Crossing to the Naruto World, Uchiha Tonan obtained the ‘Legacy Inheritance System’. As long as the people who acknowledged him died, he could inherit all abilities of the deceased. Therefore… “Konoha’s higher-ups mistreated the Uchihas. So, I’ve decided to lead the clan to launch a coup d’état after three years.” “Ding! Gained Uchiha clan’s acknowledgment.” Two years later. “Tonan

Konoha Hypocrite

Chapter 202

Late at night, in the dim yellow room.

Kakashi slowly opened his eyes and felt something moving under his armpit.

He immediately tilted his head and looked towards his armpit.

He saw Little Yan Bo facing his butt and sleeping soundly beside him.

The corners of Kakashi's mouth curled up slightly. He quietly got up and walked out of the room.

He saw that the warm orange chandelier was lit in the living room.

Uchiha Tunan was wearing an apron and walking out of the kitchen with rice.

"You're finally awake. Come and eat.

I made two side dishes in a hurry."

Kakashi nodded blankly and sat down at the table.

There were already four dishes and a soup on the table. The aroma was overflowing, and the dishes made one's appetite increase.

Kakashi picked up the chopsticks and hesitated for a moment. "I… did I succeed?"

Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "The effect is very good."

Only then did Kakashi notice that Uchiha Tunan's face was deathly pale. He could not help but frown. "What's wrong with your face?"

Uchiha Tunan was silent for a moment and then said in a relaxed tone, "This secret technique will extract my origin and pour it into your body, so…"

Kakashi understood in a flash.

Sure enough, this secret technique that can stimulate the potential of the human body is not without a price.

The origin that Tunan mentioned should be very important to the human body.

The reason why Tunan did not say it before was that he was afraid that he would not accept it after he said it.

Thinking of this, Kakashi looked at Uchiha Tunan with a touched face and said in a deep voice, "Tunan, thank you."

A trace of a smile appeared on Uchiha Tunan's pale face. "No need to thank me. The side effects of this secret technique are not particularly serious. I will be fine after a while."

"Wow!"

At this moment,

Little Yan's cries rang out in the bedroom.

Uchiha Tunan quickly put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands on the apron.

He untied the apron and put it aside as he walked quickly into the bedroom.

Soon, Little Yan Bo's cheerful laughter rang out in the bedroom.

Uchiha Tunan carried Little Yan Bo out of the bedroom and sat down at the dining table. He said to Kakashi,

"You have to prepare for Chuunin's exam in the next few days. Leave Yan Bo to me.

"I will be going out to carry out a mission in a while. When the time comes, You can leave him to me."

Kakashi nodded heavily and said, "No problem. Right, what mission are you going to carry out? Is it dangerous?"

After the secret technique just now, Uchiha Tunan's face was already ugly to look at. His body must have suffered a great injury.

In such a situation, he still had to carry out a mission. Kakashi was afraid that Uchiha Tunan would not be able to handle it.

Uchiha Tunan shook his head with a smile and said, "There is no danger. It is just a competition held by the Daimyo."

When Kakashi heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

He picked up a mouthful of food with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"Woo!"

Kakashi's eyes widened and the expression on his face gradually became exaggerated.

It was too delicious…

Late at night.

Uchiha Tunan carried the sleeping Little Yan and left the Hatake Family house, walking towards Uchiha's home.

Because only a few days had passed since the new year, and Chuunin's competition was about to begin.

The commercial street was still bustling with people and lights.

Uchiha Tunan had just arrived at the commercial street.

At the end of the street, Jounin Tadou, the leader of Sunagakure who came out by himself, was stunned.

He quickly ate the last bit of ramen in his bowl, got up, and left.

After walking out of the noodle house, Tadou stretched and looked at the calm and composed Uchiha Tunan from the corner of his eye.

Is this Uchiha Tunan who is going to participate in the honorary Chuunin competition? He looks ordinary, isn't he just an ordinary teenager?

Those ignorant villagers also boasted that he had the power to surpass the three ninjas.

Tadou was recalling the information he had heard about Uchiha Tunan from those villagers during the day.

Kindhearted, brave, fearless of power, loyal and righteous.

Strange shaped eyes, can summon a huge Buddha, can chant the scripture to transcend the souls of the dead.

What kind of strange information is this? Those villagers must have been hit by an illusion.

But at this moment, Uchiha Tunan was already approaching. Tadou and no longer stayed, turning around and walking slowly into the distance.

This direction was the direction of Uchiha's clan, and it was also the residence that Konoha had arranged for the participating teams of Sunagakure.

Tadou's footsteps were very slow, as if he was waiting for Uchiha Tunan behind him.

The Anbu, who was secretly monitoring the the complex, also saw Uchiha Tunan.

But there was no reaction.

After all, Uchiha Tunan was much stronger than them.

Even if Tadou wanted to harm Uchiha Tunan in the Sand Village, he could only say that he was courting death.

With his hands in his pockets, he walked slowly, and even hummed a song.

Gradually, Tadou walked to a fork in the road.

A road led to the residence of Tadou, and a road led to Uchiha's clan.

The shops near the fork were all breakfast shops, so the door was closed at this time, and there were no pedestrians nearby.

Tadou did not go to the road where he lived, but kept walking straight to the direction of Uchiha's clan.

Seeing this, the dark operation in the dark perked up.

After Tadou took a few steps, he suddenly stopped in place and exclaimed with a face full of regret,

"Oh no, I went the wrong way.

I still have to explain the tactics to them."

After saying that, Tadou turned around and took out his hands from his pockets. He turned around and ran to another road.

The moment Tadou took out his hands, he took out a metal necklace and dropped it on the ground.

However, as if he did not know anything, Tadou hurriedly brushed past Uchiha Tunan who was walking towards him.

After Uchiha Tunan ran past Tadou, a scarlet light flashed in his eyes. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He carried the sleeping Little Yanbo to the metal necklace and stepped on it.

"What is it?"

Uchiha Tunan pretended to be surprised, moved his feet away, and then bent over to pick up the necklace.

He saw that this necklace was extremely exquisite, and it was suffused with a shiny metallic luster.

Uchiha Tunan pinched it slightly, and he could even feel that the texture of this metal was a little soft.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing about this necklace was the sky-blue gem in the middle. It was obvious at a glance that it was priceless.

"Finders keepers, I guess."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled, put the necklace into the ninja bag, and continued to walk towards Uchiha's territory.

Seeing that Uchiha Tunan had accepted the necklace, the Dark Group, who had been secretly staying here, no longer had the mood to stay, and quietly left.

After all, this was the remnant of an international friend in Konoha.

If not for a heavyweight like Uchiha Tunan who picked it up.

The Anbu would definitely give it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this time, Tadou was running towards the residence under the eyes of the Anbu.

However, he was secretly proud of himself.

As expected of Lord Kazekage, he could actually think of such a powerful assassination technique.

Even if this little brat Uchiha really had the strength to rival the three ninjas, he probably wouldn't even be able to get out of bed in two months.

Little brat, let Sunagakure teach you a lesson and let you understand what a ninja is.

When Uchiha Tunan returned home, he put the sleeping Little Yan Bo on the bedroom bed to rest.

Then he went to the living room alone and made himself a pot of tea.

While drinking tea, he took out the necklace in the ninja backpack and looked at it.

It's so beautiful.

The gems produced from Suna were worth two million.

No, it should be ten million now.

For ordinary Chuunin, it was indeed a great temptation.

Uchiha Tunan murmured. He casually pulled off the gems on the necklace and threw it aside with a look of disgust.

Immediately, he opened his Sharingan and observed the metal necklace.

Uchiha Tunan's Sharingan had fused with the ability of Byakugan, and the range of the light was even wider.

In the eyes of Uchiha Tunan, this necklace was simply like the sun in the sky, emitting a blazing white light.

"The technology of the Ninja Realm can already refine such a strong radiation metal?

It seems that this radiation is very targeted.

It can even cause the cells in my body to overload and extract Chakra.

I feel that if this goes on, with my physique, I will be squeezed dry in half a year."

Uchiha Tunan was not an ignorant ordinary ninja.

Every once in a while in the Fire City, several civilians who were ignorant die.

The civilians who could live in the Fire Capital were all elites from all walks of life.

This also caused Uchiha Tunan to unknowingly become more and more knowledgeable.

Uchiha Tunan picked up the cup and leisurely took a sip of tea, muttering,

Because the strength of the cells is limited, it only has an hour of effective time to extract chakra every day.

Over this time, under the effect of the self-protection mechanism, the cells will instinctively rest.

If you forcibly break this self-protection mechanism with a secret technique,

People will rapidly age.

However, the radiation effect of this necklace was actually able to shield a person's own protective mechanism.

Moreover, it allowed the cells to refine their own Chakra at all times.

What a good thing.

In fact, the metal used by this necklace was refined by the 3rd Raikage using a lot of resources and time to refine it.

At first, the third Kazekage discovered that this necklace could allow people to quickly refine and inspect their carats. He thought it was a treasure.

But later, he found that ordinary people would age and die after wearing this necklace for about a week.

People with strong strength could only resist for a period of time.

Although there was more Chakra, the body was rapidly aging and dying every day. It was really not worth it.

This time, the Honorary Chuunin event was of great importance. The 3rd Kazekage targeted Konoha's participant Uchiha Tunan.

In order to prevent Uchiha Tunan from picking up the necklace and handing it over to the village, the 3rd Kazekage thought that everyone was greedy and specially decorated a priceless gem on the necklace.

As long as Uchiha Tunan picked up the necklace, he would find that it could increase his Chakra.

He believed that no ninja could refuse such a fatal temptation.

However, the only miscalculationof the third generation Kazekage was that not only did Uchiha Tunan see the essence of the necklace at a glance, but his body had also been modified by soft body, and his cell activity was far better than that of ordinary people.

Even if Uchiha Tunan did not see that there was a problem with the necklace, he would not die even if he wore it for half a year.

And now, Uchiha Tunan naturally would not let go of such a good thing.

Although he checked the amount of chakra he had, it was comparable to a shadow level expert, but chakra would never be too much.

In the quiet living room, Uchiha Tunan finished the tea in one gulp and gently put down the teacup.

He could start eating now.

Then, he quickly made a series of hand seals and slapped the ground.

Saruten, who was covered in golden hair, stood in front of Uchiha Tunan. He looked around and asked in confusion, "Tunan, why are you looking for me?"

Uchiha Tunan smiled gently and pointed to the opposite side. "I haven't seen you in a long time. Today, I will ask about your cultivation. Sit down."

Saruten nodded and sat opposite Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan picked up a new teacup and poured tea into it. He asked, "Is there any problem with your cultivation recently? Does the transformation of the soft body affect you?"

"Tunan, the secret technique you taught me is so compatible with the Unbreakable Diamond." Saruten suddenly said with an excited face.

"Do you know that although my body is not as tough as my fellow clansmen, every time I practice it to the end, it is always them who can't hold on.

Lord Enma asked me several questions about secret arts, but I didn't tell him."

Uchiha Tunan sipped his tea and said slowly, "Did Lord Enma say bad things about me in front of you?"

Ads by Pubfuture

"This…" Saruten, this honest child, was suddenly speechless.

How could Uchiha Tunan not know what Hiruzen Sarutobi must have said to the Enma?

He immediately said with a casual face, "It doesn't matter. I just asked casually."

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan put down the teapot and gently placed his hands on his knees. He did not look at Saruten and just quietly watched his teacup.

The power of silence was strong.

Especially for people who lacked patience, it was simply unbearable.

Saruten kept scratching his ears and cheeks. His emotions were flying. He hesitated for a long time before he said with a troubled expression,

"During this period of time, Lord Enma said a lot of strange things.

He also asked me to protect myself more when I help you fight. Don't foolishly rush to the front. "

Uchiha Tunan lowered his eyes and chuckled. He said slowly, "It seems that the misunderstanding between me and Teacher Yuan Fei has already involved the ape clan."

Saruten pursed his lips and said, "Lord Enma also told me that it is possible that he will smear your name on the spirit contract.

I asked Lord Enma the reason, but he did not say it.

Tunan, what kind of misunderstanding do you have with Lord Yuan Fei?"

Uchiha Tunan raised his eyes to look at Saruten, who was worried, and changed the topic. "Do you still need to borrow external items to cultivate your Unbreakable Diamond?"

Saruten was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Uchiha Tunan to change the topic so quickly. He scratched the back of his head and said,

"Ah?

No need. I only need to sit there and cultivate every day.

It's just that my talent is indeed a bit lacking. Even with the secret technique you taught me, my cultivation speed can only be considered average.

Oh right, you still haven't told me what the misunderstanding between you and Lord Yuan Fei is.

Let me help you think about how to resolve the misunderstanding."

Uchiha Tunan sized up Saruten from head to toe for a long time. He then picked up the tea cup on the table and said,

"You can't help this misunderstanding, but there are some places where you and I can help each other."

Saruten was puzzled. "What place?"

"You said that your talent is poor, so your cultivation speed is not good.

It just so happens that my talent is not bad. In the future, I will help you cultivate."

Uchiha Tunan looked calm, lowering his head and blowing the tea leaves floating in the tea.

Saruten was a little confused and did not quite understand what Uchiha Tunan meant.

The only thing he understood was that Uchiha Tunan seemed to want to help him.

He was immediately moved and said, "Thank you so much, Tunan. You treat me so well that I don't know how to repay you."

Uchiha Tunan lowered his head and gently blew on the tea, but the teacup reflected Uchiha Tunan's slowly spinning Mangekyou.

In the empty living room, Uchiha Tunan's low voice sounded.

"You are the best repayment to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tunan secretly detonated the curse seal in Saruten's mind.

"Bang!"

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out.

At the same time, in Uchiha Tunan's special senses.

On Saruten's corpse, a pure white soul was pulled up by a great force.

"What is going on, Tunan!

What exactly happened? It hurts so much. "

The tearing sensation of the soul could not be compared to physical pain.

It was mainly because Saruten's body was too strong, and he had just died. His body activity had not disappeared, and he still had a strong binding force on the soul.

Uchiha Tunan glanced indifferently at the struggling Saruten Soul. He sipped his tea and said with great interest,

"The stronger the body, the stronger the binding force on the soul."

I've gained a lot of knowledge.

"Ah… it hurts… save me!"

"Tunan, what are you doing?"

"Quickly… quickly please take me back!"

"I beg you, let me go!"

"I am very obedient!"

Uchiha Tunan took a sip of tea and said with a sad face,

"I am so good to you. But you always answer my questions in a secretive manner.

You make me feel that my kindness is not good.

I am really disappointed.

I am very disappointed…"

It was as if Uchiha Tunan was the victim.

"Tunan!"

"Ah!"

"Kii… kiiiii.."

Saruten even let out a monkey-like scream, and his soul was completely pulled out.

In the end, under the effect of the Shuten Dojutsu, Saruten's soul was sucked into Uchiha Tunan's eyes.

Uchiha Tunan only felt a sense of comfort emerge from the depths of his soul, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

A moment later, the sense of comfort disappeared, and only then did Uchiha Tunan gently put down the teacup and let out a long sigh.

"Who told you to hesitate just now?"

At this time, Uchiha Tunan suddenly felt a strange change in his body. It was as if there was a muffled thunder in his body, and his entire body crackled non-stop.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face as he quietly waited for his body to transform on its own.

After five minutes, Uchiha Tunan opened his eyes, and his entire body seemed to have become stiff and motionless.

"Ka…"

Uchiha Tunan's body seemed to have turned into porcelain, and cracks spread from the top of his head to his entire body.

Gradually, more and more cracks appeared, becoming denser and denser. The entire surface of his body was like a spider web.

"Bang!"

A huge wave of air exploded, and the furniture in the room was instantly overturned by the strong airflow.

Pieces of debris shot out from Uchiha Tunan's body.

These pieces were harder than the Kunai and instantly smashed the furniture that was sent flying into pieces.

The remaining pieces were deeply inserted into the walls, the ground, the ceiling, and the pillars.

"Waaaaa —"

In the bedroom in the front yard, Little Yan's crying sounded.

It was obvious that he had been woken up by the commotion just now.

But at this time, Uchiha Tunan was too lazy to care about Little Yan Bo's crying.

Uchiha Tunan could feel that there was a huge change in his body. The feeling this body gave him was very different from before.

"It's really good."

The naked Uchiha Tunan twisted his neck and muttered.

Then, he stretched out his right hand and looked at his palm with a look of infatuation.

His skin was as smooth as jade, his palm was as solid as jade, and his fingers were as fine as spring onion.

After the process of "shedding skin", the skin on his entire body seemed to be broken by a breeze, like a newborn baby.

At this time, four words appeared in Uchiha Tunan's mind: Reborn.

Originally, after Uchiha Tunan learned the transformation of the soft body, his skin color was a bit abnormal.

However, he did not expect that after combining the Unbreakable Diamond, it became so natural.

After admiring it for a moment, Uchiha Tunan suddenly clenched his right hand.

"Bang!"

A deafening sonic boom rang out.

Uchiha Tunan's pupils constricted, and a look of great surprise appeared on his face.

What a strong body, and this was not the limit.

After obtaining Saruten's inheritance, it naturally included the cultivation method of Unbreakable Diamond.

The current Uchiha Tunan could completely absorb the power of nature on his own to temper his body.

If he continued to cultivate, then the strength of this body would reach a terrifying level.

At that time, perhaps nothing would be able to hurt him.

Uchiha Tunan, who was naked, reached out to pick up the necklace on the table and put it on his neck.

Now his body was already strong to an inhuman level.

The cells in the body are refining Chakra day and night, and it may take twenty or thirty years for Uchiha Tunan to age and die.

But don't forget, Uchiha Tunan himself also cultivated the Unbreakable Diamond, thus increasing his body strength.

At that time, the time would be extended. It would not take long, as long as there were no problems with the body for twenty years.

At that time, when the war began, Uchiha Tunan probably already possessed the power of six paths.

A mere radiation would not be of any use in front of the power of six paths.

After thinking about it, Uchiha Tunan got up and walked towards the bedroom.

He went to the bedroom and did not hug Little Yan Bo who was crying.

When Little Yan Bo saw Uchiha Tunan, he stopped crying for a while and then started crying again.

But Uchiha Tunan ignored this and went straight to the wardrobe.

He first changed into a new set of clothes and looked at it in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, the outline of Uchiha Tunan's appearance did not change, but his skin was like an egg that had just been peeled off. It was smooth, white, and very elastic.

Together with the silvery-white radiation necklace hanging around his neck.

His entire temperament seemed to have undergone an unknown change.

"It's very cool, isn't it?"

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth curled up slightly. He was very satisfied with the current state of his body.

However, the sound of Little Yan Bo's crying echoed beside his ears. He turned around to look at Little Yan Bo and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Little Yan Bo's eyelids immediately rolled up and he fell asleep.

Immediately, Uchiha Tunan's low voice sounded in the bedroom.

"Really, a mere pet dares to behave atrociously in my head.

But, still, I have to thank you properly."

With that, the lights in the bedroom went out.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and there was no moonlight or starlight.

The sky was thick black, almost a color of despair.

The street lamps could only illuminate a small area below.

The street lamps broke the darkness into several pieces.

Outside the residence that Konoha had specifically arranged for the Sand Village, several Anbu were hiding in the shade of trees, constantly monitoring them.

"Step, step, step…"

The crisp and rhythmic footsteps came from the darkness at the end of the street.

The Anbu raised their guard and looked over.

Report chapter Comments

Soon, Uchiha Tunan, who was wearing a black trench coat, walked into the illumination range of the street lamps from the darkness.

Uchiha Tunan ignored the gazes in the dark and went straight to the residence of the Sunagakure team.

Shua —

A Dark Group member used the Instant Movement Technique to block Uchiha Tunan's path.

"This is the resting place of the team from the Sunagalure. No random people are allowed in."

Uchiha Tunan raised his eyes slightly and looked at him indifferently.

For some reason, the Dark Group felt a chill run up its spine, and all the hair on its body trembled as if it was being stared at by some kind of danger.

For a moment, it subconsciously held its breath.

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth slowly curved into a gentle smile. He reached out and patted the shoulders of the Dark Group, saying,

"I picked up the valuable items that they dropped and specially came to return them.

I won't make it difficult for you and only go in for a while, ok? "

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan's smile did not diminish as he brushed past the Dark Group.

As for the Dark Group member, he was already sweating profusely and could not move his legs. How could he stop Uchiha Tunan?

When the other Dark Group members saw Uchiha Tunan speak to his partner humbly, they let him go.

Naturally, they would not go forward to ask more questions.

However, they kept their eyes on Uchiha Tunan to prevent anything from happening.

It was not until Uchiha Tunan almost reached the building where Sunagakure was resting.

The other members of the Dark Group realized that something was wrong with their companions.

A member of the Dark Group came out from the darkness and brought his companion into the shade of the tree. He asked,

"What happened to you? Did you fall for that guy's illusion?"

The companion squatted and took a few deep breaths, shaking his head and saying, "It's not an illusion, it's a very strange feeling.

Just like… when I was facing Orochimaru sama before."

The house of the Sunagakure was a two-story hotel.

It was temporarily reserved by Konoha.

Uchiha Tunan seemed to be very familiar with this place and went straight to the second floor.

"Step, step, step…"

There were terrifying footsteps in the corridor.

The members of the Suna ninja in the hotel were awakened by the footsteps.

The three participating Genins hid under the window and were on guard.

Uchiha Tunan went straight to the room of Tadou and knocked on the door.

Tadou was much more courageous than the three Genins.

Knowing that this was Konoha, no one would attack him at night.

He opened the door naturally.

However, when the door was opened, Tadou, who was drunk, was slightly stunned. He pretended to be calm and said, "May I know who you are?"

Uchiha Tunan smiled and reached out to shake the radiation chain around his neck. At the same time, he took out the sky blue gem from his ninja bag and said,

"Sure enough, I didn't remember wrongly. This necklace was dropped by you, right?

It was just that I was a little careless when I took it and took the gemstone off.

This thing looks quite precious. You must be very anxious."

Tadou never expected that Uchiha Tunan would actually be able to resist his greed and return the necklace.

Damn it…

How could this guy have such a good character?

Was he going to fail?

Tadou forced a smile and suddenly noticed that Uchiha Tunan had put the necklace around his neck.

Then it meant that he had probably discovered that the necklace could help him extract chakra.

He immediately said with a grateful face, "Oh, I was saying that I couldn't find it after searching for half a day. It turned out that it fell on the road."

"I didn't say I picked it up on the road." Uchiha Tunan said with a blank face, like a silly boy who knew nothing about the world.

Tadou, who was drunk, was stunned for a moment and said with an embarrassed smile,

"Uh… haha… Anyway, it's not like we will drop into a noodle restaurant on the way.

I really appreciate it very much.

This gem is very precious. I spent a lot of money to buy it.

In order to thank you, this necklace is for you.

I will only take back the gem."

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes and stared into the eyes of Tadou, "How can I accept this?"

Although he spoke politely, his hands did not move at all.

"Uh…"

Tadou was slightly stunned. He shook his head and said with a smile,

"Of course. You should be rewarded for your actions. Please don't decline, or I will feel uneasy."

Uchiha Tunan said reluctantly, "Well then, I won't disturb your rest."

After that, he turned around and left the room of Tadou.

On the corridor, the three Suna Genins heard the conversation and knew that there was no danger, so they gathered together.

When they saw Uchiha Tunan, who was about the same age as them, walking towards them, they all stared at him.

Uchiha Tunan nodded calmly at the three of them and smiled. "Hello."

Then, he passed through them.

After a few breaths, the three of them came back to their senses and came to the room where Tadou was.

"Teacher Tadou, what is that guy doing here?"

"He is here to return the gemstone."

He saw Tadou, who was sitting in front of the table, staring at the gem in his hand in a daze.

"What gem? Teacher Tadou, you still have this?"

The three of them surrounded him in unison. Their faces revealed an infatuated expression as they said,

"Let me see. It's so beautiful."

"Don't touch it. Be careful, don't break it."

"So beautiful…"

At some point in time, the gem in his hand had been taken by his subordinates and they were admiring it together.

At this time, Tadou seemed to be in a trance. He gradually shifted his gaze to the gem and muttered,

"Gem… Give me back my gem."

A Genin immediately held the gem in his arms, muttering, "No, the gem is mine."

"The gem is mine. I just touched it." The other Genin quickly went to snatch it.

"Pa!"

Someone slipped his hand, and when the gemstone was being snatched, it fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

Tadou, who was like a mad demon, roared, "My gem is worth tens of millions!"

The Dark Group outside the residence naturally heard the voice coming from inside and could not help but frown.

"Pu —"

A blood stain was splashed on the window.

"Oh no, something has happened."

The Dark Group moved out one after another and rushed to the room.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan had already walked under the street lamp. After hearing the movement behind him, he looked back indifferently and shook his head with a chuckle.

"People die for money and birds die for food."

At this moment, the Dark Group that blocked Uchiha Tunan appeared again, blocking in front of Uchiha Tunan, and said in a low voice,

"Lord Tunan, you can't leave yet."

Uchiha Tunan raised his eyebrows, a little speechless at this young man, and said slowly,

"If there is anything, you can ask the Hokage sama to come to me and learn to be smart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tunan's figure disappeared without a trace.

So fast!

The pupils of the Dark Group contracted, and they looked around, but they could not even see the shadow of Uchiha Tunan.

In the end, they could only bite the bullet and go to the Sarutobi Clan to report the situation here to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Uchiha Tunan believed himself to be a gentleman and had a standard conduct of conduct.

As the saying goes, return good for evil and repay good for good.

Uchiha Tunan wasn't someone who was tricked and didn't even dare to fart.

Of course, everything had to have a double standard.

If it were forthe kind of enemy with value and strength, then it would be like taking a step back to the wide open sky.

Since the war was about to start anyway, so what if Sunagakure knew that he was the one who did it?

At most, he would put pressure on Konoha.

And Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't move him.

He had endured humiliation and suffering for so long, and finally obtained enough strength.

It wasn't to let the trash Ninja with low strength ride on his head and act like he was a tyrant.

After returning home, Uchiha Tunan tidied up the living room and put Saruten's corpse into the storage scroll, hiding it in the basement.

There was no other way. After all, Saruten's body was too hard, and ordinary methods of dealing with corpses were completely useless.

The following days were peaceful.

There was no news from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He seemed to have suppressed the matter of the Sunagakure team.

He didn't even ask about Saruten.

Uchiha Tunan was also happy and idle. He went to see the reconstruction of the welfare home every day and went to the orphanage to comfort the lonely old man.

Other times, he basically stayed at home alone to absorb the Force of Nature.

When the emotional power in his body was insufficient to absorb more of the natural power.

Uchiha Tunan would then open the Mangekyou and use the Tamamo Eye Technique to secretly absorb the negative emotions of those clansmen in Uchiha's clan territory.

Part of the natural power was stored in his body and fused with his own chakra to become immortal chakra.

Part of it would spread throughout his body to strengthen the cells of his body, and the cultivation of Unbreakable Diamond wouldn't be bad.

It had to be said that Uchiha Tunan felt that he seemed to have become a cultivator.

In the finals of Chuunin's exam, Uchiha Tunan did not go, but stayed at home alone to accumulate strength.

