Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 93 Danzo: Hiruzen, I will definitely correct your mistakes! (10,000-word chapter)

"Haori, Hibari, are you alright? Last night's battle was so fierce."

At Yuzhi's house, Rin looked at Yuzhi and Hikaru with concern in her eyes and asked.

"Damn it, it's such a shame I couldn't fight alongside you guys last night like we used to."

Ah Kai was also shouting from the side, his face full of indignation.

His words were so outrageous that even Kakashi and Aoba couldn't help but glance at him, their faces filled with helplessness.

They had received definite information last night, so they naturally knew what Yuzhi and the others had done last night.

This filled them with immense admiration, but also a profound sense of helplessness.

Last night they also wanted to fight the Nine-Tails to the death, but in the end they were sent into the barrier for protection, and were not given any chance at all.

They were only released after everything had settled down.

The thought of this made them feel depressed, even though they later heard how terrible the battle really was.

Countless Konoha ninja, even the Third and Fourth Hokage, were unable to intervene in this battle.

Even if they went, they would only be there to observe, but they still longed to do something.

As for why Yui and Hikari are so strong, they don't even consider it.

Because in their view, these two have always seemed ridiculously strong.

"Don't worry, Lin, we're fine, thank you."

Both Haori and Hikaru smiled, but Haori quickly shook her head.

"However, I think the Third Hokage handled the Nine-Tails matter very well. This is no child's play. I wonder if you know anything about the Asuma family?"

Kakashi and the others fell silent. Asuma had been with them, but after receiving some news, he silently went home.

Even without being told, everyone can guess what happened.

Lin sighed helplessly, "Sigh, I really didn't expect something like this to happen."

"Who on earth did this?" Kakashi frowned and said, "What a hateful person."

Unlike the original story, because of Nagato, everyone knows that what happened last night was not an accident, but a deliberate attack on Konoha.

"He's a lunatic." Guang, who was standing to the side, tilted his head and suddenly spoke up after hearing this.

"That's right, he really is a lunatic." Yuzhi nodded as well.

He couldn't understand Obito's logic, but he had no intention of empathizing with a lunatic.

"Do you guys know who did this?"

Upon hearing this, Kai and Aoba immediately looked at Haori with confusion, as did Kakashi and Rin.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, who doesn't hate the person who caused what happened last night?

"I've met him twice. Actually, you've met him too, Kakashi. He's that lunatic from the Land of Grass."

Without any hesitation, Yuki sold Obito out.

"The Land of Grass?" Lin pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something: "That bastard?"

"Damn it!" Kakashi immediately recalled, his eyes filled with resentment. "Next time I see that guy, I'll definitely kill him!"

"Good luck." Seeing the expressions on the two people's faces, Yuzhi couldn't help but chuckle dryly.

In his heart, he couldn't help but think, if this continues, it might be too late for Obito to reveal his true form.

However, Yuzhi noticed that Guy and Aoba seemed to want to ask something, so he immediately interrupted them, as he didn't want to continue talking about Obito.

"Alright, let's put that crazy person issue aside for now. I think you should be more concerned about the aftermath of this incident."

"What happened next?"

Kakashi and the others looked at Yui with puzzled expressions, not quite understanding what she meant.

"Although the Nine-Tails incident did not cause any major physical damage, it was still a kind of invisible damage to the village."

Yuri shrugged and promptly changed the subject.

"That would be damage to our reputation. Even if we resolve the problem in time, there will still be lingering effects."

If a ninja village can't even manage its own tailed beasts, it creates a feeling of being "untrustworthy".

And most importantly, it's hard to say what other villages might be thinking, thus harboring any resentment.

Yuzhi remembers that three years after the Nine-Tails incident, Kumogakure began to put pressure on Konoha.

However, Konoha was in a really bad state back then. The Fourth Hokage and his wife died, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki needed to be trained.

With high-end combatants either running away or dying, and future pillars like Kakashi yet to mature, the entire Hidden Leaf Village is facing a talent shortage.

