Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 645 The Influence of the Second Ninja God
"We were originally fighting with the Iwagakure troops led by Huang Tu, but suddenly a mysterious man in a black robe with a three-magatama Sharingan rushed out..."

Mu Yue highlighted the key points and recounted what happened to them today.

Mu Yue did not go into detail about the battle process, but only said that this ninja who looked like Uchiha Madara was very good at fire escape, and then briefly described the size of Susanoo.

"Uchiha Madara, could it really be this guy?" Although the person who reported was Mu Yue, Jiraiya's first reaction was still doubt.

Because this news is really unreasonable.

The person who brought the news of Uchiha Madara's death was the God of Ninja, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama. It was Senju Hashirama himself who said that he killed Uchiha Madara.

Would Hashirama Senju lie? As a Konoha ninja, Jiraiya felt that Hashirama Senju had no need to lie.

Senju Hashirama did not need to use lies to increase his fame and achievements, he was already at the top.

So did Senju Hashirama deliberately let Uchiha Madara go, and didn't want Uchiha Madara to be hunted down by Konoha, so he said he killed Uchiha Madara?

It is not likely. Uchiha Madara had threatened to destroy Konoha. For Hashirama Senju, the Hokage, this was an unforgivable crime.

Take Jiraiya himself for example. Even if Tsunade said she wanted to destroy Konoha and stand against it, when the task was given to him, he would still kill Tsunade with great pain.

It's not because Tsunade is not important to him, but because Konoha is more important to him than himself and anything else.

Jiraiya didn't believe that Hashirama Senju, who founded Konoha, would be inferior to him in his love for Konoha.

But Jiraiya thought about it carefully and felt that if this Uchiha was not Uchiha Madara, there seemed to be no one else.

Even if Mu Yue didn't tell the story of the battle, Jiraiya could tell from Mu Yue's somewhat embarrassed look that his opponent was not simple.

There is definitely no such strong person in the Uchiha clan of Konoha today.

"Mu Yue, let me take a look at the body." Jiraiya said after thinking for a while.

He had never seen Uchiha Madara in person, but he had seen his portrait.

Mu Yue nodded, took out the scroll and released Uchiha Madara's body. A Fei's body had been peeled off by him in advance.

Looking at that face full of wrinkles and sagging skin, Jiraiya was stunned for a moment.

This was too old, he couldn't tell at all that this was the Uchiha Madara who could compete with the God of Ninja.

However, Jiraiya did not immediately deny the identity of the corpse. Even at such an old age, he could still beat Mu Yue so badly, which further proved his strength.

"Let me report to the higher-ups. Muyue, you should not lead the team out for operations recently." Jiraiya turned his gaze from the corpse to Muyue and said.

No matter who this corpse belongs to, one thing is certain now: there are forces in the dark eyeing Konoha.

Mu Yue nodded.

He and his disciples gained a lot this time. It would be better if they could rest more, sort out their gains and adjust their condition.

……

Ten minutes after Mu Yue and his men withdrew, several Iwagakure quietly arrived at the devastated battlefield.

They were the team left behind by Huangtu to investigate the situation. After watching the blue giant disappear from a distance, they thought the battle might be over, so they came to investigate the situation.

When the Iwagakure saw the situation on the battlefield, they all gasped.

The surface is covered with pits of varying depths and sizes, some of which are even more than a hundred meters wide, like the footprints left by a giant beast.

The Iwagakure people walked on this shocking battlefield, where stones and soil were mixed, forming rugged obstacles. Vegetation torn apart by powerful force was scattered everywhere, and the dead branches and leaves were covered with a thick layer of ash, recording the ruthless raging of the flames.

Then they saw the charred narrow gullies and the green flames still burning on the ground.

"Is this the kind of damage that humans can cause? Those two guys are going too far." The Iwagakure couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the traces of battle on the battlefield.

Although I did not witness the battle between Mu Yue and Uchiha Madara with my own eyes, just looking at the traces of the battle, I can tell that strong is not enough to describe them, they are simply monsters.

"It's impossible to tell which side is the winner based on these alone." The Iwagakure jonin frowned slightly.

Mu Yue and Uchiha Madara are too powerful. It is not clear whether Uchiha Madara is an enemy or a friend, but Mu Yue of Konoha Ninja is definitely an enemy of Iwagakure.

