Chapter 55: Is war coming?

"This situation has really exceeded my expectations!" Natsuo helplessly slapped his forehead. 

Uchiha Madara has unexpectedly become a popular figure, admired by the entire ninja world. 

And the ninja world was filled with the smell of gunpowder, with an atmosphere that seemed as if a war could break out at any moment.

This is completely different from the original story! 

Natsuo understands that this is his own butterfly effect, because he has attacked Danzō twice, causing Konoha to feel a great sense of crisis.

And Konoha's increased security has also raised the vigilance of other countries. 

Spies from all sides are frantically dispatched, conducting mutual surveillance, and the hidden struggles instantly escalate. 

The Ninja World has been resting for a long time, so it's not surprising that a major war could break out at any time! 

In fact, in the original plot, if it were not for the fact that during the Chūnin Exams three years later, the Kazekage and the Third Hokage were killed by Orochimaru, causing both Ninja Villages to lose their leaders at the same time, the Fourth Great Shinobi War would have broken out at any moment.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Fourth Great Ninja War was a joint effort of the Five Great Nations against Akatsuki. 

In reality, if Obito could wait a few more years, the ninja world would have started fighting on its own—when their strength becomes formidable, they naturally want to gain more benefits, which will naturally lead to more conflicts. 

All nations have rested and recovered to some extent, so it's time to act!

'Well, I still got a lot of benefits in this last attack on Root's base, it's better to use those precious materials and research equipment, and not continue to provoke Danzō and the others.' Natsuo thought. 'Lest Danzō reacts in an extreme way and interrupts my plan to revive the Uchiha clan.'

Natsuo dug a large hole underground beneath the 'Uchiha Maternity Center' and put up a warning barrier, then threw all the things he got from Danzō into it.

Especially Fugaku and Mikoto's eyes, he kept them carefully. And Uzumaki Kushina's blood, he placed it together with the above two items in the safest core location. 

As for materials like Namikaze Minato's bone marrow, they were in a secondary position. 

"Take good care of them, maybe I can revive Uzumaki Kushina in the future!" 

After arranging various instruments, connecting the power supply, and properly storing the materials, Natsuo finally began his own research.

'I don't need to seek immortality like Orochimaru does.' Natsuo thought. "What I need to investigate is how I can give ordinary ninjas more powerful abilities." 

Things like the Mangekyō Sharingan, Sage Mode, and Wood Style that Orochimaru hopes to obtain are not Natsuo's goals at all. 

Even if these things can be researched, can they be used by Natsuo's wives who only have the strength of Chūnin? Can they control them? That's a joke! 

"My first goal will temporarily be to develop my own version of Orochimaru's Cursed Seal."

As a low-level substitute for Sage Mode, although the amplification is weaker, it is enough to give Chūnin-level ninjas the combat power of Jōnin-level.

However, while Orochimaru doesn't hesitate to use the Cursed Seal on his subordinates, Natsuo must reduce the mortality rate of the Cursed Seal and make it safe and controllable. 

"Jūgo's cells are already in place, and I can also observe Anko's Cursed Seal up close. Isn't it easy to copy Orochimaru's work?"

Let's get started! 

... 

While Natsuo was busy with his research, the scent of gunpowder in the ninja world intensified. 

The Anbu and the Root have already come into conflict several times on the borders of the other major countries.

Due to the large number of enemies, they often find themselves at a disadvantage. 

At this time, even the Ninja Clan no longer demands severe punishment for Danzō, because Danzō has always been Konoha's sharpest weapon, both internally and externally, and is very powerful. 

Although the Third Hokage's ban has not been lifted, Danzō has already left and officially taken control of the Root, and the shinobi of Ninja Clan have also started to support missions outside. 

Finally, they fought on equal terms with other major countries. 

The scent of gunpowder within Konoha Village is also strong, with the prices of ninja tools continuously rising, and the prices of minerals also increasing, allowing the Uchiha, who manage mines, to make a fortune. 

