The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Konoha was spared the Nine-Tails' attack, so its strength is still intact, especially Minato Namikaze, whose intimidating power is undeniable.

After a moment's thought, Hui understood the reason.

It's probably because of the existence of the Immortal Organization.

The Hidden Cloud Village really knows how to exploit loopholes.

The existence of the Sage Organization put pressure on all sides, and knowing that Konoha was unlikely to take major action, they targeted Nawaki.

But what exactly is it about the Rope Tree that makes them want to do this?

A Celestial Body that just awakened today?

It's highly unlikely.

There isn't enough time.

It was indeed Kumogakure that attacked Nawaki.

What Hui didn't know was that the goal of the Hidden Cloud Village wasn't the bloodline limit, but the truth about Nawaki's resurrection.

Everyone must have doubts about how the rope tree could come back to life.

The Hidden Cloud Village, on the other hand, undoubtedly turned its ideas into action.

"However, that's also a good thing. Now that we've taken action, we have a reason."

However, there was one thing that Cloud Village miscalculated.

It's hard to say how Konoha will handle this situation right now. Tsunade is still the nominal acting Hokage, and she's known for her strong personality. And this is her younger brother—her own brother who died and was lost. It's safe to say that no one can predict Tsunade's reaction.

With the Sannin not having broken ties, Jiraiya and Orochimaru would definitely support Tsunade, and Minato Namikaze, who is close to succeeding to the throne, certainly cannot compromise, otherwise it would be detrimental to his future appointment. There's also Kaguya, who has ulterior motives, cough cough, strong-willed person, adding fuel to the fire, no, I mean, giving his full support. It can be said that anything Konoha might do is possible.

I guess they're used to the attitudes of the three generations in power.

This time, the Hidden Cloud Village is probably going to suffer a major setback.

Chapter 380 Konoha's Actions

Damn it!

Unable to vent her anger, Tsunade punched a tall tree trunk beside her.

With a loud crash, the tree trunk shattered, and the entire tree broke off from the point of fracture, falling heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

At that moment, this sound was the only one heard at the scene.

The Kage-level figures were weighing the pros and cons and thinking about how to deal with the incident, while the clan leaders kept their eyes down and dared not interrupt.

After all, there was something quite suspicious about the attack just now. The attackers just happened to choose today, the time when Tsunade was in the Hokage's office because of work, to carry out their attack.

To be honest, it wasn't exactly a secret. Anyone present who was interested could have investigated and informed them.

At this point, who would dare to speak well of the Hidden Cloud Village? Should they hold back because of the tense situation and the pressure from the Immortal Organization? Heh, your thinking is quite similar to that of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Say!

Is that the intention behind their cooperation with Kumogakure?

Saying nice things is not acceptable, and kicking someone when they're down is even worse.

If the two sides really fight, or even escalate into a violent conflict, who will bear the consequences?

At this point, these clan leaders should take care of themselves.

It's decided to leave it to these Kage-level actors.

They have sufficient decision-making power, and at the same time, they are able to bear the consequences.

With so many Kage-level figures present, it's not their place to speak.

"Kumakuya Village, you've gone too far!"

Hui wasn't afraid of any consequences. First of all, he didn't have a family, and secondly, he wasn't afraid of being criticized. At worst, he could just return to the Immortal Organization.

Hui immediately stepped forward to express his stance.

beat!

Throughout his career, Akira has always been a proponent of war and a hardliner. After revealing his Kage-level strength, his actions—from setting multiple traps for Kumogakure, to killing Danzo, forcing Sunagakure to sign an agreement, to proposing to initiate a decisive battle during the war—all demonstrate Akira's stance.

At this moment, he took the lead in pointing the finger at the Hidden Cloud Village, and his tone and stance were very clear: the Hidden Cloud Village must give an explanation.

It didn't arouse any suspicion from anyone.

However, Hui has no problems to begin with, so why should he be suspected?

He has only one thought: if the Hidden Cloud Village causes trouble, he will make things bigger.

Yeah, for the past few years, he's been content to be a troublemaker. Whenever someone provokes him, he strikes. Haven't the losses from three battles been significant enough? Doesn't it hurt? Fine, I'll do it a few more times.

Hui is now really looking forward to the same thing happening.

At that time, for several years in a row, conflicts and battles will continue, and no one will be able to recover.

