Chapter 512 The Three Peaks are up to something again!
The pure Yang Release chakra inherent in the Uzumaki Sage Body slowly seeped into his Uchiha bloodline, gradually repairing the hidden defects within it.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and his scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly lit up, clearly reflecting everything around him.
He raised his hand to cover his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his eyes, his heart filled with joy.
The Kaleidoscope's strength has increased significantly, and it can now easily withstand the load of the complete Susanoo, greatly extending its combat duration.
However, he remained clear-headed, aware that prolonged and intensive use could still lead to blindness, and he could not afford to be careless.
"It's still a step below the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, barely touching the threshold of the Super Kage level, but its stamina is still insufficient."
Uchiha Mitsunori muttered to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"It seems I still need to find a way to upgrade to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, or transplant Hashirama cells. Of course, obtaining the Divine Tree Chakra would be even better."
Regardless of the method, the goal is to completely eliminate the risk of blindness, elevate one's strength to a new level, and gain sufficient resources to contend with top powerhouses like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Onoki, thus establishing a foothold in this chaotic world.
He looked down at Huiyi, who was fast asleep in his arms. The girl's brows were relaxed, her cheeks still flushed, her long eyelashes were hanging down quietly, and her breathing was even and gentle. She looked docile and lovable.
Uchiha Mitsunori leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead, holding her even tighter before closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
That night, there was no ninja conflict, no intrigue, and both of them slept exceptionally well, even their dreams were warm.
However, this peace and tranquility had already caused chaos in other corners of the ninja world.
The news that Uchiha Sanfeng led more than 900 Uchiha ninjas to wreak havoc in Kusagakure and forcibly took away all the Uzumaki clan members swept across the entire ninja world like a whirlwind.
The news spread throughout the five major ninja villages in just one day, keeping countless people awake all night.
The peace of the ninja world has been shattered once again, with undercurrents surging and various forces secretly plotting.
In the council hall of Iwagakure, Onoki sat behind his desk, looking at the urgent intelligence report, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
"Kusagakure is too weak to be worth the Uchiha Three Peaks making such a big fuss to rescue the Uzumaki clan members. Perhaps it is to win over the Senju clan members or to take the opportunity to suppress Hiruzen Sarutobi and others."
He had long seen through the internal strife within Konoha Village.
The conflict between Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Uchiha clan intensified, becoming irreconcilable.
The Uchiha Sanfengs did this to unite the remaining forces of the Senju clan, deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi and others, and completely seize control of Konoha's discourse.
Having figured this out, Onoki slowly raised his hand and instructed the ninjas bowing and waiting behind him: "Pass down the order: the entire Iwagakure army shall remain still and observe the situation."
He planned to sit back and watch the two sides fight, observing the internal strife within Konoha, and then reap the benefits when both sides were severely weakened, taking the opportunity to expand Iwagakure's influence.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, in the Raikage's office, the Fourth Raikage, A, looked at the intelligence report in his hand with a furrowed brow.
"The Uchiha Sanfeng... were able to crush Kusagakure single-handedly and even activate Susanoo. Their combat strength is enough to place them among the top in the ninja world. The Uchiha clan is indeed full of hidden talents."
Seeing that Iwagakure was holding back, he immediately hesitated.
If we act rashly, and are ambushed by Iwagakure, we will be attacked from both sides, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ai suppressed the urge to act rashly and instructed his subordinates: "Maintain the offensive posture against Iwagakure, closely monitor the movements of Konoha and the Uchiha clan, and do not act rashly."
The atmosphere in the Hokage's office in Konoha Village was extremely oppressive.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado sat around a table with the intelligence report that had spread throughout the ninja world on it.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the silence between them felt like an invisible shackle, making it hard to breathe.
Each of the four harbored their own thoughts, yet they all felt an unspeakable apprehension towards the actions of the Uchiha Mitsunaga.
Danzo Shimura broke the silence first, slamming his hand on the table with such force that the teacup on the table shook slightly, and a few drops of tea spilled out.
His tone was sharp, filled with anger and murderous intent: "Uchiha Sanfeng is utterly lawless!"
"He led his clansmen to provoke a neighboring ninja village without receiving any orders from the village. This is a blatant trampling on the Hokage's authority and a betrayal of Konoha!"
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes as he continued, "He must be executed immediately as a warning to others, otherwise the Uchiha clan will only become more arrogant!"
In his eyes, the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha Mitsurugi was already his for the taking. Killing the Uchiha Mitsurugi would not only eliminate a major threat but also allow him to seize a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan—why not?
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent, his fingers gripping his pipe. Amidst the swirling smoke, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Tobirama Senju's notes detailed the power of the Kaleidoscope, but also clearly pointed out its fatal flaw: overuse would lead to blindness. Far from being afraid of Mitsuru misusing the Kaleidoscope, he secretly rejoiced and even hoped that Mitsuru would use it frequently, go blind soon, and lose this threat.
