Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 104 The Earth Shadow and the Hokage, the Battle of the Two Kage (Please Subscribe!)

Da da da—

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi left, the Hokage's direct subordinates, who had been hiding nearby, disappeared into the shadows. The sound of their footsteps faded into the distance, and the Root organization base fell into dead silence.

Koharu turned to look at Mitokado Homura.

She shook her head and sighed:

"Let's begin researching forbidden techniques!"

"Yes, I'll have this place sealed off. I didn't expect Konoha to have come to this so quickly." Mitokado Homura said worriedly, adjusting his glasses and asking, "Are you prepared to be reprimanded by the teacher?"

After a long silence, Xiaochun, who had just switched dorm rooms, shook her head bitterly.

"Back then, our teacher entrusted Konoha to the monkey and asked us to assist him. But... well, let's just take it one step at a time. It's better to see Konoha destroyed in our hands than to suffer the infamy of losing our country and village."

Both of them fell silent.

They simply couldn't imagine what the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, would think if he saw Konoha in its current state after they resurrected him using Edo Tensei.

What frightened and unsettled them even more was the wrath of that ninja god.

"In my memory, that ninja god has always been a very kind old man..."

Mitomon Yan felt guilty.

Once they resurrect the former Hokage of Konoha, they will inevitably face questioning from the First Hokage and others.

Koharu, who was turning over a new bed, lamented:

"He had a good personality, but the First Hokage always had a tough attitude when it came to issues concerning the ninja villages."

"Sigh—it's all that evil Uchiha brat's fault, otherwise Konoha wouldn't be in such a mess!" Mitokado Homura raised his hand to press his forehead and waved towards the door.

Swah——

With a flash of black shadows, three ninjas dressed in Konoha green vests arrived instantly, crouching in front of the two Hokage advisors.

"Send a few more teams over to guard the Root organization's base until the war ends. No one except the Hokage and us can be allowed in."

Mitomon Homura placed his hands behind his back, his face showing no trace of his previous unease. He issued orders with an air of authority, befitting someone in a high position.

"yes--"

The leading Konoha ninja lowered his head in response, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Sir, what if it were Itachi Uchiha, the former leader of the Root organization, who came?"

Xiaochun's face darkened as she turned to her new room.

Mitokado Homura said in a deep voice, "You said it yourself, he's an ex."

"Understood!"

The three-person team dispersed, with two hiding in the darkness and the third going to assign tasks to guard the Root organization's base.

Until the storage room was empty.

Xiaochun, who was turning over in her dorm, said coldly:

"The true leader of Root is only Danzo. As for Itachi, he's just a useless pawn to be discarded. Does he even deserve the title?"

"Speaking of Itachi... he's mostly crippled now, and he's almost at the age to get married and have children. Why not let him have offspring in the future, so that Konoha can have a controllable Uchiha lineage? What do you think?"

This thought suddenly popped into Mitokado Yan's mind, and his wrinkled face gradually softened.

In this way, Tobirama's questioning of them would not be so severe.

Koharu thought about it seriously for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "That's a good idea. Let Monkey decide on this matter after the war is over!"

"Um."

Outside Konoha Village.

squeak--

The gate slowly opened, and countless Konoha ninjas, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, marched in a mighty, unstoppable force toward the northwest.

The ground trembled slightly.

Dust storms are rising.

A large number of ninjas put their hands behind their backs, lowered their bodies, and rushed forward.

Since the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha has once again entered a state of war.

At the front of the group, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt slightly uneasy. He and the heads of the various clans would handle the external enemies of the ninja village, while the internal defenses of the village would be guarded by two advisors and some elite clan ninjas...

He always felt that problems might arise within the ninja village after he left.

"Given the location of the Land of Fire and Konoha in the eastern part of the ninja world, it is very difficult for other ninja villages to launch a surprise attack on Konoha. The most convenient place to launch a surprise attack on Konoha is the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water overseas."

