Depending on where you stand, the things you consider will naturally vary.

Strictly speaking, the trauma Uchiha Sasuke brought to Konoha was not very serious, and the damaged buildings could be rebuilt with the support of the Daming Palace.

But after the other party made such a fuss, not only the external negotiation pressure, but also the internal voices became confused.

In any case, Uchiha Sasuke caused hundreds of victims. The families of these victims prayed and wrote letters, hoping that the Hokage could bring such traitors to justice as soon as possible and execute them with capital punishment to comfort the victims.

The spirit in heaven.

Not only that, some of the forces that had followed the advisory group also began to jointly submit a letter, hoping to capture the traitor Uchiha Sasuke as soon as possible and bring him back to the village for trial.

Nowadays, whenever the topic of Uchiha Sasuke comes up within the village, it can almost be described as a state of outrage.

But this way, a lot of pressure was put on her side.

Tsunade didn't know if someone else was deliberately guiding her to put pressure on her, but this heavy pressure could not be faked.

Tsunade could understand the anger of the villagers and ninjas in the village.

But from a practical point of view, the execution of Uchiha Sasuke still needs to be considered in the long term.

To put it more simply, with Konoha's current strength, it is simply impossible to do this.

The Daming Mansion is also conservative. This matter can be over with a little patience at this time. There is no need to make a big show of confrontation with the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Nowadays, the main focus is to continue to develop military power. These humiliations will be recovered from the Kingdom of Ghosts in the future.

Therefore, Tsunade felt extremely troubled by the extremely angry situation in the village.

"Sir Hokage, the detailed loss report has been calculated. Do you want to take a look now?"

Shikaku walked in and sent a detailed loss data of the attack.

"No, just put it on the table. I'll look at it later."

"yes."

Shikaku placed the document on his desk.

"Are you worried about the troublemaking villagers in the village?"

Shikaku understood Tsunade's difficulty at this time.

"Ah, it's not that it's difficult. I can completely understand their desire to avenge their loved ones."

Just like when her brother and lover died, in addition to pain, she also had long-term thoughts of revenge.

Tsunade has also experienced the pain and hatred of her relatives being killed, so she is very clear about the pain in these people's hearts and their hatred for Uchiha Sasuke.

From another perspective, Uchiha Sasuke also came in the name of revenge. As Hokage, she can arrest or even eliminate the opponent for assault, but it is really untenable to accuse him of revenge.

foot.

What's more, it is no longer a question of revenge or non-revenge. The key to the matter has gradually escalated to the historical conflict between Konoha and the Demon Country. After all, the three people who controlled the military, political and commercial circles of the Demon Country were all known as 'treason'.

In the name of Shinobu, he separated from Konoha.

In Tsunade's view, Uchiha Sasuke was just a pawn used by the three of them to test Konoha's strength at this time.

"Even so, it is temporarily impossible to get them to let go of their hatred."

Shikaku replied.

And time may smooth everything, but it can also make hatred grow stronger in the heart.

"Let's do this for now, let them make a fuss and vent their emotions."

Tsunade sighed. She really wanted to fight back immediately, but she lacked strength at this time, leaving her wanting more than she could do.

If she wanted to regain all the power of Konoha, she wouldn't mind wrestling with Shiraishi.

But now that Konoha is divided and cannot be unified, if it wants to fight the Kingdom of Demons head-on, the result will probably be like the previous Fourth Ninja War, with heavy losses.

"Also, regarding another matter, you ask the Intelligence Department to conduct a key analysis."

Tsunade remembered something and said to Shikaku.

"What's up?"

Shikaku blinked curiously.

"Eternal Kaleidoscope...Have you ever heard of this title?"

Tsunade turned around and stared at Shikaku with solemn eyes.

"Eternal Kaleidoscope..."

Shikaku chewed on such words and shook his head, saying that he had never heard of such a thing.

"I also learned something about it through the records in some files left by my second grandfather. Although the ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan is powerful, it will be accompanied by overuse and the risk of blindness. Therefore, in order to avoid such defects,

, and in order to make the power of the Mangekyō's eyes stronger, it is necessary to further improve the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Go further?"

After hearing this, Lu Jiu suddenly felt something in his heart and had a bad premonition.

"Hokage-sama, I want to know, the key to making the Mangekyō Sharingan go further is..."