In the end, Minato and others came to Uchiha's territory and pulled Uchiha Tunan out to celebrate Kakashi and Obito becoming Chuunin.

As expected, Kakashi won the championship.

After being planted with the Curse Mark, Obito's talent increased, and he made it all the way to the top twelve. In the end, he was defeated by Ibiki.

From everyone's discussion, Uchiha Tunan heard that Obito lost in his mind, and was defeated by Ibiki.

For those who have already gained recognition, Uchiha Tunan does not need to deliberately disguise to gain their trust and affection.

After possessing the Unbreakable Diamond Physique, Uchiha Tunan knew how to proceed.

He no longer needed to act carefully.

As long as the human setting does not collapse on a large scale, he can completely release his nature and push it all the way to the start of the fourth battle.

Of course, at the critical moment, he still needed to plan a little more.

While ensuring that he would profit, he also needed to ensure that the plot could develop smoothly and not leave his control.

After the dinner, Uchiha Tunan handed over the small talk to Kakashi.

He also told them that he was going to participate in the honorary Chuunin competition next month and that he needed to prepare well.

In the following period of time.

The closer it was to the day of departure, the more Uchiha Tunan felt that the atmosphere in Konoha had become more and more depressing.

It was as if something had reached a critical point and was about to explode.

Boom —

In the early morning, the sky was covered in dense clouds, and lightning was like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue, cutting through the haze in the sky.

The rain turned into threads, and they flowed down like a white silk.

The rustling of leaves in the wind and rain matched the rhythm of the rain, sometimes heavy and sometimes soothing.

Uchiha Tunan woke up from his meditation, unhurriedly put tea in the teapot, and then put it on the stove to cook.

He went to the bedroom and changed into a brand new loose shirt, and hung Kusanagi Sword diagonally behind his waist.

He took off his glasses, wiped them with a sigh, and put them back on.

Then, he began to tidy up the ninja bags and put the things that could be used into the storage scroll. He stuffed them into the ninja bags.

After he was done, Uchiha Tunan lit three incense sticks for the wooden sculptures on the altar.

Finally, he picked up the teapot, and sat down under the eaves.

While drinking tea, he quietly watched the rain fall from the sky.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Tunan's ears twitched slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

After several seconds, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

Uchiha Tunan took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. "Please come in."

A member of the Dark Group braved the heavy rain, stood in front of the eaves, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Tunan, the Hokage Sama has invited you."

Uchiha Tunan nodded slightly, got up, and went back to his room to take out an umbrella.

Just like this, he held the umbrella and walked toward the Hokage building.

An hour later, Uchiha Tunan walked into the office with an umbrella.

As soon as he entered, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting in front of the table, looking at him with cold eyes.

Uchiha Tunan walked to Hiruzen Sarutobi without looking at him.

The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became serious.

After a long time, Uchiha Tunan lowered his eyes slightly and saw the task certificate that had already been stamped on the table.

He reached out to take the task certificate without hesitation.

However, just as Uchiha Tunan's hand touched the task certificate, Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out and pressed Uchiha Tunan's hand down.

"I admit that there were some things that I didn't do before, so it chilled your heart.

The matter of Saruten, the matter of Suna Village, and even many things that I do not know, I can let bygones be bygones.

If you still recognize me as your teacher, then leave the team of Danzo as soon as possible."

Uchiha Tunan said indifferently, "I don't care what struggles the higher-ups have, I only firmly stand on the side of justice.

Hokage sama, I personally think that Danzo san knows more about the will of fire than you do."

Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly snorted and said with deep eyes, "At this time, are you still pretending to be confused?

I admit that there are many ugly things in the depths of Konoha, but this is unavoidable.

You also know that you are involved. "

"I have always been very clear. I also know what I want."

Uchiha Tunan struggled to free his hand and put the task certificate into his ninja bag. Then, he turned around and left.

Behind him, Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the pipe, lit the cigarette and took a puff. He narrowed his eyes and said,

"Do I still have a chance?"

Uchiha Tunan paused for a moment and strode out of the office.

At the boundary of the village entrance, Danzo had been waiting there for a long time.

"Step, step, step…"

Footsteps came from the streets.

Danzo's eyes narrowed.

Soon, Uchiha Tunan appeared on the street and walked to Danzo.

Danzo looked Uchiha Tunan up and down and said with a serious face:

"You can not go. Now Fire Capital is more dangerous than before.

As long as you can resist the gossip for a period of time, with my protection, Hiruzen Sarutobi can't do anything to you.

After all, Konoha can't afford to lose any high-end forces."

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth slightly curved, and he chuckled.

"I didn't go because I was arrogant.

It's just that I don't like to break the rules.

There are some things that have to be solved sooner or later, right?"

After saying that, he walked past Danzo and walked towards the entrance of the barrier.

"Don't be impulsive. Once you do something, the whole world will be your enemy."

Danzo warned from behind.

Uchiha Tunan stopped and said in a low voice:

"I said, I don't like to break the rules."

With that, Uchiha Tunan stepped out of the Konoha barrier.

Two days later, on the plains near the capital of fire.

The white clouds in the sky were like sails that floated in the sky.

The warm south wind blew over slowly, bringing with it the fresh smell of spring soil.

The pitch-black steam train slowly drove through the wild.

Uchiha Tunan sat in the carriage, wearing a cap, writing and drawing on the drawing board.

Opposite them sat a couple and a little girl. It was obviously a family of three.

The little girl had a face stuffed with candy and was standing on the seat. Her hands were on the table and she looked curiously at the drawing board in front of Uchiha Tunan.

In the deafening roar of the train, Uchiha Tunan's painting was finally completed.

"This is for you." Uchiha Tunan smiled gently at the little girl, took off the painting paper, and handed it over.

The little girl did not recognize strangers. Her pink little hand grabbed the painting paper and sat back in her seat. Her eyes were curved with a smile.

The woman beside him said softly, "Hurry up and thank uncle."

"Thank you, uncle." The little girl called out sweetly. Then, she pointed at the person in the painting and said, "This is me."

Uchiha Tunan did not take offense at the little girl's address. After all, his body had developed a little earlier than his peers.

In addition, his physique had recently been greatly enhanced, causing his height to rise sharply. He looked a little older than he truly is.

The middle-aged man who was leaning against the aisle opened his eyes and looked sideways at the drawing paper in the little girl's hand.

He saw that the drawing on this drawing was the appearance of a little girl holding the table and looking around curiously. The drawing was so vivid that it was like taking a photo.

The middle-aged man could not help but praise, "The drawing is really good. Are you a painter?"

Uchiha Tunan leaned back in his seat, holding the drawing board in one hand and turning the pen in the other. He shook his head and said,

"No, I am a Konoha Ninja who protects the country. Drawing is just an amateur hobby. I just started to learn it."

The man heard this,

Immediately, a respectful expression appeared on his face, "So you're lord Ninja."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and said lightly, "Please don't call me that. Class doesn't distinguish between high and low."

But when he heard that Uchiha Tunan was a Ninja, the man obviously wanted to curry favor with him and coughed lightly,

"Actually, I also wanted to make Keiko a Ninja, but unfortunately, she didn't have the talent."

Uchiha Tunan looked at the scenery outside the window, and the pen in his hand began to move on the drawing board. He said slowly,

"In order to achieve the leap of class, unless the talent and effort are far beyond that of ordinary people, most of them still need generations of accumulation.

There are so many Genin in Konoha, and it is difficult for many Genin to even raise their families in order to carry out missions.

Why are they still unwilling to give up their identity as Ninjas?

Many still wanted to pave the way for the next generation.

There were too many benefits in connections, resources, and knowledge.

In some small families, every Genin was the hope of the family.

They were all children, and the children in Konoha, from medicinal baths to food, were different from the children outside.

They were even able to learn basic chakra training from their parents when they were very young. They were ahead of ordinary people from the starting line."

The man sighed and touched the little girl's head.

"Who doesn't know about these things? But it is too difficult to settle down in Konoha. It is not something that ordinary families like us can afford."

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes and said slowly,

"The future will change. In the end, no talent will be buried in this world."

The man naturally did not believe Uchiha Tunan's words, but he still nodded and said,

"I wonder if you are Konoha's Genin or Chuunin?"

Uchiha Tunan lowered his head and carefully outlined the lines on the painting. He said lightly,

"Those things does not have much meaning to me.

Because that is not my goal."

The man had already reached into his pocket and seemed to be groping for something.

"Then what is your goal? Can we talk?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Tunan frowned slightly and said,

"It's hard to say. If you think about it carefully, there are many goals.

If you really want to talk about a final goal.

That is… "

As he spoke, Uchiha Tunan turned his head to look at the sky outside the window and slowly said,

"I want only the sky above my head."

The man was slightly stunned. He smiled and said,

"It's a bit hard to understand when big shots like you speak."

Then, he took out a business card from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Uchiha Tunan.

"I'm in the business of medicinal herbs. The origin is directly in the Fire Capital.

If your family needs it, you can send someone to take a look. The price is negotiable."

Although this person basically wouldn't have any dealings with him in the future, he still had to have at least respect.

Uchiha Tunan nodded slightly and took the business card out of courtesy. After glancing at it, he put the business card into the ninja bag.

The speed of the steam train was very slow, not much faster than a normal person walking.

Uchiha Tunan only saw it by chance and came up to take a look.

The train in the ninja world had been developed long ago, but it had always been relatively slow and not popular.

But from the looks of it now, Naraku seemed to be a good student who concentrated on listening.

He had always remembered Uchiha Tunan's teachings of wanting to become rich and build roads first.

There were not many passengers in the steam train, and 99 of them were merchants and accompanying guards.

Their goods were in the carriages behind.

The only advantage of the steam train was that the transport was large, and it was better than the traditional horse transportation.

Of course, it was useless for ninjas.

A Genin carrying a storage scroll was faster than any other way of transportation.

Suddenly, a white pigeon flew in from outside the window and landed on Uchiha Tunan's drawing board. "Coo!"

Uchiha Tunan reached out and patted the white pigeon gently. He smiled and said, "There is no need to remind me of such a small matter."

The white pigeon flapped its wings as if it was protesting that Uchiha Tunan was not treat it well.

Finally, it turned its head and jumped onto the table. It picked up a candy from a little girl and flew out of the window.

Uchiha Tunan saw the little girl looking at him with innocent big eyes, looking like she wanted to cry but did not dare to.

He immediately gave the little girl an apologetic look.

Then he activated the wind whisper.

He heard the roar of the train, the conversation of the passengers, the sound of the wind, the sound of insects crawling, a series of running sounds.

"It seems that there is a little trouble." Uchiha Tunan gently put down the drawing board and shook his head with a smile.

At this moment, the iron gate in front of the carriage was opened, and the conductor, who was wearing special clothes, said with a serious face,

"All alert, there is suspected to be a wandering ninja blocking the way."

Uchiha Tunan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had never thought that this guy would actually come to open the train.

"Damn it! How did I encounter such a thing?"

"What should I do? Can we defeat them?"

"This batch of goods, I bet everything on it."

……

Uchiha Tunan looked at the panic-stricken faces of the passengers and could not help but rub his chin.

He had always maintained a clear sense of self-positioning.

He was definitely not the protagonist. If he was right, he should be the biggest villain boss in the whole world in the future.

If the whole car knew that there was such a big villain sitting in the car, would they feel safer or more dangerous?

At this time, the train gradually moved to the foot of a hill.

The hill was green and full of colorful plants, which was pleasing to the eyes.

On the rocks and trunks of the railway, a group of wandering Ninjas stood on it and watched the train slowly approaching with a sneer.

They were not afraid that someone would jump off the train and escape.

After all, people died for money and birds died for food. There were a lot of supplies in the car.

Most people would probably think that they were lucky and think that they could pass as long as they handed over the cash.

As long as the goods were kept, they would not lose anything this time.

As for life.

That thing was not expensive.

When the train arrived in front of the wandering Ninja, a group of wandering Ninjas jumped up and landed on the top of the train carriage.

"Act according to the plan." The leader of the Wandering Ninjas ordered.

The group of wandering ninjas nodded their heads, and one by one, they stretched out their hands to the roof of the car and jumped in through the window.

However, there were a few guards who were slightly clever and stabbed at the wandering ninjas when they were about to come in.

However, after all, the guards were only slightly stronger ordinary people. In terms of strength and dexterity, they were not comparable to ninjas who had chakra buffs.

This was like an ordinary person meeting Spiderman, and they were completely not a match for him.

The wandering Ninja who came in naturally would not be polite, and the guard who had resisted just now casually dealt with it.

After killing just two or three people, the people in the carriage were shocked and did not dare to breathe.

Uchiha Tunan looked at the wandering Ninja who jumped into the carriage one after another, and did not seem to have any thoughts of stepping forward.

He casually closed the window beside him and happened to block a wandering Ninja who was about to jump in.

The vagrant Ninja fell into the bottom of the car and was immediately swept into the wheel, crushed into blood.

Blood splashed and some blood splashed on the window.

"Stop the car."

"…"

"You dare to refuse? I'll kill you."

A series of punches and kicks came from the driver's seat of the train.

Two wandering Ninjas dragged the badly battered conductor to the carriage where Uchiha Tunan was.

"Boss, this guy doesn't want to stop the train at all."

At this time, the wandering ninjas had already controlled the passengers in the carriage.

Seeing the passengers in the carriage obediently sitting in their seats without moving, their faces were full of horror, afraid that they would lose their lives in the next second.

The scar-faced ninja turned his head and said in a deep voice, "None of us know how to drive this thing. We will deal with him later."

He then said to the passengers in the carriage, "All of you, don't move. Whoever moves will die.

Now, hand over all the valuables you have on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the passengers heaved a sigh of relief.

It was not a big deal just to get the money on them.

The two wandering ninjas began to search for the money and valuables of the travelers.

At this time, the middle-aged man in front of him was holding the frightened little girl. He lowered his head and whispered,

"Ninja, can you beat them?"

Uchiha Tunan was watching this scene with great interest. When he heard the middle-aged man ask him, he immediately said meaningfully,

"Sure, do you want to see me uphold justice?"

The middle-aged man seemed to heave a sigh of relief and continued to whisper, "Just treat it as me entrusting Sir ninja to take action."

"No problem."

Uchiha Tunan spread out his hands, and the smile on his face became even wider. He immediately whistled.

"Yo —Who is it that is still in the mood to whistle under the eyes of us brothers?"

A wandering Ninja had just finished teasing when he heard a bird cry from outside. This voice seemed to contain an impatient mood.

"Coo —"

The densely packed black birds rushed into the carriage like a flood, directly pouncing on the wandering ninjas.

"What is this thing?"

In the blink of an eye, an unsuspecting wandering ninja was drowned by the black birds.

The other wandering ninja reacted a bit faster and raised his long knife to cut the incoming birds.

He wanted to try and kill these fierce birds, but it was of no use.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal colliding was heard, and the wandering Ninja's palm was immediately numb.

The scar-faced Ninja quickly reminded,

"Be careful! This is a ninja beast, there are ninjas in the carriage."

However, despite the reminder, Uchiha Tunan's ninja beast had been transformed by Uchiha Tunan's chakra all year round.

In an instant, those wandering ninjas were thrown to the ground by the raptors.

There was a terrifying tearing sound and wailing sound in the carriage.

The Ninja who had been standing in the carriage arrogantly just now was now lying in a pool of blood, surrounded by black feathers.

"Boss, save me!"

"Spare me —"

…..

The scar-faced Ninja raised his long knife and used all his strength to pull at the back of the raptor that was tearing its partner a few times, but the raptor did not even bother to look back at him.

In an instant, the black torrent dispersed, and not a single bone was left on the ground, leaving only a few bloodstains that were almost licked.

At this moment, Uchiha Tunan stuck his head out of the aisle and called out,

"Friend, please come over.

If you come over, I won't kill you. "

"Gulp —"

The scar-faced Ninja swallowed his saliva and nodded subconsciously. He walked shakily towards Uchiha Tunan.

At this time, the conductor finally discovered Uchiha Tunan. His face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression as he muttered, "Lord Tunan…"

When the scar-faced Ninja arrived in front of Uchiha Tunan, his entire body was already drenched in sweat. His face was deathly pale as he said, "Sir, what instructions do you have?"

How could the scar-faced Ninja not know that this time, he had met a ruthless person and was extremely afraid.

Uchiha Tunan pointed at the family of three opposite him and said, "Do you know them?"

"I don't." The scar-faced man glanced at the trembling family of three and shook his head.

Uchiha Tunan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, if you kill them, I will let you go."

For some reason, the scar-faced Ninja hesitated and forced a smile. "My lord, we only rob money and not kill people."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and his expression instantly became cold.

"Why are you pretending in front of me?"

With a flick of his finger, an air pill pierced through the forehead of the scar-faced ninja.

"Uh —"

The scar-faced ninja's corpse fell straight onto the table in front of Uchiha Tunan.

The woman and the little girl screamed in fear.

The middle-aged man said with an ugly expression, "Sir Ninja, how did our family offend you? Please forgive us."

Uchiha Tunan leaned forward slightly, rested his elbows on the table, looked directly at the middle-aged man and said, "When you gave me a business card before, why were you grabbing it in your pocket?"

"I'm looking for a business card."

"So long?"

"My thigh is itchy."

"Don't you know that most of the herbs in this season haven't been harvested yet?"

"It's a lot of profit."

"I really can't do anything to you."

Uchiha Tunan smiled and shook his head. Then, he reached out and pinched the little girl's face. Then, he flicked his finger.

"Ding…"

A small hole popped up on the little girl's face, revealing the metal inside.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell silent.

The couple in front of them were obviously tense and ready to attack at any time, but they were afraid of something.

Uchiha Tunan pointed at the little girl in surprise and said,

"You are so good at making up stories. Do you want to say that this thing is a Kugutsu doll that you imported from the Wind Country?"

"Puchi —"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a blade piercing through the woman's heart from behind the seat.

The person who had attacked was the conductor, the one who had been advised by Uchiha Tunan at the Fire Temple: Guan Gu Yifeng.

After Guan Gu made a move, the middle-aged man acted like a frightened bird and moved his hand towards Uchiha Tunan.

The middle-aged man clenched his left hand.

The little girl's mouth suddenly split open, and a dense amount of bitterness shot out from her mouth, attacking Uchiha Tunan's face.

Uchiha Tunan's expression did not change. He gently pinched the first kunai with his two fingers and then pushed the follow-up kunai away precisely.

"Ding ding ding…"

Finally, he flicked his wrist, and the kunai instantly penetrated the little girl's head and nailed her to the seat.

"Die!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man's right fist was less than an inch away from Uchiha Tunan's face.

Uchiha Tunan raised his arm slightly and opened his five fingers.

"Pa!"

The man's right fist landed firmly in Uchiha Tunan's palm.

Uchiha Tunan slightly raised his eyebrows and murmured, "This is… Immortal Arts…"

Then he slowly increased the strength of his five fingers, and with a "bang" sound, the man's right fist was pinched into a lump of meat.

"Uh… Ah!"

Obviously, this man was not a tough man. He had lost the ability to resist in the intense pain.

Uchiha Tunan's eyes slightly widened, revealing three tomoe Sharingan. He cast a Hell's Eye on the middle-aged man.

After a moment, the middle-aged man's eyes widened, his breath cut off, and he fell on the ground.

From the illusion just now, Uchiha Tunan had already obtained the information he wanted.

This middle-aged man was Chuunin from the Fire Capital, mainly doing spy missions like spying and assassination.

Uchiha Tunan immediately got up and took out a note from the middle-aged man's pocket.

There was nothing written on the note.

Uchiha Tunan searched the note and found the sticky part smoothly. He tore the note into two pieces.

It was this note that was made of two sticky notes. The side of the sticky note had a special rune drawn on it.

On this note, if you use your fingers to write, it will be displayed on a scroll in another place.

There is a certain distance limit, about several hundred miles.

Obviously, this man came to spy on Uchiha Tunan.

And those wandering Ninjas were just the victims behind the scenes who used them to test Uchiha Tunan's strength.

Uchiha Tunan put the note into his storage bag with a clear conscience.

Things like rune arrays were related to rare knowledge and could be studied when there was nothing to do.

Guan Gu Yifeng came to Uchiha Tunan's side and said respectfully, "Lord Tunan, I didn't think that I would be able to see you here."

Uchiha Tunan turned around and observed the passengers in the carriage. Through the ability of rolling his eyes, he confirmed that there was no chakra flowing in their bodies.

Then he patted Guan Gu Yifeng on the shoulder and said,

"You are very good. I didn't expect that the once down and out man became a machinist now."

Guan Gu Yifeng was flattered and said, "Do you need me to help you deal with it?"

Uchiha Tunan nodded and returned to his seat. He said,

"Sorry to trouble you."

If there was a cup of hot tea, then it would be even better.

"There is, there is."

Guan Gu Yifeng swiftly carried the corpse to the connecting point of the carriage and threw it away. He did not know where he got a pot of tea for Uchiha Tunan.

After respectfully greeting him, he tactfully did not disturb him and went to the driver's seat to control the train.

A seemingly dangerous hijacking had ended just like that.

The passengers in the carriage were all ordinary people. After seeing Uchiha Tunan's ruthlessness, they did not even dare to breathe loudly. How could they dare to approach him?

Uchiha Tunan was naturally happy to be idle. Looking at the scenery outside the window, he took a sip of tea and picked up the drawing board to start writing again.

"It's like a dragon's lair or a tiger's den. Aren't you afraid of scaring me away?"

At this time, in the underground palace under the Daimyo mansion of the Fire Capital.

The underground palace was like a football field with three floors.

The lowest floor was full of various instruments of torture, and there was a round table in the middle with a chair in the middle.

Naraku sat on this chair, with the head of the Guard Mansion in his right hand, and Yamamoto Takao in his left.

At the edge of the stage, the 12 guardians sat cross-legged, facing the prisoner, protecting Naraku in the middle.

On the second floor of the stands, the guards of the Daimyo mansion and the death warriors trained by the famous mansion were all sitting cross-legged.

On the third floor of the stands, there were numerous guards under the jurisdiction of the Guard mansion.

On the lowest floor of the stage, the Disciplinary Minister Yamamoto read in the book,

"Nobuo Uro, who accepted bribes from the enemy country, sold contraband in private, committed a crime against the country, and was punished with thousands of cuts according to the new law."

A middle-aged man knelt down below the stage. After hearing Yamamoto Takao's judgment of him, he immediately pleaded like a mad demon,

"My lord! I only sold some food, I did not commit treason."

The man's hand trembled crazily, and he could not control his voice.

His eyes were wide open. His eyeballs were covered in red blood, and there was a circle of gray marks around his eyes. It looked like he had not had a good rest for a long time.

However, Naraku, who was closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, waved her hand impatiently.

The next moment, the middle-aged man was dragged to the torture device and tied up.

"You are so brutal. You will die a horrible death. The Kingdom of Fire will be buried in your hands by late!"

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man was skillfully used iron pliers to pull out his tongue, so as not to harass the Daimyo.

The people above had long been accustomed to this, and there was no sympathy in their eyes, all of them looking at each other coldly.

Naraku slowly opened his eyes and sat cross-legged. His hands made a special gesture, and he said to Yamamoto Takao,

"This is the last one, right?"

Yamamoto Takao immediately kneeled respectfully on the ground.

He bowed his head and said,

"Reporting to my lord, there are only eighty-six criminals in this batch."

Naraku chuckled and nodded. "It seems that the new law has been implemented well. Carry on with the execution."

Yamamoto Takao immediately stood up and ordered the executioner, "Carry on with the execution."

Because it was underground, the temperature in the underground palace was lower than the ground. It was unknown where the cold wind came from, but it made many people shiver.

As Yamamoto Takao finished speaking, the prisoners under the stage began to suffer the inhumane torture.

There were cannon marks, snake bites, oil pots, and tens of thousands of knives.

There was a drop of water torture in the gentler part, and there was also an additional torture(pasted on the face with wet paper, one by one, it was suffocating.)

"Mm…"

Without exception, all the prisoners had their tongues pulled out, and they could only wail and struggle in pain.

Only the tears of unwillingness fell from the corners of their eyes and fell on the cold ground.

Under the torture, the emotions of the prisoners reached the peak of their lives.

But as the torture continued, the prisoners breathed their last one after another.

The moment they died, their spirits went from high to deathly silent, and a great power of emotion surged out from them.

This power of emotion would be first absorbed by Naraku and the others.

Those that could not be absorbed in a short period of time would be absorbed by the people on the second and third levels.

It was obvious that after Naraku sent people to ask for the cultivation method of the celestial clan of the Fire Temple, she thought of this kind of unorthodox method to cultivate immortal arts.

After tasting the taste of power, the new law that Naraku executed became more and more harsh.

There was almost no punishment like detaining, only judging the severity of the crime to what degree of torture the prisoner had to suffer.

Half an hour later, Naraku felt that the surrounding emotional force was gone, and then he reluctantly opened his hands.

He clenched her fists, and a look of infatuation appeared on his face as she muttered, "Strength always makes people lose themselves in it."

"Ookawa."

"Your subordinate is here."

"Who hasn't arrived yet?"

"My lord, only Konoha's players are not here."

When Naraku heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said slowly, "Still on my train?"

Ookawa said in a deep voice, "Yes, he will probably arrive at noon tomorrow."

A malicious smile flashed across Naraku's lips.

"No matter what, he is representing our country of fire. Go welcome him on my behalf.

Don't lose my face."

With that, he stared at the people under the stage and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, sir."

After going up to the river, Naraku placed his hands on the armrest and slowly stood up. "Talang."

Yamamoto Takao immediately knelt on the ground and bowed his head. "What instructions does the Lord have?"

Naraku tapped his finger on the armrest and said, "Add another rule on the new law, the crime of deceiving the Lord."

Yamamoto Takao said in a deep voice, "I wonder what kind of punishment the Lord is going to arrange for this crime."

Naraku frowned slightly when he heard this. He reached out and rubbed her temples. After thinking for a long time, he sneered and said,

"I can't think of any more interesting torture at the moment. Just write an unpardonable crime."

"Yes."

The next day, at noon.

"Clang, clang, clang…"

In the station of Fire Capital, a group of bare-armed workers was holding a shovel and opening up a new line.

"Dirty —"

A worker straightened up and looked in the direction of the whistling sound.

He saw a black steam train slowly approaching the station. At a rough glance, the front of the train seemed to give people a ferocious feeling, like a beast.

The sky was originally clear, but behind the train, endless dark clouds appeared, like a dark gray curtain, spreading towards the capital of fire.

"Looks like it's going to rain."

The worker couldn't help but mutter.

"All of you, go back and rest. The station is temporarily under martial law."

Along with a dignified and deep shout, a group of city guards dressed in standard clothing and carrying long sabers drove the workers away, guarding every corner of the station.

At this time, a middle-aged man with white hair rode a brown horse and arrived at the platform under the lead of several attendants.

The middle-aged man was Uchiha Tunan's immediate superior when he was working in the Fire Capital, the head of the Guard Mansion, Ookawa.

Ookawa narrowed his eyes and stared at the train coming towards him with a malicious gaze. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

When the train arrived at the station and had not completely stopped, Ookawa spoke loudly,

"Welcome to Konoha's Chuunin, Uchiha Tunan, to participate in the five countries' honor. Fight for the honor of the Fire Country."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of guards in the station straightened their chests and shouted in unison, "To fight for the honor of the country of fire."

