Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Under the curtain of late night, orange-red sparks danced in the village at the foot of Mount Katsuragi, as if holding a farewell ceremony for the falling wails. The people who once lived in the village had already embarked on their journey to the underworld. A journey with no return.

Only a few lucky people are temporarily spared by death.

Lord Death is not in a hurry to invite everyone to the underworld as a guest.

On the high hills,

A group of young men and women with tears streaming down their faces hid in the bushes, looking at their hometown that was being devoured bit by bit by the sea of ​​fire. Sadness was like a raging tsunami that flooded their hearts. Hesitation, anger, despair and other emotions permeated their hearts. heart.

"Woooo~~"

The youngest girl couldn't help but sob softly.

"Don't cry. Now is not the time to cry. We have to leave quickly." The leader of the team said through gritted teeth.

"But...where can we go?"

someone asked blankly.

Their hometown is being devoured by the sea of ​​fire. Without their hometown, where can they go?

Those who escaped were all young people. They had basically been wandering around their hometowns since they were young. Many of them had only been to nearby towns. After leaving the village, it was good enough to be able to distinguish between southeast, northwest and northwest. He has a surname like Tu Spider.

But today, most of the Earth Spider Clan no longer live by licking blood from the tip of a knife. Fed up with the crisis of ninjas wandering on the edge of life and death at that time, the Earth Spider Clan wants to give up their identity as ninjas. Unfortunately... It doesn't mean that they can survive peacefully if they give up voluntarily.

trouble,

They will come to you on their own initiative.

Wishful thinking that putting down the weapons would eliminate the enemy's malice, but what actually happened was ruthless killing.

"Let's go to Konoha."

The leading man said through gritted teeth.

"Father, he told me that Lord Yakuza's granddaughter is in Konoha. If we go to seek refuge with her, as long as we can get help from Konoha, we can avenge our father and mother."

"But, aren't the adults in the clan not allowed to do anything about the leader...will she help us?"

The older one asked worriedly.

Those young boys and girls looked at a loss and had no idea who the Warrior Walker was. Since the internal split of the Earth Spider Clan, even the name of the Warrior Walker has become a taboo among their clan. , that is to say, the older ones still know who Yizhi Xingzhe is, but the younger ones have never heard of the name Yizhi Xingzhe at all.

"That's a grudge between the elders! Now the elders have... We don't need to inherit that kind of insight anymore, and after all, we are all earth spiders, we have to give it a try, and the previous paragraph Some time ago, some ninjas from Konoha came to see the clan leader. We Earth Spiders should be connected with Konoha." Otherwise, I really don't know where to go.

Although the ninja world is huge,

But it’s not that easy to survive.

The last dejected words were not uttered. The leading young man was still clear-headed and understood that he could not say such words now. If his family gave out the last bit of their momentum, the Earth Spider clan would really be doomed. At least they would An earth spider will definitely be doomed.

"Let's go!"

"Don't even look at it. Be careful not to be discovered."

The displaced young people disappeared on the hills at night with tears in their eyes. However, the young people did not realize that someone had been watching them silently in the darkness. When they left and embarked on the journey to Konoha, their faces changed. Only then did he show a satisfied smile, and then his figure disappeared into the deep darkness.

Leaf Village.

The Hokage Building has been very busy in the past few days. Although there is not much free time on ordinary days, the busyness in the recent period has increased linearly visible to the naked eye. The most typical evidence is the obvious expression of the staff of the Hokage Building. Dark circles and eye bags.

Because the backlog of work is really too much, employees have to shorten their rest time and extend their working hours again and again. If it were not for the comfort of the same salary and bonus increases again and again, I don’t know how many people would do it. I was overwhelmed by this intense work.

"Is there any new information?"

In the intelligence analysis room, the director who was sitting behind his desk and immersed in his work heard the sound of the door opening. He raised his head and saw his subordinates walking into the office with a large pile of documents. He suddenly smiled bitterly and asked feebly: "How many more are there?" A family has been expelled?"

"Three families."

