Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 225 A Scheme of Grudges, Yuzhi: Come at me all at once!

"Long time no see, Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha spoke indifferently, and his words instantly turned Sasuke's eyes cold.

Sasuke's life has always been good, whether it's the care he receives from his clan, his mother's love, or everything his father, Haori, has given him.

All of this filled him with satisfaction and happiness, but there was always a hurdle in his heart, which was quietly buried because of his happy life.

But he never forgot about it, and the obstacle was his brother, the one who was expelled by his father and betrayed the entire family.

"You have no right to call me that, Uchiha Itachi."

Sasuke gripped the ninja sword at his waist tightly, his crimson eyes darting around.

"Oh, no, that's not right either. Your surname has been stripped away. If you hadn't run so fast, your eyes would have been gouged out."

"You beast, how dare you return to Konoha! Mother shouldn't have been so merciful; Father should have killed you outright!"

Sasuke's words made Itachi's expression turn somewhat ugly; he hadn't expected his younger brother to treat him so badly.

But the extent to which it had become so awful was truly beyond his expectations, especially the look in Sasuke's eyes.

That murderous look in his eyes, which treated him as an evil enemy, caused him immense pain.

However, he suppressed his disappointment and despair, knowing that Sasuke was unaware of the 'truth' and that now was not the time to discuss it.

"You'll find out someday, Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha murmured to himself, but on the surface he remained incredibly cold. He simply looked at Sasuke silently before speaking.

"Uchiha Hagoromo's failure to kill me sealed his fate. And you, you have a good eye."

But your eyes are nothing special; you haven't yet experienced the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Only when you experience that power will you understand the meaning of the Uchiha clan.

"Alright, are you done with the nonsense?"

Obito wasn't very happy about Itachi and Sasuke's nonsense. He tilted his head and looked at the two of them, then whispered.

"Although they are not our target, it would be a bit bad if we didn't do something about it when we encountered them."

Naruto Uzumaki is Kushina Uzumaki's son. Capturing him could allow you to try and coerce Kushina into exchanging the Nine-Tails. Although Sasuke Uchiha is your younger brother, he is also the adopted son of Hagoromo Uchiha.

If we capture or kill him, Uchiha Hagoromo will probably be in trouble, so he's a decent target.

Obito's words made Itachi's gaze darken, while Sasuke and Naruto were also extremely alert, and the two simultaneously prepared for battle.

Although they knew that both of the men opposite them had been severely punished by their fathers, it didn't mean they were capable of dealing with them now.

But to be honest, neither of them was afraid.

Inheriting the will of their fathers, they also hope to strike hard against these enemies of Konoha!

"Oh, not bad, you even have that kind of fighting spirit?"

Obito was quite disdainful of Sasuke and Naruto's attitude. He chuckled and an iron chain appeared in his sleeve, which he casually fastened to his wrist.

"Very well, then let me see what you're really capable of!"

"Really? Actually, I'm also very curious about what skills you have."

Just as Obito finished speaking, another voice suddenly appeared, and this voice instantly changed the expressions of Obito and Itachi.

Looking up, they saw a man standing on a utility pole with his arms crossed, looking at them indifferently.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked indifferently at the people below, while Sasuke and Naruto became excited upon seeing him.

"Uncle Shisui!"

"Uncle Shisui!"

Shisui nodded, then fell directly off the power line. He looked at Obito and Itachi Uchiha, and after a while, he suddenly sneered.

"I never expected you guys would dare to come to Konoha again. It seems you haven't learned your lesson yet, but it doesn't matter anyway."

Shisui closed his eyes slightly and spoke calmly.

"Sasuke, Naruto, that traitor is your responsibility. As for this Obito Uchiha, I will deal with him personally."

As he spoke, when he opened his eyes again, they had already become eternal eyes!

"I'll leave you here this time!"

-

"Sarutobi-sensei, it's been a long time."

Inside the Konoha training grounds, Orochimaru looked at the Third Hokage before him, licked his lips slightly, and smiled.

