Hostile to the Uchiha? Don't regret relocating your entire clan!

He has trampled countless Uchiha ninjas under his feet, and this time will be no exception.

The two pieces were put together.

Haruki Sarutobi is a Jonin and was born into the Sarutobi clan. He has a high level of skill in both ninjutsu and taijutsu.

Therefore, when he saw Uchiha Homura charging up alone, he was very confident that he could take her down.

However, the two had only been fighting for a short time when he inadvertently glanced into Uchiha Homura's eyes while defending.

For a moment, Haruki Sarutobi's mind went blank.

"Illusion Technique - Activate!"

In an instant, Sarutobi Haruki knew he was under a genjutsu and immediately forced the flow of chakra within his body to disrupt it.

Unfortunately, after he regained consciousness, Haruki Sarutobi felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he realized that the other man's longsword had pierced his heart without him noticing.

“You are nothing but a bunch of thieves who have stolen our rights. Your arrogance and conceit have made you so stupid that you can’t even see reality.”

"But from this moment on, under the leadership of Clan Chief Yuzuru, we will reclaim everything that belongs to us!"

Uchiha Homura snorted coldly, picked up his long sword and slashed horizontally, cutting half of Sarutobi Haruki's body in half, instantly killing him.

Back in Konoha, as a member of the police force, he was often harassed by ninjas from clans like Sarutobi and Mitomon.

They're clearly incredibly weak, yet they manage to hog all the credit.

That feeling was incredibly frustrating.

Now, he can finally show these bastards what the real Uchiha are like!

Seeing that even a Jonin like Sarutobi Haruki had died instantly at the hands of Uchiha Homura, Shimura Shinta and Mitomon Ichiro immediately turned and fled.

Nara Sho, Akimichi Shota, and Yamanaka Taishi, who had originally planned to look for an opportunity, had no choice but to abandon their original plans and flee with them.

But it was all too late.

The moment they gazed upon the three-tomoe Sharingan, they were destined to lose their chance of survival.

After easily killing all of them, Fugaku Uchiha simply used Fire Release to burn all the supplies.

The hunt for the Uchiha clan has begun!

Chapter 106 Who said we don't keep our word?

The Third Raikage and Yuzuru Uchiha walked down the street.

The Hidden Cloud Village at this time is completely different from what it was a few years ago.

At Yuzuru Uchiha's suggestion, residential areas, administrative areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, etc., were clearly separated.

The streets have also been redesigned and are now interconnected.

Most of the streets are about 15 meters wide and have all been converted into paved stone slabs.

The houses on both sides of the street are also built with bricks and stones, and covered with insulation material. They are sturdy, durable, and also have a good heat insulation effect.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's warm in winter and cool in summer.

In the commercial district, high-rise buildings have been erected one after another, standing side by side, looking very impressive.

People came and went in the village, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

After strolling around for a while, the Third Raikage couldn't help but sigh, "Yuzuru, without you, Kumogakure wouldn't be what it is today."

"Although I've said it many times, I still can't help but say it again: your importance to Kumogakure far exceeds that of me, the Raikage."

"In terms of merit, you are number one!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and waved his hand: "Third Hokage, you're being too polite. We complement each other perfectly."

"Without your full support, my ideas would not have been able to be put into practice."

When this was mentioned, Yuzuru Uchiha continued with a smile, "Besides, in terms of merit, I'm not even in first place."

"Huh?" The Third Raikage looked at Uchiha Yuzuru with some confusion. "Yuzuru, then who do you think deserves the most credit?"

Uchiha Yuzuru's lips curled slightly: "Of course it's Konoha."

The Third Raikage paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, agreeing wholeheartedly: "That's absolutely true. If it weren't for Konoha, our Hidden Cloud Village... no, our Land of Lightning wouldn't have been able to develop into what it is today."

From repaying the Uchiha clan's assets in the Land of Fire to purchasing various ninja tools from their Hidden Cloud Village in the past two years, Konoha has brought them more than 50 billion ryo in revenue.

It was through this money that the Hidden Cloud Village and even the Land of Lightning were able to successfully complete their large-scale infrastructure projects, laying a solid foundation for the new order.

Even if they continue to develop, all they need to do is add to the existing structure.

"By the way," the Third Raikage suddenly said, "Yuzuru, with the contributions of your Uchiha clan, no one would say anything even if you didn't participate in the war."

"The benefits you have brought to the village have far exceeded the benefits of a war."

Upon hearing the Third Raikage's words, Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head: "Third Hokage, flowers grown in a greenhouse are hard to withstand damage."

"Since the Uchiha clan has come to Kumogakure, they will naturally share weal and woe with Kumogakure."

"Besides, those tribesmen are also warmongers. They've been itching to get going for a while now, so let them go."

Uchiha Yuzuru was not lying; the Uchiha clan members were extremely excited about the attack on Konoha.

After suffering so much humiliation in Konoha, everyone finally has a chance to vent, and no one wants to miss such an opportunity.

The tribesmen have petitioned him to fight more than once.

Under these circumstances, Yuzuru Uchiha couldn't very well refuse.

Of course, the minimum requirement for Uchiha clan members that Yuzuru Uchiha allowed to go to the battlefield was that they possessed the Sharingan with three tomoe.

The Uchiha clan now numbers over 10,000, but only about 300 of them possess the three-tomoe Sharingan.

With the blessing of the "Strengthening the Body" clan motto, each member of the clan with the three-tomoe Sharingan possesses the strength of an elite Jonin.

It would be virtually impossible to inflict mass casualties on them.

