Konoha: Uchiha's Magnificent Rebellion

Page 53

With a loud shout, a wall of earth quickly appeared in front of the kunai.

Boom!

The explosion of the detonating tag was blocked by the earth wall. Uchiha Yuan looked in the direction where the loud shout came from and exchanged glances with a Konoha ninja.

Next, Uchiha Yuan looked in several other directions.

There was an angry, ferocious, and murderous intent locking onto him from several directions.

The next moment, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and several powerful lightning ninjutsu came towards him.

"Die, little Uchiha!"

Uchiha Yuan flew to avoid a bolt of lightning, then waved his hands repeatedly, and in just a few breaths, he threw out a wave of dense shurikens, flying towards the direction of the lightning.

The battle lasted for about an hour, and the Cloud Ninja was defeated due to the overwhelming number of Konoha Ninjas.

This Cloud Ninja unit consisted of a hundred men, but in the end only a dozen or so men managed to break through and escape, while the rest were all killed in battle.

Uchiha Yuan scanned the entire battlefield, and around him were the fallen bodies of Cloud Ninja.

The eyes of these Cloud Ninjas were all glaring with anger, and their expressions before death were all full of fearlessness and madness.

Looking at these Cloud Ninjas, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but say secretly: What a bunch of crazy guys, no wonder the Hidden Cloud Village puts the greatest pressure on the village and sent us here.

Yamanaka Kino came to Uchiha Yuan and said, "Captain, in this battle we lost four Jonin, seventeen Chunin, and thirty-one were seriously injured."

"Report the battle situation to the headquarters."

"Yes."

After a pause, Yamanaka Kino's face showed worry, and he said, "Captain, the Cloud Ninja suffered a crushing defeat today. They will not swallow this humiliation, and a counterattack is likely to come soon."

Uchiha Yuan said nonchalantly: "Then let them come, I'm not afraid of them."

Then a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes, "For this group of crazy and reckless people, I will be their fear."

On the edge of the hot spring town, several hot spring ninjas stood on a rooftop and looked at the battlefield where the Konoha ninjas and the Cloud ninjas were fighting.

A soup ninja breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The battle is finally over. Konoha won."

Next to him, another Tang Ninja said helplessly: "Alas, this is just the beginning, those violent Cloud Ninjas will surely come again.

I hope the Konoha Ninja can maintain their victory. Once the Konoha Ninja is defeated, the Kumo Ninja will definitely vent their anger on us."

The Konoha headquarters is dozens of miles away.

A Konoha ninja took the letter tube from the leg of a hawk and used the instant body technique to come to Jiraiya's tent.

Jiraiya looked at the small piece of paper in his hand that contained the battle report, and raised his eyebrows as he said, "The First Company of the Fourth Battalion engaged the Cloud Ninja in Hot Spring Town, and the Cloud Ninja were defeated and fled."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stepped forward to take the small note, and after reading it, he said with some surprise: "Six Kumo Ninja Jonins were killed by Uchiha Yuan. This is really shocking, kid."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "To be valued by Orochimaru, Uchiha Yuan must have extraordinary talent. This kid is not simple."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said, "But this brat is also very troublesome. The Yugen Village has protested to us. Uchiha Yuan's squadron is actually stationed in Hot Spring Town. Should we send an order to him to withdraw from Hot Spring Town?"

Jiraiya frowned, then said, "Forget it. He just had a big fight with the Cloud Ninja. Don't let him disrupt the morale of the army."

The next day, in Hot Spring Town, the base of the Konoha ninja.

Uchiha Yuan sat on the tatami, playing with a kunai in his right hand. The kunai was spinning and jumping flexibly between his five fingers.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face. He had just received news from the patrol team that the place where the Cloud Ninja bodies were buried had signs of excavation.

After digging up several Cloud Ninja graves, the patrol team of Konoha Ninja discovered that the Cloud Ninja bodies inside were missing.

Yamanaka Kino, who was at the lower left of Uchiha Yuan, said, "Captain, the Kumo Ninja bodies are missing. Could it be that the Kumo Ninjas want to retrieve the bodies of their companions?"

After a moment of silence, the nimble kunai suddenly stopped, and Uchiha Yuan asked, "Have you found any suspicious traces around our base?"

"No, the patrol team searched the area around Hot Spring Town carefully and found nothing unusual except for the Cloud Ninja burial site."

Uchiha Yuan said calmly: "Then don't worry about it. The ninja's body contains many secrets. Maybe it's an underground organization, or a wandering ninja is interested in the Cloud Ninja."

After Yamanaka Kino left, Uchiha Yuan looked thoughtful.