It can be said that the Nine-Tails incident revealed Konoha's weakness to the entire ninja world.

Actually, there were opportunities to salvage their reputation at the time.

That means the Third Hokage should be more assertive when facing pressure from Kumogakure, even if it means refusing to hand over the person to the death.

But he made a decision that left Hinata in the future to watch the show.

As for now, he doesn't know what will happen to Yunyin, but that doesn't stop him from using this as a basis for his argument.

"Haori, are you saying there's a possibility of war breaking out?"

Lin remembered that Yuzhi had once talked to her about interests and war, and she was the quickest to react.

Her words made Kakashi and the others frown, and even Shisui, who hadn't said much, looked slightly worried.

"Who knows, but we can't forget that Kumogakure and we haven't signed any ceasefire agreement."

Yuri shrugged and said quietly.

"Moreover, wars in the ninja world are never isolated events. The Third Shinobi World War broke out because Sunagakure attacked us."

What was supposed to be a battle between two villages ended up becoming a major war across the entire ninja world.

If the Hidden Cloud Village really makes any moves this time, no one knows what the future holds.

Yuzhi's words were not an exaggeration, after all, there was the precedent set by Sunagakure.

Even without the Nine-Tails incident, it's an undeniable fact that Kumogakure and Konoha didn't sign a ceasefire agreement, so it wouldn't be surprising if they really started fighting again.

"Probably not."

After a while, Shisui spoke up quietly from the side.

"Senior, didn't we already sign a ceasefire agreement with the other villages? This shouldn't be the case, right?"

"An agreement is just an agreement; it means nothing when it comes to the interests of the village."

Yuzhi glanced at Shisui and realized that this kid was really too naive.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's not like you can simply tell people about your Kaleidoscope Eye Technique.

"For a village like Zhishui, the considerations are never about morality or ethics, which are the standards for being human."

Their only consideration is their most practical interests, so don't overestimate a person's moral bottom line, especially when they claim to be acting from the village's perspective.

Unbeknownst to her, the haori had once again subtly criticized Danzo, although given the current situation, Danzo was no longer a significant threat to her.

However, to prevent Shisui from pulling any tricks, Yuri felt she should do something, since Itachi Uchiha had already been fooled.

He could ignore Itachi Uchiha now; even if he had potential, he lacked ability. Even as the son of the clan leader, he was nothing more than a former clan leader.

But Shisui is different. This kid has already awakened the kaleidoscope, and he's also terrifyingly naive. If you don't keep an eye on him, it's hard to say what might really happen.

However, his words were still thought-provoking. Apart from Guy scratching his head slightly, Kakashi and the others fell into deep thought.

At this moment, although they had always known that Yuzhi was very smart, they now realized that the gap between them was really quite large!

"Even though they're the same age, he can already see things from the village's perspective..."

However, although they felt emotional, none of them felt uncomfortable.

After all, the haori is so good that it's impossible to be jealous of it.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. After all, it's the Hokage and the others who should be worried."

Yuzhi didn't continue his "outburst of madness," knowing that ninja academies never taught such things.

Yuzhi is destined to become Hokage, and his old classmates are the future pillars of Konoha. Naturally, he hopes they can do even better.

However, it's not very meaningful to "cram" them all at once. Even if you tell them now that "war is a continuation of politics," they might not understand.

They probably don't even understand what 'politics' is.

Take it slow, gradually increase output step by step; this is the long-term solution!

"Moreover, even if things don't go smoothly in the future, we will still have the opportunity to continuously improve ourselves. As for now, I think we should relax a bit."

After everything that's happened, we're all still safe and sound. Isn't that something to celebrate?

"That's a great idea!"

Guy was the first to respond, and Kakashi and the others nodded in agreement.

"How about we call Asuma over? He's probably not in a good mood right now, maybe he needs some encouragement?"

Lin thought for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Let's ask him first. Asuma is probably going through a lot right now because he lost a loved one. If he comes, let's call everyone."

Kakashi thought for a moment before speaking.

