Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

"Is that so?" Uchiha Touko followed the finger of Uzumaki Anri and looked down. The next moment, Susanoo's hand gripped the long sword at its waist.

“And those people over there, they all forcibly absorbed my life force,” Anri Uzumaki said through gritted teeth.

"Hokage! Wait a minute!" Just then, on the roof of the tallest building in Kusagakure, a man shouted at Susanoo, "Kusagakure is willing to apologize and compensate! Please, Hokage, show mercy."

"Do you realize your mistake now?" Uchiha Touko's words echoed throughout the entire Kusagakure village. "Unfortunately, all you know is that you are going to die. Konoha has already given you a chance."

The enormous Susanoo slowly drew the long sword from its waist, and in an instant, the sky darkened and lightning roared!

The overwhelming thunderclouds completely enveloped the entire Kusagakure village. After evolving into its perfect form, Uchiha Touko's Susanoo also obtained its own divine weapon, the legendary sword of Takemikazuchi, the god of war.

The unsheathed longsword gleamed with a cold light, emitting soft hums the moment it was drawn, echoing the rolling thunder and lightning in the thunderclouds overhead.

The massive Susanoo raised its longsword high, and in the next moment, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the direction where the ninjas from Kusagakure were gathering below.

Violent explosions echoed throughout Kusagakure, followed by screams of agony.

Under Uchiha Touko's lock, anyone in the entire Kusagakure village who showed any fluctuation of chakra became the target of this heavenly lightning.

A minute later, Futsu-no-Mitama sheathed his sword, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually subsided, and a torrential downpour washed away all the filth in Kusagakure.

In just one minute, seven or eight out of ten Jonin of Kusagakure were killed. The Chunin and below were alright, except for a few geniuses. They didn't have the qualifications to recover from their injuries by biting Anri Uzumaki. Therefore, Tokko Uchiha didn't kill them all. He just gave them a wave of electric therapy according to the standards of Chunin and Genin in Konoha. If they could withstand it, they were fine. If they couldn't, they could only blame their bad luck.

Even so, more than half of the ninjas in the entire Hidden Grass Village were killed or injured in this wave of lightning.

Those who survived were filled with relief at having escaped a calamity. A few of the weaker ones even knelt down and prostrated themselves before the giant Susanoo in the center of the village.

The lightning strike just now had completely shattered the will of Kusagakure. Faced with this godlike being, no one dared to even think of resisting.

Inside Susanoo, Anri and Karin Uzumaki, standing behind Touko Uchiha, were also in a daze, watching this scene in disbelief.

Uchiha Touko's Susanoo strode forward, and in just a few steps, it crushed several buildings in the center of Kusagakure, arriving in front of the Kusagakure leader who had spoken on the roof earlier.

At this moment, the man was panting heavily. He had used all his strength to survive the lightning storm, thanks to his wind chakra attribute, which is somewhat effective against lightning. However, this had completely drained his stamina and chakra. Now, facing the approaching Susanoo, he couldn't even raise his hand and could only watch with despair as Susanoo drew closer and closer.

Susanoo stopped in front of him.

Uchiha Touko turned and glanced at Uzumaki Anri, then asked, "Has this guy ever hurt you?"

Anri Uzumaki shook her head and said, "I've never seen him, so I don't think I've ever met him."

"Very good, your conscience saved your life." Uchiha Touko nodded at the man. "Now, I'll speak, listen, do you understand?"

The person lying on the roof raised their head and swayed it up and down.

“From today onwards, you are the leader of Kusagakure,” said Uchiha Touko.

"What happened to Kusagakure today is entirely their own fault. This is just a warning. However, if you want revenge, you are welcome to do so. But next time you won't be so lucky."

"Yes..." The person on the rooftop used all his strength to squeeze out this single word.

"Furthermore, the descendants of the Uzumaki clan have been mistreated in your Kusagakure village. I want to see 15 billion ryo in compensation within two weeks, either in cash or ninja tools of equal value. If the money is not delivered to Konoha within two weeks, I will come again to demand it in person. Do you understand?"

"Yes..." the person on the roof said weakly.

Uchiha Touko nodded, and the giant Susanoo turned and walked out of the village. As it left the village, the gate of Kusagakure was crushed by Susanoo's foot.

……

After leaving Kusagakure, the giant Susanoo slowly dissipated, and Uchiha Touko landed gently with Uzumaki Anri and Uzumaki Karin.

At this moment, the medical ninja who had come with Uchiha Touko rushed forward to check on the physical condition of the mother and daughter.

