Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

"What are the results of the investigation?"

Uchiha Obito sat on the tree trunk, turning his head slightly to look at the pitcher plant emerging from the trunk of the big tree, "Have you found the whereabouts of that useless thing?"

"I found traces of using Wood Release, but they are just some traces. It is completely unclear what the fate of my senior was. Did he self-destruct? Or was he killed and his body taken away. From the investigation at the scene, These clues collected are not enough to draw a clear result!"

It was Bai Jue who spoke.

The new White Zetsu, who replaced the so-called senior in his mouth, was selected by Black Zetsu.

"Does this mean we are wasting our efforts?"

Uchiha Obito stretched out his hand and gently pressed the orange mask. This mask covered his true appearance and also covered his expression. But at this time, even if you couldn't see his face, you could still feel it. to his unhappy mood.

"Whether your efforts are in vain? You will only know if you have done it, and it is confirmed that Bai Zetsu may be taken away by Uchiha Munexun. This is a result in itself, isn't it? Obito." Black Zetsu's hoarse voice sounded.

"Stop fooling people with such boring nonsense!"

Uchiha Obito stood up, "Maybe, maybe, this kind of thing cannot be considered an answer at all. If Uchiha Sogenu gets White Zetsu's body and uses it... it will really cause trouble for people. !That useless thing!”

He was in a bad mood,

Bai Zetsu, that loser, couldn't even escape. He clearly had the Mayfly Technique but still made a mess. He regretted letting Bai Zetsu pretend to be Goji and Yagura to continue promoting the war between Kiri Ninja and Konoha. It is true that Konoha and Kiriha There were not many ninjas who endured casualties in subsequent wars.

But all of these combined are not as troublesome as Uchiha Sogenu alone.

Black Jue said nothing more.

He is also thinking.

If Uchiha Sogenu obtained White Zetsu's body and successfully used it, no, even without White Zetsu, Obito would have been defeated just by relying on the tricky Mangekyo Sharingan pupil technique. Uchiha Sozuru has acquired additional power... It seems that the plan needs to be modified to some extent.

Konoha left it to be dealt with last.

If Obito can't do it, let Madara deal with it when the time comes. Before that, try to avoid the monster Uchiha Sozuru. The Uchiha clan is really full of...monsters emerge in endlessly!Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Sogen, plus those Uchiha who were chosen by him over the millennium but failed in the end...his cheap brother really favored the eldest son!

It's a pity that there is no chance to completely deal with this clan for the time being.

Really

Pity!

"Okay, Jue, it's time to go. Staying here is just a waste of time."

Uchiha Obito used [Divine Power] and disappeared directly. Black Zetsu looked back at the nameless island again, and his body like a pitcher plant slowly sank into the tree.

----

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

The man in a hurry walked through the empty long street. Looking at the few pedestrians on the street, the man couldn't help but feel a little heavy. The situation in the village had always been maintained on the edge of reluctance, but the Yondaime insisted on launching a counterattack. The war in Konoha.

Sure enough, as the war broke out, all businesses in the village were in ruins.

The desolate streets and alleys made people feel extremely bad from early in the morning.

"I don't know how the war is going on the front lines. I hope the Yondaime can win!"

With this thought in the man's mind, he couldn't help but have some expectations. Just in case, just in case the Yondaime could gain an advantage in the battle on the front line and even win, he could replenish the village's lost vitality through external blood sucking. He was so excited when he thought about it. , the mood finally recovered a little, and the pace of the steps accelerated a lot.

Walking through the streets, he arrived at the south end of the village.

"Senior Young."

As soon as the man walked to the door, someone called his name. He looked up and saw a guy with short brown hair, wearing a brown coat, and a serious expression. He stood at the door and opened the door. "You are still on time!"

"Kwon Bingwei, how is Master Yuan's situation today?"

When Qing was talking, he walked over quickly, and the charms hanging under his ears shook even more.

"I just had breakfast and my appetite is still so good. I am so healthy and reassuring."

"That's good! Yuanshi's health is the most important thing. Don't let it go if there is any trouble. Even if it is a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter. As long as Yuanshi is still there, no matter what kind of trouble happens, the village will not change." As a senior, Qing mentors Kwonbei as a junior.

Although the age difference between the two of them is only four years.

"Yes, I remember it, Senior Qing."

Quan Bingwei nodded seriously and agreed.

"Where is Master Yuan now? What is he doing?" After walking through the door, Qing did not rush inside, but stayed at the entrance for a while, waiting for the strands of cold air on his body to dissipate, and then took off his clothes. Shoes hit the hallway.

"Senior Qing, the battle report from the front line was sent before you came. Master Yuan is reading the battle report in the tea room now!" Quan Bingwei answered Qing's question.

"Did it arrive so early?"

Qing frowned.

Battle reports are basically sent out every day from the front line. According to past practice, battle reports usually don't arrive until around ten o'clock in the morning. If there are any delays on the way, it is common for them to be delayed until the afternoon or even the evening. I haven't seen much in advance.

Delivered ahead of schedule. Did something happen on the front line?

"I gonna go see."

As Qing spoke, his feet became faster and he didn't need anyone to guide him. He walked through the long corridor with familiarity and came to the outside of the shoji embroidered with snake patterns. He knelt on the corridor and said respectfully: "Master Yuan, I am Qing."

