Chapter 227

Although Yuri launched a "heavy attack" outside Konoha Village, the Kage of various villages were also "held hostage" inside the training grounds.

However, those ninjas who had already entered Konoha and participated in the attack were unaware of this information.

They continued their attack methodically, but this attack was clearly a good thing for Konoha.

If they collapse too quickly, it will be too boring and will not achieve the goal of Konoha training new recruits.

Just as Hagoromo said to Nagato, it's practically a 'new world' now!

"Everyone, be careful!"

Battles are raging throughout Konoha Village, but the Konoha ninjas have gained a decisive advantage.

Not many external enemies entered, and many of them were completely wiped out, while the number of people inside was not large.

The nature of the battle changed after the police department completely evacuated the residents.

Uchiha Izumi was leading Kimimaro and Haku in fighting against several Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure ninjas, but there were even more enemies lying on the ground around them.

Uchiha Izumi was already a Jonin, and being the same age as Uchiha Itachi, she was already an elite member of Konoha. However, she did not join the police department, but instead became a Jonin leading a team.

Kimimaro and Haku are her younger brothers after all, so she naturally wants to continue leading these two little ones, and Hagoromo doesn't seem to mind.

Their squad was already an elite team consisting of one Jonin and two Chunin, and they seemed to handle these ninjas with ease.

"Sister Quan, it seems like there are more people on the other side now."

Haku controlled his Ice Release and surveyed his surroundings. Then he whispered to Uchiha Izumi, which made Izumi roll her eyes.

"I've already said it, I was with my teacher while leading the team, never mind, but I think the battle should be over."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Kimimaro nodded. The torrential chakra surge he had just witnessed made him realize that it was Haori who had made her move!

After all, in his understanding, only Yuzhi could be this strong.

Everyone else is nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of Yuzhi.

"Since Lady Hagoromo has already made her move, I must do something too!"

Kimimaro spoke in a low voice, and Izumi couldn't help but retort.

"Although the power burst just now was very strong, it can't necessarily be Lady Hagoromo, can it? And are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'll be fine, Izumi-neechan."

Kimimaro nodded. Like Haku, he didn't have a teacher named Izumi. Calling him "teacher" felt too formal, and he didn't like that way of addressing him.

"With the help of Lady Hagoromo and Brother Kabuto, my physical condition is excellent, and I can do everything I'm capable of!"

Kimimaro spoke calmly, his expression remaining unchanged even as the number of enemies around him increased.

Moreover, he spoke with great confidence, as he had never stopped developing his bloodline limit over the years, and he could already use the power of his bloodline limit.

Of course, he also noticed the effects of the bloodline power on him, and he didn't hide it from them but told Yuki and the others.

Kabuto also demonstrated his value. After some research, treatment, and even with Tsunade's assistance, he was able to control his bloodline limit issue very well.

After all, Yuri had made the judgment long ago that the Taketori clan was a representative of Yang Release, and it lacked the power of Yin Release to neutralize it.

The best way to neutralize the power of the Bamboo Cutter is through the power of the Hyuga clan, and the Hagoromo clan has quite a few of these.

Kimimaro is doing very well now, and he has gotten used to not relying on the power of his bloodline limit.

Not relying on it doesn't mean not using it. When necessary, he will still use it without hesitation, just like now!

As more and more people gathered around him, Kimimaro didn't care that many of them seemed terrified.

His chakra surged, and the next moment he leaped up and rushed into the crowd.

"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Early Fern!"

In an instant, countless sharp white bones rose from the ground, and the surrounding houses were instantly pierced to pieces.

Countless people were pierced by these suddenly appearing bone spurs, their blood flowing everywhere.

"Be careful, Hinata, and remember, don't hesitate at all when you strike; they are all enemies."

On the other side, Neji was fighting with Hinata, while Lee and Tenten were providing support, and Kiba and Shino were also constantly making use of their strengths.

It wasn't unusual for the two teams to meet, and they were quite familiar with each other.

After all, Neji and Hinata have a good relationship, and besides, Neji is also a disciple of Hagoromo, so everyone is willing to listen to his jokes and stories!

