I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 338 The Fury of the Daimyo

The Fourth Shinobi World War has begun.

After Konoha was attacked, Uchiha Yoru, citing the fact that the two major ninja villages of Iwagakure and Kumogakure had joined forces with Uchiha Obito to launch a surprise attack on Konoha and start the war, directly ordered counterattacks to begin in various border areas.

Meanwhile, rumors circulated in the ninja world that Uchiha Yoru was seriously injured and was currently recuperating in the village.

Uchiha Yoru used the pretext of Iwagakure and Kumogakure starting the Fourth Shinobi World War to directly issue the battle order.

In an instant, ninja legions from Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure emerged from the border, their target being a small ninja village that had responded to the call of Kumogakure and Kumogakure, and they aimed to ambush and kill it halfway through its route.

Uchiha Yoru went so far as to declare to the ninja world that anyone who dared to ally with Iwagakure or Kumogakure would be an undead enemy!

For a moment, these small ninja villages were in a state of panic. If it weren't for the Daimyo's insistence, they would have almost collapsed.

Meanwhile, news of Obito forming an alliance with the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage with the seven tailed beasts spread throughout the ninja world, leading many to speculate whether the previous tailed beast capture plan was a conspiracy orchestrated by the Cloud and Rock ninjas.

With such doubts, the ninja world became even more turbulent and unstable.

Meanwhile, Nagato of the Akatsuki officially announced his joining Konoha, and at the same time, he and the Akatsuki members announced the recruitment of all rogue ninja members in the ninja world, promising even more generous conditions.

Not only does it possess valuable ninjutsu resources, but it also directly states that once the ninja world is unified, as long as you make enough contributions, it will be a small matter for you to live openly in the sunlight, and you may even become a noble.

After Uchiha Yoru made use of the rogue and traitorous ninjas in the ninja world, the entire ninja world was thrown into chaos.

Konoha, inside a dark base.

Orochimaru looked at the other base and shook his head, saying, "Yoru-kun, although your body is very strong, and you can even suppress the power of the Ten-Tails after your bloodline has reverted to its ancestral state, it will still take time to fully absorb this power."

Lying on the sophisticated medical equipment, before Uchiha Yoru could speak, Tsunade snorted coldly, "If he hadn't been reckless, his body wouldn't be in this state."

At this moment, Tsunade's hands flickered with medical ninjutsu chakra as she frowned and said in a deep voice, "Right now, the chakra and even your mental energy in your body are suppressing the so-called Ten-Tails clone. Fortunately, the amount of chakra injected by the tailed beast was small, otherwise the backlash would be even stronger."

"Either completely absorb the power of the Ten-Tails, or you completely suppress it and don't show any weakness. Once you have an opportunity, you'll be like an uncontrolled Jinchūriki."

As the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, Tsunade calmly examined Uchiha Yoru's physical condition and found it to be almost entirely accurate.

Uchiha Yoru smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"The ninja world has been in turmoil lately. I'm counting on you guys to oversee the rear and mobilize the ninja army."

The war has begun, and all ninjas have entered a state of emergency preparedness. Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Pakura have been particularly busy lately.

The fact that all the ninja from the three major ninja villages needed to be transferred, and that Orochimaru had even come out of his research lab, shows the turbulent situation in the ninja world.

The Land of Fields, the Village of Sound.

This place used to be Orochimaru's stronghold, but it was incorporated into Konoha's territory three years ago. With the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War, even the so-called Daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields was escorted back to Konoha by ninjas.

It was called an escort, but those in the know understand.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was not only a war for Uchiha Yoru to unify the shinobi world, but also a war to redefine the rules.

This is a clash between old and new forces, the era of the Daimyo and the ninja village joining forces versus the new era that Uchiha Yoru wants to create.

The border of the Sound Village.

Shadows darted through the woods. Naruto, with his blond hair, looked displeased. "Sasuke, you're being too cruel right now!"

Sasuke's white shirt was still stained with blood, and he was getting impatient with Naruto's accusations.

"Naruto, war has broken out and you're calling it cruel? Are you out of your mind!"

Sasuke was grumbling at Naruto when he suddenly noticed a commotion ahead, and a bloodthirsty smile returned to his face.

"War has never been about justice or evil. When the ninja world goes to war, this world becomes a purgatory. If you and I, who possess great power, want to pursue so-called justice, then defeat and kill all the enemies. When there are no more enemies in the ninja world, that is peace, and you and I will be justice."