"That way, we can all comfort him and make him feel less upset."

"What do you think?"

Seeing Kakashi and the others discussing something, Haori tilted her head and whispered to Hikaru, "What do you mean?"

"I don't mind, there's nothing wrong with it being a bit lively."

She seemed indifferent at first glance, but Hagoromo could sense that she was in a good mood.

No one likes being alone, and having already felt the warmth of the light, they are even less willing to be alone.

"Then it's settled. Let's have a barbecue on the back hill tonight. Zhishui, don't leave either, come with us."

Yuzhi smiled and then spoke.

"Okay, senior!"

Shisui paused for a moment, then immediately smiled happily.

"Shisui? I heard you participated in the battle last night. I'm so envious."

Akai glanced at Shisui, then immediately put his hand on Shisui's shoulder in a familiar manner.

"Actually, it's not that you can't stay."

Shisui felt Kai's enthusiasm, and although he was a little uncomfortable with it, he liked the atmosphere.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said.

"I happened to be on duty in the area where the Nine-Tails appeared last night, so I was one of the first people to stop the Nine-Tails."

Although the third generation also hoped I would leave, I told him I had been to the battlefield, and he stopped worrying about it.

"."

Shisui's words instantly stunned Kakashi and the others; everyone present had been on the battlefield.

Is it even possible to do this?

The group was somewhat dazed until they left Yuzhi's house and slowly came to their senses.

"I never imagined it could be done this way."

Aoba pursed her lips, looking somewhat depressed.

"Um"

Kakashi nodded silently. He and Guy were stopped by the Anbu last night and eventually sent into the barrier.

Thinking about it now makes him feel quite sad.

"By the way, did you guys notice?"

Ah Kai suddenly laughed, and then spoke in a somewhat mysterious tone.

"It seems that the layout of Yuzhi's house is all in twos."

"Let's go, we have other things to do."

"That's right, let's hurry up!"

Before Guy could finish speaking, Kakashi and Aoba immediately and swiftly restrained him, preventing him from spouting any more nonsense.

Lin pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

Since everyone here is a ninja, they will habitually observe the place after entering Yuri's house.

They all noticed, of course, that traces of the two of them living together were everywhere in Yuzhi's house—

Mizukage Village, Mizukage's Office.

Obito and Black Zetsu were hidden inside the Kamui dimension, watching the Fourth Mizukage outside the dimension with indifference.

"Is this the guy? Are you sure your idea will work?"

Obito pondered for a moment before asking indifferently.

"Don't worry, I'm all prepared, there won't be any problems."

Black Zetsu nodded seriously. This was a method he had come up with after much thought, so he was naturally very confident.

After all, he wasn't an idiot like Obito who did things without considering the consequences!

If Obito didn't still have value, Black Zetsu would have really wanted to quit and run away.

"That's good. By the way, now that we've taken control of the Hidden Mist Village, what are your thoughts on how we should proceed?"

Obito seemed genuinely taken aback. He glanced at Black Zetsu beside him and then asked in a low voice.

"Although Kirigakure has many bloodline clans and caused Konoha a lot of losses in the previous Shinobi World War, it seems that none of them can compare to Uchiha Haori."

Why do you keep thinking about that Uchiha Haori?

Although someone else has indeed replaced you, the problem is that they are so outstanding, what do you have to compare with them?

Although Black Zetsu was somewhat unable to contain himself, he still patiently began to explain.

"Don't always think about one person. You can cultivate many outstanding talents by helping Wuyin develop."

Even if they can't compare to Uchiha Haori, they can still cultivate excellent talents with the resources of Kirigakure.

Furthermore, if he can't defeat Uchiha Haori by his own strength, can't we find his weakness?

His weaknesses?

After thinking carefully for a while, Obito suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke.

"His weakness should be that woman with him, named Uchiha Hotaru."

I remember clearly that they were already living together.

"Damn thief, you already have this woman, why do you still want her?"

What more do you want? She's charming and good-looking. You're still not convinced, are you?

