The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

"Earth and Stone! The Immortal Organization!"

Despite his intense hatred, Onoki did not forget his identity as the village's Kage; he had to remain calm.

"Go, send the remaining troops to the battlefield to support the front lines, and at the same time search for the retreating elite troops. Also, notify the ninjas in the village to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time."

As for the ninjas who sacrificed their lives, they will receive substantial compensation.

Konoha Front

"Senior Hui, I heard that the Third Raikage fought against an army of tens of thousands of ninjas alone for two days and two nights. After that, Tsuchishi killed three thousand ninjas with just two ninjutsu. Is that true? Can the ninja world really have such powerful forces?"

Obito excitedly recounted the information he had heard from others, and questioned Hikaru.

"They also cultivated themselves step by step to reach that level. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will eventually have the same strength."

Hearing Hui's words, Obito was greatly encouraged and vowed to train hard to become a powerful ninja. Rin's eyes were also full of fighting spirit, but Kakashi still had a dead fish look on his face.

Kakashi, with his relatively mature thinking and extensive experience, knew best that reaching that level of training wasn't something that could be achieved through mere effort; he simply thought that Hikaru was making empty promises.

"So, Obito, shouldn't you go train? Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you."

Obito suddenly felt uneasy. Had he been too hasty in setting the flag he had just made?

"Moreover, the Third Raikage's act of staying behind to cover the retreat and buy time for his comrades to escape is the most admirable. Obito, don't be fooled by the appearance of power." Hui seized the opportunity to lecture Obito.

"Don't worry, Senior Kaguya, I, Obito, am going to become Hokage!"

Hikaru completely ignored Obito's childish remarks, after all, Obito could never become a ninja.

"But wouldn't it be interesting if these two chuunibyou (delusional) traits came together?"

For some reason, Hui thought of the rope tree.

"It's time to revive you, Nawaki and Sarutobi Saku. You'll be revived in a little while."

I wonder if it would be very interesting if these two clowns got together.

......

"Hui, you should have heard about the situation in the Land of Earth. According to intelligence from spies, there's some activity in Iwagakure. They seem to be gathering ninjas. We need you to go and check it out."

Minato Namikaze handed the mission scroll to Hikaru, repeatedly apologizing.

This mission is indeed very difficult. Conducting long-distance intelligence gathering at this time is extremely dangerous, and the entire mission will last for a considerable period of time, which further increases the risk.

"okay, I get it."

Hui did not resist. This task was not difficult for him, and it would be good to go to the Land of Earth in advance to make some arrangements.

Now that Tsuchishi has obtained the Third Raikage's body, he has left the Land of Earth and found a quiet place in the Land of Fire to study it, and doesn't plan to cause any more trouble for the time being. Indeed, during wartime, it's best for people outside the ninja villages to stay out of things, and even if they do take action, it's best to do it quietly. Tsuchishi actually went a bit too far this time, and it's fortunate that the situation is somewhat chaotic now, otherwise, Tsuchishi's antics might have really led to a united boycott from various ninja villages.

Alternatively, it can be done in the name of an organization; at the very least, one person cannot stir up trouble, otherwise it will really backfire.

After all, an individual is different from an organization or a village. An individual's mobility is too high, and if they are also a strong person, their impact on the war is too great. If you don't show your face during the war, that's fine, but once you do, and you are quite active, you will definitely not have a good time.

For example, during the Third Shinobi World War, rogue ninjas like Sasori and Kakuzu didn't even cause any trouble, carefully avoiding the forefront of the war, precisely because they were afraid of being boycotted by a united group of ninja villages.

Hui packed his things, left the front line, and headed alone towards the Land of Earth.

When Hui left the front lines, a ninja from a certain mission department performed hand seals, summoned a rat-shaped summoning beast, handed the letter in his hand to the other party, and released the summoning jutsu.

At the root of Konoha, Danzo also received this letter, which read, "Kira has left the front lines."

At this moment, Hui was completely unaware that Danzo was monitoring his movements, nor did he know what Danzo was planning to do.

This time, his first target was Kannabi Bridge, where the turning point of the entire Third Shinobi World War took place, so Hui naturally had to make arrangements in advance.

"We need to make adequate preparations for the Kaminaribi Bridge. First of all, we need to prepare replacement materials and distribute them throughout the area to facilitate the implementation of the plan."

Many things will gradually surface over time, and the possibility of exposure will increase with the passage of time. This is especially true of the Kannabi Bridge, which is close to Madara's lair. Therefore, the clones have not made any arrangements here, waiting for the real war to break out before they begin to make arrangements.