He thought of a suspect, the Tang Shinobi. Among the Tang Shinobi, there was a group of people who worshipped evil gods. Uchiha Yuan suspected that it was this group of Tang Shinobi who stole the body of the Kumo Shinobi.

A few days later, Konoha patrols discovered that the bodies of Kumo ninjas had been stolen again.

However, the Konoha ninjas had no time to pay attention to this matter, because the front reconnaissance team monitoring the Cloud Ninjas had sent news that they had encountered and fought with the Cloud Ninja reconnaissance team.

In the following days, Konoha's reconnaissance team encountered the Cloud Ninja reconnaissance team many times, and even once discovered the Cloud Ninja reconnaissance team near the hot spring town.

"Captain, our reconnaissance team lost two Chunins today. They were ambushed by the Kumo Shinobi team. If it weren't for the other two reconnaissance teams nearby rushing to support them, I'm afraid they would have been wiped out."

At the Konoha Ninja Headquarters, Yamanaka Kino said solemnly to Uchiha Fumuchi.

Uchiha Yuan looked at a map in front of him, on which were multiple locations marking the whereabouts of the Cloud Ninja Team.

"Captain, the Cloud Ninja are coming with great force this time."

Seeing Uchiha Yuan staring at the map without saying anything, Yamanaka Kino said anxiously.

"Did the reconnaissance team find out how many people are in the Kumo Ninja force this time?"

"According to the analysis of several reconnaissance teams, this Cloud Ninja force probably has 500 members."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but frown and asked in surprise, "They actually still have the energy to send out so many people?"

According to the message exchanged with the headquarters, Uchiha Yuan already knew that although Jiraiya did not adopt his suggestion to pursue the Cloud Ninja that day, he passed the message to the Konoha troops on the battlefield against Iwagakure through the Harrier.

Then, after a few days, the Konoha troops on the Iwagakure battlefield discovered that the Iwagakure's offensive had weakened and turned to a defensive position.

Then the hidden Konoha spies brought news that Iwagakure suddenly increased its military forces and a war broke out with Kumogakure.

The Kumogakure was badly defeated and was forced to retreat from the Land of Water Trap to the Land of Fields by the Iwagakure.

Facing Uchiha Yuan's doubts, Yamanaka Kino smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, you are the only one who has dealt a crushing defeat to the Cloud Ninja during this period. Under the orders of Lord Jiraiya, the other squadrons have focused on defense and have only had a few minor conflicts with the Cloud Ninja.

With the Cloud Ninja's hot temper, they will definitely seek revenge on you."

Uchiha Yuan stared at the map and said, "Staff Officer Yamanaka, the Kumo Ninja's forces are far stronger than ours. What do you think we should do next?"

Yamanaka Kino looked at the map, pointed at a location, and said, "Captain, we should immediately send a message to the Third Squadron and have them station here to form a corner with us, so that the Cloud Ninja can't face us with all their strength."

Chapter 69: Changes in the War

In a dense forest with towering trees, the sounds of metal clashing, the bombardment of ninjutsu, and angry roars were all mixed together.

A moment later, two blood-stained Konoha ninjas jumped out of the woods in panic.

One of the older Konoha ninjas was seriously injured, with more than a dozen kunai and shurikens stuck in his shoulders and back, and bright red blood staining most of his body.

"Hahaha, you bastards of Konoha, you can't escape!"

The leaves were flying all over the place, and strong winds were blowing continuously; dozens of Cloud Ninjas rushed out of the woods and chased after the two Konoha Ninjas.

Seeing the pursuing Cloud Ninja approaching quickly, the seriously injured Konoha Ninja shouted to his companion beside him: "I will go to stop the Cloud Ninja, you must bring back the information."

Then, the Konoha ninja suddenly stopped running and turned to face the pursuing Kumo ninja.

The companion was a young man in his twenties, who was also injured; his left arm was covered in blood and flesh, caused by a ninjutsu attack.

He turned around and glanced behind him, the ferocious face of the Cloud Ninja clearly falling into his sight.

Unable to conceal his sorrow, he said loudly, "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely bring the information back."

Then he saw the captain first throwing several kunai with detonating tags at the Cloud Ninja, and then running towards the Cloud Ninja with a kunai in each hand.

"Rumble..."

The explosion of the detonating tag caused smoke and dust to rise, and then several Cloud Ninja figures jumped out from the smoke and dust.

Water Style - Great Waterfall Technique.

A loud shout was rang out, and the blocking Konoha ninja formed seals with his hands and performed a powerful water-style ninjutsu that swept towards the Cloud Ninja.

