Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

The Uchiha clan, also a top-tier clan, was slaughtered until only a rogue ninja and an orphan remained.

I initially felt sympathy and pity for them.

But now,

Everyone was naturally extremely resentful of the Third Hokage's treatment of the F4, but they also began to feel angry at the Uchiha for their lack of ambition.

There should be a limit to how brain-dead people can be, right?

Isn't that a bit too much?

Chapter 69 Golden Flash and Shisui (The Body Flicker)

Compared to the swift and decisive Second Shinobi World War, the Third Shinobi World War lasted an exceptionally long time and was far more complex.

Four years have passed since the Third Kazekage disappeared in Konoha 45.

But the war showed no signs of stopping; on the contrary, it intensified and was on the verge of escalating to a fever pitch.

Faced with the continuous siege and attrition of the four major ninja villages for four years,

Even Konoha, with its abundant resources, is gradually starting to falter.

The ninja academy not only significantly lowered its admission requirements—anyone who could use a little chakra could attend—

The graduation age has been adjusted several times, changing from the original six-year system to a three-year system.

Even war orphans brought from outside the village, as long as they meet the requirements, are allowed to enter the Ninja Academy and graduate normally to become Konoha ninjas.

With the child in such a state, the elderly naturally wouldn't let it go either.

The old guard of each family, whether retired ninjas or hidden forces considered to be the foundation of their power, were all ordered to join the battlefield.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi himself appeared very kind, open-minded, and warm, it seemed that everything was negotiable.

But the gleaming bayonet at the base, and the cold, bloodthirsty look in Danzo's eyes, spoke volumes without words.

If you want to be dignified, I'll give you dignity. If you don't want to be dignified, then I'll make sure you are dignified. Then we'll see who's not dignified.

If someone gives you face, you should accept it with both hands. Don't be ungrateful, or it will be bad for everyone.

Under these circumstances, the Uchiha clan ultimately stepped onto the battlefield of the Land of Water.

Furthermore, almost the entire clan was mobilized, leaving only women and children like Mikoto behind; even the elderly and weak were taken away.

It is especially worth mentioning that,

That idiot Fugaku Uchiha, that lunatic, claimed he wanted to set an example and make his children grow up and mature earlier.

He also brought his son, Itachi Uchiha, who was only four years old, to the battlefield.

Mikoto cried her eyes out, but there was nothing she could do but watch helplessly as her child was taken away.

While Zhuge Liang was undoubtedly a top-tier strategist, Pang Tong was equally formidable.

Without a doubt, and without any surprise,

When Itachi Uchiha first entered the battlefield, he witnessed the horrific scene of corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood, and the brutal reality of people fighting each other to the point of utter ruthlessness.

I was completely terrified.

At just four years old, having seen and learned nothing of the world, she was already contemplating life and the meaning of living.

Even after being told that life has no meaning, he jumped off a cliff in despair and committed suicide, using death to experience the meaning of life.

What does four years old mean?

He's still at the age where he thinks his dad is the most awesome and powerful person in the world.

It's an age when people are full of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, and are even amazed to see birds flying.

The human brain matures around age three and gradually erases all memories from before age three.

Therefore, it wasn't until the age of four that I truly began to have some understanding of the world.

While others were still debating whose father was more powerful, Itachi Uchiha had already begun to explore the meaning of life's birth and existence.

This is not precociousness, maturity, or genius; it is a disease.

as predicted,

Uchiha Itachi, who was originally quite normal and just a little smarter than the average child, started acting strangely.

It's as if I've never truly left that scene behind.

Almost every day, even every moment, I'm thinking about some amazing questions.

Life, death, peace, war, family, village, world...

Furthermore, it is not done by asking others, consulting books and materials, or observing, researching, analyzing, and summarizing social phenomena.

He just sat there alone, silently thinking, just thinking, daydreaming, forcing himself to think.

He hadn't started school yet, and hadn't tried to understand the world through other means.

They are completely unaware and unaware that many things were already known, experienced, and concluded by their predecessors.

Fifty years into the history of Konoha, which is two years after the Uchiha clan took over the battlefield in the Land of Water.

On both the eastern and western fronts, a dazzling ultimate genius emerged, one whose brilliance even made veteran powerhouses feel ashamed of their own inferiority.

Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha.

Minato Namikaze, with his incredibly fast reflexes and the second-ever mastery of the overpowered space-time ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique,

In addition, according to him, he is not very good at or skilled at the Perfect Sage Mode, yet he can activate it instantly.

He single-handedly challenged the renowned Cloud Village AB duo on the battlefield of the Land of Lightning.

This rendered the Raikage's successor and the perfect Jinchuriki unable to function, turning them into mere decorations.

And at the most dangerous moment,

Deep into the rear of the Land of Earth, they instantly killed fifty enemy Jonin, breaking the backbone of the Iwa ninja in a single battle.

Destroy its logistical supply routes, protect the defensive facilities along those routes, and establish underground fortifications for the defensive forces.

It can be said that he single-handedly changed the course of the war.

After that, the Land of Earth made peace and retreated to its own ninja village.

Fearing a raid on their home, the Hidden Cloud Village hastily returned to the village, only to be ambushed on the way.

To preserve the foundation of the ninja village, the Third Raikage single-handedly fought against tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninja soldiers, holding them off for three days and three nights.

In this battle, the strongest Raikage, the Third Raikage, who possessed the titles of strongest spear and strongest shield, was killed on the spot.

The losses were not unbearable.

Following the instantaneous killing of fifty Jonin by a powerful attack, thousands more ordinary ninjas from Iwagakure were crushed by basic attacks.

They suffered a huge loss, had no way to express their grievances, and were utterly humiliated.

On the battlefield of the Land of Water, Shisui, despite being slightly less famous and having fewer battle records than the Yellow Flash,

However, the power of the Uchiha clan was enough to leave the entire Hidden Mist Village speechless. He was the primary contributor, the sharpest blade, and the strongest shield.

Not only does he possess genjutsu skills far exceeding those of ordinary Sharingan users, but his mastery of Body Flicker Technique is also extraordinary.

Even more terrifying, he combined the two to create a move called Illusionary Instantaneous Body.

Ordinary clones, and even more advanced attribute clones and bloodline limit clones, all have two fatal flaws.

First, it will disappear automatically once the damage exceeds a certain level.

Secondly, the need to divide chakra equally will reduce the user's combat power.

Uchiha Shisui's Genshin Impact clone is the most common E-rank clone technique, a basic ninjutsu that all ninja academy students know.

After incorporating the characteristics of illusion, the initial weakness of being easily detected completely disappears.

Secondly, when you attack your opponent, it's like hitting an illusion; you'll be directly penetrated.

But if you truly believe it doesn't exist and dare to ignore it...

Yet it can immediately replace itself and unleash a critical strike, letting you experience what it means to be utterly chilled and exhilarated.

Besides rising stars like Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha, who are making their mark and emerging as talents...

The veteran powerhouses of Konoha were not idle either.

Orochimaru exploited the Sand Village's eagerness for quick success, luring them deep into a trap to ensure their survival.

They lured the Sand Ninja to Mount Kikyo on the border of Konoha.

Then, he risked his life to fight to the death, resisting relentlessly and pinning the old woman Chiyo to the entrance just a foot away from Konoha.

Meanwhile, Danzo, along with the Root organization, launched a brutal attack on Sunagakure's already ridiculously long logistics lines.

The Land of Wind was already lacking in resources.

With no progress at the front and insufficient reinforcements at the rear, the situation quickly became unsustainable.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, true to form and capable, actively negotiated peace with various countries.

After promising a host of benefits, the Third Shinobi World War finally came to an end.

Chapter 70 Within three feet of a sleeping dragon, there must be a phoenix chick; The Ultimate Child

"What? You don't want compensation?"

The end of the war should have been a joyous occasion.

However, within the Uchiha police department, the crowd was once again incredibly excited.

This is because the wise and virtuous Hokage waived all war reparations.

The entire Uchiha clan, and indeed all the ninjas of Konoha, were completely dumbfounded.

I was completely stunned and speechless by this amazing decision.

If they're waiving compensation, then what were all those ninjas fighting to the death for? Did they just think it was fun?

What does such a huge sacrifice matter? Is it just to fill the blank space on the memorial tablet?
