Uchiha's personal opinion

As for the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village, which were ninja villages with some strength but within easy reach, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't take them seriously.

Even in the early days of the pseudo-Third Hokage's rule, Konoha did not take these two ninja villages seriously, and had always regarded the other four ninja villages as common hypothetical enemies.

……

Covered in the stench of blood, the murderous Uchiha Itachi led his troops to surround the last spy stronghold.

During the clearing of the previous eleven spy dens, he strictly followed Uchiha Tokumitsu's orders. After verifying their identities, he did not conduct any unnecessary interrogations and killed them all on the spot. As for whether any other information was leaked or to what extent, Uchiha Shisui did not care.

As long as the relevant intelligence agents are all killed, it's better to cover it up than to let the people of Konoha panic.

In any case, the secrets of the Uchiha clan are all within the Governor-General's Office and the Shogunate, and the so-called secrets of Konoha Village have long lost their value.

"Jonin Shisui, the combat force and the sealing team are all ready."

The former ANBU veteran, now a squad leader in the Special Operations Bureau of the Police Department, appeared in a flash beside Uchiha Shisui and said.

"……it is good."

Uchiha Shisui snapped out of his daze and nodded slightly.

Since the siege of the Land of Swamp, Uchiha Shisui felt that there was something wrong with his Sharingan. He seemed to be sensitive to light, and he didn't know if it was because he had seen too many chakra explosions that his eyesight was not working properly.

Moreover, I don't know why I've been daydreaming these past few days, but I don't know what I'm thinking about in those moments of reverie.

"Let's carry out the clearing operation. Captain Elephant will lead the team this time..."

Uchiha Shisui waved his hand listlessly, looking somewhat bored, and said weakly.

"Ok."

Captain Elephant nodded and then began to direct his special operations ninjas.

After Uchiha Tokumitsu took over Konoha, the former Anbu ninjas who were recruited, especially those trained during the Second Hokage's reign, were very obedient. Unlike the remnants of the old era such as Sarutobi Shimura, who were always looking to cause a big stir, they all lived relatively well.

Although he's now relegated to the sidelines, at least his life isn't in danger, and he doesn't have to worry about disappearing one day. So Captain Xiang is living a relatively comfortable life.

Although Uchiha Shisui was a disciple of Uchiha Tokumitsu, he did not hold a specific position, and his previous experience of being sent out to other places was only a temporary appointment. Therefore, Captain Elephant did not pay too much attention to the trivial matters of etiquette.

After all, associating with the Uchiha clan and being associated with the special operations ninjas would have a bad influence; Uchiha Tokumitsu was already being magnanimous by not pursuing the old story of the former Anbu ninjas capturing Elder Setsuna. If someone didn't know what it meant to keep a low profile, they deserved to be found a reason to be killed.

"How about we go to Q BBQ for a meal tonight?"

Watching his subordinates take action, Xiang yawned listlessly, glanced at the absent-minded Uchiha Shisui, and whispered to his subordinates.

The benefits of being unemployed also include being able to show his face in public. Now, Elephant is beginning to enjoy the village's prosperity and convenience like an ordinary Konoha ninja.

His subordinate gestured towards Uchiha Shisui with his eyes, and Xiang shook his head slightly.

For him, self-preservation was the best solution, and there was no need to have any unnecessary contact with the Uchiha clan.

This intelligence outpost is a small trading company warehouse on the outskirts of the Land of Fire. It is said that the owner of this trading company is a descendant of a noble family from the Land of Wind. After Sunagakure raised its sword against the nobles, he escaped in time and, with the permission of the nobles of the Land of Fire, opened a trading company with his remaining wealth. His caravans have traveled all over Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, except for the Land of Wind.

Even someone with a brain could see that this was just a smokescreen.

The claim that they were descendants of nobles from the Land of Wind is also unverifiable, making it perfect for providing cover for spies.

However, since Uchiha Tokumitsu had ordered that the matter not be pursued, Xiang was happy to be a good person and did not want to get too involved.

"It would be good to kill them all!"

Watching the light from the ninja explosion in the trading post, Xiang muttered to himself.

It looks like everything is going very smoothly; those spies are practically helpless, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

Xiang glanced at his pocket watch, estimated the time it would take to finish, and then—

"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"

A high-pitched, comical scream rang out from inside the shop as several bundles of wooden vines shattered the fragile wall, sending several special ninjas flying!

