Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 95 A Brand New Side Story (10,000 words)

"Who are you?"

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing figure, Danzo and Orochimaru instantly became alert.

They both stared intently at the person in front of them, and in an instant, some information suddenly appeared in their minds.

More than a month ago, during the Nine-Tails incident, two people attacked Konoha.

One is a person with strange eyes who came to take revenge on Danzo, and the other is a person with Sharingan, space-time jutsu and wood release!

Even if neither of them attended any meetings, they were still high-ranking members of Konoha and could still obtain information.

Is this guy here to see me?

Are they here to see Danzo again?

Orochimaru and Danzo had similar thoughts at the same time. The next moment, Danzo took a step closer to Orochimaru, while Orochimaru astutely took a step back.

But no matter what they did, the two of them tacitly adopted an offensive stance, indicating that this guy in front of them was clearly not easy to deal with.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions in contacting you."

Obito naturally noticed their wariness, and he shook his head, speaking in a hoarse and aged voice.

"I suppose you all know me. If I really want to do something, you probably won't be able to resist."

Obito wouldn't dare say such a thing to Haori and Hikaru, or even to Minato Namikaze.

However, when he spoke these words to someone who had never fought him and did not know his true strength, he was full of confidence!

"Who are you, and what is your purpose?"

Danzo and Orochimaru exchanged a subtle glance, neither of them mentioning their earlier little action. Then Danzo asked in a low voice.

"I am but a forgotten man, and my name is merely a label."

Obito knew that Danzo knew about Madara Uchiha, but this time he didn't pretend.

"I've come here this time to seek cooperation with you."

Cooperation?

Danzo and Orochimaru both frowned upon hearing these words, and for some reason, the same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

Is this person mentally ill?

They attacked Konoha and then came to ask for cooperation. What do they take them for?

"I know you don't trust me, after all, I just attacked Konoha."

Obito noticed that the two men were still staring at him warily, and for some reason, their gazes reminded him of the woman beside Haori.

This almost made him lose his temper, but he was still able to control his emotions and continue speaking.

"However, I did that because of a commission I had received. Now that the mission has failed, I have nothing to do with him anymore."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru glanced at Danzo beside him again, his eyes seeming to say, "So it was you who lured the Japanese here."

Danzo looked gloomy. These words seemed to have shifted all the blame onto him. How could Danzo accept that?

He didn't trust Obito, but at this moment he also had to think about how to deal with Obito.

"Hmph, all this talk is pointless. What exactly is your purpose?"

Danzo asked in a cold voice.

"Furthermore, since you want to cooperate, why not show some sincerity and take off your ridiculous mask?"

"You're not qualified to look at my face."

Obito spoke with practiced ease.

"My reason for seeking your cooperation is simple: I need someone to support me and help me destroy the Uchiha clan!"

Destroy the Uchiha?

Upon hearing these words, Danzo's expression shifted slightly, while Orochimaru's gaze became particularly amused.

They both realized one thing: this guy probably got a terrible lesson from the two Mangekyou Sharingan users of the Uchiha clan that night when the Nine-Tails appeared.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone deep into Konoha, gone crazy to find those two, and come to discuss some kind of cooperation.

"Aren't you a member of the Uchiha clan yourself? Why are you doing this?"

Orochimaru licked his lips and looked at Obito with a deep gaze before speaking.

"Besides, I remember you fought the Fourth Hokage on the night of the Nine-Tails, it's just a pity..."

Orochimaru's words instantly darkened Obito's face beneath his mask; losing to Minato Namikaze was an absolute disgrace to him.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, as both Danzo and Orochimaru were high-ranking officials in Konoha.

"I lost, or rather, my previous actions went too smoothly, which made me underestimate this kid."

Obito seemed to show no change in emotion, but he was still somewhat unwilling to admit his defeat.

But his words still seemed convincing, after all, killing Biwako and releasing the Nine-Tails in front of the Fourth Hokage was something that ordinary people could not do.

"How would you like to collaborate?"

Danzo had been pondering something, and only now, seemingly having made up his mind, did he speak up and ask.

"Furthermore, cooperation requires sincerity. What kind of sincerity are you prepared to offer?"

"So what do you want?"

Obito tilted his head back and asked naturally.