During the Third Shinobi World War, Kirigakure sent the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to do something similar.

However, the Hidden Mist is currently in chaos.

Despite the village being sealed off and no news getting out, its predicament can be inferred from the number of rogue ninja in Kirigakure.

Hiruzen Sarutobi mentally reviewed the situation in the ninja world, his brows gradually furrowing as he sighed inwardly:

"I hope this is just my imagination!"

As for Sunagakure, the Konoha leadership has already requested cooperation, hoping that Sunagakure can seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Iwagakure from the north when Iwagakure launches a surprise attack on Konoha.

However, the Sand Village is now weak, and this year, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has cut off the ninja military expenditure several times.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dared not place his bets on the young Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

This is what Konoha is most worried about right now.

It was another surprise attack from the Hidden Cloud Village.

……

……

The Land of Soup.

Tangren Village.

In the hot spring inn where Yinyue was staying, it was almost noon, and the view outside the window was getting brighter.

"Ugh—"

Mikoto's breathing became even as she gradually awoke, feeling refreshed but as if her body were falling apart.

Last night, the moonlit drink was indeed gentle, but its duration and frequency couldn't compensate.

She suddenly felt warmth creeping into her arms; someone was leaning closer, and a rich fragrance wafted over.

Mikoto opened her eyes and was surprised to find that Tsunade was looking up at her.

The two locked eyes.

Awkward--!!!

The two quickly closed their eyes.

Suddenly, the dress covered their faces.

Standing by the window, Yin Yue tossed their clothes onto them and urged them on:

"Put the food on the table, get dressed, eat lunch, and get ready to go!"

"asshole!!!"

Suppressing her shame, Tsunade gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, then fiercely pounced on Yinyue from under the covers.

She was as swift as the wind, her movements decisive and swift, like a cheetah charging forward.

Clang—

Yin Yue's eyes flashed crimson, and his Eight Thousand Spears Mangekyou Sharingan spun. With just one glare, Tsunade's expression froze, and she stood there dumbfounded before obediently getting dressed.

"Lord Yinyue..."

Mikoto pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed, and remained silent. She quickly dressed, knelt obediently on the tatami mat, and enjoyed her food with Tsunade.

"If you're so capable, break free from this control and fight me fair and square!!" Tsunade cursed angrily as she ate, her anger surging like a raging torrent.

"It's not the right time yet, but that day will come!"

Yin Yue took out a bottle of green medicine, gulped it down, and felt her strength increase slightly.

Mikoto drank the porridge, glancing sideways at the bamboo forest outside the window, and sighed with guilt, "I'm sorry, Fugaku... Sasuke needs a new home."

……

……

Two days later.

Kikyo Castle.

The flames of war raged, black smoke billowed, the city walls were broken and riddled with holes, as if it had been ravaged by natural disaster, and the corpses of ninjas were scattered all over the place.

In a forest, the last Konoha southwestern defense force was surrounded by Iwa ninja.

With this, Kikyo Castle fell, and the Iwa ninja broke through the Land of Fire's border defenses. They could then advance unimpeded towards Konoha!

"Death will only ignite the Will of Fire within us, illuminating the new life of Konoha. We will never become prisoners of war of the Iwa ninja!!"

A Konoha ninja, filled with anger and unease, stood frozen in place, gripping his ninja sword, leading his wounded teammates, facing the oncoming Iwa ninja, and glaring angrily at the flying old man.

"Ha, can the Will of Fire save you? But I admire your ability to hold out for so long, so I'll grant you some respect!"

Onoki's gaze was as deep as an ancient well. He slowly flew into the sky, spread his arms, aimed at the remnants of Konoha's army, and gathered chakra:

"Dust Release: Limit Demise Technique!"

hum-

Space tremors.

The white light was blinding.

With the release of the Bloodline Limit, the core power of the square Dust Release converged, expanded, and enveloped an area within a hundred feet of the remnants of Konoha, while the beam contracted.

