The main Hokage man will only hinder my speed in making hand seals

The caravan was moving slowly forward, and the people in the caravan were talking and laughing.

They were discussing what products were selling best recently and chatting about the customs and cultures of other countries.

Uchiha Shisui woke up in this scene.

He subconsciously reached for the place where he placed his ninja tools, but found nothing.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes. He wondered if the eye patch was blocking the light, but then he remembered that it was because he had no eyes.

By the way, after he entrusted his eyes and the future of Uchiha to Itachi, he jumped off the cliff.

Aren't you dead?

Shisui was a little panicked. He should have died. If his clan members found out about his situation, a civil war in Konoha would be inevitable!

Where is this place? It seems to be a confined space.

"You finally woke up, how do you feel?" asked the person next to Shisui.

Judging from the voice, it sounds like a very young woman.

Shisui now has no weapon and can't use his body strength.

He cautiously probed: "Who are you? Where is this place? Why am I here?"

"My name is Jiang, and this is the twelfth caravan of Qing Kingdom. We found you in the river when we passed by Nanhe River."

"This is not Konoha?" Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that he's not in Konoha, so we can just assume that Uchiha Shisui is dead. I think with Itachi's comfort, the clan members will be more peaceful for the time being.

Jiang's tone was filled with deep disdain, she sneered: "Of course not, we have a dispute with Konoha, so we never trade with Konoha."

Entanglement? Shisui turned this word around in his mind and silently raised his vigilance.

He remembered that he was still wearing Konoha's uniform before he fell into the water, and his worst guess was that they had discovered his identity.

"My name is Shisui. I failed in my mission and fell into the Nanga River. Thank you for rescuing me."

Shisui thought, whether or not they were trying to dig out information from him, he had to be careful.

Shisui felt Jiang's eyes roaming over him, and then heard her sneer.

"Are all the Uchiha of Konoha so spineless now? They want to continue to be dogs for Konoha even after their eyes have been dug out?"

Her words were really harsh, but they also revealed two pieces of information: she knew he was a ninja from Konoha, and she also knew he was an Uchiha whose eyes had been gouged out.

"What do you want to do?" Shisui planned to end his life immediately and not give her any chance to get any information.

"Nothing, just leave when you get to the next town. It's up to you where you die."

Jiang snorted coldly and left the carriage without even glancing at Shisui.

Shisui froze in her attempt to commit suicide. Eh? Why was she suddenly angry?

So do you still want to die? Does she mean that he should die far away?

Shisui calmed down and continued to analyze his situation.

He seemed, maybe, possibly, probably, to have been saved by the "enemies" who looked down on Konoha?

The carriage shook a little more and someone got into the carriage.

Another young female voice sounded: "Drink some water first, then eat something, and you will get better faster."

"...Thank you." Shisui was a little confused.

If they wanted to dig out information from him, he was not being treated like a prisoner.

Shisui took small sips of the porridge, and the empty feeling in his stomach was slightly relieved.

He chatted with the woman who had just come in: "My name is Shisui, who are you?"

"My name is Qianye Yue, and I'm the caravan's accompanying doctor."

Chiba, doesn't sound like he comes from a famous ninja clan.

Shisui then asked, "I heard from Jiang that you are a merchant caravan from Qing Country?"

Qing Kingdom...sounds so familiar, he feels like he's heard it somewhere before.

"Can I ask, why don't you trade with Konoha?"

Chiba Yue smiled gently, and she kindly explained to Shisui: "Because we particularly hate Konoha, and the Uchiha of your Konoha."

Shisui's smile was a little hard to maintain. They were speaking so directly? Weren't they pretending at all?

"Why?" Shisui couldn't help but ask. There must be a reason for hating him, right?

There are so many reasons, Qianye Yue picked out a few important ones and said, "Konoha participated in the first three Ninja World Wars, right?"

"Back then, your first leader said he wanted to build a village and bring world peace, but Konoha ended up either being the instigator of the war or the promoter..."

"And there are the Uchiha from your Konoha, hehe." Chiba Yue was too lazy to say anything.

Even if Shisui was blind, he could hear the other party's dissatisfaction. Konoha did participate in every war, but there was also helplessness.

He was about to clear Konoha's name when he was interrupted by Chiba Yue:

"Okay, don't tell me those arguments. That's your business in Konoha."

Chiba Yue finally understood why Jiang left angrily just now. The Uchiha of Konoha was as hopeless as ever.

