Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 133 Another Path (Please Subscribe!)

Root tissue base.

In a dark room.

The monitor screen flickered with a ghostly blue light.

After listening to the ninja's retelling, Tobirama fell into deep thought, his face remaining as calm as ever.

He turned to look at his older brother standing behind him and said calmly, "This kid wants to take a different path than you've taken before."

"Unify the ninja world?"

A sigh escaped from the pillar.

That was indeed another path he had never explored before, and he wasn't sure if it applied to the ninja world. But as the ninja world transitioned from the Warring States period to the ninja village period, the major ninja villages continued to wage war. It seemed that the path he had taken was wrong.

So what about the other road?

Tobirama suddenly shifted his gaze to Koharu Utatane and said coldly, "Was it you who instigated Itachi Uchiha to massacre the Uchiha clan?"

"Yes...yes!" Koharu Utatane replied nervously, her old face showing helplessness, her head lowered.

After saying that, Koharu Utatane explained in a low voice, "But... that was Itachi's own choice, for the Will of Fire, for the ninja village."

"The Will of Fire?" Tobirama said coldly, "Your thoughts have nothing to do with the Will of Fire anymore."

After changing dorm rooms, Xiaochun stopped speaking.

Hashirama frowned deeply.

Even someone as good-tempered as him felt extremely disgusted with the disciples that Tobirama had personally taught.

When Tobirama told Hashirama that he had died covering the retreat, Tobirama also expressed his feelings:

"If we had known that Konoha would end up like this, we should have had them cover our retreat. That way, Konoha wouldn't have gone down the wrong path."

Hashirama thought it was fantastic!

Unfortunately, in the ninja world, people can be resurrected after death, but in their understanding, time cannot be reversed.

"Let's proceed according to the original plan!"

Tobirama ignored Koharu Utatane and left the dark room with Hashirama.

"well--"

Xiaochun, who had just turned over, stood there stunned, her old eyes cloudy and her eye bags heavy.

She watched the backs of the two men following Tobirama until they disappeared from sight.

Koharu looked at the monitoring equipment, her heart filled with emotion. Since Tobirama's Edo Tensei, she hadn't wasted a single moment. She had personally handled everything from modifying forbidden techniques and Edo Tensei to formulating strategic directions.

Compared to Tobirama, Hiruzen Sarutobi's competence and efficiency in handling affairs...

Xiaochun frowned as she turned to her new room.

She believes that we shouldn't just compare Hiruzen Sarutobi with Tobirama, as Tobirama completely overwhelms the current Konoha leadership.

It's no wonder that Konoha has been on a downward spiral since the Second Hokage.

These so-called Konoha high-ranking officials were completely unaware of this.

……

At the entrance of the Root organization base.

Tobirama and Hashirama stood in the shadows by the doorway, watching the dark red light spill across the street outside.

The world seemed to be cut apart by the red light.

"Tobirama, even if we do this, they won't be able to survive in the current ninja world once we leave."

Hashirama spoke in a low voice.

He turned to look at the heads of the various ninja clans in the Root organization's hall.

At this moment, these people were at a loss, and had no way to deal with the complete Susanoo outside.

Tobirama replied:

"Well, let's consider it repayment for the kindness they showed us back then."

Hashirama sighed, "Alas, I never thought I'd still have to worry about them even after I die. Konoha has fallen to this state; it's no different from being destroyed."

"They chose it themselves!"

Tobirama said coldly.

At this moment, in the shelter.

All the Konoha civilians stood there dumbfounded.

The image of Itachi Uchiha joining forces with the masked man to slaughter Uchiha civilians is still vivid in their minds, overturning the version of the story they previously knew.

Isn't Itachi supposed to be a hero?

As a result, the hero became the executioner who slaughtered his clan, while the defecting S-rank rogue ninja preserved the clan's lifeline.

What an ironic story!

Thus, the reason for the Uchiha clan's revenge against Konoha is now clear.

