I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 259 From this day forward, I will stand at the top in the name of God!

The leaves of Konoha are bathed in bright sunlight.

Countless villagers and ninjas from Konoha gathered in front of the Hokage Building. Everyone held their breath and dared not even breathe too loudly, creating a tense atmosphere.

On the top floor of the Hokage Building, figures appeared one by one. Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Itachi seemed calm as they watched this scene, but their eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

There was also Jiraiya and a group of Anbu members.

"Are they going to announce it?"

The envoys from various ninja villages in the ninja world looked solemnly at the Third Hokage and others who had appeared. As for the Mizukage, Mei Terumi, they mostly assumed that she had come to lend a hand.

The thin and haggard Third Hokage slowly appeared in the sight of everyone in Konoha. At this moment, countless ninjas who knew everything showed complicated expressions.

Regardless, the Third Hokage has ruled for so many years and is now an old man in his twilight years. His abdication in this way can be considered the end of his reign.

"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi. Since becoming the Third Hokage, I have led Konoha through many trials and tribulations, witnessed Konoha's glory, and ultimately led Konoha to where it is today."

At this moment, the Third Hokage was not wearing his Hokage hat, revealing his aged appearance, which made countless Konoha ninja sigh, realizing that the ninja hero had truly grown old.

His hair and beard were white, and even his once straight spine had bent over, and his face was covered with age spots.

After a brief remark by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he turned around, holding a brand-new Hokage hat aloft, and a figure slowly walked forward under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

She wore a white kimono adorned with hexagonal plum blossoms, and the wide sleeves were trimmed with red thorns, also featuring hexagonal plum blossom patterns. A snow-white, fluffy shawl draped over her proud neck and shoulders.

With her long, flowing blonde hair and radiant golden eyes, Princess Tsunade, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, displayed to the world what it means to be heroic and dashing, while also exuding an air of nobility.

"Tsunade!"

"Was the Fifth Hokage Tsunade?!"

At this moment, the villagers of Konoha all stared at the blonde figure that appeared. Tsunade, one of the three legendary ninjas, was now very popular.

When the envoys from various ninja villages saw that it was Tsunade, they were all secretly delighted, and even their faces showed smiles of watching a show.

I wonder if there will be any unexpected events at this Hokage inauguration ceremony. Will the civil war start today, or later?

All the Konoha ninjas were filled with complex emotions. It wasn't that they were dissatisfied with Tsunade, but rather that Konoha would be in turmoil no matter who became the Fifth Hokage.

Like a graceful swan, Tsunade held her elegant neck high and surveyed the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Her face exuded a unique aura as she casually took the Hokage hat handed to her by the Third Hokage and held it high.

"From this day forward, I shall be the Fifth Hokage, governing Konoha!"

Despite Tsunade's domineering declaration, the countless Konoha ninja below became serious, and some even exchanged wary glances.

However, at that moment, a blue figure slowly walked forward; it was the Mizukage of Kirigakure.

Wearing a blue strapless dress with a white belt around her waist and dark blue nail polish, she slowly removed her blue water-shadow hat, revealing her mature and charming face to the world.

"From this moment forward! I am the Fifth Mizukage of the Land of Water!"

Mei Terumi, who exudes an aura of dignity, gentleness, and friendliness, actually made a high-profile declaration on the Hokage Tower that she was the Fifth Mizukage.

This scene astonished countless Konoha ninjas, and even the envoys from various other ninja villages felt that this Mizukage was... well, a bit neurotic!

"Da da!"

Despite the emptiness of Konoha, everyone could hear the clear sound of footsteps echoing in their ears. When a figure reappeared on the Hokage Building, everyone was shocked.

He wore a pure white kimono and black trousers, his chest was open, revealing his eye-catching muscles, and dark black arm guards covered his forearms and extended to his palms. A straight sword was tucked horizontally at his waist.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Uchiha Yoru's tall figure slowly appeared between the two Fifth Kage, as if surrounded by stars.