Although Black Zetsu didn't understand love and romance, what hadn't he seen in a thousand years?

Furthermore, to say that Uchiha Hotaru is Hagoromo's weakness is incredibly stupid.

Are you unaware of that woman's capabilities, or are you genuinely pretending not to see them?

"You've mentioned how much you know about Uchiha Hotaru, but I hope you can think back carefully."

Helpless, Black Zetsu was too lazy to dwell on the question. In fact, he was also very curious about who this so-called Uchiha Hotaru really was.

He has pondered this question for a long time, but he still doesn't have an answer.

Because he always felt that he had heard of or witnessed similar abilities before!

"Could it be the reincarnation of someone from the Uchiha clan thousands of years ago?"

Although it's incredibly absurd, the chakra reincarnations of Indra and Ashura have been intertwined for a thousand years.

It's not impossible that the Uchiha clan might produce a talent they haven't noticed.

The probability of that is extremely small, but besides, this person gave him a feeling of déjà vu.

"I don't have much of a memory. I used to be an extremely reclusive person, and my strength didn't seem to be that great."

Obito snorted coldly, but he also began to recall carefully.

"I don't know how it happened, but suddenly I ended up hanging out with that thief, Yuzhi."

I clearly remember that when she was little, she ignored everyone and wouldn't interact with anyone. How did she become like this now, even saying she wanted to destroy the world!

"."

Black Zetsu was speechless upon hearing this. Destroy the world? What was he trying to do?

However, he remembered this information and planned to go back and think about it carefully.

"However, these random abilities are starting to look more and more familiar; they seem a bit like..."

For some reason, Black Zetsu subconsciously looked up at the sky, but suddenly he shivered and forcibly stopped the thought.

"Never mind, I'll investigate properly. Also, this woman isn't Uchiha Haori's weakness."

Because this woman is simply too strong, beyond the capabilities of ordinary people, and Yuzhi cares about more than just this woman.

Doesn't he care about the Uchiha clan? Doesn't he care about Konoha?

"You mean..."

Obito paused for a moment, then seemed to understand.

"That's right. While you were preparing for the Nine-Tails, I also conducted some investigations in Konoha."

I know this guy seems to care a lot about his family, and the reforms in the police department seem to be his doing.

Besides, he had so many ties and concerns in Konoha, so this time he charged straight at the Nine-Tails without hesitation.

I naturally saw this, which is why I let you control the Hidden Mist Village. Only with a village can you fight against another village.

And his family, presumably, would also have someone willing to deal with them, since there are quite a few people who dislike the Uchiha clan.

"As long as we destroy the Uchiha clan and destroy Konoha, then..."

Obito's gaze was deep and mysterious; at that moment, he seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"This will be a huge blow to the thief, making it even easier to deal with him then!"

At least you're using your brain now.

"Therefore, we need to develop Kirigakure properly and cultivate enough talent within it!"

Black Zetsu immediately spoke up, genuinely afraid that Obito would cause trouble again.

It's hard to say what Madara's true intentions were towards Kirigakure in the original work, but when Madara controlled Kirigakure, he didn't intend to destroy it directly.

Moreover, according to Black Zetsu's logic of rescuing Kaguya Otsutsuki, it's better for him to maintain control of Kirigakure to deal with the entire ninja world than to try to salvage the situation at the last minute.

Black Zetsu is indeed trying to do something with Kirigakure, since Konoha and the Uchiha clan are really too troublesome for him.

"Furthermore, the development of the Akatsuki organization cannot be stopped. We can even use the talents of Kirigakure to support the Akatsuki organization."

They are key to our operations in the ninja world. We need them to capture the tailed beasts, and we also need Nagato's Rinnegan to fulfill our dream.

"Um."

Obito nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said...

"You should find some people and pinpoint their locations so we can locate them more easily. Also, investigate who in Konoha hates the Uchiha the most, preferably someone capable."

"I'll keep an eye on the Akatsuki, but you said Konoha hates the Uchiha clan, so I have a good option."

