"This is an open conspiracy."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat smug.

When your Hidden Cloud Village used open schemes to swindle money from our Leaf Village, did you ever imagine that you would end up in such a predicament?

However, the smile on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face vanished completely the moment he opened the scroll.

His face turned deathly pale, and the pipe in his hand fell onto the desk.

Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered, his lips trembling, "These bastards... they're so cunning!"

After saying that, his deathly pale face suddenly regained its color.

He then coughed up a mouthful of blood, slumped onto the table with a thud, and passed out.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and the others were all stunned.

What exactly was written on the scroll that made the usually composed Hiruzen so angry?

Based on their earlier guesses, they should be able to accept whatever response the Hidden Cloud Village gives.

Thinking of this, Koharu Utatane immediately took the scroll from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

The next second, she felt a dizzying sensation, her body swayed, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

"The Uchiha clan is inherently evil... They've been plotting against us from the very beginning!"

"We've been tricked!"

Seeing Koharu Utatane wailing on the ground, Homura Mitokado and Danzo Shimura became even more restless.

They all crowded around and took the scroll in their hands.

The reply on the scroll was very simple.

First, it was stated that from beginning to end, the Hidden Cloud Village has maintained a fine tradition of keeping its word and valuing its promises, and there has absolutely been no instance of breaking faith or abandoning its promises.

Next, he explained why the Hidden Cloud Village had joined the war.

According to the scroll, the current situation in the ninja world is three against one.

If you want Kumogakure to give up its war against Konoha, you need to spend more money than Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure combined to buy ninja tools.

At the end of the scroll, there was also a warm greeting from Uchiha Yuzuru to the four of them.

After reading it, Danzo Shimura and Homura Mitokado finally understood why Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane were so angry.

It seems that they had already made plans from the beginning; the so-called agreement was just an excuse to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.

After all, no matter how wealthy the Land of Fire is, it's impossible for them to spend more money on ninja tools than the three villages combined when they are at war with Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure at the same time.

From the very beginning, they were targeted as a piece of easy prey!

A chilling feeling arose spontaneously.

Uchiha Yuzuru...

That guy is too cunning!

Recalling their smug expressions just moments before, Shimura Danzo and the others felt their faces burning with embarrassment.

They even said they were ruining the reputation of Kumogakure and the Uchiha clan...

That's just so clownish!

Compared to Uchiha Yuzuru, they were as innocent and naive as children.

Even if this matter were to spread throughout the entire ninja world, people would only laugh at the four of them for being idiots and incompetent, right?

Koharu was still crying on the ground, and Homura Mitokado leaned against the wall, looking lost. Danzo Shimura remained silent, his knuckles white from clenching his fists.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained motionless, lying face down on the table, and none of his three old teammates paid any attention to whether he was alive or dead.

After all, this time was different from the previous times; their losses... were all money they had paid out of their own pockets!

No, we must find a way to make up for these losses!

Uchiha clan.

In the courtyard, Karura, Kushina Uzumaki, and Mikoto Uchiha were teasing Itachi Uchiha.

Uchiha Yuzuru was lying on a rocking chair nearby, leisurely basking in the sun.

The weasel is over three years old, with fair and clean skin.

In terms of appearance, she completely inherited the advantages of Uchiha Yuzuru and Uchiha Mikoto, with red lips, white teeth, and lively eyes.

Kushina Uzumaki, holding a string of three-colored dumplings, smiled and said, "Itachi, do you want some?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded immediately: "Mom, I want to eat."

Seeing the longing in Itachi's eyes, Kushina Uzumaki said, "Then go peel a grape for Daddy."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately ran to Yuzuru Uchiha's side, cleanly peeled a grape, and stuffed it into Yuzuru's mouth.

Seeing his impatient look, Garuda couldn't help but laugh and say, "Children are so cute."

Kushina Uzumaki chimed in, "That's right, she smells so milky, I can't help but get close enough to smell her every time I see her."

Hearing their conversation, Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow: "Since you two like children so much, how about I give you one each?"

Upon hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki and Karura rolled their eyes at Yuzuru Uchiha: "Yuzuru, Itachi is still here."

While eating the three-colored dumplings, Itachi mumbled, "Dad, I support you. I want a little brother!"

Yuzuru Uchiha patted Itachi Uchiha's head and said calmly, "The ninja world is not peaceful right now. After the war is over, I will grant your wish, okay?"

Itachi Uchiha smiled and nodded, then asked curiously, "Dad, what is war, and why is there war?"

Yuzuru Uchiha pinched Itachi Uchiha's cheek: "When you grow up, I'll tell you that for now, all you need to think about is eating, drinking, and having fun, understand?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded obediently: "I understand, Dad."

After saying that, she ran to the side to eat the three-colored dumplings.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha running around laughing in the courtyard, Yuzuru Uchiha stretched.

Judging by the time, Hiruzen Sarutobi should have seen his reply by now, right?

He couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and the others looking furious.

