No, it should be said that Konoha's defenses are practically impregnable. Although hundreds of ninjas are injured or killed in every major battle, very few die, and thanks to Tsunade's healing, they can all recover quickly.

On the contrary, the Cloud Village suffers dozens of casualties every now and then, and their recovery is not as fast as that of the Leaf Village. With this disparity, they will definitely fall into a disadvantageous position.

Having realized this, the commander of the Cloud Village forces reported the current situation to the Fourth Raikage and requested reinforcements.

"What?!"

The Fourth Raikage slammed his fist on the desk, looking utterly incredulous.

"Aren't the people of Konoha less than half the size of ours?!"

Tu Tai was somewhat surprised and sighed.

"Lord Raikage, our forces are facing the Uchiha clan head-on this time. Although we have the overall advantage, the situation in some areas is not optimistic."

"Especially the area that Shisui is in charge of is impossible to break through."

"According to the report, even Jonin who have undergone genjutsu resistance training can fall victim to that genjutsu without realizing it."

"Besides the Uchiha, the secret clans of Konoha are also very difficult to deal with. We were only able to win by relying on our numerical advantage."

"There are also some newly emerging ninjas, such as the illusionist Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi the Lightning Blade, and Obito the Flame Dancer, who all require several Jonin to hold them off."

"Even the logistics unit has gained two ninjas who only use taijutsu and call themselves the Blue Beasts of Konoha."

"The most troublesome ones are still Slug Princess Tsunade and her disciple Shizune. Their medical ninjutsu is too strong. Those with minor injuries can recover on the same day, and those with serious injuries can fight again in just one week."

"Effective casualties can only be achieved by instantly killing someone or causing an incurable injury."

As he spoke, Tu Tai felt a strange yet helpless feeling.

Why is it that no matter how heavy the losses are in Konoha, new geniuses always rise up and protect Konoha?

This is incomparable.

"Are there any other options?"

The Fourth Raikage refused to believe that after decades of diligent efforts, the Hidden Cloud Village still couldn't defeat the exhausted Konoha.

Tu Tai hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The two Yukito have recently expressed their willingness to participate in the war."

"She has already mastered full Tailed Beast transformation, but she hasn't learned how to use the Tailed Beast Ball."

That's enough!

The Fourth Raikage made the decision directly.

"Have Yugito and the Jonin team coordinate to bombard the enemy lines with the power of the Two-Tails!"

"Yes!"

In fact, Tsuchida believed that Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails were the most suitable combination to break through the enemy's lines.

After nearly half a year of training, Killer Bee is now able to transform into a Tailed Beast and unleash a regular Tailed Beast Ball.

Unfortunately, he knew that the Raikage would never allow his "younger brother" to approach the battlefield.

After everything was decided, Kumogakure dispatched a thousand ninja troops and two Yugito to the battlefield.

All of this was promptly learned by Danzo Shimura.

He had naturally heard of the Jinchuriki trained by Kumogakure, but he figured they couldn't be that powerful.

So what if we release the Two-Tailed Beast?

His Root unit has ninjas who can use Wood Release and also have combined sealing techniques to seal tailed beasts.

While Kagami's current Wood Release technique is indeed no match for the First Hokage's devastating Wood Release, if the sealing technique can be perfected and Kagami can use the Nine-Tails' chakra, then his Wood Release will be completely transformed with the support of a massive amount of chakra.

By then, Konoha will truly have the strength to conquer the entire ninja world.

Thinking of this, Danzo Shimura felt incredibly happy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi has made a huge mistake this time, and he can be impeached after the war ends.

If he can be forced out of the Hokage position again, then the Fifth Hokage will inevitably be him or Orochimaru.

What if Minato Namikaze suddenly recovers?

We need to send someone to kill him, and then pin the blame on Kiyoi Gen of the Konoha Merchant Guild.

One day, Danzo will lead Konoha to unify the entire ninja world, and he will become the greatest ninja in history.

The brilliance of Hiruzen Sarutobi is no match for his!

Danzo Shimura was dreaming of a bright future.

Just as Danzo had predicted, things were going exactly as they were on the battlefield.

Even though the two Yugitos had fully transformed into their tailed beast forms and managed to break through the defenses in a short time with their powerful consecutive fire jutsu, they were ultimately stopped by Kakashi, Obito, Kabuto who could use wood jutsu, and many Root ninjas who used sealing techniques.

Because of this battle, both the Hokage's direct subordinates in the Anbu and the people of Kumogakure knew that Konoha had a new Wood Release ninja.

Although it is still very weak.

Afterwards, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally learned that the Jinchuriki was a Wood Release ninja.

