Uchiha's Blade

When Sandai arrived, he asked directly: "Where is the masked man?"

"Run away," Zana said: "I didn't expect that he had a companion, not to mention that he is also proficient in time and space ninjutsu, so I accidentally let him run away."

Third Generation: "...It's not that simple, right?"

Mana hummed: "From the tone of his companions, they didn't seem to be a two-person team, but had more people, so I let him run away."

"...and also gave him the Mark of Flying Thunder God, right?"

The third generation knew Mana's tricks very well: "Okay, I understand. Do you still need my cooperation in this matter?"

Zhenna said: "I have probably figured out the true identity of the masked man. I will ask someone to check it secretly when I go back. Don't tell others."

Sandai knew this very well: "Is there something wrong with his identity?"

The masked man has the Sharingan, which is indeed a sensitive matter at this time.

Mana said: "That is indeed an Uchiha person, but he should have no connection with the current Uchiha clan. It would be better to say... he has no good intentions towards the Uchiha clan."

"I understand."

Although the Third Generation has been criticized by Mana for being stupid, in fact, he has been firmly in the position of Hokage for so many years. Danzo has no other good methods to deal with him except for making some small moves, which indeed shows that the Third Generation's level is not very bad. .

When he heard Mana's words, he immediately knew what to do next.

Mana said: "Another companion of the masked man threatened me that Konoha may be attacked again. You should pay attention to this."

The third generation immediately called the Anbu and ordered strict security around the village.

After listening to his arrangements, Zhenna said: "The village's barrier also needs to be changed. How many years has it been since your current barrier was changed? It's been decades, but the core is still the same as in Hashirama-sensei's time. That way, there have been some rebellious ninjas in Konoha in recent years, right? They know how to enter the village, and your small changes are of no use at all."

Just like when Mana came back, even after decades, she was still able to cross the barrier of Konoha silently.

But when it comes to the matter of enchantment, Sandai is really worried: "It's really not that we don't want to change it, but that the difficulty of learning enchantment and sealing techniques is relatively high. It is currently impossible to make changes of this level." Leaf's limit has been reached. Ever since the Uzumaki Kingdom was destroyed and Mito-sama passed away, Konoha's barrier and sealing techniques have not made significant progress."

As for the orphan of the Uzumaki clan, she was actually the wife of the Fourth Hokage. After her death, Konoha had no hope in this regard.

Mana: "...I thought before that you were just running around in circles and not making progress, but now it seems that you have even regressed."

The third generation pretended that he was not talking about himself and said shamelessly: "Speaking of which, Mito-sama taught you for a while. How much do you know about the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan? After the fall of the Uzumaki Kingdom, a lot of information was sent to Mu Ye Lai, we have also arranged for ninja learning, but... the progress is not ideal."

Mana thought for a while: "I understand, let's put this matter aside for now. I have other plans to resolve the Uchiha matter first."

Sandai heard the implication.

Of course it's not that Mana is unwilling to teach, but her so-called 'other plans' will involve a lot of energy from her, so she needs to resolve the Uchiha matter first before she can do anything about it.

This made him click his tongue: "Can I know who will be unlucky next?"

According to the news from Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, had not slept well for several days. When he woke up this morning, he had a large bubble on the corner of his mouth, which was also miserable.

Zhenna glanced at him: "Why are you talking? Can this be called bad luck?"

"Ahem, then...who will be the next person to be so lucky?"

Mana: "Hinata, of course."

After solving the Uchiha problem, it was time to attack Hinata.

This answer was really unexpected by Sandai: "Hinata? The Hinata family has always been peaceful. Although they are not as eye-catching as Uchiha in recent years, they have also contributed a lot to the village. I have never heard of Hinata being restless. Action."

Mana: "...Give me the pipe."

She grabbed Sandai's pipe and knocked it on Sandai's forehead before saying, "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid with me? Didn't Lord Tobirama...wait a minute, he probably didn't tell you, Monkey, I blamed you wrongly."

Third generation: "...???"

Are you calling me stupid again?

Mana pretended not to understand his expression.

However, after returning, Uchiha Itachi came specifically to find her: "All the members of the Roots have been identified, but most of them were raised by orphans adopted by Danzo over the years. They have no names, no identities, and no family members. It doesn’t even have its own desires, it’s just a machine that executes orders. If you want to absorb such a person, the risk will be relatively high.”

"And what are your thoughts?"

