The world I hear is completely different from yours.

"They actually possess such terrifying power?!" Madara Uchiha frowned, pondering this powerful variable outside of his plan. "What about Konoha? Aren't they already at war with the Sand Village?"

At this point, Madara and Zetsu don't possess particularly strong martial prowess, making it impossible for them to achieve their goals directly through force.

Therefore, they need to create turmoil and frequent conflicts throughout the ninja world so that they can take advantage of the chaos and expand their own power.

Therefore, Madara Uchiha was naturally very concerned about the ongoing war between Konoha and Sand Village.

"The first battle of that war is over, and Konoha won a crushing victory. As for how Konoha won, it was by using air superiority and a prolonged bombing campaign to secure the victory." Black Zetsu then pointed to a White Zetsu behind him, which was unusually quiet amidst the noise. "It was near that battlefield at the time, and it has now been completely deafened by the explosions."

"No! Konoha's victory was too quick! This won't do. What we need is a world where everything is in a state of mutual restraint, where no one side can gain an absolute advantage!" Uchiha Madara said, enunciating each word clearly. "Launch the next phase of our plan ahead of schedule, get our previously planted agents in various countries to take action, and guide the other four major powers to form a unified alliance against Konoha!"

Chapter 41 A Group of Sand Ninja with Sharingan

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and the legendary Rinnegan are collectively known as the three great dojutsu (eye techniques) of the Naruto world. The Uchiha clan relied on the Sharingan to establish their formidable reputation during the turbulent Warring States period. Their outstanding performance in the First and Second Shinobi World Wars further solidified the impression of the Sharingan's immense power.

At the same time, all of this further deepened the gap between bloodstained ninjas and other ordinary ninjas. Why are you born with such immense power, while I have to train day and night from birth, only to have you completely overpower me with a single awakening? The feeling of toiling a lifetime for less than someone else's few minutes of labor—would you be content with that?

It is precisely because of this that the Bloodstained Ninjas, who are outnumbered, have no choice but to band together for warmth, forming one Bloodstained Ninja Clan after another, and always looking at all outsiders with vigilance and even hostility.

Among them, the Uchiha clan did it the most thoroughly. Their clan territory was a self-contained entity within Konoha Village, and members of the Uchiha clan only intermarried with members of the same clan. Even their training and missions were carried out by teams of several Uchiha ninjas. It was essentially an independent kingdom located within Konoha Village.

There are many reasons why the Uchiha clan is so closed off, but one very important reason is that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the only bloodline limit that can be quickly transplanted. It's like a portable USB tool; you can just plug it in and use it, and it even supports hot-swapping.

To be more specific, the Uchiha's "Sharingan" differs from the Senju's "Sage Body" and Kaguya's "Shikotsumyaku" bloodline limits. With just a simple eye transplant surgery, an ordinary ninja can immediately possess the elite power of the Uchiha clan. While there are various side effects—such as the extreme chakra consumption due to bloodline differences, the inability to freely activate and deactivate the Sharingan, and the loss of further upgrades and evolution—these side effects are acceptable compared to the immense combat power boost gained from acquiring the Sharingan.

It is precisely because of this that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan has become a dark target pursued by many. In the underground black market of the ninja world, the corpses and eyes of the Uchiha clan are high-end goods that countless people compete to buy with huge sums of money.

After all, by acquiring a Sharingan with two tomoe, a genin can gain strength roughly equivalent to a chunin, and if they acquire a Sharingan with three tomoe, they can even become a jonin! And how many genin can reach the level of a jonin in their short lives?

How could such a convenient and easy way to quickly become a master not drive those who pursue power crazy?

Perhaps it was because they foresaw such a scene in the future that the ancestors of the Hyuga clan created the Caged Bird Seal. When most Hyuga branch family ninjas die, the seal will immediately activate, destroying the Byakugan of the deceased and preventing it from falling into the hands of the enemy.

As for these greedy people with ulterior motives, the Uchiha clan adopted an even more extreme approach, which can be summed up in one word: "kill!"

No matter who it is, if any non-Uchiha ninja is discovered to possess the Sharingan, the entire Uchiha clan's elite will be mobilized, determined to tear them to shreds! Those who plot to steal the Sharingan will be killed; those who transplant the Sharingan will be killed; those who knowingly conceal the truth will be killed! Kill! Kill! Kill! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

Under the leadership of masters like Madara Uchiha, the Uchiha clan used overwhelming force to suppress the greedy ninjas who coveted the Sharingan, thus ensuring the clan's right to survival. Upon reflection, without this absolute military suppression, the Uchiha clan might have become prey for those greedy individuals, or even livestock kept in cages awaiting the theft of their Sharingan, simply because of the Sharingan.

