Konoha: Uchiha's Magnificent Rebellion

Page 67

Uchiha Yuan sighed softly and said, "I... am looking at two naive guys."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Daohai and Yueguang Liufeng couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Moonlight Flowing Wind quickly asked, "Master Yuan, why do you say that?"

As a squadron leader, he had been called cold-blooded, cruel and domineering, but Yueguang Liufeng had never thought that he would be labeled as naive.

By the time children in the ninja school are in the third grade or so, they almost all lose their innocent and simple ideas.

Saying that he is naive is actually saying that he is stupid.

Qiu Daohai scratched his face and said with a silly smile: "Haha, it's really interesting that people call me naive."

Then he said, "Could you please enlighten me, Lord Yuan?"

Uchiha Yuan said: "If Lord Orochimaru could ascend to the position of Hokage, I'm afraid the current Fourth Hokage would be him. How could it be Namikaze Minato?"

"Although Namikaze Shinobu is quite powerful and is even known as the Golden Flash by the ninja world, he is far inferior to Lord Orochimaru in terms of strength, prestige, and followers."

Akimichi nodded and said, "Master Yuan is right. To be honest, when Minato succeeded the Fourth Hokage, although I was very happy for him, I was shocked at first. I didn't expect that he could actually defeat Master Orochimaru in the election."

Moonlight Flow Wind frowned slightly. He felt that there was something wrong, but he didn't know what it was, so he asked, "Master Yuan, but now there is no one with the same reputation as the Fourth Hokage, whose golden flash shocked the ninja world. Why is it that Lord Orochimaru still can't succeed as Hokage?"

Uchiha Yuan looked at Yueguang Liufeng with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Most ninjas were like Yueguang Liufeng. They were experienced in combat and assassination, but they were extremely immature and dull when it came to sensitivity to power struggles.

At this time, Yamanaka Kino said on behalf of Uchiha Fumi, "Maybe someone doesn't want Lord Orochimaru to succeed as Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guang Liu Feng's face suddenly showed a fierce look, and he said, "Who is it?"

Then he saw Yamanaka Kino and Uchiha Fuu looking at him quietly.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Akimichi say in a low voice: "Kino, could it be the Third Hokage who stopped Lord Orochimaru?"

As Yamanaka Kino walked, he whispered, "I don't know. All this is just our wild guess."

Moonlight Flow Wind asked, "But why? Isn't Lord Orochimaru a disciple of the Third Hokage?"

At this time, Uchiha Yuan said softly: "Ryufu-kun, I heard that the Fourth Hokage had many disputes with several advisory elders?"

Moonlight Flowing Wind nodded, "I once served as an Anbu guarding the Hokage's office, and there were indeed several times when I saw the Fourth Hokage's decisions being directly overruled by several advisory elders."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuan asked again, "If the Fourth Hokage is Lord Orochimaru, do you think those advisory elders would dare to overrule his decision?"

At this moment, the ferocious face of Orochimaru appeared in the minds of Yueguang Liufeng and the others, and they suddenly felt a palpitation of fear.

Qiu Daohai said bluntly: "If the advisory elders dare to veto Lord Orochimaru's decision, they will probably be immediately entangled by Lord Orochimaru's venomous snake."

Yamanaka Kino sighed. As a staff officer, he immediately understood the power struggle among the village's top leaders through Uchiha Yuan's words.

He said: "It is because of Lord Orochimaru's great prestige that he was blocked by the higher-ups and could not succeed the Hokage.

Because if Lord Orochimaru becomes Hokage, the power of the advisory elders will be gone, and Lord Orochimaru will not allow anyone to tell him what to do."

"So that's it."

Both Yueguang Liufeng and Qiu Daokai showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Although it was a little hard to believe that the third generation and other village leaders would do such a thing, their intuition told them that what Yamanaka Kino said was very likely to be true.

At this time, Uchiha Yuan smiled and said, "In fact, if we want to prove whether our guess is true, we only need to see who will be the fifth generation of the village.

If it is another young man similar to the Fourth Generation, then our suspicions are very likely to be true."

Akimichi asked, "Who do you think is most likely to be the fifth generation, given that he is young, powerful, and prestigious?"

Suddenly, Yamanaka Kino and Yueguang Liufeng looked thoughtful.

At this time, Uchiha Yuan said: "I think it should be the captain of the third team, Sarutobi Shinnosuke."

Moonlight Flow Wind said, "Captain Shinnosuke is indeed very likely, but I think the captain of the Ninja Squad, Nara Shikaku-sama, is also a possibility, as well as Mitarai Shisho-sama and Yamanaka Inoichi of the Analysis Squad."

