Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 165: Is the investigation over?

After further discussion, another small family chose to participate in the investigation and volunteered to join the investigation team.

This family keeps dogs, with each member owning a ninja dog to fight alongside the ninjas. While they are powerful in combat, their greatest strength lies in intelligence gathering and information processing.

In that case, the final investigation team has been decided.

The young man from the Hyuga clan chose to lead the team himself, while the other two clans sent their elite members to participate in the investigation. All that was left was to wait for news from them.

The investigation lasted a week. They secretly searched for a large amount of usable information and continuously transmitted intelligence back to the enemy, while avoiding life-or-death battles with the enemy and capturing target information to the greatest extent possible.

Madara and Hashirama weren't idle either; they'd been sparring with each other, and the more they fought, the better they felt. Madara was somewhat puzzled; he felt his strength had increased unexpectedly quickly.

Although Hashirama was naturally oblivious, he did notice the strange rate at which his chakra was increasing. However, he was too carefree to think about it in detail.

"Ban, isn't it a good thing that your strength is increasing so quickly? Haha, maybe it's because you have so many people to protect that your strength is increasing so fast."

Hashirama withdrew his Wood Release, looked at the thoughtful Madara, and continued to laugh, "Madara, don't worry, we will definitely win."

Spot nodded, sighed softly, and stopped thinking about it.

He has actually been under a lot of pressure all these years. Since his father died in battle, he has been on edge every day, afraid that he might make a wrong decision and plunge his clan into the abyss.

He often thought that he wished his father were still alive, but he also knew that it was impossible.

Fortunately, with Hashirama's companionship and comfort, the two will surely overcome this crisis by supporting each other.

After all, it was a miracle in itself that they were able to lead their clan to reconcile with their mortal enemies.

......

A week later, the investigation team's results came out. Although it was called an investigation, they also encountered a lot of battles. They were ambushed by several clans along the way. Fortunately, the clans on the Konoha side were relatively united, unlike the enemy clans which had to be wary of each other. So the results were quite good.

They returned to Konoha Village carrying the corpses of their enemies. However, of their nearly twenty members, only fifteen or sixteen survived. Some of the weaker ninjas became the first group to perish since the village's founding.

At the main gate of Konoha, the Byakugan-wielding youth stood expressionless, yet his emotions betrayed sadness and anger. He was also covered in bandages, clearly indicating he had been injured.

"Clan Chief Madara, of our group of nineteen, fifteen have returned. Four of our comrades were killed and two were seriously injured. However, we killed more than a dozen enemy ninjas and gathered some intelligence."

The young man with the white eyes spoke calmly, but Ban could tell that his emotions were not truly heartless or indifferent.

"You've worked hard..." Hashirama quickly stepped forward and grasped the other's hand, his eyes filled with seriousness and sadness.

At this moment, a female ninja from the Inuzuka clan stepped forward and explained, "Although we tried our best to conceal our movements, the enemy's numbers were too great, and we still couldn't avoid several battles. Especially..."

At this point, she couldn't help but glance at the Byakugan-wielding youth standing in front of Hashirama.

"In the last ambush we encountered, if it weren't for this man, we probably would all be dead..."

She began to recall the invincible fighting style of this young man with the white eyes. He would defeat any enemy who got close, and he was ruthless and decisive, without any hesitation.

His strength is very high; I estimate he's almost at the level of the Uchiha clan's Heavenly Fire.

"No need to thank me. We are all comrades with a common mission goal and will. We have already succeeded as long as we can complete the mission and bring back the intelligence."

He sighed, then continued, "Let's settle the affairs of our fallen comrades first, and then I'll explain the last piece of information we obtained."

Previously, intelligence was transmitted back via spirit communication every so often, but this time the battle was too intense, so they hadn't had time to send a message.

Spot nodded. He didn't know the other person's name yet, but he was definitely a trustworthy partner. The other person's expressionless face might be due to his nature, or it might be because he had experienced war and become more mature and ruthless.

"Then let's start the meeting. Um...you..." Ban was a little embarrassed. He wanted to ask the other person's name, but the other person had made such a great contribution, and he didn't even know his name. It was a bit unreasonable.

"My name is Hyuga Tennin," the young man said calmly, then fell silent and said no more.

"Let's go, Ban. We'll work on a plan tonight, the sooner the better..."

Hashirama understood that things had come to this point, and there was no going back or reconciliation. He was now prepared for the worst.

Inside the Konoha meeting room, representatives from more than a dozen clans, large and small, were present. It was the same group of people as last time. They sat at a long table and began to discuss the intelligence.

"Let me tell you about the last clan we encountered..." Hyuga Tenjin began calmly, "They are the Kaguya clan we discussed before, currently considered a ninja clan of the Land of Water. Their abilities are indeed troublesome; they can extend bone spurs from any part of their body to fight..."

The Tennin provided a detailed account of the enemy's fighting style and their unique bloodline limit. They excelled in taijutsu, and even the Byakugan, which usually had an absolute advantage in taijutsu, found it very difficult to fight them.

Analysis suggests that although their clan is powerful, they don't send many people; other clans usually come in groups of three to five, and are frequently seen. It seems that only two or three members of the Kaguya clan have been observed, and further details are unknown.

The discussion continued, with everyone puzzled by the ability to extend bones to attack, wondering where this bloodline limit came from. Moreover, physical bloodline limits were practically like the Byakugan and Sharingan.

"As expected, powerful clans are rare. Other families are troublesome, but they are not entirely unmanageable."

The Nara clan chief analyzed the specific abilities of these clans and then began to match them one by one, looking for abilities that could just counter the other side. Even if they could be perfectly matched, the information gap was still very important when fighting.

After a series of arrangements, the battle plan was finally decided.

After observation, it was found that although the enemy families were numerous and powerful, they had no trust in each other at all, and only a few families were somewhat close to each other.

Therefore, we should take advantage of this vulnerability to gradually find out the location of the other party, and then defeat them one by one.

This is the least risky option. Although Konoha still has a chance of winning in a direct confrontation, war means death. They try to resolve this battle in a way that minimizes the number of their comrades who will be killed.

Of course, the defense of Konoha's headquarters must also be strengthened. After all, the Uchiha had learned a lesson from a certain clan, so this time, they must guard their home base very closely.
