After asking about some trivial matters in the village and learning that the Uchiha family had simply fallen into a difficult situation but was not in any danger, Uchiha You felt a lot more relieved.

As expected, killing Danzo was the right decision.

Even though the Root tribe fell into the hands of Mizuto Kado En, he was also infected by the power in the dark and became increasingly ruthless.

But it is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature.

Mitokado En is essentially a slow and conservative person. His actions and initiative are not even one-tenth of Danzo's.

When the blade weakened, the Third Hokage group's attitude towards the Uchiha family remained unchanged, but the degree of threat was greatly reduced.

After knowing the safety of the family, Uchiha You turned to look at Uchiha Ryunosuke and asked, "Elder Ryunosuke, is there any information coming from outside the village?"

When Uchiha Ryunosuke heard his name, he immediately stood up and answered respectfully: "There is a lot of information outside the village, but only two pieces of information are worth paying attention to."

"The first is that Lord Orochimaru stabilized the situation in the Kingdom of Rivers and led the Konoha ninjas to recapture all the lost territory, pushing the battle lines of both sides back to the capital of Rivers."

"The second is the Land of Rain. The demigod Hanzo from the Hidden Rain Village suddenly took action and killed Qingyan from the Hidden Rock Village."

When this was said, everyone was shocked and asked, "Who? Hanzo made a move?"

No wonder everyone was surprised.

Coincidentally, among the three elders present, Yuichiro and Yumi had both been to the Rain Country in the previous war and witnessed Hanzo's power.

The most surprised person was of course Uchiha Yu. According to history, Hanzo should not have taken any action at all, and had no reaction until the end of the war. He just got through the Third Ninja World War by giving up.

It was not until after the war that he was blocked by Nagato, who had recovered his strength, and was killed in the Hidden Rain Village.

Wait, Uchiha You's eyes lit up and he thought of a possibility.

A few days after he gave the fish balls to Konan, the Hidden Rain Village changed its behavior and launched a strong attack, even killing Qingyan, a veteran Kage-level ninja.

[Oh my god, could it be Nagato who did this? ]

[If so, that would be interesting. There is a new big player in the Third Ninja World War.]

[Now, Uchiha Madara is paralyzed, Uchiha Obito is still innocent, and Nagato definitely doesn't know what the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan is. After he occupies the Hidden Rain Village, will he still follow the style of secret activities? ]

While Uchiha You was letting his imagination run wild, the four old men were also having a heated discussion over there.

Uchiha Shinin had a worried look on his face, and said, "If Hanzo suddenly shows up, we're in big trouble."

Uchiha Yuichiro was poisoned in the past, and it was only thanks to Tsunade's timely development of the antidote that he was able to save his life and avoid being forced to undergo amputation.

He was very grateful to Tsunade, so he said, "Yes, now that Lady Tsunade is not here, who else in our Konoha Village can cure the poison of the Salamander?"

Ximi said: "As far as I know, Lady Tsunade left behind the formula for the antidote before she left, but so many years have passed, Hanzo wouldn't have made no changes."

Yuichiro waved his hands and said, "Don't think about it. The antidote formula is definitely useless. The poison used by Hanzo back then would change its toxicity every few days."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Xiya felt discouraged and said, "Yes, the toxin of the pure Salamander is just protein and enzyme. Although it is very toxic, it is nothing serious."

"The problem is that Hanzo and the salamander work together to quickly change the toxicity, so the antidote must be updated at all times."

Uchiha Ryunosuke got this information, but he had never experienced a poisonous attack personally before, so he did not take it seriously.

But now he understood that no one in Konoha Village could balance Hanzo's poison. Once a large-scale war broke out, a large number of Konoha ninjas would be poisoned, causing extremely serious casualties.

Ryunosuke frowned immediately, rubbing his hands and asked, "What should I do?"

Suddenly, old man Xin Yin clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "No wonder the medical department is in such a turmoil today. It turns out they are looking for a medical ninja who is good at detoxification."

Ryunosuke asked, "Uncle, do you think the village can select a suitable medical ninja?"

Uchiha Shinin shook his head repeatedly and replied: "Don't even think about it, absolutely not."

"Miss Tsunade is a special case. There are not so many special cases."

The four old men talked about this and that, and the question finally came down to one: "What should we do?"

Uchiha You shook his head and said, "It's actually very simple, just retreat."

"If we withdraw the Konoha ninjas back to the Land of Fire and reach an agreement with the Hidden Rain Village not to invade the Land of Rain again, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Yuichiro couldn't help but say: "But if this happens, the reputation of Konoha Village..."

Uchiha You asked back: "The ninjas of our Konoha Village risk their lives on the battlefield. Is it for fame?"

Yuichiro still felt something was wrong. He suppressed the discomfort of being stared at by Uchiha Yu and asked, "But if we retreat to the Land of Fire, how can we protect Konoha Village?"

Uchiha You laughed, and even laughed very wildly.

After laughing for a long time, he asked in a sarcastic tone: "Protecting Konoha Village, what kind of Konoha Village are we protecting in the Rain Country?"

