Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 104 Mito Uzumaki: Monkey, everything for the village, everything to deal with the war!

"Tsunade, I must report the situation here to the old man," Orochimaru said calmly.

Tsunade didn't care, "Whatever!"

Power must be accountable for its source.

Tsunade's confidence in taking action stemmed from the Senju clan, the support of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and her own medical skills.

She has the freedom to move around without restrictions.

Orochimaru was different; he had no family support, and most of his men came from the Anbu (secret branch of the secret service).

Having received the support of the Third Hokage, I should at least do something.

The most urgent clandestine communication method is activated!

......

Leaf.

The medical association's supervisory power was easily stolen by Uchiha Tomishi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the familiar tune, and hummed it softly for the first time in a long time.

It's been too long since he's gained the upper hand against the combined forces of the Senju and some Uchiha.

"Lord Hokage! Urgent information!"

A member of the secret service appeared in an instant, smashing the door open!

The seasoned members of the Dark Guard showed signs of panic.

"Daita, you've been in the Anbu for seven years, why are you still so impulsive?"

Sweat dripped from Da Tian's forehead onto the ground as he reported a seemingly unbelievable message in a trembling voice.

"On the battlefield in the Land of Rain, Vice Commander Tsunade dismissed and placed Elder Mitokado Homura under house arrest yesterday! Commander-in-Chief Orochimaru has entered the camp and temporarily assumed some authority! At the same time, there is a encrypted intelligence document that requires the Hokage's personal attention!"

"..."

Upon hearing this news, Hiruzen Sarutobi tilted his head, felt as if he had lost his hearing for a moment, and his face immediately froze.

He knew Orochimaru well; he wouldn't activate emergency communication unless something major happened.

But unexpectedly, Tsunade rebelled!

No, things aren't that bad.

There's also a encrypted intelligence report!

"Give me the encrypted scroll right now!"

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat out of sorts, Ota hurriedly bowed and handed him an encrypted scroll.

Hiruzen Sarutobi prayed inwardly, "Orochimaru must have taken control of the situation, right?"

Open the scroll.

'Elder Mitokado En deceived the village; the actual losses to the Rain Country camp...'

After reading the intelligence, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned pale and looked even older.

The Rain Defense Line: More than half of the ninjas have been lost!

This shows that the strategy of deterring the two major ninja villages has completely failed!

Yan, you've ruined my important plans!

The oppressive aura that Konoha once exerted against the entire ninja world is almost gone!

Also, what exactly is Tsunade thinking?

Even if Yan did something wrong, you shouldn't have rebelled!

He gestured for Ota to leave, then Sarutobi Hiruzen paced around the office twice before rushing to the Senju clan's territory.

The gates of the Senju family ancestral home were wide open, as if waiting for guests to arrive.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed; he once again felt the oppressive aura of the Senju clan.

A strange feeling flashed through my mind.

Is this the source of confidence for someone who is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

Even if he falls out with the Hokage, he wouldn't be worried at all?

With a gentle smile, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped once again into the reception room he never wanted to enter again.

He said with unusual respect, "Lord Mito."

Mito Uzumaki smiled for the first time in a long time, feeling very pleased: "Little monkey, what brings you to visit this useless old woman?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, unlike his usual roundabout approach, went straight to the point: "Lady Mito, Tsunade has gone a bit too far with the Rain Defense Line."

Mito Uzumaki's eyes lit up: "Where did it go too far? Special cases are handled specially, all for the village, all for Konoha's victory. Yan did something wrong, and Tsunade did something inappropriate."

Mito Uzumaki felt like she had drunk a glass of warm water on a cold winter's day—refreshing and comforting!

The monkey had always been the one telling her to give, but today the tables have turned.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. At least the Senju clan had no intention of rebelling, which was good news.

“However…” Mito Uzumaki’s tone changed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi’s heart tightened.

"Aren't you right about this?"

Did you give Tsunade the position of deputy commander?

She's fulfilling the duties you assigned her, and you're unhappy about it?

Hiruzen Sarutobi had nothing to say.

