Ninja Ice House

A few minutes later, at a monitoring point not far from the Uchiha clan, after using the authority of the squad leader to send the people around him away, Uchiha Itachi met a mysterious man wearing a whirlpool mask and calling himself Uchiha Madara.

"Are you still hesitating? Itachi, neither Konoha nor Uchiha can tolerate you."

"hesitate?"

Speaking proudly in a slightly teasing tone, Uchiha Itachi stared at the visitor who kept a cautious distance.

"What can you give me?"

"Let you see the top power of the ninja world. Your future is limited here."

"Boring persuasion."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head slightly and responded casually. His eyes wandered and he scanned the mysterious person in front of him several times.

Unfortunately, Obito Uchiha is also a ruthless character with rich combat experience. He also knows the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan very well. He has great experience in how to avoid the focus of sight and prevent unknown child arts from coming to him.

Seeing that there was no chance of a sneak attack, Uchiha Itachi temporarily gave up on using Tsukuyomi to kill the opponent. He turned his head slightly and looked at several brilliant firelights that struck the semicircular upside-down dome of the barrier. They were gunpowder.

Kinetic weapons release power.

"The guards of the Furusugi family, right? The daimyo will come to Konoha Village soon to watch the chunin exams. Those standing in front of the fight are all elites. Why bother with them?"

For those nobles who usually have high self-esteem and are really not weak in strength, but their defenses are full of loopholes, anyone with any knowledge will know that not to confront them head-on, but to use skill and skill to move a thousand pounds is what a ninja should do.

Using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points doesn't look too smart at all.

"I just want to see what the current Uchiha clan leader is planning and secretly go to meet the heir of the Furusugi family, so I'm a little curious..."

"That repeater..."

No matter how unsociable and ignorant you are, you should have heard of the famous figure in the ninja school who is like a ghost story in the academy. He is known as the eternal senior and a prospective graduate who repeats every year. What's more, his name is even more legendary.

She is a genius daughter who is in the same class as Uchiha Sasuke. Her younger brother has been outshone in the limelight. She comes home and complains to her brother every now and then. It’s hard not to think about it.

By the way, Uchiha Shisui had an encounter with him last year, but unfortunately he died after he came back.

"Those nobles are all ruthless characters who are good at protecting themselves and will not let themselves get caught in the vortex of conflict between the Uchiha family and the village."

"It's hard to say. Your father really wants to drag the Fusagi family into trouble. Even if those great nobles are taken out individually, they have huge flaws. If they are united with the powerful ninja clan, the energy they can exert is terrifying.

"

During the Third Ninja War, the Furusugi family basically never attacked independently, but every time they did it, they left a deep impression on people. The Uchiha family and the Kiri ninja fought bloody battles, and relied on the support of the Furusugi family to defeat the home team.

The benefits are fully realized.

Kannabibashi's strategic turning point relied on Minato Namikaze to turn the tide, and the Kosugi family's supply of materials regardless of cost also played a key role.

Short-term conflicts require elite soldiers to fight for success, but the long-term stalemate is all about money. Without the approval of the daimyo, backbone forces like the Kosugi family hold on and rely solely on Konoha ninjas to take missions and earn rewards. They cannot win the Ninja World War and cannot maintain it.

The dominant position in the ninja world.

If the Daimyo and Furusugi families were determined to support the Uchiha family, there is no doubt that Konoha Village would really be divided.

"Worrying is unfounded."

Uchiha Itachi thought for a moment and understood the other party's plan.

"It will only be counterproductive. I am not familiar with Major Governor Furusugi, but I have heard that he is a smart man. No matter which side wins, in the end, it will be inseparable from the support of the Daimyo and the Furusugi clan in order to control the Leaf Village.

With great power, there is no need to take sides."

"Ah……"

Uchiha Obito sneered contemptuously,

"Konoha ninjas have also fallen. Whoever was the Hokage in the past did not need the approval of secular power? Fighting within oneself gave outsiders room to intervene."

After glancing at the other person like an idiot, Uchiha Itachi did not continue to refute. Without this guy who calls himself "Uchiha Madara" to sow discord, the internal situation in Konoha Village would not be as bad as it is now.

As if aware of Uchiha Itachi's mentality, Uchiha Obito shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"I don't mind being exposed. Anyway, the Hokage should be aware of it. But you, I hope you won't do anything to disappoint me at the critical moment. I'm looking forward to your joining, let me see where your limit is...

