Konoha: This Uchiha is a bit too much.

Chapter 247 The Footsteps of War

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Konoha Village, the gathering place of ninjas.

Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara ran over happily. He glanced at the crowd around him and his eyes quickly lit up. Then he waved loudly and happily.

His actions attracted the attention of the surrounding ninjas, but soon no one cared about it anymore.

Everyone knows Naruto's team, their strength is recognized, and everyone actually likes them.

What's more touching is that they seemed to have met their classmates. Although this situation is not uncommon, it was indeed not often that everyone got together during the three-year war.

Therefore, most of the ninjas responded with a smile and did not disturb them.

"Naruto, long time no see."

When Choji saw Naruto and the others coming, the fat boy smiled and waved.

"Too bad there are no more chips for you. We have to leave soon."

"Tsk, who wants your potato chips?"

Naruto smiled and put his arm around Choji's neck, then smiled.

"I heard that you all became jonin, congratulations!"

"What a hassle. It's no big deal for a jonin."

When Shikamaru heard this, he couldn't help but complain, but he deliberately restrained his voice when speaking, because he didn't want to become the target of everyone's criticism.

Becoming a jonin may not be that difficult for them, but for many ninjas it is something they will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

"Sasuke, long time no see."

Naruto, Shikamaru and Choji were chatting idly, while Ino ran to Sasuke with a smile, which made Sasuke somewhat embarrassed.

Sasuke is very handsome, and at the age of sixteen he is very powerful, which makes the girls who are already eager to make a move even more excited.

In the past, no one expressed their opinions. On the one hand, Sasuke only played with Naruto and the others, and Sasuke’s father was the Hokage, so no one dared to act rashly.

But it’s different now. Even though I haven’t met those crazy boys, those affectionate eyes are still hard to bear.

"Long time no see, Ino."

Sasuke forced a smile, then leaned behind Gaara calmly, which made Gaara silent.

He didn't envy Sasuke's popularity, but he felt that the way Sasuke handled things seemed a little different from that of Hokage.

"You guys are here, why are you making so much noise?"

Just then, Neji, Rock Lee and Tenten came over. Looking at the noisy Naruto, he shook his head.

"We are about to set off. If you behave like this now, it will make us in Konoha look very unprofessional.

It would be bad if ninjas from other places laughed at us, and it would bring shame to the Hokage."

"Tsk, you are such a..."

Naruto glanced at Neji with some displeasure and pouted.

"We haven't met those guys yet. Besides, we haven't seen each other for so long. Why do we need to preach?"

"I'm just reminding you to remember not to behave like this when you encounter ninjas from other places."

Neji was somewhat meticulous, which made Naruto roll his eyes. He thought this guy was really annoying, even though he knew Neji was right.

They have carried out joint operations countless times, and after other villages were captured, the original names of the villages were basically cancelled.

Everyone refers to it as Konoha, but because it is not in the Land of Fire, everyone still uses the 'place' or the original name of the village.

Konoha has not yet enforced this because some things need to be done step by step, and war is the best way.

This time, all ninjas will be called the Ninja Army, and the forehead protectors will all be changed to the word "Ninja", and this deployment will continue in the future.

This will further erase the "Ninja Village" in everyone's memory and replace it with the Ninja World.

"Okay, father doesn't have so many mandatory requirements. Besides, we haven't set out yet, so don't worry."

When Sasuke saw Neji like this, he knew that this guy was doing this for his father's reputation, but he knew his father too well, so he simply spoke up to help.

"Besides, if you really want to follow father's wishes, you don't need to worry about the location. After all, we are all from the ninja world."

"Ningji, don't take it so seriously."

Tenten and Rock Lee also nodded, which made Neji purse his lips. He could still say a few words to others.

But he was helpless once Sasuke spoke, and besides, Rock Lee and Tenten were his good teammates, so he would naturally listen.

"Okay, my problem is, I just"

"You just hope not to embarrass Hokage-sama. We all know that, Neji."