It was precisely because of the Uchiha clan's resolute purge that, in the original work, only Kakashi Hatake was able to openly display the Sharingan, while Danzo was the only outsider who secretly possessed the Sharingan.

All other non-Uchiha clan members who had transplanted or possessed the Sharingan disappeared, or were killed by the Uchiha clan. Otherwise, how could so many Uchiha ninjas have died during the numerous wars from the Warring States period to the Second Shinobi World War, with not a single Sharingan escaping to the outside world?

But now, this ironclad rule has been ruthlessly broken.

Just as Minato Namikaze, along with young Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Haruno, completed their mission of attacking the Sand Village transport team and were retreating towards Konoha, a group of unexpected roadblocks appeared.

Minato Namikaze stood quietly, watching the Sand Ninjas who were blocking their way. In the eyes of these Sand Ninjas, each of them had a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe.

Were they actually Sand Ninja who possessed and transplanted Sharingan, or were they Uchiha clan members dressed in Sand Ninja attire to conceal their identities? The truth of this question is no longer important, because when these ninjas with Sharingan but dressed in Sand Ninja clothing blocked the path of the Konoha team, Minato Namikaze already realized that the other side had subconsciously regarded him and his group as dead people who would not reveal any information.

"Who are you people, and what do you intend to do?" Minato Namikaze asked a question he himself did not expect to get an answer to, intending to buy some time so that his disciples behind him could prepare for battle.

Minato Namikaze and his group are not in good condition right now. Kakashi Hatake overused his physical strength in the previous battle, causing his body to collapse. Not only is his stamina severely depleted, but both of his legs are also broken. After receiving treatment from Rin Nohara, Kakashi can only walk with Obito's help, let alone fight.

Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, these two genin, had exhausted a lot of chakra and energy during the long guerrilla war. Although they had recovered a lot after some time, what effect could genin's combat power have in the current battle? Their opponents were ninjas who had awakened the Sharingan with three tomoe, and at least possessed the combat power of jonin!

Perhaps feeling confident of victory, the Sand Ninja with Sharingan didn't immediately launch an attack. Instead, they addressed Obito, saying, "Obito Uchiha, you did well. The guiding marks you left behind were very useful. Now you have proven your loyalty to the Uchiha clan. Leave them and come to us. Return to the Uchiha family."

Chapter 42 The Uchiha's Betrayal

"Obito?!" Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara stared at their teammate in disbelief. "You left the mark to show these people our location?!"

The usually energetic and passionate Obito Uchiha had a tense expression. He didn't respond to his companion's questions, but just stood there silently with his head down, not moving at all.

"So, you Uchiha deliberately dressed up as Sand Ninja, disguising yourselves as Sand Ninja, just to intercept us?" Minato Namikaze immediately realized. Only the adults of the Uchiha clan could use the clan's name to force Obito to submit and betray his comrades. "No, Kakashi and Rin don't have any conflict of interest with the Uchiha, so your real target should be me, right? But judging from the situation, you probably won't let the others here go either. After all, you wouldn't feel at ease if you didn't kill them all to silence them, would you?"

Seeing the increasingly cold gazes of these Uchiha ninjas, Minato Namikaze realized that his guess was correct. As for the reason why they were blocking him, it was probably for the upcoming election of the Fourth Hokage.

The Third Hokage, Tensei, has served for a long time, and she has occasionally expressed a desire to step down. Therefore, those in Konoha who aspire to the Fourth Hokage position are naturally eager to try. Minato Namikaze, a talented Jonin with extensive connections in the village, and the boyfriend of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, SS, as well as a student of Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, is naturally a relatively popular candidate for Hokage.

The Third Hokage, Tensei, also demonstrated his high regard for Minato Namikaze, assigning him numerous important tasks and leveraging his influence to promote him and enhance his reputation within Konoha. These actions led many to secretly consider Minato the strongest candidate to become the Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, Minato Namikaze knew very well what methods those who would stop at nothing to get the Hokage position would use against him. Setting traps and tripping him up were child's play, and various threats and persecutions were commonplace. The most direct method would be to send someone to kill him directly.

However, he did not expect that the first to send people to make a move would be the Uchiha, the most powerful clan in Konoha.

"Does the Uchiha clan really need the position of the Fourth Hokage? Do you think the positions of the Konoha Guard are not enough? That's second only to the Hokage, isn't it?" Minato Namikaze asked, his heart filled with surprise.