The subordinate who came in holding the documents responded, walked over quickly, put all the documents on the head of the room director's desk, and said: "These contain information collected by the ANBU, give us a copy, and also There is also some information submitted by survivors of the two families, and we hope that useful things can be found in these documents to help us figure out the true identity of the perpetrators."

"Alas! I hope so!"

The head of the room sighed, not optimistic about this. He reached out and touched his thinning hair, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

Just about a week ago,

A ninja from a little-known small family in the Land of Fire came to Konoha and entrusted a task. The content of the task was to investigate the truth behind the destruction of his family. Such a task did not attract much attention at first. , it is common for such a small family, with less than a hundred people in total, to rise and die.

Just treat it as an ordinary B-level mission and put it out for those who are interested to pick it up. Of course, if no one picks it up within three days, in order to ensure the reputation of the village, the Hokage will personally appoint someone to complete the mission.

however,

Similar tasks soon followed.

This made the head of the entrusted department feel that something was abnormal, so he reported this information, and then he didn't know if he didn't check it. When he checked, he was shocked. In the past nearly a month, it was certain that within the Kingdom of Fire, More than 20 ninja families have died overnight. Except for a few members of the clan who escaped, the entire family is often left alive.

What's even weirder is that even the bodies of the wiped out families are missing.

Even the ashes were not found much.

The strange situation was immediately reported to Zong Xian. According to the highest instructions of Lord Hokage, in order to investigate the truth behind this series of events, the Hokage Building began to be overloaded, and all relevant departments such as the intelligence analysis room started to operate daily. Days of hard work at night.

But it’s not just the employees below who work overtime.

The Sixth Generation Hokage himself is also stationed in the Hokage Building, and the lights in the office are often bright all night. Coupled with the increase in salary and bonus, everyone will not have any resentment, but everyone is secretly being cruel and preparing to wait until the busy day is over. Stubble, you must relax happily.

"Chief, here we come again, someone else is here."

An employee of the intelligence analysis room stumbled through the door.

"Come just come! Anyway, it's quite a lot now, it doesn't matter if we have more." The room director, who was almost numb, was indifferent. At the beginning, he would still sympathize with these people who disappeared from this world without a trace. Those ninja families, but as more and more information was sent, his little sympathy had been divided up and little was left.

"No, it's different. This time it's the Earth Spider clan that's suffering."

"It doesn't matter whether it's an earth spider or a water spider... Wait, are you talking about that earth spider? The earth spider clan of Katsuragi Mountain?" The room manager stood up suddenly, his eyes widening.

Gu</span> "Chief, there should be only one earth spider, right?"

The startled clerk stammered.

"...You are right. Not only in the country, but also in the ninja world, there is only one earth spider clan." The head of the room muttered to himself, and his expression became very ugly. Intelligence Analysis Room You can understand the special nature of this department just by looking at its name. As a department with limited access to a lot of secret information, the chief, who is considered a veteran of four dynasties, knows many things that young people don't know.

Speaking of the surname Tu Spider,

The young people in the department will immediately think of the Hokage-sama's apprentice.

But the room chief remembered that Konoha and the Earth Spider Clan were serious allies. The Third Hokage once made an alliance with the Earth Spider Clan's Yakuza, and agreed that when the Earth Spider Clan was in danger, Konoha would need to Send someone to help.

Although Konoha Village is now ruled by the Sixth Generation.

The warrior traveler also passed away a few years ago.

But this covenant has not been lifted yet, which means it is still in effect. Now the Earth Spider Clan is attacked and nearly wiped out. Moreover, we cannot forget that Lord Hokage’s apprentice is from the Earth Spider Clan... ····The situation is about to escalate!

"Are you sure that the earth spider clan in Mount Katsuragi was also wiped out?"

The room chief confirmed the accuracy of the information.

"It's true. Many people from the Earth Spider Clan have escaped and have entered the village. This news will probably spread soon, and I won't be able to hide it even if I want to." The subordinate's answer made the room chief take a deep breath. , this matter seems to be really going to make a big fuss, although it is not a trivial matter in the first place.