"We are going to the Rain Country to compete for interests. We want to overwhelm the Sand Village and the Rock Village, maintain our reputation as the number one ninja village in the ninja world, and advertise for the ninjas of Konoha Village!"

"Now that there is a huge risk of loss, we should decisively choose to give up and protect the Konoha ninja as the most important consideration."

The four old men looked at each other in silence.

What Uchiha You said was irrefutable. If it was at the border or within the territory of the Land of Fire, there would be no problem in protecting Konoha Village.

But the current three battlefields, one in the south of the River Country, one in the north of the Soup Country, and one in the heart of the Rain Country, are all in other countries.

Waging war in someone else's country is indeed not about protecting oneself, but rather about competing for interests.

Since it is a fight for interests, we have to consider the gains and losses. It is natural to choose to retreat when the risks are too great.

Finally, Uchiha Shinin said: "In my opinion, the Third Hokage will never choose to retreat."

Uchiha You smiled bitterly and said: "Well, this is normal. The Third Hokage lacks the courage to make progress, so he will insist on doing something inexplicable, trying to prove that he is not a coward."

"If Orochimaru was still here, there would still be a chance to convince the Third Hokage to retreat, but now... it's impossible."

Uchiha You continued: "We can't control Konoha Village, so let's take care of ourselves first."

Uchiha Yuichiro asked: "Leader, what should we do?"

Uchiha You raised his right index finger and said emphatically: "If there is any call for ninjas to support the front line in the near future, resolutely refuse to go to the Rain Country."

"Don't worry about what the Third Hokage says. As long as there is such an order, you should make as much noise as possible."

"Perhaps Patriarch Fugaku will still choose to compromise. In that case, we will have to double our efforts and ruin this matter no matter what."

"I think the radicals might stand with us this time, and Fugaku will inevitably fail."

"Even if he agrees to the Third Hokage's request, he can only use his own people to fill the hole."

"We understand." x4

The four old men have all experienced a lot of blood and fighting, and have fought on the battlefield. They can understand the reasons and helplessness of Uchiha You making such a cruel decision.

Uchiha You finally emphasized: "The matter of the Hidden Rain Village is absolutely very dangerous. Even if it means breaking up, we must grit our teeth and refuse. No one can give in."

"If any of you dare to act like a hero and say something like going to the Rain Country in person to protect your people... I will personally beat him to a pulp so that he will never say such stupid words again!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!"

"Okay, let's move on to the next item..."

…

While the small group's meeting was going on, the Uchiha clan's ninjas were running along the village wall, their neat formations and slogans demonstrating their collective strength.

But not every ninja can agree with this collective power, especially many ninjas in the Uchiha family, who are obsessed with their own bloodline limits and sneer at collective actions and physical training.

Most of these ninjas were concentrated in the security department, and many of them patrolled on the walls.

What’s even more coincidental is that the people who often run around in front of them are the father and son of the Matt family.

The green tights, the shining big teeth, and the devilish laughter all caused them great mental damage.

These Uchiha ninjas really hate ninja running and have developed a subconscious aversion to it.

But today, when the Uchiha family's study group members came over, the shock they brought to them was even stronger than that brought to them by Might and his son who had just passed by.

More than 500 children from the Uchiha family were divided into six neatly arranged square teams and ran over in almost unison.

The coordinated movements and uniform footsteps demonstrated the powerful force of order.

Order is a force that humans instinctively recognize and has the highest priority over beauty.

More than 500 people formed as one, like an unprecedented giant, rumbling past the security ninjas, shocking them so much that they were stunned and couldn't even utter the scolding that was on the tip of their lips.

Such a formation certainly cannot be used on the battlefield, but it is extremely effective in cultivating collective consciousness and a sense of honor.

Moreover, in non-combat situations, it can also demonstrate unshakable will and indomitable momentum.

This was the first time Uchiha Yuu had publicly demonstrated the power of the group outside of the training grounds since taking over the study group.

Even the thick-skinned father and son, Might Dai and Might Guy, were deeply shocked. They didn't even dare to overtake the group and just ran behind it.

"Father, this is the first time I know that running with so many people together can be so cool!"

"He is indeed very handsome, worthy of being a member of the Uchiha clan!"

"Kai! This is youth!"

"Father!"

"Kai!"

"For youth! Today I will run ten laps around Konoha Village!"

"Oh--! Kai! You're amazing, you're already an amazing ninja!"

"For youth! For Kai! I will run twenty laps!!"

Uchiha's younger brothers: "..."

"Run, just get rid of them."

"You think too much. They are the only ones who can dump us. We can't dump them. They are the Might family that the president admires."

"What, this weird couple is from Matt's family?"

"No way, I thought he was very handsome, even the president admired him."

"No whispering, run seriously!!"

"Yes! Captain!"

When the study club's long-distance race reached the third lap, the Third Hokage, Mito Kado En, and the money-making Koharu came to the wall and watched the study club team quietly.

When the Uchiha ran away, Mitomon En asked, "What does this mean? Are you demonstrating to us?"

