I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

As the sun gradually set, the laborers, who had been busy all day, entered the makeshift camp outside the village; they were not allowed to rest inside Yugakure Village.

That's something only the Cloud Ninja elders can enjoy.

Seeing that many of the Cloud Ninja had already started soaking in the hot springs, Hyuga, who was in charge of monitoring, signaled to everyone that they could begin their operation.

According to the mission assignment, the Hyuga will not directly participate in the attack this time. As a reserve force, they will mainly use their Byakugan to monitor the Cloud Ninja's every move.

The Sarutobi clan ninjas rose to their feet, tidied their equipment, and led their troops southwards to launch an attack from the outside, aiming to block the Cloud Ninjas' escape route.

The Uchiha's mission was to eliminate the Cloud Ninja in the village as quickly as possible and reunite with the Sarutobi clan on the outskirts.

After the Sarutobi clan left, the Uchiha Jonin led their various squads along the foothills and entered Yugakure.

This foothills are home to several important springs in Yugakure Village, which are abundant in water. To fully utilize the spring water, Yugakure Village was essentially built along this foothills, and there are no city walls here.

As a region without walls in Yugakure, the Cloud Ninja, no matter how invincible they thought they were, would still leave behind a defensive force.

However, it ultimately became somewhat of a formality.

Although Konoha's external intelligence work was poor this time, it did a good job protecting its own intelligence. Even the villagers of Konoha were unaware that an advance force had already set off.

The Cloud Ninja knew even less.

Uchiha Shingen landed lightly on the stone-paved street. Because he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, he did not team up with anyone, but he left the Flying Thunder God Seal on every member of his clan, including Pakura.

His task was to give free rein.

Before me stretched winding streets and numerous alleyways.

The combined use of the Sharingan and chakra perception prevents these from becoming obstacles.

Drawing his newly purchased katana, Uchiha Shingen silently advanced along his senses.

The street layout of Tangyin Village makes it hard to believe that it is a military base.

Once you enter, you'll find that most of the buildings here are hotels, the streets themselves are not wide, and many alleys are so narrow that only one person can pass through at a time.

Uchiha Shingen suddenly accelerated.

The tip of the short sword thrust out, piercing through the heart of a Cloud Ninja who had just emerged from the alley.

At the same time, with a flick of his left hand, a kunai shot to the other side.

That was another Cloud Ninja who came out of the house. Before he could say anything, his head was sent flying into the sky by a Flying Thunder God Slash.

In the darkness, screams and angry curses could be heard.

Inevitably, the other party was also a ninja from a major ninja village. No matter how careless they were, once the attack began, it would definitely be discovered.

Amidst the sound of hurried footsteps, a group of Cloud Ninja appeared on the street and spotted Uchiha Shingen immediately.

And his outfit was as conspicuous as could be.

"They're Konoha ninjas!"

Three Cloud Ninja, their faces contorted with rage, drew their weapons and charged forward.

But Uchiha Shingen was a tiny bit faster than them.

The kodachi was sheathed on his back, and Uchiha Shingen flicked his wrist, sending several shuriken flying out of the smoke with a "bang".

Two projectiles were blocked, while several others grazed past the side of the foremost Cloud Ninja, and Uchiha Shingen's figure vanished from his spot.

A blazing fireball rose from among the Cloud Ninja and lightly touched their bodies.

In an instant, several Cloud Ninjas shrank rapidly amidst screams, their once strong bodies becoming withered and emaciated, resembling dead trees when they collapsed to the ground.

Uchiha Shingen withdrew his ninjutsu, and through his chakra perception, he realized that there were no more Cloud Ninjas in this neighborhood.

Following the direction with the strongest chakra reaction, he headed to the next block.

Chapter Twelve: Even the Uchiha clan is starting to act lewdly?

As night fell, the streets and alleys of Tangyin Village were stained with the blood of outsiders.

Soon, the brilliance from Fire Release and Lightning Release ninjutsu erupted in the darkness.

The Konoha ninja's attack was decisive and efficient, but the Cloud ninja, who were attacked, also reacted quickly.

As dominant forces in the ninja world, both sides have their own preferred fighting styles.

The Konoha ninja, with their comprehensive range of ninjutsu and the Sharingan and Byakugan, favored using small, multi-layered squads in deep formations, and this raid was no exception.

In response, the Cloud Ninja, skilled in rapid maneuver and surprise attacks, took advantage of the complex street environment of Yugakure to carry out ambushes and outflanks, preventing the Konoha Ninja from fully utilizing their numerical advantage.

After Konoha took away about a hundred lives in the initial wave, the remaining few hundred Cloud Ninja roamed the streets and alleys of Yugakure with agility, greatly increasing the difficulty for Konoha ninja to annihilate them.

Because Yugakure, like Konoha, is primarily constructed of wood, the Konoha ninjas cannot freely use their most proficient fire-style techniques.

The only exception was Yekura. Her fighting style was based on taijutsu and steam-killing, so she was in her element in this environment. Several fireballs generated by her scorching release surrounded her, and she rushed towards wherever there were many people.

Overall, the defeat of the Cloud Ninja was inevitable. While they slowed down their own demise, they also cut off their own escape route.

Outside the village, the Sarutobi clan's forces used their Great Fire Formation to overwhelm the Cloud Ninja army, which lacked long-range ninjutsu, making victory inevitable.

Inside the village, Uchiha Shingen once again swung his sword, annihilating a team of Cloud Ninja while successfully spreading the Flying Thunder God Seal throughout the key points of Yugakure.

During this period, he used the Flying Thunder God technique many times, greatly reducing the casualty rate of his tribe.