"What do you know! Shut up!" The leading Uchiha ninja's face was ashen. He didn't answer Minato Namikaze at all, but instead issued another ultimatum to Obito Uchiha: "Obito, why aren't you here right now?!"

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was quite tolerant and appreciative of the Uchiha clan. After Madara Uchiha betrayed them and attacked Konoha with the Nine-Tails, Tobirama Senju granted the Uchiha clan the status of "Konoha Guard" as a reward for their expulsion of Madara Uchiha.

As the Konoha Guard, second only to the Hokage's Anbu in power within Konoha Village, it doesn't need to leave the village for missions; its sole responsibility is maintaining order within Konoha. All its members are Uchiha clan ninja, and the Uchiha clan head, as the captain of the Konoha Guard, is one of the highest-ranking figures in Konoha. Such status and treatment make many envious of the Uchiha clan, naturally making it difficult to understand their yearning for the Hokage position.

However, there are differing opinions within the Uchiha clan regarding the treatment of this "Konoha Guard."

A group of Uchiha ninja believed that Tobirama Senju's order to appoint the Uchiha clan as the Konoha Police Force was actually malicious. As the village's sheriffs, they would inevitably clash with other ninja when handling disputes. Therefore, the Uchiha clan's appointment as the Konoha Police Force would lead to conflicts with many powerful figures within the village and with other ninja clans, ultimately causing them to lose external allies and connections.

Furthermore, due to the limitations of the Konoha Guard's duties, Uchiha clan ninjas cannot leave the village unless absolutely necessary. As a result, Uchiha clan ninjas find it difficult to leave the village to carry out missions or go to the battlefield to gain merit like other ninjas. This makes it extremely difficult for Uchiha clan ninjas to obtain military achievements and fame.

Thus, the Uchiha clan ninjas lost both allies and connections, and struggled to gain merit and fame. Lacking support and prestige, how could they possibly ascend to the throne of Hokage?

Therefore, in the eyes of these Uchiha ninjas, Tobirama Senju's actions were actually intended to permanently sever the possibility of the Uchiha clan becoming Hokage, so that their Senju clan could always hold onto the Hokage's throne!

Therefore, at this crucial moment in choosing the Fourth Hokage, a group within the Uchiha clan finally decided to take action. Since the village was so biased against the Uchiha clan by its system, then the Uchiha clan shouldn't be blamed for being ruthless! In order to ensure that the Uchiha clan would secure the position of the next Hokage, they dispatched these elite Uchiha with the three-tomoe Sharingan, preparing to eliminate all other Hokage candidates who stood in their way!

The Uchiha clan's primary target was Minato Namikaze, the most popular Hokage candidate in the village!

"Obito! Why aren't you coming over here yet?!" Seeing that Uchiha Obito was still standing motionless, still standing with his clan's "enemy," the leading Uchiha ninja finally couldn't hold back any longer. He drew his weapon and issued his final ultimatum.

For many ninja clans, their lives are always faced with an extreme choice: whether to obey their clan or their village. There is no perfect solution; there are only two completely different paths.

This is a choice that Itachi Uchiha faced in the original story. After a fierce conflict, with no other option, Itachi chose to obey his village and betray his clan. For the sake of his village, he decided to push his clan into the abyss, leaving only his beloved younger brother to end his life.

Now, it's Obito Uchiha's turn to make his choice.

Obito Uchiha spoke slowly, his voice unusually low: "When you asked me to leave navigational markers before, didn't you say you only wanted to detain us temporarily? Why has your purpose now changed to killing us to silence us?"

Chapter 43 Blinding the Uchiha's Dog Eyes

Family, teammates, comrades, lovers, teachers—a multitude of thoughts and memories flashed through Obito Uchiha's mind like a revolving lantern. Looking at these past memories, Obito finally realized his own inner thoughts.

Then, Obito slowly raised his head, looked at the Uchiha ninjas opposite him, and a tear of blood rolled down his cheek: "You have deceived me! I will never acknowledge you again!"

In the end, Obito Uchiha chose his teammates and his village over his clan.

Click!

The instant he made his decision, Obito Uchiha's eyes turned red, a tomoe slowly rotating on his eyeball. The intense internal conflict and massive emotional fluctuations that had just occurred stimulated Obito's brain, triggering a special kind of chakra that allowed him to awaken his Sharingan at this crucial moment!

Then Obito Uchiha drew a kunai and stood in front of his weakened comrade, pointing at his clansmen opposite him, silently but firmly stating his choice.

