Chapter 214: Shin’s Mangekyou Sharingan
Chapter 214: Shin's Mangekyou Sharingan
What happened in Hyuga's territory was completely unexpected.
No one would have thought that Hyuga's family would be so brave, killing the entire Kumogakure Diplomat Group in one go!
Even Patriarch Hyuga was stunned. When he angrily questioned his younger brother, Hizashi,
Hizashi just looked at him with a solemn face. "All enemies who attacked Hyuga's family are unforgivable, not to mention that they are going to attack clansmen's eldest daughter."
"But the other party is Kumogakure's diplomat group. They represent the entire Kumogakure for peace!"
"Brother, didn't you kill the leader of the diplomat group first? The leader of the other party obviously has bad intentions and was killed by you. Even if they don't kill the others, the other members of the diplomat group will make their demands. It would be better to kill them all."
Hizashi showed unprecedented strength.
Hiashi even suspected that Hizashi was going to kill him. He knew his younger twin brother very well. This was a man who could show cruel killing intent to his niece, Hinata.
The Hyuga family was powerless to deal with this matter.
When Yondaime received the news, he couldn't believe his ears.
"Hyuga? Kill all the people of Kumogakure's diplomatic mission?" Minato was shocked.
This was too outrageous.
Even if Kumogakure's diplomatic mission had harbored malicious intentions and intended to capture Hinata, they were all killed by Hyuga's clan in the end... No matter how one looked at it, this did not seem like something that Hyuga's clan would do, right?
Everyone knew that Hyuga's family was traditional, low-key, and very cowardly.
If it was Uchiha's family who had massacred Kumogakure's diplomatic mission in a fit of rage, Minato would at most feel angry, but he would not be surprised. This was because it was very similar to Uchiha's style of doing things when the clan ignited a fire.
But Hyuga...
Minato felt that something was wrong. He summoned Hiashi and Hizashi, asking them about the situation in detail, and helplessly rubbed his eyebrows.
"I understand the general situation."
It was the other party who attacked first. He coveted the clansmen's eldest daughter but was killed by Hiashi. He was held accountable by Kumogakure's diplomatic team. Then, Hizashi brought his branch family to the scene and killed Kumogakure's envoy...
Minato still found it absurd. "Hizashi, do you really have nothing to say to me?"
Hizashi said, "I have already told you everything. Hokage-sama, it is the other party who is up to no good! As the leader of the diplomatic mission, he kidnapped the clansmen's eldest daughter and deliberately made a scene. He was killed by my brother... The other party came here to start a war, not for peace!"
At this time, Yamanaka Inoichi came in. "Hokage-sama, I have searched the mind of Kumogakure's messenger. There is no trace of being manipulated by illusion."
'Did they really come prepared?'
Hiashi was silent and sighed deeply.
The diplomatic mission team had been massacred, and it was impossible for Kumogakure to let it go. Now, it was up to the village to deal with it.
Koharu turned around and shouted, "This matter, Hyuga's clan has made a big mistake! You shouldn't have done such a thing without permission!"
Mitokado Homura's expression was ugly. "The matter has already happened. We have to think carefully about how to deal with the blame on Kumogakure's side so as to calm their anger..."
Hiashi and Hizashi remained silent.
Yuuji, who had been silent all this time, said indifferently, "Why should we calm their anger? More importantly, why should we care about what Kumogakure is thinking? It's just killing a few people. What kind of explanation does Konohagakure need to give Kumogakure? Isn't that ridiculous?"
!
"Do you know what you are talking about"
"This is a war. Konoha suffered heavy losses in the three wars. We lost too many ninjas. We can't fight a war at all!"
The two consultants couldn't bear it at that time. Hearing Yuuji's words, what was he saying?
Was he going to start a war?
"If we all feel strained, Kumogakure will only be in more pain. Whether it is the number of top experts or the overall strength, they are all at a disadvantage. Speaking of which, we can't say that we won all the battles against Kumogakure in the Third Shinobi World War. We can only say that we have the upper hand. We didn't cripple Kumogakure like how we crippled Sunagakure and Kirigakure..." Yuuji appeared very calm.
"What are you afraid of? It's just killing a group of trash. What is there to worry about? And calm down Kumogakure's anger? Does Konoha need to care about the emotions of those guys?"