The power displayed by the Mangekyo Sharingan is already so terrifying. If it goes one step further, can Konoha really be able to resist it with its current power?

"We need another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, preferably one that is directly related to us."

Tsunade said this, leaving Shikaku speechless for a long time.

Tsunade ignored Shikaku's increasingly ugly expression and continued: "I was concerned about ANBU's previous investigation into the Land of Forest. Coupled with some of the evidence you got from the roots, I think Uchiha Itachi probably

Already died at the hands of Uchiha Sasuke."

In other words, if Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan also falls into the hands of the Demon Country, then Uchiha Sasuke already has the possibility of birthing an eternal Mangekyō.

Although I was hoping it would be a lucky break, I thought that the Demon Country did not obtain Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan, for example, because the opponent destroyed his eyes before he died... but the possibility of this is extremely slim.

Regarding the information on the Sharingan, except for the various information left by her second grandfather Senju Tobirama, Konoha's research on the Sharingan has not been updated for decades.

However, in the Kingdom of Oni, there are real objects like the Mangekyo Sharingan for direct research, and the completeness of Sharingan research data is even greater than that of Konoha.

The other party must also understand the Eternal Kaleidoscope, and even understand its principles better than Konoha. After understanding this power, it is impossible for the Demon Country's military not to make corresponding arrangements.

"What level the power of the Eternal Kaleidoscope will reach, I cannot directly give intuitive data. However, I know that the last Uchiha ninja with such eyes was Uchiha Madara."

Once the name 'Madara Uchiha' was spoken, the atmosphere in the office became completely silent.

As the Hokage and the Jonin squad leader, they must take this worst possibility as the premise to deal with the future attitude of the Kingdom of Demons.

◎

After leaving Tsunade, Shikaku's worries in his heart were not relieved by the end of the matter, but instead he became even more nervous.

The Eternal Mangekyo, the advanced Sharingan, Uchiha Madara, the battle at the Valley of the End... all kinds of information were quickly filtered through Shikaku's mind, and he finally found that it was impossible to prevent such a thing from happening.

It has long been a clear fact that Uchiha Itachi possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.

When Uchiha Sasuke attacked Konoha, he also demonstrated the power of the kaleidoscope.

At this time, the Kingdom of Demons probably has two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan who are very closely related by blood.

An Uchiha ninja who might be more terrifying than Uchiha Ruri would be born in the land of ghosts.

The thought of such a gloomy future is just starting to rub salt into Konoha's wounds.

The Jounin of Konoha who passed by Shikaku wanted to say hello to him, but found that Shikaku's face was dull and gloomy. He immediately gave up the idea and wondered why the other person became like this as soon as he came out of the Hokage's office.

Look like this.

Isn't the current situation in the village bad enough?

Lu Jiu ignored the doubts of these colleagues. His mood was indeed not relaxed at this time.

Compared with the information obtained from the Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke's previous attack on Konoha was not a big threat.

After arriving at the ward on the third floor of Konoha Hospital, Shikaku calmed down the worried expression on his face and entered directly without knocking on the door.

His son Shikamaru, who had just woken up, looked weaker than expected.

The other person was sitting on the hospital bed, his head turned slightly, and his eyes glanced out the window. Hearing the sound of the door opening and footsteps, he turned his head and met Shikaku's eyes.

"Dad, I..."

Maybe he was asleep for several days, so when he opened his mouth, his voice was very hoarse.

Shikaku, who wanted to say something serious, couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when he heard Shikamaru's hoarse and weak voice, but he still said with a straight face:

"As for your rash action this time, there will be relevant punishments in the future. Just be mentally prepared."

"Yes. These punishments, I will..."

Shikamaru did not refuse. As smart as he was, he naturally knew that his behavior of colluding with Danzo was unforgivable in the eyes of the Hokage faction and those who regarded him as the heir to the family.

However, before he could finish his words, a cold and old voice sounded in the ward, interrupting the communication between their father and son:

"Young people will inevitably make mistakes, so a little reprimand is enough. A heavy punishment would be inhumane, wouldn't it? I wonder, Shikaku, if you are willing to give me some face?"

Hearing this voice, the creepy breath sent a chill down Shikaku's spine. He twisted his body stiffly and looked at the old man who had appeared in the corner of the ward without knowing when, leaning on a cane.
