Be the mastermind behind the scenes from the ninja world

Inside the Uchiha clan.

As the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku was having a headache at the moment.

There is an old man in the family.

Yes, to him, Uchiha Izuna is this uncle.

Not to mention that the other party was an old man from the Warring States Period. After his rebirth, he looked not very old, only in his twenties, but he was too senior.

If the other party really survives, let alone strength, he will have to obey just a word of his seniority within the clan.

Otherwise, the various elders in the clan might tear him alive.

In addition to the reason of seniority, there is another reason, and that is the biggest headache for Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Izuna's eldest brother is Uchiha Madara, who once left Konoha and abandoned the Uchiha clan.

A legendary strongman who can be as famous as the first generation Hokage.

Once the other party notices a hint of their dissatisfaction with Izuna, I am afraid that Uchiha Madara, the former clan leader, will use the perfect Susanoo sword to chop the Uchiha clan into pieces.

This kind of pressure has made Fugaku's hair almost fall out for a while.

It was precisely because of this that he sent the two remaining old guys, including the First Elder and the Second Elder, to take care of Uchiha Izuna. At least his sincerity could be clearly felt.

The face-saving project must be done well, and Uchiha Madara cannot be given any reason to have an attack.

……

"Clan leader, Shisui is back!"

Fugaku, who was sitting in the office and thinking deeply about the development of his family, heard the voice coming from outside the door and responded.

Soon, Zhisui walked in dusty.

"Patriarch!"

"Ah."

After putting down what he had just been thinking about, Fugaku looked at Shisui, who was still covered in blood, and couldn't help but said: "Is this trip dangerous? You have already done it."

As one of the Hokage candidates, Uchiha Shisui, under normal circumstances, even if he leaves the village to perform a mission, the guards assigned to him by his family will take action. Shisui will not take action if he can.

After all, he and Hatake Kakashi are still competitive rivals, and they need to retain some trump cards in order to become the next Hokage.

"How do you say..." Hearing Fugaku's question, Shisui hesitated a little. It's not that he was a Hokage candidate, he was not a member of the Uchiha clan. Moreover, even if he didn't say it, he would follow him and act as his This Uchiha member of the Hokage candidate's bodyguard will also tell Fugaku everything.

It's just that... this mission, unlike those in the past, can be described clearly. The experience of this mission is too bizarre, so bizarre that Uchiha Shisui never thought that such a day would happen.

"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty? Is it the village's secret or something else? If it's the village's secret, don't tell it. By the way, when you leave, you also mention it to your guards and tell them not to talk too much and stay away. It's not far away that you will be running for the next Hokage, so don't leave any clues during this period..."

The Uchiha clan needs a Hokage so much. For the Hokage, Uchiha Fugaku will give up anything.

Even though he once disliked Shisui, his status in his heart has skyrocketed. For the first time, he has surpassed his precious son Uchiha Itachi.

In a word, the position of Hokage must belong to their Uchiha clan.

After all, this was the first and only time he was so close to becoming the Hokage. If he gave up at this time, he would never forgive himself.

"That's not..." Uchiha Shisui shook his head and rejected Fugaku's suggestion. After thinking for a moment, he finally organized his remarks and told everything that had happened before.

"It was okay when I started the exploration mission. I just encountered some monsters that had greatly increased their strength. The ninjas of the family, as I think you know, are all good in strength. Especially with the resources you tilted down, their strength increased quite quickly. , is almost no weaker than an elite Jonin, and even slightly surpasses it..."

"When we explored clearly three thousand miles to the southeast, we encountered a scene that we had never encountered in our lives..."

At this point in the story, Shisui's eyes trembled slightly, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

A herd of beasts as dense as a tide.

In the sky, on the ground, even deep underground, everywhere...

Even the interior of the canyon they had explored clearly began to change, and countless towering trees even began to come alive at that moment.

Not the kind of life that is full of vitality, but with wisdom, and wisdom like human beings.

Led by a thousand-year-old tree king, each giant tree's canopy directly covered the sky, and the smell like perfume sprayed by humans filled almost every corner of the world.

At that moment, Shisui and the four Uchiha clan members who were guarding him all panicked.

