Uchiha's Blade

Mana feels that one of the benefits of ninjas is that there are some things they will never ask, no matter how curious they are.

She didn't hide much about her ability to travel to another world. From the Third Hokage to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, even those outside the Leaf Village, Nagato Konan and others knew about it.

But that won't be something she wants to trumpet, at least for now.

Therefore, she never took the initiative to talk about it to non-related people.

This time Uchiha Itachi was sent to another world to study by her, which was equivalent to suddenly 'disappearing' in Konoha.

And unlike Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi has always been with Mana, and he is very valued by her. He is a person who has been trained by her personally. He is also a genius of Uchiha, the eldest son of the clan leader, and he is still very young, so He suddenly disappeared, and someone would secretly guess where Uchiha Itachi had gone.

As a father, Uchiha Fugaku would of course make even more guesses.

Uchiha Itachi didn't even tell him any details before leaving. As a father, Uchiha Fugaku asked about Uchiha Itachi a few days later. Of course, he would not directly ask Uchiha Itachi where he had gone. He just said casually: "Sasuke, this kid, I haven't seen Itachi for a few days, so he keeps chasing me and asking where his brother is."

Mana knew immediately that he was curious.

Of course, as a father, there are also worries.

But she didn't plan to explain this to Uchiha Fugaku for the time being, so she smiled and said, "Itachi has left the village. I have a secret mission for him."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and immediately stopped asking.

This is ninja.

Even parents are not allowed to ask when a 'secret mission' is involved, unless Uchiha Fugaku does not intend to save face for Mana, or he suspects that Mana is someone like Danzo who wants to secretly kill Uchiha Itachi , otherwise he would never ask again.

Even if Uchiha Itachi really died because of a secret mission, it may be that due to the need for confidentiality, his family would not be able to learn any information related to the mission at all.

Mana felt that although ninjas had many shortcomings, at times like this, ninjas did make her worry less than other professions.

If in the slate world, she had a teenage boy suddenly 'disappear', it would be impossible to explain without giving an explanation to the parents.

Of course, this is just one benefit of being a ninja.

The ninjas also had their fair share of troubles.

For example, Sarutobi Asuma gives Mana a headache.

...She really has never seen anyone more rotten than Asma.

He was a good ninja when it came to tasks, but was completely incompetent in government affairs. Mana suspected that the Third Hokage might not have given him any training in this area before.

Even if you want to avoid suspicion, you won't do it like this, right?

In terms of government affairs, the ten Asumas put together are not even half as useful as Huirizai.

This is really not an exaggeration, it is a fact.

Maybe some people are just not cut out for this?

Even if Asuma can't be said to be bad, he is definitely far behind Mana's expectations. Mana can also see that he is working hard, and Teriya is also teaching him seriously, but the speed of progress is really too slow.

Zhenna sighed: "Forget it, I was wrong before. You don't really like this kind of thing to begin with. If I force you to do it, the effect will naturally not be very good."

But she could also imagine that if Asuma left the Hokage's office in dejection without accomplishing anything, I'm afraid the village would talk about him even more.

Although she complained a lot about the Third Hokage, she really didn't think she should pursue anything with the Third Hokage at this time. Besides, even if there was something good or bad, it was between her and the Third Hokage. Guan Asi What happened to Ma?It has nothing to do with other people. Why should Asma be discussed and wronged?

Asma said apologetically: "I'm sorry for bothering you. Alas, I'm not very good at this. The old man in the family has said that to me many times."

Zhenna waved her hand: "It's okay, you can't force this."

After thinking for a while, she asked again: "I remember you are wind and fire attributes?"

Asuma nodded: "The ones I currently master better are wind and fire."

Mana said: "Then I will allow you to choose a ninjutsu from the Book of Sealings. If you have any questions, you can ask me. To be honest, I have seen the development process of most of the ninjutsu in it."

...Most of the ninjutsu in it were contributed by the Second Hokage.

Asuma was interested in learning Ninjutsu. His eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said, "Isn't this good? Although the Book of Sealing allows any ninja in the village to learn it, it generally has a negative impact on the village." Contributing ninja, I have just become a jounin, so it is too early to read the book of seals, and it is not good to let others know."

Of course Asuma also wants to read the Book of Sealings, but this was something that the Third Generation told him when he was in power. Just because he is the son of the Hokage, he wants to read the Book of Sealings more demandingly than others. High talent will do.

Now that the third generation is no longer Hokage, Asuma has not lowered his requirements for himself.

