Chapter 70: Seizing Konoha
The sun rises and the moon sets.
After a whole day, the turmoil on the battlefield gradually subsided.
A few kilometers away, in the crevice of the rocks, a small white snake swam away.
……
In a cave.
There were several people around the campfire.
Jiraiya broke the illusion cast by Minato Namikaze.
However, due to excessive chakra consumption and the impact of illusion on his mind, he was still in a coma.
A small snake swam in from the cave entrance and crawled into Orochimaru's sleeve.
"How is the situation...?"
Jiraiya looked extremely dejected.
He tried to help Uchiha Kagami many times, but Orochimaru, who was really annoyed, directly threatened Minato's life.
They weren't too far from the main battlefield, and Jiraiya knew the battle should be over.
Orochimaru's pupils shrank sharply and his brows were furrowed.
……
"Yes... Uchiha Kagami... won..."
He received the images that the White Snake saw.
It's really hard to imagine...that's the level that a ninja can achieve.
The tailed beasts that all ninjas feared were powerless to resist those eyes.
The elite troops of Kumogakure are no different from ordinary Genin on such a battlefield.
In the end, the armless Third Raikage retreated to cover the remaining subordinates...
Died in battle.
Oonoki's legs were cut off.
The Five-Tails Jinchuriki paid the price of his life to allow Lao Zi to take Ōnoki to escape.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed again...
……
This is really...
Is it something humans can do?
It's just like the legendary first Hokage that the old man talked about...
Orochimaru quickly calmed down.
Bite your finger and press it to the ground.
A green python as thick as a bowl was summoned by him.
This was the snake he left at Kannabi Bridge, and he ordered it to gather information and return to Ryuchi Cave to wait for communication.
Before this, Orochimaru didn't want to know what was happening over there. Minato showed no signs of waking up, so it would be useless even if he knew.
But now...
He had to know the old man's situation to determine his next move.
……
The green snake spoke human language.
"Lord Orochimaru, I hope you are mentally prepared."
……
Not only Orochimaru, Jiraiya's heart also skipped a beat.
"Green Snake... the old man is dead..."
The green snake was silent for a moment, then continued to speak.
"After the battle, Iwagakure used its absolute advantage in numbers to cause the deaths of a large number of Konoha ninjas."
"In order to cover the evacuation of the remaining Konoha ninjas, the Sandaime faced off against the 14,000 Iwagakure alone."
"One day and one night, just two hours before you summoned me..."
"Died in battle."
……
"After suffering heavy casualties, Iwagakure also began to evacuate."
"The war over there...is over."
……
……
"I see... Old man, you picked a good way to die."
Orochimaru wasn't very sad.
It’s okay, teacher.
I will find you back from the Pure Land!
And those few...
"As you instructed, I took a piece of the Sandaime Hokage's flesh."
The green snake spat out a piece of flesh wrapped in mucus, and with a bang, it released its spiritual power and returned to Longdi Cave.
Although it is a cold-blooded animal, it still understands some human emotions.
It would be impolite to keep it.
……
"Orochimaru...what do you want to do..."
Orochimaru stood up, clutching the ball of flesh tightly, his voice low.
"I want to go back to Konoha."
"Succeed as the Fourth Hokage."
"Prepare and..."
"The War of the Uchiha Clan!"
Jiraiya struggled for a long time, but couldn't help but speak.
"Jing has no intention of harming the village. Why do you have such a deep prejudice against Uchiha like the old man and others?"
He gave Jiraiya a deep look.
Orochimaru said indifferently.
"Go travel, Jiraiya."
"Go find your child of prophecy."
When the time came, Jiraiya still couldn't let go of everything so easily.
"Has Jing ever hurt his fellow villagers?"
"We can still sit down and talk. The Uchiha have great power. As long as they are given the status they deserve..."
"You are still so childish, Jiraiya..."
"Can't you see that even the position of Hokage cannot satisfy Uchiha Kagami's appetite?"
Orochimaru looked out of the cave with a deep gaze.
"This is a battle of ideologies. The village to which the old man has devoted everything cannot be handed over to the Uchiha."
"But……"
"enough!"
"I'm the Hokage, not you!"
-
-
On the broken earth.
There were broken limbs and debris everywhere, and blood was flowing in the cracks of the rocks.
Uchiha Jing tore off his tattered shirt, and the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He formed seals with his hands and summoned the giant eagle.
He picked up the unconscious Kushina by her collar and threw her onto the giant eagle's back.
Uchiha Jing jumped onto the eagle's back.
An eagle's cry resounded through the sky and flew eastward.
-
Eastern Front.
The Uchiha clan members scattered across the country received a special message from the clan.
They simply put down the tasks they were performing and gathered together.
This phenomenon could not have been concealed from the Eastern Front commander-in-chief Nara Shikahisa.
On the one hand, he sent people to contact the village to report the situation, and at the same time, he asked Hinata and other ninjas scattered on the battlefield to reunite.
The conflict between the Uchiha and the village has a long history, so it would not be surprising if it broke out at any time.
Nara Shikaku even suspected... that the Uchiha clan was now plotting a rebellion!
……
noon.
An open space on a cliff.
Uchiha Jing looked at the clansmen who arrived one after another, and just by sensing with his pupil power, he could tell to what extent their eyes had been opened.
They waited until evening, and now all the Uchiha clan members on the eastern front had arrived.
Of the more than 700 people who went to the battle, only more than 300 were left.
Very few were able to escape from the battle and return to the village after being injured.
There aren't many medical ninjas, and getting injured on the battlefield is sometimes synonymous with death.
The Uchiha members present did not talk to each other; it was eerily quiet.
Most of the Uchiha who survived the war opened their Sharingan. Those who really didn't have the ability to open their eyes also had some attainments in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
Each Uchiha will be assigned to the most dangerous position.
The fact that you've survived speaks volumes.
……
Xuanhuo and Yunjian stood behind Uchiha Jing.
They saw something strange in Uchiha Kagami's right eye, but did not dare to ask.
"Everyone is here..."
Uchiha Jing's indifferent voice sounded.
"Now, I announce the first patriarch's order."
"In seven days, capture Konoha."
brush……
During the field, many Uchiha opened their Sharingan due to their emotional excitement.
"You are my clan, and you are well aware of the Uchiha clan's situation."
"If there are those who don't want to participate, I can give you a chance..."
"Leave the eye behind and leave the Uchiha clan."
The words fell.
Four magatama slowly appeared in Uchiha Kagami's eye sockets, connecting to form a four-diamond pattern.
An extremely condensed pupil power gushed out.
The air is like gelatin, making it impossible to move!
The oppressive feeling of the sky falling and the earth collapsing hit everyone's heart. They began to tremble instinctively as if they were facing a higher-level life form!
The Uchiha with the Sharingan can clearly sense...
There is a world of difference in pupil power.
no doubt……
This is definitely a legendary kaleidoscope!
The Uchiha clan's power is comparable to that of God!
……
The pupil power dissipated like the tide, and everyone felt that they could breathe smoothly.
"Now, those who want to leave, stand up."
……
No one came out.
Pairs of blood-red eyes opened in the dusk.
Our ancestors have already made the wrong choice once.
This time, Uchiha will never be wrong again!
