Naruto: The Uchiha Calabash Brothers are reshaping the ninja world

Chapter 97 Hidden Clouds and Mist, Startling Leaf Village

Three days passed quietly, and Kirigakure did indeed take no action as Uchiha Mo had said, while Konoha's reinforcements arrived at the border of the Land of Whirlpools at noon on the third day.

Meanwhile, a major event also occurred during these three days.

Onoki had ambushed 10,000 ninja along the retreat route of the Cloud Village army. Even though the Cloud Village reacted quickly and launched a counterattack, they were already located within the Land of Earth and had lost the initiative.

In just over a day, the army that Kumogakure had deployed on the Sunagakure battlefield was completely wiped out!

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Before the Hidden Cloud Village could recover from their heavy losses, they were suddenly struck by the fact that the Third Raikage, who had been sent to assassinate Uchiha Mo, had still not returned with any news, while Uchiha Mo had reappeared unharmed on the Hidden Mist battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools.

The very next day, news spread through the Konoha army that Mo had single-handedly killed the Third Raikage.

The news was so shocking that it spread incredibly fast. In just one day, all the well-informed forces in the ninja world had received the news!

From then on, the name "Blood Ninja" became awe-inspiring throughout the entire ninja world!

For a time, his name even slightly overshadowed the long-established "Three Legendary Sannin," especially the then-popular "Konoha White Fang"!

Under the double blow, the Hidden Cloud Village almost completely abandoned the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs northeast of Konoha. The army retreated directly to the border of the Land of Hot Springs, and the "Abby" duo has not appeared on the front lines for a long time.

With the pressure on the northeastern front significantly reduced, Konoha focused more of its attention on the battlefields of Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

"Lord Mizukage! It's confirmed that the Third Raikage died at the hands of the Blood Ninja, and his defeat led to the fall of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist—so those seven swords should now be in the hands of Uchiha Sumire. Therefore, we cannot retrieve any of them whether we use the Summoning Scroll or search for clues."

A bald man with dry, aged skin sat in a chair next to the Mizukage's office, leaning on a cane, and said this.

The Third Mizukage frowned, sighed, and shook his head, saying, "If I had known the Third Raikage was so useless, I shouldn't have agreed to cooperate with him—"

His expression held a hint of regret as he asked doubtfully, "Is Uchiha Mo really that outrageous? If I remember correctly, he's only twelve years old, right? A twelve-year-old can defeat the Third Raikage? Is this what they call the strongest spear and the strongest shield?"

"Lord Mizukage, the most urgent task is to retrieve those seven ninja swords! They are the most precious legacy of Kirigakure!" The bald man said anxiously.

The Third Mizukage rubbed his temples and waved his hand. "Let the army heading to the Iwagakure battlefield set off. After they begin their operation, I will personally go to the Land of Whirlpools to retrieve my ninja sword."

"In just two short years, Blood Ninja has gone from a rising brat to a powerful figure capable of killing the Third Raikage —"

As he spoke, the Third Mizukage stood up, stood by the window, and gazed intently at the battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools. The image of a long-haired man involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"No matter what, this kind of existence must be nipped in the bud! Even if it weren't for the sake of the ninja sword, I can't sit idly by and wait to die. The ninja world cannot have a second—Uchiha Madara!"

The Third Mizukage's voice was powerful and resonant.

He was also a ninja who had come all the way from the Warring States period. He had served as the bodyguard of the First Mizukage and participated in the first Five Kage Summit. His experience even far exceeded that of Onoki, so he deeply understood how terrifying that kind of existence was!

Faced with such extraordinary and unparalleled personal power, both ninjas and nations would appear as insignificant as ants.

"This—" Master Yuan frowned, saying with some worry, "But Lord Mizukage—this brat can't even—"

Before he could finish speaking, the Third Mizukage turned around and interrupted him.

"No need to worry. My Water Release has a natural counter to the Uchiha's Fire Release, and I'm not a fool like the Raikage."

With that, he walked back to his seat and sat down.

"However, just to be on the safe side, you should have Bone Peptide make some preparations. Tomorrow, bring the elite of the Kaguya clan with you."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

Kaguya Bone Peptide is currently the head of the Kaguya clan, which is also the strongest bloodline family in Kirigakure. If these people are brought along, the chances of success will indeed be much greater, and at the very least, they can retreat safely.

"I see."

Master Yuan replied, and then slowly left the Water Shadow's office, leaning on his strangely shaped cane.

In the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, put down the battle report in his hand, rubbed his temples, and placed the packed tobacco back on the table.

"Why----"

Uchiha Mo's military achievements are growing, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but Hiruzen Sarutobi is very worried that this will cause the Uchiha clan to have designs on the Hokage position.

And the Uchiha—

He sat motionless in his seat. After a while, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside, violently blowing open the window of the Hokage's office, which slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

"Bang!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was suddenly awakened. He got up and went to the window to close it, but just as he put his hands on the window frame, the gust of wind suddenly stopped.

The old man didn't pay attention, and just continued to push his hands to close the window and lock it tightly.

Back in his seat, Hiruzen Sarutobi lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, took a deep drag, and then carefully put the battle report back into the drawer.

"Fine, Konoha is in dire need of manpower right now. Let's bring the Uchiha back after the battlefield in Kirigakure stabilizes."

In the Land of Whirlpools, within the Konoha army.

-

Mo let out a long sigh and raised his right hand, which was resting on the sword in his hand.

As he moved his hand away, a clear Uchiha clan crest appeared in the previously covered position.

During this time, he has been practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Unfortunately, Mo's talent in spatial and temporal perception was simply not that great. In three days, he could only barely manage to construct the "Flying Thunder God Seal" using his own chakra.

The training of the Flying Thunder God Technique can be roughly divided into three parts. The first part is to use one's own chakra to construct a "space-time coordinate imprint", which is the so-called Flying Thunder God imprint. The second part is to perceive the imprint constructed by oneself.

The third and final stage involves using mental energy to communicate with the imprint and achieve instantaneous "teleportation".

It seems simple, but so far, Mo has not sensed the presence of any mark. This is because this perception is not the conventional sense of presence, but rather the perception of something far more hidden within the spacetime continuum—

Fortunately, Mo seems to have a pretty good talent for Yin-Yang Release. After several months of research, he can be said to have completely mastered it. Now, as long as his Yin-Yang Release skills are sufficient, he can immediately conjure a "chakra rod" out of thin air.

In addition, after the last surge in Yin Escape techniques, he seemed to be able to vaguely see some of the contents of the ancient book related to the "Six Paths Forbidden Techniques".

"Nisan!" Shisui's voice suddenly called from outside the tent.