Then, the special ninjas who had stormed into the trading company fled in a disheveled manner, and thick trees sprang up from the ground, instantly turning the trading company into a small forest.

The elephant's heart nearly stopped from fright!

"Wood Release..."

Aside from the Wood Release technique used by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to quell the chaos of the world, he couldn't think of any other ninjutsu that could have such an effect!

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui, who had been somewhat absent-minded, immediately came back to his senses and, without thinking, formed hand seals and unleashed a sea of ​​fire towards the suddenly appearing grove of trees!

"What are you still standing there for!"

After shooting kunai wrapped with explosive tags into the grove, Uchiha Shisui turned around and angrily rebuked.

"Ah! Yes!"

The elephant shuddered and came to its senses.

First, he gave orders to his subordinates, and then he took out a signal tube and fired three red signal flares into the sky.

The sea of ​​fire spewed by Uchiha Shisui did not cause much damage to the grove. The tree trunks that had been spurred by the ninjutsu only looked a little scorched, but there were no obvious signs of destruction.

That's right! It's Wood Release!

Even though Xiang had never witnessed the true power of Wood Release, the records of the Anbu were completely consistent with the current period!

How to do!

To fight or to flee!

Although the command rearranged the battle formation, Elephant's mind was blank at this moment, and he was only issuing commands based on muscle memory.

"Ouch!"

A pale-skinned humanoid creature dressed in the clothes of a merchant guild worker leaped to the top of the grove and cackled at the terrified special agents.

"This is……"

Uchiha Shisui also frowned.

Its skin was as pale as if it had been painted, its face was constantly changing into all sorts of bizarre expressions, and its eyes were glowing red, making it look extremely ferocious. It certainly didn't look like a normal person.

"Hey hey hey!"

The pale humanoid creature grinned as it stared at Uchiha Shisui. "So, there's another Uchiha. Looks like I'll have a pretty good haul!"

Uchiha Shisui didn't respond, but silently adjusted his chakra to its optimal state.

"You've disrupted my sharing plan, so..."

The pale, strange man bent down and cackled, "So, as compensation..."

"Turn into poop!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he instantly charged toward Uchiha Shisui.

"Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Slash!"

Although Uchiha Shisui was young, he had already gained the courage to draw his sword after experiencing several battles.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

The pale-faced monster, braving Uchiha Shisui's fiery sword aura, suddenly appeared in front of him and swung a long wooden spike at Uchiha Shisui's chest.

"boom!"

The long wooden spikes instantly turned Uchiha Shisui into a wisp of smoke.

It's a shadow clone!

Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and rallied his spirits to lead his troops into battle.

"Kill this scoundrel who stole bloodline!"

Xiang first defined the pale-faced monster with a single sentence, and then ordered his subordinates to charge forward.

Although he lacked confidence in dealing with Wood Release, if something happened to Uchiha Shisui, he, as a remnant of the old era, would not have a good time after returning to the village!

"Wood Release: Tree Spear!"

Facing multiple special agents ninjas, the pale-faced monster chuckled and swung out huge tree roots at the crowd!

"Spirit Summoning Technique: Triple Rashomon!"

Faced with the unknown Wood Release ninjutsu, the special operations ninja dared not be careless. Another squad leader immediately used his strongest defensive ninjutsu, summoning three Demon Gates to block the path of the tree root's attack.

"Wood Release: Tree Root Burial!"

The pale, strange man laughed again, and then the tree roots clinging to Rashomon suddenly swelled up—

"Get out!"

The elephant immediately shouted and then used its teleportation technique to escape backward.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Subsequently, the triple Rashomon gate was forcefully twisted by the tree roots and exploded into smoke!

The special operations ninjas felt a chill run down their spines.

I've seen plenty of ninjutsu that blow up Rashomon, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone actually pulverize Rashomon with physical force!

Hehehehe!

The pale-faced monster charged at the special operations ninja again, shouting, "Come on! Please me! Let's dance!"

"Earth Escape·Yellow Spring Marsh!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

The special ninja's ninjutsu rained down on them.

"Wood Release·Wooden Spindle Wall!"

The pale-faced monster clapped his hands together, immediately summoning a wooden pillar that bent backward, blocking all the attacking ninjutsu.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

"Uchiha Style: Instant Sword Slash!"

Uchiha Shisui first used Fire Release as cover, then used Body Flicker Technique to rush forward and attempt to decapitate his opponent with Iaijutsu!

"what!"