Akimichi nodded repeatedly, "The Hyuga clan leader Hiashi and the Uchiha clan leader Fugaku are also possible."

Uchiha Yuan said without hesitation: "In my opinion, except for Captain Shinnosuke, no one else is possible."

After a pause, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Especially my Uchiha clan's patriarch, Fugaku, there's no chance at all.

Although people like Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi are qualified to run for Hokage, you forgot one thing: they are not from the Hokage lineage. They have no blood relationship with the previous Hokage, nor do they have a master-disciple relationship with them.

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, Yamanaka Kino and others' expressions suddenly changed.

Because they suddenly realized that the seemingly fair Hokage election actually contained an unfair condition.

Yamanaka Kino showed a hint of disappointment, "Master Yuan is indeed very insightful. I originally wanted to go back and persuade Uncle Haiyi to run for the Fifth Generation."

As they were talking, several people came to Uchiha Yuan's tent.

Uchiha Yuan said softly, "Our guess is just a guess. Even if we are right, the power struggle among the village leaders is far away from us."

Qiu Daohai touched his belly and said, "Master Yuan is right. Compared to who will be the fifth generation, I am more concerned about what to eat for dinner tonight."

After a while, Yamanaka Kino and others said goodbye and left.

Uchiha Yuan looked at the backs of the people leaving, his eyes flashing slightly.

When a seed falls, a crack will appear soon.

Chapter 93 Shocking Change

"Captain Moonlight's swordsmanship seems to be even more powerful. I definitely couldn't react to his turning-around slash just now. It was too fast."

"Yes, I originally thought that Konoha-ryu swordsmanship was just an ordinary swordsmanship, but now that I see Captain Moonlight performing it, perhaps this is the real Konoha-ryu swordsmanship."

"The Konoha-ryu swordsmanship was passed down by the Second Generation. How could it be just ordinary swordsmanship? If you think it's weak, it means you haven't practiced hard enough."

In an open space behind the camp, a group of ninjas sat around.

In the center of the open space, two figures were moving rapidly, and the sound of fierce metal clashing could be heard from time to time.

The two figures were Yueguang Liufeng and Uchiha Yuan, who were practicing sparring.

The sword light flickered and jumped, and the long sword in Yueguang Liufeng's hand drew several strange trajectories from time to time and attacked Uchiha Yuan.

However, these clever sword moves were easily blocked by Uchiha Yuan's kunai.

Compared to Yueguang Liufeng's constantly changing figure, Uchiha Yuan, who was constantly moving quickly around, seemed incomparably calm.

He moved with such agility and speed that he dodged Moonlight Flowing Wind's sword attack with a flick of his body, as if he knew in advance where the opponent's sword attack would come from.

"But the more powerful one is Lord Yuan. Every time I thought Captain Liufeng's sword moves were impossible to dodge, Lord Yuan always managed to dodge them easily."

"Seeing that Lord Yuan is still so agile, I finally breathed a sigh of relief."

"Me too. When I heard that Lord Yuan was seriously injured and would be a cripple even if he recovered, I really couldn't accept it."

"It's a good thing that Master Yuan is a Taijutsu practitioner. I heard from the medical ninja that Master Yuan's body was hit by a powerful lightning attack, causing irreparable damage to his meridians. Everyone knows that once the meridians are damaged, the flow of chakra will be affected."

"I've heard that too. Not only that, Master Yuan's injury might affect his ability to extract chakra."

"Yes, those medical ninjas were extremely surprised that Master Yuan was able to recover."

"This is all thanks to that pharmacist doctor. I heard that she used a lot of precious medicine to treat Lord Yuan."

"Do you think Master Yuan has recovered his strength? After all, before he was injured, he was able to fight against the Fourth Raikage."

Akimichi Kai sat cross-legged on the ground, looking intently at the two people competing in the arena, but he could hear the discussions of the surrounding ninjas.

Most of these ninjas were from the Fourth Battalion, and almost all of them were injured and bandaged.

The Fourth Battalion has now been severely damaged, several squadron leaders have been killed, and the battalion leader Iwaki Sumero is seriously injured and has been receiving treatment.

Therefore, as the only remaining squadron leader, and the great reputation he gained from his battle with the Fourth Raikage, Uchiha Yuan became the center of attention for these Fourth Brigade ninjas.

Ding!

Suddenly, a crisp sound of metal clashing was heard, and Uchiha Yuan swung a kunai with his left hand to block the lightning-fast sword of Yueguang Liufeng.

