Chapter 286: Sasuke Anbu Arc! Monitoring the Three Clans! Konoha. "Put on your ANBU combat uniform, familiarize yourself with the terrain, and follow me." Uchiha Itachi led Uchiha Sasuke of the Snake Team and almost circled Konoha halfway. Under Sasuke's frowning and puzzled gaze, he brought him to the sky above the Hokage Rock. Inside several houses, as the sound of footsteps echoed, Uchiha Itachi, who was only thirteen years old, calmly led Sasuke upstairs, while introducing the tasks that their team of Anbu members were responsible for. "Since I have joined the Anbu, I cannot avoid some of the shady missions in the village. In the Nine-Tails incident eight years ago, all the evidence pointed to the third generation of high-ranking officials. In addition, a series of serious evidence was found during the coup d'état that overthrew the Third Hokage's high-ranking officials. Since then, the families of the former Third Hokage's high-ranking officials have been under 24-hour surveillance and forcibly relocated..." As Uchiha Itachi continued to tell the story, Uchiha Sasuke of the Snake Team showed a look of astonishment, and some dusty memories in his brain seemed to begin to be awakened. It seemed that in his original world, there was the same Nine-Tailed Fox War, and then the family was forced to move to the outskirts of the village. As far as he could remember, he had been living in a peripheral family and had never been to the central area.
With the sound of a door being pushed open, Uchiha Itachi took him into the secret room. "The head of the Anbu, Senju Nawaki, is also the main person in charge of this surveillance mission. The deputy captain of the Anbu, Hatake Kakashi, is also the disciple of Mr. Ye, Uchiha Shisui..." As they entered the room, Uchiha Itachi introduced the members of the Anbu to his younger brother, who was older than him, with a gentle smile. Only a few people in Konoha knew about the four members of the Snake Squad who came from another time and space, so the information was naturally blocked. "Welcome new members." "Wow, another genius from the Uchiha clan? I'm so jealous." "I heard that he is the new disciple of Hokage-sama. He must be very powerful." At this time, Uchiha Sasuke of the Snake Team was staring at this scene in a daze. He saw a group of Anbu members in the room greeting him with smiles on their faces. Among them are the familiar elder brother Uchiha Shisui, and the white-haired Hatake Kakashi. "Sasuke, from today on you are a member of our team." After a lively welcome ceremony, Sasuke of the Snake Team joined the Anbu of Konoha with a stiff and somewhat uncomfortable expression, and only a few people knew his identity. For example, Senju Nawaki and Kakashi's confidants. “This is surveillance…” As he became familiar with the mission, images of the Sarutobi, Mitomon and Utane clans appeared on the screen. At the same time, there were ultra-long-distance telescopes that could directly monitor every corner of the three clans. "Sasuke, your job is to watch through this telescope, be on guard at all times, and report any abnormalities immediately." Kakashi Hatake is worthy of being a teacher. He taught Sasuke the task with a smile on his face. "Over the years, the Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Utane clans have become increasingly dissatisfied with their loss of power, believing that all of this was a conspiracy by the Hokage, yet they have not mentioned a single word about the numerous crimes they committed. In the past two years, there have been extremely bad voices within the three tribes, and a large number of detonating talismans and kunai combat equipment have been stockpiled. Therefore, there have always been many ninjas in the village, and the Anbu, Root, and Police Department are always ready for rapid response..." Following Hatake Kakashi's introduction, Sasuke of the Snake Team took a deep breath, nodded calmly, and began to skillfully use the instrument in his hand.
