Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Just as the old year was bidding farewell and the new year was beginning, conflicts between major powers finally erupted.

The uneven economic development between countries has led to a widening economic gap, resulting in the rise of militant factions in ninja villages in various countries.

These forces, under the pretext of increasing equal privileges, promote the use of force to expand their influence and plunder resources.

The conflicts between countries gradually escalated, finally causing great turmoil in the situation that year.

Following the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning, the remaining three major nations almost simultaneously declared a state of war.

All the countries unanimously chose to place the main battlefield within the territory of the Land of Rain.

The Second Shinobi World War thus began.

In the Land of Fire, within a forest.

It was the dead of night, the sky was shrouded in darkness, and the bright moon hung in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the forest.

However, at this moment, Yintang Gang was in no mood to appreciate the night view in front of him.

As a Jonin of Kumogakure, he was ordered by the Raikage to lead a 10-man squad to infiltrate the Land of Fire on a mission.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning.

The vast forests within the Land of Fire provide excellent cover for them.

However, just as they approached the outskirts of Konoha Village, an unexpected incident occurred.

"what!"

Another scream rang out not far from him.

He was certain that the voice came from one of his teammates.

In fact, 10 minutes earlier, he had already realized that his team had been targeted by someone from Konoha.

This is the second team member to die, following the first scream five minutes earlier.

However, what sent chills down his spine was that he still couldn't see the entity that had ambushed them.

Although the team members he brought this time were only Chunin, they were all carefully selected ninjas with rich combat experience.

Even so, these people were completely unable to resist the Konoha ninja hidden in the darkness.

At this moment, his forehead was pressed tightly against the trunk of a tree, and cold sweat involuntarily trickled down his forehead, eventually dripping from his cheeks to the ground.

A mysterious silence enveloped him, and in the quiet he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

"what!"

With another scream from a teammate, he could no longer hide.

He put his hand to his mouth and whistled loudly.

This is the signal for their gathering.

Because he was worried that too many people would make it difficult to hide after entering the outskirts of Konoha Village, he chose to have all his team members spread out and proceed.

This is one of the reasons why the enemy was able to ambush them.

But now that their whereabouts have obviously been discovered, there's no point in hiding them anymore.

Instead of doing that, we should quickly gather together to kill the lurking enemy.

However, after he blew his whistle and stood there waiting for several seconds, the figure of the team member he had imagined still did not appear.

Looking at the dark, gloomy surroundings, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Could it be...

Just as he was pondering this, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.

I said...

"You can't be so naive as to think that if I eliminate you Chunin, I'll still have a chance to give you a chance to speak, can you?"

Upon hearing this voice that seemed to come from hell, Yintang Gang's muscles tensed, and he immediately turned around to be on guard.

Under the bright, white moonlight, a handsome young man with black hair stood on a tree trunk behind him.

In contrast to his tense state, the young man appeared relaxed.

Judging from the shuriken held in the other person's right hand and the bright red bloodstains on it, this person was the mysterious one who attacked their team.

This person is none other than Kagura.

With the war officially underway, as a Jonin of Konoha, he obviously had to follow the village's arrangements and begin carrying out missions.

What Yintang Gang didn't know was that Konoha had already started to notice their team two days earlier and had begun to track them continuously.

As they continued their stealthy advance and were finally about to approach Konoha Village, the higher-ups no longer waited and instead dispatched Kagura to annihilate the team.

Looking at the young man's appearance and his signature Mangekyou Sharingan, Yintang Gang instantly recognized the person in front of him.

He gripped his weapon tightly, and spoke in a slightly trembling voice:

"Who are you...

"You are that legendary 'monster,' Uchiha Kagura!"

As Kagura has grown and the number of missions he has undertaken in recent years has increased, the name "Monster" has become well-known throughout the ninja world.

Moreover, his signature Mangekyou Sharingan has become his personal trademark.

After all, in the current ninja world, apart from Madara Uchiha, who hid and whose evolution of the Rinnegan was unknown to others, he is the only one who possesses such eyes.

Therefore, Kagura had no doubts about the fact that the other party recognized her.

He looked up at the man's prominent forehead and said in a relaxed tone:

“Those screams were deliberately made by me.”

After all, finding your exact location in such a large forest is no easy task.

Therefore, the only solution is to make you automatically sound a whistle to actively reveal your location.

Those lighthearted words struck Yintanggang's heart like a heavy hammer.

He said incredulously:

"So in just ten minutes, my ten men..."

"Oh? Is the quantity ten?"

"Then that's it. Don't worry, they've already passed away peacefully in this forest."

Before Yintang could finish speaking, Kagura took the initiative to speak.

"Don't worry, you are worth more than them."

Next...

Before she finished speaking, Kagura had already looked up and stared at Gondo in front of her.

As he moved, his Mangekyou Sharingan began to slowly rotate.

The moment Yintang Gang saw those mysterious yet beautiful eyes, a bad feeling arose in his mind.

But his reaction was too late. Just as he was about to retaliate, he found that his body was no longer under his control.

Just as despair appeared on his face, Kagura's voice rang in his ears again.

"Since you've come all this way to Konoha, please come back to the village with me as a guest."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

Half an hour later, in a clearing outside the forest.

A small team from Konoha was waiting here at that moment.

Although they had been waiting for a long time, these people did not show any signs of impatience.

Fortunately, their waiting time was not long before the captain saw a dark figure appear deep in the forest.

That was Kagura, who had carried the unconscious Gindo Tsuyoshi on her right shoulder.

He walked up to the group and casually tossed the target to the ground.

Having completed her mission, Kagura seemed as relaxed as if she had merely taken a leisurely stroll through the forest, saying with a carefree expression:

"Hey, this is their captain."

I'll leave the rest to you now; I'm heading back first.

Ugh, it's so hard to get a good night's sleep.

After saying that, he yawned and turned to slowly walk away from Konoha.

Faced with Kagura's actions, the squad leader remained silent from beginning to end, only respectfully bowing to her departing figure.

After Kagura had gone far away, he straightened up again, looked in the direction of Konoha, and muttered to himself:

"Is this the 'monster' of the Uchiha clan...?"

Chapter 25 The Demigods' Declaration of War

That squad from Konoha were members of the Konoha Torture Squad.

Kagura's mission was to annihilate the squad and capture their leader, a Jonin, so that she could interrogate him to find out the enemy's purpose.

Clearly, Kagura, who possesses the Sharingan, is the most suitable candidate to carry out this mission.

The waiting team had no idea that Kagura would bring the mission target to them in just one hour after entering the forest.

This inevitably drew everyone's respect and the squad leader's admiration.

Kagura, oblivious to what others thought, was lost in thought as she walked back to the village.

This war started a few years earlier than he remembered. If things had gone according to plan, this war should have broken out in Konoha 37.

Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, is just about to graduate. After all, in the original story, Nawaki's death occurred in the early stages of the Second Shinobi World War.

It seems that my existence has once again triggered the butterfly effect in this world, leading to the premature outbreak of war.

Of course, Madara Uchiha was definitely behind this.

Kagura knew very well that she could neither avoid nor stop this war.
