Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Uchiha Kagezuki nodded slightly: "Lord Mito, I think the most important thing now is to take action as soon as possible. Perhaps you can use your influence to influence the Hokage and the upper echelons of the village, and use the power of Konoha to help the Land of Whirlpools. At the same time, I suggest that you write a letter to the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools to let him know of the impending crisis."

A trace of determination flashed in Uzumaki Mito's eyes, and she quickly made up her mind: "Kagezuki-kun, you are right. I will immediately discuss with Hiruzen and other high-level officials and ask them to help the Whirlpool Country. In addition, I will also write a letter to the Daimyo of the Whirlpool Country - my younger brother, telling him about the impending crisis and asking him to prepare for it."

Mito paused and continued, "Also, Shadow Moon-kun, you have a close relationship with the Senju clan. Although the Senju clan has disbanded, they are distant relatives of the Uzumaki clan and share close blood. I believe they will not ignore the crisis of the Uzumaki clan. If you can get them to help, perhaps you can gain more assistance for the Uzumaki Kingdom."

Kagezuki nodded in agreement, "Mito-sama, I will do my best to contact the Senju clan members and use their power to help the Uzumaki clan."

Mito smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Shadow Moon. I am really grateful that you can stand up at this critical moment and fight for a glimmer of hope for the Uzumaki clan."

Yingyue said sincerely: "Mr. Mito, this is my responsibility as a Konoha ninja. The Uzumaki clan and Konoha Village have a deep connection, and the survival of the Whirlpool Country is also vital to Konoha. I hope to do my best to prevent this disaster from happening."

After bidding farewell to Uzumaki Mito, Yingyue immediately took action. He first used the intelligence network of the Shadow Screen Organization to send a call for help to the members of the Senju clan, hoping that they could lend a helping hand and help the Uzumaki clan overcome this difficulty.

At the same time, Uzumaki Mito also wrote a letter personally and sent a messenger to deliver it quickly to the Whirlpool Country. The letter detailed the crisis that the Whirlpool Country might face and urged her brother, the Daimyo of the Whirlpool Country, to make defense preparations as soon as possible and keep in close contact with Konoha Village so that they could get assistance when the crisis came.

Uzumaki Mito also immediately went to find the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and asked Konoha to send troops to help the Uzumaki clan.

After Uchiha Kagezuki reported the intelligence that the Whirlpool Country was about to face a crisis, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly summoned the top leaders of Konoha Village and held an emergency meeting.

Attending the meeting were the Hokage's assistant, Danzo Shimura, and two advisors, Koharu Utane and En Mitokado.

The theme of the meeting was very clear - to discuss the intelligence reported by Shadow Moon and how to deal with possible crises.

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke first, his face solemn, with a hint of urgency in his tone: "According to the intelligence provided by Uchiha Kagezuki, the recent troop movements and weapons purchases of the major ninja villages are extremely abnormal, especially the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and the Hidden Rock Village. According to Kagezuki's speculation, they may conspire to launch an attack on the Land of Whirlpools, and it is not ruled out that they may also have plans for the Land of Fire. We must take action as soon as possible and cannot sit idly by."

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's analysis, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En looked at each other and then nodded in agreement.

Utane Koharu said: "Sarutobi is right, the Uzumaki clan has a deep connection with our Konoha Village, especially Lady Uzumaki Mito, who is the wife of Senju Hashirama. Her clan is in crisis, and we should help them."

Mitomon En also echoed, "Yes, if the Whirlpool Country is attacked, it will not only be a blow to the Uzumaki clan, but also a provocation to our Konoha Village. We must respond with practical actions."

However, at this moment, Shimura Danzo spoke up, and his attitude was completely different from the others: "Huruzen, I don't think we should be so hasty to take action. Although Uchiha Kagezuki's speculation makes sense, we can't conclude the intentions of the major ninja villages. Perhaps this is just a normal troop movement, and it may not pose a direct threat to the Land of Whirlpools or the Land of Fire. I suggest that we observe for a while and see how the situation develops before making a decision."

Shimura Danzo's speech made the atmosphere in the conference room become subtle.

Although his tone seemed calm and rational, other senior officials present could sense a certain hesitation in Danzo's attitude.

In fact, Danzo already had his own plans in mind.

As the assistant to the Hokage of Konoha Village and the controller of the Root, Danzo Shimura had long been aware of the unusual movements in the major ninja villages.

He knew very well how powerful the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques were, and he also understood that if the Uzumaki Country was destroyed, the inheritance of those sealing techniques would become ownerless.

Danzo secretly calculated that if he could snatch these sealing techniques in the chaos of the Land of Whirlpools, the power of Konoha Village would be further enhanced, and his position in the village would be more stable.

More importantly, Danzo has always believed that the power of the Senju clan is a threat to him.

Now both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju have passed away, the Senju clan has disbanded, and Uzumaki Mito is old. As a distant relative of the Senju clan, the existence of the Whirlpool Country has meant that the influence of the Senju clan has not completely disappeared.

Danzo was worried that if he continued to support the Whirlpool Country, the remnants of the Senju clan might rise again, which would be detrimental to his and Konoha's future.

Therefore, Danzo decided to conceal the information that the Whirlpool Country was about to be attacked, and even considered using the power of the Root to seize the inheritance of the sealing technique in the chaos of the Whirlpool Country.

However, just as he was about to further persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

With the reminder from Uchiha Kagezuki, Uzumaki Mito realized that the crisis of Whirlpool Country was imminent.

She knew that she had to show up in person to ensure that Konoha Village would provide timely assistance.

So, despite her advanced age, she resolutely barged into the high-level meeting in progress.

When Uzumaki Mito's figure appeared at the door of the conference room, everyone's attention was drawn to her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and other senior officials immediately stood up and saluted to express their respect for the spiritual pillar of Konoha Village.

"Lord Mito, why did you come here in person?" Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke first, his tone full of concern.

Mito had a solemn expression and stated his purpose directly: "Huruzen, I heard from Shadow Moon that the Whirlpool Country is about to face a huge crisis, and the major ninja villages may join forces to attack. I came here to ask you to send troops immediately to aid my hometown and protect the Uzumaki clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sensed the firmness and determination in Mito's words and immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, Lord Mito, we have already discussed this issue. I also think that the situation is urgent and we must rush to the aid of the Land of Whirlpools immediately."

Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En also expressed their agreement: "Mito-sama, we will fully support this decision."

Danzo Shimura's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Uzumaki Mito to come and intervene in person.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others had reached a consensus, Danzo knew that he could no longer object, so he had to reluctantly agree: "Since Lord Mito also believes that the troops should be sent, then I naturally have no objection."

The arrival of Uzumaki Mito completely changed the atmosphere of the meeting. Her decision made Sarutobi Hiruzen more determined to send troops to aid the Whirlpool Country.

With the strong intervention of Uzumaki Mito, the Konoha top leaders finally reached a consensus.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gave the order and began to prepare to send troops to aid the Whirlpool Country.

He knew that time waits for no one, and any delay could put the Whirlpool Country into an irreversible situation.

"Immediately mobilize the available ninja forces and prepare to support the Whirlpool Country." Sarutobi Hiruzen gave orders to the senior officials present, his tone full of determination, "No matter what, we cannot let the Uzumaki clan face this disaster alone."

Uzumaki Mito nodded in satisfaction. She looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Hiruzen. I believe that with Konoha's assistance, the Whirlpool Country will have a chance of survival."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said firmly, "This is what we should do, Mito-sama."
