Chapter 158

Kaito never denied one thing, that he was a person suffering from indecision.

Even if he hadn't had this issue originally, he would have been driven to it helplessly when faced with his own system.

Looking at the nine skills before him, Kaito was completely at a loss. Given that he could only choose three skills, Kaito had no choice but to make some difficult decisions.

First of all, he chose 'Courage', a skill that could enhance his Yang Release capabilities.

The power of Yang Release had always been exceedingly precious. Since he had encountered it, Kaito naturally couldn't miss it.

As a Uchiha, he probably didn't need to worry about his Yin Release. However, their Yang Release abilities seemed to be cut off by someone.

They had it, since it's the most fundamental power of life that everyone possesses. But it was very hard for their Yang Release power to grow.

Maybe other Uchihas wouldn't care too much about this, but for someone like Kaito who knows the real development path of the Uchiha, it's unacceptable.

"So, the power of Yang Release absolutely cannot be missed!"

After choosing 'Courage' as the first skill, Kaito hesitated for a long time before finally choosing 'Thunder Prison Pull' as his second skill.

He had seen this technique quite a few times, and Kaito found that he seemed to have a real affinity with the electric mouse.

The first time he drew a skill, Kaito encountered his 'Ultimate Art · Chidori'. Later, he encountered 'Thunder Prison Pull' twice.

Given his affinity with the electric mouse Kennen and the fact that Kaito indeed lacked a lightning release, making this choice seemed normal.

However, making this choice meant that Kaito basically couldn't choose the Glacial Storm, and also couldn't choose the unique Wood Release from the big tree in this world.

But Kaito didn't really regret this, mainly because he never thought of using Ice Release and Wood Release. At least for now, they are not suitable for him.

There are indeed users of Ice Release in this world, but the problem is that the only one left is the White one beside Zabuza.

This means that the legacy of the Ice Release family, which Kaito once mistakenly thought was called Mizu no Tsuki but is actually called Yuki, has been cut off.

After obtaining this technique, Kaito could only use Ice Storm in a step-by-step manner. Even though the technique was powerful, it lacked variation and flexibility.

This didn't really match Kaito's fighting style. Even though he was skilled in using techniques, he wouldn't foolishly stand in one place and cast large-scale ninjutsu.

He didn't have confidence that his control over Ice Release could be as flexible as Fire Release, and he couldn't use existing frost to cast other techniques. This meant he wouldn't be able to perfectly restrict his enemies.

After all, Kaito's enemies were also ninja, and they might even be some formidable ninja that would make people despair. They wouldn't stupidly stand in one place waiting for you to attack.

As for the Wood Release of the Great Tree, the Vortex of Revenge actually looked quite similar to the Advent of a World of Trees that Uchiha Madara used to play with Naruto.

There are indeed enough records about Wood Release in Konoha, and Kaito could definitely get them with his own status.

But once he used it, how would he explain it?

He had just accused Sarutobi Hiruzen and others of 'desecrating the body of the First Hokage, and arbitrarily researching the power of the clan's bloodline', pushing them into the abyss.

Then, he turns around and, as Uchiha Madara, he can use Wood Release. Would he dare to say he hasn't done any research?

This kind of situation can't be explained clearly, and there's no way to explain it. Even if Kaito got it, he could only tuck it away at the bottom, unable to use it.

So, does he still need to take it?

"Although my heart hurts, one must lose to gain. The necessary sacrifices can provide me with more room for development."

Kaito comforted himself in extreme pain, for a wood release that he couldn't use, to give up two positions for skill selection, was something Kaito really couldn't do.

However, the Thunder Prison Pull was different, the Uchiha clan had a lot of records about lightning release.

Not to mention anything else, but in Kaito's mind, he basically remembered all the lightning release techniques that his disciple Sasuke came up with.

Chidori was not something difficult to learn. He could copy Kakashi's Chidori with his Sharingan, and then he could create some 'original development'.

"After all, Thunder Prison Pull is a technique that can be used over a wide area, and it can be used while moving!"

