The Ordinary Life of a Clear-Ryu Ninja Chapter 757

After Itachi left, Fuyutsuki pondered in his office. Allowing Obito to continue collecting Uchiha Sharingan would be a great harm to Konoha. “Notify Jiraiya as soon as possible.” So Fuyutsuki went to the Hokage office again.

“Lord Jiraiya, there’s something I need to discuss with you,” Fuyutsuki said straightforwardly as he pushed the door open.

He happened to find Jiraiya hunched over his desk, looking troubled by a pile of documents. The brush in his hand repeatedly dipped into the inkstone, but he hesitated to put it to paper.

Fuyutsuki closed the door, formed a hand seal, and released a sound-muffling barrier before speaking, “Itachi just told me that many Sharingan awakeners among the Uchiha clansmen serving in the border defense forces have died mysteriously, and their Sharingan were all dug out. I suspect that masked man from the Akatsuki organization, who uses space-time ninjutsu, is deliberately hunting Uchiha ninja who have awakened their Sharingan to collect them.”

Jiraiya’s expression instantly turned serious. He put down his brush and rubbed his temples. “Harming Sharingan ninja and succeeding repeatedly… Is the information reliable?”

“Although there’s no conclusive evidence at the moment, based on analysis of various intelligence, the possibility is very high,” Fuyutsuki replied honestly. “To prevent more Uchiha clansmen from being harmed, I suggest recalling the Uchiha clansmen who have awakened their Sharingan in the various border defense forces back to Konoha to temporarily avoid the limelight. Also, I suggest not sending them out of the village for missions, lest they be harmed as soon as they leave.”

Jiraiya seemed very tired. He leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes in thought for a moment before saying, “This suggestion is feasible. However, recalling so many people will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Uchiha clan, especially with the tense situation at the border.”

“I understand the difficulty,” Fuyutsuki said. “We only need to inform Fugaku-sama of the details, and he can appease the clansmen, which should reduce some conflicts.”

Jiraiya opened his eyes and said with a heavy tone, “Very well, then we’ll do as you say. I will issue the dispatch order as soon as possible, but publicly we’ll declare it a strategic adjustment to avoid causing panic. Fuyutsuki, the Anbu Monitoring Department should ideally help deal with this. Constantly retreating is not a solution. Although asking you to deal with someone who uses space-time ninjutsu might be a bit difficult…”

“As long as it’s someone from the Akatsuki organization, I will find a way to deal with them,” Fuyutsuki nodded. “However, as you said, the difficulty is quite high, and I don’t know when I’ll be able to do it.”

“Do your best. I’ll also think of other ways…”

One day later, the dispatch order was officially issued. According to Itachi’s report, Fuyutsuki learned that there were indeed voices of dissatisfaction within the Uchiha clan. Fugaku faced many questions at the clan meeting, but he never revealed the specific reason.

That night, as Fuyutsuki walked out of the Anbu Monitoring Department base, he sensed a “guest.” When he looked up, Fugaku was already standing at the entrance.

“Fugaku-sama?”

“It’s been a long time, Fuyutsuki,” Fugaku nodded in greeting. “Regarding this personnel transfer, I’d like to hear your thoughts.”

Fuyutsuki knew that Jiraiya must have revealed the source of the information, so it was reasonable for Fugaku to seek him out.

So Fuyutsuki gestured for Fugaku to talk as they walked, and spoke frankly, “How some information was obtained, I’m afraid I cannot reveal, but I can tell you that the person collecting the Sharingan is very likely also an Uchiha clansman. He wears a spiral mask, uses space-time ninjutsu, and perhaps… the Nine-Tails’ attack on Konoha back then might also be related to him.”

Fugaku rarely showed such a shocked expression on his face. “There’s… no evidence?”

“Currently, there is no direct evidence, but the purpose of collecting so many Sharingan… aside from a few Uchiha, only some of us high-ranking Konoha officials know about Izanagi.”
