I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Faced with such a thunderous retaliation, no ninja village could remain calm and composed!

[Kumakure Jonin Orui assassinates the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning in public!]

[They even declared that this country doesn't need daimyo, as long as it obeys the will of the Raikage alone!!]

Upon hearing this news, not only the entire village of Konoha, but even Ara, who was predicting the subsequent developments, was surprised by Miyajo En's trip.

After all, the defenses around the daimyo are extremely tight, and the guards who can be hired by him and assigned by the ninja village to his side are the elite of the elite.

Even so, they still found the most opportune moment and used the Cloud Village ninja, who had the strongest factional significance, as the wielder of the sword!

Such conflict, such actions,

This was far more ingenious than trying to use those powerful figures to create obstacles and alleviate the pressure on the Land of Hot Springs.

That guy truly lives up to his reputation as a terrifying figure even Orochimaru had to praise.

As for the death of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, it did not stir up much emotion in Ara's heart.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, and the ruthless pursuit of goals, is the very essence of ninjas. Not to mention, the Blood Pond Clan already has an irreconcilable blood feud with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

Even the Uchiha clan was that guy's enemy.

Regarding this matter, although it has not yet fully erupted due to the current balance of interests, as the current head of the Uchiha clan, he will eventually have to give the other party and Chino an explanation.

Faced with such news, Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly at a loss.

The assassination of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, with the wielder being a Jonin from the Hidden Cloud Village on a guard duty, is a huge shock to every faction that adheres to the one country, one village model!

Among the five great ninja villages, perhaps only Iwagakure can maintain stability for a time.

Meanwhile, Rasa next door is probably already in a state of chaos. You should know that in recent years, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has been facing a predicament where the military expenditure of Sunagakure has been decreasing year by year. Now that such a thing has happened, how can those powerful people not be vigilant and panicked?

Who exactly orchestrated this shocking farce?

[Uchiha Ara himself is clearly still in the village, and there is no sign that his clansmen have left.]

Is it the girl with the blood-red dragon eye who stayed behind in the Land of Hot Water, or is the Akatsuki taking advantage of the chaos to make a new move?

Looking at the expressionless, indifferent boy, Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils contracted continuously.

No, this couldn't be the work of the Akatsuki, because the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki hasn't returned to the Land of Lightning yet, and the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't have what they want right now.

Making such a move is clearly unreasonable.

Therefore, this must have been the work of the [Thunder Light Group].

Considering that Uchiha Ara's nonchalant attitude when he heard that Konoha was trying to put pressure on the Land of Hot Springs must have been due to having a backup plan, he was able to remain calm!

What other tricks are you hiding?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared inwardly, naturally unwilling to believe that the girl with the blood dragon eyes who appeared in the Land of Hot Water was the one who did it.

Because the other party appeared at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water yesterday.

To control an experienced Cloud Village Jonin and assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning in broad daylight requires considerable courage and meticulous planning!

He really didn't want to believe that the young girl could do such a thing in less than a day.

There is only one most likely answer: Uchiha Ara is hiding a secret plan.

Moreover, this move is comparable to Hanzo the Salamander, whose hand has already been revealed!

"So, Hokage-sama."

Should we continue our probe to the border of the Land of Hot Springs tomorrow?

The silence that characterized the environment was broken by the desolation.

Konoha's efficiency is remarkable; they mobilized personnel and even arranged the marching formation in just one afternoon.

Of course, this mission was also partly for defensive and deterrent purposes, which is why there weren't many ninjas accompanying the mission. Furthermore, the main ninjas were drawn from other border regions, specifically from experienced veterans with genuine garrison experience.

Such a direct inquiry caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's composure to falter slightly.

He stared intently at the young man in his field of vision, and everything that was happening now seemed to be exactly as the other party had wished!

"Stand by for now."

After a brief silence, he finally gave an answer.

Because this is an issue that cannot be avoided, the assembled personnel are scheduled to head to the border with the Land of Hot Springs tomorrow.

But now, with the arrival of the final intelligence report: [Kumakushi Village has begun sealing off the entire Land of Lightning, vowing to search high and low to find the mastermind behind this terrorist attack!]

Such an action instantly lost its meaning. After all, without a troublemaker like Kumogakure who could lead the charge, it would be somewhat rash for Konoha to rashly carry out a large-scale reinforcement.

Moreover, by the afternoon, the ninjas stationed on other borders had already begun to adjust and march...

At the very least, we can't let the Thunder Group think that we're preparing for war. Otherwise, if those guys go crazy and start a war, or even sneak into the Land of Fire and do something similar to what the Land of Lightning did, the whole situation would be terrible.

Although the example set by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has served as a warning, it is almost impossible for the Daimyo of other countries to take more stringent precautions and repeat this behavior.

However, this will inevitably affect, to some extent, the level of trust that daimyo and political figures in various countries have in ninjas.

In particular, decades ago, the Land of Fire experienced a bloody incident where the Twelve Guardian Ninjas fought each other to decide the will of the Land of Fire.

I must immediately dispatch a reliable and prestigious ninja to appease the Fire Country Daimyo's emotions and further demonstrate Konoha's stance and commitment to protecting his life.

"Then, I'll go to the Anbu to get the intelligence data on the S-rank rogue ninja over the years."