As the Hokage's disciple, Neji did indeed receive a rather harsh "lesson," but it is undeniable that his strength is truly formidable.

"I understand, Neji-nii-san."

Hinata nodded, forcing herself to calm down as she watched the enemies surging towards her, while Neji pursed his lips.

This girl, why is she so timid?

Of course, that's not entirely accurate. A more precise statement would be that she seems to have some underlying issues with her mindset.

However, Neji was too lazy to dwell on these things. Looking at the increasing number of enemies, he took a deep breath.

"Li, coordinate with me! Kiba, Shino, you two keep an eye on the enemy's movements. Let's go!"

"good!"

Xiao Li immediately shouted, while Kiba and Shino pursed their lips, as if they were going to go it alone and leave them behind.

However, they only muttered a few words to themselves, after all, Neji's strength was truly formidable, and they really needed to rely on Neji.

Everything that happened today was quite unexpected for them, and they couldn't help but recall their elders' warnings—to be careful in everything they did today, and if things got too difficult, to stay with the Jonin!

At first they were quite puzzled, but now they understand that everyone knows something big is happening.

"Why didn't they stop it beforehand?"

They couldn't help but mutter to themselves, but they would only mutter a few words. After all, they shouldn't try to guess what the adults were trying to do; perhaps they would find out later.

"Oh!"

Just as they were pondering, Neji was enveloped in white light, and two lions materialized in his hands.

The next moment, he leaped up and charged into the crowd, causing chaos among the invading ninjas.

"Damn it, it's all your fault for pretending to faint! Now we're all trapped here!"

Inside the training ground, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji stood back to back, watching the enemies approaching from all sides. Ino spoke with some difficulty.

Although the enemy's Kage had been defeated, these ninjas became even more frenzied.

Those who can enter here are either their own shadow's direct subordinates or the most loyal members of the dark side.

If Shadow is going to lose, they will do anything to rescue their Shadow, which has led them to launch a desperate attack.

The moment the attack began, Shikamaru realized something was wrong, so he immediately pretended to faint, while pulling Choji and Ino along with him.

After all, in their eyes, the Fifth Hokage could easily end everything with a single move, but no one expected that he would turn around and leave.

"Who would have thought that the Hokage would actually leave?"

Shikamaru was a little annoyed. Who would have thought he'd be so unlucky as to encounter something like this?

However, he remained calm and quickly spoke while looking at the crowd around him.

"But it's not a big deal. Kaka, the western governor, and Teacher Kai are both here, so we're relatively relaxed. Don't worry."

"Shikamaru is right."

Choji nodded quickly, and the two of them talking in unison almost made Ino roll her eyes.

However, just as she was about to speak, Shikamaru interrupted her.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. What we need to do now is withstand the onslaught of these guys and wait for it all to end!"

After all, their shadow has already lost, and there's not much we need to do. We also need to adjust to the current situation.

"adapt?"

Ino looked at Shikamaru with some confusion, not quite understanding what he meant by saying that.

However, Shikamaru shook his head without explaining. He was a smart man and could naturally see many problems.

It's really strange that Konoha, which is incredibly strong, could be attacked like this. Besides, his father had subtly warned him to be careful last night.

"Obviously, all of this was arranged, and the purpose of the Chunin Exams was to let us see blood and know the cruelty of the ninja world."

Now that we're letting them attack directly, we have an excuse to retaliate, so…

Therefore, they will inevitably have to engage in brutal battles with other villages in the future!

Thinking of this, Shikamaru felt a little dejected and could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

"This is really troublesome!"

-

"Gaara, these are all villagers. Have you forgotten who you are?"

"I've always known who I am, and I know exactly what I'm doing. Don't talk to me like that."

On the other side of the training ground, Gaara stood with his arms crossed, surrounded by swirling yellow sand.

Moreover, the power of the One-Tailed Beast has already blossomed within him!

Gaara never wasted his time following Nagato; he kept Haori's words in mind and kept trying to control the One-Tailed Beast.

One-Tail is quite stubborn and not someone who is easily subdued, but the seal of the Hagoromo and the subsequent reinforcement by Nagato left One-Tail truly helpless.

