Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 121 Defeat (Please Subscribe)

"Gentlemen, defend the ninja village to the death! Let the Will of Fire burn brightly, illuminating the path for those who follow!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face flushed, was filled with righteous indignation and raised his arms in a high-spirited shout.

Swah——

Before the words were finished...

The sound of wind breaking.

A dark figure lunged at Hiruzen Sarutobi with incredible speed, as swift as lightning.

It was dressed in black, had a strange face, bloodshot eyes, rough skin like wood, creaking joints, and human limbs and head.

It resembles a skinny little monkey.

"Puppet technique, Rasa, you despicable scoundrel!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils shrank, his expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily.

In an instant, the puppet, like a facehugger, spread its limbs and tried to hug Hiruzen Sarutobi's aged face.

Then, sharp daggers sprang from the puppet's limbs and stabbed at Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Hiruzen Sarutobi dodged backward, and as he fell through the air, he formed hand seals and breathed fire from his mouth:

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

The fire-attribute chakra instantly made the air hot, and then the fire lines shot out, changing shape, and the tip condensed into a flying dragon fireball.

The dragon's head, its face contorted in fury, immediately rammed into the puppet, scorching it with intense heat.

To Hiruzen Sarutobi's surprise, after the puppet was burned, it threw out several sharp kunai.

"Damn it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was solemn, and he quickly dodged after landing.

Swah——

He was already in a sorry state, and as he twisted and turned, the last tuft of hair on his head was cut off by one of the kunai.

At this moment.

The ninjas on the wooden walls of Konoha engaged in battle with the Iwa, Kumo, and Suna ninjas who swarmed in like a tide!

The sounds of killing, clashing ninja tools, exploding explosive tags, and clashing ninjutsu echoed across the sky.

Behind the Sand Village team.

Rasa stood on the tree, glancing sideways at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been ambushed and fled by the puppeteer, and sneered inwardly:

"If I really don't take action, when the Land of Fire is divided up, I'll really only get the leftovers."

"Furthermore, since Kumogakure and Iwagakure have already made their move, Sunagakure has no need to feign benevolence."

"May Konoha be destroyed!"

Luo Sha's eyes reflected the raging flames of war as he raised his hand and issued battle orders:

"Puppet Team, enter Konoha, head east, straight to the Hokage Building!"

"yes--"

A group of puppeteers, who had been hiding in the shadows and manipulated chakra threads with both hands, began to move.

Each of them had a puppet, so when they killed Konoha ninjas, they didn't need to lift a finger themselves.

One person can control one or two puppets at the same time, and the combined combat power of one plus one is far greater than two.

As for Rasa sending them to the Hokage Building, it was naturally to seize the resource areas, plunder wealth, and steal forbidden technique scrolls.

At this moment, the protective barrier of Konoha Village still exists, only the gate is damaged.

The honeycomb-shaped barrier had become extremely blurred, but it could be restored as long as chakra was injected.

Even if Konoha's gates fall.

The Konoha Barrier Team is still doing its best to repair it.

Onoki and the Raikage did not rush to attack. The two were far apart, practically on the same level, except that Onoki was suspended in the air.

Neither of them gave orders for their subordinates to plunder resources now; instead, they deliberately sent the impatient Rasa to scout ahead with Sand Ninja.

Cloud and Rock ninjas poured into the main gate of Konoha, while many Sand ninjas delayed the repair of the barrier on both sides of the entrance.

The three major ninja villages cooperated seamlessly.

It seemed that they had already secretly envisioned dividing up the Land of Fire and Konoha countless times.

"Damn it, push forward, don't let them break through the defenses!" a Konoha ninja roared.

An Iwa ninja and a Kumo ninja leaped up and used their signature ninjutsu to kill him.

Such scenes played out repeatedly at the entrance of Konoha Village, where lives were harvested like weeds.

Konoha ninjas often fight two or three opponents at once, and are basically sentenced to death in a single encounter.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado also joined the main battle, but with little effect.

The two could only pray that Koharu Utatane could quickly complete the Impure World Reincarnation, otherwise, Konoha would surely perish today!

After half an hour.

The first line of defense at the entrance to Konoha Village has collapsed.

With over 6,000 Konoha ninjas lost, more than 20% of them were killed, and Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately ordered a retreat.

The Konoha ninja forces immediately retreated to the second line of defense, which was bordered by the Uchiha clan's territory, and engaged in street battles with the invading ninjas.

As the Konoha ninja were routed, they fled back.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to flee back to a rooftop on the street, shouting, "Earth Release, Water Release, Fire Release, prepare!!!"

The words were spoken.

More than 4,000 Konoha ninjas who were originally stationed on the second line of defense emerged in an orderly fashion.

The ninjas formed hand seals and unleashed various escape techniques to intercept the ninjas from the three major ninja villages.