In fact, humans who have never seen that horrific scene cannot understand at all. The fear that arose in their hearts at that time was nothing more than grief. Yes, at that time, the five of them even seriously wanted to die there without returning. Konoha.

"Wait." Uchiha Fugaku, who had been listening with a frown, suddenly interrupted Shisui's narration. If it was true as Shisui said, then the five of Shisui would never come back.

Although he had never seen with his own eyes how terrifying the so-called monsters were, he could still hear part of the monster swarm that spread hundreds of miles from Zhisui's words.

Not to mention whether they have strength or not, even if they don't, just letting the five of Shisui kill them would probably be too exhausting for them to kill them all. This is even if these monsters have no strength.

As Shisui said, I'm afraid the five of them won't be able to come back.

"The clan leader... Senior Madara showed up. He seemed very happy. After seeing the five of us, he praised a few words and led us to kill all the monsters and return to Konoha..."

In just a few words, Fugaku felt the terror of Uchiha Madara.

The sky, the ground, and even the feet were blocked by monsters, not to mention there were countless monster trees spreading and biting them behind them. In this case, Uchiha Madara, the former clan leader, could still kill countless monsters. , and can even escape with Shisui and others intact.

This……

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly felt that his imagination was a little poor, and he really couldn't imagine how terrifying Madara, the former clan leader, was.

"I saw before that you were planning to go directly to the Hokage's office to find the Godaime. Is there something wrong?"

It seemed that his question aroused the fear in Shisui's heart, causing him to forget his thoughts for a moment and quickly reminded him.

"Oh, yes, when I came back this time, even if I didn't clean up the bloodstains on my body, I just wanted to tell Lord Fifth to be more vigilant about the monsters around me. If that didn't work, I would send the ninjas in the village to form an army to clean up the monsters around me. , we cannot let these monster beasts gather together, once they gather, then...the power is too terrible, and no human being can resist it."

After saying this, Shisui stood up immediately and without stopping, left Fugaku's office and headed to the Hokage Building.

Fugaku was left a little surprised.

Having never seen a tide of beasts, he couldn't understand Shisui's thoughts.

Even though Zhisui had previously said that the tide of beasts existed in the sky but not in the earth, in his past impression, monsters?If they were raised in the forest, it might be difficult for newly graduated ninjas to resist, but once they reach the level of chuunin, those monsters can be killed at will.

But Shisui was afraid, and why? Could it be that hordes of monsters could make a Mangekyo Sharingan and a four-pair and three-magatama Sharingan fear like this?

"Shadow, do you think Shisui's statement just now was exaggerated?"

At this moment, Fugaku said something very abruptly.

"do not know."

These words appeared in the corner of the office. The voice was cold and ethereal, but the person who spoke could not be seen clearly.

"Yes, it's useless to ask you. Since I trained you, you have been following me. I won't be able to tell with little experience..."

Fugaku smiled mockingly to himself, and then said nothing, but recorded the matter in his heart.

Regarding Zhisui, he did not believe that the other party was a big talker, so what Zhisui said was probably true, but he did not realize the danger in it.

……

"what?"

Tsunade, who was working on documents, suddenly raised her voice.

Looking at Zhisui in disbelief, he said seriously: "Do you know, I just held a high-level meeting recently and even issued a lot of orders. Recently, many ninjas in the village have been dispatched. Now, Do you still want me to continue summoning the village’s ninjas to go out and clean up the monsters around the village?”

"Yes, Godai-sama, the beast tide is too terrifying. Once these monster beasts really form a beast tide, apart from other things, the entire Konoha Village, except for a few people, will probably become the target of this group of monster beasts." COFCO…”

Shisui explained with fear on his face.

The entire Hokage's office was quiet. Except for Tsunade's breathing, Shizune and Hashirama even stopped breathing at this moment. The former looked at Shisui in disbelief, while the latter looked a little sad. He felt that Uchiha's junior , seems to be a little timid.

As a legendary ninja who captured a tailed beast with one hand, even the strongest Kyuubi can only occupy one of his hands. You must know that his 'Senfa, Wood Release, and True Thousand Hands' can possess a thousand hands.

A mere beast tide...

"Hokage-sama, how could I lie to you? If it hadn't been for Madara-senpai this time, I might not have come back. If you don't believe it, you can ask Ben-senpai. His words can't be false..."