Gaara, through training, gradually became able to control some of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

Even a single wisp of a tailed beast's chakra would be a tremendous boost for a human.

Faced with Temari's questioning, he simply shook his head. Gaara's strength at this moment was significantly greater than his crazy self in the original story!

This makes it very easy for him to deal with his current enemies, and he shows no mercy or hesitation.

After all, Yashamaru wanted to kill him, his father wanted to execute him, and Yashamaru said that his mother also hated him!

He truly had no attachment to his family or village anymore, especially after having relatives like Nagato and mentors like Haori.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you should still have some value."

Gaara remained calm as he looked at the barely breathing Maki, and the disheveled Temari and Kankuro. He summoned the sandstorm once more.

The swirling sandstorm left the Sand Village ninjas drenched in sweat, while Gaara calmly stared at them and spoke.

"This time, I'll finish this battle!"

-

Intense battles are raging throughout Konoha, especially after the police force joined the fighting after evacuating its personnel, turning the situation into a one-sided affair.

Konoha wasn't very well prepared, and those who knew about it were mostly Konoha's Jonin and clan ninjas who might have guessed the situation.

However, Konoha's reaction speed is extremely fast. Ever since the Nine-Tails incident, when the village was first truly attacked by an enemy within its own borders, Konoha's response mechanism has become exceptionally sophisticated.

In the original story, Konoha's retreat, protection, and counterattack were done very well, and now that Yuuki has become Hokage, he will naturally not fall behind in any way.

Especially since he was once the head of Konoha's "military police and special agents," even though he is now the "person in charge" of Konoha, he has always put the safety of the village first.

The invading ninjas were completely stunned by the attack!

They were nowhere to be seen, reinforcements were scattered, and the main attackers, the Jinchūriki and the Tailed Beasts, were nowhere to be seen either.

They had their own suspicions: perhaps the terrifying chakra tide they witnessed earlier was caused by someone attacking a tailed beast, otherwise such a huge commotion wouldn't have occurred.

Not only did torrential rain begin to fall from the sky, but the earth also began to shake violently, a situation that truly chilled them to the bone!

"This is really going to be terrible, not just for us, but for the whole village."

Many ninjas had already figured out the key, but even if they had, it wouldn't have made any difference.

On the high platform of the training ground, space suddenly distorted, and a black hole appeared in the next moment, from which Yu Zhi's figure slowly emerged.

After glancing at the current situation, Yuzhi suddenly laughed.

"It seems I don't need to do anything; you've already solved the problem."

"Actually, I didn't expect it to be so easy."

Minato scratched the back of his head, looking at the three Kage who had been defeated and were now sealed with chakra seals, and said with a bit of a laugh.

Minato himself was somewhat surprised, because he found that the opponent was indeed not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined.

But upon closer reflection, he realized it was only natural, given how much they had grown over the years!

Moreover, these growth experiences are more or less related to the haori (feathered garment).

For example, Minato himself only had more ideas and research because of the appearance of the second generation, and together they explored various possibilities.

Needless to say, Tsunade was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation of Haori, who also received a cell transplant, resulting in the current situation.

As for his teacher, Minato thought it was very likely that he saw those "prophecies" and that this helped him strengthen his weaknesses.

But it cannot be denied that Yuzhi persuaded his teacher, which gave his teacher such motivation!

"Fifth Hokage, were you the one who made all that noise just now?"

The Third Hokage rubbed his shoulder and walked over. He had enjoyed his fight with Orochimaru very much.

Although the battle was ostensibly a friendly exchange, neither side intended to stop there, and they employed a variety of techniques, including some forbidden ones.

However, this battle was eventually forced to end due to the vast tide of chakra, but fortunately, both sides had enjoyed themselves.

However, the third generation was getting old, and after only a short time of action, he already felt somewhat uncomfortable all over.

But he didn't have time to care right now; what he wanted to know more about was the outside situation. Who knew what impact such an impact would have on Konoha!

"Yes, it's me."

Yuzhi nodded slightly. Of course, he knew what the Third Hokage was worried about. He smiled and said.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm controlling my own strength, and I've also adjusted the flow of power spatially, otherwise..."

