I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Yagura casually dispelled the mist, and at the same time, his appearance changed significantly. Crimson, violent energy clung to his body like an outer garment, and three strangely shaped energy tails swayed behind him.

The several kunai with explosive tags attached fell casually beside him, naturally failing to cause or even leave the slightest harm.

And what is this?

Tailed Beast Transformation!!

Chapter 211 Since the Will of Fire can no longer illuminate you, you can naturally discard it!

Tailed beast transformation?

Hearing the screams that echoed across the fields, Ara, standing on the giant tree branch, remained calm. His scarlet eyes, which swirled with black tomoe, were indifferent as he watched the Fourth Mizukage below, who was enveloped in crimson, violent energy.

It's just a half-tailed beast form disguised as a tailed beast.

True tailed beast transformation is more than just this.

Of course, Ara was certain that Yagura would not recklessly enter his complete form under such circumstances.

After all, there are quite a few Hidden Mist ninja in the surrounding area.

However, it must be said that after borrowing the power of the tailed beast, the chakra energy poured out from it alone showed an exponential increase!

This is the most direct sensory perception that the Sharingan can see!

Moreover, the strongest boost from the Three-Tailed Isobu is in defense!

That distinctive tailed beast cloak, clearly discernible and with sharp edges, resembled Isobu's rugged armor, exuding an unbreakable, absolute defense!

Trying to break through this turtle shell with ordinary ninja tools is simply a pipe dream.

Even a powerful explosive tag might only tickle it.

At this moment, Yagura Karatachi, in his current state, is seemingly invincible.

To defeat, no, to be able to confront it head-on, one must need a 'Kage' of equal rank, or a Jinchuriki of another Tailed Beast.

However, in contrast to the peaceful scene, the two forces surrounding them were anything but calm, and the situation even became more chaotic.

"The Fourth Hokage actually activated his Tailed Beast Transformation for that kid!"

"I never imagined that the declining Uchiha clan would still have such a genius alive! If we don't stop him, I'm afraid that in five or ten years..."

"........"

Amidst the restless chatter of the Hidden Mist ninja, there was not much praise or admiration for their own 'Kage,' but rather shock at the person they faced!

Originally a Kage, and now in Tailed Beast form, this invincible aura was being unleashed against a young boy!

How could they easily let go of such a visual, status, and power imbalance?

Of course, the one who acted the most extreme was Yamanaka Inoichi.

"Shikaku!"

He growled in a low, deep voice, like a wild beast that could no longer contain itself, his wide eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

The sound made Nara Shikaku, who had been silent and focused on performing his secret technique, tremble.

The last time I heard such a heart-wrenching cry from the other side seemed to be during the Third Shinobi World War.

Even so, even though the voice struck him directly into his heart, he remained silent and did not release the secret technique he held in his hand, leaving behind only a cold and indifferent back view.

Nara Shikaku knew perfectly well what his old friend wanted to say and do, but he couldn't, absolutely couldn't, agree to it.

The situation is completely different now than before the expedition!

With the Fourth Mizukage regaining his senses, the two sides had ceased hostilities. If the fighting were to continue, it would no longer be for the integrity of the Land of Fire, nor for the prestige of Konoha, but solely for Uchiha Ara!

Fighting for the 'lie' he alone has woven.

Although Shikaku really didn't want to use this word, theoretically speaking, apart from Ara, who else could get Ao's Byakugan in such a chaotic situation in the first instant?

'Is it the Akatsuki organization, known for its unpredictable actions and grand schemes?'

'Is it still coveting the Hyuga Byakugan, and the Hidden Cloud Village which borders this area?'

However, even if they can deduce that these two forces are equally suspicious, what can they do without any evidence?

The Fourth Mizukage would never take his words to heart!

At most, they will only reconsider their stance on these two forces after capturing Uchiha Ara.

This is the awkward situation caused by the huge disparity in peak strength; the two sides simply do not have equal conditions for dialogue!

'Think, think quickly, Shikaku!'

'You'll definitely be able to find the crux of the matter, find the overlooked points. Even a ninja can't commit a perfectly flawless crime.'

'And precisely because he is a ninja, possessing superhuman strength, he would inevitably leave behind some trace.'

But just then, the man's voice echoed in his ears again:

"I'm so disappointed in you. When did you become like this, Shikaku!"

