Konoha: Uchiha's Magnificent Rebellion

Chapter 96 The Purpose of the Cloud Ninja

That night, Princess Tsunade escorted Yuri Sarutobi back to the village with a team of guards.

The support troops she brought rushed to the front position after resting in the camp for a night.

Expecting a large-scale war to break out, Konoha's frontline troops remained on high alert for several days.

But what was unexpected was that after the surprise attack that killed Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Kumogakure had been holding its ground and had not launched an offensive.

Only patrolling ninjas occasionally encountered each other between the two sides' positions, resulting in small-scale conflicts.

In the rear camp, inside Uchiha Yuan's tent.

"Strange, what the hell is Kumogakure doing?"

Looking at the information coming from the front, Yamanaka Kino frowned, unable to understand why the Kumogakure offensive suddenly stopped.

"Could it be that the negotiations between Kumogakure and Iwagakure have broken down?"

Akimichi said as he tore into a huge piece of barbecue.

"possible."

Yamanaka Kino added, "But according to intelligence, there has been no movement at the front lines where the village is facing Iwagakure. Iwagakure has been quietly maintaining a defensive position."

Moonlight Flowing Wind took a sip of tea and said, "Whatever Iwagakure does, it shouldn't affect us here. However, Cloudgakure's actions are indeed strange. Given the character of these militant people, they would actually retreat after defeating our three lines of defense."

Yamanaka Kino said, "Perhaps Kumogakure can no longer hold on, but they don't want to negotiate peace with us?"

Uchiha Yuan sat quietly, listening to the discussion of Yamanaka Kino and others.

Akimichi said with an angry expression, "If the Kumo Ninja couldn't hold on any longer, why did they launch such a large-scale offensive? Now that Captain Shinnosuke has died in the raid, we can't negotiate peace with them."

Yamanaka Kino's eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtful. "I always feel that the sudden attack by Kumogakure has some purpose?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought, wondering about the reason behind Yunyin's strange behavior.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Daohai felt a headache and was completely confused. He couldn't understand why Yunyin suddenly stopped the attack.

He turned his gaze to the others, then saw Uchiha Yuan, and said, "Master Yuan, the assassination team of the Cloud Ninja has not appeared recently. Have they given up?"

When Yamanaka Kino heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he looked at Uchiha Yuan and said, "I understand, the target of Kumogakure is probably Lord Yuan."

"Ok?"

"What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

After hearing what Yamanaka Kino said, everyone asked questions.

Yamanaka Kino said: "Everyone knows that Kumogakure has a strong desire for revenge. This time, their Fourth Raikage was injured by Master Fuyuki. This is an unbearable humiliation for Kumogakure, so they frequently send assassination teams to attack Master Fuyuki."

After a pause, Yamanaka Kino seemed to have a clearer mind and continued, "So the Cloud Ninja's surprise attack was an act of retaliation, to let us know that even if the Fourth Raikage was repelled, they, the Cloud Ninja, are still not to be trifled with.

Hai's words just now made me realize that the Kumogakure assassination team has indeed not appeared for some time, but has the Kumogakure ninja really given up on assassinating Master Yuan? "

"I don't think it's possible. I even think the next assassination attempt by the Kumo Ninja might be very violent."

"Now Kumogakure is no longer launching offensives, but they continue to send out a large number of patrol ninjas every day. I feel that they are doing this to distract the attention of the frontline positions."

Moonlight Liufeng was startled and stood up suddenly and said, "Kino, you mean that if there is a Cloud Ninja assassination team, the leader may be a big figure in the Cloud Ninja."

Yamanaka Kino nodded, "That's right. After all, only by killing Master Yuan can the shame of the Kumo Ninja be removed."

Then he looked at Uchiha Yuan and said, "Lord Yuan, I think we should inform Lord Jiraiya of our speculation."

Uchiha Yuan smiled and said, "Staff Officer Kino, although there is a slight possibility, do you think Master Jiraiya will believe it?

I believe that some high-ranking figure of the Cloud Ninja, out of revenge, led his team all the way to the rear of our position, regardless of danger, just to kill me.

