Kaze raised his hand to his mouth and blew a special whistle. The nin-eagle circling in the sky quickly descended, landing steadily on Kaze's shoulder.
"Captain, it's from the clan."
Kaze untied the mini encrypted scroll tied to the nin-eagle's leg and handed it to Kazuki, then took out some specially made food for the summoned beast and fed it to the nin-eagle.
The commotion on the Uchiha side caught the attention of many people.
Kazuki unraveled the encrypted scroll and spread it open. The scroll was small and contained little information, which could be read in just a few glances.
"Cough, cough!!!"
Suddenly, Kazuki choked and bent over, coughing.
"Captain, are you okay?"
The people around immediately became tense. The most impatient, Jiro, even called out to the person sitting nearby, Shizune:
"Hey, short-haired Shizune, come help!"
"I'm not called 'hey,' and I'm not called 'short-haired Shizune' either."
Shizune retorted, annoyed by Jiro's strange way of addressing her.
"I'm fine, just choked."
Kazuki waved his hand, stood up straight, and couldn't control the smile spreading across his face.
'Has Kazuki gone crazy? He seems so happy, he actually choked on his own saliva from excitement?'
"What made you so excited?"
Curious, Shizune walked over and peeked at the scroll in Kazuki's hand. Clenching his fist, Kazuki destroyed the scroll, choosing to keep it a secret, although it wouldn't be a big deal if it were made public.
"You'll know when we get back to the village. It's a big event."
Successfully arousing everyone's curiosity, Kazuki still didn't tell them what had happened. Watching many people get anxious and fidgety, Kazuki couldn't help but laugh. Danzo really fell, and even the Third Hokage got caught up in it. This had been Kazuki's wish ever since he transmigrated, and it had finally come true.
Thinking back to the fear and anxiety when he first transmigrated, Kazuki couldn't help but laugh. Tsunade had become the Fifth Hokage candidate. As long as they handled the hardliners within the Uchiha well and didn't continue with self-destructive behavior, and then gradually brought Obito out to clear up misunderstandings, the Uchiha could finally walk in the sunlight.
Although Tsunade wouldn't deliberately target the Uchiha, the suspicion caused by the Nine-Tails' night still lingered. Only by bringing Obito out and revealing the truth could the Uchiha be exonerated. Only then would Kazuki's initial plan be considered complete.
And the next step...
Crazy, really crazy.
Kazuki didn't want to say anything, and the others didn't know what was going on.
They only saw Kazuki sometimes choke from excitement, sometimes cough, and sometimes laugh uncontrollably, almost making him a candidate for Uchiha's top four eccentrics. Everyone couldn't help but wonder if Kazuki had gone mad.
Even his clansmen looked at him worriedly.
"Captain, are you really okay? If you're not feeling well..."
"Get lost, you're the one with a problem."
'I'm perfectly fine, very fine!!!'
'The blade that had been hanging over my neck suddenly disappeared, how could I not feel good?'
Although there were still some minor troubles and aftereffects, compared to those, the blade over my neck was the most terrifying.
Danzo, just wait! I'll personally take care of you.
To give an explanation to the villagers and the Daimyo, the Third Hokage also made a significant concession.
Although it was a pity that Danzo couldn't be killed, imprisoning him under Uchiha guard wasn't a bad alternative.
Kazuki decided that once they returned to the village, he would ask Fugaku for indefinite leave. He wanted to watch over Danzo every day.
To take good care of him.
Following closely behind the Daimyo's government of the Land of Fire, those interested in buying information basically obtained it from the bounty guild and sent it back to their villages.
When the information was presented before them, many people were shocked. The reactions to this information varied across different villages. The small ninja villages didn't have much say and didn't dare provoke Konoha lightly, so they could only observe and see how the Four Great Ninja Villages would respond.
Among the Four Great Ninja Villages excluding Konoha, Sunagakure and Kirigakure had relatively calm reactions.
"As expected, it's nothing good."
After reading the scroll, Yagura casually tossed it aside.
Obviously, he didn't care much about it. Compared to Konoha, Kirigakure was the original master of darkness.
Compared to what Kirigakure had gone through, Konoha's little experiments were nothing.
Yagura wasn't in the mood to deal with it either. After the Third Ninja War, Kirigakure needed time to recover, and even if he wanted to stir up trouble, the village's strength wouldn't allow it.
At most, he could send some spies to Konoha to gather information.
In Sunagakure, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, had a similar reaction after reading the information.
"It seems we need to send someone to attend the Fifth Hokage's inauguration ceremony in Konoha."
After the Third Ninja War, Sunagakure was the weakest among the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Moreover, with the Daimyo constantly dragging his feet, the village was already poor, and Sunagakure had almost been forced to follow the rough path.
Rasa was busy mining every day to earn money, with no time or energy to worry about Konoha's affairs.
Like Yagura, even if he wanted to do something, he lacked the means.
Not to mention, after the Third Ninja War, Konoha and Sunagakure had signed an alliance treaty.
If he tried to cause trouble now, it would only bring criticism to Sunagakure.
Compared to Yagura, Rasa had a longer view.
He didn't think the Third Hokage could get through this unscathed, and he expected to soon receive news of the Third Hokage retiring and stepping down again.
As for Wood Release... Rasa was envious, but the same old problem remained: Sunagakure was too weak to do anything about it.
Trying to make a move on Wood Release would be pure fantasy, especially considering Sunagakure's lack of resources and manpower.
In contrast to the quiet Sunagakure and Kirigakure, the reactions in Kumogakure and Iwagakure were the complete opposite.
The military strength of both Kumogakure and Iwagakure was not inferior to Konoha's; in fact, it was even stronger.
Especially Kumogakure, which hadn't participated in the Third Ninja War and had developed its strength while other villages were at war, had already become the strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages on the surface.
Although Iwagakure had fought Konoha to a stalemate during the Third Ninja War, its losses were not as severe as Konoha's.
In fact, during the Third Ninja War, if the Third Raikage hadn't died in the Land of Earth, causing Kumogakure to eye Iwagakure covetously and forcing Onoki to retreat, the war between Konoha and Iwagakure might have dragged on much longer, with the outcome still uncertain.
On the surface, it seemed Konoha won, but did Konoha really win?
Aside from proclaiming their victory, they didn't gain any benefits.
Dreaming of war reparations was just that—a dream. After the war, Iwagakure completely ignored Konoha, and both the Third Hokage and Minato knew that Iwagakure would never admit to being defeated.
As a result, no one ever brought up the issue of war reparations between the two villages.
Iwagakure had always kept a close watch on Konoha and the Land of Fire, and Kumogakure even more so, practically wearing their desire to attack the Land of Fire on their sleeves.
"What do you think is the credibility of this information?"
In the Tsuchikage's office, Iwagakure's top officials had gathered, even the Daimyo of the Land of Earth was present.
