Uchiha Kakuzan, who was having a drink with Tsunade, had just raised his glass to his lips when he suddenly felt the spatial imprint he had left for others being gently stimulated. This was a secret signal he left for these people, so that when they needed to contact him, they could stimulate the spatial imprint he had left for them according to the pattern, and he could rush over.

Uchiha Kakuyama focused his attention and recognized it as Uchiha Fugaku, whom he had sent to the Land of Earth. Judging by the time, Uchiha Fugaku should have already arrived at Iwagaku Village in the Land of Earth by now.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't delay, downing his drink in one gulp. He smiled at Tsunade, who was leaning against him, and said, "Tsunade, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of. You drink first, I'll come back to find you later."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Tsunade stiffened for a moment before recovering. After sitting up straight, she said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and do what you need to do."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Uchiha Okayama and continued drinking by himself.

Meanwhile, Shizune didn't dare to say a word. After observing for a week, Shizune had already noticed the strange thing between Tsunade and Uchiha Kakuzan. In their daily interactions, the two would unintentionally show affection. When Tsunade was slightly drunk, she would lose control and lean directly on Uchiha Kakuzan.

Furthermore, when Lady Tsunade leaned against him, Shizune also saw Uchiha Kakuyama place his hand on Lady Tsunade's body in an indescribable place, and Lady Tsunade did not react excessively.

Therefore, Shizune had long noticed the unusual relationship between Lady Tsunade and this Uchiha Kagami, but since Lady Tsunade hadn't said anything, she just pretended not to know.

Seeing the somewhat arrogant Tsunade, Uchiha Kakuyama disregarded Shizune, who was watching the scene unfold, and affectionately reached out to ruffle Tsunade's soft blonde hair, saying with a smile, "I'll be right back after I finish my business. Let my clone keep you company."

With that, Uchiha Kakuzan created a wood clone that remained behind, and then used his eye technique, Takamagahara, to return to his spatial dimension.

Although she had Uchiha Kakuzan's clone by her side, Tsunade's mood was still somewhat low. This was not only because of Uchiha Kakuzan's departure, but also because of Tsunade herself. She suddenly realized that she was becoming more and more dependent on Uchiha Kakuzan, and her mood would become uncontrollably depressed when he left. Tsunade noticed this change in herself, which made her mood even worse.

The obscure Shizune watched as Lady Tsunade continued drinking, not daring to say anything. She didn't actually object to Lady Tsunade dating Uchiha Kakuyama. Although she was the niece of Lady Tsunade's ex-boyfriend, Kato Dan, she could be said to have been raised by Lady Tsunade. Her feelings for Tsunade had long surpassed those for her long-dead uncle.

Therefore, Shizune hoped that Lady Tsunade would find another life partner, and this suddenly appearing Uchiha Okayama was outstanding in every way except for being a little young. Shizune was happy to see this happen, after all, in her opinion, Lady Tsunade had the advantage in terms of age.

Uchiha Kakuzan was unaware of Shizune's ulterior motives. After entering the space, he didn't waste any time, carefully sensing Uchiha Fugaku's spatial imprint before moving on.

In a grove of trees not far from Iwagakure in the Land of Earth

Fugaku Uchiha was intently observing his surroundings, preparing for the possibility of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) suddenly arriving.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside Fugaku Uchiha, appearing like a ghost in the dimly lit forest, making him seem frightening.

Fugaku Uchiha also immediately saw the suddenly appearing figure, but his reaction was the opposite. When he saw the figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and obviously relaxed. Clearly, he had recognized the person.

After arriving at the forest using Uchiha Fugaku's spatial imprint, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately observed the surrounding environment and randomly marked a spot with a spatial imprint.

After marking the clothes, Uchiha Kakuyama noticed that Uchiha Fugaku was wearing clothes that only commoners would wear. He frowned and said, "Clan leader, you are too slow. It has been half a month since you called me here. You should know that I had already sent you to the border of the Land of Earth."

