Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

Rogue Ninja

When others suspect you of betraying the village, you'd better actually betray the village.

Everyone sees Uchiha Ryo as the next Uchiha Madara.

They're so alike—equally powerful, equally arrogant, and equally willful.

Uchiha Ryo knew that one of the rumors about him was that he would betray the village like Uchiha Madara.

Now Sarutobi has brought this rumor to light and made it public.

Uchiha Ryo didn't even have the desire to explain, because he had decided that he would always talk about betraying the village from now on.

If we disagree, I'll betray the village.

I don't eat beef, what are you going to do about it?

"Sarutobi Kuran! You accused me of leading a group deep into the Land of Wind without permission and rewriting your language! Otherwise, I would betray the village! You are the culprit who caused me to betray the village!"

Uchiha Fumon rushed over and tried to cover Uchiha Ryo's mouth.

When Madara Uchiha betrayed the village last time, Tobirama Senju never forgave the Uchiha clan until his death. If it happened again, how would the Uchiha clan survive in the village?

A sand-iron snake emerged from Uchiha Ryo's sleeve and coiled around Uchiha Fumon's wrist.

"What are you afraid of! Uchiha Fumon! You have Sharingan too, where's your pride?"

Cheer up! Don't embarrass yourself!

Sarutobizo closed his eyes in pain.

He... he really had no way to deal with Uchiha Ryo's betrayal of the village.

Let alone him, even if Hiruzen, the clan leader, were here now, he wouldn't dare to force Uchiha Ryo to betray the village.

[A ninja has breached their defenses nearby. The defense breach system is activating...]

Uchiha Ryo heard Sarutobi Zango break down again.

See? People still can't have weaknesses.

Sarutobi was the nominal commander-in-chief on the front lines. After the war, Uchiha Ryo was nothing, but Sarutobi had to bear all the responsibility.

Everyone else can act recklessly, Uchiha Ryo can do whatever he wants, but Sarutobi Zango can only suppress himself.

Moreover, Ryo Uchiha doesn't care about the Uchiha clan; the Uchiha clan is safer.

If he considers the Uchiha clan his weakness, then the Uchiha clan is doomed.

Uchiha Rin's chakra level increased from 646.2 calories to 653.3 calories.

Sarutobi felt a fishbone stuck in his throat and slowly asked, "Supreme Commander... I wonder how the operation deep into the Land of Wind went?"

In fact, Sarutobi had some undercover agents within the military, but the intelligence he gathered in secret was certainly not as reliable as what Uchiha Ryo said in person.

There are many details that the chuunibyou (lower-ranking ninja) cannot understand.

Uchiha Ryo smiled and said, "That's more like it. Do you think I, Uchiha Ryo, am someone who's hard to talk to?"

Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll show you.

Uchiha Ryo took out a scroll and pushed it to Sarutobi Zang.

He did not write about the second battle with Shukaku in the scroll, nor did he write about Shukaku's death.

No one saw that battle, and no one will ever know about it.

Sarutobizo carefully examined the scroll.

When Sarutobi saw the monk Bunpuku die in front of Uchiha Ryo and release Shukaku, he felt extremely nervous.

The reason why the Five Great Ninja Villages are called the Five Great Ninja Villages is because each of the Five Great Ninja Villages has a stable lineage of multiple Kage-level ninjas.

In Sarutobi's view, Amegakure could never become the sixth greatest ninja village, and with Hanzo's death, Amegakure would rapidly decline.

The Sand Village has many Kage-level ninja lineages, including Magnet Release, top-tier puppetry, and Shukaku.

Sunagakure is undoubtedly very strong.

The scroll says that Uchiha Ryo fought a great battle with Shukaku, and the aftershocks of the battle alone caused incalculable damage to Sunagakure.

Finally, Uchiha Ryo said he was too exhausted and had to withdraw his troops.

This aligns with Sarutobi's assessment: Uchiha Ryo is strong, but he couldn't single-handedly wipe out an entire village.

Looking at the description of the battle, Sarutobi suddenly felt worried. If the enemy attacked Konoha and the village released the Nine-Tails, and the Nine-Tails clashed with the enemy outside the village, he wondered how serious the damage the village would suffer.

The Nine-Tailed Fox is much stronger than the One-Tailed Shukaku.