What's more, what he said is correct. He has not been a jounin for a long time, and he has not done any tasks that have particularly contributed to the village. Based on his qualifications and merit, he is not qualified for any of them.

Zhenna smiled and said: "Look, isn't this very appropriate of you? Why don't you do things like this on weekdays?"

Asma smiled heartily and said, "I only have this little cleverness."

Zhenna said: "You are right, it is really not good to let you read the sealed book directly."

As she spoke, she pulled a piece of paper from the side and started writing.

Asuma raised his head and saw that they were all names of ninjutsu.

Mana said while writing: "I know all these ninjutsu. There is no need to read the book of seals. You can learn it by yourself. By the way, did the monkey pass the psychic scroll to you?"

Reading the Book of Sealings requires qualifications, but it doesn't apply to Mana teaching ninjutsu herself. She can teach ninjutsu to whomever she likes if she knows it herself.Besides, this makes her attitude toward Asuma even more obvious.

It's not like she took advantage of her Hokage authority to read the Book of Sealing first, and then taught Asuma her ninjutsu. She learned her ninjutsu from her own teachers and family elders, and she could teach it to anyone with confidence.

Moreover, Mana knows that the Sarutobi clan has a psychic scroll about the monkey demon. The monkey demon is a very powerful psychic beast with various abilities and can provide ninjas with a wealth of assistance methods. Moreover, no matter how powerful other psychic beasts are, It is also impossible to form seals, and the use of ninjutsu can only rely on racial talent. However, the monkey demon can form seals and use ninjutsu like a ninja.

If the third generation passes the monkey demon's psychic scroll to Asuma, Mana can help Asuma tailor several tactics based on this, which can greatly improve his strength.

Unfortunately, Asuma shook his head and said, "Not yet. It's not yet... it's not time yet. It's too early for me to use the monkey demon now."

Mana: "...That's not wrong."

It's just a little surprising.

The third generation really didn't give this son any special treatment.

For example, the current Sarutobi Asuma is at the level of an ordinary jounin, but if he gets the monkey demon's psychic scroll, he will immediately be able to reach the top of the jounin pyramid.

Although using the monkey demon is a shortcut, in order to polish Asma, it would be better to let him improve his strength for a while before signing the contract with the monkey demon, but it is not that there are no other ways to make up for it. Asma looks at it. He is not the kind of person who will stop practicing hard after signing up for the Ape Demon. The third generation's approach is certainly safe, but if it is too safe, it will appear to be too conservative, which is not good.

While Mana was thinking this, he handed the paper filled with the names of ninjutsu to Asuma: "Take it back and read it. If anyone wants to learn it, tell me. If there are any ninjutsu that you are not familiar with, just ask Monkey, he will probably do it." I know the effect, but as for talking about the ape demon... I'll go tell him."

When it comes to taking shortcuts to cheat, Uchiha's Sharingan is called cheating. Under the same strength, Uchiha with Sharingan can almost stabilize other ninjas without Sharingan, especially the Mangekyo Sharingan. Once the eye is opened, , he can instantly become one of the top warriors in the ninja world.

In addition to being blinded by using too much, the Mangekyo Sharingan has not been seen to drag down Uchiha's strength. On the contrary, Uchiha who can become top powerhouses, such as Uchiha Madara, or Uchiha Izuna, even if they do not use writing Rinnegan, they are still powerful ninjas.

Although the psychic beast is a foreign object, who can say that the cooperation with the psychic beast is not the strength of the ninja?

The same psychic beast may not be easy to use by another person, and it is not that easy to use the psychic beast well.

If the Kyuubi wasn't still sealed in Uzumaki Naruto's stomach, and Mana hadn't found a safe way to pull out the tailed beast yet, she would have gotten the Kyuubi out long ago.

She still has Kyuubi's psychic scroll in her hand. Why not use a psychic beast that is useful?

Of course, let’s leave the matter of the psychic beast and Asuma aside for the time being, since Naina has more important things to do today.

Previously, Teriya expressed his willingness to officially join Konoha, and of course Mana agreed. Originally, this matter only required the Hokage's consent. However, Mana established the Konoha Council and delegated a lot of power to the Council. For example, Teriya joined Konoha. It doesn't matter if Mana alone said this.

But she has the right to ask the council to discuss a certain issue.

So that afternoon, Mana personally took Teriya to the meeting room of the Konoha Council.

The office of the Council is located in a row of houses next to the Hokage's small building. The conference room is also in a simple style common in major ninja villages, without the bells and whistles of the slate world.

To be honest, it's a bit ugly.