Genin can be sacrificed at will, but I don't think the Kumo Ninja will easily put their high-end combat power into danger."

After a while, Yamanaka Kino and others left the tent.

Pharmacist Nono came in with medicine, and then he skillfully examined Uchiha Yuan and gave him an injection.

After a while, pharmacist Nono put away the syringe and prepared to leave.

But after she took two steps, she suddenly turned around with a look of hesitation on her face.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yuan asked, "Doctor Pharmacist, do you have anything to say?"

Pharmacist Nono was about to speak, but hesitated. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master Yuan, the test data related to your body has been taken away."

Uchiha Yuan looked at Yakushi Nono, his eyes were calm, but there was an aura of majesty without anger.

“Who took it?”

Although Uchiha Yuan's voice was calm and peaceful, Yakushi Nono felt an indescribable power.

This kind of power is what Master Yuan did when he defeated the Fourth Raikage.

Yakushi Nono said softly, "Lord Orochimaru sent someone to take it away. I thought about it and felt that I should tell you about this."

During Uchiha Yuan's treatment during this period, Pharmacist Nono was very clear that her medical methods only played an auxiliary role. The most crucial thing was the chakra from Uchiha Yuan himself, which provided him with strong and huge vitality.

Uchiha Yuan did not deliberately hide this, and Yakushi Nono did not ask about it actively. Both sides maintained a tacit understanding.

Therefore, every time Yakushi Nono examined Uchiha Yuan's body, he was also observing the changes in his various body data under this chakra.

Yakushi Nono felt that the powerful aura shrouding the tent suddenly disappeared, and he could not help but look at Uchiha Yuan in surprise.

Uchiha Yuan said: "So it's Senior Orochimaru. Since he wants it, let him take it."

Uchiha Yuan had long realized that Orochimaru was very interested in him. When he learned that it was Orochimaru who sent someone to take away his physical test data, he did not feel surprised at all, but was very calm.

In fact, he had already expected this situation, otherwise he could have simply prevented Pharmacist Nono from examining her body, or asked her to destroy the data.

He was setting a bait for Orochimaru in order to facilitate future cooperation between the two.

Uchiha Yuan believed that Orochimaru would definitely be interested in his body for practicing immortal arts.

Two days later, at night.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Uchiha Yuan led a team of guards to patrol around the camp.

In the past two days, a fierce battle broke out on the front line. The Cloud Ninja launched an attack on the Konoha position for two consecutive days. The offensive was so fierce that it almost broke the defense line arranged by Konoha.

Walking in a grassy field on the west side of the camp, Uchiha Yuan suddenly turned around and looked at the woods in the distance.

"who!"

Following Uchiha Yuan's loud shout, several strong gusts of wind suddenly rushed out from the woods.

Then several figures flashed and stood around Kusano, surrounding Uchiha Yuan and others.

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 97: Kirabi's Pursuit

"Cloud Ninja!"

"Oh no, it's the Cloud Ninja assassination team!"

The patrolling Konoha ninjas all picked up their weapons in a defensive posture, staring vigilantly at the Cloud ninjas that appeared around them.

Uchiha Yuan did not look at the Cloud Ninjas that appeared, but stared at the deep woods in front of him.

"No need to hide. This familiar salty smell of the sea, it's you, Kirabi."

Swish!

A gust of wind shot out from the woods, and the next moment, several fierce sounds of metal clashing were heard quickly.

Immediately after the strong wind subsided, a burly figure was seen slashing down with a knife in both hands, but Uchiha Yuan blocked the blade by holding a kunai in both hands.

"Hey, Uchiha brother, you are wrong. Hachiko is not an octopus, he is a cow."

As Kirabi spoke, he increased the force of his sword and suddenly the two kunai were cut in half by the sharp blade.

Art fire escape ho fireball.

Seeing that the kunai was about to be cut off, Uchiha Yuan did not form any hand seals, but instead circulated his chakra and opened his mouth to spit out a red fireball.

