Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Root tissue base.

Dark and without light.

The basement lights, dimmed by the CD player, illuminated the old man's face, revealing his current hesitation.

"Hiruzen, say something!"

Xiaochun hurriedly said as she turned to her room.

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent again, her face darkened, and she was extremely anxious.

The Hokage of Konoha is ultimately Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now that he has returned, the decision to use forbidden techniques naturally rests in his hands.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance, both looking helpless.

"Lord Hokage, I...I want to leave here. I'm willing to go to the front lines!"

The Konoha ninja who was preordained as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, seeing the tense atmosphere, immediately expressed his thoughts, trying to buy himself a chance to survive.

He didn't know at first that becoming a test subject for the Impure World Reincarnation would require sacrificing his life.

The risk of the procedure failing is extremely high; if it fails, his dedication will be meaningless.

"well--"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, approached the Konoha ninja whose body was covered in seals, reached out to remove his Konoha headband, and comforted him:

"The front line is right at the village entrance. As long as you uphold the Will of Fire, you will become a hero of Konoha!"

After speaking, he turned and left. As he passed by Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, he whispered:

"Use it!"

"yes--"

Koharu's aged face immediately broke into a smile. In this way, even though she was the one who cast the spell, she didn't have to worry about being criticized afterward.

Mitokado Homura also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hiruzen, let's buy some time for Koharu!"

"This is the only way."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face pale, raised a hand to rub his temples and quickly left the basement.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Spare me! Save me!"

"Sandaime-sama!"

The wails of the "sacrifice" echoed from inside the room, then ceased completely after a moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't look back again, and led Homura Mitokado to the Hokage Building.

The moon set, and the night was completely replaced by the pale light of the horizon. Dawn and sunlight did not appear, and the sky was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.

The air is humid.

The temperature is low.

Outside Konoha Village, in the forest training grounds, Orochimaru stood on the snake's head with Kushina and Rin Nohara.

Initially, he planned to go directly to the Uzumaki Namendo, but after learning through the intelligence network that Yin Yue was heading to Konoha, he decided to wait there instead.

"Lord Orochimaru, hasn't the person you're waiting for arrived yet?" Rin asked curiously.

She had confirmed that this area was a training ground outside the ninja village, but the three of them had been waiting for several hours.

Orochimaru did not intend to answer Nohara Rin's question. Suddenly, he sensed an unusual movement in the east, so he turned his head to look.

"Hehe, they're here!"

Orochimaru smiled.

To the east, in the forest, on the horizon, a black dot appeared as it approached from afar.

Just for a moment.

The three of them then saw clearly that it was a huge king serpent with a completely crimson body rushing towards them.

the other side.

Yin Yue stood atop the head of the fanged snake, gazing at Orochimaru and his two companions, who were also standing atop snake heads.

"Captain, it's Lord Orochimaru, and two strangely shaped... female ninjas."

Nonou activated her Byakugan and stared ahead.

In her eyes, Kushina and Rin, resurrected through Edo Tensei, had strange characteristics and were not in line with ordinary people.

Behind the snake's body, Tamao sighed, "Female ninjas? Looks like I'll have to work harder. This time when I return to Konoha, I must capture some beautiful female ninjas for my elder brother. Let me think, what other beautiful female ninjas are there in Konoha..."

As he spoke, Tamao pondered seriously.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Nanfeng's lips twitched. He suddenly wanted to capture some female ninjas from Konoha, but after a moment's thought, he immediately shook his head.

Returning to Konoha this time will inevitably require constant fighting; there's no time for such things.

Five minutes later.

When Shinya met the giant snake, the pupils of the brown giant snake summoned by Orochimaru suddenly shrank.

It seemed to have an ingrained fear of Xinya.

Yin Yue saw the woman next to Orochimaru clearly, her expression changed slightly, and she guessed what the woman was thinking.

He frowned, his face grim, lamenting that his reputation had been unfairly damaged.

"You're here. From now on, you two will follow Lord Yinyue. Just do whatever he tells you to do!"

Orochimaru explained with a smile.

"Huh?" Kushina was confused, finding Orochimaru's words very strange.

"You are... Yin Yue!"

Lin saw Yin Yue, the one-eyed, crimson leader of the Ten Thousand Serpents, and immediately asked her questions.

In her opinion, Orochimaru probably wanted her and Lady Kushina to follow Yinyue on some special mission.

Before Yinyue could respond.

"Mikoto!!"

When Kushina saw a familiar face on the other side, she was overjoyed and immediately jumped on top of Shinja's head, grabbing Mikoto from the Uchiha team.

"Kushina!"

"ah--"

Mikoto gasped in surprise, a sharp pain shooting through her waist and hips. Caught off guard, she was tackled to the ground by Kushina.

Best friends meet.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

Yinyue glanced at the two people lying on the ground.

He recalled some details.

During their pregnancies, both Mikoto and Kushina went to Konoha Hospital for check-ups every day.