Just as Neji opened his mouth, another voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw Shino, Kiba and Hinata also walking over.

The one who spoke was obviously Kiba, he smiled nonchalantly, while Hinata ran to Neji's side and whispered.

"Ningji-nii, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Hinata."

When Neji saw Hinata, his tense expression immediately relaxed, and then he reached out and rubbed Hinata's head.

Now he is a typical sister-con.

"Why are you here too? It's so dangerous. Really. Remember to follow me when the time comes."

"Hey, Neji, you look down on us too much. We can also protect Hinata."

Kiba rolled his eyes upon hearing this, he spoke without saying anything, while Shino beside him nodded.

"That's right, Neji is too proud."

Naruto immediately fanned the flames, he was a guy who was not afraid of trouble.

As expected, Neji couldn't hold it in anymore and started arguing with Naruto, and for a while their place became very lively.

But soon, the noise turned into laughter. Even though everyone was from the same period, they had a good relationship with each other, so making a few jokes was harmless.

"Come to think of it, it seems we don't have a jonin leading the team this time."

After a quarrel, Naruto looked around and suddenly spoke, while Sasuke beside him could no longer hold back.

"Idiot, we are all jonin ourselves, it's good enough that you didn't separate us, can you use your brains!"

"That's right, damn it, why was I not as good as this idiot in exams when I was in school?"

Ya pursed his lips and Shikamaru shrugged.

"Maybe you're not good at memorizing."

"Tsk, I'm just waiting for our leading jonin to do something."

Naruto was also stubborn, but soon his eyes showed excitement.

"But it's good this way, we can get closer then, and we can even have a competition!"

"Let's see who can kill more enemies?"

Kiba became interested and asked in a low voice. Neji also raised his eyebrows slightly, and Xiao Li showed an excited look.

Only Shikamaru looked a little uninterested, and he didn't seem to find this interesting.

woo-

But just when he was about to say something, a low horn sounded suddenly, which meant that they were about to set out to the front line -
"It's finally here, and I don't know what I'll encounter this time."

On the sea, countless ships were heading towards the port of the Wind Country. Kisame stood on the boat and looked at the coastline that was gradually becoming clear in the distance. He couldn't help but smile and speak.

"It won't be an easy life anyway. You might die here."

Behind him, Zabuza couldn't help but complain when he heard this.

"Same to you. Anyway, I feel like I will die later than you."

Kisame didn't take this guy's words to heart. After all, as ninjas, they already knew that they might die in the next second.

Even though they are now high-ranking officials in the village, this will not change their minds.

Kirigakure is the place that has been most thoroughly changed by Konoha, and it is also Konoha's most steadfast ally.

No one can tell for sure whether Bie Tianshen is ineffective or not, but at least Yuanshi's performance has always been satisfactory.

And with the introduction of Konoha's ideology, everyone has accepted it, and they agree with Konoha's ideas from the bottom of their hearts.

It is also a heartfelt support. They are all the same people. The previous struggles were nothing more than disputes over interests and the choices of the village.

Now that everyone is integrated and everyone's life has become better, how could they possibly object?
What's more, now they basically don't mention the 'Hidden Mist Village' and the 'Water Country' anymore. They basically just say that this is the eastern island of the Ninja Continent, or the Water Province.

And the way they called it is most consistent with what Yuori thinks.

According to Yuori's plan, the Fire Country will no longer exist in the future, and will gradually transition to being renamed the Fire Province, and other places will also change in the same way.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two, what's the point of saying this all day long?"

Just as the two were talking, Mangetsu Hozuki came out with his younger brother Suigetsu Hozuki.

Man Yue glanced at the two guys and spoke unhappily.

"Besides, I want to be the head ninja or the governor, so please don't disgust me."

"Are you dreaming?"

Zabuza couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Man Yue's words.

"Not to mention that the Shinobi leader or the governor may be parachuted in from other places by then, if you want to stay in the Water Province, you can only take on other management positions.

Even if you can stay in the Water Province, the person you are competing with is that woman, Mei Terumi. Can you compete with her?"

