Sasori of Sunagakure Village received two reports regarding Konoha: one about crafting bows and ninja blades, the other being a marriage introduction flyer about Anya.
After carefully checking the flyer twice, Sasori slammed his palm on the table and muttered to himself, "I knew it. Big Brother Kurotsuchi will definitely take an interest in this. Back then, he must've thought Mabui was unattractive. Hmm, come in."
An Anbu agent appeared in the room.
Sasori gave a direct order, "Go, distribute this flyer throughout the village. Gather all the young women in the village who're good-looking, and send them all to Konoha."
The Anbu hesitated, as if trying to process what he'd just heard, not moving right away.
Sasori became furious, "What are you waiting for?"
"Understood."
In Iwagakure village, Onoki held the flyer in his hand, sighing with emotion, "Unexpectedly, this clan still had a hidden expert. It's better that he has revealed himself now. Trying to revive the clan alone, hmp, it's not that simple. Should I..."
Kitsuchi, standing nearby, fell into deep thought after seeing the flyer. Somehow, as soon as he saw the face on the flyer, he felt a spontaneous dislike.
Seeing the look on his son's face, Onoki asked, "What's up? You recognize this guy?"
"I feel like I've seen him somewhere before," Kitsuchi wasn't sure, "Now, what do we do? If this clan truly rises again, Konoha will become powerful once more."
Onoki sighed and said, "During the Third Battle, we suffered heavy losses that we haven't fully recovered from. Even if we wanted to act, we shouldn't be the ones to start it. Other villages must've received the same news too."
Kitsuchi immediately understood his father's meaning and turned his gaze toward the direction of Kumo.
Inside Kumo, a heated discussion had already begun. During the Third Battle, Kumo had the most contact with the Uchiha Clan, so they naturally understood the power of this clan. You could say they carried the entire battlefield for Kumo by themselves. Now that the clan was resurfacing, vigilance was naturally warranted.
Raikage A glared down at the Elder Council bickering among themselves and felt nothing but frustration. Finally, he bellowed, "Shut up!"
The Elder Council of Kumo could be considered the weakest among the five great ninja villages, practically a retirement home or just a decoration. Whatever decision the Raikage made couldn't be changed by anyone else.
"It's just one member of the Uchiha Clan, and you're making such a huge fuss over it. Even if the clan rises again, it's at least a decade away. We shouldn't waste time discussing this here."
However, the next words from one of the elders made even Raikage lose his composure.
"Uh, after the flyer entered the village, many young women started planning to leave the village. In fact, some little girls still in the Ninja Academy are even shouting about going to Konoha."
"What?" Raikage exclaimed in shock, "How could this happen?"
The elder smiled helplessly, "Maybe it's just because... he's good-looking."
Raikage snatched up the flyer and gave it a long stare, grumbling, "Good-looking? He looks like some girly pretty boy with zero manliness."
Sigh... Discussing this with Raikage is like talking to a wall—utterly pointless.
The real issue now was how to stop this trend. If many young women left the village in large numbers, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?
The Raikage clearly realized this as well and waved his large hand, saying, "Completely ban the flyers and seal off all exits from the village. Once this matter naturally fades away, everything will settle down."
One of the Elder Council shook his head and said, "That won't work. The flyers are already everywhere in the village. If we lock down the village, it will trigger huge conflicts."
The Raikage became furious, suddenly stood up, and roared, "Damn it! Konoha actually used this trick—it's so underhanded and cunning. Alternatively, why don't I send them a letter challenging that Uchiha to a duel? Let's see who the real man is, and let those women know he's nothing but trash in front of me!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he realized the Elder Council had gone silent. Raikage A sighed deeply and sat back down.
For one Kage to challenge a ninja from another village to a duel—whether victorious or defeated—would always be nothing more than a joke.
"Blocking it outright won't solve anything—guidance would be better," the Elder Council finally proposed. "Hold a beauty contest right here in the village, choose the most outstanding woman, and send her alone to Konoha. The others wouldn't stand a chance anyway—they'd only make fools of themselves. This way, we can prevent population loss."
Raikage A thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. "Then this selection must be handled carefully."
"Yes, and at critical moments, she could even carry out an assassination mission."
Raikage A nodded slightly and felt a bit more at ease.
In Kirigakure, Master Gen held a flyer in his hand and sighed alone, "Back then, when I heard the Uchiha clan had been wiped out, something didn't feel right. As expected, you're still alive. I knew it. A pest like you wouldn't die so easily—whoever may fall, you'd never be one to go."
Seeing the name on the flyer, Master Gen couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Heh, Oub—it's fake too. Everything about him is a lie. He's a total fraud."
At this moment, a ninja wielding the twin swords Hiramekarei respectfully approached Master Gen and reported, "Elder, all the flyers within the village have been collected without any left outside. Also, a strict order has been issued forbidding anyone from distributing any further flyers."
"Very good. Keep this matter buried in your heart—don't tell anyone."
"Yes."
Master Gen burned the flyer in his hand to ash, murmuring softly, "Girl, this is the last time I help you. I hope you really forget about this person."
At Konoha Hospital, after many days of unconsciousness, Sasuke finally awoke under Sakura's care. Dazed, Sasuke opened his eyes, looked around, and saw Sakura leaning over by his bedside. He couldn't help calling out softly.
Hearing movement, Sakura immediately woke up. Seeing Sasuke so close before her, she couldn't help hugging him tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "Thank goodness, Sasuke—you've finally woken up. I was so worried."
"Sakura, I'm fine now. What's going on lately? It's so noisy outside."
Normally, the hospital should have been quiet, but recently the atmosphere in the village had become too lively, and even the hospital wasn't spared.
Smiling gently, Sakura said, "Sasuke, do you know what's happened?"
So our new teacher is called Uchiha Anya. Like you, he's also from the Uchiha Clan. The Hokage has given him the Uchiha compound, and he even declared his intention to revive the Uchiha Clan. As for you...
Before Sakura could finish her sentence, she noticed Sasuke's expression turn extremely dark, his eyes revealing a hint of killing intent.
Startled by this sight, Sakura couldn't help asking, "Sasuke, you... what's wrong with you?"
"He's not real. I won't buy it. How could there still be any Uchiha clansmen left? Even if he can fool everyone, he can't fool me." Sasuke growled with a gloomy face, "I get it now. That dream—it must've been one of his illusions. Daring to impersonate my mother and trying to make me recognize him as my foster father. Despicable bastard! I knew he was up to no good."
"Sasuke, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word," Sakura said, concern flashing in her eyes. Had the high fever gone on so long that it affected Sasuke's mind?
