I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

Chapter 44 Thousand Hands God

"Is the final battle about to begin?"

After Uchiha Natsu finished speaking, he thought about it again and it seemed that it was indeed about right.

The Third Hokage assigned all the powerful enemies to the Uchiha clan, which resulted in most of the elite forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure being concentrated on fighting the Uchiha.

In the past few days, Uchiha Natsu led the Uchiha clan to sweep across the battlefield, killing most of the enemies.

This also means that most of the elite forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure have been lost.

If they retreat like this, it's clear they've suffered a great loss.

Therefore, Iwagakure and Kumogakure must have abandoned their strategy of spreading out and was preparing to concentrate their forces to defeat Konoha in one fell swoop.

"The main forces of Iwagakure and Kumogakure have all gathered here, and the Raikage and Tsuchikage have also arrived on the battlefield. Currently, we are still at a disadvantage."

After a pause, the jackal chuckled and said:

"However, now that you're here, these problems no longer exist. With the Uchiha clan under your leadership, our chances of winning this war are still very high."

Jackal believed that since the Uchiha clan, under the leadership of Uchiha Natsu, had been able to kill so many elites from both countries, they would certainly be able to play an even more crucial role in this decisive battle.

"I hope so." Uchiha Natsu smiled. "Take me to Clan Chief Fugaku first, so I can bring the rest of the clan with me."

Uchiha Natsu did not believe that the arrival of several hundred members of his clan could change the course of the battle.

Because each of the Iwagakure and Kumogakure ninjas participating in the war numbered in the thousands.

The Uchiha clan only killed a few hundred people, which is a very small percentage.

Even with the Uchiha clan joining the team, the overall trend still couldn't be changed.

In addition, besides the two Kage, Kumogakure and Iwagakure also have three Jinchuriki who can participate in the war.

On Konoha's side, the only Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a child who hasn't even attended the Ninja Academy yet; he's less than four years old.

I bet they're still drinking expired milk every day, living in a messy, cramped room, and questioning their existence because of the hostility from the community.

They probably don't even know what ninjutsu is.

Therefore, in terms of top-tier combat power, Konoha is far behind.

However, if Uchiha Natsu were to fight in his true form, he would be equivalent to at least one Kage.

But that would be too dangerous.

Unless you have ten times the strength of your enemy, you should try not to use your true form to fight, otherwise there is a certain probability that you will be killed.

Therefore, even if the Uchiha clan arrives, it may not necessarily cause too much of a stir.

While pondering this, Uchiha Natsu had already followed Jackal to the temporary base of the Uchiha ninjas.

At this time, the number of ninjas from the Uchiha clan who followed their clan leader Fugaku was less than half of the number led by Uchiha Natsu.

Compared to before, there are far fewer people around.

Uchiha Natsu knew that those figures would most likely never appear again.

Behind him, the clansmen who had been following Uchiha Natsu, who had been very excited, suddenly became somber.

As he passed one small tent after another, Uchiha Natsu noticed that all the clansmen who passed by looked at him without the disdain and contempt they had shown before.

Instead, there is respect.

Uchiha Natsu didn't pay much attention and led a large group of clansmen, following the jackal to the tent in the center.

“Captain Fugaku is inside, Natsu, I won’t go in,” Jackal said, turning around.

"Thank you." Uchiha Natsu nodded.

Jackal turned and left, but halfway there he turned back and pondered, "Xia, why don't you reconsider and join the Dark Division?"

Before Uchiha Natsu could answer, Jackal continued with a laugh, "Of course, this is just my suggestion. You can consider it."

After saying that, Jackal left the Uchiha's temporary base with another ANBU member.

Uchiha Natsu shook his head, turned around, and looked at the tent.

Just as Uchiha Natsumi turned around...

Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of them.

Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear in front of Natsu Uchiha.

Looking at the hundreds of unharmed clansmen behind Uchiha Natsu, Fugaku finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

Although he did not overestimate the strength of the Uchiha clan like the other members of the clan.

However, he underestimated the enemy's strength.

Originally, Fugaku thought he could use this war to make the Uchiha clan truly see themselves, so that they would strive to improve and stop being arrogant and complacent.

But unexpectedly, they almost lost most of their tribesmen.

Fugaku has heard everything about Uchiha Natsu's situation.

