All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

……

"Retreat... Everyone retreat..."

After Yagura was severely injured by Uchiha Sō's Lightning Release shuriken, Hozuki Suigetsu and the others quickly made a judgment.

In the direct confrontation, it was clear that the well-prepared Konoha side emerged victorious.

They not only captured the Nara Mountain stronghold, but also severely damaged the Kirigakure commander, Yagura Karatachi.

Mei Terumi didn't know why she ended up like this while fighting.

On their side, they had clearly had the advantage before, but Yagura has now become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

As expected, the gap between Konoha and Kirigakure is too great...

"The people of Konoha have already formed an encirclement. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to escape! Mei Terumi, you are the vice commander that Lord Yagura values..."

A Chunin whose left arm had been severed at the root and whose bleeding had been stopped only by using Ice Release approached and shouted at Mei Terumi, whose expression was bitter.

"No, I can't leave first. Someone has to stay behind and hold off the people of Konoha for a while so the others have a chance to escape... My Lava Release and Boil Release are best suited for creating large-scale destructive ninjutsu..."

"Then Ming and I will stay here together..."

Hozuki Suigetsu said with a serious expression.

"Alright, everyone else, retreat! That's an order!"

"Yes!"

The numerous wounded Kirigakure ninjas uttered this single word through gritted teeth, then led Yagura Karatachi towards the southwest, a direction not yet surrounded by Konoha.

"Don't even think about getting away so easily!"

Kakashi Hatake, who always charged ahead of Kirigakure in battle, immediately noticed the Kirigakure's unusual movements and prepared to take action. He forced back Mei Terumi and Suigetsu Hozuki, who were attempting to use a technique to hinder Konoha's pursuit, and broke their large-scale ninjutsu that they were preparing.

However, to Kakashi's surprise, Mei Terumi and Suigetsu Hozuki acted as if they hadn't seen him approaching from the side at all.

He stood there forming hand seals on his own, and then completed the final hand seals a second before the attacker arrived.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

A mighty river surged and roared, carrying with it a terrifyingly corrosive acid mist that descended upon the Konoha ninja.

Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake didn't bother to charge forward alone, and retreated to the side of the Konoha members to help block them.

……

In a small village southeast of Nara, Tsunade and her companions found Uchiha Zō, who was recuperating from his injuries.

Seeing Uchiha Eboshi's clothes stained with blood, Tsunade sighed, walked over to him who was smiling at her, and began to examine his injuries.

"Uchiha brat, do you have to fight so hard?"

"Since I told Tsunade that I wanted to change the ninja world, I naturally have to start by protecting the people around me. Otherwise, what's the point?"

"Start with... protecting the people around you?"

Perhaps she was thinking of something, because Tsunade's expression was particularly complicated after hearing Uchiha Sho's words.

Seeing this, Uchiha Sō seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

"Besides, the more effort I put in, the safer you'll be, Tsunade, right?"

"Hmph! You brat, you're still so good with words... I wonder... how many girls you've fooled..."

"I'm innocent... I never told anyone... this..."

"Ouch... Be gentle... I'm seriously injured right now..."

"We've repelled Kirigakure, and this Shinobi World War is almost over... You'd better come back to Konoha with me to recover..."

"What about Lord Orochimaru..."

"Hmph! You don't need to worry about it..."

"The Sand Village isn't too bad if they're missing one person... Besides, in your current state... you'd be asking for trouble on the battlefield, wouldn't you?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Tsunade, please don't pull my ear..."

Seeing Uchiha Sō completely "suppressed" by Tsunade, Uchiha Igaku revealed a maternal smile. It seems that Sō-nii's plan is not far from success.

I'll defeat Tsunade and become Hokage!

The Uchiha clan finally saw hope of becoming Hokage!

Chapter 28, The Third Hokage's Troubles

Yagura, severely injured, is in the special care ward of Konoha Hospital ten days later.

"The Hidden Mist Village has been severely damaged, the Hidden Sand Village is struggling alone, and the Hidden Stone Village is considering restarting peace negotiations. This war should be coming to an end..."

While examining Uchiha Sho's body, Tsunade relayed the intelligence sent back from the front lines to him.

"I hope everything goes well..."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Eiji felt that with Uchiha Madara entering the Pure Land and Uchiha Obito busy controlling Yagura, the overall peace of the ninja world should not be a major problem.

However, he vaguely remembered that Kirigakure did not completely admit defeat. It seemed that the seven great swords were destroyed by Might Guy before they finally gave in. Also, it seemed that Tsuchi-gakure had launched a sneak attack on Kumo-gakure.

It was this sneak attack that led to the Third Raikage being surrounded and killed by the Earth Ninja army, fully demonstrating the Third Raikage's terrifying power.

"What? You're worried about the front lines now? In your condition, worrying won't do any good. Just focus on recovering from your injuries!"

Looking at the Uchiha elephant gazing out the window, Tsunade said this with a hint of annoyance.

