Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 159 A Chance Encounter with Shizune (Please Subscribe)

"To participate in a war, one must be prepared for war. If you surrender to an insurmountable enemy, why should you do as you wish?"

Uchiha Yoichi, gripping the Raiga, slowly walked towards the Hotakage.

The small ninja village doesn't do much else, but it has perfectly imitated the habits of the big ninja villages. The last time he went to the Star Ninja Village, the Third Hokage was also wearing a shadow hat. It's a pity he didn't have the strength to wear that thing. Does it increase chakra?

"I went through so much trouble to get here from Konoha, and used up so much chakra. If I were to give up just because of a single word from you, what would you take yourself for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yoichi placed Raiga on the neck of the ninja, then shouted, "Raise your head!"

Tang Ying was startled and subconsciously looked up, but the next second he saw three tomoe slowly rotating in his blood-red pupils, and then his consciousness blurred.

The other ninja inside dared not make a move. They were so frightened that their legs went weak. They thought in fear, "Is this the strength of a great ninja village? He killed four cloud ninja in an instant, and they couldn't even react."

Even Akai, one of the stronger members of the Jashin Cult in the village, had his arm severed with a single strike, so no one else dared to make a move when they saw their leader being hypnotized by the Sharingan.

They feared that they would be killed with a single blow as soon as they formed the hand seals.

After being hypnotized by the Sharingan genjutsu, Uchiha Yoichi immediately asked, "What's the deal with the Fire Ninja's invasion of the Land of Fire this time?"

"This was done by Akai in conjunction with the Hidden Cloud Village. He's been trying to collect offerings for the evil god, but I only found out yesterday. However, Akai has already formed an alliance with the Hidden Cloud Village on behalf of the Hidden Hot Spring Village. If I object, I'll be killed by the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Cowardly good-for-nothing, can't even control his own subordinates, how many Cloud Ninja are left in the village?"

"Only four."

How many people in Tangren Village are followers of an evil cult? Are they all prepared to participate in the war?

"There are probably more than two hundred ninjas and civilians. The people who follow the evil god are becoming increasingly abnormal. They plan to dedicate everything to the evil god. I was recently planning to shut down the evil god cult, but Akai caught me off guard."

Uchiha Yoichi then asked a few more questions before breaking the genjutsu of the Kage.

This Tang Ying in front of me is too useless. His own village has been invaded by the evil god cult, and so many people have been developed. Moreover, the evil god cult is increasingly dissatisfied with the peaceful environment. Their doctrine requires offering fresh lives to the evil god in exchange for the ability to be immortal.

Some devout believers even offered themselves to the evil god, but such meager offerings still could not demonstrate their loyalty to the evil god; so Akai tried to persuade Yukage to join the war, but Yukage refused several times.

When the Cloud Ninja came looking for him, Akai decisively acted first and informed them later, offending Konoha first, and then binding the Yukage to the Cloud Ninja's war chariot. In this way, their Jashin Cult could obtain offerings to the Jashin during the war.

"You."

"Immediately gather all the members of the Evil God Cult and kill them. Do not spare the civilians either. If there is one less, I will randomly select one hundred 'lucky' villagers from Tangren Village."

As he spoke, Uchiha Yoichi walked up to Akai of the Jashin Cult and chopped off his head with a single stroke.

Even after Akai's head was severed, he was still praying for divine punishment from the evil god to take away Uchiha Yoichi, but two minutes later he became motionless and died completely.

It's a bit different from the immortality Hidan I remember, but being able to survive for two minutes after losing his head is still extremely rare even in the ninja world.

"Aren't you going to get to work? Do you intend to die with the followers of this evil cult?"

"You, sir, could it be that..."

Tang Ying stammered in alarm, but seeing Uchiha Yangyi's expression, he didn't ask the question, especially since he had the ninjas and civilians of Tang Village with him.

"I understand, I'll go right away."

"Remember to gather all the information on the evil god cult for me. Don't miss a single piece. Get it done before dawn."

Uchiha Yoichi said, "Killing them all wouldn't be a good idea, since there are many innocent people among them; but the Jashin Cult is a perfect target. These believers have gone mad, and they might even sacrifice their own parents for the sake of the Jashin Cult."

Moreover, the evil god cult gradually developed in Yugakure. Seeing them wiped out could deter the remaining Yugakure ninja and keep them away from war.