The current Konoha is not the Konoha on the original timeline. They are not the generations that could only rely on Sandaime Hokage to grit his teeth and support Konoha. They also did not need to sacrifice Hizashi's life to give an explanation to Kumogakure so as to appease Kumogakure's emotions.
Sandaime and Yondaime were still alive. Yuuji, Kazue, Fugaku, Shisui, Shibi, Kakashi... also the powerhouses of various ages in Konoha. They were full of talents.
They, Konohagakure, did not need to make any form of compromise with Kumogakure. They could totally show the style of Uchiha Madara in the past. Konoha did not need to care about the thoughts of other villages. If there was any movement, they could just kill everyone.
Although this was not the will of fire.
The two consultants were trembling with anger.
Hizashi had a look of understanding on his face as he lowered his head deeply.
'So Lord Yuuji had this idea in mind, to take the initiative to start a war... for what?'
Hiashi was pleasantly surprised. He was already prepared to pay a painful price, but he didn't expect Yuuji to insist on being unyielding to the end.
As expected of a disciple who endured the darkness, he was strong and refused to compromise.
"The times have changed a long time ago. If the two elders can't keep up with the times, it is better to retire quickly. This is not shameful at all. Give up your position early and hand over the burden to the young people." Yuuji said indifferently.
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Minato shook his head helplessly.
Sure enough, Yuuji would not compromise with Kumogakure, and he did not put Kumogakure's diplomatic mission in his eyes. Now, he was clearly supporting the cruel actions of Hyuga's family.
Moreover, for some reason, Yuuji had strong malice toward the two consultants... Minato could not think of how these two consultants had offended Yuuji.
The meeting ended unhappily, and the two consultants left in a huff. They went straight to Sandaime Hokage, wanting him to uphold justice.
"I've already retired. I won't ask about the matters of the village anymore. Let the young do it." Sandaime Hokage said.
...
In the conference room.
In the conference room, Minato stared at Yuuji for a long time. "Have you decided to start a war with Kumogakure? If we really want to fight, there is no doubt that the Hyuga clan will be willing to put in a lot of effort and many people will die."
Yuuji nodded, "Now it is clear that Kumogakure is going to start a war with us. Although I don't know where their confidence lies, war is unavoidable... There is no need for us to retreat. Now is the time for young people to shine and heat up."
"Understood..."
Minato fell into deep thought. He was weighing the pros and cons.
As the Hokage, his brain was very useful. Gentle but not naive. The Hokage who had killed countless people, of course, would not fear Kumogakure.
He had made a name for himself in the Third Shinobi World War, and that was the reputation and accomplishments he had gained from Kumogakure.
Since the war could not be avoided, there was no reason for him to retreat.
"Then prepare for the war. At the same time, get Root's forces to move as well. Find a way to figure out the reason why Kumogakure is so radical. If nothing goes wrong, you are the commander of this war. You should give the young some more opportunities."
Minato revealed a gentle smile.
In his generation, there were two Kage-level powerhouses, him and Shibi.
He was the Hokage, and he could not be taken lightly. Now that Konoha was full of talents, there was no reason for him to let the Hokage rush to the front line.
There was no need to mention Shibi. The people of Aburame's family were all loners. Shibi himself also liked to be alone. In the Third Shinobi World War, he rarely participated in the actions of the large army, let alone as a commander.
Looking at the next generation, there were Yuuji, Kazue, and Kakashi.
No one was more suitable than Yuuji to be on the front line.
"I understand. I will twist off the heads of Kumogakure and the others." Yuuji said goodbye and left the conference room.
...
When they arrived outside the Hokage's building, Hiashi and Hizashi were waiting.
"I'm really sorry for what happened. Thank you for your support." Hiashi bowed slightly.
"Senior brother Hiashi, the Hyuga family is an important member of the village. We can't sacrifice the Hyuga family to make the village profit. Go back and prepare well. The Hyuga clan will also be involved in the war."
Hiashi left with a complicated expression. He was not a fool. He always felt that he had been tricked from the beginning to the end. Especially his younger brother Hizashi's strange actions. At that time, he appeared on time with most of the branch families and attacked immediately... As long as Hiashi was not a fool, he would definitely realize the problem.
Branch family.... Have you already been in contact with Root? Hizashi, what do you want to do? What kind of benefits can make you do such a thing?
Hiashi and Hizashi left, and neither of the brothers spoke.
Hiashi knew very well that even if he asked, Hizashi would not say it.
