Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 64: Full of Flags

After crossing the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of the Moon, the Konoha Kage-level team took two days to reach the border of the Land of Lightning and stopped under a hidden cliff.

"Everyone, take a break. Ashikaga, please keep watch with your Byakugan. If there are any ninjas nearby, you can capture them and torture them for information."

Hinata Ashikaga nodded, his eyes turned bluish-white, veins bulged around his eyes, black marks appeared in his pupils, and he stood there looking around.

The byakuya, which has been developed to an extremely high level, is enough to clearly see every blade of grass and every tree within a radius of eight kilometers.

With Hyuga Ashikaga there, Ino, Shika, and Chou were sitting on the side to rest, while Inuzuka Hajime was feeding his beloved dog who was sticking out his tongue. After two days of high-intensity marching, even the human-level Kages felt tired.

Uchiha Setsuna formed seals with his hands, then slapped the ground to summon a ninja cat. He gave the cat the current information, patted its head, and asked the ninja cat to go back and deliver the message.

Then he took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai and stuck it into the ground.

"Hokage-sama will be here soon, so you can all get some rest."

"I saw the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Second Generation. It was really difficult to learn."

Nara Shikamei, who is the right-hand man of Senju Tobirama, looked at the Flying Thunder God Kunai with sincere emotion, while also wanting to get closer to him.

"The talent of the Sandaime is truly amazing. He is expected to become the new generation of Ninja God in the future."

Faced with the compliments of the former chief military advisor to Uchiha Wuan, Uchiha Setsuna was naturally very pleased and said proudly, "Of course, the young master of my clan has the appearance of a Shura."

"And after this matter is settled, it will be almost time for our clan's young master to hold his wedding. Everyone remember to come and attend."

"The Sandaime's wedding is a big event for Konoha, how could we not come?"

Inuzuka Ren laughed at the side, and the huge black and white wolfhound beside him also barked a few times.

"No one will leave until they are drunk."

Nara Shikamei said jokingly, "Captain Setsuna, don't try to escape by claiming that the Hokage-sama is drunk like you did last time."

"What a joke! I would run away? I, Uchiha Setsuna, have never been afraid since I was born!"

Uchiha Setsuna stiffened his neck, patted his chest and said, "After attending the young master's wedding, we will hold a second one, and everyone can pull out the donkeys and horses for a walk."

The atmosphere among the group was very relaxed and no one felt much pressure about this mission.

Before coming, everyone knew the current intelligence of the Land of Lightning. They were Kinkaku and Ginkaku from Nanyun Village, and a Two-tailed Jinchuriki; and Kitaku Village was led by the Sandaime Ai with two Kage-level warriors and the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki.

The seals of the Jinchūriki of the Land of Lightning are not perfect, they are like time bombs. If a fierce battle occurs, the tailed beasts may escape.

Given the tailed beasts' resentment towards humans for imprisoning them, all humans present are enemies. Once the two Chūriki join the battle, they will cause trouble for the Land of Lightning.

Therefore, there are two strong shadows in Nanyun Village and one strong shadow in Beiyun Village. Both of them are shadow-level, but they are no longer as powerful as they used to be.

Not to mention that Kinkaku had been severely injured by the Third Hokage Ai, and it is unknown whether Nanyun Village still exists.

Therefore, in the eyes of Uchiha Setsuna and the other six, the biggest difficulty of this mission is getting there.

Now that they have arrived in the Land of Lightning, they don't think there is any force that can withstand an attack from the six of them, unless the two ninja villages in the north and south merge into the original Cloud Village, but how is that possible?

Together with the Sandaime Hokage who is about to arrive, there will be a total of seven Hokage-level figures. We can just crush our way through this divided land.

"We found two teams of Lightning Country ninjas. One team is chasing them, and the other is escaping."

While chatting, Hyuga Ashikaga suddenly spoke, and Uchiha Setsuna was thinking, and decided to leave Inuzuka Hajime, who had the ability to search and guard, to wait for Uchiha Takean, and the other five went to capture people. Soon, the five people captured the ninjas of the two teams of the Land of Lightning alive, and through the secret torture of Yamanaka Mangosteen, they concluded that Kinkaku and Ginkaku of Nanyun Village had abandoned the village and fled, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki lost control, and the Two-Tails regained freedom.

The current Kitakumo Village has resumed the name of the Hidden Cloud Village and is hunting down the rebellious ninjas who followed Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

"Golden Horn and Silver Horn are running towards Yunlei Gorge. The other side of Yunlei Gorge is the coastline. It looks like they are relying on their deep chakra and the sea to escape from the pursuit."

Nara Luming began to analyze and organize the information from the vast amount of information.

"After the Third-generation Ai of the Hidden Cloud Village sealed the Two-Tails by stealing the Six Paths Noble Phantasms of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, he also chased Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and at the same time used ninjas to move supplies back to the former headquarters of the Hidden Cloud Village, Kumolei Gorge."

"Our mission is to disintegrate the resistance of the Land of Lightning and recover the tailed beasts. Yunlei Gorge is a location that must be explored. If there is a chance, we may be able to control the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. If the treasure that seals the Two-Tails is also being transported to Yunlei Gorge, and the Sandaime Ai is hunting down Kinkaku and Ginkaku, we may be able to do a lot."

"Chief Luming means to rush to Yunlei Gorge immediately?"

Uchiha Setsuna asked after listening.

"Captain Setsuna will make the final decision."

Nara Shikamei understood his own status, but had no intention of coming out to give orders. However, the previous analysis also implied that speed was of the essence in war.

The rest of the people had interested looks on their faces.

At the previous mobilization meeting, Uchiha Wuan had hinted that the more contributions one made to the Lightning Country's cake, the bigger the share one would get.

"I'll use the Ninja Cat to notify Inuzuka Blade and ask him to continue waiting. We'll go to Yunlei Gorge to find out the information first."

Uchiha Setsuna, who had experienced the Warring States Period and knew that opportunities were rare, looked at his own team's combat power and did not think that anything would go wrong. He waved his hand, summoned the ninja cat, gave clear instructions, and rushed to Yunlei Gorge.

………………

"It's so noisy and annoying!"

A pair of giant hands made of blue chakra grabbed the tailed beasts, Kin-Horn and Gin-Horn, as if they were pinching a chick.

They looked in disbelief at the towering figure that rose from the ground and surpassed the mountains. It was like a huge giant who had descended from the earth like a war god. Just as they were about to say something, they were crushed into two pieces of mosaics.

"Ai!"

"Madara-sama!"

The Sandaime Ai knelt on one knee on the ground, sweat dripping down his face. "I am extremely sorry for disturbing Madara-sama's rest. Ai will let Madara-sama deal with me!"

"Immediately arrange for someone to come and clean it up. There won't be a next time."

"Madara-sama, Ai understands."

Uchiha Madara retracted Susanoo, wearing red armor and a flaming fan on his back, glanced at the Yunlei Gorge that had been bombed by the Tailed Beast Ball, snorted coldly, and returned to the underground space below.

Uchiha Madara looked at the dust all over the ground and the many instruments destroyed and researchers injured or killed by the fallen rocks, and his mood became increasingly bad.

He doesn't care about the war for unification between the North and the South, but whoever interferes with his experiment will die!
Suddenly, Uchiha Madara felt like he was being watched.

"This feeling is an eye roll!"

Uchiha Madara's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He turned around and disappeared on the spot.
