The sky is full of stars and the moonlight is shining obliquely.
The hazy moonlight illuminates the blood-stained Uchiha clan territory tonight.
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan was forcibly driven to the edge of Konoha, and suffered great losses from an economic and political perspective.
but,
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men were not prepared to fall out at that time, so the place chosen for them was still reasonable.
The entire clan’s territory is very large, and the Uchiha people were willing to invest money in it.
Pavilions, gardens, rockeries, and spacious courtyards. The architects who designed the courtyards fully preserved the natural scenery when building the houses. Various green trees and vegetation were perfectly integrated into the entire architectural system, forming a unique style.
just,
After a series of battles tonight...
The tribe's land was only somewhat spacious, as almost all the houses had collapsed and the green grass and vegetation had fallen to the ground.
At a glance,
flat!
Very flat!
It was as if the ground had been repeatedly rolled over by a steamroller, making the entire clan land very flat.
The ruins, bricks, stones and rubble all collapsed and shattered under the pressure of the invisible force.
and,
The ground is still sinking!
The ground became denser and smoother, and an invisible force continued to act on the land.
Logically speaking, under such circumstances, this place should become a restricted zone for life.
But at this time, there were still about five or six hundred people in this area.
These people exuded a cold aura, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were wearing blue and black clothes. They were all the members of the Uchiha family at this time.
Uchiha, the number one ninja clan in Konoha!
Before tonight, they still had about 2,000 tribesmen, but now there are only 500 to 600 people. Each of them is stained with blood, and their eyes are cold and crazy, crazy and quiet, quiet and...
"Yashiro-sama!"
"The pressure is too great, why don't we stay here!" The young man with the hedgehog hairstyle was bearing the severe gravity and it was very difficult for him to lift his feet.
The middle-aged man walking in front: "Hold on!"
"We must try to get as close to the Great Elder as possible. The Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed powerful, but every use is extremely taxing. The Great Elder is old after all. We must guard against the conspiracies and tricks of those forced guys in Konoha."
"and……"
Uchiha Yashiro looked at the people in the team. When he saw dozens of children with three-magatama Sharingan in the team, his heartache involuntarily intensified.
Soon his gaze swept across his people and scanned the surrounding area.
At the edge of the Uchiha clan, a group of people gathered from each of the four directions: east, south, west and north. Each of them had a solemn expression, holding a sharp blade and wearing a full set of protective gear.
"These people from Konoha are determined to kill us Uchiha."
"It's too dangerous to stay out there."
"It's fine for us adults, but children and the elderly can easily be ambushed by the lackeys of the third generation." He let out a long sigh.
"Master Yashiro, I am not afraid of death. I want to avenge my brother." A six-year-old girl shouted.
Yashiro said: "There is no need to rush for revenge."
The Uchiha clan had previously taken the blood enhancement pill given by Wang Ming, which greatly increased the probability of Uchiha awakening their bloodline limit tonight.
Otherwise, after experiencing the night of genocide, even if Itachi was found, at most dozens of Uchiha clan members with three magatama would be awakened.
There can't possibly be five or six hundred Uchiha with three magatama still alive.
During the Third World War, Obito was an ordinary Chunin. After awakening the Second Magatama Sharingan, he was able to fight back and forth with the Jonin immediately.
Here Itachi has five or six hundred and three magatama Uchiha, you can imagine their value.
just,
Most of these Uchiha were children, old people, women, or were originally Genin and Chunin.
Yashiro sighed inwardly, "It's a shame there's no time to give them time to familiarize themselves with their powers."
"It won't take too long, three days! Three days is enough for these kids to become qualified jonin."
The Yashiro helplessly said to the jonin around him: "You guys spread out and teach the ordinary clan members who have not received ninja training some fighting skills."
Then he said to Uchiha Tetsuka: "You should communicate with Tesho and get familiar with how to use the Mangekyō, and at the same time help him with his lessons."
Then he turned to Uchiha Inahiro and ordered: "Inahiro! Go train the clan members who were originally Chunin."
