Uchiha's Counterattack

Chapter 100 Tactical Operations
Late at night, Uchiha Mansion.

The delegation of Sand Ninja Village will come to Konoha at noon tomorrow at the latest. Xia Nan held a high-level meeting of Konoha Village in advance for tomorrow's affairs in her home.Of course, the high-level management this time is centered on the Uchiha family, assisted by the Kurama family and the Nohara family, plus the recently added Hinata.

Bright candlelight illuminated the room, and Xia Nan, who was sitting in the main seat, was in charge of the meeting.

The topic of discussion was about how to deal with the sand ninja who is willing to be a pawn, followed by cloud ninja and rock ninja, and possible fog ninja.Of course, there are the Akatsuki organization who may be waiting for an opportunity, Kuranin who is already preparing for revenge, Orochimaru who is hiding in the dark, the insidious and cunning Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade who may return to the village at any time... and so on.

However, there was one thing that people were more concerned about before, that is, the Konoha ninja sent by the front line had not sent news back for several days. At this critical moment, any small detail would attract Xia Nan's attention.

"Saemon, are you saying that there has been no news from the front since five days?"

"Yes, although the specific reason is not clear, this is not normal. I am afraid that something happened on the front line."

Saimon replied cautiously.

"Could it be a collective defection?"

"This...is not easy to say."

Zaemon hesitated for a moment. At first he wanted to refute directly. After all, the collective defection of Konoha ninjas was too unimaginable in the past, even Uchiha could not do it.But considering the current situation in Konoha Village, Zaemon hesitated and changed his words.

Sitting opposite Uchiha Zaemon is a member of the Nohara clan, Nohara Chi.Before the Hyuga clan came, the Nohara clan had been taking over the security of the whole Konoha. To be honest, they were under a lot of pressure. The Nohara Chi clan had obviously become much older recently.

Fortunately, the joining of the Hyuga Clan has greatly eased the plight of the Nohara Clan’s lack of manpower. Although part of the rights were given to Hyuga, the Nohara Clan didn’t complain about it. After all, they are just a small family first, and this is Uchi A direct order from the Bourbons, they wouldn't think otherwise.

"The Konoha ninjas originally sent out were just thorns. Let them leave Konoha and stay away from the villagers to consider the impact in the future. And most of them lost their relatives and families in the last civil war. It’s hard to guarantee their loyalty to the current Konoha.”

"Clan Chief Nohara is right. Those sent out are all tainted guys, stubborn conservatives, staunch supporters of the original Hokage faction, hostile to the Uchiha faction, and a small family that regards the Sarutobi clan as its own family. , all kinds of guys are inside, it is hard to guarantee that they deliberately defected collectively with a grudge."

"It's not just defection, is it possible that some people were bought by the other four major ninja villages?"

Suddenly, Kurama Judao, who had been silent all this time, opened his eyes and said, "The news of Konoha's big change, no matter how blocked and delayed, the entire ninja world should know about it. Recently, the number of people outside the village has increased significantly. There are all kinds of outsiders, and there are countless spies and assassins mixed in, our pommel horse clan tortures more than ten spies a day."

"Although most of them are "question stones" (cannon fodder deliberately thrown out to attract the attention of law enforcement officers and help real spies sneak into the village), this also shows that the activities of forces outside the village are getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid, targeting us wood Ye Village has more than one plot, ten, hundreds of plots brewing in the dark."

"...It is true that the possibility of buying is not impossible. If the frontline troops bought and killed a batch, this may indeed happen. In the final analysis, the current Konoha power is like sunset, and it is time for us to stand up It was too short to stabilize people's hearts, there were too many things to do in less than three weeks, and too few things to be done."

"How about going directly to the village for a comprehensive inspection? When someone defected outside, there would be no movement in the village. Some of them must have family members, relatives, or friends staying in Konoha. Let every villager Pull it out and use Sharingan to directly hypnotize and interrogate, and if you confirm it, you will be executed in the name of betraying the village."