At this moment, the Third Hokage lowered his head, and outsiders could not see his expression, but he appeared in everyone's sight by holding a Hokage-like hat in his hands.

"this!"

"What is the Third Generation trying to do?!"

"What is Konoha doing?!"

Countless Konoha ninjas were shocked, but many more secretly speculated that the two sides had reached an agreement in private, or something like that.

The envoys from ninja villages across the ninja world stared at this scene in astonishment.

The five Kage hats are brightly colored, each representing the local customs and traditions of one of the five great ninja villages: the Hokage's red, the Mizukage's blue, the Kazekage's dark green, the Tsuchikage's dark brown, and the Raikage's earthen yellow.

The Shadow Hat that appeared in the Third Hokage's hand this time was a brand new snow-white one, with a touch of red on the edge of the brim.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru calmly surveyed all the Konoha ninjas and the envoys from various ninja villages who had come to visit, and slowly accepted the Shadow Hat handed over by the Third Hokage.

The moment it was raised high, everyone's gaze froze. With the ninjas' excellent eyesight, almost everyone could clearly see the Shadow Hat in Uchiha Yoru's hand, or the large red characters on the Shadow Hat.

god!

The five Kage hats are inscribed with the characters for fire, lightning, earth, wind, and water, but this time, the Kage hat in Uchiha Yoru's hand is not the Hokage hat of Konoha, but a hat with the character for god inscribed on it.

The legends of Konoha, the legends of the God of Shinobi, echoed in the minds of countless people!

"I, the Fifth Hokage/Mizukage, hereby declare!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, standing on either side, looked directly at all of them and began to take their oaths.

"The war of hatred between Konoha and Kirigakure is over!"

The two men shouted in deep voices, and everyone was shocked at that moment. What was this?

At the same time, the Hokage Rock curtain behind them slowly fell down, revealing three faces. Uchiha Yoru's face was positioned higher, with Mizukage Mei Terumi and Hokage Tsunade on his left and right sides, respectively.

It seems to be proving something to the ninja world.

This is clearly an oath of allegiance sworn by Konoha and Kirigakure under the leadership of their respective Kage. Uchiha Yoru's ambition is not limited to Konoha, much less to a mere Hokage.

Instead, it will swallow up the two major ninja villages in the ninja world and become their shadow!

Even! To become a god in the ninja world!

God of the Ninja World!

Although Mei Terumi cannot represent the entire Kirigakure, it should be noted that her rebel army still controls a considerable amount of Kirigakure territory, so she is, in a sense, half of Kirigakure.

There are three more generations of responses!

At this moment, the envoys from various ninja villages, after their initial shock, revealed their overwhelming rage. This was a trap! A conspiracy by Konoha to control the ninja world.

Damn it, what kind of bullshit Konoha split and coup is this! The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old guy, has already submitted. Otherwise, why would he be offering up this hat representing the god of the ninja world like a dog today?

The submission of the Third Hokage, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi signified the allegiance and submission of the two great ninja villages, representing the merging of Mei Terumi's territory with Konoha.

More importantly, Mei Terumi's Kirigakure ninja will merge with Konoha!

Originally, his position as the overlord of the ninja world was already in jeopardy, but now, with this turn of events, Uchiha Yoru's strength and influence have increased dramatically, reaching their most glorious point in one fell swoop.

With its superior numbers, quality, and combined military strength, the Ninja World became number one, making its position as the undisputed ruler of the Ninja World unshakeable.

"God! Roar!"

Someone, who had been secretly stirring things up, shouted at the top of their lungs, instantly stirring up everyone's emotions. The entire Hidden Leaf Village was in an uproar, with countless ninjas and villagers bursting into tears of excitement.

Konoha! No civil war broke out! War did not break out!

"The God of the Shinobi World!"

"Roar!"

At this moment, among the Konoha ninja crowd, there was also a small group of ninjas from Kirigakure, who were also roaring excitedly and wildly.

In contrast, the envoys from the major ninja villages in the ninja world wore grim expressions. They had been tricked and fooled! It was all a conspiracy, a conspiracy by Uchiha Yoru to merge the territory and power of the rebel army in the Land of Water.

