Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

But after the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan was truly isolated and helpless.

Of course, what Bai Mu needs to do now is to first resolve the internal problems of the Uchiha clan, maintain a single voice, and then speak out to the outside world in unison.

If the Uchiha clan unites, there won't be so much scheming and backstabbing. Besides, we have ourselves; whoever comes will die anyway!

……

Inside the Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Miroku hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

"Father!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was admiring the crystal ball, immediately blushed and with lightning speed withdrew it.

Then, with a face full of anger, he looked at Sarutobi Miroku who had barged in and shouted, "This is the Hokage Building, you should address yourself by your position!"

Sarutobi Miroku's lips twitched, thinking to himself that his father's hobby was truly speechless.

It's ostensibly for monitoring suspicious individuals, but in reality, it just means no more peeping. Jiraiya-sama has a lot of bad habits, like sneaking into bathhouses to spy, which is inseparable from his grandfather's teachings—truly a case of master and disciple being of the same lineage.

"Lord Hokage!"

Of course, Sarutobi Miroku still gave his father face and immediately changed his address.

"Speak, what is it!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a serious voice.

My son is so impatient, it must be something important, so he quickly got to the point instead of bringing up other trivial matters.

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Miroku immediately launched into a long explanation: "Lord Hokage, I learned from the front lines about a major event concerning the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Hakumaki has become the new clan head, and also, Uchiha Hakumaki has an extremely close relationship with Lady Tsunade. Lady Tsunade seems to trust him greatly and supports some of his decisions..."

Upon hearing these words, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, interrupting his son: "Alright, I know all that."

Seeing this, Sarutobi Miroku adjusted his position and immediately dropped a bombshell: "Lord Hokage, Uchiha Hakumochi came to power through a coup. He defeated Uchiha Fugaku. According to the ninjas from Nara and Hyuga, it didn't take Hakumochi much time to defeat Uchiha Fugaku. It was an easy victory."

coup!

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi nervous.

If even Uchiha Hakubaki could stage a coup within the Uchiha clan, what about the village? If he wants something, wouldn't he...?

Considering the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but make this connection. Moreover, he already knew Bai Mu was no pushover, but he hadn't expected him to be so decisive.

He can stage a coup immediately, which is completely different from the spineless Uchiha Fugaku.

This style of doing things...

Fugaku Uchiha was completely inferior.

Such a decisive person, and the fact that he is suspected of being a genius Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, is definitely not a good thing for Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well that if Fugaku Uchiha was in charge, the Uchiha clan was not a threat, and even if there was a great threat, there were ways to deal with it.

But if it's a young man like Uchiha Hakumu, then it's really troublesome.

Moreover, with the Mangekyou Sharingan, who knows if this Uchiha Hakumu is normal or not!

Influenced by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and their group were wary, cautious, and hostile towards the Uchiha clan, and would never be careless about them.

Upon learning of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Hakubaki absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Such people are extremely harmful and must be dealt with.

Otherwise, the consequences will be endless!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, then looked at his eldest son with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Miroku, go find Danzo and tell him that Uchiha Hakubaku cannot be allowed to live."

Sarutobi Miroku: "..."

Does Father mean to eliminate Uchiha Hakubaku?

Such decisiveness showed that his father was truly wary; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so impatient. Knowing this, Sarutobi Miroku didn't waste any words but immediately turned and left.

"Don't worry, Father, I know what to do!"

Watching his son's departing figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly trembled, feeling a bad premonition, but he quickly calmed down and realized he was overthinking things.

There's no doubt about my son's abilities, and with Danzo around, this matter will surely be accomplished.

……

The moment Bai Mu stepped into the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Natsumi and several other Uchiha clan members had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Lord Bai Mu!" Upon seeing Bai Mu, Uchiha Natsumi and several Uchiha clan members behind her bowed in unison.

"Um……"

Bai Mu nodded first, then asked, "How is the situation within the clan?"

Uchiha Natsumi hurriedly reported the situation, saying in a low voice, "Everything is fine. We have controlled all the key roads in the clan's territory and are monitoring the situation at all times. However, Elder Setsuna has a lot of objections and seems to have discovered something."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mu simply waved his hand and said indifferently, "Don't worry about him. Just keep an eye on the elders in the clan. Most of the clan members below won't do anything since they don't have a leader. As for the security department, I'll go there myself!"

The Uchiha clan is in charge of the Security Department. Not everyone in the Security Department is an elite member of the Uchiha clan, but basically everyone who has awakened their Sharingan can enter the Security Department. However, most of them are one-tomoe, while two-tomoe members are the backbone, and three-tomoe members are the elite among the elite.

Not just anyone can enter the Security Department. Even within the Uchiha clan, only members who have awakened their Sharingan are qualified to enter this department.

However, in Bai Mu's view, it was because the Uchiha clan valued the Security Department too much, controlling it and not letting others get a share, which ultimately made them isolated and helpless.

In reality, Tobirama Senju set a trap for the Uchiha clan, but at the same time, he gave them hope, since the Security Department did indeed wield considerable power.

It's just that not many people in the Uchiha clan can handle things. Instead, they are bogged down in routine patrols and maintaining village order, which leads to a continuous deterioration of the Uchiha clan's reputation.

Of course, in Bai Mu's opinion, the villagers of Konoha were indeed troublemakers and deserved to be dealt with severely, but these things were not worth the Uchiha clan members doing.