The fact that the Thunder Prison Pull could be deployed while moving quickly was what attracted Kaito the most.

Being able to move or not being able to move are two different concepts for a large-scale technique, and the key is that Kaito is a man who possesses 'Void Walking'.

Imagine, if Kaito performed the Thunder Prison Pull and then Void Walked into the crowd, that scene would be quite spectacular!

Without mincing words, the combination of these two techniques definitely gave his melee combat abilities a huge boost.

This is the ultimate practical ninjutsu combination. Thinking about this made Kaito feel much better.

As for the final ability selection, Kaito almost gritted his teeth to choose 'Great Annihilation'.

The description that it could affect Susano'o really made Kaito's heart flutter, and the third stage of Susano'o had a fatal weakness.

That was, the Susano'o at this stage didn't have legs, which meant Kaito could only drag this massive and clumsy Susano'o around by himself.

Although he had the Flying Thunder God Technique, which largely avoided this weakness, running up to the sky when it was time to fight on the ground seemed rather strange no matter how one looked at it.

And the 'Great Annihilation' ability seemed to have solved Kaito's troubles on land. It allowed Kaito to maintain a certain degree of mobility even in the third stage of Susano'o.

Furthermore, Great Annihilation could increase the size. If this was applied to Susano'o, it would be another unimaginable upgrade.

Kaito's third-stage Susano'o had already reached a height of about fifty meters. Don't think this is short, after all, Kaito's Susano'o didn't have legs.

And it's only the third stage, the size naturally couldn't compare to Uchiha Itachi, future Sasuke, or even Kakashi who had an external upgrade.

But by using this technique, Kaito could at least ensure that in the upper body, his Susano'o would not be weaker than those guys!

And once Kaito reached the stage in the future where he could activate the final Susano'o, this Great Annihilation will provide an increase in size.

Then, Kaito can affirm that his Susano'o will definitely be the largest, and he can even try to catch up to their ancestor Indra's level!

"So choosing this technique, is not only an immediate boost to the current combat power, but also a guarantee for the future combat power..."

...

Although Kaito was quite satisfied with his choice, there was still a hint of helplessness in his heart.

But now that the decision has been made, Kaito decided not to think about it too much.

After all, every choice he made was based on his immediate needs, so even if there were some regrets, it was the most suitable for what Kaito needed.

After a good night's sleep, Kaito felt refreshed when he woke up the next morning.

He didn't go out last night to experiment with his new abilities, as he felt quite tired at the moment.

There was no need to elaborate on the strength of Uchiha Madara. A revived corpse with its own will, coupled with the possession of the dojutsu, and combat experience beyond imagination.

Kaito had really been fighting without reservation. The intensity of such a battle made him feel suffocated, and he felt extremely tired.

However, fortunately, Kaito's recovery ability was also very excellent, having been modified by both the 'Dark Scythe' and 'Divine Ascension'.

Even though his recovery ability couldn't compare to Senju Hashirama or even Tsunade, overall it was still quite good.

"Besides, the biggest gain from this battle was the improvement in combat experience."

Kaito was quite lucky. He was born at a relatively safe point in time. Even in the Third War, he only went to experience it at the end.

Even though he was a mission ninja, how could the missions he received compare to the brutality of a war?

Especially with his rapid increase in strength now, his mastery of his current strength was frankly mediocre.

It's not to say that he didn't know how to maximize his strength.

But his use of his own strength, especially when facing powerful enemies, seemed a bit clumsy.

The battle with Uchiha Madara couldn't compensate for this, but it could let him find out where his problems were, so that he could find ways to solve them.

This can be regarded as an improvement in his own combat experience, and it is the most critical improvement!

"Knowing where the problem is can better solve the problem. The most fatal thing is not knowing the problem and still blindly moving forward."

Kaito muttered to himself, quickly got up and freshened up.

With Jiraiya's matters sorted out, now it was just waiting for news from Nara Shikaku, and he could also release some information outside the village.

Kaito has always been worried about one thing, that is, will other ninja villages follow the death of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then start the Fourth Ninja World War in advance.

