Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"Of course nothing will happen. Oh, and I need to write a letter to thank Daimyo Shimizu for his support. Otherwise, we would have been in a state of shortage of supplies long ago."

Although Hashirama Senju is not in charge of logistics, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to logistics, otherwise he would not be the leader of this alliance.

But these words made Senju Tobirama frown again, because he had already noticed some hidden dangers.

As the saying goes, there is no two suns in the sky. The Senju clan has always been supported by the Sonoichi daimyo. According to the popular view of this era, the Senju clan is a subordinate of the Sonoichi clan.

After the Fire Nation is pacified, theoretically, the Daimyo of Sonichi should become the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, but now the Daimyo of Shimizu has intervened, and there is no doubt that the Yinghuo Organization will definitely support the Daimyo of Shimizu.

Doesn’t this mean that there are signs of civil unrest before the country is even established?

"Hyoujin has completed the task of pacifying the northwest border. What should we ask them to do next?" Tobirama asked.

Hashirama thought for a moment and said:

"Let's call back the ninjas from the Four Clan of Shinobi. We don't need Yuzhen and his men on the front lines of the Fire Country's internal war. We have more than enough strength... We will soon be able to decide the outcome with the Uchiha."

"Hamaru can be in charge of the logistical work he is good at, such as setting up a field hospital, ensuring the smooth transportation of supplies, selecting the location of the new ninja village, and preparing various departments of the new ninja village."

"Hmm? Tobirama, you don't look very happy. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Tobirama wanted to punch his biological brother. Damn it, Yuzhen is the eldest brother, right?

Look at the tasks he assigned to Yu Zhen—they were all the tasks a leader of the alliance should have been doing, and yet what happened? The leader threw away all the real power like it was stinking dog shit, and he was only busy with war.

While Hashirama was busy fighting while Yushin was doing logistics and preparing for the ninja village, what was this? The executive vice-leader and his conquest of the Uchiha general?

But Tobirama couldn't say anything about this. Was he going to start fighting for power at this time?

It's not that he doesn't understand that his elder brother and Yuzhen don't really care about many things, but he himself is like a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, eager to figure out clearly what is yours and what is mine... Frankly speaking, this is just meddling in other people's business.

There's nothing I can do about it, it's all due to my personality. That's how the evil Thousand-Handed Old Ghost is.

Just as the two brothers were trying hard to show the difference in their personalities, a Thousand-Handed Ninja hurried up to them.

"Hashirama-sama, Tobirama-sama, this is an emergency!"

Although the ninja who came to report looked very anxious, he still couldn't hide the extremely strange expression on his face.

I couldn't hold it in, it was unbelievable, and it seemed utterly irrational.

"What happened?" Tobirama asked.

"Someone surrendered to us... To be more precise, a group of Uchiha ninjas broke away from the Uchiha clan and surrendered to us as individuals."

Chapter 168 Fairy Feathers in the Lake

Several Uchiha ninjas were led into the village of the Senju clan, attracting countless onlookers along the way... What was happening at the moment was too rare, even to the point of being fantastic.

After a while, these Uchiha ninjas with dejected faces came in front of the Senju brothers.

No one doubted that they were assassins sent by the Uchiha clan to kill Hashirama. To be honest, the Uchiha clan would not be so stupid.

At this time, even Hashirama Senju was a little curious why these Uchiha ninjas suddenly surrendered. This behavior went against the Uchiha's character of "stubborn" and "not turning back even if they hit a wall."

So he directly asked these Uchiha ninjas what had happened.

The leading Uchiha ninja answered Hashirama's doubts and told him about his own experience.

After listening to these people's stories, Senju Tobirama said:

"I know those Uchiha ninjas you mentioned. Although their leader has an inexplicable hostility towards me and can't wait to get rid of me, but..."

"Their actions were actually just to rescue those Uchiha ninjas who had lost their fighting ability on the battlefield. Why was Madara so obsessed with dealing with them?"

Of course, Tobirama was just raising a question, and he didn't expect these people to give accurate answers.

"Speaking of which, although Madara's behavior is extremely problematic, why did your attitude towards him undergo such a subversive change, from a follower to a defector?"

"Tobirama!"

Hashirama turned around and glared at Tobirama. This stinky little brother talks too much.

These Uchiha ninjas could answer the latter question, but they didn't want to.