Utatane Koharu replied, "That should be the case. We have rejected many proposals from the Uchiha family recently and dismissed all the Uchiha ninjas in key departments. They should at least show some appreciation."

The Third Hokage took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "It's okay. Fugaku told me yesterday that he completely understands the Hokage's difficulties and he won't cause trouble."

"However, the Uchiha clan is not a monolithic group. This is probably just a way for some Uchiha to vent their dissatisfaction."

Mitomon Yan snorted coldly and said, "You actually committed treason. You are truly worthy of being an evil Uchiha."

"Hurizen, we should add another 100 Uchiha ninjas to the list of people supporting the Rain Country."

The Third Hokage shook his head and said, "Yan, you should grasp the point. There are many people in the Uchiha family who are at odds with the clan leader Fugaku, but there is only one person who can instruct these children to do such a dangerous thing."

"Uchiha Yuu."

"To strike a blow to the Uchiha clan's morale, we should target him."

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu looked at each other. They didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would actually target this Uchiha.

Utatane Koharu asked, "Huruzen, didn't you forbid us to target him before?"

"You said that he is too involved in the Uchiha family, and has a close relationship with Orochimaru, and an even closer relationship with the pillar troops on the front line of the Land of Hot Springs..."

Mitomon En added: "Yes, Hiruzen, you also said: If we touch him, it is very likely to shake the situation in the eastern battlefield."

Utatane Koharu continued, "And he is the only one who can master the regeneration surgery. There are not only a lot of ninjas in the queue, but they are all jonin."

Moreover, in two months, it will be the turn of the Jounin of the Utane family. How can we deal with Uchiha Yu at this critical moment?

It was easy to guess what Utatane Koharu was thinking, and the Third Hokage knew it very well, so he explained: "Don't worry, what I meant is that I will temporarily transfer Uchiha Yu to perform some long and difficult missions."

"Don't let him stay in Konoha Village for a short time. It will only take a few months to separate him from the Uchiha Clan."

Mitomon En laughed and said, "I understand. In just a few months, someone in the Uchiha family will be unable to resist and will separate these children and take them all away."

"When Uchiha Yuu comes back, he will have nothing."

"Hiruzen, that's a good idea."

The Third Hokage smiled, and then said compassionately: "Uchiha Yu is an outstanding ninja in Konoha Village. As the Hokage, I must do my best to protect him and prevent him from going down the wrong path."

Utatane Koharu also understood and asked with a smile: "Is there a mission that is very suitable for Uchiha Yuu?"

The Third Hokage took out a document with a smile and said, "This is a request for help from the Demon Country. It's time for the new generation of Demon Country priestesses to seal the monsters."

Utane Koharu's heart moved, she nodded and said, "So it's this mission, it's a good mission."

"It's just that the Ghost Country is still too close. It's not as far as the Snow Country."

The Third Hokage said: "Don't just look at the distance. This mission needs to be undertaken by the five major countries. Except for the Hidden Mist Village, which cannot participate in the village closure, all other ninja villages must participate."

"Uchiha You has arrived in the Land of Demons. He needs to complete the mission with the ninjas from the Sand Village, the Rock Village, and the Cloud Village. He needs to wait for a long time before he can start the mission."

Utane Koharu nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Huruzen, you are right. The distance to the Hidden Cloud Village is so far, I don't know how long it will take to get to the Land of Demons."

"Calculated this way, this mission will take much longer than going to the Snow Country."

“It’s a great mission.”

The Third Hokage held up the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Is that decided?"

Mitokado En and Utane Koharu nodded in agreement.

A quarter of an hour later, this document, along with a handwritten order from the Hokage, was delivered to Uchiha Yu by the Anbu ninja.

This surprised Uchiha You. In his opinion, it was still a long time before his hibernation period ended.

But after reading the specific content of the mission, he saw through the tricks of the Third Hokage. They were too childish.

Miwa Masayo, who was deeply influenced by Uchiha Yu, was able to understand the routine after reading the task book.

But the tabby cat has always lacked confidence in intelligence, and hesitantly asked: "What does this mission mean... when You goes away, I'll take the opportunity to rob your nest, meow?"

Uchiha You raised his thumb in approval and exclaimed, "Very correct!"

Miwa Masayo was immediately very happy. She smiled and sighed, "Oh my, meow, I can actually understand it, meow!"

It has to be said that the Third Hokage, as the military leader of a country, used very low-level tactics.

Compared with the small power struggle that Uchiha Yu experienced in the police station in his previous life, it can only be said that it is exactly the same routine.

After being happy for several minutes, Miwa Masayo realized that the Third Hokage was plotting against her owner again, and she became furious.

"The Third Hokage is so abominable, meow, he actually plotted against you again!"

Uchiha You sighed: "It's annoying, but the situation is a little different this time."

"The Third Hokage had bad intentions, but what he did was good. The priestess from the Land of Demons is fine, but the demons are exactly what I want. This is a good thing that I just didn't think of at the moment."

He looked at the kitten and said with a smile: "Lihuajiang, let's go on a long trip to catch this guy and travel at the same time."

The tabby cat scratched his ears, tilted his head and said, "Okay."