In the original story, after Sarutobi Hiruzen was killed by Orochimaru, peace was still maintained without a war breaking out.

But that was because Konoha handled the situation quickly, not only quickly re-submitting the alliance with Sunagakure, but also having someone like Jiraiya in the village who could step up at any time.

Therefore, they didn't dare to mess around. After all, if they pushed Jiraiya too hard, he could call for help, and then Konoha would have a backbone again.

If they attacked, it would just be helping Jiraiya. Of course, they wouldn't be so stupid as to do such a thing.

When Kaito and his group impeached Sarutobi Hiruzen, apart from the seven major families in Konoha, no one else had the qualification to do so.

But the question is, would these seven major families really dare to step up? Obviously, they wouldn't!

So Kaito was indeed worried that things would change, especially those in Kumogakure, who were full of muscle-brains, were most likely to make some moves.

But up until now, the entire ninja world was still peaceful. It seemed as if their impeachment of Sarutobi Hiruzen by the seven major families, causing such heavy casualties, didn't cause any waves at all.

This made Kaito sigh with relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but ponder the reason for this. After much thought, Kaito came to a somewhat amusing conclusion.

"Could it be, because we seven families impeached the Kage, other Kage worried that there might be such ambitious guys existing within their villages.

So they are now focusing on their villages, planning to pacify those families that might be dissenting.

Therefore, they didn't put their focus on Konoha, and that's why it has remained calm up until now?"

Kaito rubbed his chin, he felt that his reasoning should be correct, otherwise why would the entire ninja world be so silent until now.

They must be worried and afraid, right?

"Exciting, right? Breaking the inherent cognition of the ninja world, impeaching the high and mighty Kage.

Now everyone must be feeling threatened, so you should worry about your village's affairs, there's no need for you to worry about Konoha's."

Kaito thought mischievously. He then quickly finished his morning routine, feeling very good right now.

However, when he was preparing to go to the security department to clock in for work, he unexpectedly found that Shisui was waiting at his front door.

"Don't you know to knock on the door when you come? What are you doing standing at the door?"

Kaito spread his hands towards Shisui. This guy was good at everything, but sometimes he was too formal.

Such formality gave Kaito a headache, because he was not a particularly rule-abiding person.

"Also, what do you want coming over so early in the morning? Don't tell me you want to do morning exercises with me?"

"Uh, clan... Kaito, it's about Konoha."

Shisui rubbed the back of his head. He also knew some of Kaito's character traits, which made him feel useful but also helpless.

But he had changed a lot. At least when it's not a formal occasion, he would call Kaito by his name, not 'clan leader'.

"Konoha's matters?"

Kaito raised an eyebrow, curiously looking at Shisui.

"Is there any news from Konoha, or have they found Orochimaru's trail, or is it about the funeral?"

"They didn't mention the funeral, but strictly speaking, this matter does have some connection with Orochimaru and Jiraiya."

Shisui thought for a moment, then spoke very seriously.

"It's Lady Tsunade. Lady Tsunade returned to the village this morning, and Director Shikaku immediately sent someone to inform you.

However, the person he sent did not dare to enter our clan, so this matter was relayed to me instead."

"Tsunade is back?"

Kaito was stunned upon hearing this news. Although in the original work, Tsunade's reaction to Sarutobi Hiruzen's death was complex, she had been avoiding Konoha and was not willing to return. Why has she returned now?

Kaito rubbed his chin, guessing that Tsunade's return might also be to bid farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, thinking of this, Kaito had to sigh that Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed quite impressive in teaching his students.

His three disciples were all exceptional in strength, and none of them had low achievements.

Even if their relationships had become somewhat distant before the end of the Third War, they still thought of coming back to bid him farewell after Sarutobi Hiruzen's death.

Such feelings were really precious. Perhaps this was the charisma of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Ninja Hero...

...

Tsunade was back, and as one of the Three Legendary Ninjas, Kaito also had to take it seriously.

So after greeting Uchiha Fugaku, he directly took Shisui and headed towards the Hokage Building.

