"It must be that my critical injury stimulated you, causing you to awaken your eyes."
"So, Clan Head-sama saying you were beyond saving was also to help Itachi awaken his eyes?" Uchiha Mikoto asked.
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
Returning to Uchiha En, he instantly teleported with Shisui all the way to the Land of Frost.
"Is this the place?" Uchiha En asked, glancing at the ground where bloodstains still remained.
Shisui nodded and said, "This is it. At that time, the mysterious person opened the spatial rift in the southeast direction."
"Southeast direction? I see. You go back first! I'll go check it out myself." After speaking, Uchiha En flew towards the southeast.
Along the way, Uchiha En didn't find anything unusual, nor did he sense any powerful Chakra.
"En, the opening direction of Yomotsu Hirasaka doesn't equal the direction he transferred to. Searching like this is useless," Nijo said.
"I know, but this is the only clue, so I'm just trying my luck.
Besides, I just heard Shisui say that guy has almost recovered after absorbing the Chakra of the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails, and the red halo and Rinnegan behind him have already appeared.
If we don't find him soon, there might be some trouble."
Nijo nodded upon hearing this and didn't ask further.
Uchiha En searched extensively but found nothing, so he reluctantly turned back to the Village.
Not long after Uchiha En returned to Konoha, Kakashi came to his house, saying that Minato Namikaze wanted to see him and asked him to come over.
Uchiha En nodded and instantly teleported to the Hokage Office.
"Senior Minato, you were looking for me?" Uchiha En asked.
"Yes, En, you already know about that guy, right?"
"I know. I just went with Shisui to the place they encountered him. After searching around and finding nothing, I had to come back first."
"Is that so? That guy is so strong, and he even knows how to hide himself. It seems he won't be easy to deal with!"
"Yes, we can only search slowly."
"En, it's almost my tenth year as Hokage. I plan to pass the position of Hokage to you soon. What do you think?"
"Of course! But Senior Minato, let me be frank: if I become Hokage, some of my plans will proceed."
"Suit yourself. I won't be Hokage anymore, so I won't interfere with those matters," Minato Namikaze replied without hesitation.
"Senior Minato, why this sudden big change?"
"Because I've realized something: the enemies the Ninja World faces now are not something ordinary people like us can handle.
If I'm not mistaken, there should be quite a few guys like this mysterious person, right?"
Uchiha En nodded.
"It's just as I thought. These people come from the same place as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, whom you mentioned. Any one of them possesses Rinnegan like the Six Paths Sage. I have no confidence in protecting the Village from these monsters, so I can only rely on you."
"Senior Minato, don't worry, your choice will not be wrong."
"I hope so!"
Although Minato Namikaze intended to abdicate and yield his position, it wasn't something that could happen overnight. There were many preparations needed for a new Hokage to take office.
So, the two decided that Minato Namikaze would step down in six months, and Uchiha En would take over the position of Hokage after six months.
During these six months, Uchiha En could arrange the subsequent matters.
First was the Akatsuki Organization. Uchiha En planned to officially start the Akatsuki Organization's operations.
Currently, the Land of Lightning and Kumogakure in the Ninja World were already under Uchiha En's control. The Land of Fire and Konoha were only a matter of time, and the Mizukage of Kirigakure, Ujiha, was also Uchiha En's person. Now only the Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village, as well as the Land of Earth and Iwagakure, remained.
Uchiha En's primary target was naturally the Land of Earth and Iwagakure.
Because the Land of Wind and Hidden Sand Village were, in a sense, Konoha's vassals, taking them over would be simple.
The more troublesome ones were the Land of Earth and Iwagakure.
Uchiha En planned to use the power of the Akatsuki Organization to crush Iwagakure, forcing Iwagakure to seek aid from Konoha. At that time, Konoha would have a reason to intervene in Iwagakure and could take the opportunity to control Iwagakure.
Of course, those troublesome individuals in Iwagakure, such as Tsuchikage Ōnoki and his son Kitsuchi, would definitely be eliminated directly.
After taking Iwagakure, Uchiha En would go directly to the capital of the Land of Earth and control the Land of Earth's Daimyo.
For the last Hidden Sand Village, Uchiha En would use the pretext of jointly opposing the Akatsuki Organization to make them follow Konoha's arrangements. If the Sand Shinobi obediently complied, everything would be fine, but if they dared to resist, he would simply replace the Kazekage.
This way, the Ninja World would be completely under Uchiha En's control.
Then, he would continue to portray the Akatsuki Organization as a major villain that everyone could only fight by uniting.
With the Akatsuki Organization as an external factor, Uchiha En would exert internal pressure, gradually promoting the unification of the Ninja World.
Just as Uchiha En was planning his next move, Asana, who was conducting experiments in the Sound Village, suddenly felt a burning sensation in her pupils.
Asana was stunned for a moment. Logically, the third awakening of her Tenseigan should be at least a year later, so why was it starting now?
As Asana was puzzled, Otsutsuki Hamura's voice suddenly appeared in her mind: "My descendant, the current Ninja World is facing great power. My elder brother has decided to trust Uchiha En, that descendant of Indra.
I don't fully agree with my elder brother's decision, but I will provide some support. You are his companion; I will give you a portion of my Chakra to help you complete the final evolution of your Tenseigan."
After speaking, Asana felt a surge of Chakra pour into her eyes, and her Tenseigan became even hotter at that moment.