Orochimaru was still so young at this moment, his golden, snake-like eyes scrutinizing his teacher, as if brewing a different kind of emotion.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru. I haven't heard you call me 'teacher' in so long."

The third generation also revealed a smile, his eyes looking very pure.

"How have you been all these years since you left Konoha?"

"Yes, everything is fine. I have to thank the teacher for showing mercy back then, which allowed me to leave smoothly."

Orochimaru licked his lips lightly, seemingly not harboring any great hatred towards his teacher, and their exchange appeared to be more like a normal conversation.

In fact, that's largely true. Orochimaru doesn't hate his teacher, or rather, his current teacher.

In the original story, he returned and launched the "Konoha Crush Plan," which actually seemed more like a way to "give his teacher a dignified experience."

Otherwise, why would he have so carelessly exposed himself in the second round of the Chunin Exams? Otherwise, why would he have let Rasa die early instead of having Rasa join him?

Although he was ultimately defeated by the Third Hokage's Reaper Death Seal, leaving him in a very sorry state and subjected to some very harsh insults.

However, it cannot be denied that his "Konoha Collapse" operation truly allowed the Third Hokage to exit the stage in a dignified manner.

This ensured that his teacher, regardless of his merits or demerits, had a positive image, because the Third Hokage died protecting Konoha.

Now, the Third Hokage is aware of his excessive power, and Konoha is becoming increasingly powerful.

Even Orochimaru himself has some ambiguous relationship with the current Hokage, Haori.

In addition, his two close friends, Jiraiya and Tsunade, are also in Konoha, so his views on the Third Hokage have changed somewhat.

Although his teacher had various flaws during his time in Konoha, such as indulging Danzo, he was still acceptable overall.

The reason he came here this time was simply to complete a mission.

"Alright, teacher, I think we should move around a bit too."

Orochimaru smiled, then took off the Akatsuki's clothes, revealing his own attire.

"Last time was too rushed, but I still learned a lot from the teacher's excellent skills. Many years have passed and I have grown. I wonder if the teacher would be willing to give me some guidance again."

"That's no problem at all."

The third generation leader smiled and nodded, then took off his white robe to reveal the armor underneath.

"Well then, Orochimaru, let me, as your teacher, see just how much my disciple has grown today!"

-

"It's actually two brats coming to deal with me."

On the other side of the training ground, Onoki floated in the air. The ground below him had long been shattered. The power of Earth Release and Dust Release was no joke.

On the shattered ground, Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a glance, and then they both nodded to each other.

Onoki is an extremely difficult opponent, but they are not without the possibility of dealing with such an opponent, especially since their current strength is not weak!

Jiraiya's potential for growth may not be as high as Tsunade's, but Jiraiya's fighting style has never been about "overpowering others with force." He is better at gathering information and combining it with his own strength to find opportunities.

As for Tsunade, the current Tsunade is vastly different.

The appearance of Tobirama Senju, the injection of White Zetsu cells, and the awakening by Hashirama Senju allowed her to receive more guidance during her transformation.

Especially considering the data and power she obtained on the moon, she is one of the people who has made the most progress in Konoha in recent years!

"Whether he's a brat or not is hard to say, but dealing with an old man like you is no problem."

Jiraiya looked at Ōnoki in the sky, laughed heartily, and then shouted loudly.

"Ready, Tsunade, let's begin!"

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

"ignorance."

The enormous fireball hurtled straight toward Onoki in the sky. Onoki scoffed dismissively, not even considering using Earth Release to defend himself.

His body simply flew to the side, easily dodging the attack.

However, Jiraiya did not stop. He continuously released fire-style attacks, which really annoyed Onoki.

"And that woman, the granddaughter of the First Hokage? She's waiting for her chance to strike."

Onoki knew that Jiraiya was trying to distract him and create an opportunity for Tsunade to break through; he had seen this tactic many times before.

However, his expression changed instantly the next moment, because he saw that Tsunade was actually forming hand seals.

"Isn't she a taijutsu ninja who excels at medical ninjutsu?"

