Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

Country of Fields.

in the dark.

A troop is rushing forward.

call out--

The moment his toes touched the branch, chakra gathered in his legs, and with only a slight bend in the branch, Uchiha was instantly propelled more than twenty meters away.

Beside him, a handsome young man from the Hyuga clan, dressed in a black bodysuit and a green Chunin vest, followed closely.

All around were five hundred elite ninja soldiers from the Sarutobi clan, a mixed force of Jonin, Chunin, and veteran Genin.

On a moral high ground, these people would rather die in battle than dare to owe anything in return.

—Even if the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Shu used them as cannon fodder and sent them to the front lines of the Land of Lightning to fill gaps, they still had to obey orders when issuing commands in the name of the Shadow.

Unless they are willing to abandon their families and their family's reputation, they are determined to surrender to the enemy on the battlefield.

In response, the Sarutobi clan demonstrated their stance with concrete actions: the night before last, having just received a secret letter from the Raikage's envoy, they promptly handed over the unopened handwritten letter to Tsunade.

An elder bluntly stated that two generations could die in battle to pay a blood tax for the new Hokage and prove their loyalty.

Moreover, there were thirty Uchiha Jonin, a senior Uchiha elder, and an Anbu tactical squad acting as supervisors along the way!

"It's still more than 100 kilometers from the northeastern border."

"Soon."

As Uchiha Setsuna sped along, he silently estimated the distance.

The existence of the Land of the Moon and the Land of the Thousand Fields is entirely due to the need for sufficient strategic buffer zones between major powers.

Once the balance is broken, you can freely insert and deploy ninja troops.

Who cares about the interests of a weak nation anymore!

Just then, the Hyuga boy accompanying the army stopped abruptly, stomping heavily on a rock and abruptly coming to a halt.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Three figures quickly converged on him.

"What's wrong, Kenichiro? Something's up?"

Uchiha Setsuna said softly, his face expressionless.

The boy with the white eyes, who was covering the caged bird with his headband, nodded, his body trembling involuntarily, as if he had seen some kind of demon:

"Setsuna, Setsuna-senpai, there are two terrifying chakra reactions in the cave on the high ground 800 meters to the left, just like the Nine-Tails' Night."

Tailed Beast?

Could it be that the Land of Lightning has already deployed strategic weapons here? What are the frontline troops doing?!

Despite having a powerful sensory squad consisting of Hyuga clan Jonin, Yamanaka clan Jonin, and ninja insects and dogs, they were clearly assigned to guard the area.

A gentle breeze blew through the forest, and Uchiha Setsuna, Sarutobi Taku, and Morino Ibiki all instinctively became alert.

Killer Bee, the perfect Jinchūriki.

The perfect Jinchūriki, Nii Yugito.

The Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning has achieved such extraordinary results in training the tailed beasts that they are the envy of many.

"So, what should we do?" The Jonin of the Sarutobi clan looked at Uchiha Setsuna with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Hmph, even the Hokage isn't afraid to sacrifice himself, leading his troops deep into enemy territory. What chance do I have?"

With that, Uchiha Setsuna gave a deep order: "Anbu Akainu squad, immediately take the intelligence back to the village and inform Lady Tsunade."

"The rest of you follow me, let's go!"

"Anbu Sealing Team, prepare to restrict the Jinchuriki."

"yes!"

He gave twelve mature Sharingan to Uchiha Shu, three to the clan head Fugaku and one to Shisui, and kept only two three-tomoe Sharingan for himself. He was certainly not a coward.

Including the original eye, it provides over five minutes of invincibility.

That's enough...

However, just as the hawkish elders were preparing to make their sacrifice, three familiar figures came into view.

Genma Squad.

My own family?

These three ninjas, who had served as guards of the Fourth Hokage and were capable of performing the Flying Thunder God Formation together, were leaping into the cave from another direction.

Not long ago, Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tsubasa were personally selected by the Fifth Generation to join the new generation of the Shadow Guard.

"Crack!"

Deep inside the cave, a piece of firewood crackled slightly in the fire.

The aroma of roasted meat filled the air.

Having just eaten the secret-recipe soldier's rations and regained some strength, Jiraiya sat cross-legged in front of two large fish stuck on wooden sticks.

