Uchiha's Blade

Qin Shen reminds you: Please bookmark () after reading it, so that it will be more convenient to read it again.

Mana mobilized his ANBU on a large scale and made no secret of it. Such a big move naturally attracted attention.

Less than two hours after Uchiha Itachi left, the third generation came to Mana's office to look for her.

Currently, Mana's office is still in the Hokage Building. The original root did have its own place, but Mana feels that the decoration there is too unpleasant, and there is a dark and depressing atmosphere everywhere. At first glance, it doesn't look like a serious organization. place, so it was simply renovated.

Before the decoration is completed, she will probably have to work in the office of the Hokage Building.

This makes it particularly convenient for Sandai to find her.

Mana was writing an application when the third generation came over. When he saw the third generation coming, he immediately smiled and said, "You came just in time. I need you to approve a place here and a certain amount of funds."

The third generation signed casually and then asked: "Itachi Uchiha suddenly left the village with nearly twenty ANBU. What do you want to do?"

Mana suddenly made such a big move, and the third generation was nervous.

He wasn't worried about what Mana was going to do. No matter what he was going to do, Mana was always more measured than Danzo.

What Sandai is worried about is whether this matter will involve him, right?

With his old arms and legs, he is just waiting to retire now. He really doesn't want to be criticized like a primary school student anymore, but he can't refute it yet.

No matter how I think about it, I feel a bit miserable.

Zhenna said: "Speaking of which, this matter does have something to do with you..."

Sandai's whole body trembled, and he suddenly felt that the nightmare he least wanted to face was coming.

Zhenna ignored his expression and continued: "I went out and killed Orochimaru, but there are some things in his secret base that need to be dealt with. Those scrolls and experimental records must be brought back to Konoha for sealing, and the instruments must also be transported. Come back... Seriously, have Konoha's instruments not been replaced in 800 years? They are extremely old. Orochimaru, a rebel, uses many times better tools than Konoha, and he is reluctant to invest money in research. How can this produce results?"

Although those instruments and equipment are indeed a bit expensive, the money must be spent.

The Third Generation never expected that Mana would actually say this: "Orochimaru...is dead?"

It was almost difficult for him to accept this reality.

Although Orochimaru was the student who saddened him the most and even became a rebel, Orochimaru showed extraordinary talent since childhood. He was once the student who invested the most attention and emotion in the three generations.

It's probably because people tend to miss the past more as they get older, and the third generation does still have some feelings for Orochimaru.

but……

"...Dead, that's fine, that's fine."

The third generation sighed: "He took the wrong path, at least now he will not continue to make the same mistake."

As a teacher, he cannot correct his students who have gone astray. The result now is not that bad.

Mana said: "In addition to these, there are many children in Orochimaru's place, most of them are orphans. It is not good to leave them alone. I mean, take them to Konoha to raise them."

The children selected by Orochimaru are all at least talented enough to be ninjas. Such children are still orphans. If Konoha doesn't bring them back, other villages will take them back if they find them in the future.

The third generation nodded: "That's no problem... Is this why you said you needed space and funds?"

Mana said: "The amount of money to spend is not small. Orochimaru has more than one base. Next, we have to deal with it quickly before the news spreads in the ninja world."

So in the next period of time, not only the ANBU of Konoha were very busy, but Mana was also very busy. She divided into several shadow clones and came out, using the convenience of the Flying Thunder God Technique to destroy several of Orochimaru's bases in the shortest possible time. It was completely dismantled.

As for whether any fish slipped through the net...it's hard to say.

I am afraid that no one except Orochimaru himself knows how many secret strongholds he has. What Mana can deal with are only those places that can be found from intelligence.

Fortunately, if there is really a fish that slipped through the net, it should be in a very secret place, so there is no need to be too anxious about this.

As for the children brought back from Orochimaru's base, Konoha has its own process for taking in orphans, so Mana doesn't have to worry about them.

What needs to be worried about is that Orochimaru is really good at demagoguery, and some of these children are die-hardly loyal to Orochimaru.

Mana looked at the gray-haired young boy in front of him and sighed: "My name is Kimimaro? The orphan of the Kaguya clan?"

The young boy, who is only 11 years old, even his voice is still childish, but his eyes are full of determination: "I don't want to stay here, I want to leave!"