Kaito's idea was simple, that is, to meet Jiraiya and then meet Tsunade, understand some of Tsunade's thoughts, and then make further plans.

Kaito didn't bother thinking about Tsunade's strength or her status as a member of the Senju Clan.

But one thing that Kaito had to face seriously was that Tsunade was the ancestor of thousands of medical ninjas in Konoha!

The systematic emergence of medical ninjas and their inclusion in organized squads were all thanks to Tsunade's efforts.

Of course, this also couldn't be achieved without the support of the man she loved the most.

Indeed, her ideas and judgments brought about changes in Konoha. The emergence of medical ninjas significantly reduced the casualties of Konoha ninjas.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen also keenly seized the opportunity. He initially did not support Tsunade, but now seeing the results, he naturally would not just stand by idly.

The emergence of the Medical Department was a sign of the perfect systematization of medical ninjas, and Tsunade then took up the position of Medical Department Director.

As time progressed, the Medical Department became one of Konoha's most important departments and was a department that Sarutobi Hiruzen had firmly held in his hands.

Ninjas are professionals who lick their wounds on the edge of a blade. The probability of them getting injured is very high. Once injured, they naturally need hospitals and medical ninjas to handle.

Medical ninjas save wounded soldiers and lives, naturally accumulating a large and good reputation. They became an indispensable department for Konoha ninjas, aside from food, clothing, and use.

Their clear-cut support for Sarutobi Hiruzen was also one of his most important chips during his lifetime as the Third Hokage.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, the Medical Department cannot be said to be headless, but basically no one dares to take the Medical Department into their own hands.

After all, none of their seven clans are proficient in this field, and although the actual management of the Medical Department is handled by others, the director has remained the same from the beginning.

That is Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage!

Tsunade has returned, and her stance is crucial.

If she is not firmly standing by Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, and she has let go of some things due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's death, then Kaito feels that it's not impossible to try and keep her here.

Kaito doesn't need her to engage in any fights, even though she is strong, her abilities make her more suited to be a support figure.

And the products of her research in the field of medicine are extremely valuable.

For instance, in order to counteract Chiyo's poison, she specifically researched and developed a drug that can detoxify instantly.

She also continued to develop and improve Palm Sage Jutsu to better aid wounded ninjas; these are all her accomplishments.

Kaito believes that if he can keep her here and allow her to focus on research again, it would be beneficial for the whole of Konoha.

"Of course, if she still wants to side with Sarutobi Hiruzen, then she can leave if she wants to.

If she has any impulsive ideas, I won't hesitate either."

Kaito murmured in his mind as he walked forward, but soon his gaze was fixed on Shisui.

Shisui has not conducted a second experiment since the first one ended. Not just him, Uchiha Fugaku has also not conducted a second experiment to this day.

If Kaito's perception and observation were not wrong, their bodies had already adapted to and absorbed the power of the White Zetsu.

In fact, they should have started the second round of experiments a long time ago, but due to their numerous commitments, this matter had been indefinitely postponed.

However, now that the issues that needed to be resolved were mostly resolved, Kaito believed that the experiments could resume.

Uchiha Madara's appearance this time gave Kaito a sense of trouble and terror, thus enhancing the strength of those around him was absolutely necessary.

Moreover, in order to respond to future changes, Kaito has always believed that making the entire clan stronger is a very important matter.

The system gave him a hint to make his clan the number one clan in Konoha, and this is just the current stage.

In the future, after he accomplishes all these, the system might require him to make his clan the number one clan in the entire Ninja World.

Therefore, Kaito believes that it is necessary to prepare in advance.

After all, he's not joking with Jiraiya and Uchiha Madara, he genuinely intends to unify the entire Ninja World.

"If the entire Ninja World is unified, then there will be no more wars, and our clan will be safe.

Even if some lunatic launches an attack, it's not certain it will reach me.

Then if the clan is safe, my life is safe, and I can continue to improve through the clan's constant development.

Therefore, unifying the Ninja World is extremely necessary!"