At the end of the scroll, Sarutobizo saw some promotion recommendations.

Uchiha Ryo recommended nine Chunin, including Nanzo and Tokusen, to become Special Jonin.

Special Jonin is a reward for veteran Chunin who has served for many years. It is not as important as Jonin, but each Special Jonin is personally appointed by the Hiruzen clan leader.

Sarutobi looked up and saw Uchiha Ryo's cold gaze.

He quickly lowered his head and swallowed hard.

"The fact that Sunagakure suffered such heavy damage proves the strength of our Konoha Village, and we should indeed reward some Chunin."

I will send this recommendation for promotion to Special Jonin to the Hokage without any changes.

Uchiha Ryo nodded. Sarutobi Zang is quite sensible. You have to put pressure on people; otherwise, they'll take advantage of you.

Uchiha Fumon said from the side, "Commander Sarutobi, Kakashi Hatake has been promoted to Jonin."

I think that with Uchiha Ryo's strength and battle achievements, he should be able to be promoted to Jonin.

"Commander-in-Chief Sarutobi, why don't you recommend Uchiha Ryo to become a Jonin as well?"

Although Uchiha Fumon didn't want to see Uchiha Rin getting too cocky, he still wanted to fight for the honor and status that was rightfully his.

Uchiha Ryo was very surprised. He didn't expect Kakashi to have been promoted to Jonin. Could it be that Kakashi had already gone to carry out the Kannabi Bridge mission?

It shouldn't be. The original storyline underwent a major change due to the powerful rise of Uchiha Ryo.

This time, there was no internal strife between Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Iwagakure did not suffer heavy losses due to the Third Raikage, but instead focused all its forces on Konoha.

Destroying Iwagakure's supply points, similar to the Uchiha clan's destruction of Sunagakure's supply depots, is unlikely to force the Iwagakure to retreat; at most, it will only delay their offensive.

The Battle of Kannabi Bridge was able to change the course of the war because Iwagakure was fighting on two fronts and suffered heavy losses in the war against Kumogakure.

He wondered if Madara Uchiha had made a move against Obito Uchiha. He asked, "Kakashi Hatake completed a few S-rank missions, and he dared to become a Jonin before me?"

Mokume Kōdō was very interested in Minato and Kakashi, and he had seen Kakashi's mission in the intelligence summary.

Mokumu Kōdō said, "Kakashi developed a lightning ninjutsu called Chidō, which, when combined with the White Fang short sword, has a resemblance to the White Fang of yesteryear and is very dazzling on the front lines."

During a mission behind enemy lines, his teammate Obito Uchiha sacrificed himself for Kakashi, giving him one of his Sharingan eyes.

Kakashi's strength has increased, so the Hokage granted him the rank of Jonin.

After speaking, Kōdō looked at Uchiha Fumon, wondering if the Uchiha clan would approve of this gift of the Sharingan.

Uchiha Fumon did not react; he was completely unconcerned about Uchiha Obito's death.

If Obito Uchiha hadn't been intimidated by Minato Namikaze's student, Fumon Uchiha wouldn't have known him.

Uchiha Ryo's eyes flickered.

It still happened. The Ninja World War was too intense, and he didn't have a chance to pay attention to things happening elsewhere.

Obito Uchiha should have already left with Madara Uchiha.

Years later, Obito Uchiha will unleash the Nine-Tails' rampage, his power will grow to a terrifying level, he will summon the Nine-Tails, and in a one-on-one fight against Minato Namikaze, he will be slightly defeated.

Uchiha Fumon reiterated: "Sarutobi Zango is hesitant again about Uchiha Ryo's promotion to Jonin."

Uchiha Ryo certainly has the ability to become a Jonin, but the Jonin qualification is decided by a vote at the Jonin Team meeting.

I can't imagine how rampant Uchiha Ryo would be in the Jonin team meeting, how chaotic the meeting would become.

A voice rang out, startling Sarutobizo awake.

"I refuse!"

Uchiha Fumon looked at Uchiha Ryo in surprise. Why did Uchiha Ryo refuse on her own?

Uchiha Ryo said, "I said during the Chunin Exams that the qualification for Jonin must be witnessed and tested by the entire village."

"I will push forward the Jonin Exams, defeat all the Special Jonin and Chunin fair and square, and become a true Jonin!"