Those ninjas from smaller clans and the vast majority of ordinary ninjas are the ones truly suited to do these things. How could we, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, possibly do something like beating up villagers... Oh, no, I mean educating them.

Bai Mu has made a decision: the security department must be reformed to allow ordinary ninjas to enter, not to mention the benefits and treatment. Only in this way can the Uchiha clan win the hearts of the people!

You have to understand that ordinary civilian ninjas, and even ninjas from small ninja clans, need opportunities. What kind of opportunities?

Of course, it's an opportunity for improvement. How can ordinary ninjas become stronger without expert guidance? They might not even master a few ninjutsu in their entire lives, and they might not even have all the necessary ninja tools.

However, everything changed after joining the security department.

Uchiha Natsumi is also a loyal supporter of Hakumu, just as loyal as Uchiha Mina. So when Hakumu mentioned that he wanted to go to the police headquarters in person, he naturally did not object to this. The question is, what should we do next?

That requires asking, asking carefully.

"Lord Bai Mu, the old fogies in our clan are clinging to outdated ideas. So what should we do next? Please give us your guidance."

Bai Mu waved his hand and said calmly, "Relax. All you need to do is maintain peace and stability within the clan. You don't need to do anything outstanding. The war on the eastern front of Wuyin is basically over, and Mina and the others will gradually withdraw. At that time, all you need to do is keep a low profile and not do anything out of line. If there are any changes, remember to inform me. Just take what I gave you."

The "things" referred to are the tools used for communication, which ensure timely communication so that the White Shepherd can make the most reasonable decisions.

Mina and Natsumi, these loyal supporters, all had communication tools given to them by the White Shepherd.

"Understood, Lord Bai Mu!" Uchiha Natsumi had no objections and unconditionally obeyed Bai Mu's orders.

……

Security Department.

The one left behind was Uchiha Yoshito, one of Fugaku Uchiha's trusted confidants.

However, there were quite a few members of the White Flame Society within the Security Department, so by the time Bai Mu arrived, the Uchiha clan members belonging to the White Flame Society had already taken control of the situation.

Uchiha Ryoto was completely bewildered. How could these clansmen, who usually dressed strangely and had white firework patterns embroidered on them, have such abilities?

"Uchiha Hakumu?"

Upon seeing Bai Mu appear before him, Uchiha Ryoto, who had been captured, was immediately surprised. He clearly hadn't expected that Bai Mu, who was usually inconspicuous, would be the person behind it all, so it was all Bai Mu's doing.

Realizing what had happened, Uchiha Ryoto flew into a rage and demanded, "What exactly did you do?"

How did you manage to control me?

Besides, what is your purpose in barging into the security headquarters like this?

And also, weren't you, Uchiha Hakumo, on the front lines? How did you get back?

"How dare you, Uchiha Ryojin! Are you trying to rebel?" Uchiha Natsumi, standing behind Bai Mu, immediately rebuked him with a gloomy face.

"rebel?"

Uchiha Ryoto was very surprised. He never expected that he would one day be a rebel. The key point was that Uchiha Natsumi was just a young man in his early twenties. How could he be so angry with me?

"Uchiha Natsumi, who do you think you are? How dare you insult me? And what rebellion? What kind of rebellion is that? Don't talk nonsense!"

Uchiha Ryojin had a very bad temper. As a member of the security force and one of Uchiha Fugaku's confidants, he could certainly disregard some of his clansmen, let alone a young man like Uchiha Natsumi who was only in his early twenties.

Uchiha Natsumi didn't care about Uchiha Ryoto's curses. As long as the other party wasn't cursing Bai Mu, he wouldn't react. But if it was cursing Bai Mu, then he was asking for death.

"Uchiha Ryojin, Lord Hakumaki is the new head of the Uchiha clan. The former head, Uchiha Fugaku, has stepped down. You are now facing our new Uchiha clan head, do you understand?"

New clan leader?

Him?

No, are you kidding me?

Uchiha Ryojin, of course, did not believe it.

However, Bai Mu didn't waste any words and directly revealed his Sharingan. The terrifying power of his eyes completely suppressed the Uchiha present.

One glance, just one glance, and they're all down.

As the one who suffered the most, Uchiha Ryoto felt nothing but fear at this moment. Just how terrifying was the power of those Sharingan eyes?

It's unpredictable, completely unpredictable, it's terrifying.

"The security department is currently under Xia Ri's control. Further arrangements will be made after the tribesmen who have returned from the front lines come back. At that time, Mina will work with Xia Ri to get things started, so you don't need to worry about any unfair treatment..."

"I can assure you that your treatment will only get better. I, Uchiha Hakumo, am not the kind of person who enjoys glory all to myself. So you just need to follow me, and you will naturally get what you deserve!"

Bai Mu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, announcing everything that needed to be announced.

Some things can be arranged in detail when I return. Right now, heading north to intercept Yunyin is the top priority. In addition, the clansmen at the front have not returned yet. Announcing it in advance would only cause trouble. Let's wait and see.

After Hakumu explained these matters, Uchiha Natsumi led the clan members in the security department and shouted loudly, "Come, for the sake of the Uchiha, let us pledge our loyalty to Clan Chief Hakumu! We are absolutely loyal to Lord Hakumu!"

"loyalty!"

The clansmen present immediately shouted in unison.

At this moment, no further words are needed. Bai Mu's strength has completely won them over, so now these people only have loyalty to him in their minds!