The medical ninja's expression changed slightly after examining Anri Uzumaki's body.

"How is it?" Uchiha Touko asked quickly upon seeing the other's expression.

"Hurry back and let Lady Tsunade treat her," the medical ninja said. "Her body is severely depleted. It's only because she's from the Uzumaki clan and has such deep reserves that an ordinary person would have died long ago from this level of life force depletion."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touko sighed and said to Uzumaki Anri, "I'm so sorry we're late. Come back to Konoha with us."

"Konoha?" Anri Uzumaki's lips twitched. Even though Touko Uchiha had just saved her and Karin and avenged them, Anri Uzumaki hadn't completely let her guard down. Her experiences over the years had made it hard for her to trust anyone anymore. She knew all too well what her bloodline meant to the ninja village.

"Don't worry, no one will try to drain your life force anymore," Uchiha Touko said. "I assure you in the name of the Hokage. Besides, there are still your clansmen in Konoha."

“My… clansmen?” Anri Uzumaki asked, stunned.

“Yes, you should know Kushina Uzumaki, right?” Touko Uchiha said.

"Princess Kushina?" Although she had to flee to the ninja world at a very young age, Anri Uzumaki had heard of Kushina, the princess of the Uzumaki clan, when she was a child in Uzushio Village.

“Her son is currently in Konoha, and he is also my disciple,” Uchiha Touko said. “Konoha will protect every comrade, including you and your daughter.”

Karvin

The next chapter is very important, as it relates to the situation between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire.

The initial idea, upon closer examination, proved to be flawed and did not align with Onoki's character when facing Uchiha Madara. Therefore, it had to be scrapped and started over, requiring a day off to re-analyze the scenario.

Also, I've finished all my work at the company today.

I will resume updating 6000 words per update from tomorrow until the end of the month, and there will be occasional bursts of updates.

Chapter 139 The Daimyo of the Land of Grass's Condemnation

“Okay.” Anri Uzumaki nodded. Then, considering that Anri Uzumaki’s current body might not be able to withstand the teleportation of the Flying Thunder God Formation, the group bought a carriage in a small town not far from Kusagakure and headed towards Konoha at a leisurely pace.

The next day, while the group was still on their way, news of the ordeal in Kusagakure spread throughout the surrounding countries, large and small.

At this point, the leaders of the various ninja villages realized that Uchiha Touko's previous statement was serious!

Upon learning the news, some leaders of smaller ninja villages began checking overnight to see if any of their forces had descendants of the Uzumaki clan, fearing that their forces might suffer the same fate as Kusagakure.

Within the Land of Rain, Nagato frowned upon hearing about the plight of Kusagakure, a village bordering their own. It wasn't that he pitied Kusagakure's fate; among the nations situated between the two great powers of Fire and Earth, Kusagakure was the most disliked and troublesome. They always seemed to be trying to take advantage of others during missions. While they dared not take advantage of the larger nations, Kusagakure, being a smaller country themselves, had been thoroughly harassed by them. If Nagato hadn't felt the time wasn't right and wanted to remain hidden, he would have already given Kusagakure a good beating.

However, Uchiha Touko's act of wiping out most of the people in Kusagakure brought back some unpleasant memories for Nagato.

"Heh, is this the arrogance of a great power?" Nagato's eyes were icy as he looked at the intelligence report brought by his subordinate.

"A colossal war god, a hundred meters tall..." Nagato pondered in his heart, when Konan walked into his room.

"Nagato..."

Konan hesitated, but the tacit understanding from years of partnership allowed Nagato to understand her meaning, and he replied:

"Don't worry, although that thing looks terrifying, in terms of destructive power, my Shinra Tensei is no less than it. Pain's Six Paths are more than enough to deal with that guy."

“Okay,” Konan nodded, placed the food she brought for Nagato on the table, and then left Nagato’s room.

Meanwhile, in Iwagakure, Onoki was grinding his teeth in frustration as he looked at the intelligence report delivered by his subordinates.

"Are you sure it's a Susanoo that's a hundred meters tall and covered in armor?" Onoki repeatedly asked the ninja who was delivering the information to him.

"According to the survivors of Kusagakure, that's correct," the ANBU member nodded.

"Damn it! Another Uchiha Madara?" Onoki slammed his fist on the table.

He just didn't understand. Were Konoha's geniuses like leeks? You could harvest one crop and another would grow!