However, seeing is believing, and only when he saw his clansmen standing in front of him could Fugaku believe the rumors.

Having confirmed the situation of his clansmen, Fugaku looked at Uchiha Natsu with gratitude.

“Natsu, well done. Before…” Fugaku paused halfway through his sentence, unsure how to continue.

He wanted to say, "I underestimated you before, and you've suffered so much. It's all my fault as the clan leader..."

Honestly, I've been using Wildfruit Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

But when the words were about to come out, he suddenly felt they were too greasy and couldn't bring himself to say them.

Uchiha Natsu smiled faintly and said dismissively, "There's no need to worry about the past."

Uchiha Natsu has always remained indifferent to the past actions of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Natsu has always believed that the one who survives to the end is the ultimate winner.

Nothing is more important than life. In Uchiha Natsu's eyes, the behavior of those clansmen was no different from that of children.

Now, however, only Uchiha Natsu bears the respectful gaze of his clansmen.

For me, without a specific purpose, these feelings of existence are nothing but fleeting clouds.

Seeing Uchiha Natsu's maturity and composure, Fugaku couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It seems that the Uchiha clan has been arrogant and complacent for generations, but now there is finally someone who can carry hope and the future.

“Father, Brother Zhishui.”

Just then, Itachi Uchiha, who had been standing in the group, stepped forward and greeted the two of them.

Although I was a little worried beforehand, I became calm when I actually saw him.

Fugaku looked at Uchiha Itachi, smiled slightly, and said, "I knew you would be safe and sound. You are indeed my son."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha showed no joy whatsoever...

.

While Uchiha Natsu's shadow clones were dealing with the situation, his main body had already quietly moved a thousand meters away.

After moving some distance away from the Konoha ninja base, Uchiha Natsu, underground, used Earth Release to create a space in the surrounding soil.

Then, he clasped his hands together in a mudra, channeled the Wood Release chakra within his body, and shouted, "Wood Release: Wood Clone!"

Wood formed from chakra wriggled and grew from one side of Uchiha Natsu's body.

Ultimately, a clone that was exactly the same as the original was formed.

Uchiha Natsu tried it out and found that, like the Shadow Clone, the Wood Clone could not inherit more chakra than the original body.

In other words, no matter how precise one's chakra control is, it is impossible to make the amount of chakra in a shadow clone exceed 50% of the total amount in the original body.

Moreover, the chakra that is depleted from the original body after the wood clone is created cannot be restored.

In other words, after creating a shadow clone that inherits half of the chakra, Uchiha Natsu's main body can only recover up to half of its total chakra by consuming more chakra.

"Shadow clones are very similar in many ways, but they are harder to distinguish and harder to defeat."

"Such a wooden clone can be completely indistinguishable from the real thing."

Looking at the wooden clone in front of him, Uchiha Natsumi smiled and murmured, "From now on, the wooden clone will be called Senju Kamima."

Uchiha Natsumi's intended purpose in creating the Wood Clone was to add a new character design.

He used Wood Release ninjutsu to make the name "Senju Kamima" widely known.

In this way, many things that are inconvenient for oneself to handle can be resolved by the wood clone.

The wooden clone nodded upon hearing this, and then the wooden branches on its face wriggled, forming a wooden mask that concealed its original appearance.

Chapter 45 Akatsuki Organization

After glancing at the mask of the wood clone, Uchiha Natsu nodded in satisfaction.

Then, his gaze settled on the clothes, and he frowned.

Since the wood clone is a complete copy of the original body, even the clothes it wears are the same as those worn by Uchiha Natsu.

Both the Uchiha clan's clothing style and the fan pattern on it are too eye-catching.

The Wood Split understood, and using Wood Release, it condensed a hard wooden armor based on Hashirama Senju's usual attire, as remembered from its memory.

After putting on this armor, the Wood Clone would appear flawless from the outside and would not be associated with Uchiha Natsu.

Moreover, it looks more like the Senju clan from before.

"However, what reason should I give to join the war..."

Uchiha Natsu frowned in thought.

The image of Senju Shinma will continue to appear in the outside world from time to time.

Therefore, a suitable reason must be found, and he does not want Senju Kamuma to be assigned to the Konoha camp.

We can't just act like a madman, attacking anyone we see, especially the Raikage and Tsuchikage.
