Naruto: Hidden in the Mist Konoha

"Lord Patriarch."

"Yakura, you're here."

"Yes, my lord."

"I saw that Tsukahara Tsui from Kirigakure and others have returned to the village."

"Yes, my lord."

"You have doubts"

"I can't hide everything from you, sir. I don't understand why Tsukahara Hao and the others were allowed to go back to Kirigakure to report the news."

"Oh Yagura, Konoha's Uchiha has been corrupted. You have great potential, so I will bring you out. Your vision should not be limited to one battlefield, let alone the gains and losses of a period of time. Let me ask you, what kind of reaction do you think Kirigakure will have if you let Tsukahara Hao and the others go back?"

"According to my observation, Tsukawara Tsurugi should already know about the existence of our Uchiha. In addition to the battle with Kaguya, they must inform Kirigakure when they return. Tora Chiyo is aware of our alliance with Onizuki. Once they find out that Guiyue is in contact with us and take precautions, they will cause a lot of trouble for our next actions."

"You can see here, it's enough to block one side alone, but it's only one side. If you want to go further, you have to work harder."

"Please give me some advice, Patriarch."

"Actually, when I was as young as you, I couldn't understand some things. Many things were accomplished with blood and courage. No matter what others say, Senju Hashirama is the absolute leader in the ninja world. God, this is what I, Madara Uchiha, recognize. Because what I give you today was made clear to me by Hashirama of Senju many years ago."

"Yakura, you have to be careful. Dormant snakes are the most terrifying, so don't provoke a dormant snake. Because you don't know where it will attack and how it will attack. When you encounter a dormant snake, your first priority is What we need to do is to startle him. Because the startled snake is different. Since it has been startled, there must be fear. If there is fear, there will be cowardice and mistakes will be made. But if it has already started, the snake will If his body is exposed, it will tend in one direction, and if there is a tendency, there will be flaws. And at this time, if you attack it and disrupt it, it will inevitably reveal more flaws."

"Besides, we have been killing outside Kirigakure all night. Since Kiyuki wants to cooperate, he needs to put in some effort. We have done everything, so have you thought about how he will cooperate with us in the future?"

"That's what the patriarch taught you."

"Back in the Warring States Period, there was a saying among the Ninja clan that said very well: A comrade who is not stained with the blood of the enemy is still not a comrade."

"Lord Patriarch, I understand."

"Yakura, you are very smart. I don't have much time. What I can give you is the battle of Kirigakure. You have to watch it carefully and think carefully. From now on, Uchiha must be placed in front of you. On your shoulders."

"Master Patriarch, please don't say that. I still hope to continue studying under your wings."

"Only after leaving the nest can the young eagle fly high; only after the big tree dies can the new seedlings grow strong. I am old and no longer belong to this era. I leave my will behind and hope you can protect it. Yes. One day, I hope that one day, you will tell the ninja world why I, Uchiha Madara, returned to Konoha for what reason, and why I turned against my life-long best friend to fight. All of this, I put on your shoulders On."

"Lord Clan Leader, I, I, I will protect your will and let all those who misunderstand you in the ninja world bow their heads and bend their waists to you."

"Okay, okay, Yagura, I'm very happy that you think so. Uchiha is a noble eagle, and he has to fight against the sky, not someone's sword. You must remember this."

"Yes, the patriarch."

"Oh, there is one thing, I almost forgot. I just heard that two ninjas from Tsukahara Tsuru and his party betrayed this matter. How much do you know about it?"

"Those two ninjas claim to be Akechi Matomo and Akechi Mitsutada. They fought against Sojourn last night. They are the twelve guardian ninjas under the Daimyo of the Country of Water. Listening to their words when they rebelled, it seems that the Daimyo of the Country of Water gave them The order was given, but the specific order has not been found out yet. After they rebelled, they fought against Shui Wuyue, but they quickly escaped, and their final destination is unknown."

"This is what I'm worried about. Yagura, we came here to seize Kirigakure's land. We also negotiated with the Daimyo of the Country of Water on this matter, and the Daimyo of the Country of Water also agreed. Our conditions. However, now a guardian nin suddenly jumps out. Have you ever thought about what the daimyo of the land of water will do?"

"I have thought about this matter carefully. Although the guardian ninja is a subordinate of the daimyo of the land of water, it is more of an honor. Even the guardian ninja has very little contact with the daimyo. So I feel that the daimyo is not Maybe they gave orders directly to Mao Chao and Guangzhong, or there were people above them who had direct access to the daimyo; or they were using the name of the daimyo to actually achieve their own goals. If it was the former, it could mean that the daimyo's hands were He also reached in."

"This is a ninja village after all. The interests in it are huge enough to launch a war against anyone. It's not surprising that the daimyo's hand will reach out. But I'm afraid that won't be the case."

"What are the patriarchs worried about?"

"The undercurrent of Kirigakure is turbulent. I originally thought that this undercurrent could be used by me to make me a master. But now it seems that this undercurrent is not only used by us."

"The patriarch is worried that the daimyo will become a yellow bird hiding behind his back."

"No, Yagura, you have to remember that a daimyo is a daimyo. Whether it is the Warring States Period or the current Ninja Village era, a daimyo is always a daimyo. This is a heritage from ancient times. A daimyo can be a daimyo, or not. A sparrow. For a daimyo, whether he is a sparrow or not, his share will be neither less nor more."

"Then what is the patriarch worried about? Please tell Yagura again."

"I'm worried, I'm afraid that Kirigakure's undercurrent itself has a strong momentum."

"According to our prior investigation and the information provided by Onizuki. Currently, the common people of Kirigakure only have graduates of this batch in series, and they are all genin-level existences."

"There is a saying in the ancient scriptures: The wind rises at the end of Qingping. What we have to do now is to seize the village. Any small changes must be dealt with carefully. This is why I let Tsukahara Hao and others return to Kirigakure. One of the reasons. Their return to Kirigakure can buy us some time, and we just use this time to carefully grasp the situation."

"I understand, Patriarch."

"Well, by the way, have Red Sand's scorpions arrived?"

"Here we are, already sneaking into Kirigakure."

"Let him move first."

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."
