I, Yu Uchiha, am devoted to cultivating immortality

In Uchiha Yu's eyes, Kaguya Ren was different from others. He determined that the ninja's tragic situation before his death was not caused by chakra exhaustion, but that the time attribute of his body was touched.

It is precisely because time has been accelerated to the point where the lifespan is about to end that the person looks like he is about to die of old age. This is a natural law and is not a sign of dying after extreme chakra extraction.

Of course, this is not the common sense in the ninja world. Normal people would not think so about things involving time, nor would perverts like Orochimaru think so. Even the person involved, Kaguya Ren, had not thought about this.

Only time travelers who know Kaguya Otsutsuki's ability can associate the power of time through the relationship between the corpse veins and the ashes of the common killer.

But even if only Uchiha Yuu thought of this, it would be difficult for him to get Kaguya Ren's body. This is the body of a shadow-level powerhouse and has a rare blood inheritance limit. His head can harvest information, and his body can conduct blood successor limit experiments. He is very valued in Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village, which attach great importance to blood successor limit research.

As long as Uchiha Yu sees the greed in the eyes of Orochimaru and the Third Raikage, he will know how difficult it is for him to intervene, but he really wants to intervene and get a piece of it.

He was able to get the bone relics from Kaguya Kanahara, so this more powerful Kaguya Ren should have better things, not to mention that he may have touched the ability to kill Ash Bones together before his death.

No matter what kind of power system, the power of time is the strongest ability, bar none.

So greedy.

But Uchiha Yu decided to give up rationally.

Miwa Masashi couldn't help but ask: "Why did you give up, nya? Didn't you do all the tricks under Orochimaru, nya?"

Uchiha Yuu replied helplessly: "That's due to luck. I took you into the wind with me, and there was indeed no trace. However, I couldn't fully integrate into the wind, so I could only hold on for one breath."

"Who would have thought that Orochimaru would do it cautiously for more than ten minutes? I almost couldn't hold on anymore."

"If the Ice Release Ninja Ling hadn't been so tight and transferred Orochimaru away, the two of us would have exposed our secrets in front of Orochimaru."

Miwa Masashi asked strangely: "If you reveal your secrets, you will reveal your secrets. You are not an enemy of Konoha, nya. How can Orochimaru still eat nya?"

Uchiha Yuu scratched his head and explained to Miwa Masashi: "That's not true, but Orochimaru is one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage that I have chosen to support. Before establishing a relatively stable alliance, I don't want him to I have doubts."

"Cold Orochimaru's reputation for being suspicious and cunning is not just a slander. If this guy has doubts about me before the alliance is confirmed, there will be trouble in the future."

Miwa Masayo suddenly became interested, and she asked curiously: "Yu, you said Orochimaru is one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage. Is there any other ninja who can compare with him? I don't think there is such a ninja in Konoha Village, nya." .”

"I also think that there is no ninja in Konoha Village who can compare with Orochimaru."

"Meow?" The raccoon cat looked at Uchiha Yuu with its big eyes, expressing her doubts without saying a word.

Uchiha Yuu smiled, waved his hand, and replied: "I'm not worried that Orochimaru will fall in the war."

"What I'm worried about is that Orochimaru fought too well and his reputation in the Leaf Village is too high. He will be treated the same as Hatake Sakumo."

"...He, he is the disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen! My dearest disciple, nya!"

"Orochimaru is indeed Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite disciple, a disciple who is willing to entrust his mantle. But Orochimaru threatened the power of the Third Hokage. In the eyes of the Third Hokage, this is an unforgivable mistake."

"The Third Hokage... isn't he Sarutobi Hiruzenya?"

"Yes, not quite."

"You humans are too complicated, meow. This kind of thing sounds like a headache, meow."

"Haha, okay."

Just as the two immortals were whispering, suddenly Orochimaru's name came out of Orochimaru's mouth, making him and her both excited.

It turns out that the Third Raikage and Orochimaru were fighting over Kaguya Ren's body. They skipped the stage of preaching about right and wrong in just a few words. The two of them competed with each other about the strength of their hands like they were playing cards.

