______________________________________

The garrison is a stroke of rich color in Konoha.

It was established during the ruling period of the second generation of Naruto Senju Tomona, and all its members were ninjas from the Uchiha clan, who were responsible for maintaining public order in the village.

This is not only an affirmation of the strength of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, but in a sense, it also means prevention and surveillance.

Because most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan who have opened Sharingan are not very stable in mood, so we must strictly pay attention to these people.

But no matter what, because the power of the security team is too great, and Uchiha is Konoha's super-class blood successor limit ninja, based on this situation, even Hokage often sells them a face.

The guard building is where the members of the guard work. Most of the people who come and go here are ninjas of the Uchiha clan. Occasionally, there are ninjas or civilians who commit crimes, and they are brought inside for instruction. These ninjas and civilians may have violated some regulations in the village, but they are harmless. It is a civil dispute, and at most they will be detained for a few days and half a month.

If the circumstances are serious, they will be sent to Konoha Prison for reform.

As for the work process, there is basically no need to report to Hokage. As long as there are no major problems, Hokage will not bother with such things.

Although there are already several baskets of complaint letters complaining about the arrogance and domineering of the security forces and the arbitrary detainment of people.

Some of them were truly wronged because of negligence, and some were fanning the flames behind, trying to slander the Uchiha clan.

After entering the security force, Liuli would see such trivial matters every day.

After all, it is very rare to find out the spies in the village, or encounter enemies attacking Konoha.

Most of the time, the task of the security team is to deal with these civil disputes.

If they are handled well, most of them won't get a good reputation. Once they are not handled well, all kinds of complaints will come to their door.

In addition, most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan have a direct temper. When they can't help it, they will beat those who speak out loud, which will attract more accusations.

"It's really boring..."

Liuli stood inside the Guard Building, on the corridor on the third floor, looking at the crowd coming and going outside through the glass, and could clearly see in front of the square of the Guard Building, two Uchiha ninjas from the Guard pressing down several people to come in. As a result, in the square, the two sides were arguing fiercely.

"It's boring, but this is what the security forces have to go through every day. Especially after retiring from the front line, it's hard to adapt to such a peaceful life."

Walking to Liuli's side was Uchiha Jonin and Uchiha Fugaku.

He knew that Liuli had just been transferred from Shuo Mao's team to the security team, so she couldn't switch her current identity for a while.

Unlike the exciting life of the Shuo Mao team, the work of the security team is indeed much more monotonous.

After seeing the dispute in front of the police building, Fu Yue didn't make any comments. This kind of situation has long been used to it.

"For such a thankless job, the rest of the ninja clan should also join in. Our clan alone cannot deal with the gossip and gossip of these people."

Contrary to Fuyue, Liuli is not afraid of such meaningless rumors, but if she hears or reads too much, she will get bored.

It's like chattering flies.

There are too few ninjas and civilians in Konoha who can truly look at them rationally.

Those like Shuo Mao are even rarer among the rare.

It's not that Uchiha has no friends in Konoha, but there are very few people who can be called friends.

There are also some who are neutral, and more who complain about the arrogance of the security team.

This is also where Liuli is dissatisfied. If she is blamed, it would be good if all the ninjas are blamed together, and can share a lot of Uchiha's pressure.

And with the addition of other ninja ninjas, it will be easier to handle these civil disputes.

For example, the Inokacho clan, or Hinata, who is also a blood-successor bound ninja, their secret techniques and abilities are also assigned to serve in the guard team.

"But this is the backbone that only our Uchiha clan can carry, and if the power of the guard team is distributed to the rest of the ninja clan, many people in the clan will have objections."

As the only ninja who took the lead in founding Konoha, the Uchiha clan should enjoy this kind of treatment, not sit on an equal footing with the rest of the ninja.

"Only one family maintains absolute power. No matter how much power is divided, it will not affect the family's status in Konoha. People with discerning eyes will not underestimate us. As for those mediocre people, Uchiha's power is not for those idiots to watch."

This is how Liuli viewed it.

Fu Yue didn't say anything. He knew that Liuli's strategy could not be passed at the family meeting and would be rejected by many people.

"Speaking of which, aren't you on a mission outside?"

Liuli knew that Fuyue was currently working for the Hokage faction, and formed a new team with the rest of the ninjas in the village to carry out tasks.

"I also have a name in the security team, but after the mission is completed, I just come back here to have a look. It's still the same as before, not much has changed."

Fu Yue sighed.

"I kind of want to go out and perform missions."

Liuli said so.

"Be patient, this is something that every Uchiha ninja will go through. Speaking of which, how much do you know about the Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Fu Yue turned to chat with Liuli about other topics.