"To fight for the honor of the country of fire."

"To fight for the honor of the country of fire."

…….

In the carriage, Uchiha Tunan's ears moved slightly, his eyes turned scarlet, and the three jade hooks slowly circulated.

His line of sight passed through the drawing board, the seat in the carriage, and the driver's seat in front of him, and he saw the scene at the station.

Uchiha Tunan subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and the picture was gradually enlarged. His pupils reflected the figure of Ookawa.

Then, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he slapped the drawing board on the table. He picked up the tea that was still warm and took a sip, muttering, "Awesome."

As soon as the train arrived at the station, Uchiha Tunan took off his cap and threw it on the table.

He took out the Konoha forehead guard from his ninja backpack and put it on his forehead. He stood up and stood in front of the carriage door.

Guan Gu Yifeng opened the door to the driver's seat. He looked at Uchiha Tunan and said, "Lord Tunan, be careful. I will pick you up when the time comes."

Uchiha Tunan nodded slightly.

"Chi —"

Thick steam suddenly came out from the top of the train. The whole car seemed to be discouraged and stopped by the platform.

Uchiha Tunan got off the car with an indifferent face and stood in front of the river.

On his horse, Ookawa looked down at Uchiha Tunan with no intention of getting off his horse to greet him.

"How have you been, the first genius of Konoha?"

Because of the height, if Uchiha Tunan wanted to talk to him, he had to look up at him.

This was the effect that Ookawa wanted.

He did this to let the Daimyo behind him know, and he would feel better.

Making Uchiha Tunan embarrassed was equivalent to making him famous, and being famous was equivalent to being valued.

Uchiha Tunan did not raise his head, but looked at the brown horse in front of him with a calm expression.

The next moment, the pupils of the horse shrank, and it immediately foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground.

The moment before the horse fell to the ground, Ookawa rolled over and landed firmly on the ground. He glared at Uchiha Tunan and said, "You…"

Uchiha Tunan's eyes were slightly strange, as if he was looking at a fool.

"I am a Ninja, not an official. Don't mess with me.

Aren't you afraid that I will turn around and go back to Konoha?

I can go back alive.

But if you go back,

Can you still be alive?"

When Ookawa heard this, it choked up. Although the anger in his heart rose, he had to admit that what Uchiha Tunan said was right.

With the people he brought now, if Uchiha Tunan turned around and left, they really couldn't stop him.

When he returned to report, he might really lose his life.

He immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and took a deep breath. "My Lord has already prepared a residence for you. Please follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Uchiha Tunan chuckled. He was too lazy to argue with this reckless man who controlled the violence of the capital all year round. He immediately followed.

It had been three years since he left Fire Capital last time.

This time, when he stepped into Fire Capital again, he found that Fire Capital had changed greatly.

The entire city was expanded.

With the city walls as the boundary, the former capital city was the inner city.

A new city wall was built on the edge of the town outside the city, and it was divided into the outer city.

The road was several times wider, and pine trees were planted on both sides, as the boundary between the pedestrians and the carriages.

Many strange shops appeared in the capital of fire.

This also proved that the people here lived much richer than before.

After all, they were full of thoughts.

Looking at this group of city guards, each of them was full of energy, and their military discipline was strict.

The city guards that Uchiha Tunan took over were completely incomparable.

At that time, the city guards were all walking casually, no different from ghosts entering the village.

After Ookawa was defeated at the platform, he no longer had the mood to talk to Uchiha Tunan.

Soon, under the surveillance of a group of city guards, Uchiha Tunan arrived at a large house.

Ookawa said with a cold face, "The day after tomorrow, we will go to the arena to start the competition. Don't run around for the next two days.

The capital of fire is not too peaceful, don't make things difficult for me."

Uchiha Tunan smiled and said softly, "Naturally, I won't cause any trouble for Master Ookawa."

"Please." Ookawa extended his hand and gestured.

The two city guards immediately ran to the front door of the house and opened it.

Uchiha Tunan walked in expressionlessly.

Ookawa looked at Uchiha Tunan's back as he walked into the house and narrowed his eyes.

Let's see how long you can be arrogant.

The two city guards closed the door again and stood on both sides.

Ookawa looked around and ordered in a low voice, "You guys stay here and guard. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes."

The city guards immediately shouted and surrounded the mansion.

Ookawa turned around and walked towards the mansion.

In the mansion.

Naraku was soaked in a dark green potion, and his face trembled from time to time. It seemed that she was not feeling good.

The maids beside him brought over a bowl of soup and offered it with both hands. "My lord, the medicine has been prepared. Do you want to add some honey?"

Naraku raised his head and closed his eyes as she muttered,

"No, it's a bitter medicine. The bitter medicine is the best.

Besides, this medicine is not as bitter as the pain in my heart."

After saying that, he reached out to take the medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment he took the medicine, Naraku's face became extremely ugly, and the sweat on his forehead gurgled out.

But he forced himself not to say a word.

At this time, Ookawa arrived outside the curtain and did not speak. He just quietly knelt down on one knee.

After a long time, Naraku let out a long sigh of relief. He raised his hands and slightly clenched them. A satisfied expression appeared on her face as she said,

"Have you arranged it?"

"Yes, Uchiha Tunan has already moved in."Ookawa said in a deep voice.

"Very good, regardless of whether the information is accurate or not, regardless of whether he is the person I am looking for.

At the very least, he can fight against the Three Ninjas, and he is now the strongest in Konoha."

Suddenly, Naraku raised his eyebrows and asked,

"This season, is it already over the time to grow seedlings?"

"How is our planting this year?"

"Yes, according to the information," Ookawa said in a low voice.

"The crop farming area of the four countries this year is less than half of the previous year.

Almost all of them planted cash crops under the lure of sky-high profits. "

Naraku chuckled. "How much food have we accumulated? It's enough for the Fire Country to eat for a few years."

Ookawa counted in his heart and replied, "At least twenty years."

Naraku twisted his neck and opened his mouth to eat a grape that the maid had fed him. As he chewed, he said,

"Enough, it's completely enough.

In twenty years, the entire Ninja Realm is already mine.

Da Kong, there's a thorn stuck in my throat. I can't swallow it, I can't spit it out.

What do you think I should do? "

Ookawa was slightly stunned. He thought seriously and said, "This… If this subordinate encounters this kind of situation, I'd swallow it by force."

Naraku took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.

"I've already advised you to read more books.

Being uncultured is a more terrifying thing than having no strength.

This is a metaphor, not a thorn, but Konoha.

Ookawa immediately understood and said, "This subordinate understands. The wooden leaf is stuck in the Lord's throat. We have to pull it out."

Naraku sighed and said slowly,

"Ninja Village should never exist.

Now that everything is ready, we can start the war.

Konoha has no White Fang, no Three Ninjas, as long as we get rid of Uchiha Tunan.

Konoha basically has no high-end fighting force.

When the war begins, we will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Even if a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Konoha will still be greatly injured.

When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to take over Konoha, and then slowly annex the other big countries.

Ookawa suddenly lowered his head and shouted: "Lord is wise."

Naraku waved his hand and said, "Go, pass my orders to the finance minister.

Immediately push out new currency, the exchange ratio is one to ten thousand.

The strategic resources of the famous mansion can only be purchased with new currency.

Stop purchasing the economic crops of other countries.

In addition, inform the guards to prepare for the battle. "

"This subordinate obeys." Ookawa responded in a low voice, then got up and walked outside.

After a long time, Naraku's low voice sounded from the curtain.

"I just don't know how long Konoha can last."

If the ninjas of the four countries can push the battle line to the vicinity of Konoha, that would be great.

When the Fire Capital sends out their 20,000 troops, they might even be killed.

In this case, in less than five years, the Ninja Realm will be mine.

"Haha… Ah… Ha…"

"Who is it!"

Naraku, who was laughing wildly, suddenly closed his hands without hesitation.

"Immortal Technique – Rock Dragon Technique."

Rumble!

In the Daimyo mansion, a stone dragon soared into the sky and rushed into the dark clouds, swallowing a white pigeon hiding in the dark clouds.

Shua, shua, shua.

In an instant, six guardians appeared outside the curtain, all kneeling on one knee with fear on their faces. "Lord, please forgive me."

"In this critical period, you need to be more alert. There will be no next time."

In the dark curtain, the cold voice of Naraku sounded.

The six guardians heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan, who was drinking tea in the courtyard, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He could even detect a peep from thousands of meters up in the sky.

Moreover, he could kill his own white pigeon in an instant.

One had to know that his white pigeon had long been like metal, and was invulnerable.

But in a moment, he was crushed into meat paste by the enormous pressure.

Moreover, he had yet to control the white pigeon to open the White Eye Insight, yet he was actually able to be detected.

This strength and alertness…

An expert.

He thought that there were experts guarding The Daimyo mansion.

Therefore, Uchiha Tunan gave up on using white doves and Byakugan to spy for information.

The eyes were very strange. There was clearly no chakra fluctuation.

But for experts, they would always have an instinctive sense of vigilance.

Perhaps… it was because the level of the supercilious look was too low.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tunan immediately took a sip of tea, lay on the rocking chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

It seemed that he was basking in the sun, but in fact, he was secretly launching a rumor to inquire about the nearby intelligence.

However, there was no harvest after a whole day.

It was as if all the residents nearby had been moved away.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Uchiha Tunan came to the courtyard and lay on the rocking chair, continuing to listen.

At the same time, the house of Ueda Nobutake, the contestant from Hidden Cloud Village.

Ueda Nobutake was sixteen years old this year. He was Chuunin of Hidden Cloud Village, but his strength had already reached Jounin's level.

The only thing lacking was that his mission volume had not met the requirements.

It just so happened that this honorary Chuunin competition was of great importance to all countries.

Because Naraku had promised that the champion reward was a large amount of resources for free.

At this time, however, Ueda Nobutake was frowning and writing information on the scroll. He muttered,

"No matter how I look at it, this place feels strange. It is clearly just an ordinary city guard, but it can make me feel some pressure."

After writing, he closed the scroll and then used the Summoning Spell to summon a lizard.

"Give the scroll to the village."

Tunan saw Ueda Nobutake put the scroll into the lizard's open mouth.

At this moment, somewhere in the underground palace.

Two Guardian Ninjas sitting cross-legged on the huge formation opened their eyes at the same time.

"How dare you!"

"You go, I'll go."

"I'll go."

The next moment, one of the Guardian Ninjas used the Instant Movement Technique and disappeared.

At this time, Ueda Nobutake had just removed the Summoning Technique and came to the window to take a look outside.

From time to time, he saw city guards patrolling the nearby roofs.

Ueda Nobutake frowned and thought to himself, Looks like I have to go out and take a look.

After thinking about it, Ueda Nobutake pushed open the door and walked out of the courtyard.

"Squeak —"

The moment the courtyard door opened.

The city guards stationed at the entrance all looked over.

Two of the city guards stood in front of Ueda Nobutake. One of them said in a deep voice,

"The Daimyo has given orders to ensure the safety of the participants.

The participants are not allowed to go out before the competition.

If you need anything, you can tell us. "

"I came all the way here to see the glory of Fire Capital.

If you don't trust me, you can send more people to follow me." Ueda Nobutake said.

The city guard said with a firm expression, "No."

Seeing that he had already said this, however, he was still rejected by a small city guard.

Immediately, a look of annoyance appeared on his face, "I am here on behalf of the Kingdom of Thunder, not a criminal. You do not have the right to imprison me."

The city guard continued to act impartially, "Please go back, do not make things difficult for us."

"Get out of the way!"

Ueda Nobutake took a step forward, grabbed the guard's shoulder, and pushed him away.

"Stop him." A city guard shouted.

In the next moment, all the city guards rushed towards him.

"Hmph!"

Ueda Nobutake coldly snorted and threw a punch at a city guard in front of him.

After all, these city guards looked like ordinary people. If they had a carat, it was very likely that they would die.

This was the capital of fire, and Ueda Nobutake was still a lot more restrained.

Seeing this, the city guard on the opposite side also punched out.

However, the city guard used all of his strength in this punch, and his fist still contained a thin Immortal Technique Chakra.

"Bang!"

After the two people's fists collided, they actually retreated a similar distance.

Tanaka believed that his physical skills were far superior to that of ordinary people. He didn't expect that he would be able to compete with an ordinary city guard today. He immediately said with a face of disbelief, "Damn it."

Seeing more and more city guards gathered around him, his expression immediately became serious. He jumped high into the air, and his body burst out with dazzling lightning.

"Get out of the way! Lightning Style – Heavy Stream."

"Impudent!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out from the distance.

Suddenly, a huge splash of water bloomed on the ground below Ueda Nobutake.

The splash was like a man-eating flower that swallowed Ueda Nobutake in one gulp.

The knowledge of water being able to conduct electricity was something that Ueda Nobutake was still able to understand.

The instant he was swallowed by the water, he removed his ninjutsu.

The next moment, the water flower turned into a water ball. No matter how Ueda Nobutake struggled or released his chakra, he was trapped inside.

At this time, all the city guards made way.

They saw a man with black hair and white eyebrows pass through the crowd and come to the front of the water ball. He crossed his arms and said,

"This is the capital of fire. If you come here, you have to follow the rules.

If you still dare to send information privately in the capital of fire, or disturb the order.

Then I will follow my lord's orders and execute you on the spot.

If you understand, blink.

If you don't understand.

I will kill you right now."

If it was just an ordinary water prison technique, he only needed to release his chakra before the water prison was completely formed.

But this water prison seemed a bit strange, the water inside actually contained a special kind of toughness.

This was something that he had never seen before.

Ueda Nobutake who was about to suffocate, crazily blinked his eyes.

"Humph!" The black haired, white browed man coldly snorted, then snapped his fingers and released the ninjutsu.

The water prison dispersed.

The moment the water came into contact with the ground, it sank into the ground.

It was as if the ground was not paved with bricks but a piece of sponge.

"Huff… huff…"

Ueda Nobutake knelt on the ground with his hands on the ground and greedily breathed in the air. His eyes were full of anger.

"You have violated the diplomatic principle by doing this."

The black-haired, white-browed man lowered his eyes and said slowly,

"You are free to report this to your Raikage.

In addition, I will tell you clearly.

Even if you are in the room.

Your every move is under our watch.

Don't try to play any tricks.

Now, get back."

Hearing this, Ueda Nobutake only felt anger stuck in his chest. He said angrily, "You… Okay, I will remember it."

After that, he stood up unsteadily and turned to walk toward the house.

At the same time, Uchiha Tunan, who was resting in the courtyard, slowly opened his eyes. He touched his chin and muttered,

"That's not right. The conflict hasn't even happened yet. Why has this guy already set off?

He should have known the news beforehand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

What exactly is hidden in The Daimyo mansion?"

In the next moment, Uchiha Tunan's eyes turned three times, and he raised his head to look at the sky.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes and found that the entire sky above the Fire Capital was filled with thin and special Chakra.

This kind of Chakra was extremely familiar to Uchiha Tunan.

"This is… Konoha's barrier…"

This is the highest secret of Konoha, where did Naraku get it from?

Suddenly, two figures flashed in Uchiha Tunan's mind: Orochimaru and Danzo.

It seems that I underestimated the temptation of money.

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Honorary Chuunin competition, showing off the strength of the country?

What kind of joke was this? Naraku was not such a person.

At this time, in the deepest part of the underground palace.

This place was like an underground city. The edge of the city was a steel wall.

The walls were covered in seal runes to isolate the aura and sound.

The people living here were not commoners, but soldiers that Naraku had privately nurtured.

Naraku followed the group of guardians down to a stand above the underground city.

He looked down at the densely packed soldiers who were sitting cross-legged in the middle of the underground city square and practicing hand seals.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "How long will it take to develop the improved version of the Chakra Potion?"

A Guardian Ninja behind him bowed and said, "My Lord, ever since Orochimaru died, our progress has almost stopped."

Naraku touched her chin and said slowly,

"The Chakra Potion is too precious.

If we don't develop a modified product.

Even if we control most of the wealth in the world, we can't popularize it.

I have to find a way to speed up the progress. After tomorrow, you guys will secretly search for researchers."

"Yes, sir."

"How many people have reached the level of Genin now?"

"Just a little over two thousand."

Naraku placed both of her hands on the railing and crush it with his bare hand.

The iron railing was instantly deformed.

"2,000…

50,000 people cultivated day and night.

There were 30,000 people who could cultivate chakra.

However, only 2,000 people had the strength of Genin after such a long time.

This is the result of me overdrawing the world's wealth for dozens of years in advance in exchange for a huge amount of resources.

It seems that the gap in bloodline talent is more difficult to break through than I imagined.

Tomorrow, bring these two thousand people around the arena, just in case."

"Yes, sir."

The next day.

Early in the morning, Uchiha Tunan went to the arena under the protection of a group of city guards.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan learned that the venue of the honorary Chuunin competition was not in the city but outside the city.

Coincidentally, the address was in Mount Zhifu.

In the past few days, Fire Capital had always been cloudy.

At this time, dark clouds were pressing down on the top of the sky, and the sky was gray, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.

Soon, Uchiha Tunan arrived outside the arena.

The cliff that Abe Akira once lived on had been transformed into a tilted step, and the arena was at the top of the step.

There were soldiers standing on both sides of the steps and around the stands, all of them in high spirits and motionless.

The valley had been transformed into a huge venue for the competition. It was completely surrounded by tall walls, like a city wall. There were soldiers with long sabers hanging from their waists.

Perhaps it was because Uchiha Tunan did not know much about the aesthetics of the people of the Fire Capital.

There were dozens of meters tall stone pillars standing all over Mount Zhifu.

Each stone sculpture seemed to have been crafted by a craftsman, and the patterns were different.

Under the arrangements of the city guards, Uchiha Tunan walked through the small door at the bottom of the arena.

After passing through the dark passage, he successfully arrived at the arena.

At this time, the other four contestants were already standing in the other four directions of the arena.

When the four of them saw Uchiha Tunan arrive, their eyes were filled with hostility.

However, Uchiha Tunan was not interested in them at all. He turned his gaze to the top of the stairs.

Gradually, the figure of Ookawa appeared above the stairs.

Ookawa took a deep breath and knelt on one knee on the ground. He said in a clear voice, "The contestants are already in position. Welcome, Your Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of dancers began to dance on the square above the steps. The musicians also began to beat and play instruments, and the sound of music rang out.

And all the soldiers present were on one knee.

With a fanatical look in their eyes, they shouted in unison,

"Welcome, Your Highness."

"Welcome, Your Highness."

"Welcome, Your Highness."

…….

The voices were loud and uniform.

Fanatical shouts resounded throughout Mount Zhifu.

At this time, Naraku was followed by the twelve guardians and walked up the steps step by step.

After 10 minutes, Naraku stood in the square and slowly turned around. Her malicious eyes stared at Uchiha Tunan below.

The two looked at each other for several seconds.

At this time, the shouts and music stopped.

A meaningful smile flashed across Naraku's lips. She raised her left hand and pointed a few times, "Don't stop, continue playing, continue dancing."

The music sounded again.

Naraku also turned around and went to the highest seat in the stands to sit down.

The twelve guardians, on the other hand, protected Naraku in a semi-circle.

Uchiha Tunan's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

It seemed that something was going to happen today.

It was a grand and glorious Chuunin competition, but there was not a single outsider watching it.

Moreover, after Uchiha Tunan left the city, he found that the enchantment of the Fire Capital had been completely activated, and the scope had expanded, covering the outer city.

If he guessed correctly, even if there was a landslide outside the enchantment.

The residents of the Fire Capital could not detect it at all.

What are you trying to do? If you want to kill me, do you need to take so many detours?

Even if you are worried that you will hurt the innocent residents in the Fire Capital.

You can kill me halfway when I am still on the train.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan also could not figure out what Naraku was going to do.

In public, it was not good to observe directly.

Naer sat in his seat with a strange smile on his face. He said slowly,

"Today is a big day.

This weather makes me dislike it. It's too stuffy."

"This subordinate understands." The two Guardian Ninjas behind him immediately bowed their heads and answered, then came to the side of Naraku.

The three of them quietly looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

The same frequency was to form seals.

Immortal Technique – Air Blast Spell.

The three of them raised their heads and simultaneously shot three air bombs into the sky, shooting into the dark clouds.

A moment later, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly surged.

The gray sky was like a stone that fell into a calm lake, causing ripples in the air.

Suddenly, the dark clouds seemed to be frightened and scattered in all directions, revealing the vast blue sky.

Rumble!

At this time, everyone present heard a shocking explosion.

After the explosion, a fierce wind whistled over, raising dust and dust, flying sand and stones, and the mountain forest roaring.

The strong wind blew the big tree to the side, and the leaves struggled and rolled in the wind.

Naraku's long hair flew up, and she stretched out her hand to stop the guardian Ninja who wanted to release Ninjutsu to block the wind, and a carefree smile appeared on her face.

Her eyes once again moved to Uchiha Tunan.

A moment later, the wind stopped.

Naraku opened her hands and stared at the arena below. "You are all the top players of various countries, Chuunin. I welcome you to participate in the honorary Chuunin competition held by the Fire Country."

The players from Hidden Sand Village had a strange expression on their faces. "The Daimyo name of the Fire Country is too strange."

"How dare you!" A white-haired Guardian shouted angrily and immediately formed a seal.

The next moment, a tilted stone stick suddenly appeared in front of the Sand Hidden Village player and slammed him into the wall of the arena.

"Uh… Puff —" The Sand Village player had a shocked expression on his face as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Scarlet blood flowed onto the stone rod and spread out.

Naraku didn't even look at the Sand Village player as he leisurely said,

"When I speak, I don't like others interrupting.

Since you are not a member of the Fire Country, I will spare your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old guardian released the Ninjutsu and put the Sand Hidden Village player down.

Naraku slowly got up and walked forward with her hands behind her back. As she walked, she said loudly,

"My Fire Country has a lot of land and is prosperous and rich.

Konoha is the leader of the five big countries.

Konoha is the strongest village in the world.

And him!"

Suddenly, Naraku pointed at Uchiha Tunan, and everyone's eyes moved to him.

Uchiha Tunan's expression did not change as he quietly looked at Naraku.

"Konoha's number one genius, Uchiha Tunan.

However, I don't think this title is worthy of him.

He personally killed Orochimaru and defeated Tsunade."

The pupils of the four contestants shrank when they heard this, and they stared at Uchiha Tunan in disbelief.

"What!"

"If that's the case, what kind of Chuunin is this guy?"

……

A meaningful smile appeared on Nara's face as he continued:

"Konoha's Sannin, he defeated two.

I think he can be called the number one genius in the world of Jounin.

So to be fair.

Today's game was divided into two camps.

One was Konoha, and the other was other.

Which camp's players died first means that the other camp won."

As soon as his voice fell, the four countries on the field slowly moved their feet and gradually approached each other. At the same time, they were on guard against Uchiha Tunan, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

Report chapter Comments

Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Naraku's face. He turned around and sat down in his seat, gently waving his hand.

The maids carried a short table full of fruits and wine to Naraku and put it down.

Naraku picked up the wine glass on the table, put it to his mouth, and said slowly, "Let's begin."

With that, he finished the wine in one gulp.

As the wine entered his throat, Naraku's eyes suddenly narrowed.

At this moment, a Guardian Ninja beside him lowered his head and whispered, "My Lord, it's over."

Naraku put down the wine glass with an unhappy expression.

In the arena, the four players surrounded Uchiha Tunan and he was slowly putting Kusanagi Sword back into the sheath.

Naraku tapped his finger on the table and gestured for the maid beside him to pour wine. He muttered,

"What a disappointment, what a disappointment."

The Guardian Ninja beside him whispered, "My Lord, shall we…"

Naraku reached out and interrupted the Guardian Ninja. She said slowly,

"Take your time. I have waited for this day for a long time. Don't let my entertainment be too short."

After saying that, Naraku took a deep breath, sat up straight, raised her hand and pointed straight at Uchiha Tunan, and said in a clear voice,

"Uchiha Tunan, you are very good, very good…"

Please take a seat, I want to drink with the champion of the competition.

Soon, more than a dozen children of six or seven years old carried tables and chairs and wine to Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan sat down calmly.

At this time, a few children winked at Uchiha Tunan crazily and whispered with surprise,

"Tunan, it's us."

"Tunan, I miss you so much."

…….

Uchiha Tunan glanced at them.

He nodded slightly without leaving a trace.

Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at a child pouring wine for his wine glass.

However, while pouring wine, the child whispered with a worried face,

"Tunan, don't drink it."

The wine was pure amber in color, but when it was poured into the cup, there was a bluish-green bubble.

Everyone could see that there was a big problem with the wine.

At this time, Naraku picked up the glass, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"Uchiha Tunan, do you remember these children?

They are the children you adopted before.

I guess you must miss them very much, so I asked them to pour you wine."

Uchiha Tunan lowered his eyes and did not look at Naraku. He bowed honestly and said, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

"I propose a toast to you."

Naraku raised her head and drank all the wine. She did not put down the empty glass and just stared at Uchiha Tunan.

After a few seconds, he saw that Uchiha Tunan had not raised his glass.

Naraku had a look of realization on his face, and he said considerately,

"I forgot that the three taboos of the Ninja are not allowed to drink.

If you don't want to drink, I won't force you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ookawa shout,

"Drink."

Then, the soldiers around the arena shouted in unison,

"Drink."

"Drink."

"Drink."

…….

Naraku smiled even more.

Uchiha Tunan seemed to be in a dilemma. His face was extremely ugly and his body was trembling slightly.

However, it was unknown whether it was because of anger or fear.

After a long time, Uchiha Tunan took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, closed his eyes, and drank it.

Seeing Uchiha Tunan drink the wine, the soldiers stopped shouting.

Naraku's expression also instantly became cold.

After a long time, Uchiha Tunan finally opened his eyes. With a face full of surprise, he reached out his hands and touched his body, as if he was surprised that he was not poisoned.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief and bowed with a face full of surprise.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the wine."

Naraku snorted coldly and threw the wine glass to the ground.

"Pa!"

The moment the wine cup fell, the children around Uchiha Tunan attacked at the same time.

The child who poured the wine condensed an icicle in his palm and stabbed it at Uchiha Tunan's heart.

The child who was closer took out the Kunai hidden in his sleeve and attacked Uchiha Tunan.

The one who was further away took out several swords in his hand.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Ding ding ding…"

In an instant, the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Everyone felt their vision blur. In the blink of an eye, they saw that Uchiha Tunan was still sitting in his seat.

He was slowly sheathing his sword, but his expression did not change at all.

In the next moment, no matter how close the children were, they all clutched their necks and fell to the ground.

Naraku stood up and said in a low voice,

"You really are Abe Akira."

When Uchiha Tunan heard this, his slightly angry face immediately turned into a confused expression.

Puzzled, he asked, "I don't understand what Your Highness is talking about."

The corners of Naraku's mouth curled into a sinister smile. He slowly sat down and leisurely said,

"I have read your information.

You were born in the Uchiha clan, and your parents were ordinary Chuunin.

However, after your parents died, you showed great talent.

