Time quietly passed for two days.
Rengoku wandered around the school during the day. At other times, he would occasionally switch to Itachi's side, or Mizukage Yagura's side.
But both parties were still on their journeys, especially Mizukage Yagura, who had to travel across the sea. It wasn't going to be fast.
Rengoku just took a look at the situation and then withdrew.
At night, he transferred his consciousness to Naruto to consolidate the study of the Four Symbols Seal.
At the same time, he also communicated the plan well with Kushina.
When she learned that this would improve Naruto's living environment, Kushina was especially hopeful.
Until this morning, Orochimaru sent Guren to inform him that the plan could start tomorrow.
Rengoku passed by Neji face to face during break time.
After Neji walked a few steps forward, he suddenly came to his senses.
He did his best to control his expression, but shock still appeared in his eyes.
He didn't expect that his principal would actually deliver information in such a way.
Neji organized the content, it wasn't much, and he remembered it all.
Because of the matter on his mind, Neji was distracted in class all day.
Tenten secretly looked at Neji several times during class and wanted to talk to him after school.
But Neji endured until after school and then left the others behind and rushed toward the clan.

[Uchiha Clan District]
"Rengoku, are you doing this to provoke the Third Hokage's nerves?", Fugaku was a little surprised after hearing Rengoku's words.
Rengoku smiled and said, "In just these few days, how could Konoha possibly find a way to control the Nine Tails?"
"As long as we don't touch Hiruzen's bottom line at this point, he'll only keep retreating."
"We need to gain enough power and benefits during this period."
"So this pressure this time is very important. The clan head and the great elder must both go in person."
"And the great elder has to be the mouthpiece again."
"Danzo is still holding on to our clan's Sharingan. Trying to slip past this is too naive."
"We must always maintain a strong stance in order to make the Third keep retreating."
Politics is always about your advance and my retreat. Although the Uchiha were compensated with the positions of two honorary elders and the ninja school principal by Konoha, compared to the hatred of clan members being ambushed and killed by Root, nearly being wiped out, that's nothing.
All the previous actions were just preliminary steps, it's still far from achieving the real goal.
Since Danzo was deliberately left behind, it was naturally to be used as a target the next time there was an attack.
After all, the Third Hokage nominally dismissed Danzo, but was it really possible for Root to disband?
Rengoku never believed what came out of the Third Hokage's mouth.
Fugaku nodded in agreement. Anyway, Rengoku's brain worked better than his, so at times like this, he just needed to follow orders.
"No problem, I'll inform the great elder."
"Tomorrow, the great elder and I will both go."
After Rengoku arranged the clan's matters, he began reviewing whether the Third might do something desperate.
If desperate measures were taken, he should have a way to counter them.
Ideally, the original body would stay in the clan. It had more chakra, but shadow clones couldn't activate Susanoo.
But a shadow clone at school would be no problem.

[Hyuga Clan]
In the main family courtyard, Neji brought the received intel to Sota.
Sota quickly arrived at the main courtyard to report.
Hiashi also quickly summoned several elders.
In the conference room, the great elder looked at the document in his hand, "Is this the material Uchiha Rengoku wanted us to disseminate?"
"Yes, great elder."
There wasn't much on the document. Hiashi and the other elders all took a look one by one.
They exchanged glances with one another.
They were certain this was only half of it.
Not that the material itself was only half, but Uchiha must have other arrangements.
This was just the part they were responsible for.
The second elder let out a laugh, "The Uchiha are applying pressure on Hiruzen again."
"This is clearly forcing us to take a clear side."
The third elder looked slightly hesitant, "The Uchiha are playing with fire."
The second elder sneered, "Aren't the Uchiha always playing with 'fire'?"
The third elder ignored this brute and instead looked to the great elder with a questioning gaze.
The great elder slightly shook his head and said, "At this point, our Hyuga clan has long had no retreat."
"When Hizashi died, the road to Konoha was already blocked."
"If we keep hesitating now, the Uchiha will abandon us."
"Right now it's not the Uchiha who need the Hyuga. It's us Hyuga who need the Uchiha."
Hiashi looked around and said in a deep voice, "Those people Hiruzen called back are indeed from his clan."
"The medicine system at Konoha Hospital is all managed by the Nara clan."
"They've confirmed this information."
Although it was previously confirmed, now with solid evidence, the elders still felt a chill in their hearts.
'That Hiruzen actually gathered so many people?'
"Well then, if no one objects, we'll wait for the Uchiha's signal tomorrow."

[The Next Day]
Naruto, who had carefully memorized characters for three days, was still sound asleep in bed.
Naruto not going out was a good thing for the Anbu watching over him.
However, the Anbu still came in quietly to check on Naruto, and after seeing that he was fine, they quietly exited the room.
After the sun had risen high, Naruto groggily opened his eyes.
He wobbled to the wash basin.
"Gurururu gurururu…"
"Pfft…"
After some tidying up, Naruto finished washing up.
Then, with a serious expression, he walked over to the desk and opened the book.
Page by page, he flipped through the unfamiliar words in the book and read them aloud.
"…Generally refers to the product of evenly mixing spiritual energy and physical energy," Naruto slowly let out a breath. This was the first time he had taken something so seriously.
He really used three days to recognize all the new words.
This introduction to chakra, he now knew every single word from the first to the last.
Naruto stood up excitedly, "Oh! Awesome!"
The Anbu outside shook their heads, not knowing what kind of crazy he was up to.
After a few excited shouts, Naruto began repeatedly calling out to Kushina in his mind, 'Uzumaki, did you hear that?'
'Did you hear that?'
A satisfied voice from Kushina rang in his mind, ["Sure enough, if you want to do it, you'll definitely achieve it."]
Watching Naruto study so hard for three days, Kushina was also comforted.
'Uzumaki! You promised me. You'll tell me… my identity.'
Kushina slowly let out a breath and said, ["Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."]
["First, sit properly."]
Naruto sat upright at the desk, eyes shining, afraid of missing a single word.
["Before I tell you your identity, let me give you some basic knowledge. What are tailed beasts? What are jinchuriki…"]