For Kimimaro, he did not hate Mana for 'killing' Lord Orochimaru, but he knew that he was currently unable to resist him.

Not to mention Mana, even the boy named Uchiha Itachi couldn't resist.

Although he was only two years older than him, the gap in strength made Kimimaro feel that it would be almost impossible for him to catch up with him in two years.

Just like when he was in the base before, his attack on Uchiha Itachi was defused by the other party lightly. The other party even used such a condescending tone, just like the tone of a senior treating a junior, saying that he was a good seedling and that he would be brought back to Konoha for good. If you train him, you might be able to become Mana-sama's right-hand man in the future.

Bah, who wants to be an assistant to Uchiha Mana!

But now, Kimimaro knew that he could not resist so fiercely.

Although he lost to Uchiha Itachi, and was far inferior to Uchiha Mana, he kept the most important thing from being exposed.

Curse mark.

This is Kimimaro's only hope.

Before this hope is dashed, he must be more careful.

Because he understood that he was not the only one with the curse seal. Sooner or later, Konoha would discover the secret of the curse seal. At that time, Konoha would never let him go.

If you want to leave, you have to take advantage of now.

Therefore, at this time, Kimimaro said in an extremely firm tone: "I was originally from the Kingdom of Water, and was later saved by Lord Orochimaru. Therefore, no matter what aspect, I cannot serve Konoha, serve You who killed Orochimaru-sama.”

When he said these words, even though Kimimaro tried his best to restrain himself, there was still hatred in his tone, and the ANBU next to Mana immediately looked at him defensively.

But such a tone of hatred made Mana understand: "So, because you worship Orochimaru, you can't live in peace with me who killed him? This is indeed a problem, so I agree to your leaving."

Kimimaro was a little surprised to achieve his goal so easily: "Do you really want to let me go? I may take revenge on you, or I may work for other villages."

Mana said: "It makes no difference. Before that, you were just a child bewitched by Orochimaru and a victim in my eyes. Therefore, if you are unwilling to stay in Konoha and let me be responsible for you, of course you can choose to leave. No People have the right to stop you.”

Even Kimimaro didn't expect these words.

He began to feel that Uchiha Mana was not so useless.

She indeed deserves the loyalty of a strong man like Itachi Uchiha.

Just when Kimimaro turned to leave, Mana suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute."

Kimimaro's heart tightened, and he was a little worried that she was going to regret it, but he heard Mana say: "You probably don't have much money on you. It's not okay to live outside without money. Itachi, take him to get some money and then send him away."

Kimimaro pursed his lips and finally whispered thank you to Mana.

Uchiha Itachi moved very quickly. He would only be back for half an hour, but there was obvious disapproval on his face: "Sana-sama, you shouldn't let him go so easily."

Uchiha Itachi felt that Kimimaro was a dangerous person. That child indeed had talents far beyond ordinary people, and his blood inheritance ability was also very powerful. At the same time, he also harbored hatred for Konoha and Mana. How could such a dangerous person be so casual? Let him leave?

No matter how soft-hearted Uchiha Itachi is and longs for peace, he is still a ninja who grew up in war. His desire for peace is true, but in the face of this threat, he can also eliminate it without mercy.

Mana said: "I have no reason to keep him, not to mention... Itachi, I hope you can control ANBU for me in the future, but your current behavior is not acceptable."

Uchiha Itachi was stunned: "You mean..."

Mana put down the pen in his hand to sign the document and said: "Have you not considered why he admires and admires Orochimaru so much and has a clear hatred for me, but has no aggressive behavior at all? He came to Konoha. You have always been very submissive all the way, including after coming to Konoha, right? This is not what a sad and hateful person should look like. I fully understand the feeling of losing an important person, so I am even more worried."

The first time she traveled to another world, she witnessed with her own eyes the moment Senju Hashirama 'killed' Uchiha Madara behind her back. The grief at that moment made her almost lose all reason. It was such intense emotions. Inspires the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But after that, Mana was just like Kimimaro now. They all carefully restrained all their excessive emotions, just because for them, there were more important things.

For Mana at that time, what she saw in another world was the hope and infinite possibilities of peace in her own world. She could not indulge in her emotions because she had to use her best to seize this opportunity. , that is the dream of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the dream called peace.