Because the change in their attitude towards Madara was a long process, the death of their tribesmen at the hands of Madara was just a symbolic event, and their attitude was not subverted by it.

There were signs of the formation of the Senju Alliance early on, and the demise of the Hagoromo clan was proof of that, but what did Madara do after that?

He still insisted on confronting the Senju head-on, completely ignoring the changes in the overall strength of both sides. In other words, Madara showed his irrational side.

Then, with the death of Uchiha Izuna, Madara became even weirder.

Honestly, who is to blame for Izuna's death? The enemy had clearly changed drastically, but the Uchiha still stuck to their old style of fighting, completely unaware of adapting. Whose responsibility is this?

Izuna's death was a turning point for Madara, and Kensuke's death completely refreshed the Uchiha ninjas' perception of Madara... They no longer deceived themselves, and some filters were broken.

In essence, the reason they chose to surrender was that they no longer trusted Uchiha Madara's ability and believed that Uchiha had lost hope under his leadership. However, Madara's strength determined that Uchiha could not get rid of his leadership.

What kind of ending will a paranoid and particularly capable clan leader bring to this ninja clan?

I don't know, but these Uchiha ninjas felt that it would be better to surrender to the Senju instead of following the clan leader.

There's really nothing wrong with the decisions made by these ninjas.

How many of the current Uchiha Clan still believed they could defeat the Senju Alliance? No one spoke, but everyone had their own thoughts.

Because as long as they are not mentally ill, they can feel the powerful pressure brought by the Senju Alliance. The enemy is constantly improving, but the Uchiha are standing still.

"I know this is a difficult step for you. I don't want to cause too much bloodshed, so I'm willing to accept your..."

"Wait, Master Hashirama, we have two more requests. If you can agree to them, we will serve you like a dog. If you cannot agree, we would rather die than surrender."

They seemed to want to maintain some integrity, but the fact that Uchiha said "I am willing to be your dog or horse" showed that they were indeed extremely disappointed with Uchiha Madara.

"Please speak."

"First, we request that we not fight the Uchiha. Second, we will not leak any information related to the Uchiha... I hope to gain the understanding of Master Hashirama on these two points."

Senju Tobirama was about to object, but he only heard Hashirama say:

"No problem, I promise."

Hashirama's generosity made these Uchiha ninjas feel relieved. To be honest, this was their only place to stay.

Senju Tobirama was quite unhappy. He felt that his elder brother was too quick to speak. How could he agree to such conditions? He should send these Uchiha ninjas back to Madara to act as spies.

Thousand Hands Tobirama,

Three days without conspiracy,

I feel uncomfortable all over.

All I can say is that the two brothers' mindsets are indeed quite different.

The Senju Alliance accepted several Uchiha ninjas, which made some people unhappy and some people happy... The surrender of some people meant that the Uchiha clan was not far from complete collapse.

When a ninja clan begins to disintegrate, external pressure will have a more effective effect.

The goal of wiping out all the ninja clans in the Land of Fire seems to be within reach.

…………

Yu Zhen was notified of such an important matter at the first time, and at the same time he also received the next task of the Firefly Organization.

"The Uchiha ninjas have begun to surrender, which means that the biggest reactionary faction in the Fire Nation will be eliminated... Whether it's slaughter or swallowing, the entire armed forces of the Fire Nation will be under the control of the Senju Alliance. It is a foregone conclusion."

"If Hashirama can act faster, maybe this can be ended within this year... See, Uchiha can also contribute to the peace of the ninja world."

Yu Zhen's mood became very good because of this. He saw that one of the tasks he had received was to select a site for the new ninja village, so he immediately notified Hatake Sakumo to come for a meeting.

Well, under his wise leadership and with the dedicated assistance of Hatake Sakumo, the task of selecting a site can be easily accomplished - unless Hatake Sakumo doesn't know where Konoha is.

But Hatake is not a directionally challenged person, at least he can find his way home.

However, just when Hatake Sakumo came to Yuzhen's tent, before the two sides had time to communicate, a ninja also hurried over.

"Huh? A ninja claiming to be from Uchiha wants to see me? What's going on?"

The news brought by this ninja made Yu Zhen stunned for a moment. He thought that although the end of the Uchiha was already decided, it would not be so soon that the monkeys would scatter when the tree fell, right?