In just a few years, you were able to fight against Sannin.

Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "This is the result of my hard work."

Naraku seemed to have heard a big joke. He immediately sneered and said,

"Hard work?

One person only had that much energy.

I found several top doctors, and after a few rounds of research, they managed to combine more than ten types of poison into one.

Moreover, these ten types of poison are mutually restraining each other, so there won't be any toxicity after drinking it.

I order someone to put the medicine into your wine.

This cup of wine, anyone can see that it is poisonous.

If you are not proficient in pharmacology, how can you dare to drink it?

The pharmacology is not something that can be learned overnight. The only thing I can think of is my teacher, Abe Akira.

Don't say that you, a person who was born in Konoha since childhood, will give up your heart and obey every word.

Of course, if you insist on saying this, I will order you to commit suicide on the spot to prove it. "

Hearing this, Uchiha Tunan was silent for a moment, then sighed,

"I used to study under Mr. Abe Akira for a period of time.

He taught me a lot of knowledge, including pharmacology.

Your Highness, you also know that Ninjas often carry out assassination missions.

So in terms of pharmacology, I put in a lot of effort.

Moreover, although I am a ninja, in terms of knowledge, my talent in learning is very high.

I have been number one since I was young."

When Naraku heard this, he did not believe Uchiha Tunan's words at all. He said slowly,

"I can say that you are talented.

Someone come, it's evidence.

At this time, a maid walked into the arena with a stack of clothes, placed the clothes on Uchiha Tunan's table, and then left.

Uchiha Tunan touched the clothes and narrowed his eyes.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Naraku with a puzzled expression.

"This is…"

Naraku leaned forward slightly. He looked down at Uchiha Tunan and said in a deep tone,

"This is something that was found in the place where they believed to be the house of Abe Akira.

An… ordinary outer garment."

Uchiha Tunan shook his head. "I don't understand what Your Highness means."

A hint of ridicule flashed in Naraku's eyes. He reached out and stroked his chin.

"Everything seems to be reasonable there.

The clothes were all neatly stacked in the wardrobe.

But there was only one coat that was not in the wardrobe but in the mud."

Seeing that Uchiha Tunan was still confused, Naraku paused and continued,

"When Teacher Abe Akira appeared in Fire Capital, it was midsummer.

I made a bold guess.

You killed the original Abe Akira.

The corpse and the clothes on the body were all cleaned up.

Before leaving, you transformed into Abe Akira.

In order to be safe, you took the clothes from the wardrobe and put them on yourself.

Right?

Isn't that right?"

The more Naraku spoke, the more excited he became. His face was also filled with the joy of a victor as he continued,

"But you forgot one thing.

In the hot summer, not only would one not cover themselves with a blanket, one would also not wear a coat to sleep.

Therefore, Abe Akira's coat was hung on the door.

But you didn't notice it."

Uchiha Tunan's expression did not change. He quickly calculated in his heart and said lightly, "Maybe it's dirty and not wahed."

When Naraku heard this, he looked up at the sky and laughed a few times. He clapped and said, "I like to see you being stubborn."

After saying that, he stared into Uchiha Tunan's eyes. Her excited expression was not concealed at all, and he felt a sense of superiority.

After several second, Naraku realized that he had lost her composure, so he straightened her expression and said,

"In fact, you should know that your Hokage sama has already told me your identity."

Hearing this, Uchiha Tunan was suddenly startled, his face was full of disbelief, and gradually his expression fell. He sighed and said:

"Ah —

Because I killed the favorite disciple of teacher Sarutobi, Orochimaru Sensei.

He even exposed Tsunade senpai's unfair behavior, forcing Tsunade senpai and Jiraya senpai out of the village.

Because of this, Teacher Sarutobi has a grudge against me.

I have already broken up with him.

Now I follow Danzo san.

I really didn't think that Teacher Sarutobi would use such a ridiculous thing to slander me. "

As Uchiha Tunan spoke, he made a very pained expression.

Naraku frowned and thought for a moment. He nodded and said,

"So that's how it is.

I only said that you are Abe Akira.

He is my teacher.

Even if I mistook you for someone else, how can it be considered slander?

Do you know something?"

At this point, Naraku's eyes were full of ridicule as he stared at Uchiha Tunan, trying to observe the subtle expression on his face.

Before Uchiha Tunan could reply, he continued,

"Don't worry, let me help you think about how to quibble."

"You can say that you found out from various sources that Abe Akira was probably a spy from the enemy country, and that he was trying to sow discord between The Daimyo and Konoha, right?"

Uchiha Tunan lowered his head and took a deep breath. He nodded and said, "Yes."

Naraku sneered. The expression on his face was completely restrained. He regained his usual viciousness and said word by word,

"What a pity…

I was just interested and wanted to see your reaction.

In fact, I already knew the truth three days after you left.

I sent people to capture all the animals in Mount Zhifu and searched their memories one by one.

You thought that your actions were flawless and you wanted to deceive me with lies.

Looking at how you were full of lies just now, in my eyes, you are just a joke."

Uchiha Tunan chuckled and could not be bothered to continue pretending. He slowly stood up.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at Naraku indifferently and said,

"Naraku, playing with people isn't like this.

Taking such a big detour, isn't the final goal of forcing me to show myself?

You, it seems that you are not mature enough.

Naughty."

As he spoke, Uchiha Tunan quickly formed a seal with his hands behind his back and activated the Transformation Spell.

Uchiha Tunan's appearance was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His black hair began to turn white from the roots until it turned into strands of silver.

His skin gradually became wrinkled, and even old age spots appeared.

On his aged face, the cheekbones on both sides of his face protruded out.

The withered and wrinkled triangular face coupled with Uchiha Tunan's eyes, which were as deep as an ancient lake, made him look like an eagle looking at a wolf.

Just this appearance alone made many soldiers with poor temperament feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Now that your master has appeared, you can start your performance."

Naraku looked at the figure who he was thinking day and night, gasping for breath a few times, and a look of desire appeared on his face.

"Teacher, do you know why I put in so much effort and made such a big scene to say these words to you?

I not only want to avenge my father.

I also want you to see if I am stronger than you. "

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth curled up slightly, and he formed a seal with one hand.

The next moment, a stone pillar protruded out from the ground beneath Uchiha Tunan's feet and propped him up to the same height as Naraku.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas raised their eyebrows and subconsciously stood in front of Naraku, shouting, "Protect the Lord!"

The surrounding soldiers all drew their long sabers, ready for battle.

"Move!"

Naraku shouted, pushing away the Guardian Ninja in front of him. He took a few steps forward, stared at Uchiha Tunan, and gnahed his teeth,

"Controlling the human heart, I am stronger than you.

Look at the orphans you saved. In the end, they still surrendered to me.

Do you feel the taste of betrayal?

In fact, I have another guess, but I have never been sure.

Teacher… can you tell me the truth?"

Uchiha Tunan looked at Naraku indifferently and said, "You ask."

Naraku took a deep breath and said slowly,

"Although it is incredible, I still feel that a few years old person can not understand so much knowledge.

Without the accumulation of huge resources, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible for you to transform into strength so quickly.

I have read through all the documents in recent decades and found that there is a person who is extremely consistent with you.

You… are you Uchiha Madara?"

Uchiha Tunan's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had been stepped on by a painful foot. He immediately shouted angrily, "Courting death!"

In the blink of an eye, he activated the Lightning Escape Secret Technique – Thunder God Soul, communicating with the lightning ions in nature and condensing them together.

Instantly, Uchiha Tunan's silver hair danced in the air, lightning arcs surrounding his body, and his demonic might was brilliant.

When the soldiers saw this scene, they all widened their eyes and nervously grasped the hilt of their swords.

Seeing Uchiha Tunan like this, a look of ecstasy appeared on Naraku's face. He looked up at the sky and laughed,

"Ha ha ha…

Sure enough, I am the smartest one. "

At this moment, Uchiha Tunan was covered in lightning, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger. He said with a gloomy face,

"My good disciple, don't you understand?

The smarter a person is, the faster they die. "

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be summoned, like a galloping army of thousands of men and horses rushing towards the top of Uchiha Tunan's head.

Looking at it now, Naraku had asked the Guardian and Ookawa to attack the dark clouds in order to affect Uchiha Tunan's use of the Thunder Escape Technique.

Right at this moment, Ookawa and the two Guardian Ninjas stood together once again. At the same time, they formed a seal and said in a low voice,

"Immortal Technique – Void Explosion Technique."

Dense explosions shot into the sky above them.

It exploded in the sky, creating a powerful airflow.

For a moment, Dark Cloud was forced into a corner.

"I know your moves, how could I not be prepared for you to jump over the wall in desperation?

Uchiha Madara, today is the day you die.

I will let you feel what is called despair.

Music, dance, wine! "

Naraku was extremely happy. He turned around and returned to his seat, watching this spectacular show.

Uchiha Tunan raised his eyes and looked at the dark clouds that were unable to gather. With a thought, he used Immortal Technique Chakra.

Immortal Technique – Thunder God Soul.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They gathered together against the strong airflow.

As if they had been soaked in ink, the black mass sank down.

The muffled thunder was like a furious wave in the sky, rolling from far to near, from weak to strong.

Rays of blue lightning stretched in all directions in the shape of strange branches, cutting the entire sky into pieces.

Lightning flahed continuously, as if it were forgoing to strike down in the next second.

No matter how Ookawa and the others released the explosive hells below, the thunderclouds only rolled about for a few symbolic moments.

Seeing this, Ookawa said with a serious face, "It can't be scattered at all."

Naraku, on the other hand, had a confident look on his face as he said without the slightest bit of panic,

"Don't be anxious. Let's drink first. What harm is there in letting this old fellow do something?"

Uchiha Tunan's eyes were already completely indifferent, and there was no emotion related to humans.

The five fingers of his right hand were bent into a claw shape, and he raised it high.

In the next moment, the lightning around Uchiha Tunan condensed in the heart of his claws and turned into a blazing white thunder ball.

In an instant, the thunder ball burst out with dazzling white light.

The white light suddenly shot through the clouds, and suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be enraged, and the whole place lit up with dazzling blue light.

Immortal magic – Myriad Thunder Celestial Prison.

Rumble!

Countless thunder dragons that were as mighty as hell poked their heads out from the clouds and descended towards the earth.

A Guardian Ninja couldn't help but want to use Ninjutsu, but he was stopped by Naraku.

"Don't be afraid, believe in science."

In the time it took for a spark to fly, the lightning dragon struck the entire mountain.

The entire world was filled with blinding white light, making it impossible for people to see what was happening on Mount Zhifu.

Most of the soldiers only heard a world-shaking boom in their ears before they temporarily lost their hearing.

As for Naraku, he closed his eyes and listened to the continuous rumbling.

His hands actually followed the rhythm of the sound and began to move gracefully.

It was as if this world-destroying sound was nothing more than the music played by nature.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have poured out all of their energy and dissipated.

The world regained its clarity.

Uchiha Tunan withdrew from the state of Thunder God Soul and looked at the scene in front of him with a surprised expression.

"This is…"

He saw that the surface of the thousands of stone sculptures that stood on Mount Zhifu had already been shattered by the lightning, revealing the metal inside.

These metals had already been suffused with red light under the effects of the lightning, and the heat waves were surging.

Naraku shook his head playfully.

"Teacher, this thing is called a lightning rod. What you see is only a small section.

Below… it is connected to the underground river.

Your lightning technique is useless… "

Half an hour ago, in the Fire Capital.

In the house that Uchiha Tunan had arranged before.

"The enchantment has been activated for so long, and the instant-clone is still alive.

It seems that it is not as dangerous as I thought. "

Uchiha Tunan sat cross-legged in front of the short table in the room, took a sip of tea, and slowly put down the teacup.

Then he got up and went to the window to look around.

He heard the bustling sounds of the streets outside.

Obviously, the martial law had ended, and the surrounding soldiers had been transferred away.

In this situation, the experts of The Daimyo Mansion would definitely follow Naraku.

As for those ordinary guards, in Uchiha Tunan's eyes, they were no different from defenseless guards.

Uchiha Tunan looked in the direction of the Daimyo Mansion, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

"Let me see what good things you have found over the years."

In the next moment, Uchiha Tunan's eyes turned jade white, and he activated the ability of Byakugan.

The world in his eyes became red, and his sight penetrated layers of walls, looking through the entire Daimyo mansion.

Uchiha Tunan frowned.

There was actually nothing strange about it, how could it be?

Following that, Uchiha Tunan shifted his gaze downwards.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan raised his eyebrows, only to find that his vision was blocked by complicated sealing techniques.

"So it's underground. It's hidden quite deep."

In the next moment, Uchiha Tunan's figure disappeared.

Knowing that Naraku would attack him, Uchiha Tunan naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to go and kill him.

After all, the entire Konoha knew that he defeated Orochimaru and Tsunade.

There was no reason that Naraku didn't know.

Since Naraku knew about his general fighting strength,

He even dared to set up such a formation to welcome him.

Then he must be prepared.

This was a real world, not a hot-blooded anime that revolved around the protagonist's perspective.

Uchiha Tunan would not underestimate anyone, especially someone who could control Konoha's forces from a distance in the Fire Capital.

During this trip to Fire Capital, Uchiha Tunan had seen too many strange things.

In particular, the Temple of Fire's immortal arts seemed to have been popularized in the army.

This was extremely outrageous.

One had to know that he had the assistance of the Jade Algae;

As long as the living beings in this world were endless, he would be able to absorb enough emotional force to cultivate immortal arts.

However, only a few people in the Temple of Fire had successfully cultivated immortal arts.

In order to cultivate immortal arts, they had to enlighten their believers day and night to obtain a pitiful amount of emotional force.

The emotional force was the greatest threshold of immortal arts cultivation.

What method did Naraku use to break this threshold? This piqued Uchiha Tunan's interest.

There was one more thing.

The feeling he got from Ookawa was very strange.

When they met in Fire Temple two years ago, Uchiha Tunan had felt this strange.

Now Uchiha Tunan knew that this was a situation where the body was passively refining chakra.

It was the same as wearing a radiation necklace.

The problem was that there was no sign of aging or death in Ookawa.

This was terrifying.

The strongest clan with the best chakra talent were Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyuga.

These Ninja Clan were all related to the Otsutsuki.

It must be known that the average time for Ninjas to refine Chakra every day was around an hour, and the efficiency was about the same.

The amount of chakra extracted by the Uchiha Clan for an hour was about three times that of ordinary Ninjas.

The Senju and the Uzumaki Clan might be even stronger.

It had been more than three years since he left the Fire Capital last time.

If Naraku and the others could continuously refine Chakra 24 hours a day.

Then these three years would be equivalent to 72 years of cultivation for ordinary ninjas.

It was equivalent to a normal member of the Uchiha Clan cultivating for twenty-four years.

Ten minutes later.

At the entrance of the treasure vault in the depths of the underground palace.

Six soldiers with the strength of Genin stood motionless at the entrance.

All of a sudden, the pupils of the six soldiers dilated, as if they had lost their consciousness.

They saw white pigeons appear in the air at the entrance, and it was unknown where they had flown in from.

These white pigeons gathered together and turned into Uchiha Tunan.

"Open the door." Uchiha Tunan said lightly.

The six soldiers shook their heads and pointed at a mural next to the gate.

Uchiha Tunan looked to the side and saw that the mural was painted with a complex sealing spell.

Do I need to use a special method to open it?

Uchiha Tunan reached out and touched his chin.

Unfortunately, other than the general public seal tactics like the storage scroll, Uchiha Tunan did not have any other seal tactics.

He immediately gave up on breaking the seal, pulled out Kusanagi Sword from his back, and stabbed it into the tall stone door.

Surprisingly, the thickness of the stone door seemed to be a bit beyond imagination, and Kusanagi Sword did not pierce through.

However, Uchiha Tunan was not in a hurry. He used Kusanagi Sword to open a big hole in the gate.

The big hole was glowing with a special metallic luster. Obviously, this was not just a simple stone door.

Instead, it was a compound gate made of many layers of hard metal.

Uchiha Tunan repeated the same trick.

This time, the door was completely opened.

Walking into the treasury, even Uchiha Tunan, who considered himself to be experienced and knowledgeable, could not help but be stunned on the spot.

The treasury was tens of meters tall, and the rock layers above were inlaid with shiny gems, illuminating the entire treasury.

Uchiha Tunan could even see that there were all sorts of sealing techniques drawn on the rock layers above.

These seal tactics not only had the effect of isolating aura and spying, but they also had the ability to automatically trigger basic water escape and earth escape tactics.

Presumably, these tactics were to prevent disaster like fire.

Other than the gemstones on the top of his head, there was no other luxury goods in the treasury, nor was there a single banknote.

All kinds of food piled up into a mountain, the Kunai, the sword in his hand, the long saber, and other weapons were piled up in a corner.

There were also all kinds of medicinal herbs placed together in a bundle.

Uchiha Tunan took a deep breath and walked inside.

Cloth, finished products of clothing, coal, salt, rubber, gold, silver, copper, and other metals.

These things were all piled up on both sides of the road, and this road was beyond sight.

After walking for a long time, Uchiha Tunan finally reached the end of the treasure vault.

This was another door.

There was no seal spell pattern beside the door, but an ordinary keyhole.

Uchiha Tunan made a seal and pressed his finger against the keyhole.

Small streams of water gushed out from his fingers and poured into the keyhole.

A moment later, the keyhole seemed to be filled with water. Under the water pressure, the lock was successfully lifted.

In the next moment, Uchiha Tunan activated the ice escape he had just obtained and condensed the water into hard ice.

Then, he gently turned his fingers.

"Ka…"

The door was opened by Uchiha Tunan.

Inside the door was an antique room. There were many bookshelves filled with all kinds of scrolls.

In the innermost part of the room stood a huge scroll that was half the height of a person.

Uchiha Tunan's eyes narrowed and his figure flashed. He appeared next to the scroll.

"This… Could it be a scroll of the Senju?"

Report chapter Comments

Facing the scroll of the legendary God of Ninjas, Uchiha Tunan couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

He immediately sat down cross-legged on the ground and slowly opened the scroll.

As the scroll rolled, secret techniques were displayed in front of Uchiha Tunan.

The beginning was some basic ninjutsu, but it was not very valuable.

But gradually, many of the precious secret arts made Uchiha Tunan's eyes light up.

"The Immortal Race is actually also here." Uchiha Tunan's hands paused and he saw this familiar secret art.

It was not difficult to guess that the Naraku sent Ookawa to Fire Temple to ask for the scroll of the Senju.

To be honest, the disappearance of the Senju clan was very strange, and there was only one Tsunade left in the huge clan.

However, the villagers didn't even notice it.

Uchiha Tunan remembered that in his previous life, someone had guessed that the Senju clan should have dissolved on their own and integrated into the villagers of Konoha.

In this regard, Uchiha Tunan felt that it was not completely correct.

It was very likely that the Thousand Hand race was not only integrated into the villagers, but also integrated into the various levels of the Kingdom of Fire.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan thought of the last time he saw Ookawa in the Fire Temple.

Combined with the fact that the Earth Temple knew both immortal arts and the secret arts of the Senju.

Perhaps the Earth Temple was the clansmen left by the Senju clan to guard the scroll in the Fire Temple.

Uchiha Tunan boldly guessed that the Senju Clan must have stored the scroll of the Senju in the Fire Temple.

And this scroll was taken back by Naraku.

Then…

Naraku might be related to the Senju Clan.

Naraku… Senju…

Uchiha Tunan's eyes gradually narrowed as he recalled the time he spent with Naraku.

Finally, Uchiha Tunan discovered that something was wrong.

Naraku's physique was too good.

When he was whipped and trained like that, he onlu had to apply some medicine and rest for a few hours to completely recover.

Moreover, he had given him a chakra test paper and a few basic ninjutsu.

It didn't take long for him to release ninjutsu to kill his father.

This kind of innate physique, wasn't it the Senju clan?

Naraku must have a mixed Senju bloodline.

Perhaps a certain generation of the Senju clan had a marriage alliance with the current generation.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Tunan had opened the scroll completely.

After roughly looking through the follow-up secret technique, Uchiha Tunan immediately found a special secret technique.

It was inappropriate to call it a secret technique, but it was a high-level method of using chakra.

As everyone knows, the usage of chakra is basically divided into shape changes and nature changes.

This secret technique is similar to the Sand Control technique of Gaara.

It could change the shape of the chakra according to the mind of the user, and it could affect the corresponding matter.

Of course, this technique had a very high requirement for the control and quantity of chakra.

Uchiha Tunan calmed down and repeatedly watched it several times, memorizing this secret technique in his mind.

As for the other secret techniques, most of them were ordinary, not worthy of a high quality ninja like Uchiha Tunan.

After reading the secret technique, it was time to take the treasure.

This scroll was equivalent to a super-sized storage scroll, so there was naturally no need to mention the good things inside.

In the original work, during the battle between Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara in the Final Valley, he also summoned a large blade from this scroll.

Uchiha Tunan quickly made a series of hand seals and then pressed his right hand on the scroll.

Strangely, Uchiha Tunan's right hand seemed to touch the calm surface of the water, and the scroll rippled.

And Uchiha Tunan's right hand gradually sank in.

A moment later, Uchiha Tunan pulled out his right hand from the scroll, holding a potion in his palm.

"What is this thing…"

Uchiha Tunan pulled out the stopperand sniffed it. A nauseating stench entered his nose.

It was a little intoxicating.

Uchiha Tunan quickly stuffed the potion into his mouth. He endured the nausea and carefully recalled the contents he had just smelled.

The images of all sorts of medicinal herbs flashed through Uchiha Tunan's mind.

Almost every one of them was extremely precious, and there was no market for them.

There were the special products of the Ghost Kingdom, the eggs of the Illusory Wing Insect, and the black armor bamboo oil.

The Winter Lotus of the Snow Kingdom, etc..

But there were still some things that Uchiha Tunan couldn't remember for a moment.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Uchiha Tunan no longer thought about it and put the medicine back into the scroll.

He then closed the scroll, got up, went to the bookshelf, and flipped through the records on the bookshelf.

Soon, Uchiha Tunan found the records of the medicine from before.

When he saw the effectiveness of the Chakra Potion, Uchiha Tunan was truly shocked.

But when he saw the method of making it, Uchiha Tunan had to admit that Naraku was a ruthless person.

Chakra Potion: After consuming it, it can increase the amount of chakra that an ordinary person can cultivate for an entire day. Moreover, the matter of refining a chakra is purely provided by medicine, not harming the body.

Just looking at the effect, it was indeed a good thing.

However, the cost of making it required extremely expensive and rare medicinal herbs.

Not only that.

The main ingredient of the Chakra Potion was a certain amount of Heart Marrow.

Heart Marrow was formed from the blood and brain of the human body that had been extracted countless times.

To make a Chakra Potion, one needed to refine at least a hundred people.

What kind of concept was this?

If Naraku took this potion every day, he would need more than 100,000 lives in three years.

This was the amount he needed alone.

Looking at it like this, he seemed to be much kinder than Naraku.

Moreover, if Uchiha Tunan's judgement was correct, Naraku really possessed the bloodline of the Senju race, then his chakra was too astonishing.

In addition to the secret technique left behind on the Senju Hashirama scroll.

Uchiha Tunan couldn't help but take in a cold breath.

Hiss, this was a bit terrifying…

However, it was only limited to a little.

After all, even he didn't know the exact amount of chakra Uchiha Tunan had.

As long as he had enough chakra, it wouldn't have much meaning after reaching a certain level.

After all, he hadn't seen anyone with insufficient chakra in the later six levels of battle.

After thinking about it, Uchiha Tunan put down the item.

He walked out of the secret room and closed the door of the secret room.

After all, there were so many treasures inside. It was not a good thing for him to spread it out now.

The scroll of the Senju Hashirama was too big and it was really inconvenient to carry it.

It was better to settle the matter of Naraku first.

At the same time, at Mount Zhifu battlefield.

Naraku, who was drinking wine and watching the battle, suddenly frowned and muttered, "Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Then, he shook his head and said,

"Uchiha Madara, don't let me down.

I will let you have a good look at what a new generation of Ninja God is."

At this time, in the arena, Uchiha Tunan's Instant Clone was calmly looking around at the thirteen people who surrounded him.

He saw Ookawa and Twelve Guardian Ninjas make a familiar hand gesture and shout,

"Thousand Hand Kill."

Behind these thirteen people, pure white Thousand-Hand Buddha Statue appeared.

However, these thirteen people's Buddha Statue was slightly smaller than Jigo's.

Uchiha Tunan had an indifferent expression as he lightly said, "Bunch of clowns."

"You're courting death!"

In an instant, the pure white Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue behind everyone instantly transformed into a golden-red glaring Vajra.

Its entire body emitted a golden light, and the red that it emitted gave off a great deterrent force.

Everyone formed hand seals, and they were still chanting something.

One by one, fists were like missiles, attacking Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan's eyes were like jade, spinning rapidly.

The whole world seemed to have been pressed by a slow release button, and these fists became slow.

Taking advantage of the moment before the fists reached him, Uchiha Tunan reached out and touched his chin, looking up at the sky.

After dragging this out for so long, the main body should have investigated thoroughly.

Then, the next step was to test out all of Naraku's trump cards.

Rumble!

In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming golden-red fists completely buried Uchiha Tunan.

The smoke formed by the dust covered the entire arena.

Countless pieces of stone were shot in all directions.

The surrounding trees were all bounced up and down, and large trees were turned into sieves.

The leaves all fell to the ground and spread all over the ground. The thick trees could not stand such an attack, so they were broken in the middle and fell to the ground heavily.

The collapse of the trees around the arena was too loud, causing the dust on the ground to rise. Immediately, the entire environment was shrouded in dust.

It was hard to see clearly.

Naraku, who was sitting on the seat, frowned and stared at the dust.

He muttered, "How could it be so simple?"

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan's low voice rang out from within the smoke and dust.

"Immortal arts aren't used like this."

"If it really is a thousand hands. It can transform."

Suddenly, huge arms sprang out of the smoke and dust, firmly holding the thirteen people, and in an instant, the Buddha Statue behind them was broken.

Those Buddha Statues were directly crushed into pieces, and in the next second, they turned into pieces and disappeared into the air.

An Buddha Statue the size of a mountain rose from the smoke and dust.

The Buddha Statue was golden, and half fell on the golden lotus platform, thousands of hands on three sides.

On the left was a merciful face, on the right was an angry face, and on the front was an image of Rulai.

The densely packed and stretched arms were like a peacock spreading its tail, making people feel dizzy just looking at them.

Niluo stood up with a whoosh and frowned. "Damn it, where did he learn this move? Could it be that the fool Hashirama Senju passed this move to him?"

Uchiha Tunan opened his arms and a strange smile appeared on his face. He looked straight at Naraku and said slowly,

"Amitabha."

In the next moment, Uchiha Tunan clasped his hands in the middle.

At the same time, the summoned Buddha Statue threw the thirteen people in his hands into the sky.

Immediately, the densely packed arms closed in the middle at the same time, ready to slap the thirteen people to death.

The palms quickly closed, raising the yellow sand on the ground.

At this moment, the thirteen people finally saw the gap between them and Uchiha Tunan, and were scared to death.

"My Lord, save me!"

"Hmph!"