These remnants of Konoha showed fear and despair on their faces, their pupils contracting and reflecting the white light.

Under the decomposition of the ultimate power resulting from the fusion of the three chakra natures of wind, earth, and fire, their bodies were reduced to atomic states and dissipated with the wind.

"call--"

Ōnoki hovered in the air, panting heavily, and took out a soldier's ration pill from his pocket and ate it to replenish his chakra.

This Konoha border defense force was originally stationed in the southwest to defend against Sunagakure.

However, after the defeat of Konoha's northwestern forces, Konoha could only rob Peter to pay Paul.

No one in the team could stand up to Onoki.

This Konoha force in the southwest region delayed the Iwa ninja for several days before being completely annihilated.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we only lost 20% of our ninjas in this annihilation of Konoha's southwestern defense forces," the rugged-looking Wen Ya asked.

He was the Iwagakure Jonin who had previously questioned why Onoki didn't use force against the Uchiha clan, and he was also a new generation of ninja that Onoki was training for Iwagakure.

The casualty ratio of Iwagakure this time was quite good.

"Hehe, this is what happens when there's no strong leader to guide the team," Onoki chuckled.

"Lord Tsuchikage, shall we proceed with a direct assault on Konoha?" Wen Ya asked gravely.

Ōnoki hovered high in the sky, scanning the forest outside Kikyo Castle from above. A cold smile appeared on his old face: "I also want to go straight into Konoha, but some people disagree. Heh, the real battle is yet to come!"

The voice just fell.

whoosh-

The sound of wind breaking.

The long, black rod appeared and swept across the air from left to right towards Onoki.

It was entirely black with gold-plated ends, appearing to weigh a fortune, and destroyed a large number of trees nearby.

"Diamond Staff!" Onoki's pupils contracted, and his hands methodically formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Weighted Rock Technique!"

Earth-attribute chakra flowed through his entire body, increasing Onoki's weight. His short stature plummeted as the iron rod swept across his head.

shocking.

If this blow hits, Onoki, who is suspended in the air, will probably be smashed into a pulp by the iron rod.

At the same time.

The Iwa ninja on the ground faced off against a large number of Konoha ninja who suddenly emerged from the forest.

Ding ding—

Kunai clashed with kunai, ninjutsu clashed with ninjutsu, roars shook the heavens, and a great battle was about to break out.

"Will the Hokage personally lead the team?"

Onoki, his brow furrowed and eyes cold, dodged the sweeping attack of the Vajra Staff. Before landing, he released the weight he had placed on himself, planted his feet firmly on the ground, faced the lowest point of the Vajra Staff, and formed a hand seal:

"Earth Release: Rock Arm!!!"

Hundreds of meters away.

Rumbling--

The ground trembled violently.

Holding the long "Diamond Staff", Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly looked down at his feet, his brows furrowed. He saw a huge rocky hand emerge from the ground, enveloping him and squeezing him tightly.

puff-

Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest was instantly crushed, and he spat out blood. The next moment, after a soft sound, he turned into dust.

"Shadow Clone..."

Onoki's lips curled up as he looked around and, sure enough, saw three dark figures rushing towards him at the same time.

These were the monkey demon who suddenly released his "Vajra Staff" state from the sky, and two shadow clones of Hiruzen Sarutobi who rushed in from the left and right.

"Earth Release: Rock Fist Technique!"

Onoki methodically infused his right arm with earth-style chakra, transforming it into a fist of rock.

then.

Turn around.

Swing your fist.

Onoki's forehead veins bulged, his teeth clenched, and his white beard flew wildly. In the instant he slammed his fist into the air, he once again used "Earth Release: Super Weighted Rock Technique" to enhance the impact of his rock fist.

"roar--"

The Monkey King, Enma, who fell from the sky, was equally unwilling to be outdone. He opened his huge mouth full of fangs and roared, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and clenched his huge iron fist to clash with Onoki.