Since withdrawing from the Hidden Mist battlefield, the atmosphere between Tsunade and Uchiha Sō has become somewhat strange!

"Okay... I should be able to be discharged from the hospital today and go back to my clan to recuperate, right?"

Uchiha Sō, who was forcibly held down in Kyutenin by Tsunade, felt like he was about to rot away.

The Third Shinobi World War is drawing to a close, and the development strategy of the Heavenly Court needs to be changed.

After all, the five great powers were busy with their war and couldn't afford to pay attention to other monsters and demons.

However, if he continues to act so recklessly once the war situation eases, there's a good chance that one of the defeated ninja villages might use his branch as a warning to others.

The Heavenly Divine Court, taking advantage of the chaos of the five great nations' war, used the Ministry of Commerce as a means to expand rapidly, making a fortune and becoming a "big fat sheep".

Next, Uchiha Sō prepares to change its previous extensive development model and start to consolidate its strengths.

……

"Is it confirmed?"

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage put down the documents in his hand, took a deep drag on his pipe, closed his eyes and pondered for a while before opening them and slowly exhaling smoke.

To be fair, the Third Hokage was shocked when he received the battle report from the front lines at Mount Nara. He never imagined that a seemingly ordinary Uchiha brat would gain the appreciation of two of his disciples in such a short time after getting close to Orochimaru.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. Even if he had the strength of a Jonin under Orochimaru's "tutelage" and become the second-best "genius" in the Uchiha clan after Shisui, it wouldn't have been enough to shock the Third Hokage.

After all, the Third Hokage was still at the peak of his strength at this moment, the Second Hokage's strongest disciple, a master of ninjutsu, and a powerful figure among the Kage-level.

In the current ninja world, even including the Kage of the other major ninja villages, the Third Hokage was confident that he was among the strongest.

It can be said that he stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world at that time.

However, Uchiha Sō's performance on the Nara Mountain battlefield was simply too dazzling.

It's one thing to take over Kirigakure's Nara Mountain stronghold by himself.

Afterwards, in the battle against the Hidden Mist army, he even fought alone against Yagura Karatachi, who had become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Third Hokage was no stranger to Yagura Karatachi.

This person, who can be called the number one of the new generation of Kirigakure, definitely possessed strength no less than Orochimaru after becoming the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.

Even so, he was still beaten to the brink of death by Uchiha Eboshi.

Although Uchiha Sō was also seriously injured and almost beyond saving.

However, this battle alone demonstrates the terrifying power of Uchiha Zō.

In particular, it is rumored that he also swallowed a Tailed Beast Ball, making him a monstrous physique.

If he hadn't had great confidence in Konoha's intelligence system, and if the Third Hokage of the Anbu who submitted the intelligence hadn't also believed it, he would have thought the intelligence was fake.

Minato Namikaze is undoubtedly a genius who brings endless surprises. He single-handedly cut off Iwagakure's logistics, causing the Land of Earth to prepare for peace talks.

This achievement was impressive enough that it elevated his reputation in Konoha to the level of the Legendary Sannin, making him a strong contender for the next Hokage.

However, Uchiha Sō's record is now even more impressive, which has made Orochimaru, the commander of the battle, the more popular choice to succeed Minato Namikaze as Hokage.

Most importantly, judging from the current situation, this kid has definitely awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Referring to the Kotoamatsukami, the eye technique awakened by Uchiha Shisui when he awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Enoki's awakened eye technique is definitely not weak.

This unknown is what gave the Third Hokage the biggest headache!

Given this kid's prestige within the Uchiha clan and his complex relationship with Orochimaru and Tsunade, the Third Hokage didn't know how far this kid would ultimately go.

The Uchiha clan are truly insane. Besides Uchiha Zō, there was another brat who was giving the Third Hokage a headache—

That was Obito Uchiha, who awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan the moment he opened his eyes.

The fact that this brat "died" right after awakening his Sharingan was, for the Third Hokage at that moment, an unspeakable "good thing."

Although such thoughts are dangerous during wartime, and every ninja is an important force in protecting Konoha, the instability of the Uchiha clan simply makes it impossible for the Third Hokage, who inherited the Second Hokage's ideals, to "like" them.

Besides, this kid is dead, so why did you give the Sharingan to Kakashi?

As a gift for Kakashi to become a Jonin?

Does that mean that for every Konoha ninja who becomes a Jonin, your Uchiha clan can send one to them?

This is utter nonsense!

If Kakashi weren't Minato Namikaze's disciple, the successor of the Third Hokage's lineage, and Minato Namikaze's most valued grand-disciple, he wouldn't have tacitly approved of this matter.

The Third Hokage didn't want to deal with such troublesome matters. Although he handled it well on the surface, the Uchiha clan would definitely not let it go.

Especially now that the Uchiha clan has produced the renowned Uchiha Elephant.

All these troublesome issues piled up, truly making the Third Hokage extremely annoyed.