"I need the Sharingan, can you provide it? I need information on the guy who attacked me, can you provide that?"

Danzo looked at Obito with a cold gaze, and then bluntly stated his demands.

Danzo could not trust Obito, and absolutely could not trust Obito, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t make use of Obito!

Danzo had already considered that this guy seemed to have attacked Uchiha Haori repeatedly, and he was filled with anger towards that brat Haori and even the Uchiha clan.

Using this guy to quell the unrest within Konoha is tantamount to letting them fight amongst themselves; all I need to do is provide intelligence.

Secondly, Danzo truly had no Sharingan left, so he needed to obtain some materials for Orochimaru to experiment on in order to address his immediate crisis.

Finally, Danzo was also considering cooperating with this guy in order to obtain information about Yahiko and to investigate this guy's information!

Whether it's to settle personal scores or for the sake of Konoha, he has to deal with these people.

After all, Konoha is his Konoha, and he will inevitably become the Hokage in the future. He will not let go of anyone who poses a threat to Konoha, whether they are inside or outside the village!

Danzo has already included Obito in his list of those who must be eliminated.

After pondering for a long time, Obito said, "I can provide you with some Sharingan and information, but it must be afterward."

"Why?" Danzo asked, frowning.

"That person is, after all, someone I entrusted with this matter. I cannot tell you the specific details, and besides, don't you already know some of it?"

Obito spoke coldly, not wanting to talk to Danzo any further, as he didn't trust Danzo at all.

"Moreover, cooperation is a two-way street; if you want me to make contributions, you also have to give something in return."

How do you plan to deal with Orochimaru, who's always around you, and how will you handle the Uchiha clan?

"Orochimaru is trustworthy; he's on my side."

Danzo glanced at Orochimaru beside him and immediately gave his answer.

Right now, he and Orochimaru are the only true allies in Konoha, so he would never do anything foolish, especially since he can't defeat them anyway.

"As for the Uchiha, I will collect information on them and give it to you, and I will also cooperate with you in doing certain things."

Is that enough?

"Can."

Obito pondered for a moment, then nodded. Things had to be done step by step; he wasn't in a hurry.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Hmph, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Danzo snorted coldly and responded with a reply.

There was absolutely no trust between the two of them, and they were probably even thinking about how to kill each other.

However, Orochimaru tilted his head and looked at Obito, his eyes beginning to flicker slightly.

"Although the aura on this guy is weak, it is definitely Hashirama Senju's cells!"

Judging from his tone, he's from the Uchiha clan, and previous intelligence indicated he could use Wood Release, plus the current contact...

As expected, my research direction was not wrong at all; the Sharingan can form a perfect balance with the power of Wood Release!

even"

Orochimaru lowered his head slightly, and couldn't help but lick his lips.

"In fact, judging from this guy's current situation, these two powers could be fused even better."

Does it require the body of an Uchiha or Senju as a vessel? This world is so interesting.

-

"How does it feel?"

"Excellent, this improvement is even beyond our expectations."

Inside the Uchiha hut, Hikaru, after briefly sensing the changes within herself in response to Hagoromo's question, smiled and said...

However, instead of sitting on the edge of the bed swinging her legs as usual, she tucked her legs together behind her, while Yuri sat on the edge of the bed as always.

Upon hearing Hikari's words, Haori nodded slightly. The improvement brought about by the injected solvent this time was indeed significant.

Even someone like him, whose bloodline is constantly evolving, has gained extraordinary benefits!

Although such enhancements are primarily concentrated on the body, the body belongs to Yang Release, and it is also an important carrier of chakra.

It's easy to imagine how much this will affect his combat abilities!

Moreover, the negative effects of this absorption did not last long, as their bodies had already adapted to this power.

"Unfortunately, it's completely used up, but the body hasn't reached its full potential."

Yuri touched her chin, thinking with a slight sense of regret.

"What are you thinking about?"

Guang simply lay down on her side, tilted her head, and propped herself up with one hand as she spoke, showing that she was extremely relaxed.

"Still wondering where to get more of these things?"

"Yeah, we need to keep going, and we might have forgotten about that kid Shisui."

Yuzhi nodded, and then he smiled and said.

"Therefore, our demand will be substantial, and we need to consider this carefully."

Although Yuri and Hikari are basically in the later stages, because they are not yet saturated, no one knows how much more dosage is needed to complete the process.