No, are you serious?

Wasn't that something you said in anger when you were a child?

Sarutobi and Nara-kichi exchanged a glance, both feeling that this was not a decision they could make.

Can Uchiha Ryo force the village to change its policies and force the Hokage to relinquish his power to appoint Jonin?

Sarutobi said, "Let's wait for the Hokage to decide. Let's wait a little longer... Konoha camp on the battlefield of Takigakure."

Minato Namikaze walked into the command tent and paused for a moment.

The tent was completely empty. There was no deputy commander Danzo, no advisors, no ninja strategists, only the Third Hokage sitting behind a long table.

Minato Namikaze asked in a deep voice, "Hokage-sama, has the Iwa ninja made another big move?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were gentle; he was very satisfied with Minato Namikaze's performance. Minato, this child, thought Danzo was leading the team to deal with...

Iwa endured it.

Shuimen's first thought was the safety of the troops at the front.

"No, Minato. I've summoned you here because there's something very important I need to discuss with you privately."

Hiruzen Sarutobi received a battle report from the front lines in the Land of Rivers, learning that Ryo Uchiha had led his troops in a surprise attack on Sunagakure.

Sarutobi Zang said that more and more people in the army were worshipping Uchiha Ryo, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen very uneasy.

As Uchiha Ryo's strength grows, he must cultivate new powerful individuals to counterbalance Uchiha Ryo.

After much deliberation, the only person who could possibly rival Uchiha Ryo was Namikaze Minato.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wrote a letter to Jiraiya, requesting that Jiraiya teach Minato Sage Mode.

Uchiha Ryo obtained Sage Mode from Orochimaru, that traitorous disciple. To fight against Uchiha Ryo, one must also learn Sage Mode.

Jiraiya said that he had taught Minato Sage Mode a long time ago, but Minato wasn't very good at it.

Jiraiya made the request again, asking Minato to learn the forbidden techniques from the Book of Seals.

This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seizing the opportunity, had no choice but to agree to Jiraiya's request and appease him.

"Minato, Jiraiya used to train you, but lately I've been in frequent contact with you and I'm starting to respect you more and more."

Your temperament and your will to fire have greatly pleased me.

Jiraiya said you are the most perfect ninja, and I agree with Jiraiya's judgment.

Now I'll ask you one last question... Minato Namikaze is very excited.

A few years ago, Jiraiya said he wanted to get his hands on a forbidden technique, and he was absolutely certain of it.

If the Fourth Shinobi World War breaks out, the village will definitely need Kage-level ninjas. To be honest, this is not a difficult task.

Unfortunately, things did not go as the teacher had hoped.

Now the Hokage has finally spoken out.

"Please ask."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Minato, if someone in the village wanted to betray the village, what would you choose to do?"

Minato Namikaze raised his head, his eyes cold.

"The war situation is so dire that so many children like Obito Uchiha have sacrificed themselves."

I absolutely will not allow anyone to harm Konoha at this time.

It's not allowed now, and it won't be allowed in the future.

If anyone harms the village, I will kill him with my own hands!

Seeing the killing intent in Minato Namikaze's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.

Obito Uchiha's death had nothing to do with Hiruzen Sarutobi. He did indeed give Danzo the order to kill Obito Uchiha before the war ended.

To prevent the Uchiha clan from continuing to seize power in the village, it is unacceptable for a Jonin like Minato Namikaze to have an Uchiha disciple.

Obito Uchiha died on the front lines, and Danzo was absolutely certain that he wasn't the one who did it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Minato, we have achieved a great victory on the front lines of the Land of Rivers."

The Konoha forces reached the entrance to Sunagakure, destroyed the village's walls, and ruined one-fifth of the village.

This was originally a great thing.

However, Uchiha Ryo, who led the war in the Land of Rivers, said that if his demands were not met, he would become a rogue ninja.

Minato, you're too young to know how much damage Madara Uchiha's betrayal of the village caused.

The village originally possessed two powerful figures, the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, who dominated the ninja world, giving them the opportunity to go even further and completely...

Destroy all enemies in Konoha.

However, Madara Uchiha betrayed the village and later returned with the Nine-Tails to fight the First Hokage.

Although the First Generation Lord won, he was greatly exhausted and soon passed away.

