What do you mean 'on purpose'?" Uchiha In feigned ignorance.
"When we were in the Hokage Office, of course." Tsunade rolled her eyes at Uchiha In and said.
Uchiha In chuckled twice after hearing Tsunade's words.
"In, in front of others, we shouldn't be so intimate," Tsunade suddenly said out of the blue.
"Why?"
"In, you know, I don't want people to gossip."
Tsunade spoke calmly.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha In understood something.
Tsunade must be trying to protect him. The relationship between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan allowed both clans to tolerate Tsunade taking him as a disciple, because Senju Tobirama had also set such a precedent.
But if he wanted to be with Tsunade, that was definitely not enough.
Even if he and Tsunade were together, they would absolutely be subjected to gossip and criticism from others.
And Tsunade was considering these things for Uchiha In.
Uchiha In's heart also warmed.
He hadn't expected that Tsunade, who usually seemed so brash, would have such a meticulous and sensitive side to her.
"Tsunade-sensei, after this war, I'll marry you all." Uchiha In walked to the very front, turned around, and said to Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto.
"Huh? In, what did you say?" Kushina, Tsunade, and Mikoto were all caught off guard by Uchiha In's words. Their faces flushed, and they spoke with a hint of panic.
Tsunade even looked left and right, checking if anyone nearby had heard anything.
"I said, after this war, my name will definitely resound throughout the Ninja World. At that time, I'll marry you all," Uchiha In said seriously.
This was Uchiha In's promise.
The current Uchiha In was no longer the helpless Uchiha In of four years ago. Having obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan and the Sage Body, as well as numerous Sealing Technique and Ninjutsu, Uchiha In had confidence in his strength.
He would make his name resound throughout the entire Ninja World in this Ninja War, and then prevent anyone from stopping his marriage.
"I'm ignoring you now." Tsunade took Mikoto's left hand and Kushina's right hand and fled.
The three of them fled in a somewhat disheveled manner, but a strong sense of joy could be heard in their voices.
Uchiha In's eyes also held a smile.
However, to gain everyone's approval, he must eliminate Danzo.
Five days should be enough.
A sharp gleam flashed in Uchiha In's eyes.
At night, Uchiha In created a Clone, lying on his bed. Then, he put on a mask, wore Mangekyo colored contacts, changed into a black robe with red clouds, and quietly left his room.
This mask was bought by Uchiha In in Short Strip Street. Its appearance was similar to the mask Obito would wear in the future. As for the clothes, Uchiha In had them made by a clothing store in Short Strip Street to hide his identity, replicating the Akatsuki's attire from the original work.
Since he had chosen to eliminate Danzo within five days, he had to hide his identity.
And this mask and clothes were what Uchiha In needed to hide his identity.
Moreover, just thinking about assassinating Danzo while wearing the future Akatsuki Organization's clothes felt incredibly exciting.
Uchiha In quietly arrived at the location of Root.
That place was in a very secluded part of Konoha, appearing quite desolate.
However, Uchiha In, who had gained Sealing Technique + N, knew that this was merely a simple genjutsu barrier, capable of creating an illusion for people's vision, concealing the true entrance to Root.
If an ordinary person were to trespass into Root's territory, they would definitely trigger the barrier's alarm and be discovered.
However, this presented no difficulty for Uchiha In.
After activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha In discovered that he possessed the ability of Kamui.
Kamui, the unique Space Ninjutsu of Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan in the original work, allows the user to transport themselves and any object into and out of a unique dimension. Absorbing oneself takes a longer time, but by absorbing and releasing oneself, one can achieve rapid movement (absorbing oneself at point A and releasing oneself at point B allows for quick movement from A to B).
When others use Space Ninjutsu, one can also utilize the resonance of Space Ninjutsu to enter their dimension. Additionally, both eyes have different abilities.
The right eye allows for self-intangibility, meaning that at the moment of being attacked, the attacked portion is transferred into the Kamui Space. This can be used to evade attacks and pass through barriers. The drawback is a time limit; in a single-eye state, five minutes of continuous attack can break it.
The left eye allows for long-distance teleportation of an enemy's attack or the enemy themselves (or a specific body part). This can be used for offense and defense. The drawback is that it requires a certain amount of time to accumulate Chakra.
When both eyes are gathered, the Mangekyo will unleash its maximum power, and the double-eyed Kamui is virtually invincible.
And Uchiha In's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan seemed to be uniquely gifted. Uchiha In could autonomously use both of Obito's Kamui powers from the original work.
This also gave Uchiha In more confidence in his infiltration of Root to assassinate Danzo.
As long as he wanted to escape, unless the opponent set up a space-strengthening Seal, nothing could prevent Uchiha In from entering and exiting.
With a swirl, Uchiha In's body was sucked into his eye, then disappeared from this secluded area.
"Lord Danzo, Tsunade has returned. Should we still proceed with the plan?" Two Root members bowed their heads, reporting the latest news to Danzo, who was sitting nearby.
"Tsunade has returned? The plan remains unchanged. By the time Tsunade discovers it, I'm afraid the Senju Clan will have already been removed from Konoha!"
"If it weren't for the Senju Clan's influence threatening the Hokage's position, I truly wouldn't want to eliminate this group of people who have diligently dedicated themselves to Konoha."
Danzo's face bore a sinister smile: "Everything that threatens my becoming Hokage must be destroyed! Who told you to choose Hiruzen back then!"
Chapter 95: Amaterasu
Because of Danzo's momentary cowardice, he did not gain the acknowledgment of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. Instead, Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage.
And the Senju Clan also recognized Hiruzen Sarutobi's position, helping him solidify his Hokage status.
This drove Danzo to furious jealousy.
This also made Danzo view the Senju Clan as a thorn in his side.
Danzo, maddened by his desire for the Hokage position, didn't think it was his own fault. Instead, he hated everyone who helped Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Everything that had, was, or might in the future obstruct his becoming Hokage, must be destroyed.
Danzo's heart was dark. To become Hokage, he had already resorted to unscrupulous means, losing all sense of right and wrong.
And Danzo's plan was quite clever. Simply 'accidentally' leaking some strategic intelligence to spies from other Ninja Villages in Konoha, who Root already knew about, would be enough to severely harm the Senju Clan.
