Chapter 203 We are invincible!
Inside the tavern!
Umino Irubi was at a loss in the face of the constant questioning, but Uchiha Ye did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he turned around and pointed directly at the crowd.
"Uchiha Shisui! He graduated at the age of six and became a Genin. He is now in Kakashi's team. Chuunin Hatake Kakashi is eight years old and all the missions he performs now are related to war!"
As Uchiha Ye pointed at the two boys, one six years old and the other eight years old, this moment moved countless people in the tavern, and their eyes began to change.
Yes, they had thought about a lot of things, but they had never seen what the Genin of these big clans were doing.
Uchiha Shisui is a genius from Konoha's most powerful family, but he has to carry out cruel tasks at the age of six.
Not to mention Hatake Kakashi, who graduated to become a Genin at the age of five, and a Chunin at the age of six. Now at the age of eight, the missions he performs are no worse than those of some veteran ninjas.
Which of these two is not of noble birth? Which of them lacks resources?
So why are they fighting?
"Teacher Ye!"
At this moment, Shisui and Hatake Kakashi, who were being stared at by countless gazes, looked a little touched, but neither of them said anything.
They were taught from childhood to fight for honor and to protect the village!
At this time, the red-nosed middle-aged ninja with a limp on the side had tears in his eyes and shouted:
“This Irubi graduated as a Genin and carried out C-rank missions for two years. He has never even left the Land of Fire. But because he is said to have inherited the Will of Fire, he has now become a Chunin and has even been appointed as a school teacher!
Although I am not very strong, I fought in the first battle. Under the protection of the Second Hokage’s clansmen, I survived, but I was crippled. My son fought in the second battle. Why do you hide in the village and accuse me so recklessly? "
In a panic, Irubi even fell off the stage. This embarrassing scene was ridiculed by countless people.
They were not mocking Irubi alone, but were mocking this group of ignorant people and the disgusting people behind them who were behind it.
At this time, Uchiha Ye stood in front of the tavern with a serious expression and said calmly:
"The Konoha of today! And the Konoha of the past!"
"I only remember that when the first Hokage established Konoha, no one in the Ninja World dared to mess with him. After the war broke out, the second Hokage personally led us to defeat the enemy! But what about our third Hokage?
We didn’t see the strongest Hokage in the Second World War, and in the Third World War, a mistake in the intelligence department covered up a major decision-making mistake…”
At this time, Uchiha Ye's tone was extremely calm when he talked about the past, as if to indicate that these were all past glories.
But this tone also evoked everyone's memories of the once beautiful and peaceful village.
"And now Konoha! The morale of the ninjas has collapsed, but our problem is not that we are facing enemies that are several times our number, nor that the four major ninja villages have joined forces! It's that we are indifferent!"
The tavern, which was usually noisy, was eerily quiet today, with everyone's eyes fixed on the figure on the podium.
Just as Uchiha Ye said, the four major ninja villages suddenly formed an alliance and started a war, and all the fuse seemed to be caused by their Hokage, which caused the people in the village to be uneasy.
Faced with the sudden war, most ninjas were filled with confusion and were in chaos.
Yesterday, it was the top ninja village in the ninja world, but in the blink of an eye, it fell from the altar, and their Hokage was even more...
Uchiha Ye spoke calmly, as if talking about the changes that the village had experienced after the war.
"You! Even the entire Konoha... is confused. What they care about is not how the village can win the war, and how to defeat the enemy! Instead, they care about the conflict between these shitty wealthy families and ordinary ninjas in the village!
What matters is that we started the war, and this! What the hell does this have to do with us! "
The voice, calm at the beginning, evoked everyone's memories, and then emotions began to be aroused, the voice became louder and louder, and even revealed a sense of rebuke!
Especially when he said the last sentence, Uchiha Ye burst into anger, staring at everyone and shouting:
"No one cares? Are we just going to watch Konoha fall from the top of the ninja world? Our enemies have already reached the border!
This is a war! A war that has already broken out! They will invade our homes, plunder our resources, kill our loved ones, and wreak havoc on our land...
In the First World War, we joined forces and trampled down the ninja villages one by one! Are you going to let the losers who once stepped on you come back and trample on our Konoha now? "
As Uchiha Ye's final angry voice echoed, the entire tavern was silent and there was no response for a long time.
Ninjas all have a warlike and violent gene in their bones, but this time it happened too suddenly, causing them to be a little confused.
As Uchiha Ye described the cruelty of war, the eyes of many ninjas gradually regained clarity, and they recalled the war scenes they had seen before.
The displacement of small countries and the ravages of their homes were scenes that made many ninjas break out in cold sweats. If they lost this war,
It's not just that they have stepped down from the position of leader of the five major ninja villages, but there is a more cruel fact. They once brought war to small countries, and they will do the same here.
