Chapter 115 The Lady Gradually Becomes Lost in Dreams (Please Subscribe)

"Lord Danzo, are we really going to help Hanzo fight against the Akatsuki?"

After leaving Amegakure, Aburame Ryoma asked; he had heard the conditions Hanzo had mentioned earlier, and they sounded easy, something Hanzo himself should be able to do, so why leave it to them?

"Before coming here, Root also gathered some intelligence on the Land of Rain. It seems that the Akatsuki is an organization spontaneously created by some Rain Ninja. They seem to want to obtain peace through peace negotiations with major powers."

"Is Hanzo wary of this kind of organization?"

Danzo was stunned for a moment. He felt it was a bit unbelievable. Hanzo was, after all, a ninja known as a demigod. Although Amegakure lost to Konoha and Sunagakure in the last war, Hanzo himself did not lose.

Now that we're even wary of such a foolish organization within our own country, do we need to rely on their inner circle to eliminate them?

"At this point, we simply don't have the manpower to do anything else. Let's investigate first and then drag it out."

Danzo told Ryoma Aburame that Root's energy was all focused on the other major ninja villages, and they had no ninjas to help Hanzo eliminate the Akatsuki; they needed Hanzo's strength, not to help him.

Danzo will only consider it after defeating the Sand Ninja.

When the alliance was signed, it was clearly stated that other conditions would only be fulfilled after the Sand Ninja were defeated.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

Koharu Utatane arrived and immediately said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Hiruzen, Konoha Hospital is almost full. Clear out the nearby houses. If the front lines reopen, more wounded soldiers may be sent back."

"How come it's so fast?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face flashed with surprise. How long had it been? And the battle lines between the Eastern Ninja and the Cloud Ninja had not yet begun a large-scale war.

"Kikyo Castle sent seventy or eighty seriously injured people at once. Don't you think about how small Konoha Hospital is? Medical supplies are being used up very quickly. I don't even know if Yan can buy any."

After Koharu Utatane finished speaking, she immediately complained to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "You shouldn't have let Tsunade leave. Hemophobia is just an excuse. Others may not know, but don't you know Tsunade's abilities? Even if she's hemophobic, she can use slugs to split and heal!"

Hemophobia is a psychological trauma that triggers fear upon seeing blood, but as long as she doesn't see blood, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu is still the best in Konoha.

There were so many methods, but Hiruzen Sarutobi insisted on letting the person go, which greatly increased Konoha's medical pressure after Tsunade left.

To put it bluntly, she is the only medical ninja who can stand alone like Tsunade and change the course of a battle.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, smoking without saying a word. Koharu Utatane made it sound easy, but Tsunade said she would leave, and more than a year had passed without Koharu Utatane intervening.

If he could have been stopped, he would have spoken up long ago; of the three students, Tsunade was the hardest to persuade.

"There's no use talking about that now. Among the medical ninjas, there's Uzumaki Mina, right? Tsunade speaks highly of her, and she also performed well at Kikyo Castle."

"Although she has good talent, she has only studied medical ninjutsu for less than two years, so even when she saves people, she can only do so one by one."

Koharu Utatane spoke up, "Hiruzen, why don't we have Mina Uchiha sign a summoning contract with Slug and learn Slug's splitting therapy? That way, we can bring back a few medical ninjas from Kikyo Castle, and the pressure on Konoha Hospital will be greatly reduced."

So that's what you were planning, Xiaochun.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment. If Tsunade could pass on her slug splitting healing technique, it would indeed be a great help to Konoha. However, given Tsunade's temperament, he dared not make a guarantee.

"I'll send someone to find Tsunade and ask her. These things can't be rushed. Since Tsunade didn't teach us when she was alive, we shouldn't have too much hope now."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane were talking, someone came looking for them outside the door.

After letting him in, they discovered it was Uchiha Fugaku.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Fugaku, what's the matter?"

"We have two matters to discuss with the Third Hokage. One is that the security force recently arrested four spies and seven suspected spies from other villages, who have been handed over to the interrogation team. The second is a private matter concerning the Uchiha clan; we wish to purchase this land."

As Fugaku Uchiha spoke, he also spread out the map in his hand for Hiruzen Sarutobi to see.

"Buy the land?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't react much to the first matter; the spy had already been handed over to the interrogation team, and all he needed to do now was wait for news. So he focused on listening to the second matter.