"Sandaime, Yuzuru-sama!"

Tsuchidai and Azabu suddenly appeared, blocking the way for Uchiha Yuzuru and the Third Raikage.

As the current logistics manager of Kumogakure, Tsuchida has severe dark circles under his eyes and looks rather listless.

There's nothing he can do; there are just too many things going on in Kumogakure right now. Even with Masashi Azabu's help, he still can only get less than five hours of sleep a day.

If it weren't for the ninja's robust physique, he probably would have died suddenly on the workbench long ago.

The Third Raikage chuckled, "Tsuchidai, you're such a busy man, what brings you out today?"

Tsuchida gave a wry smile and said, "Third Hokage, you and Lord Yuzuru are having a good time being hands-off managers, but it's made my life miserable."

Uchiha Yuzuru patted Tsuchidai on the shoulder: "Tsuchidai, this is a sign of trust in you. You wouldn't receive this kind of treatment in Konoha."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Tsuchida said solemnly, "Lord Yuzuru, I've come to you precisely because of matters concerning Konoha."

"Didn't you tell us to attack Konoha a while ago? Now Hiruzen Sarutobi has sent a letter questioning why we broke our promise and attacked Konoha after buying so many of our ninja tools."

Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow: "Who broke their promise? In business, reputation is the most important thing!"

Seeing his serious expression, Masashi and Tsuchida exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered.

Konoha was the top supplier of ninja tools to their Hidden Cloud Village. If they truly valued integrity, they shouldn't have attacked Konoha.

Seeing their confused expressions, Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "In the past, when Konoha and Sunagakure fought, Konoha purchased more ninja tools than Sunagakure. Did we not attack Konoha then?"

Masashi and Tsuchida nodded.

Uchiha Yuzuru continued, "If Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure attack Konoha together, wouldn't Konoha have to purchase more than all three of them combined?"

Upon hearing this, Masashi Azabu and Tsuchidai were stunned once again.

Is this okay?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense!

Seeing the two of them, Uchiha Yuzuru let out a soft snort.

It's all knowledge, so you should learn it!

“Go and reply to Hiruzen Sarutobi now, and repeat what I just said.”

“Our reputation is important, and we can’t let him slander us out of thin air.”

Tsuchidai and Azabu were completely convinced and immediately straightened up, saying loudly, "Yes, Lord Yuzuru!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado all wore expressions of resentment.

Since the Hidden Cloud Village joined the war, the front lines have been in constant danger, and the defenses that had been so hard-won are now on the verge of collapse.

Especially those elusive Uchiha ninjas.

They never confronted them head-on, but instead used them as a surprise attack force to specifically target their lone ninjas.

Even an elite squad of three Jonin has been wiped out by the enemy, which has made it much more difficult for them to transport supplies to the front lines.

If things continue like this, once the outer defenses are breached, the flames of war could spread to the Land of Fire's homeland!

"The inherently evil Uchiha brat!"

Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

Since the Hidden Cloud Village had no intention of concealing the truth, they already knew that the idea of ​​using war to do business was proposed by Uchiha Yuzuru.

They had always found it strange that the brutes of Kumogakure, known for their lack of common sense, could come up with such an amazing plan.

It turns out that it was all Uchiha Yuzuru's doing behind the scenes.

But even if you're up to something, they'll accept it, even though it's a blatant conspiracy.

It's nothing more than losing money to avoid disaster.

But they had already spent so much money on ninja tools in Kumogakure, so why did Kumogakure still declare war on Konoha?

This is completely untrustworthy!

Koharu Utatane said with heartache, "Hiruzen, our four clans have spent so much money this time, you absolutely have to demand an explanation from Kumogakure."

"Don't worry, I've already sent people to protest to Kumogakure." Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "If they want to go back on their word, there's nothing we can do, but we can ruin their reputation."

"Isn't the Uchiha clan the most concerned about honor? Then let's take this opportunity to tarnish their reputation."

The Uchiha clan is a noble clan among ninjas, renowned throughout the ninja world since the Warring States period.

If we can use this opportunity to ruin the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the hearts of the ninja world, then we can finally vent our anger!

After all... for a prestigious ninja family with a history spanning thousands of years, its reputation is an extremely important asset.

If they want to back out, then the entire family will bear this stain that can never be erased!

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's plan, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all nodded in agreement.

It has to be you, Hiruzen.

Although they lost a lot of money, if they could truly brand the Uchiha clan with the stain of treachery, then it wouldn't be a loss.

Seeing the praising looks from his old teammates, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a little proud. His gaze unconsciously drifted to the crystal ball on his desk, and he secretly decided to reward himself after they left.

Just then, an Anbu member appeared in the office in a flash. He placed the scroll in his hand on the desk and said in a deep voice, "Lord Hokage, the Hidden Cloud Village has already responded to our protest."

Chapter 107: We were tricked from the very beginning.

"Has the Hidden Cloud Village responded?"

Upon hearing the report from the Anbu, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado all raised their eyebrows.

They were all very curious about what choice the Hidden Cloud Village would make.

Should they choose to reconcile with them, or risk the reputation of the Uchiha clan and the entire Hidden Cloud Village?

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled as he took the scroll from the Anbu's hands.

He was in a good mood because whatever choice the Hidden Cloud Village made—whether it was abandoning the war against Konoha or sacrificing its reputation—was acceptable to him.

He even now somewhat hopes that the Hidden Cloud Village will choose to continue participating in the war.

This completely ruined the reputation of Kumogakure and the Uchiha clan in the ninja world.