"Damn it, you look down on me, don't you?"

Man Yue suddenly couldn't hold it anymore. He stretched his neck and looked at Zabuza, but he didn't expect that Kisame beside him also nodded.

"It's not that I look down on you, but you really don't stand a chance against her. After all, she is the Mizukage, not the one our current ninja leaders value."

"And she's a woman."

Zabuza continued to finish off the opponent, looking at Man Yue with a smirk on his face and continued.

"I don't have a boyfriend yet, and that Hokage only has one wife.

You are from a big family, you should know this kind of patriarch, this kind of powerful person.

Having more wives and more offspring is what your big family desires the most, so."

"Assholes, if you two don't talk, no one will think you are dumb!"

Man Yue couldn't hold it anymore. Why didn't these two bastards speak like human beings?

Although their relationship used to be not very good, as they followed Master Yuan, their relationship was eased and became better and better.

Now they are considered to be holding great power. After all, they are considered to have "invested in original shares". As their status becomes higher and higher, they are gradually widening the gap with other ninjas.

Instead, they communicated more and had better relationships, since there were only a few people talking.

"What are you talking about? We're almost landing, and you're still making a fuss here?"

Just as the three of them were arguing happily and Suigetsu was watching the fun with a look of excitement, Mei Terumi suddenly walked out from behind.

Looking at the three noisy people, she frowned and spoke.

"cut"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Kisame and the other two fell silent, and Man Yue even pursed her lips and said something in a low voice.

"Tomboy, no wonder you can't find a man."

"What did you say?"

Mei Terumi suddenly looked at Man Yue and then smiled sweetly.

"I didn't hear you clearly, could you please say it again?"

"No time, I have to prepare for landing."

Man Yue shuddered. He didn't bother to pay attention to this woman. It would be difficult to deal with this woman when she went crazy.

"Speaking of which, where should I lead those teams and reunite with Konoha?"

"We were in a meeting, but you didn't listen at all. How on earth do you do anything?"

Mei Terumi raised her eyebrows, and her sweet smile disappeared instantly, turning stern immediately.

This speed of changing expressions really made people look at each other in confusion, but the three of them really didn't dare to say a word.

Fortunately, at this moment a heavy horn sounded suddenly, which diverted their attention.

Because they knew that they had now arrived at the battlefield.

"What kind of people do you think we will meet this time?"

Suddenly, Man Yue turned around and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Like, those guys with the ninja swords earlier?"

"If it was them, I'd probably be excited."

Zabuza stopped talking nonsense now, and his expression became stern.

"I will let them know that I am the most suitable person to hold these ninja swords. I will let them know that they should have been eliminated by history long ago!"

"What a confident guy! Believe it or not, when you fight, I will collect all your ninja swords."

Man Yue laughed strangely. As the elite of the Kizuki clan, he might become the clan leader if nothing unexpected happens. He has mastered the method of controlling the seven ninja swords.

"Instead of thinking about recalling the ninja sword to disgust us, you should think about yourself."

Kisame sneered at the side, his shark face looking a little ferocious.

"For example, what if the other side summons your ancestors, such as your father, or the Second Mizukage.

When the time comes, will you take action or kowtow to them first? "Man Yue's face changed when he heard Kisame's words, and he suddenly thought of this fact.

Those people on the opposite side will really use the Impure World Reincarnation to do all kinds of things. Even if they have been well protected, God knows if there will be any accidents.

Then, it will be really hard to deal with.——
"Are you ready?"

"As long as your materials are good, then I think there will be no problem."

In the basement on the edge of the Wind Country, Orochimaru licked his lips and smiled as he looked at Madara.

However, his attention was more focused on the man covered in a black robe behind Madara. This person who appeared out of nowhere was the most worthy of attention.

"There won't be any problem with the materials I give you. I got them all from the Godaime Hokage, so don't worry."

Madara crossed his arms over his chest, not paying any attention to Orochimaru's gaze as he continued.

