Chapter 153: The Scorching Night (Preface/Two in One)
Suddenly, a shrill warning sounded in the basement.
Kaguya turned to face behind him, only to see the Root Troop Leader he thought was solved sitting there, a mocking smile on his face and a red button falling out of his hand. Unexpectedly, the electric current that was enough to paralyze an elephant in an instant was actually diverted by the root army leader with the family secret technique, and he also bit the tip of his tongue at the last moment, and maintained his consciousness with the help of severe pain.
"You, don't you want to...... Alive... Leave ......"
As he spoke, three tattered cursed puppets fell out of the arms of the root troop leader, was that a curse? Kaguya's eyes widened slightly. It was true that there were people in the Hokage world who manipulated spell seals so much that they could transfer the damage they took to the puppet through the spell, but he had always thought that it was a secret technique that only the people of the Sand Ninja Village could do.
But after doing all this, the commander of the root army also completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The alarm sounded throughout the root base camp, and Kaguya knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he simply stopped hiding it, and he had to act as soon as possible, because when the root reacted and activated the spatial enchantment, then he would really become a turtle in the urn, even if he could kill a bloody path, it would be different to not be able to leave alive with Fugaku.
"It seems that there is no time, let's go, Fuyue."
With that, Kaguya glanced back at the unconscious root troop leader deeply, and waved his hand to join him and Fugaku in the world.
Then Kaguya looked left and right, and before the roots activated the spatial barrier, a burst of white light shone brightly.
Kagura flashed through short distances, fleeing the area in an instant.
When Kaguya returned to the forest on the surface, he immediately chose to detonate the explosive charm buried around him, disguised as the gangsters trying to forcibly invade the roots, but his real body had quietly retreated.
- Boom!
The sound of a huge explosion instantly shook the entire Konoha Village, and countless people were awakened from their night's sleep.
The inhabitants of the street rushed out one after another, and they were horrified to find that not far from the village there was a fire that rose into the sky, accompanied by the sound of incessant explosions, which almost lit up the night sky for half the day.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Late at night, the Uchiha Mansion.
At this time, Yue Yong was still sitting cross-legged in her boudoir, and under her seemingly calm face, she was already anxious in her heart.
Kaguya didn't know if she forgot or did it on purpose, she didn't even use telepathy, and Tsukiya didn't get an answer to her inquiries several times - this not only made Tsukiyo's heart more and more worried, but a few times when she thought about Kaguya was in danger, she clenched her fists at that moment, her eyes were red, and she wanted to immediately lead the Uchiha to the root.
But reason told her not to be impulsive, Kaguya's ability she knew better than anyone else, even if he was surrounded by thousands of troops, he had the ability to deal with it calmly, not to mention that it was just a root formation, in terms of danger, can it be compared to when a single soldier infiltrated the Sand Ninja Village?
And just when Yue Yong suppressed his emotions, suddenly there was a noise outside the house, first heard a crisp sound of armor pieces colliding, and then saw more than a dozen heavily armed Uchiha suddenly rushed in, these Uchiha are all elite combat forces, sleepless tonight, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.
The so-called emergency situation is to immediately start a war with the higher-ups, and in Kaguya's words, when Nebe dares to kidnap Fugaku and assassinate Uchiha, the situation has taken a sharp turn to the edge of time and space. Now it is not a problem between the three generations and the Uchiha, but the two sides are tearing their faces and bayonets are red, and it is simply too naΓ―ve to want to solve it peacefully at this time.
Therefore, Yueyong immediately ordered all the Uchiha to wear armor, sharpen their swords and prepare for battle, and all the old and weak women and children were temporarily transferred to the underground secret room of the shrine. Therefore, the entire Uchiha clan land was in a gloomy and trembling atmosphere at this time, and that invisible pressure spread on every Uchiha's body, and at the same time, the cold wind of tonight became even colder.
The reaction of such fierce preparations naturally stimulated the shadows who were watching outside, and no one knew what the Uchiha was paying attention to, and why he suddenly broke out with such a violent will to resist - dark
The subordinates reported the information layer by layer, but it was like a stone thrown into the sea, and half a day passed without any instructions from the higher-ups, until the explosion sounded from the root of the damn root.
