Born with a great love for the Uchiha

"Furthermore, the village and Konoha have signed a ceasefire agreement—"

"It's ok."

With a wave of his hand, Ai said that ever since Minato Namikaze died, he looked down on everyone else.

"Kumakushi Village is the strongest!"

……

"Are the idiots in Kumogakure all muscle in their brains?"

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage's Office.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, frowned deeply as he looked at the war loss analysis report in his hand.

"They've been fighting for so many years, and they still won't stop!"

As time goes by.

The blood feud between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is almost turning into a blood feud!

However, Lightning Release counters Earth Release.

Therefore, overall, Iwagakure suffered greater losses on the battlefield than Kumogakure.

If it weren't for Onoki's continuous "troop buildup" over the years...

Iwagakure was already on the verge of collapse...

"This won't do. I need to get a new intelligence and a fresh perspective."

Onoki casually reached out and grabbed a scroll of Konoha's intelligence data from his desk.

"Let me see... Is Shimura Danzo dead?"

Onoki paused, blinked, and looked again.

The intelligence data clearly states that Gen Uchiha publicly beheaded Danzo Shimura.

"This young man!"

Onoki tossed the intelligence scroll aside.

"A kid in his teens killed Shimura Danzo!"

"What was I doing when I was thirteen?"

Onoki reminisces about the past.

When he was thirteen, he apparently went to Konoha with his master, Mu, to conduct alliance diplomacy.

...Then he and his master were both beaten to a pulp by Madara Uchiha.

"Why is it the Uchiha again?"

Onoki couldn't help but rub his bright red nose.

"How could the Uchiha be so evil?!"

Just then.

Rumble!!!

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out outside the Tsuchikage's office.

Onoki could even feel the floor beneath his feet vibrating slightly.

"What happened?!"

Ōnoki was startled and instinctively used the [Light and Heavy Rock Technique] to float into the air.

"The Uchiha have attacked?"

A member of the Iwagakure ANBU appeared.

"Reporting to the Third Hokage, it is... your disciple Deidara, whose birds have crashed into two buildings."

"Deidara!"

Several veins bulged on Onoki's forehead instantly.

That brat is always either causing explosions or on his way to causing explosions.

They even call it "art"!

The villagers all consider Deidara a terrorist!

"Get that brat over here!"

Onoki roared angrily.

"I've already warned him! If he sets off any more explosions in the village, he'll be kicked out!"

"Yes!"

An Iwagakure ANBU member received the order and immediately left the office.

On their way to find Deidara, the Iwagakure ANBU accidentally discovered a mother and child walking towards the village gate.

But the mission was urgent, and he quickly put the "mother and son with glasses" out of his mind.

Inside Iwagakure's office.

Onoki summoned a new ANBU member and, with a pained expression, approved a sum of money for hiring him.

"Contact the Akatsuki! Let them bleed out the Hidden Cloud Village!"

……

Rain-Hidden Village.

Within the mental space constructed by the [Illusion Body Technique].

The members of the Akatsuki organization received an urgent summons from their leader and gathered together once again.

Payne publicly announced that he had received a new mission from Iwagakure.

"Iwagakure hired us, Akatsuki, to join the war against Kumogakure."

Upon hearing this, Kakuzu, who had been looking impatient, instantly became interested.

"What are the hiring fees for Iwagakure? Are they paid daily or per person? How much does a Jonin cost?"

Kakuzu's wallet is itching for a bite!

Pain explained the hiring requirements of Iwagakure.

Then another topic was brought up.

"Konoha's...Shimura Danzo is dead..."

When Nagato, who was hiding behind Pain, said those words, his feelings were quite complicated.

all the time.

Nagato considered Shimura Danzo as one of the enemies who had to be eliminated.

In Nagato's eyes, Danzo Shimura's "hatred level" was second only to Hanzo the Salamander!

Nagato will never forget that day—

Hanzo the Salamander colluded with Danzo Shimura to ambush Yahiko at the site of the peace talks with Akatsuki, ultimately leading to Yahiko's death!

Nagato originally planned to deal with Hanzo the Salamander before personally going to Konoha to collect the Nine-Tails and take revenge on Danzo Shimura.

The result was completely unexpected.

Danzo Shimura died so early!

"Shimura Danzo is dead? That Dark Shinobi?"

Kakuzu, who had just been very excited, suddenly frowned.

"How much was his bounty again? I remember many ninja villages issued bounties for Shimura Danzo!"

"I never expected him to die at the hands of a fellow villager! What a waste of money!"

“Kakuzu, even if Shimura Danzo hadn’t died at the hands of the Uchiha, you wouldn’t have had the chance to kill him.”

Pipa Juzo, carrying a slaying sword, spoke with a gloating tone.

"However, Konoha has finally produced a decent ninja."

"Uchiha Gen? I'll remember him!"

"If you ask me, what's the big deal about killing Shimura Danzo? We should have killed Sarutobi Hiruzen too!"

"Juzo-kun, have you forgotten that I'm still here?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, his hoarse voice carrying a chill.

"Whether it's Uchiha Gen or my teacher... they are all my prey!"

"Your prey? Hehe!"

Bai Jue smiled and joined the conversation.

"Orochimaru, I already know!"

"Your combined forces with Shimura Danzo were defeated by Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Shisui!"

Orochimaru fell silent and did not reply.

Bai Jue deliberately shouted loudly again.

"Orochimaru, you're getting completely thrashed by the Uchiha! You can only escape by burrowing underground!"

"Absolutely brilliant!"

Orochimaru glared at the vegetative man, veins bulging on his forehead, and argued.

"A tactical retreat doesn't count as running away... Running away!... Can something involving ninjas be considered running away?"

Then came a string of incomprehensible remarks, such as "the Sharingan's genjutsu is too overpowered" and "the black flames are too powerful," which caused the Akatsuki members to burst into laughter.

The mental space of the [Illusion Body Technique] was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

“Uchiha Gen...we need to keep an eye on him.”