He immediately came up with a plan to deal with Danzo and was thinking about how to turn the tide.

But now that we are at war, it is not an easy time for him to make a move.

Afterwards, the Hidden Cloud Village organized several more operations, but they were all detected and stopped in time by Kakashi and other Anbu members.

During this time, he and Obito also had several interactions with Wood Release ninjas from Root, and the two sides developed a basic impression of each other.

Gradually, as the two sides fought back and forth, the scales of victory tipped more and more in Konoha's favor.

When the time came to the end of May in the fiftieth year of Konoha, Tsunade, who should have been stationed in the rear, led her elite troops straight into the heart of Kumogakure, utterly defeated Kumogakure, and even nearly captured the two Yugito.

This battle secured Konoha's victory, and Kumogakure had no choice but to admit defeat.

Finally, the war, which had lasted for more than a year, came to an end. Both sides immediately prepared to sign a peace treaty, and the Cloud Village side would also have to pay a large amount of compensation in kind.

Although Konoha won this battle, the internal conflicts within the village became increasingly apparent.

Chapter 271 The Indignant Uchiha

On the battlefield, many Konoha ninjas were packing their belongings to return to Konoha.

Yuhi Makoto gazed at her daughter, who was almost seventeen and had grown into a very beautiful young woman with a heroic air about her on the battlefield, and then smiled with satisfaction.

In a previous battle, his daughter had saved his life, and her illusionary skills, which surpassed even her father's, as well as her superior physical abilities, truly surprised him.

Having his daughter follow Lady Tsunade was indeed the right decision, thanks to Genji's guidance.

"Father?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Shinku Yuhi, who was staring blankly, and asked in confusion.

"nothing"

Kurenai Yuhi's serious expression melted, and she sighed.

“My daughter is all grown up now, and I don’t need to worry about her anymore.”

Kurenai smiled, her bright red lips curving slightly.

"Father, I'm going back to Hatsuhi Castle with Lady Tsunade in a bit. Please come visit Hatsuhi Castle when you have time."

"Ah good."

Despite saying that, Kurenai Yuhi doesn't think she'll have time to travel anymore.

This war has caused Konoha to lose many ninjas, and he will probably be so busy that he won't have time to rest.

Kurenai bid farewell to her father and went directly to Tsunade's tent, where Tsunade and Shizune had already packed their things.

After saying goodbye to Kakashi, Obito, Kurenai Yuhi, and the others, the three of them set off directly back to Sunrise Castle.

For them, coming to the battlefield was just to help; they didn't need any honor or reward.

What they yearn for most is to return to that happy and warm place and continue their lives.

Mikoto Uchiha returned to Konoha after the war had lasted for half a year, and acted as the intermediary between the Hiashi and Hizashi brothers and Gen Kiyoi.

To Kiyoi Gen's surprise, the brothers Hiashi and Hizashi actually wrote to him with their ideas for reforming the Hyuga clan, asking if there were any flaws.

Furthermore, Hizashi also subtly mentioned that Hyuga Neji is almost three years old and hopes to study with Kiyoi Gen for a period of time before entering the Ninja Academy.

Kiyoshi did not give a direct response, but simply had Mikoto send over a few books.

He is currently busy with his daily work, making the most of his time to plan the governance and management of his vast future territory.

This step involves a massive amount of work.

Every so often, the personnel responsible for conducting field investigations in various countries would report new problems, so Kiyoshi Gen needed to constantly discuss with the administrative management team how to govern each region and how to provide economic support for its development.

A massive draft is taking shape, and the grassroots management team is gradually being completed.

Originally, Kiyoshi Gen intended to continue his efforts and finish the work.

But after Tsunade and the others returned and news came from Konoha, he had to stop working and focus his attention on Konoha.

Because he received information from Aino, discontent within the Uchiha clan erupted.

"Chieftain!"

Inside the large room where the Uchiha clan held meetings, a large group of ninjas, led by Uchiha Hishu, wearing their clan uniforms, shouted in unison to Uchiha Fugaku, who was wearing a Konoha green vest.

"The Konoha leadership's desire to destroy the Uchiha clan remains undiminished!"

"In this war, our Uchiha clan was at the forefront, and far too many of our clansmen died."

"We have fulfilled our duties as members of Konoha, but have the Konoha leadership rewarded us?"

Huo Xiu angrily slammed his fist on the tatami mat.

"no!"

"They didn't even let up their surveillance on the Uchiha during the war!"

Huo Xiu's grandfather was Uchiha Setsuna, a person who claimed to have inherited Madara's will.