As for the Uchiha taking over Konoha, it was not unacceptable to them.

However, the Uchiha clan declared war on all ninjas in the ninja world in the name of Konoha, which was tantamount to pushing them to the edge of the fire to be roasted.

This was a feat that even the First Hokage had never considered doing.

This was practically a battle they were destined to lose. Thinking about this, many pessimistic civilians had already planned to find a way to defect after the war ended.

In Konoha, on building rooftops and streets, ninjas from other villages, upon hearing the Uchiha's declaration of war, felt equally insane.

But they didn't find it funny.

Because they are truly being controlled by someone else's eye technique at this moment. Besides, what is the difference between that dark red, fully-formed Susanoo and a god?

Beneath the gold-plated wall.

After listening to the Cloud Ninja, who was controlled by the Eight Thousand Spears, repeat Yin Yue's declaration of war, the Raikage's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists.

"We absolutely cannot just hand over Konoha to the Uchiha clan like this!" The Raikage, his temper flaring, roared, "Can the Uchiha Shingetsu maintain this state indefinitely?"

Luo Sha remained silent.

After the Land of Wind imposed sanctions on its military spending, Sunagakure is facing an existential crisis.

If they abandon Konoha this time, what is the point of Rasa leading his army on this expedition?

Whether it's Kumogakure, Sunagakure, or even Iwagakure, they all paid a huge price in terms of sunk capital.

However, Iwagakure had already withdrawn from Konoha, and Onoki left without hesitation, completely unconcerned.

The Raikage and Rasa couldn't swallow their anger. They exchanged a glance, unable to make a decision.

But then...

Outside the sand wall.

The dark red Susanoo unleashed its "Eight Thousand Spears Eye Technique" to its limit in this round. The dark red light on the rooftops and streets gradually faded until the sky returned to darkness.

Rumbling--

However, the complete Susanoo continued to stride towards the Root organization's base like a mountain, and was already close to reaching the front.

Beneath the gold-plated wall.

As Raikage and Rasa fell silent, two dark figures suddenly appeared in an instant.

"..."

The Raikage and Rasa stood on the same side, staring coldly ahead. Then, their faces showed shock.

The nearby Cloud Ninja and Sand Ninja were terrified and immediately shielded their two Shadows behind them.

"Don't be nervous, junior. We've come here to seek cooperation with you."

Tobirama's gaze was icy as he swept over the Raikage and Rasa, then he said:

"As you can see, we have already decided to abandon Konoha Village. At this moment, we no longer have any conflicts of interest."

"Cooperation?" The Raikage stared directly at Tobirama, but remained vigilant, fully alert and ready to engage in battle at any moment.

The Second Hokage's Impure World Reincarnation technique was already famous throughout the ninja world when the Raikage was young.

Of course, during the Second Hokage's reign, the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure was also quite good.

This made the Raikage's impression of Tobirama fairly good, unlike when he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, which made him feel disgusted.

"Well, since we're prepared to abandon Konoha, it doesn't matter who takes over here in the future," Tobirama said in a deep voice. "Even if you join forces now, you're probably no match for Uchiha Yinyue. But if we brothers join in, it's hard to say who will win on the front lines."

Why should we believe you?

Luo Sha questioned.

In his eyes, the Second Hokage of Konoha was simply a cunning old fox.

Tobirama glanced at the Raikage and Rasa.

He calmly replied, "Because the Uchiha declared war on the entire ninja world, rather than targeting us unilaterally."

Rumbling--

The ground trembled.

At this moment, fine sand was falling continuously from the top of the gold-plated wall constructed by Rasa, indicating that the complete Susanoo was already very close.

"How do we cooperate?"

Lei Ying looked up at the sky, gritting his teeth.

He was the first to put aside his reservations.

As Tobirama said, the Uchiha declared war on all ninjas in the ninja world.

