Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 44 The Hidden Mist Attacks (Please continue reading)

"Very good, that's very good."

Inside the underground laboratory, Madara was observing Hagoromo and the others through White Zetsu's gaze.

Although Madara was very confident that this guy, Haori, would definitely be able to replace Obito, or even surpass him.

He had seen how outstanding Yuzhi was, and at one point he even wondered if he had chosen the wrong person.

However, he is Madara Uchiha, and once he makes up his mind, there is no need for him to change it.

Especially since Yuzhi is too clever and difficult to control, choosing him will inevitably lead to unexpected problems.

More importantly, in his view, the two were actually the same.

Now that he had made the decision, he naturally wanted to check on the condition of these 'actors'.

The haori truly met his requirements, and it could be said that it was made exceptionally well!

However, he is also thinking about something: should he take some necessary measures against Kakashi and Rin in advance to avoid any problems?

"Absolutely brilliant."

After much deliberation, Ban finally spoke.

"You guide the Hidden Mist people to Kakashi's side, and the most important thing is to separate them, understand?"

"No problem, Lord Madara."

Soon, a white Zetsu emerged from the wall and nodded in agreement.

"However, Lord Madara, there is one more thing I need to report to you."

"What is it?"

Ban seemed a little puzzled, but he remained remarkably calm.

"That little brat Uchiha Hagoromo brought a woman from the Uchiha clan with him."

Bai Jue shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.

"But I don't know what they're doing. Anyway, that woman separated from him before entering the Konoha camp."

"An Uchiha woman?"

Upon hearing this news, Ban frowned; he truly didn't know anything about it.

He told Obito that he was ensuring that the "actors" like Haori would be on stage, but in reality, he knew that these people would inevitably come.

Personnel from Kirigakure suddenly appeared in the Land of Grass, and it seems they intend to disrupt the peace talks.

Faced with this situation, Konoha naturally had to send some elite troops, such as Kakashi and others who had already carried out the mission of blowing up the bridge.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze himself was on the front lines, and he needed to cooperate with the people of Konoha to complete the negotiations, so his squad would naturally be involved.

As for Yuzhi, this guy fought in the Land of Whirlpools and the Hidden Mist Village, and also earned merit in the Land of Grass.

Given the current situation, no village would allow someone with such talent not to come!

Therefore, he didn't know much about the Uchiha clan, especially since this clan had disappointed him utterly.

Unless it's to gather necessary intelligence, he won't pay much attention to it.

Do you know who that woman is?

Ban pondered for a moment before asking the question.

"I don't know, no investigation has been done."

Bai Jue shrugged and replied casually.

"We only discovered it after they entered the Land of Grass."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who she is."

Ban thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Observe her closely. If she becomes troublesome, lure her to Iwagakure. If she's not troublesome, let Kirigakure deal with her."

Although an unexpected incident occurred, Madara didn't take it too seriously.

It didn't even matter to him whether he dealt with it or not, as long as he ensured that Kakashi and Rin wouldn't recognize him, and that Obito was properly disguised.

So, it doesn't matter if Minato Namikaze comes!

"Also, be ready to notify Obito at any time."

"Haven't he been looking forward to this for a long time? Let him face reality then."

"Haori, where do you think these Mist Ninja are hiding?"

In the forest of the Grass Country, Rin looked at the haori with some curiosity.

Of the three, only Yuzhi had interacted with the Mist Ninja, which is why Kakashi was willing to listen to Yuzhi's commands.

"Well, actually, it's not that easy to find people with Mist Ninja."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhi pursed her lips. Searching for traces of the Mist Ninja was no easy task, even though he had fought to the death with them in the Land of Whirlpools.

And to my shame, Yuzhi was too embarrassed to tell Kakashi and the others that he was the one who was ambushed back then.

The reason he started teaming up with other people from the Land of Whirlpools was largely because his previous teammates had all been ambushed and killed by the Mist Ninja.

