Chapter 90
Temi Koto?
Chapter 90 Senju Mikoto?
The convoy traveled through the forest, sunlight filtering through the leaves, and ninjas occasionally appeared in the surroundings, scouting the area.
This is the caravan heading to the Tsuchigumo clan; it's the first group of personnel and supplies being transported to Mount Katsuragi.
After discussions between the Senju and Uchiha clans, it was decided that the Uchiha clan would take the lead in this transport operation, as the power of the Ninja Cat clan was needed.
The personnel guarding the convoy at this moment were transferred from the Konoha Police Force.
After all, there's not much to protect in Konoha. They can only fight with the troublemakers of Konoha every day, and that's about it.
"I'm getting old!" Uchiha Jin sat on top of a carriage, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight.
Walking in the glaring sunlight made him quite uncomfortable.
I never imagined I'd see the Senju and Uchiha teams up one day.
When was the last time we teamed up?
It seems to be around the time when Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were deeply in love.
Just like back then, all the clan leaders remained silent at the clan meeting, like quails.
But today, the two have become one person, and that person is a child. It's truly heartbreaking.
"Fugaku, come here!" He waved to the back of the convoy.
Minister Fugaku bowed meticulously.
He smiled and waved his hand.
"Relax, Fugaku."
He watched this child grow up; he's very talented, but he's also very thoughtful and prone to getting stuck in dead ends.
He is a promising candidate to be an executor.
He had been worried and wanted to train some more, but now he doesn't need to anymore.
With Senju Yosho around, Fugaku only needed to do his job.
"Do you know Mount Katsuragi?" he asked.
Fugaku Uchiha looked up in confusion: "I know, our destination is the Tsuchigumo clan's territory."
Uchiha Jin threw something out—a dark stick covered in a patina.
"That's right, but from now on, that will be my retirement home."
Fugaku hurriedly took the baton, then, as if realizing something, looked at Uchiha Jin.
"Senior Shen, you..."
Shen nodded: "Child, the security forces are now in your hands."
"Remember our team motto!"
"Enforcement is humane, baton strikes are forceful, kicks are precise, arm raises are high, punches are angled, and every strike carries attitude."
"If you see troublemakers, fight them instead of talking. Don't bring shame to the Uchiha clan, understand?"
Fugaku stood at attention and saluted the old captain.
"yes!"
A police officer's baton is his most precious possession.
At this moment, the staff of power, symbolizing the Konoha Police Force, had already been passed into his hands.
It's important to know that within the Uchiha clan, besides the clan head, the head of the security forces is already the highest-ranking position.
I never expected this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.
Fugaku Uchiha stroked the stick with satisfaction, letting it quickly become familiar with the curve of his palm.
He had a thought before.
A man cannot be without power for a day. When he finally has power in his hands, he mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Meiqin and propose marriage to her family.
Several Uchiha clansmen passed by, whispering among themselves.
"Have you heard?!"
"What did you hear?"
A boy about the same age as Fugaku proudly pulled several of his companions aside into the shadows.
"The clan is discussing a major alliance with the Senju and Tsuchigumo clans!"
"Everyone knows that. If you ask me, why should the Uchiha clan join forces with other clans? We are invincible!"
"Heh, but you probably don't know this, we're discussing a marriage alliance!"
"A marriage alliance?! You're not kidding, are you?!"
The little ones exclaimed in surprise.
It should be noted that the Uchiha clan had never before formed a marriage alliance with a major clan.
The problem lies in the bloodline limit.
All members of the Uchiha bloodline have the potential to awaken the Sharingan.
If it's just a commoner or a small family, even if a woman marries into the Uchiha clan, if her offspring awaken the Sharingan, they will still have to return to the Uchiha clan.
However, if they marry into another powerful clan, it's hard to say; they might just end up giving someone else their Sharingan bloodline.
Not to mention powerful clans like the Senju and Tsuchigumo, they would never get it back.
"That's impossible, the elders won't agree."
"How could that be impossible? My mother's sister's brother-in-law's cousin told me that the clan elders are already discussing the details!"
"Wow, does this mean we can find a wife from the Earth Spider clan?"
"Then I need to find a Thousand Hands!"
pat!
The baton, barely warmed in his hand, involuntarily fell to the ground, and Fugaku stood there, stunned.
A marriage alliance?
How is that possible!
How could those old fogies pass such a resolution!
For the Uchiha bloodline, for the glory of the Uchiha.
How could you possibly marry into the Senju clan!
The image of Mikoto and Yang Xiang together involuntarily flashed through his mind.
Do not!
Is she really going to turn into Senju Mikoto?!
I don't know!
I've just become the Minister of the Security Forces!
The three tomoe in his eyes began to spin, and a trickle of blood slid down from the corner of his eye.
I want to create a world without Yang Xiang, I want a world with only Mikoto!
"You're feeling terrible, aren't you?"
A strange voice suddenly rang in my ears, light and airy, as if it came from underground, or as if it echoed in my mind.
Fugaku suddenly opened his eyes, his Sharingan instantly activating to its maximum, and he warily scanned his surroundings, but could not see anyone.
"Don't bother looking, you can't see me." The voice rang out again, tinged with mockery. "I know what you're thinking; you certainly don't want to be a useless man, do you?"
Fugaku gripped his sword tightly, his voice icy: "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that I can help you." The voice remained eerie. "You don't want Mikoto to be forced into an arranged marriage, and I can help you do that."
Fugaku's heart skipped a beat, but he remained wary: "What are your conditions? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"It's simple, come with me to see someone."
The voice paused, then slowly said, "Whether it's power, wealth, or women, you can get everything you want, just come with me to see someone."
Fugaku Uchiha was on high alert.
He had tried his best, but he still couldn't find the enemy's location.
He had never seen such a bizarre ninjutsu even in the clan's records.
"Okay! But I can't leave here."
"Don't worry, I'll take you there." The voice was tinged with laughter. "Once the convoy has finished resting, find an excuse to leave the group. I'll wait for you in the woods ahead. It'll only take a short while."
The sound disappeared, and the surroundings returned to calm, as if the conversation had just been an illusion.
Fugaku stood there, his palms sweating profusely.
When the convoy stopped to rest, he looked around and found an empty space where no one was around, but before he could say anything...
Suddenly, a white fleshy growth appeared on his body, enveloping his entire body.
"Don't be nervous, don't resist!"
