(Dear readers, you've all reached chapter 112! Please give this book a 5-star rating. The author has had a tough time too!)
Nighttime, in Tsunade's living room, Uchiha Mitsunori lightly stroked the rim of a wine glass with his fingertips.
Tsunade poured him a full glass of sake, the necklace on her chest flashing green light with each movement.
"Sanfeng, what path have you chosen for your retreat?"
The wine glass paused between Uchiha Mitsunori's fingers as he gazed at the amber liquid: "The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, seized power through a coup... The Daimyo of the Land of Water has many conflicts with Yagura Karatachi... So I want to move Konoha Village... to the Land of Water."
Tsunade's fingertips unconsciously caressed the green crystal necklace. Both Konoha Village and this necklace were important legacies of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju.
Her voice trembled with disbelief: "You want to move Konoha to the Land of Water? What's the benefit of doing that?"
Uchiha Mitsunori put down his wine cup: "The Land of Water is surrounded by the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack... remote enough... suitable for us to recuperate and live in peace."
Tsunade abruptly grabbed his wrist, her gaze scrutinizing him: "Mitsubone, don't try to fool me! What exactly are you plotting?"
Uchiha Mitsunori gently stroked her cheek: "The Land of Fire is like a piece of fat meat... After we leave... other countries will pounce like hungry wolves... and then all countries will be trapped... in the quagmire of the Land of Fire... while we accumulate strength in the Land of Water!"
Tsunade's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she were seeing countless deaths.
Her voice trembled slightly: "Why did you do this? Do you know how many people will be injured or killed?"
Uchiha Mitsunori grabbed her wrist with a perfectly balanced grip, making it impossible for her to break free.
He whispered, "The Uchiha and Senju clans have harbored hatred for over a thousand years, but once they formed a village, that thousand-year-old feud came to an end!"
The candlelight suddenly flickered violently, casting the shadows of the two people onto the wall, where they intertwined as one.
In Tsunade's eyes, the eyes of the Uchiha Mitsunaga were growing brighter and brighter in the darkness.
His voice was filled with fervor: "If I unify all the countries of the ninja world... then... the wars of the ninja world... will become history."
Tsunade's pupils dilated slightly. For the first time, she saw clearly the man before her, realizing that he had such great ambition and aspirations... and the determination to change the world.
Suddenly, Uchiha Mitsunori pulled her into his arms, his strong heartbeat pounding through her robes: "Tsunade, will you support me?"
Tsunade felt as if she had returned to the Second Shinobi World War, seeing the corpses of Nawaki, Dan Kato, and the mountains of corpses of her loved ones piled up on the battlefield.
The war... caused her to lose many loved ones: "I support you, Sanfeng!"
When Uchiha Mitsunori's lips pressed down, he tasted the sake on Tsunade's lips, and even more so, the metallic determination within them.
When they separated, Tsunade's breathing was already erratic.
She pushed Uchiha Mitsuhamine away slightly, her jade necklace swaying between them: "Do you have a concrete plan for doing something this big?"
Uchiha Mitsunori's voice carried a calmness born of long planning: "I have already written to the daimyo of the Land of Water, stating that if he grants me a noble status in the Land of Water, I will bring the Uchiha clan to his side and eliminate Yagura Karatachi, as well as those disobedient ninja clans."
His hand moved restlessly downwards, and Tsunade grabbed his wrist, but couldn't stop him: "And then?"
Uchiha Mitsuhide's teeth gently bit Tsunade's earlobe.
The man's breath tickled her ear, sending a shiver down her spine: "I will leak this information to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, so that he can destroy the daimyo of the Land of Water, as well as the nobles there. Then I'll find a way to become the daimyo of the Land of Water and move Konoha to the Land of Water."
Tsunade suddenly rolled over and pinned him beneath her, her golden hair cascading down like a waterfall: "Becoming the daimyo of the Land of Water, is it really that easy?"
Uchiha Mitsunori chuckled wickedly, "Think about it, once we leave the Land of Fire, all the world's attention will be focused on the Land of Fire. They won't care about the Land of Water. They might even agree to it just to appease us."
Tsunade kissed him deeply: "You're a dangerous guy, Uchiha Mitsunaga."
Uchiha Mitsunori's smile appeared particularly sharp in the moonlight: "So... will you regret it?"
He was met with a passionate kiss from Tsunade.
Outside the window, a full moon hangs high, illuminating the statues of the Hokage of past generations on the Hokage Rock.
......
It was late at night in Daimyofu, the Land of Water.
The flickering candlelight illuminated several somber faces inside the council chamber.
The daimyo of the Land of Water... a man nearing fifty with sharp eyes, holding a newly delivered secret letter in his hand.
"Uchiha Mitsunori..." He murmured the name, a slight sneer appearing on his lips.
Fujiwara no Satoshi, the strategist beside him, frowned and asked, "Your Highness, is this credible? The Uchiha clan has always been arrogant; why would they suddenly be willing to pledge allegiance to us?"
The daimyo of the Land of Water laid out a letter on the table, his fingertips lightly tapping the wax seal on the letter... that was the Uchiha clan crest.
His voice was low, tinged with excitement: "The letter says that as long as I give him a noble status, he's willing to lead the Uchiha clan to join the Land of Water, and... he'll eliminate Yagura Karatachi and those disobedient ninja clans for us."
The ministers exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Military Minister Shima Tadashi said in a low voice, "Your Highness, if we can truly win over the Uchiha clan, and even the entire Hidden Leaf Village... the Fire Country's fighting strength will be greatly reduced! At that time, we can unite with the Lightning Country, the Earth Country, and the Wind Country..."
He didn't continue, but everyone present understood what he meant—to divide up the Land of Fire!
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.
He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the Hidden Mist Village in the distance.
He said coldly, "That madman Yagura should have died long ago. Since the Uchiha Mitsunaga is willing to do it for us, that's perfect."
He turned and ordered the commander of the secret guards beside him: "Reply immediately and agree to his conditions! At the same time, secretly contact the daimyo of the three kingdoms of Thunder, Earth, and Wind, and tell them—the time has come!"
Just as the daimyo of the Land of Water made his decision, a dark figure silently slipped under the eaves of the daimyo's mansion.
Uchiha Shisui's figure blended into the darkness like a ghost, his Mangekyou Sharingan flickering slightly in the shadows.
"Kotoamatsukami..."
His eye technique was activated silently, subtly intensifying the greed and ambition in the heart of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.
The daimyo originally harbored the idea of "dividing up the Land of Fire," and under his control, it became even more resolute and unwavering.
"That way... the plan will be foolproof."
Uchiha Shisui's lips curled up slightly, and then he vanished in an instant, as if he had never been there.