It's also a conspiracy to unite the forces of both sides!

If it had been exposed from the beginning, the major ninja villages in the ninja world would never have agreed to it. They would have engaged in open and covert struggles, instigation, assassination, and all sorts of other activities from the very beginning. Even if they destroyed the rebel army of the Land of Water, they would never have stood by and watched it be incorporated into Konoha.

Uchiha Yoru, who received the hat representing the Hokage, the god of the ninja world, exuded a unique domineering aura and looked down at everyone with an even more imposing presence.

"From this moment forward! I hereby declare that I, Uchiha Yoru, have taken over the Land of Water. I hereby declare that the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure has been abolished for his long-standing, inhumane Blood Mist Management System. From this moment forward, all Kirigakure ninja in the ninja world shall be subject to the command of me, Uchiha Yoru, and the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei."

Those who disobey will be considered rogue ninja! The Fourth Mizukage's disobedience will make him a leader of a rebel army! From this day forward, the ninjas of Konoha and Kirigakure will be under my rule!

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru exuded domineering arrogance, and in front of envoys from various countries, he arrogantly announced this dictatorial order, openly labeling the Fourth Mizukage as a rebel.

"A conspiracy! A blatant conspiracy! This is a conspiracy by your Konoha!"

"Damn it! Uchiha Yoru, you will be attacked by all the ninja villages in the ninja world! The Ninja World War will start because of you, you madman!"

Uchiha Yoru's bold and domineering declaration shocked the world and aroused the anger of envoys from various ninja villages.

What are they after all this time? Clowns being played by you, Uchiha Yoru?

In fact, Uchiha Yoru played a trick on the entire ninja world!

However, at this moment, three figures appeared on the Hokage Building, led by Uchiha Yoru, with Mei Terumi and Tsunade also revealing domineering smiles.

boom!

In an instant, the three of them joined forces, their auras erupting, and the terrifying intensity of their chakra swept across the entire Hidden Leaf Village. The combined chakra pressure from the three of them instilled fear in countless ninjas.

Under the terrifying pressure of chakra, even a tailed beast is nothing special!

Just like when Orochimaru summoned the previous Hokage in the original work, the Second Hokage suppressed the entire scene with just one burst of chakra, which shows that pure chakra, when powerful enough, can be an extremely terrifying existence.

However, at that very moment, Uchiha Yoru, Tsunade, and Terumi Mei clapped their hands together in front of countless people, forming a hand seal.

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World

Susanoo - Complete Form

As Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Sharingan activated and continued to spin, a powerful black chakra instantly appeared around him, visibly and rapidly condensing and growing stronger.

With a furious roar and a clap of her hands, Tsunade unleashed a massive surge of chakra, causing the entire Hidden Leaf Village to rumble and tremble.

The earth within Konoha's vast village began to tremble, then cracked open, revealing a terrifying scene: large tree vines, visible to the naked eye, began to sprout.

"This! How is this possible!"

"Wood! Wood Release!"

"It's Wood Release!"

Rumble~

As this astonishing scene unfolded, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi exchanged a glance on the Hokage Building, their expressions turning solemn. They simultaneously shouted, activating their Mangekyou Sharingan and unleashing their Susanoo.

Rumble~

In the blink of an eye, the landscape of Konoha had undergone tremendous changes. Countless large trees suddenly appeared, without damaging any buildings, but instead adding a lot of greenery to Konoha.

But what's terrifying is that in Konoha, such a large village, all the trees have grown to an unknown height, especially those near the training grounds, which seem to have stood for centuries.

The towering trees grew at an alarming rate, visible to the naked eye.

"What! What is this?!"

All the ninjas stared in shock at the scene before them. The entire Hidden Leaf Village had changed, and three giants had appeared in front of the Hokage Building.

"This! Is this something a ninja can achieve?!"

"Incredible! It has actually changed the landscape of this area!"

Rumble!