But ninjas have always been such a hard-working profession. As long as it is practical, it doesn't matter whether it is ugly or not.

Mana appeared in person with Teriya, which caused many people to secretly exchange glances.

It was the Hokage who proposed that a boy named Utanyashiki Teriya join Konoha and become an official Konoha villager. Now the Hokage has personally brought him here. The meaning of this...

Mana ignored the little actions of those people and said with a smile: "Don't be formal, everyone. I am just accompanying Mana Uchiha here today in his personal capacity and as Teriya's friend. I am not considered the Hokage, so you don't need to pay too much attention to me."

That's what I say, but who really doesn't care?Isn't that stupid?

But everyone had to give Mana some face, so everyone cooperated and showed relaxed expressions.

Among the thirteen seats in the Konoha Council, there are currently two Uchiha and one Hyuga. Hinata's seat was given to Hinata after Mana discussed with the Uchiha clan after the caged bird incident.

Uchiha originally had a fixed permanent seat, and worked hard to get two other non-permanent seats. Now the one given to Hinata is naturally a non-permanent seat. If Hinata wants to get the same treatment, he will have to wait until next year for the Konoha Council to be reorganized for a trial period. It’s time to work harder.

The member of the Hyuga clan was a rather young Hyuga elder, and among the two members of the Uchiha clan, one of them was one Mana had met.

It was Uchiha Fugaku's wife, Uchiha Mikoto.

Speaking of which, Uchiha Mikoto was also a very capable ninja, but after getting married, she retired from the active ninja ranks because of her husband and focused on taking care of her family.

She has a gentle personality and is approachable. Zhenna feels that she is a person who can gain everyone's favor more than those clan members who look proud and have high aspirations.

She once mentioned this to Sasuke by chance, saying that if Uchiha Mikoto participated in village affairs, she would probably win the hearts of the villagers more than Uchiha Fugaku. It was just a casual mention, but who knew that Sasuke actually said this to Uchiha Mikoto when he returned? .

Uchiha Mikoto was also a little moved. Uchiha happened to have a seat in the Council, so she came to give it a try, and the effect was really good.

Although she is gentle, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She cannot give in easily, but she can always stand in the perspective of the other person, consider the other person's difficulties, and seek solutions instead of being tough and arrogant. This makes her a popular choice in the political council. He was very popular in China, and many people said privately that the Uchiha clan also had such kind and amiable people, and they thought that everyone in their clan was arrogant.

... Even if he is not arrogant to the point of arrogance, he must have a strong character and cannot be disobeyed easily.

Just like Uchiha Mana.

Comparing the fifth generation Hokage with the previous third generation Hokage, everyone felt that the Uchiha Hokage was quite tough and not easy to mess with.

Therefore, people like Uchiha Mikoto are rare.

Everyone chatted casually for a few words, and then officially started talking about Teriya's affairs.

Zhenna smiled: "Since it's business, I can't stay here since I'm a private person. I'll wait in the reception room outside."

Then he said to Teriya: "Don't be afraid, we people in Konoha are very warm and friendly. When it is over, I will take you to eat meatballs to celebrate."

After saying that, he didn’t ask anyone to stay and went out by himself.

The others who stayed behind looked at each other and felt that there was no need to discuss this. Didn't the Hokage already make his attitude clear?

The fifth generation is not the third generation, so it is not that easy to talk to.

What's more, the Konoha Council is a newly established department, and its power relies entirely on the support of the Hokage. There are established forces in the village who don't like them. How can the Council oppose the Hokage at this time?Besides, this is not something that harms Konoha's interests.

So everyone didn't say a word nonsense, just pretended to discuss it for a few words, and then voted quickly.

The whole journey takes less than 15 minutes.

Before Mana finished her cup of tea, Teriya came out.

Zhenna waved to him without asking the result at all: "Shall we go eat meatballs?"

Teriya nodded: "Okay, I have always heard you say that Konoha's three-color meatballs are delicious. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Mana looked at Uchiha Mikoto again: "Mrs. Mikoto, let's go too. Just in time, I asked someone to call Sasuke. He has made great progress in the practice of changing the nature of chakra recently. I have to praise him."

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and said: "That is naturally the best."

So they talked and laughed and went to the meatball shop together happily.

A little later, Uchiha Fugaku returned home and saw only an empty house.

Then someone from the Hokage Anbu informed him that neither Uchiha Mikoto nor Uchiha Sasuke would come back for dinner.

Uchiha Fuyue: "???"

So, not only is the son gone, but this time the wife is also gone?

"Blade of Uchiha"