If the Uchiha Mitsurugi had held back, saving the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan for last, and used it all against me, that would have been the most troublesome and dangerous situation.
"Danzo, don't do anything reckless."
Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke slowly, tapping his pipe lightly on the table, sending ash falling in a flurry.
"Konoha Village urgently needs to recuperate and stabilize the situation; it cannot afford to fall into further internal strife. You must not make a hasty decision; let's discuss it further."
He seemed to be acting for the sake of Konoha's stability, but in reality, he wanted to let the Uchiha Sanfeng run rampant, exhausting the power of his eyes in endless battles, so that they could eliminate this threat effortlessly.
Danzo Shimura's face was so dark it could drip water; he could only let out a cold snort and abruptly stand up.
He turned and strode out of the conference room, slamming the heavy wooden door shut with a loud bang, his anger and dissatisfaction palpable.
As soon as he entered the corridor, he raised his hand and summoned two Root ninjas dressed in black, their auras concealed.
The two immediately bowed, exuding an aura of death, like emotionless puppets.
Danzo lowered his voice and gave an unquestionable, absolute order: "Send a team of elite Root members to secretly infiltrate the border camp, launch a surprise attack on the Uchiha Sanfeng, and make sure to retrieve his Mangekyou Sharingan."
"Remember, you must act discreetly and leave no trace." His eyes were sinister, and his words were ruthless and merciless.
Meanwhile, inside the council chamber of the Uchiha clan compound.
Fugaku Uchiha looked at the intelligence report in his hand, raised his hand to rub his throbbing forehead, his face full of headache and seriousness.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, looking anxious.
The Uchiha clan's flamboyant actions have undoubtedly put them in a precarious position. A slight misstep could bring about the clan's annihilation and plunge its members into an abyss of no return.
"Yashiro, what do you think of Mitsunori's actions? He knew the Mangekyou Sharingan's flaws, yet he still activated Susanoo in front of everyone in Kusagakure. Such blatant behavior was far too risky."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to stroke his beard: "Clan head, Mitsumine is meticulous and always acts with discretion; he is by no means a reckless person."
"He knew the weakness of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he still used it in public. His purpose was to show off his strength and declare to the entire ninja world that the Uchiha clan was not a pushover and would make those forces that coveted the Uchiha clan wary."
Having followed Fugaku for many years, he knows the Uchiha clan members' personalities very well: "Now that he has achieved his goal, rescued the Uzumaki clan members, and demonstrated the strength of the Uchiha, I believe things will be peaceful for a while and he won't cause any more trouble."
Fugaku Uchiha sighed softly, his eyes filled with complex emotions. There was worry, apprehension, and a hint of barely perceptible envy. He himself had suffered a significant decline in eyesight after activating Susanoo to fight Onoki.
He deeply understands the fear of gradually blurring vision and slowly heading towards blindness.
If the Uchiha Mitsurugi were to lose his sight due to the misuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it would certainly pose no threat to his position as clan leader, and could even eliminate a powerful rival.
However, the Uchiha clan would also lose a top-tier fighter, which would undoubtedly be like cutting off their own arm, a loss that outweighs any gains.
"Write a letter to Sanfeng, instructing him to guard the border and absolutely not to recklessly overdraw the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Uchiha are currently in a difficult situation, and we cannot afford to lose such a top-tier fighter as him. His safety is crucial to the future of the entire Uchiha."
Fugaku Uchiha spoke solemnly, his clan leader's authority gone, replaced by concern for his clansmen.
He put aside his own selfish desires and ultimately prioritized the interests of the clan, unwilling to see the Uchiha clan weakened by the loss of the three peaks of the Uchiha clan.
"I understand, Fugaku."
The Eighth Hokage bowed respectfully in agreement.
"I will write it immediately, using the most tactful language, to remind Sanfeng to prioritize his own safety and the interests of his community, and not to act rashly again."
Having said that, he turned and left the council hall to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write a letter.
He knew Sanfeng's temperament well, and could only persuade him gently, not forcibly restrain him.
A day later, at the border camp, Uchiha Mitsunori received a letter.
He sat at the stone table in the courtyard, opened the envelope, quickly glanced through it, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
His eyes were full of disdain and eagerness, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Just guarding the border... living a peaceful life... that's too boring..."
He had no intention of staying put. The storm in the ninja world had only just begun, and he was not about to remain silent and miss this excellent opportunity to expand his power.
Now he has obtained the complete Sage Mode body, his chakra has surged to 40 chakra, and his eyes have been greatly enhanced. His strength has already reached the threshold of Kage level.
He was no longer the Uchiha ninja who had to worry about the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan and was restricted in his actions.