"Where the explosion came from?!"
In the Hokage Building, the three generations were negotiating something with Danzo, but a sudden explosion interrupted the conversation between the two.
Looking at the mountains and forests that were burning in the distance, Tuan Zang and the three generations frowned almost at the same time, the former subconsciously got up immediately, walked to the window quickly in a few steps, and after carefully identifying it, his face suddenly became gloomy, and Tuan Zang immediately understood that it was his old nest that had been dug up, such a big move and undisguised, it was better to cover up the traces than to say that it was a bright demonstration.
And the demonstrations were not warning, but more like some kind of public announcement before the start of the war.
"Tuanzang, it looks like you're in trouble!"
The three generations looked at the fire that exploded in the distance and said as if lamenting. The two of them had a big quarrel just now about how to deal with Fugaku and this matter, and the three generations insisted on returning both people and eyes, at least for now, Konoha does not have the conditions to start a war with the Uchiha, and the front line is still fighting, and the internal work is directly done - then the battle line of the rain country must not collapse immediately?!
But Danzang resolutely refused to return the people and eyes, he meant that Fugaku's information had been almost dug up, and he was about to shake out all his last breath tonight, and it would not be a problem for him to operate a little more to give Uchiha a big hat of rebellion. Now there is the support of Hinata's and other families at the top of the inside, and there are reinforcements from the Sand Ninja outside, and the only reliance on the Uchiha is that Kaguya is still far away in the Land of Rain!
Even if the two sides really fought, the high-level could completely use the advantage of the number of assaults to destroy the Uchiha in one go, and by the time the others reacted, it would be too late to rescue.
"What you have to face sooner or later, why twist and turn, it's better to take advantage of tonight to divide the winner and loser."
"Or would you rather watch the Uchiha family win hearts and win the title of the fourth generation in the next Hokage selection? Don't forget that they are Uchiha, and if the village is handed over to them, then Konoha Village will really be finished!"
"Have you forgotten all the teachings of Lord Nidaime!?"
Danzo was aggressive, seemingly deniing that he had personally brought about the situation, and now that Uchiha's most reliable pillar had returned, it was clear that the situation was out of his control.
"Bastard, you're gambling with Konoha Village! Do you know that if you fail, the whole village will have to face the end of life! Whether we win or lose, Konoha Village will be in ruins!
γ
"Then just rebuild the village on top of the ruins!
But in the face of the Uchiha, we must not continue to retreat, and half a step back is a cliff, ape fly!
γ
Danzang shouted excitedly, in his opinion, once the Uchiha seized power, it would be the end of him and the three generations, and the family would not let them go regardless of whether it was reasonable or not. Just like they have been deliberately suppressing the Uchiha for more than ten years, but the Uchiha may not kill the three generations, but in the face of his root in the shadow, the Uchiha are eager to dig up the roots!
"Even so, that's never an excuse for you to wantonly provoke conflicts, you've gone too far!"
Having said that, Miyome also knows that there is no point in arguing about right and wrong these days.
"Send someone to inform the families immediately, and we need to gather all our forces to strategically intimidate the Uchiha clan before things get worse - to prevent them from doing irreparable wrongs."
"Do you think they're still scared of that?"
Tuan hid to the side and sneered.
Miyome didn't speak, just stared at the sea of fire burning in the distance. At that moment, he seemed to see the burning and devastated Konoha Village in the sea of fire, countless villagers died in the screams, and the battle between him and the Uchiha No matter which side wins, the entire Konoha Village will suffer a huge impact, and maybe even collapse.
In any case, it is impossible to resolve the dispute between the two sides in such a cruel way, at least the three generations feel that Konoha should not be made to pay such a huge price. But in a word
If the Uchiha paid a terrible price, and Konoha was only a small price, then the three generations would definitely be very happy to accept it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this time, other families in the village also discovered the burning fire.
In the courtyard of the Nara clan, the patriarchs of the current pig deer butterfly are looking at the fire in the distance at this time, Nara Luyuan (the father of Shikaku, Shikamaru's grandfather. He was sitting in his yard with a frown, and across the chessboard in front of him sat his two friends, Kikuichi Yamanaka and Daimaru Akido of the Yamanaka clan.