The Third Raikage snorted coldly: "Orochimaru, are you being unreasonable?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said: "Be reasonable, I am talking about the greatest truth in the ninja world. I, Konoha, have the most jounin present today and have the biggest fists, so I deserve this body with the bone vein."

The Third Raikage narrowed his eyes and retorted: "I, Kumogakure, have Ai and Bi, and even the jounin of Konoha are just one at a time."

"Kumogakure has the AB group, and I, Konoha, also have the Ino-Shika-cho group. There is more than one group present."

"I have the Perfect Jinchuuriki Brübi. You have seen the power of the Eight-Tails. It only takes one tailed beast jade to kill all the Konoha ninjas."

"Haha, I have Yuu Uchiha and Neko Sennin in Konoha. This is a combination of immortals. The fire escape technique they use may not be as good as the Tailed Beast Jade, but it won't be a problem to destroy the Kumogakure ninja."

Suddenly, the eyes of Kumogakure ninja and Konoha ninja were focused on Uchiha Yuu, but more of them were focused on Miwa Masayo above him.

Uchiha Yu felt a little panicked when he saw it: I'm not, I don't, Orochimaru, don't tell the truth.

Miwa Masayo was also panicked, but fortunately she and Uchiha Yuu were very experienced in this. During the study meeting, they had practiced for a long time under the eyes of the Uchiha people, and they had already developed it.

Although the jounin and kage's gazes were more stressful, they responded flawlessly with their honed skills. The two immortals' eyes scanned everyone present and looked at their foreheads carefully.

As long as there is no direct eye contact, you will not be affected by the other person's gaze. This kind of indifferent gaze will put great pressure on the other person.

The unchanging indifferent eyes are like a mirror. The amount of pressure felt by the viewer depends entirely on the weight of one's thoughts.

Anyway, Uchiha Yu himself didn’t know.

The Third Raikage stared fiercely for a while, and then looked away after making sure that no one was frightened. He spat, "How are you going to deal with these fists?"

"Haha, the Third Raikage-sama, you are indeed very powerful, but do you really think you can conquer everything by yourself?"

Orochimaru's voice became stern: "My Konoha Village is not a small ninja village like Frost Hidden Village. Your personal power is not as strong as the first Hokage!"

Before he said this, he glanced back very vaguely with his eyes, and several Konoha Jonin who had been working with him for a long time immediately activated the teleportation technique and pounced on Kaguya Ren's body.

But the Kumogakure ninjas were not vegetarians, and they rushed forward almost at the same time.

Orochimaru's words were spoken during a fierce but short battle between the jonins on both sides. The coordination was perfect, which added to the persuasiveness several times.

When Orochimaru finished speaking, he and the Third Raikage looked at Kaguya Ren's body at the same time.

They saw a flame appear above the corpse, and then the flame suddenly expanded into a fireball. Miwa Masashi jumped out gracefully and landed steadily on the corpse.

Then Neko Sennin swung his claws in the air, activated the reverse channeling, and Uchiha Yuu appeared with a cloud of white smoke. He reached out unceremoniously to fish it out, grabbed the body in his hand, and then used the teleportation technique to hide. He opened the ninja swords of three Kumogakure jounin and returned to the Konoha ninja group.

Miwa Masayo even used the flame jump to return to the Konoha Jonin camp in advance. She used the time of her fall to wait until the shit shovel returned, and landed firmly on her favorite shoulder.

The Third Raikage clenched his fists again and stared at Uchiha Yuu. His eyes no longer had the slightest greed, but were full of murderous intent.

Obviously the Third Raikage already knew that Kaguya Ren's body could not be recovered, and he was considering whether to risk killing this Konoha ninja who came and went.

Although he always talked about the "strongest shield" and revealed the trump card of the "strongest spear", he knew very well that the foundation that supported his strength was the fastest speed.

Without enough speed, the third generation Raikage would be kited to death, so why fight for the strongest Kage?

So after seeing Uchiha Yuu and Miwa Masato cooperate to perform a space jump, he realized that this was the limit of speed. No matter how fast he ran, he could not go faster than this time-free method. .

Of course, the Third Raikage had murderous intentions.

But the next moment, Orochimaru blocked his sight, and the Third Raikage noticed that on his smiling face, a pair of cold snake eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Obviously, Orochimaru also had murderous intentions, but not against the Third Raikage, but against this group of Kumogakure Jonin.

