Chapter 70: Shiratori's Reminder
Time flies.
Ordinary civilians might not feel anything, but almost all the ninjas who were the big shots of the village realized that the atmosphere in Konoha was beginning to become tense.
The reason for this is probably the due date of the fourth Hokage's wife, the nine-tails Jinchūriki, Kushina Uzumaki… Is approaching.
At that time, the nine-tail seal will be at its weakest.
Shiratori Uchiha was walking on the street, a little distracted.
Through this period of time working in the Konoha Military Police Force, he actually discovered something… Which could barely be considered a good thing.
Although the ordinary people of Konoha do not like the Uchiha Clan, they do not reject them, let alone hate them.
They also have Uchiha friends, and they go shopping and visit friends in the Uchiha Clan.
Moreover, most people are also willing to go to the Konoha Military Police Force, which has a bad reputation when emergencies occur…
At least for now, the pressure on the Uchiha Clan mainly comes from the Konoha high-level officials, but after the nine-tails rebellion…
They can't accuse Konoha's people of being unable to distinguish right from wrong. After all, anyone with a normal eye can see the huge Sharingan pattern in the Nine-Tails' eyes…
Therefore, Shiratori's primary task now is to find a way to eliminate the suspicion of his clan in the nine-tails rebellion. This was the biggest crisis faced by the Uchiha Clan before the genocide and even one of the important fuses of the genocide.
"Shiratori?"
Well, let Uncle Fugaku control the nine-tails? He doesn't know if Fugaku Uchiha has the Mangekyō Sharingan now. If he doesn't, then it seems he won't have much help…
"Shiratori!"
"Ah?"
Shiratori was startled. He stood there and turned his head left and right to look for the source of the sound. Finally, he found Asuma on a roof nearby.
He jumped up and looked at the slightly weathered Asuma: "Why do you have an Ibiki vibe now? Are you heartbroken?"
"What nonsense are you talking about…"
Asuma sighed and took a sip of the… Lollipop that was between his fingers.
Watching Asuma's skilled movements, Shiratori felt that the time would soon come for him to replace his lollipops with cigarettes…
He's in puberty and about to rebel!
Sure enough, Asuma's next words confirmed Shiratori's guess.
"Shiratori, what do you think… Doesn't the Hokage's rule over Konoha have a legal basis? The Daimyo is the head of state of the Land of Fire, but he cannot govern the specific affairs of Konoha…"
Asuma opened up, and a series of things like class, rule, power, system, and so on came out of his mouth.
Shiratori smiled slightly, turned around, and left before the other party finished speaking.
Are you kidding me? Talking to me about this?
Let's not talk about whether I understand or not…
Don't want the book anymore?
Goodbye!
"Hey, hey, hey—don't go, I haven't finished talking yet!"
"I'm busy, going to a meeting."
Shiratori jumped off the roof.
"What's the urgent meeting? Can't you chat with me for a while longer?" Asuma shouted.
"The Jonin meeting is presided over by the Hokage. Didn't you also receive the call? Oh, I forgot, you are not a Jonin yet." Shiratori waved his hand and ran away.
Asuma: "…"
He felt that he had become even more vicissitudes…
… … …
"I'm really sorry for causing so much trouble to everyone because of Kushina's matter."
At the end of the meeting, Minato stood up and bowed to everyone to apologize.
The Jonin in the conference room hurriedly stood up, and when Shiratori stood up, he pulled up the Yashiro, who was picking his nose in a daze nearby.
"You are too kind, fourth Hokage! Protecting the nine-tails, Jinchūriki is the duty of the Konoha's ninjas."
"Yes, before, it was the fourth Hokage-sama who protected us; now it's our turn to protect the fourth Hokage's family!"
"We will definitely be on high alert and not give any chance to the ninjas from other villages!"
"Fourth Hokage…"
Shiratori followed everyone else and showed a determined look, mumbling something, but he didn't even know what he was saying…
The meeting was over, and the Jonin filed out one after another. The Jonin of the Uchiha Clan, who was sitting at the end of the meeting room, was naturally the last to leave.
When walking out of the meeting room, Shiratori suddenly looked at a burly young man next to him and then asked casually: "Kawa Nii-san, do you think it would be more beneficial for us if the fourth Hokage took charge of Konoha than the third Hokage?"
Although Kawa Uchiha looks like a reckless man, he is actually one of the few steady people among the radicals of the Uchiha Clan.
He thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe. Although I personally think the fourth is stronger in terms of strength, however… The fourth and third Hokage have completely different philosophies."
"What do you mean?"
"The fourth Hokage has a pure ninja mindset, while the third is more like a politician… Hehe, if the third Hokage lived in the capital of the Land of Fire, he would probably have a lot of common topics with those nobles."
Shiratori nodded and looked at several familiar Jonin in the clan: "Senpais, please go back first; I still have something to do."
Hokage's office.
Shiratori knocked on the door and came in.
"Fourth Hokage."
"Oh? It's Shiratori? Please wait for me, there are some urgent matters…"
"It's okay. My business is not urgent."
Fifteen minutes later.
Minato handed the documents to the Anbu ninja and then looked at Shiratori.
Shiratori watched the Anbu ninja leave until the office door was closed, and then he said solemnly: "Fourth Hokage, I'm here to remind you of something."
"Shiratori, you don't have to be so restrained here with me."
Shiratori looked at Minato Namikaze and said in a serious tone: "Fourth Hokage, the day when Kushina-senpai gives birth… May be much more dangerous than you think."
Hearing this, Minato sat up straighter.
"Shiratori, do you know something?"
Shiratori didn't say anything; he just looked at Minato Namikaze quietly.
Minato suddenly realized, and he promised Shiratori that he would never leak today's conversation. Shiratori also believed in Minato's promise; at least the other party's character was not a problem.
Then Shiratori's words startled Minato so much that he almost jumped up.
"Madara Uchiha may not be dead."
Obito's matter definitely cannot be explained. Otherwise, he would become a charlatan, so he simply pulled out Madara Uchiha since his ancestor was not clean anyway…
He gave Minato a brief explanation of Izanagi, but, of course, he did not tell him the specific effects, activation conditions, activation costs, or even the name of the technique.
He just vaguely reminded Minato Namikaze that Madara Uchiha might have survived by relying on a forbidden technique of the clan.
Madara Uchiha possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan and has signed a summoning contract with the nine-tails. Although he is very old now (if he is not dead), we still have to be on guard against him.
Minato was very grateful for Shiratori's reminder and said he would take it seriously.
Shiratori and Minato exchanged a few more words before standing up to leave.
He walked out of the Hokage building and suddenly laughed.
"You still don't trust us…"
In fact, on the day of the Jinchūriki's birth, the Uchiha Clan should be the ones who are reliable to protect her.
Ordinary Sharingan cannot control the tailed beasts, but if the seal of the Jinchūriki is loosened, Uchiha's Sharingan can completely cooperate with the Jinchūriki to suppress the tail beasts.
Of course, the escort work at this time will be entirely undertaken by the Anbu, and all other Jonins in the village will not participate.
So, on the surface, there was no suspicion or doubt about Uchiha's intentions…
Shiratori felt that he might be… Overthinking?