"Speaking of which, you rarely talk about things in the Land of Whirlpools, Hagoromo."

Kakashi turned around and asked with some curiosity.

"Besides, you rarely talk about your teammates."

There's not much to say about the war in the Land of Whirlpools.

He feigned helplessness and sighed.

"As for my teammates, they all died at the hands of the Mist Ninja. I was just lucky."

The moment the haori appeared, Kakashi and Rin felt a little ashamed; they even regretted asking such a question.

Now they seemed to understand why Haori could say so many thought-provoking things.

Only by experiencing and feeling it can one truly empathize!

"Feel sorry."

Lin said in a low voice, and Kakashi's eyes were full of shame.

"It's alright, let's focus on the mission."

When Yuzhi saw his look, she immediately realized that the two of them had misunderstood, but she didn't bother to explain.

After all, he changed teammates two or three times before finally starting to team up with other teams.

He can barely remember the names of his original teammates now.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Yuri frowned, stopped, and made a tactical gesture.

At that very moment, he activated his Sharingan, and his gaze quickly swept across his surroundings.

Kakashi saw Haori's movement and also raised his headband, his crimson Sharingan slowly rotating within his eye sockets.

"It seems we have an enemy."

"Haori said quickly."

"There's chakra in the air. This is the preparation for those Mist Ninja to create the Mist Concealment Technique. Be careful."

"Um."

Kakashi and Rin nodded immediately, but at that very moment, a huge water dragon suddenly roared and rushed towards them!

Without needing any reminder, Yuzhi and the others immediately jumped up and dodged the water dragon.

As they landed in all directions, the chakra in the air began to increase rapidly, and everything around them became somewhat hazy in an instant.

"Is it another Mist Concealment Technique?"

Yuri was also quite troubled by this scene, as he had been seriously tricked by this technique when he was in the Land of Whirlpools.

In fact, there was one thing he never understood: why Fugaku Uchiha agreed when Konoha asked the Uchiha to deal with Kirigakure.

It's important to know that Kirigakure is skilled in both Water Release and Hidden Mist Techniques, which is extremely unfavorable for the Uchiha clan.

In particular, the strongest state of the Hidden Mist Technique can even obscure the vision of the Rinnegan!

"However, the amount of chakra infused into these Mist Ninja's Hidden Mist Techniques is not much, so it's nothing to me."

Yuzhi's eyes darted around rapidly, allowing him to see through the mist and clearly identify the presence and location of others.

Even though what he saw was very blurry and was an image of chakra flowing, it was enough for him!

hum-

The ninja sword swept across the sky with a series of sounds, slashing straight towards Yuki's back.

However, the next moment, Yuzhi suddenly turned around, her scarlet Sharingan appearing even more alluring in the mist.

PS: I've seen many experts say that focusing solely on the village is unreasonable, so I'll briefly explain my thoughts here.

1. One of Jiraiya's legendary Sannin. When he led his team back, not only the gatekeeper ninjas, but even the Anbu wouldn't stop him if they saw him.

2. The protagonist himself is a hero of Konoha, which further increases trust, and the large group entering the village won't be recorded one by one.

3. As can be seen from the original work, Jiraiya had no interest in the messy affairs of the higher-ups. He was too busy avoiding them to get involved, so he wouldn't say anything more based on his trust in the protagonist.

4. Is it really that hard to disguise the power of light so that it goes unnoticed?

5. At this point in time, Danzo might not pay much attention to the Uchiha clan unless he does something extraordinary—similar to when the protagonist met Kushina. At this point in time, he was preparing for the Hokage position, and he also went to the Land of Water to confront Nagato, resulting in the Root being destroyed and forced to rebuild.

6. Although past grievances might be brought up again, since they were seen, at least it won't happen now; the protagonist has time to make amends.

I wrote this based on the factors mentioned above; it wasn't just something I wrote down on a whim. I didn't go into too much detail because I was afraid of being accused of padding.