Huang didn't say much, nor did he give the other party a chance to react, and left the meeting directly.

He was certain that under such circumstances, with Shimura Danzo having also left the village, the other party had neither the intention nor the ability to interfere with his actions.

That's definitely true.

Despite the Third Generation's attempts to impose numerous restrictions on this unpredictable factor, he ultimately failed to take any action to prevent it.

After all, the most important thing right now is to show the attitude and will of Konoha to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

It should be noted that the envoy from Daming Prefecture behind Yu Zhi had already shown great unease and mentioned several times that he wanted to leave the banquet and return to his country. How could he possibly imagine what Daming Prefecture had become?

"Chief Lu Jiu, Chief Hai Yi, I'll trouble you two to escort the envoy back to the capital."

With the threat of Uchiha Ara out of the way, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to regain his former authority and decisiveness.

Nara Shikaku was sent because his wisdom and virtue were highly regarded by the daimyo, and his presence was likely to appease the unease in the hearts of the powerful and influential.

After all, in their own eyes, this was a counter-espionage plot by others to frame Kumogakure, but in the eyes of the daimyo, politicians, and powerful figures, it was not so easy to remain calm.

As for Yamanaka Inoichi, the reason for including him in the escort team was not only because he had become increasingly unstable regarding the issue of Uchiha Ara, but also because he was a master of mental techniques. If someone wanted to do something through genjutsu, he would definitely be able to detect it immediately with his strength.

In addition to the order that was issued, several letters were also sent out under the cover of night by well-trained falcons.

However, the reply he received the next day left Hiruzen Sarutobi with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

[The Chunin Exams are still on the same date. Konoha must have produced quite a few geniuses in recent years; the kids from our village are all itching to try.]

Sunagakure showed absolutely no intention of canceling or postponing the operation.

It must be that this incident in Raihime Village has made Rasa even more nervous and eager to flex the muscles of Sunagakure Village.

The other letter was a request for help.

[Reporting to the Hokage, the Iwagakure ninja have suddenly launched an attack while our forces were shifting. Our front lines have been captured, and Captain Hakumo and his men are now surrounded and their fate is unknown, as they were trying to buy us time to retreat.]

[Requesting backup!]

finally come.

Chapter 417 is nothing more than a defeated opponent.

[The Hidden Stone Village in the north, taking advantage of the shifts in Konoha's defenses, launched an invasion without warning!]

This message caused an uproar and anger throughout Konoha, and all the points of contention converged on the north in an instant.

It should be noted that although the relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure has not reached the point of forming an alliance in recent years, it has rapidly warmed up for a period of time due to the emergence of the Akatsuki organization.

The border region enjoyed a long period of peace thanks to this cooperation.

However, it was unexpected that such peace was always just a facade and a superficial one.

Our side has just had some garrison personnel redeployed due to the rise of our eastern neighbor, and the bandits in the north are already eager to annex the land of the Fire Kingdom!

How can they tolerate such behavior?

In an instant, the desire to volunteer for battle surged forth, and Konoha's elites truly rioted in this oppressive environment.

Ultimately, the bloodshed in the Land of Hot Water was a result of their own wrongdoing, and the force called the "Lightning Group" did not attempt to further invade the Land of Fire's territory.

However, the actions of Iwagakure this time are completely different.

Those guys are truly insatiable; they're always trying to seize their homeland!

However, amidst this enthusiastic atmosphere, two people remained uninvolved: Konoha's two advisors.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, standing behind the Third Hokage, fell into an eerie silence as they looked at the white-haired figure in front of them.

At this moment, they finally understood what the methods and arrangements mentioned by their former colleague were.

They once again used the Shirakumo Hayama squad, which was on duty at the northern border, as bait to lure Uchiha Ara to the rescue.

And there is no doubt that this time, unlike five years ago, when Iwagakure only sent a small, cannon fodder squad of a few hundred ninjas to make a tentative visit.

This time, we'll definitely mobilize everyone, giving it our all!

Even the current Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, might appear on that battlefield!

After all, it's the allure of the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan!

The object of his affections was that old, immortal Onoki; no one could fathom the obsession and fear he harbored for the Uchiha clan.

Obtaining a kaleidoscope is undoubtedly the best way to resolve a knot in one's heart that has been buried for decades.

However, if such a scheme came from Shimura Danzo, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado would not have been so shocked, because such ruthlessness was the consistent style of the other party, symbolizing the darkness under Konoha.

However, when they realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi had come up with, devised, and implemented this action on his own without anyone noticing, the two of them suddenly felt as if they no longer recognized their kind-faced old friend.

Yes, this strategy of using one tiger to devour another is bound to be effective.

The Hidden Stone Village's fighting style and unwavering will are to use lower-ranking ninjas and the lives of the weak to pave the way, deplete the strength of their prey, and then let the stronger ones reap the final harvest.

In the Third Shinobi World War, the faction that gathered the strength of tens of thousands of its own ninjas and fought for three days and three nights against the Third Raikage, who could wield the 'strongest spear' and the 'strongest shield', and successfully killed him, would be the most proud achievement of that faction.

Can the young Uchiha Ara possess the strength to rival the Third Raikage, A, who is known as the strongest Raikage?