Subsequently, Tang Ying quickly arranged for people to gather all the members of the Evil God Cult in Tang Ninja Village.

Tang Ying asked, "Is everyone gathered?"

"It's all complete."

A ninja named Tang whispered in Tang Ying's ear.

"The suspects have all been apprehended; there's no need to say anything more."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Ying made a decision in her heart.

Subsequently, the members of the Evil God Cult were taken to an open space, and Tang Ying brought over all the information about the Evil God Cult with them.

Upon arriving beside Uchiha Yoichi, Tang Ying respectfully handed over the documents and said, "Lord Raiga, these are items seized from the Jashin Cult. The following are Jashin Cult followers."

"Well, after this incident, you'd better find a remote place to start a new life. Getting involved in a war between major powers only leads to the destruction of your village, especially after getting involved with the Cloud Ninja!"

Uchiha Yoichi put away the information about the Jashin Cult, and then created four shadow clones that instantly appeared around the Jashin Cult members.

Tang Ying's pupils contracted; he already knew what was going to happen.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

The four shadow clones simultaneously unleashed the Great Fire Annihilation, and with the enhancement of Godzilla's heat-generating ability, the flames of the Great Fire Annihilation directly transformed into dazzling golden flames.

The followers of the evil god who were struck by this flame did not experience the burning pain at all; they were instantly turned into charred remains by the intense heat of the flame.

This was a horrific scene, but it only lasted for a dozen seconds. After the fire jutsu ended, there was nothing left on the ground except for a scorched crater burned by the intense flames.

After doing all this, Uchiha Yangyi used the Body Flicker Technique to leave. He gave Tang Ying a chance, and now it was up to him to see how clever he was.

After Uchiha Yoichi left, the Kage's legs trembled so badly that he almost sat down on the ground. After a while, he quickly summoned his subordinates from the Yugakure village and gave them the order to relocate.

Although they cannot move away from the Land of Hot Springs, at least they can stay away from the battlefield. Moreover, the number of people in their Hot Spring Village is not large, only ten or twenty thousand, so relocation is not a difficult task.

However, if they don't move, the Cloud Ninja might come knocking, and the Leaf Village might also come knocking. By the time they come again, it might be the time when the Hot Spring Village is destroyed.

It's not like there aren't precedents. How many small ninja villages and ninja towns in the ninja world have been destroyed? Even the powerful Land of Whirlpools was wiped out in a day or two, let alone their Yugakure Village.

After daybreak, Tang Ying passed on the order, and by morning, he forcefully ordered all the villagers to relocate.

Uchiha Yoichi, who witnessed this scene from outside, also dispelled the shadow clone.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze and his group of four were also quite fast. They arrived at Takigakure only one or two hours later than Yoichi Uchiha. However, they encountered some difficulties after arriving at Takigakure.

The strength of Takigakure is indeed not weak. The fact that they were willing to appear and buy the Seven-Tails proves that Takigakure has ambitions, and they even sent people to assassinate the First Hokage.

Due to its unique geographical location, the village escaped unscathed during the previous two Shinobi World Wars. Currently, the village has over three thousand ninjas, along with the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, a group of Jonin, and the village's treasure, the Hero's Water. It is definitely not weak among small ninja villages.

After Jiraiya and his three companions kidnapped several patrolling ninja from Takigakure and obtained information about the village, they faced a dilemma.

It's unrealistic for the four of them to inflict heavy damage on Takigakure, given how strong the village is. Only Jiraiya possesses wide-range ninjutsu, and even then, he would need Gamabunta's cooperation.

After discussing it, the four of them decided to focus on the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki. Once they could break the Jinchuriki's seal, their mission would be complete.

Whether Takigakure seals the Seven-Tails or releases it, it will be a huge loss. The four of them have no psychological burden about releasing the Seven-Tails. This is war, and since Takigakure has sided with Iwagakure and Kumogakure, they must bear the consequences.

If we show leniency towards the Takigakure ninja now, then we'll have to wait for them to kill Konoha ninjas on the battlefield later.

Of the four, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya are both Kage-level ninjas, Shinnosuke Sarutobi is much stronger than a Jonin, and Toudou Inuzuka is also a skilled Jonin. If the four of them infiltrate Takigakure, they will definitely be able to remain largely undetected.