"Sorry... I have one last question."

Shisui remembered where he had heard of the Land of Purity.

In the family history book:

During the Warring States Period, disagreements arose within the Uchiha clan, and some of them defected with the support of the clan leader at the time, Uchiha Madara.

From then on, the Uchiha suffered a devastating blow and gradually fell into a disadvantage in the battle with the hostile ninja clan.

Later, Uchiha Madara killed his younger brother and stole his eyes, thus obtaining more powerful eye techniques.

Those Uchiha who defected went in search of the legendary country of purity.

According to the history of Konoha:

After the establishment of Konoha, Uchiha Madara defected and is suspected to have gone to the so-called Pure Land.

Later, Uchiha Madara made a comeback and attempted to destroy Konoha, but fortunately he was killed by the First Hokage.

That battle became known as the Battle of the Valley of the End.

Shisui quietly activated his chakra and asked his last question: "Jiang, is she an Uchiha?"

The descendants of those traitors back then?

"I advise you not to be impulsive." Qianye Yue kept smiling.

She stated the facts: "If you attack us, we will regard it as a declaration of war by Konoha against the Kingdom of Seiryuu."

"Although we advocate peace, we are not afraid of fighting."

In other words, he could start the Fourth Shinobi World War on behalf of Konoha, and the Qing Kingdom would attack Konoha for peace.

Shisui certainly didn't want to cause another dispute because of himself. The reason why he chose to commit suicide was because he didn't want to cause internal strife in Konoha.

Once Konoha is in chaos, other ninja villages will be like hyenas smelling meat and launch the Fourth Ninja World War against Konoha.

Peace will be shattered again.

Shisui silently released his hands that were forming seals behind his back.

"Good boy." Qianye Yue praised with a smile, then put away the bowl and prepared to leave.

"Excuse me." Shisui called her, "Can I see the leader of your caravan?"

Shisui still has many questions to answer, such as whether the Qing Kingdom really exists and why the Qing Kingdom accepted the Uchiha traitors?

Also...why do the Uchiha of Qing Kingdom hate the Uchiha of Konoha?

Qianye Yue agreed without hesitation: "Of course, but I hope you can think it through before you speak. Jiang doesn't like idiots who can't figure things out."

Huh? Jiang again? Shisui was still expecting it to be a duplicate name, and after waiting for a while, a familiar voice sounded.

"Tsk, what? Are you ready to die now?" Jiang's voice was extremely impatient.

Shisui gathered his emotions and asked earnestly, hoping to get an answer: "Why did you defect from Konoha?"

According to Chiba Yue, those who defected back then went there for peace, so wouldn't it be good for them to stay in Konoha and work together to create peace?

If they existed, I think they could influence the people of Konoha and make them less extreme, right?

"Are you crazy?" Jiang was so angry that she sneered. She really started to plan to drive him away.

"You, the Uchiha of Konoha, are complete traitors."

"No..." Shisui rubbed his temples in pain.

He discovered that the history he knew might be different from the history Jiang knew.

"I, I'm sorry, I want to know why you think that."

Shisui really just wanted an answer, whether it was defection or leaving, as to why they abandoned their own people?

Seeing that Shisui was humbly seeking advice, Jiang Ye temporarily put aside his dissatisfaction.

She talked about the history recorded in Qing Kingdom:

"Back then, Madara-sama and Izuna-sama advocated for the Uchiha to relocate in order to seek a better future."

"Unfortunately, this was strongly opposed by a portion of the clan members at the time, so the Uchiha was temporarily divided into two."

"Over the next fifteen years, more and more Uchiha left Nanga River and came to Qing Kingdom."

"The last remaining part is you, the current Uchiha of Konoha."

After listening to this, Shisui still couldn't understand: "Even if the truth is as you said, why do you call us traitors?"

Jiang felt that he was pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. Why did he call them traitors? Didn't he have any idea in his mind?

"Because you joined Konoha, because you betrayed Madara-sama, and because you are so pretentious but so incompetent."

The Hokage election that year was conducted through popular election, and Lord Madara only got one vote in Konoha.

What does this mean? It means that all those Uchiha have voted for Senju Hashirama!

"Because you chose to believe in the Senju, but you are dissatisfied with the outcome you have now."

Jiang sneered disdainfully: "As far as we know, you are planning a coup recently, right?"

"Again and again. How come you aren't complete traitors?"

If they dared to announce their separation from Konoha and set up their own faction, Jiangdu would look up to them.
