Chapter 223 Uchiha Madara's White Moonlight [asking for monthly votes]
Kirigakure Village.
"Third Mizukage, the five years of war have almost brought the village to its knees, and we are still pinned to the island of Whirlpool Country by Konoha, and we have not moved a single step to this day."
"Yes, our Kirigakure Village's economy ranks behind the other five ninja villages. We have been spending a lot over the years, and have lost countless ninjas. As a result, we have not achieved any results on the battlefield. There are many opinions in the village now..."
Inside the Mizukage's office, the elders spoke solemnly about the current situation. It was not easy for Konoha to be besieged by the four major ninja villages, and it was not easy for them either.
Although Konoha was surrounded and beaten, their foundation was incredibly strong, and they were fighting on their home turf. On the other hand, it was different.
"That's why I want to discuss this plan with you!"
The mysterious long-haired Third Mizukage lowered his head and spoke hoarsely, and no one saw the flash of scarlet in the depths of his eyes.
"Lord Mizukage, isn't this too risky?"
"Yeah! This is the Three-Tails!"
"Even if we are attracted by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, this plan is still too risky!"
The elders spoke with serious expressions, but the Third Mizukage sneered.
"Danger? The Hidden Mist Village has been waging war for five years! Other ninja villages have fought their way into the Land of Fire, but our Hidden Mist Village has not made any progress at all.
If we negotiate peace with Konoha at this time, how many missions do you expect to receive after the war with the Hidden Mist Village?"
The five major ninja villages have so many ninjas who rely on missions to earn bounties. Once their reputation falls to the bottom, the amount of missions they receive will naturally decrease.
"And where is the danger you are talking about?"
The Third Mizukage smiled ferociously, revealing a murderous aura, which immediately made the group of elders secretly nervous.
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen sneaked into the Land of Fire to create terrorist attacks and attract attention. After that, the Three-Tails will appear in Konoha smoothly. We should be the ones who are angry then! The Three-Tails of our Hidden Mist Village was taken away by Konoha!"
"The Five Great Ninja Villages have never had an incident of seizing each other's tailed beasts. Konoha broke it! When the time comes, it will be Konoha that will have a headache!"
The Third Mizukage spoke of this bold and extremely dangerous plan with a ferocious smile.
First, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen sneak into the Land of Fire. If they are discovered, they will attract attention, and then the Three-Tails will explode.
If they are lucky, the Three-Tails will cause huge damage in Konoha Village, and there will be chaos in the rear of Konoha. The Mist Ninja can take this opportunity to directly capture the Land of Whirlpools and use it as a springboard to directly attack the Land of Fire.
If Sanwei doesn't achieve great results, they will be the first to complain to the outside world!
Capturing the tailed beast is the red line!
……
Konoha.
"Hokage-sama, this is the latest information from the Mist Village in the Whirlpool Country..."
"Third Hokage, this is the latest information sent back by the Root spies..."
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of thick smoke, then slowly raised his head, a slightly relaxed smile appearing on his face.
"It seems that Kirigakure is already at the end of its strength. The dissatisfaction of the major families, as well as the supplies and ninja reinforcements on the front line, all show that Kirigakure has reached its limit."
When Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him who looked 70% similar to him, he couldn't help but smile with relief.
"Shinnosuke, this is the latest information on the Kirigakure battlefield. Please take a good look at it."
"Yes, father!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the eldest son of the Third Hokage, completely inherited his father's short height.
Although he did not inherit the five attributes, he is proficient in earth, fire, and wind, and is also an elite among the jonin.
However, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had a hideous scar on his face, which was obviously caused by lightning.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but frown as he looked at the intelligence from the front line. Under his father's expectant gaze, he said in a serious tone:
"Father, I will lead the elite troops to patrol the coastal borders and never let Kirigakure infiltrate the Land of Fire."
Looking at his outstanding son, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, then shook his head and said:
"Infiltration warfare is what ninjas are best at. Your mission is to find the Mist Ninja and then eliminate them. You can be said to be the last line of defense to protect Konoha Village..."
Kirigakure only needs to use the Land of Whirlpools as a springboard to enter the Land of Fire, but there is no steep place to defend, just an endless forest.
"But you have to understand your real mission!"
When he said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone couldn't help but become a little heavier, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke understood and nodded solemnly.
"Father, I understand. I will help Minato with all my strength!"
Looking at his son who knew his limits so well, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile from his sad old face.
