Chapter 31: Wooing

Because he slept early, Higashino Yu woke up early, and at five o'clock the next day, before dawn, he woke up naturally, and he couldn't sleep again.

Originally, Higashino Yu hadn't decided when to go out of the village to collect materials, but now that he can't sleep, he should just act immediately.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Higashino Yu used the air around him to transform into a clone, and then used some techniques of the [Illusion] skill to establish some kind of connection between him and this clone, so that he could control this clone remotely.

The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of doppelganger technique are obvious compared to the ninja's doppelganger technique.,The advantage is that Higashino Yu can control this doppelganger at any time.,You can know what's going on on the side of the doppelganger at any time.,And the disadvantage is that it doesn't have the ability to act autonomously.,It must be controlled by Higashino Yu at all times to move.。

However, now Higashino Yu's mental power is already very strong, and there is not much burden on him to use two things.

After all this, Higashino Yu turned on his perception with all his strength and extended out of the village.

The farthest place he could reach was a forest outside the village, where Higashino Yu felt no trace of humanity except for a few wild beasts.

So he directly launched the [Instantaneous Body Technique] to teleport over, and the moment he landed, his appearance also began to change, and he became a little uglier on the original basis, but he was still handsome.

Then there is the height, which Higashino Yu has turned up a bit, and finally the costume, Higashino Yu has turned the original clothes into a loose dark samurai suit.

It was better to wear a samurai suit with a katana, so Higashino Yu ripped off the pendant hanging around his neck, lifted the change and returned to its original appearance.

At the end of the change, a handsome wandering warrior with a bit of unruliness stood lazily in the woods.

Looking at the sky, the sky was already slightly bright, and Higashino Yu didn't stay any longer and walked in the opposite direction to Konoha.

Not long after, the sun rose, and Higashino Yu estimated a little based on the direction in which the sun was rising, and he should be heading west now.

To the west of Konoha, bordering the land of fire, there are the country of rivers, the country of rain, the country of grass, and a little further past is the country of wind, the village of sand ninja.

Higashino didn't know where to go, but according to his idea, it was best to find a place with people first, see if there were any commissions to take, and if not, consider finding an underground gold exchange.

There are not many descriptions of the underground gold exchange house in the original book, but it feels very powerful, and it is worth a trip with Higashino Yu's current identity.

But everything is still going to be taken one step at a time, and who knows what will happen in between?

Higashino Yu walked leisurely towards the west, without opening his senses.

…………………………

On the other side, the Uchiha station, after thinking about it for three whole days, finally started to act today.

Following Higashino Yu's suggestion, Shisui is ready to overthrow the original patriarch and become the new patriarch himself, and then unify all the voices within the Uchiha.

He wasn't greedy for power, but he had to do it in order to save the Uchiha.

So how to overthrow the original patriarch? This is one of the things that Zhishui has been thinking about these days.

Force is very important, but it can't be all by force, he has to co-opt everything that can be co-opted, and then use force to suppress those who can't.

So all day today, he was visiting the elders who were usually close to him.

The process was a bit tortuous, and almost everyone showed a surprised expression when they heard him say that he was going to overthrow the patriarch and take the throne himself.

But as he patiently explained, explained the pros and cons, and expressed his ideas, he finally moved several elders to support him.

The remaining few did not explicitly say that they would support him, but they also did not say that they would oppose him.

Overall, the results are relatively good.

But these are the clansmen who are closer to him, and the ones behind are the bones that are difficult to gnaw.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the water stopped ending today's trip and preparing to go home.

On the way home, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, paused for a moment, and then quickly struck into the distance.

Zhishui took a deep breath and chose to follow.

Itachi has something to do with him.

Came to the familiar forest, looked at the familiar figure, and said to stop the water:

"Itachi, is there something wrong with me?"

"Zhishui, I heard that you are constantly visiting other clansmen today?"

Zhishui was silent for a moment.

"Yes."

"What do you want to do?" Itachi's tone was a little cold, as if he usually faced everyone else.

"I want to ...... Overthrow the current patriarch and become the patriarch himself. After hesitating for a moment, Zhishui chose to tell the truth.

"Why?" Itachi was a little surprised.

"Would you believe me if I said I found a way to save the Uchiha?"

Itachi frowned and asked, "What method?" ”

"First of all, I'm going to have a unified voice in the Uchiha, which I'm doing now, and then I'm going to renovate the guard department and bring in civilian ninjas and ninjas from other families."

"Why?"

"I told you before that some people in the village are targeting us Uchiha, I must find a way to break the situation, only by letting the guard department add more ninjas other than the Uchiha clan, can the distance between the Uchiha and the village be narrowed, and there will be a future at all."

Itachi didn't seem to hear the second half of the stop, only the first half.

"Stop the water, do you still think the village is targeting us Uchiha?"

"I don't want to think so, but the facts are there." Zhishui also frowned.

"From the village's point of view, our Uchiha is indeed an unstable factor, is this wrong?" Itachi said.

"Itachi." Shisui spoke in a serious tone, "Even if the Uchiha is an unstable factor, should the village give up on us?" Should we be abandoned completely? As companions, shouldn't you think about accepting us Uchiha, shouldn't you pull us back? ”

Itachi didn't answer, just asked the same question as last time.

"If the conflict between the village and the Uchiha is really irreconcilable, which side are you on?"

Unlike last time, this time Shisui replied, "I never thought of betraying the village, I will only clear the obstacles that prevent our Uchiha from integrating into Konoha Road. ”

Zhishui has never been a soft-hearted person, he just didn't see some things clearly before, and went in a direction where it was impossible to have results, but now, he saw it clearly!

"I see." Itachi's voice became a little cold again, "Zhishui, I will keep an eye on you, and I will tell the three generations the truth about what you have done." ”

"I didn't think to hide it......" Zhishui was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Itachi, don't you still believe me?" ”

“…… Zhishui, your current strength, thoughts, make me feel that you are a completely different person, and I really can't believe that you won't do anything harmful to Konoha. ”

After saying that, Itachi turned around and was about to leave, and Zhishui wanted to say something more, but Itachi's back had disappeared from his sight.
