Suppressing the excitement and shock in his heart, Eagle's group opened a tree-lined trail connecting the lake and the road in the forest, and then hired three convoys, taking a full three days to finally transport all the wooden boxes at the bottom of the lake back to Konoha.
Of course, such a large number of explosive tags couldn't be stored together. After all, in the event one of them suddenly exploded, the consequences will be disastrous!
Therefore, as soon as the tens of thousands of wooden boxes arrived in Konoha, they were scattered and stored in different places. One-tenth was transported to the interior of the Anbu's Headquarters for internal use, and one-tenth was sent to Shikaku to be distributed for the Jonin, one-tenth was sent to the mission hall and directly issued as welfare to the Chunin and Genin, and the remaining seven-tenths were quietly placed in a remote cave and stored as strategic materials.
Although transporting these tens of thousands of wooden boxes attracted the attention of many villagers, because the wooden boxes were not opened and the process only lasted three days, it did not attract widespread attention.
Instead, it's Konoha's higher-ups who had many arguments and meetings about this matter. One of the advisors criticized the Jonin for having too many Explosive Tags, and then another advisor said that putting so many Explosive Tags in the mission hall is too dangerous. Fugaku, the economic supervisor, suggested that a portion of the Explosive Tags should be sold to subsidize the finances. And along the way, he brazenly proposed to give the Military Police Force 'a small amount' of a billion Explosive Tags, even though half of the current Military Police today does not belong to the Uchiha Clan.
Even Hiruzen, the oldest Advisor, also gave a suggestion, saying that one billion Explosive Tags should be distributed to Great Shinobi Clan, preferably according to their contribution, so that Sarutobi Clan could get hundreds of millions of Explosive Tags!
Everyone was making their own selfish calculations, but it's a pity that Minato didn't respond to any of them. He just distributed them according to the previous distribution method. If each Great Shinobi Clan wants some Explosive Tags, they can just ask their Jonin to go to the Jonin Commander, and their Chunin and Genin to go to the mission hall. The same is true for the Shinobi in the Military Police Force.
As for assigning them separately and so on, such thing doesn't exist.
After more than a week of quarreling, this matter finally settled down.
This evening.
Kanpū, who is hiding deeply in merit and fame, returned home from working in Anbu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the Anbu's Headquarters, he was stopped by someone.
"Shisui?" Kanpū looked at this friend, who should have been working in the Military Police Force with surprise, then suddenly turned around and saw Itachi standing behind him.
'Aiya, are you going to… play mixed doubles with me?'
"Kanpū, we need to talk to you about something." Shisui said solemnly.
"Can't you find someone else?" Kanpū asked cautiously.
The fact that the Uchiha Clan's twin bad luck stars can be allowed to go out at the same time, Kanpū has a foreboding that this matter must not be simple!
'I can only push it away as much as possible.'
"Kanpū, only you can do this." Shisui said seriously, "Please!"
'Only I can do it… Are your clan looking to hire a driver??'
But it turns out that Kanpū was just thinking too much. These two didn't come to hire a driver. They… are here to ask for help about their little brother.
On the street, Kanpū had a strange expression after hearing Shisui's needs. He then said, "You want me to enlighten Sasuke?"
Shisui and Itachi nodded at the same time.
"Kanpū, among the people I know, only you are the best at this kind of work!" Shisui said.
Kanpū looked at his expression and feels that it did not look like a lie, so he was dumbfounded.
'What gave you that impression?'
'Enlighten?'
'I am obviously the best at navigating, okay?'
'Or should we talk about the salary and benefits of the driver?'
Itachi felt a little anxious when seeing Kanpū not speaking, and said emotionally: "Captain, please!"
'This is not a matter of whether please or not please.'
'With your younger brother's appearance, he wouldn't be able to survive in the Shinobi World if he didn't pretend to be cool.'
"Shisui, Itachi, actually, I've heard a little about Sasuke from Naruto before."
Kanpū slowly organized his words and said, "He, well, is a bit arrogant, likes to pretend to be a big shot, likes to be alone. Frankly, there's nothing wrong with him, you can just hang him upside down and hit him, completely naked, in a crowded place, like a square, a park, or the Academy, so that he would lose face. At that time, he won't be so arrogant anymore."
Itachi's face twitched, and he forced a smile: "Captain… Please stop joking around."
'It was you who started joking with me first…' Kanpū sighed, and said softly: "Once a person's character is formed, it is difficult to change, unless he encounters a huge change."
"Huge change? Kanpū, can you give me an example?" Shisui asked humbly.
"For example… the Uchiha Clan being wiped out? His dearest big brother killed his parents in front of him?" Kanpū closed his eyes and talked nonsense as he walked.
Then, he found that Shisui and Itachi hadn't followed. He turned his head strangely and saw that Shisui and Itachi were looking deeply into each other's eyes.
"Will this really change Sasuke?" Itachi hesitated a bit.