"You're asking the wrong person. I don't necessarily know as much about Kaleidoscope Sharingan as you do."

Liuli shook her head. In the past few years, she has met with Elder Sifang very few times. On the one hand, it is because of the mission, and on the other hand, she really feels that he is getting old.

He was no longer the elder in her mind who was full of wisdom and could give her a lot of effective experience.

Especially the incident at the root was always a thorn in her heart.

If she doesn't pull out this thorn, she will feel that her thoughts cannot be understood.

"Elder Sifang's tone is very strict. The reason why he didn't say anything may be because the conditions for opening the Kaleidoscope Sharingan are very harsh to us."

Fu Yue nodded and expressed his opinion.

With the information currently available, we can only guess such information.

For example, stronger emotional stimulation?

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is such an evolved power.

If he hadn't been convinced of the character of Elder Sifang, Fu Yue would have felt that the so-called Kaleidoscope Sharingan was really just a legend.

Liuli is not very interested in this topic. Regarding the kaleidoscope Sharingan, she also holds the idea that it is best to open it. If it cannot be opened, she will learn fairy art and use natural energy to fight.

One cannot be induced by power. To be truly powerful, one should turn power into a part of oneself, rather than simply becoming a puppet dominated by power.

The more one knows about the infinite possibilities of natural energy, the human power is sometimes really very small in the face of this vast and endless world.

No matter how powerful a ninja is, they cannot leave this world. They need this world to give birth.

People should be in awe of the world.

"Well, the person looking for you is here, so I won't disturb your date. Let's talk next time we have a chance."

Fuyue turned his head and saw something, smiled at Liuli, and walked away tactfully.

On the opposite side of the corridor, Baishi was standing there. He came to look for Liuli.

In the eyes of many Uchiha ninjas, Shiraishi is considered half of the Uchiha tribe.

A genius Tong Yangfu.

Although I don't know why their Uchiha genius girl fell in love with such an ordinary man, I can only say that they have unique tastes. As outsiders, they only need blessings.

Sooner or later, you will be married.

Therefore, Shiraishi is free to come and go in and out of the guard team where people are generally not allowed to visit. Occasionally, Uchiha ninjas will greet him, and Shiraishi will smile back at them.

Some Uchiha ninjas are very irritable, their attitudes are really arrogant, and some are easy to talk to, at least they won't say things like 'our Uchiha' all the time.

On the roof of the Guard Building.

The breeze blew slowly, and Liuli was wearing a black tight-fitting ninja outfit, leaning lightly on the railing on the edge of the roof, and asked first, "Is it because you don't have enough money to find me at this time?"

"Why do you think it has something to do with money?"

Baishi suddenly felt a little helpless.

"Because every time you come to me suddenly, it's because of money."

Liuli is used to this.

"Although the funds are indeed a little short, they are still enough to squander. This time I have other things to talk to you about."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Since it's not about money, it shouldn't be a very important thing.

"Chong Nan and the others found a few remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the country of tea."

Baishi shared this information.

Liuli immediately looked towards Baishi's face, and the relaxed posture disappeared from her body.

"The Uzumaki family?"

I want to confirm the authenticity of this information.

"Well, the Uzumaki family."

Shiraishi confirmed this.

"Hehe, isn't it, this is really interesting."

Even Liuli, who can ignore many things, couldn't help laughing when she heard the news.

Baishi nodded, showing that it really did.

Liuli's reaction was not beyond his expectations.

Most of the reason why the organization was established was Liuli's contribution. Although the manager is Baishi, there is no denying Liuli's status in the organization.

To a certain extent, Liuli is the real commander of the organization, but she is usually too lazy to take care of things.

And it is ironic that the Uzumaki Clan, who are closely related to the Senshou Clan, are now in such a state of desperation that they need her, a member of the Uchiha Clan, to help them.

After all, the Uchiha clan has been in a hostile relationship with the Senju clan for many years, and the relationship with the Uzumaki clan is naturally very bad.

I don't know how those deceased ancestors of the Uzumaki clan who were friends with the Qianshou clan would feel if Quanxia knew about it?

I really want to see what kind of complicated expression the first generation of Hokage will show after learning about it.

Most of Konoha's existing sealing techniques, including Tailed Beast's sealing ninjutsu, all come from the Uzumaki clan.

As a result, the Uzumaki country where the Uzumaki clan resides is the neighboring country of the Fire Nation. The country was wiped out right under their noses, and the clansmen fled everywhere, hiding their names and living a precarious life.

The current Vortex Country is full of destroyed ruins, and the population loss is very serious.