Upon hearing Obito's words, Black Zetsu thought to himself that the boy was teachable, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Danzo, that guy hates the Uchiha clan. Maybe we can try our luck with him. It might have some unexpected results."

Danzo?

Obito frowned, then nodded.

Danzo was the Hokage's assistant and was considered a capable person in Konoha. Although he was quite disdainful of Danzo, he was still Nagato's mortal enemy.

But so what?

Nagato was nothing more than a tool to him, and so was Danzo!

Of course, Obito didn't forget one thing.

Nagato had openly questioned whether he had acted within the White Zetsu organization. He was unaware of the matter, but he did think of something.

"If Black Zetsu can attack White Zetsu, will Madara Uchiha also attack me?"

Obito glanced furtively at Black Zetsu beside him, thinking to himself that he definitely needed to examine him thoroughly.

A month has passed since the Nine-Tails incident in Konoha.

During this month, the two most talked-about topics in Konoha were the haori and Hikaru, and the police department.

The police department performed flawlessly during this crisis, and almost every resident of Konoha could feel its importance.

Even though the incident had already sparked countless discussions on the day it ended, people still couldn't help but give it a thumbs up whenever it was mentioned.

The police officers have naturally felt an extraordinary level of enthusiasm these days, being greeted and thanked wherever they go.

Their work was carried out with unparalleled ease, a feeling that filled them with immense excitement and joy.

Although the Nine-Tails was really tired that night, and they were all extremely nervous, they still achieved a good result in the end!

"What a pity, why wasn't it in the area where the Nine-Tails appeared?"

Of course, they were still somewhat regretful, because they hadn't accomplished anything that night except maintaining order and evacuating residents.

Only Shisui and a few other squads happened to be nearby, and Shisui immediately set up the first line of defense while evacuating civilians.

This made them admire and envy the Nine-Tails, and they hoped that they could face the Nine-Tails as soon as possible.

As for the haori and the light.

In front of almost all the elite ninjas, these two thoroughly beat up the Nine-Tails and finally cooperated with the Fourth Hokage to seal it away.

With such a record and achievements, coupled with Konoha's constant promotion, one can imagine just how high his reputation had reached!

Almost everyone talks about them; you can hear their names everywhere you go.

Even many members of the Uchiha clan are asked about these two people by people who don't usually dare to talk to them.

The Uchiha clan members were naturally patient and would tell the story to anyone who asked.

After all, the haori displayed the strongest power belonging to the Uchiha clan!

"Damn it, that old senile Hiruzen, how could he do such a thing?"

In an underground laboratory in Konoha, Danzo stared at the report in his hand with eyes blazing with fury.

Although he had a premonition that Konoha would truthfully publicize and report the Nine-Tails incident in order to cover up issues such as the Nine-Tails' release.

After all, to overwhelm a negative opinion, one must either have an even more negative opinion or a positive one.

Shifting attention can help people stop dwelling on current problems.

However, the current propaganda efforts are simply too great, so great that Danzo is already feeling uneasy!

Whether it was for his research on Wood Release or his teacher's teachings, he always believed that the Uchiha were Konoha's biggest problem.

He didn't visit the Third Generation for the past month because his injuries were quite severe, and he always felt uneasy being alone.

Therefore, he had been waiting for Ryoma Aburame to recover, and now he felt that he was almost able to move around again.

"We must stop this! We absolutely cannot let everyone be talking about these Uchiha!"

Danzo's gaze darkened, and then he stood up and spoke to Ryoma Aburame beside him.

"Prepare to pass on the message I assigned to you. Although we are short-handed now, we can still use some of our informants from before."

In addition, find out Uchiha Shisui's movements and have Uchiha Itachi on standby so he can go with me to see Uchiha Shisui.

"Yes, sir."

Ryoma Aburame's face was a little pale, but he immediately nodded to show that he understood.

He firmly believed that Danzo's beliefs were correct, and he never thought of leaving Root, even though there were only a dozen or so people in Root now.

With a slight movement of chakra, Ryoma Aburame vanished from his spot, while Danzo stood up at the same time.