"Oh! It's Qing! If you're here, come in!"

What came from the tea room was a trembling, hoarse and old voice. Just listening to the voice could not help but give people a feeling of dying.

"Master Yuan, please forgive my presumption."

Qing pushed open the shoji and saw a six-fold room. The tatami woven with rushes was fresh and clean. The decoration in the room was simple and tidy. There was a long table in the center. On the table, in addition to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, There is also a pot of green black pine with knotted branches on the corner of the table.

behind the long table,

He is an old man who has lost all his hair, eyebrows and beard. His old and thin body is hidden in the wide brown monk's robes, and there is a bright yellow half-cassock hanging around his neck. However, he is not a monk in the temple, he just practices at home. layman.

He could not leave Kirigakure Village behind and spend the rest of his life in a temple. He could only be a layman practicing at home.

correct,

This old man who gives people the impression that he could fall down if the wind blows is Yuanshi, the living fossil who witnessed the founding of Kirigakure Village.

Qing knelt on the tatami and walked to the long table. Then he assumed a standard sitting posture that could be called a model. He looked at Master Yuan respectfully and asked: "Master Yuan, I heard Quan Bingwei say A battle report from the front line was sent in the morning, I don’t know…”

"The battle is defeated!"

Master Yuan sighed lightly.

"what?"

Qing was stunned.

"The front line has been defeated, Mizukage-sama has signed an armistice agreement." Yuanshi half-closed his eyes.

"This... this is too fast! Mizukage-sama has already died in person. Even if he didn't win, how could he lose so quickly?" Ao was confused, and wasn't there civil strife in Konoha?What happened on the front line?

"The situation is very complicated, Qing, go and see for yourself!"

Master Yuan picked up the battle report that had been opened on the table and threw it to Qing. The old man was not strong enough and the scroll was thrown a little too close. However, Qing was still in his prime. A probing hand caught the scroll and he didn't care at the moment. He saluted and started to read ten lines at a time.

then,

Qing's expression changed again and again, and in the end he was completely stunned.

"It's so ridiculous, this is so ridiculous, it's just..." He shook his head, his tongue seemed to be tied up, and he couldn't say a complete sentence until he stretched out his hand He pinched his thigh hard, and the severe pain drove away some confusion in his heart, and he barely regained his composure, "Genshi, Master Mizukage said that he was controlled by a mysterious man with the Sharingan... this is that true?"

"I do not know either."

Master Yuan shook his head.

He opened his eyes slightly, looked at Qing, and asked instead: "Qing, have you ever seen Mizukage-sama with those eyes?"

"...No, it's better to say that I haven't seen Mizukage-sama very much in the past few years. Even when I report on work, I can't find a chance to meet Mizukage-sama. It's always been conveyed by the Shadow Guards... "..." Having said this, Qing fell silent.

I never thought about it before, naturally everything was normal, but now I have an idea.

Naturally, I noticed something weird.

"This time Mizukage-sama launched a war with Konoha, I originally wanted you to accompany that girl to practice, but for some reason Mizukage-sama vetoed your name and replaced it with Bi." Genshi. Another thing Qing said that he didn't know.

"It seems that our Mizukage-sama may really be controlled by someone."

Master Yuan sighed again.

Qing suddenly felt uneasy, fearing that this matter would affect the body of the Yuanshi. What should he do if he got angry? The Yuanshi was already very old, but he couldn't withstand the torment. For a while, even Mizukage-sama was a human being. All the manipulation was forgotten.

"Master Yuan, please don't be angry, your body is the most important..."

"Qing, don't worry, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect Lord Mizukage to be controlled by the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. No wonder his behavior has become more and more extreme in recent years. I was too careless. I thought Uchiha Haubara alone has exhausted the Uchiha clan’s centuries-old aura essence, but I didn’t expect that there would still be someone who could control the tailed beast.”

Master Yuan sighed again as he spoke. Qing looked very uneasy and racked his brains to think of ways to distract Master Yuan.

"Genshi, do you think Mizukage-sama was manipulated by Konoha alone? After all, to be honest, I have never heard of anyone from the Uchiha clan defecting from Konoha, and the Sharingan is not available to outsiders except the Uchiha clan. I can't afford that consumption." Qing guessed.

"Not Konoha."

Master Yuan shook his head very decisively this time.

"If Konoha manipulates Lord Mizukage, then they don't need to launch such a war at all. Even if it is to pass on internal conflicts, they can use Lord Mizukage to join forces against Kumo Ninja or Iwa Ninja. This is undoubtedly more in line with Konoha's policy. Benefit."

"And when I met Mizukage-sama, I felt his undisguised malice towards Konoha, or the hostility of the person behind Mizukage-sama towards Konoha. That was definitely not disguised. "Master Yuan said, closing his eyes and recalling the memory of meeting Master Mizukage, and nodded with certainty.

Qing was not depressed after being denied his speculation and inference, as long as Master Yuan stopped sighing like that.

"Then, Genshi, what should we do next? According to the battle report, it seems that the ninjas of Konoha will also come to Kirigakure Village. Do you want to?" He stretched out his hand and gestured for a beheading.

This time,

Master Yuan did not answer his question immediately.

Instead, he fell into a long silence.