"I remember when I was in school, there was a red-haired transfer student in the next class. His name seemed to be Kushina Uzumaki."

After laughing, Liuli's face returned to normal, and she remembered what she said.

"That's right. The Uzumaki clan ninjas have very strong vitality and are very suitable for being Jinchuriki. They also have a powerful seal technique. The seal technique to seal the Nine Tails was given to Konoha by the Uzumaki clan. The vitality is strong, suitable for Jinchuriki, and they can also use the seal technique, which ensures that the tailed beast will no longer have the possibility of running wild."

"So that's how it is. After being destroyed, I came to Konoha immediately... Is it related to Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Regarding the matter of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, this is Konoha's top secret, and it is impossible for Konoha's high-level officials to let irrelevant people know.

Although many people have already guessed who Konoha's previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was, this is the most likely and most suitable candidate.

Uzumaki Mito—the wife of the first Hokage.

It is estimated that when the Uzumaki Kingdom perishes, the body will no longer be able to do so, so the young Uzumaki clan will be needed as human powers to become the new container to seal the Nine Tails.

"She is most likely Nine-Tails Jinchuriki now. According to the information provided by those survivors of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha did indeed take one of their clansmen from the Uzumaki clan at that time."

Shiraishi wasn't very impressed with Uzumaki Kushina, but only remembered that her red hair was more vivid.

However, it is easy to get these answers by contacting the information he has obtained and analyzing it back and forth.

Even if there are discrepancies, Uzumaki Kushina is a very important existence to Konoha's senior management.

Otherwise, it cannot be explained. The Uzumaki Kingdom perished, and Konoha only brought back a little girl.

Apart from bringing back to be the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the other possibilities are not very great.

"Do you want to play Nine-Tails' idea?"

Baishi paid so much attention to the Uzumaki Clan, which gave Liuli this kind of guess.

Shiraishi once obtained a chakra with a tail guarding a crane on the battlefield, and obtained a lot of important information from the tailed beast chakra. It is only natural for Liuli to be interested in the other tailed beasts.

"Although I really want to do this, I haven't lost my mind to that point."

Baishi knew how much he had now. Although he was not afraid of Konoha, it was a judgment based on the premise that he could save his life.

If you really want to face off with such a large Ninja Village, you will only lose.

And there are many taboos that Konoha cannot violate, and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is one of them.

"I came to you not only to tell you this, but also to tell you something more important. You must be mentally prepared."

"What?"

Liuli frowned and asked.

"The high-level Muye, they are researching Mudun, and they may have very fruitful results now."

◎

The country of tea, an underground stronghold.

Zong Man stayed in the same room with a Uzumaki clansman to communicate. This was the oldest Uzumaki clansman among the eight people he rescued, and he was also the speaker among the eight people.

At this moment, he changed into clean clothes, the plaster and the smell on his body were also washed off, and he looked much more refreshed.

For the savior, Zong Nan, he was undoubtedly full of gratitude in his heart.

Over the years, with his meager strength, he has led his family to wander around in the ninja world. Since the Uzumaki Kingdom perished, their family has not lived a peaceful day.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, but the life he lived after being captured by those wandering ninjas was the most stable life in these years.

Even if he ate moldy food every day, he still enjoyed it.

Looking back on the glory of the Uzumaki clan in the past, compared with the current situation, their eyes could not help but feel sad.

"About your arrangement, the leader has given you detailed instructions. We will help you settle down in the Ghost Country, but in that case, you will need to remain anonymous temporarily, and you will not be exposed to public view. When the time is right, you can be arranged to live under the sun."

Because the identity of the Uzumaki clan is too easy to cause trouble, and their organization currently does not intend to do anything eye-catching.

Whether it is collecting intelligence or building strongholds, they are all carried out quietly.

"No problem, we are ready to remain anonymous."

The elders of the Whirlpool Clan did not object to the leader's proposal, rather, it was very much in line with the current situation of the Whirlpool Clan.

When the Uzumaki Kingdom was alive, they didn't feel this way, but with what they've seen and heard over the years, as well as the pain they've experienced, now it's enough to continue the Uzumaki family's bloodline.

"But don't worry, this time won't be too long. For us, joining the Uzumaki clan can also relieve a lot of pressure. Our organization has always been open to outstanding talents."

"May I ask, what does the organization do?"

The old man of the Whirlpool clan couldn't help asking.

Now that he has decided to accept the protection of this unknown organization, he must find out a thing or two about the purpose of the organization.

The worm man gave a very helpless smile: "Actually, I am just a moderate cadre. I know very little about the purpose of the organization. I can only feel that the leader is doing a very big thing. You can only ask our leader for the specifics. I am also very curious about the answer."

