Naruto: The spiritual leader of the Uchiha clan

"Ah? I'm collecting materials, right?" Jiraiya laughed somewhat unnaturally.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya like this, sighed and smiled. Maybe this would make Jiraiya happier.

Only Kato Danzhi was watching all this. A gust of wind blew by, and he shivered all over.

Tsunade and Uchiha Owl in the distance were able to snuggle together, eat barbecue together, hug each other for warmth, and Uchiha Owl even took out a shirt from the scroll and covered Tsunade with it.

Kato Dan turned and left, as if he had made some kind of decision, and never looked back.

Tsunade seemed to be full and felt safe next to Uchiha Owl, so she fell asleep quickly, her head resting on Uchiha Owl's shoulder.

Uchiha Xiao trembled all over. He looked at Tsunade, his gaze unconsciously lowered. He couldn't help swallowing. It was so big!

Then he shook his head. No, the other person is sleeping, he can't... Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Xiao cleared the distracting thoughts from his mind.

Then he gently supported Tsunade's round and smooth thigh with one hand and her back with the other hand, and walked towards Tsunade's tent.

After putting Tsunade on her bed, Uchiha Owl took out a small stool and a small wooden table from the tent and sat at the door of the tent.

He rested his chin on his right hand, looked at the stars and the moon in the sky, and fell into deep thought.

There is still a long way to go, and some things don't need to be rushed. Both of them now know each other's feelings, but etiquette cannot be abandoned. Only after marriage can they take that final step. (You can also say that the author's thinking is old-fashioned)

I don’t know how long it took, but I felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day

Tsunade opened her eyes, but she didn't see Uchiha Xiao. She couldn't help but feel confused. She remembered that she seemed to sleep next to Uchiha Xiao. Where was Uchiha Xiao? Where was he?

Then she looked around and confirmed that this was her tent. She got up, washed up, and opened the tent curtain. She saw Uchiha Xiao sleeping with his chin resting on his hand and his head down.

She suddenly became cheerful, but considering that Uchiha Owl was uncomfortable sleeping like this, Tsunade was about to pick up Uchiha Owl.

Uchiha Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. He felt someone approaching, right behind him! He looked back and saw it was Tsunade, so he closed his eyes again.

"Owl Lord, it's not comfortable to sleep like this." Tsunade said with a smile.

Uchiha Xiao didn't open his eyes, but his lips moved. "It's okay, let me sleep a little longer!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Xiao put his hands on the table, looking completely undignified. Tsunade smiled slightly. She carried Uchiha Xiao to the bed, and then watched him in the room.

You know what, Uchiha Xiao's appearance is really hard to beat! Tall figure, broad shoulders, messy long hair down to the waist, and fair skin.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he is the best in Konoha! Tsunade was a little dazed for a moment. She looked at the sleeping Uchiha Owl and licked her lips.

Tsunade got up and walked to Uchiha Owl's bed, her heart pounding. She then lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek. A blush then appeared on her cheeks. She glanced at the sleeping Uchiha Owl and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the door of the tent again, Shengshu was holding a bag of food, his eyes wide open in disbelief!

This is her sister! She actually kissed Big Brother Owl! Tsunade's face calmed down instantly. She came to Rope Tree with a flash step, covered his mouth, and "carried" him away.

Rope Tree knows too much!

Chapter 63 The Third Kazekage's Rage

Chiyo quickly caught up with the Yekura troops that had evacuated earlier. Ebizo saw that his sister had returned safely, well, not safely, after all, the Chikamatsu Juninbei were gone.

Ye Cang smiled and said, "Granny Chiyo..." Before she could finish, a figure passed by her. Ye Cang looked closely and saw that it was Ebizo.

When Ebizo saw his sister, it was like seeing the light. He hugged his sister and said, "Sister, I thought, you..." His voice was a little choked.

Chiyo rolled her eyes at him and said, "What did you think happened to me? Captured? Or killed?" But while saying this, she still patted Ebizo's back.

Then, Chiyo turned to look at Ye Cang, nodded to her, and forced a smile. Ye Cang also nodded in response. After all, they were the defeated generals. This battle basically destroyed one third of the Sand Village's strength.

Both of them knew that the Third Kazekage would be furious when they returned this time, so Chiyo took over the command and became the commander-in-chief of this remnant army.

She wanted to take all the responsibility by herself, but Ebizo immediately objected. It was obviously his fault for underestimating the enemy that caused this result, so why should his sister bear the responsibility!

Chiyo gave him a cold look and said, "Ebizo, am I giving you face? The reason I took on this responsibility is because someone in the village wanted to attack your nephew. I took this opportunity to step back and protect my family!"

