Chapter 55
"Master Tsunade, since I dare to say so, I must have a trump card in this regard. The Nidaime-sama's illusion technique is not good, but it does not mean that my illusion technique is not good."
As the voice fell, a strong Yin-style chakra appeared, and the three magatama in Uchiha Itachi's eyes began to spin rapidly.
"Hehe, kid, you are still as arrogant as ever. Even my second grandfather can't do that. You have to be so arrogant to say such a thing. I admit that the three-magatama Sharingan does have a great bonus in illusion, but the opponent is also an Uchiha clan, and has those legendary eyes. Do you think…………"Hiss~ You also awakened these eyes???"
Halfway through her words, Tsunade suddenly discovered that the three magatama Sharingan in Uchiha Itachi's eyes were spinning at high speed, changing into a strange triangular dart pattern. As the mortal enemy of the Uchiha clan, Tsunade obviously couldn't think that these were the beautiful contact lenses that Uchiha Itachi wore when he was young and rebellious...
Well, although this kid in front of her is indeed at a rebellious age... But isn't this too outrageous? At this age, he has awakened the Mangekyo eye technique. The Shura in the ninja world who is as famous as the great grandfather doesn't have such strength at this age, right?
"How about it, Master Tsunade? With these eyes, you shouldn't have no chance of winning, right?"
The only difference between me and that ninja legend is age and experience. Although I don't know why he hasn't aged yet, he is no longer at the best age for a ninja to improve his strength. I, like the rising sun, still have a lot of potential waiting to be discovered. In the future, I, Uchiha Itachi, may not be inferior to him.
"This... you have awakened this eye technique, does your father know about it?"
Luckily, I was idle today and said something extra, otherwise if this kind of fighting power fell to the old man's side, the result would be unimaginable. One Uchiha Madara is already in trouble, and with a pair of newly born Mangekyō Sharingan, how can it be played? Even if my grandfather were alive, he would not be able to save him. Fortunately, this kid changed his ways after my persuasion.
Is this considered saving Konoha in disguise? ? ?
"Father doesn't know about it yet, but I plan to confess to him when I get back."
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there's no need to hide this from father.
"Well, it is time to talk to your father. After all, we cannot work in isolation. For the Mangekyō Sharingan, your Uchiha clan must have the corresponding development secrets or something. I am sure Fugaku will not hide it from you. As for Uchiha Madara, let's wait until you can use these eyes skillfully."
Alas, I wanted to let this kid go undercover in the Akatsuki organization, but now this guy has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. If he is allowed to go, it may be a waste of effort. As the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Madara knows what the Mangekyō Sharingan represents better than anyone else. What if he kills people?…………
"Well... that's fine, I'll take my leave now!"
After paying respectful respect, Uchiha Itachi walked towards the clan with a lot on his mind.
………………
Konoha Center, Hokage Building~
"Shikaku, are you sure you're not kidding? Declare war on Konoha? How dare those guys from Kumogakure? How long has it been since the Third World War ended? Those reckless guys have recovered so quickly? This shouldn't be possible. Our Konoha hasn't even fully recovered from the rich land of the Land of Fire, so how can they survive in the Land of Lightning?"
Danzo, who was wearing the robes of the Fifth Hokage, looked at the urgent intelligence from the front line with an unpleasant expression.
"Um, Fifth Hokage, from the actual situation, Kumogakure should not have recovered its combat power yet. However, according to the recent series of losses and turmoil in Konoha, it is not surprising that the reckless people in Kumogakure risked their lives to come and take advantage of us."
It seems that Tsunade-sama is right. This elder Danzo has indeed changed a lot compared to the past. It seems that the previous actions were really carried out under the coercive control of the Third Hokage.
"What is their reason for starting a war?"
From the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the death of the Fourth Hokage, to the extermination of Sarutobi and other high-ranking clans, to the defection of the Third Hokage, in this situation, if the enemy is not a fool, they will definitely come up and take a bite, or at least come to taste the saltiness, but I didn't expect that the speed of the Kumogakure group of bastards would be so fast.
"Um...
the reason for the war was that Konoha had falsified the body of Hyuga Hizashi.
After several years of investigation, it was found that the murderer who killed the Kumogakure envoy was Hyuga Hizashi's brother, the current head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi.
Kumogakure severely condemned Konoha's behavior of playing tricks on Kumogakure and demanded that Konoha hand over Hyuga Hiashi and pay Kumogakure 2 billion taels of compensation.
The Land of Fire must cede one-sixth of its border land to the Land of Lightning for management.
"After seeing the end, Nara Shikaku didn't want to read it anymore.
With such terms, it was obvious that Kumogakure didn't want to negotiate.
…………
"Haha, good! Very good! The Fourth Raikage, that idiot, thinks I am some loser like Sarutobi Hiruzen? How ridiculous! I haven't been on the battlefield for many years. Do these guys really think I can't lift a sword?"
Listening to the conditions stated by Nara Shikaku, the wood release cells on Danzo's arm on the main seat became a little agitated.
"Lord Godaime, what should we do next? If a war really breaks out, the other hidden villages will probably take advantage of the situation. Konoha can't stand the joint siege of the other four hidden villages."
As the new Hokage's think tank, Nara Shikaku's brain is still very online, but the smarter people are, the more they think and the more they will take into account.
"What? Do you still want to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen's example and hand over Hyuga Hiashi like last time? I can't afford to lose face. You can discuss this matter with the Sixth Hokage after I die in battle."
Ignoring Nara Shikaku beside him, Danzo stared at the map of the ninja world on the wall and began to fall into deep thought.
"this…………"
If there is no compensation and land demand, it is not impossible to put Hyuga Hiashi in a cage and hand him over. Even the land and compensation can be discussed. If it fails, we can wait until Konoha recovers and then ask Kumogakure to pay us back ten or a hundred times. In terms of national strength, those barbarians cannot compare with ours.
However, these words can only be thought of. With the temperament of the fifth Hokage in front of him, he will probably be beaten if he can't say this. When the third Hokage handed over Hyuga Hiashi, this Danzo had already strongly opposed it. Now he wants him to hand over the Hyuga clan leader in person? It's impossible to think about it.
