From Hokage to Visionary

The loud cheers reached the sky, startling Uchiha Sogetsu. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw countless people rushing towards him among the ruins.

The first to arrive was Linjiao. He saw the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki being stepped on the ground at a glance. His eyes widened immediately and he stammered, "Sou Sogetsu, is it really you? Could this be... the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?!"

"Sorry, I'm late."

Uchiha Sogetsu looked apologetic, tears flickered in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "If I could have come back earlier, the village wouldn't have been destroyed like this."

What a good kid

Linjiao felt warm in his heart, this is the real "Naruto thinking".

He had just saved Konoha, but now he blames himself for not being able to come back earlier. Uchiha Sogetsu is such a gentle kid!

Look at Danzo again, that bastard, if it weren’t for him, would the village have become what it is now?

Lin Jiao thought about this and the Third Hokage's instructions, so he stepped forward and shook his hand excitedly: "Uchiha Munetsuki, on behalf of Konoha's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, I convey the following order to you. You will temporarily serve as the acting Hokage and help Konoha quell the war!"

Danzo, who was a step late, just happened to hear these words, and his face suddenly became ugly as if he swallowed a few flies alive: "What did you say?!"

Linjiao looked back at Danzo and said righteously: "Danzo, on behalf of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, I declare that your duties as Acting Hokage have been revoked. As for the disaster caused this time, when the Hokage wakes up again, you will be held accountable!"

Danzo fell from heaven to hell, his mentality was on the verge of collapse, and he seemed to be out of control: "No, it's impossible! I don't believe it!"

However, Linjiao seemed to be well prepared and took out a scroll from his arms, on which was printed the exclusive mark of the Hokage: "Look carefully, you are no longer the acting Hokage, Danzo!"

“Ahhhhh——!”

Veins popped out on Danzo's forehead, and his flesh and blood seemed to be changing. He screamed with hatred: "Sarutobi Hiruzen, you don't keep your word!"

Chapter 180 What are radicals?

No matter how dark the night is, dawn will eventually come.

The dawn light, like a sharp sword, tore apart the dark clouds covering Konoha, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the ruins.

Those who had managed to survive walked out of the bunkers and looked at the once prosperous streets and villages that had been reduced to ruins overnight. Countless friends and relatives had died tragically, and the blood had dyed the earth red. The air was filled with the pungent smell of burning.

The Genin, who used to always talk about war as if they hoped it would happen, were deeply hurt.

Countless people died and homes were destroyed. The cruelty of the war far exceeded their imagination. From that moment on, the fantasy in their minds turned into a bloody reality.

"Is this war?"

Might Guy sat on the ground in a daze, his mind blank.

He once fantasized that he would step onto the battlefield, become famous, and become a great ninja like Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.

But now, the fantasy has been shattered.

"It's cruel, isn't it?"

Gu Jie couldn't bear it anymore and walked over, hugged Kai who was in a daze, and comforted him softly: "But this is war, as a ninja, it is a reality that can never be escaped."

"Is there no way to end the war once and for all?"

The young Might Guy looked at the gray-haired Kosuke with a confused look in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, this is a dream that even the first generation has never fulfilled." Gu Jie couldn't answer him, so he could only ruffle Might Guy's hair and whispered, "Perhaps, in the future you can find a way to end the war, but now, you need to cheer up and come with me to the Hokage Building."

The surviving ninjas received orders to assemble in front of the Hokage Building.

As more and more ninjas gathered in front of the Hokage Building, although everyone was in a mess and many were even injured, their faces showed a trace of grief and sorrow, as well as hatred and anger towards the Cloud Ninjas.

The anger seemed to ignite the air, and the depressing and heavy atmosphere made it almost hard to breathe.

In front of the Hokage Building, on the wide square, hundreds of people were standing there. No one spoke, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

They were all waiting for someone to appear.

The Anbu belonging only to the Hokage appeared, wearing black clothes and white masks, emitting silent oppression, and standing silently in front of the crowd.

The next moment, a figure walked out of the Hokage Building.

The warm sunlight shone on his face and dispelled the shadow. The moment his face was revealed, hundreds of silent ninjas suddenly burst into cheers.

"hero!"

"hero!"

"hero!"

The words kept repeating, as if they had been discussed in advance.

The crowd's intense and excited emotions made them roar tirelessly, with each wave of sound getting louder than the last, even threatening to blow the roof off the house.

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, he is a hero!

The hero who saved Konoha - Uchiha Munetsuki!

Looking at the dark crowd and hundreds of eager eyes, Uchiha Sogetsu slowly raised his hand and pressed it down.

Suddenly, the enthusiastic cheers disappeared, replaced by silence.

Just a simple action can make hundreds of people obey quietly. Such powerful prestige and cohesion even made the rare people in the back show surprise.

"I'm so ashamed that I'm back late."

Uchiha Munetsuki showed a sad expression, his voice was low and hoarse, and a trace of tears passed through the corners of his eyes: "I want to apologize to you. If I could be faster, maybe the village would not be like this, so many people would not die, and it would not be destroyed by the Cloud Ninja."

