Prelude to Chapter 114
Two days have passed quietly.
During the day, Chiyo would wander around the school, and at other times she would occasionally switch to Itachi's side or Yagura's side.
But both sides were on their way, especially Yagura, who had to cross the ocean, so time was not so fast.
Qianyao only checked the situation before withdrawing.
At night, he would focus his consciousness on Naruto to reinforce his learning of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique.
I also took the opportunity to communicate the plan with Kushina.
Kushina was particularly excited when she learned that this would improve Naruto's living environment.
This morning, Orochimaru sent Guren to inform him that the plan could begin tomorrow.
During the break between classes, Chiyo walked past Neji face to face.
Neji took a few steps forward before he came to his senses.
He tried his best to control his expression, but a look of horror still appeared in his eyes.
I never expected my principal to transmit intelligence in this way.
Neji organized the information; it wasn't much, but he wrote it all down.
Because he had something on his mind, Neji was somewhat distracted in class that day.
She secretly glanced at Neji several times during class and even wanted to talk to him after school.
But Neji waited until school was over, then left the others and rushed to the clan.
……
Uchiha clan.
"Chiyo, are you trying to provoke the Third Hokage by doing this?"
Fugaku was somewhat surprised after hearing Chiyo's words.
Qian Yao laughed and said, "How could Konoha possibly find a way to control the Nine-Tails in just a few days?"
"As long as we don't cross Hiruzen Sarutobi's bottom line, he will have no choice but to back down again and again."
"We need to acquire sufficient power and benefits during this period."
"Therefore, this pressure is very important and requires the clan leader and the Grand Elder to personally take action."
"And, the Grand Elder will have to be the one to speak again."
"Danzo still owes our clan Sharingan. It's too naive of him to think he can get away with it like this."
"We must maintain our assertive stance in order to force the three generations to make concessions."
Politics is inherently a matter of give and take; the Uchiha side did receive two honorary elders of Konoha and the position of principal of the Ninja Academy as compensation.
However, compared to the hatred of the clan being ambushed and killed by the Roots, which nearly led to the extermination of the clan, it was insignificant.
All of the actions mentioned above are just steps in the process; it's still a long way off before we reach our goal.
Since Danzo was deliberately left behind, it was naturally to provide a target for a second attack.
After all, the Third Hokage nominally dismissed Danzo, but is it possible that Root will disband?
Qianyao never believed what the Third Hokage said.
Fugaku nodded in agreement. In any case, Chiyo was smarter than him, so all he had to do at times like this was obey.
"No problem, I'll inform the Grand Elder."
"I will go with the Grand Elder tomorrow."
After Qianyao had arranged things in the clan, he began to review whether the third generation might resort to desperate measures.
If a dog is cornered and resorts to desperate measures, you should also have the ability to retaliate.
The best scenario is to keep the main body within the clan, where there is a lot of chakra, but the shadow clones cannot activate Susanoo.
But using a shadow clone to go to school shouldn't be a problem.
……
Hyuga clan.
In the main family courtyard, Neji delivered the information he had received to Empress So.
Sōta quickly arrived at the clan's courtyard to report.
Riji quickly summoned several elders.
In the conference room.
The elder looked at the documents in his hand: "This is something that Uchiha Chiyo asked us to distribute?"
"Yes, Elder."
There wasn't much information on the document, and Rizu and the other elders glanced at it one by one.
They exchanged a few glances.
They were pretty sure there was only half here.
It's not just half of the information; the Uchiha definitely have other plans.
These are only some of the things they are responsible for.
The Second Elder laughed: "The Uchiha are putting pressure on Hiruzen Sarutobi again."
"This is clearly a move to force us to take sides completely."
The Third Elder hesitated for a moment: "The Uchiha are playing with fire."
The Second Elder sneered, "The Uchiha are known for playing with fire."
The Third Elder ignored the Second Elder, who was a brute, and looked at the First Elder with a questioning gaze.
The elder shook his head slightly and said, "Now that things have come to this, our Hyuga clan has no way out."
"When Koshin died, he completely blocked the path to Konoha."
"If we keep wavering now, the Uchiha will just abandon us."
"It's not that the Uchiha need the Hyuga right now, it's that we Hyuga need the Uchiha."
Hiashi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Those people that Hiruzen Sarutobi called back are indeed their clansmen."
"The medicines in the Konoha Hospital system are all handled by the Nara clan."
"They have confirmed this intelligence."
Although it had been confirmed before, the elders still felt a chill in their hearts now that it had been confirmed by several elders.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has actually amassed so many people.
"Alright, since no one objects, let's wait for the Uchiha's signal tomorrow."
……
The next day.
Naruto has been diligently memorizing the characters for three days.
Still fast asleep in bed.
Naruto staying home is a good thing for the Anbu who are watching him.
However, the Anbu also quietly came over to check on Naruto, and after finding that Naruto was alright, they quietly left the room.
It was already past noon when Naruto groggily opened his eyes.
He staggered to the washbasin.
"Gulu, gulu, gulu..."
"puff……"
After tidying up, Naruto also finished washing up.
Then, with a serious expression, he walked to the desk and opened the book.
I turned the pages of the book one by one and began to read the new words.
"...generally refers to the product of an average mixture of mental energy and physical energy."
Naruto slowly exhaled; this was the first time he had ever done something so seriously.
He really did learn all the new characters in three days.
He recognized every single word in this introduction about chakra, from the very first character to the very last!
Naruto stood up excitedly: "Oh! That's great!"
The ANBU members outside shook their heads, wondering what Naruto was up to.
After shouting excitedly a few times, Naruto repeatedly called out Kushina's name in his mind:
"Whirlpool, can you hear me?!"
Did you hear that!?
A satisfied voice echoed in my mind:
"Indeed, if you want to do it, you can definitely do it."
Kushina felt relieved to see Naruto studying so diligently over the past three days.
"Vortex! You promised me! You were going to tell me about my origins!"
Kushina slowly exhaled: "Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."
"You sit down first."
Naruto sat down properly at the table, his eyes shining, as if afraid he might miss a single word.
"Before I tell you your identity, let me give you a little background information: what are tailed beasts and what are jinchūriki..."