Kirabi flew backwards to avoid the fireball that suddenly hit him.

Hey, it’s actually a non-series ninjutsu. Interesting.

Killer Bee stood under a dead tree, staring at Uchiha Yuan and said secretly.

Uchiha Yuan also looked at Killer Bee and thought to himself: It seems that Chief of Staff Kino guessed right. I didn't expect that the Hidden Cloud Village has such a strong murderous intention towards me.

"Kirabi, I didn't expect to meet you here. Kumogakure actually allowed you to sneak into our rear positions. Aren't Kumogakure afraid that you will be exposed and surrounded by us?"

Killer Bee showed a serious look and said, "Uchiha brother, I am here to kill you."

Uchiha Yuan said calmly, "As expected, your assassination team from Kumogakure has failed so many times before, I never thought they would send you this time.

I am truly delighted that Yunyin attaches so much importance to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlwind suddenly blew up from around Uchiha Yuan, like a volcano about to erupt, and a majestic and powerful force quickly emerged from Uchiha Yuan's body.

Kirabi showed an excited smile and also burst out with powerful power.

The energies of both sides collided, creating gusts of strong wind around them.

Kirabi said: "Brother really wants to kill you."

Uchiha Yuan's momentum continued to rise, and a kunai slipped into his hand.

"So after many failed assassination attempts, I couldn't bear it anymore and let you come."

A long sword popped out from Kirabi's back and landed in his other hand.

"That's right, Uchiha Yuan, we don't want to see a second Uchiha Madara appear, so you must die!"

Wow!

There was a sound of wind like a burst of waves, and Killer Bee's figure flashed and appeared in front of Uchiha Yuanfang. He swung his sword with both hands and suddenly there was a flash of sword light as if covered by a big net.

Uchiha Yuan waved the kunai with both hands, and in an instant countless black rays flashed, interweaving with the flashes of swords and sabers amid the sound of metal clashing like a storm.

The fierce attack between the two people set off gusts of strong wind, and wild energy surged around, blowing up grass and leaves all over the sky, and crisscrossing scratches appeared on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang and then a figure flew out.

It’s Uchiha Yuan.

Only the handle of the kunai in his hand remained, and the rest of it exploded in the violent collision.

It seems that I have to find a sturdy and handy weapon when I have the chance. Ordinary kunai are too fragile.

As Uchiha Yuan's feet landed on the ground, the ground shook violently, and a spider-web-like radiating crack suddenly appeared within a radius of dozens of meters.

Almost at the same time, Uchiha Yuan's right hand stretched out as fast as lightning and grabbed the incoming kunai.

The kunai also carried a detonating talisman, which was burning rapidly and was about to explode.

"Back to you!"

Uchiha Yuan threw the kunai backhandedly, and it immediately pierced into the chest of a Cloud Ninja in the distance like a black lightning. Then the flames of the detonating talisman engulfed his figure.

At the same time, Uchiha Yuan saw that all the Konoha ninjas who followed him on patrol had fallen in the battle with the Cloud Ninjas, and their life or death was unknown.

"Thunder Release Four Pillar Binding Technique."

Four Cloud Ninjas flashed and appeared around Uchiha Yuan, and at the same time, they formed hand seals to create a transparent barrier surrounded by lightning.

boom!

A crimson blade flashed within the lightning barrier, and the entire barrier collapsed with a loud bang, with countless arcs of lightning scattering in all directions.

Without the lightning barrier, Uchiha Yuan's eyes suddenly became clear, but at this moment, a warning suddenly arose in his heart, and then he sensed a terrible murderous intent locking onto him.

"Ink Cannon!"

Uchiha Yuan only saw a huge bull head, and then saw a huge beam of light shooting out from it.

He immediately realized that this was Killer Bee activating Tailed Beast Mode.

Boom!

The beam of light instantly engulfed Uchiha Yuan's position, and the huge explosion set off a violent shock wave that swept in all directions.

In Konoha's rear camp, a huge explosion suddenly woke everyone up, and then everyone saw a blazing beam of light shooting up into the sky.