Hui arrived at Kannabi Bridge, took out a large number of replacement items, activated the Concealment Technique, and used his body to leap among the rocks, burying the replacement items in all suitable locations near Kannabi Bridge where battles could take place.

"The replacement material has been buried, now we can focus on the mission."

"As expected, someone's already here?"

Leaving Kannabi Bridge and heading towards Iwagakure, Hikaru soon sensed several ninjas rapidly approaching. As they drew closer, he could tell their mission from the Iwagakure headbands they wore.

Whether it was to go to Kannabi Bridge ahead of time to scout the situation or to transport ninjas ahead of time, it certainly couldn't be accomplished by just a few people. Therefore, there must be other teams heading towards Kannabi Bridge from other directions.

However, that's none of Hui's business. He wouldn't sabotage Iwagakure's plans, after all, he's waiting for Iwagakure and Konoha to fight. Taking care of this Iwagakure squad in front of him is enough of a mission.

Investigating the movements of Iwagakure should meet the requirements, right?

"Earth Escape - Earth Rising Spear"

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet

The earthen spears burst forth from the ground, disrupting the Iwa ninja's formation. Then, Hui's Water Dragon Bullet hit its mark precisely, severely injuring several Iwa ninja.

Finally, Hui used a teleportation technique to appear in front of them, wielding a kunai and reaping their lives.

Gathering intelligence certainly requires bringing back evidence, as does the mission report. While detailed descriptions of the battle aren't required, they still need to be mentioned. Therefore, during the battle, Hui tried to use his outward methods to avoid suspicion due to discrepancies between the scene and the report. Although he was tasked with carrying out the mission, with so many ninjas in Konoha, someone was undoubtedly sent here; however, Hui's mission was the most crucial. Perhaps, with Hui's report, someone might actually come to the scene to verify the situation.

After leaving, Hui, as required by his mission, gathered intelligence within the Land of Earth. Along the way, he encountered several Iwa ninja squads, and as expected, he killed all of them. Based on what he had seen and heard along the way, he organized the intelligence he had collected and sent it to the front lines.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the ninja world, the situation remained unchanged. The situation in Konoha and Kumogakure remained dire, with both sides probing each other without launching a full-scale attack, resulting in some but not significant losses. However, the battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure was fierce, with both sides reportedly suffering heavy losses.

Meanwhile, Sunagakure, which had partially recovered, and Kirigakure, which was far from the center of the continent, began to stir.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 256 Transfer

two months.

It was enough for Sunagakure to catch its breath, since Rasa Maga's attack was quite timely, and the Third Raikage's surprise attack only caused some damage to the village's buildings, with very little loss of personnel.

Rasa rose to fame after defending Kumogakure during their surprise attack. As a disciple of the Third Kazekage, he was subsequently elected by the higher-ups as the Fourth Kazekage to stabilize the situation.

In fact, the selection process for the next Kazekage had already begun after the Third Kazekage's disappearance. Although Rasa was the most suitable among the candidates—possessing both strength and status—his contributions were truly limited. Rasa had been focused on training and didn't have many notable achievements, so the position of Kazekage remained undecided. It wasn't until the attack on Sunagakure that Rasa intervened, gaining enough popular support to be successfully elected as the Fourth Kazekage.

After taking over, Rasa quickly reorganized the village, leading it out of the depression following the disappearance of the Third Kazekage and helping it recover from the grief of the attack.

However, Luo Sha was still young and eager to make a name for himself. Although he did a good job in settling the village, he was still a bit impatient.

No sooner had Sunagakure settled down than Rasa made up his mind to launch a war against Konoha.

Perhaps there was also the desire of a new broom sweeping clean; the newly appointed Rasa was eager to make a name for himself and set his sights on Konoha.

The Sand Village was defeated by the Leaf Village in the last Shinobi World War. If they can defeat the Leaf Village this time under his leadership, then his contribution will be considerable.

The gathering of Sunagakure ninjas was such a large-scale operation that it couldn't be kept secret from other villages, especially Konoha, which had a powerful intelligence network like Root.

Even before the Sand Village army had set off, Konoha already knew that the Sand Village's target was Konoha.

After being warned by the Hokage last time, Danzo has become much more restrained, and information from Root is now being delivered to the Hokage in a timely manner.

"Jiraiya, the Sand Village has also begun to take action. It won't be long before war breaks out with Konoha. I plan to send Minato to the Land of Rivers to oversee the battlefield there. At the same time, I will also send someone to inform Tsunade to go with me."

Jiraiya overheard his teacher's arrangement and understood the other party's intention to train Minato, but Tsunade's side...