Fugaku Uchiha explained, "There's no other way. This time, I infiltrated Iwagakure in the Land of Earth. To avoid attracting the attention of the Iwagakure ninja, I blended into a merchant caravan that was coming to Iwagakure and arrived with them. That's why I arrived so slowly."

Uchiha Kakuzan nodded in understanding upon hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words. He didn't actually harbor much hostility towards Uchiha Fugaku. It was just that since Mikoto was now his woman, none of the three of them felt comfortable having Uchiha Fugaku in the village. That's why he sent Uchiha Fugaku out to make the most of his remaining strength.

Fugaku Uchiha wasn't stupid; he knew what Fugaku was thinking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up being the head of the Uchiha clan to pave the way for Uchiha Kakuyama.

After Fugaku Uchiha gave Uchiha Kagaku a general overview of the situation in Iwagakure, he quietly waited for Kagaku to make his own decision.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Uchiha Fugaku standing in front of him, smiled and said, "Clan leader, would you like to go back to Konoha to rest, or go to Uzushio Island to check on the construction of our Uchiha clan's territory, or continue to help me go to Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning?"

Uchiha Kakuzan had made his decision: he would not allow Uchiha Fugaku to see Mikoto again in his lifetime. If Uchiha Fugaku chose to return to Konoha, he would make him do what his son would do in the future—wander outside for the rest of his life.

Fugaku Uchiha's slightly weathered face tightened. He hadn't expected Uchiha Kakuyama to give him another chance to go back. However, he also knew that it wasn't appropriate for him to return to Konoha now, so he said, "Then please take me to Uzushio Island. I still want to see how the construction of our Uchiha clan's future territory is going. After I rest for a few days, I'll go to the Land of Lightning."

Uchiha Kakuyama gave Uchiha Fugaku a deep look, then nodded, placed his hand on Fugaku's shoulder, and used the spatial imprint he left on Uzushima Island to bring Fugaku there.

Elder Uchiha Ryo wasn't particularly surprised by the arrival of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kakuzan. He had always believed that Fugaku was at the clan's territory in Konoha and that they were just there to replace him so he could return to Konoha and rest. He welcomed their arrival.

Chapter 158 The Tsuchikage, Onoki

Chapter 158 The Tsuchikage, Old Man Onoki

By the time Uchiha Kakuzan escorted the elder, who had finished handing over his work, back to the Konoha clan's territory, it was already late at night.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't bother anyone further and returned directly to this place through the spatial imprint he left near Iwagakure.

Although it was already late at night, the timing was perfect for Uchiha Kakuzan. If he made a big enough commotion, he believed that Onoki, the Tsuchikage, would definitely come to investigate, and might even intervene to kill the invading enemy.

Uchiha Okayama's purpose in coming to Iwagakure was to obtain the Third Tsuchikage's Kekkei Tota—Dust Release—and the ninjutsu that allows people to fly in the sky—Light-Heavy Rock Technique.

When the First Tsuchikage established Iwagakure, he was very careful in his choice of location, building the village in a place surrounded by rocky mountains. This location was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was quite difficult for Uchiha Kagakuyama to invade Iwagakure without revealing his identity.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan only wanted to lure the Tsuchikage out, and didn't actually need to invade Iwagakure, so he didn't feel any pressure at all.

Uchiha Kakuzan surveyed his surroundings, then formed hand seals.

"Secret Technique - Camouflage Invisibility Technique"

Then, Uchiha Kakuzan's figure seemed to become transparent, blending into the surrounding environment.

Uchiha Kakuyama examined the effects of the ninjutsu on his body and nodded in satisfaction. Although this ninjutsu could not conceal the chakra within the body, its effect on invisibility was outstanding.

When Uchiha Kakuzan emerged from the forest and approached Iwagakure, he stopped in his tracks. Although there was nothing in front of him, there was a conspicuous barrier in front of his Sharingan, enveloping the entire Iwagakure village.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head. It seemed that Iwagakure had gained a lot of benefits from the Uzushiogakure operation, and even their barrier was comparable to that of Konoha.

