Normally, Danzo Shimura was a warmonger.

Faced with such obstruction from the two advisors today, he didn't utter a single word.

This is quite unlike his usual style.

"Sarutobi, I advise you to take a look at the list of the most recent batch of fallen ninjas before making a decision."

Koharu Utatane's reminder interrupted Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts.

He snapped out of his reverie and glanced at Koharu Utatane.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up the list of fallen ninjas on the table and began to look at it.

He flipped through the list of the dead page by page, and many of the names on it were very familiar.

Some of these names come from their Sarutobi clan.

There were also clansmen from other prestigious families in Konoha.

Including the Hyuga clan, Uchiha clan, Inuzuka clan, Akimichi clan, Yamanaka clan, and Aburame clan.

In addition to their names, the list of the dead also recorded their age and gender.

The more I looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, the heavier my heart became.

Because most of these fallen ninjas were young people.

The youngest is only eight years old, and the oldest is no more than thirty-five.

The elderly can be sacrificed, but the young are the future of a ninja village, the fresh blood of the village.

Without the influx of fresh blood, the decline of ninja villages and nations is almost inevitable.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to admit that he did feel a slight wavering in his heart.

Sitting in the chair, his eyes were half-open.

Danzo Shimura, who hadn't said much, silently observed Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction.

He suddenly spoke up.

“Sarutobi is right. Our Konoha has indeed suffered considerable losses in this war.”

But aren't the enemy the same?

"Now it's a contest of endurance; whoever can hold out until the end will be the winner."

We have just repelled the Hidden Mist Village's forces, forcing the Land of Water to decide to sit down and negotiate. The advantage is now on our side.

"I cannot understand why they would retreat when they clearly had the upper hand."

Of course, the decision is entirely yours, Sarutobi.

After saying that, Shimura Danzo, as if in deep meditation, continued to doze off with his eyes half-open.

His words just now really struck a chord with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Dispatch more intelligence units to gather intelligence on all sides on the battlefield."

Let's examine the relative combat strengths of our two sides.

"In short, we can now concentrate some of our forces to go to the battlefield and support other fronts."

We'll see the outcome once we start fighting; that's the decision.

After finishing his sentence, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe again and looked out the window.

Mitokado En and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance.

He looked like he was hesitant to speak.

Meanwhile, Shimura Danzo, who remained outwardly calm, was secretly delighted.

...

Uchiha Ryosuke quickly made his way through the forest.

They prepared to return to find and reunite with the Uchiha clan members.

Throughout the journey, his extraordinary perception relentlessly scanned the entire battlefield.

Since Kirigakure suffered heavy losses under his leadership in the counterattack.

They no longer dare to send large forces into the Land of Fire to harass and wage war.

The defeat and annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen further exacerbated the fear and apprehension of the Land of Water.

Currently, on the eastern front, at least within Uchiha Ryosuke's perception range, no enemy is active.

"I suppose the Third Generation will either summon us back or send us to support other battlefields."

Uchiha Ryosuke was thinking to himself when he suddenly stopped.

He had just stopped when a figure appeared on the horizontal branch of the big tree opposite him.

The person looked younger than him, only a teenager.

He has short black hair, carries a short sword on his back, and wears a Konoha headband.

His face was resolute, and his eyes, though firm, also revealed a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

"The Uchiha genius, the flawless ninja 'Shisui of the Body Flicker'..."

With just one glance, Uchiha Ryosuke recognized the person's identity.

After all, they are all members of the Uchiha clan, and the name Shisui of the Body Flicker is known to everyone.

Uchiha Shisui's gaze swept over Uchiha Ryosuke's face.

It slowly landed on the weapons he was carrying on his back.

These were all spoils of war from defeating the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

This includes the twin swords Hiramekarei used by Hozuki Senjin and the blunt sword Kabuto-giri used by Tsubasa-no-Yaru.

Kurihara Kushimaru's long sword, Sewing Needle, and Munashi Jinpachi's explosive sword, Frozen Spray.

If it weren't for the other three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen escaping while their companion was holding back Uchiha Ryosuke.

Uchiha Ryosuke could have collected all seven ninja swords.

"Looks like I'm late."

After glancing at him for a few moments, Uchiha Shisui calmly spoke.

This statement seems to imply that he also came to pursue the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Is this also your goal?

Uchiha Ryosuke pointed to the weapons he was carrying on his back.

"There have been many rumors about you on the battlefield lately. It seems you must have awakened your Sharingan by now, right?"

Uchiha Shisui countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ryosuke suddenly used an advanced Body Flicker Technique and instantly appeared in front of his opponent.

The two stood side by side, and Uchiha Ryosuke turned his head to look at the other person:

"I am currently at the highest level of the Sharingan."

He was testing the waters with those words.

I want to see how far Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan has been developed.

As expected, upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui's eyes showed a slight hint of surprise: "The Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Such a question reveals a great deal of information.

First of all, Uchiha Shisui already knew about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Ordinary Uchiha ninjas are unaware of this secret.

This most likely means that he has now awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"kaleidoscope?"

Uchiha Ryosuke continued to feign ignorance, displaying a puzzled expression:

"Isn't the highest form of the Sharingan the three tomoe?"

Upon hearing this, the surprise on Uchiha Shisui's face immediately subsided considerably.

Instead, there was a sudden realization: "That's not it."

"Beyond the three-tomoe form, there is an even more advanced form of the Sharingan, which is the true power of the Uchiha clan."

As he spoke, Uchiha Shisui's eyes suddenly changed shape.

His originally dark and bright eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan in the blink of an eye.

It was shaped like a four-bladed windmill, exuding an aura of mystery and unfathomable depth.

Upon seeing Uchiha Shisui display the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Ryosuke showed a surprised expression again.

This time, I was genuinely surprised.

He hadn't expected that Uchiha Shisui had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at this time...

Chapter 29 Liang You, you win!

After a brief moment of surprise, Uchiha Ryosuke revealed a look of curiosity and envy.

"I thought that after I opened my eyes, I could catch up with you with my Body Flicker Technique."

"It seems there is still a certain gap in strength between us."

"But how did you do that?"

He appeared to be sincerely seeking knowledge and humbly asking for advice.

Uchiha Shisui didn't hold back either, and after putting away his Mangekyou Sharingan, he explained:

"The brutal battlefield caused many deaths, and I witnessed the sacrifice of my former best friends and my teammates."

"At that moment, I felt an overwhelming surge of anger welling up in my chest, and my eyes were filled with a large amount of special chakra."

This is the Mangekyou Sharingan, the strongest form of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit.

"It must be a very deep bond..."

Uchiha Ryosuke nodded in sudden realization.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui changed the subject and said:

"I received intelligence that elite ninjas from Kirigakure were active on the battlefield, wantonly hunting down our forces."

So I rushed over to check the situation.

"I killed four of those guys, and the remaining three escaped."

Uchiha Ryosuke explained.

"The situation on the eastern front has been basically brought under control."

The latest news is that both the Land of Water and Kirigakure have agreed to sit down for peace talks, and the village has ordered us to go to other battlefields to provide support.

"Let's go and meet up with the other Uchiha now."

"it is good."

Uchiha Ryosuke nodded indifferently.

As Uchiha Shisui turned around, preparing to jump, he...

Suddenly turning to Uchiha Ryosuke, he said, "How about I call you Brother Ryosuke from now on?"

"Call me senior... Brother makes me seem too old. The age difference between us isn't that big."

Uchiha Ryosuke shrugged with a smile.

"Alright, let's go then, Senior Ryoyu."

As soon as Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, a massive surge of chakra suddenly erupted within his body.