The battle ended after a few minutes. The Konoha ninja was half-kneeling on the ground, a big hand grabbed his hair, and a sword pierced his chest.

A Cloud Ninja with two lines of oil paint on his cheeks drew out his sword, then casually threw the body of the Konoha Ninja to the ground with his other hand.

He glanced into the distance and said angrily, "Damn, another Konoha ninja got away."

The Cloud Ninja beside him smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you kill a few more Konoha ninjas next time."

"I want to meet that Uchiha brat as soon as possible. I still can't believe that Isaka and the others were killed by him. I must torture that Uchiha brat severely before killing him."

"Uruk, I know you want to avenge Ithaca and the others; but you can't be reckless with that Uchiha brat.

That brat actually fought with the Raikage-sama and even injured him. Although it was only a minor injury, don’t forget, how many people in the entire ninja world can hurt the Raikage-sama?

At this time, another Cloud Ninja said: "Uruk, don't worry, this war is long, and we will run into that Uchiha brat sooner or later."

"That's right. When the war ends, that's up to us, Kumogakure, to decide."

Hot Spring Town, the base of Konoha Ninja.

Uchiha Yuan asked the ninja who was reporting the information to retreat, frowned slightly, and said, "The Kumo Ninja's offensive is getting more and more fierce. Seven reconnaissance teams have been ambushed, three of which were completely wiped out, and only a few people escaped from the other four."

Yamanaka Kino also frowned and said, "According to the information from the reconnaissance team, the main force of the Cloud Ninja is approaching the hot spring town.

So far, our patrols have had more than a dozen clashes with the Cloud Ninja, with both sides winning and losing."

Uchiha Yuan asked: "How is the situation in the third squadron?"

"Captain Gekkou Liufeng has sent word that the Cloud Ninja have launched more than ten probing attacks over the past month, and they are beginning to feel the strain of coping. Furthermore, the defenses of other squadrons have also been subjected to probing attacks from the Cloud Ninja."

Uchiha Yuan showed a hint of confusion on his face and said, "The Kumo Ninja suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with the Iwagakure not long ago. How come they still have so many troops to threaten us?"

Yamanaka Kino said: "I suspect it is very likely that the Hidden Cloud Village sent reinforcements. Given the fighting style of the Cloud Ninja, a defeat would only make them more determined to fight."

Uchiha Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to lead the patrol myself tomorrow."

Yamanaka Kino hurriedly said, "No, Captain, you are our commander-in-chief in this area. How can you go to the front line in person?"

Uchiha Yuan said: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Looking at the dignified and resolute expression on Uchiha Yuan's face, Yamanaka Kino sighed helplessly and said, "I understand. Please be careful, Captain."

the next day.

On a cliff dozens of miles away from the hot spring town, Uchiha Yuan stood on a tree at the edge of the cliff and looked ahead.

Below the cliff was a canyon several miles wide, and they found traces of Cloud Ninja activities near the canyon.

Swish.

A figure flashed and appeared, and a Konoha ninja appeared in front of Uchiha Yuan through the instant body technique.

"Captain, a fifteen-man Kumo ninja squad has been spotted three miles into the canyon."

Uchiha Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, and he said, "Destroy this team of Cloud Ninjas, not a single one can escape."

In the canyon, several waterfalls flow down from the surrounding cliffs, forming several turbulent rivers, and then flow into a vast lake.

At this time, a group of Cloud Ninjas were resting on the grass by the lake.

Suddenly, a dark-skinned Cloud Ninja stood up and shouted, "Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"

The next moment, a huge wave tens of meters high suddenly arose in the lake.

"Water Style - Water Dragon Giant Bullet!"

Amidst the simultaneous shouts of several voices, a hundred-meter-long water dragon roared and rushed towards the Cloud Ninja.

Boom!

The impact of the water dragon covered the entire grassland. Amidst the huge splashes of water, several Cloud Ninjas jumped into the air.

Lightning Release - Gratitude Wave.

Earth escape - earth bomb.

Lightning and earth bombs attacked several Konoha ninjas in the lake.

At the same time, water on the ground spread out, revealing an earth wall that was several meters thick but had been mostly destroyed.

Behind the earth wall, the Cloud Ninjas leaped out in anger; then suddenly there was a dense sound of breaking air all around, and countless kunai and shurikens flew over.

In addition to being good at physical skills, the Cloud Ninjas also have strong swordsmanship skills, and almost everyone carries a long sword on their back.

They swung their swords, and for a moment, cold light crisscrossed like a light net, knocking away all the flying kunai and shurikens.

On a big tree near the lake, Uchiha Yuan stood on the top of the tree and watched the battle between the Konoha Ninja and the Cloud Ninja.