"Don't worry, it won't affect the battle. With Tsunade in charge, Sunagakure won't act rashly. I was originally planning to send you too, but intelligence from the Land of Earth says that the battle between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is nearing its end, and the Abby duo might join the battle against Konoha. Orochimaru might be under a lot of pressure by himself, so I'll need you to go and support him."

After hearing the teacher's explanation, Jiraiya ultimately didn't say anything, only hoping that there wouldn't be any problems with Tsunade.

"I will also send Nara Shikaichi and the others. With them there, they can also stop Chiyo and Ebizo, reducing the possibility of Tsunade taking action."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the teacher had sent the Ino-Shika-Cho trio together.

Nara Shikaichi is an advisor to the entire Hidden Leaf Village, so his intelligence goes without saying. Having him around certainly provides reassurance. Furthermore, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio complements each other's strengths and weaknesses, creating a synergy greater than the sum of its parts. Moreover, as ninjas of the same era as Jiraiya, each of the three is individually among the strongest elite Jonin. Therefore, the three of them combined are arguably no less capable than sending six elite Jonin!

"In that case, I'm relieved. I'll leave the Land of Lightning to Orochimaru and me."

With the Sage's prophecy now having a direction, Jiraiya no longer needed to stay in Konoha. He could continue his investigation on the front lines. After all, the Sage Organization's intelligence was limited and obtained on the battlefield. Perhaps investigating on the front lines would be more convenient. He had no objection to his teacher's transfer and naturally accepted it.

front.

"Minato-sensei, we haven't seen Teru-senpai for two months. I hope nothing bad has happened to him."

Although Hikaru often played pranks on Obito, Obito could still sense his progress and was somewhat concerned about Hikaru. However, his words were often thoughtless, causing Kakashi, who was listening nearby, to roll his eyes. Those who knew him would understand that he cared about Hikaru-senpai, but those who didn't might think he was cursing him.

"Hui-kun, he took on a long-term mission recently, which took up two months. He should be almost finished by now and will be back soon. However, we may not be able to see Hui-kun. Something happened in Sunagakure. The village just issued a mobilization order, and we all have to go to the Land of Rivers to defend against Sunagakure."

Hearing that Senior Hikaru was alright, Obito breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart tightened when he heard that Senior Hikaru would be back soon. Only when he heard that they were going to move the battlefield did Obito finally relax.

"Kakashi, be careful when you get there."

Minato Namikaze reminded Kakashi of something, which was a bit strange, but Kakashi still kept it in mind.

......

Two days later.

"Phew, I'm finally back."

Back at the front lines, Hui sighed.

I never expected that this mission would take two whole months, with unexpected events happening frequently and causing a lot of delays.

Upon arriving at the mission headquarters and learning about the latest personnel changes from Orochimaru, Hui finally came to his senses.

Sunagakure Village also joined in.

Minato Namikaze also led his Team 7 there, but Teru had no regrets.

Others thought they might not see each other for a long time, but Hui didn't think so. After all, he knew that Sunagakure was the first country to withdraw from the Third Shinobi World War. The details of the Third Shinobi World War were very detailed. Hanzo of Amegakure intervened to help Konoha, and Sunagakure suffered a great defeat and withdrew from the Third Shinobi World War.

Oh, no, it's not that they withdrew, it's that they became the first defeated nation. Although Iwagakure and Kumogakure had fought before and it ended, there was no clear winner. After their defeat, Sunagakure became an ally of Konoha, fighting alongside them against Iwagakure.

"The war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is coming to an end. Now that Abby and the others have arrived, it's time for me to reveal my strength. Orochimaru and Jiraiya will also be secretly leaving to go to the Land of Rivers to support the final battle. It's safer and more acceptable for people to have me stay behind."

Hui had already planned to reveal his Kage-level strength, since at this point, anyone below Kage level really had no right to speak.

Uh... that's how it is for Hui.

Konoha is currently at its peak, with the Legendary Sannin, the Third Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and perhaps the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. There are six Kage-level individuals alone, plus the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Hyuga clan, the Uchiha clan, and so many other clans, as well as Danzo and the council of elders. As for Hideaki, an elite Jonin, he seems somewhat inadequate. He is neither a clan leader nor a high-ranking official, so there are many things he can hardly get involved in.

Minato Namikaze led Team 7 from the battlefield in the Land of Lightning to the Land of Rivers.

When they arrived, the Konoha ninjas had already arrived and built defensive fortifications.

"Senior Lu Yi."

Upon arriving at the camp, the first thing to do was to report in. Minato Namikaze, along with the three little ones, went to the command post.
