Chapter 22: Laying Out the Whole Story
Chapter 22: Laying Out the Whole Story
Chiyo turned to Fugaku and the Grand Elder and said:
"That's about it. We need to take things one step at a time. You won't remember anything if I say too much."
"As for the clan leader's mistake this time..."
Qianyao gave the Grand Elder a wink.
Fugaku looked at the Grand Elder with some trepidation. This matter could be big or small, and it all depended on the Grand Elder's decision.
It would even be normal to remove him from the position of clan leader.
He did not covet the position of clan leader.
However, now that Itachi is about to betray the village, he has more power as the clan leader and can better take care of Sasuke and Mikoto.
When the elder saw Fugaku's cautious gaze, it was as if he was reminded of the time when Fugaku followed him to the battlefield when he was young.
Qianyao's intention in handing over the power of disposal to him was quite clear.
The First Elder, Si Hu, glared at Fu Yue with annoyance:
"You can remain the clan leader for now, but you'll be fined half a year's salary and have to give it to Qianyao."
Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and said with a forced smile, "It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure."
Qianyao smiled, as he was indeed short of money.
The elder looked at Qianyao with great satisfaction. With such strength and intelligence, the Uchiha clan has a worthy successor.
Although Qianyao is a bit young, age has never been a problem.
"Qianyao, you should familiarize yourself with the clan's affairs more in the future..."
When the elder said those words, everyone present understood what he meant.
However, Fugaku did not object at all, and Itachi felt the same way.
If Senpai Chiyo were to become the clan leader, he would surely be able to lead the Uchiha clan to even greater heights.
Qianyao showed no joy on his face, and his reaction was indifferent:
"Let's talk about it when I have time. There's still a long way to go, and the Uchiha clan has a long road ahead of us."
Send the Grand Elder and Fugaku away.
Qianyao checked his cheat system.
On Fugaku's side, the Bond Star is just short of reaching three stars.
As for Itachi, he's only one-fifth of the progress bar away from reaching four stars.
Qianyao was curious about what was inside the fourth star.
On the other hand, Itachi is also considered a very important part of the plan.
So he prepared to tell Itachi everything.
"Itachi, I know you yearn for peace in the ninja world, but do you know that this peace will soon be shattered?"
Itachi bowed to Senyou: "Senior Senyou, I knew you would have a way."
Qianyao looked at Itachi for a long time, sighed, and instead of directly answering Itachi's question, asked him:
Do you know the origins of us ninjas?
Itachi paused for a moment, not understanding why Chiyo would ask this.
However, Chiyo didn't expect Itachi to answer. Instead, she said directly, "In the universe, there is a race called the Otsutsuki..."
Next, Chiyo, speaking in the third person, recounts the Otsutsuki tree-planting plan and how Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of ninjas, was sealed away.
How did Black Zetsu plan to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki?
He explained everything to Itachi, including Madara's control over Obito and how Obito caused the Nine-Tails' rampage.
Qianyao explained it in great detail, taking care of some specific aspects, and it took quite a bit of time.
Itachi looked somewhat dazed, especially after learning that the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage.
His expression was complicated; he hadn't expected there to be so much going on inside.
"Can we stop Kaguya from being resurrected?" Itachi's thinking was still a bit simplistic.
But Qianyao's way of thinking is definitely different:
"Preventing the resurrection of this Otsutsuki is only a temporary solution, not a cure."
"Otherwise, even if Obito and Madara die, there will still be others to continue to revive Kaguya."
"Moreover, there is more than one Otsutsuki. Even if Kaguya is not resurrected, there are still Otsutsuki lurking in the ninja world."
"Only when we are strong enough to defeat the Otsutsuki can we be fearless of any conspiracy."
"Compared to the life on an entire planet, how many people do you think died in the Ninja Village War?"
Itachi's expression shifted several times, as if he were having an intense brainstorming session.
Chiyo wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently for Itachi to digest the information.
After a long silence, Itachi sighed, "I understand, Senyou-senpai."
Qian Yao watched as Itachi's bond bar finally filled up, probably understanding what level of bond was needed to unlock these stars.
He patted Itachi on the shoulder to comfort him: "The Uchiha are still in a bad situation."
"There's another reason I sent you out: to threaten Konoha with Konoha's secrets so they won't dare to attack us."
After all, Itachi was a genuine captain of the Dark Guard and knew many secrets.
However, what Chiyo told Itachi was more than what Itachi knew.
Qianyao changed the subject: "But if Konoha is determined to wipe out our Uchiha clan..."
"Then expose all the information about Konoha, as well as all the secrets of Konoha that I told you, and we'll all perish together."
Itachi looked somewhat taken aback: "Could things really turn out this badly?"
Qian Yao shook his head dismissively: "Any plan may have unexpected circumstances."
"We should always consider the worst-case scenario."
"Remember, man proposes, God disposes."
The weasel pondered the unfamiliar word for a moment, then silently nodded.
"I just told you about Obito's abilities. If you have the chance, just do it."
"Even if we can't kill him, we can at least instill fear in him and make him never dare to come to our Uchiha clan again."
"I understand, Senior Qianyao."
Qianyao looked at the sky outside; it was already getting light, and it was almost dawn.
He stood up and stretched: "I just told you the general direction, now I'll tell you again."
"About the stone tablet, about the Rinnegan..."
Then Chiyo explained the relationship between the Rinnegan and the Sharingan to Itachi again, and also mentioned the two ways to keep the Sharingan from going blind.
And the fact that his beloved younger brother is a future member of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Itachi listened very carefully, after all, this was the foundation of the Uchiha clan's survival.
"You awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan too early; your body may not be able to handle the strain."
"Therefore you should be careful in using the Mangekyou Sharingan."
"The Mangekyou Sharingan is a very useful tool, but a tool only has value when it is used."
"Now that Shisui's two eyes are in your hands, we can also use these two Kotoamatsukami encounters to find two allies."
"If you put your eyes on the raven, I can use them at any time."
Itachi now completely trusts Chiyo, so he naturally agreed without hesitation.
Do you know where Zhishui's body is after he jumped off the cliff?
Itachi was somewhat taken aback, because when Shisui jumped off the cliff, it was just the two of them.
How did Senior Qianyao find out?
However, Itachi quickly realized that Senyao-senpai seemed to know everything.
Even if you know that Shisui jumping off a cliff isn't a big deal.