"No!" At this moment, an older Chunin thought of the tragic situation of Konoha becoming the Rain Country during World War II, and a look of fear suddenly appeared in his pupils.
"Fight! We can't let our homeland fall!"
"Damn it! A small country ravaged by war is the current situation after our defeat, and we haven't even fought yet!"
"We are the strongest ninja in Konoha, how could we let this happen!"
For a moment, under Uchiha Ye's speech, the tragic scene of the fall of the defeated country emerged in the minds of countless ninjas, and after the fear, they were filled with anger and murderous intent.
As the hostility was ignited, the entire tavern boiled over in an instant.
"The four great ninja villages are such shit!"
"Damn it! I killed two Cloud Ninjas during my last mission. How is that possible!"
"beat!"
The suppressed emotions in the tavern were ignited, and everyone started yelling in anger.
Looking at the crazy eyes of the crowd at this moment, Ebisu looked flustered.
"Asuma!"
"Shut up!"
However, this time, Asuma Sarutobi looked at the people on the stage with excitement in his expression.
At this time, Uchiha Ye on the stage was still giving a speech, and he kept waving his arms as the emotions in the entire pub were aroused.
"…Our enemies have already reached our doorstep. Raise our kunai! Ninja swords! Tell them that the Land of Fire does not welcome them! Even if the four major ninja villages join forces! Even if they outnumber us several times!
We have defeated them before, and the village's weakness and chaos are only temporary, which gave these thieves an opportunity to take advantage of us!"
"Now! We have to bet everything we have! Bet on our honor! Bet on our lives!" At this time, Uchiha Ye was passionate, and a swastika kaleidoscope representing the will of fire appeared in his eyes and spun wildly, and he shouted:
"Use our ninja swords and kunai! Tell all the enemies who oppose us once again that we are invincible! Let these invaders become victims! Victory will eventually belong to Konoha! Victory!"
When he said the last word "ten thousand victories", Uchiha Ye shouted excitedly and waved his arms, and the emotions in the tavern were instantly ignited.
The already suppressed ninjas exploded under the stimulation of alcohol and the exciting speech that made everyone's heart twisted into one rope.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
In an instant, the entire tavern was boiling, and countless Konoha ninjas burst out with terrifying fighting spirit, venting the depression in their hearts with crazy roars.
"Tell the entire ninja world that Konoha is still the leader of the five invincible ninja villages! We will make the entire ninja world tremble once again!"
"Hoohoo!"
"beat!"
Ninjas are complex and smart, but they are taught to think like ninjas since they were young. They are good at killing people and arranging tactics, but they know nothing about politics! Even though they know that this is inspiring.
They were also at a loss! But after a leader appeared, a person who could unite them!
Even the jonin were shouting with excitement, nothing could be more exciting than having such a powerful and infectious ninja, especially the one rushing in front of them.
The ninjas under Uchiha Ye's command below all had fanatical eyes and shouted excitedly. This was the strong man they wanted to follow.
This is the kaleidoscope they are going to follow!
Especially the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, their Sharingans in their eye sockets were excitedly opened in their fanatical eyes.
In the corner of the tavern, Asuma Sarutobi's face flushed and he couldn't help but shout excitedly. At this moment, the only thing in his eyes was the voice of the person on the stage who was shouting fanatically for Konoha.
This is the true will of fire!
This is the strong man worthy of their following!
This is the future of Konoha!
At this moment, Asuma Sarutobi seemed to understand something in his heart. His father had long lost his faith. What Konoha needed now was not kunai or resources, but faith!
A belief that can unite the entire Konoha into one!
A Hokage who leads countless Konoha ninjas to the front line without hesitation and arouses Konoha's fighting spirit!
This is what Konoha really needs, but now!
"Father! You are really wrong!"
At this moment, after Asuma Sarutobi realized what was in his heart, he couldn't help but roar in anger. At this time, if his father raised his arm, what would it matter even if he failed again!
Let the entire Konoha see how their Hokage protects their homeland, so as to arouse the fighting spirit of the entire Konoha!
"Why! Where is your fighting spirit, father? Your heroic spirit? What the village needs now is not conspiracy or intrigue, but to inspire fighting spirit against the outside world!"
Even Asuma Sarutobi understood this truth at this time, but the Third Hokage of Konoha remained silent as if he could not see it.
It’s not that he doesn’t understand, but that he considers more aspects!
"Brother Kakashi, it's Teacher Ye!"
At this time, Uchiha Shisui, the youngest boy in the tavern, had a flushed face, a fanaticism in his eyes, and shouted excitedly.
At this moment, he found his life goal and the person who was willing to follow him until death.
And Kakashi Hatake standing beside him also nodded firmly.