Before receiving this news, Konoha ninjas would at most have some sympathy for the victims, but in the final analysis, the life and death of those ninja families had nothing to do with Konoha.

until now-

The allies, the Earth Spider Clan, were attacked.

We can no longer wait until we investigate the situation clearly before deciding what to do.

The village must take stronger and more obvious actions to express its attitude to the outside world. Of course, if it were the older Sandaime Hokage, there would probably be room for discussion, but Konoha is now dominated by the Sixth Hokage. , with this person’s temper, there is no room for discussion.

That is,

There will definitely be big moves next.

"But... it has nothing to do with me." The room chief thought for a few seconds and then sat down again. No matter how big a fuss this matter was, what did it have to do with him?Now there are many experts in the village who can handle any troubles. It is not his turn, the "veteran of four dynasties", to stand up and work hard.

Therefore,

Just do your own thing.

Naruto Office.

"You said those thieves who lived in Chitose House ran away?" Zongxian looked at Shisui in surprise.

"Yes, it disappeared just three days ago."

Shisui's face turned pale.

This time it was his subordinates who took the trouble.

Because I have been busy investigating the annihilation of many ninja families in the Land of Fire recently, I have not asked about the tracking of Chitose House. However, the ANBU responsible for tracking did not choose to report it immediately after discovering that the target was missing. I felt that the target couldn't run very far, so I was ready to report back after finding the target's whereabouts.

The results came back and forth, but I didn't find the target.

Shisui didn't know about this until today.

"Zong Xian, I was negligent in this matter."

Shisui almost broke his back molars. It took more than half a year but he still couldn't completely unite his subordinates. No matter what the reason was, as the ANBU minister, he You cannot escape responsibility.

"Leave this matter to me, I will definitely..."

"Did you leave three days ago?" Zongxian interrupted Shisui's nonsense and asked thoughtfully: "So Shisui,... do you think the incident at Mount Katsuragi has something to do with these people?" relation?"

"Eh?"

Shishui froze for a moment.

"Do you suspect that group of people attacked Mount Katsuragi? However, the fact that domestic ninja families have been wiped out one after another can be traced back to a month ago. During this period, those people have been squatting in Konoha, and some time ago, didn't they send people to the Earth Spider Clan? Have you investigated? Those people are most likely members of the Earth Spider Clan. Although they are traitors, they don’t think they would kill their own people, right?"

"That might not be the case."

Zong Xian said slowly.

It is not impossible to wield a butcher knife against the tribe for certain purposes, and the time of disappearance and the time of the attack on the Katsuragi Mountain Spider Clan seem to be connected.

"Things have been fermenting so far. Even if someone fishes in troubled waters and tries to achieve another goal, it is not impossible." Zongxian raised his head and looked at the closed door. "Zhishui, look! The fish is ready to take the initiative to bite." Hooked!"

The voice fell,

There was a quick knock on the door.

Before Zong Xian could say "Please come in," the impatient girl pushed open the door to the room and rushed in, "Master! Katsuragi-san..." The words got stuck as soon as she left her mouth. She didn't know What should I say? As the granddaughter of a warrior, he knew that he still had many clan members, but he was really not familiar with those clan members.

Suddenly, after hearing about the miserable experiences of those clansmen who escaped by chance and then fled to Konoha, I was so excited that I rushed to the master.

Then--

When she woke up, she realized that her head was empty, because she didn't even think about what she wanted to do. The current situation was completely caused by her hearing the complaints of her tribe and thinking of her deceased grandfather, and she suddenly became emotional. Caused by above.

"It's a good thing you girl doesn't have the brain to leave the village to seek revenge."

Zong Xian stretched out his hand and nodded at this always well-behaved disciple, "I have sent people to make arrangements for the survivors of the Earth Spider Clan. You don't have to worry about them. I am also preparing to send people to investigate what happened at Mount Katsuragi." ······Speaking of which, Hotaru, do you want to go back to Mount Katsuragi to investigate in person?"

"Can I go?"

Hotaru asked cautiously.

"With the strength of your team, there should be no problem with just the preliminary investigation work." Zong Xian replied with a smile.
