Konoha: The Innately Evil Uchiha

Chapter 59 The Three Ninjas Reunite

"My lord, isn't it an overreaction for the Hokage to mobilize almost all of his forces, except for those guarding the border, for such a small Uchiha defector squad?"

The speaker was a young ninja from the Hyuga branch family, who stood respectfully beside Hiashi.

Rizu took off his gray raincoat and handed it to the more successful member of the clan who had branched out from the main branch, asking in return:

How did Danzo Shimura die?

The young ninja bowed his head, took the raincoat with both hands, and replied, "That was a feint attack. The ninja village never used such a tactic when dealing with Orochimaru."

The weathered look in Hiashi's eyes was quite profound.

He gazed at this member of the branch family, sighed, and shook his head. Ultimately, he felt the man was too young, so he patiently explained:

"Danzo is not a fool and will not be slaughtered. It would be extremely difficult to kill him by disguising a surprise attack. As for Orochimaru, his nature is different from that of Yinyue."

You might not know this.

Uchiha Yinyue killed Asuma while on the run.

Upon hearing this...

The members of the Hyuga clan shuddered.

They immediately understood why the Hokage had used every available external force, relinquished enormous benefits, and entrusted their clan leader to personally oversee the battle.

"It's not your fault. You're all still young. You haven't experienced the war years, nor have you witnessed the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

After expressing his feelings, the Japanese athlete said seriously:

"Let's send our ninjas, who are infiltrated into various factions, to test the strength of this Uchiha defector squad!"

"yes--"

A ninja from the Hyuga branch family nodded respectfully, then instantly transformed into a black shadow and disappeared.

Hiashi gazed down at the large number of ninjas approaching the Uchiha defector squad and fell into deep thought.

It must be said that the Third Hokage was still wise; he was not blinded by the hatred of killing his son.

The forces mobilized by the village leadership this time mainly consisted of all the elite members of the Shimura clan who remained in the village.

The force consisted of elite troops from the Sarutobi clan, elite troops from various other clans, and support from Sunagakure, an ally of Konoha.

As for smaller ninja villages like Kusagakure, as well as rogue ninjas and bandits, they were all cannon fodder brought in by Konoha through the propaganda of "competing for the Sharingan bloodline limit".

The total number is nearly 10,000.

No one expected that the Sharingan could be so alluring to ninjas in the ninja world.

"well……"

Hiashi Hyuga knew that the arduous journey to the northwest, led by the Moonlit Sword, was definitely a trap, and the other party was most likely doing it on purpose.

Ordered by the Hokage, he, as the commander-in-chief, had to come and oversee the battle.

However, the main force that could contain Yin Yue was not the Hyuga clan, nor the elite troops and cannon fodder from Konoha and Sunagakure.

What he needs to do now is to test Yin Yue's strength and try to hold back the Uchiha defector group.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the Hyuga clan will reap enormous benefits.

The conditions set by the Third Hokage were something that Hiashi Hyuga and the Hyuga clan could not refuse.

If the situation turns bad...

Hiashi would naturally leave this place in advance under the cover of the branch family members. As the head of the Hyuga clan, he had no need to put himself in danger.

call--

A biting, cold wind swept outwards from the very center of the Valley of Judgment, howling incessantly.

The rain was blown sideways by the strong wind, the trees swayed, and the leaves fell.

On the other side of the cliff.

Two beautiful figures stood under a black umbrella.

Clad in a long green robe, Tsunade looked down so low she couldn't see her feet. She could only gaze into the wider distance, observing the grand spectacle and marveling at it:

"Interesting. It's been so long since I've been back to the ninja village. I didn't expect that with Danzo dead, the old man has actually become bolder than before, abandoning his usual composure!"

Her skin was as white as snow, her features were beautiful, and there was no trace of the ravages of time. She wore light makeup, had her signature blonde hair in pigtails, and a purple diamond-shaped seal adorned her brow.

As she spoke, Tsunade twisted her slender waist, stretched out her fair hands, and took the little pig Tonton from Shizune's arms, who was holding an umbrella beside her.