"Shisui, we must believe that Mr. Ye can lead us to defeat the enemy!"
Only those who have experienced pain can understand that when Kakashi was at his wits' end after losing his father, it was his teacher who pointed him in the right direction and told everyone that his father was a hero! A hero who sacrificed heroically for the village!
The pub was in turmoil that night, and the fanatical roars shocked the nearby restaurants and shops. Those who didn't know thought something was wrong with the pub.
Under the impetuous war, a new voice and will were born in Konoha!
……
The Hokage's office building.
"Hokage-sama, last night in the tavern..."
Listening to the report from the Anbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in front of the Hokage's desk, made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Only after hearing the information did he slightly lower his Hokage hat.
"I understand, go down."
"Yes!"
As the Anbu went down, a pair of cold eyes appeared under the Hokage's bamboo hat.
"Uchiha! The village has just been in turmoil and you can't hide your ambitions anymore!"
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was muttering to himself, the door of the Hokage's office opened, and his expression immediately returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"Hokage, the seventh team has been ordered to come and receive the mission..."
An elite jonin nodded respectfully, followed by three young genin. The most conspicuous were Ebisu, who had a flattering smile on his face, and Asuma, who was yawning and had a pungent smell of cigarettes and alcohol in his mouth.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this scene, he couldn't help but frown and said in an irritated voice:
"Asuma, it seems that you have been lacking discipline recently. Can't you learn from your big brother?"
Facing the reprimand from the Third Hokage, this elite Jonin lowered his head as if he had heard nothing, his eyes only focused on the scroll of the new mission.
The other two Genin were so frightened that they bowed their heads respectfully and dared not overstep the line in the slightest.
Only Sarutobi Asuma looked up at the old man hiding in the Hokage Building, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said:
"Yes, yes. I will learn more from you, big brother, in the future."
Now, when Asuma Sarutobi saw that his father just sat in the Hokage's office with an arrogant look on his face and could do nothing else, he was instantly extremely disappointed and no longer had the idea of refutation as usual.
tired! Destroy it!
"Hmph! Take a lesson from your companion Ebisu and see what you look like all day long!"
Suddenly seeing that Asuma didn't talk back to him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a rare moment, then he shifted his gaze and gave him a casual lecture, then told them about this mission.
"This time the mission is to eliminate thieves within the Fire Country... Among them is a suspected Chunin... The mission is C-rank."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
However, watching his team leader respectfully accept the task and his father's indifferent expression as if he was used to it, Asuma Sarutobi looked dazed and remembered the tavern last night.
Under the family mission of the Uchiha and Hatake clan, Kakashi and even Shisui, who was only six years old, participated in the war.
The Sarutobi clan's mission is to save the village! The Sarutobi clan is the last line of defense for the village, so we must work hard to practice...
Thinking about it now, Asuma Sarutobi sneered at himself.
"Father, it turns out that the so-called last line of defense of the village is just an excuse for your selfishness. Even the Uchiha know to go to the battlefield, but we Sarutobi are secretly retaining our strength..."
"At this moment, I finally understand that what the village needs is a brave, powerful Hokage who does not hide his ambitions! Not a bunch of corrupt people like you!"
At this time in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not notice the change in Asuma's expression because of the war.
"Let's go Asuma."
Ebisu greeted him with some confusion, but the once rebellious boy Sarutobi Asuma seemed to have grown up overnight. He raised his head with a calm expression and nodded slightly.
"coming."
There was no argument or rebuttal until Asuma left the Hokage's office. Sarutobi Hiruzen finally realized something and showed a look of relief.
"War is indeed the best catalyst. Even Asuma has begun to grow."
From beginning to end, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not notice any changes in his second son, whom he usually paid little attention to.
Asuma walked out of the Hokage building and looked at this mission with determination in his eyes.
"The Uchiha Genin will accept missions related to the war to reduce the burden on the village, but our Sarutobi clan is still carrying out missions near home..."
At this moment, Asuma Sarutobi raised his head and looked at the Hokage Rock illuminated by the rising sun. He couldn't help but squint his eyes. When he saw his father's portrait again, he felt it was so dazzling for the first time.
The corrupt Sarutobi clan has been sucking blood from Konoha, and perhaps sooner or later they will get their retribution!
This thought suddenly popped up in his mind inexplicably, which scared Asuma Sarutobi himself. Then he saw the family emblem on his arm and smiled self-deprecatingly.
"What an ugly pattern..."
Under the sunlight, when Asuma Sarutobi and his group stepped out of the Konoha gate, a torn armband fluttered and slowly fell into the river.
The armband with the Sarutobi clan's emblem printed on it slowly became wet and then sank into the water without making any sign of life.
Thank you for your support.