Since then, the village's situation has deteriorated rapidly, and it is now regarded as an easy target by other ninja villages and besieged by several other major ninja villages.

The tragedy of Madara Uchiha must never be repeated.

Uchiha Ryo is so much like Uchiha Madara, both in temperament and strength, he seems to be the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara.

Minato, I now grant you the opportunity to view the Book of Seals.

You choose one of the techniques.

After mastering the forbidden techniques, you must become the pillar of the village, sheltering it from the wind and rain, and eliminating its enemies.

Minato Namikaze's expression was cold and stern as he began to recall his past with Ryo Uchiha.

Uchiha Rin is undoubtedly very strong, his strength far surpassing Kakashi's.

Kakashi became a Jonin at the age of 11, while Ryo Uchiha had the strength of a Kage-level ninja at the age of 11.

Minato Namikaze and Ryo Uchiha also discussed the Rasengan. He felt that Ryo Uchiha had an flamboyant personality and was extremely aggressive, but...

It's said that Uchiha Ling betrayed the village... at least at the time, it wasn't obvious.

Minato Namikaze speculated that, given Ryo Uchiha's personality, he might have just said it to scare people.

Uchiha Ryo is someone who's always shouting and making a ruckus.

However, since the Hokage has asked him to keep an eye on Uchiha Ryo, he will take this matter seriously and will absolutely not allow Uchiha Ryo to harm Konoha.

Konoha was everything to him; he loved Konoha to the core.

Especially after the baptism of this war, he cherished the peace of Konoha Village even more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi bit his finger, formed hand seals, and summoned a large scroll.

This is the legendary Book of Seals of Konoha, which records all the forbidden techniques passed down in Konoha.

Opening the forbidden technique catalog, Minato Namikaze directly searched for the forbidden techniques he and his teacher Jiraiya had chosen.

When he first learned the Summoning Jutsu, he summoned Fukasaku, the Sage with the largest amount of chakra.

Jiraiya and Fukasaku were both astonished by Minato Namikaze's talent.

Summoning Jutsu is a space-time ninjutsu, and Minato Namikaze's space-time talent is qualitatively different from that of ordinary ninjas.

Jiraiya-sensei said he wanted him to learn the most advanced forbidden space-time technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Lord Hokage, I choose the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not surprised by this, as Jiraiya had praised Minato's space-time talent to him several times.

He opened the scroll and rolled it up to the part about the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"You can look at it here, take your time, no rush. I'll give you two hours, and no one will bother us."

Remember the entire contents of this technique; do not teach it to anyone else without my permission.

"Unfortunately, my spatial and temporal talents are only average, so I cannot guide you."

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will study the Flying Thunder God Technique with all my might and defeat Iwagakure."

On the border of the Land of Wind, Ebizo, accompanied by his negotiators, stood with a bitter expression in his eyes.

I wonder if we can reach a peace agreement with Konoha.

Uchiha Ryo... is a very enigmatic person.

When Ebizo entered the camp, he was momentarily dazed.

This camp was originally the front-line camp of the Sand Village, and the tents were all arranged in the exact same positions; the Leaf Village did not make any changes.

o

The Sand Ninja retreated in haste, suffering a crushing defeat and taking nothing with them, which benefited the Konoha forces.

At the end of the central road, where the Kazekage's command tent once stood, the emblem of Konoha Village is now displayed.

He could even recognize that the third tent on the left was originally his tent.

On both sides of the road stood many Konoha ninjas, coldly watching him.

He wasn't worried about his own safety; he only brought two assistants with him to discuss peace terms, showing great sincerity.

Along the way, only an unknown Chunin guided Ebizo, making him realize that this peace negotiation might not go very smoothly.

Upon entering the command tent, Hai Laozang paused.

Don't they even have the most basic respect?

When the two villages negotiate, they usually set up two long tables facing each other.

However, opposite him was a long table, and across the long table, in front of Ebizo, was only a simple stool without even armrests.

This doesn't look like peace talks between the two villages at all. It looks like Konoha is interrogating Ebizo.

Ebizo didn't care about his own dignity, but he couldn't let Sunagakure suffer such humiliation.

Ebizo stepped forward, but instead of sitting on the stool, he stood behind it, looking at the three people behind the long table and carefully observing their expressions.