If Mu Yue wins, then Yanyin will either retreat and wait for support, or go back directly to the Land of Earth.

It is impossible for them to deal with the Konoha ninja army with the few people they have now in the Land of Grass. Mu Yue alone can surround a ninja army of a thousand people, and Jiraiya is not easy to deal with.

If Uchiha Madara wins, then this might be a perfect opportunity for Iwagakure to take action.

"Captain, there seems to be no bodies of Konoha ninjas here, but there are bodies of our Iwagakure ninjas." After searching for a while, an Iwagakure ninja reported his findings to the Iwagakure Jonin.

The Iwagakure Jonin frowned even deeper. This was not good news. It was basically certain that Konoha had won.

Because if Uchiha Madara won, there would be no reason for him to only deal with the bodies of the Konoha ninjas and ignore the Iwagakure.

"Continue searching." The Iwagakure jonin ordered.

Konoha’s victory does not mean that Mu Yue will definitely win. It is possible that both sides will die, or they may both retreat together after being defeated.

Then they found some traces of Konoha's troop evacuation, proving that many Konoha ninjas survived.

Half an hour later, after finding no clues, the Iwagakure Jonin led his team back to the Iwagakure camp and reported the situation to Huangtu and Liesi.

"Did it be Hanyu Muyue who won? Or that mysterious man in black robe?" Huang Tu asked hurriedly.

"The existing intelligence cannot determine which side will win, but it is highly likely that Hanyu Muyue will win."

The Iwagakure jonin told what he had seen and heard on the battlefield.

Huangtu and Liesi each asked the Iwagakure jonin a few questions, and after they answered, the Iwagakure jonin tactfully left the tent.

"Senior Lieshi, I think we need to retreat to the western border." Huangtu expressed his thoughts.

The Susanoo, which was over eighty meters tall, left a deep impression on him.

Not only can he defeat such a terrifying enemy, he also masters the Wood Release Ninjutsu with a very large range. Huang Tu cannot imagine how much role Mu Yue can play in a large-scale war now.

"Indeed." Lieshi nodded.

Previously, Reishi was determined to make further achievements and become a high-ranking member of Iwagakure. However, ever since he was severely injured and nearly died by Jiraiya last time, he has been less interested in making progress.

Now Lieshi feels that it is more important to stay alive. After all, even if he is not a high-ranking official, he is still considered successful and famous.

After deciding to retreat, Rishiji contacted the Iwagakure Village to ask for instructions from the Tsuchikage.

Retreating to the western border of the Land of Grass is something they can decide on their own, but whether to withdraw from the Land of Grass or continue to attack the border of the Land of Fire is something that only the Tsuchikage and Iwagakure high-level officials can decide.

After receiving the intelligence from the front line, Ohnoki in the Land of Earth quickly began to check the contents.

After reading half of it, Ohnoki put the information down and checked it again and again before confirming that it was important urgent information sent from the front line, not a draft of a ninja novel.

"Hanyu Mugetsu has mastered the Wood Release, which can create a forest in an instant. The mysterious man in black robes broke into the battlefield and attacked the Konoha troops, and was able to release Susanoo with a height of more than 80 meters..."

Ohnoki crossed his fingers and placed his elbows on the desk with an expression of surprise, confusion, and worry.

Due to a special experience, he was familiar with the ability of Susanoo and knew that it was the ability of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

If Susanoo attacks Konoha's army, doesn't that mean the Uchiha ninja is attacking Konoha? Is this another coup d'état by the Uchiha clan?
The coup should not be launched against outside troops, nor should it be launched against high-level officials.

Oonoki analyzed for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on in Konoha.

"But what exactly is going on with this Hanyu Muyue? He has actually mastered Wood Release and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds."

Ohnoki didn't dwell on why the black-robed Uchiha attacked Mu Yue for too long. Now he wanted to know what kind of person Mu Yue was.

Although Mu Yue was also outstanding beyond ordinary people in the past, he was still within common sense, and Oonoki could regard him as another Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This time it was different. Mu Yue not only became stronger, but also displayed extremely powerful Wood Release.

Even the mysterious man in black robe, who Huangtu believed could easily destroy a ninja army of a thousand people, might be defeated by Mu Yue.