When he said this, there was an obvious awe in his tone.

The old man from the Whirlpool clan remained silent and did not ask any further questions.

Seeing that his goal has been achieved, the worm man does not intend to stay here any longer.

"Then, let's rest here for a while. In a few days, we will arrange for someone to send you to the country of ghosts. It is a very peaceful country. I hope the peace there can sweep away the haze in your hearts."

After saying this, the worm man left the room.

The four team members outside have been waiting for him to come out of the room.

"How about comfort?"

"I've already come in, so it's not easy to get out. It's not so easy to repay the favor of the organization, let alone..."

The leader is still a research madman.

How can I spit out the fat that reaches my mouth.

They could hear the hidden meaning behind the man's words, and they all smiled knowingly.

"However, these people should still hide something from us."

The worm man stood on the spot and pondered.

"Hiding?"

"These survivors of the Uzumaki clan scattered all over the ninja world may still have a way of connection. Through these people, we may be able to find more survivors of the Uzumaki clan and absorb them into the organization."

"Will you put a long line to catch big fish?"

"That's what the leader meant. In short, appease them first, and when they see our sincerity, even if we don't take the initiative to mention it, they will come to us and ask us to tell the other remnants of the Uzumaki clan where they are, so that we can save their clansmen from the sea of suffering."

If it was an ordinary person, the worm man would not be so concerned, but the survivors of the Uzumaki clan are another matter.

Therefore, the trust between the two parties is the key.

Directly asking them about the whereabouts of the other Uzumaki people would easily arouse their resentment and consume the meager trust they had built up with great difficulty.

◎

It's a dark and damp cave, which looks unbelievably wide.

The entire space is sealed, and there is no so-called exit.

A frail old man was sitting on a wooden chair made of trees. His face was covered with wrinkles and his hair was gray. Even when he was sitting on the wooden chair, his body was bent.

His long white hair covered his right eye, only his closed left eye was exposed, and he sat on a chair to rest peacefully.

Behind him was a white strip-like object. At the other end of the white strip, there was an endless darkness stretching out behind him, and the outlines of huge trees and fruits could be vaguely seen.

Not long after, the ground in front of the old man suddenly squirmed slightly, and two pale-skinned humanoid creatures emerged from it.

The old man didn't open his eyes, but he seemed to know that there was someone in front of him, and asked:

"Is there still no definite news?"

The old man's voice was extremely old.

But when this old voice sounded, everything around seemed to stop, becoming the only loud thing in the darkness.

"No, the Bai Jue who was monitoring Nagato disappeared suddenly for some reason. The rest of Bai Jue searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of that Bai Jue."

One of the two white humanoids answered the old man.

"Master Madara, could it be that Nagato discovered the trace of that Bai Jue and disposed of him?"

And another white humanoid creature started to guess wildly on its own initiative and reported to the old man.

"Idiot, based on past intelligence analysis, Nagato's reincarnation eye is still very immature. With Nagato's current strength, there is no way to detect Bai Jue's trace."

"But apart from Nagato, UU read books www.uukanshu.com, and none of his miscellaneous fish companions exist. It is impossible to detect the traces of Bai Jue."

The white humanoid creature said with a puzzled expression.

And even a perception ninja may not be able to detect Bai Jue's trace, unless it is a special perception ninjutsu.

Or the pupil technique with very strong perspective ability like Baiyan, for them, it is much more troublesome than perceiving ninjas.

"Nagato continues to monitor, and let A Fei also act together. In addition, send a few Bai Ze to Konoha."

The old man's voice sounded again, giving clear instructions.

"Konoha? Madara-sama suspects that it's the people from Konoha?"

"It's not just because of Bai Jue's disappearance. I don't have much time left. Nagato alone is not enough to promote the 'Eye of the Moon' plan. I also need a spokesperson who can act in my place...Go for it."

The old man's tone was still contemptuous, but it gave people an undeniable deterrent force.

"Yes, Madara-sama."

After the two white humanoid creatures retreated, the old man opened his closed left eye. It was a scarlet three-goal jade sharing sharing eye, which was particularly eye-catching in a dim environment.

"Hashirama... The future you entrusted has no place for peace at all... I won this time..."

In the darkness, the old man sighed with regret.

But even so, there is no way to prove anything to anyone.

Because the man who was cherished by him all his life, who was both his opponent and his best friend, no longer exists in this world.

He slowly raised his hand and touched his chest lightly.

The wound that was stabbed by that man felt like it happened just yesterday, and there was a nostalgic smile on the old face.

Between the pillars...
