The Uchiha Clan's Sun

Halfway through the conversation, Hanzo the Salamander suddenly seemed to sense something, abruptly changed the subject, and gave the order to leave.

Tianyu and Kanzang exchanged a glance, said nothing more, bowed, and left.

Chapter 75 is going to be available for purchase, and it's happening so suddenly!

I just woke up and saw a message from my editor asking if I wanted to release it today. After looking closely, I realized that my editor had asked me yesterday, but I just didn't see it.

And I agreed in a daze, so it was all so sudden!

Please make your first order!

Thank you so much for your support!

Chapter 76 Universal Harmony!

Once he was certain that Tianyu and Kanzang had gone far away, Sanshoyu Hanzang's eyes became lifeless, and his body hunched over.

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan looked toward the shadows behind Hanzo the Salamander, where Jin Uchiha's figure slowly emerged.

"Brother Jin, what happened?"

Yahiko asked.

The sudden interruption of Hanzo the Salamander's words was unprecedented and quite unusual.

Uchiha Jin's expression turned solemn. He shook his head slightly and, while forming hand seals, explained, "Someone is trying to contact me via emergency communication. It seems... it's time for me to leave!"

Although Uchiha Jin didn't know exactly what had happened, he could guess some of the general idea.

"So fast..."

"Psychic art!"

Yahiko and the other two were taken aback, but before they could say anything, Uchiha Jin summoned a ninja cat using the Summoning Jutsu.

"Meow!"

It was a very fat orange cat wearing a blue vest. Although it couldn't speak yet, its eyes shone with a human-like light.

"Meow!"

Fat Orange pulled a recording scroll from inside his vest, but instead of handing it to Uchiha Jin immediately, he extended his other chubby paw toward him.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Uchiha Jin's eyes as he reached out and took out a few silver notes, placing them on Fat Orange's paw.

The ninja cat clan is quite unique among the various summoning beasts in the ninja world.

They not only sell information and trade ninja tools, but also do all sorts of other businesses, such as delivering messages to Uchiha Jin. They are the most human-like summoning beasts!

Although the Ninja Cat Clan and the Uchiha Clan have a very good relationship, the Ninja Cat Clan always charges money for doing things for the Uchiha Clan, and there's no room for sentimentality!

"Meow!"

Fat Orange took the silver notes, counted them, and nodded with satisfaction before handing the scroll to Uchiha Jin.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Jin immediately opened the scroll and began to read.

After reading through all the contents recorded on the scroll, Uchiha Jin's expression became solemn.

"Brother Jin, what happened?"

Seeing this, Yahiko asked with some concern.

Uchiha Jin casually picked up a scroll from Hanzo's desk and began to write, explaining as he did so: "There's nothing major wrong, it's just that Konoha is preparing to rotate the ninjas on the front lines of Kirigakure back to the village for rest and recuperation, and the Uchiha clan is on the first list of those to return."

"I came out on my own this time. If I were on the front line of Kirigakure, they could cover for me, but when I returned to the village, they would have to verify my identity to prevent spies from other villages from infiltrating."

"So I need to rejoin them before the main force returns to Konoha..."

Before Uchiha Jin could finish speaking, Yahiko and the other two all showed signs of tension and unease.

In the past few days, Uchiha Jin has taught them many things and talked a lot about the future development direction of the Land of Rain.

The three of them still had many unresolved questions, and now that Uchiha Jin was leaving, they didn't know if they had the ability to carry out Uchiha Jin's plan!

Uchiha Jin noticed the three's unusual behavior, changed the subject, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. I was just providing you with some theoretical support. I may not be right either. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!"

"So just go ahead and do it!"

"Making mistakes is okay; mistakes will only bring you closer to the right path!"

"As long as you can always stay true to your original aspirations, that's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Yahiko and the other two relaxed slightly, and their tense emotions dissipated considerably.

Seeing this, Uchiha Jin patted the fat orange cat that was licking its fur and said, "Buy three more summoning slots!"

"Meow meow!"

Upon hearing this, Fat Orange's eyes lit up immediately. He then pulled out a scroll from inside his vest and extended his claws towards Uchiha Jin.

These three psychic slots represent three more opportunities to make money, and also a lot of dried fish, so how could Fatty Orange not be excited!

After paying, Uchiha Jin handed the summoning scroll to Yahiko and the other two, saying, "You should all sign a summoning contract with Fatty Orange as well. In the future, we can contact each other through Fatty Orange if we have any questions."

"But you have to be prepared to pay before each contact, Fat Orange's fees aren't cheap!"

"Meow meow!"

Upon hearing this, Fatty Orange bared his teeth at Uchiha Jin with some dissatisfaction, and at the same time took out a scroll and handed it to Yahiko and the other two.

This is a price list that clearly states how much you charge for each service. If you don't have money, you can use dried fish instead.

Its chubby oranges have clearly marked prices, and the price couldn't be fairer!

Seeing this, Yahiko and the other two smiled and signed their names on Fat Orange's summoning scroll one by one.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a mercenary spirit beast.

Moreover, while the Land of Rain may not have much money, it certainly has no shortage of all kinds of fish.

So they can still afford a fat orange cat.

After Yahiko and the other two completed the summoning contract, Uchiha Jin handed over the scroll he had written to Fatty Orange and paid another fee before releasing the summoning.

Uchiha Jin looked at Yahiko and the other two and said, "Although things happened somewhat suddenly, fortunately the situation in the Land of Rain has basically stabilized."

"For the next period of time, Obito will take over from me and continue to control Hanzo of the Salamander, allowing him to gradually transfer the power in his hands to you!"

"Although the Land of Rain is a small country, small countries have their advantages. Hanzo of the Salamander is the supreme leader of the Land of Rain and Amegakure. There are no nobles in the country or the village... This will allow you to be free from many constraints!"