They were of equal status in the ninja village, and it is estimated that they became close friends around that time.

In Konoha Village, the two represented different political stances due to their identities, and could only exchange a few words of pleasantries when they met on the road.

Putting aside her identity, Kushina revealed her joy and excitement at seeing her best friend after so long.

"Mikoto, long time no see! But why do you look so frail now!"

After Kushina and Mikoto embraced tightly, Kushina smiled and immediately helped each other up from the ground.

"Leaving me aside, what about you... are you really Kushina?"

Mikoto blushed, but couldn't hide the joy of seeing her best friend.

She held her still-recovering lower back with one hand, gently pressing it to relieve the swelling and pain.

"It really is me! Orochimaru-senpai used a forbidden technique to summon me!"

Kushina's eyes widened, and she quickly explained.

"I see!"

Mikoto looked at Orochimaru, who was chatting with Yinyue, with a shocked expression.

Reviving the dead—such a forbidden technique exists in the ninja world? Fugaku…

She shook her head violently.

I dare not think any further.

I can only console myself that this kind of procedure is extremely difficult to succeed.

Just as shocked as Mikoto was Tsunade, who was standing behind everyone else.

"It really can bring the dead back to life..."

Tsunade's expression was somber. It wasn't until she saw Kushina and Rin that she believed that Yin Yue truly had the ability to revive those she cherished.

While chatting with Mikoto, Kushina looked around at the people on the head of the serpent.

Her gaze was focused on Yinyue.

Regarding this Uchiha.

She has no recollection of it at the moment.

Perhaps I saw Minato's ninja file on his desk back then, but it's been so long that I've forgotten all the details.

When Kushina saw Tsunade and Shizune, she exclaimed excitedly, "Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade's eyes flickered slightly as she realized that she shouldn't have revealed her identity.

Fortunately, Kushina simply waved to her and said hello.

"I didn't expect to find everyone here to be one of our own!"

Kushina glanced around and saw that everyone present was a Konoha ninja or Uchiha, and she immediately beamed with joy.

Despite being in the training field.

Kushina and Rin could also sense that Konoha was under attack at that moment.

Orochimaru must have been drawn to her and Rin by using Edo Tensei to resurrect them, because he valued her Uzumaki clan sealing techniques and Rin's medical ninjutsu.

Now everyone we've been waiting for has arrived.

Kushina thought that Orochimaru would definitely lead them to support Konoha, flanking the enemy from the rear and relieving Konoha from the siege.

The snake's head is in front.

Looking at Orochimaru and Rin, Yin Yue replied to Rin, "Long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Lin smiled and nodded gently.

After saying hello.

Actively retreat.

She secretly observed the other person and noticed something was amiss, clearly finding that this classmate, Yinyue, was very different from before.

During the Ninja Academy period.

Yin Yue has always been kind, always has a smile on her face, and is very warm-hearted and gentle towards her classmates.

He and Kakashi were both boys that Rin admired and loved the most.

It was only after weighing the pros and cons.

Lin felt that she preferred a cool and aloof boy like Kakashi.

But now Yin Yue is as cold as ice, seemingly uninterested in anything in the world.

This is so similar to Kakashi back then.

"well--"

Lin Xiuli's brows furrowed slightly, and she sighed inwardly.

It must be this dark and cold ninja world that caused Yin Yue to become what she is today.

However, judging from Lord Orochimaru, it seems that Yin Yue's current status is quite high.

Lin stood far away, lost in thought.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yinyue, there's not enough time. I'll finish researching the combination of the Raging Heaven and the Impure World Reincarnation and come to Konoha immediately to retrieve the Hokage's corpse."

Orochimaru said helplessly.

Yin Yue nodded, and the space in front of his right hand trembled slightly, revealing a bundle of scrolls.

He tossed the scroll to Orochimaru and explained:

"This is the Hozuki clan's secret technique, 'Water Transformation Technique.' In addition, I've collected some strange corpses along the way; you should be interested in studying them."

"As expected of you, Lord Yinyue, you never disappoint me and always manage to surprise me!"

Orochimaru reached out and took the scroll, opened it, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Yin Yue's expression remained normal as a notification indicating that the mission was complete appeared in her mind.

[Side Quest]: Help Your Allies

[Options]:

1. Collect water transformation techniques for Orochimaru.

mission completed!

[Reward]: Green Potion x1.

Yin Yue focused his mind and scanned the storage space. In the corner, there was an extra bottle of green medicine next to the two bottles.

The three bottles of green medicine were neatly arranged.

Seeing that the security measures had been improved, Yin Yue was in a good mood and quickly gathered her thoughts.

Orochimaru also took out a scroll, handed it to Yin Yue, and said with a smile:

"The impure corpses of Asuma, Jiraiya, and En no Gyōja are sealed inside. The former two have been modified and now also possess the forbidden technique, Rage of Heaven. You can control them to make them an infinitely usable forbidden human technique."

"good."

