I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 347 Warm-up End

Rumble~

The meteorite shattered into fragments and fell to the ground, but the Allied Shinobi Forces were filled with despair.

"This! Is this the power of God?!"

The enormous shadow did not disappear; a huge meteorite was still falling from the sky, dragging its tail.

"How are you going to intercept the second one?"

Uchiha Yoru revealed a mocking smile, "This one doesn't have as much time as the first one."

Rumble~

The second meteorite, trailing its tail, fell closely behind. By this time, the Allied Shinobi Forces had little time left to unleash their ninjutsu.

"Don't give up!"

Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique

Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique

Hell Thrust - One-Shot Hand

With the roars of the five Kage and under the threat of death, the tens of thousands of ninja from the Allied Shinobi Forces erupted in fury. Faced with the approaching meteorite, they unleashed their ninjutsu in an attempt to destroy the meteorite that would annihilate them.

Rumble~

Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique

Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave

……

In an instant, tens of thousands of ninjutsu techniques attacked from the other side, and under the carpet bombardment, the meteorite shattered.

"Ninja Alliance, don't give up!"

It was the Allied Shinobi Forces in the distance. The Fourth Raikage, A, roared and led his numerous shinobi legions in an attack.

In an instant, the meteorite shattered into many pieces, but due to insufficient time, it still crashed down heavily, while countless other meteorite fragments continued to hurl down like cannonballs.

The land seemed to have been bombarded like a carpet, with booming sounds everywhere.

The wind blew through the sand and dust, revealing the battlefield. At that moment, the smile on Uchiha Yoru's face gradually turned into a cold glint.

"Tailed Beast Cloak, is this your choice?! To act with impunity time and time again!"

A cold, suppressed voice echoed across the battlefield, and as the true nature of the battlefield was revealed, the Konoha members all showed angry glares.

"Is this your choice?!" Kakashi Hatake slowly revealed the Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye, his eyes filled with cold killing intent.

Jiraiya couldn't help but reveal a complex expression, which ultimately turned into a soft sigh.

"Naruto!"

Many ninjas in the Konoha Allied Forces showed grim expressions.

After the sandstorm subsided, the Allied Shinobi Forces beneath the meteorite appeared with red tailed beast cloaks shaped like foxes. A blond-haired boy appeared among the Allied Shinobi Forces, his gaze fixed firmly on Uchiha Yoru.

"Stop! War only breeds hatred! This is not peace!"

Naruto Uzumaki shouted resolutely, but Yoru Uchiha revealed a mocking sneer, "It seems I've spoiled you too much all these years, Naruto Uzumaki! You've actually turned against me at the last minute."

However, Naruto Uzumaki, without any shame, looked around at everyone and solemnly shouted, "Why do we have to fight? Isn't peace better?"

"Such fighting only breeds hatred... I'm willing to act as a bridge between the two sides and put an end to the war!"

Looking at the arrogant Naruto Uzumaki, Yoru Uchiha revealed a mocking smile, just then a voice rang out from afar by Kakashi Hatake.

"Naruto!"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Konoha with a pleading gaze, hoping someone would understand him. Unfortunately, he was met with an incredulous and indifferent look from his teacher, Kakashi Hatake.

"It's not too late to turn back now!"

Under Kakashi's cold voice, Jiraiya remained silent. He naturally understood Naruto's will and had developed feelings for him after years of companionship.

If the two sides were evenly matched, he would definitely side with Naruto. But now they have the advantage, and unifying the ninja world is within reach.

As for whether Uchiha Yoru's direction was right or wrong, Jiraiya could only smile bitterly. At the very least, in an era where ninja villages were numerous and daimyo ruled, war never stopped. No one knew what peace was like. Success could only be achieved through repeated failed attempts.

"Kakashi!" Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before turning to Kakashi, then sighed and shook his head, saying, "Never mind."

In the end, Jiraiya fell silent and chose to give up on Naruto. He also pursued peace, and Naruto's peaceful coexistence was clearly similar to the situation of the First Hokage.

This peace is fleeting and illusory.

In contrast, after Uchiha Yoru unified the ninja world, he concentrated all his power in the most fertile Land of Fire. Even a hundred years later, when the ninja world was in turmoil, it was only a small part of it.

After all, the strongest forces are in the Land of Fire, so they can easily quell the unrest.

While this doesn't qualify as true peace, he can see that it's much better than the current situation of numerous ninja villages.

