Chapter 104 Undercurrent(2/3)
Liuli said definitely.
"But how to turn it on?"
Shiraishi asked the key.
No matter whether the Mangekyō Sharingan is a legend or a real eye technique, if it is not turned on, it is the same as nothing.
Shiraishi knew very little about these eyes, and it was impossible for him to conduct human research on ninjas with Sharingan eyes. Otherwise, he could analyze whether there was any stronger power hidden in the Sharingan eyes.
"I think it may be the same as the ordinary Sharingan, which requires strong emotional stimulation to open the eye."
Because in the beginning, her Sharingan was promoted to the three magatama form step by step.
And reaching the three magatama form is equivalent to reaching the end of the ordinary Sharingan.
A year ago, Ruri wouldn't be sure that her Sharingan was the strongest among Uchiha, but now she is absolutely confident that no one in the family can surpass her in the application of Sharingan.
Soon after, Liuli left, and Baishi's face was calm.
There is no need to worry about the chakra limiter, but the Mangekyō Sharingan...
Shiraishi couldn't help but think of the unknown Sharingan he encountered last year. A ninja who could control that level of eye power was definitely not an unknown person in the ninja world.
In other words, is that really the eye power that a three-magatama-level Sharingan can control?
Even though Ruri has now practiced senjutsu, her pupil power has exceeded the limit of the Three Magatama Sharingan. However, compared with the two, Shiraishi still feels that the power of Ruri's Three Magatama Sharingan is even worse.
It seems that there are still many ulterior secrets hidden in the Uchiha clan.
Just when Shiraishi was about to return to the laboratory, General Tu emerged from the ground.
It took out a scroll from its body and placed it in front of Shiraishi.
Shiraishi had a surprised look on his face, but he still picked up the scroll, opened it, and read the contents.
There is only one thing mentioned above -
Sunagakure and Iwagakure secretly purchased a large amount of medical supplies from Shionka Company, and were suspected of entering the stage of war preparation.

"I didn't expect that there are remnants of the Uzumaki clan hidden inside Kusakure Village."
In a dark environment, Danzo said this after receiving the intelligence documents submitted by his subordinates.
Half a month has passed since the attack on Caoyin Village.
During this period, the focus of the shinobi villages from all over the world was focused on Kusagakure. Unsurprisingly, Konoha's Anbu and Roots also focused their attention on Kusugakure, trying to find out the reasons behind the attack on Kusugakure.
Even though Caoyin Village tried its best to conceal it, based on some clues, investigators at the root found some suspicious places and confirmed that there were remnants of the Uzumaki clan in Caoyin Village.
However, following the attack, the remnants of the Uzumaki clan mysteriously disappeared from Kusakure Village and are currently missing.
Danzo held the reward list with the portraits of Tian Yunv and Thunder Maru on it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Did they attack Kusagakure Village for the remnants of the Uzumaki clan?
First, they attacked Ghost Lantern City, made bait, and mobilized Caoyin Village's troops towards Ghost Lantern City.
Then they quickly launched an attack on Caoyin Village. The scattered troops of Caoyin Village were unable to fight back in the face of the enemy's air attack.
On the day after the attack, Kusagakure Village counted the losses and found that the remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the village were missing. The Kusagakure ninjas who guarded them also had their traces wiped away and disappeared from the world.
This is the general result deduced by the root investigators. Although there may be discrepancies in some places during the process, these are the main lines of events.
"Danzo-sama, do you want to immediately launch an investigation into the remnants of the Uzumaki clan?"
the root ninja asked.
"No need. Since the other party has done such a thing, he must have taken this into consideration. If we investigate now, the biggest possibility is that we will get nothing and waste our energy. Compared with tracking down the whereabouts of these Uzumaki clan remnants, right now
The most important thing is to guard against the Uchiha clan."
Danzo shook his head.
The people who attacked Caoyin Village had a careful plan. Before the attack, the attackers had already laid out their retreat route.
A lot of time has been wasted investigating the cause of the attack on Caoyin Village. At this time, it is completely too late to conduct an investigation.
"Yes." The root ninja lowered his head, and then thought of something and said: "But Mr. Danzo, our people can't get close to Uchiha Ruri at all. All the people who have secretly monitored her in the past have not sent back any news so far. Life and death
I don’t know.”
Although I really want to share the pressure with Danzo, the leader, the terrifying guy who monitors Uchiha Ruri has already lost many root ninjas who are good at lurking.
If this continues, it will be meaningless to continue to dispatch professional ninjas in lurking fields. It will only lose the fundamental strength.