"Shinnosuke, you have grown up and can share the burden with your father. It's not that your father is partial to you. Although you and Minato have both inherited the will of fire, Minato is already able to truly stand on his own in terms of strength..."
Faced with his father's comfort, Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded solemnly. He knew his own weight.
"Don't worry, father. I understand your painstaking efforts!"
Assist Minato Namikaze to achieve merit and become famous. After all, Uchiha Ye's Mangekyo, the hero's reputation on the battlefield, has overshadowed everything.
Even during this war, the Mangekyō overshadowed the Sannin.
Originally, Minato Namikaze's space-time Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu was also a great success, but Uchiha Ya, who could not withstand the Mangekyo, also knew it, which made Minato Namikaze's light pale in comparison.
After all, you know the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu, which Uchiha Ye also knows, but you don't have the Mangekyō that he has, so naturally you will be overshadowed by Uchiha Ye.
"The Anbu, Root, and Intelligence Department will fully assist you. This time, defeat the Mist Ninja in one fell swoop and sound the clarion call to end the war! Konoha cannot continue to fight!"
As Sarutobi Hiruzen's heavy voice echoed in the Hokage's office, the two of them saw the deserted streets of Konoha through the glass.
Konoha has never been so depressed in more than 20 years.
Almost every household in Konoha was filled with sadness. Too many ninjas died during the war, especially since most of them were children and teenagers.
This even directly affected the Ninja School. The classrooms on campus, which were once filled with sunshine and laughter, now exude a depressing atmosphere.
The students in the classroom all had serious expressions and did not dare to relax at all as they listened to the lecture seriously. More importantly, almost all the students had bandages wrapped around their arms and legs.
This is a phenomenon that only occurs under high-intensity training. Under the pressure of war and death, even these children know that they will go to the battlefield once they graduate.
Once on the battlefield, most of their seniors, even brothers and sisters, will be engraved on the memorial tablet in no time.
Under the fear of death, no student was lazy or gave up, not to mention that there were even stricter parents.
Although the high-intensity teaching and training will compress the future growth space, everyone understands one thing, that is, if you can't survive the war, how can you talk about the future!
……
front.
"Minato-sama, the latest mission!"
A Konoha Chunin respectfully handed over a mission scroll, and after Namikaze Minato opened it and took a closer look, a smile appeared on his face.
"Gather everyone and prepare for battle." At this time, Namikaze Minato's sunny smile gave the ninjas under his command a feeling of closeness. The Konoha ninjas laughed and shouted, preparing to assemble.
"Minato, what is the mission this time?"
The fat Akimichi Choza asked in a simple manner, while Nara Shikaku beside him seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
As the right-hand men of Minato Namikaze, the Ino-Shika-Chou combination, and the intelligence of Nara Shikaku, had long seen through the plans of their Third Hokage.
The Sandaime wanted to promote one of his own to the position rather than let the Hokage fall into the hands of an outsider.
"Although this time is difficult, the family no longer has the opportunity to choose."
Nara Shikaku also frowned secretly in headache. There was no such thing as a neutral party. If the three tribes did not take sides, how could they have developed huge resources over the years.
"but……"
Nara Shikaku glanced at Yamanaka Inoichi who was standing beside him.
"The disagreement among the Shanzhong Clan in the early years has unexpectedly turned into a good thing now. The Shanzhong Clan members of another branch have already joined Qianshou..."
In just a moment, information about the major families in Konoha flashed through Nara Shikaku's mind.
This is also why there will be ninjas in the mountains in Danzo's roots in the future, it is obvious that they are used for beatings.
"Shikaku, please analyze the intelligence of this mission."
With a sunny smile, Minato Namikaze pulled Nara Shikaku back. After taking the information, he nodded solemnly.
"I understand."
At this point, Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi had long become the pawns of the Third Hokage. After enjoying the resources for so many years, they naturally had to be marked as the Third Hokage. This was the price.
Their top priority now is to win the war. As for who will be the next Hokage, that is up to fate. Even if it is the Senju or the Uchiha, their three clans will be in the cold at most.
The development over the years is enough. There is no family that will last forever. Instead, the ones that really need to be suppressed are families like Sarutobi, and they will be affected at most.
After figuring this out, Nara Shikaku lowered his head and looked seriously at the information in his hand, then a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"The dual intelligence from the Root and the Anbu has been verified, and more than 80% of it is true. An elite brigade of Kirigakure is preparing to launch a surprise attack from here... Even if it is false intelligence, the battle line is also in our battle zone, so there is almost no need to worry about traps..."