"Looks like we have to change shifts, Captain Kakashi. We'll be leaving now." As the few people got off work and only Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke were left in the room, the atmosphere changed significantly. However, Hatake Kakashi, who was the best at adjusting the atmosphere, casually observed the scene in front of the screen and lazily joked: "But there's no need to be nervous. Although the Anbu will have some shady missions, this kind of surveillance mission is relatively easy. We have plenty of time to practice. This is also the adjustment that the Hokage has made to the village. For talented ninjas who are in their golden period of development, we will try to arrange tasks that give them enough time to practice." "Although we are monitoring people from the same village, it is sometimes like this. In the past two years, the village has discovered that some people have secretly traded with ninjas from other ninja villages..." With Kakashi Hatake's humorous way of adjusting the atmosphere, the three of them felt a lot more relaxed for a while. "What is that? Why are there so many black people in the fields outside the village? I remember that these should belong to the Land of Thunder, right?" However, Uchiha Sasuke, who was observing, frowned with a puzzled look and asked his own question. Uchiha Itachi, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and started to explain for his brother who had a knot in his heart. “These black people are slaves of some big families, which is very common in the ninja world, but most of them are nobles. There were some in our village at the beginning from the Hyuga clan, but after some things happened, they were no longer needed. However, the three tribes of Sarutobi did buy a lot of these slaves, and even in the outer designated areas, there were some who opposed discrimination... but they were also under surveillance. " In response to Uchiha Itachi's explanation, Hatake Kakashi on the side was more mature and added with a smile: "In fact, the real reason is that the Hokage doesn't like these black slaves, but as the most economically developed in the ninja world, Konoha holds a grand slave trade fair every year. These castrated... The three tribes used these black slaves because many of them were still unable to let go of their high-handed attitude and were still living in their past dreams. The second reason is something you should be able to guess..." When he said this, Hatake Kakashi still looked lazy as he adjusted the equipment, and black figures appeared in the fields on the screen. Some are responsible for growing cotton, and others are responsible for growing other crops. "This can be considered a diplomatic and political means. Simply put, these three tribes have been in contact with the Thunder Country, treating black people well and using them as bargaining chips for friendly transactions, and constantly obtaining assistance from the Thunder Country..." Following Kakashi Hatake's straightforward words, Uchiha Sasuke was not like Itachi who only understood ninjas, and he understood everything instantly. "That is to say, the three tribes have also discovered our surveillance. When they were unable to gain allies internally, they turned their attention to the outside world." Sasuke of the Snake Team suddenly said these words, which made Hatake Kakashi stunned. He then laughed and teased: "Itachi, it seems that your brother is much better than you." Itachi could hardly understand such political issues. He was just a genius ninja. Although Uchiha Itachi didn't understand this aspect, he could see the excellence of his younger brother, and couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Brother Kakashi, Sasuke still has a long way to go." Then a dissatisfied snort made Sasuke recall the bad scene again, and Uchiha Itachi was very embarrassed. Only Hatake Kakashi smiled and waved his hand, taking out a red book from his ninja tool bag. "Sasuke, this book is for you. It was written by Mr. Ye. It contains Mr. Ye's wonderful life and the true meaning of the world. It also contains the secret of how Hokage became stronger." Uchi Sasuke of the Snake Team was stunned by Hatake Kakashi's teasing, but he still accepted it. "A book written by Hokage-sama?" If it were normal times, he would absolutely disdain it, as he only pursues power.
However, when he came to this world and saw the scenes before his eyes, they overlapped with the memories in his mind at the same time. It seemed that he had thought of something and was about to grasp something. But he felt somewhat nervous inside! "I understand. I'll take a look." It was the first time that Uchiha Sasuke was so serious. Everything in this world was more unimaginable than the world of Tsukuyomi. It was like a dream, yet it was real. Mangekyō, the powerful Uchiha clan, even the Hokage of Konoha is an Uchiha. …… The Sarutobi clan, in the secret room. "We must fight back now! Konoha's surveillance and exclusion of us..." In the secret room, a mid-aged Sarutobi jonin spoke angrily, talking about how glorious they were in the past, but the current Hokage came to power through a coup, and how he treated them. "That's right! We have been bullied for so many years. And this group of untouchables in the village tried to curry favor with us, but now they keep complaining about us..." "We can't just sit there and wait for death. Konoha's Anbu has been monitoring us..." The ninjas from the Mito clan and the Utane clan also spoke unwillingly. Especially the eight years that made them fall from the clouds. No one can understand what it felt like in these eight years. You have to know that they were all superior in the village at the beginning. Even when facing the three major families of Senju, Uchiha and Hyuga, they were still not afraid. But now? "Look at the radical methods this Uchiha Hokage has used over the years. He has massively expanded his military power and even colluded with outsiders, including the Snow Clan, Uzumaki Clan, Kaguya Clan, and other families from other villages! Even a small clan like the Fuma clan, which is not well-known, can join Konoha. On the contrary, we! We, the clans that have shed blood for Konoha and made great contributions to Konoha, are being unfairly excluded! " The monthly meeting of the three clans' jonin in the secret room revealed great resentment and hostility. They all angrily denounced the injustice. "That's right! The evil Uchiha would rather trust outsiders and even use these outsiders to monitor us!" "And Asuma, the ungrateful traitor, has long been an Uchiha lackey!" "Since he, the Uchiha, was able to take power through a coup, why can't we do the same? We once again support the Third Generation to take power..." Under the long-term accumulation of resentment, extremely fierce voices gradually began to emerge within the three tribes, and most of them can no longer bear to stop it. It is very similar to the Uchiha clan in another time and space. After suffering unfair treatment, the long-term repression and fermentation is now close to the point of explosion. "As long as the Third-sama is restored, we will be able to control Konoha again. Konoha will become great again under our leadership. Only then will we have a future." "That's right! We have the Third Hokage here, and Konohamaru's talent has already been revealed. He is definitely the strongest genius of our Sarutobi clan, and he can be trained to become the new Hokage in the future..." After intense discussions in the secret room, the Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Utane clans have already planned their future direction. However, the meeting that they thought was extremely secret had already been left on the Hokage's desk word for word. …… Inside the Hokage's office.
