Under the gate of Konoha.

The fourth generation, Yagura, transformed himself into an attack turret and continuously fired the Tailed Beast Balls to bombard Konoha.

Tailed beast jade!
The Tailed Beast Ball released by any tailed beast has a power that exceeds the level of a Kage. Except for the Third Raikage Ai, who has a strong defense that exceeds that of the tailed beasts, no one else will benefit from taking the Tailed Beast Ball with their physical body.

As long as the Tailed Beast Balls released by Yagura Gotsuchi explode in Konoha, the entire Konoha will be reduced to ruins in just a few seconds.

The Tailed Beast Ball is indeed powerful, but it's a pity that it won't break at the slightest touch.

Therefore, the Konoha Village waved a black stick and hit the Tailed Beast Balls that flew into Konoha away like hitting baseballs, and they exploded in the air.

The Tailed Beast Ball did not explode above, so there was no major damage to Konoha's buildings, but the explosion caused scorching temperatures and strong wind pressure, which continued to sweep across the surrounding area.

The huge aftermath of the explosion made the Mist Shadow Ninja's body somewhat unstable. He could only hide behind the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karuta, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast. Otherwise, he would be burned by the scorching air or blown away.

"It's so powerful!"

The sexy female ninja with brown-red curly hair poked her head out from behind the Fourth Mizukage and looked at the grand explosion in the sky above Konoha in the distance with an expression of amazement. At the same time, her heart was filled with a complex emotion.

The female ninja is none other than Mei Terumi, who will overthrow the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karutagi, and become the Fifth Mizukage in the future.

As a Mist Shadow Ninja, he was naturally extremely proud of the powerful strength of his own Mizukage, but when he thought of the horrible blood mist policy of the Mist Shadow Village, he couldn't help but be afraid of the strength of Karatachi Yagura.

The more powerful Karatachi Yagura becomes, the more difficult it will be for them to overthrow the rule of the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura.

Mei Terumi looked at the black sticks that occasionally appeared in the village and sighed, "I heard that the Third Hokage of Konoha is already over sixty years old, but he still has such strength. He really... takes good care of himself!"

The profession of ninja is completely a profession that requires you to spend your life.

Once a ninja passes his prime, he will age extremely quickly. This is why Mei Terumi was so eager to get married in her later years. For female ninjas over the age of 30, it is very difficult to have children.

"That's right! I have never heard of Konoha's Third Hokage appearing on the battlefield." The one-eyed middle-aged male ninja with long blue-gray hair echoed.

"The Third Hokage did not appear on the battlefield very often, but judging from the power he used to knock away the Tailed Beast Ball, he is not a simple person." Mei Terumi said solemnly.
Two conditions must be met in order to knock the Tailed Beast Ball away.

The minimum standard is to have the strength of a shadow, and then you need a very powerful weapon.

Biwa Juzo, the wielder of the beheading sword of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was accepted into the Akatsuki organization and teamed up with Uchiha Itachi. There is no doubt that he has the strength of a Kage.

When he went to the Hidden Mist Village with Uchiha Itachi to carry out a mission, he met the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, and Biwa Juzo hit the Tailed Beast Ball with his beheading sword.

At first glance, this seems like a brainless move, but judging from the fact that Biwa Juzo and Uchiha Itachi were not killed by the Tailed Beast Ball, Biwa Juzo does have the confidence to knock the Tailed Beast Ball away.

Biwa Juzang did not overestimate his own strength, but he overestimated the strength of the beheading sword.

He was not killed by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball, but was killed by the broken beheading sword.

"Based on the intelligence we have gathered about the Third Hokage, he is no match for Lord Mizukage." said Qing, a middle-aged ninja with long gray-blue hair.

The information about the battle scene on the night of the Uchiha clan's annihilation had already spread to the hands of the Kages of the major ninja villages during this period of time.

The other ninja villages did not attack Konoha immediately, but were just waiting and watching, wanting to see if Konoha could resolve its internal conflicts. They also wanted to let the Raikage Ai test the waters.

It was at this time that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in front of everyone.

He wore a black tight combat suit, a ninja hat, green laminated metal shin guards on both sides of the hat, and two long black cloth strips fluttering behind the hat. He had silver metal guards on his shoulders and back, mesh wrist guards on his arms and calves, and green laminated armor on his right arm.

The fully armed Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared, glanced at the whole place with a cold gaze, and said in a bad tone: "Uchiha!"