Next, Uchiha Kakuzan revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan, bypassing the barrier and marking a spatial imprint inside. Through this spatial imprint, Uchiha Kakuzan easily bypassed the barrier of Iwagakure.

Uchiha Kakuzan strolled to a rocky peak next to Iwagakure Village. Looking at the village so close by, his eyes gleamed with eager anticipation. Uchiha Kakuzan grinned silently. Tonight, let me cause a ruckus.

Uchiha Kagami formed hand seals, channeling all his chakra.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone"

Five wood clones separated directly from Uchiha Kakuyama, their eyes changing from dull to lively. These five clones were infused with a large amount of chakra by Uchiha Kakuyama, each possessing a chakra level equivalent to that of a Kage.

The five clones looked at each other and each used a transformation spell, turning into various shapes: some short, some tall, some muscular, some lean, and some ordinary.

After the five transformed, they waved to their original forms and split into five directions, rushing towards Iwagakure.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!" A gigantic fire dragon was summoned, roaring as it lunged forward.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique" is like a river overflowing its banks, with towering waves and a massive torrent of water surging towards Iwagakure with unstoppable force.

"Earth Release - Earth Flow City Wall!" A sudden tremor shook the earth, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred in an instant. The land cracked, houses collapsed, and the ground undulated and rose and fell arbitrarily, with a continuous rumbling sound.

In an instant, the "Wind Release: Thousand Streams Dance Technique" conjured a gale powerful enough to lift people and objects into the air, accompanied by thousands upon thousands of wind blades, like sharp knives, slicing forward.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Release Armor, Lightning Release - Thousand Birds Stream Technique!" The burly figure donned conspicuous lightning release armor, and then, as if the god of thunder had descended to earth, he charged forward, holding a massive bolt of lightning in his hand.

Each clone unanimously chose a powerful ninjutsu with a wide range of effects, not to kill the enemy, but simply to increase the area of ​​influence so as to quickly alert the Tsuchikage and make him show himself.

······

"Lord Tsuchikage, Lord Tsuchikage, enemies have invaded! Enemies have invaded! Please get up quickly..."

The Tsuchikage, Onoki, had just fallen asleep. After all, he was quite old now. Although his strength had declined relatively little, his energy was not what it used to be. Although he had a son, his honest and simple personality made him unsuitable to inherit his position.

Tsuchikage was immediately awakened by the knocking on the door. He immediately got up and cried out, "Ouch, my back!" Tsuchikage immediately clutched his back.

I got up too quickly and neglected my old problem, which resulted in injuring my back again.

Hearing the commotion, the person waiting at the door immediately opened the door and rushed in, disregarding everything else.

Seeing that Tsuchikage was clutching his waist, he knew exactly what had happened and quickly went over to help the old man up.

After being helped up, Tsuchikage Onoki quickly formed a hand seal.

Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique

Immediately afterwards, the Tsuchikage's body seemed to defy gravity and slowly floated into the air. As his body weight was reduced, the pain in his waist was also greatly relieved.

The old man, Tsuchikage, rubbed his lower back with lingering fear, and looked down at the newcomer, asking:

"What's the situation outside? How many enemies have invaded?"

The newcomer was a plump man dressed in a reddish-brown outfit. Facing the Tsuchikage's question, he remained calm and articulate, stating clearly, "Lord Tsuchikage, the attackers began their assault from the east side of the village. So far, we have detected five individuals, all highly skilled, using various ninjutsu. Their origins are unknown."

As Tsuchikage listened to the fat man's reply, he flew away. After the fat man finished answering, he asked, "Where's the barrier? Didn't the barrier team notice anything unusual?"

The fat man shook his head. "The people in the barrier team didn't detect anything unusual beforehand. It seems the newcomer used an unknown method to bypass the barrier."