Kaito never denies that he possesses the traditional sentiment of the Uchiha clan, and he also won't deny that he is a person who highly values his own life.

Without life, all other things are meaningless.

"Speaking of which, Shisui."

Thinking of this, Kaito turned his head and addressed Shisui.

"Prepare yourself. Now that Konoha has stabilized, I think it's time to continue your experiments."

"Experiments?"

Upon hearing Kaito's words, Shisui nodded seriously.

"No problem, indeed it has been so long, we should proceed with the next experiment. I can feel that my body has completely adapted to this power."

"That's good to hear. Next, I think we should try to increase the dosage as much as possible according to your body's current tolerance."

Kaito looked at Shisui with a smile, patting his shoulder with a hint of mischief.

"Don't forget, you didn't do so well after the first injection. Don't go soft on me this time."

"Don't worry, I won't."

Although Shisui's face showed some embarrassment remembering the last experience.

He had managed to endure the first experiment and had gained unimaginable benefits. However, his condition at that time wasn't particularly optimistic.

He knew that he couldn't even fight during that period because his body was too weak.

However, even though Shisui was frustrated with the situation at the time, the current environment is obviously different; there aren't as many battles for them to fight now.

"No matter how difficult, I will persist."

Shisui said earnestly, but soon it seemed like he remembered something.

"By the way, Kaito, will Tsunade's return be a good thing for us?"

"A good thing?"

Kaito looked at Shisui curiously, not knowing how Shisui's thinking could jump so wildly, now turning to the topic of Tsunade.

"How so?"

"Although our researchers have undergone medical ninja training, it's all basic. And those who trained them aren't as professional as Lady Tsunade."

Shisui said what he had in mind directly, and his next words made Kaito seriously consider.

"If Lady Tsunade could stay and help train our researchers, I think it would greatly benefit our experiments, right?"

....

Ask Tsunade to train their researchers?

Shisui's somewhat naive idea, which could even infuriate some of the older Uchiha members, made Kaito start to ponder seriously.

The Uchiha and Senju clans don't get along well. In fact, you could say that seventy or eighty years ago, the two clans were in a kill-or-be-killed relationship.

However, each clan had a traitor, and these two traitors were the clan leaders at the time.

They had a good relationship with each other. Despite some misunderstandings and problems, after Senju Hashirama physically persuaded Uchiha Madara, the two clans began to work together.

The collaboration between the two also made other Uchihas gradually adapt, even if some of them still despised the Senju to the extreme, they remained in Konoha.

For instance, people like Uchiha Takechi, as a former member of the blood faction, they probably have no good feelings towards the Senju.

But Shisui is different. This guy was once a member of the spirit faction. Although not entirely spirit-like, he is just right for Kaito.

And his spirit-like characteristics mean he won't bear a grudge against the Senju clan, so he can propose such a suggestion.

"Seems like, a good idea?"

Kaito thought about it seriously and found this idea was actually feasible.

If Tsunade stays, she will definitely have to take on the duty of the head of the medical department, a position that no one dares to compete with her for.

Similarly, no one is qualified to contend with her; she is the only head of the medical department!

But since you are in this position, Kaito can naturally use rights and duties to ask Tsunade for help.

Having her specifically help Kaito to cultivate some talents, further consolidate their abilities, this is clearly a great idea.

However, as good as the idea is, the most crucial thing is Tsunade's own decision, whether she will stay or not. Everything needs to be confirmed just to be sure.

"It's a good idea, but we'll have to see how things go."

After seriously considering all the circumstances, Kaito said to Shisui with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to pay such close attention to this matter. Alright, I got it, I'll handle it well."

"I know you want to promote our experiments to the entire clan. I would naturally be interested in such a good thing. And indeed, the basics of our researchers are too poor."

Shisui chuckled and shook his head gently, then slowly began to speak.

"Letting them get adequate improvement is beneficial to us, not to mention they also need to replicate the cells of that arm, right?

Such a difficult task is likely hard to learn from just reading materials and literature, it needs professional guidance.

Besides, my disciple is also among the researchers. I'm not like you, I have to be responsible for her."

