Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

"It has nothing to do with Orochimaru. It's a man who claims to be Uchiha Madara. Kabuto, you explain this to Tsunade-senpai."

Information regarding 'Uchiha Madara'

To this day, it remains a secret of Konoha and Kirigakure. Apart from the village's upper echelons and relevant personnel, no one has been informed about 'Uchiha Madara'. Tsunade, by all accounts, should have been absolutely qualified to know these things, but unfortunately, she has been wandering outside and unwilling to have much contact with the village, so she only learned about these things now.

With Yakushi Kabuto's concise and clear explanation,

Tsunade quickly realized the danger posed by this guy who claimed to be Madara Uchiha.

"Sharingan, Wood Release, Space-Time Techniques... Sogen, are you sure you're not joking?" Tsunade's attitude had improved considerably by now, at least she didn't add "kid" to Sogen's name like before.

"If I could, I would hope this was just a bad joke."

Zongxian shrugged. "But unfortunately, that's reality. Don't think it's impossible. I think you understand, Tsunade-senpai. Sometimes reality is more absurd than manga. Nothing is impossible. Maybe we're even descendants of aliens!"

"Ah!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.

Descendants of aliens?

These young people are truly something else! Their imaginations are incredibly rich. The Uchiha and Senju clans are descendants of aliens... They really dare to dream!

but--

Reality is often even more absurd than reality.

She agreed with that statement.

Uchiha Sogen had no reason to deceive her with such a thing; there would be no benefit in lying to her. Besides, regarding the Nine-Tails' attack... although she hadn't personally experienced that night, a man like the Fourth Hokage shouldn't have sacrificed himself so easily!

Tailed beasts are natural disasters that ordinary ninjas cannot overcome.

But for that man who called himself Yellow Flash, he shouldn't have ended up like that.

unless,

There are even more hidden reasons behind this.

"So what are you going to do? Just wait here?" Tsunade asked calmly.

In the original timeline, Jiraiya recommended Tsunade to succeed him as the Fifth Hokage, not entirely because he himself was unwilling to take on such a troublesome task, nor entirely because of Tsunade's status as the granddaughter of the First Hokage, but because Tsunade was the most suitable person among the three of them to succeed him as Hokage.

Tsunade appears to have a bad temper and is prone to resorting to physical violence.

Well, that is indeed the case.

However, this does not prevent her from having excellent command skills and strategic vision. It was the medical ninja system she built that helped Konoha survive the Third Shinobi World War. Without the support of medical ninjas, which greatly reduced the casualty rate, to be honest, the other four great ninja villages would have worn Konoha down by using attrition warfare.

"This is called observing the situation calmly."

Zongxian said.

At this time,

A series of knocking sounds came from the window.

With its glossy black feathers, it was clearly a domesticated crow perched on the windowsill, pecking at the glass with its beak.

Stop the water flow?

Zongxian opened the window.

The crow took flight, circled the window once, then spread its wings again, waving its claws and emitting a series of piercing cries towards the southeast.

"Is Shisui still in the barrier class? Is he facing a powerful enemy over there and fighting?"

Zongxian doesn't understand bird language.

Crows can't speak human language either.

However, the crows raised by Shisui were extremely intelligent. Under Shisui's training, they could express corresponding meanings through actions and cries. Zongxian also understood Shisui's training courses and could read the meanings expressed by the crows. From this, he deduced that Shisui was entangled with a powerful enemy near the barrier.

“Tsunade-senpai, look… the variable has arrived! An enemy that Shisui cannot defeat quickly is no ordinary Jonin. Shisui has already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. You can’t fight him without some tricks up your sleeve.” Zongxian raised his hand and a crow obediently flew down and landed on his arm.

"Instantaneous movement and still water?"

Tsunade knew this name.

He is a young master of the Uchiha clan who is on par with the Hokage's assistant. For such a master to run into trouble... it seems that Uchiha Munegen's worries were not in vain. Hiruko really does have an accomplice!

after all,

Honestly, those monsters alone couldn't possibly be a match for an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Kabuto, go and find Inoichi and ask him to help you figure out who Shisui is fighting," Sogen said. However, he already had a vague premonition in his heart. There were very few enemies in the entire ninja world who could make Shisui, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, unable to even spare a hand to write a small note.

Only enemies who also possess the art of space-time...

Only then can we prevent Shisui from winning quickly.

but,

Ultimately, this is just his speculation, and it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate. It's best to ask Yamanaka Inoichi to help verify it before making a decision.