"You nine Mangekyō can't take down one Mizukage?"

"Aren't you known as Konoha's last line of defense? If it weren't for me, Konoha would have been reduced to a pile of ruins by now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen questioned Uchiha, and the remaining ninjas of Konoha also appeared here one after another.

The ninjas looked at the Uchiha clan with unfriendly eyes. The major ninja clans were happy to see the internal fighting between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage clan, but they could not tolerate the internal fighting during the invasion of the enemy.

Especially since his own family was almost turned into dust by the Tailed Beast Ball, the look he looked at the Uchiha became even more unfriendly.

"Why is Uchiha like this?"

"Yes! They are in charge of the police department. They don't even have to participate in the war. They are expected to defend Konoha, but they still allow the enemy to attack and enter the village."

"These Uchiha are such losers and selfish."

"If Uchiha Itachi had killed all these red-eyed people, it would have saved a lot of trouble."

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's questioning, Uchiha Tiehuo, who had been holding back without taking action, was in a very bad mood. Hearing the accusations and insults from the Konoha ninja, he exploded.

"Good! Good!"

"Since we, the useless Uchiha, deserve to be exterminated by that beast Itachi, then you should treat us all as dead today."

As soon as he finished speaking, blood was seen flowing out of one of his eye sockets. His eyes were locked on the nine Mangekyō Uchiha in the battle. A space fluctuation appeared, and the nine people returned to Uchiha Tetsuka.

The Uchiha clone, having lost its target, immediately headed towards the nearest target, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his group.

The nine Uchiha couldn't be said to be letting up in the previous battle, they just didn't fight with all their might. The Konoha ninjas who were fighting the clones at this moment realized how powerful these nine clones were.

Their skills are exactly replicated one-to-one, so ordinary ninjas are no match for them.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not stand idly by. With the joint efforts of everyone, they successfully broke up the clone, which was already severely exhausted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Karatachi Yagura who looked like the Three-tailed Isobu, and asked in confusion: "I asked Yan to lead the Kumogakure, why is the Mist Shadow here?"

"Forget it! Kirigakure and Kumogakure have the same effect."

After eliminating the Uchiha clone, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately shouted: "The Uchiha family neglected their duties! They failed to perform the duties of the police department. As the Third Hokage, I deprive the Uchiha family of the right to continue to lead the police department."

"at the same time……"

"The Uchiha family retreated in the face of foreign enemies..."

Hearing the fatal charges being thrown out one after another, both the Konoha ninja and the Kirigakure ninja present were shocked.

"Has the internal strife in Konoha escalated to this extent?" Mei Terumi said in shock.

Qing frowned and asked, "Is the Third Hokage suffering from Alzheimer's disease?" "In the face of Lord Mizukage and us, if you treat the Uchiha family like this, aren't you afraid that they will immediately mutiny and turn against you?"

When Mei Terumi heard this, her expression suddenly became serious: "Tell our people to be careful, something is wrong, retreat immediately."

Qing looked at Mei Terumi and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mei Terumi: "I don't think Sarutobi Hiruzen is stupid."

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was still putting on the hat, Uchiha Tetsuka used his eye technique again, and all the Uchiha with three magatama present were teleported to the Uchiha clan's territory.

"Humph!"

"The distance between Kirigai and Konoha is so far, and there are so many checkpoints along the way, yet they managed to get to us without making any noise."

"I think this must have been done intentionally by you, old dog Sarutobi. You wanted to use the Mizukage's sword to deal with us Uchiha." The young Uchiha Fangshui said.

"That's right! Fang Shui is right. It must be that old dog Sarutobi who wants to harm me, Uchiha." Uchiha Tiehuo agreed:
"Since the village wants us dead, we Uchiha will rebel against them." Uchiha Fangshui said excitedly.

The Uchiha with three magatama has returned to the clan. The people who are left at this time are all Uchiha with three magatama, and this Uchiha with a very sloppy name is also Mangekyō.

Don’t be fooled by his sloppy name. It was his father who was quick in choosing the name, otherwise the name would have been given to someone else.

When naming people in the Uchiha family, most people use wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth as their generation, and then add a character to make up their own name.

Those with some literary talent include Fugaku and Shisui, while those without culture are simple and crude like Tiehuo, Daohuo, Tsubaki, Obito...