"

Taking revenge on the Leaf Village, annihilating the Uchiha family according to the plan, collecting the Sharingan, and at the same time letting Uchiha Itachi, a powerful helper, assist in capturing the tailed beasts and jinchūriki. Killing two birds with one stone could not be more perfect.

"I heard that the Uchiha clan leader has begun to relax the restrictions on the forbidden arts Yin Zhennaki and Yin Zhenami. If someone really acts recklessly and uses the Sharingan as a consumable to cast forbidden arts, it would be a waste. I hope you

You can make a difference and promote the arrival of the final 'Judgment Day' as soon as possible, don't wait until it's out of control..."

As he spoke, Uchiha Obito activated his divine power with his right eye, and his body was sucked in, leaving behind a light word,

"Do not disappoint me."

The night wind blew by, leaving Itachi Uchiha staring blankly at the commotion in the distance.

…

When an ANBU wears a mask, it is actually very difficult to determine the identity through appearance and voice. This is especially true when wearing a hood and using voice-changing surgery.

The masked ninja who was investigating and collecting evidence in front of him, Gushan Bushui, didn't know his specific identity. He looked a bit like Tenzo, but he wasn't sure.

After changing into a bathrobe and lazily drinking tea in the pavilion, Gu Shanbu Shui complained a little impatiently:

"I have said several times that I am a victim. You should investigate other suspicious characters. I was attacked as soon as I arrived in Konoha Village. It is really bad. I came all the way here and I am safe and sound. I am treating myself as if I were

I encountered an assassin in my Konoha Village. You should give me an explanation. If my guards hadn't been alert, I might have died before you could protect me..."

"Major Governor, we also want to help you, but the available information is too little. His face, body shape, voice, and the way in and out are all unclear. We only know that he is suspected of using time and space ninjutsu, is good at fire escape, and even

I don’t know if it’s aimed at you…”

"You mean, in this Myojin Pavilion, there is a more valuable target than me? I, the master, don't even know that, but you Konoha ninjas are prophets of the future..."

Gushan Bushui, holding a gun and a stick, said sarcastically,

"We, the Gusugi clan, also very much need the force protection provided by the Konoha ninjas, but that is not the reason for you to plant spies."

"Spies or something, that's too harsh."

The visitor gave a helpless look to his companions, put away the notebook,

"The matter is over, we will arrest the murderer as soon as possible. If you have anything to add, please feel free to contact us at any time. If you have any questions, you can go to the Hokage's house. The Sandaime will be very happy that Lord Bu Shui has returned to Konoha Village. I hope you will spend your time here

A nice holiday…”

"Okay, let's go down. I know you are also acting under orders, and taking it out on you is useless. It's getting late, and I need to rest. Also, if the people nearby who have been affected have suffered losses, I will not compensate them.

Stingy, I will issue a list when the time comes..."

"Greatful."

Several ANBU bowed slightly and saluted, then turned and left. Gu Shanbu Shui was alone, gurgling slightly depressed.

"You only apologize when you open your mouth and don't mention any promises. I was so frightened and didn't even try to comfort you. I sent a powerful bodyguard over. You don't take me seriously. After all, I am the fourth in the daimyo... that's wrong.

, now he is the third in line to succeed."

While the gossip was drifting in the wind, a vague wave suddenly appeared beside Gushan Bushui. The master of the teleportation technique suddenly appeared, wearing a light gray robe, wearing a magic mirror, two handlebar mustaches, and a

The beard is neatly groomed.

In the darkness, one could not see the specific appearance of the other party, but with this outfit, one could tell that he was from the Aburame family. His aura was so strong that he must not be an ordinary person.

"As you wish, Konoha Jounin, Aburame Shimi, will be responsible for your safety before the Chunin Examination."

"It's actually a senior? That's a bit surprising..."

Kosugi Fusui was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the presence of the Aburame clan was indeed very weak, and his son Aburame Shino was also better than others.

With such personal protection, I felt relieved, but it was difficult to take action personally for some covert operations.

"Recently, some young people in the village have been doing evil and disturbed the young governor. The third generation also feels a little sorry. When the daimyo arrives, security will be strengthened. Please don't worry."

The taciturn Aburame Shihui was able to embarrass him by saying these words. It was probably not his original intention, but what Sarutobi Hiruzen told him to do.

