Chapter 77 You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, while the people watching the scenery watch you from upstairs
"Sanye, you're back."
At the Senju clan's residence, Li Zhongren pushed open the gate of the courtyard and saw Uzumaki Kushina sitting in the position that once belonged to Uzumaki Mito, looking at Jinglu kowtowing with a bored look on her face.
"Well, isn't Grandma Mito back yet?"
"Aunt Biwako said that Mito's grandmother's health has not been very good recently. She has to live there. Why do you smell like alcohol and women?"
Uzumaki Kushina stood up and looked at Li Zhongren with suspicion.
"Uchiha Fugaku invited me to Snow Dance for a drink and talked about some things."
"what's up?"
"Let's talk inside. Is there anything to eat?"
"No! Didn't you go to the pub?"
"Just drinking, no food."
As he spoke, Li Zhongren opened the door and saw a table full of sumptuous dinner, although it was a little cold.
"Then I won't be polite."
"Humph!"
Uzumaki Kushina curled her lips, but still sat opposite Li Zhongren.
"what is this?"
Seeing Li Zhongren casually placing a scroll aside, she picked it up curiously.
"Secret orders from Hokage-sama."
"What happened? Of course, if you can't say it, don't say it."
"There are no outsiders here."
"Humph"
"Eh? Uchiha Jonin actually sold out their elders just for a banner!!"
"Ah."
"So, that's why the old man asked you to monitor him. After all, this kind of thing is unreliable no matter how you think about it."
"It's unreliable for others, but it's normal for Uchiha. They are just like that. Moreover, he actually wanted me to kill Uchiha Setsuna. Of course, with the cooperation of the Red Flame Army, it was a reward for my helping him to solve the problem of the Hyuga clan. It allowed me to compete for the title of Hokage in the future. However, I refused, so my mission became to monitor Uchiha Fugaku."
"Ah? Why would you refuse? That was my childhood dream."
"No reason. Besides, I'll be very busy as Hokage. How can I accompany you?"
"Hate you."
Uzumaki Kushina's face turned a little red.
"But, Sanye, don't you have any goals at all? I don't actually need you to accompany me all the time."
"I want to live freely."
"What? This is not a dream or a goal. It's totally..."
“It’s difficult, okay?”
"It's not difficult, I think you're just being lazy"
"No.."
"There is..."
In the courtyard, the sound of startled deer thumping was heard. Li Zhongren was eating while arguing with Uzumaki Kushina.
In the distance, between a pile of grass and trees, an eye blinked, as if it couldn't stand this kind of conversation, and disappeared silently under the ground.
"Sanye, it's gone."
Then, the voice of Uzumaki Mito sounded in Li Zhongren's mind. The voice was no longer old, but as gentle and pleasant as it was that time.
"receive."

"Ha, you Uchiha clan members are also interesting" Uchiha Mansion
A middle-aged man was holding the tiger seal, and opposite him, a scene was playing. It was the conversation between Li Zhongren and Uzumaki Kushina. Before that, there was the conversation between Sarutobi Hiruzen and his son, the conversation between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Takanashi Mitsuha, and even earlier, the conversation between Takanashi Mitsuha and Uchiha Fugaku, and the scene where Uchiha Fugaku secretly contacted the people in the clan to discuss this matter after he left.
All of this appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's eyes.
Listening to the ridicule of the man who claimed to be the black market boss, Uchiha Setsuna took a deep breath.
At this moment, he understood a little bit of Madara-sama's helplessness. If only Uchiha Uchiha betrayed him, he could still accept it. But when no one in a family supports you, what does it matter even if you have the Mangekyō Sharingan?
You are alone, and everything you want to do has lost its meaning.
"So, Mr. Uchiha Setsuna, will our cooperation continue?"
Black Zetsu slowly released the tiger seal and the picture disappeared. Some time ago, after Sarutobi Hiruzen swept through the Hyuga clan with lightning speed, he had been paying attention to this matter. Naturally, he discovered what happened to Uchiha Setsuna, so he told Uchiha Madara about it.
Unsurprisingly, Uchiha Madara was not interested at all and said it was just a bunch of losers fighting each other.
