Konoha: Start with the card-drawing mobile game.

Chapter 7 The person peeping in the dark
After the two left, a humanoid figure gradually revealed its pale figure on the tall tree where Uchiha Fugaku had been leaning.

"I'm so scared~, I thought he found me."

A burst of frivolous and exaggerated shouts came from the tree trunk, and a white Zetsu who was sent to monitor the Uchiha clan slowly leaned out of the tree trunk.

Hidden in the tree trunk, Bai Zetsu's attainments in reconnaissance and concealment have exceeded the ordinary Kage level, and he didn't even reveal his presence in front of two elite ninjas with Jonin strength.

"Ah, if I had known earlier I wouldn't have watched the fun."

As an unfairly beaten worker, Bai Jue was originally attracted by the strange movements here, but unexpectedly he discovered something more interesting.

"But, a pair of extremely talented Uchiha blood relatives."

As Bai Jue's body twisted and squirmed, a series of white spores slowly split from his torso.

"Let Hei Zetsu control it from behind, maybe we can see the second pair of eternal kaleidoscopes after Madara-sama."

After Bai Jue formed a seal with his hands and activated the 'Spore Technique', a group of spores that split from his body quickly swelled and began to squirm, gradually turning into a brand new Bai Jue.

"Okay, you can take over from me and monitor that Obito brat!"

After the newly generated weak White Zetsu developed its own consciousness, the elite White Zetsu immediately started giving orders with its hands on its hips:
"The aura of the newly discovered kid today is a bit similar to Madara-sama, I have to tell Black Zetsu!"

Considering this step, Bai Zetsu quickly blended into the ground beneath his feet.

Before he was completely submerged into the ground, with his super-sense ability, he vaguely detected traces of ninjutsu snooping in this area a few minutes ago.

"It's a ninjutsu to spy on women's bathhouses. Is the Third Hokage also enjoying it?"

After complaining, Bai Jue immediately became one with the land, leaving not even a trace of his appearance.

.....
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped using the telescope technique.

Witnessing a small part of the battle, the Sandaime Hokage took a deep breath from the pipe in his hand.

"In this generation of Uchiha, in addition to the descendants of Kagami, there is actually a young man with extraordinary talents."

Compared to Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Toru is obviously more surprising in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The first time he opened his eyes was Nimagatama, and he didn't even rely on the power of his family when he didn't have the Sharingan.

Just based on the observation of the seal method, he showed the level of chunin level under the conditions of the first fire escape.

"Uchiha, who has not activated the Sharingan talent, actually activated the second magatama at this time. Do you want to withdraw Kushina's application to lead the team?"

I remembered that Kushina came to the Hokage's office and pestered herself persistently: 'I want to be an instructor like Minato! ! '

There happened to be three genin who had left the team at the moment, but one of them was a child of the Uchiha clan.

Taking a heavy puff of the pipe in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen also became embarrassed at this time.

"There is a serious shortage of manpower now. If we just take the genin on missions in the village, there shouldn't be any trouble."

"Let's take a look at tomorrow's assessment first. If it doesn't work,"

He took out a group photo from the drawer, which was a group photo of the first and second generations of Hokage with Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mito Kadoen, and Koharu Tenden.

In the photo, the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama is stroking the head of his young Sarutobi Hiruzen, with a smile on his face as he looks down at the future third-generation Hokage.

"Teacher, at least let me solve the current crisis in Konoha."

The signs of the Third Ninja War are gradually rising.

No matter how idealistic Sarutobi Hiruzen's analysis of the situation was, he still couldn't put aside the Kumogakure ninjas displayed on the border of the Land of Fire.

"Now there is only one legitimate reason left. Once they get the chance, I'm afraid Konoha will face a coordinated siege from the four major ninja villages."

In his prime, Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength has not declined at all compared to when he was young, but in terms of political methods, he is as indecisive as he is in old age. This is exactly reflected in the Konoha White Fang suicide incident.

Originally, he just agreed with Danzo's idea and wanted to slightly suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige, which completely overshadowed the Hokage's.

Unexpectedly, the other party directly committed suicide in order to fulfill the justice in his heart and quietly committed suicide at home.

Directly losing a Kage-level combat power who specialized in Sunagakure Village, it would be a lie to say that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't feel uncomfortable.

Hatake Sakumo's suicide not only dealt a heavy blow to the Sandaime-sama.

Even Hatake Kakashi, who was promoted to chuunin in a record-breaking age of six four years ago, showed some signs of mental sluggishness.

"I hope that by placing him in Minato's class this time, we can rely on the bonds between his classmates to get him back on track."

Exhaling a puff of smoke from his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen signed the word 'approval' on the report sheet placed on the table while sighing.

The following big words were written on the header of the report sheet.

[Application for holding the Chuunin Examination]

.......
The subtle sound of 'thorn' echoed continuously on the path leading to the temporary settlement of the clan.

Dragging the ninja sword that was broken into two parts, Toru Uchiha forcefully pulled the rusty ninja sword back to the clan from Nanga River.

The side effects of chakra overdraft are far more serious than imagined.

With that almost suffocating feeling of powerlessness, Uchiha Toru walked step by step towards the temporary settlement.

Although the friction sound between the ninja sword and the ground was not too loud.

However, the surrounding residents would not show a good look at this clan leader who had embarrassed the Hokage a few years ago.
After just a while, unfriendly voices began to appear on the street.

"You have been reduced to the point of applying for temporary resettlement within the Chao clan. Do you want to continue to cause trouble?"

"Didn't your adults teach you etiquette?"

Uchiha Toru, who had a splitting headache, couldn't listen to the complaints of these tribesmen. Now he just wanted to drag the ninja sword home and lie on the bed, and then sleep until tomorrow!
It's just that even with such a simple wish, there will be people who are short-sighted and will come out to block it.

An Uchiha kid who was about the age of graduating from a ninja school stopped in front of Uchiha Toru.

"You actually sold the house. I wanted to find you when you graduated from the ninja school."

A long way away, after finishing speaking to Uchiha Toru who was so exhausted that he was about to fall asleep, Uchiha Ryota immediately added:

"Have you not recognized the reality during this time?"

"Idiot." After a brief comment, Uchiha Toru continued to move forward.

Seeing that Toru Uchiha, who was dragging a rusty ninja sword with one hand, dared to talk back, Ryota Uchiha became even more angry.

"The cultivation of the elders only resulted in the slander of you in front of the Hokage!"

After ignoring him, Uchiha Toru walked straight towards the 'temporary settlement' with the sound of his ninja sword wiping the floor.

"A guy like you doesn't deserve to be a ninja!"

As a collateral descendant of the Dove sect elders, Ryota Uchiha's face visibly stiffened.

"You are a arrogant person who cannot create value for your family or the village."

"Sooner or later, you will die as pitifully as your teacher!"

Unspeakable anger filled Ryota Uchiha's heart, and he stretched out his hand to grab Toru Uchiha's collar.