In particular, the situation regarding haori has changed slightly.

[Glorious Evolution Activated]

[You can choose from three basic enhancements: Physical, Mental, and Chakra]

[Number of evolution attempts: 1]

[Remaining Evolution Attempts: 2]

[Evolutionary path chosen - Chakra]

The three basic evolutionary paths all left Yuzhi feeling conflicted, because each of them was suitable for him.

Fortunately, he could evolve through all three of them, so he simply chose an option that he didn't value as much—chakra.

In terms of mental health, his main concern is that the sudden enhancement of his potential will prevent him from reaching the Eternal Eye faster. Even if he has to choose, he will choose after he has reached the Eternal Eye.

As for his physical condition, he hasn't even reached saturation yet, and he feels it's better to make a choice after he reaches saturation.

As for chakra, there aren't as many options. Whether the quality or quantity of chakra is enhanced, it can be replenished and compensated for relatively quickly.

"But I overlooked one thing: chakra is connected to both physical and mental strength."

Chakra is the product of the fusion of physical and mental strength, and its enhancement naturally leads to the enhancement of both of these aspects!

Although the enhancement rate wasn't particularly high, the effect was very noticeable, and just as he had expected.

"This kind of improvement is not just about enhancing current abilities, but about unlocking current potential."

Yu Zhi is now truly grateful that he didn't rush into choosing 'Spirit,' otherwise he would have really cried.

Now that his physical potential has been boosted by the increase in chakra, his need for White Zetsu cells has increased once again.

Moreover, he really needed to consider the issue of stopping the water flow, so "procuring supplies" was naturally imperative.

"That kid Shisui seems a bit silly."

Hikaru was unaware of the many thoughts flashing through Haori's mind. She tilted her head, thought of Shisui, and shook her head.

"He actually told the two of us about his eye technique. Doesn't he know that some things shouldn't be said casually?"

However, his pupil technique was truly frightening; the effect was incredibly terrifying.

"They're really impressive, but they're also really naive and simple-minded."

Haori turned to look at Hikari, but couldn't help but start complaining in her mind.

That's because you haven't seen his performance in the original work; it's not something that can be explained simply as stupidity.

The ability of Kotoamatsukami to silently rewrite the will of others is such that once it is revealed and known to someone who does not trust him, his fate is already sealed.

In the original story, the Uchiha clan was already planning to become rebels, and everyone knew it. Yet you said it in front of the Third Hokage and Danzo.

Even the Third Hokage couldn't hold back, let alone Danzo, a guy whose mind was full of Hokage. He wouldn't trust an Uchiha.

To put it bluntly, Shisui's death was entirely his own doing. Wouldn't it have been better if he had just quietly changed everything?

"But he seems to treat us like older brothers, trusting us so much, we can't do anything reckless."

As if she had thought of something, Hikari looked at Hagoromo and suddenly said softly.

"That's natural."

Yuzhi nodded, then realized something, which made him both amused and exasperated.

"Please, would I do anything to him just to transplant his pupil technique? What kind of person do you take me for?"

We've been together for so long, what have I ever done for you?

"Feel sorry."

Hearing this, she couldn't help but mutter a word, but her eyes swept over the haori.

You've been quite rude lately, and it's been happening more and more frequently.

"By the way, something you said just now seems a bit off?"

Suddenly, Yuzhi seemed to have thought of something.

"Um?"

Guang looked at him with some confusion.

"You just said that Shisui treats us like older brothers, but you're a girl. I heard that he was raised by Uchiha Hishin since he was little, is that true?"

"Shut up! You rude, evil Uchiha brat!"

-

"Haori-kun, why do you seem a little distracted?"

Inside the Hokage Building office, Minato Namikaze noticed that Hagoromo seemed a little distracted and couldn't help but ask her a question out of curiosity.

"I was just thinking about something else, Hokage-sama."

Haori snapped out of her daze, and then Inui smiled and offered an explanation.

You can't exactly say that you made a joke at home and then got kicked out.

Although he knew that the light's energy came and went quickly, it still made him somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, and he did need to concentrate on other things at the moment.

For example, reaching an agreement with Minato Namikaze to leave Kirigakure!

"You don't need to call me that in private, Hagoromo-kun. I told you that a long time ago."