If the Hidden Cloud Village wants to take over Konoha, it must first deal with the Uchiha clan. Apart from these two reanimated old men, Konoha is no longer a threat.

Tobirama said earnestly, "My elder brother and I will hold off Susanoo head-on, while you all attack from the sidelines, but please give it your all."

Upon hearing this, Raikage's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed, "No problem!"

Tobirama and the Raikage looked at Rasa together, and under pressure, Rasa nodded slightly.

……

Outside Konoha Village.

"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?" Tsunade asked sharply, her beautiful face as cold as ice.

"Of course, I'd join Shinkonoha!"

Orochimaru revealed his signature wicked smile.

talking.

He crouched on the head of the serpent and said, "Go. Head to Konoha now. Lord Yinyue won't blame you. In fact, he needs us now."

"..." Xin Ya gazed in the direction of Konoha Village, lost in thought, but then moved his massive body and crawled toward Konoha Village.

"You guys go ahead, I don't want to go."

Tsunade gritted her teeth, finished speaking, and walked towards the snake tail with Shizune.

She and Orochimaru also had the Eight Thousand Spears mark on their bodies, and they had heard Yin Yue's declaration of war.

After hearing this, Orochimaru was overjoyed. Rebuilding a new Konoha Village was something to look forward to.

He defected from Konoha because his ideals differed from Hiruzen Sarutobi's.

It's not that Orochimaru didn't love his homeland of Konoha; of course, saying he loved it wouldn't be accurate either.

But if Orochimaru had to choose, he would still prefer to dedicate himself to scientific research and make a difference in Konoha rather than the Land of Rice Fields.

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade behind him, shook his head, and sighed, "You really have no sense of self-awareness. Whatever, you have Yinyue-kun's eye technique mark on you anyway, you can't escape much."

After saying that, he urged Xin Ya to carry him and Uzuki Yugao all the way to Konoha.

……

Root tissue base.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Raikage, and Rasa Senju stood atop the gold sand wall, facing the fully formed Susanoo that was approaching them.

The sky was overcast.

Dark clouds covered the area.

The sand-gold wall, which was more than ten meters high and constructed by Rasa, could only reach the height of Susanoo's boots in front of the complete Susanoo.

With Tobirama establishing a brief cooperative relationship with Kumogakure and Sunagakure, ninjas from the various Konoha clans began to retreat out of the village.

"What's going on?"

The Raikage watched the Konoha ninja fleeing the village in panic, then looked at Tobirama beside him.

"Don't worry, Konoha will do its best to cooperate with everyone!" Tobirama said calmly.

After speaking...

At the Root organization's base, the Sarutobi clan ninjas, who had been annihilated to ashes by the forbidden technique "Rage of Heaven," were resurrected and were the first to arrive at the front lines.

Tobirama promised to have the Sarutobi clan cover their retreat, and he would never break his word; this was his way of fulfilling his promise to the major ninja clans of Konoha.

Raikage and Rasa fell into deep thought.

They're paying the price with lives, while Konoha is only sending Edo Tensei ninja.

In an instant, Raikage and Rasa understood what Konoha was planning.

But now that the complete Susanoo has arrived, time is of the essence, and they cannot afford to have a dispute at this time.

"Everyone, let's make our move!"

After Tobirama finished speaking calmly, he looked at Hashirama beside him, and the two brothers exchanged glances and nodded.

Rumbling--

Dark red flames illuminated everyone's faces, a gale swept in, and billowing smoke and dust filled the air.

The complete Susanoo drew ever closer, each step bringing immense pressure to the Cloud and Sand Ninja on the opposite side.

High in the sky.

Inside the cockpit of the fully-formed Susanoo, Yin Yue scanned the area below.

He wasn't surprised to see Tobirama and Hashirama standing together with the Raikage and Kazekage.

In the ninja world, there is only self-interest, and no fixed stance.

Outside the Root organization's base, as more than two thousand Edo Tensei ninja from the Sarutobi clan launched their attack, the Cloud and Sand ninjas also surged forward.