Rumble~

Although the Fourth Shinobi World War has begun, the conflict has not yet fully erupted.

With the two powerful villages of Iwagakure and Kumogakure joining forces, they are currently gathering all the power in the ninja world, thus suppressing their anger on the border and maintaining a degree of restraint.

Similarly, most of Konoha's ninja corps initially targeted the various small countries that had come to the alliance meeting.

The flames of war have been ignited in the ninja world, but this is only the beginning.

"Sasuke!"

In the ravaged woods, Naruto shouted in frustration, while Sasuke Uchiha led a small team to clean up the battlefield.

"Anyone who resists will be killed without exception."

Uchiha Sasuke coldly watched the battlefield, gripping the chakra blade and continuously issuing orders.

"All the black-clad men from Kumogakure have had their limbs crippled and left here. Let them deal with it themselves."

The order was undoubtedly cold, but Sasuke Uchiha knew what he was doing.

This is war; there is only victory and defeat, not evil. Killing one more enemy means fewer casualties on your side.

There are two considerations behind such mistreatment of prisoners. One is to deplete the enemy's medical supplies. After all, such severe injuries require a lot of medical supplies to recover immediately, and little by little, they will accumulate.

The second point is to break people's spirits, and this is what will happen to the various small and large ninja villages that come to the alliance.

"Sasuke, even if you're the enemy, your methods are too cruel."

Naruto still couldn't accept it, while Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naruto, who was staring angrily at him, and a mocking sneer appeared on his face.

"Naruto, are you genuinely naive, or are you just pretending? Or perhaps it's because you have immense power that you possess such a disgustingly saintly heart!"

Sasuke Uchiha's disappointment deepened as his three-tomoe eyes stared at Naruto Uzumaki.

"Naruto, I don't want to argue with you. Let's talk facts. Starting tomorrow, we will no longer team up. Instead, we will each lead a large squad on patrol. Let's see how much damage our different methods will cause to our teammates over the course of a month."

As the atmosphere of war in the ninja world intensifies, Konoha is showing signs of preparing to launch a major offensive against the Land of Lightning.

The area between Yugakure and Shimogakure became a gathering place for ninjas from countless small countries in the ninja world, while large numbers of ninja legions from Iwagakure and Kumogakure also continuously arrived.

This place was also the final battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original timeline.

In the makeshift meeting room, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the Fourth Raikage A, and the General Mifune of the Land of Iron sat upright in chairs, with the leaders of various ninja villages below them.

There was also a row of televisions, each displaying a strangely dressed daimyo from various countries.

Surprisingly, even the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning have come.

"Heh, we've already sent almost all the ninjas in the ninja world. This time, our daimyo has entrusted all our military forces to you."

On the screen, it was clear that all these powerful figures had gathered together in the same place.

"Rest assured, we will absolutely not allow Konoha's evil goals to be achieved."

The Fourth Raikage, A, was the first to voice his opinion, shouting loudly. The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, nodded in agreement, saying in a deep voice, "Indeed, now that we have gathered the power of the entire ninja world, we will surely defeat Uchiha Yoru."

On the screen, the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the daimyo of the Land of Lightning strangely covered their mouths with fans, their narrowed eyes revealing a sinister look.

"Thank you all for your hard work in maintaining the stability of the ninja world. After this battle, we will redistribute the vacant territories of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Water."

The daimyo of the two great nations, Earth and Lightning, on the screen still didn't forget to make grand promises, and it was this one sentence that directly caused countless small ninja villages to show their ecstatic joy.

Their purpose in coming here, besides the so-called reason that Uchiha Yoru was too ambitious, was also to obtain fertile territory.

"Thank you for your kind name."

"Heh, alright, war is your forte, so I'll leave it to you."

After the polite remarks of the daimyo in front of the screen ended, in an unknown place in the ninja world, almost all the daimyo gathered together.

As the video cut off, the two lords, who had been so polite just moments before, instantly revealed a ferocious expression on their faces.

"Gentlemen, the intention of the Uchiha clan to destroy the daimyo's mansion in the ninja world is now crystal clear. As long as there is even one Uchiha clan member alive, a sword hangs over the heads of all of us daimyo."

At this moment, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning glared at everyone and said angrily, "This is no longer just a war within the ninja world, but a war for all of humanity!"

"The Uchiha clan are demons! They actually dared to overthrow our Daimyo's domain and try to dominate the world with their barbaric and uncouth ninjas!"