There are also drawbacks, namely that the current war for unification will inevitably result in bloodshed and accumulate countless hatreds, which is why Uchiha Yoru said that unification should be done as soon as possible.

Over three generations and a hundred years, hatred will be forgotten with time.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Looking at the familiar faces of Konoha in the distance, Naruto Uzumaki's face showed a determined expression.

"Kakashi-sensei, even if you don't understand, I will still do it. This battle will be bloody and more than 100,000 ninjas will die in the name of unification and peace."

"But as long as both sides are willing to shake hands and make peace, just like the First Hokage, the ninja world will still be peaceful before Lord Uchiha Yoru's power disappears. During this time, we can do our best to find peace and let us understand each other..."

Despite his internal struggle, Naruto Uzumaki still couldn't bear to watch over the sacrifice of more than 100,000 ninjas.

"Naruto, is this the peace you've been seeking?!"

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake showed a look of disappointment. Naruto's so-called peace ideals were still living within the confines of the ninja world's plans and had never stepped outside of them.

Naruto Uzumaki believed he was right. He argued that if both sides stopped the war, it would reduce the casualties by tens of thousands, and that Konoha's power was enough to maintain peace in the ninja world.

Why kill so many people and create so much hatred?

Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique

Just then, the First and Second Tsuchikage rode on the backs of the three Raikage, with the Second Tsuchikage Mu even splitting himself off using the Split Technique.

The three Tsuchikage rode on the backs of the First, Second, and Third Raikage and directly unleashed Earth Release: Super Light Heavy Rock Technique.

In an instant, the three Raikage, unleashing their full power, directly used their strongest offensive ninjutsu.

Hell Thrust - One-Shot Hand

Hell Thrust - Two-Handed Slash

The three Raikage, the First and Third Raikage being the strongest, appeared directly in front of Susanoo as a bolt of lightning and unleashed their strongest attack.

At that moment, the three Tsuchikage, riding on the Raikage, roared, "Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique!"

In an instant, the three Raikage's power increased exponentially, and before Uchiha Yoru could react, the Susanoo's bones shattered.

Rumble~

As the black Susanoo shattered, the ninjas on both sides of the battlefield watched in shock as the three Raikage's strongest attacks pierced the chest of Uchiha Yoru, who was known as the God of Shinobi.

Three thick, powerful hands, like sharp kunai, pierced through his chest. At that moment, Uchiha Yoto showed an expression of disbelief, looking down at the wound on his chest, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It actually broke through Susanoo."

"This is the power of the Five Kage!"

The Raikage and Tsuchikage roared excitedly, unleashing the power they possessed.

"No!"

"Damn it! Kill!"

The sudden turn of events filled Naruto with disbelief, and after the initial shock, he roared, "I said stop the war! Didn't you hear me?!"

With Yoruichi Uchiha dead, the war will immediately spiral out of control. Even the thick-skinned Naruto Uzumaki knew this, and he roared in anger.

However, at that moment, a smile gradually appeared on Uchiha Yoru's face as he looked at the five Kage who were attacking him.

"Not bad teamwork, you actually managed to break my Susanoo."

As Uchiha Yoru spoke these words with a smile, his body began to change. At this moment, the Third Raikage exclaimed in shock and anger, "It's a Wood Clone!"

Click~ Click~

As Uchiha Yoru's body gradually turned to wood starting from his feet, the Raikage and Tsuchikage looked extremely grim, while the Konoha ninja in the distance cheered.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

The sound came from above, and only then did everyone realize that Uchiha Yoru had never come down from the rock in the first place; what he had just seen were merely wood clones.

Uchiha Yoru slowly walked out, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan scanning all the ninjas before finally settling on Uzumaki Naruto.

"Naruto Uzumaki has defected to the enemy and is now classified as an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha. All Konoha ninja have the right to kill him and reclaim the Nine-Tails!"

Rebellion!

Naruto was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the angry and indifferent eyes of the people of Konoha in the distance, his heart trembled.

Although he had already considered the consequences of doing so, he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken when the time came.

"Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, do you have any objections to my orders?"

However, just after announcing that Naruto Uzumaki was a rogue ninja, Yoru Uchiha calmly said something, and then, as footsteps sounded, everyone noticed that there were two coffins behind them.

A blond man wearing a divine robe and a red-haired woman walked out. When Naruto saw the two of them, he couldn't help but have tears welling up in his eyes.

"Father, Mother!"

The people who appeared were none other than the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki.

At that moment, the couple looked at their son, and Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and replied hoarsely, "No objections!"