Minato smiled and replied after hearing what Haori said.

"However, have you really thought this through regarding your desire to go to Kirigakure?"

I know you have extensive experience fighting against the Hidden Mist Village, but going to the Land of Water and staying in the Land of Whirlpools are two different things.

You'll have virtually no support there, and selling weapons shouldn't even require you to go there in person.

Minato still cared about Haori; no matter how he looked at it, Haori was the one who saved his whole family.

Minato has always been a grateful person, and with Hagoromo's strength, she is extremely important to Konoha. He doesn't want any problems to arise.

"Minato-senpai, this time it's not just about selling weapons."

Yuri knew what Minato meant, but for the sake of White Zetsu and the large amount of gold coins in the Land of Water, she had to go and see.

"Actually, I went there this time to investigate some things. Do you remember when I first met that mysterious guy?"

"A mysterious person?"

Upon hearing this, Minato's expression immediately turned serious.

"It's about peace negotiations between Konoha and Iwagakure in the Land of Grass... Kirigakure? You're doubting that?!"

Minato suddenly realized something, and he immediately stood up to think seriously, but after a while he shook his head again.

"This could be a coincidence, because many villages know about the peace talks between Konoha and Iwagakure, but Kirigakure..."

"But they came too quickly, and they were too well-prepared, weren't they?"

Yuzhi shook his head, and he also became serious.

"Moreover, the feeling I got from that encounter was that they were purposefully looking for a target before making their move."

It was not an action taken to undermine peace negotiations.

Minato remained silent for a moment. Although more than a year had passed, there were still many strange things about this incident.

In fact, Konoha had similar doubts from the beginning, and there had been discussions among the higher-ups.

However, because peace was hard-won, Konoha had suffered terribly during the years of war.

Moreover, the Hidden Mist Village had already withdrawn completely, and everyone was separated by the sea, making it difficult for Konoha to do anything they wanted. Therefore, they decided to let it go.

But looking back now, something really doesn't seem right!

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll find it even harder to agree to let you go, Hagoromo-kun."

Minato pondered for a long time. He had clearly agreed with Yuri's statement, but he shook his head more firmly.

"That guy's abilities are extremely strange, and given that he could previously mobilize the Anbu, the situation will probably be even worse if you go to Kirigakure now."

"Haori-kun, although you were able to defeat the Nine-Tails, don't underestimate the wisdom of ninjas. I don't want anything to happen to you!"

Upon hearing these words, Yuzhi couldn't help but purse her lips.

He knew perfectly well that Minato meant well, but he felt that the Fourth Hokage was still somewhat conservative.

He will definitely be careful in his actions, so he certainly won't go alone this time.

With help, he wasn't afraid of much, especially since he had a retreat plan.

"Minato-senpai, my apologies."

Yuki suddenly walked up to Minato and then smiled.

Before Minato could react, his hand landed on his shoulder, and the next moment his chakra suddenly erupted.

hum-

With a dizzying sensation and a feeling that space was being distorted, they were instantly out of the Hokage's office.

When they reappeared, they had arrived at the outer edge of Konoha Village, at a spot where Minato Namikaze had left his kunai!

"This is."

Minato stared blankly at the shifting space before him, then asked incredulously.

"Haori-kun, you've already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Um."

Yuzhi nodded, and he answered immediately.

"After almost a year, I've finally gotten the hang of it, and now I can use it relatively easily."

Minato was still a bit dazed. He had spent a year learning the Flying Thunder God Technique and had actually reached this level?

Back then, he had to endure immense hardship to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, as the second generation's technique was simply too difficult.

When Yuzhi chose this technique from the "Custom-made Book of Seals", he originally wanted to give her a heads-up.

To my utter surprise, others reached this level in just one year, and were even able to use his curse seal.

Fortunately, he didn't know that learning the Feathered Robe technique might have only taken him less than a month.

"That's incredible."

Minato seemed a little dazed, but he quickly recovered.

"Congratulations, Yui. But I need to confirm, what's the furthest distance you can reach with this technique?"

"It really depends on the chakra, but I don't have any problems with that."

After thinking for a moment, Yuri pointed in the direction of Sunagakure.

"At the farthest point, I can probably sense that Minato-senpai's mark is also at the southernmost tip of the Land of Wind."