"This land doesn't seem to be very developed, and it's near the edge of the village. Fugaku, what do you want to do with this land?"

"Because of some decisions made by the clan, we want to build a comprehensive market and shopping center here to meet the daily needs of the clan members and villagers. There was a resolution in place before, but we have been busy with the garrison recently, so we only found the third generation elder now."

Fugaku Uchiha spoke very eloquently. In fact, it was because Yoichi Uchiha hadn't spoken up that things had been delayed.

After Uchiha Yoichi finalized things, Mikoto found a construction team, and Uchiha Fugaku finally approached the Third Hokage today.

Originally, Mikoto could have handled this matter herself. She paid the money, bought the land, and then let the construction team into the village.

However, Fugaku Uchiha wanted to get involved, in the name of the Uchiha clan rather than in the name of Yoichi Uchiha, which led to this whole situation.

"Is that so? It doesn't sound like a bad thing. In that case, I agree. Let Yan talk to you about the rest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up, saying that he was no stranger to doing business and that the Sarutobi clan also had profitable projects, but they were rare in Konoha.

Since there aren't many people in Konoha, trying to make a big move here would likely result in losing money. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think much of it. He was too busy with so many things every day that he didn't have time to investigate this matter in detail.

After receiving permission, Fugaku Uchiha went to see Homura Mitokado to agree on the price of the land and sign a contract before heading home.

The completion of this integrated commercial district is a result of communication between Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, and the village. He will mention it at the next clan meeting when he returns, which will increase his prestige as clan head.

When Fugaku Uchiha returned home, Mikoto, wearing a fitted dress, came out when she heard the door open. Upon seeing Fugaku, she asked, "Fugaku, is it done?"

"Yes, it's five million in total. Once we pay, construction can begin. Mikoto, please mention this at the next clan meeting."

"Talking about this? Shouldn't we wait until it's built before saying anything?"

"Let's talk about it at the next clan meeting."

Without giving it much thought, Mikoto said to Fugaku Uchiha, "Fugaku, I'm going out of the village tomorrow. Get this done as soon as possible."

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback upon hearing this: "So soon?"

"It's not in a rush. There's just nothing much going on lately. What's up, Fugaku?"

After Mikoto finished speaking, she thought about it for a moment and realized that she did seem a little anxious.

However, considering that this was something Yang Yijun had instructed her to do, she inexplicably felt a strong urge to complete it as soon as possible. Yesterday, Mikoto had that dream again, and for the past few days in a row, she had been having the same dream, making it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and dreams.

In her dream, she lived with Sasuke and Yang Yijun. The two of them would take Sasuke to school together, and while cooking dinner, they would watch the father and son playing around. In the end, she and her dream husband, Yang Yijun, went crazy together. It seemed that even after six or seven years of marriage, he couldn't extinguish his passion.

"Mikoto, are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing, Fugaku. If there's nothing else, I'll go back and pack my things."

Mikoto was woken up by Fugaku Uchiha. She answered with a slight panic in her heart, and then hurriedly went to the study.

Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly as he watched Mikoto's departing figure, then sighed and thought to himself: I'm sorry, Mikoto, hang in there a little longer.

He knew that Mikoto hadn't been sleeping well lately, often waking up in the middle of the night, and had so many things to do during the day. However, as long as he could suppress Uchiha Yoichi's momentum, he would make it up to Mikoto later.

"It's Konoha's Raiga! Run! Get the message back!"

Several Cloud Ninja on an infiltration mission suddenly bumped into three Konoha Ninja. Upon seeing the leader, the Cloud Ninja captain immediately shouted in panic.

As the greatest enemy of Kumogakure and the person the Third Raikage ordered to be killed, Uchiha Yoichi's appearance and features had long been known throughout Kumogakure.

All the Cloud Ninja captains who carry out infiltration missions will definitely send a message as soon as they see Konoha Raiga.

But they didn't have that opportunity!

Squeak!

A thunderous sound rang out, and the captain of the Cloud Ninja Squad was about to form hand seals to use ninjutsu, but as soon as his hands came together, a blade wrapped in lightning appeared in his field of vision.

puff!

His heart was pierced by a knife, and a sharp pain shot through him. In that instant, it felt as if all the strength in the Cloud Ninja Squad Captain's body had been drained away.

"So fast."

