Chapter 307 Pressure
Chapter 307 Pressure
The Uchiha clan is making its plans in an orderly manner.
However, the pressure on the Third Hokage is quite significant.
He had already received a message from Sarutobi Seishuu, and today was the second time he had called Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu to discuss the matter.
"At this point, you're still hesitating."
The Third Hokage said in a deep voice, "Are you just waiting for them to settle scores with you?"
Koharu Utatane slowly began to speak: "Over the years, I have made quite a few contributions to Konoha."
"At worst, I'll just refund some of the money."
“Over the years, our Tōsō clan has made a lot of money. Given my status, Uchiha Chiyō won’t touch me.”
The Third Hokage picked up his pipe and took a puff: "Do you really think the Uchiha clan just wants money?"
"This……"
Koharu Utatane hesitated, for everyone knew of the Uchiha clan's madness.
Furthermore, Chiyo was also a clever Uchiha.
"We can push Tsunade out."
Xiaochun, having turned to bed, sought a less desirable path.
The Third Hokage glanced at Koharu Utatane with disappointment: "We must prepare for the worst."
"Mitokado Homura, what about you?" Mikadokoro asked another teammate while Utatane Koharu was still considering.
Mitokado Homura's family didn't have anyone good at managing money; they spent all the money they embezzled.
It's absolutely impossible to get him to vomit.
The Mitokado family was small, and without hesitation, he said, "Hiruzen, I'll listen to you."
"In that case, I'll leave the task of finding a buyer to you."
The Third Hokage spoke.
Mitokado Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll definitely raise enough within ten days."
"Thanks a lot."
Koharu, upon seeing the Third Hokage preparing to act alone, felt a little panicked.
“How about this, our clan still has 20 billion in working capital, I can withdraw it first.”
"But the real estate can't be moved right now, and it would be easy for Tsunade or the Nara family to find it."
The Third Hokage's expression softened slightly; something was better than nothing.
"I'll figure out what to do about the real estate. I'll go see what Tsunade thinks first."
……
At the entrance to the Uchiha clan's territory.
"We Uchiha are approaching a critical moment, so we need more powerful forces."
"This mission is very dangerous. I hope you two can come back alive."
"Yes, Chieftain!"
The three Uchiha Mayumi, Uchiha Norihiko, and Uchiha Rinto, who were all neatly dressed, looked serious.
They had written their wills two days prior, preparing to undertake this perilous mission.
The words "Mangekyou Sharingan" carry immense weight.
The dangers are self-evident.
Qianyao patted the three of them on the shoulder with an air of importance, and then made a gesture to Itachi.
Itachi usually has a poker face.
He acted very convincingly at this moment, and with a wave of his hand, the group quickly disappeared through the doorway.
This is the third batch of people that Qianyao has sent out; they were all taken out by Itachi.
With two masters of illusion, Shisui and Itachi, they will be taken down soon after they leave.
Then he secretly brought it back to Orochimaru's laboratory.
Some were in a coma for a longer period of time, while others were in a coma for a shorter period of time.
Then just say the mission has failed.
However, only Uchiha Mayumi actually met the soul standard.
Additionally, Ji Yan's soul strength is somewhat lower, so you could give it a try.
Everyone else was just there to make up the numbers.
Chiyo carefully read their wills and discussed them with Itachi, Fugaku, and Shisui.
Whether Fugaku can successfully perform the eye technique is uncertain even for Chiyo.
……
"Lord Qianyao, we're back."
Chiyo saw off several groups of Uchiha elites at the gate, just as Kimimaro's team returned.
Kimimaro's squad didn't bring Yakumo and Karin this time, so it consisted of Kimimaro, Haku, Shion, and Gaara.
Their mission this time was to hunt down two Chunin from Amegakure.
The Hidden Rain Village was where Pain's regime clashed with Hanzo's regime.
Because of Pain's victory, many of Hanzo's side escaped.
Pain's complete disappearance in the past two years has been due to many of Hanzo's former associates spying on him.
The Rain Village usually can't spare anyone to handle these kinds of missions involving hunting down small fry.
Zenkyo's clone, Zenkyo, learned of this situation while staying in Amegakure Village.
This kind of task is then assigned to these younger generations to gain experience.
"Is everything going smoothly?" Qian Yao asked knowingly.
Kimimaro replied, "It just took some time to search for it."
Chiyo patted Kimimaro on the shoulder.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
He had told Kimimaro early on that the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) was very powerful, but also extremely dangerous.
He was told not to rely too much on the Corpse Bone Vein, and to report any discomfort that arose from overuse of it.
Kimimaro felt a warmth in his heart: "Lord Senyou, I'm fine. So far, I haven't met anyone who requires me to use my full strength."
Qian Yao nodded slightly: "Act within your capabilities and accumulate more experience."
"Yes, Lord Qianyao."
Qianyao placed it on Bai's hair and rubbed it.
"While you were away, Karin has grown taller. She said she'll compare heights with you when you come back."
Bai is very slender. He suffered a lot in his early years, and his physique has not changed much.
Just like a little child.
Qianyao wasn't sure if it was due to genetics.
But Bai is already 13 years old and still very short.
Shiro and Karin have a good relationship, and upon hearing this, Shiro smiled and said, "Yeah, I'll go see her later."
"What!? Karin has grown taller again!?" Shion was greatly surprised when she heard Chiyo's words.
Ziyuan quickly asked Qianyao, "Clan leader, how much taller has Xianglin grown this time?"
Chiyo glanced at Shion; she used to be played with by Karin.
Now that Karin has grown up, she'll probably become the big sister.
Qianyao laughed and said, "You'll see when you get there."
"Lord Qianyao, I'm back."
Gaara deliberately came to Senyou, his clothes bearing a huge and conspicuous fan emblem.
This means he was a member of the Uchiha clan.
They all looked travel-worn, but Gaara was clean and tidy.
His sand control technique is most practical in everyday use.
"Gaara, are you used to it?" Chiyo was referring to the fact that he no longer felt the connection with Shukaku.
"Nothing's changed from before, but it's much easier now."
Previously, Chiyo used the Four Symbols Seal to completely lock Shukaku in place, so Gaara couldn't hear Shukaku's voice at all.
Now that Shukaku has been removed, Gaara doesn't feel any different from before.
Gaara looked at Chiyo, whose hair was still gray, with a worried expression on his face.
"Lord Qianyao, your hair."
Chiyo's hand passed through Gaara's sand layer and patted Gaara's shoulder:
"I saved other people during this time, that's why I'm this color, don't worry about me."
Gaara finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, rest for a couple of days when we get back."
