Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 87 The Summoning Technique: Danzo Escapes, Fugaku's Relief!

"Summoning Jutsu, Baku, come forth!" Taking advantage of the moment when the Cloud Village members were still stunned by the bizarre effects of Izanagi, Danzo formed hand seals and slammed them into the ground!

boom!

A large cloud of white smoke instantly engulfed his body, and accompanied by a strong spatial fluctuation, a massive, mountain-sized, long-nosed, tusked beast resembling a combination of an elephant and a tapir—the Dream Tapir—suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield!

"Is this his summoning beast?" The Fourth Raikage and the others couldn't help but shrink their pupils and slow their pace when they saw the giant Baku that appeared.

"roar!"

As soon as the Dream Eater appeared, it let out a deafening roar, then opened its huge mouth, which was big enough to swallow rocks, and a terrifying suction force instantly erupted!

The wind howled, sand and stones flew, and countless fragments of stone and broken wood were swept up as if grabbed by an invisible giant hand and thrown into the bottomless maw.

Even more terrifying, this suction force seemed to be able to strip away chakra. Even the lightning-attribute chakra armor covering the bodies of the surrounding Cloud Village ninjas began to fluctuate violently, with strands of blue lightning being forcibly pulled away and converging towards the mouth of the Dream Eater!

"Hold on! Don't get sucked in!" The Fourth Raikage roared at his subordinates as soon as he saw this.

His body crackled with lightning, and his feet were planted firmly in the ground as if nails, using his powerful physique and chakra to resist the suction force.

Other elite Cloud Village members also used various methods, such as finding cover or using Earth Release ninjutsu to fix their positions, and the scene fell into chaos for a time.

Raikage himself quickly regained his footing. His eyes widened in anger as he stared intently at the enormous Baku and the faintly visible Danzo behind it. He wanted to give chase, but was temporarily blocked by the sudden appearance of the summoning beast and its powerful interference.

"Let's retreat!" Danzo took the opportunity to lead the few remaining Root subordinates and sped away into the depths of the dense forest without looking back. Using the chaos and delay created by the Baku, they quickly escaped the battlefield and disappeared into the vast night.

"Uchiha...Kamizuki!"

"I'm not finished with you!"

His one eye was sinister, and he was deeply pained. This operation had not only resulted in heavy losses, with most of his elite troops wiped out, but he had also been forced to use up a precious Sharingan to activate Izanagi. It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead. His hatred for Uchiha Shingetsu had reached its peak.

"Chase them! Don't let them get away! I will make Konoha pay the price!" The Fourth Raikage had no intention of letting Danzo go and immediately roared repeatedly, ordering his subordinates to give chase.

……

the other side.

Konoha

this time.

Without Danzo's interference, Shingetsu is also working hard to improve the Uchiha clan's combat strength.

He deeply understands the importance of strength; whether it is dealing with future crises or achieving his own goals, a powerful family is the cornerstone.

Every day on the training ground, the people of the tribe train hard.

Shouts of battle, the explosions of ninjutsu, and the clash of weapons filled the air. Shen Yue not only personally provided guidance but also generously shared the techniques he had gleaned through in-game purchases and combat experience.

Whether it's the use of the Sharingan, the execution of ninjutsu and taijutsu, or the combat simulations, everyone's strength is visibly improving.

Many fire-style ninjutsu that people had not mastered or had not mastered well before were popularized and skillfully used on a large scale under the guidance of Shingetsu and with ample supplies.

The cultivation atmosphere within the clan is at an all-time high.

"Excellent, very good!"

Standing at the edge of the training ground, Fugaku watched his clansmen working enthusiastically and steadily improving their strength every day, and a rare smile of satisfaction appeared on his usually serious face.

He could sense that the spirit and fighting spirit of his people were completely different from before.

He believes that Shingetsu has done a very good job during this period.

"These past few days, that child, Shingetsu, has truly and completely changed the Uchiha clan!"

"Internally, we united the Uchiha clan, raised funds through the plan to make the Uchiha great again, improved the clan's livelihood, organized systematic training, and greatly enhanced the clan's cohesion and fighting power."

"Externally, they successfully won over the Hyuga clan and skillfully maneuvered during the Kumogakure envoy incident, protecting the Hyuga while also undermining Danzo's prestige, thus winning a rare ally and breathing space for the Uchiha."

Fugaku murmured to himself, feeling very gratified for Shingetsu.

He looked at Shenyue, who was correcting a young clansman's hand seal in the arena, his eyes filled with admiration and expectation.

This ten-year-old boy has already demonstrated wisdom, strength, and leadership far beyond his age, pulling his family back from the brink of crisis time and time again, and even leading the family toward a brighter future.

During a training break, Fugaku walked over to Shingetsu, patted him on the shoulder, and gestured for him to come aside and talk.

The two walked to the shade of a tree at the edge of the training field.

Looking into Shingetsu's eyes, which were still clear but held a sharp edge, Fugaku pondered for a moment before speaking slowly and solemnly: "Shingetsu, I have seen everything you have done for the family. Your abilities, courage, and determination to fight for the family's interests far surpass those of your peers, and even many adults."

"Clan leader, what do you mean by that?" Shen Yue suddenly felt uneasy after hearing Fugaku's praise.

Why does this statement imply entrusting one's orphan to another?

Upon hearing Kamizuki's question, Fugaku paused, looking directly at Kamizuki: "I want to ask you, have you ever considered becoming the next head of the Uchiha clan?"

"Me, the clan leader?" Shen Yue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and almost burst out laughing.

"Chief, how old do you think I am?"

"And I haven't even awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yet!"

"The Mangekyou Sharingan, I hope you never awaken it!" Upon hearing Kamizuki mention the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Fugaku's eyes held a complex expression.

These eyes can only be opened by killing one's closest loved one.

It can be said that it is a true manifestation of the power of the Uchiha clan.

"That won't do, I must awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!" Shingetsu naturally knew the price to pay for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But compared to that, power was what he cared about even more.

After all, the crisis of annihilation has not yet been resolved.

He doesn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He would then be unable to truly become a Kage-level powerhouse.

Currently, Shingetsu's individual combat strength is roughly equivalent to above elite Jonin, but not quite at Kage level.

If you encounter a truly top-tier expert, you won't be able to influence the course of the battle.

"Clan leader, it's too early to talk about this now. The future of the Uchiha clan cannot be decided by a single clan leader. What we need is overall strength, so that Konoha can no longer ignore our voice and power."

"Indeed, our clan has been dormant for far too long!"

"It's time to let them hear the voice of our people!" Fugaku's long-dormant passion was stirred up by Shingetsu's words.

Just then.

Whoosh!

A dark figure descended from the sky and landed on the two of them.

That was Uchiha Itachi, dressed in Anbu uniform and wearing a mask.

"Father!"

"The Third Hokage summons you, saying something major has occurred!"