So what is so important to Kimimaro now that he can suppress all sadness and hatred?

"Itachi, that child must know something that we don't know yet."

Uchiha Itachi said: "In that case, why did you let him leave? This information must be related to Orochimaru. You should at least ask for this information before letting him leave."

Zhenna said: "He will never say that, and he left so eagerly that he was unwilling to wait for a moment longer. This must be because every moment of delay will make the situation more unfavorable to him. Itachi, please pay close attention during this time." He, and the other children brought back from Orochimaru, this secret will not be hidden for long."

Uchiha Itachi began to feel that he was too stupid. He thought a little sadly that he could not help Mana-sama like this, but instead asked her to teach her all the time.

Probably seeing that Uchiha Itachi was in a low mood, Mana said softly to him: "You don't have to feel lost. No one is born with everything. Although I shouldn't criticize the Fugaku clan leader in front of you, but... You’ve certainly grown quite well.”

The clear meaning of these words is that Uchiha Fugaku's level is too poor, and Uchiha Itachi is not taught to be like that, so he is considered very good.

Uchiha Itachi thought of his father who was full of 'Uchiha Mana conspiracy theories' and sighed: "Father is a little obsessed, but he will eventually understand you."

Zhenna nodded: "I have never doubted this."

So on this day, Uchiha Itachi's work was completed, and when it was time to get off work, Mana sent someone to give him a book to encourage him.

Holding the book sent by Mana, Uchiha Itachi was a little embarrassed. He was determined to study hard, but he was not making any progress. It was unacceptable for Mana-sama to worry about him.

He wants to grow into a man that Mana-sama can trust and rely on.

Mana thought of another thing. After she finished handling the day's affairs, she flew to Thunder God to Orochimaru's base in Tiannokuni.

At this time, Xiaonan and Nagato are managing here.

Regarding Mana's arrival, both Konan and Nagato were a little surprised, but there was one thing that was better, that was Mana's medical ninjutsu was very trustworthy.

After Mana checked Nagato and confirmed that his eyes were in very good condition, as if they were his natural eyes, Konan finally breathed a sigh of relief and then asked: "You didn't come here just for this."

Mana nodded: "Have you heard any news about Uchiha Obito recently?"

Nagato: "We still have some connections in the Land of Rain. According to the news coming back from there, Akatsuki's state seems to be a bit unstable. Although Kakuzu has not made a clear announcement, he is basically in a semi-detached state. As Hidan, as His partner, who doesn’t have much loyalty to the organization, should also be with him at the moment.”

Konan was very concerned about Uchiha Obito claiming to be Uchiha Madara and deceiving him for so long, and now added: "Uchiha Obito has no means of managing an organization... Actually, Nagato and I don't have much, either. Our economy is mainly maintained by Kakuzu, and now that Kakuzu is gone, Uchiha Obito alone cannot sustain it."

Apart from Kakuzu, there is no one else in the organization who is good at handling financial issues.

To be honest, they were a rebellious ninja organization that tried to subvert the existing order of the ninja world. They really didn't care much about this kind of thing before.

Nagato said: "Uchiha Obito should be busy stabilizing his position now. After all, 'Penn' is the leader of the organization. With Payne disappearing, Uchiha Obito will not be able to regain the trust of so many people in a short time. The traitorous Ninja The suspicion is very high. At present, he should only be able to control it indirectly, but after the situation stabilizes, he will definitely recruit people again, and Kakuzu may go back again."

Mana nodded: "I see, Kakuzu is still a very important character... By the way, the Kakuzu you are talking about is the one from Taki Ninja Village? He is not dead yet."

Nagato was surprised: "You know him? Yes, Kakuzu once had a fierce battle with the First Hokage. Although he was defeated by the Wood Release Ninjutsu in the end, he was one of the few who could escape from the First Hokage's Wood Release Ninjutsu. Ninja, you are the disciple of the First Hokage, it is not surprising to know him."

Mana: "...Escaped intact? You mean Kakuzu?"

Her expression was so weird that Nagato also noticed something was wrong: "Everyone who knows Kakuzu has heard that Kakuzu was sent by Taki Ninja Village to assassinate the first Hokage and defected after the failure."

Mana: "...he escaped by himself...but it seems right to say that he escaped unscathed."