"Lady Tsunade, what is your opinion on the Uchiha defector group killing Asuma?"

"Silently asked."

When she asked this question, she didn't dare to look Tsunade in the eye; her dark eyes were fixed on the battlefield in front of the canyon.

Shizune was wearing a long dress that was predominantly gray with white trim.

She wore a set of ninja-style chainmail, and her skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing her snow-white calves.

Her looks and figure were quite good, but her ordinary attire and weak aura made her stand out rather little next to Tsunade.

Tsunade raised a brow, scrutinizing Shizune with interest. After a moment's thought, she replied:

"As the leader of the ninja village, the Hokage did nothing, or even ignored everything that happened, which led to the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. The remaining Uchiha killed the Hokage's son who blocked their way while they were fleeing."

This is how you see it.

Then you'll feel like there's no problem.

If the old man could stop the Uchiha clan from being wiped out, Asuma wouldn't be in such a hurry.

He wouldn't have to die then.

After all, I knew Asuma, so I can only feel sorry for him!

Mute.

"You and Asuma are classmates, right?"

"Ah, he's a classmate, but I'm not familiar with him." Shizune's thoughts drifted back, and after waking up from her reverie, she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

Tsunade saw through Shizune's little scheme at a glance, then glanced at the woods behind them with her phoenix eyes and said indifferently:

"Since you're already here, why are you cowering behind and spying? That's so typical of you!"

Shizune looked surprised and turned around to look in the direction her master was looking.

"Haha, I just arrived!"

A rough, deep voice came through.

Jiraiya jumped from the tree to the ground.

He wore a headband with the character "oil" on his forehead, a red vest, and was soaked to the bone by the heavy rain, with a dark green lining clinging to his body.

After landing, Jiraiya wanted to crawl under the black umbrella that Shizune was holding, but as soon as he got to the umbrella, Shizune took out a new umbrella and handed it to him.

"..." Jiraiya.

"Why are you here?"

Tsunade glanced sideways at Jiraiya as he took the umbrella.

"Thanks!"

Jiraiya didn't stand on ceremony. He opened the umbrella Shizune had brought him, thanked her, and then looked at Tsunade, asking curiously:

"I heard that something big happened in Konoha recently, so I thought I'd go back. I happened to be passing by here, and I smelled blood, so I came here."

correct.

"You two shouldn't care about this kind of thing, why did you come here to watch the show?"

"Hmph." Tsunade gave a haughty snort, glancing at Shizune beside her with her phoenix eyes, and said indifferently, "She brought me here."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Shizune had a crush on that girl, Yinyue."

Jiraiya recalled the past, and his eyes lit up as he turned his gaze to Shizune.

"Huh?" Shizune blushed, feeling dizzy from having the old story brought up again. She stammered, "Lord Jiraiya, how did you know about this?"

Jiraiya glanced furtively at Tsunade, then looked awkwardly at Shizune, scratching his head in lingering fear, and said, "It's a secret!"

Silent was so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

"Jiraiya, don't tell me you want to get involved in this too. I advise you not to worry about it. You should be able to guess what the Konoha higher-ups are doing to the Uchiha."

Tsunade glanced sideways at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya sighed softly:

"We'll see!"

After all, there were a large number of Konoha ninjas down there. As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, he couldn't ignore their sacrifice like Tsunade, who had some estrangement from the village.

Just as the two fell silent.

The ground trembled slightly.

Tsunade and Jiraiya suddenly looked up, scanning the distant cliffs. Their eyes narrowed, and they looked wary.

In the primeval forest, a large purple serpent twisted and turned, its body as massive as a mountain range, with a graceful figure standing atop its head.

Orochimaru!!

Tsunade and Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

P.S.: I'd like to gather everyone's opinions on Jiraiya. In Naruto fanfiction, Jiraiya doesn't seem to be very popular with readers.

I'm afraid of writing something offensive, so I'd like to ask the experts for advice.

By the way, I'd like to ask for some recommendation votes!

Thank you so much, dear readers!
