I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 4 A-Rank Ninjutsu: Chidori

In the light drizzle, I had just come out when I saw Uchiha Shisui in the distance, clearly having been waiting for some time.

Uchiha Yoru, however, acted as if nothing had happened, casually shrugging as he stepped forward and asked, "What matter requires the intervention of our genius Shisui?"

The two appeared in the woods. Uchiha Shisui did not mind after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and slowly took out a scroll from his weapon bag and handed it to him.

"Brother Ye, this is the ninjutsu bestowed upon you by the elder, and also the funds you need. Meet at the village gate at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After reporting the mission information, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed softly. He could understand the Uchiha clan's anxiety, but unfortunately, this gamble was destined to be a futile effort.

After finishing their business, Uchiha Shisui's eyes turned serious as he said in a deep voice, "Brother Night, once you've finished dealing with your matter, at least for now, don't provoke her, or you'll hurt her."

Shisui's meaning was clear: the Uchiha clan was currently in a precarious position, and associating with other civilian ninjas would only cause trouble and could even bring negative consequences to them.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru gave Shisui a strange look, then teased, "Shisui, you'll understand when you have a girlfriend."

Good heavens, after hearing such shameless words, Uchiha Shisui was speechless. Looking at the person in front of him who was only one year older than him, he simply couldn't understand.

The two returned to the Uchiha clan like fleas. Konoha had just experienced the Nine-Tails' attack and was in a state of disarray, with all the ninjas busy and overwhelmed. However, the Uchiha clan ninjas were almost all preparing for relocation.

Returning to their temporary residences assigned by the clan, the Uchiha clan was affected by the Nine-Tails' Night, especially the police department. It was precisely because of this that Konoha used this as an excuse to force the Uchiha to relocate to their clan's territory.

Opening the scroll reveals two B-rank ninjutsu techniques, along with training and manipulation experience for the Sharingan, as well as some precautions. After all, while opening the Sharingan is one thing, it still requires training. Just like how even among those with three tomoe, there are differences in the strength of their eye power.

Upon seeing the various methods for enhancing and training the Sharingan, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and smiled. Although the system was somewhat rigid, it was undeniably quite comprehensive in its services. After exchanging for a one-tomoe Sharingan, he also received countless experience techniques, which not only allowed his body to perfectly adapt but also brought him to the limit of a one-tomoe Sharingan.

In other words, what the system redeemed was directly top-tier, truly living up to the saying "you get what you pay for." However, when he flipped to the last A-rank ninjutsu, his pupils instantly contracted.

"I never expected it to be this kind of ninjutsu."

Looking at the familiar ninjutsu, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed, "That's true. The Uchiha are undoubtedly the number one clan in Konoha. If Kakashi's Sharingan is to be preserved, it's not just about his relationship with the Fourth Hokage, but also about a prestige project."

They can't lower themselves just because you're the Fourth Hokage, can they? That's not enough. So Kakashi used this ninjutsu, which was enough to barely get through to them.

"No wonder the Third Hokage and others didn't stop Kakashi from teaching Sasuke in the original story; now I know why."

Chidori, an A-rank ninjutsu, is Kakashi's signature ninjutsu, created by himself. It's a ninjutsu that can be fully utilized when combined with the Sharingan. Not to mention the Uchiha clan, even within Konoha, the lightning style is quite rare. Therefore, this ninjutsu has been shelved for a long time.

A tomoe appeared in his eyes as he solemnly and relentlessly memorized all the information on the scroll. He hadn't activated the Sharingan to show off; after all, what was the point of showing off when he was alone in a tent?

Such precious ninjutsu scrolls from the Uchiha clan naturally contain sealing techniques. The correct content will only appear when viewed with the Sharingan. While ordinary eyes will also see the contents, they will be different, with important key parts altered. Anyone who tries to practice them will know that there will definitely be no good outcome.

……

The next morning, a large number of people had already gathered outside the gates of Konoha. Teams of ninjas assembled and then vanished like fleas—no, they should be called black shadows.

"Brother Ye, let's go, we can talk on the way."

When the Uchiha appeared, the passing ninjas, especially the genin and chunin, were relatively calm, but there was a clear, unseen sense of exclusion among the jonin.

This time, the Uchiha clan had quite a few members, with eight of them including him. The leader was clearly the Uchiha genius, Shisui.

As the team leader, Shisui personally led the way at the front. After distancing himself from the people behind him, he said in a deep voice, "Brother Ye, this time we are going to the border of the neighboring Sea Country, where Lord Orochimaru is stationed."

Taking the scroll, Uchiha Yoru squinted as he read its contents, then nodded slightly. "I see. So this is the signal the Uchiha clan sent, right?"

The Nine-Tails' attack caused heavy losses to Konoha, including the death of the Fourth Hokage. This illustrates the severity of the damage. Unrest began to occur in various border regions, which explains why the Third Hokage was able to regain power so easily. Only Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to stabilize the current situation in the shortest amount of time.

After three days, the attitude towards the Uchiha clan was basically determined: relocation! Precaution! This was an indisputable fact, and the Uchiha clan also had its own countermeasures.

That was a signal of goodwill. Similarly, the Hokage clan also sent its own signal. After all, if you asked me to relocate my clan's territory, I would have done so. Now that the situation is turbulent, the Uchiha clan needs to regain trust, and the village needs the strength of the Uchiha clan.

And these were the signals first sent out by the Uchiha clan: to be assigned to missions in the border regions. After all, just because of a lack of trust, all of the Uchiha's elite were hoarded in the village. Hah, even Hiruzen Sarutobi probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

During this special period, both sides began to show their goodwill. The Uchiha began to send their forces to protect Konoha, in order to prove themselves and regain trust. In the eyes of the Uchiha, Konoha also showed goodwill. If you are good, I am good, and everyone can be good.

"Shisui, this mission is to go to the border. Lord Orochimaru is really amazing. He is stationed at the front line and has almost simultaneously defended against both the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning and the Mist Village of the Land of Water."

Uchiha Yoru smiled and said, his eyes narrowed. Uchiha Shisui looked quite pleased, probably because the relationship between his clan and the village had at least stopped deteriorating. The goodwill signals from both sides gave him hope, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shisui was clearly in a good mood, and nodded to Uchiha Yoru with a smile, saying, "Lord Orochimaru is stationed at the front line, guarding against both the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water. We Uchiha are going to support the front line."

With such a major incident in Konoha, including the death of the Fourth Hokage, it would be a miracle if other villages didn't take advantage of the chaos. After all, it can be inferred from the original work that although Konoha didn't experience any major wars after the Nine-Tails' attack, localized small-scale conflicts and even clandestine probing continued.

The fact that Shizuku came from the battlefield with the Mist Ninja, and the incident involving the Hyuga clan during the peace talks with the Cloud Ninja Village of the Land of Lightning, can be inferred from the power struggles between nations.

I'm seeking all kinds of support for my new book.