Over the years, Konoha, as Iwagakure's greatest enemy, has been a key focus of his attention.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who had caused them countless troubles in the last Shinobi World War, died at the hands of his own tailed beast.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to power, he grew increasingly weak with age, and with the high-ranking officials of Konoha making one blunder after another, the previous generation of geniuses in Konoha died one after another. Meanwhile, Iwagakure was thriving under his leadership. Although it was somewhat weak in terms of top-tier geniuses, and no one had been able to inherit his Dust Release technique for many years, and the village's most talented young man, Deidara, was not quite right in the head, Iwagakure's overall strength was already showing signs of surpassing Konoha.

However, to Onoki's surprise, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha was born so quickly after only a short time.

Moreover, he was an Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and became the Fifth Hokage.

Unlike Nagato, who had never witnessed Madara Uchiha's battles and could only judge the strength of Uchiha Touko based on destructive power, Onoki was someone who had personally experienced that era! Madara Uchiha's god-like Susanoo left a deep impression on the young Onoki at the time; it was a power that no human could contend with. In that era, there was only one Hashirama Senju; otherwise, Madara Uchiha alone could have wiped out the entire ninja world.

But now, someone is telling him that Konoha has produced another Uchiha with this power, and this person is not even 20 years old!

Onoki wasn't entirely unaware of the Uchiha clan's previous predicament. He had previously considered poaching members from the Uchiha clan, but due to the immense difficulty, he hadn't taken any concrete action. However, to his utter surprise, someone from the Uchiha clan was able to pull them out of that deep pit and successfully become the leader of Konoha.

After a while, Onoki calmed down, sat at his desk, and pondered his future strategy.

After Uchiha Touko took the stage, all the previous arrangements became useless.

He must rethink his strategy for facing Konoha in the future.

Although Uchiha Touko's active battlefield in the Third Shinobi World War was in the direction of Kirigakure in the southeast of the Land of Fire, Onoki had heard of Uchiha Touko's name before. Onoki could accept that this Uchiha genius, who could be said to have single-handedly instilled fear in the entire Kirigakure, had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, the strength that Uchiha Touko displayed in Kusagakure could not be simply summarized by the Mangekyou Sharingan.

More importantly, since the other party was able to lead the Uchiha clan out of that mess, his character and methods are naturally beyond question.

"So, is this a Madara Uchiha with brains?" Onoki sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Let's try to get in touch with him and test his personality during this time."

Just as Onoki was still figuring out how to test Uchiha Touko, there was another knock on the door of the Tsuchikakushi office.

"Lord Tsuchikage, Deidara blew up the toilets at the Ninja Academy, and now the Ninja Academy..."

The ANBU member who came to report hesitated, but Onoki had already imagined the scene, and his blood pressure immediately soared.

"That bastard! Didn't I tell him not to play with his bombs?" Onoki roared angrily, slamming his fist on the table.

"Uh, Lord Tsuchikage, according to the information we received, this incident was instigated by your granddaughter, who told Deidara she didn't want to go to school..."

"Is there something to do with the black soil in this?" The old man sat up abruptly upon hearing this, but the next moment, he clutched his back, cold sweat pouring down his back. "My back!"

……

Just as chaos reigned in the Land of Earth, Uchiha Touko and his group returned to the village.

The first thing the group did upon returning to the village was to have Tsunade give Anri Uzumaki a thorough medical check-up.

After examining Anri Uzumaki, Tsunade instantly became furious. Anri's body was severely depleted, and she was practically on her deathbed. The people from Kusagakure hadn't treated her like a human being at all.

"Those bastards from Kusagakure!" Tsunade cursed as she looked at Anri Uzumaki's medical report. After cursing, she turned to Touko Uchiha and asked, "How did you deal with those bastards?"

“None of the guys who absorbed her life force escaped,” Uchiha Touko said calmly.

"Well done!" Tsunade said. Whether out of blood ties or out of a doctor's ethics, Tsunade was furious at Kusagakure's actions. So, when she heard the news that Uchiha Touko had gone on a killing spree in Kusagakure, Tsunade clapped her hands in delight.

"Let's not talk about that now, do you have a treatment plan?" Uchiha Touko asked.

"It's probably difficult to completely cure her; the loss of her life force is too severe." Upon hearing this, Tsunade's expression also became very solemn. "For now, we can only use mild medicines to slowly recuperate her body. As for her bloodline ability, it can no longer be used in the future."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she stared intently at Uchiha Touko.

"Do I look that much of a bastard?" Uchiha Touko was both amused and exasperated by the look in her eyes. Although this old woman had given up the Senju surname, she had completely inherited Tobirama Senju's suspicion of the Uchiha clan.