"Is Konoha going to produce another Senju Hashirama?" Oonoki's face turned very ugly.

He would rather Konoha have two more Sarutobi Hiruzen than another Senju Hashirama.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is very strong, but Oonoki feels that he can definitely kill Sarutobi Hiruzen with a team of elite soldiers.

If the opponent was changed to Hashirama Senju, then Ōnoki could only say that someone would die, but it would definitely not be Hashirama Senju.

Ohnoki never fought Hashirama Senju, but he fought Uchiha Madara, who was defeated by Hashirama Senju. At that time, Ohnoki was still very young, and went to Konoha with his teacher, the Second Tsuchikage, to discuss the alliance, but was beaten up by Uchiha Madara.

Ohnoki still remembers that battle. He and his teacher were no match for Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara maintained a contemptuous expression throughout the whole battle and didn't even look at them straight in the eye.

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama have become qualitatively stronger. In front of such strong men, numbers lose their meaning.

For them, destroying a ninja army of a thousand people is just a matter of using a few ninjutsu with all their strength.

"Reply to Lishi and ask them to temporarily station at the western border." After thinking for a while, Ohnoki called the Iwagakure Anbu and gave the order.

"Also, have him send out a team to conduct reconnaissance and determine Hanyu Muyue's condition, whether he is dead or alive, in good condition or seriously injured."

If Hanyu Muyue is seriously injured, then Ohnoki is willing to use the Iwagakure troops of the Land of Grass in exchange for Muyue's life.

If Konoha produces another Hashirama Senju, the threat to Iwagakure will be more than just a force of two thousand ninjas.

The reason why the ninja world was peaceful and without war for a long time during the period when Hashirama Senju was Hokage was because Hashirama Senju wanted peace.

Given a choice, Oonoki didn't want to gamble on Mu Yue's character. Ninjas like Hashirama Senju were too rare.

"Also, mobilize the spies of the Fire Country. I need the latest situation of the Konoha battle and the situation within Konoha Village." Oonoki continued.

He still wanted to know if there was any problem with the Uchiha clan.

If Konoha was in civil strife at this time, he might be able to use Mu Yue's information to unite with other ninja villages to besiege Konoha.

There is a big difference between an attack by each of them working on their own and a truly joint attack.

Now they are also attacking Konoha, but this does not mean that they are allies. On the contrary, Kumogakure and Iwagakure are also at war.

If given the chance, Ōnoki would not hesitate to give Kumogakure a ruthless blow.

It’s different if you sign an alliance and attack together. You don’t have to worry about being ambushed by someone when attacking.

Ohnoki felt that the other major ninja villages would not want a second Hashirama Senju to appear in Konoha.

Without Hashirama Senju, they could still be considered forces of the same level. With Hashirama Senju, the actual strength of Konoha is that of a super large ninja village, not a large ninja village.

……

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

"Sir Sandaime, this is the information just received from the battlefield in the Land of Grass." The Anbu reported.

Hearing that it was the battlefield of the Land of Grass, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly.

He felt that this was most likely good news, because Mu Yue had recently gone to the battlefield in the Land of Grass to support Jiraiya.

After seeing the specific content of the intelligence, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became shocked and then turned serious.

Strictly speaking, this was good news, but not the kind of good news he had imagined.

dong dong.

"Uchiha Madara..." Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and tapped the wooden desk rhythmically with his fingers.

The last words and clues left by Danzo Shimura made him feel that Uchiha Madara might have left behind an heir.

However, according to information from the Land of Grass, the Uchiha ninja killed by Mu Yue was not the heir, but was suspected to be Uchiha Madara himself.

So, could the "Uchiha Madara" who caused trouble in the death of Shimura Danzo be the same person as the Uchiha Madara killed by Mu Yue?

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was very likely the same person.

Since Uchiha Madara would attack Shimura Danzo, it is only normal for him to attack Mu Yue.

The current Mu Yue can truly be called "the future of Konoha". If Mu Yue were to sacrifice, it would be an enormous loss for the entire Konoha.

As for whether the ninja killed by Mu Yue was the real Uchiha Madara, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no way of judging.