"I believe in Kanpū." Shisui said, "Let's give it a try."
"I'm worried that Sasuke won't be able to accept it." Itachi said.
Shisui said: "Don't worry, I'll control it. If Sasuke really cannot accept it, I'll terminate the Genjutsu in time."
'Hey, are you serious?'
'I was cracking a joke just now~'
Kanpū didn't have time to reach out when the two bad luck stars had already disappeared before his eyes.
'Forget it.'
'Forget it, let's just leave the village for a while.'
Kanpū left a shadow clone, and quickly ran away to the Land of Iron to escape the heat.
…
Uchiha Clan's settlement.
Sasuke came back from the Academy with a faintly discernible smile on his face.
After the quarrel with his big brother last time, he didn't talk to his big brother for several days. In the end, his big brother apologized, but the proud Sasuke decided to ignore him and let him know that this younger brother was not so easy to bully!
'Let's see if you dare to bully me in the future!'
Sasuke couldn't help but float up as he walked, and started hopping happily towards home.
But as he hopped around, Sasuke found that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the street.
Although this place was remote, the Uchiha Clan has a large population. There should be a lot of clansmen on the street at this time, so why doesn't he see anyone?
And there seemed to be a hint of rust in the air.
A sense of uneasiness surged in Sasuke's heart, and he hurriedly ran home.
Turning a corner, Sasuke saw a scene of hell on earth!
The clan members lay sprawled on the ground, blood flowed horizontally, forming a pool that shimmered brilliantly in the sunset, making Sasuke unable to open his eyes!
"Everyone…"
Sasuke's heart suddenly accelerated, thumping as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
"Big brother, Dad, Mom…"
Sasuke ran towards his house like crazy.
In front of the house, he saw the body of his big brother Shisui.
Shisui was slumped at the door, his chest pierced by a kunai, with the handle buried deep inside.
"Big brother Shisui…"
Sasuke began to tremble all over.
This person in front of him was the strongest Genjutsu User of the clan, Shisui of the Body Flicker, who is famous in the Shinobi World!
'Who, who can kill him?!'
'Impossible, it's impossible for anyone to kill Big brother Shisui!'
'Fake, all this is fake!'
'It must be a Genjutsu!'
'Don't even think about deceiving me!'
Sasuke suddenly opened his 2-Tomoe Sharingan. Under his Sharingan's vision, he clearly saw the condensed blood on Shisui's chest. It was hideous and bloody, which made him nauseous!
'How… is this possible?'
Sasuke trembled, then he suddenly looked up at his own house, pushed the door gently like a thief, then stepped into the living room.
"You're back." A cold, familiar voice came from the living room.
Sasuke took two quick steps and saw his father and mother kneeling on the ground with their hands tied on the back, while his Big brother Itachi was holding a sword dripping with blood and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Big brother… what... what are you doing…" Sasuke trembled all over, "Dad, Mom."
"Sasuke, run!!" Mikoto shouted, and was stabbed in the back by Itachi in the next moment.
"Mikoto!!!" Beside him, Fugaku roared, and then glared at Sasuke with eyes full of anger, and said in a low voice, "Sasuke, it's all because of you. If it's not because you irritated Itachi, how could he started exterminating the clan, it's all because of you. It's all your fault!!"
Pfft~
"You're so noisy." Itachi cleanly killed the roaring Fugaku, "I can't allow you to say such things to my beloved little brother, right, Sasuke."
"Big, big brother…what are you doing? You, no, me…Dad, Mom…don't die, don't… Big brother…" Sasuke said incoherently, and at this moment, his heart was completely covered in fear. He involuntarily staggered backwards.
...
"Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke, what are you doing standing here?"
At the entrance of Uchiha Clan's settlement, several passing Uchiha clansmen looked at the three of them strangely.
"It's nothing, Sasuke seems to be absent-minded." Itachi said without looking back.
"Absent-minded?" The clansmen looked strangely at Sasuke, who was standing there with a painful, fierce, and even showing his 2-Tomoe Sharingan, then said with a smile, "Sasuke looks to be in pain, but for him to be able to train his Sharingan to two-tomoe at this age, as expected of the Clan Head's son!"
There are a lot of clansmen passing by, but with Shisui and Itachi present, Sasuke's abnormality did not attract much attention, after all, Shisui and Itachi are Uchiha Clan's strongest Shinobi!
"Big brother Shisui, it's almost time, right?" Itachi looked at Shisui, who narrowed his eyes, worried that his little brother would have a mental breakdown.
Shisui is now constructing a terrifying Genjutsu World with his Mangekyo Sharingan, and Sasuke is suffering the pain he shouldn't bear at his age in this world.
Shisui carefully sensed Sasuke's mental state, and after confirming that there was no one around, he whispered: "Prepare to withdraw."
"Yes."
In the next instant, the Mangekyo's Genjutsu stopped, and Shisui and Itachi also disappeared in an instant.