Do you think Konoha can still be so peaceful now?

Yuri explained it simply, but Minato and the Third Hokage were somewhat confused. However, this matter was actually not complicated for Yuri.

Perhaps it's because his strength has reached this stage that he only needs a thought to easily modify things according to the 'rules of matter' and then complete the task.

However, these so-called changes to the 'matter rules' must be abilities that Yuzhi has already mastered, and even then, the 'modification' is only superficial; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do it.

But this is already exaggerated enough, considering that he possesses abilities that include both time and space—two terrifying powers!

Even with the slightest modification, these two abilities would still have an astonishing effect; at least the power tide wouldn't actually crash into Konoha.

After all, the power of the haori is now excessively strong; even its shockwaves are harmful to people.

Such a shockwave is not like the kind that just brushes against the outside without penetrating; it can directly blast a person into a carbon cycle of material damage!

If such damage and power are not controlled, it will probably end up like the 6,000-degree summer festival held in Hiroshima by the Americans in Yuzhi's previous life, where "a few people" would die.

"However, my attack does have some impact on the terrain, but it doesn't matter. The only impact is that the road becomes a little more difficult to travel."

Yuzhi glanced at the land affected by his power in the distance, and he felt that Konoha was about to have another big deal.

Although he made some 'rule changes' for the village, ensuring there were no problems for the village and its inhabitants, he had no interest in caring about the place where he was fighting.

Despite the devastation he caused, which resembled an apocalyptic scene of "dark clouds obscuring the sun, rivers drying up, and wildfires burning mountains," in reality, he only caused the earth to collapse by a maximum of a hundred meters.

It's not even a kilometer away, it's no big deal.

Whether the ninja world is the same as Earth is unclear to Hagoromo, but it is highly likely that they are not different.

The Earth's diameter is over 12,000 kilometers, so even if he blasted the Earth down by 10,000 meters...

In basketball terms, it's like poking a tiny hole of 0.2 millimeters in the surface—it barely goes in.

"That's good."

The Third Generation still felt back pain. After hearing what Yuzhi said, he nodded and didn't say anything more, but he was also really feeling that he was getting old.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this after only a short fight with Orochimaru.

Yuri walked up to Onoki and the others, who looked ashen-faced, and gently shook her head as she looked at the imprisoned group.

"Why bother? Are you only satisfied after you've made yourself into this mess?"

Haori's voice was calm, but Onoki and the others remained silent.

They all knew they had lost, and they had lost terribly!

Because they really didn't expect that someone would betray their own village to help Konoha!

Entering Konoha for battle is indeed risky, but a large-scale invasion, if well-prepared and unprepared, can definitely cause Konoha considerable pain.

As long as the desired effect is achieved and an orderly retreat is implemented, without giving Konoha any chance to recover, and by engaging Konoha in a multi-front war, even if your people are strong, they can only passively defend.

This is why they dared to take action, and in order to prevent Yuki and the others from causing trouble in Konoha, they even summoned the Jinchuriki.

As long as the tailed beasts wreak havoc within Konoha, they can both restrain Haori and destroy any valuable targets.

But now everything has come to naught; all their efforts have been in vain!

"Don't look at me like that. Even if Master Yuan doesn't make the right choice, you won't have much of a chance."

Yuzhi gently shook his head. He waved his hand, and in an instant, the surrounding barrier disappeared. As the barrier disappeared, countless Konoha ninjas gathered in this direction.

"Admittedly, the fact that all of you Shadows attacked together might surprise and embarrass me, but it seems quite difficult to restrain me."

Besides, Konoha is full of talented people. Do you really think your fantasy can come true? Obviously, you guys are still dreaming!

However, I understand your fear. Rather than being silently worn down, rather than not knowing when I'll strike, wouldn't it be better to take the initiative and hope to win a victory?

Yuzhi's words left Onoki and the others speechless. They did indeed think that way. If they could pull off a big heist, they wouldn't have to worry about "looking around and Konoha already arriving."

If that doesn't work, then so many lines of conflict will drain Konoha's energy. At least this way, we won't have to worry about losing five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, because Konoha can't spread out so many lines of attack.