At this moment, Shisui was very sad.

The idea that all beasts are weak has been deeply ingrained in their bones. In their minds, except for tailed beasts, chakra aggregates may be a little bit scary. As for the others, they are not a concern at all.

But... he had seen it with his own eyes, the tide of beasts that swallowed up everything in its path, like a tide, directly covering the sky and hitting the sun. Even though he had returned to Konoha, he still felt a little frightened when he thought of that kind of terror.

"You mean Madara brought you back?"

When the name of his good friend was mentioned by Shisui, Hashirama immediately became interested. He glanced at Tsunade and said directly: "Tsuna, then you continue now. I will go to the Uchiha family and ask Madara to see if Just like what Shisui boy said..."

Before Tsunade could react, Hashirama had already jumped out of the window, and soon Hashirama's figure disappeared from the street.

"Shisui, you have to know that there are currently less than half of the ninjas in the village. We still have to implement the previous plan, and maybe we have to continue dispatching it. Once I really agree to what you said, then the plan that was laid out before will be Abandonment, even if it is serious, will also endanger the safety of nearly half of the ninjas that have been dispatched."

"So, let's give up the idea of ​​cleaning up the surrounding monsters for now. After all, it's just a group of monsters and it won't do much harm."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she waved Shisui to leave the Hokage's office.

Looking at Shisui who was a little angry, Tsunade sighed, really not knowing what to say.

"Shizune, go to the Uchiha clan, stay with your grandfather, and listen to Madara-senpai's thoughts on the beast tide..."

Tsunade, like Fugaku, doesn't quite understand Shisui's thoughts, but as the shadow of a village, she still takes the lives of the villagers in the village at heart.

Anything that could endanger the lives of villagers cannot be ignored.

Even if she didn't understand, she still sent Shizune to Uchiha Madara to find out.

"Yes!"

Soon, Shizune placed the documents in her hand in front of Tsunade and went directly to the Uchiha clan's territory.

After being brought in by the Uchiha tribe, as soon as he walked outside the courtyard left by Uchiha for Madara, he heard the laughter of the First Hokage.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

Following Hashirama's opening, Shizune walked in.

"Sama Shodaime, Madara-sama!" Shizune asked very politely, and then said: "Tsunade-sama sent me to Madara-sama just to hear about the dangers of the beast tide that Shisui said."

"Oh!"

Hashirama responded, then waved to Shizune and asked her to stand next to him. Then he looked at Uchiha Madara and gestured, asking him to tell what happened to Shisui before.

However, at this moment, fate seemed to have made a mistake, drawing Konoha's attention in another direction.

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama grew up together, and later fought against each other for the sake of their families. It can be said that both parties know each other very well.

Especially as an opponent, the fact that Uchiha Madara couldn't beat Senju Hashirama has always made him worried.

Now, Hashirama is standing in front of him, whether it's for face or for character.

Anyway, in Uchiha Madara's words, what kind of beast tide and what kind of terrifying monsters were not mentioned at all.

Who is Uchiha Madara? He destroyed everything with a wave of his hand.

Monsters are just beasts after all.

Even if they gather together, can they still overthrow human rule?

Not to mention himself, even the five Uchiha Shisui could come back smoothly, and the reason why he took action was just to take care of the younger generation and let the younger generation see the true strength of his Uchiha Madara.

The arrogant Uchiha Madara doesn't know that because he pretended to be bi in front of Senju Hashirama, the result will be that the entire Konoha Village will suffer a big loss...

"Thank you, Madara-sama. I will reply to Tsunade-sama right now. The beast tide is nothing..." After listening to Madara's boast, Shizune kept her previous conclusion in mind, said something to Madara and Hashirama, and left the courtyard.

Returning to the Hokage's office, he recounted everything he had heard to Tsunade.

"Okay, Shisui's temperament... forget it, for the sake of the harmony of the village, the Uchiha clan has to be given the qualification to run for Hokage, but Shisui forgets it. Besides, the outstanding ninja of this generation of the Uchiha clan is not just Shisui. , Fugaku’s son named Itachi, it’s not like he can’t do it either…”

At this moment, Tsunade mentally kicked out Shisui's Hokage candidate.