In the original story, I'm the kind of guy who would stand up to the whole world for my girl! And now you dare to think of killing my goddess to silence her?! Bastards, this is intolerable! I can tolerate your insults even more than I can tolerate your filth!

For the sake of Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha decisively switched sides!

"What did you say?!" The Uchiha ninjas were furious upon hearing this, glaring angrily at Obito Uchiha. As the saying goes, traitors are more hateful than enemies, so now the number one target on the Uchiha ninjas' kill list has changed from Minato Namikaze to Obito Uchiha.

I, Obito Uchiha, am the best in the world at attracting hatred!

"There's an opening!" Just as the Uchiha ninjas focused their attention on Obito, Minato Namikaze, with his rich combat experience, seized this rare opportunity and threw a Flying Thunder God kunai the moment the enemy's attention was diverted from him.

Shadow Clone Technique *Kunai* Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers!

One begets two, two begets four, four begets sixteen... Instantly, under the effect of the Shadow Clone Technique, a single kunai multiplied into hundreds of kunai, which scattered in all directions!

"Ridiculous! Do you think we don't know that your Flying Thunder God Technique requires kunai to provide coordinates?!" The leading Uchiha ninja sneered, the three tomoe in his Sharingan spinning rapidly.

As members of the Uchiha clan who had fought the Senju clan for many years, how could they not understand this space-time ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju? In order to figure out this elusive space-time ninjutsu, the Uchiha clan paid a considerable price in lives! After paying such a high price, they naturally had long since figured out how to deal with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The Sharingan's observation function was activated! Instantly, the flight trajectories of the hundreds of kunai thrown by Minato Namikaze were all revealed in the vision of those Uchiha ninjas. Which kunai were used for direct attacks, which were used to divert attention, and which kunai's landing points would become the spatial coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique were all seen by these Uchiha ninjas!

The next moment, Minato Namikaze disappeared from the spot!

"Here it comes!!" Instantly, the Uchiha ninjas went on high alert, ready to launch a thunderous attack the instant Minato Namikaze appeared!

However, Minato Namikaze did not appear near any of the kunai, but instead teleported directly behind Kakashi! To ensure the safety of his disciples, Minato Namikaze had placed the Flying Thunder God mark on each of them.

"Oh no!! His goal is to escape!" The leader of the Uchiha ninjas immediately realized what was happening and shouted.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze, along with Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, disappeared into thin air.

Even after Minato Namikaze and the others teleported away, the Uchiha ninjas on the scene remained motionless, showing no sign of letting their guard down. The reason was simple: Minato had indeed teleported away, but how could you know he wouldn't teleport back the next moment and stab the enemy in the back?

This is what makes time-space ninjas so troublesome; they can fight or run at will, always maintaining strategic initiative. The number of enemies is meaningless to time-space ninjas.

As enemies of the time-space ninja, you must always be on guard and keep your nerves on edge. You can't relax while eating, taking a bath, using the toilet, or even while getting a massage. Who knows if the time-space ninja will suddenly teleport to your side and throw a kunai at you?

But who can maintain such a high level of vigilance throughout their entire life? After all, who among us doesn't need to relax and rest?

However, these Uchiha ninjas weren't worried. After a few tacit exchanges of glances, some of them began to relax and rest, while the others continued to stand guard and protect their comrades. Before accepting the mission to assassinate Minato Namikaze, they had conducted numerous simulated training sessions to deal with the Flying Thunder God Technique, and were well-prepared to counter its unpredictable nature.

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze, dressed in the Aquarius Gold Cloth and shimmering with gold, appeared next to an Uchiha ninja, his Rasengan already poised to be unleashed!

"Stop!!" Several Uchiha ninjas reacted at the same time, rushing forward and thrusting their weapons fiercely at Minato Namikaze's body. They were trying to use a diversionary tactic to force Minato to dodge and rescue their comrades!

Then, the leading Uchiha ninja unexpectedly saw a slight smile on Minato Namikaze's lips, and a chill ran down his spine, setting off alarm bells in his mind!

"What's going on! What have we overlooked? Why do I feel so uneasy? Does the other side have some hidden trump card?"

Before the Uchiha ninjas could react, Minato Namikaze's entire body suddenly burst forth with boundless light! Immeasurable light and immeasurable life, more dazzling than flames, more dazzling than the sun!

The special ability of the Aquarius Gold Cloth: Solar Flare!!!

This is the secret weapon that Tianqing specially made to counter the Uchiha clan's eye techniques. It uses endless bright light to directly blind the Uchiha's dog eyes, so you can stop staring at people with those red eyes! Do you think you're the berserk Emperor Blood Slayer?