In the original story, these people were the ones who loved to scheme and point fingers at others from a moral high ground. Now that they've been thoroughly outmaneuvered by him, they're probably furious.

A moment later, Obito Uchiha's voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Yuzuru, are you home?"

"Kakashi and I want to discuss something with you!"

Chapter 108 Battlefield

Hearing Obito Uchiha's shouts from outside the door, Kushina Uzumaki went forward and opened the gate.

"Kushina-neechan".

Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake greeted them politely.

Kushina Uzumaki smiled and said, "Obito, we just bought some three-colored dumplings. You and Kakashi should go and eat them."

Upon hearing about the three-colored dumplings, Obito Uchiha's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled Kakashi into the yard.

Upon entering, Obito saw Itachi Uchiha happily eating three-colored dumplings, and immediately snatched the dumplings from Itachi's hand.

"Itachi, children shouldn't eat too many sweets."

After saying that, he finished Uchiha Itachi's three-colored dumplings in a few bites.

Uchiha Itachi pursed his lips, and his big eyes immediately became watery.

Seeing this, Mikoto Uchiha said helplessly, "Obito, there are still quite a few of the three-colored dumplings left. Don't bully Itachi."

Obito Uchiha chuckled a few times and said, "I was just teasing him."

After patting Itachi Uchiha's head, Obito Uchiha handed Itachi another string of three-colored dumplings.

Itachi Uchiha immediately smiled again: "Thank you, Obito-nii-san."

"Hee hee hee……"

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Uchiha Yuzuru asked, "Obito, what did you say you wanted to discuss with me?"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha remembered the purpose of his visit and immediately said, "Brother Yuzuru, Kakashi and I want to go to the battlefield to gain some experience."

Uchiha Yuzuru stipulated that only Uchiha clan members with the three-tomoe Sharingan were qualified to go to the battlefield.

Obito Uchiha only had two tomoe, so he had to stay in the village, which made him extremely depressed all the time.

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha's idea, Yuzuru Uchiha frowned: "War is not a child's game; people die from it."

"That's why Kakashi and I came to ask you for help." Obito Uchiha ran up to Yuzuru Uchiha and started peeling an apple for him. "Brother Yuzuru, if you become our captain, you can definitely guarantee our safety."

Kakashi Hatake then spoke up, "Yuzuru-senpai, my father has also agreed to let me gain some experience. This is the letter of request he wrote to you."

After thinking about it, Yuzuru Uchiha decided that it wouldn't hurt to let Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake get some experience, so he nodded in agreement.

He had been at home for a long time, so he could take the opportunity to go out and relax.

"Great!"

Seeing that Yuzuru Uchiha had agreed, Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake were both overjoyed.

As ninjas, they didn't want to be the kind of useless people who grew up in a greenhouse.

Obito Uchiha grabbed Kakashi Hatake and ran outside, saying, "Brother Yuzuru, let's go back and get ready. We'll come find you again tomorrow morning."

After they left, Itachi ran to Yuzuru Uchiha and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I want to see what the battlefield looks like too."

Yuzuru Uchiha slapped Itachi Uchiha on the butt.

"Don't think about so many messy things, kid. If you don't play for at least ten hours a day from now on, I'll beat you up."

Uchiha Itachi covered his butt and ran away.

Uchiha Yuzuru turned his attention to Uzumaki Kushina and Karura.

"You two heard it too, Itachi really wants to be the older brother, so we need to work hard on it."

Upon hearing this, Kushina and Karura lowered their heads and silently walked towards the room.

There's no way around it; spending every day with Itachi has made their maternal instincts overflow.

They also want a child that belongs to them alone.

When the sun was high in the sky, Uchiha Yuzuru came out of his room.

A short while later, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Shisui Uchiha arrived at the door.

Seeing the three of them fully prepared, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly said, "You will choose your own route this time. I will only be responsible for protecting your safety."

Obito Uchiha said confidently, "Don't worry, Yuzuru-nii, we've already made all the arrangements."

In order to kill the enemy on the battlefield, they did a lot of planning.

Now that they have a strong ally like Uchiha Yuzuru by their side, they have nothing to worry about.

After carefully cleaning up the traces of their journey, Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake each found a large tree to rest, just like Yuzuru Uchiha.

After leaving the Land of Lightning, they traveled through the Land of Iron to reach the Land of Fire, and then traveled from north to south.

Judging by the distance, they should be located directly east of Konoha Village.

"Brother Yuzuru, war is really cruel. Why do people have to kill each other?"

The initial excitement was gone from Obito Uchiha's eyes.

Along the way, they witnessed the tragedy of starvation and fought against Konoha's ninja teams.

The cruelty of war far exceeded his previous imagination.

Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "The distribution of resources in the ninja world is not even. The Land of Fire has unique geographical advantages, and the people living in the Land of Fire basically do not have to worry about survival."

"However, the land of wind is almost entirely desert, and many people have to carefully plan even when it comes to drinking water."

"When some people can waste things at will, while others cannot even guarantee their survival, war becomes inevitable."

Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake were all stunned for a moment, and then they began to think silently.