"At your age, you're still crying. What a disgrace! Besides, one of us is an elder and knows what's going on at the top. Do you really think it's a good thing for both of us to be in the top positions?" Chiyo snorted coldly. Although her younger brother occasionally had brilliant ideas, his political sensitivity was too low.

This time it was obviously Rasa who betrayed Chiyo and wanted to make Chiyo have no descendants. Even a fool could see it, but what did the last three generations of Kazekage do?

Just because Luo Sha pushed the blame onto his brother-in-law, the Third Kazekage acquiesced and confined Luo Sha to his house for a year for improper supervision?

Is the Third Kazekage stupid? No, what's his purpose in doing this? He simply hasn't given up on letting Luosha inherit the Kazekage title. He has his own reasons.

There are only four high-ranking officials in the village, the Third Kazekage, Bunfuku, Chiyo, and Ebizo. Bunfuku is a neutral person and the Jinchuriki of Sand Village. He has the One-Tailed Shukaku sealed in his body. With his strength, he has a considerable say in Sand Village, but he is neither from the elders nor from the commoners.

The Third Kazekage rose from humble beginnings. Logically, he belonged to the civilian faction, but he was very smart and did not reveal which faction he belonged to. He spoke differently to different people.

He supported the elders and agreed with the civilians, but there were four positions of power in total, and Chiyo and Ebizo occupied two, which made him, the Kazekage, somewhat silent.

According to talent, both Luo Sha and Ye Cang have Kekkei Genkai, and Ye Cang's talent is higher than Luo Sha's. Why didn't the Third Kazekage choose Ye Cang over the years? It's because she is from the Elder Faction!

Although the Third Kazekage didn't say anything on the surface and did respect Chiyo, he did support weakening the Elders' voice.

"Okay, it's settled! Ebizo, don't force me to slap you before I retire!" Chiyo glared at Ebizo. Ebizo opened his mouth, but finally retracted it at Chiyo's eye signal.

Central Army Tent

The Third Kazekage slammed his hand on the table, pointed at the signalman, and said, "What the hell are you talking about? A massive defeat on the front line? Over 4,000 ninja lost? And the enemy has less than 2,000?"

He didn't know that this was just a nice way of saying it by the signalman. If the enemy's losses were less than a thousand people, he would probably have to take a wave of sand iron spikes on the spot.

"Yes, Lord Kazekage, it's not our army's fault that they are incompetent. It's just that the enemy is too cunning. They can come up with the strategy of climbing Dayu at night and attacking the military camp at night!" The signalman was still pleading for Chiyo, Ebizo and others.

The Third Kazekage glanced at him, and he immediately shut his mouth. Then the Third Kazekage stood up, took a deep breath, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, I know the situation, you go down first!"

"Yes!" The signalman saluted and turned to leave, but he did not notice that there was murderous intent in the eyes of the Third Kazekage. Haha, even a signalman was facing Chiyo and the others.

The elders’ hands were too long. He snapped his fingers, and then the Sand Ninja Anbu appeared in his room, kneeling on the ground and listening to his orders.

"Get rid of that signalman just now. When Elder Chiyo and the others come back, throw the body in front of them." After saying that, the Third Kazekage returned to his calm demeanor.

"Yes!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Anbu's eyes, and he disappeared into the tent.

The Third Kazekage sat in his seat, tapping the table in front of him rhythmically with his right hand, a faint smile on his face.

"I hope you will like this gift, two elders." The Third Generation Fengying murmured, and then continued to look at the military book, recalling the strategy just mentioned by the messenger, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"What a great idea! I originally thought that Konoha was only powerful in strength, but I didn't expect that there would be so many wise and intelligent characters, haha." The Third Kazekage narrowed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps readers think that the Third Kazekage is the strongest Kazekage simply because of his strength, but I think that's only one aspect of the story. If his political skills weren't strong enough, his methods weren't ruthless enough, and his mind wasn't deep enough, he would have become a puppet of the elders long ago! (Just my humble opinion)

Chiyo and her group arrived five hundred meters in front of the central military tent. They felt exhausted, especially Ebizo and Yekura, while Chiyo looked calm.

As the wife of the first Kazekage, she has seen all kinds of political tactics. Because of her status, the third Kazekage cannot touch her.

The way the Third Kazekage dealt with Rasa this time also made Chiyo clearly understand that the Third Kazekage was very skilled in using the method of checks and balances.

Just when they were about to reach the camp gate, a corpse was thrown out. The death was miserable. Ye Cang's face changed. She knew this person. He was Chiyo's subordinate!

Ebizo's face turned pale, while Chiyo sighed and ordered the ninjas behind him to collect the bodies. Then he said, "Please inform the Kazekage that the defeated general, Chiyo, has come to apologize."

The gatekeeper's face immediately changed and he said, "Let me go in and report." After that, he hurried in.