Nara Luyuan, Yamanaka Kikuichi, and Akido Daimaru represent the backbone of Konoha Village, and the support of the family is very important to the Hokage faction, and because of historical and other reasons, the three clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly have always stood with the Hokage faction.
"The direction of that flame should be the territory of the roots, and it is really bold to dare to put a fire there. It seems that internal chaos in the village is inevitable, and we must also make a choice - right, Luyuan?"
Yamanaka Kikuichi just glanced at it twice, as if he knew what had happened, in his opinion, except for the Uchiha clan, no one in Konoha had the courage to sprinkle ashes into Danzo's eyes, let alone directly set fire to other people's territory.
"Are you still talking about such a clear thing, or do you mean that your position has changed and you don't want to stand with the three generations?"
Nara Lu said expressionlessly.
"No, it's just that a few days ago, I heard that three generations of adults went to the Uchiha family and broke up with each other. As a result, only a few days later, someone dared to rush to the roots and set fire, no matter how you think about it, the turn of things is too drastic. I'm afraid that Danzo-sama has done something behind his back that has made things worse."
"And that act that made things worse is the root cause of forcing the Uchiha to respond."
"If that's the case, it means that things are on the verge of spiraling out of control - Miyome-sama should soon summon us and the Hyuga clan, and with his character, he should want to make a final fight to deter the Uchiha from messing around by showing 'inner unity'."
"It would be great if it did, but what if it fails?"
At this time, Lu Yuan's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and a tangled expression appeared on his face.
"Are we going to sacrifice the members of each other's families for the sake of the symbol of power between the three generations and the Uchiha? Especially with the support of the Grim Reaper, Kaguya, once they are cornered, it's hard to guarantee that he won't transfer his anger to us, since he can abduct and kill three generations of Kazekage under the siege of Sand Ninja Village, then he has the ability to kill any of us at any time."
γβ¦β¦γ
"Lu Yuan's mind should understand that this dispute is not for the peace and rest of the village. It's purely a battle of ideas, since the second generation of Hokage has continued, the idea that the Uchiha must not be allowed to take power, their clan is an extremely dangerous element, and the third generation has only suppressed the Uchiha for so many years, in fact, not only the Uchiha but also our other families are also suppressed......
Syllable! A chess piece was slammed into the chessboard, and the white chess piece was suddenly torn apart.
At this time, Lu Yuan slowly raised his head, stared at his old friend seriously and said, "Juyi, what do you want to say? Don't tell me that someone as smart as you would want to give up supporting the third generation and throw himself into the arms of the Uchiha. I don't think they'll be able to come up with any benefits to make you bow your head, and it's a question mark over whether they can win."
"No, you're mistaken."
Kikuichi spoke unhurriedly, "I don't mean to take refuge in the Uchiha, but I'm warning you that there are almost countless small families in the village who think like I said they are. The reason why the three generations were able to win us over was because of the long-term closeness policy of the pig deer butterfly, and we also got great benefits from it."
"But those small families can't get any benefit from it, they have been struggling between the destruction of the family for a long time, and the village has not taken much care of them due to limited materials, so these families probably don't care who is in power
They care more about who can bring them enough benefits when they gain power."
"The Uchiha's policy didn't seem to intend to win our support from the beginning, they targeted the civilians and clans at the bottom of the village, and although the many benefits and promises have not yet been fully fulfilled, at least the commoners and small clans have seen the opportunity to climb up, and this is where the Uchiha is really frightening."
"They have a good eye, and that's what we and the top management have been overlooking. It's a pity that even if we react now, we won't have time to change it, just like the three generations tried to intercept Hu Uchiha, but found that no family was willing to share the ninjutsu and funds mastered, and the village's own materials and financial resources alone couldn't hold on."
At this time, Yamanaka Kikuichi raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan, who was lost in thought.
"Lu Yuan, the Uchiha may not be able to win, but once they have the support of the small family and civilians, they may not be able to lose."
"If the Uchiha really wins, then we ......."
"Hiss......!"
This breath of cool air gasped, making Lu Yuan from the head to the tail vertebrae.
It was a future he had never envisioned.