Then his figure flashed and he slid behind Moonlight Wind.

A light breeze blew, and a strand of hair fell with the wind.

Moonlight Wind was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched the place where his hair was broken, and said helplessly: "No more fighting, I admit defeat."

He thought to himself: "It was too fast. I knew the direction of Lord Yuan's move, but I still couldn't block it. If Lord Yuan was an enemy, he would have cut my neck more than a dozen times."

At this time, Qiu Daohai stood up and walked to the center of the open space, smiling happily, "Now it's my turn."

Then, he looked at Uchiha Yuan and said, "Master Yuan, I have figured out how to deal with your Collapse Fist."

In several previous sparring matches, Akimichi Kai was defeated by Uchiha Yuan's explosive punch, which penetrated his defense, impacted his internal organs, and dispersed the chakra in his body.

Uchiha Yuan put the kunai back into the leather bag behind his waist and said with a smile: "Then let me see how you can block my blast punch."

Then the two stood facing each other and formed opposing seals, ready to start fighting.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the camp, and then a figure flashed and appeared in the open space.

The person who came was Yamanaka Kino. He looked panicked and said to Uchiha Yuan, "Master Yuan, I just received news that the Cloud Ninja launched a large-scale surprise attack, breaking through three of our defense lines in one fell swoop and now confronting us at the fourth line of defense."

"what!"

"How can this be!"

Yamanaka Kino's words immediately shocked everyone around him.

Ever since the Cloud Ninja retreated to the border of the Frost Country and confronted Konoha, there has been no conflict between the two sides for nearly four months, after a few small-scale conflicts at the beginning.

The battlefield had been quiet for such a long time that many ninjas in the camp believed that the end of the war was not far away.

At this time, Yamanaka Kino's face showed sorrow. He looked at Akimichi Kai and continued, "Kai, there is even worse news. Captain Sarutobi Shinnosuke of your Second Battalion has died heroically."

Upon hearing this, everyone around fell silent and was shocked by the news.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is not only the captain of the second battalion, he is also the eldest son of the third generation and the heir to the patriarch of the Sarutobi clan.

Qiu Daohai was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "How is this possible? The captain has so many guards around him, can't they stop the enemy?"

Yamanaka Kino showed a bitter look and said, “It’s impossible to stop the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Kumo Ninja who attacked.

The enemy unleashed the Tailed Beast Ball directly at our position, and Captain Shinnosuke's position was right in the center of the Tailed Beast Ball's bombardment."

"hateful!"

"Damn Cloud Ninja."

Uchiha Yuan said in a deep voice: "Immediately raise the alert level from level one to level three. Everyone should remain vigilant at all times to guard against sneak attacks by the Cloud Ninja.

Now, I'm afraid the war is about to start again."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding ninjas used the technique of instant body movement to dodge away.

Uchiha Yuan turned to look at Yamanaka Kino and said, "I never thought that Captain Shinnosuke would sacrifice himself so suddenly."

Although he felt contempt and wariness towards the Third Hokage, Uchiha Yuan had no prejudice against Sarutobi Shinnosuke and highly approved of his character.

At this moment, hearing the news of his sacrifice, Uchiha Yuan felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Akimichi clenched his fists and said angrily, "We will definitely defeat the Kumo Ninja and win this war."

Over the next few days, the camp remained on high alert, continuously sending ninjas to the front line to gather information.

One day, Uchiha Yuan was being examined by the pharmacist Nono.

After a thorough examination, Pharmacist Nono said, "It's hard to believe. According to the data from the examination, Master Yuan's internal injuries have recovered by about 80%."

Uchiha Yuan got up from the bed and said as he put on his clothes: "This is all thanks to your superb medical skills, Doctor Pharmacist."

Pharmacist Nono smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to take credit for it. I have discovered that your body cells are full of vitality and have a strong recovery ability. This should be the reason why you were able to recover from such a serious injury."

At this moment, a Konoha ninja suddenly appeared outside the tent and said urgently, "Yakushi Nono, please come with me immediately."

Some people died, but not completely...

Chapter 94 Tsunade Arrives

"What happened?"

Uchiha Yuan frowned slightly and asked, then walked out of the tent.

When he saw the ninja standing at the entrance of the tent, his expression changed slightly. Uchiha Yuan recognized that the other party was a member of Sarutobi Shinnosuke's guard team.

"Master Yuan, Master Lily is seriously injured and in urgent need of medical attention."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuan's expression suddenly became solemn.
