I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"unnecessary."

After coldly uttering a negative statement, Hyuga Neji walked past him.

What is a genius?

What about all that training he did day and night before?

Don't use such simplistic words to negate all the efforts they've put in!

"I will not give up."

"Absolutely not,"

"never!"

Just as his aloof teammate brushed past him, Locke Lee clenched his fist and growled.

Even if no one believes it,

Even if no one approves,

"I will absolutely use my own fists to prove my perseverance and break free from the entrenched fate!"

"Because this is my ninja way!"

He suddenly turned around, his eyes burning like torches as he stared intently at Hyuga Neji's back, his taut arms revealing menacing veins.

From this moment on, from this very instant!

This guy is the target that he will pursue and eventually surpass in the near future!

Even if the other party doesn't consider themselves a real opponent at all.

Upon hearing this, Neji made no comment and continued walking out of the academy.

But just as he stepped out of the school gate and was about to turn the corner:

"Then prove it to me properly."

"Anyway, I will never accept the idea that one can become a ninja without chakra."

As he turned to the side, a cold gaze fell upon him from the corner of his eye.

After making his declaration, Hyuga Neji walked towards the training ground without looking back.

Because he also clearly knew that the only way to break free from fate, the only way to make others take his will seriously, was to become stronger.

Keep getting stronger!

Otherwise, it's all in vain.

"Yeah! Just wait and see!"

Upon hearing such a response, Locke Lee instantly pumped his fist in excitement. Even though the other party's words were still filled with a coldness that kept people at a distance, it was enough to excite him, and every cell in his body was boiling at that moment.

This is perhaps what it feels like to challenge a powerful opponent to a gamble!

"Hey, you guys are really energetic."

A crisp sound reached Locke Lee's ears.

"Oh, it's Tenten-san. Please take care of me from now on."

The boy turned around and saw a girl with two little buns standing not far away. She was the third member of the team and the only girl: Tiantian.

"Well, well."

"However, I'm not as motivated as you two."

"Just don't have too high expectations of me."

The girl waved her hand in response.

Her ultimate dream is to open a weapons shop someday.

"Well then, I'm going to train now. See you at the next meeting."

Upon hearing this, Locke Lee didn't say anything more, but instead bowed slightly and walked towards the playground.

Before continuing to train with Sasuke, he had to run fifty laps as a courtesy to the first-year students.

"Okay, bye-bye."

Tian Tian waved his hand in response.

However, as he watched his two peers striving for their respective dreams and destinies, a strange thought suddenly welled up in his heart.

In fact, besides wanting to open her own weapon shop when she grows up, she also has a dream that is unique to young girls.

To become a great female ninja like Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, was a dream she had kept buried in her heart for a very long time.

However, perhaps,

Some people are just daydreaming.

After all, Lady Tsunade is so powerful, while she is just a very, very ordinary girl.

but,

or,

Why don't you give it a try?

Such thoughts frantically occupied her mind.

........

The graduation of the sixth-year students of the Ninja Academy is probably the grandest and most exciting event in Konoha in the past year.

Of course, this isn't just the case in Konoha; it's the same throughout the entire ninja world.

Whether it's the ravaged Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Cloud Village which lost a tailed beast, or the Akatsuki organization which has almost become the public enemy of several major ninja villages, they have all been in a state of dormancy and recuperation.

The same applies within the Uchiha clan.

They were immersed in peaceful cultivation every day. No outsiders came to cause trouble, and no clansmen went out to cause trouble. Everything was developing steadily.

Kurenai Yuhi also left several weeks ago.

One reason was that she had nothing more knowledge to pass on to Kurama Yakumo, and another was that the Third Hokage had made new arrangements for her:

He became a teacher at the Ninja Academy, working alongside Sarutobi Asuma.

Because the next class of students will also be entering their graduating year after the start of the new semester in April, and they will be forming ninja squads to carry out activities!

Everything is developing in the direction he planned.

apart from,

He thought he could confine the boy to his clan's territory.

【shortage,】

[The Land of Craftsmen has been fully infiltrated; our people have been placed along the routes used by the five great ninja villages to negotiate and make purchases.]

However, those guys who called themselves the Four Celestial Beings still seemed a bit unconvinced.

[They said they wanted to meet you in person.]

We've lost to them so many times already.

It really is.

[How about I use the Blood Dragon Eye to forcibly control them!]

【……】

The flames slowly consumed the note.

If you want to see me, then so be it.

Chapter 269 This is the first and last reminder.

The ninja world has been quite unstable lately.

[Hey, I heard that a huge upheaval has occurred within Kirigakure. The Fourth Mizukage has been controlled by outsiders for decades. During this time, even the symbolic Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist couldn't stand the tyranny and fled. The once mighty Land of Water has been reduced to the embarrassing state of closing its borders. It's really quite laughable.]

[It wasn't just Kirigakure; the usually arrogant Kumogakure also suffered a major setback this time, with their headquarters being directly breached and their supposedly perfect Two-Tails Jinchuriki captured by the enemy.]

[The same goes for Konoha. It prides itself on being the strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages, but without the valiant and warlike Uchiha clan, what ability does it have to occupy that vast territory?]

However, it seems that Iwagakure and Sunagakure have suffered no losses.

[Ha, what's there to fear about Onoki, that coward who only knows how to use sheer numbers? What use is a huge army once we stop providing the ninja tools? Besides, that old guy seems more interested in the newly emerging Akatsuki organization next door; as for Sunagakure, it's just a barren, isolated place. I heard they themselves also want to eliminate their own Jinchuriki. Perhaps, to revitalize the Land of Takumi and break free from the domination of the Five Great Nations, we can start with Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.]

[Yes, those despicable five great powers have always treated us like tools to be exploited at will! They're polite when they need us, but once war breaks out, we're the first ones threatened. This time, we must awaken our ancestors and let them lead us out of the shackles of the five great powers!]

【……】

These were the remarks made by the radical faction in the Land of Takumi two years ago, when major changes occurred within the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure.

The reason for such remarks is not some fleeting ambition, but rather the dissatisfaction and rebellious will that has accumulated in the artisan village for nearly a century.

Tracing back to the history, starting with the generation of Qingming, the founder of this village,

The Land of Craftsmen creates and supplies ninja tools equally to the five great nations above the ninja world.

But what?

But what did they get in return?

In peacetime, things were fine; the five great nations would treat them with great courtesy in order to obtain large quantities of high-quality ninja tools.

However, once a state of mutual hostility is entered into, each nation will develop a sense of apprehension towards this being who is skilled at crafting ninja tools.

They worried that the Craftsmen's Kingdom would hand over a large number of ninja tools to enemy forces, causing further losses to their side.

Therefore, whenever the five great ninja villages are at war, they will send ninjas stationed near the Land of Craftsmen to more or less interfere with or even control the will of the Craftsmen Village, making them make choices that are beneficial to their side.

Despite being a group of artisans with superb skills, they have to live at the mercy of the five great nations at all times, and even suffer unnecessary collateral damage from time to time. This is the source of the resentment of the radical faction in the Kingdom of Craftsmen!

Although the powerful military strength of the five great nations and the peace that the ninja world enjoyed for a period of time, such resentment was roughly suppressed deep in the hearts of the craftsmen.

However, the Land of Water and the Land of Fire's intervention in the war between Kirigakure and Konoha reignited the resentment of the radical faction in the Land of Crafts against the Five Great Nations.

Continue to remain silent.
