"Izumi, time to get up!"
After Shikaku and the others left, Uchiha Shin returned to the palace where Izumi was staying.
He gently shook her, preparing to wake her up.
"Brother Shin? Why are you up so early? Let me sleep a little longer!"
Izumi looked at Uchiha Shin with sleepy eyes and said coquettishly.
"No, something has happened. I have something to tell you. Get up."
Uchiha Shin said.
"What happened??"
Izumi gradually woke up.
"Just last night, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, the three major ninja villages, all sent troops against us at the same time!"
Uchiha Shin said in a deep voice.
"They dare to take advantage of our situation?"
At this, Uchiha Izumi was completely awake, and she said angrily.
"That's right! So, we must strike back hard and let them know that we're not to be trifled with!"
Uchiha Shin said.
"Exactly, that's what we should do!! Brother Shin, what are you planning to do?"
Izumi asked.
"I've already sent Kakashi to Kikyo Mountain and Shikaku to the northwest. Now, all that's left is Kumogakure in the northeast. I've decided to personally lead three thousand ninja to the northeast."
"To teach those barbarians from Kumogakure a good lesson."
"However, we've just taken the Capital of the Land of Fire and confiscated a large amount of wealth. We can't just ignore it. So, I've decided to leave you and the remaining one thousand ninja here to guard the capital!!"
Uchiha Shin said.
"Brother Shin, you're not planning to take me with you!"
Izumi pouted and said.
"There's no other way. We're short on manpower."
"Besides you, I can't find anyone else I can rely on!"
"The Capital of the Land of Fire is of great importance. You don't want us to lose it right after we've occupied it, do you?"
Uchiha Shin said helplessly.
"Alright!!"
After hearing Uchiha Shin's words, Izumi reluctantly accepted the task.
"You're a good girl, Izumi!!"
Uchiha Shin hugged Izumi, gave her a hard kiss on the forehead, and smiled.
"In that case, I'll leave the Capital of the Land of Fire to you."
"Brother Shin, don't worry. I will absolutely not let anyone cause trouble in the capital!!"
Izumi said solemnly.
"Let's go, let's have breakfast together and talk while we eat!!"
Uchiha Shin said.
"I haven't washed up yet!"
Izumi said, quickly going to wash up.
Then, she went to the Daimyo's Mansion's dining hall with Uchiha Shin for a meal.
During breakfast!
"By the way, Izumi, you said yesterday that you captured two of Kazuma's female subordinates..."
Uchiha Shin asked.
"That's right. Brother Shin, now that you mention it, are you thinking of taking them to the northeast?"
Izumi asked.
"Yes, I'm short on manpower, aren't I? If I can subdue them and make them work for me, they would be a small help."
Uchiha Shin said.
"Then, what about that old woman Tsunade? Are you planning to take her to the northeast?"
Izumi asked.
"Her chakra has already been sealed. She's not even as good as an ordinary person. Why would I take her with me! She would be a complete burden!"
Uchiha Shin shook his head.
"The seal can be released!"
Izumi said.
"The problem is, I don't trust her right now. What if I release her seal and she attacks me in return?"
Uchiha Shin said.
"That's true!"
Izumi nodded.
"Yugao, go and bring those two here!"
Uchiha Shin said to Yugao.
"Yes!"
Yugao responded.
Not long after, she brought Fuen over, holding a scroll in her hand.
"Release!"
Yugao released the seal on the scroll.
The "hair demon" Fufu appeared before Uchiha Shin.
"What's going on??"
Fufu looked around, and instead of attacking directly, she asked.
"Right now, you are both my prisoners. I'll give you two choices. First, submit to me. Second, be killed by me! Choose!"
Uchiha Shin sized up the two of them and said.
Well, Fufu was quite beautiful, but her real body was her hair, and her body was made of mud.
The thought of this made him lose interest in her.
As for Fuen, her looks were a bit inferior to Fufu's.
Although she had some charm, it wasn't enough to make Uchiha Shin desperate.
Well, he would just take them as two somewhat capable subordinates.
Fufu and Fuen glanced at each other, then knelt down before Uchiha Shin in unison.
"We are willing to submit to you!!"
It is human nature to follow the strong.
Although they had followed Kazuma before, it didn't mean they were very loyal to him.
It just meant that by following him, they had a decent life.
Now, Kazuma was dead, and an even more powerful figure wanted to take them as subordinates.
...
Naturally, they couldn't refuse.
"Very good!"
Uchiha Shin nodded.
"Would you like some breakfast??"
"Then we will respectfully accept!"
The dining table was very large. Uchiha Shin and Izumi sat together, with Yugao sitting below them.
The two glanced at the arrangement and sat down below Yugao, showing they knew the rules.
Uchiha Shin nodded and quickened his pace of eating.
Ten minutes later, breakfast was over.
Uchiha Shin took Izumi to the city gate.
At this time, Shikaku, Hiashi, and the others had already led two thousand clan ninja and one thousand ordinary ninja out of the Capital of the Land of Fire, heading northwest.
After arriving at the city gate, Uchiha Shin gathered all the ninja.
...
He then quickly separated one thousand to leave for Izumi!
Then he led the other three thousand and marched towards the northeast of the Land of Fire.
Izumi stared blankly as Uchiha Shin and the others completely disappeared before she came back to her senses.
She then said to a member of the Uchiha clan standing beside her, a helper left for her by Uchiha Inaho: "Monitor the entire Capital of the Land of Fire. Do not give those with ulterior motives any opportunity!"
"Once discovered, kill without mercy!"
"Understood!"
The girl standing beside Izumi, Uchiha Yu, responded, then made a hand gesture to a certain spot, passing down Uchiha Izumi's order.
Uchiha Yu was only eighteen years old, had awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, and had the strength of a Tokubetsu Jonin.
Compared to Uchiha Izumi, there was still a considerable gap.
However, Uchiha Inaho thought highly of her, so she took her under her wing to slowly train her.
In fact, Uchiha Inaho had stronger and more outstanding people by her side, but they were all men.
Considering the need to cooperate with Izumi's work, Uchiha Inaho still chose to let Yu be Izumi's deputy.
"Do you know where Elder Shikaku and the others put the things they confiscated from the raids??"
Izumi asked.
"I know!"
Uchiha Yu nodded.
"Let's go, take me to see!"
Uchiha Shin had entrusted the defense of the Capital of the Land of Fire to her, so she naturally had to understand the situation in all aspects