After saying this, the Cloud Ninja's vision was filled with darkness, and he died and went to the Yellow Springs.

Drawing his Raiga, Uchiha Yoichi glanced at the Cloud Ninja who had fled in three directions, then created two shadow clones that vanished in a flash of lightning.

Only after he left did three Konoha ninjas step forward to deal with the body.

"The captain is really strong; we didn't even have a chance to make a move."

"Of course, just look at our respective strengths, and you'll know that this team is here to serve Captain Yang."

Inuzuka Daikichi spoke up, "Hyuga Kira, observe the enemy's Byakugan. I am from the Inuzuka clan. And Inoshita-kun, you know some medical ninjutsu and barrier techniques. We just need to help the captain find the enemy and deal with their tracks."

"By the way, does he have any intelligence on him?"

"Apart from ninja tools, there's nothing else. There are no traps in the ninja tool bag either. It seems we can replenish our supplies. But I don't have much to replenish. I've barely even thrown any kunai these past few days."

Yamaiwa spoke first, then handed the ninja tool bag to the other two; he had already disposed of the soldier rations and some unsafe scrolls inside, leaving only the kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags.

Hyuga Kira shook his head, refusing the offer. He rarely used ninja tools. Inuzuka Daikichi, however, took the ninja tool bag, took out the explosive tags inside, and said, "These explosive tags are mine. I used some up making traps the other day, so this is a good replenishment."

Inuzuka Daikichi sighed, "I used to think that Konoha's Raiga's reputation was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that Captain Yoichi's strength might have been underestimated. That Cloud Ninja Jonin we encountered last time didn't last long under the captain."

Hyuga Kira said, "The captain is too fast. Combined with his physique and swordsmanship, ordinary ninjas simply can't react."

He possesses the Byakugan, which allows him to see the flow of chakra within a body. Under his Byakugan's observation, the chakra flow within Uchiha Yangichi is four times that of theirs.

Hyuga Kira could hardly believe that such a rapid flow of chakra would cause him excruciating pain. He had already pushed his chakra flow to its maximum speed, but his meridians and body could no longer withstand it.

He couldn't even imagine the pain that Uchiha Yoichi would endure with that kind of chakra flow, and yet his face remained completely expressionless.

Soon, Uchiha Yoichi returned with three ninja tool bags. Seeing the ninja tools scattered on the ground, he knew that they had already searched the area.

Daikichi Inuzuka said, "Captain, you're back. We've replenished our supplies, but these men don't have any information about their mission."

"Okay, let's leave after we destroy the body and move on to the next area."

Uchiha Yoichi threw his ninja tool bag onto the corpse. Upon seeing this, the three of them immediately teleported away. Then, a ball of fire struck the corpse and the ninja tool bag, causing the explosive tags inside to explode instantly after being engulfed by the flames.

After leaving the area where they had encountered the Cloud Ninja squad, Uchiha Yoichi stopped for a moment and then asked, "Do you want to rest for a bit?"

Daikichi Inuzuka glanced at the other two, then shook his head and said, "No need, Captain. We didn't contribute at all. Just make the arrangements."

"Finding the enemy is also important; without you, I simply cannot find the enemy."

Uchiha Yoichi took out a map and gestured for everyone to come closer before saying, "We've almost finished clearing this area, but since the mission was so easy, I don't plan to go back. So, I'd like to try my luck here. What do you guys think?"

Hyuga, Kira, and the other two exchanged glances, then whispered a reminder: "Captain, this seems to be a supply route for the Cloud Ninja."

"Well, with you guys here, I think the chances of being surrounded by a large force are almost nonexistent. If we do encounter a Cloud Ninja squad, I'm confident I can bring you all back unharmed."

With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he only needs to hold off the enemies so the three can escape first, after which he will be the safest.

"Then we'll do as you say, Captain. We trust you."

Inuzuka Daikichi spoke up, saying that after spending the past few days together, they had come to understand Uchiha Yoichi's style of doing things; although he was usually not very talkative, he would take the lead when encountering enemies and leave the easiest enemies to them.

Moreover, they have strong backing, so unless they are really sent to their deaths, Inuzuka Daikichi and the other two will obey Uchiha Yoichi's orders.

In just ten days, they had taken down five Cloud Ninja squads. This was why they trusted Uchiha Yoichi. Of the twenty Cloud Ninja, fifteen died under Uchiha Yoichi's Raiga.