However, sometimes they can only say that they are overthinking things.

They really are like innocent zeros who have encountered a cunning one, and there's always a way to teach them what it means to be wrong!

After all, with absolute power, many things become straightforward and simple.

"To put it bluntly, you're just desperate."

Yuzhi smiled slightly, and his gaze began to change.

"But this is good too. Although I never thought of using force to unify the ninja world, I would be letting myself down if I didn't seize the opportunity when it came."

Perhaps I should really thank you; you've presented me with this opportunity, and if I don't do something, I'd truly be letting you down.

At this point, Yuzhi paused slightly, looking at the increasing number of Konoha ninjas gathering below. He raised his chakra and moved it slightly, and the next moment his voice covered the entire Konoha.

"Konoha has officially declared war on Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and their allies!"

You have provoked us into war without cause, and you will surely suffer the consequences!

As Yuri's voice rang out, the entire Hidden Leaf Village erupted in a deafening roar.

Only a minority of ninjas knew the truth; the vast majority of Konoha ninjas were filled with anger. They opened the gates and invited everyone to participate in the grand Chunin Exams.

However, these guys took advantage of them to launch a shameless sneak attack and cause such chaos in their own homeland, which made all the Konoha ninjas extremely angry.

They will definitely retaliate for such a thing; they cannot let this situation go unpunished. They must punish these villains!

"Declare war!"

"Declare war!"

"Declare war!"

The shouts of the Konoha ninjas were deafening, and the ninjas from other villages who had not yet been completely wiped out turned pale; they knew they were truly doomed.

"You will regret this. No one will truly obey you. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure, as well as all the places you have invaded, will rebel against your tyranny!"

Seeing the high morale of Konoha and hearing the cheers, Onoki could no longer remain silent.

He gritted his teeth, stared at the haori, and then roared.

"You can never conquer us; we have our own will!"

"Maybe so. I know you can't force things, but..."

Haori tilted her head, looked at Onoki in front of her, and suddenly chuckled.

"But it quenches thirst. As for those who resist me, rest assured, you will meet in the Pure Land."

The difference is that they go down first, while you will survive, and I will let you see your beloved village.

Or rather, I've been destroying the foundation of your rights bit by bit, and the reason you're resorting to desperate measures is simply to retain your power, isn't it?

Of course, it's possible that you don't want the hard work of your predecessors to be ruined in your hands, but you are all adults, and you have to pay the price for your mistakes.

"I'm a good person, and I'll make you watch as I destroy all of this with my own hands. You don't need to thank me."

Although Yuzhi was smiling, his voice was as cold as iron, and that chilling light echoed in the hearts of Onoki and the others.

In that instant, they truly felt that the haori wasn't human; this guy was truly a demon crawled out of hell—

"The situation in Konoha should be over by now, right?"

Outside Konoha, Nagato continued towards the Land of Rain with Konan, clutching several scrolls tightly in his hand.

And inside these scrolls is the chakra of the tailed beasts!

He didn't try to capture any Jinchuriki because it wasn't necessary for him. All he needed was chakra, and he didn't care what those guys were like.

All he needs to do now is pour that chakra into the Gedo Mazo and successfully activate it!

"Then, some idiot will make a move, and it would be best if he did so during wartime, so I can prepare myself."

As Nagato thought to himself, he began to speed up, and his heartbeat quickened.

"The day has finally come; everything is about to begin!"

-

In the Land of Earth, within the Hidden Stone Village, Danzo waits anxiously.

After being resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he came to Iwagakure and revealed a lot of secrets to Onoki, which allowed Onoki to launch an attack.

He is now waiting for the results so he can make further judgments.

"I hope it succeeds, but I also hope it doesn't."

Danzo was conflicted at this point. Konoha was ultimately his, and he didn't want things to get too messy, but he also wanted to end it all and just let Konoha collapse.

However, just as he was anxiously waiting, a mournful bell suddenly rang out, and at that moment his expression became extremely complicated.

"Lost? Or did they really lose?"

The next moment, he heard even more terrifying news—Konoha had declared war on all villages!