Without a second thought, Tsunade quickly formed hand seals below him, and the earth began to tremble the next moment.

"Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World!"

"What?"

Onoki's expression changed drastically, and his mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't understand how Tsunade knew Wood Release.

However, he quickly realized that if Uchiha Haori knew Wood Release, then what was so special about Tsunade?

Besides, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, so it's more normal for her to know Wood Release!

"What a hassle!"

Onoki immediately accelerated upwards, while simultaneously forming hand seals to prepare to unleash Dust Release.

The troublesome nature of Wood Release is beyond question; he must go all out to deal with it!

"Okay, now!"

On the other side, Jiraiya suddenly shouted, and a natural aura burst forth from his body.

At this moment, Jiraiya's face was covered with mottled patterns. Although his growth over the years had been limited, he had made improvements based on the "prophecy" he had seen!

As Sage Mode is his trump card, he will naturally pay more attention to it.

After some effort, he can now activate Sage Mode more easily and quickly. He formed hand seals again and shouted loudly.

"Tsunade, get out of the way!"

Immortal Technique: Great Flame Bullet!

A violent burst of flames erupted instantly, then slammed into Tsunade's Wood Release, igniting it in the next instant.

The raging flames, accompanied by the spread of Wood Release, swept wildly toward Onoki Mat!

After doing all this, the two looked at each other again and then formed hand seals once more.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"

Two mountain-sized monsters appeared in the training ground in an instant, quickly standing on top of their respective summoned beasts.

Such high spirits seem to be worthy of the name of the Three Ninjas, even though they are already the "Old Three Ninjas".

"Onoki, the battle is only just beginning!"

-

"Surrender, you have no chance."

At the top of the training ground, Minato calmly looked at the Fourth Raikage and spoke.

"None of you are a match for us. Your fate is sealed. Stop struggling."

"How arrogant! What makes you so sure you'll win?!"

The Fourth Raikage was actually somewhat worried about everything before him, but he had to be tough now.

His men are already prepared, and his subordinates are determined to fight to the death. He absolutely cannot back down!

"Alright, it seems there's no need for me to say anything more."

Minato shook his head and sighed.

"More than ten years ago, you and Killer Bee left a deep impression on me, and now I think we can try again."

It's just a pity that Killer Bee has to face Hagoromo. I only hope he can survive.

"you"

The Fourth Raikage's expression changed, and just as he was about to say something, Minato interrupted him again.

"I won't hold back from now on, and I hope you'll think twice before you act."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato's figure vanished instantly, and in the next instant, Minato's figure appeared almost simultaneously from three directions around the Fourth Raikage!

The Rasengans in Minato's hands spun rapidly, their azure chakra aura pressing directly towards the Fourth Raikage.

In the original story, Minato died during the Nine-Tails' attack at the age of twenty-something, so there was still a lot of room for improvement for him.

Now, at over thirty years old, Minato is at his peak in every aspect, including combat power, ninjutsu, energy, stamina, and chakra.

Without the pressure of being Hokage, he had more time to spend with his family and also more time to improve himself!

With the addition of the evil "Thousand-Armed Demon" Tobirama Senju, he made a huge breakthrough in the development of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"A troublesome fellow!"

The Fourth Raikage roared, and the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode" instantly appeared on his body.

After taking a hit from a Rasengan, he swung his remaining left hand out with all his might.

"Shockingly brutal!"

Although he didn't know which one was Minato Namikaze's true form, he considered them all to be.

This is merely a result of the sheer speed, making the 'split' phenomenon visible. Only the 'Shutter-Fast Movement' could achieve this!

However, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique, which is simply about speed, while Minato Namikaze used a space-time technique.

It's hard to say who's stronger or weaker, but the Fourth Raikage has no room to sit idly by; he can only attack at will!

hum-

However, his hand strike missed at that moment, because Minato had already left his original position the instant the third Rasengan hit him.

Even with the Fourth Raikage's strength, he couldn't react at that speed!

boom!