Uchiha Ryo sat in the center, flanked by Sarutobi Zango and Mokume Kōdō.

Kōdō Mokume looked relaxed, suggesting he might not play a crucial role in the peace talks.

Sarutobi Kurō stared at himself with a serious expression.

Uchiha Ryo leaned back in the Iron Sand High-Backed Chair. Iron Sand Uchiha Ryo had actually used the great Magnet Release as a chair, and the high-backed chair even had the Sharingan three-tomoe emblem on it.

Ebizo waved his hand, signaling his assistant Maki to present the scroll personally written by the Kazekage.

Assistant Maki stepped forward and glanced at the three people behind the long table.

According to Ebizo's analysis, there must be a conflict between Konoha's strongest fighter, Uchiha Ryo, and the commander-in-chief, Sarutobi Zō.

At this point, the scroll of peace talks should be sent to Sarutobizo.

Maki approached Sarutobizo and, with a raised hand, presented the scroll.

"Um?"

A cold snort came from beside him, accompanied by chilling chakra, making Maki shudder.

He had long heard that Orochimaru's chakra was highly distinctive and sent chills down one's spine.

As Orochimaru's disciple, Uchiha Ryo's chakra sent a chill down Maki's spine.

A peculiar chakra was invading Maki's marrow. Maki focused his attention on the corner of his eye, not daring to look directly at Uchiha Rin.

and many more!

Maki suddenly realized that the cold snort seemed to be directed not at him, but at Sarutobizo.

These two were indeed deeply at odds.

Maki waited, but Sarutobizo didn't respond. Sarutobizo didn't even dare to take the scroll.

Left with no other choice, he took a step to the side and stood in front of Uchiha Ryo.

Only when Maki stood directly in front of Uchiha Ryo and faced his gaze did he truly understand what pressure was.

In just a few seconds, he felt his arms stiffen. He had unconsciously been using all his strength in both arms, as if the scroll weighed a ton.

Uchiha Ryo said, "Ebizo, if this is your attitude, then go back."

You didn't even personally deliver the peace negotiation scroll, are you perhaps a pro-war faction member of Sunagakure?

Are you deliberately provoking me to continue the war?

Who is this assistant, and what gives him the right to give me a scroll?

Peace talks? What a load of rubbish!

Maki lowered his head, his face twitching.

That's so humiliating!

I, Maki, am a special Jonin who is highly regarded by both the Kazekage and Advisor Chiyo!

The Kazekage praised my ninja skills highly and once said that I would be the Jonin to instruct the Kazekage's children!

The Kazekage's first child is about to be born, and Maki will soon become a Jonin. When has he ever suffered such humiliation in the village?

The Konoha Jonin inside the tent had various expressions.

Akimichi Gun and Yamanaka Ma, both members of the Nara Yoshio Ino-Shika-Cho trio, exchanged a glance and tacitly thought, "Just as I thought."

Uchiha Ryo was not going to show any mercy because of any Kazekage messenger; he unleashed his full power without any restraint.

Uchiha Fumon's facial features collapsed. Damn it, Ebizo may not be a pro-war faction in Sunagakure, but Uchiha Ryo is a pro-war faction in Konoha.

Everyone looked at Ebizo.

Unable to bear the blame for delaying the peace talks, Ebizo walked forward.

Every step he took was so heavy.

Ebizo took the scroll from Maki and handed it to Uchiha Ryo.

Uchiha Ryo smiled and said, "Now that's more like peace talks."

He took the reel and looked down at it.

Ebizo and Maki retreated behind the stools and waited patiently.

While looking at the scroll, Uchiha Ryo said, "An unconditional truce, not bad. Rasa still has some self-awareness."

Abandoning the Land of Rivers means not only refraining from deploying troops on the border, but also drawing the Sand Village ninja back to Sunagakure, ensuring they won't invade the Land of Rivers. That's alright, I guess.

but···"

Uchiha Ryo's tone changed, and he looked up at Ebizo.

"I'm waiting for the troops to rest, and I'm waiting for these disobedient Jonin in the tents to change their attitude and prepare for the second attack on Sunagakure."

What are you waiting for?

I have the upper hand; why should I abandon my attack just because of a peace negotiation agreement?