"The southernmost point of the Land of Wind?"

After a moment's thought, Minato immediately recalled the kunai he had left behind when he sealed the dragon vein chakra.

If even a haori can sense something from such a great distance, then as long as she leaves a mark in the Land of Waves and the Land of Whirlpools...

Haori has enough chakra; she can definitely return easily!

Thinking about this, Minato felt a little more at ease.

He naturally wanted to find out the guy's identity. If he was really related to Kirigakure, then at least they had a clear direction!

Minato has never forgotten what that guy did.

"So, Minato-senpai, please rest assured. There were two people who attacked Konoha. One of them had contact with me twice, and I will naturally investigate the matter thoroughly."

Seeing Minato's expression, Hagoromo knew that the matter was not a big problem.

"As for the other one, I'm afraid Konoha will need to investigate him thoroughly. After all, everyone is unfamiliar with that guy, but according to the intelligence, he seems to be..."

"I came here for Danzo."

Minato's expression immediately turned sour upon hearing the mention of Danzo.

He would never forget what that arrogant guy said that night, nor would he forget how many ninjas in Konoha died because of him.

Moreover, this ungrateful guy even tried to attack Shisui after Shisui saved him.

He even heard that Uchiha Mikoto's children are now with him, which shows that this guy has a terrible track record!

"Perhaps we can follow this line of inquiry and investigate further to see what he has actually done."

Yuzhi immediately started stirring things up. Just because he wouldn't take action for the time being didn't mean he couldn't disgust Danzo.

If someone disgustingly comes to his door, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if he did nothing?

"Don't worry, I'll investigate Danzo thoroughly."

Minato nodded seriously.

"Furthermore, I will give Hagoromo-kun and Shisui-kun an explanation!"

-

Konoha, inside Orochimaru's underground experiment.

Danzo looked at the Sharingan eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

Orochimaru's eyes were also shining. Although there weren't many Sharingan here, they were definitely a batch of excellent experimental materials for him!

After all, it would be difficult for him to even get a few Sharingan eyes from Danzo now.

"That guy is actually quite trustworthy."

Orochimaru gently licked his lips and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"But who exactly is this guy? He has Sharingan, Wood Release, and even Space-Time Technique."

It's likely that she, like Uchiha Haori, has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. She's truly powerful and mysterious.

"Anyway, he's just an evil Uchiha."

Although Danzo's gaze was burning with desire, his voice remained chilling.

"If I didn't share the same goal as him, I would never have agreed to his request!"

Orochimaru shook his head upon hearing this. Was the same goal—to eliminate the Uchiha clan?

The Uchiha clan is currently moving closer to Konoha. If you try to eliminate them, wouldn't you be weakening Konoha's own strength?

Although Orochimaru no longer has the idea of ​​becoming Hokage and has even begun to establish his own presence in the Land of Rice Fields, his vision and thinking will not be affected in any way.

He saw many things clearly, and he naturally knew the village's current attitude and actions towards the Uchiha, as well as the meaning behind them.

But Danzo failed to see that if he took action, the village would inevitably abandon him.

Konoha would never sacrifice itself for Danzo, even if the Third Hokage were in power!

Moreover, did Danzo eliminate the Uchiha clan for Konoha's sake, or for the Sharingan he himself needed?

"Let's squeeze him dry as soon as possible and get rid of this arrogant guy."

Orochimaru thought disdainfully to himself, "I won't accompany Danzo in his quest for death, especially since he has a bigger goal."

"Although no experiments have been conducted yet, the fusion of the Uchiha and Senju clans seems to be much more interesting than we imagined."

That mysterious guy is the best example, it's a pity we don't have enough material, especially material from an Uchiha body, what a shame."

As Orochimaru pondered this, for some reason, the image of Itachi Uchiha appeared in his mind.

The next moment, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Once his "Resurrection" experiment is successful, and Danzo is dead, perhaps he can...

"Of course, that guy is untrustworthy."

Although his mind was filled with countless thoughts, Orochimaru seemed to have developed a subconscious way of dealing with Danzo.

"However, his appearance will still cause huge trouble. He might use it to threaten you in the future."

"Hmph, I will use what he provides to eliminate the Uchiha clan and take him with me at the same time."

Danzo glanced around at his surroundings before finally speaking in a low voice.

