Chapter 156: The War is Over, the Uchiha Clan's Response

"Cough cough cough..."

When the turbulent river water calmed down a little, Liuyun, Orochimaru and Jiraiya struggled to climb onto the river bank.

A huge wave pushed them to an unfamiliar section of the river. There were no other ninjas around, and they couldn't even hear the black dragon's roar.

Occasionally, one or two corpses could be seen floating on the river. Liuyun dragged his tired body to pick up a friendly soldier, but found that the other party was already dead, with mud and sand all in his mouth and nose. It was the kind that could not be saved even if he wanted to.

Liuyun had no choice but to return to the two of them, sit on the ground, and use his hands to perform the Palm Magic to start treating the poison and wounds of the two.

"No one can survive?" Orochimaru asked casually.

"Hmm..." Liuyun nodded slightly.

Orochimaru sighed and closed his eyes.

Those who came with him today were all Konoha's elites, and they were all killed in the river in a great battle.

In fact, he had been mentally prepared for this situation in advance. After all, a blocking battle is basically dangerous, not to mention that it was led by Hanzo Salamander himself.

The three of them were lucky to escape, as that group of Konoha elites alone could not defeat the remaining Rain Ninjas.

If Black Dragon hadn't suddenly gone berserk, they would never have been able to defeat Salamander Hanzo if the fight had continued.

A huge wave forcibly narrowed the gap in strength between the two groups. Orochimaru felt that he should thank the powerful black dragon.

It was useless for Hanzo of the Salamander and a few Rain Ninjas to survive. In that state, they would only end up dead if they went to Longmen Town.

They will definitely win this war!

Liuyun roughly healed the two men's external injuries, and then lay on the ground without caring about his image.

After recovering their strength for half an hour, the three of them supported each other and stood up.

The two adults, who were still poisoned, hooked the boy's shoulders from left and right, and put most of their body weight on the boy's shoulders...

Liuyun looked at the two shameless guys on his left and right with a dark face.

"My body is numb and I'm exhausted..." Orochimaru explained with a smile.

"We two worked together to protect you, so you will have to work hard from now on..." Jiraiya said with a smirk on his face.

"..."

Now that things have come to this, Liuyun can only hold his nose and bear it.

At this moment, his chakra was almost exhausted, and he didn't have the ability to summon a giant snake to serve as a mount.

"Now are we going back to camp or where?"

"Go directly to Longmen Town..."

When the three of them slowly arrived at Longmen Town, they found that it had indeed been completely occupied by the Konoha Ninjas, just as Orochimaru had expected.

According to Tsunade, Hanzo of the Salamander did come here, but he saw that the situation was hopeless and that continuing to defend would only result in the annihilation of his entire army. He had no choice but to lead the remaining Rain Ninjas to withdraw from Longmen Town and decisively gave up this strategic town.

Konoha won the most critical and decisive battle in the Fire Rain War!

The main credit for this battle goes to Orochimaru, Ryuun, Jiraiya who successfully completed the interception mission, and Tsunade who shined in the capture of Longmen Town.

Although Orochimaru and his two companions failed to intercept Hanzo of the Salamander, they completely destroyed the reinforcements except Hanzo of the Salamander. This result was beyond everyone's expectations and could even be considered the best expected result.

The fame of the three ninjas was spread again in this battle. At the same time, the fame of a twelve-year-old warrior with three magatama Sharingan also spread throughout most of the ninja world through the mouths of the Rain ninjas.

Information about Uchiha Ryuyun has begun to be sent to the five major ninja villages, and his horrific record was soon dug out by those with ulterior motives.

An elite jonin who is only 12 years old, has awakened the Three-magatama Sharingan at such a young age, and has also subdued an extremely powerful black dragon as a summoned war beast. His overall strength is even almost exceeding the limits of a jonin!

Such a top genius made many people feel wary of him, and his identity information was soon recorded by the underground gold exchange.

Moreover, people from the four major countries have offered very considerable bounties, and the price of their heads has even caught up with the three ninjas!

When the news that Liuyun possessed the three-magatama Sharingan was passed back to the Uchiha clan, the entire family was immediately excited.

Especially when the Uchiha elder received all the information about Liuyun, he ran to the Hokage building angrily and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen why he deliberately concealed Liuyun's information and did not let the Uchiha clan know about such a hero...

Their family had produced a three-magatama elite warrior who was comparable to the Three Ninjas and had made great military achievements for Konoha, but their family was the last to get the news. For a time, the top leaders of the Uchiha clan were furious!

But when the Uchiha elder questioned the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked a counter-question: "Your family's three-magatama master is unknown to you, so how can you come to question me?"

The information of every Konoha Jonin is confidential, and the Third Hokage is obliged to keep it secret for them.

"Then why didn't he inform us when he went to the battlefield? Why didn't he inform us when he was promoted to Jonin? Does Konoha take our Uchiha clan seriously?!"

In the Hokage's office, the Uchiha elder seemed a little exasperated.

"First of all, Konoha does not need to inform the family to which it belongs when transferring any family members."

"And there are very few Uchiha clan members going to the Fire Rain Battlefield. Does Konoha need your consent before allowing an Uchiha Genin to go to the battlefield?" Utane Koharu spoke in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

"Advisor Hokage, please stop talking nonsense and changing the subject. I was talking about the notification. The Uchiha clan never said that Konoha is not allowed to mobilize troops!" The Uchiha elder glared at her and retorted harshly.

"Then shouldn't you reflect on why your family members didn't even tell the family about such a big thing as going to the Rain Country to participate in the war? How dare you turn around and blame us for not informing you?" Utane Koharu sneered with a cold face.

"you……"

"Okay..." Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe to stop the quarrel between the two.

"I have asked Liuyun about your question, and he said there was no need to let the family know, and he also specifically told him to keep it a secret from his mother Asuka...

And we didn't publicize his promotion to jonin because of his safety."

"You know, being too famous is not a good thing. If other countries know about a 12-year-old Jonin, he will inevitably be deliberately targeted..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained patiently, but unfortunately his words were not recognized by the Uchiha elder.

"I don't know, I only know his last name is Uchiha, and we, the Uchiha clan, have the right to know!"

After saying this, the Great Uchiha Elder turned away.

A war hero would be of great help to the Uchiha clan. Liuyun was equivalent to an extremely high-quality political bargaining chip, and he was also related to the Sannin, the future preferred successor to the Hokage.

How big will the political role be in the future? The Uchiha clan's high-ranking officials know that it cannot be underestimated.