After hearing Nara Shikaku's analysis, Namikaze Minato also smiled and nodded:
"Then our target this time is here!"
When Minato Namikaze's finger pointed at the target, Nara Shikaku was suddenly stunned. Then he looked up at Minato Namikaze's sunny smile, and he felt a pressure for the first time.
"Minato! You want to!?"
He swallowed in shock, but at this moment, under Minato Namikaze's sunny smile, there was a determination in his eyes.
"It would be a shame if we just passively defend against the intelligence we have finally obtained. After all, intelligence is the most precious thing. This intelligence also indirectly reflects that Kirigakure is empty. If we take the opportunity to attack here!"
After Namikaze Minato's fingers gently tapped an important stronghold of the Kirigakure defense line, Nara Shikaku looked solemn, he pondered for a moment and said in a serious tone:
"According to your plan, Minato, the success rate is very high, but at the same time, our elite team is too small to expand the results, but once the number of people increases, it is easy to be exposed..."
In response to Nara Shikaku's euphemism that it would be almost impossible to achieve significant results by fighting, Namikaze Minato narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"What if Nako is here?"
Uzumaki Nako!
When this name echoed in Nara Shikaku's ears, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. Looking at Namikaze Minato's smile full of fighting spirit, he understood at this moment.
Minato Namikaze also wanted to compete!
After thinking about this, Nara Shikaku's expression gradually became solemn.
"If this is the case, then the success rate is very high. We may even have a chance to completely destroy this Kirigakure base. I wonder?"
Although the latter part of the sentence was not said, Namikaze Minato knew it, and nodded in a serious tone:
"Don't worry, although Nako is not as strong as Kushina, she can already control the Four-Tails state and continue fighting for twenty minutes, which is enough for us to complete this mission."
Just when Minato Namikaze and Shikaku Nara were discussing a perfect battle plan, they did not notice that a pale face behind the trees not far away seemed to have heard something and then showed a sinister smile.
A moment later, Minato Namikaze led a hundred elite combat troops and disappeared into the forest.
……
In the dim cave.
"Lord Madara, Konoha's Namikaze Minato Jonin has been lured away, and it is impossible to provide timely rescue at this distance. Now the only one who can affect Madara's plan is Uchiha Ya..."
Listening to White Zetsu's report, Uchiha Madara showed an indifferent expression.
"Has he been led away? If so, then no one will be able to disturb this battle."
As the dull voice echoed, it was unclear whether the battle Uchiha Madara was talking about was a plan for Obito, or a farewell battle before he closed his eyes.
"Madara-sama?"
White Zetsu tilted his head and asked in confusion, while Uchiha Madara slowly turned his head with an indifferent expression and looked at Obito who was training hard in the distance.
"The fusion of the power of Senju and Uchiha is almost done. Let's start with the plan as it is. As for the junior Uchiha Ye, White Zetsu, go and lure him over... I want to teach this outstanding junior a lesson personally..."
Uchiha Madara's voice was hoarse and calm, but there was a hint of excitement deep in his eyes.
The outstanding successors he personally trained have inherited his original ideals. No one can understand his feelings.
In his heart! Uchiha Ye was cultivated by him. In this junior, he saw his former young self, a self who walked on his original path.
It can be said that the more outstanding Uchiha Ye is, the more excited he is, so he can't wait to see the outstanding juniors that he has personally trained and polished.
If Hashirama Senju is the first white moonlight in Uchiha Madara's heart, then Uchiha Ya is the other perfect white moonlight in his heart that he personally cultivated.
"Is it as good as I thought? Or is it better than I thought?"
When he said this, Uchiha Madara showed an excited smile, while White Zetsu looked at Uchiha Madara in astonishment.
"Master Madara, if you lure Uchiha Ye here, everything here will be discovered..."
Before White Zetsu could finish his words, Uchiha Madara waved his hand to stop him. Looking back at the connected white hose, he showed a look of disgust.
"Proceed as planned. Everything here is just what I want him to know! If he doesn't want to know, he will naturally not find any traces!"
As Uchiha Madara's domineering voice echoed, an excited smile appeared on his face.
He was looking forward to seeing whether the successor to his will, whom he had personally trained, could satisfy him!
Obito is just a puppet he chose, and only Uchiha Ya is the descendant who truly inherited his will!
Thanks: Brother 'Jerald2345' for the reward of 800 Qidian coins. Thank you all for your support.
The Third World War will soon be over, and as I said before, he will be promoted to Hokage soon.