Danzo, who was hiding in the dark, face twitched when he heard these words, and he angrily scolded this kid, saying that it was obvious that he was making a veiled accusation!

"No! We don't blame you!"

Someone in the crowd cried out loudly, "This is not your fault. You are the hero who saved Konoha, Lord Munetsuki!"

"Yes, you are a hero, you have done your best!"

"Don't apologize, Lord Zong Yue, lead us to revenge!"

Faced with the excited crowd, Uchiha Sotsuki had no choice but to raise his hand and press down again.

The crowd calmed down, and he looked at them one by one, then revealed a bit of bitterness and said: "In fact, I am not qualified to act as the Hokage. Danzo-sama tried his best, but this is not the result he wanted. I hope everyone can forgive him and not blame him too much."

Danzo was so angry, how could she not see that this guy deliberately brought up the past, clearly trying to put the blame on her!

As expected, angry curses broke out in the crowd.

"Fuck that shit Danzo!"

"If it weren't for that bastard, how could Konoha be invaded?!"

"Danzo should die! Let him commit seppuku to apologize!"

"That's right!"

The curse was so filthy that Danzo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

After finally calming the crowd, Uchiha Munetsuki took a deep breath and said, "Since I will be taking over the position of Hokage temporarily, I have a few words to say to everyone."

"Master Zong Yue, please speak!"

"That's right, no matter what, we'll listen!"

The time was almost right. Through his spiritual vision, he could see that at this moment, everyone's mind and body were stained with anger and hatred. So he added the power of hypnosis to his words and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Today, we stand here! Standing on the land of Konoha! This land that our ancestors have watered with their blood and dignity!"

"Behind me are the statues of successive Hokage! They are the heroes who have quelled wars and led us to victory many times!"

"In front of me stands the ninja of Konoha Village, groaning ninja in anger and humiliation!"

"Look around you. That is the village destroyed by the Cloud Ninja. There are relatives, friends, and children lying under the rubble. They used their Jinchūriki to break into Konoha, trampling on our dignity at will, slaughtering our civilians, and destroying our homes!"

Everyone subconsciously looked around at the destroyed ruins, and the anger in their hearts grew stronger.

But at the same time, a feeling of humiliation filled his heart, and he was unconsciously led to focus his hatred and resentment on the invaders and Danzo.

"Until this revenge is taken, Konoha and our dignity will cease to exist!"

"The Cloud Ninjas bully us, and even the weak Mist Ninjas and Sand Ninjas dare to trample on our dignity. Are we going to endure this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly roared.

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

Three huge roars seemed to disperse the clouds.

"Protesting and condemning are acts of cowardice!"

Uchiha Munetsuki then said, "Such an action will only make them look down on us even more!"

"We will crush their bodies, trample on their dignity, and ravage their lives from body to spirit, so that from now on, they will tremble when they hear the name of Konoha!"

"In the name of revenge, we will unite!"

"Fight for Konoha, fight for those who died, fight for dignity and life!"

"I, Uchiha Munetsuki, hereby swear!"

Uchiha Munetsuki was like a devil, stirring everyone's heartstrings: "I will lead you to take back the lost dignity and crush those who dare to offend Konoha!"

"Crush them!"

"Crush them!"

"Crush them!"

The crazy will to fight, mixed with strong anger and hatred, ignited everyone's emotions.

"No surrender! No reconciliation! No compensation!"

Uchiha Sogetsu said word by word, sonorous and powerful: "We have only one goal. To destroy the village!"

Danzo, who was standing aside, had his eyelids twitching wildly.

I thought I was extreme enough, but I didn't expect this guy to be even more extreme!

As expected, no one in the Uchiha clan has a normal brain!

Chapter 181 Art is explosion!

Thick, black clouds like ink covered the sky above Mount Platycodon.

A large army of nearly 10,000 Cloud Ninjas were assembled at the Kikyo Mountain Fortress. From a distance, they looked like a black tide, emitting an invisible, depressing aura.

Almost half a day had passed since the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki launched a surprise attack on Konoha headquarters.

If the plan went well, he should be back soon. Raikage Ai had a blank expression on his face, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes lowered, with a hint of worry in them.

But as time went by, after the agreed time had passed, Raikage Ai's face gradually became gloomy, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.

"What the hell happened to Bi?"

Raikage Ai forced himself to suppress the restlessness in his heart. He knew his current identity and must not show any panic.

Otherwise, if other people saw that even the Raikage lost his composure and showed a panic expression, it would undoubtedly cause a huge and painful blow to the morale of their own side.

Just when he was about to give up, he finally saw a familiar figure.

"Lord Raikage, it's Lord Killer Bee who has returned!"

The scout who was exploring ahead quickly turned back and reported: "And Lord Killer Bee successfully brought back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Hearing this, Raikage Ai finally put down the burden in his heart. He let out a long sigh, clenched his fists, and looked excited.

After hearing the good news, others also cheered.

"Long live Lord Raikage! Long live Lord Killer Bee!"

"Woohoo! That's great!"

"Kirabi-sama is so powerful that he actually brought back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"Hahahahahaha, Konoha is finished now!"

Amid the cheers of the people around him, even the calm Raikage Ai couldn't help but smile.