"Hiruzen, I will definitely correct these mistakes!"

-

"It seems that everything is going well."

Inside the Hokage's office, Minato looked at the report in his hand and smiled as he spoke to the Third Hokage beside him.

"Yeah, it's actually pretty good."

The Third Hokage pursed his lips, but in his heart he was thinking, "Minato is too carefree, isn't he?"

Even though he agreed to promote Yuzhi and the others' achievements as normal, after all, Yuzhi's performance this time was truly outstanding.

But now everyone is almost only familiar with Yuri and has forgotten about you, the proper Hokage. Is that really a good thing?

After thinking it over, the third generation decided to give him a reminder.

"However, Minato, everything should be done in moderation. After all, you contributed a lot to this operation, and everyone should know that."

"What power did I calculate, Hokage-sama?"

Minato paused for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled and shook his head.

"If I hadn't been careless, Kushina probably wouldn't have faced such a crisis, Lord Biwako too."

At this point, Minato couldn't continue, and the Third Hokage also fell silent.

Although so much time has passed, some things are not so easy to forget.

After a long while, the third generation sighed, perhaps because mentioning Lake Biwa reminded him of his son.

The day after the Nine-Tails' Night, Asuma became unusually depressed after learning the news.

It was also that kid Yuzhi who organized his classmates to pull Asuma out and give him a good comforting.

Although such gatherings couldn't change anything, they did improve Asma's mood, which made him feel much better.

"Minato's judgment was correct; Haori does indeed possess the Will of Fire."

Having thought this through, the Third Hokage decided to stop worrying about it.

Anyway, Yuri is still young, and Minato is the Hokage, so many things won't change for the time being.

"By the way, Third Hokage, have you read the proposal that Haori submitted?"

Just as the Third Hokage was pondering, Minato suddenly looked at him curiously.

"I've seen it. It's a very detailed plan, but this kid is certainly ambitious."

The Third Hokage pursed his lips. It was because he had read this plan that he felt Minato was going too far in continuing his propaganda.

The plan detailed Konoha into several regions, with a branch of the police department set up in each region.

At the same time, these areas are further divided into districts, streets, etc., and police stations are set up in them.

The benefits of doing this are obvious: it allows the police department's influence and functions to extend to all parts of Konoha.

But the Third Hokage was the one who had served as Hokage. He could tell at a glance that this was an attempt to infiltrate and implement the power of the police department into every corner of Konoha!

And all of this is actually entirely within the scope of the police department's functions!

For a moment, even the Third Hokage wanted to curse his teacher for giving the Uchiha clan such a monstrous organization.

At the same time, I was also thinking that it would be better if the Uchiha were still a bunch of extreme psychopaths, at least they wouldn't use the police department.

But after thinking it over, it's probably better to keep it more normal for three pairs of kaleidoscopes.

Konoha does have ways to deal with the three Mangekyou Sharingan, but the cost is too high, and the ninja world will be unstable. Taking action would truly result in mutual destruction.

The Third Hokage wouldn't allow Konoha to have any problems, especially now that the situation inside Konoha is great while the outside world remains chaotic.

"How does he plan to assign the team leaders of those branches, as well as the team leaders of each district and street?"

After a long while, the third generation finally spoke with a long face.

"The 'Haori Project' document stated that everyone would be involved."

Minato smiled; he certainly understood the Third Hokage's thoughts.

"They also want us to supervise them and cooperate with them in forming a disciplined force, which would make management easier."

It's better to be a normal person.

In an instant, the Third Hokage cast aside his previous inappropriate thoughts and nodded.

"Then let him handle it. Also, his legal department needs to elect someone. Does he have any nominations?"

"Yes, there are, but not a single Uchiha member."

"This kid really threw out all the dirty and hard work."

Upon hearing Minato's words, the Third Hokage immediately laughed and cursed.

However, this is still about dividing the cake; someone will always get a piece of it, and with such a large movement as the haori, a lot of cake can be divided up.