Naraku snorted coldly. His eyes narrowed, and he slammed his hands on the ground.

A palm made of countless rocks suddenly sprang out from the ground. Layer after layer, the thirteen people were gathered in the palm of their hands in advance, forming a rock ball to protect them.

"Bang!"

Thousands of hands joined together, turning the rock ball into a big pancake.

At the same time, the ground beside Naraku rolled over and over.

Ookawa and Twelve Guardian Ninjas spat out the earth that had been turned over.

It was Naraku who controlled the earth movement technique to move the thirteen people over.

Naraku waved away the thirteen people who had lost most of their combat strength and slowly walked forward.

"Uchiha Madara, you are known as the Shura of the Ninja Realm.

You once only lost to the god of the Ninja Realm, Senju Hasirama.

Everything I have today is all thanks to you.

I will let you experience the power of three hundred thousand living beings."

The corner of Naraku's mouth curled into a sinister smile. He stopped in his tracks, and his entire body erupted with an intense amount of Chakra.

His long black hair danced in the air, and the surrounding ground cracked open like a spider web. Countless small stones even broke free from gravity and floated on the ground.

Naraku's eyes were filled with madness as he shouted,

"Thousands hands, Huahong!"

The next moment, the entire Mountain shook.

"Bang, bang, bang…"

Thick rock arms emerged from the ground around them.

The ground under Naraku's feet began to rise rapidly.

The first thing that was revealed was the three heads of Buddha.

The soil and rocks of Mount Zhifu seemed to have been removed by half, and the entire Mount Zhifu was falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The difference between Naraku's thousands of hands and Uchiha Tunan was that.

Uchiha Tunan was purely condensed from immortal chakra.

And Na Luo's thousands of hands were formed by controlling the soil and rocks, and its size was even larger than the one that Uchiha Tunan had summoned.

Just like Hashirama Senju, the wood style was changed to earth style.

"Ha ha ha ha ha…

Tremble, Asura!"

As The Buddha Statue completely revealed his true appearance, Naraku, who was standing on the top of The Buddha Statue, laughed wildly.

Mount Zhifu also changed from mountain peak to flat ground.

Uchiha Tunan frowned, his eyes closed and opened, revealing his Mangekyo Sharingan.

He cast an illusion on Naraku.

However, Naraku was only stunned for a moment before she woke up. A playful smile appeared on her face as she said,

"A very strong illusion.

Unfortunately, it's useless against me…

In order to temper my will.

Every day, the twelve guardians will take turns to release the illusion.

I struggle in pain and suffering every day for today.

With the body of a mortal, I can compare with the gods.

I am the god of the new generation!"

However, at this moment, Uchiha Tunan's mind was no longer on Naraku. Instead, it was around him.

In Uchiha Tunan's line of sight, the soul that covered the sky surrounded Naraku.

The faces of each soul were extremely ferocious and terrifying.

They screamed at the top of their lungs, and their faces were twisted to the point of disbelief.

The screams of the souls seemed to be bearing great pain.

The whole scene was creepy.

"These… are all resentful spirits…"

If the soul suffered a great torture before death, there would be resentment.

The greater the resentment, the longer it would stay in the human world.

After the resentment dissipated, these souls would not be able to withstand the attraction force of the pure land and would be sucked into the pure land.

Uchiha Tunan only took a rough look and saw that the number of wraiths here was no less than two hundred thousand.

Naraku, this guy, in order to get strength, is a bit ruthless.

However, it is me who benefited.

I didn't expect to have a full meal before the war.

The corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth curved into a strange smile.

"Your smile makes me very unhappy."

When Naraku saw that Uchiha Tunan did not show the serious expression he had expected, he was a little unhappy.

"Hashirama Senju can defeat everyone in the world with Wood Release.

My Earth Release can do the same!"

After saying that, he suddenly clasped his hands together and shouted angrily,

"Immortal Technique – Stone Dragon Technique."

"Roar!"

A dragon roar rang out. A stone dragon emerged from the ground and coiled around the Earth Escape Great Buddha. Finally, the dragon head appeared above the Great Buddha and pounced towards Uchiha Tunan.

At the same time, Naraku also controlled the Earth Buddha to move towards Uchiha Tunan.

At this critical moment, Uchiha Tunan couldn't control the Buddha to extend his dozens of arms to capture the incoming Stone Dragon.

At the same time, he opened his left eye and the kaleidoscope started to spin rapidly.

Shuten!

There was a great suction force.

This suction force could not affect the real world, but to the soul, it was completely unable to resist.

The wraiths surrounding Naraku quickly floated towards Uchiha Tunan's left eye under the great suction force.

No matter how the souls struggled or screamed, it was useless.

"What is this? I don't want to leave. I want revenge."

"I can't accept this. I can't accept this."

"I haven't seen him die with my own eyes. I want to wait for him to die with me."

"I don't want to leave…"

…….

In an instant, all these souls were devoured by Uchiha Tunan.

Even in battle, Uchiha Tunan could not help but show a comfortable expression.

It was really too satisfying…

However, Uchiha Tunan's annoying expression was simply a naked provocation in Naraku's eyes.

He actually didn't take him seriously.

Damn it…

When Naraku got close to Uchiha Tunan, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He pushed forward with her hands folded and shouted, "Immortal magic – cloth bag technique."

All of a sudden, a palm formed from countless rocks gushed out from the ground around Uchiha Tunan, and it firmly grabbed onto Uchiha Tunan's Buddha Statue.

Naraku laughed wildly,

"Do you feel that these ninjutsu are very familiar? You won't have a chance."

In the next moment, the Buddha Statue formed from rocks under Naraku clenched its thousands of fists and attacked towards Uchiha Tunan.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In an instant, Uchiha Tunan's Dharma Idol was shattered, and the remaining rocks and heavy punches covered up Uchiha Tunan's small and weak figure.

"Oraoraoraoraoraoraoraora!"

When Naraku saw this, his face was filled with a carefree expression. It was as if he was trying to vent his anger. He controlled the earth to continuously bombard the Buddha Statue.

His mouth continued to clamor.

"Under the accumulation of absolute resources, all talent can not withstand a single blow.

Moreover, I still have the bloodline of the Senju. What can you use to fight me?

In the future, who would dare to use me as a puppet?

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo?

Are they even worthy to fight me?!

When I kill you, Konoha will surely be destroyed.

I will lead the army to sweep the four countries and become the Lord of the Ninja Realm!"

After a long time, Naraku finished venting.

The place where Uchiha Tunan was had been smashed into a circular pit.

The soil that should have been loose had been smashed into a hard rock wall.

And Uchiha Tunan's figure had completely disappeared, not even a strand of hair remained.

The emotions that had been suppressed for so long were completely vented out. On the contrary, Naraku felt a little dull. He removed his ninjutsu with waning interest, turned around, and walked towards the crowd.

The original Mount Zhifu had become a flat ground at this time.

The Buddha Statue formed from rocks melted into the soil.

It raised the ground a lot.

Seeing that Uchiha Tunan, who was so powerful, was killed by the mighty Naraku in one fell swoop.

The two thousand Genin brought along by Ookawa, Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and the two thousand Genin alls knelt down on one knee, their eyes full of fanaticism as they looked at Naraku and shouted,

"The Daimyo is invincible."

"The Daimyo is invincible."

"All hail The Daimyo."

…

Suddenly, Naraku stopped halfway and turned around. He stared at the huge pit in disbelief and said,

"Impossible! Why isn't he dead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent, holding their breath as they focused on the deep pit.

At the center of the deep pit, the hard rock wall suddenly exploded, revealing Uchiha Tunan who had changed into Abe Akira inside.

He saw that Uchiha Tunan's entire body was only stained with some dirt, and he looked completely unharmed.

What was puzzling was that after Uchiha Tunan escaped, he did not attack, but stood there with a calm face.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the direction of the Fire Capital.

"Step, step, step…"

The crisp and rhythmic footsteps seemed to step on the hearts of everyone present.

Naraku's eyes were wide open, his gaze wandering back and forth between the figure and the deep pit.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Uchiha Tunan came to the battlefield and apologized to Naraku,

"Sorry, my clone is too strong for you it seems like."

The veins on Naraku's forehead bulged and he clenched his fists tightly. He gritted his teeth and said,

"Clone…?!"

"Bang!"

Smoke rose from the deep pit, as if confirming Uchiha Tunan's words.

Naraku took a deep breath, clapped his hands once more, and shouted,

"So what? I don't believe that I can't kill you.

Thousand Palms!"

The earth shook and sank again, and the Buddha Statue formed of rocks gradually rose.

In order to be safe, Naraku even took out a small scroll from her bosom and opened it in front of her.

When Ookawa saw this, he immediately took out a large scroll from his ninja bag and opened it. He shouted,

"Quick! Give the Chakra to the Lord."

After saying that, the two thousand Genins knelt down in a square formation and placed their palms behind the person in front of them, sending pitiful amount of Immortal Chakra.

These two thousand Genin's Immortal Technique Chakra was sent to the body of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, and then sent by the Twelve Guardian to Ookawa.

Ookawa pressed his hands on the scroll.

At the same time, Naraku controlled The Buddha statue which was composed of rocks, while pressing on the scroll in front of him with one hand, he absorbed the immortal chakra of everyone to replenish his own consumption.

What made Naraku surprised was that Uchiha Tunan did not stop him, but walked towards him leisurely.

Naraku felt a burst of anger in his heart, and said fiercely, "You are looking down on me."

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes and smiled. He said gently,

"No, I admire you very much.

You have superior talent and temperament.

Your knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people.

The most important point is that you are ruthless enough.

This point is quite good as a leader."

Naraku sneered,

"Hehe… As expected of Uchiha, he is even more arrogant than I thought."

Uchiha Tunan smiled and shook his head,

"You can't even imagine how strong I am."

"Shut up!"

Naraku shouted. He used all his strength to stimulate the Immortal Chakra in his body, and the Buddha Statue's body grew even larger.

"Ah —"

Naraku shouted, using all his strength to control The Buddha Statue to reach out hundreds of arms and punch towards Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan had an indifferent expression on his face, and his eyes quickly changed into a Mangekyou, and the two Mangekyou started to spin rapidly.

"Today, I will let you experience what true strength is."

In the next moment, hundreds of huge rock fists struck Uchiha Tunan's body, but they were blocked by the golden barrier.

The golden samurai Gundam appeared around Uchiha Tunan.

This was the fourth form of Uchiha Tunan's Mangekyo, Heavenly Hound form.

Uchiha Tunan himself had forgotten when he could use the fourth form.

It could only be said that as one's strength increased, everything would go smoothly.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Naraku wanted to first restrain Uchiha Tunan before making a plan.

He immediately controlled The Buddha Statue to extend his arm again, grabbing the huge golden warrior in front of him.

Needless to say, Naraku's tactics were no problem.

The Buddha Statue which had fused with the earth escape was extremely strong in terms of strength, and he really managed to block Uchiha Tunan.

However, the corners of Uchiha Tunan's mouth curled up slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of mockery in his smile.

In the next moment, the golden warrior's right hand grasped at his waist.

A golden scabbard appeared at the waist of the warrior.

This blade was precisely the spirit artifact awakened in the fourth form of the Great Heavenly Hound.

Its name was Demon Sword Muramasa.

The Sharingan was worthy of being called the eye that portrays its user's soul. Not only did it give Uchiha Tunan all kinds of demonic skills, even his spirit weapons were evil.

The special effect of Muramasa was very straightforward and simple.

Omni-Attack type.

Whether it is space, soul, chakra, seal, force of nature, or even thought…

As long as Uchiha Tunan could see it, the moment Muramasa attacked, it would automatically turn into one.

Using the power of space to cut through space, using the power of the soul to cut off the soul.

None will survive its attack.

Chapter 219: Winning In One Sword Attack, Grovel

The golden samurai slowly drew out the Demon Sword Muramasa. The moment Muramasa was pulled out, its body burned with a seven-colored flame as if it contained a myriad of things. Naraku's pupils shrank seeing this, "What's this?"

The golden samurai raised Muramasa and immediately swung it down, severing the countless arms of rock Kannon. The arms disintegrated into soil and fell to the ground, creating a cloud of dust.

Naraku felt that a portion of senjutsu chakra within his body had been cut off and fear finally appeared on his face. "What the hell is this?"

Tonan made the golden samurai walk leisurely towards Naraku and indifferently said, "You know nothing about power." Naraku was sweating profusely by now as he felt he was at the end of his rope.

He put his palm together and shouted, "Senjutsu – Clay Figure Technique."

A rock grew from under and the originally flat ground rose by dozens of meters and turned into a giant that stood between Naraku and Tonan. Tonan shook his head slightly. Then, the golden samurai held the Demon Sword with both hands and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already behind the rock Kannon.

At this moment, the world seemed to lose its sound. Rumble… Both the clay figure and the rock Kannon were cut off in the middle. The clay figure exploded into pieces and rubbles flew everywhere, the dust blurring people's vision.

The lower part of the rock Kannon also broke into huge pieces. Naraku knelt on the top of the remaining part of the rock Kannon with a very ugly expression. At that time, the golden samurai dissipated and revealed Tonan's back. He slowly turned around and said, "Victory or defeat was already decided."

In the next moment, his scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly. Naraku felt red light shooting out from Tonan's eyes and his entire world seemed to turn blood red. The surrounding environment had also become abnormal. The light cast in the sky was like scarlet blood.

The trees and plants not far away were also dyed in blood. The vibrant environment had become horrifying. The entire world seemed to be nearing its end. At this time, Tonan faintly said, "Your so-called willpower is simply a joke in front of these eyes."

Tonan had used the Mangekyo level Hell Viewing Technique on Naraku. "Ah!" Naraku shouted and soon afterward, the rock Kannon disintegrated. He fell to the ground, trembling and sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty…" At this moment, the people who were watching the battle from the sidelines didn't even have the strength to get up because they had transferred their chakra to Naraku. All of them knelt on the ground, panting.

Tonan slowly walked toward Naraku and tested the secret technique he had just memorized from Hashirama's scroll. The ground protruded and a throne made up of condensed rocks emerged from the soil. Although it seemed a little rough because this was the first time he used this technique, the general form was still complete. "It's really convenient," Tonan nodded with satisfaction.

He sat on the throne and quietly looked down on Naraku in front of him. The Hell Viewing Technique was an attack-type genjutsu and its effect was instantaneous. At this moment, Naraku had suffered the attack. His face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. He raised his head to look at Tonan.

A hint of surprise flashed through Tonan's eyes, and he said with admiration, "I take back what I just said, your willpower is truly good. After suffering my genjutsu, you didn't go mad or faint."

Tonan thought that Naraku would curse. But beyond his expectation, after a few breaths, Naraku said with deep worship on his face, "Sensei… Sensei, you're too powerful, I, your student, am convinced now."

This response surprised Tonan. Naraku shamelessly knelt in front of him and with tears and snots all over his face, said, "Sensei, do you know that ever since you left, I've been thinking about you day and night? Every day I dreamed of the days when you earnestly taught me."

"I'm innately dull and ignorant. Encountering a big incident, I was extremely impulsive. Without you by my side to guide me, I stupidly made a gross error. I killed countless people and I regret it now. Sensei, thank you for waking me up today and letting me understand that there are people more talented than oneself in the wide world."

Tonan felt a chill run down his spine. He was not sure whether Naraku was begging for mercy or had gone insane after suffering his genjutsu. "What nonsense are you talking about? Weren't you trying to kill me just a moment ago? Since you've lost, are you admitting your mistakes?"

Naraku said with a firm face, "No, I swear! I swear! I never wanted to kill you."

Tonan scanned Naraku seriously and nodded his head."Alright, then swear it." Naraku was stunned. He slowly raised his palm and his eyes became even redder as he said with difficulty, "As a Daimyo, I swear that if I've any thoughts of killing sensei, the entire Land of Fire will suffer complete destruction and become barren."

Tonan smiled. He reached out his palm and slapped Naraku's face hard, "Hahaha… You're truly smart."

Naraku's face was red and swollen from the slap but there was no anger on it. Instead, he put on an ingratiating smile and said, "Sensei, you must have a lofty ambition. Isn't it better for me to serve you for life? It's fine even if you want me to abdicate, I'm willing to give up the Daimyo position to you."

"Do you think that's possible?" Tonan's eyes turned cold. Naraku seemed to sense the danger and carefully replied, "It is a bit inappropriate and not in line with the ancestral system. But I guess, sensei, you're aiming for the Hokage position. As long as I'm here, the entire Land of Fire will be Konoha's pasture and the people will be the sheep."

"I'm willing to be sensei's most loyal dog. Yes, what am I? Shepherd, sheepdog… Woof, woof, woof…" As he said this, Naraku actually got on all fours and barked like a dog in front of Tonan.

Seeing this scene, everyone who was lying on the ground not far away felt like the sky was falling.

"Your Majesty…"

"How can His Majesty be like this…"

"This is not His Majesty I know…"

The more Naraku barked, the more vigorous he became. He even shook his butt in front of Tonan. "Woof, woof, woof… sensei, look… I'm wagging my tail."

Tonan tapped on the armrest with his finger and remained silent for a long time, looking at Naraku's twinkling eyes.

Chapter 220: Downwind Nobleman, Headwind Villain

Uchiha Tonan wanted to control Naraku. He wanted to make him do several things such as create a religious sect, use monarchical power and gauge whether he could gain his acknowledgment through faith. Then, he would repeat his usual ways to nurture the believers whose acknowledgment he had gained.

But Naraku's current performance made him unsure whether to kill him or not. Seeing that Tonan was hesitant for a long time, Naraku's begging for mercy intensified. He put his head close to Tonan's feet and stuck out his tongue to lick his shoes. All along, he had a loyal and sincere look.

Tonan narrowed his eyes and he coldly said, "Tell me your worth." Naraku sat like a dog and said, "I found a miraculous potion. After taking a dose, you can refine chakra for a whole day without any side effects. It's just that this potion needs people and many have to be killed. But don't worry sensei, I can do it for you. In the past three years, whether they were innocent or guilty, I've killed at least three hundred thousand people. As long as you say the word, I can kill a million."

"Sensei, I guess you've also cultivated senjutsu. You must know it requires absorbing emotional powers. I've got a complete set of torture methods, tools, and a place to torture ten thousand people at a time. Like many little drops that make an ocean, you can cultivate senjutsu quickly. I've also plundered various kinds of prescriptions that can improve one's physique in all aspects."

Tonan replied indifferently, "These are useless to me." Hearing this, cold sweat flowed down Naraku's cheek and his eyes spun. He realized he absolutely couldn't make Tonan feel that he was worthless. Or else he would be buried here. So, he hastily said, "I also have used various methods to seize the secret techniques of various ninja organizations all over the Land of Fire. Even the inheritance treasure of the Senju clan, Senju Hashirama's scroll, is with me. I'll hand it over to you."

Having tossed out his clan heirloom but seeing Tonan was still unmoved, Naraku became very anxious. He hugged Tonan's thigh and wailed, "Boo, hoo… I know I was wrong but I've always regarded you as my second parent, sensei. Who told you to abandon me? My hatred toward you was born out of love. The more intimate love, the more poignant hate. Now, the hatred is vented and only the indestructible sensei-student relationship remains. I regret it very much. I shouldn't have taken action against you. I was truly inhuman."

Naraku slapped his already red and swollen cheeks fiercely. This slap was very hard, leaving behind five bluish fingerprints on his already red and swollen face. Slap… "Truly inhuman…" Slap… "Worse than beasts…" Slap…

Tonan kicked Naraku to the ground and said, "Stop acting, don't you hate me for lying to you and killing your father?" A hint of joy flashed through Naraku's eyes. He was not afraid of Tonan asking questions, but afraid of him not asking anything. For people such as these, if they were still willing to talk nonsense, it meant there was still a chance for salvation.

Naraku shook his head like a rattle drum. "No hate, not even a shred. You misunderstood me, sensei. Do you not know what kind of person I am? I'm a cold-blooded villain who is selfish with no feelings. What father-son relationship?"

"Besides, that old man was overbearingly taking the Daimyo throne. I wanted to kill him a long time ago. I just never had the guts. Fortunately, you gave me the chance, sensei. And you also found that scapegoat Shinnosuke. I've been grateful for your return, how can I hate you? How can I return kindness with enmity?"

Seeing that Naraku's words were completely incoherent, Tonan sighed, "It has been hard on you." After speaking, he began to make hand seals in front of him and then slowly moved his palm toward his head.

"Your Majesty!" Uekawa Ozora shouted from the distance. His faith had collapsed and his values were shattered. But as a loyal minister, he was concerned about his monarch's current plight. Naraku nervously looked at the palm that was about to touch his head. Then, he angrily yelled, "Why are you shouting? Sensei is sharing meager resources. He loves me like a father, he'll never harm me. What are you all worried about?"

Tonan pressed his palm on Naraku's head, but he didn't release the curse. He could feel that Naraku was trembling. "Sensei, if you abandon me, I'll be lonely. All my relatives are dead, not a single one left. If I die, Daimyo's bloodline will be cut off."

The corners of Tonan's mouth rose a little. He looked at the trembling Naraku and leisurely said, "You're afraid." Naraku's eyes were filled with blood but he forced himself to smile and replied in a hoarse voice, "Sensei's palm is still so warm. I'm happy now, it's just that my body trembles when I am happy…"

Tonan sneered. Then putting on a gentle smile, he said, "Open your heart and don't resist." After speaking, Tonan violently injected the curse into Naraku's mind. The latter's eyes were wide open and his body twitched on the ground like he was having an epileptic attack but his eyes didn't lose their spirit.

"Uh… uh…" Honestly speaking, Naraku's response was much better than any other person who received his curse seal before. Tonan suddenly thought of something. "The student surpasses the teacher." If he was truly a native of this world, then Naraku might be regarded as his successor.

Naraku's character was even better than his. Downwind Nobleman, Headwind Villain. A grand Daimyo and he could bark like a dog just to survive. When taking the oath, he didn't say a word about himself but staked the whole country. Tonan knew he couldn't do such things.

After fifteen minutes, Naraku was drenched like he was pulled out of water. When he realized he was not dead, he had an ecstatic look. At that time, Tonan leaned forward and whispered, "Looking at how obedient you are, as your sensei, I'm a bit reluctant to kill you. But to prevent you from being disobedient in the future, I put a little toy in your brain. You don't mind, right?"

Naraku's eyes shrank instinctively and then with a flattering smile, he said, "I don't mind, I'm fine with whatever you do." Tonan nodded and looked back at the people lying on the ground. He said, "I suddenly remember you seem to have guessed my true identity. This, however, is my biggest secret that only I know in this entire Ninja World. Since you're my student, it's fine if you know. But they…"

Hearing this, Naraku secretly took a deep breath and lowered his head quickly. He gnashed his teeth and said, "I understand." His movement was slightly slow this time as he made a hand seal. When the last hand sign was completed, he shouted, "Senjustu… Advent… of… Stone World." Rumble… The ground trembled violently as if a large amount of pent-up energy was about to be released.

Puff, puff, puff… A series of something piercing through flesh could be heard. In the entire Zhifu Mountain, countless stone spears protruded from the ground, penetrating all of Naraku's subordinates. Their corpses hung on the stone spears, eyes wide open. They died with terrified looks on their faces.

This move reminded Tonan of Kimimaro's Dance of the Seedling Fern. Satisfied with Naraku, he nodded and slowly stood up. He turned to walk toward the Fire Capital and said, "Let's go to a more private place. There's a mission I want to give you."

"Yes…," Naraku got up and glanced at Tonan's back. He wiped the corners of his eyes and put on a flattering smile on his face, following with small steps. Tonan suddenly stopped and turned his head back to look at Naraku.

Naraku subconsciously gulped and with a humble expression on his face, he asked, "Is there something you want me to deal with?" Looking concerned, Tonan replied, "I forced you to kill your trusted subordinates. I hope that you don't take it to heart."

Naraku cupped his hands and bowed slightly. He nodded and said, "Of course not, sensei. I'm the grand Daimyo. It's nothing more than killing a few dogs. This doesn't impact me at all. Besides, they had seen me just a moment ago. They already lost their respect for this me in their hearts. I too had to keep this a secret. Otherwise, how could I control my subordinates in the future?"

Tonan nodded with satisfaction. "That's right… very good… However, I still liked your rebellious look at that time." When Naraku heard Tonan's words, he straightened up and restrained the smile on his face. Tonan had a small smile on his face. He glanced quietly into the distance and turned his head back, walking towards the Fire Capital.

Chapter 221: Virtuous Sage Master, Divining Monarch Rights

At the Daimyo Residence in the Fire Capital, Uchiha Tonan sat on Naraku's seat, while the Daimyo himself knelt at one side and did the maid's work of preparing tea. In the Ninja World, both Tonan's and Naraku's strengths had already reached the ceiling during the time without Six Paths.

From now until the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Tonan needed to step behind the scenes and lay down the pieces to finally win the fruits of victory in one fell swoop. In addition, Konoha, after all, was a ninja village. It didn't lack any bloodline limit or ninjutsu. But a person's strength has many aspects. While it depended on chakra, physical strength, speed, and so on, the more important thing was to have insight and knowledge. This was also the reason why Tonan spared Naraku.

More importantly, a person's energy was limited, and only by controlling authority, he could seize more things. Just like Naraku, who became a kage-level powerhouse from an ordinary person by killing chickens and stealing eggs. "Sensei, please drink the tea," Naraku respectfully offered the teacup with both hands. Tonan nodded slightly and took it. After a sip, he said, "Tell me about your next plan. As your sensei, I can evaluate it for you."

With an innocent smile on his face, Naraku said, "You are making fun of me, sensei. My little tricks are not worth talking about in front of you. Whatever you say, I'll do." Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?" Naraku immediately bowed his head and replied, "You are benevolent, sensei."

Tonan chuckled and shook his head, "Alright, you don't have to act anymore. It's not that I can't see through you." Naraku suddenly looked anxious as if he had been greatly wronged, "Sensei, you've truly misunderstood me. I just wanted to demonstrate my sincerity, and prove…"

Tonan impatiently stretched out his hand to signal him to shut up and then lightly said, "Do you still recall the fortune I divined for you back then?" Naraku frowned and thought carefully. After a long time, seeing that couldn't remember, Tonan picked up the cup again.

Taking a sip of the tea, he said, "I possess the qi reading technique and all creations in this world have qi. And you, you've got the qi of a purple star on your forehead. This is the most central star in the starry sky and it's surrounded by many stars. It's the so-called emperor star. If no extraordinary external force blocked your path, you'll be able to sweep across the eight wastelands and unify the world."

Naraku finally remembered. Tonan did say this to him before but ever since he realized Tonan's real identity, he thought this was his way of fooling him and had long forgotten these words. Now that Tonan mentioned it again, Naraku felt that he was trying to deceive him again but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

As he hesitated, Tonan snorted and put down the teacup heavily on the table. "Do you think that you were worthy of this malevolent spirit of the Ninja World lying to you back then?"

Naraku smiled, "Sensei, I'm not interested in power or anything else now. All I want is to accompany you and serve you well." Tonan gently turned the teacup with his finger and asked, "Do you know what my goal is?"

