Konoha: Uchiha Extremists? Offering Loyalty!

Chapter 94 Real and Fake Bandits? Battle 1: Facing the Ninja!

“Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival; arrogance is.”

Yuuki shook his head with some regret.

“I have never participated in a war, nor have I ever commanded an army, so I have no opinion. I have always thought it is foolish to oppose something based on mere conjecture without any understanding of it.”

As Yuuki finished speaking, Tsunade was not surprised at all; this kid had always been opinionated.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes brightened slightly, revealing his appreciation.

This is the awareness a qualified subordinate should have, instead of shouting and questioning the commander-in-chief!

Thinking of this, he gave Jiraiya a disdainful look.

"What! Orochimaru, what's with that look?" Jiraiya jumped up from the ground, his expression turning serious: "Do you know that sending those inexperienced kids out alone will result in heavy casualties!"

"Jiraiya, you're too naive!" Orochimaru stood beside Jiraiya, the two facing different directions, and said calmly and firmly, "The fate of a ninja is to fight on the battlefield. If you succeed, your potential is converted into strength, and you enjoy the name of a genius. If you fail, you become a cold mark on a memorial stone. It has always been like this."

"Orochimaru, Konoha shouldn't have done this. You'll regret it!"

"Jiraiya, I am the commander-in-chief!"

After saying that, Orochimaru ignored the noise behind him and walked towards the vanguard. He planned to select some useful talents so that they wouldn't be used as cannon fodder.

Talented people have special privileges.

"Yuuki, the show's over. Come with me, let's go!" Tsunade instructed, tossing Yuuki a sealing scroll before swaggering out of the village.

Having truly experienced the battlefields of the Land of Whirlpools, she no longer harbors any naiveté about war.

As for Jiraiya?

The brutal war will tell him the truth.

Tsunade was followed by two Senju ninjas who looked very young and probably not Jonin.

Yuuki was followed by Uchiha Moriichi.

Of course, this wasn't the entirety of the Uchiha's support.

Three Uchiha Chunin were lurking in the shadows, responsible for protecting his safety.

Nominally, all three are Chunin, but in reality, each of them possesses a two-tomoe Sharingan.

It's not an exaggeration to call them three special Jonin.

The group hurried along the main road, the flowers, trees and shrubs rushing past like bubbles.

"Speaking of which..." Yuuki suddenly asked in confusion, "Lady Tsunade, what is our mission?"

They had only met once when they suddenly had to leave to continue their journey, without any sense of ceremony or preparation for battle.

Tsunade shook the bottle in her hand, popped the cork with her thumb, and inhaled the aroma of the wine with relish. "Didn't I say so?"

Yuuki grabbed the bottle, "First of all, they didn't say anything!"

"Secondly, according to the ninja prohibition regulations, please refrain from drinking alcohol while on a mission!"

If it weren't for the differences in family background and gender, there would be nothing wrong with the two of them sharing a room.

Yuuki felt like he had taken Mute's place.

No, that's not right.

Tsunade certainly wouldn't have a chance to develop a relationship with Kato Dan, so naturally she wouldn't take good care of Shizune.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Tsunade snapped her fingers, but didn't snatch the bottle back. "The mission is to suppress bandits and open up more logistical routes."

Yuuki asked in confusion, "Didn't the Hokage move all the ninja stationed on the east side to the west side? Why are there still bandits here?"

Tsunade's face darkened slightly, not because of Yuuki, but because she recalled the battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools.

Konoha's intelligence network on the eastern side has almost come to a standstill, with intelligence reports being extremely outdated.

The Senju and Uzumaki forces suffered unprecedented losses as they faced a pincer attack from the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud Villages.

"You can't wipe out all the bandits in the mountains!"

"Unless they are hired by nearby civilians, the village will not cause trouble. Who knows if the bandits are real or not?"

"Why do you think the village announced the extermination of the bandits ahead of schedule?"

"During wartime, there were concerns that enemy ninjas might infiltrate the mountain strongholds to obtain supplies and gather intelligence on the villages, so the bandits had to be eliminated."

"I understand. For the village, for logistics." Yuuki's eyes turned bloodshot, the three tomoe swirling within their sockets. "Suppress the bandits!"

Let's practice on the mountain bandits first!

He has caused the deaths of some people, but he has never intentionally killed many.

A hint of anticipation flickered in Yuuki's eyes.

Regardless, he was ultimately a Uchiha, and the fighting spirit flowing in his blood was indelible.

He had been waiting for the Second Shinobi World War for a long time.

This is a war with far-reaching implications for Konoha, a contest between clan ninjas and the Third Hokage that will determine who is superior.

The five great ninja villages saw countless ninja perish.

The small and medium-sized ninja villages were completely transformed into a living hell.

Similarly, the young ninja established his own glory.

This is also the time for Yuuki to change the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.

Tsunade was successfully divided, developing doubts and even hostility towards the Hokage.

However, it has limitations.

Most clan ninjas are still trapped in the vicious cycle of 'the village is everything, and everything is for the village'.

This is the fault of Hashirama Senju, who placed the village above everything else.

The decay of the leaves thus laid the foundation for the process.

What Yuuki wants to do is break the 'ideological imprint' and change some people's minds.

It should be that the Uchiha and Senju jointly control Konoha, not that the Uchiha and Senju of Konoha are Konoha!

......

The group traversed the mountains and forests, and once again stood before a mountain stronghold.

The village was deserted, except for a small amount of supplies left behind by the sensible villagers.

As Konoha was about to be mired in a quagmire of war, the lives of the common people in the Land of Fire seemed to be getting a little easier.

The Konoha envoy arrived, and the bandits were wiped out.

With the arrival of the ninja, the village is at peace!

According to the villagers near the mountain stronghold, the bandits all disappeared after the arrival of the ninja.

It must be Konoha's doing!

Could those damned bandits just disappear on their own?

And so, Tsunade and Yuuki cleared a relatively safe path, gradually moving away from the core area of ​​the Land of Fire and heading towards the periphery.

The situation in this area is much more complicated.

Yushu released several stinging ants to monitor the surrounding area in real time.

A group of Iwa ninja, brazenly wearing Iwagakure headbands, made no attempt to conceal their presence while making purchases in a civilian village.

However, their skin was dark, and Yuuki, who stood at the top level of Konoha's medical expertise, could tell at a glance that it was tanned from the sun.

On the other side, a group of Sand Ninja stopped at a village littered with corpses to rest and regroup.

However, their skin was excessively pale, as if they had never seen the sun and rarely been exposed to sunlight.

"The Sand Village is quite cunning, disguising themselves as Iwa Village ninja in an attempt to drag Iwagakure into the war?"

"It's just that the Rain Ninja is too arrogant."

"What's the point of blindly killing people while pretending to be a Sand Village ninja?"

Yuuki set off, rushing towards the direction of the 'Sunagakure'!