"Lord Yuzhen, there is a little difference... They are Uchiha ninjas, but they claim to be from the Eagle Organization." The ninja who delivered the message corrected Yuzhen's statement.

"Hawk... Oh, it's these Uchiha ninjas," Yuzhen immediately realized that the people who came were actually Sasuke's subordinates, "Let them in."

As for Sasuke, Yuzhen hasn't heard any information about Sasuke for quite a long time - Sasuke was originally quite active, but since Yuzhen started to carry out the mission of pacifying the border, he has no energy to pay attention to other things.

After a while, under the guidance of a Firefly Ninja, three Uchiha ninjas walked into Yuzhen's tent.

Just by looking at them, Yu Zhen knew that these people were in a bad situation.

Not only were their expressions somewhat dejected, but the leading ninja walked in holding a bloodstained straight-blade sword...

That is Uchiha Sasuke's Kusanagi sword.

"I know where you come from, but... why are you here?"

Yu Zhen's gaze remained on the sword, and he asked the three people at the same time.

"Master Yuzhen, Master Wuming..."

These people told the story of the Hawk Organization, or more precisely, the encounter between Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Madara.

"…In order to cover the evacuation of the rest of the organization, Lord Wuming personally led the rearguard and engaged in a fierce battle with Uchiha Madara."

"When we returned to the scene afterwards, we only found the sword."

Yu Zhen was speechless. You found this sword and brought it to me. What does this have to do with me?

"Perhaps after being defeated by Madara, he was captured."

Unexpectedly, the three Uchiha ninjas shook their heads at the same time.

"With the noble character of Lord Wuming, how could he submit to Uchiha Madara? We know that the worst may have happened."

Noble? Aren't these two people both members of the Four Great Laughing Masters? Shouldn't their personalities be similar? After all, Yu Zhen is not an Uchiha ninja, so he can't empathize with these three people.

"We know the origins of Mr. Wuming, and we can also guess that his appearance in this era may be related to the Yinghuo Organization..."

"Master Wuming once told us that if we encountered the worst possible situation, we could surrender to Master Yuzhen and join the Firefly Organization."

Huh? Yuzhen was stunned. Did Sasuke really need to trust him so much? Their relationship was just a chance encounter.

It turns out that this group of people thought Sasuke was dead, but is Sasuke really dead?

Yu Zhen couldn't be sure and could only be skeptical, because when Sasuke was summoned to this era before, he was obviously subjected to additional interference... It seemed that someone was protecting the "contemporary" Indra possessor.

You have to know that it’s not only Black Zetsu who has been monitoring the ninja world, but also the person Black Zetsu hates the most.

So did this person really allow Sasuke to die silently like this?

Yu Zhen's mind was working at high speed, and he said hesitantly:

"So you're here... isn't that right? There are only three of you left?"

The leading Uchiha ninja continued to shake his head:

"Unfortunately, we are unable to carry out Master Wuming's final order. We are not here to surrender to Master Yuzhen on behalf of the Eagle Organization, but to inform you of Master Wuming's fate and return his sword to you."

Yu Zhen: "..."

What use is this broken sword to me? Do you think I'm a feather in the lake? What's your train of thought?

"So you are planning?"

"We are going to continue the unfinished work of Master Wuming. In the upcoming war, we will do our best to protect the Uchiha clan while avoiding integration into the future ninja village."

"You don't have to do this, do you? You could be a little more rational... For the sake of the nameless master you mentioned, I'm willing to accept you. You may think you're doing the right thing, but you also have to consider the tide of the times. Those who go against the tide will only drown."

Yu Zhen felt that these Uchiha ninjas were different. They realized the cruelty of the world, so they were very down-to-earth and not so arrogant at all. He was happy to lend a hand.

But these people have made their decision long ago and they are not going to change it.

"We don't regret following Master Wuming. If we were to ask what we regret in this life... we should regret not following Master Qimei to Yinghuo."

"But once you miss it, you miss it. Since we missed it the first time, we must not miss it the second time."

This "second time" obviously does not mean joining Firefly again.

Having said what needed to be said, these people put down their swords and turned to leave.

But when they arrived at the door of the tent, a ninja stopped and turned around, leaving a final word:

"Lord Yuzhen, we are not destined to become sages, but at least we have followed sages... Thank you for witnessing all this."

Lord Yuzhen nodded silently. You guys are so stubborn that I don’t know what to say.