Yin Yue smiled slightly and put the scroll into her storage space.

He could already foresee the scene of mushroom clouds exploding over Konoha after Hiruzen Sarutobi and his son Asuma Sarutobi reunited.

"Konoha values ​​the Hokage's body highly; I only managed to retrieve Minato's body."

Orochimaru said helplessly.

"That's enough. What are your plans next?" Yinyue asked.

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then asked in return:

"Where is Yin Yue Jun?"

"Let's head to Konoha to find Shennong, and while we're at it, see if we can capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Drinking the moon, he returned home.

Of course, upon returning to Konoha, he would naturally settle accounts with the village for the previous pursuit.

"I want to stay here and see Konoha, and wait for your triumphant return!" Orochimaru smiled and added, "I'll leave Rin Nohara and Kushina in your care, Lord Yinyue."

"..."

After sighing, Yin Yue glanced at Orochimaru but said nothing.

Suddenly, Kushina, with her serpentine head and fangs, shouted excitedly, "Orochimaru-senpai, everyone's here! Shall we go save Konoha now?"

These words were spoken.

The atmosphere was silent.

Kushina could clearly sense that Mikoto's expression was stiff and the rest of the Uchiha had gloomy faces.

Orochimaru smiled and said, "We're going to Konoha, but to destroy it!"

"Destroy Konoha?"

Kushina and Rin stood there, stunned, not understanding what Orochimaru meant by those words.

Orochimaru honestly said:

"After the Nine-Tails' attack, I defected from Konoha. As for Yin Yue-kun, unfortunately, he recently became an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha!"

"This... Senior, you're not joking, are you?"

Kushina's pupils widened little by little.

"Heh." Orochimaru just chuckled and didn't reply.

Kushina's lips twitched, and she hurriedly looked at Mikoto beside her, asking, "What's going on? Where's Fugaku?"

She and Rin had previously asked Orochimaru about the recent situation in the ninja world, but Orochimaru remained silent.

Kushina only realized at this moment that Mikoto's appearance on the battlefield was very abrupt.

Unless Konoha is destroyed immediately, a housewife like Mikoto will not take to the field.

Mikoto's face showed sorrow, her eyes darting away, as she gazed towards Konoha and replied:

"Fugaku is dead, the Uchiha clan was wiped out, all of this was... a plan by the Konoha higher-ups."

Upon hearing this, not only Kushina fell silent, but even Rin's expression became complicated.

The Uchiha clan was destroyed.

The two women naturally understood what it meant, and this was a plan by the Konoha leadership, which they found absurd and unbelievable.

"Lady Tsunade, is that really true?"

Kushina looked at Tsunade behind her.

"well--"

Tsunade shook her head and sighed, ignoring Kushina, whose worldview had been turned upside down.

Tsunade looked at Yin Yue and said, "Shizune and I will stay here with Orochimaru."

"Can."

As Yin Yue spoke, her pupils flashed crimson, and the eight thousand spears resembled a kaleidoscope.

He glanced at Rin and then at Kushina in the distance behind him.

In an instant.

"..."

Rin and Kushina's pupils displayed the Eight Thousand Spears mark, and they were incorporated into the Uchiha team.

Both of them were completely blank, having no idea what was happening.

Their bodies seemed to have betrayed them.

Before the two could speak...

Let's go!

Yin Yue glanced sideways at Xin Ya at her feet, and the latter immediately crawled towards the east of Konoha.

Now, Xin Ya doesn't need his control anymore. Ever since the battle in Wuyin, it has suddenly become docile.

As for bringing Rin and Kushina back to Konoha, they might come in handy on the way.

Rumbling--

The trees shook.

The one-eyed crimson king serpent pressed forward, while Yin Yue stood atop its head, gazing at the faintly visible outskirts of the ninja village, and sighed inwardly:

"Konoha, I'm back!"

……

As dawn broke.

time flies.

Under the fierce attacks of the Iwa and Kumo ninja, Konoha's protective barrier became increasingly weak.

It wasn't that Onoki and the Raikage didn't want to break the barrier at the lowest possible cost.

There's simply no talent in that area, and cracking it is far less direct than a direct attack.

Onoki and the Raikage also did not believe that Konoha could find a way to break the deadlock in such a short time, unless the Nine-Tails was released.

But then, all they need to do is retreat, and whether Konoha will still have the ability to seal the Nine-Tails at that time is unknown.

It was around 7 a.m.

The Leaf Village barrier collapsed much faster than Onoki and the Raikage had predicted.

The war broke out completely.

The Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja forcibly broke through the breached barrier area.

"Hold the line!!!"

The Konoha ninjas stood atop the wooden wall, watching the ninjas from the two villages surge towards them like a tide, their thoughts a jumble of emotions, preparing to meet the enemy.

Konoha Main Gate

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with Homura Mitokado on top, stood facing the distant Onoki and Raikage.

He shouted angrily, "Onoki, Ai, you're both courting death!!"
