I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

It's highly unlikely.

Not to mention, Onoki, who has the Bloodstained Elimination skill, will most likely be on the battlefield in person.

Even with Ara alone, and with Susanoo alone, it would be impossible to easily stop the power of that ninja village!

【Dust Release】, that is truly a powerful and almost unbeatable offensive ninjutsu. In addition, that old guy can reduce his own weight and stay in the air without wings or the assistance of a summoning beast!

It's practically an invincible position to a certain extent!

But isn't Hiruzen afraid of inviting trouble later?

Although geographically, Iwagakure, located in the Land of Earth, is better suited for defensive positions, the past Shinobi World Wars have proven that they have always harbored great ambitions and are unwilling to be confined to that northern corner of the land!

What if, after dealing with Uchiha Ara, those guys launch a new attack?

Beyond that complex area on the border, the terrain becomes completely flat!

If war breaks out in the Land of Fire, the consequences will be terrifying.

It is important to know that the ninja of Iwagakure are good at conducting group operations, and the effectiveness of their combined Earth Release ninjutsu on plains is multiplied exponentially!

And what about those unstable forces in the east and west of the Land of Fire? Will they also take this opportunity to attack us?

Compared to these subsequent events, the number of ninja lost in the northern border of Konoha during this Iwagakure attack seems utterly insignificant.

Hiruzen, have you really thought everything through carefully?

To eliminate Uchiha Arakawa, we are now gambled with the future of the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

Koharu and Homura's hearts were pounding, their burning, anxious gazes fixed on Koharu without moving an inch, immense fear and lingering dread weighing on their minds.

However, they cannot speak of it, it is forbidden to speak of it.

I can only keep these things to myself and question them later!

[Baiyun Yeshan and his squad.]

Upon hearing the name, Huang abruptly stood up from his seat, a sudden act that quickly drew the attention of everyone present.

For a moment, they all stared blankly at their passionate and limitless companion, hoping or expecting that this young companion would say something in this situation.

Because it inherited the name Uchiha, the name of the strongest clan in Konoha in the past.

Moreover, in the past five years, the other party has proven its strength and demonstrated that it can continue to maintain the title of the strongest clan.

Unfortunately, Huang didn't say anything.

Standing amidst this sudden silence, all he could do was stare indifferently at the white-haired old man with a benevolent expression.

Here, a scarlet hue was revealed, overflowing from the pupils;

Meanwhile, the three jet-black tomoe etched in his pupils slowly coalesced, eventually transforming into a slowly rotating windmill.

At this moment, the entire conference room seemed to have suddenly fallen into the cold winds of the north. All the attendees felt a biting chill, and the air was filled with a chilling atmosphere!

Some less capable individuals, in this environment, couldn't help but shiver!

Terror and awe surged in the hearts of the attendees.

Terms like 'humanoid war machine' kept popping into the minds of these people who were close to them!

With just this glimpse, they seemed to be able to sense the fear and helplessness of other forces in the face of the Uchiha and Ara!

The name "Blood Asura," which was passed down to other countries, has long since explained everything.

That old man, that old codger!

A silent, grinding sound exploded in Huang's heart.

He thought and thought, but he never expected that this old fox would once again use Captain Baiyun's life as a bargaining chip, as bait to lure him.

Those were the absolute elites who served on the northern border of Konoha and the Land of Fire year-round, yet they were just abandoned like that.

As for the costs to be paid and the bargaining chips to achieve this alliance, Huang did not consider them.

The only people he cared about were Shirakumo Hayama, Tekuno, and Kimura Suke.

Those guys were teammates who had fought side by side on the northern border, companions who stood in front of the Third Hokage on the night of the massacre, and who guarded the Konoha Hospital all night long!

Five years ago, in the ward,

Uchiha Naki, who had grown up overnight, once reported: "When Konoha was discussing whether to hand over the clan leader to the Iwagakure ninja, it was the Yamanaka clan leader and Hakuun-senpai who were arguing their case."

Hiruzen Sarutobi met Ara's gaze calmly.

Those aged and deep eyes were like a pair of invisible black holes, holding all emotions, all questions, and all anger.

Moreover, he remained completely silent, not uttering a single word!

"Huh, boring."

"They're nothing but a bunch of defeated underlings."