The imposing black Susanoo appeared directly on the Hokage Building, attracting the attention of everyone.

Uchiha Yoru's Susanoo was black, and in its complete form, its size surpassed that of a tailed beast, presenting a complete armor shape. Under the terrifying pressure of chakra, even a Jonin was sweating profusely, with only one thought in his mind.

That's unmatched!

Even a Jonin is nothing but an ant in the face of such power!

At the same time, there are two smaller giant Susanoos: Itachi Uchiha's red Susanoo and Shisui's green Susanoo.

At his young age, Itachi Uchiha could barely maintain the first stage of Susanoo. Shisui, on the other hand, had already entered the second stage of Susanoo.

Spiritual communication!

Just then, loud shouts suddenly rang out around the Hokage Building, and the thick smoke from the summoning beasts instantly dissipated, revealing the terrifying figures of Gamabunta and Manda.

At this moment, Konoha flexed its muscles to the envoys from all the major ninja villages in the ninja world.

At this moment, Mei Terumi, who appeared high above inside Uchiha Yoru Susanoo, gave a seductive smile.

"This is the time for a beautiful fireworks celebration."

Mei Terumi's lips curled into a smile. "Only dazzling fireworks can match a handsome and ambitious man."

Molten Release: Scorching Sea Wave

In an instant, it spat out fiery red magma like ocean waves, which exploded in the air, forming dazzling sparks, just like fireworks.

After finishing all this, Mei Terumi wiped the remaining fiery red lava from the corner of her mouth with her alluring hand. Mei Terumi was already renowned in the ninja world for having two bloodline limits, but today she had revealed yet another one.

Boiling Release, Lava Release (corrosive slime), and today even Lava Release (magma) has appeared. Mei Terumi, a ninja with three bloodline limits.

"this!"

"Is this really something a ninja could achieve?!"

"Damn it, this is not even in the same league."

All the ninjas in Konoha stared blankly, as did the envoys from various ninja villages.

Uchiha Yoru, beneath his Susanoo, looked down upon everyone in Konoha and roared domineeringly, "Go back and tell your Kage that the entire ninja world is so small that there's barely enough land for me to wreak havoc!"

"The ninja world has been in chaos for far too long; peace has never arrived. No one is born to stand at the top, not even the Five Kage or the gods! But this unbearable vacancy on the throne of heaven is about to end. From this day forward, I will stand at the top in the name of a god!"

With his hands crossed and running through his hair, the hairstyle that once exuded youthfulness has been transformed into a mature charm. At the same time, Uchiha Yoru demonstrated to the entire ninja world what domineering power and the meaning of being the only one who reigns supreme are.

"Wood Release! And this terrifying ninjutsu! What is Konoha trying to do?!"

The envoys from various countries who were furious just a moment ago now looked at this scene with fear on their faces. The power that Uchiha Yoru displayed this time was too strong and too terrifying.

The First Hokage's Wood Release, which quelled the chaos of the world; the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan Susanoo; and a series of other Kage-level powerhouses with terrifying pressure.

This is purely a display of strength, telling the entire ninja world just how powerful and influential Uchiha Yoru is now.

Uchiha Yoru, atop Susanoo, issued a domineering order.

"I hereby order Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin, to go to the border of the Land of Earth to assume the position of commander-in-chief, and Orochimaru to go to the border of the Land of Wind to inspect the area. I hereby order Kakashi Hatake, Juzo Biwa, and Zabuza Momochi to go to the border of the Land of Lightning to assume the position of commander-in-chief."

"I hereby order Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Ringo Ameyuri, and Might Guy to go to the Land of Water to guard it. Any provocation by the Kirigakure rebels will be considered an invasion! They will be killed without mercy!"

"The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, and the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, are stationed in Konoha!"

"At the same time, I, Uchiha Yoru, hereby declare to the entire ninja world that any invasion of my territory shall be considered war!"

Uchiha Yoru's domineering declaration echoed in the sky above Konoha, lingering for a long time, as countless people watched in shock at this unforgettable scene.