After all, there was one person who was sent out before, and his hidden ability could not even be detected by sensory ninjutsu. However, even for such a professional latent ninja, the mission still ended in failure.
Either he died, or he was caught and imprisoned, otherwise it would be impossible that no information could be sent back to him until now.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be reported to the Hokage. Nebe secretly launched surveillance on the Uchiha clan members without any order. Even if they were killed, the Hokage would be responsible for his own fault, and it was Nebe himself who suffered.
"If I had gotten rid of her earlier at all costs..."
Danzo, who was sitting on his seat, felt that things were difficult.
Even if it's too late to regret it now, that little girl from the Uchiha group has grown to the point where nothing can be done about it.
If you want to get rid of her secretly, you will probably need at least several jounin and a dozen chuunin to join forces and lay a dragnet in advance.
And now he can't even control the other person's whereabouts and schedule. It's really difficult to set a trap for her like he did a few years ago.
"I'm very sorry, Danzo-sama."
"This has nothing to do with you. The current situation between the Roots and the Uchiha clan is exactly the balance that the Sandaime hopes to see, and this balance will harm the village sooner or later. Therefore, people from this clan must not be taken lightly.
"
Danzo made this judgment.
In his eyes, the balancing strategy that Hiruzen has always pursued is just a product of compromise with the Uchiha clan.
Although this balance ensured the stability of Konoha to a certain extent, it also caused Konoha to lose many opportunities to become stronger.
Sure enough, I am the most suitable person to be Hokage.
Thinking of this, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Danzo's eyes.
A single thought at that time caused me to miss the position of Hokage, and from then on I could only become a root buried deep in the darkness of Konoha.
Looking back now, this is what I regret the most.
And now, this is the moment for him to use the power of his roots to save Konoha again.

The Country of Wind, Sand Hidden Village.
In an inconspicuous conference room, all the senior Sunagakure jounin including the Third Kazekage were gathered.
Along with the consultants Chiyo and his brother, they are also among them, serving as the third-generation Kazekage's right and left deputies.
"Everyone, I have decided to launch an attack on Konoha in the Land of Fire next year."
At the beginning of the meeting, Sandai Fengkage got straight to the point.
After hearing these words, none of the surrounding high-ranking jounin showed any surprise.
If you think about it carefully, Sunagakure Village has been secretly accumulating strength since the last Ninja War, laying the groundwork for the Third Ninja War that they will personally trigger soon.
It was only expected that the Third Kazekage would bring up this matter at this time.
In order to warm up the Third Ninja War that will be held soon, the last Ninja War resulted in the death of Konoha's elite Jounin Kato Dan.
Just last year, Konoha White Fang also committed suicide due to Konoha's high-level mistakes. Konoha's high-end combat power suffered heavy losses at this time, and it was a God-given opportunity.
The Third Hokage needs to stay in Konoha and defend the other ninja villages and cannot be easily mobilized.
The only high-end combat power that Konoha can mobilize on the battlefield at this moment is the Konoha Sannin.
Although the Konoha Sannin performed well in the last great ninja war, the three of them jointly blocked the attack of the Sunagakure troops led by their Kazekage.
But in the later stage, the Sannin began to weaken. If Konoha White Fang hadn't penetrated into the hinterland of Sunagakure's position to disrupt, Sunagakure would have succeeded last time.
But now, Konoha no longer has the second Konoha White Fang. On the frontal battlefield, with their Kazekage-sama here, what do the Sannin mean?
"Master Kazekage, when is the specific time to attack Konoha?"
A jounin couldn't help but ask.
The general plan was very clear to the high-ranking Jonin present. The only thing that needed to be discussed now was when was the best time to attack Konoha.
"I have discussed with Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo in advance and believe that February next year is the best time. In the second month of the new year, Konoha will be caught off guard."
After the Third Kazekage said this, senior advisors Chiyo and Ebizou sat in their seats with calm expressions on their faces, obviously agreeing with the Third Kazekage's point of view.
The other senior jounin looked at each other. Although a small number of them had reservations, since the three most influential senior officials had already voted on their views, the attack on Konoha in February next year must have been a certainty.
"Elder Chiyo, I leave it to you to prepare the supplies."
The Third Kazekage stood up from his seat and gave instructions to the advisor Chiyo beside him.
"Leave this matter to me, Sandaime. I have asked people to cooperate with Shionka Company and ask them to provide us with a large amount of medical supplies for Sunagakure."
To be continued...