Orochimaru blinked. He wanted to remind them that not all the people here were his own, but Nagato spoke up instead.

"Let's do it. It's a good opportunity to see what good stuff there is."

"In that case, then fine."

Orochimaru nodded, and he formed seals with his hands, and chakra surged instantly.

"The art of reincarnation from dirty soil!"

Suddenly, coffins appeared behind him one after another, and human figures walked out of them, with light and consciousness beginning to appear in their pupils.

"Well, where is this? Didn't I die as I remember?"

The first person to come out was a man with yellow hair and a mustache. He looked around in confusion and asked curiously.

But the moment he saw Madara, he was suddenly stunned, and then pointed at Uchiha Madara in horror.

"Impossible, weren't you killed by Senju Hashirama a long time ago?
What the hell is this place, me?"

"Yes, you are dead."

Madara didn't even bother to answer, and behind him, a guy wrapped in bandages like a mummy walked out.

"I killed you, have you forgotten? You are such a poor bastard who died early."

"you"

The man with a mustache immediately turned his head around, and when he saw the mummy in front of him, he immediately became angry.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It was me who tore your mummy apart, you damn zombie!"

This guy with a mustache is obviously the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu. He was indeed killed by the Second Tsuchikage Mu before he died.

These two people are old enemies, so it is natural that there will be no easing of tension when they meet.

However, Hozuki Gengetsu did not let his reason be overwhelmed by this anger, and his gaze would still look towards Uchiha Madara from time to time.

This guy is the most terrifying, the most terrible!

He didn't know why he woke up, nor did he know why Uchiha Madara was here, but he was somewhat worried.

After all, absolutely nothing is easy when it comes to this guy.

"And I'm still clearly being controlled, that feeling."

Hozuki Gengetsu felt somewhat uneasy, and he found that there were quite a few people here besides Uchiha Madara.

Some of them could even be considered his 'old acquaintances', such as the first and second generation Tsuchikage, the first, second and even third generation Kazekage and so on.

It can be said that except for the Hokage and the Raikage, he had seen all the other Kages, and besides himself, he also saw many people walking out of the coffins.

Among them are the first Mizukage, Byakuren, and the younger generation with his eyes closed. Has he become the third Mizukage?
In addition, there were many ninjas wearing Kirigakure forehead protectors who appeared. This scene made him frown. Is this a reunion of all the dead people from Kirigakure?

"Okay, now the work is done, I leave it to you."

Orochimaru licked his tongue. No matter how many times he saw this situation, he would feel excited.

But he also knew that it was better to give the stage to Uchiha Madara. There was really no need for him to steal the show.

"I think you all know each other, and you all know me, so I won't introduce you."

Madara took a step forward. He was still as arrogant as ever, and that had never changed.

“The reason why you are summoned this time is because there is a brat named Uchiha Yuori in Konoha, who, as the Fifth Hokage, almost swallowed up the entire Ninja World.

This situation is obviously not in our interest. I think that although you dead ghosts are all useless, you are still willing to do something for your village."

Madara's words were not polite at all, but no matter how angry the people present were, they dared not say a word, because this was Uchiha Madara!
Everyone present had either been beaten by him or had seen him beat others, and no one dared to really provoke this guy.

However, they were somewhat confused in their hearts. Who exactly is Uchiha Yuori?
Why would this Uchiha brat whose name had never been heard of allow Uchiha Madara to summon them all?

Also, that brat annexed the entire ninja world?

Doesn’t that mean that you’ll lose your home?

"It's incredible that a little Uchiha kid can bring disaster to the entire ninja world like this."

After a while, the Shogakage Byakuren snorted coldly.

"Also, what is going on with us now? I'm very curious about your purpose. Why would you want to find us when you are so powerful? Can't you just deal with it yourself?"

"A friendly reminder: don't talk to me in that tone."

Madara glanced at Byakuren before continuing to speak indifferently.

"As for my decision, it is not something you can understand. That kid is now as strong as me, and he also controls more than 90% of the resources in the entire ninja world.