Seeing that both Nagato and Konan were a little curious, Mana explained: "I don't know what the Taki Ninja Village was thinking at the time. Maybe they thought it would be easier for Hashirama-sensei to take a kid like me with him? They It is true that Kakuzu was sent to kill Mr. Hashirama, but he was defeated by Mr. Hashirama. In fact, if you don’t compare it with Mr. Hashirama, Kakuzu’s strength was quite good at that time... Oh, I Continuing, after he was defeated, he was caught by Mu Dun. Don't look like this. Mu Dun couldn't even break away from Kyuubi easily. What's more, it was Kakuzu at that time. According to the rules of the ninja world, assassination in Kakuzu was First of all, it was natural to kill him, there was nothing wrong with it, but at that time Hashirama-sensei and I had just come out of the casino, and we were... a little poor."

In fact, he was so poor that he only had the clothes on his body. Mana was better off. Senju Hashirama even lost all the shuriken kunai and other ninja tools he carried with him. They were discussing to let Mana I was making some detonating charms in exchange for money to eat, and Kakuzu bumped into me.

"At that time, Mr. Hashirama said that Kakuzu can be considered a young talent... What do you two look like? Kakuzu was very young at that time. In short, he was a young man with great potential. Teacher Hashirama thought that he should kill Konoha and Taki. The relationship between the Ninja Village is completely irreparable, but if you let him go easily, it will look like Konoha is easy to bully. Then everyone will come to play the game of assassinating the Hokage, so I... Well, it's us, I I and Hashirama-sensei came up with a way to let Kakuzu pay for his own life, and he would set a price. If the price is right, we will let him go. If the price is not right, we will let him go."

Speaking of this, Mana became a little excited: "Kakuzu is indeed a young talent from Taki Ninja Village. He directly offered himself 7000 million taels. At that time, Mr. Hashirama and I owed 5000 million. With this calculation, we can not only pay back We could earn another 2000 million from gambling debts. We agreed immediately. Unfortunately, Kakuzu was just lying. Even when I traveled to Kakuzu, I couldn't pay back all the money. He still owed me 3000 million, so he didn't. I wonder if he replenished Hashirama-sensei later, if not, I will have to ask him for it next time I see him."

Xiao Nan: "..."

Nagato: "..."

Okay, I finally understand why Kakuzu is so obsessed with money.

If this happens, everyone will have some sequelae!

Mana was thinking: "... Speaking of which, prices in the ninja world have increased a bit in recent years. Should we include this proportion in Kakuzu..."

Nagato: "..."

Please let Kakuzu go!

Mana did let Kakuzu go, because she put the matter aside temporarily after she said it.

"Okay, let's not talk about Kakuzu. I have other things to tell you this time..."

Mana said: "It's not good to delay things at Obito Uchiha for too long, but Nagato hasn't recovered enough now. Losing the Rinnegan has a great impact on your strength, so I think you should go to another one for the time being. What about the world for a period of time? To be honest, I also have an organization in another world, and now it just lacks an acting leader who can manage the organization when I am away. And that world is what I once said, with a large population and a vast territory. The level of development is far higher than ours, and it has gone through wars but maintained peace on a large scale."

After all, Nagato had been in charge of the Akatsuki organization for many years, so Mana felt that it was okay to help him manage the clan.

After all, Teriya is a bit too young, and sometimes when faced with beings like the Green King, Teriya's benevolent heart will inevitably suffer some losses.

Nagato was really interested when he heard this: "If possible, I really want to go to a place like that."

Konan immediately said: "I'm going with Nagato."

Zhenna said: "The education level in that world is also very high, and it is much more popular than here. You can go to school there, and some things really need to be understood after going to school."

Nagato: "School...it's really interesting, I agreed."

Zhenna smiled: "It's great that you can agree!"

As she spoke, she took out a test paper.

"Come on, if you want to go to school, do the questions first. You are old enough to go to college at this age. Do you want to know more about advanced mathematics?"

Nagato: "..."

high number?

what is that?

Nagato looked confused at the test paper in front of him.

What kind of equations, geometry, algebra, calculus... At this time, Nagato seemed to be more difficult than the reincarnation eye.

... He had never been so sad when he controlled the reincarnation eye.

Mana: "... wake up, even if you are in middle school, you are already more than twice your age."