Shisui's words gained Kaito's nod of approval, but Shisui's teasing made him roll his eyes.

This guy spoke as if Kaito was not responsible for Sasuke at all.

Actually, upon thinking about it, Kaito didn't seem to manage Sasuke much. The current teaching is mostly the same as within the family.

But these basic teachings are to help Sasuke and other clan children broaden their horizons. The importance of this education is undeniable.

As for other forms of teaching, it seems Kaito only once trained with them, which was then interrupted due to Kakashi's issue.

This made Kaito reflect, was he a qualified teacher?

After some thought, he felt that he might not quite be. He has now confirmed that the nameless person, Itachi, is still alive, and he is waiting for Sasuke to kill Itachi.

"So, Sasuke needs to be trained properly in the future, can't be as negligent as now."

Kaito muttered silently in his mind. He had made up his mind, though he hadn't figured out how to train Sasuke yet.

But one thing he could be certain of was that Sasuke probably wouldn't have any good days in the future!

Oh, and Karin as well, they're all doomed!

However, Kaito did notice another thing, that was the issue of Shisui mentioning his disciple.

Kaito recalled that Shisui had mentioned to him that someone in the lab sought his guidance, and Kaito had left the decision to him.

Now that so much time had passed, Kaito didn't know the details very clearly, and he didn't even know who Shisui's disciple was.

This made him somewhat curious and after pondering for a moment, Kaito asked.

"By the way, who is your disciple?"

"My disciple?"

Shisui looked at Kaito strangely, but he instantly understood that Kaito probably hadn't paid much attention to this matter, so he simply answered with a smile.

"She's a girl, also a member of the lab. She is a strong and determined person, but also sensitive at heart.

Speaking of it, she has some stories with that guy, but she's nothing like him. The fact she got into the lab is thanks to your approval."

"I've approved many people. So who is she exactly?"

Kaito felt somewhat helpless with Shisui's cryptic personality, even if he himself often speaks in riddles, it doesn't mean he likes to listen.

Shisui probably knew Kaito's personality, he chuckled lightly, and then began to speak.

"She is Izumi, Uchiha Izumi, I think you know who she is, right?"

Uchiha Izumi?

Kaito was slightly taken aback when he heard this name, then nodded in realization.

He remembered this girl, she and Uchiha Itachi were childhood friends. After Uchiha Itachi's defection, she was firmly determined to take revenge on him.

Kaito really didn't expect that Shisui's disciple would be her, but this seemed very interesting.

Kaito now even somewhat regretted letting Sarutobi Hiruzen commit suicide, after all, Kaito knew how much this old man hated Uchiha Itachi.

If he was alive, along with Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi, they could form a league of avengers to hunt down Uchiha Itachi.

Moreover, these three were the people Uchiha Itachi loved and respected the most. That feeling would be both thrilling and satisfying.

Unfortunately, that guy was gone, unless Kaito could perform the Edo Tensei to bring him back.

But that didn't make much sense, besides, there was no need for so many to deal with Uchiha Itachi.

He was now really looking forward to the expressions on their faces when Sasuke and Uchiha Izumi grew up and pursued Uchiha Itachi...

...

Kaito would never deny his wicked taste. It was part of his personality, and there was nothing to deny.

Meanwhile, as they were about to meet Tsunade, in the Land of Water's Hidden Mist Village, Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Jūzō had different expressions as they read the report.

Since Kakuzu and Hidan had disappeared, Uchiha Itachi had leaped from being a reserve member to being a formal member of the Akatsuki.

His first task was to go to the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water to investigate the situation with the Three-Tails and the Fourth Mizukage.

This was Uchiha Itachi's first task, and he was very careful and focused. After some preparation, they set off.

However, it took them quite some time to get to the Land of Water from their departure, drifting at sea was not an easy thing.

Especially since they needed to evade the blockade fleet of the Hidden Mist Village, so they spent almost a month to get to the Land of Water.

But what they never expected was that as soon as they landed in the Land of Water, they received a message from the world of shinobi.