I can deal with him, but no one else can deal with his men, so I need some people who can deal with his men, those ninjas, that's all.

As for my purpose, this world is very small, not even big enough for me to deal with alone. I don't want to see a guy who is not weaker than me appear to compete with me for the domination of this world!"

Madara actually didn't want to waste too much time talking to them, but he still had some things he needed to say at the moment, and he didn't care what the final outcome would be.

Anyway, if we express our attitudes and let them do the work on their own, the effect will be better, and they will naturally become stronger if they can give full play to their subjective initiative.

Of course, if he can't do that, he will let Orochimaru take control. Even if the performance is not as expected, he won't care too much.

"Think about it carefully. You guys don't have much time left."

Madara turned around and glanced at everyone present from the corner of his eyes.

“Also, quite a few people from your respective villages have chosen to surrender, and almost all those who are willing to resist are here.

Whether to give them hope or not, whether to rebuild your village or not, the decision is entirely in your hands, so think carefully about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Madara left without looking back, and the man in black following him also walked away, leaving behind only a group of people with extremely ugly faces.

"Brother, what kind of person is this Uchiha Yuzhi? Can you tell me now?"

When they left, the Impure World Reincarnations in the basement immediately went to ask about Yuori and the situation in the ninja world. Coincidentally, the man in black behind Madara was also curious about Yuori.

He gently took off the hood on his head and revealed his face. He was Uchiha Izuna!

"Didn't I tell you that he is a foul-mouthed kid, but he is also the most talented and promising kid after me."

Madara looked at Izuna behind him in confusion. He didn't know why Izuna was so curious about Yuori, and he had already told her many things.

"No, what I want to know is how he dealt with the Uchiha, not how strong he is as a ninja or as a Hokage."

Izuna shook his head, looked at Madara seriously and spoke.

"How the family is doing now, or how it is doing under his leadership, these are what I am most curious about."

"Instead of thinking about this, you should think about the enemy we are facing, and it would be better for you to think about whether you want to stay or not."

Madara pursed his lips and whispered, but what he didn't expect was that Izuna laughed.

“Of course I will think about these issues carefully, but I still want to understand the family’s situation first.

Actually, you don’t need to ask too much, brother, because I have already made decisions about some things.”

"Oh?"

Madara was a little surprised, but soon understood what Izuna meant. Izuna raised his head and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

"After all, I heard from my eldest brother that the guy has woken up. This time I have to ask for his advice!"
-
"Hurry up, I don't have time to waste with you."

"You bastards will get your comeuppance sooner or later"

In a lush forest in the Land of Wind, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju were escorting a group of Jinchūriki, as well as Rasa, Ōnoki, and the Fourth Raikage towards a border location.

All of their faces looked very ugly. After all, except for the three Kage, those Jinchūriki had been imprisoned since they were defeated in the Chunin Exams, and had not seen the light of day until today.

Even if Konoha did not torture them but only sealed their chakra, it was still unimaginable torture for them.

Although Rasa, Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage were better off, as they were Kages after all, their treatment was slightly better, but their mental torture over the years has only been greater.

Because Yuori deliberately took them out when their village was captured, and then made them watch their village being breached with their own eyes!

No matter who it is, it is unbearable to feel this way. The fact that they did not go crazy was a testament to their strong will.

Now everyone has been released and sent to the front line. They don't understand what Konoha is trying to do, but their hearts are filled with hatred.

They will never forget such humiliation, the humiliation of witnessing the destruction of their country and their families!

"Shut up, no one cares what you say."

Senju Tobirama frowned. He was really annoyed with these guys. They had no abilities but they were so stubborn.

"If you could have done something, you would have done it long ago. How could you be captured by us? If I were you, I would have died in prison long ago.

Oh, sorry, I forgot, it's pathetic that you can't even die."

"The door room."

Hashirama pursed his lips awkwardly. He always felt that Tobirama's words were so similar to that guy Madara.
However, he had no intention of refutation. After all, they were enemies, and it was they who took the initiative to invade Konoha. He was lucky not to die.

