I am Uchiha, starting the S4 season

Chapter 7 Rope Tree!

Konoha.

The continuous rain seemed to foreshadow the deaths of ninjas on the battlefield.

In the dark sky, lightning flashed from time to time.

Thousand Hands Clan.

"Damn it! How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

Tsunade smashed the table with an angry punch, but Uzumaki Mito in front of her remained silent.

I never thought that this time, the bloodline of the first generation Hokage would be almost destroyed.

"Tsunade, what if this is really a coincidence?"

After a long while, Uzumaki Mito spoke hoarsely, but after saying this, the old girl even let out a self-deprecating and sad laugh.

She herself doesn't believe this!

Not to mention Tsunade, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice:

"Coincidence? There is nothing wrong with these wandering warriors. It is reasonable for them to have some detonating talismans to protect themselves. It is also normal for them to set up traps."

When she said this, Tsunade raised her head and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

"It's really reasonable. There is no problem at all. But it's such a simple mission, and it's within the territory of the Land of Fire. Orochimaru would underestimate it. A ninja with the strength of a Chunin would fall into the trap carelessly."

"And then he was killed by the detonating talisman! But grandma, don't you think the number of detonating talismans is a bit too much? Even though according to the investigation, all the sources are normal!"

The less clues there are, the more suspicious it becomes.

If they didn't know it in advance, they might have investigated it for a long time and confirmed it again and again, and it would have remained a mystery forever.

But they got the information in advance!

And it fits so well!
Especially this time the mission can no longer be said to be within the territory of the Land of Fire, but at the doorstep of Konoha.

Nawaki had his birthday the day before and went on a mission the next day. Jiraiya came to the village at night to notify him to go and see the body. Do you think this is at the doorstep of his home?

"As for the Uchiha!"

When she said this, Tsunade even revealed a hint of sarcasm and sneer.

"The Uchiha are now isolated and excluded, and they are constantly trying to integrate into Konoha. Let alone whether they have any reason to attack us, do we have the strength to do so with the police department?"

The Uchiha are very powerful!

It can be said to be the number one wealthy family, and this is not only true in Konoha, but also in the ninja world.

But in Konoha, most of the elite members of the Uchiha clan were transferred to the front line. The remaining members of Konoha never believed in them and remained vigilant and monitored them secretly.

For the Uchiha clan to do something like this, the risk is too great and it is impossible for them to do it so perfectly.

"Tsunade!"

Uzumaki Mito finally sighed dejectedly, and a trace of sadness appeared on her old face.

"Nongshu is my grandson. It's good that he's gone now. I'll take this opportunity to send him to the Daimyo Prefecture. There, there is the power of the Senju clan, who can protect him and let him grow up in secret."

"Tsunade, the Konoha of today may not be the Konoha of the past, but now that a war is imminent, you must not be impulsive!"

At this moment, Tsunade was undoubtedly the angriest, but the moment she raised her head, her face returned to calm.

This calmness left Uzumaki Mito speechless.

"Grandma, don't worry."

Tsunade may become the fifth Hokage in the future. She is impulsive, but that doesn’t mean she is brainless.

When it comes to major events, she not only has her own opinions, but also possesses political acumen. She is not just a simple ninja, otherwise she would not have been able to sit on the position of the Fifth Hokage.

Looking at Tsunade who quickly calmed down, Uzumaki Mito also smiled with relief.

"Tsunade, grandma won't live long. The future of the family and Kushina will depend on you."

At this moment, the expressions of the two men changed, and it was obvious that they had noticed someone outside coming towards them.

"Tsunade!"

At Jiraiya's familiar voice, the moment the door opened, Tsunade pretended to be normally angry and said:
"Jiraiya, there is no proper reason. You need to give me an explanation!"

However, at this moment, Jiraiya looked heavy, which made the anger on Tsunade's face gradually disappear, as if she had a bad premonition.

She forced a stiff smile on her face.

"Jiraiya! Could it be that the situation on the front line has suddenly become tense?"

However, Jiraiya's throat seemed to be blocked, and after a while he lowered his voice and said:
"Tsunade, Orochimaru is back and in the morgue!"

boom!
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating Tsunade's eyes, which were filled with disbelief, as if she had thought of something. The next moment!
Bang!
With water splashing everywhere, Tsunade burst out at the fastest speed and headed towards her destination.

After seeing this scene, Jiraiya hurriedly followed.

I have to say that women are born to act, let alone ninjas. Tsunade didn't reveal any flaws from beginning to end.

……

Under the gloomy sky, heavy rain was pouring down.

In front of the morgue, there was a sound of sudden footsteps and heavy breathing.

At this time, Tsunade looked at this place in disbelief. Orochimaru was leaning against the door.

This panting sound is not from fatigue, but from nervousness!

Just as Tsunade was about to move forward trembling, Jiraiya arrived with a look of sadness on his face.

"It's better not to look at the corpse."

One can imagine how miserable the corpse was, as Jiraiya could say this.

Orochimaru, who was leaning against the door, with a strand of black hair blocking his view, lowered his voice and said in an extremely calm tone:
"What's the big deal? I wouldn't recognize him as my brother anyway."

"Shut up Orochimaru!" Jiraiya hurriedly scolded his companion.

However, Orochimaru sneered, hiding the sadness deep in his eyes.

"Now they are all dead bodies in disguise. They are all like this because there are no doctors on the battlefield. Unfortunately, it is a bit too cruel for children."

"Especially the day after I received a gift!"

Orochimaru said this in a relaxed tone, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and at the same time took out a pendant from his arms.

In an instant, as the familiar necklace pendant appeared, Tsunade's pupils dilated and her eyes became empty and lifeless.

Jiraiya on the side couldn't bear it and turned his head away.

This is war!
After a while, Tsunade took the necklace with trembling hands, and tears were already streaming from her eyes.

"The Rope Tree!"

The sorrowful cries echoed in this rainy night, making the Konoha ninjas outside who heard it look gloomy.

Ninja! It has always been a profession that is accompanied by death.

Especially during war, such screaming and lung-shattering sounds occurred almost every day.

……

Within the Land of Fire.

A drizzle of rain fell, and the air was filled with the scent of earth.

"August 8th. Yesterday was Nawaki's twelfth birthday, so Tsunade should know about it today."

Even if the incident with the rope tree was really a coincidence, it would no longer be a coincidence if it was known in advance.

This is the human heart!
On the tree trunk, Uchiha Ye restrained his breath and raised his head to look at the night sky.

"night!"

Suddenly a black dot flashed and appeared behind him, diverting Uchiha Ye's attention.

On a rainy night, Uchiha Mikoto was seen carrying a family-issued long sword on her back, with her double magatama Sharingans looking at the cave in the distance.

"According to the Shinobi cat scent tracking, this guy is inside!"

The usually gentle Uchiha Mikoto was full of coldness at this moment, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked into the cave.

pat!

The next moment, Uchiha Ye placed his hand on her shoulder, instantly dissipating her murderous intent.

"Sister Mikoto."

A soft cry brought Uchiha Mikoto back to her senses, and she looked solemnly at the cave in the distance.

And inside the dark cave.

"Man? Woman?"

In the dark and damp cave, a skinny old man slowly raised his head, as if he sensed something, and his calm voice was accompanied by a sense of weirdness.

"It's decided. If the person rushing in this time is a woman, we'll kill her!"

The eyes that were calm at the beginning gradually turned crazy, but they were staring straight at the cave entrance.