Everything happened in an instant; the power of the Raikage's Rasengan, which struck his body, erupted the moment the Fourth Raikage made his move.

"snort!"

The Fourth Raikage couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as his abdomen was blasted away with a deafening roar.

However, he quickly got up from the ruins, clutching his stomach and panting heavily.

He glanced at his 'Lightning Armor' out of the corner of his eye and was shocked to find that the armor had actually cracked!

"Three attacks, all from the same spot? How did he manage that?"

The Fourth Raikage was filled with confusion, but he had no chance to ask now.

Because he didn't see any kunai flying towards him at all, but Minato Namikaze's figure once again split into three parts and appeared around him.

"I told you, you were destined to lose!"

-

"Who exactly are you?"

On the other side, Rasa looked at the person in ANBU uniform with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

For a fleeting moment, he even wondered if this person was Kakashi Hatake, the captain of Konoha's Anbu.

After all, they both have the same white hair and are extremely skilled in swordsmanship. The only difference is that this guy doesn't have Sharingan, right?

Besides, Kakashi is currently dealing with the ninjas from various villages outside the barrier, so it's impossible for him to be inside!

"You're asking too many questions."

The Dark Division member replied coldly, and in the next instant, he charged towards Luo Sha again, which made Luo Sha's expression even more displeased.

The guy in front of me has top-notch speed and strength, and his swordsmanship is exceptionally sharp.

Although Rasa wasn't as worried about being approached as a puppeteer, he wasn't afraid of his Magnet Release at all and could even find opportunities to attack under the Magnet Release's attacks.

Rasa was genuinely puzzled by the variety of fighting methods Rasa used against the Sand Village.

"Who exactly is this guy?"

However, despite being filled with doubts, Luo Sha did not stop at all. He manipulated a large amount of sand and gravel to rush towards the dark unit in an instant.

However, upon seeing this, the ANBU member pulled out several kunai while dodging to the side, and the next moment he shot them out.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

As the kunai pierced the sand and gravel, the explosive tag attached to it was instantly detonated. The powerful heat wave and explosion were blocked by Rasa's sand shield, but they still stirred up a huge cloud of smoke and dust.

"To win, you have to break his shell first, and now is your chance!"

With the help of the smoke and dust, the operation of this secret unit paused slightly, but the next moment his speed instantly increased!

Moreover, on his short sword, azure arcs of electricity began to crackle and leap, and in that instant, he pierced through the curtain of smoke and dust.

"How could it be so fast?"

Rasa's expression turned even uglier as he looked at the Konoha Anbu members who suddenly appeared in front of him.

He immediately gathered a large amount of sand and gravel to protect himself, but unfortunately, the speed at which the assassin struck seemed to be even faster.

Moreover, that blade, so sharp and precise, like a dragon in flight, was also stimulating Rasa's memories!

puff-

The sand and gravel were ultimately a step too slow; the silver-haired ANBU's blade had already pierced Rasa's body. However, the sand and gravel did serve their purpose, as the stab was only shallow.

However, Luo Sha's face had turned extremely ugly, and he shouted in disbelief.

"Impossible! How could this be! You...you're Hatake Sakumo?!"

"Oh, we've been found out?"

Silver-haired ANBU member Sakumo Hatake raised an eyebrow, but quickly shook his head slightly.

"But it doesn't matter anyway. Also, your Magnet Release seems to be inferior to the Third Kazekage and the others."

-

"That was a really intense fight, especially between those two."

Amidst the fierce battles raging all around Konoha, Yugi's figure quietly appeared in a forest outside the village.

He glanced around, then shook his head with amusement, but his gaze remained fixed on another part of Konoha, where two people were engaged in a fierce battle.

Those were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. The two were fighting again, and their movements seemed to be much more intense than expected.

This is normal, though. Although Madara Uchiha has not been fully resurrected, strictly speaking, his current strength is not bad, after all, his body is the result of 'careful selection'.

Even if it cannot unleash the full power of the Rinnegan, the resulting power will still be considerable.

