Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 177 Explanation

While practicing ninjutsu during his vacation, Uchiha Ha suddenly felt a surge of emotion, "This..."

She never expected that Yunyin would not only cause trouble on the border, but also infiltrate the area.

This made her wonder if the other three major countries might also have each occupied a village.

The most urgent task right now is to return to the Daming Prefecture of the Fire Kingdom. Hua Ling hasn't returned to her original form, so she must still be alive.

"But having to work again during a good holiday is really tiring."

"Sigh... I'll go talk to Mo first."

Uchiha Hato released the Shadow Clone Technique he had been practicing with, stood for a while, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at Root.

"Why are you here? Didn't we agree on a month?" Mo didn't even lift his eyelids, focusing on the painting in his hands.

"It's an emergency, and I didn't want to come either. Something happened to Hua Ling, and I have to go and fill in for her for a while," Uchiha Ye explained, then added, "By the way, your position in the Anbu gives you fifteen days of leave, and you only have three left."

After she finished speaking, she simply slipped away.

Sure enough, the next second they heard the sound of the table shattering.

"Damn it, she's been resting for so long and hasn't even come to the root department once. How can she be so shameless?"

With a gloomy expression, Mo arrived at the Root training ground, wearing the face of Shimura Danzo. The children who were already waiting saw his expression and felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, they had to do extra training, which was really unbearable.

"Asuma, has there been any news from the Daimyo yet?" Kazuma asked with a slightly anxious expression.

Asma shook his head. "The intelligence agency hasn't received any news. It seems the rumors are true; the situation looks grim."

"What are we going to do? Are we really going to let that person become a daimyo?!" Kazuma slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Di Lu spoke up from the side, "How about we do this..." He gestured at his neck as he spoke.

Seeing this, the two acquiesced. If there was really no other way, then this was the only option. However, they did not expect that Di Lu had changed so much. Despite being a monk, he had a stronger desire to kill than they did.

"Click..."

Just then, the office door rang, and someone they never expected walked in.

"Oh, you're all here!"

"Daimyo, you're alright!" Kazuma looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Of course, this was a scheme that I discussed and set up with Shisui."

"I didn't expect it to actually lead to such a big incident. I'll leave Shisui in the valley to handle the aftermath and come back first." Uchiha Ye had already prepared his explanation on the way here.

"I see."

"Daimyo, what should we do now?" All three of them turned to look at Uchiha Hato.

"Of course, I'll keep my return a secret. I want to deliver a fatal blow when they're happiest." Uchiha Ye said calmly, his eyes slightly narrowed. He then added, "By the way, don't let anyone know I'm back except for the three of you."

"Daimyo, do you suspect there is a traitor among the Twelve Warriors?" Asuma immediately seized on the key point and asked.

"It's not a doubt, it's a certainty. I have a list here for you to look at." Uchiha Ye took out the prepared document and handed it over.

"How is this possible!" The three looked at the list in their hands in disbelief.

"Money can move people's hearts; nothing is impossible," Uchiha Ye said, offering a word of comfort.

"Hmm... I guess that's a consolation!" she thought to herself.

Uchiha Ye didn't have time to wallow in their sentimentality. He stated his main purpose for coming here: "Bring me a detailed map of the Land of Fire."

When Asma heard this, he took a map from the shelf and came out of the first list of traitors.

Uchiha Ye spread the map out on the table and scanned it. When he saw the location of Xidi, his expression changed.

"Assuming the Hidden Cloud Village attacks Konoha from here, then the other three kingdoms will be in these three places, which will be enough to surround Konoha."

These four locations are all very remote, far from the border and unlikely to be discovered by patrol teams. Although they are some distance from Konoha, each has a very well-hidden route leading directly to the village.

Uchiha Yoh suddenly guessed what they were planning to do.

"But why? This part isn't in the story. Is it the butterfly effect?"