Uchihaemon raised his hand and suggested.

"It's too extreme. This will finally calm down a lot of internal conflicts because of the joining of the Hyuga Clan. Because of this action, all previous efforts will be wasted, and it will only make us more passive."

"Emon, don't talk nonsense!"

After being scolded by his brother, Eemon reluctantly put down his hand.

At this time, Zaemon turned his head and turned to the side, the representative of the Hinata family, Hinata Hinata, who had a bad face.

"...I'm sorry Hisho, Uemon didn't know about the agreement reached between Hinata and the villagers a few days ago, but our Uchiha clan sincerely hopes to reduce the conflicts in the village, and has no intention of sabotaging or meddling."

Rizheng twitched the corner of his mouth, and his face looked a little better.

"Thank you Zaemon-sama for your understanding, the Hyuga clan will work hard to do their job well."

Hinata Hinata is the grandson of the current acting patriarch Hiyuan. He is 33 years old this year and he is in the prime of ninja. He is very strong, at least at the level of elite jonin.And his adopted nephew is named Ningji Hinata. Although he is a boy from the branch family, he is very promising and is very optimistic about him by Hinata.

Hiromasa doesn't like Youemon, a radical hawk, a typical war fanatic, who reveals arrogance and violence everywhere, which is annoying.

And Hiromasa can see that his elder brother Zaemon is also a dove outside and a hawk inside. Everything is a person who puts the family's interests first, and neither of these two can be trusted.

On the contrary, the Nohara patriarch, who is good at observing and listening, knows how to protect himself wisely, and can be close friends with his practical work. He is an ally that the Hyuga clan can win if they want to further gain a foothold in the high-level in the future.

The Kurama family is weaker than the Nohara family, so they rely more on Uchiha, but Hiromasa looks down on Uchiha's steadfast behavior.But Kurama Judao's illusion skills are very advanced, and his strength should not be underestimated. The most important thing is that Kurama now controls Konoha's intelligence department, and Hinata will have to deal with them sooner or later.

But whether it is Kurama or Nohara, the Hyuga family should not be overly exposed in the short term, but only as a long-term target for the future.

Of course, this is not to say that Hiromasa has any bad intentions, on the contrary, the Hyuga clan is really worried, deeply afraid that Uchiha will go back on his previous agreement.

Hyuga could tell early on that the daughter of the Zongjia was just a step up for Xia Nan to give to the Hyuga family. After all, if he really wanted to handle Hinata, he would not let Hanabi go. Inwardly, it was an explanation for the Uchiha family. After all, he is Uchiha The patriarch of the clan.

Therefore, the blood of just one clan may not be able to maintain the living conditions of the Hyuga family. The Hinata family has to work hard to ensure the continuation of the family, and at the same time, they have to win over the other two families to speak to Hinata.After all, whether or not someone speaks for you is a matter of course, and the Hinata family has followed three generations for so many years, which is clearer than anyone else.

Danzo is the best example.

Thinking of this, Rizheng couldn't help turning his eyes to Xia Nan, he knew that the black-haired boy was the real master, he was a person who could push Konoha to hell with his own hands, and he was also the culprit that caused all this.For many people in Muye Village, wishing him a quick death is already the most merciful idea.

However, Rizheng didn't intend to join forces with these people, because he had firmly remembered the old Patriarch's words before he came.

"Rizheng, after you go, remember one thing. The words of that Uchiha brat are absolute orders. You don't need to doubt or understand as long as you execute them. You have to do your best to win his favor and trust. Even if you become Even if the executioner is cast aside, you have to stand up, and remember that you are the head of the future family. What you need to do is not to let the villagers who don’t even have a future understand, but to get close and trust from a higher level.”

"I understand... Lord Riyuan."

These are a few conversations between Riyuan and Hizheng in the house on the night when Hinata was sent away.