The Cloud Ninja are indeed fierce and brave.

Many people will not hesitate to use self-sacrifice when things are hopeless.

Despite having an overwhelming numerical advantage, Konoha ninjas have already lost nearly a hundred men in the face of such an opponent.

Both sides are the vanguard of the army, both are elite, and both are at least Chunin level. Moreover, most of the Jonin of Kumogakure are concentrated in the village, and they have a numerical advantage. However, Konoha is not at a disadvantage in this regard.

Six Uchiha with three tomoe, which counts as twelve Jonin, isn't excessive.

Uchiha Shingen's three-tomoe jade pendant, in particular, has a relatively good spillover effect.

Ahead, a group of Cloud Village Chunin formed a wedge formation, withstood a round of ninjutsu attacks from the opposing Konoha ninja, and charged towards a Konoha Chunin squad.

The Cloud Ninja charging at the front were extremely tall and burly, but they were covered in wounds. One of them had lost an arm and was doomed. They were another team that had been forced into a desperate situation and had resorted to a self-sacrificing attack.

Facing them head-on, the Konoha Chunin squad, already accustomed to this rhythm, prepared to receive the impact.

While the Cloud Ninja are fierce and brave, the Leaf Ninja are no pushovers either.

However, the direction in which this group of Cloud Ninja was advancing happened to be a Flying Thunder God Seal.

The large Yun Ren, who was missing an arm and had extensive burns on his face, was beginning to lose his senses. He vaguely saw a pattern that looked like a flame appearing on the ground.

The next moment, Uchiha Shingen appeared there. Having completed the hand seals, he leaped into the air and spat out a stream of fire.

Scorching Release: Ryuo!

Flames shaped like cherry blossoms scattered from the sky, deftly avoiding the buildings and covering the bodies of the Cloud Ninja.

The brave warriors, with the will to die, had their body water evaporate instantly, preserving the last moment of their lives as burning stick figures.

Uchiha Shingen had no time to check the results of the battle, nor did he need to; he vanished before even landing.

The Flying Thunder God Technique has finally begun to unleash its true brilliance on the battlefield.

Unlike Minato Namikaze, Shingen Uchiha did not use specially made kunai as coordinates to carry out a one-second mass kill; that did not fit his fighting style.

After accurately locating each Cloud Ninja with his chakra perception, he began to slaughter the Cloud Village's lower-level fighting force in his own way.

The kunai and explosive tags shot at him would be moved to other places that were not easy to ignite, places he had deliberately marked as "junkyards".

Those who tried to fight him in hand-to-hand combat were either swallowed up by the scorching flames wrapped around his blade, or frozen stiff, or more often, sent flying by his monstrous strength.

Upon discovering this ghostly creature, the Cloud Village Jonin attempted to stop it, but were immediately entangled by the Leaf Village Jonin. Even if they managed to break free, these Cloud Village Jonin, who prided themselves on their speed, found themselves unable to keep up with Uchiha Shingen's movements and could only watch helplessly as their subordinates within their field of vision were wiped out in a few breaths.

This reminded them of someone.

“It’s not the Yellow Flash.” A brown-skinned Cloud Village Jonin recognized Uchiha Shingen’s appearance. “He’s from the Uchiha clan.”

This only makes people more discouraged.

The Uchiha clan, traditionally known for their aggressive, head-on confrontations, now has such a despicable character! Is there any hope for the ninja world?

As for the large group of Sharingan users on the other side, they were quite traditional and preferred to fight head-on. However, when faced with the combination of Sharingan and Byakugan, even if the Cloud Village Jonin wanted to risk their lives to be heroes, they had nowhere to start.

Eye techniques are so annoying!

All the Cloud Village Jonin thought the same thing.

But no one considered surrendering.

The idea that dying on the battlefield is the best end for a man is deeply rooted in the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Raikage is also the only one among the Five Kage who personally leads his troops into battle every time.

However, the current Fourth Raikage is not here.

He is still in the Land of Frost, leading the main force of his army and supplies southward, and probably hasn't entered the Land of Soup yet.

The Cloud Village Jonin made a decision.

Since we're going to lose anyway, instead of following that ghost around and getting our hands dirty, we might as well take a few Konoha Jonin down with us.

Pulling it means you've made a profit.

First, kill the white-eyed one!

The Cloud Ninja discovered that what truly established an unbreakable advantage for Konoha in this battle was the group of Byakugan!

Because of the Byakugan, the ninjutsu advantage of Konoha ninjas was maximized, while the effectiveness of Kumo ninjas in street fighting was minimized, and their taijutsu advantage was also limited.

More than a dozen Cloud Village Jonin split off half to engage the Konoha Jonin, no longer concerned about chakra consumption. They took drugs that could stimulate chakra and rushed toward their targets with bloodshot eyes.

Several Hyuga Chunin who had no time to dodge were killed in a single encounter.

"All Chunin of the Hyuga clan, retreat!" The Jonin of Konoha could easily see through the other side's intentions and rushed forward to intercept them.

The Hyuga Chunin had no intention of dying, so they all retreated.

It wasn't that they didn't want Chunin to fight Chunin, but mainly because after being dealt with by Uchiha Shingen, almost all the Cloud Ninja below the Jonin level were killed.

Uchiha Shingen reappeared amidst the hateful gazes of the Cloud Village Jonin.

The high-intensity, long-term, uninterrupted use of the Flying Thunder God Technique is also a burden for him. It requires a high degree of mental concentration, and it also puts a strain on his body. Tailed Beast-level chakra is not the same as real chakra as that of a Tailed Beast.