Fangshui is such a careless name that you can tell what type of people his parents are just by hearing the name.

Uchiha Fangshui was originally just an ordinary Genin, but on the night of the clan annihilation, his parents, younger brother, and younger sister all died, successfully sending him from a Genin to the Kage-level Mangekyō.

He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his character was not mature to begin with. Under the influence of the Kaleidoscope, he became even more extreme and impulsive. He did what he said and immediately showed his [Susanoo].

The huge energy bone claw grabbed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Interesting! Looks like we can just watch the show with peace of mind and wait for them to both suffer losses." Qing said with a smile.

At this moment, the Fourth Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura, actually took action.

Nine water dragons emerged from thin air and rushed towards Susanoo. How could the first form of Susanoo withstand the attack of the Fourth Mizukage? Susanoo was shattered in an instant, and the Uchiha inside was blown away by the water dragon.

Everyone present was stunned. They didn't understand what Karutagi Yagura was thinking. He could have watched Uchiha and Sarutobi Hiruzen fight to the death and then reap the benefits, but he chose to end it himself.

The main purpose of the Mist Shadow's attack on Konoha this time was to test Uchiha's eye technique and consume Uchiha's eye power. It didn't matter to Karuta Yagura whether Konoha was destroyed or not.

Under the impact of nine huge water dragons, Karuta Yagura thought he was doomed to die. However, when he turned around to condense the Tailed Beast Ball and wanted to bombard other Uchiha, the figure of an Uchiha releasing the water condensed in the remaining water on the ground.

"boom!"

The water on the ground turned into a huge fist and uppercut the Three-Tails that had fully transformed into a tailed beast, breaking its condensed Tailed Beast Ball.

At the same time, a Mist Shadow Guard holding a blade smashed Fang Shui's body into pieces with one blow.

Terumi thought to herself, "The same water-transforming ability as the Kizuna clan?"

"What a pity! This ability is useless here, Mizukage-sama."

After discovering Uchiha's ability to release water, Gotachibana Yagura slapped the ground with one palm, and coral reefs quickly grew on the ground. Even the Uchiha's water in a hydrated state was solidified, and the giant palm raised high was about to slap it down.

Flames appeared out of nowhere, and Uchiha, whose body was 70% crystallized, was taken away by the iron fire.

"Fourth Mizukage! There's no need for us to fight to the death!" Uchiha Yaowei shouted.

The Fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, returned to his human form, shedding his complete tailed beast form, and looked at the Uchiha people with a cold face, without answering immediately.

"Lord Mizukage, there is really no need for us to fight them right away." Ao advised Karuju Yagura.

Karajima Yagura ignored Ao and looked at the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen who was watching: "How about we kill the Uchiha first, and then we can decide the winner between the two of us?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped the seal that was about to release [Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation].

Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to let the Raikage enter Konoha, and he didn't care at all whether Uchiha would join forces with Kumogakure. His confidence naturally came from the [Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation].

Leading the Raikage into the heart of Konoha was just to eliminate the disobedient ninja clan leader.

If the Uchiha sticks to his duties as a police officer and does not spare any effort to resist the invasion of the Raikage, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen can also stop attacking the Uchiha. After all, even if there are no casualties after repelling the Raikage, the power of his Mangekyō pupils will be severely depleted and will no longer pose a threat to him.

But if the Uchiha and the invading Raikage joined forces, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be even happier.

In this way, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a legitimate reason to destroy the Uchiha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen will only truly exert his strength when he summons the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, under legitimate reasons. Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried that if he summons them, they will break free from his control.

Under the gate of Konoha,

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Karatachi Yagura, and the Uchiha faction all remained silent and were wary of each other.

At the same time, weigh the pros and cons in your mind.

The expression in Mei Terumi's eyes, who was hiding behind Yagura Karatachi, also changed back and forth.

·····
On top of the Uchiha Center Tower.

"Great Elder! This... is this the tailed beast?" Uchiha Sasuke showed a surprised expression.

"What a powerful tailed beast, Konoha is in danger." Kurama Yakumo said worriedly.

Standing on the high tower, they could directly see the battle scene at the village entrance. The Three-Tails might not be as strong as the Third Hokage, but its destructive power definitely surpassed that of the Third Hokage, giving a very strong visual impact.

Wang Ming heard what the two kids said and chuckled, "Danger?"

"Three tails!"

"It's just a courier delivered to your door." (End of this chapter)
