Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 157 Unexpected Accident! Mito Uzumaki is Dying! (Happy New Year everyone!)

Danzo, what have you done now?

Whenever any problem arose in the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately thought of his old partner who had just returned to the village.

After thinking for a moment, I rejected this answer.

The roots suffered heavy losses, and Danzo was seriously injured, almost crippled.

Instead of researching ninjutsu to restore health, he went on to cause trouble, which is not in line with Danzo's character.

"Could it be a conspiracy by the Uchiha?" Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated.

The Uchiha clan has never been a very stable clan since the first generation.

The clan includes both normal people like Yushu and hawks who constantly shout for a coup.

It's probably Koharu who switched dorms.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head in disappointment. His old friend thought his actions were very discreet.

She didn't realize that the more complex the plan and the more steps involved, the easier it would be for the operation to be leaked.

If not for timely remedial action, she promptly relayed her plan to control public opinion to the secret service.

The family that switches dorm rooms is the next target of a warning!

Unless the issue of public opinion is resolved, the Uchiha clan will not be willing to fight Kirigakure in the short term.

However, these three lines of defense cannot be ignored.

Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned an ANBU member and instructed him, "Have the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi families reinforce the Kirigakure defenses and make sure they withstand the Kirigakure attack."

The three clans of Ino-Shika-Cho have chosen to side with the Senju, taking a completely different path from the third generation.

But his love for the village has never changed.

Konoha is the strongest village in the ninja world.

The ninja clans residing within the village share the same interests as the village.

Even a ninja with a profit-driven mindset might betray the village's interests, but they would never entrust their life and death entirely to the mercy of their enemy.

"Sending out most of the village's ninjas and leaving the entire Uchiha clan at the police department is too dangerous."

"We must find a way to balance the two."

As Hiruzen Sarutobi was deep in thought in the Hokage's office, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was initially annoyed, because even the Anbu would not normally use the Body Flicker Technique in the Hokage's office.

Not to mention appearing in front of you in an instant.

Upon recognizing who it was, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression softened.

"Narukawa, what brings you to the Hokage's office?"

The newly appeared ninja was no stranger to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Narukawa Uzumaki, a member of the Uzumaki clan of the same generation as Mito Uzumaki, but slightly younger, is one of the ninjas responsible for the security of the Senju clan's territory.

Unlike the regular Uzumaki clan members who are skilled in sealing techniques, Uzumaki Narukawa is more proficient in ninjutsu and taijutsu, especially specializing in wind-style ninjutsu. He has also combined wind-style ninjutsu with taijutsu to create his own system of wind-style ninjutsu and taijutsu.

With his Wind Release: Vacuum Blade and skillful taijutsu, he killed three Kirigakure Jonin squads at close range during the Fourth Shinobi World War more than a decade ago, facing a Water Release attack!

Meanwhile, Narukawa Uzumaki is one of the few pro-Konoha members within the Uzumaki faction, and his words are filled with the Will of Fire.

However, when the Land of Whirlpools was attacked, Konoha not only failed to come to their aid, but also coveted the Uzumaki bloodline.

Narukawa lashed out at the Konoha leadership, and the two never spoke to each other again.

They unexpectedly visited today.

Narukawa's eyes held a hint of sorrow, but his expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Third Hokage, is everything alright today?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback. Narukawa Uzumaki had always appeared as Mito-sama's spokesperson. Could something have happened to the Senju clan?

"Lord Mito, what are your orders?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly considered how to negotiate with the Senju clan.

As a result, Uzumaki Narukawa's next words caused his brain to freeze for a moment.

Naruto Uzumaki feigned nonchalance and said, "Lord Mito Uzumaki, it has been decided that the transfer of the tailed beast will be completed today. Kushina will become the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"What did you say!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide open, snapping his pipe in half, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

He paced rapidly around the office.

"How could this be? Why wouldn't Lady Mito notify the Hokage's office! This doesn't make sense..."

“Third Hokage!” Uzumaki Narukawa interrupted, “The village has never had any procedures for transferring Jinchuriki.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback by the remark and angrily retorted, "What if something unexpected happens? Are we going to repeat the scene of Madara Uchiha leading the Nine-Tails to attack the village?"

"Don't worry, the Mangekyou Sharingan is enough to suppress the Nine-Tails."

"You've informed the Uchiha!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was low and deep, suppressing his anger as he questioned him.

Uchiha plus a tailed beast!

It poses a huge threat to the village!

Even if someone possesses both powers, the threat won't disappear if they don't have the intention to use them!

In the struggle for power, it's not about how to do it, it's about whether you can do it!

He quickly adjusted his mindset; otherwise, it would have been useless.

There's no point in getting caught up in the minutiae.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed further, "When exactly will the tailed beast transfer take place?"

Narukawa Uzumaki gazed towards the Senju clan's territory, a single, glistening tear falling from his eye: "Now!"

...

Inside a room filled with sealing barriers in the Senju clan's territory.

Each symbol embodies the wisdom of a wise sage of the vortex era.

Having completely given up maintaining the Yin Seal, Mito Uzumaki, though aged and with snow-white hair, remained dignified.

She sat on a soft couch, wearing the white kimono she had first met Hashirama Senju, with two snow-white talismans hanging by her ears, each engraved with a powerful sealing technique.

Tsunade and Kushina leaned against the soft couch, each holding one of Mito Uzumaki's hands, their eyes filled with tears and reluctance.

Uchiha Yuuki and Uchiha Osamu stood at the door with serious expressions, vigilantly sensing their surroundings.

Yuuki was a little lost in thought, and somewhat dazed.

The last peak of the previous era is about to end.

When future generations learn about this history through books, what kind of figure will come to mind?

Forgotten? Misinterpreted? Or remembered?

The elites of the Thousand Hands and the Whirlpool stood guard outside the gate, intercepting any uninvited guests who might appear.

Tsunade pleaded in a low voice, "Grandma Mito, wouldn't it be better to wait until Nawaki returns before transferring the Nine-Tails?"

Mito Uzumaki smiled gently and stroked Tsunade's head. "Death is the last stop in life. Don't act too out of line or ugly."

She instructed, "Nabaki has grown up. Yang is a qualified stonemason and an excellent teacher. I am at ease entrusting Nabaki to his instruction. Within the village, Nabaki needs a ninjutsu teacher. You can choose between Orochimaru or the Uchiha clan elder."

Mito Uzumaki gave Tsunade a few serious looks.

"Tsunade, you've grown up. The future of the village will ultimately be in your hands. No matter what the future holds, remember to make the choices you believe are right and that bring you happiness. Even if you can't lead Konoha to continue its glory, living a peaceful and uneventful life is still a valid choice."

“Tell Rope Tree that he did a great job and that Grandma has always been proud of him.”

"Tsunade, the road ahead can only be led by you. Kushina and Nawaki, I'm counting on you."

"Grandma..." Tsunade sobbed uncontrollably.