"Orochimaru, you now have the Sharingan, and I want to conduct experiments on it."

Orochimaru glanced at Danzo's empty arms and instinctively wanted to nod in agreement.

Although he has conducted the experiment several times, he has not yet put it on a human body.

He had expected it to begin by now, but Danzo had unexpectedly come to him. How could he possibly refuse?

But before he could speak, Danzo continued.

"I will give you everything you are entitled to, including experimental materials, funding, and other things."

However, I have one request: strive for the best!

"Okay, no problem."

Orochimaru was even stunned for a moment before immediately agreeing.

He hadn't originally planned to make any demands, but Danzo offered such good terms, how could he possibly refuse?

"Then it's up to you."

Danzo clenched his fist slightly and said in a low voice.

"Does Minato Namikaze, that lucky brat, really think he can ride on my head?"

And that mysterious, evil Uchiha, did he really think he could use me?

"Just wait, once I rebuild the Roots, I'll deal with you both slowly!"

Orochimaru, upon hearing these words, ultimately smiled without saying a word, but he seemed to be seeing Danzo's doom more and more clearly.

However, this is also good. Orochimaru felt that if it weren't for Danzo's funding, his current position as the Hokage's assistant and the fact that his own village hadn't been built yet, he would have been better off.

I'm afraid even he can't stand Danzo, that lunatic.

"But it's alright, I wonder what kind of effect two lunatics will have when they're together?"

At that moment, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips; a sudden sense of anticipation welled up within him.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Yuzhi looked at the rising mist around him and couldn't help but stretch.

After discussing the pros and cons with Minato Namikaze and demonstrating his Flying Thunder God Technique, Hagoromo prepared for a few days before setting off.

Konoha is still in a state of peace and prosperity. Although the Nine-Tails incident happened, the losses were minimal.

After all, that terrible night was only caused by the rescue of Danzo, which resulted in the deaths of a large number of ninjas.

In fact, the vast majority of them were Danzo's own people.

Such a loss is not a big problem for Konoha, but Danzo might not be having an easy time now.

Especially with Haori stirring things up, Danzo will only become more unlucky!

"Senior, according to the route map, we're almost there."

Just as Yuri was "gazing at the sea," Shisui suddenly came to his side and whispered something.

The kid seemed quite excited, and Kakashi was equally excited, curiously observing everything in front of him.

"It's good that we've arrived. After all, we've been at sea for so many days, it's been quite boring."

Yuzhi nodded casually and said with a smile, while Hikaru walked to his side and peered into the distance at the faintly visible island.

It was probably the first time he had seen a seascape, and he felt a sense of curiosity about everything around him.

To ensure her safety, Yuzhi will naturally bring enough people and supplies on this trip.

He didn't need to say anything; she had already calmed down and would naturally come along. In her heart, she wouldn't allow anything to happen to Yuzhi.

As for Shisui, after Uchiha Shin and Uchiha Shu revealed the matter to him, he immediately found Yuki and expressed his desire to come together.

If Yuzhi is leaving, she will naturally explain it at the clan meeting, since she will be gone for so many days and there is a lot of work to be arranged.

Although these two knew that Yuzhi was powerful, they absolutely did not want any problems to arise with this de facto clan leader, so they naturally informed Shisui.

Zhi Shui is currently undergoing new training, and he will soon be joining the clan council.

The same goes for Guang, but no one dared to train her; ultimately, she was different from Shisui.

Kakashi was chosen by Minato Namikaze. The four were part of a standard team, and Kakashi's outstanding abilities in all aspects made him a natural choice.

"Haori, we need to be careful once we get ashore."

Kakashi thought for a moment and then spoke up from the side.

"It would be best to do some camouflage or something. I'll have Parker and the others check the surrounding area in advance."

"Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi."

Yuzhi nodded, then asked curiously.

"I heard you're planning to join the Dark Division, is that true?"

Shisui looked over curiously upon hearing this, as the Dark Division was relatively unfamiliar to most people.

"Yes, I plan to join the Dark Division to learn some skills."

Kakashi nodded and spoke without any attempt to hide anything.

"After all, you said that in the future, there might be some chain reactions because of the Nine-Tails incident."

If you want to improve further, the Dark Division would be a good choice, and besides, going to the Dark Division is also an option.

