It has been almost a month since Danzo's death, and Konoha is very peaceful.
However, there was one thing that surprised the villagers of Konoha. The previous Konoha Daily had ceased publication and was replaced by the Hokage News.
About half a month ago, when Youshu first arrived at the office, he saw a newspaper on the table.
Tomoki took a look and found that it was basically the same as the previous Konoha Daily. The difference was that almost no newspaper mentioned the Uchiha incident, but instead praised the achievements of the Hokage.
On that day, Tomoki went directly to the outside of the Hokage Building, submitted his application, and met Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Tomoki's first words were, "Hokage-sama, something terrible has happened. Someone is trying to overthrow Konoha!"
As he spoke, he raised the Hokage newspaper in his hand.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face immediately darkened. It seems that you, Uchiha Tomoki, publish newspapers to save Konoha, and I publish newspapers to overthrow Konoha.
Without a good look on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen said bluntly, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Tomoki said solemnly, "Hokage-sama, I founded the Konoha Daily and discovered an extremely serious problem."
"I was so busy at the time that I didn't monitor the situation every day. By the time I discovered someone was randomly publishing false information in the newspaper, the newspaper had already been published and there was nothing I could do to remedy the situation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was unmoved. If the fake news could last for half a month, then you, the minister, would be busier than me, the Hokage.
Tomoki continued, "Hokage-sama, the publication of newspapers must be reviewed, otherwise some false rumors will be used by people with ulterior motives!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent. Aren't you the one with ulterior motives?
"How about this, Hokage-sama? Let each department in Konoha assign a dedicated reviewer to check whether the content is appropriate for publication in the Hokage News."
After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally started to think seriously, after the White Fang incident and the previous Danzo incident.
Sarutobi Hiruzen realized the power of public opinion, which is why he was eager to establish the Hokage News.
Although Uchiha Tomoki is hateful, he said something right: there are many things in Konoha that are not suitable for the villagers to know. After all, it is certain that there are spies from other countries among the villagers.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter at the department meeting."
After saying that, he stopped looking at Youshu, and Youshu tactfully said goodbye.
Sarutobi Hiruzen acted quickly. After all, the issue involved the safety of Konoha, so he held a meeting the next day.
As the head of the Konoha Security Department, Tomoki was naturally qualified to attend the meeting. He did not make trouble at the meeting and got an auditor position that the Security Department deserved.
The first thing Tomoki did when he returned to the security department was to call Mitsuha's husband, Uchiha Keizuki.
After a long talk.
"Qiyue, do you understand the mission?"
"Understood, Minister."
"Okay, Qiyue, the Hokage Newspaper can have no content that praises the Uchiha, but it absolutely cannot have content that denigrates the Uchiha."
Then he patted Qiyue's shoulder and said, "The Uchiha's glory is in your hands, Qiyue, don't let us down!"
"I swear to defend the honor of the Uchiha to the death!"
Uchiha Qiyue bowed very solemnly.
"Well, go ahead."
For the next half month, Youshu basically went to get off work and came to work on time, and the affairs of the security department were basically handed over to the four captains.
During the day, Youshu is either in PY or on the way to PY.
Hiashi repeatedly asks when the operation against the Sandaime will begin, but Tomoki says now is not the time.
The Third Hokage is not Danzo. Although he made many mistakes, it is obviously unrealistic to use this to bring him down.
Youshu just asked Hiashi to be patient and calculated the time. Youshu said that he would definitely find an opportunity within six years.
This is why Tomoki has no solution for the time being. He thinks that in six years, Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha will be implemented, so let's just wait and see for the time being.
Youshu's focus now is on human experiments, yes, human experiments.
At first, Tomoki disliked "Shinadubi", but after using it, he found it really fragrant.
After discovering the traces of White Zetsu on the night of the opening, Tomoki did not take immediate action.
Instead, he took Shisui to capture White Zetsu the next day, and then captured several waves of White Zetsu one after another.
There was no more after that, and Youshu felt a little regretful about it.
I should have known that I shouldn't have caught them all. I should have released one or two back, to keep it steady and sustainable, right?
When they caught nearly ten White Zetsu, Shisui finally couldn't help but become curious.
"Youshu, what are these strange creatures? You seem to take them very seriously."
"Shisui, don't underestimate them. They are the light of the Uchiha clan!"
Youshu doesn't need to worry about his eye power now, after all, his Mangekyo can be recharged.
However, Shisui and Fugaku's Mangekyō did not have enough endurance, and it would take more than ten years before the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Fugaku is fine, as he has retired early and should not need the Mangekyō, but Shisui is different.
So Tomoki started the experiment on White Zetsu, but Shisui didn't need to know about these things.
We came to a somewhat simple laboratory, where Uchiha Qingyue was constantly recording experimental data.
The Uchiha clan does not have any talent in research. After searching among the clan, only Uchiha Qingyue is barely qualified.
"How is it? Can it be separated?" Youshu asked directly.
Uchiha Qingyue stopped what he was doing and said, "Master, it's not possible for now."
"It's okay, keep working hard."
Youshu just encouraged him. If Qingyue couldn't do it, he would be even less able to do it.
In his previous life, he studied liberal arts since high school and couldn't even understand how to read instruments.
We still need scientific research talents, but it is definitely too late to train them. It seems we can only pick up the ones that are already there.
When Youshu was living a leisurely and relaxed life in Konoha.
The Kirigakure ninjas were extremely nervous.
About half a month ago, Lord Mizukage issued a war mobilization order, targeting the Land of Fire.
Immediately, many Kirigakure ninjas expressed that they did not want war.
Those who just made a few noises for no reason were fine, but those who spread the news everywhere were taken away by the Anbu.
And then no one ever saw them again.
Obito of Kirigakure was angry at Rin's death, but he never treated Kirigakure ninjas as human beings.
"Alas! Another war is about to begin. Can we win?"
"What do you think? That's Konoha, the Konoha with those two guys."
"Why do you think Mizukage-sama wants to start a war? Can the Hidden Mist Village really withstand such a turmoil?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down so the Anbu don't hear you."
"Then what do you say we should do? We can't win the fight, so isn't that just asking for death?"
"What else can I do? I'll just die. This is the fate of a ninja."
In more than half a month, the Kirigakure Ninja Army has been assembled.
Kirigakure's large-scale actions naturally did not escape the notice of spies from all sides, and soon, Konoha also received the news.
The first thing Youshu thought to himself when he received the meeting notice was, Brother Tsuchiko, is that you?