"However, relying on others can inevitably lead to unforeseen circumstances, so your most important task is to first establish a firm foothold in Amegakure. Only then can you act with complete freedom!"

"So you don't need to rush those development plans for the Land of Rain. You can take your time."

"Also, the Third Hokage in Konoha will be stepping down soon, and it's almost certain that the Fourth Hokage will be your senior, Minato!"

"Things will be much easier once Minato and I have completely taken control of Konoha. Given your relationship, we can then openly and legitimately do many things for you!"

Yahiko nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, Brother Jin! We will not let you down!"

Uchiha Jin shook his head slightly and said, "No need to thank me. I'm not only helping you, but also helping myself! In my eyes, the Land of Rain and Konoha are no different!"

Don't forget what our goal is!

Upon hearing this, Nagato's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "May the world be united as one family!"

“That’s right!” Uchiha Jin laughed, “As long as we keep working hard, a world of great harmony will come sooner or later!”

"The Land of Rain is now in your hands!"

Chapter 77 Returning to the Village!

A few days later, at the entrance of Konoha Village.

A ninja force of several hundred people appeared at the gate of Konoha Village under the rising sun and began to process their entry into the village.

Most of these hundreds of ninjas wore the Uchiha clan crest and were Uchiha clan ninjas, while the rest were commoner ninjas.

The appearance of this ninja unit quickly attracted the attention of some Konoha villagers, many of whom showed surprise and began to discuss it.

"Huh, are any frontline ninjas returning today? Why didn't I get a notification that they'd be lining the streets to welcome them?"

"I don't think I received any notification either. What's going on?"

"Oh! I think I remember now. A few days ago, the Hokage Building issued a notice saying that the ninjas on the front lines of Kirigakure would be returning to the village in batches to relieve the ninjas. Because there were too many batches, lining the streets to welcome them every time would disrupt the villagers' normal lives. So the welcoming ceremony was postponed until everyone returned, and we would celebrate together!"

"So that's how it is! The Hokage even considered this for us, how thoughtful!"

"So these are the first batch of ninjas relieved from the front lines? They all look like members of the Uchiha clan?"

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that the Uchiha clan ninjas played a significant role on the battlefield in Kirigakure, contributing the most strength. They even defeated the Mizukage of Kirigakure. It's normal that they were among the first to be rotated out!"

"Hiss~~, even the Mizukage was defeated? The Uchiha clan may be arrogant, but they are indeed very strong!"

"Of course! The Uchiha clan is a powerful clan in Konoha!"

......

The villagers were constantly talking, and there were many 'praises' about the Uchiha clan. This greatly reduced the Uchiha's dissatisfaction with not receiving the treatment they deserved, and they showed proud smiles.

The tense expression on the leader of the group, Fugaku Uchiha, eased considerably, and a hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes.

"Don't get too excited yet, I have a feeling something's not right!"

Uchiha Jin stood beside Uchiha Fugaku, his expression unchanged, and gave a low reminder.

strange!

How weird!

The Konoha leadership ordered the ninjas on the front lines of the Hidden Mist Village to return to Konoha in batches, thus canceling the proper welcoming ceremony. This was clearly an attempt to suppress the prestige of the various ninja clans.

But now this sudden turn of events seems rather contradictory!

That's right, the praise being given by the villagers watching the spectacle is clearly being deliberately manipulated!

Uchiha Jin quickly spotted several shills in the crowd!

For a moment, Uchiha Jin couldn't figure out what those old guys in Konoha's upper echelons were trying to do!

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly and lowered his voice as well, saying, "Jin, aren't you being too sensitive? This might be compensation for my Uchiha clan!"

"Compensation?" A thought flashed through Uchiha Jin's mind, and his expression turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "I think it's more like flattery to kill!"

"Praise to death? What does that mean?"

Fugaku Uchiha was taken aback, and was very puzzled.

Uchiha Jin sneered, "Listen carefully to the villagers' discussions. Did they mention anyone other than my Uchiha clan?"

"If this continues, it'll be all credit for defeating Kirigakure! What will the other ninja clans think then?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha's expression changed, and he finally realized the seriousness of the matter!

Although the Uchiha clan did indeed make great contributions on the front lines of Kirigakure, the contributions of other ninjas were also significant!

If the Uchiha clan becomes famous and takes all the credit while others don't receive the treatment they deserve, it's easy to imagine what the other ninjas on the front lines in Kirigakure will think!

Moreover, Uchiha clan ninjas are not good at speaking, and they might become complacent because of this, attracting the hatred of their colleagues to themselves!

This move by the Konoha leadership has put the Uchiha clan in a very difficult position!

After a moment of contemplation, Uchiha Jin continued, "This matter is probably not over yet. When you go to report for duty later, remember to be careful. No matter what the Third Hokage and the others say to you, don't rush to agree. Let me find out the situation first!"

Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath and nodded slightly, saying, "I understand!"

Fugaku Uchiha felt somewhat distressed.

Although he was nearly ten years older than Uchiha Jin, he was like a child in these aspects compared to Uchiha Jin!

If it weren't for Uchiha Jin reminding him, he probably would still be basking in the 'beautiful sight' of the Uchiha clan's improved reputation!

This feeling is absolutely awful!

Perhaps he really should make concessions!

Uchiha Jin ignored Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts; all he wanted to do now was find his 'secret contacts' and learn about the village's recent situation!

A few days ago, after receiving a message, Uchiha Jin made some arrangements for the affairs of the Land of Rain, and then set off to leave the Land of Rain.

After rushing around, Uchiha Jin finally rejoined the main force in the early hours of yesterday morning, blending into the team without anyone noticing as if he had never left!