Finally, he raised his voice and said, "Those of you who were originally jonin, but have not awakened the Sharingan, or do not have three magatama, come to me and I will teach you how to use the Sharingan to fight."
Uchiha Yashiro said seriously: "My clansmen!"
"You must cherish this hard-earned time!"
"Study hard, and try to kill one more lackey of the third generation before you die."
Uchiha Yakumi heard this and asked in confusion: "Yashiro, why are you so pessimistic?"
"Didn't our Great Elder also awaken the Kaleidoscope?"
Uchiha Yashiro shook his head and said, "You should know that the more you use your Mangekyo, the blinder it gets!"
When Uchiha Yaowei heard this, his face suddenly became serious: "You mean..."
Uchiha Yashiro nodded and said, "The Great Elder opened up this gravity pupil technique, I think it's to give us some practice."
Tiehuo also interrupted at this time and said, "Captain, are you so pessimistic about the elders?"
The Eighth Generation said helplessly: "Although the Third Generation is old, the elder is more than ten years older than the Third Generation."
"The Third Hokage rarely went to the frontline in his life, and even though he's old, he has the least hidden injuries among all the ninjas. The Great Elder experienced too many wars when he was young, and I don't know how many injuries he has suffered. When he gets older, all kinds of hidden dangers will appear."
Yaowei looked at the figure in the center area and sighed, "No wonder the radical character of the moment did not choose to take the initiative to attack."
The Eighth Generation said to Yaowei and Tiehuo with a bitter look on his face: "And the Third Generation is not just one person. Besides him, there are also Danzo, Utane Koharu and others."
"The Great Elder is doomed to fail."
"He doesn't care about the consumption of his pupil power. I think he is buying time for us."
"Iron Fire, Shoushao, you must not let down the Great Elder's sacrifice."
When the Uchiha present heard this, they looked at the old man in the central area with even softer and more respectful eyes.
···············
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two figures jumped forward quickly on the flat and wide open space.
The open space where they were located was turned into a huge square with a diameter of 900 meters under the terrifying pressure of Wang Ming.
The two people jumped rapidly and soon stopped at a position 400 meters away from the center area.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a black combat uniform, stretched out a hand to feel the pressure change in front of him. "This pressure is really terrifying. Even I can barely bear the pressure here."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Setsuna who was 400 meters away and said darkly, "With my physical strength, I should not be able to break through to Setsuna. I'm afraid that only the Raikage can do it in the entire ninja world."
Danzo snorted coldly and said, "Then just don't get close."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not respond to Danzo's words, but walked to the front and shouted to Wang Ming: "Setsuna! You should understand that you are destined to have no chance of winning tonight."
"Danzo was indeed wrong about what happened today, but it is also true that you Uchiha wanted to rebel."
"And the people who proposed the action and actually took action were also your Uchiha people."
"In view of Danzo's mistake, as long as you give up resistance immediately, I can leave a spark for your Uchiha family and prevent the Uchiha from completely disappearing from Konoha."
Danzo was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Hiruzen! You are too weak. You should kill all these Uchiha."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Danzo and said, "Shut up! I am the Hokage."
When Danzo heard this, a fire rose up in his chest and he reflexively wanted to say, "You'll regret this," but Sarutobi Hiruzen really wasn't in the mood to pay attention to him at this moment.
In Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, it would be more troublesome to deal with Wang Ming, but it was not unsolvable. What he was really afraid of was the Uchiha clan.
There were still five or six hundred Uchiha alive.
With Uchiha Setsuna around, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not instantly kill the last five or six hundred Uchiha.
As long as we can't kill the Uchiha instantly, it will be a big problem.
The courtyard of Shashana in the central area has been completely merged into the ground under the crushing force of Wang Ming's gravity. At this time, his upper body is standing straight, and he is sitting on a large bluestone, with his crutches on his knees, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression is calm.
After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Wang Ming slowly raised his eyes and said, "Is it destined?"
"What gave you such courage?"
"I think you are destined to be the loser tonight."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Setsuna, don't be ungrateful. Don't think you are invincible just because you have this gravity field."
"If I sincerely want to destroy your Uchiha clan, I only need to guard outside your gravity field for a day and a night."