"In that case, I'll trouble you."

With five of his subordinates, he began to build a peripheral defensive position near the Myojin Pavilion. The personal guards affiliated with Gusugi Fusui retreated inside and handed over the vigilance to the Konoha ninjas, who were only responsible for close protection.

I originally thought about going to the newly renovated small western-style house to spend some time with Xianglin, but I had to give up.

There is plenty of time to maintain the relationship between father and daughter, and one cannot be careless about one's own safety. Who knows whether Uchiha Obito and Zetsu will make a comeback.

Two days later, Togakushi Hinode finished his daily teaching duties and took turns to take a vacation. He came to Myojinkan to exchange information with Furugi Bosui.

As the storm of the assassination of Major Governor Gu Shan gradually subsided, the original defense strategy of being tight on the outside and tight on the inside also changed slightly.

Of course, the so-called murderer cannot be caught.

With Obito Uchiha's mobility, almost no one would be able to discover him if he wanted to hide.

On the other hand, some of the baits that were released were killed, and some were captured, but they were all mentally disturbed and their thinking was in chaos. Yamanaka Haiichi personally took action and used mystical magic to read minds, but he did not find any valuable information.

Through comparison, it can be concluded that these unlucky guys are all notorious wanted criminals in the ninja world. As for how they sneaked into Konoha Village and why they were related to the murderer of the noble noble, it is completely unclear.

The investigation has reached a deadlock, and there are no suspected targets on the surface. However, as the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi has some ideas.

A master who is proficient in the secrets of time and space appeared when the Nine-Tailed attacked the village, and then disappeared without a trace. Now, that "shadow" has reappeared.

"Is he a member of the Uchiha family? Regardless of whether he is or not, we cannot escape the relationship."

The bright red Sharingan in the eyes of the Kyuubi who almost destroyed the Leaf Village was still vivid in his mind, and the Yondaime couple died before their eyes.

The power controlled by the Hokage definitely has an advantage over the Uchiha family, but no one can say how big this advantage is, whether it can eliminate its opponents at a small cost, and whether there are hostile forces involved behind the scenes.

Although the swords are tense now, there is still some room for maneuver. Once the action is taken, it must end with the complete fall of one party.

In addition, the gunpowder firearms used by the Gusugi family guards that night were also so powerful that the ninja on duty who was responsible for defending the barrier was also stunned by the backlash and almost vomited blood while supplying chakra to maintain its operation.

And died.

A few hits from armor-piercing bullets broke through the extremely powerful barrier. Although it was an enemy-seeking barrier that was good at perception, its defense was not top-notch, and it was not something that ordinary ninjas could break.

As a result, a few elite soldiers whose strength was at the Chunin level defeated it in three strikes, five divided by two.

The power of secular weapons is getting stronger and stronger. The scientific ninja tools in the secret research institute in Konoha Village have never been able to produce practical results, which is really worrying.

The elite of the ninja world are in Ninja Village, but the size of the world is really too big. Even if the success rate is less than one percent of that of Konoha Village, the Furusugi family can gather a large number of available scholars to serve them.

"Let's solve the Uchiha family's problems first. We can't leave the hidden dangers of our seniors to the Fifth Generation. As for the rest..."

The ninja village and the secular nobles have common interests and are also competitors. How this troublesome situation will develop, Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot see clearly.

This is a grudge and entanglement at the level of historical trends. It is normal for the parties involved in the game to not see clearly. The game that takes ten years or even a hundred years can only be grasped by future generations.

When the Sandaime Hokage was looking through the latest information, the news about the imminent arrival of the daimyo and the accompanying guard Asuma Sarutobi came into view, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi sigh with relief.

After completing this last mission to protect shinobi, Sarutobi Asuma will end his recruitment and officially return to the ninja system of Konoha Village.

The delinquent boy who ran away from home finally figured it out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't place much hope on this troubled young son. He didn't expect his son to inherit his father's legacy and become Hokage, but he also didn't want to see him go astray.

I originally thought that the rebellious phase would last for a few years, but it turned around in less than three years. The civil war among the guardian ninja a few months ago was a blessing in disguise.

Immediately afterwards, when I turned to the next page and saw the effect of the Uchiha family's forbidden art - Yin Zhenaki, which the ANBU had learned about, the loose wrinkles on my face immediately tightened.

"Hmph! The color is fierce but the heart is soft, the trapped beast is still fighting!"