Judging from the heat, the surface is slightly dry, so it must have been baked for a short time.

Exhausted, Shisui rested his head on a protruding rock face, closing his eyes to recuperate.

Hyuga Tokuma, who was on guard duty, looked helplessly at the cave entrance:

"They've all arrived."

Unexpectedly, the Hokage chose a landing point right next to the reinforcements' marching route, thus attracting his own people.

Obito, who had been hit by Kotoamatsukami, remained silent and took on the heavy responsibility, using his single eye to maintain the Mangekyou genjutsu on the steam ninja Han and the Five-Tails Kokuo.

That's right, Uchiha Shu has already chosen his first Pokémon.

Four-tailed – Sun Wukong.

There's a saying in the ninja world that the more tails you have, the more chakra you have.

But this principle seems to only apply to the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails.

The other tailed beasts each have their own unique strengths.

Shukaku of the Sand Village, with the fewest tails, is an expert in sealing techniques and excels in desert warfare or other windy special areas.

The Four-Tails is a giant red ape with the Lava Release bloodline limit, which allows it to control magma. It is both offensive and defensive, and boasts of its monstrous strength. It originally lived in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain in the ninja world.

Compared to King Mu, Uchiha Shu, who is skilled in fire-style techniques and intends to further develop this skill, prefers it.

"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama." Genma Shiranui stepped into the cave, greeted them softly, and nodded to the others in return.

"Did the operation really succeed?"

"So fast!"

Both men, Lei Tong and Die Yiwashi, looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Lava Release ninja Roshi and the Steam Ninja Han were both Kage-level powerhouses who rose to fame in the last Shinobi World War and faced Minato Namikaze without fear. Naturally, they couldn't possibly mistake one for the other.

"Hokage-sama!"

Uchiha Setsuna followed closely behind, arriving in an instant.

His gaze immediately locked onto Uchiha Xiu, who had taken off his shirt and was covered in runes.

A few steps away, a miniature torii-shaped wooden door pressed down on a round-faced, bearded man who fell into a coma. Hot and violent lava chakra was constantly overflowing from his body, and crimson mist swirled around him.

However, the fluctuations were completely locked down by the Five Elements Seal, Fire Sealing Seal, and Wood Release Barrier that Uchiha Shu and Jiraiya had set up in advance, preventing any leakage outwards.

"The Iwagakure collapse plan was a great success; all that's left is to take down Onoki."

Since the Hokage couldn't be distracted, Jiraiya had no choice but to issue orders for the time being: "Elder Setsuna, continue marching according to the Fifth Hokage's previous instructions. Don't let the Rai barbarian gain the upper hand on the northeastern front."

Zhi Shui opened his eyes at the right moment, looking tired, and nodded to signal the family elders to quickly lead the army away so as not to affect the established plan.

"Yes."

Having stumbled upon this scene by accident, he immediately looked away.

Use your job title when you're at work!

We must never let Xiu's Hokage dignity be affected, nor should he act arrogantly based on his seniority. This is a consensus among the entire Uchiha clan.

After giving Obito the One-Eyed One one last glance, Setsuna Uchiha decisively turned and left.

In fact, with the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the characteristics of Wood Release, and abundant chakra, there is no danger in forcibly extracting and absorbing the Tailed Beasts by himself, and there is no need for outsiders to worry!

Two hours later, Uchiha Shu finished with his last hand seal.

hum-

Visible magma chakra transformed into a thick torrent, forcibly dragged out from Roshi's abdomen.

Amidst the torrent, carrying the blazing power of the Four-Tailed Monkey King's Lava Release, a blurry phantom of a giant ape could be vaguely glimpsed.

"Flying Thunder God Formation, activate!"

Seeing this, three Shadow Guards special ninjas surrounded Uchiha Shu, who had voluntarily become a Jinchuriki.

In Konoha Village, the sealing team is on duty 24 hours a day.

Once the Hokage appears in the open space marked with the Flying Thunder God seal, they will join forces to cast the Four Symbols Seal, creating an inner space within the Eight Trigrams, and securely placing Sun Wukong inside.