Unfortunately, he did not appoint Mitokado Homura as the commander-in-chief; even the title of acting commander was given to him privately.

Danzo was his first choice for commander-in-chief.

He knew Yan had never commanded, but he had witnessed the war firsthand and was surprised to find him to be so incompetent!

Are they treating the Rain Defense Line like a business transaction?

"Lady Mito, in the end, what Tsunade did was inappropriate." Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, his face full of bitterness, and he began to play the victim for the first time in a long time.

Mito Uzumaki still misses the village.

The Thousand Hands can fight, but they cannot destroy the village.

My days are numbered. I need to find a suitable fourth-generation candidate and entrust the future to my children.

As you get older, you become easily swayed by others' opinions.

"That's enough!"

Mito Uzumaki and Hiruzen Sarutobi reached an agreement to handle the matter of Homura Mitokado and Tsunade discreetly.

The village also recognized the legitimacy of Tsunade's command of the camp.

Yuuki was appointed as the logistics squad leader and promoted to Jonin, with a one-year probationary period.

Jiraiya was appointed as the head of the intelligence squad.

Orochimaru continues to serve as the commander-in-chief, with Tsunade as the deputy commander.

Sakumo Hatake was relieved of his post as deputy commander and transferred to the defense line of Kawano to guard against the Sunagakure attack.

At the same time, the village stopped replenishing its ninjas and its surplus funds.

With this, the Rain Defense Line has been completely handed over to the Senju faction, who are now responsible for their own profits and losses!

From Hiruzen Sarutobi's perspective, it was a huge loss!

Its prestige has been damaged.

From the village's perspective, it's alright!

Since everyone is from the same village, we saved a lot of money.

Overall, it's a no-loss situation even if you force it!

The news gradually spread throughout the village.

Upon hearing the news, the various families immediately engaged in heated discussions within their own ranks.

The impact of this incident has been enormous!

Tsunade has taken control of a defensive line on the battlefield!

What signal was sent?

Has the position of Fourth Hokage fallen to her?

Should we place a bet? And how much?

While turmoil was brewing in the village, the rain-soaked defense line remained calm.

Yuuki does not intend to devote too much energy to the Rain Defense Line.

It has no value for development.

But he was very interested in finding suitable materials in this land, honing his combat skills, and finding an opportunity to fight Hanzo and unlock the Kaleidoscope.

Inside the medical camp.

Yuuki and Tsunade sat facing each other.

"Is Lady Tsunade slacking off again?"

Tsunade waved her hand: "What are you saying? What kind of talk is that? I'm just concerned about my subordinates and guiding them to improve their strength."

Yuuki said helplessly, "Lady Tsunade, my medical ninjutsu has reached a bottleneck, and there is no room for further improvement."

"Tch, I can teach you other ninjutsu too! Tell me about the problems you're having!"

Yuuki silently recalled that his combat system was a bit of everything, but he wasn't proficient in anything.

After a moment's thought, he said, "In terms of ninjutsu, I'm more skilled in the Great Fireball Jutsu and Summoning Jutsu. As for genjutsu, with the help of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, ordinary Jonin would find it difficult to withstand; after all, my mental strength is too strong. In addition, I can also exert considerable combat power by using summoned beasts..."

Yuuki briefly added information about the Scizor and the Perfume Butterfly.

Tsunade scratched her head in slight distress: "It's too comprehensive!"

"In terms of strength, you lack nothing. Just develop step by step. Perhaps the only thing you lack is combat experience?"

"But you have so many summoned beasts, there's no need to gain more combat experience."

Tsunade picked up her wine cup and drank it down in one gulp: "You have the Sharingan and the Transparent Release. Summoning beasts will attract attention, and I'll find an opportunity to assassinate you. As for killing, you'll get good at it after a few tries."

Killing is not everything for a ninja.

Preparing a few combat ninjutsu techniques is enough to deal with unexpected situations, in Tsunade's opinion.

Yuuki nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, for the Swarm Overlord, the true fighting style is to have plenty of supplies!

The main body should focus more on improving its cultivation level!