"Minato!" Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but grab her husband's arm; she simply couldn't bear to see her son become a rogue ninja.

At this moment, with Minato Namikaze's personal admission, Naruto Uzumaki's face turned ashen, as if his insistence was utterly laughable, staring at the indifferent gazes of everyone in Konoha.

A voice seemed to be screaming in Naruto's heart, asking him if it was worth it. He had given everything for a so-called peace that had nothing to do with him.

However, another voice told him to uphold his ninja way, that there were too many tragedies in this world, that war only breeds hatred, and that only mutual understanding could bring peace.

"Naruto!"

At that moment, Minato Namikaze let out a hoarse shout. Looking at his distraught son, he still couldn't bear it and pointed at Konoha.

"Naruto, look at the situation now. War is unavoidable, between Konoha and other villages! Your friends, comrades, and teammates are all in Konoha. Is it worth it for an unfamiliar Allied Shinobi Forces?"

Minato Namikaze rose to fame during the Third Shinobi World War, his hands stained with the blood of countless enemy village ninjas. He also yearned for peace, but loved Konoha even more.

Minato Namikaze was a pure and true Hokage; he loved only his own existence, just like the Five Kage.

"Then I'll give you two a chance: capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and extract the Nine-Tails. I can allow you to keep a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Uchiha Yoru looked at the Fourth Hokage and his wife and said coldly, which was almost a statement that if the two of them captured Uzumaki Naruto, they could leave behind a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and Uzumaki Naruto would not die.

However, Naruto's actions today have destined him to spend the rest of his life in prison.

"Thank you, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki expressed her gratitude repeatedly, while Minato, standing to the side, also wore a complex expression, still filled with gratitude towards Yoru Uchiha.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a sarcastic smile on his lips. He hadn't expected that his backup plan would be used.

Originally, after Sasuke Uchiha went to capture the Daimyo, he secretly noticed that Naruto Uzumaki was acting strangely, so he secretly reported it to him.

Unexpectedly, Naruto Uzumaki, who unexpectedly became the number one ninja, was truly surprising and outrageous.

All of this was seen by the Fourth Hokage and his wife. The Fourth Shinobi World War was inevitable. Among the various ninja villages, Konoha and the other ninja villages were at odds. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was determined to choose Konoha.

"Now it's your turn!"

At that moment, Uchiha Yoru revealed a cruel smile, while Uzumaki Naruto was already captivated by the Fourth Hokage and his wife.

Wood Release: Descent of the Flower Tree World

Uchiha Yoru suddenly clapped his hands together, and the earth trembled instantly, with terrifying vines beginning to sprout.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha, who was watching the show from afar, said in a deep voice, "Madara, we can't just watch. If this continues, we won't be able to cause much damage to Konoha."

Madara Uchiha was silent for a moment, then nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin the war!"

Wood Release: Descent of the Flower Tree World

Madara Uchiha also went all out, clapping his hands to unleash the same Wood Release ninjutsu. The difference was that the earth trembled as the two Wood Release techniques clashed and clashed.

Obito Uchiha also formed hand seals, and at the same time, the Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye began to spin rapidly.

Fire Release: Explosive Dance

Kamui distorted the surrounding space and created a vortex-like storm. Then, Obito spat out a terrifying, spinning fire serpent. The vortex-like storm and the spinning fire serpent combined to form a huge, rotating flame, instantly creating a terrifying fire-style ninjutsu aimed at the Konoha Allied Forces in the distance.

At the same time, the reanimated ninjas hidden in the Edo Tensei also appeared at the ambush site and charged towards the Konoha ninja army.

At that moment, the ninjas from both sides roared in anger. The ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces also rushed towards the Konoha side. As long as they were entangled together, even a terrifying ninja like Uchiha Yoru wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

"This is bad, Madara Uchiha is trying to wear down both of our strength."

The resurrected Hashirama Senju cried out in surprise; at this moment, no one was stupid.

But Madara Uchiha and Obito used an open strategy. Should we fight or not?

If we fight, they're now on the side of the Allied Forces. If we don't fight, the current Allied Ninja Forces are no match for them. The legion forces are a different story, they're evenly matched.

However, in terms of high-end combat capabilities, the gap is not small.

Therefore, Onoki and the Fourth Raikage Emin knew about each other's scheme, but could only endure and launch an attack.

Were Madara Uchiha and Obito strong? They were indeed strong, but their opponent, Yoru Uchiha, was no pushover either. It might not be a mutually destructive outcome, but rather a triple defeat.