Even if the fighting continues and the overall strength of the ninja village remains at its current level, this might become the peak state of the ninja village.

At least in the eyes of the ninjas who have risen to prominence in recent years, this is the extent of the village's strength.

By then, the fourth war should be easier, right?

Uchiha Kiyoshi and his various clones caused trouble everywhere, significantly advancing the start of the Third Shinobi World War. Various unexpected events occurred, even causing the fate of the ninja world to deviate. The Akatsuki organization was the most affected.

Who are the key members of the Akatsuki organization?

Aren't they just the strong individuals who rose to prominence during or after the Third Shinobi World War? Kisame Hoshigaki, Itachi Uchiha, Deidara, Sasori...

In Uchiha Kiyoshi's plan, the Fourth Shinobi World War would also be brought forward significantly, and the Akatsuki organization lost one of its most important factors: time.

Without time, the quality of the members and their training progress were completely affected.

If Akatsuki is unable to shoulder the responsibility of initiating the Fourth Shinobi World War, that would be quite awkward.

After all that, no one initiated the Fourth War.

Therefore, the more severely the overall strength of the ninja village is weakened, the better.

"At this crucial moment when the Fourth Hokage is taking office, does the Hidden Cloud Village dare to do this? Do they look down on Konoha?"

"Nawaki is the First Hokage's grandson and also Tsunade's younger brother. What are they trying to do by kidnapping or killing Nawaki?"

Hui was furious, and his words caused the scales in everyone's hearts to tip toward war.

Orochimaru was the only one who was awake, and he looked at Hikaru with a strange expression.

If I didn't know your true identity, I would have believed you too.

At the same time, he also understood Hui's intentions.

Let's stir things up!

It's that simple. Thinking about Uchiha Kiyoshi's (Tsuchishiki's) situation, Orochimaru understood. It seems the Sage Organization is under considerable pressure as well.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi (Tsuchishi) is quite strong, and with the equally powerful Maga also present, it seems that even if the five great ninja villages joined forces, they wouldn't be able to threaten him.

"Myokiyama!"

Thinking about this, Orochimaru seemed to understand something.

It seems the holy land possesses more profound knowledge than I actually knew.

That's true. After all, their heritage has been passed down for thousands of years without the impact of war. It's normal that their heritage is more complete and their foundation is deeper.

Hui had no idea what Orochimaru was thinking; at that moment, he had only one goal.

Persuade the others to attack Kumogakure.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a war, but the initiative must be in Konoha's hands. Compensation is acceptable, or even a localized conflict would be fine.

"Kumakushi Village!"

Tsunade stood there for a long time, then spoke out angrily.

How could they be so bold as to attack Rope Tree?

At this moment, she is still the acting Hokage!

The six attackers huddled together, not daring to utter a sound. Tsunade was like an enraged lioness, and they did not want to become the target of her wrath.

Hui tried to urge him on for a long time, but no one spoke up.

It's not that no one agrees, it's that no one objects.

Moreover, Konoha is indeed not intimidated at all now. The six Kage-level beings possess overwhelming strength against any single ninja village.

"Hui, this time I'm leaving it to you to handle. The Hidden Cloud Village must give an explanation for this matter!"

"Haha, you can rest assured when it comes to handling things!"

Tsunade's eye twitched slightly. Hearing this, she felt that letting Hikaru handle it might have been a mistake.

The others were in similar situations.

I trust you with my business.

Haha, if I didn't remember your behavior when you signed the surrender agreement last time, I would have believed you.

"In that case, shall I take all six of them with me?"

"Take one with you, the other five will stay in the village for now, let's see if we can figure anything out."

Orochimaru stopped Hikaru and demanded that the other five stay behind.

He's recently run out of test subjects.

Nawaki overwhelmed them with overwhelming power, and now that all six were captured alive, they were naturally to be put to good use. Whether it was to extract information from them or to leave them for Orochimaru to use as experimental subjects, either option was viable. There was no need to take them away; they should be returned to Kumogakure.

They are all ninjas from Kumogakure. Studying their bodies and seeing if we can gain anything from Lightning Release body tempering is a way to pass the time.

Now that the war is over, it's hard to find test subjects, and everyone feels a bit like they have nothing to do.

Oops!

Suddenly, Orochimaru realized that he should support Hikaru's actions more in the future.

I don't need much else, just bring me more test subjects.