Angry shouts echoed through the sky.

Even when facing a colossal object.

But with their shadows standing in front of them, these ninjas seemed to feel no fear.

Those ninjas not controlled by the Eight Thousand Spears appeared as quickly as ants.

"Captain, for our new home, please let us fight!"

The Uchiha drew their weapons once more.

Izumi, Nanfeng, and Tamao, who were at the forefront, were also filled with fighting spirit.

Yinyue raised her hand and waved, signaling them to go to the back row. During this time, Nono and Mikoto also joined the battle team.

The remaining children stayed with Sasuke by Yinyue's side, which was the safest place for them.

Yin Yue is fighting for a new home for them; if they don't contribute now, they will surely feel uneasy in the future.

After they arrived at the back of the Susanoo helmet's "cockpit".

The jeweled ground split in two, and the Uchiha team plummeted downwards as if riding an elevator.

The dark red light receded upwards before the eyes of the Uchiha clan members like a beam of light.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

The complete Susanoo quickened its pace, crushing Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two with its right hand and casually discarding them to the ground. With its hands crossed, it pulled out a giant chakra blade embedded in the wing frame, burning with dark red flames.

Just as the gem was about to hit the ground, the Uchiha jumped outwards.

After drawing its giant blade, the complete Susanoo shifted its feet, spun around, and fiercely slashed at the sand-gold wall.

The sharp, dark red blade seemed to shatter space, drawing two perfect arcs in the sky.

Facing the descending giant blade, Tobirama roared, "Get away from or kill those comrades controlled by your eye techniques!"

On the sand-gold wall, Lei Ying and Feng Ying's pupils shrank sharply, and they immediately darted to the left and right.

The Raikage transformed into a blue arc of lightning and said in a deep voice, "Second Hokage, you really are ruthless!"

Tobirama replied indifferently, "It is precisely because I am the Hokage that I must maintain a ruthless attitude!"

On the gold-plated wall.

Only two people remain.

But when the complete Susanoo leaped over a towering building, Tobirama pressed his right hand on Hashirama's shoulder, and the two disappeared from their original spot, appearing on the building behind Susanoo.

Flying Thunder God Technique!!

On one of the bricks of the towering building, there is a "Flying Thunder God mark".

This was a common combination used by the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers on the battlefield.

next moment.

Hashirama stared directly at Susanoo's back, clapped his hands together, and roared, "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"

He channeled his own chakra into the earth as a life source, designating a specific area to transform into a forest.

Rumbling--

The fully-formed Susanoo cleaved through the sand gold wall with a single sword strike, splitting the surface of the Root organization's base in two and exposing the underground structure beneath.

Smoke billows.

In the blink of an eye.

Beneath the fully formed Susanoo, the ground suddenly shattered into countless cracks, and thick vines appeared, twisting and writhing like giant snakes.

They clung tightly to Susanoo's boots, climbing upwards in an attempt to completely confine this colossal creature within this sea of ​​trees.

Hashirama's expression was solemn, and his tightly clasped hands trembled along with the ground.

After Tobirama modified the Edo Tensei, Hashirama had regained half of his strength.

This is also the source of their confidence in cooperating with the Raikage and Sunagakure, and daring to delay Susanoo head-on.

At this moment, facing the fully formed Susanoo, the army of Sarutobi's Edo Tensei, Cloud Ninja, and Sand Ninja rushed in, unleashing wide-range ninjutsu at close range.

The right arm of Susanoo transformed into a streak of azure lightning, appearing out of thin air.

He moved swiftly upwards along the armor, reaching the helmet in just a few seconds.

On the left, Fengying Luosha stood atop a building a kilometer away, his hands forming a mudra.

Layer upon layer, waves of golden sand, some over twenty meters high, crashed against the fully formed Susanoo.

Inside the Susanoo's "cockpit," Yin Yue revealed a cold smile, completely unconcerned.