"Although there was no need to sacrifice the family, if the family wanted to step into the battlefield, it would also cause painful casualties... Hizashi, I don't know what you are planning, but I hope that your consciousness is clear and you know what you are doing. This time, you didn't do anything wrong, but once you take the branch family to another road, causing things to be irreparable, I will kill you without hesitation! With the caged bird imprinted on you, even Shiranui Yuuji can't protect you."
Hiashi threw down this sentence and left Hizashi without looking back.
He was worried that the separation would lead to Hyuga's division. He was even more worried about Yuuji. He didn't know what Yuuji was planning.
Hizashi only nodded silently, a trace of unwillingness appearing on his face.
The bird in the cage... it was the Caged Bird Curse again! This damned secret sealing technique!
"I'm not just trying to crack the seal, brother... Surpassing Byakugan's eyes. I'm doing this for this. If this thing really exists, the ones who will benefit the most will still be the clansmen. Your clansmen's Byakugan hasn't reached its true potential..."
Hizashi sighed.
It would be a miracle if Uchiha didn't have any thoughts in his heart.
If Sharingan could advance, why couldn't Byakugan that was no worse than Sharingan?
...
The dark clouds of war descended once again.
Ever since the Battle of Kikyou, the three battles had basically ended. The entire Ninja World had not fought for a long time. It was just a small conflict at the border, and the scale was limited.
As Ninja World's strongest village, Konoha once again acted.
The spies in the village were alarmed and immediately began to send messages. Not long after, the entire Ninja World knew that something big was about to happen.
.....
Kumogakure.
"What??? Are Konoha and his gang crazy? How dare they do such a thing? They actually killed all the messengers I sent out! Impudent!"
Boom!
In his fury, The Fourth Raikage smashed the table with his fist. A terrifying force smashed the table, and a crack appeared on the ground.
His beard trembled.
"Mabui, immediately send the order to gather all the troops. We will fight with Konoha!" Yondaime Raikage shouted.
"Wait, wait! Lord Raikage, didn't we agree to only send out a three-hundred-man surprise attack force? Our plan is not to start an all-out war with Konoha!" Mabui cried out in alarm.
"They went too far. They actually killed the entire diplomatic mission without a word. This is a serious provocation to me!" The Fourth Raikage roared.
No one expected that Konoha would actually be so radical.
"When did Konoha, who had always treated peace as the most important, ever do such a thing since the founding of the village? After discovering the kidnapping, they simply killed the entire envoy group and then prepared to start a war"
When Uchiha Madara was here, he had never done this before!
Mabui wiped the sweat from her forehead and whispered, "Lord Raikage, you may have forgotten. According to our analysis, the commander of Konoha's side is most likely Shiranui Yuuji. If he is here, no matter how many soldiers we send, it will be of no use. It will only lead to meaningless casualties."
The Fourth Raikage managed to wake up a little and gritted his teeth.
That's right, what Mabui said was right.
If there was no Shiranui Yuuji, they could have completely suppressed the enemy.
But the problem was that with Shiranui, this Nuclear Release freak, who had this strange Kekkei Genkai, releasing a large range of radiation toxins, it was simply unreasonable.
The Jonin Ninja could still resist, but Gennin would basically be finished if they encountered him.
According to the information collected by Kumogakure, many Suna ninjas, and Iwa ninjas whom Shiranui Yuuji had fought with had contracted a lifelong poisonous disease. Their genes were destroyed, and many people could only live in endless pain for the rest of their lives.
This was also the reason why Kumogakure insisted on killing Shiranui Yuuji. With this guy here, the advantage in the future would always be on Konoha's side.
After a long time, The Fourth Raikage suppressed his anger.
"I will personally lead the surprise attack force to attack Konohagakure. I will use the head of that little brat to mourn the heroes of Kumogakure!"
The Fourth Raikage, turned around, smashed the wall with a punch, and left with a leap.
The only one left was Mabui, who had a helpless expression on her face.
"Really, I didn't expect such a thing to happen..."
"Was Lord Raikage also part of Konoha's plan? What a headache..." Mabui covered her face.
The war was approaching, and all the big Ninja villages smelled something strange and paid close attention to it.
However, for some people, the battle in the Great Village could not attract their attention at all.
At least for Uchiha Shin, it was like this.
Shin didn't care about the war between Ninja villages at all, he put all his attention on himself.
"Sharingan, Sharingan... What should I do to have Mangekyou Sharingan? What will my eye technique be?"