Upon hearing the fat man's words, the old Tsuchikage immediately increased his flying speed, gritting his teeth as he said, "Damn it, I'll make you pay! Quickly notify all the Jonin in the village; unless they're on duty in important departments, assemble here!" After saying that, he ignored the fat man and flew directly out of the window.

When the old Tsuchikage flew into the air, he also discovered the location of the intruders. Indeed, both the Fire Dragon Technique and the Lightning Release were very conspicuous in the darkness. Then, the Tsuchikage rushed in that direction.

Chapter 159 Dust Escape - The Technique of Detaching from the Primal World

Chapter 159 Dust Escape - The Technique of Detaching the Primal World

Standing atop a rocky mountain peak, Uchiha Kakuyama was quietly admiring his masterpiece when he suddenly noticed a small figure flying in from afar. Although it was late at night and the area was shrouded in darkness, most people wouldn't have been able to spot Onoki flying in from a distance.

However, all of this was clearly seen by Uchiha Kakuzan's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, the Uchiha clan relies on their eyes for a living, so how could their observation skills be weak?

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw the short figure in the distance, his eyes lit up. It could fly, and with its unusual height, there was no doubt that it was Onoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.

However, Uchiha Kakuyama still possessed the camouflage invisibility technique, so he wasn't afraid of being discovered by the Tsuchikage. He simply stood there quietly, waiting for him to approach.

Because the situation was urgent, the old Tsuchikage didn't wait for the Jonin of Iwagakure to gather and flew over directly using the Light-Heavy Rock Technique.

When the Tsuchikage saw the scene, he was furious, his eyes widening in anger.

These invaders are all damned bastards. Like mudskippers, they don't even fight the Iwagakure ninjas. Instead, they keep using large-scale ninjutsu around them: Fire Dragon Technique, Great Waterfall Technique, Earth Dragon Technique, Earth Flow River Technique, and Great Fire Annihilation Technique. They release them around as if they're free.

After releasing one, they quickly ran to another place, fearing that they would be entangled by the ninjas of Iwagakure.

In just a short while, they destroyed one-tenth of the buildings in Iwagakure, and about one-fifth of the area was also affected.

The old Tsuchikage witnessed all of this and felt his heart bleed. You see, Iwagakure is different from Konoha. It was built in this remote corner for safety. It is safe, but communication with the outside world is very difficult. Its main income comes from the funds given by the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the missions performed by the Iwagakure ninja.

The development and expansion of Iwagakure was already difficult, and after the invaders' disturbance, all the work done by Iwagakure in the past few years has been for nothing. This is enough to make Onoki, the Tsuchikage, want to vomit blood.

Moreover, these invaders are simply disgusting. Not only do they use large-scale ninjutsu without restraint, but they also move from place to place after each shot, driving the Iwagakure ninjas who came to surround and intercept them crazy.

The old Tsuchikage, being on high ground, had a clearer view. He decided to ignore everything else for now and focus on eliminating those who used the most destructive power.

The Tsuchikage first glanced around, then flew directly to the vicinity of the intruder using Earth Release. He snorted coldly, estimated the intruder's location, and immediately formed hand seals.

Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique

As the Third Tsuchikage unleashed his ninjutsu, the small intruder on the ground felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Although he was still moving, his movement was much slower.

The Iwagakure ninjas nearby, seeing the intruder's actions, knew she had been hit by the Third Tsuchikage's ninjutsu. Their eyes lit up, like kittens seeing fish that had been caught stealing fish. They all swarmed around and began to use their ninjutsu on the intruder.

"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear"

"Earth Escape - Rock Stealing Stick"

"Earth Escape - Landslide"

Various offensive and control ninjutsu techniques flew towards the small intruder's figure like moths to a flame.

The diminutive invader quickly changed tactics and switched to a different ninjutsu.

"Earth Escape - Earth Spear"

In an instant, his entire body turned into a glassy black, not only blocking multiple ninjutsu from the Iwagakure ninjas but also deflecting some of them, causing chaos among the surrounding people.