"Lord Kazekage, Elder Chiyo, she has arrived!" The ninja guarding the gate was a close confidant of the Third Kazekage.

The Third Kazekage raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did the elder say anything?" The Third Kazekage asked seriously, staring at the face of his confidant and frowning.

"Elder Chiyo's original words are: Please inform the Kazekage that the defeated general, Chiyo, comes to apologize!" After the guard finished speaking, the Third Kazekage waved his hand and then fell into deep thought.

The corners of his mouth gradually rose, but a look of anxiety appeared on his face, and he hurried to the camp gate.

Chapter 64 What is Politics?

Chiyo lowered his head and said nothing, maintaining an attitude of accepting your punishment. Not long after, the Third Kazekage arrived before he even arrived, but his voice was already there: "What are you doing here? You dare to stop Elder Chiyo! You are blind!"

The Third Kazekage angrily scolded the guard, but the guard remained silent, allowing the Third Kazekage to vent his anger. When the camp gate was wide open, the Third Kazekage quickly helped Chiyo up and said, "Grandma, what are you doing? I understand the course of this war. It's not your fault. It's Konoha's commander this time who is too cunning."

(Subtext: Mother-in-law, you were too stupid in this war. You caused heavy losses to our army. It was all caused by your commander's blind command!)

Chiyo shook his head and said, "Lord Kazekage, I am old and confused, and I made a huge mistake in this battle. I request to resign from the position of elder."

When Chiyo said this, both the Third Kazekage and his personal soldiers were stunned. The Third Kazekage frowned, his face full of displeasure. "Granny! What are you talking about! War is about winning and losing. Just win next time. Don't worry about it!"

"No, Lord Fengying, I know that I have committed serious sins and I no longer have the face to be an elder!" Chiyo said again.

"No, the Sand Village can do without me, the Third Kazekage, but it absolutely cannot do without you, grandma-in-law!" As he said this, the Third Kazekage looked at Chiyo with a sincere face.

In the eyes of others, this was the Third Kazekage's tolerance, but in Chiyo's eyes, it was just a show, so she said again, "Lord Kazekage, I am old and just want to live in peace with my family. Please agree!"

She even wanted to kneel down. How could the Third Kazekage let her kneel down? He would be scolded to death! But it was already the third time, so it was enough.

The Third Kazekage sighed and said, "Well, since Grandma is not interested in handling government affairs, I agree to your request. However, if Grandma has any suggestions that would benefit the Sand Village, you can still come to me directly and I will definitely consider it carefully!"

"Thank you, Lord Kazekage." Chiyo said expressionlessly, and the Third Kazekage first comforted the returning ninjas, then took Chiyo's hand and walked into the tent.

Now that his goal has been achieved, the Third Generation Fengying raised the corner of his mouth. Haha, from today on, there is only one elder from the Elders' Sect, and I can feel a lot more at ease.

Even Luo Sha is too reckless! Since Grandma Chiyo is so understanding, I have to return the favor.

Sand Hidden Village

Luo Sha sneezed. Why did he have a bad feeling? Then he looked at Jialuo and smiled, "Wife, don't be sad. I can't help it. Yashamaru actually did such a ridiculous thing for me!"

Karula's eyes were dark and unclear. She knew that her brother was a simple man and that it was all Luosha's doing. She shouldn't have married this man in the first place.

After years of getting along, she realized that this man had two sides. He was a diligent, fair and just candidate for the Wind Shadow when facing the villagers.

When facing herself and her subordinates, she was sometimes furious and sometimes crazy. When she came to her senses, she was already pregnant with Luo Sha's child. She could only pray that Luo Sha would not harm her relatives and children.

Looking at her daughter in her arms and touching her slightly bulging belly, Karula shed a tear.

Luo Sha naturally saw this scene. It was unknown whether he had a change of heart or was insane. He took Jialuo's hand and said sincerely, "Wife, believe me, I will not hurt you or the child."

"I swear, if I hurt them, I will die a miserable death!" Luo Sha swore.

Garuru nodded slightly and ignored him, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

Little did he know that the oath he made would come true in both the original plot and this novel.

(In the original work, Orochimaru killed the Fourth Kazekage. This book has not been decided yet. I will think about it.)

When Luo Sha walked out of the room, an Anbu appeared beside him.

Luo Sha frowned and was about to use the magnetic gold sand, but the other party said, "The Third Kazekage has an order. Luo Sha, kneel down and obey it!"

Luo Sha quickly retracted his chakra and knelt on the ground. Who was the Third Kazekage? He was his teacher, the one who could directly decide the next generation of Kazekage. Naturally, he could not disobey him.

"Rosa, after this battle is over, follow me to personally apologize to the former elder Chiyo. You can refuse, but you must think clearly about the consequences." After the Anbu finished speaking, he disappeared immediately.