"Konoha? Ninja World?" With Naraku's knowledge, he could only think so far. Tonan shook his head with disdain and stared straight into Naraku's eyes, "Beyond the Six Path Sage, becoming a true God."

Naraku was dumbfounded but he didn't take Tonan's words seriously. He felt that Tonan was talking big in front of him, filled with an old man's nonsense. But now that his life was under his control, regardless of how nonsensical Tonan's words were, Naraku could only pretend to believe it was true and nod repeatedly.

He had a look of amazement to satisfy the old man's vanity. Tonan tapped on the table with his finger and continued, "But the gods can't interfere with the affairs of the human world, which is not beneficial to the Ninja World's development. Therefore, I need someone to take charge of this world for me and I just happened to have met you at the right time."

The look of amazement on Naraku's face was replaced with one of pleasant surprise and his entire body trembled. "In any case, this old man cannot live in the Fire Capital all the time. As long as I serve him properly now… after he left, I could find a way to remove the curse seal in my mind. Then, I can secretly accumulate strength and make a counterattack."

In Tonan's eyes, Naraku's exaggerated expression was very fake. "This guy seems to be much smarter than before. It's not easy to deceive him." Tonan took a breath and said in a deep voice, "I already told you not to act again. When people hear such good news, they don't smile and tremble. Most become dumbfounded. Therefore, I know that in your heart you think that I'm lying."

Naraku's smile stiffened. "It's quite difficult to curse him even in my heart." But he smiled brightly again, "No, I thought it was a bit weird but since it's your dream, as long as I can help, I'll do my best."

Tonan nodded slightly and said, "You need to understand only two things. First is the divine right of the monarch. And second is that gods bless common people and they should be pious in return."

After explaining, Tonan stretched out his finger and pointed at the ground, "Carve a good image according to my mold. Then, let your soldiers believe in worshipping this image. If you find talent in any trades and professions, or people with special strength, you can accept them as well. Then, use resources to cultivate these pious people. Remember, you must not spread this without my consent."

Naraku hadn't expected that Tonan would be doing this for real. He nodded repeatedly and asked, "Then, what should be the god's name? Which one of your names should I use?" After all, for Naraku, the current Tonan was Uchiha Madara. He was still wondering how Madara was reborn.

Tonan touched his chin and began to think carefully. It was unknown whether this would work or not to gain acknowledgment through faith. But there was a foundation for this approach. That was the so-called belief acknowledgment. And the most extreme way of belief acknowledgment was faith. Faith was not just believing in Tonan himself but acknowledging his ideology.

If possible, he would prefer to use Abe Seimei's image but for insurance, Tonan asked Naraku to carve a statue in his image. "First, call it the Great Virtuous Sage Master. I'll write a book with many of my ideologies and thoughts in it. At that time, let these people recite it day and night, i.e. brainwashing. I'm sure you understood what I mean."

Naraku nodded, "I understand."

Chapter 222: Inciting War, Disposing Spy

Uchiha Tonan nodded with satisfaction and drank tea from his cup. He suddenly asked, "Is there a war soon?" Naraku straightened up and picked up the teapot on the table, carefully refilling Tonan's teacup, as he replied, "I've been preparing for a long time but I wonder if you have any specific thoughts, sensei. If you want a war to happen, it can be done right away. If you are unwilling, I can suppress the early signs."

Tonan tapped his finger on the table repeatedly and said with an inexplicable look, "The sooner the better. Without me, you'll not be able to unify the Ninja World no matter how hard you try. In this world, many experts are lurking in the dark. You do your work first and I'll make some notes for you tonight. Tomorrow, I'll return to Konoha."

Hearing Tonan's words, a hint of happiness flashed through Naraku's eyes, who had his head lowered. He put down the teapot and respectfully picked up the teacup for Tonan, "I'll immediately ensure the work is done as per your instructions. Please have some tea, sensei."

A quarter of an hour later, the Daimyo Residence made two announcements to the outside world via all kinds of channels.

The first was about the Honorary Chunin Competition.

The participants from the four great ninja villages joined hands with Fire Capital's rebel officials and tried to take the Daimyo hostage. Their nefarious plan was thwarted though because Konoha's participant Uchiha Tonan and Daimyo's trusted subordinates killed them all.

The Daimyo was infuriated and declared that the Land of Fire would stop trading with the other four great countries.

The second announcement was that the Daimyo Residence issued a new currency. The ratio of the new currency and old currency was one to ten thousand. And only the new currency could purchase food, salt, and other important materials through official channels. The currency exchange channels in the other four great countries were also closed.

Daimyo's first announcement was primarily to give a legitimate reason for the second one. Once this was in effect, the four great countries wouldn't be able to survive without starting a war.

Summer just began. Because of the Daimyo Residence's previous economic warfare, a large part of the food supply and other necessities of the other four great nations was already purchased. The inflation had induced them to plant cash crops.

Now, the fields were full of inedible crops and the money they had couldn't purchase food and other necessities. They were not left with many options. The countries might be able to last only till autumn next year if they were to rely on the stored grains of the Daimyo Residences and ninja villages. The conservative estimate would be eighteen months.

In such a situation, launching a war was the only way. They would likely join hands to defeat Konoha, forcing Naraku to withdraw the new currency policy and compensate with food and other materials. Naturally, if the higher-ups of the countries had water in their brains and chose to endure it, that would be even better for Naraku and Tonan's scheme.

At that time, the entire country would suffer from poverty, and Naraku's great cause of unifying the Ninja World would be one step closer. In fact, in Naraku's original plan, Tonan and the participants of the other four great nations should have all died. Then, there would be an announcement that Tonan died in action to protect His Majesty, the Daimyo.

Unfortunately, Naraku severely miscalculated Tonan's strength. Just like Yakushi Kabuto in the original work who underestimated Uchiha Madara's strength during his peak. He could only blame his inexperience for this.

Late at night, the Zhifu Mountain battlefield was cleared of the corpses that the Daimyo Residence's soldiers had buried. Only a tall stone spear was left standing on the flat ground. The moon was almost as round as a silver plate shining bright in the clear sky.

Moonlight sprinkled on the ground, reflecting the stone spear with a dull shimmering light. There were still some trees at the edge of the battlefield though a large tree's trunk appeared slightly twisted. When a curtain moved, it revealed a deep hole in the trunk.

Someone had used a curtain to conceal the tree hole and hide in it. A ninja wearing a cat-faced mask cautiously came out and glanced around. He turned into a black shadow and ran toward the center of the forest. This cat-faced masked ninja was an Anbu member under Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In recent days, the Daimyo Residence had caught both Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's Anbu and Root members. Once they were exposed, they were useless and became mere messengers between Konoha and the Daimyo Residence.

In this regard, Hiruzen and Danzo had no choice but to suffer in silence. After all, the Daimyo was the legitimate ruler and it was Konoha that made the mistake of planting spies. Fortunately, Naraku pretended to be magnanimous and didn't punish Konoha.

But was magnanimous a word to describe Naraku? He was preparing to launch a war and make Konoha go to fight with the other four great ninja villages. The lives of these spies were mere pawns, not worthy of his time.

Only this spy who was hiding deep in the mountain forest was not discovered by the Daimyo Residence yet. When Naraku and Tonan were fighting, he hid in the tree hole and watched the entire process. At that time, his shock was indescribable because the battle between the two had surpassed his knowledge of a ninja's strengths.

In particular, Naraku revealed Tonan's 'true' identity, which he said was Madara. This was a big secret, and as an Anbu spy, he must pass this information back to Konoha. To avoid being discovered, he waited until late at night to come out of the tree hole.

Suddenly, the fleeing spy stopped and dodged behind a tree. Coo coo… In the sky, a large flock of white pigeons whistled through. The spy held his breath completely. At this time, he would even avoid ordinary animals if he could. After the white pigeons flew far away, he stuck his head out and looked over.

He saw that the forest ahead was cut off by the railway. In other words, the entire railway was not covered by trees, and it was completely exposed to the cold moonlight. This made him instinctively feel insecure.

"Should I write the information and make a summoning beast carry it back?" The spy thought this but immediately rejected the idea. It was still too close to the Fire Capital and hence dangerous to stay for even one more second.

After taking a deep breath, he accelerated his pace, turning into a black shadow, and quickly crossed the railway. However, just after crossing the railway and entering the dense forest, he frowned.

Just now… it looked like there was a white figure on the railway line. The spy subconsciously gulped and looked back through the gap between the trees. In his sight, the railway was cut into dozens of sections.

"No… No… No… It seems I was scaring myself," the spy sighed in relief and prepared to continue running into the distance. He turned around but was startled silly. He saw Tonan in a white robe standing in front of him. Tonan didn't seem to be in a hurry and was leisurely tying the belt of his night robe as quietly said, "You are in such a hurry. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

The spy replied in a relaxed tone, "Tonan-sama, I didn't expect to meet you here. I just came from Konoha. I'm going to the enemy country to carry out a mission."

Tonan chuckled and patted the spy's shoulder, "You've quite a stable mentality as an Anbu. But if you're exposed, you're exposed, it's not such a big deal. In the next life, opt for a better career."

Immediately after Tonan spoke, the Anbu thrust his kunai toward Tonan's chest. Ding! The sound of metal colliding was heard and not even a scratch was seen on Tonan, who flicked his right hand toward his rear.

Puff… Bang… Tonan's air bullet shot through a tree in the rear. And a corpse fell straight to the ground. At the same time, the spy in front of him turned into a cloud of white smoke. It was just a shadow clone.

Tonan made a hand seal and used Dark Swamp Technique, swallowing the spy's corpse. Then his body also turned into white smoke and disappeared as well.

Tonan, who was wielding his brush furiously at the Daimyo Residence, paused slightly and put down the brush in his hand. He looked down at the loose belt on his night robe. "It seems it was just a small fry."

He reached out his hands to fasten his belt and then picked up the pen to continue to write.

Chapter 223: Deep Sensei-Student Feelings, Loath To Part

Early the next morning, the red sun jumped out of the morning fog and myriads of sunlight lit up the river flowing in the distance of the Fire Capital. It also dyed the fog scarlet as it gradually dissipated and the world became clearer.

In the Fire Capital, numerous city guards were dispatched to close the path from the Daimyo Residence to the railway station. Accompanied by Naraku, Uchiha Tonan arrived at the railway station. Under the Daimyo's signal, a group of city guards barricaded the railway station, setting aside a separate space for the two of them.

Both sensei and student walked onto the platform and stopped simultaneously in a tacit understanding. Tonan took Naraku's hand and placed it in his. He patted the back of Naraku's hand and earnestly said, "Naraku, for your and my great cause, you must work hard for a while. If you face any trouble, feel free to tell me."

Naraku placed his hand on the back of Tonan's and replied looking reluctant, "Sensei, you and I just reunited but I never thought our time to part will come so soon. I am very reluctant. I can't wait to pass down the Daimyo position and go to Konoha to be filial to you. Alas, one can only say that gods play with people, and people don't have the freedom to act independently."

Naraku took out two small scrolls from his bosom and added, "Sensei, there was not much time and this is a small token of respect from your student. Please accept it. I hope you won't dislike it."

Tonan glanced at the scrolls and asked with a confused look, "What is this?" Naraku held one scroll in each hand and raised the one in his left hand. "There are five hundred chakra potions in this scroll. During this time, the Daimyo Residence's resources are exhausted by seventy to eighty percent. I could only gather enough to make five hundred pieces."

He then raised the scroll in his right hand and said, "This scroll records the Senju clan's secret technique. According to legend, Nidaime Hokage created this during the Warring States Period. It's called strength nin-taijutsu. It can control and concentrate the chakra in the body to greatly improve physical strength and power. The technique on Senju Hashirama's scroll is passed down from the ninja sect era and there is no other record of it."

Naraku handed over these two scrolls to Tonan. He took them and weighed them in his hand, nodding in satisfaction, "You are rarely so considerate. Since you have given me these gifts, I must reciprocate. Although the curse mark in your mind has certain restraints on you, it can greatly improve your talent. It's my first gift to you."

Hearing this, crystal-clear tears flowed from Naraku's eyes as he said, "So that's the case… I'm so grateful, sensei."

Tonan stuffed the scrolls into the ninja bag and smiled lightly, "Don't be moved so quickly, there's a second gift." As he spoke, a white pigeon landed on his shoulder. Tonan gently stroked its soft feathers. "I can't always accompany you but I'm worried to leave you alone. I've raised this pet for many years. It's well-behaved and understands human nature. Today, I'll give it to you and it will accompany you day and night in my place."

As if to prove a point, the white pigeon flew over from Tonan and landed on Naraku's shoulder. Naraku looked at it and said with admiration, "Anyone can see at a glance that this is an awesome pigeon, it's extraordinary. It is too precious. I'm unworthy of this gift."

"Alright, it's getting late. I must go now. Take good care of yourself. Also, take good care of this little fellow. If something happens to it, I'll be very angry." Tonan smiled gently as he patted Naraku's shoulder and then turned and walked towards the end of the railway station.

Naraku stood there and looked at his back with tears in his eyes. "Sensei, if you miss me, come and visit the Fire Capital often. If you are short on money, send me a letter and I'll collect enough for you. The battlefields are dangerous, don't go if you don't want to. If Hiruzen pushes you, don't hold back and tell me. Even if I'm not a good Daimyo, I'll fight to the end for you. Take care, sensei!"

After a while, Tonan boarded the train carriage. Sekiya Ichikaze had been waiting in the driver's cabin for a long time. He placed his hands on his knees and bowed deeply, "Tonan-sama, are you leaving?"

Tonan nodded, "Yes, it's time to depart." He went inside to randomly pick a window seat and sat down. Choo-choo, wu wu… Thick white smoke rose from the roof of the train as it slowly drove out of the station.

Naraku stood on the platform, watching it go away. After it was completely out of sight, his face returned to a cold expression and he narrowed his eyes a little, looking gloomy.

Half an hour later at the Daimyo Residence, Naraku sat upright, and his only remaining confidant, Punishment Minister Yamamoto Takuro, was kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of ninja organizations from all over the Land of Fire. Do you want to choose the new twelve guardian ninjas?"

Naraku waved his hand indifferently and said, "No, I'll nurture them myself. Leave the information and you all can go out."

Takuro quickly got up and made all the maids and guards leave the hall, closing the door behind him. Only the hall was empty, the pent-up anger in Naraku's heart exploded. He clenched his fists tightly and punched the table in front of him a few times. "Old bastard! I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Naraku's forehead was full of blue veins and his eyes were bloodshot, looking very scary. Suddenly, he felt like someone was watching him and from the corner of his eyes, he caught the white pigeon standing on the beam, staring at him curiously.

To his despair, the pigeon's eyes were scarlet. Moreover, the familiar three tomoe were spinning slowly. Naraku took a deep breath. Trembling all over, he smashed the armrest with a slap and gritted his teeth. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, if you dare to go against my sensei, I'll chop you and feed you to the dogs!"

Immediately afterward, he shouted with a hoarse voice, "Guards… guards!" The door was pushed open and Takuro hastily rushed in and knelt on the ground in panic. "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

Naraku swallowed a mouthful of saliva and saw that the three tomoe had disappeared from the pigeon's eyes. His lips had become a little pale as he said in a hoarse voice, "I want to read a book. Go and fetch the scrolls and books of fire style, earth style, water style, lightning style, sealing, and body techniques."

"Yes." Takuro staggered on his feet and ran outside.

"Wait a moment." Naraku suddenly stopped Takuro, who was about to run outside, and said with a stiff smile on his face, "Also bring top-quality ninja beast feed, and send two maids to serve my pet around the clock."

Takuro glanced at the white pigeon on the roof beam and without asking more questions, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Chapter 224.1: Strange Strength, Investing In Sekiya

Closer to the plains near the Fire Capital, soft clouds floated in the sky like wisps of smoke. Only two days ago, the nation entered the early summer season. And there had been no rain recently, so the earth had gradually become very hot.

The hot wind that rushed in from the window blew the ends of Uchiha Tonan's hair, making it a little messy. His physique was far superior to ordinary people. Although it was unbearably hot outside, he didn't feel much. He quietly read the strength nin-taijutsu scroll that was spread out on the table.

By now even Tonan was not clear on how many ninjutsu he knew. Even the so-called Professor, Sarutobi Hiruzen, might not necessarily know more ninjutsu than Tonan. But most of these were useless to the current Tonan. Because the effects of these were overlapping. He had learned so much that this could be called a natural outcome.

It was mainly to gain a deeper understanding of the principles of ninjutsu. So that when he encountered practical advanced ninjutsu, he could master it quickly. Just like this strange strength nin-taijutsu currently placed in front of him.

The monstrous strength nin-taijutsu was created by Senju Tobirama, and Senju Tsunade was the one who truly developed this technique. Tsunade was smitten with this monstrous strength nin-taijutsu mainly because it could be combined with her own Yin Seal and Strength of a Hundred Technique.

After all, people's energy was limited and they needed to take the route that suits them. But Uchiha Tonan wasn't among them. He was the kind of person who took all good things in one fell swoop.

After he finished reading the scroll, he gently raised his right hand and used his mind to control the chakra within his body to flow along special meridians and acupoints. He finally gathered this on his palm. In an instant, he felt that his right hand seemed to have become infinitely powerful, and power was ignited in his body as if he possessed the power to crush everything.

It was just that he was on the train now, and he wasn't stupid enough to test the impact here. Suddenly, Sekiya Ichikaze opened the driver's cabin door and the heat wave blew in. The extremely hot weather, coupled with the proximity to the boiler, made the driver's cabin much hotter than the rest of the carriages.

Ichikaze was drenched as if he was pulled out of water. He hastily closed the door to prevent the heat wave from affecting Tonan. He nodded apologetically and then quickly passed through the corridor and walked towards the rear carriage.

Not long after, Ichikaze walked over to Tonan with a slightly sumptuous meal and put it down. "Tonan-sama, it's time for lunch. These are the only things on the train. If you want to eat anything, let me know. And I'll stop to buy it at the next station."

There were various kinds of food on the plate. It was already a good meal. It was clear that Ichikaze had put a lot of thought into it. Tonan looked at the food on the plate. He stretched out his hand and took off his glasses, putting them aside. "No need, I'm not a picky eater. But this is too much. I can't finish it by myself. You can also sit down and eat it together."

Ichikaze quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I brought my bento as well."

Tonan smiled a little and said, "Sit down, you don't need to be polite with me. Come and chat with me."

Ichikaze looked a little embarrassed but he agreed. "Alright, then," he sat down opposite Tonan. Tonan saw that there was only one pair of chopsticks and his mind moved. A rock flew over from outside the window and fell onto his palm.

In the next moment, the rock's shape changed, and it turned into a pair of stone chopsticks. The heat wave blowing in from outside the window blew against Tonan and Ichikaze.

Tonan seemed to be fine but Ichikaze was different. He wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead with his uniform sleeve and smiled at Tonan. Tonan also had a smile. He wiped the stone chopsticks with a tissue and handed them over to Ichikaze.

"This work seems like a tough job." Ichikaze respectfully took the stone chopsticks and said, "It's a bit harder in summer but I can get through it. Is ninjutsu so amazing?" He was a little surprised by what Tonan had just done. It was an eye-opener for him.

Tonan smiled a little and picked up his chopsticks. He took a small bite and chewed it properly. "What do you usually do besides driving?"

Ichikaze smiled forcibly and said, "I study books. After all, this thing has just come out and no one knows whether it will still be used in the future. I've to open a few more paths for myself."

Under Tonan's watchful eyes, he picked up the stone chopsticks and took a bite of green vegetables, chewing slowly. Tonan nodded and said, "I like to read books too. Expanding knowledge is a good thing for everyone. Are you interested in becoming a ninja?"

Perhaps because Tonan changed the topic quickly Ichikaze was stunned for a moment. He didn't dare speak. After a pause, all he said was, "Me?" It was a pleasant thought but Ichikaze lowered his eyes and shook his head. "I heard one needs the talent to be a ninja. I don't think I have it."

Eating his food, Tonan lightly replied, "What is talent? Physique, character, and intellect to explore things. This is talent. However, these things can be changed."

Chapter 224.2: Strange Strength, Investing In Sekiya

To Sekiya Ichikaze's question on talent, Uchiha Tonan casually replied, "What is talent? Physique, character, and intellect to explore things. This is talent. However, these things can be changed."

Ichikaze frowned and asked in a low voice, "Tonan-sama, do you mean to change through hard work?"

Tonan chuckled and shook his head. He explained, "Hard work? What is hard work? I've seen a pair of father and son whose talent is very poor but in everyone's eyes, they work harder than anyone else. Their daily training routine is terrifying. But that's not hard work… that's more like self-motivation or self-hypnosis. They can endure physical pain but not mental pain. As I said, talent is about physique, character, and the way of thinking or the intellect to explore things."

"People like these blindly pursue physical fitness. Of course, it pays off. But in this world, even a single household is diverse. When people find themselves working hard but not getting the expected reward, they should reconsider whether they are on the right path or not. There are many powerhouses and each can be used as a reference to understand one's shortcomings."

"But most people choose to ignore it. I admit that the saying, what suits you the best, is correct. But some people tried and learned other things. They guard their little things even more and use these words to comfort themselves. It's a path to death." After speaking so much, and seeing that Ichikaze seemed to be listening to him intently, Tonan took a sip of tea and continued.

"You already have two important distinct things for talent. Character and your way of thinking, which is your intellect. A steady character is always more suitable for survival in this world than a transcendent character. As for the way of thinking, it's the exact opposite. You've already achieved these two."

"While you are at ease, you are still thinking about continuously enriching yourself with the knowledge to change yourself. People always instinctively want to change others to change the world, but it's difficult to calm down and introspect. This is human nature but it is also what shackles growth. Only the people who are mature and sensible enough can break through their shackles."

Hearing this, Ichikaze frowned, "Why do people create such shackles for themselves?" Tonan sighed and replied, "Without these, when a person's character is not mature enough, he'll go crazy. You may have noticed while meeting people that some refuse to admit their mistakes even if you point them out clearly."

"The truth is that they already know they are wrong but they can't break through the shackles in their hearts. But some people might frown and think it over and will eventually admit that they were wrong. Self-denial is human nature but reason can suppress this nature."

Ichikaze nodded and stared at Tonan with admiration on his face. He said, "Every time I meet you, Tonan-sama, I learn new things that I cannot learn at any other time or from anyone else. These words are truly thought-provoking."

Tonan smiled slightly and wiped his mouth with a tissue. "Ninjas can be said to be the highest stratum in this world. You are one step away from becoming a ninja, and that is physique. I can help you with this aspect."

A hint of joy flashed through Ichikaze's face but he frowned again and solemnly replied, "Tonan-sama, it was only because of you last time that I was able to become a new person. But I cannot simply go on accepting your kindness like this."

Tonan chuckled and shook his head, "You were willing to wait for me in the Fire Capital for so long. I want to express my gratitude to you as well. Don't be embarrassed. It'll be easier to pay me back when you are stronger."

Ichikaze nodded vigorously and said, "Tonan-sama, thank you. You are truly a good person." Hearing Ichikaze's words, Tonan's smile became brighter and brighter. He waved his hand toward him and said, "Come here."

Ichikaze leaned forward immediately and approached him. "Be patient, it will hurt a bit." After giving a casual warning, Tonan placed his right hand on his head. Ichikaze's eyes widened instantly and he slammed back on the seat. He covered his head with his hands and began to twitch under severe pain, wailing and screaming. "Uh… ah!"

Tonan shook his head and glanced at the unfinished meal in front of him. He raised his chopsticks and gracefully ate. Ichikaze had already acknowledged him. Moreover, since the person wanted to repay, he would obviously give Ichikaze a chance. It can even be considered an early investment.

He hoped that Ichikaze would become a dark horse, dying the whole path red. Half an hour later, Ichikaze leaned back on the seat, gasping for breath. His dry and cracked lips trembled slightly and he asked in an inaudible voice, "Tonan-sama, do I already… have a ninja's physique?"

At this time, Tonan had finished his meal and was drinking tea while looking out of the window. Hearing Ichikaze's voice, he turned around.

Pushing the things in front of him to Ichikaze, he said, "These ten chakra potions and this secret technique are for you. I hope that when we meet again in the future, you'll impress me. When you feel that your strength has reached genin level, become a vagrant ninja. A war is about to start. Be careful and don't lose your life."

Hearing his words, Ichikaze stared at the things on the table with a fanatic gaze. He knew that from today onwards, his destiny had changed. He was no longer an ordinary person who ran around for a living. Everything was because of the kindness of the man in front of him.

Ichikaze forcibly supported his weak body and walked over. He knelt to Tonan and kowtowed three times showing his gratitude. "Thank you, Tonan-sama."

Chapter 225: Prelude To War, Returning To Village

Five days later, on the path shaded with trees near Konoha, Uchiha Tonan walked leisurely towards a quiet and peaceful courtyard, ignoring the passing ninjas. Outside Konoha's barrier, a group of ninjas was pouring out like a school of fish.

Hyuga Hizashi and the clan's patriarch Hyuga Hiashi were standing outside the barrier. Hizashi had activated his Byakugan to examine each of the ninjas exiting the village while continually yelling out commands. "Quick, quick, quick, jonin are to bring light supplies and gather at the border first… chunin and genin are to follow behind without consuming too much physical strength. Be careful not to fall behind alone."

"All the intelligence agents, spread out… if enemy spies are found, immediately send a signal, don't engage in battle."

"Return and ask the medical team what's going on. Our team is going to resist Suna. Why are the antidote supplies so limited?"

Tonan arrived at the village gate and smiled at Hiashi. He asked in a pleasant tone, "Hiashi-sama, have we already begun a war against Suna?" Hiashi glanced at Tonan. Although the Hyugas and the Uchihas were perennially against each other, considering Tonan's incredible record, a slightly warm smile couldn't help appearing on Hiashi's otherwise emotionless face.

He replied, "Yes, according to our intel, Suna has formed an alliance with Iwa and their main force is already about to reach the Land of Rain border. They plan to infiltrate from the Kikyo Mountain between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire."

Tonan nodded, "It seems that the Hyuga clan is commanding this battle." Hiashi solemnly replied, "As Konoha's large clans, Hyuga and Ino–Shika–Cho must stand on the front line. Hizashi is the commander to resist Suna and Ino is in charge of resisting Iwa. As for the Uchihas, they were arranged to guard the coastline the day before yesterday to fight against Kiri."

A small, nearly unnoticeable smile formed on Tonan's lips. He was not surprised that Sarutobi Hiruzen had arranged the forces in this order. He asked, "I wonder who is the commander on the battlefront with Kumo."

After all, without Konoha Sannin, there were not many people who could assume such a heavy responsibility. The optimum choice was Tonan himself but the war had just begun and the outcome was unpredictable. Hiruzen feared that Tonan would make significant military achievements, thereby threatening his position.

"The main force consists of the Sarutobi and the Shimura clan. Jonin Namikaze Minato is the commander. As for the exact situation, Hokage-sama will tell you when you meet him face to face." Tonan nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Then, I'll let you return to your work now."

Tonan stepped into the barrier and walked towards the Hokage Residence. Behind, Hizashi, who was responsible for inspecting things, couldn't help walking over and asking Hiashi, "Patriarch, you seem to value the Uchiha kid very much."