Following the angry cries of the daimyo of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, the daimyo of the other smaller countries also joined in their indignant shouts.

"That's right, the ninja world can no longer have the Uchiha clan."

"No! Not just the Uchiha, but Konoha shouldn't exist at all."

"Damn it, these ninjas are just tools. Now that the tools are trying to rebel, let's break them down and get a new one."

"Tools should be mindless beasts. I suggest that when training these dog-like ninjas in the future, we should train them all to be mindless puppets."

"Kill! Kill those who dare to resist us!"

The Ninja World Continent stands at the top of the pyramid, where the hundred daimyo who control the situation in the Ninja World are all located. Their power is terrifying.

In the Fourth Shinobi World War, if we were to say who resisted the most fiercely, it would undoubtedly be these Daimyo.

Uchiha Yoru's ambition to dominate the ninja world was not merely to unify all the ninja villages, but to annex all the countries and overthrow the Daimyo's domain.

The Daimyo system was so deeply rooted in this land that before the emergence of ninjas, the Daimyo was the highest authority in the world.

Now, not only are there people trying to shake the position of Daming Prefecture, but they also want to completely destroy and overthrow it. How can they sit idly by and wait for their doom?

This is an unprecedented transformation, and also a collision between the new era and the old era.

"It's all because of these tools that we're stuck in this disgusting, suffocating place. I swear! After the war, I'll choke these ninjas to death in this cesspool."

"Not bad, the air here is suffocating me. Since when has our daimyo had to hide in the north? Damn ninjas!"

One by one, the daimyo from the various daimyo prefectures pounded their fists on the table indignation, shouting and yelling. Meanwhile, their leaders, the daimyo of the Land of Earth and the daimyo of the Land of Lightning, exchanged a glance and smiled.

"Gentlemen, this time our allied ninja forces will surely win!"

"Victory is certain!"

Before the exquisite long table, a group of fat, greasy-faced daimyo revealed greedy smiles, raising their wine glasses one after another. On the huge long table in front of them, various exquisite foods were laid out.

Even before the war has begun, these daimyo seem to have already sensed the taste of victory.

"Gentlemen, let's drink to our victory!"

"Cheers!"

Despite being an enclosed space, it is filled with plants, making it feel like a resort.

On the table were exquisite dishes, all made with precious ingredients.

Bear paws, tiger penis soup, venison, and other delicacies—one by one, spirit beasts that died with their eyes wide open were served on the dining table.

Despite being precious and cherished summoning beasts by ninjas, and not being particularly powerful, they were merely food in the eyes of these daimyo.

This demonstrates the corruption of the daimyo.

On the other end.

Inside the Ninja Alliance meeting room.

"Gentlemen, there's no need to elaborate on our opponents this time. I'm sure we all know their intelligence. As the saying goes, a snake cannot move without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings. Our Ninja Alliance should elect a leader."

As Admiral Mifune of the Land of Iron finished speaking, his gaze fell directly on the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

In front of everyone, Mifune calmly and directly stated his reasons.

"In terms of experience, the Third Tsuchikage is undoubtedly the most deserving. As someone who has experienced three Shinobi World Wars and witnessed the power of the Uchiha clan, I think he is the most suitable candidate."

As Mifune's voice fell, all the village leaders below echoed him. If there was anyone who could convince them all, it was this old man.

Even the Fourth Raikage, A, who was standing to the side, although feeling aggrieved, knew that this old guy was indeed the most suitable.

After all, considering the size of this ninja army and their experience, even though he is the Fourth Raikage, he has never commanded a major war as a Kage.

After all, his father had just died during the Third Shinobi World War, and then the Hidden Cloud Village withdrew from the war.

Therefore, despite his burly build and intimidating presence, he was actually a complete novice when it came to commanding tens of thousands of ninja legions in battle.

"In that case, I will accept it."

The third-generation Onoki has no intention of holding back now, since everyone has to fight tooth and nail this time.

"Everyone, I will distribute the information about the Uchiha Sharingan to you later. I will also share the information about the Uchiha clan that I and the Raikage have been working on together, especially regarding the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"We also have all the information on the Jonin from the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure this time, and we will mark out which ones are the strongest."

When the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, took over as the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces, he showed no joy. Instead, he solemnly delivered the intelligence to everyone and then discussed the battle plan.

Sorry, I'm having some writer's block. I'll try my best to update twice tomorrow, and at the latest, the day after tomorrow.

(Just one update today, writer's block, I'm going to organize my thoughts.)