The message detailed the process of the seven major families of Konoha impeaching the Hokage, with Sarutobi Hiruzen admitting guilt and showing the spirit of a true shinobi, eventually dying by suicide.

Such documents are found in every ninja village, some even more detailed than what Uchiha Itachi received, after all, every village has many spies.

Uchiha Itachi looked calm, but his heart was full of rage, he was just forcibly restraining himself.

The Third Hokage was dead?

He was forced to commit suicide?

This series of news really caused Uchiha Itachi's heart to bleed. His focus was entirely on these messages, ignoring everything else subconsciously.

"Didn't expect things in Konoha to be so interesting, did you?"

As Uchiha Itachi's heart bled, Jūzō Biwa on the side suddenly spoke up.

"Your Hokage was doing such things behind the scenes, it's really terrifying."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at him silently, he didn't know how to refute this topic.

Although he wanted to ignore these things subconsciously, he even wanted to say these were charges forced on them by Uchiha Kaito!

But Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted to everything, which left Uchiha Itachi unable to refute.

But he was wondering, could it be the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Like, was the Hokage controlled by the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Uchiha Itachi had experienced the power of Uchiha Kaito, and he never expected that person, who he once looked down upon, to hide so deeply!

What he did not expect even more was that this guy took the position of clan head from his own father, becoming the new head of the Uchiha Clan!

He was really very wary of Uchiha Kaito, he felt that anything happening to this guy was possible.

"Who knows? Konoha is so far from us, no one can know the exact information inside."

Uchiha Itachi successfully controlled his emotional fluctuations, then began to speak.

"Let's go, don't forget our mission is very important."

"I know, just feeling a bit emotional, it would have been nice if our Hidden Mist Village had these seven families back then."

Jūzō Biwa didn't pay much attention to Uchiha Itachi, he was reading the document in his hand and laughing.

"The previous Mizukage was really too much, he completely regarded the Hidden Mist Village as his own, doing whatever he wanted without restraint.

Who knows how many bloodline clans he harmed, how many people died because of this, even we, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, couldn't stand him anymore.

But none of us dared to rebel against him, because he was a Kage, no matter what he did, there would always be a group who would follow him to the death.

Those guys were like brainwashed, they only thought that others were wrong, not their Kage.

It's really ridiculous, the darkness of this village is unimaginable, and so are these Kages."

The speaker spoke without intention but the listener took it to heart. Upon hearing his words, Uchiha Itachi's fists involuntarily tightened.

The killing intent in his heart had begun to brew, but Jūzō Biwa kept talking slowly.

"Actually, looking at it now, your Hokage ended up not too bad, at least he died with dignity."

"A person is already dead, what dignity is there to speak of?"

Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes, he was collecting his own aura, and he replied calmly.

"You're still young, there's a lot you don't understand."

Jūzō Biwa noticed some abnormality in Uchiha Itachi, but he didn't care much.

Trust in your teammates, that's his consistent rule as a ninja, and also the reason he chose to defect from the loathsome Fourth Mizukage.

"The head of the Uchiha clan gave the Third Hokage a great deal of dignity, allowing him to vindicate himself and get a chance to atone for his sins as the Hokage.

Such a practice on a political enemy is not common, after all, one needs to thoroughly send their opponents to hell.

How could he give him so many opportunities to vindicate himself? So, I said that the head of the Uchiha clan is pretty good.

Especially when the Third Hokage of Konoha had already angered the public, the seven major families had impeached him, it was indeed a first in the ninja world.

And when they took action, not a single civilian ninja helped, I think you can understand what that implies."

Understand?

Uchiha Itachi's aura dissipated, these details were things that he subconsciously ignored, things he resisted in his heart.

Now that this damned Jūzō Biwa was asking him in this manner, Uchiha Itachi didn't even know how to respond.

He did have the intent to kill, but he dared not act, the impact of such an act would be too severe.

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Itachi started to think quietly, while Jūzō Biwa walked ahead, seeming in a good mood.

This made Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but start to doubt inwardly, because what Jūzō Biwa said really sounded like him...