Zhenna said: "Are you trying to persuade me to give up on these people?"

Uchiha Itachi said: "You don't have much foundation to begin with, and now is a sensitive period. Danzo has not given up and directly uses the words of these people..."

"Itachi," Mana pointed to the seat in front of him: "Let's sit down and talk."

Uchiha Itachi sat down somewhat cautiously. He looked a little nervous, as if he didn't quite understand whether he had said something wrong.

Of course Uchiha Fugaku is not just cooperating with Uchiha Shisui these days, he also specially investigated Uchiha Mana.

Considering the ages of the three generations and others, as well as the Uchiha mirror mentioned by Mana, Uchiha Fugaku specifically asked the few surviving old people in the clan.

After actually hearing about Uchiha Mana's deeds from the Uchiha tribe, Uchiha Fugaku understood that this was not an opponent that could be easily dealt with. Moreover, Mana was also an Uchiha after all. At least she seemed to be interested in Uchiha at the moment. None of the Bo clan meant any harm.

It's just that while Uchiha Fugaku was complying with Mana's plan, he also gave Uchiha Itachi a new mission.

Mana kept Uchiha Itachi by her side, and Uchiha Itachi could take this opportunity to observe her carefully and determine what kind of person she was.

Itachi Uchiha had somewhat complicated feelings about Mana.

This seems to be a person whose methods are more ruthless and more formidable than Danzo.

This can be seen from the fact that she returned to Konoha after many years, but was able to drive away Danzo just after returning, win over the Hokage and the advisory group, and hold the substantial power of Konoha in her hands.

But on the other hand, she seemed to be a very gentle person, and she had a loving heart towards the ninjas of Konoha that Uchiha Itachi had never seen in other people.

Just like this, there was only one reason why Uchiha Mana disagreed with Uchiha Itachi's proposal.

"The roots...no matter what, they are the ninjas of Konoha."

Mana said: "If I am unwilling to accept them, how can people like them survive? I am afraid that their future lives will be even more miserable than under Danzo, because their experiences are destined that no one in Konoha will trust them. They can only become blades and sacrificial cannon fodder, but isn’t this their fault?”

"The world today is still not beautiful. Because of this unhappy world, they lost everything and became orphans at a young age. Later, they were trained and raised by Danzo in cruel ways. This is not their fault. In fact, it is wooden. It’s Ye’s fault that Konoha tolerated what Danzo did, so these people must never give up.”

And except for Mana, no one would be willing to accept these former Danzo subordinates.

Uchiha Itachi slowly exhaled: "I used to think that you didn't care much about this..."

"The Hokage should not give up on any Konoha ninja. This is the Hokage's duty."

That's why she was dissatisfied with the Third Hokage.

There were more than one or two Konoha ninjas that he gave up in the name of the 'overall situation'?

Uchiha Itachi looked at Mana. The young girl's face still looked childish, and her pair of almond eyes made her look more innocent and innocent. But he felt that those black eyes like glass had also seen war and death, but But she still believes in peace, or in other words, she believes in peace more than the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage always had too much 'helplessness' and 'last resort', but Uchiha Mana did not have these.

Is this... the person who inherited the ideals of the first Hokage?

Such Mana gave Uchiha Itachi an impulse to trust.

"Lord Mana, I..."

"Itachi," Mana interrupted, "I don't need your loyalty, your loyalty can only belong to the village."

Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips: "Yes, I understand!"

"Then let's continue talking about the roots..."

Mana has a very simple way to deal with roots: "They are ninjas of Konoha, so let them truly become ninjas of Konoha. If they don't have names, give them names. If they don't have bonds, give them bonds. Give them new names and Identity, allowing them to live like a real 'person', as long as this step is completed, it is enough."

Mana rolled his eyes and showed a cute smile: "After all, no normal person would like to do errands for Danzo, right?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at her bright smile and couldn't help but really felt that there was hope for those people: "Well, I will do it."

He stood up, picked up the documents and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. He hesitated for a while before speaking: "Sana-sama, you... you stopped the Uchiha coup not just because you are also an Uchiha." Wave.”

"You did this because Uchiha is also a ninja of Konoha, right?"

Mana: "Otherwise, why do you think the Hokage and advisors are so cooperative with me?"

Itachi Uchiha bowed to her solemnly: "Thank you."

Mana waved his hand: "Okay, go to work! By the way, please tell the Uchiha clan leader that I will visit the Uchiha clan next."