Although Natsuo is distracted by his research, the revival of the Uchiha clan, his main job, has not been delayed. 

Due to the thick smell of gunpowder, some kunoichis who are not good at fighting have taken on the task of 'having children to revive the Uchiha clan', hoping that by marrying into the Uchiha clan they will no longer be sent to the battlefield.

As a result, Natsuo's harem has once again expanded, making the Third Hokage so angry that he wants to cancel the Uchiha clan's mission. 

But they are all ninjas. At this time, when facing an impending war, manpower is precious! 

"War is about to begin again." Yūhi Kurenai sighed softly, touching her swollen belly, with a face full of lamentation. "I hope it doesn't break out too soon, otherwise, how can I go to the battlefield in this state..." 

"You have it easy, you're not a relatively powerful ninja anyway." Her best friend, Anko, also sighed. "I'm more worried about Natsuo." 

"Natsuo is a Jōnin, once the war breaks out, the village won't let him stay at home, then..."

Of the Uchiha clan, only one adult ninja remains. But this is also the fate of a ninja, they have no choice. 

They can only sigh like everyone else and say. 'If the First Hokage had listened to Uchiha Madara back then, it would have been better,' and end the topic. 

Yūhi Kurenai sighed lightly; she was also very worried about this issue. After all, he is the father of the child in her belly! 

And thinking about Natsuo, Yūhi Kurenai's face suddenly turned red. 

"But speaking of which, Kurenai..." Anko suddenly leaned over. 

Yūhi Kurenai was startled: "What are you doing?" 

"Nothing, I just noticed that you suddenly blushed, are you thinking about our husband?" Anko smirked. "If you want, should I call him over for you?" 

"You're pregnant and need attention right now!" 

Yūhi Kurenai gave Anko a glare. "He's your husband, I didn't marry into the Uchiha clan." 

"But I see you two being quite intimate..." Anko covered her mouth and smirked. 

Yūhi Kurenai looked embarrassed. Although they couldn't do anything because of the pregnancy, cuddling and hugging seemed to have become a habit. 

After all... 

"He is the father of the child in my belly, can I not let him listen to the baby's movements..." 

Yūhi Kurenai wasn't lacking in money and had a proud personality. Natsuo would never force her.

But as a father, it was only natural for him to listen to the baby's movements, right? 

When listening, he had to put his head against her belly, right? 

To prevent the pregnant woman from getting tired from inconvenient movements, it was reasonable to put his arm around her waist, right?

After cuddling, it was normal to carry her back to the room, right? 

And occasionally, when she found it difficult to move, he would feed her a few bites of food, worry about the water being too hot and help test the temperature with his lips, help her with a towel when it was inconvenient to take a bath... 

Although it seemed like they hadn't done anything, it was all normal. But it felt like they were just a step away from doing something more intimate! 

"Yes, yes, you're right." Anko nodded with a grin. "I believe you, you two are pure!" 

"Even if you hug my handsome husband every day, I believe you don't have any other thoughts!" 

"Even if my husband has eight-pack abs, a well-defined chest, beautiful lines, and broad shoulders..." 

"But I completely trust you!" 

"I believe you've never thought about touching him! Feeling the hardness of those muscles!"

Yūhi Kurenai: "..." 

"I'm not a pervert!" Yūhi Kurenai rolled her eyes. 

But even she had to admit that although Natsuo had a harem, it made independent women like her somewhat resistant. But his appearance was really outstanding. 

An extremely beautiful appearance, coupled with a perfectly toned body, as well as having the charisma to make women laugh uncontrollably.

It was actually pretty good. Because of that, she slowly began to accept Natsuo, but at least she could still show some posture, not to the point of looking at her beautiful appearance and acting like a pervert.

Karin, that little girl, was the real pervert! 

A few days ago, she caught the little girl peeking at Natsuo while he was taking a bath. She was about to scold her, but Karin hurriedly ran off and went into the bathroom. 

Yūhi Kurenai approached out of curiosity and heard some strange sounds, and her expression instantly became one of shock. How old is she...