For over forty years, no ninja had infiltrated Takigakure, which made the villagers much more relaxed. As a result, Minato Namikaze and his companions easily located the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Then came the disaster that struck Takigakure. The Seven-Tails was released and immediately wanted to leave and escape. However, the Takigakure were awakened by the deafening explosion and soon learned that the Seven-Tails had broken free of its seal.

Under the command of the leader of Takigakure, many Takigakure ninja risked their lives to preserve the Seven-Tails, which was their village's treasure, even more important than the Hero's Water.

"Let's go, Minato, we've completed our mission."

Jiraiya saw Minato Namikaze standing atop the waterfall, gazing at the ruins of Takigakure, destroyed by the enraged Seven-Tails. He patted Minato on the shoulder and said, "This is war. When war begins, if you don't use every means at your disposal, you might very well see your comrades face this kind of disaster."

During the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha decisively launched a war in the Land of Rain. Jiraiya initially disapproved of this behavior, but for the sake of Konoha, he endured it.

Minato Namikaze nodded, his face resolute, and said, "I know, Jiraiya-sensei, I will not allow Konoha to face such a crisis!"

------------------

After dealing with the Hidden Hot Springs Village, Uchiha Yangyi was in no hurry to go to the front lines to join them.

The ninja squad won't go to the front lines for four days. If he goes too early, he'll just be waiting in the wilderness anyway. It's better for him to find a town closest to the front lines and rest for three days before heading over.

I'll also take a look at the stuff about cults of evil gods.

Uchiha Yoichi was very interested in the evil god. His power was such that he could cut a person into pieces and still not die. He must have either a special ability or great strength.

It didn't seem like a ninja's method. He suspected that it was because a thousand years ago, before Kaguya Otsutsuki descended upon the ninja world, the extraordinary powers in the world had evolved into the evil god cult of today.

He'll study it first, and if there are no results, he'll give it to Orochimaru. After all, Orochimaru loves studying unfamiliar beings.

After arriving in a fairly prosperous town, Uchiha Yoichi changed his appearance and planned to rest there for three days.

Upon entering the town, Uchiha Yoichi inquired about the existence of the inn and then headed towards it.

However, as they walked, a black-haired girl carrying a pig suddenly ran out from the side. Uchiha Yang was slightly startled when he saw the girl, thinking to himself, "What a coincidence!"

"Mute".

Uchiha Yoichi reached out and stopped Shizune, who was holding the pig. However, Shizune paused for a moment upon seeing Uchiha Yoichi, then asked warily, "Who are you? Why do you know my name?"

"You didn't give Tsunade-sama any money to gamble, did you?"

"Of course not. Mr. Yang? What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this question, Shizune guessed who the strange man in front of her was, and also knew that Uchiha Yoichi had given her such instructions. As for the difference in appearance, it must be because he had used a transformation jutsu.

"I just found a clever wild boar. I'm going to take it to Lady Tsunade to see, and also buy her breakfast."

"breakfast?"

Uchiha Yoichi looked at the sun overhead; it was already noon.

Shizune smiled sheepishly and said, "Lady Tsunade went to bed very late last night, she should be waking up soon."

Uchiha Yang said, "Then I'll go with you. Since we've met, we should at least say hello and tell you some news about the village."

"Alright, then please come with me, Lord Yang."

Shizune nodded and then carried the wild boar to a sushi restaurant to buy some breakfast. Tsunade eats everything, so she bought some food nearby, and then the two of them and the boar headed towards the inn.

Upon arriving at the inn, Shizune led Uchiha Yoichi to the second floor, walked to the end of the floor, and knocked on the door of a room: "Lady Tsunade, are you awake?"

After knocking for a while, Tsunade's languid voice finally came from inside: "Mute? Where have you been so early in the morning?"

The door to the room opened from the inside, and Tsunade, dressed in pajamas, yawned. However, she looked somewhat disheveled, with a large expanse of her snow-white chest exposed, heavy snow-white breasts hanging from her body, and her golden hair somewhat messy.

"Lady Tsunade, there are outsiders present."

When Shizune saw Tsunade in this state, she hurriedly and hastily put her clothes back on.

Then Tsunade noticed Uchiha Yoichi behind Shizune, whose head was tilted but whose eyes kept glancing over. She asked in surprise, "Kid, what are you doing here?"