Hiashi, who was still looking at Tonan's departing back, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Kid? I'm afraid you wouldn't dare call him that after the war is over. Do you feel he reminds you of a particular person?"

Hearing Hiashi's words, Hizashi raised his head and stared at Tonan's back as well. Tonan felt the Byakugan's probe but he only paused his steps and didn't look back. Seeing him so vigilant, Hizashi looked away hastily.

After all, it was impolite to inspect others with Byakugan. He lowered his head and whispered, "Orochimaru." Hiashi nodded and then shook his head again, solemnly saying, "I'm not very clear who resembles who though."

In front of the Hokage Residence, Hiruzen was giving a pre-war speech to a batch of troops who were about to enter the battlefield. "You must always remember the Will of Fire. In front of you, is the battlefield. And behind you, are your families and friends. They are waiting for you in the village…"

Suddenly, there was a small commotion at the back of the troops. The crowd immediately made a way, every ninja bowed respectfully…

"Tonan-sama."

"Tonan-sama."

Tonan smiled and nodded toward them one by one. He leisurely walked towards the front of the troops and raised his head. He stared at Hiruzen who was wearing the Hokage robe. Hiruzen took a deep breath and with a kind smile on his face, said, "Tonan, you're back."

Facing Hiruzen, Tonan didn't show any respect and lightly asked, "What arrangements have you made for me in this war, Hokage-sama?"

Hiruzen was irritated by Tonan's attitude but at this moment, he could only suppress it. He replied, "The Suna and Iwa troops have gathered at the Land of Rain border, ready to break through and enter the Land of Fire. The battlefield on that side has the greatest pressure. Everyone knows your strength, so I've arranged you under Ino's command."

Tonan nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, that means I'm not going to the battlefield with my clan members." Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed out, "The greater the strength, the greater the responsibility."

Tonan nodded, "I understand, but I need a day to be ready to leave."

"This is a matter of urgency. I hope you won't miss the war." Hiruzen pretended to be majestic and took the opportunity to test Tonan. But Tonan was fearless. He wouldn't let Hiruzen ride his head and tyrannically abuse power. With an indifferent look on his face, he quietly stared back. The two continued this for a long time.

In the end, considering the overall situation, Hiruzen gave up first. He took the initiative to give Tonan a ladder to step down. "Take care of your personal affairs as soon as possible. Let me know if you need anything."

Tonan smiled lightly, "You don't need to worry, Hokage-sama. It's just a small matter." After speaking, he turned around and left. Soon after, Tonan reached Uzumaki Kushina's residence.

As the Nine Tails' jinchuriki, the courtyard where she lived was not inferior to the Hatake household. Tonan could remember that the house where Naruto lived in the original work was Minato's small room on the second floor.

It seemed that Hiruzen had confiscated their large courtyards. Tonan lightly knocked on the door. Soon, Kushina, holding Hatake Kotoura, came and opened the door. The moment she saw Tonan, a pleasant surprise flashed through her face.

She wanted to greet Tonan, but Kotoura, who was in her arms, beat her to it. "Baba!" Perhaps Kotoura was a little too excited. His voice was sharp. He reached out his hands as if he wanted Tonan to hug him. Tonan's face was filled with a doting look. He gently rubbed Kotoura's head and then looked at Kushina, "Kushina-senpai, have Minato-sensei and the others already set off?"

Kushina nodded, "Yes, he left yesterday. Kakashi and others followed as well. Come in and let's talk."

Tonan shook his head and said, "No, I just came to exchange some words. I'm leaving for the battlefield immediately. During my absence, please help me take care of the welfare institution."

Kushina assured him immediately, "No problem." Tonan smiled and took out a storage scroll from his ninja bag. He handed it over to Kushina and said, "Please take this money. If you find orphans and elderly people, arrange for them to stay in the welfare institution."

Kushina took the scroll and muttered in confusion, "What is this…" Tonan adjusted his glasses and answered, "It's five hundred thousand in the new currency. It should be enough."

When Kushina heard it, her eyes widened and her mouth was left open. "Doesn't that mean it's equivalent to five billion…" Tonan nodded and said, "It's a reward from the Daimyo."

"Oh, I heard that you saved the Daimyo." Kushina carefully stored the scroll. Although she never had to worry about eating and drinking since childhood, she had never seen such a large sum of money. Five billion, how many S-ranked missions was that worth?

"Then, I'll leave now. Time is a bit pressing." After explaining, Tonan stretched out his hand to pinch Kotoura's chubby cheek. He then turned away without any sense of reluctance or care.

Kushina looked at Tonan's back view and shouted, "Tonan, you must be careful on the battlefield." Tonan's footsteps paused slightly. He nodded without looking back, "Got it."

Chapter 226: Calling Out Strategy, Sowing Discord Again

Half an hour later, at the Hokage Rock Platform, the azure sky was clear with some clouds and small birds occasionally streaked across. There were countless fallen leaves. The gentle breeze blew the trees on the summit as leaves slowly floated down forming a pile on the ground.

Uchiha Tonan came to the fence and closed his eyes. He stretched out his arms in pleasure and took a deep breath. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the busy pedestrians in the streets below.

Shimura Danzo, who had been waiting there for a long time, tapped his finger on the railing and said, "The war came faster than I expected."

Tonan slightly leaned forward and placed his elbows on the railing. He leisurely said, "What should come will always come. The longer the calmness, the more violent the explosion."

Danzo glanced at Tonan and said, "You don't seem to be very worried about Konoha's plight. The four great nations are besieging the Land of Fire this time. Over the past few years, we've lost many of our top combat powers. I, too, can feel the pressure rising."

Tonan chuckled, "Hokage-sama is not worried. Why would I, a mere chunin, worry?" Danzo hesitated for a moment and said, "Your ninja rank has been promoted to jonin again. Now that it's wartime, Hiruzen has a far greater authority to speak than me. Because of your existence, he specially made the Uchiha clan attack Kiri. The entire coastline is a defensive line. Coupled with the ninjutsu restraint, the Uchihas can only adopt a defensive strategy. It will be difficult for them to make military achievements."

Tonan narrowed his eyes and said, "And he transferred me to Ino's command making the Uchihas lose their high-leveled combat power. No matter how many military achievements I get in the Land of Rain, the commander will get the credit. If it's a win, then Nara Shikaku's command was excellent. But if it's a loss, then I, the person below him, was not strong enough or performed poorly. Hokage-sama's scheme is good. As long as Konoha survives, his position will be stronger."

"If Konoha wins against Iwa, the military achievement goes to Shikaku. Against Suna, it goes to the Hyuga clan, and against Kumo, the achievement goes to Minato-sensei. Ino-Shika-Cho and the Hyuga clan are Hokage-sama's loyal supporters. Even though Minato-sensei has a good relationship with me, he is loyal to Hokage-sama. It's very well arranged, isn't it?"

Danzo remained silent for a while. Ordinary ninjas didn't think too much about these things. Even if they knew that there was a problem with the strategy of the Uchiha clan fighting against Kiri, it was also known that the clan was disliked in the village. No one would stand up for them.

Regardless of ninjas or common people, most were willing to see the Uchihas fall. Hiruzen made a simple plan, which let him hold an invincible position. Danzo took a deep breath and looked at Tonan, "Although I cannot deal with Hiruzen, I don't want to see you do things that are not beneficial to Konoha. After the war is over, I'm willing to fight for the benefits that the Uchiha clan should get."

Tonan sneered on hearing this. He looked at Danzo with a strange expression, "Danzo-sama, you seem to have mistaken something. What I care about is Konoha, not Uchiha. Most of the Uchiha clan members are unruly. I've never thought about fighting for their benefit. My heart consists of the entire Konoha and not just any one clan."

Danzo was overjoyed hearing this because he hated the Uchiha clan very much. But due to his relationship with Tonan, he restrained the animosity in his heart. However, he had never thought that Tonan had no sense of belonging to the Uchihas at all. This was too good for him. A rare smile appeared on his face and he said, "Tonan, I truly didn't misjudge you."

Tonan looked at the scenery below and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Danzo-sama, even if Konoha doesn't lose this war, it will suffer a big loss. There is obviously something wrong with Hokage-sama's strategic arrangement but no one asked about it. But if the loss is too big, someone needs to bear the responsibility."

After Tonan's reminder, Danzo seemed to have grasped a key point. He muttered, "You mean…" Sometimes, one doesn't need to spell it out for people to understand. Tonan raised his palm and caught a fluttering leaf. He brought it near his nose and smelled it. "At that time, I'll fully support you to become the Fourth Hokage."

Danzo felt a crack opening in his heart and his breathing was a little rapid. "Do you have any requests?" Tonan spread out his hands and said, "Why are you saying such words? Everything I do is for Konoha's prosperity and stability. Am I the kind of person who won't lift a finger unless there's something in it for me?"

Danzo raised his eyebrows, not knowing what to say. He couldn't call Tonan selfish because whether it was the contents of his diary or his actions, no one could find fault in it. But if he said Tonan was not selfish, he wouldn't believe it either.

After all, Tonan's knowledge and schemes were not something ordinary ninjas could compare. Danzo didn't imagine for a second that an intelligent person would be selfless and fearless. Regardless of everything, people also have thoughts.

Seeing Danzo not speaking, Tonan lowered his voice and said, "I hope Danzo-sama will not forget me when you become the Hokage. I've always hoped to serve the villagers and gain their acknowledgment. This is the value and meaning of my life. If possible, positions such as the Root Leader or Anbu Leader would be good to serve the villagers."

After speaking, he activated the Mangekyo and turned to Danzo. He pointed at his eye and said, "By the way, during the war, I suggest you pay a bit more attention to not letting the Uchiha clan suffer too many casualties. After all, with these eyes, as long as I make a small move, we'll be able to use the Uchiha clan."

Danzo instinctively narrowed his eyes seeing Tonan's Mangekyo and avoided his gaze. He nodded quietly. "Ridiculous! who would dare to look at the Mangekyo Sharingan directly?"

Seeing Danzo being so cautious, Tonan chuckled. He shook his head and turned around, walking towards the platform. "By the way, there seem to be many talented people hidden among Konoha. I suggest Danzo-sama seek them out and bring them under your command as soon as possible. Only when people like you become Hokage, Konoha will have a future. This is all I want to say."

Tonan came to talk with Danzo not because he wanted to help him ascend to the Hokage position but because he wanted Danzo to understand that the Uchiha clan was on their side and could be used. He also wanted Danzo to help him with logistics so the Uchihas would not lose too many people. They were all reserved rations. If there were too many deaths, Tonan would feel guilty for wasting food.

After a long time, Danzo sighed and made a hand gesture. In the next instance, a cat-masked ninja appeared behind him and knelt on one knee. "Danzo-sama."

"Go and check the villagers. If their strength reaches genin level, gather them in the Root."

"Yes."

The cat-masked ninja used Body Flicker Technique and disappeared. Danzo turned around and looked at the Hokage Rock. With a fire burning in his eyes, he muttered, "Hiruzen, I'm the best candidate for Hokage. Everything is for Konoha."

Chapter 227: Future Plans, Preparing To Set Out

On his way home, Uchiha Tonan stopped by Uchiha Fugaku's house to visit Uchiha Mikoto. His primary purpose for the visit was to postpone Uchiha Itachi's apprenticeship and ask Mikoto to leverage her connections and purchase a batch of supplies for him.

Ever since the Great Elder was forced to commit suicide, the Uchihas had not elected another. When patriarch Fugaku set out to the battlefield, Mikoto was made in charge of managing the clan's affairs. As for Uchiha Shisui, Tonan limited his contact with him for the time being because he was worried it might impact Kotoamatsukami's formation.

After returning home, Tonan soaked in a hot spring, which swept away his physical and mental exhaustion. He then began to clean the house and trim the grass in the courtyard. Afterward, he washed all the dirty clothes and all the clothes he wanted to take away. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to return for at least a year and a half from this trip.

Although ninjas shouldn't be pretentious and be accustomed to rough living, Tonan had slight mysophobia. On the battlefield, he wouldn't be able to avoid killing people. At that time, if there was blood on his clothes, he would have to use cold water to clean them. It was unlikely there was running water around the battlefield and river water would have germs as well.

Given that it would be too troublesome to use boiled water to wash clothes, it was better to simply pack more. He did not lack money after all anyway, especially after the recent trip to the Fire Capital.

Tonan carefully wiped the floor and raised his head to look at the rows of wood carvings on the altar. Seeing that the fruits placed in front of them were already moldy, he got up and threw them into the flowerbed to use as fertilizer. He couldn't help frowning looking at all this and said out loud, "It seems I need to find someone to take care of the house."

He spent the whole afternoon cleaning the house inside and outside, and folding and packing the clothes he was going to take away. Because he had rushed back home, he hadn't bought any food supplies so he made rice balls to fill his stomach and finally laid down to rest.

He wanted to get as much sleep as possible because chances were that his foreseeable future may not have much rest in it. The Third Great Ninja War had begun. In other words, the general direction of change was already afoot. He wouldn't be able to stop the future. So, it was necessary to plan the overall situation within a short time.

With his current strength, he would not face much danger on the battlefield but regardless of the situation, he had to consider what benefited him. Among the Leaf ninjas, after quite a few exhilarating performances, he had already gained acknowledgment of a portion. This war, therefore, was worth consideration.

It would be best to gain acknowledgment first and then think of a way to help his comrades die. In the end, he must strongly pull against a crazy tide to seize military achievements. Wouldn't both strength and military achievements be the best of both worlds?

But if the war lasted too long, it would be impossible to be in battle all the time. He also planned to put idle time to good use by practicing senjutsu and investing time in scientific research to enrich his knowledge. He believed that under his manipulation, Konoha would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Then, at the end of the war, he could instigate Shimura Danzo to launch an impeachment, forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen to abdicate. Of course, he could not let Danzo take the top spot because he wouldn't be able to rest his mind if such a scoundrel became the Hokage. Wasn't this equivalent to pushing Konoha into a fiery pit?

He too couldn't be on the top. If he took the top position, then the Uchiha clan would immediately rise. If that happened, how could he initiate clan extermination and pile up ocular power to obtain Eternal Mangekyo? As the Hokage, he couldn't raise the butcher's knife to cut down his clan members.

The gossip was a small problem but its effect on his plans to bewitch Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke was immense. Hiruzen and Danzo were his swords to exterminate the clan. However, the Uchihas shouldn't be totally annihilated. The bloodline should be kept alive just in case.

If the ocular power was not enough after exterminating the clan, then that would be a big loss. One should leave room for maneuvering while doing things and allow a thin current to flow a long way.

After the war was over, he could advocate for transferring seedlings to Fire Capital, and hand them over to Naraku for cultivation. Then, look for a chance to cut the matured seedlings. Calculating like this, Namikaze Minato should be in the top position. Moreover, he had to do his best to keep Kushina safe until she gave birth to Naruto. Then, make Uchiha Obito kill Minato and Kushina.

In this way, he could obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques and the Flying Thunder God technique. The most important thing was his good relationship with Minato. Coupled with the position of the welfare institution's dean, it would only be logical that he would become Naruto's guardian.

Becoming the father of this world's protagonist. This plan was good but he needed to pay attention to Obito. If Obito deviated and didn't awaken the Kamui Mangekyo or become unwilling to associate with Uchiha Madara, then he might have to disguise himself as the masked man and kill both Minato and Kushina. The better option was for Obito to develop according to the original work.

After Minato and Kushina's death, he would get rid of Obito and put on the mask… This was far in the future. It was better to take it slow and be down-to-earth. The corners of Tonan's mouth rose slightly. After plotting this far, he turned over on his bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, it was still dark when Tonan got up and finished washing. He offered new incense to the wood carvings on the altar. "Please bless that my plan goes well. If there are no accidents, I promise you all that after I learn Impure World Reincarnation, I'll summon you from the Pure Land and lead you to my Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Tonan bowed to the wood carvings and sat down under the eaves, waiting quietly. Not long after, someone knocked on the courtyard door. Tonan immediately got up and walked over to open the door.

Mikoto had come with two scrolls. "Tonan-kun, this is what you asked for yesterday. The time was too tight so I could only purchase so much. Medical items are in short supply right now due to the war. The sophisticated instruments are impossible to purchase. Most of the products inside are not particularly in demand now. They are still useful but not too convenient to use."

Tonan adjusted his glasses and gratefully said, "That's alright. Thank you very much." Mikoto continued, "These medical ninjutsu and medical knowledge are collected by the Uchiha clan. Most of these are relatively basic. The advanced medical ninjutsu are with the medical squads. The Uchihas can't get them."

Tonan took the two scrolls and stuffed them into his ninja bag. He warmly replied, "It's enough to have so much. I'm just worried there won't be enough medical personnel on the battlefield so I wanted to learn some skills myself. Then I'll be able to help my comrades when needed."

"Tonan-kun, you are truly thoughtful," Mikoto said with a smile. Tonan seemed to have thought of something, and gently advised, "By the way, when Itachi grows up a bit, you can let him accompany Shisui. Shisui is very talented and has a good character."

Mikoto pondered for a while and nodded, "Shisui? Got it." Tonan pointed at his house and said, "Since I'm leaving, can you issue a long-term mission in the Hokage Residence on my behalf? I need someone to clean my house for a long time. I've placed the mission reward on the table in the living room."

"No problem."

After explaining everything, Tonan no longer lingered around. His figure flashed as he ran towards Konoha's barrier.

Chapter 228: Pre-War Meeting, Joining Clan Representatives

From Konoha to the Land of Rain border, it took about two days for a jonin at full speed. As for genin, who were carrying supplies, it would take about ten days. Most supplies could not be carried in storage scrolls. Not only were they expensive but it was also impossible to equip every ninja with them.

Uchiha Tonan had always used storage scrolls because he was comparatively richer from the beginning. Initially, he obtained a huge sum in death compensation. Not long after, he got Sanbo Motoyoshi's lifetime savings, which was a net worth of several tens of million. Not to mention he now had a filial student like Naraku.

He just needed to express that his mood was not good due to lack of funds and the money would hit his card the next day. One should know that in the original work, after Orochimaru betrayed Akatsuki, in order to conduct research, he attached himself to the Land of Rice Fields Daimyo.

The person with the most money had to be the Daimyo. Tonan didn't catch up with the jonin team and leisurely joined the genin team behind. There was nothing urgent for him to rush anyway. Most missions were for guarding to prevent enemy spies from infiltrating the Land of Fire through the Land of Rain's border.

Nine days later at Kikyo Mountain located at this border, a huge base camp had been built on top, surrounded by big and small tents. Judging from the number of tents, the number of ninjas on the western front was about eight thousand.

In the commander's tent, Nara Shikaku, the new patriarch of the Nara clan, was sitting on the main seat. On his left were the Hyuga clan's Hyuga Hizashi and Aburame Zo representing the Aburame clan.

On his right were the Akimichi clan patriarch Akimichi Choza and the Yamanaka clan patriarch Yamanaka Inoichi. This was the main allied force of the ninja clans to resist Iwa and Suna.

These five major clans had transferred most of their combat powers here and their number had reached about two thousand. Sarutobi Hiruzen had transferred most of the Aburame clan members to Kumo's defense line. After all, Kumo's threat was the greatest. It was not that Kumo was stronger than the Iwa and Suna alliance. But its defense line was mostly plain land and required frontal resistance. However, on this battlefront, Konoha had a natural barrier blessed by heaven as a defense.

As long as Kikyo Mountain could be defended, the allied force of the two ninja villages wouldn't be able to break the line. At most a few jonin would be able to pass through. But there was a ninja rule that they couldn't attack civilians of other countries during the war. They could only attack other ninjas.

Therefore, a few jonin trespassing could only gather information at best. They wouldn't dare to go to Konoha to cause trouble. That would just be delivering military achievements to the rear personnel.

There were more than ten representatives of the other clans sitting at the table including the Kurama clan, Inuzuka clan, Sarutobi clan, Shimura clan, and so on. It was because each clan had its characteristics, so they sent some members over just in case. Seeing that everyone was in place, Choza said, "Shikaku, everyone is here. Explain the battle plan now."

Shikaku shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, there's still someone who has not arrived yet." Hizashi crossed his hands in front of his chest and looked at Shikaku, "Who is left?"

Choza glanced at the representatives present one by one and then looking confused, he said, "All clan representatives are already here." Not just him but everyone else present was puzzled as well.

Suddenly, light laughter was heard from outside. "In such a big war, how can Konoha's number one clan, Uchiha, be missing?" The tent's curtain was opened and Tonan, who was dressed in a white robe and golden-rimmed glasses, walked in with a smile.

He adjusted his glasses and glanced around at the crowd, "Sorry for the long wait, everyone." The moment Hizashi saw Tonan, his pupils shrank and he recalled the situation at the Konoha barrier that day.

"Uchiha Tonan…"

"Tonan…"

"Tonan-kun."

All the representatives nodded in good faith toward Tonan. After all, no one, who could mix in this level would be an idiot and be rude to him. It had been rumored that Tonan's combat power already rivaled the sannin level. His joining the battle was a good thing for them.

Everyone preferred to have godlike teammates, who could lead them higher. Shikaku stood up from his seat to greet Tonan. Ino-Shika-Cho had advanced and retreated together so when Inoichi saw Shikaku valuing Tonan so much, he too stood up and nudged Choza under the table.

Although Choza didn't understand what was going on, he stood up too. When others saw this, they all stood up. Shikaku put his hands on his knees and bowed deeply toward Tonan. "Welcome and thank you for offering your strength to Konoha. Please take a seat."

The other people also bowed toward Tonan. Tonan wasn't modest. He smiled and sat opposite Shikaku. In times of war, being modest, courteous, and easy-going was of no use. Strength was the key.

The more arrogant you appeared the more confident your teammates would be. After everyone sat down, Shikaku coughed lightly, "Since everyone is here and time is pressing, I'll tell you about the battle plan."

He walked to the map behind him and explained, "This is the Ninja World's terrain map. As you can see, starting from the Land of Waterfall and the Land of Earth border, the terrain rises here and passes through the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth border."

"When it reaches the Land of Rain, it is slightly lowered. From here, the largest river of the Land of Earth flows into the Land of Rain and enters the sea through the Land of Rivers. The Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers are separated by a mountain chain that stretches for thousands of miles. It extends to the Land of Rain, where the terrain is low. It's placed in a basin and shaped like a bottleneck."

"This is also the reason why every ninja war is fought in the Land of Rain. Kikyo Mountain, the place where we are now, is here. Kikyo Mountain just happens to be located at the top of the Land of Rain's bottleneck, like a cap. As long as Kikyo Mountain doesn't fall, the allied forces of the two countries cannot attack us."

"Although it's like this, Kikyo Mountain is not very steep. There are not many big hindrances to ninjas. Therefore, we can't just defend here. We must push the frontline forward and to the center of the Land of Rain. It's this location. This is the other place where the bottleneck is the narrowest. We need to stop the enemy allied force here and make them give up the plan to advance, starting small squad battles with us."

"But there's a problem. Our military strength is far behind the allied force of the two countries, so we must hold out in this battle. If we lose, then we have to take the initiative to disperse our troops and start the squad battle mode carrying out guerrilla warfare."

Tonan suddenly cut in, "How many ninjas are there in the allied force of the two countries this time?" After he spoke, everyone's gaze focused on Shikaku. Shikaku became silent for a while and said with a solemn face, "It's close to thirty thousand, and nearly twenty thousand among them are stone ninjas."

Shikaku had no plan to share this information. The gap in numbers between the two sides was massive. Once it was known, it was very likely that the people on his side would lose their fighting spirits. Sure enough, hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.

The atmosphere in the commander's tent became stifling and Tonan smiled subtly. He tapped on the table with his finger and loudly said, "They have so many people, why don't we fight quickly? I agree with this plan."

A hint of surprise flashed through Shikaku's eyes. He looked straight at Tonan and said, "Is there no need to reconsider?" Everyone's gaze turned to Tonan. He shook his head indifferently as if the allied force of thirty thousand soldiers was nothing.

"I agree," Choza too raised his hand and agreed.

Hizashi also said, "I agree too."

"I believe in Shikaku."

Chapter 229: Base Building, Heading To Battlefield

Soon, all representatives agreed to Nara Shikaku's battle plan. Building on this, Shikaku immediately announced, "Alright, inform everyone. We will rest well tonight and mobilize our troops to enter the Land of Rain tomorrow."

Everyone got up and returned to their respective places where their clan's ninjas were stationed to update them on the battle plan. Shikaku, however, stopped Uchiha Tonan to stay behind for a short discussion.

"I proposed this plan primarily because you have the combat power rivaling the sannin. But I don't know you very well, so I want to ask your opinion. In this kind of head-on battle, once you lose, it will greatly impact morale. In our case, of course, we just need to persevere and not collapse."

"As long as they realize that they cannot break through our defense line, they will choose to retreat to the rear to find opportunities. At that time, it'll be the second stage of the war, which will be the squad battle phase. The two sides will send small combat squads to enter the Land of Rain to assassinate each other."

Tonan didn't answer directly but pointed at the ground and said, "The headquarters will be here in the future, right?"

Shikaku was dumbfounded for a moment and then nodded, "Yes."

"Then I'll go to prepare a lab. As for tomorrow's battle…" Tonan turned around and walked outside as he said this and when he reached the tent's opening, he paused for a moment and glanced sideways, "…get ready for the squad battles."

After a while, Tonan came to the foot of Kikyo Mountain. He made hand seals and patted the mountain wall in front of him. Because he had learned a special chakra control skill from Senju Hashirama's scroll, he could change chakra shape according to his wish and affect things around it as well.

However, this move could only be used against solid or liquid things. It worked well with the earth style and water style but it was useless in lightning, wind, and fire styles. Tonan spread his chakra and controlled the soil. He then used his mind to control its movement.

After two hours, a passage about the size of a person appeared on the mountain wall in front of him. Tonan retracted his palm and stepped inside. After walking through a long winding passage, he arrived at an empty secret room.

It was pitch black in there. Tonan took out a few luminous gems from the scroll and placed them on the ceiling. The secret room lit up slowly. This was just an ordinary cave, where even the walls and ground were uneven.

Seeing this, Tonan couldn't help frowning. He rubbed his chin and muttered, "It seems I haven't practiced enough. The control is so poor."

Tonan continued to release ninjutsu and began to practice in this newly built laboratory. The battlefield was the most suitable place for human experiments. Human materials would be available everywhere. He had already learned enough ninjutsu.

There was no way to surpass his predecessors in this study. In this regard, he still had to learn from Orochimaru. Thinking of this, Tonan reached out and patted his forehead with a look of regret. "Why did I cut the weeds and dig up the roots back then? I should've left a line."

He had killed Ninja World's number-one scientist just like that. Thinking about it now, it was truly a pity.

"Had I known, I'd have released Orochimaru and captured him alive when I was stronger. At that time, even if I didn't gain his acknowledgment, after killing a few Yamanaka clan members and learning the technique to check memories, I could've searched his soul. What a waste!"

Tonan had already expanded halfway up the mountain, making quite a few secret rooms. The passages extended in all directions. This place was warm in winter and cool in summer and was also well-ventilated.

As for safety, the best option was to leave behind a shadow clone considering his clones too had the buff Adamantine Body. He had spent most of the day doing all this and by now it was already late at night. Tonan didn't stay awake to start working but returned to his tent to rest. He also needed to restore his energy for tomorrow's war.

