Naruto: I upgraded my bloodline limit using chakra.

"Some unambitious people, indulging in pleasure, ultimately have no reason to exist..."

"Remember, don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Ancestor, please rest assured, I, Uchiha Genba, will keep my mouth shut!"

Several more hours passed.

The sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Obito never reappeared.

He couldn't afford to waste too much time on Gen Ye.

Despite not having slept all night, Xuan Ye didn't feel much fatigue. He ran towards the Uchiha clan with lightning speed.

Genba had already guessed what Obito's last words meant.

this matter.

It could be a matter of life and death for the Uchiha clan!

We must report to Fugaku immediately!

Genye rushed to Fugaku's residence like a runaway horse, then came to Fugaku who was having breakfast. He picked up the milk that the latter had just poured, drank it all in one gulp, and then quickly said.

"Uncle Fugaku, I've met a mysterious person who claims to be Uchiha Madara!"

"Uchiha Madara?" Upon hearing this name, Fugaku's eyes flashed with horror.

Wasn't this ancestor killed by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju?

How could he still be alive?

Fugaku asked Genyo to recount what had happened.

After listening.

After thinking for a while, Fugaku spoke with a serious expression.

Whether this person is Madara Uchiha is still uncertain, but one thing is certain: he is from the Uchiha clan and seems to be secretly plotting something.

Genba did not reveal Obito's identity.

He began, "Uncle Fugaku, this mysterious person is very strong. Based on the information in his words, I suspect he may hate our Uchiha clan..."

"The Cloud Village delegation is preparing to return. If this person uses the Sharingan to kill the former, the blame might fall on our Uchiha clan. We need to report this to the Hokage!"

Fugaku's heart skipped a beat.

He then realized that he was far less comprehensive in his thinking than Xuan Ye.

If the Cloud Village delegation was indeed killed.

This is tantamount to declaring war on the Hidden Cloud Village.

It might even break out into the Fourth Shinobi World War!

In that case, the Uchiha clan will be the "culprit" behind this incident!

"Xuan Ye, you come with me to report to the Hokage!"

Chapter 49 Pride and Prejudice (Please read on!)

The Hokage's office building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's office.

Apart from the third generation.

The three advisors, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, were all present.

Making a big deal out of a small matter.

Important matters are discussed in small meetings.

The gathering of four people was unusual.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's brow furrowed somewhat solemnly.

"Someone broke into Konoha's forbidden jutsu room yesterday. What do you think about that?"

Konoha is currently the strongest village.

Someone actually dared to break into the forbidden ninjutsu room and steal ninjutsu.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"The forbidden jutsu room is jointly guarded by the Anbu and Root. According to the Anbu members on site, the mysterious person appeared out of thin air and must have used a space-time ninjutsu." Danzo frowned and described the information he had gathered.

"Could it be the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Mitokado Homura said with a hint of shock.

“Impossible!” Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

Only the second and fourth generations can use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Moreover, the Flying Thunder Mystic Technique has never been lost.

It's impossible for anyone to learn that.

Hiruzen Sarutobi speculated.

The other party may have used another kind of spacetime secret technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Have you found out which type of ninjutsu was lost?"

"It's the Rasengan! Luckily, the Anbu and Root discovered it early, otherwise it might have caused even greater losses," Danzo replied.

"It's alright." Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a slight sigh of relief; in his eyes, the Rasengan wasn't that valuable.

He then made a request.

"Increase patrols by the Dark Guard and Root to prevent this from happening again!"

"Okay." Danzo nodded.

The sound had barely faded when...

A knock sounded at the door.

A member of the secret service came in to report.

"Lord Hokage, Fugaku Uchiha has urgent news to report."

"Uchiha Fugaku? Let him in." Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly puzzled.

After entering the conference room.

Fugaku noticed that all three advisors from Konoha's high-ranking officials were present and couldn't help but snort coldly.

He had absolutely no feelings for these three old men who did nothing of substance.

Especially Shimura Danzo!

"Lord Hokage, my clansman, Uchiha Genba, encountered a mysterious man last night who claimed to be Uchiha Madara. He seems intent on provoking a war between us and Kumogakure!"

"Uchiha Madara!?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was initially shocked, then repeatedly pondered the name, and finally shook his head slightly.

Madara Uchiha died at the hands of the First Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi suspects that someone is using Madara's identity.

Moreover, this mysterious person might be the same person who stole the Rasengan!

of course.

Hiruzen Sarutobi will not reveal that the Rasengan was stolen.

It would be too embarrassing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his gaze to Genya beside him and asked, "Do you know why the mysterious person approached you?"

Genye hesitated for a moment before replying with an uncertain tone.

"Is it because I'm handsome?"

A moment of silence fell over everyone.

Fugaku, in particular, felt both annoyed and amused.

But... well done.

When he realized that no one was paying attention to him, Xuan Ye gave a dry laugh.

"The mysterious man said I was exceptionally talented, a genius among geniuses in the ninja world, and wanted to recruit me, but I righteously and firmly refused!"

“I, Uchiha Genba, take it upon myself to protect the ninja world and Konoha. How could I do anything to harm the village?”

Everyone knows.

Xuan Ye's talent is terrifying.

Although it's an exaggeration, there's actually a possibility.

then.

Genye slowly began to speak, mentioning everything except for the fact that Obito had given him the Rasengan.

Genba's meaning is very simple.

One possibility is that the mysterious person is from the Uchiha clan, but his identity is unknown, and he wants Gen-ye to follow him.

Secondly, the mysterious figure may want to instigate a war between Konoha and Kumogakure.

Third, the Uchiha clan had already reported this in advance, and anything the mysterious person did was unrelated to the Uchiha clan.

After hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that all of this was just speculation, without any substantial evidence.

He thought the Uchiha had obtained some accurate information.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Among the five hidden villages, Konoha and Kumogakure are currently the strongest. If we attack the Kumogakure delegation and expose our identities, we may face the wrath of both major factions. I don't think anyone in the entire ninja world would dare to do that!"

"You're overthinking it."

in short.

Hiruzen Sarutobi simply didn't believe the two of them.

They believe their inferences are unreliable.

Fugaku tried to reason with him and persuade him.

"Lord Hokage, if the Cloud Village delegation really gets into trouble within Konoha's territory, then Cloud Village can pin the blame on Konoha. At that time, they will have a reason to launch a war against Konoha. Lord Hokage, please think it over."

Xiaochun, who was in the next dormitory, sneered and then said.

"Uchiha Fugaku, stop spreading alarmist rumors. No one in the world has ever dared to challenge the authority of both Konoha and Kumogakure at the same time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe and said:

"Clan Chief Fugaku, what do you think of having two ANBU Jonin secretly escort the Kumogakure delegation away?"

"Alright." Fugaku knew this was the biggest concession the other party could make, and could only sigh softly.

Without accurate intelligence.

It's unlikely that the Konoha leadership would send a large force to protect the Kumogakure delegation.

After all, doing so would be a loss of face for Konoha and would make Kumogakure laugh at them.

The main thing is.

This is just a deduction made by a child who is not yet nine years old.

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand confidently, indicating to Fugaku that there was no need to worry, that this would not happen, and that the latter should trust his judgment.

"Captain Fugaku, please step out first. I have something to discuss with Genba Uchiha!"

Fugaku was "invited" out of the meeting room.

then.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Genba, a gentle smile appearing on his aged face.