"Finally cleaned up! Whew! I'm so exhausted! Hotaru, can I borrow your shoulder?" Teng Hua gasped for breath, leaning on Hotaru to keep from collapsing on the roof. Fortunately, their hard work paid off, as the strange birds in the vicinity had been completely cleared away.

The view of the sky was unobstructed when looking up.

"Wisteria, don't lean all the way over here! I can't stand up much longer either."

Hotaru pushed the vines that were practically crawling all over her, but unfortunately, she was also exhausted. Their bodies were not fully developed and their chakra levels were far from their peak. Except for a few individuals, they were all so tired that they were about to collapse.

A pair of slender, pale hands reached out.

They helped the wisteria and the firefly.

"Alright, you two, quiet down. Take a breath if you're tired, and stop wasting your energy arguing." Yakumo scolded her two friends. She was one of those "others," a genius who awakened her bloodline limit only once every few generations in the Kurama clan. She was born with a vast amount of spiritual energy that was enough to put a heavy burden on her body.

She has fought until now.

I didn't feel tired at all.

Okay~~

Yes~~

These two are really exhausted.

The exhaustion from the excessive consumption of chakra left them with no strength to speak. With Yakumo's help, they came down from the roof and sat down on a bench by the roadside. Sasuke also leaned against the other end of the bench, his head hanging down, looking as weak and listless as a drowning dog.

To conserve his chakra, he opted for close combat. While the chakra expenditure wasn't significant, his body was so exhausted that even lifting his fingers felt weak and sore. He was drenched in sweat, and calling him a drowning dog wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Little ones, you've worked hard."

The one speaking was one of the two Chunin who had told Naruto and the others to run away and take refuge. His expression was quite complicated; he was completely outshone by the kids who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet. He would never have believed such a thing before.

But faced with the facts firsthand...

One can only admit that the ninja world is indeed an extremely unfair world, and the ultimate principle of this world is the theory of bloodline.

"Hehe! It's nothing, it's just what we should do."

Naruto replied with a grin that, like Yakumo, he was one of those people who created so many shadow clones and used the secret technique of Super Beast Imitation Drawing, which consumed so much chakra that Sasuke felt he couldn't even squeeze himself dry.

But after the battle, Naruto was perfectly fine, jumping around like nothing had happened.

The two Chunin's expressions became even more complicated. Looking at Naruto's radiant smile, they recalled their past fear and discrimination against the 'Demon Fox,' and a feeling called "shame" began to quietly take root at that moment.

They looked at each other hesitantly, unsure whether to apologize...

"careful!"

Naruto suddenly roared.

He reached out and pulled the two Chunin standing in front of him down, looking rather disheveled, to dodge the huge wind blade that swept across from behind. The wind blade passed over the bench and headed behind it. Behind the bench were towering cherry trees planted on the grass.

This towering cherry tree, whose history is unknown, has now brought its life to an end.

The cherry tree was cut in half.

The dense, green canopy and the upper half of the trunk fell backward due to inertia.

Who are you?

Yakumo stared ahead. At the intersection where several Konoha ninjas had been standing, a man holding a tin staff and wearing a straw hat, who looked like a wandering monk, had appeared. At his feet and behind him lay the chunin and genin who had come to provide support but had not been of any use.

No, wait, there also seems to be an ANBU member wearing an animal mask lying on the ground!!!

The alarm bells in my mind instantly went off at their highest level.

Even the secret agents were easily defeated; the enemy before them was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"You, you... and Ma!!!"

Ying, who was sitting on the bench, struggled and let out a roar with all her might.

Her eyes were wide open.

He stared intently at the horse.

If she hadn't been so exhausted, she would definitely have charged up to avenge her grandfather!

"Oh my! Isn't this the granddaughter of En no Gyōshō? It's been a few years since I last saw her, and she's grown into a beautiful young lady! I'm sure En no Gyōshō would be very pleased to see you like this now!" Kazuma said with a smile, his friendly tone making it sound as if he and En no Gyōshō were close friends despite their age difference.

This undoubtedly further enraged Ying.

He had mentioned her grandfather twice, and the anger in her chest had reached an unbearable level. The sudden increase in her mental strength allowed her to forcibly gather some strength, struggle to take out the soldier's ration pill from her pocket, chew it up and swallow it.

"firefly!"

The wisteria next to it called out.

Taking soldier pills isn't necessarily a bad thing; ninjas don't care about the damage they cause to their bodies. But to think that taking soldier pills will allow them to fight such dangerous enemies is undoubtedly foolish!

"Sit down."

Yakumo reached out and pressed Hotaru, who was trying to stand up, back down.

In that instant,

They started fighting with Ma.