In this way, everyone can get what they want, which isn't a bad thing for Konoha.

"But I'll remind him that civilian ninjas are the foundation of Konoha, and I think he'll understand."

"The Third Hokage has nominated commoner ninjas for all the positions in the Hagoromo, which shows that he values ​​everyone in Konoha."

Minato replied with a smile, then sighed.

"Haori has always been very smart and reliable. Moreover, he can see the current crisis in Konoha. He is truly a rare talent."

"Sometimes being indecisive is not a good thing."

The Third Hokage nodded, and Kakashi and the others told them about Haori's assessment of the situation in Konoha.

Those judgments were not much different from what they had discussed in their previous meetings, which made them admire Yuzhi's vision and intelligence.

However, Yuri has not yet formally proposed to serve as the head of the police department, which seems to indicate that she is somewhat hesitant.

The Third Hokage felt he had made himself clear last time that you should take on some responsibilities and assume the roles of Police Minister and Uchiha Clan Chief.

But there's still no news, which is making Minato and the Third Hokage feel somewhat frustrated.

"Perhaps, Haori has some other concerns?"

Minato Inui chuckled and then replied.

"Who knows him?"

The Third Hokage pursed his lips. Given the current state of the police department, even if Konoha appointed someone else as the head of the police department, it wouldn't be possible.

In the end, in such a powerful institution, the position of minister was still vacant.

"Hokage-sama!"

Just as the two were annotating documents and chatting, a secret agent suddenly rushed in.

"What's wrong?"

Minato frowned and immediately stood up. The attack on Konoha had already made him somewhat wary.

"Hokage, some unpleasant rumors have surfaced within Konoha."

The ANBU member seemed somewhat lost. He lowered his head and immediately handed a letter to Minato.

"This is."

Minato frowned, opened the envelope, and the Third Hokage peeked over.

The next moment, both of their expressions changed drastically, because the contents written inside the envelope were so vicious—

The Fourth Hokage failed to protect his Jinchūriki, leading to an attack that allowed the Nine-Tails to emerge.

Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was the wife of the Fourth Hokage. He knowingly did this while the Jinchuriki was at their weakest during childbirth; he is utterly unfit to be Hokage.

"Why does the wind seem to have shifted in Konoha lately?"

As evening approached, Hikaru sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs, and looked at Haori beside her with a puzzled expression, asking her a question.

Recently, some rumors seem to have surfaced in Konoha that are very detrimental to the Fourth Hokage.

No one knows when these rumors started; it's as if everyone started talking about them overnight.

Guang had been dragged out to play by Lin these past few days, so she naturally heard about these things, which made her a little puzzled.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy because everyone's stopped talking about you?"

Yuri sat on the floor with her back against the bed, glanced at Hikaru's gently swaying legs, and then looked up and asked with a smile.

"You bastard."

Hearing this almost made her roll her eyes. Although being recognized by everyone is indeed a very happy thing, she doesn't like being talked about.

"Aren't you always been very smart? Do you even know what happened?"

"I can probably guess that it was done by some arrogant guy who's had his Naruto syndrome acted up again."

Yuri tilted her head back and rested it on the bed before slowly speaking.

"In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, he is the most unreliable, and he is the most likely to do such a thing."

This guy is Danzo, or rather, I wouldn't be surprised if Danzo did anything.

All I can feel is that this guy is digging his own grave deeper and deeper.

Danzo's reckless actions were truly unexpected by Hagoromo, yet everything was also within reason.

This is how this guy tricked Orochimaru back then. Now that he sees an opportunity with Minato, how could he possibly let it slip by?

He seemed never to have considered one thing: even if the Nara clan were to become Hokage, it wouldn't be his turn!

"Danzo?"

After thinking for a moment, she realized that she didn't seem to remember such a person, so she gave up on thinking about it.

"By the way, I heard that Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) has already replied. Aren't you going to deal with it?"

"Hidden Mist? Oh, they sell weapons, huh?"

Yuzhi thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he had previously asked Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Shu to contact the Kaguya clan.