Unlike Jiraiya who had only heard about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen even saw with his own eyes the tragic scene in the Valley of the End shortly after the battle ended.

Logically speaking, Uchiha Madara should not be alive.

But this is the reality, and coupled with Uchiha Madara's former strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen now feels more and more that Senju Hashirama may have failed and did not really kill Uchiha Madara.

"It would be nice to be at the battle scene."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Uchiha Madara's chakra. If he was at the scene, he would definitely be able to recognize the other party's identity.

"Tell Jiraiya not to act rashly for the time being and send a reconnaissance team to observe the reaction of the Iwagakure troops." Sarutobi Hiruzen called on the Anbu and gave the order.

He really wanted to see Uchiha Madara's body with his own eyes, but now was not a good time.

It was not safe to ask other ninjas to send the body back to Konoha, and Jiraiya and Mu Yue were temporarily unable to get away.

If Jiraiya is transferred away, Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried that something might happen to Mu Yue. If Mu Yue is transferred away, something might happen to the border defense line.

Due to Uchiha Madara's surprise attack, it is very likely that Iwagakure has already learned about Mu Yue's strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to know what choice Iwagakure would make. If Iwagakure retreated, then he would transfer Mu Yue back.

If Iwagakure increases its troops and continues the war, Sarutobi Hiruzen will personally lead the troops to support Mu Yue and try to defeat Iwagakure in one go.

Now they have a large number of Kirigakure prisoners in their hands, and the Kirigakure Village will most likely agree to sign a peace treaty.

If Konoha is only facing the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village at the same time, it is not very weak now.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the ninja world suddenly became a little weird.

The Kirigakure in the southeastern battlefield of the Land of Fire were defeated and captured, and the Iwagakure troops in the battlefield of the Land of Grass retreated to the border of the Land of Earth.

Konoha, which was originally raging with war, suddenly became quiet. Only the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Hot Springs was still fighting a fierce battle with the ninja troops led by Orochimaru.

This made the Sand Village, which was eager to watch the show, a little confused. Why did they suddenly stop fighting?

Because Mu Yue resolved the southeast battlefield too quickly, not only did the other ninja villages not know about it, the Hidden Mist Village only found out that Karutagi Yagura had been defeated and captured when Konoha came to negotiate peace.

The Third Mizukage was extremely speechless. He originally wanted to use the Land of Waves as a hub to prepare reinforcements of a thousand ninja troops for Karatachi Yagura. However, before the reinforcements arrived, Karatachi Yagura disappeared without a sound.

The Third Mizukage didn't even know why Karutagi Yagura was defeated, even though he had defeated the ninja troops led by the Konoha high-level officials before.

Even though the Third Mizukage regarded Yagura Karuta as his successor, he was very dissatisfied with Yagura Karuta this time.

Although Karutagi Yagura was defeated in the last battle, his losses were not particularly great. Apart from the few members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, there was only one Jinchūriki who was unable to control the tailed beasts well.

This time, most of the ninja troops, including Karatachi Yagura himself, were captured. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire army was wiped out.

"What do you think about the peace talks proposed by Konoha?" asked the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure, looking at the top leaders of Kirigakure.

The Kirigakure leaders looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a moment. Even the Master Yuan seemed to be in deep thought.

There's no way around it, this peace treaty is really a hot potato.

If they agree, not only will Kirigakure not be able to take revenge, but they will also have to pay compensation to Konoha, which is very embarrassing.

If we refuse, there are thousands of Kirigakure prisoners in Konoha.

These thousands of ninjas basically cover the entire network of relationships in the Hidden Mist Village. If they refuse to negotiate and Konoha becomes desperate and kills all the prisoners, even if a major civil war does not break out in the Hidden Mist Village, it will be in chaos for a while.

Even without mentioning other things, these one thousand ninjas themselves are a strong force.

The Third Mizukage was a little dissatisfied, and just when he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.

"Come in." The Third Mizukage said calmly.

The Kirigakure Anbu walked into the meeting room, quickly came to the side of the Third Mizukage, and whispered in his ear: "Sandaime-sama, the Iwagakure sent by Ōnoki has arrived in our village."

"Iwagakure?" The Third Mizukage felt a little strange.

Although Kirigakure and Iwagakure are not at war now, the relationship between the two villages is not good.