Since the Konoha ninjas present are obviously stronger, they have a chance to destroy the Kumogakure ninja group here.

I believe that when this news reaches Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Onoki will change his defensive policy and become an aggressive offensive posture.

By that time, the war between the south of Kumogakure and Konoha Village would officially begin, and the west would have to defend itself against Iwagakure's attack. Thinking about the embarrassment of the situation, it was a headache.

Even if the Third Raikage returned from this battle unscathed, Kumogakure's decline was inevitable.

Even if he killed many Jounin of Konoha ninja, it would not have much impact on the family fortune of Konoha Village. The loss of thirty Jounin could be made up in half a month at most.

What's more, Orochimaru is also here, how can the Third Raikage kill people at will?

Orochimaru completed the calculation in his mind instantly, and he was naturally moved.

Although Konoha and Kumogakure will officially go to war because of this, Orochimaru also feels that it is very worthwhile, and it is just a declaration of war, which does not mean that Kumogakure will really go to war with Konoha.

On the contrary, now, when the two families have not declared war and are still cooperating against the Kirigakure ninjas, is there no battle between the Kumogakure ninjas and the Konoha ninjas?

Of course it's impossible. Not only do the ninjas from the two families fight every day, but they also fight fiercely.

At least judging from the statistics, the number of battles between Konoha ninja and Kirigakure ninja are not as many as the number of conflicts with Kumogakure ninja.

After the official start of the Third Ninja War, the boundary between war and peace was not so clear. Unless one side had its back broken and had to worry about being beaten at all times, it would be possible to seriously abide by the truce agreement.

After the Third Raikage saw Orochimaru's murderous intent, he backed down without hesitation. Killing the enemy to eliminate hidden dangers, how important is it to protect one's own elite power?

He waved his hand and told his son and subordinates to retreat quickly. In turn, he blocked Orochimaru's sight and deterred him.

It wasn't until his subordinates walked away that the Third Raikage slowly turned around and left. Before leaving, he said harshly: "You are very good, Orochimaru, you are really very good."

Orochimaru chuckled and said nothing.

…

After the Battle of Yuno Kuni where Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Konoha gathered together, the Kirigakure ninjas completely withdrew from Yuno Kuni, and the Kumogakure ninjas also silently retreated hundreds of kilometers.

Cloud Hidden Village did not get the maximum benefit from this battle, and its true strength was exposed. The Third Raikage reduced its troops without hesitation.

After these hundreds of kilometers of land were released, the density of Kumogakure ninjas greatly increased, while the Konoha ninjas were greatly dispersed, and the situation in the country of Yu became stable again.

As the only victor, the Konoha ninjas occupied most of the land of the Kingdom of Yu.

According to Orochimaru's idea, he didn't want to occupy these lands at all. He just wanted to maintain enough mobile troops to deal with any emergencies.

But now he decided to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage. When thinking, he had to consider the overall interests of the Leaf Village. In order to boost the morale of the Leaf Village, he gritted his teeth and scattered the ninjas in his hands, weakening himself, and Yun The hidden ninja formed a new equilibrium situation.

Orochimaru was very dissatisfied with this, but this situation was an indispensable shot in the arm for the villagers of Konoha Village.

For the benefit of Konoha Village as a whole, he gritted his teeth and sacrificed his advantage in the Country of Yu.

Sure enough, news of the smooth progress in the Kingdom of Yu spread back to Konoha Village, making the whole village rejoice. The villagers even spontaneously held a parade to publicize their excitement.

After the war started, wars broke out in all directions in Konoha Village, and bad news came from all directions. A group of old guys came back in despair after defeating the battle, but it was impossible for the ninjas who died in the battle to come back.

The large-scale death of Konoha ninjas has brought endless sadness to Konoha Village, especially the civilian ninjas who died the most. Although it is not as bad as every family, there are still ninjas killed in the neighborhood, which is sad and pessimistic. The negative emotions cannot be shaken off, and the impact on morale is not insignificant.

The Third Hokage has been worried about this for a long time, but he has no choice but to hope that good news will come from the front line.