Tonan may have put up a confident front for Shikaku but the enemy side comprised an allied force of over thirty thousand ninjas. He would never underestimate the opponent. More so because allegedly, Onoki and Sandaime Kazekage were personally leading the allied force this time.

Early the next morning, the horizon lit up with a layer of golden light, and the dazzling morning star was hanging on the top of Kikyo Mountain. As per Shikaku's plan, the Leaf ninja army crossed the Land of Rain border and set off toward the battlefield.

Only less than one thousand logistical troops were left in the Kikyo Mountain garrison. Immediately after entering the Land of Rain, Tonan found that there were swamps and rivers everywhere.

It was unknown whether he and the others were lucky but they didn't encounter rain along the way today. Tonan ran behind Shikaku. Suddenly, Shikaku looked back at him and solemnly said, "Tonan, when the two armies meet, don't immediately rush forward. Wait for the other side's powerhouses to attack and drain their stamina. Then you can make a move."

"High casualties are worthless in this kind of battle. As long as a powerhouse is killed, the impact on morale is far greater than killing dozens of ordinary ninjas. Similarly, if you find an opponent you can't fight, retreat immediately. Once you die on the battlefield, we can only request reinforcements."

Tonan raised his eyebrows hearing Shikaku's advice. He was slightly surprised and commented, "Shikaku-sama, I would've never imagined you trusted me so much."

Shikaku nodded, "When you fought against Tsunade, I saw you using defensive and powerful ninjutsu from a distance. The Buddha summoned via that ninjutsu is big enough. It can be a great deterrent to the enemy on the battlefield. You need to be careful of Sandaime Tsuchikage ninjutsu. According to our intel, the dust style is terrifying. You can only dodge but not block it."

At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi slowed down and came beside Tonan. He worriedly said, "When you make your move later, don't be too far from me. Your ninjutsu should consume a lot of chakra and I guess it wouldn't last long. If you can't endure, rush over to my side immediately."

Shikaku added, "That's right, Hizashi-sama's Kaiten is known as an absolute defense. At that time, remember to not go too hard."

Tonan nodded lightly and said, "Alright, I got it."

After a moment, a hesitant Hizashi voiced some worries in his heart. "By the way, Hanzo won't step forward to stop us like in the last war, right?"

Shikaku shook his head, "At the beginning of the war, Hanzo said that the Land of Rain would remain neutral and wouldn't participate in the war of the five great countries. So, we don't have to worry about it. After all, he's a man known as a demigod. He won't go back on his words."

Hizashi was relieved and said, "That's good. I'll rest assured of this now since that's the case."

Chapter 230: War Begins, Konoha's Military Tactics

In the distance, a fiery red sun rose from the purple mist, emitting a dazzling light. The golden glow opened the fog curtain like a mythical giant hand and everything suddenly became clearer.

After running for a long time, the Leaf ninja army finally arrived at the battlefront. On the left, there was a mountain range that seemed to be cut off by a sharp sword. And on the right, there was a big river that was flowing from the distant terraced high mountain.

On the level ground ahead, Suna and Iwa troops were on the left and right sides respectively. They had been waiting here for a long time. Obviously, they had similar thoughts as Nara Shikaku.

The two countries' allied forces wanted to take advantage of their military prowess and defeat the Leaf army in one fell swoop to cross the Kikyo Mountain and head straight to Konoha. Shikaku's decision to launch the squad combat mode was to make them retreat.

Activating his Sharingan, Uchiha Tonan stood at the center of the army and looked into the distance. In the sky above the Sand army, a man with his hands folded in front of his chest was standing on pitch-black iron sand. Iwa's Onoki was even more aggressive. He was floating in the air and looking down at the people below.

It was evident they came out in full force. Onoki glanced at Shikaku and the others in the Leaf army and said with a sigh. "It seems like Konoha has truly declined. At a glance, the commanders are all juniors."

Sandaime Kazekage snorted, "Among Konoha Sannin, one is dead and the other two defected. Their Hokage is old. It seems there's no suspense on who'll win in this war."

Onoki glanced sideways at him and leisurely said, "Don't take it lightly. It's, after all, Konoha. If there's a powerhouse, we should attack together."

Sandaime Kazekage didn't take Onoki's words seriously. Instead, he just shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter."

At this moment, Shikaku took a deep breath and shouted, "Lords from Iwa and Suna, are you sure you want to start a war despite the treaty of alliance?"

Onoki was about to reply with a few high-sounding words but he was interrupted by the Kazekage. "No need to bother. The intelligence shows they have less than ten thousand people. Let's act promptly to avoid running into something unexpected."

Onoki agreed and shouted, "Attack."

Following the command, the Suna and Iwa ninjas rushed toward the Leaf army.

Shikaku spat out a mouthful of morbid qi and shouted, "Don't rush forward blindly. Don't mess up the formation. Let's go, everyone."

After his instructions, the Leaf ninjas also rushed forward. At the same time, Yamanaka Inoichi walked over to Shikaku and placed his hand on his forehead. He used his clan's Mind Body Transmission Technique to transmit Shikaku's instructions to the minds of every Leaf ninja present.

The distance between the two sides gradually reduced. They had already reached the range suitable for attack ninjutsu. At this time, Sandaime Kazekage shouted, "Wind Style Squad." In the next moment, Suna's momentum slowed down and then the Wind Style Squad rushed in the front and began to make identical hand seals.

A loud shout was heard on the battlefield. "Wind Style – Vacuum Waves." When the Wind Style Squad began to make hand seals, Shikaku hastily instructed in his mind: "Water Style Squad". As the transmission was real-time, Konoha's formation changed instantly. "Water Style – Water Formation Wall."

From Suna's direction, countless air bullets flew toward the Leaf army. At the same time, Konoha's Water Style Squad spat out water in front of them. The water splashed on the ground and a water wall, more than ten meters high, rose from the ground.

The air bullets hit the water wall, sounding like explosions. The water splashed everywhere but the attack failed. Shikaku asked Inoichi with his mind: "Are the other Yamanaka clan members ready?"

Inoichi replied: "They are ready." Over a hundred Yamanaka clan ninjas began to make hand seals and aimed at a target. In the distance, Sandaime Kazekaze frowned and said, "Not good, that's Konoha's Yamanaka clan."

Onoki was not perturbed. He stroked his beard and said, "I've been prepared for this. Earth Style Squad, attack." The Stone ninjas ran to the front and quickly made hand seals. "Earth Style – Great Mud Wall."

Just before the Mind Transfer Technique was activated, a mud wall that was tens of meters high appeared between the two armies. The Yamanaka clan's ninjutsu released right at this time and with the clash, in an instant, over a hundred Yamanaka clan members collapsed on the ground.

Shikaku's expression did not change. He quietly asked in his heart: "How long until they wake up?"

"About five minutes."

Shikaku nodded and realized that the two armies were about to meet. That Great Mud Wall was collapsing rapidly because no chakra was injected to maintain it. He shouted in his mind: "Akimichi clan, follow the plan. Remember to not roll in a straight line but a curve."

Immediately after he spoke, the Akimichis rushed forward and used the Human Boulder technique. The Human Boulder slammed on the Great Mud Wall that had no chakra support and a big hole was created in it.

"Now!": Shikaku yelled in his mind. Then, over a hundred fire-style ninjas rushed forward and made hand seals simultaneously. "Fire Style – Great Fireball Technique." The great fireball hit the mud wall, and the water contained in it evaporated instantly.

The wall then hardened into an earth wall. At the same time, the Nara clan, who followed closely behind, made hand seals and called out, "Shadow Imitation Technique." Lines of black shadows rushed forward and passed through the big hole in the earth wall.

It was only at this moment that Tonan noticed the sun was behind the Leaf army, making everyone's shadows longer. They were using the sun's position to increase the length of the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique. And when the Technique passed through the earth wall, it borrowed the shadow of the earth wall to increase its length again.

"It's a very good military strategy but how did he take the enemy's reaction into account?" Tonan looked meaningfully at Shikaku.

After the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique passed through the earth wall, it controlled the frontline enemy ninjas behind the earth wall. Then, the Akimichi clan's Human Boulders rolled into the crowd and wreaked havoc. After a lap, they rolled back from the big hole into the earth wall.

Tonan narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very happy with Ino-Shika-Cho's performance. In his eyes, such distinctive ninja clans were very high-quality food. These were all treasures.

"It's my turn to take the stage now." Tonan would never deviate from his original plan. The current Leaf army could not have too many casualties because he hadn't gained the acknowledgment of most of them yet.

He recalled there were three ways to gain acknowledgment—emotional, belief, and strength.

He had used emotional acknowledgment the most and had the most profound experience in it. To gain this kind of acknowledgment, the best way was to take advantage of people's fears and worries and then seize the emotional void to enter their hearts.

Similarly, the best way to gain strength acknowledgment was to step forward when others discovered that their strength was not enough. The battlefield was the best place to gain this acknowledgment.

As for how to set up the battlefield persona. He could simply take inspiration from Uchiha Madara.

Chapter 231: Great Fire Annihilation, Being Arrogant Despotic

In the distance, Sandaime Kazekage didn't have much reaction seeing that Nara Shikaku's military tactics were effective. Even though Shikaku's tactics were successful, in fact, the Iwa and Suna allied forces had lost only a few hundred ninjas that were under the Shadow Imitation Technique's control.

Moreover, most of them were genin. They were war expendables anyway. As for the chunin and jonin, the few who did not have the time or space to dodge or resist were injured. The others had long escaped. Sandaime Kazekage said with disdain, "No matter how good the tactics are, the melee combat will begin soon."

As long as the melee combat began, Suna's puppets would be able to play a role. A Sand ninja with several, even dozens of, puppets could fight against several Leaf ninjas at once. This didn't include the Hyuga ninjas as they were good at melee combat. Coupled with the Byakugan that could see chakra lines, they were simply puppet ninja's natural enemies.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tonan leisurely stretched out his hand and took off his gold-rimmed glasses. He handed it over to Shikaku who was beside him and said, "Hold it for me."

Shikaku subconsciously took the glasses and asked with a puzzled look, "What are you going to do?" The corners of Tonan's mouth rose slightly. He unbuttoned his shirt and lightly said, "It's time to start dancing."

Immediately afterward, he squatted down a little. Shikaku frowned and loudly explained. "Tonan, we still have a follow-up battle plan, it's not time for you to take action!"

Tonan's expression instantly condensed and a strong chakra fluctuation burst out from his body. His momentum swept across hundreds of meters. The ground beneath his feet cracked and the cracks spread further along. His eyes changed from three-tomoe to Mangekyo and he exerted power on his legs.

Bang! A big circular crater suddenly appeared on the spot. Tonan turned into a black shadow and charged straight into the sky. Onoki narrowed his eyes in the distance and asked, "Who's that?"

Sandaime Kazekage narrowed his eyes as well and replied, "He's too fast to see clearly. Most likely a taijutsu expert."

Tonan was getting higher and higher and in the blink of an eye, he had already surpassed Onoki's altitude. In his eyes, the people on the battlefield gradually became as tiny as ants. A sneer appeared on his face as he made hand seals and shouted, "Senjutsu – Great Fire Annihilation."

Boom… The flame shrouded the sky and fell towards the allied forces of the two countries with great momentum, attracting everyone's attention.

"Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" Onoki, Sandaime Kazekage, and Shikaku yelled at once, commanding their ninjas to take cover. But the flame came down quickly. In the eyes of the Sand and Stone ninjas, it was simply an existence that shrouded the clouds and the sun.

At this critical moment, the Earth Style Squad's leader said with an unsightly look, "All of you retreat. Earth Style Squad block this together with me!"

Over a hundred members of the Earth Style Squad circulated the chakra and shouted in unison, "Earth Style – Great Mud Wall." They desperately released chakra in an attempt to block the terrifying flame pouring down from the sky. The mud wall formed instantly and blocked Tonan's Great Fire Annihilation.

Just as it came into contact with the Great Fire Annihilation, the mud wall burned to the point of emitting white smoke. The scorching temperature seemed to burn the air itself. "So hot!" Many ninjas close to the wall were unable to bear the residual heat.

They all screamed and retreated. "Retreat quickly!" The Sand and Stone ninjas turned around and ran away. Behind the crimson flame curtain, Tonan's indifferent voice resounded. "Senjutsu – Nine Rock Pillars Technique."

Rumble… Nine huge stone pillars rose from the ground. Tonan steadily landed on one of them and was lifted to the highest place. He folded his arms in front of his chest, coldly watching as the Sand and Stone ninjas fled in panic.

He had no plan to continue the attack. After all, the main theme of this battle was — acting like a pretentious prick.

Leaf ninjas gulped seeing this show of strength. Everyone looked at the person on the stone pillar and their minds were buzzing and blank. "He has become even stronger. Such terrifying talent…" Shikaku, who had gathered information about Tonan, muttered with a blank gaze.

The Sand and Stone ninjas retreated no less than one mile before they stopped and gasped for breath. Several inexperienced genin and chunin looked shocked and stupidly mumbled, "What kind of monster is that?"

"Could it be that the Hokage has come?"

"He's completely on a different scale."

"How much chakra did he use in that one jutsu?"

As the commotion settled, everyone's eyes were on Tonan. The object of their attention, however, was looking at the mud wall. The wall had solidified after being baked at the high temperature of the Great Fire Annihilation and its surface had become somewhat smooth.

It was a little too high so Tonan was unable to see the enemies on the opposite side. "It's an eyesore." In front of everyone, he spat at the Great Mud Wall. The saliva hit the wall and created a small hole.

Immediately afterward, cobweb-like cracks spread around it. Crash… Accompanied by a shattering sound, the mud wall collapsed like a domino. After being heated, the mud wall had become breakable, similar to ceramic. The visual impact of the scene was too strong. Everyone on the battlefield was shocked.

In the distance, it was unknown whether a particular Stone jonin wanted to brush up on his knowledge or was just too tired of living. He shouted, "Damn it… who are you?"

Tonan raised his eyebrows slightly. He secretly used Wind Communication to transmit his voice to everyone's ears and domineeringly said, "The weak don't deserve to know my name."

A dazzling red light shone from his Mangekyo. Sandaime Kazekage immediately warned everyone, "Don't look at his eyes."

But it was a little late for some. Hundreds of ninjas of the allied forces held their heads and screamed, heavily falling to the ground. This included the Stone jonin who had shouted out just now.

Onoki's expression was very serious. He moved closer to Sandaime Kazekage and lowered his voice, "This must be Konoha's number one genius who killed Orochimaru and defeated Tsunade, Uchiha Tonan."

Sandaime Kazekage looked gloomy, "Uchiha clan's brat? He seems to be a little stronger than the sannin. He should be Konoha's trump card. It's our turn to take action."

The two looked at each other and secretly began to get ready.

Chapter 232: Undressing To Fight, Great Mud River

On the towering stone pillar, while unbuttoning his shirt, Uchiha Tonan loudly said, "From the moment I stood up here, it's up to me when the war will end." After saying these arrogant words, he tore off his shirt and threw it away.

Sun rays shone on him from behind, creating a golden halo around him. Because of the light effect, the Sand and Stone ninjas could only see a sturdy outline with a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan on the towering stone pillar.

Tonan's visually explosive bearing was in sharp contrast with his previous refined figure. By now, Onoki had used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to move a huge boulder on top of the distant mountain on a cloud layer above Tonan.

"Die, Konoha's brat." From everyone's perspective, a huge boulder burst out of the clouds and smashed toward Tonan with great momentum. As the boulder got closer, the shadow became larger.

"Watch out!" Nara Shikaku's pupils shrank and he shouted. At the same time, he quickly used his mind to inform the Akimichi clan: "Quick, use Expansion Technique to stop it!"

Akimichi Choza's reply came in a panicked voice: "It won't work. The stone pillar is too tall. Expansion Technique can't reach it."

However, Tonan turned slightly and glanced at the boulder falling from the sky. At this moment, Onoki's eyes were cold. He made hand seals and shouted, "Earth Style – Super Weighted Boulder Technique."

The boulder's speed increased by a few points and under the Super Weighted Boulder Technique's boost, it increased in weight as well. The kinetic energy contained in the boulder multiplied significantly and it was about to hit Tonan's head.

A proud smile appeared on Onoki's face. "You didn't dodge. It's simply courting death. Do you truly think it's just a piece of ordinary rock?"

The Leaf ninjas had the same thought. "It's over…" But Tonan just slightly raised his right hand and made a gesture of knocking on the door. With a light tap on the huge boulder, a shocking scene took place.

Bang! Tonan smashed the huge boulder with a single touch. Rubbles and debris flew all around and fell to the ground, creating small and large craters. Onoki's eyes were about to pop out and he exclaimed in disbelief, "How's that possible!"

Ding! Gained Hyuga Koji's acknowledgment… Gained Akimichi Enka's acknowledgment… Gained Akimichi Doitsu's acknowledgment… Nara Ebisu's acknowledgment… Yamanaka Saki's acknowledgment… A series of system prompts kept ringing in Tonan's mind.

"Too… too strong…"

"Is this the strength that rivals the sannin…"

"Speaking of which, I also participated in the last Great Ninja War, but the sannin didn't seem to be this powerful."

"This fellow seemed to be using something similar to Tsunade's monstrous strength."

"Damn it, is this fellow's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu all this strong?"

Tonan patted the dust off his right hand and raised his head, "Little old man, you are already this old and still playing throwing stones at people." He ignored the angry gazes of the Stone ninjas and turned to look at the Leaf ninjas behind him. He waved his hand and said with a warm look, "Shikaku-sama, let them retreat. It will affect my killing."

"Huh?… yes…" Shikaku finally recovered from the shock. He nodded repeatedly and ordered, "Everyone, retreat, and make space for Tonan-sama to make a move."

Since he appeared at the battleground, Tonan maintained an arrogant demeanor. But people's feelings in different positions were different. The Leaf ninjas, for example, were feeling very good.

Just thinking about how their teammate was killing in all directions, crushing enemies to the ground, continuously spewing obscenities and sneering at them. Would anyone hate it? No, they would only feel a sense of security.

At this moment, Sandaime Kazekage was secretly controlling iron sand to spread toward Tonan from underground. Although the iron sand's movement was concealed and undetectable to ordinary ninjas, Sandaime Kazekage knew that a powerhouse like Tonan would notice it.

Therefore, someone must become bait to distract him. "He's just one person. His chakra is limited. As long as he's killed, it's equivalent to winning this battle. Everyone, don't be afraid, and charge at him for me."

With their Kazekage's command, the Sand ninjas rushed toward Tonan even though they were scared. The Kazekage was unwilling to let his village's ninjas die alone as Iwa's ninja watched the play. He looked at Onoki who had flown to Iwa's battlefront and said in a cold voice, "Tsuchikage-sama, we are allies."

Onoki understood what he meant and shouted, "Stone ninjas, charge together."

With his command, many ninjas rushed toward Tonan. "Charge." "Kill him!"

Tonan, who was standing on the stone pillar with his hands crossed in front of his chest, watched the stream of people rushing towards him and muttered, "Sure enough, those who can become the village's Kage are ruthless characters."

The iron sand deep below the ground was too conspicuous to Tonan who had the Byakugan ability. The battlefield was too big, and the ordinary Hyuga clan members couldn't see this far with their eyes. However, one point must not be forgotten—the Byakugan's range was directly proportional to strength.

When the mighty crowd was about to reach him, Tonan leisurely made hand seals. He then yelled, "Senjutsu – Great Mud River." Rumble… The entire battlefield shook violently. The ground that had been scorched by the Great Fire Annihilation softened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the next moment, mud gushed out from below the stone pillar like a sea tide, rushing towards the charging crowd. The dark brown mud seethed like waves.

The enemy side shouted, "Earth Style – Great Mud Wall." But the moment the great mud wall appeared, it was washed away by the incoming mud tide. Ordinary ninjutsu couldn't compare with senjutsu. It was a qualitative difference.

Seeing the Great Mud Wall was useless, the ninjas were dumbfounded. They all came to a halt at once. Then, some chose to turn around and run away, while others chose to use ninjutsu to resist.

"Earth Style – Mud Wall Technique."

"Water Style – Water Formation Wall Technique."

"Damn it… I can only use fire-style…"

"It's too late…. run to the mountain quickly."

Regardless of the techniques, everything was useless. All the ninjas missed the best chance to escape because of a moment's hesitation. The mud flow was incomparably violent and fast like a mighty force, chasing after the fleeing army.

In the blink of an eye, countless ninjas drowned. Amid countless screams, the mud flow continued towards the positions of the Iwa and Suna armies.

Chapter 233: Absolute Paragon, Devastating Results

Most of the jonin were on guard. They used various methods to dodge the mudslide. But the ordinary chunin and genin met with a tragic fate. Only panic and screams could be heard all around.

"Save me!"…. "Pull me out!"….

"No, I can't pull."…. "Let go, I'm going to fall!"…. "Bastard!"

Most of the allied forces' genin were swept away by the mud flow. They stretched out their hands with difficulty seeking help from their companions on the mountain wall. But the ninjas who tried to help them were also pulled into the flow by the massive force.

Seeing this, none of the ninjas who were hanging on to the mountain wall with charka dared to help their comrades. They could only watch them being swallowed by the torrent.

When the Leaf ninjas saw that Uchiha Tonan had single handedly defeated tens of thousands of ninjas, their faces turned red with excitement, and their eyes were filled with admiration.

In the Ninja World, respect for the strong was engraved in the bones. Especially on the battlefield. Therefore, more than the screams, Tonan could hear system prompts…

Ding! Gained Sarutobi Masato's acknowledgment… Gained Shimura Fugetsu's acknowledgment… Aburame Kusou's acknowledgment… Kurama Shuzi's acknowledgment.

The prompt continuously rang, overlapping with the previous messages. Even Tonan didn't know how many Leaf ninjas acknowledged him by now. But when the number reached a certain level, duplicate bloodline limits and secret techniques were icing on the cake.

This time, his primary targets apart from Ino-Shika-Cho, were the Aburame and Kurama clans. He couldn't wait to savor their flavors. A strange smile appeared on his face just thinking about it.

At this moment, the mighty mudflow was about to reach the allied forces' battlefront. Onoki glanced at Sandaime Kazekage and saw him quietly nod at him. He put his hands together and shouted, "Earth Style – Multiple Moving Earth Core Technique."

The ground in front of the allied forces caved in, forming a huge trench that was connected to a big river far away on the right side of the battlefield. When the mudflow reached this point, it gushed into the trench, flowing into the river alongside.

Meanwhile, Sandaime Kazekage's iron sand had already spread all over the depths of the ground below Tonan. "Attack!" he rushed towards Tonan. Onoki's hands also turned into afterimages, making hand seals as he angrily shouted, "Earth Style – Earth Stone Dragon Technique."

Roar… The ground trembled and a huge earth-stone dragon emerged from it and roared at Tonan. At the same time, a large amount of iron sand burst out from below and turned into a pair of giant hands, grabbing Tonan.

Nara Shikaku opened his eyes wide and shouted, "Watch out!" A cunning smile appeared on the Kazekage's face and he laughed loudly, "Die, you arrogant Uchiha brat. Magnet Style – Iron Sand Burial."

The pitch-black iron sand hands grabbed Tonan and contracted. The sand suddenly tightened and turned into an airtight ball trying to crush him with enormous pressure. At the same time, the earth-stone dragon was already close at hand.

"It's over…" Shikaku's hands trembled. His knees became soft and he knelt weakly. The other Leaf ninjas also looked sad. Because of the high-leveled ninjutsu and the height of the stone pillar, they couldn't help at all.

At this critical juncture, Tonan's indifferent voice came from the iron sand. "Is this it?"

Suddenly, a golden chakra formed into a large hand that broke out of the iron sand and grabbed the dragon. The earth-stone dragon struggled and roared but couldn't move. "This is not fun at all!" As Tonan spoke, the golden hand squeezed lightly.

Bang! The earth-stone dragon disintegrated and fell to the ground. In the next instance, golden lights shot out from the gaps in the iron sand as if a small golden sun was wrapped in it.

"What's going on?" Sandaime Kazekage was sweating profusely with his right hand raised, wanting to clench it into a fist. But there seemed to be a strong repelling force stopping him.

Bang! Another earth-shaking explosion resounded and the iron sand particles were blown away. Then, a golden samurai, larger than the mountain, appeared in front of everyone. Its body was burning with golden chakra flames.

Tonan was standing on its forehead with his hands folded in front of his chest. He was looking down at the allied forces of the two countries as if they were ants.

"What monster is this?" the Kazekage exclaimed and turned the iron sand into wings as he retreated far away. Onoki looked at the behemoth in front of him. His pupils trembled and a look of horror appeared on his face as he muttered, "I remember this… this is… Uchiha Madara's… Susanoo."

The Kazekage had an ugly expression. He asked, "This thing looks too strong. Do you know its weakness?"

Onoki looked like he recalled something dreadful. He quivered and stared at the golden samurai, "This thing… has no weakness…"

"We should prepare to retreat but before that, we must look for a chance to fight." With this thought, Onoki said out loud, "Kazekage-sama, ordinary ninjas cannot participate in this battle anymore. Wait a moment, I'll use the particle style to see if it can defeat him. I want you to help me divert his attention."

The Kazekage looked at the golden samurai and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He took a deep breath and said, "No problem."

Immediately afterward, the two simultaneously shouted, "Stone ninjas, heed the command, retreat to the base camp, and remain on standby."

"Sand ninjas, heed the command, retreat."

The ninjas of the allied forces fled in the distance, leaving only Onoki and the Kazekage.

Ding! Gained Takiya's acknowledgment… Ding! Gained Naomura Tada's acknowledgment… Ding! Gained Aburame Tetsuo's acknowledgment…

……

With his back facing the Leaf ninjas, an intoxicated expression appeared on Tonan's face as he listened to the continuous system prompts.

"This is enough. This battle has nothing to do with me now." Tonan suddenly narrowed his eyes and his expression became indifferent and ruthless.

The clouds above his head began to spin rapidly and the ones at the horizon seemed to have met with a great attractive force, as they speedily gathered in the sky above the battlefield.

Rumble… Angry thunderclaps came from the cloud layer and reverberated throughout the mountain for a long time. It sounded like thousands of drums. Then, blue electric arcs materializing from chakra began to appear on the surface of the golden samurai and move around.

In the next moment, Tonan controlled the golden samurai to raise its legs and move forward. Stationed on its forehead, Tonan's pitch-black hair fluttered in all directions. Because the Spirit of the Thunder God was activated, there was no trace of human emotions left on his face. He coldly said, "Today, I'll show you what real ninjutsu is. Let's dance… entertain me as much as possible."

On a summit far away, a red-haired boy crouched on the ground and stuck his head out of the cliff, looking at the battlefield with fascination.

On Konoha's side, when Hyuga Hizashi saw the enemy retreating in fear due to Tonan's great display of strength, he proposed to Shikaku, "The enemies are retreating, shouldn't we chase?"

Shikaku shook his head and replied, "No. If we chase, Tonan might not release his ninjutsu considering our safety."

He turned his gaze toward the behemoth and inwardly thought, "Such powerful ninjutsu… I wonder how long you can maintain it."