In an instant, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, waves and seas of fire surged, forming a terrifying defensive line.

The ninjas from the three major ninja villages had no choice but to temporarily avoid their attacks.

Until this moment.

A gap suddenly appeared in Konoha's second line of defense, and Onoki, the Raikage, and Rasa made their move.

The three easily broke through the escaping techniques, tearing an opening in Konoha's second line of defense, and indiscriminately killing the Konoha ninjas who were trying to hold them back.

"Lord Hokage... the second line of defense probably won't last twenty minutes!"

"Damn it, where's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely anxious, constantly glancing at the Root organization's base defenses.

If the second line of defense collapses, street fighting will not be able to delay the three major ninja villages.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only lead his men to defend the Root organization's base to the death; as for the Hokage Building and the shelter...

Konoha is no longer able to protect its people.

War is just as cruel.

In order to achieve final victory, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to place his final bet on the Impure World Reincarnation, abandoning his ordinary people.

"Sir, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been taken to the Root organization's base by the Anbu!" a Konoha ninja responsible for relaying orders replied.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Alright, move the defensive line back towards the Root organization's base to buy some more time!"

"Yes...yes—"

The Konoha ninja retreated.

Once the defenses are completely breached.

Konoha can only release the Nine-Tails.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure to buy time.

……

To the east of Konoha Village, the barrier remains intact as this area was not attacked.

This face is located on the side of the shadow rock.

It is relatively close to the Hokage Building.

At this moment, some puppeteers from Sunagakure had already circled around the edge of the ninja village to the east, preparing to be the first to invade the Hokage Building and plunder resources.

Houses stand in rows.

The streets are clearly defined.

Utility poles, various external pipes, air conditioner outdoor units, video surveillance, and water storage devices.

And so on... Technological products all demonstrate the wealth of Konoha Village.

"If we take Konoha, perhaps we can live in a place like this, untouched by sandstorms!"

"Yes, our descendants won't have to live a hard life. They'll have an endless supply of drinking water every day, and they can take baths and do laundry every day!"

The Sand Village puppeteers stood at the edge of the eastern street, looking around and sighing.

The team was led by Sunagakure Jonin "Maki". He had a fierce and menacing look, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, his left cheek covered by a white cloth, and a red mark on his right cheek. He was wearing Sunagakure khaki armor.

Just as the team was moving forward.

Maki suddenly sensed something was wrong; it was coming from behind him. Maki turned around abruptly, his eyes widening.

The other puppeteers all turned around.

The earlier roar at the entrance of Konoha Village had confused their senses.

At that moment, the earth trembled violently, and a one-eyed king serpent with a completely red body swept across all the trees and crushed them as if it were the overlord of the land.

On top of this massive, land-dominating creature, the Uchiha clan members jumped from the sky and landed steadily.

A young man dressed in white, with short black hair, a handsome face, and an upright posture, walked slowly in, leading the group.

His appearance overshadowed the other Uchiha, and a black sword appeared as the space around his right hand trembled slightly.

The black knife was like a fragment snatched from the darkness, its blackness pure and unadulterated.

"Uchiha!!!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer's attire, a Sand Village puppeteer's expression immediately turned serious, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"What do they want to do?"

"The barrier here hasn't been destroyed. Could it be that they're trying to break through this barrier, which would require tens of thousands of ninjas taking turns bombarding it, all by themselves?"

The Sand Village puppeteers looked at each other, momentarily forgetting the mission they were entrusted with.

Outside the barrier.

Yin Yue remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the glowing barrier.

He thrust Dark Moon into it, and the barrier rippled with light, capable of defending against all kinds of ninjutsu. As a ninja tool, it was easily cut open by Dark Moon.

Yin Yue extracted chakra from his body, transforming Dark Moon into Wind Release mode.

hum-

The dark moon trembled at a high frequency, emitting fine needles of wind-style chakra.

Wherever it was injected, the barrier of Konoha Village instantly dissolved, as if it had been purified of a stain.

This scene was witnessed by Kushina and Rin from the Uchiha team, as well as by Maki from the Sunagakure puppeteer team inside the barrier.

Everyone was shocked and unable to express their shock in words.

"Uchiha Yinyue, single-handedly broke through Konoha's protective barrier..."

Maki's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.

He naturally recognized Yin Yue, the now infamous Konoha S-rank rogue ninja.

Then, the Sand Village puppeteers saw that all the Uchiha except for Yin Yue were putting on Konoha rogue ninja headbands.

One of the baby-faced youths had two scratches on his rogue ninja headband!

This left Maki and the other Sand Village ninja completely baffled. Other rogue ninjas only had one headband, but this guy had two. What did that mean?

However, Maki immediately realized what was happening and whispered, "Run! Run! Get out of here and carry out our mission!"

"hiss--"

The remaining Sand Village puppeteers entered the eastern district of Konoha and headed towards the Hokage Building.