Now, the news of victory finally arrived, the gloom in Konoha Village disappeared instantly, his pressure suddenly eased, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

What he faces next is the worry of happiness. Should he continue to support Orochimaru of the Country of Yu and strive for a greater victory, or should he support Jiraiya of the Country of Rain and save the people who were attacked by Sand Hidden Village and Iwagakure Village? Decline.

Of course, the tug-of-war in the Southern Sichuan Country was not considered. The commander there was not his third-generation Hokage, and victory might not be as good as defeat.

Thinking about the trouble of choosing between the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen unconsciously took out the crystal ball from the drawer, stroked it and started his long-interrupted leisure activities.

As for worries, they are worries about happiness anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you wait.

…

After this battle, the worst thing was naturally the Kirigakure Village, which lost most of the ninjas. Especially the strength of the main force, the Snow Clan, the Oni Deng Clan, and the Kaguya Clan, suddenly declined.

Among them, the Snow Clan was the worst. After Ling's death, the only remaining Kage of the Snow Clan was the Third Mizukage. After being injured by Uchiha Madara, he never recovered from his injuries.

After hearing the news that the Kirigakure ninja army was completely wiped out, and that his favorite junior, Lingya, had died on the battlefield, the third Mizukage was filled with grief and anger, vomiting blood, and fell unconscious on the spot.

The third Mizukage's injury triggered the pupil bomb that Uchiha Madara had buried for a long time, which directly tore the third Mizukage's consciousness. He died that night.

His death was so sudden that he could not even leave a few words to designate the Fourth Mizukage. This had long since detonated the biggest crisis in the entire Kirigakure Village.

During the war, the Kage of Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water, the third generation Mizukage who was known as the strongest, was beaten at home. Everyone in Kirigakure Village didn't even know who did it. They had never experienced anything like this since the establishment of Kirigakure Village. shame.

From the neutral faction headed by Yuanshi to the Kaguya clan, the Snow clan, and the Ghost Lantern clan, everyone felt that their faces were swollen and uncomfortable. All the ninjas in the entire Kirigakure Village were angered. They all shared the same hatred and vowed to avenge the past and avenge the Third Mizukage. It doesn't matter if you don't know who did it. Anyway, it was only the other four ninjas from the village, so just beat them all up.

Driven by a rare feeling of common hatred, the three major ninja clans and Genshi in Kirigakure Village issued a joint order, prohibiting the three major ninja clans from acting on their own, requiring the Kirigakure ninja army to unite to fight in a unified manner, and civilian ninjas to also provide maximum cooperation. .

As a result, the Kirigakure ninjas who landed on the mainland were no longer scattered in several countries. Instead, they were led by the three major ninja clans and formed a huge ninja army of tens of thousands of ninjas, launching an unprecedented attack on the Konoha ninjas.

In the past two wars, the three ninja clans in Kirigakure Village took the lead and attacked their own targets. The main focus was a bulk.

There were obviously many powerful ninjas in Kirigakure Village, but they played the role of troublemakers and clowns in the war. No one took them seriously.

But this time Kirigakure gathered a huge ninja army, and their unified actions actually caused Kumogakure and Konoha to treat them with caution. Even after being attacked by Kirigakure, Konoha had to avoid its sharp edges and retreated to defeat them. Hundreds of kilometers.

At that time, the Kirigakure ninjas were high-spirited, confident, and majestic.

When the news came back to Kirigakure Village, people were also excited, and it was finally confirmed that the large army was more powerful than the Great Ninja clan fighting alone.

But now the situation has changed suddenly, and the army of tens of thousands of ninjas has been defeated, and more than 7,000 ninjas have been lost along the way. The three most important ninja clans are the top priority of Kumogakure and Konoha's hunting, and the casualty ratio is as high as 90%.

The backbone of Kirigakure Village is about to be broken. This blood feud is so great that the death of the Third Mizukage is nothing compared to it. Kirigakure Village must take revenge.

But before taking revenge, they must first choose a new leader to serve as the Fourth Mizukage.

Only in this way can we ask for military expenses from the Daimyo of the Land of Water, distribute supplies, and make up for the terrible losses caused by this defeat.

But who will do the Fourth Mizukage?

The vigorous battle for the fourth generation of water shadows has begun.