Fortunately, he still convinced Uchiha Madara that he could try to help Uchiha Setsuna by using the identity of a black market boss. It didn't matter if he failed, but once he succeeded, Konoha would fall into civil strife, and it would be easier to capture the Nine-Tails or target that Konoha Wood Release boy in the future.
Of course, at the moment, he is playing the role of a black marketeer. At this time, the more he retreats, the less Uchiha Setsuna will suspect that he has other purposes.
"Of course we will cooperate."
Uchiha Setsuna raised his head and looked at the black businessman.
"You didn't believe his lies, did you? He spoke so eloquently in front of Mitsuha Kotori, but what did he say to his son afterwards?"
"No, no, that has nothing to do with it."
The black market boss smiled.
"I just suffered heavy losses in Konoha, and I encountered this incident by chance, so I wanted to make some money to make up for my losses. The problem is, you are alone now."
"But I still have it!"
Uchiha Setsuna's eyes immediately turned into three magatama, and the three magatama instantly merged into the same pattern as that at the Nanga Shrine that day.
"Since you are known as the most well-informed person in the entire ninja world, you must be aware of the capabilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"I know a little bit."
The black market boss looked into Uchiha Setsuna's eyes and sighed.
"It's really beautiful. I mean, the Mangekyō Sharingan is known as the art of reflecting the mind. It will generate two eye techniques at the moment of awakening. The eye techniques will reflect the things that one desires most in one's heart. So, your ability is..."
"My Mangekyō Sharingan was awakened the moment I watched Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech."
"My left eye is called the Mirror of the Sky. It can copy a scene from a certain moment. The one I chose was the scene when Sarutobi Hiruzen held a meeting in the square. All the ninjas in the village were there, including the three thousand Red Flame Army!"
"And my right eye, called the Spirit Sense, can project the thoughts of everyone present onto their projections. In other words, everyone's will will appear there. In that scene, I will have a good debate with him and expose Sarutobi Hiruzen's conspiracy. What you have to do is to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen and all three thousand Red Flame Army while my eye technique is activated. I believe that it should not be difficult to face three thousand wooden men who can't move and have no thoughts."

“What a weird ability.”
The person who spoke was Li Zhongren.
At this moment, Uzumaki Mito's Kagura Heart's Eye covers the entire Konoha, and has been maintained for some time.
The black marketeer was watching them at the Uchiha residence through some kind of ninjutsu.
Uzumaki Mito watched the black market merchants and Uchiha Setsuna through Kagura's mind's eye
The purpose is very simple. She hopes to do one last thing for Konoha before she dies, which is to catch the black market businessman.
After all, no one wants Konoha to have any secrets from the black marketeers, but this guy's hiding skills are too good. Originally, this was a difficult goal to achieve because her health was so bad.
However, Mitsuha Takanashi (Li Zhongren) restored her body to youth for a short time, which came from a magical energy. In Mitsuha Takanashi's words, it was a by-product of Wood Release, and it was this move that saved Uzumaki Kushina.
Of course, it was actually a red envelope sent to him by pirate Rayleigh, which was a telepathic ability. His original plan was to restore the youth of this grandmother and make her his strong partner. Unfortunately, this is not the pirate world after all. The physical differences between the two sides are too great. Rayleigh is a 70-year-old who has crossed the sea.
But it is still possible to restore youth in a short period of time.
So Uzumaki Mito kept Kagura's heart eye open, but in order to deceive Uzumaki Kushina who couldn't act, she hid in the Konoha Hospital.
"Grandma Mito, do you want to launch an attack in advance?"
Li Zhongren said in a low voice.
On the one hand, according to Uchiha Setsuna, once this ability is activated, the person being controlled will temporarily lose the ability to move, which is too dangerous.
Secondly, the words that Sarutobi Hiruzen said to his son were clearly heard by the black market boss and Uchiha Setsuna. Once the ability is activated, everyone in that space will debate, and Sarutobi Hiruzen may be ruined. After all, he admitted that he embezzled Konoha's money to build the Red Flame Army.
"It can't turn over while I'm here, and I need it to move so I have a chance to catch it."
Uzumaki Mito's voice sounded once again.
"As for the little monkey, if he can't give Konoha an explanation, then he should give up the position of Hokage."
This time, there was a hint of unquestionableness in the voice of Uzumaki Mito, who had temporarily regained her youth.
Perhaps, this is the true majesty of the first generation Jinchūriki.
