LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 237 The Building is About to Collapse
"Okay, be quiet!" Uchiha Keisuke stopped the increasingly heated discussion.
When the shrine returned to silence, Uchiha Keisuke looked at Uchiha Mikoto and said, "Joining the Star Country is indeed our best choice at the moment, but is the Star Country willing to accept our clan?"
He agreed with Uchiha Mikoto's proposal.
It's just that changing the mountain is not something that can be done by one party, but requires the approval of both parties.
Uchiha Mikoto said in a deep voice: "Next, I will secretly send people to the Star Country. If the other party is willing to accept us, it would be the best. If not, then choose another one from the four major ninja villages."
"Okay, then you, the clan leader, will make the arrangements next. In addition, should we continue to refuse on the battlefield or--" Uchiha Keisuke nodded slightly, and then mentioned another matter.
Although Konoha was divided, the war did not stop because of this.
Because Uchiha Fugaku had surrendered to Tsunade before, when the war came again, Tsunade sent people to the Uchiha clan many times, hoping that the Uchiha clan would go to the battlefield again.
However, the death of Uchiha Fugaku made the Uchiha clan very angry, and until now, the Uchiha clan has not made a clear response.
"Don't pay attention to it for the time being, wait for the response from the Star Country first!" Uchiha Mikoto waved and interrupted Uchiha Keisuke's words.
One of the reasons why she would list the Star Country as the first choice is that the Star Country can allow their clan to evacuate Konoha faster and safer.
When the joint Chunin exam was held, the Sand Village, the Cloud Village, and the Star Village were able to suddenly send troops to Konoha, and Konoha did not fail to investigate afterwards.
"I hope that man will not refuse!" Uchiha Mikoto muttered silently.
"Uchiha?"
On the ninth floor of the Star Tower, Naraku, who stopped breathing in the spiritual energy, looked at Jialuo who came to report unexpectedly.
"Yes, sir, the other party claimed to be visiting in the name of the Uchiha clan leader, and there are important letters that need to be read by you personally." Jialuo said.
Naraku touched his chin.
Uchiha clan leader?
Did the Uchiha clan choose a new clan leader so quickly?
And the other party actually sent someone to visit him now, which is even more interesting.
"Okay, you take someone to the office!" After thinking about it, Naraku ordered Jialuo.
Although he didn't know why the Uchiha came to him, it was no problem to meet him.
Very quickly.
When Jialuo left, Naraku went to the office on the eighth floor with "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch".
But a moment later, Jialuo led a woman in.
This woman was about thirty years old, and it was obvious that she was deliberately hiding her identity.
In addition to not wearing Konoha's body armor, even the clothes on her body did not have the clan emblem that the Uchiha clan was proud of.
"Sir Naraku!" The woman who followed Jialuo into the office immediately saluted respectfully when she saw Naraku sitting behind the desk.
Seeing the other party's posture, Naraku said with interest: "Open your Sharingan and show it to me."
"Yes!" The woman thought that Naraku wanted to verify her identity, and did not hesitate to open her Sharingan immediately.
Scarlet appeared, and a pair of three-magatama Sharingan immediately appeared.
Three-magatama Sharingan.
In addition to representing that the woman in front of her is indeed from the Uchiha clan, her strength is at least at the level of a jonin.
"Yes, then tell me next, what do you Uchiha clan want to ask me for?" Naraku lazily leaned on the office chair.
"Sir, this is a letter from our clan leader, you will understand after reading it." The woman carefully took out a scroll from her arms.
Jialuo, who was standing aside, looked at Naraku inquiringly, and after receiving Naraku's signal, he took the scroll and checked it.
After confirming that there was no problem, Jialuo stepped forward and handed the scroll to Naraku.
He casually opened the scroll.
Naraku raised his eyebrows quickly as he lowered his head to read the contents recorded on the scroll.
He looked up at the woman opposite him, stared at her and said, "Is your current clan leader Uchiha Mikoto?"
"Yes, Lady Mikoto is now the clan leader of our clan." The woman said truthfully.
Naraku put down the scroll he had read and tapped the table thoughtfully.
The reason why the Uchiha clan suddenly came to him was more interesting than he thought.
The contents recorded on the scroll were that Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader, wanted to lead the Uchiha clan to join the Star Country.
"When did your clan leader awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Naraku suddenly asked, his eyes falling on the woman on the other side.
As soon as this was said, the woman looked at Naraku in astonishment.
Clan leader Mikoto actually told the other party about the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Well, the clan leader awakened after Lord Fugaku was killed." The woman who subconsciously thought that the Mangekyō Sharingan was recorded in the letter by Uchiha Mikoto hesitated for a moment before answering.
Sure enough, the Mangekyō Sharingan was awakened.
Hearing the reply from the woman on the other side, Naraku immediately understood.
He said that even if Uchiha Mikoto was the clan leader's wife, it was impossible for her to replace Uchiha Fugaku as the clan leader of the Uchiha clan.
In fact, Uchiha Mikoto's letter did not indicate that she had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Naraku just noticed something unusual from the fact that Uchiha Mikoto suddenly ascended to the position of clan leader, so he tried to test it.
"It's quite interesting. I didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku's death would stimulate Uchiha Mikoto to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, and she even planned to surrender to me." Naraku pondered in his heart.
Uchiha Mikoto's awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan did surprise him, but what was even more surprising was her behavior.
As a couple, Uchiha Fugaku, as a husband, was hesitant and timid, but Uchiha Mikoto, as a wife, was unexpectedly bold.
For this boldness, Naraku said he admired it very much.
Resources are not just money and property, but also people.
The resources he wanted to seize from the Land of Fire in the future originally included those ninjas in Konoha.
Like the Uchiha clan, they are the biggest ones.
Now that the Uchiha clan took the initiative to surrender to him, he certainly would not turn them away.
Soon, Naraku asked Jialuo to get a blank scroll for him.
In addition to replying to Uchiha Mikoto, he also gave her a Flying Thunder God Kunai.
"The building is about to collapse, Konoha may not be able to hold on for too long"
When the Uchiha woman left with the reply and the Flying Thunder God Kunai arranged by Jialuo, Naraku turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and spoke with emotion.
A glimpse of the whole picture.
Naraku felt that he might have overestimated Konoha.
According to the situation of the Uchiha clan, Konoha may collapse from the inside before the four major ninja villages capture Konoha.
