Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

There was a thick layer of leaden clouds in the sky, dark and breathtaking. From time to time, a purple lightning would pierce through the clouds, shooting out streaks of lightning, and heavy rain came as expected.

The summer rain is powerful, pouring down on the earth like a bucket of water, washing away the filth of the world and bringing some coolness to the world.

Amid the sound of heavy rain, hundreds of ninjas stood in neat rows at the east gate of Konoha. They were fully armed and exuded a murderous aura, attracting the attention of passers-by coming in and out.

The leader was none other than Uchiha Keiji, the deputy head of the Uchiha clan and head of the Root.

At this time, Uchiha Keiji's mood was as heavy as the weather. He looked up at the dark clouds, and all kinds of thoughts surged in his mind. Speaking of which, Uchiha Keiji had a good personal relationship with Ye Shan. When he was the warden of the prison under the Security Department, he had been close friends with Ye Shan for half a month. He even said a lot of good things about Ye Shan when he got the position of deputy clan leader.

In Uchiha Keiji's knowledge, Baiyun Yeshan is very powerful, and his moves are as hot as flames, but his personality is completely the opposite. He is always slow in his daily life, and treats people as warmly as spring breeze.

With strong strength, good character, and careful thinking before doing anything, Baiyun Yeshan is not like a young man in his twenties. He hid his edge early on, but he has a clear tendency and bottom line. This kind of person is described as a man with a needle hidden in cotton.

From the bottom of his heart, Uchiha Keiji admired Baiyun Yeshan. He carefully studied Yeshan's growth history and found that this young man had suffered too much along the way. Compared with those arrogant guys in the clan, Yeshan was far ahead of them.

Although the Uchiha clan would be ridiculed for relying so heavily on a ninja from another clan, the benefits brought by the ninja from another clan were real. The most direct benefit was that Danzo Shimura, who hated the Uchiha clan, died, and he also had a seat in the upper echelons, which was something that they would never dare to think about in the past.

Therefore, when Fugaku wanted to use all the strength of the clan to rescue Ye Shan, Uchiha Keiji chose to acquiesce. A clan leader plus a deputy clan leader is enough to control any force in the clan, even if the order is a bit absurd.

However, if he wanted to sacrifice all the elite members of his clan to exchange for an outsider, Uchiha Keiji had to consider the consequences of doing so. Kikyo Castle had been lost, and the tentacles of the Sand Village had extended into the territory of the Land of Fire. The originally peaceful border was bound to be full of enemies. How to complete the mission while preserving his own strength became a headache for Uchiha Keiji.

When Uchiha Keiji was lost in thought, several Anbu ninjas led by Mitomon En hurried over. A middle-aged Uchiha ninja behind him whispered, "Sir, troublemakers are coming."

Uchiha Keiji withdrew his thoughts and cast his eyes at the people who came with ill intentions, but his feet did not move at all, firmly nailed to the spot.

Mito Kado En was very unhappy. You know, this kind of offensive work has always been exclusive to that shady guy Shimura Danzo. But under the order of the Hokage, he had to come. A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official.

"Lord Keiji, I wonder if there is something important that has caused the nobles to mobilize so many troops?"

Uchiha Keiji also serves as the head of the Root, so Mito Kado En is worthy of the title of "Sir".

"It's Master Men Yan. It's raining so hard. Why are you here?"

Mitomon En wiped the rain off his face and said calmly: "As a ninja, it's just a rainy day, and we still have to do what we should do."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Fugaku ordered me to take the children of the clan out for a ride to see the world."

"Men's mouths are deceitful. If you go for a ride, I'll lick you from the East Gate to the Hokage's office!" Mitomono was slandering him in his heart, but he said with a look of surprise on his face: "You want to leave the village? Without the order and mission letter from the Hokage, no ninja is allowed to go out at will, otherwise he will be punished for treason. Keiji, you are also an old ninja, you should know this common sense, right?"

Uchiha Keiji had expected this and said calmly, "The Uchiha clan's territory is in the lower reaches of the Nanhe River. These kids have never been there since they opened their eyes. The clan leader ordered us to go there to worship our ancestors. We beg you to be lenient."

Mitomon En said embarrassmently: "Rules are dead, but people are alive. Although it is forbidden for ninjas to go out without reason, if the matter is serious, it is not impossible to apply for it later. But it is not appropriate to have hundreds of people go out at once, and all of them are elite ninjas above the level of Chunin."

"How about this, we both make concessions. The Uchiha clan can go to the ancestral land to worship in batches, how about ten people in a batch?"

Ten people? Not even one bubble would come out. Do you really think that the people in the Sand Village are all useless? Uchiha Keiji wanted to bring all the ninjas from the Root with him, so how could he reduce the number of people?

"No, absolutely not! The Ninja World War is imminent, and there will be a shortage of combat power. Every ninja will have to take up arms to protect the village. Where will they have time to worship their ancestors in batches? I think it's better to do it all at once to save trouble."

Mitomono spread his hands and said, "A large-scale ninja outing must have the order of the Hokage. You don't want to be defined as a traitor, right?"

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, and many Uchiha clan ninjas secretly touched their waists, and a conflict was about to break out. Uchiha Keiji shouted, "I guarantee in the name of the Root Minister that the Uchiha clan has no selfish motives when they go out, and will not surrender to the enemy country. It's just a simple ancestor worship. Doesn't the Hokage trust us?"

"That's right. Our ancestors sacrificed their lives for the village. Isn't it okay for us to go and pay tribute to them?"

"My Uchiha clan has made great contributions to the village. Is it not possible for us to leave the village?"

"What kind of village is this? It's obviously a prison for us!"

The taunts from the Uchiha clan ninjas made Mitomon look unhappy. This was one of the reasons why he disliked the Uchiha clan. They were unreasonable and made things difficult for him. Did you really think that your family owned the village? Wait, it seemed that the village was really owned by someone else decades ago...

"Everyone calm down. I am not stopping you from leaving the village. I am just following the orders of the Hokage to arrange for you to leave in batches. Please understand."

The situation is stronger than people. Why would I have to be so humble in front of the Uchiha clan a few years ago? Missing the first day of Shimura Danzo...

"No, my grandfather's grandfather is buried there. We are all his descendants. How can we worship separately? We must go together!"

"That's right. We are all brothers from the same clan. If you don't believe me, you can check the family tree."

"..."

Mizuto Menyan almost cursed, he was not a three-year-old child, he just listened to what he said and could not believe a single punctuation mark.

At this point, there was no point in both sides arguing any further. Mito Kado En said bluntly: "Hokage-sama has made an exception by allowing you to send dozens of people to the border to rescue Baiyun Yeshan. If you send hundreds of people at a time, if something goes wrong, the village can't afford it. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Mizuto Menyan ignored the rain on the ground and sat down in the middle of the gate, looking like he was going to kill me before leaving the village.

Things were at a stalemate, Uchiha Keiji was so worried that his head hurt, he wanted to open his eyes and cast a seal to kill the other party, but he didn't dare...