"If you don't even ask me to do anything, you'll be blind in an instant."
Wang Ming looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a strange look, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Because of the long distance, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke loudly, so everyone present could hear it.
For a time,
The disgust that other ninjas had felt out of fear of Uchiha's ability to copy secret techniques disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by sympathy and pity, and of course there were also some fools who gloated over his misfortune.
When the Uchiha family heard this, their hearts were filled with gloom.
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "Setsuna! As the elder of the family, you should consider the future of the family."
"I am willing to give you one last chance. As long as you rebels surrender and commit suicide, I can pardon the Uchiha children and allow the Uchiha family to remain in Konoha."
"Setsuna, are you going to use your stupidity to completely make the Uchiha disappear from the ninja world?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said as if he was completely considering you.
At this point, he couldn't help but say:
"Wherever leaves flutter, there will be fire burning. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village, and new leaves will continue to sprout."
Everyone who heard this had different expressions.
Uchiha Yaowei and other older generations looked at each other, then looked at the children behind them, and they also began to waver at this time.
At this moment, Wang Ming in the central area chuckled and said, "The will of fire?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "That's right! It's because of the Will of Fire."
"It was because of the Will of Fire that the first generation was able to pacify the chaotic Warring States period."
"It is because of the Will of Fire that we have the hard-earned peace we have today."
"You Uchiha have come to this point today because you do not understand the Will of Fire."
"The same is true when you replace the village with the family."
Moment! Now is the time for you leaves to pay for your family.
The ninjas present found it very strange, but they couldn't say what was wrong with it. It seemed quite correct, especially for the family ninjas, who resonated strongly with it.
Wang Ming laughed: "Hahaha!"
"The will of fire?"
"Monkey, it's hilarious that you talk about the Will of Fire in front of me, Uchiha. It's hilarious."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was gloomy. In all his years as Hokage, this was the first time someone had been so disrespectful to him.
He wanted to turn around and leave immediately, just like he said, to stay outside the gravity field and wait for Wang Ming's pupil power to run out. But when he thought of the five or six hundred crazy people with red eyes, he immediately held back.
"The will of fire was passed down by Lord Hashirama. Are you dissatisfied with Lord Hashirama?" Danzo spoke for the Third Hokage at this time.
Wang Mingdao: "How could that be?"
"The Will of Fire!"
"No one understands the Will of Fire better than me, Uchiha."
"Hashirama asked Madara what the village should be called. Madara was thinking about Hashirama, so he blurted out Konoha!"
"Someone asked Hashirama how to address the village chief, and Hashirama thought about Madara..."
"So, Hashirama, who is good at Wood Style, and Tobirama, who is good at Water Style, call themselves Hokage."
Everyone looked strange when they heard this.
Wang Ming continued: "As for the will of fire..."
"Madara and Hashirama didn't want to see their children go to war, so they built a village. The older generation protected the village, and the children grew up healthily in the village. Then the grown-up children continued to protect the children in the village.
The Will of Fire of Hashirama and Madara is that the older generation burns their lives to protect the next generation of children."
"The first Hokage did it in his lifetime."
“The Second Hokage, Tobirama, had a bad personality and a head full of conspiracies, but he did it.
During the First Ninja World War, he, who possessed the Flying Thunder God, could have used your lives, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo's, to lure the pursuers back, but he still carried out the Will of Fire in his heart and did not let you, who were younger than him, be sacrificed in exchange for his life. "
"As for you, Sarutobi Hiruzen..."
"Whether you have the will of fire or not, I will understand if you know it, haha..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing became heavy and his eyes were extremely cold.
The patriarchs of the major ninja clans in Konoha looked at each other as if they were looking at air, and did not look in the direction of Sarutobi Hiruzen at all. However, the way other people looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen was interesting.
The white-haired Anbu in a mask trembled slightly, but soon returned to his calm appearance.
Regardless of their expressions, they were all thinking about Wang Ming's words in their hearts, and at the same time, they were examining the inconsistencies between the words and actions of the Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen. (End of this chapter)