"Captain Maki...the Uchiha shouldn't attack us, right?"

"A puppeteer asked."

"Yes, after all, they are already Konoha's rogue ninja. They've definitely come back to seek revenge on Konoha!"

Another puppeteer said.

Maki's expression turned grave, and he shook his head: "When an elephant walks, it doesn't care whether it has stepped on any ants or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air at the end of the street suddenly became hot, and flames shot out.

Numerous Konoha ANBU appeared ahead.

Clearly, this area is also guarded by Konoha ninja forces.

"fighting!"

Maki's face was illuminated by the flames, and he immediately shouted out the battle orders.

The Sand Village Puppet Master immediately manipulated the puppets released from the scroll into a row.

The sea of ​​fire came, but it couldn't penetrate the puppet wall; it only burned the bandages on the surface of the puppets.

next moment.

On the rooftop, a slender female ninja wearing a red patterned mask and with flowing purple hair fell from the sky, wielding a ninja sword and slashing at Maki, who was leading the team.

"Cough cough cough... Yugao!"

Along with Hayate Gekko and a group of Konoha ninjas, they leaped over the puppet's defensive wall.

Moonlight Gale's eyes were lifeless, with prominent dark circles, and his skin appeared sickly pale.

During the operation.

He keeps coughing.

Their mission as a ninja unit stationed on the east side was to intercept any enemy ninjas invading from this side.

The two sides entered into a fierce battle, but since this was Konoha's home ground and the number of puppeteers was small, they quickly found themselves in a difficult situation.

The eastern block.

Yinyue led the Uchiha team into the familiar street, then stopped and looked around.

In the group, Kushina and Rin changed into black cloaks and put on masks.

This is a disguise that Yin Yue manipulates them to create; there is no need for the Konoha ninjas to know their identities for the time being.

Yinyue looked at Nonou:

"Find someone whose chakra is extremely dark, even more sinister than Yin Release chakra."

"yes--"

Nono nodded, her expression serious, and activated her Byakugan to survey her surroundings.

Scan the area.

Nono said in a deep voice:

"Captain, that 10-member Sand Village puppeteer team just fought against more than 40 Konoha ninja. In addition, there are about 100 Konoha ninja stationed in the block about one kilometer away from us."

"Can you see the condition of the shelter?"

Drinking the moon asked.

No matter how well Shennong disguises himself, if unrest occurs within Konoha Village, he will inevitably be housed in a shelter.

"Sorry, it's too far."

No Naiyu replied.

As she spoke, she continued to stare ahead. In her vision, the Sand Village puppeteers were gradually losing out to the Leaf Village ninjas, suffering heavy casualties, while the Leaf Village ninjas also paid a heavy price in lives.

"understood."

Yin Yue nodded, looked up and gazed in the direction of the Root organization base, a strange emotion flickering in his heart.

He gripped the Dark Moon and casually slashed at a hidden corner under the eaves of a building on the street.

A black storm swept by.

bang——

Black smoke billowed out, and the Uchiha looked up to find that their captain had easily taken down a surveillance camera.

……

at the same time.

Konoha's defenses collapsed completely, and the remaining Konoha ninjas retreated to the outskirts of the Root organization's base.

The total number of ninjas from the three major ninja villages is nearly 30,000.

The periphery of the root organization base.

The top of the tallest building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gasped for breath as he surveyed the Raikage, Tsuchikage, Kazekage, and the dark mass of ninja from the three major ninja villages besieging the city.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank to the bottom.

In fact, the fact that Konoha had no capable people and that its borders had collapsed already foreshadowed Konoha's fate.

The first three Shinobi World Wars saw Konoha's defenses remain impenetrable, entirely due to the presence of Konoha's elite forces, including the Legendary Sannin, Fugaku, and Hiashi.

now……

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked somber, gazed up at the sky, lost in thought, and sighed:

"Was I really wrong?"

Suddenly, an ANBU member appeared in an instant and said in a deep voice, "Lord Hokage, the barrier team has sent word that the eastern barrier has been destroyed, and the intruders are Uchiha Yinyue and his group."

"Drink...moon..." Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists, his face contorted with rage, gritting his teeth in hatred.

He never expected the Uchiha to kick him when he was down at this time.

That makes sense, though. This is the perfect time for the Uchiha to return and trample on Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at the Root organization's base, and despair settled over him.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, give up the fight! Konoha was once incredibly powerful, but under your leadership, its talent pool has dwindled, and there's no one left to use. You've become a colossal joke!"

Onoki frowned and said coldly.

"Old man, you can release the Nine-Tails and let me see the difference between the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails!" the Raikage said in a gruff voice.

Rasa stared coldly at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He sighed inwardly.

As expected, following Onoki's advice and attacking Konoha at this time was the best option.
