393 Adopted by the Second Hokage!
🕑 Added 2025-11-29 06:10:01 +0000 UTCAt Renya's suggestion, Danzō led the Anbu and left the village under the cover of night.
Uchiha Kagami, who had just woken up in the Konoha Hospital, was conscripted before he could figure out the situation.
Possessing two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, even if the Land of Whirlpools faced attacks from three countries simultaneously, they would still have the strength to fight.
They weren't afraid at all.
...
Senju Tobirama, who was conducting experiments in the laboratory, was stunned.
Why did this group of brats suddenly leave the village in the middle of the night?
Could it be a conflict at the border?!
Although he didn't know exactly what happened, he knew that the few of them could handle matters well.
That brat wouldn't do anything he wasn't confident in...
...
"Renya, what exactly happened?"
Uchiha Kagami shook his dizzy head, looking confused.
Not long after waking up, Danzō had led the Anbu to drag him out.
In that instant, he recalled his actions over the years and didn't find any violation of laws or discipline!
Could it be that Danzō was interested in his eyes?
Later he discovered that wasn't the case; Danzō just seemed to want to leave the village.
But where exactly they were going was unknown.
"Land of Whirlpools," Renya explained. "My Mangekyō Sharingan can foresee the future, and I discovered that the Land of Whirlpools will be destroyed during this period."
"Destroyed?!" A look of shock appeared in Uchiha Kagami's eyes.
He wasn't surprised that Renya could foresee the future.
Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan grants two powerful eye techniques, so having the ability to foresee the future isn't strange.
Just like how he also possessed two powerful eye techniques.
"What type is your eye technique?" Renya asked, turning his head.
Up until now, he still didn't know what Kagami's Mangekyō Sharingan ability was.
Although asking abruptly is impolite, given their relationship, there was no need to hide it.
Uchiha Kagami wouldn't harm his comrades, and likewise, they wouldn't harm Kagami...
Knowing the two eye techniques in advance would allow for better coordination in battle.
Shimura Danzō and Sarutobi Hiruzen also cast curious glances.
Renya's Mangekyō could foresee the future, which was considered a very formidable ability.
They wondered what Kagami's eye ability was like?
Facing their curious gazes, Uchiha Kagami had no intention of concealing it.
"My pupil technique is related to genjutsu."
"The left eye can briefly change the target's cognition, thereby causing them to make some wrong decisions."
For example, if the victim uses ninjutsu to attack, their mind will inexplicably feel that releasing the ninjutsu will hurt themselves.
This shaking of basic logic makes them hesitate, distort their movements, or even cancel the release of the ninjutsu.
But the altered cognition cannot be too outrageous; it must be related to the current action and appear to be a "reasonable" misjudgment.
Such a pupil technique counters those ninjas who are good at calculation in battle, causing them to fall into self-doubt.
"The right eye belongs to psychological suggestion, and can be used repeatedly on the same person..."
The effect is progressive, requiring time and setup, and cannot subdue the enemy immediately.
If the opponent's will is firm, the effect produced is very poor, and one might even suffer a backlash.
For example, suggesting that being Hokage is boring for Danzō and that it's better to be an ordinary ninja.
Such a suggestion would have no effect on Danzō.
Instead, the caster would suffer a backlash.
But one can start from other aspects, such as making him feel that the Uchiha will stage a coup, causing him to subconsciously generate dissatisfaction.
The effects achieved by the two pupil techniques are similar, and the effect in combat is the same.
It's just that the left eye leans towards combat, and the right eye leans towards daily life.
"Nice ability," Renya couldn't help but praise.
Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Shisui had the same idea; both wanted to prevent the conflict between the clan and the village.
After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, what they obtained were pupil techniques that could change people's thoughts. It's just that Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is even more unreasonable.
But Uchiha Kagami's pupil technique is not weak.
Or rather, no pupil technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan is weak.
"Use the Mangekyō as little as possible; excessive use can easily lead to blindness," Renya reminded.
"Mn, I know," Uchiha Kagami's expression was serious.
He had finally awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan with great difficulty, so he couldn't just go blind like this.
He hadn't completely eliminated the conflict between the family and the village yet.
Even if he were to go blind, he had to wait until the conflict was completely resolved!
...
The group soon left the border of the Land of Fire.
The distance between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire wasn't far; traveling at full speed, they arrived in one night.
In the early morning, Renya and the others entered the territory of the Land of Whirlpools.
When the Uzumaki clansmen saw the Konoha ninjas arrive, they hurriedly went in to report.
Soon, the current patriarch of the Uzumaki clan arrived.
"Hokage-sama, may I ask what brings you here this time?"
Renya sized up the Uzumaki Patriarch in front of him; he was no longer that old man from back then, but a middle-aged man in his forties.
That old man from back then was Mito-san's uncle, and the current Uzumaki Patriarch was her nephew.
When Renya and Hashirama-san came to the Land of Whirlpools back then, they had seen him.
He didn't expect that person to be the patriarch now.
"Uzumaki Patriarch, do you mind if we stay in your precious land for a few days?"
Shimura Danzō did not explain the specific reason but brought out the excuse he had thought of beforehand.
With so many people around, if he had to speak, he had to do it in private.
"Of course, no problem."
The Uzumaki Patriarch agreed without hesitation.
The Land of Whirlpools is an ally of Konoha, and the relationship between the two countries is comparable to no ordinary nation.
One must know that his aunt, Uzumaki Mito, is still in Konoha Village right now.
There was no need to worry about Konoha harboring ill intentions.
The Uzumaki Patriarch enthusiastically invited everyone into the village and quickly arranged accommodation.
"Uzumaki Patriarch, I have some matters I want to discuss with you."
Danzō took Renya and the others to find the Uzumaki Patriarch.
"Hokage-sama, please follow me."
The Uzumaki Patriarch led the group into the patriarch's residence and invited them to sit down.
"Please speak, Hokage-sama."
The Hokage ran all the way here; how could it be just to stay for a few days?
There must be other unknown matters.
But if the Hokage didn't take the initiative to say it, he wouldn't open his mouth to ask.
"Uzumaki Patriarch, I received news that someone wants to snatch the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu and will initiate a war against the Land of Whirlpools during this time."
Danzō's words directly caused a look of shock to appear on the Uzumaki Patriarch's face.
He didn't expect the Land of Whirlpools to be targeted by other countries already.
But speaking of which, the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu is famous in the ninja world, so it is very normal to be targeted.
It was for this reason that they agreed to the Senju clan's recruitment back then.
He thought that since the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha were allies, they wouldn't be coveted by others.
As a result, such a thing still appeared.
Fortunately, the Hokage not only informed them in advance but also personally led the Anbu to come.
The Uzumaki Patriarch did not suspect the truthfulness of Danzō's words.
The Hokage couldn't possibly joke about this kind of thing.
"We will stay here during this period. Remember to tell the clansmen to strengthen their guard."
"I understand, Hokage-sama."