The two fists collided.

bang——

Airflow impact.

The ground beneath Onoki's feet cracked, and the thousand-pound rock fist shattered inch by inch, but the tiger skin coat covering the ape demon burst open, and he was sent flying by a single punch.

"It's up to you!"

The ape demon roared, suffering the loss of its footing in mid-air, and was sent flying after exchanging punches.

With its indestructible body, Onoki's punch did not cause it any damage.

"drink--"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones had already arrived on both sides of Onoki, simultaneously clenching their fists and blasting them at Onoki's left and right sides, leaving him overwhelmed.

The wind from the punches was howling.

Ōnoki's short, elderly body was far more agile than Hiruzen Sarutobi had imagined.

He dodged the right punch from behind, then somersaulted backward to avoid the left punch. After landing, he slammed his hands on the ground: "Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

Rumbling--

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi's two shadow clones could react, the ground beneath their feet and the surrounding land suddenly slid down into a square, forming a deep pit.

bang bang-

Two soft sounds rang out, and two shadow clones of Hiruzen Sarutobi turned into dust in the deep pit.

The brief exchange ended.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face cold, slowly emerged from the forest, angrily rebuking:

"Onoki, go back. The ninja world has finally achieved peace. Do you want to reignite the war and cause further bloodshed?"

Upon hearing this, Onoki slowly turned around, leaped into the air, creating some distance between himself and his opponent, and sneered:

"You dare call Ōnoki by that name? I've caused such devastation to the ninja world? What about Konoha's massacre of the Uchiha clan and the slaughter of their civilians? What about that?"

Even though the Kage on both sides stopped fighting, after a fierce battle, the Iwa ninja and Konoha ninja were bloodthirsty and neither side would back down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened, and he roared:

"This is an internal matter of Konoha, and it's none of your business as the Tsuchikage. You Iwagakure want money, don't you? Just leave now, and we can still discuss things!"

Onoki threw his head back and laughed, his face full of contempt:

"What's going on inside Konoha? Yin Yue is considering whether to bring the Uchiha clan to join my Iwagakure."

As the future Kage of the Uchiha clan, how can I stand by and watch my clan be bullied like this by outsiders?

"To the Uchiha clan, who is the true outsider—Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"You..." Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, his sore spot struck, and roared, "Fine, you, Onoki, want to fight today? Then wait until Konoha recovers, and Iwagakure won't have a good time!"

Onoki shook his head and sighed:

"I thought you were going to say you'd crush my Iwagakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi. You haven't disappointed me, you're still as spineless as ever."

You want me to withdraw my troops, don't you?

Last time, when the Hidden Cloud Village stole the Byakugan from the Hidden Leaf Village, not only did you not have the courage to wage war against the Hidden Cloud Village, but you also forced the younger brother of the Hyuga clan leader to his death.

such.

"Give the Hyuga ninja who accompanied you this time, plus one member of the Hyuga main family, to Iwagakure, and I will immediately withdraw my troops!"

Onoki mustered his strength and shouted these words, his powerful voice echoing across the sky above the ninjas, surpassing even the sounds of their battle.

On the battlefield, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan's branch family ninjas trembled slightly, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. What Onoki had said was a painful point in their lives.

"That was Hizashi willingly sacrificing himself for Hiashi, for the peace of Konoha, for the peace of the ninja world. You wouldn't understand such a noble cause!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned blue and purple as he responded loudly.

This suggests that Iwagakure possessed a great deal of confidential information about Konoha, which was most likely leaked by Orochimaru and others who had defected from the village.

Onoki smiled knowingly:

"What a fine 'voluntary' statement! Whether it was truly voluntary or not, only you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, truly know!"

Having said that, Onoki aimed his hands at Hiruzen Sarutobi and swiftly unleashed a shot:

"Dust Release: Particle Style - Detachment Technique!"