Such a low growl shattered the Nara clan chief's thoughts, and his solid back trembled noticeably.

After all, this question came from a close friend who had shared life and death with him!

Not only him, but even Akimichi Choza felt a tremor in his heart; he too could feel the genuine anger in Yamanaka Inoichi's words!

'What are you talking about, Haiyi?'

'It's clearly you who's changed!!'

'Since when did you start becoming so irrational when it comes to anything related to Uchiha Arakawa?'

"Now, we must prioritize the bigger picture!"

Nara Shikaku remained silent, but his mind was in turmoil. Being misunderstood by his best friend and questioned in such a situation would be unpleasant for anyone.

However, his silence and refusal to defend himself failed to garner any understanding.

What is the Will of Fire?

"Shikaku, tell me, what exactly is the Will of Fire of Konoha?"

Yamanaka Ino let out a hoarse roar, his stern face twisting and contorting in his extreme rage!

Even if the person he rebuked was his longtime friend, even if the bond between them, the "Pig, Deer, Butterfly" trio, was deeper than the Peach Blossom Pool!

but.........

"it is good."

"very good."

"Since you've forgotten, then I'll give you a proper reminder."

"The so-called Will of Fire is what our predecessors sacrificed their blood and their lives to ensure the peace of the next generation of Konoha and to secure the future of Konoha Village!!"

Yamanaka Inoichi's chest heaved violently, and from his ever-approaching hands, it was clear that he was constantly struggling, trying to break free from the constraints imposed by the [Shadow Imitation Technique].

"But look at yourself, what are you doing right now?"

"Sending a child to face the 'shadow' of another village alone—is this the Will of Fire you've inherited?"

"And have you forgotten where you are, where you've set foot? Beneath this land lie the remains of which tribe?!"

"A hundred years later, in another world, will you truly be able to face your people of that race with equanimity?"

The increasingly intense and turbulent low roar, like an approaching storm, frantically bombarded Nara Shikaku's soul.

The scariest thing is that he knows the other person is absolutely right.

Where leaves dance in the air, fire continues to burn.

The overall plan he had set out to achieve seemed to have run counter to the will of the successor.

Perhaps, it's not Inoichi who has changed, but himself?

"do you remember?"

"Do you remember those young faces from the Third Shinobi World War?"

"You once said that it was your own incompetence that allowed those young juniors to go to the battlefield! You once said that you would definitely stop such things from continuing to happen."

"But what are you doing now?"

The sharp interrogation was like the sharpest knife, ruthlessly slicing open Nara Shikaku's chest and plunging inside.

Was I really wrong?

As the Supreme Commander, known as the brain of Konoha, does he still retain that burning will of fire?

Upon hearing these words, Nara Shikaku suddenly felt somewhat bewildered.

A year ago, when the Uchiha clan was in an irreversible predicament, and when Kirigakure and Iwagakure joined forces to demand Uchiha Ara from Konoha, I remained silent because it was an intractable situation!

Even though Konoha has gradually recovered from the war, it cannot directly confront two equally powerful forces. Remaining silent and not pushing for change is actually the best attitude towards Uchiha Ara. In fact, it's not just him; many clan heads share this attitude.

After all, he's from the Uchiha clan.

Half a month ago, when Uchiha Ara was assigned to the closed Land of Rain to deliver an alliance letter to Hanzo of the Salamander, he didn't say anything. He simply analyzed the Akatsuki's combat strength and their possible subsequent plans.

Of course, his mind naturally detected some clues.

Why send Huang to him?

He successfully infiltrated the Land of Rain? Is he the current head of the Uchiha clan?

Do not make jokes.

No matter how powerful Ara is, no matter how he is the head of the Uchiha clan, can he really represent Konoha Village?

Shouldn't matters like the alliance be handled by a more prestigious entity to demonstrate sufficient sincerity and importance?

Perhaps, from that time on, I stopped seeing him as a boy and instead saw him as a qualified fighter in Konoha, a regular fighter who could be sacrificed or used at any time!

Now, when Kirigakure once again demanded Ara, and when a way to avoid unnecessary casualties appeared before him, he once again chose to let it go.

Undoubtedly, this is the best and most suitable choice for the General.

After all, a shadow is unavoidable...

"Is Shadow truly invincible?"