As it turned out, this matter took so long, and only now has there been a relatively clear response from them.

However, this is also good, as the most troublesome Nine-Tails incident in Konoha has been dealt with, and Yugi has won a great victory in a recent operation.

Secondly, the reform of the police department is almost complete, and all that remains is to recruit and train personnel.

As for Yunyin's attitude and what decision they will make, it is not something we can know at this time.

After all, Konoha was so weak in the original story, and they waited for three years.

With me involved this time, it's questionable whether they'll cause trouble.

During this lull, Yuzhi could easily go to the Land of Water to earn some side quests, allowing her to improve herself more comprehensively.

"It's a pity I don't know where Hiruko is, otherwise I would have gone to find him directly!"

In the original story, Hiruko appears in the Land of Grass, but he may not be there now.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Yuzhi decided to put it aside for the time being, as there was still a lot to be gained from the Land of Water.

Not to mention that it is somewhat similar to the Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, and Senju clans, and its effect is entirely on the body rather than chakra fusion.

Even the Shikotsukami Pulse, which Kaguya Otsutsuki used, is located in the Land of Water, along with other techniques like Ice Release, Scorch Release, and Boil Release.

There are many bloodline limits in Kirigakure, and their secret techniques are endless. If you can make some money from a side quest, you can't go wrong!

"Besides, I have the Flying Thunder God Technique. If I can't beat you, I can run away. But let's wait and see, and then we'll make our move when the opportunity arises."

Yuzhi thought to himself with a happy smile, and his head tilted slightly as he rested it on Hikaru's thigh.

Hikaru frowned and tilted her head. She glared at Hagoromo but found it was no use, so she could only purse her lips and stop looking at him.

"But this rude guy kept glancing at my feet. Could he be that perverted?"

-

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll take my leave now."

Goodbye, Captain!

Late at night, in Konoha Village, Shisui parted ways with his teammates with a smile after completing his night patrol.

He was really happy during this time, and he was naturally pleased with the praise he received from everyone in the police department.

After all, he's a member of the police department!

Despite the high popularity of Haori and Hikari, he felt no jealousy whatsoever, even though he also possessed the Kaleidoscope.

"After all, I didn't do anything. Compared to those two seniors, what am I?"

Moreover, during this month, Shisui would often visit Yuori, and Yuori would frequently teach him things, which benefited him greatly.

However, he also had some complaints in his heart, namely why the construction period of the new house was so long, it was a disgrace to the family to have the two elders living there!

"Besides, these two seniors are well past their prime, and their relationship is so close, why aren't they engaged yet?"

Zhi Shui thought to himself happily that he should remind him from time to time.

After all, Yuzhi will inevitably become the clan leader in the future. How can a clan leader not have a wife? And how can the clan leader's wife be bad?

Ying-senpai is obviously the most suitable, and their child will surely be a new genius of the Uchiha clan in the future, able to support the whole family!

"Um?"

As he walked, Zhishui suddenly frowned slightly. He glanced around and then immediately composed himself and said in a low voice.

"Come out! Who are you, and why are you following me?"

Uchiha Shisui

Just then, a voice suddenly appeared from the dark shadows.

"As one of the three great Mangekyou Sharingan users of the Uchiha clan, you have not received any praise, flowers, or applause."

Even though you've done so much, you're still just a lowly captain in the police department. Are you satisfied with all of this?

Everything you achieved was made possible by someone's shameless apologies, but you ended up with nothing, and nobody remembers you.

Is this the result you wanted?

Upon hearing these words, Shisui's brows furrowed even deeper, and a surge of anger rose within him.

That's really low-level. Are you trying to sow discord?

Judging from your expression, you seem unwilling, but that's normal; after all, who could tolerate that?

The owner of that voice could see the change in Shisui's expression, so he continued to speak.

But before he could finish speaking, Shisui suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and spoke in a cold voice, mimicking either Hikari or Haori.

"Shut up, you rat hiding in the shadows, where did you come from, you lunatic?"

"."