Unable to get any response, Huang suddenly felt relieved. After uttering a boastful statement with utter contempt, he turned and left abruptly.

What discussions, what planning, what making the most appropriate and effective decisions?

By the time everything is over, all will have ceased to exist.

Even though Huang clearly knew that this was a trap set against him, and that there was a high probability that Captain Baiyun was being used as bait to survive, he was still alive.

But he still couldn't gamble, and dared not gamble!

After all, Onoki, who was known as the Two Scales, was no benevolent person either;

After all, one hostage is enough. What will become of Tekuno-senpai and Kimura-suke?

Huang's silent departure surprised everyone present.

Most people are secretly hoping that he will say or do something, because this guy's arrogance and rebelliousness are deeply ingrained in people's minds.

But I never expected to leave in this way.

That phrase "defeated opponent" is certainly arrogant enough, but who doesn't know how to say "copied"?

"Heh, so you're still afraid in the face of the Iwagakure army after all?"

"Anyone can talk tough, but you're just walking out like that?"

"This is truly a disgrace to the former Madara Uchiha."

Some attendees who had long disliked this group spoke with disdain.

In the past, the current Third Tsuchikage trembled at the feet of Madara Uchiha, a demon he could never erase.

Even though that legendary figure has been dead for many years, the shadow of that person has not been dispelled!

Such a statement immediately drew agreement or deep thought from some heads of prominent families.

They do indeed share similar ideas.

"Hmph, that guy can only show his toughness when facing the emerging Lightning Clan!"

"They really are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong."

"They might use yesterday's pursuit of the S-rank rogue ninja as an excuse to refuse to participate in this Iwagakure invasion."

More malicious speculations arose.

But it's no wonder that such voices of agreement arose.

According to messages from ninjas at the front lines, the Iwagakure ninjas who launched this attack stretched as far as the eye could see, and they broke through the northern defenses almost instantly.

The phrase "the whole nest came out" is an apt description!

Faced with such a life-or-death situation, who dares to say they are not afraid, and who dares to say they will be the first to step forward?

"Hmph, does Konoha have no one left just because there are no Uchiha?"

The sarcastic remarks continued.

However, apart from Matt Kai constantly raising his hand to volunteer to lead the charge, no other family head openly declared their intention to go to war and stop the enemy.

It wasn't entirely because of fear,

Instead, they were waiting for their Hokage to give them orders.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also had a moment of self-doubt: had his plan gone wrong? In fact, Ara Uchiha did not care much about those few friends from other tribes.

Just as he directly agreed to the action against the Land of Hot Springs yesterday, those foreigners are nothing to him.

Moreover, there has indeed been no contact between the two in the past few years, and even the Uchiha clan has had no interaction with that team.

Such thoughts made him start to feel flustered and uneasy.

His confidence continued to decline.

If Onoki doesn't get the response he wants, what should he do if he takes advantage of this momentum to continue expanding the Land of Earth's territory southward?

What if Uchiha Ara uses this incident to his advantage, and then launches a rebellion after the elite ninjas of Konoha go north?

As this thought arose, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind became increasingly chaotic.

He suddenly realized that he had staked the entire operation on so-called friendship.

However, if he himself could choose to sacrifice such an elite Jonin who inherited the Will of Fire to eliminate a hidden danger that he found extremely troublesome, how could he possibly do the same to Uchiha Ara, with whom he had only a brief friendship?

Wouldn't that guy sacrifice this fleeting friendship to maintain the Uchiha clan's long-term prosperity, or even to seek dominance over the village?

How can we remedy this situation?

Who should be sent to guard the northern front to prevent Ōnoki from advancing directly south?

Too many questions suddenly piled up in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, and his slightly uneasy gaze swept over everyone present.

Although Might Guy is brave and resourceful, he is not good at commanding troops. Even an old guy like the Third Raikage could be overwhelmed by the crowd, let alone an elite Jonin on his side.

Even if it can only temporarily stop them, it is not enough to stop the ambitious tens of thousands of hidden rocks.

Those guys were the least concerned about the sacrifice of lower-ranking ninjas.

The Hyuga clan?

Aside from the fact that Hijikasa went there in person, this clan seemed to have no capable leaders to speak of.

Asuma Sarutobi?

This was indeed a moment for him to shine, but as both a father and the shadow of a village, he knew that the other party's abilities were still insufficient.
