I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

If you think about it carefully, what Obito has been doing all along is most likely the plan on the stone tablet, and is closely related to the collection of the tailed beasts.

But Ye Lan knew very well that it was impossible for Obito to read the entire contents of the stone tablet.

Obito's eyes are just a Mangekyo, not even the Eternal Eye. What he sees will only be less than Ye Lan, not more.

So how did Obito know these things.

Ye Lan thought of Black Zetsu, this unknown human-like creature that had always been following Obito.

Now it seems that this guy may know everything. Now a guy suspected to be from the Otsutsuki clan appears, and everything becomes confusing.

"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops; when the water comes, we will cover it with earth. Once the Nine-Tail is captured, everything will become clear."

Ye Lan took a deep breath. He looked down upon Asura, Indra, and the like, even though they were all legendary figures. His goal was to surpass everyone. As long as he had absolute power, no tricks would be able to defeat him.

Ye Lan took one last look at the stone tablet and resisted the urge to destroy it.

In his opinion, this thing was somewhat misleading. The steps on how to evolve the Sharingan were all engraved on it. He was sure that as long as he followed what was said, it would be possible for the Sharingan to evolve again.

When everything recorded in the stone tablet is confirmed step by step, no matter what the final plan is, it will be believed.

If Ye Lan did not have a way to cultivate natural energy, he might have also gone looking for the power of Asura, but he had an extra, broader path, so he did not care about these things.

After thinking for some time, Ye Lan stretched out a hand, and a wind blade appeared in his hand. He used the wind as a pen and began to carve on the stone tablet.

Ye Lan destroyed all the parts he could not see. In his opinion, the final plan had no interest for him at all. If it was just to enhance the power of the Sharingan, it would still be of some use, but there was no need to tempt people with other things.

After doing all this, Ye Lan nodded with satisfaction. As for what the younger Uchiha would think when they saw this scene, it was none of his business.

next day

Tsunade is not in the village, and many of Konoha's elite jonin have been transferred away, but the village still needs to function normally.

Several consultants acted on behalf of Tsunade to handle affairs. The original acting consultant Shikaku had resigned, Baiyun Yeshan was captured, leaving only Hyuga Hiashi.

"Hizuki, what do you think about this?"

Mitokado En pointed out a question and looked at Hiashi. After all, he was not the Hokage, so he had to consult his colleagues' opinions on everything.

"Counselor Mitomon, just handle it as you see fit. I have no objection."

Hiashi said expressionlessly that he really didn't want to sit in this position, and it seemed to be a very high-risk position now. Shikaku stepped down because of Shikamaru's incident, which led to the suppression of Ino-Shika-Chou, and it was said that Byakumo-Yeshan almost died on the battlefield.

He had offered his resignation to Tsunade many times, but the easy-going Tsunade did not give in at all on this matter.

"Hiashi, please give us some advice. Our position as consultants is to help the Hokage. If you do this..."

Mitomon En almost said that Hiashi was not doing anything, but Hiashi said calmly, "Then please approve my resignation. I am old and just want to stay at home and take care of the children."

Mizuto Menyan was choked and said, "What do you mean you are old? How old is Rizu? If you are old, what am I?"

"Hey, this kind of thing is something we can decide. Let's wait until Tsunade comes back."

Utatane Koharu tried to smooth things over. She wanted to restore the glory of the two consultants, but if she really agreed, Tsunade could pull up two more people right away.

It's good for Rizu to be like this, at least he doesn't offend anyone.

"you really..."

Mizuto Menen no longer asked Ritsuji, he had no choice but to make himself more tired.

Ye Lan returned to his appearance as an ordinary young man yesterday. He looked up at the newly built Hokage Building and slowly walked in.

"Hey, civilians can't enter the Hokage building. If you want to post a mission, you can go to the mission office."

A Konoha ninja on guard stopped him after seeing Ye Lan.

"Oh, it's me, don't you recognize me?"

The shape of magatama appeared in Ye Lan's pupils, and in an instant he controlled the other party with illusion.

The other guard didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward to ask, and when he turned around he met Ye Lan's eyes.

"So it's you, come in quickly."

The two Konoha ninjas said dazedly.

"Excuse me, where are the consultants?"

Ye Lan's eyes turned black again and he asked lightly.

"In the meeting room, to discuss village affairs."

The guard answered truthfully.

"Okay, thank you."

Ye Lan nodded and strode into the Hokage Building.

Although it was rebuilt, for convenience its layout was similar to the original Hokage Building, so Ye Lan arrived at the conference room without much effort.

Because it was just an ordinary meeting, there was no ninja guarding the door, and Ye Lan could hear the conversation inside when he walked to the door.

"Ahem, because the war has started, everyone knows that the situation on the front line is tense, and the enemy's weapons are far ahead of ours. In order to develop advanced weapons, the village has to collect some commercial taxes."

The voice was obviously Mizuto Kado En.

"We have already developed combat vehicles, haven't we? Why are we still collecting more? The Daimyo has already collected enough."

There are still some voices of opposition.

"Hey, now it's a matter of life and death, and you still care about such a small profit! Do you have any sense of the overall situation? If we stop researching, it will be the same as standing still. The other party's weapons are more advanced than ours. If we don't catch up now, when will we catch up?"

Apart from anything else, Mizuto Menen's speech is still quite good, but I don't know whose overall situation it is for.

Utane Koharu's voice rang out, "Chouza, your Akimichi clan has opened so many barbecue restaurants, why don't you set an example!"

"Let's wait until the Hokage comes back before making a decision on this matter. I have something to do at home so I'm leaving first."

Ding Zuo stood up immediately. If he knew what it was like to attend a meeting, he would not come no matter what.

Every time, Lu Jiu and Hai Yi go out and he stays behind in the village. Next time, he will not agree to anything you say. All the trivial matters are left to him to deal with. He himself does not like to use his brain.

The door of the conference room opened, and Ding Zuo happened to see Ye Lan standing in front of the door, but Ye Lan was still in disguise at this time.

Ding Zuo was stunned for a moment but didn't say much. He muttered something and left quickly.

"How shameful! Do you still have Konoha in your eyes?"

When Mitomon En saw Choza leaving, he started roaring.

Ye Lan rubbed his face at the door, returned to his normal appearance, and walked straight into the house with a smile on his face.

"What on earth made you so angry, Advisor?"

Everyone's attention was attracted by Ye Lan. Some ninjas thought he was the flatterer, but after seeing Ye Lan's face clearly, their expressions changed.

"Uchiha...Yelan!"