As for the intercolumnar

"Maybe we can give Madara a surprise, but before that..."

Yuzhi looked at an open space in front of her, but the next moment a summoning circle suddenly appeared, and a chaotic chakra also emerged along with it.

"This is really reckless. This kind of spatial tearing must be incredibly painful."

Yuzhi calmly watched all of this unfold. The "Heavenly Transfer Technique" was considered a major tool for Kumogakure to transfer powerful individuals into the war.

However, the problem lies in the fact that this technique has a huge flaw: its stability has never been excellent, and unstable spatial teleportation will inevitably cause certain problems.

That is the tearing of space on the body. If a person's physical strength is not enough, then they are very likely to die during the journey.

"There's a very high probability that only a portion of them were teleported over, while the rest remained in place."

Moreover, even if the time travel is successful, those with insufficient physical strength are likely to be covered in wounds, and without strong healing abilities, it will all be in vain.

In the original work, Tsunade recovered using her medical ninjutsu.

However, Jinchūriki don't seem to need to worry too much, as their Tailed Beasts will help them recover.

"We've arrived, everyone. Quickly recover so we can get moving."

Just as Yuzhi was pondering, five figures quietly appeared on the open space.

Because the One-Tailed Beast is inside Gaara, Kirigakure, although participating in the operation, is essentially a traitor. Their Jinchūriki will naturally not reunite with them, while the Nine-Tailed Beast is with Konoha.

Therefore, only five people appeared here: the jinchūriki from Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Takigakure.

Yuri was actually very curious about what had gotten into Takigakure, Kakuzu's hometown, that made them cooperate with these people, but she didn't care what they thought.

Because no matter how many of them there are, it's all the same to the haori at this moment!

"The operation is over. You don't need to go anywhere."

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi didn't bother to pretend anymore. He walked out slowly, looked at the crowd in front of him, and chuckled as he spoke.

The sudden appearance of Yuzhi's voice immediately alerted the six people present, but when they saw Yuzhi's figure, their hair stood on end!

Although not many of these people had actually fought against Yuzhi, Yuzhi's reputation had long been renowned throughout the ninja world, and his strength was universally acknowledged.

How could they not feel troubled and worried when this guy suddenly appeared here?

"Uchiha Haori"

Killer Bee's expression was somewhat complicated. He hadn't expected to run into Yuri in this place, but he couldn't dwell on it now.

Even though he didn't agree with the action, he couldn't afford to think about it anymore; he had to boost morale and make a decision!

"Fifth Hokage, isn't it a bit presumptuous of you to show up here alone?"

"Are you being arrogant?"

Yuzhi tilted his head, curiously scanning the five people who were standing at attention, and then asked with amusement.

"Does it mean facing you five worthless scoundrels? I don't think so."

Ninjas are all concerned about their reputation, especially powerful ones. Yui's disdain for them immediately ignited their anger.

Perhaps the haori is indeed very strong, but how can they tolerate such contempt, especially since they are all Jinchūriki?

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you guys."

Yu Zhi clearly had no interest in saying much more to them. He simply looked at the people in front of him with amusement and then chuckled before speaking.

"I'll give you a chance. Come at me all at once, use whatever power you have, but..."

At this point, Yuzhi paused slightly before continuing with a playful expression.

"You only get one chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you. If you do, you win. If you don't, you lose."

"I'm going to put collars on you and all those little guys inside you, one by one!"

Yuzhi spoke very calmly, but her calmness was filled with the arrogance of someone in a superior position.

Killer Bee and the other Jinchuriki felt a chill run down their spines for some reason; they felt as if they were being watched by some terrifying life form!

"It's even more terrifying than it was back then."

Killer Bee and others who had fought with Yui before muttered to themselves, the silent pressure making it hard for them to breathe.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Since Yuzhi has already spoken, they must seize the opportunity!

They exchanged a glance, then nodded, and at that moment, the chakra of the tailed beasts appeared in their bodies.