"The three tribes are increasingly dissatisfied with the village. Even if the village maintains the status quo, I'm afraid the three tribes will exceed their limit of patience first..." "With this kind of mutual distrust between the two sides, the situation will only continue to deteriorate." At the desk, Uchiha Ye spoke about this matter with a heavy expression. At the same time, the heads of the six major departments of Konoha stood on both sides of the room. The head of the Anbu department is Nawaki Senju, the head of the Intelligence department is Hizashi Hyuga, the head of the Barrier department is Kushina Uzumaki, the head of the Medical department who also serves as the Hokage's assistant is Tsunade Senju, and the head of the Police department is Mikoto Uchiha. The head of the Root, Orochimaru, just came over to listen for a while and then took the opportunity to leave for something. This kind of thing could not attract his attention at all. "Lord Hokage!" Asuma Sarutobi showed a look of pain, but he continued to reveal the news of the violent coup within the family word for word. "I'm really sorry to disappoint you, Hokage, but the voices of dissatisfaction within the family are getting louder and louder, and even many people are dissatisfied..." With Asuma Sarutobi's report, it was almost as if he was saying that he could no longer control the Sarutobi clan. He has been almost deserted by everyone in recent years. However, looking at the painful Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Ye shook his head and said: "Asuma, you have worked hard. The village has seen everything you have done for Konoha." “But there are some things you know, everything that the Root Danzo did, including killing ninjas from the same village and secretly seizing the bloodline secrets of ninjas from the same village. All of this was irrefutable evidence. If the Third Hokage had killed Danzo at that time, there wouldn’t be such a big rejection now…” Listening to Uchiha Ye's melancholy voice, Sarutobi Asuma was also filled with aggrievedness. It was the old man who insisted on keeping Danzo, which led to him being ostracized by the village. They had already done something wrong, and the Hokage had given them the right to choose. As long as Danzo is killed, at least half of the bad influence can be eliminated. "Asuma, Danzo is still in prison. If the three clans are willing, I will give them my utmost trust...as long as the three clans are willing to make a choice." Uchiha Ye's solemn voice made Sarutobi Asuma show an excited look. "Thank you, Hokage-sama!" The Hokage is willing to trust them again and give them a chance, as long as the old man makes a choice and issues the decision to execute Danzo as the former three generations. Although it is eight years late and will not have as great an impact as before, at least it can be reduced by a small amount. As long as there is a relaxation of tension between the two sides, there is still a chance for everything to happen. "Asuma, I believe you are the one who inherited Konoha's true will of fire." Following Uchiha Ye's words of emotion, Sarutobi Asuma suddenly became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and nodded repeatedly in excitement. "Thank you, Hokage-sama!" However, after Asuma Sarutobi left respectfully and the door of the Hokage's office closed, Tsunade Senju, who was watching everything coldly, snorted coldly. "Night! The Sarutobi, Mitomon, and Utane clans are planning a coup to take back power in the village..." Perhaps it was because she was playing the good cop and the bad cop, or perhaps she wanted to express her dissatisfaction, so she started to express her opinion directly.