It seems that once things are settled here tomorrow, I'll have to head straight back to Konoha Village.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not entirely convinced by the information that Mo had brought back, so he sent another small team to investigate, and they returned today.

"The Third Generation Lord's situation is true; the four great nations have indeed joined forces and are active all over the borders of the Land of Fire."

After thinking for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered, "Go and summon Lord Shikaku."

"Yes!" The ANBU member, kneeling on one knee, responded and disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, Nara Shikaku arrived at the office. The two chatted for a long time and finally decided that the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would each lead their men to the border to prepare for battle.

Watching Shikaku's departing figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "I didn't expect that peace would be broken out again so soon. Can Konoha really withstand it this time?"

He really didn't want the Uchiha clan to go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

Suddenly, a rapid knocking sounded on the door.

Hiruzen Sarutobi composed himself and said, "Come in!"

"Third Hokage, something has happened to the Hyuga clan."

"what's the situation?"

He remembered that some time ago, the caged birds of the Hyuga clan's branch family disappeared overnight, causing great panic. Later, it was discovered that the Byakugan could still be protected, and things gradually calmed down, but the main family's power was greatly challenged.

Finally, the clan head established a system: "The most capable shall hold the position."

As long as you are strong enough and capable enough to win the hearts of your clan, you can become the next clan leader. In this way, there will be no distinction between the main family and the branch family, and the cohesion will be much higher than before. But what could possibly happen now that this matter has been resolved?

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked puzzled.

"Third Hokage, this is what happened. Last month, the daimyo of the Land of Lightning brought his son to the Land of Fire for a visit. Yesterday, on their way back, they happened to run into the Hyuga clan head with the eldest daughter of the main family. The daimyo's son harassed the eldest daughter, and the Hyuga clan head accidentally killed her."

"The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning said that either the Hokage should go and apologize to him in person, or the Hyuga clan head should atone with his death."

"What!" Hiruzen Sarutobi jumped to his feet upon hearing this. "What is all this about?"

The Hidden Cloud Village has been making unusually frequent moves lately. If they don't give the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning an explanation, he will definitely provide full assistance to the Hidden Cloud Village once he returns to the Land of Lightning.

If the Hokage of Konoha were to personally go and apologize, it would be a blatant disgrace to Konoha. The death of the Hyuga clan leader would not only result in the loss of a major fighting force, but would also destabilize the Hyuga clan, seriously affecting Konoha's stability and future plans. Neither of these options was what he wanted.

"Go and call the two advisors, and Lord Danzo over here."

Mo arrived at the Hokage's office with a strange feeling, mimicking Danzo Shimura's gloomy expression.

After waiting for a long time without them coming to a conclusion, given Danzo Shimura's personality, she suggested, "Let Hizashi Hyuga take the place of his brother, Hikaru Hyuga, and die as atonement."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, who had been talking, all shut their mouths.

After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke slowly, "I'm going to the Hyuga clan's territory."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Mo took the opportunity to tell the main body about the news.

Uchiha Ye was visibly stunned when he received this news after just purging the traitors. "What is going on? The changed plot always seems to come back to haunt us at the most unexpected times."

"She just couldn't believe that if she could save Hyuga Hizashi once, she couldn't save him a second time."

Uchiha Ye originally intended to stay in the Daimyo's residence for a while, but given the urgency of the situation, she decided to leave it to her subordinates. She immediately said to the three people beside her, "Asuma, Kazuma, and Jiraiya, I'll be leaving this place to you for the next while."

"I still have to go to Creek Land, so don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Daimyo, leave it to us." Kazuma patted his chest and assured him. Asuma, who had originally wanted to say that he would rest for a while, swallowed his words back. He looked at Kazuma with a resentful expression, "Isn't this guy tired at all? I really want to punch him a couple of times."

Uchiha Ye thought she would have to talk a lot more, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She liked having a career-oriented subordinate like Kazuma the most.

After arranging everything, she didn't linger and immediately returned to Konoha using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