Although for them, life is probably worse than death.
Their mission this time is to escort these guys to the front line, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to use these people as temptation.

Yuori said that the Otsutsuki would be interested in the tailed beasts and would definitely attack them, so they needed to give it a try no matter what.

"You are just a bunch of robbers. You only know how to rob others."

Ōnoki roared in a low voice, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart, but Tobirama would not tolerate him.

He tilted his head slightly, and powerful chakra swept out instantly, knocking Ohnoki to the ground!

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

"Old Man"

Han and Lao Zi's faces changed instantly. They couldn't help but shout loudly, but they themselves couldn't move at all. They just watched angrily.

"Have you said enough?"

Tobirama looked at everyone present with disdain, and spoke calmly in response to their angry gazes.

"Let's make one thing clear. Where were you captured? You were in the Land of Fire, around Konoha!
It was you who took the initiative to attack Konoha, it was you who caused a series of incidents, and it was you who caused this result.

Now you want to shift the blame to us. Who gave you the courage to do this? Who gave you the face to think like this?
Sure enough, Yuzhi, that little bastard, was right when he said, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish; when people are too mean, they will be invincible." You guys really have some confidence that you are invincible. "

Senju Tobirama's words made everyone present blush. They felt ashamed to be mocked in such a way, but they really couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

It was indeed them who initiated the attack, it was indeed them who caused the trouble, it was indeed them who did all this, but.
"Besides, you think we shouldn't attack your village?"

Tobirama seemed to know what they were thinking, and he still spoke with disdain and coldness.

"Don't be ridiculous. You are nothing to Konoha. Even asking you to pay compensation would hardly satisfy our current appetite.

In that case, your village and land can only be regarded as compensation. Also, I have a question for you now.

Do you think that the people in Konoha live better under our rule, or do they live better under your rule?"

Another sharp question, another question that left them at a loss as to how to answer.

"Look around you, a bunch of idiots."

Senju Tobirama continued firing at full force, taunting madly.

"This place used to be the Kingdom of Wind. Don't you know what the Kingdom of Wind is like?

This place was once barren, this place was once dilapidated, and there was rarely even an oasis.

But now, look at it now, it only took us three years to change everything here, three years!

Not only here, but also the former Kingdom of Earth and Kingdom of Thunder have been changed by us. Now the people live a prosperous life and have resources that they once could not believe.

They live and work in peace and contentment, and this is something you bunch of rubbish have never given them!

This is also the reason why those of you die-hard resistance ninjas have now fled to the borderland, to places where there are few people.

Those people are just as pathetic as you are, living under the illusion that they are doing the right thing, when in reality they are just a bunch of pathetic idiots."

The main purpose of Senju Tobirama's taunting was to cause real harm. His words deeply hurt the hearts of everyone present and made countless people turn pale.

Are we wrong?
Such thoughts began to consume them madly, and this feeling made them feel extremely painful.

"Okay Tobirama, stop talking."

At this moment, Hashirama couldn't stand it anymore and could only interrupt.

"We have our own things to do. Don't pay attention to them. There is no point."

"cut."

Tobirama was enjoying the scolding. He seemed to understand why Yuori and the others always liked to scold people.

It turned out that this kind of experience was so wonderful, but he still knew what was important and what was not, so he was too lazy to continue talking to these losers.

In particular, he suddenly felt a very subtle throbbing in his heart, as if someone was staring at him.

"It's such a weird and awful feeling, what is going on?"
-
Deep in the starry sky, a meteor streaked across the sky.

Soon, he stopped steadily on the outer edge of the azure planet, and a figure emerged and stared at the planet in front of him.

"I'm finally back."

The figure spoke indifferently, his voice full of anger and murderous intent, and the reflection of the halo passed across his face, revealing his features.

This guy is the Otsutsuki Urashiki who was killed by Yuori!
"This time, I will kill all of you, especially you, Uchiha Yuori!"
