Madara, let's change the world together!

"Lord Raikage, I heard that the head of the Hyuga clan gave birth to a baby girl last month."

"Perhaps we can obtain the Byakugan's bloodline through this method."

Chapter 262 The Hidden Clouds' Plan

"A baby girl?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Hokage, A, who often led the raids on other ninja villages, immediately understood what Tsuchikage meant.

"Wait a minute, this earthen platform is a bit too small."

"It's only a month old, its eyes haven't even fully developed yet."

Tsuchida also felt somewhat embarrassed; it was really beneath a ninja to snatch a baby.

"Ahem, but it can still be raised."

"Let him marry someone from the village and have more children, so that the Byakugan's bloodstains can be seen in the Cloud Village in the future."

Seeing the Raikage's somewhat disdainful gaze, Tsuchikage quickly explained.

"Lord Raikage, the main thing to consider is how long it will take to win the war once it starts."

"After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered a severe loss of talent, with the number of ninjas in the village reduced to less than a quarter of what it used to be, resulting in a significant decrease in its strength."

"But we in the Hidden Cloud Village also suffered losses."

"Moreover, even though the power of Iwagakure has been largely diminished by the Third Raikage, and they are now struggling even to fight Sunagakure, we still have to be wary of the treacherous Onoki."

Ok

That's very true.

The Fourth Raikage thought that this Cloud Village technician who was always by his father's side was indeed very insightful.

They still harbored some resentment towards the Cloud Village ninjas for taking the baby girl.

"Lord Raikage, if the war drags on for too long, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, may have to join the fight."

"If he joins the war, our war against Konoha will most likely fail."

"Gaining benefits before the war is something we need to consider."

"How about we do this?"

"Under the pretext of signing an agreement, a Cloud Village unit was dispatched to Konoha, and a ninja skilled in stealth was secretly sent to the Hyuga clan to steal the newborn baby girl from the main branch."

"Because of Hyuga's Byakugan, our theft will most likely be exposed."

"Therefore, after the successful theft, we quickly dispatched troops to the border, and our army simultaneously declared war on Konoha, thus igniting a war!"

Tu Tai spoke with absolute certainty.

"What if the theft failed?"

The fourth generation of Ai asked this question.

"If the theft fails, then this ninja will most likely be in mortal danger."

"As long as he is dead, we will never admit to the theft. We will use the death of our comrade as a reason to pressure the Konoha leadership, saying that we will start a war and make demands."

"Hiruzen Sarutobi only has two choices."

"One option is to engage in direct combat. Considering Konoha's current weakened state, the probability of the opponent doing such a thing is not high."

"Secondly, to appease us. In that case, we will demand the corpse of Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga family, as compensation, or else we will go to war."

"Whether or not war breaks out, it is all within the expectations of our Cloud Village."

"Boom!"

Raikage's desk shook from being punched.

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

The Fourth Raikage stood up.

"Tutai, this matter is entirely in your hands."

"We must secure the greatest possible benefit for our Cloud Village!"

"Yes!"

After Tsuchikage left, Raikage began to browse the documents in front of him again.

However, none of them noticed a slightly darker shadow in the corner of the ceiling.

"Sister Mikoto, the atmosphere in the tribe is really strange right now."

Inside the Konoha House's commercial office, Uchiha Mikoto, dressed in a long-sleeved short dress and black stockings, was listening to Obito and Kakashi discuss work.

Yesterday afternoon, the two returned to Konoha and received their mission from the Third Hokage.

Mikoto sighed.

She didn't want to stay in the clan's territory either, as she was rejected by almost everyone and felt that even staying there was a mistake.

"Obito, stop complaining about the mission."

Kakashi stared at Obito with his dead fish eyes, and Obito immediately stopped complaining. He even imitated Kakashi by staring back with his own dead fish eyes, but Kakashi wasn't in the mood to play the game of who could avoid looking at the other first.

"Sister Mikoto, there are barriers around the base, right?"

"Yes, it was all arranged by Brother Yuan himself, so there's no need to worry about anyone monitoring us."

Hearing this, Kakashi nodded.

"The Third Hokage intends for me to investigate Root, hoping that I can find out the identity of the new Jinchuriki."

"He implied to me that the other party was likely an infant who went missing ten years ago, and that he had been subjected to experiments with Hashirama cells to have the potential to become a Jinchuriki."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded to indicate that she understood and took a document out of the drawer.

"This is information about the child that Aino sent over."

"Take a look first, and then investigate step by step according to the Third Hokage's mission."

Kakashi took the intelligence report, glanced through it, and then frowned.

So it really was human experimentation?

I hope to see what Wood Release is all about.

"How is Obito and Shisui doing?"

After Obito joined Hatsumi Castle and met Uchiha Shisui, the task of getting in touch with Shisui was assigned to him.

After all, in Kiyoi Gen's view, it is easier for male members of the Uchiha clan to develop feelings for each other.

"It's still the same."

Obito shrugged helplessly.

"He will not easily change his mind because of the kaleidoscope he has opened up based on his own beliefs."

"Since our last conversation, I've had very few exchanges with him. On the contrary, Itachi has been staying by Shisui's side and accepting his ideas."

"For now, we'll just leave it alone and see if there are any plans for a coup within the Uchiha clan."

Mikoto nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Continue with normal observation."

After the three discussed it further, Mikoto began writing her regular report, preparing to use the Flying Thunder God Formation to go directly to Hatsuhi Castle to report to Kiyoi Gen.

Although there are more convenient ways, Mikoto believes that this face-to-face method of handing over documents is more formal.

Hmm, more serious.

Unbeknownst to her, while writing the report, Mikoto raised her left hand and touched her slightly flushed face.

She closed her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembling, as if she had thought of something extremely embarrassing.

Hmm, let's not overthink it. Let's take some time to go shopping with Sister Xiao Ai.

It seems like there are new clothes again.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to place Jinchuriki Armor under his direct command of the Anbu.

However, firstly, he lacked information about Jia, and secondly, he didn't have enough dirt on Danzo.

Even if they forcefully take it over under the guise of "for the sake of Konoha," Danzo will probably let Konoha decide for itself whether to stay or leave.

His old friend did indeed have a unique approach to training people. Most of the Root ninjas were extremely loyal and regarded Danzo's orders as absolute. If a person did not have a yearning for the light, it would be difficult for him to recruit them.

Therefore, the most important thing is to obtain information about this person.

Although Danzo sent him biographical information, Hiruzen Sarutobi absolutely did not believe that Danzo had not concealed anything from him.

Even though he sent the exceptionally capable Kakashi to investigate, there were still no results.

Danzo hid this child far too well.

But he would always send this child on missions.

That was the opportunity!

However, by the beginning of February in the 49th year of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi still hadn't gotten his chance. Instead, he witnessed the arrival of an envoy from Kumogakure in Konoha.

They even said they wanted to sign a peace treaty.

Chapter 263 Hyuga Caught in the Whirlpool

The leader who came to Konoha this time to carry out a secret mission is called Hasai.

As a Jonin who was completely loyal to Kumogakure, he was very clear about his duties.

When he arrived in Konoha with a delegation of nine people, he was warmly received by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and it was agreed that a meeting would be held the following day to discuss a series of details regarding the signing of an alliance agreement.

Therefore, during this free time, Hasai and his subordinates began to stroll around Konoha.

Is there surveillance?

Of course there are, but they don't care at all.