Kakashi's voice trailed off at this point, but he couldn't help but inwardly complain.

Going to the Anbu would at least allow me to avoid Guy!

Kai had always wanted to challenge Yuzhi, but Yuzhi's previous performance had left a deep impression on everyone, making Kai feel that he would only get beaten up if he went, and it would be of no use.

Kakashi was a genius back then, so Guy's plan was to challenge Kakashi first and then Hagoromo.

After the Nine-Tails incident, Guy seemed to have been branded with a mental imprint, which left Kakashi with a difficult situation.

"So I'm just a backup plan, but don't be so eager."

Kakashi didn't care about Guy's thoughts; deep down, he also wanted to spar with Haori a few more times.

But Kai's enthusiasm was becoming too much for him to handle, so he decided that if he couldn't afford to offend him, he should just hide away.

The Dark Side is a great place.

"Why go to the Dark Division? Isn't the Police Department pretty good?"

Shisui didn't notice that Kakashi hadn't finished speaking; he tilted his head and began to speak.

"The police department is so popular now, and the plans formulated by our predecessors are starting to be implemented slowly."

I think that within a year, the branches, district management offices and street stations in various regions will be established.

We've already started recruiting. Kakashi-senpai, if you come, you could definitely become at least a company commander.

"Never mind, I think the Anbu is good enough."

Kakashi decisively shook his head. If he were in the police department, Guy would probably be chasing after him. Besides, he also needs to train with the Anbu now.

He took Yuri's advice and changed his fighting style, now using swordsmanship in conjunction with his Sharingan.

This allowed him to avoid consuming a lot of chakra, and Minato also taught him the Flying Thunder God Technique, which he needed to learn carefully.

Hiding in the shadows to avoid excessive disturbances, while still honing his skills through real combat, is indeed the best option for him.

"Lady Hagoromo, we're almost at the port."

Just as Yuzhi was watching Kakashi and the others chat, a middle-aged man walked up to him and whispered something.

The middle-aged man had a dark, weathered face, and his burly build made him look like an ordinary person who made a living by fishing and ferrying.

But in reality, this guy was an ANBU agent planted by Konoha in the Land of Water.

Every village has similar preparations, and Konoha is no exception.

"Are we almost there?"

Guang finally spoke, glancing around before speaking softly.

"This place is indeed very different from Konoha."

"Indeed, but this geographical environment also makes it easier for them to cause trouble."

Yuzhi shrugged and said, "To be honest, the geography of the Land of Water is actually quite similar to that of Daiying in my previous life."

Both of them have the sea as a natural barrier, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, they are skilled in water escape techniques.

This has resulted in them being the ones to take the initiative and launch vicious attacks to disgust others, while others find it difficult to attack their home base.

However, it seems that Kirigakure didn't quite understand Daiei's methods either; at least they didn't become qualified "troublemakers."

They only get involved briefly when there's a war in the ninja world; otherwise, they're relatively isolated.

"But this place contains countless treasures."

As Yuzhi thought to himself, his system interface appeared on his retina.

Looking at her three full side quests, Yuzhi thought to herself that staying in Konoha all this time hadn't really helped her improve much!

Three side quests appeared at once, how could Yuzhi not be happy?

As for the choice of mission, he has already made his decision.

He couldn't possibly help Obito, but Kirigakure couldn't live so comfortably either; he hadn't forgotten the grudge from the Land of Whirlpools.

"So, it's actually a good thing that Shisui came along; Kotoamatsukami now has a chance to use his skills."

As for reconciling with Obito, that's just a pipe dream. He wanted to reconcile, but Obito wasn't willing to!

As for the Kaguya clan, it would be best to squeeze them dry; these lunatics are no less mentally unstable than the Uchiha clan.

"Thank you for your hard work. We'll take our leave now."

After they reached the shore, Yuzhi nodded to the boatman, but at that moment Kakashi suddenly reached out a hand in a warning gesture.

This made Yuzhi and the others frown. Were they really that unlucky? They ran into people as soon as they got ashore?

Sure enough, not far away, Yuki saw a group of Kirigakure (hidden spirits) rapidly approaching them.

However, among this group of hidden figures, there was one person who made Yuzhi raise an eyebrow slightly.

"That guy...it looks like Zabuza."