Ninjas are always ruthless and will stop at nothing. If they don't seize this opportunity given to them by Yuzhi, then they are truly doomed!

"You arrogant bastard, die!"

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki had the most volatile temper. He originally had no desire to participate in such a war, but Onoki stopped him.

After thoroughly analyzing the pros and cons and learning about Konoha's "ambition," he had no choice but to do something, no matter how unwilling he was.

The Hokage of Konoha is right here. If they can kill this guy, it will be a good thing for all of them!

His body was completely covered in red and black chakra, and the chakra of the tailed beast spread throughout the forest. His mouth was open, and powerful chakra had already condensed.

The black light spots quickly condensed and compressed, and before long a huge sphere appeared!

"Oh, so you're using the Tailed Beast Ball?"

Yuri raised an eyebrow, but he didn't seem to care. The next moment, the Tailed Beast Ball was already hurtling towards him!

"This is utterly reckless!"

The fact that the Tailed Beast Ball was used at such close range made the other Jinchūriki frown, but they didn't say anything and kept their eyes fixed on Haori.

"How arrogant!"

Yuri remained motionless, watching as the Tailed Beast Ball hurtled towards him. However, the next moment, all the Jinchuriki witnessed a scene they would never forget.

Six deep, ink-black spheres suddenly appeared, forming a circle behind Yuri.

In an instant, the six spheres suddenly scattered, turning into tiny black specks of dust with a bang, scattered in the air, undetectable even to those with the strongest senses.

Just as the pitch-black sphere turned to dust, the Tailed Beast Ball suddenly stopped in front of Yuri, unable to move an inch further!

It was as if it had crashed into an invisible barrier. Even if it suddenly exploded the next moment, with intense flashes of light and terrifying energy bombardment, everything around it was being broken down, but it could not cross the line!

Yuzhi stood right in the center of the explosion, his face calm and serene as he watched everything around him turn to ashes.

Just at the most intense moment of the explosion, he suddenly waved his hand gently, and for a moment space seemed to freeze, and time seemed to slow down.

A massive black hole appeared before him, and this black hole quickly absorbed all the power of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion.

Before him, all around him, and in the bewildered gazes of the other Jinchūriki, everything returned to calm.

Only the desolate earth and the trees that had turned to ashes around it testified to the true existence of this Tailed Beast Ball!

"What...what is this?"

Killer Bee stared blankly at the scene before him, but the next moment a violent roar suddenly appeared in the distance.

Following the sound of the explosion, they saw a huge mushroom cloud appear in the distance, and the surging shockwave had already hit them in an instant.

The terrifying impact instantly wiped out everything in the forest, and flames suddenly rose up at that moment.

Looking at the center of the explosion, all the Jinchuriki fell silent. If they hadn't been covered by the Tailed Beast's chakra, one could probably have seen the shock and terror on their faces.

"That direction."

That area was where their troops were assembled, but now it has been destroyed, and those who gathered there have probably turned to ashes!

"Blocking the Tailed Beast Ball attack and simultaneously diverting its explosive power—is that really something a human can do?"

The chill in the hearts of all the Jinchūriki intensified, and they seemed to be able to sense the changes in the Tailed Beasts within them.

It was awe, it was fear!

Fear was evident in the tailed beasts; this was truly the first time they had ever encountered it!

"Alright, I've given you your chance, but it seems you're not very capable."

Just as they were feeling lost, Yuzhi spoke up again.

"So, are you all ready?"

Yuri's voice remained as calm as ever, but its judgmental tone made all the Jinchuriki present unable to hold back.

They don't need to communicate at all, or even have much communication with the tailed beasts inside them.

In an instant, the tailed beasts frantically released their chakra, and their figures expanded wildly at that moment!

Ow—

With a series of roars, six enormous creatures appeared in the destroyed forest, their terrifying pressure spreading wildly in all directions!

Yu Zhi looked up at the six giant beasts that resembled hills before him, and after a while, he gently shook his head.

"This is really troublesome, but it doesn't matter."

"It won't be long before it's over."