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Are you going to...Uchiha?"

Mana said: "I am also an Uchiha. Go back and see what is wrong with the current Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Itachi had an intuition that she didn't just want to go back and have a look, but this was not something he had the right to refuse: "I will tell my father."

After Uchiha Itachi left, Mana began to think about it. Uchiha's matter was easier to handle, Hinata... From the fact that neither Senju Tobirama nor Senju Hashirama mentioned anything about Hinata to the third generation, Hinata's matter is the most difficult thing to deal with.

On this day, when Mana returned home, Uzumaki Naruto, who had finished school early, had already made instant noodles waiting for her. Mana didn't mind eating instant noodles, at least Uzumaki Naruto could put ham sausage and green vegetables in them. .

Uzumaki Naruto was slightly relieved to see her back.

The morning after Zhenna picked him up, he woke up but didn't see Zhenna, but he was frightened. He thought he had been abandoned, and even thought that the friendliness of the previous day was just a dream. That’s all.

When Naina came back that day, she saw a little fox huddled at the door, eagerly waiting for her.

After the two of them quickly destroyed the instant noodles together, Naruto spoke: "Um, Sister Mana, the teacher talked to me today..."

Zhenna thought for a while: "I want to tell you about finding a family to take care of you, right?"

"Ah, Sister Mana, you really know everything! You didn't even tell me!"

Zhenna said: "I decided the matter, of course I know."

Naruto suddenly became unhappy: "You just want to drive me away, right?"

Mana: "It has nothing to do with driving you away. The problem is that I can't take care of you, right?"

It is foreseeable that Mana will be very busy for a long time, and Naruto is not as mature as Teriya to be able to not only take care of herself but also other people's children. It is obviously unrealistic for Naruto to live with her.

But to Naruto, Mana was different.

This is the first sister who cares about him and expresses kindness to him!

"I don't want to go!"

Mana: "Don't you think about who the person who is going to take care of you is?"

Naruto snorted and turned his head: "I don't care who it is, it's definitely not as good as Mana-san!"

Mana: "For you, he is probably better... He is your father's student. When he learned that I was looking for someone to take care of you, he took the initiative to come to me and make a request."

Naruto was immediately attracted: "My father's...student?"

Mana nodded: "Your father is a very powerful ninja, but there are some things that I can't tell you until you are older. Now, wouldn't it be good to live with your father's students first?"

To be honest, Mana didn't expect that the white-haired ANBU who led her that night would actually be a student of the Fourth Hokage.

Although the ninja named Hatake Kakashi is very good, his lack of motivation always makes Mana doubt whether he can take care of children well.

Probably seeing her suspicion, Kakashi took the initiative to tell her about his relationship with the Fourth Hokage. It was this relationship that made Mana willing to hand Naruto over to him.

It was not easy to find a ninja who knew Naruto's background and was also very trustworthy.

Probably the only problem is that Kakashi is still working in the ANBU, so asking him to take care of the children will be a bit troublesome.

When Mana raised this point, Kakashi said that the Third Hokage had intended to transfer him out of the ANBU and into the ranks of ordinary ninjas in the near future.

That way it's totally fine.

For Naruto, the word 'father' undoubtedly has a huge appeal to him.

Zhenna looked at his troubled expression and said, "Can you at least meet him first before making a decision?"

Naruto hesitated for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, but what kind of person is my father's student? Is he very powerful?"

Mana: "How should I put it? He is a hard-to-describe person."

The only thing about Kakashi Hatake that Mana cares about is that he has a Sharingan, and those eyes were given to him by Uchiha Obito.

To be able to make an Uchiha willingly give away his eyes, Mana can imagine that the relationship between Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito must be different.

...Although Uchiha Obito didn't seem to have much affection for Kakashi due to the death of Nohara Rin, but if he really had no feelings, he should have come to Kakashi to take back the Sharingan. Eyesight.

Even with Wood Release Cells and only one Sharingan, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss to Obito's strength.

But Uchiha Obito never did that.

"So their relationship is really unusual..."

Thinking of this, Mana suddenly paused: "Wait a minute, if Hatake Kakashi's Sharingan comes from Uchiha Obito, the power of his eyes..."

At the same time, the leader of the Hyuga clan, Hyuuga Hiashi, received a report from the family ninja.

"Hizu-sama, Elder Danzo wants to see you."
