Chapter 136: Not all Uchiha can be Uchiha Madara

"Natsuo! Come here!"

 

"Huh? What's up?"

 

"Die!"

 

"Huh?"

 

Natsuo faced Tsunade's fierce attack with a bewildered expression. She really went all out, using even her Chakra Enhanced Strength.

 

And not only that, while they were fighting she screamed: "You stole my daughter! You stole my daughter!"

 

Natsuo looked innocent, but he could only defend himself against Tsunade's madness move by move. It wasn't his fault, the bond formed instantly as soon as he approached Hikari.

 

Besides, isn't it normal for him to be close to her daughter? Natsuo sighed lightly.

 

Tsunade vented her grievances fiercely and then turned and ran back into the room. But it didn't take long before she came out again, still angry.

 

"Natsuo! You stole my daughter again! Why is she only calling you now?"

 

And then she swung her fist.

 

Natsuo: "..."

 

Natsuo thought: 'I was thinking of returning to the Uchiha residence, but seeing Tsunade's unreasonable temper, if I don't give her a 'punishment', it seems she won't calm down.'

 

That night, the Senju clan's house was in turmoil.

 

The surrounding major shinobi clans were worried that Natsuo and Tsunade had separated and started fighting. The village cannot bear any more internal conflicts.

 

...

 

The next day.

 

Many clan leaders gathered at the Hokage's office.

 

After a day of effort, most of the Root ninjas had been gathered and were being monitored by everyone; After it was confirmed that these people were loyal to Danzo, they were basically doomed, as unstable elements could not be allowed to exist within the village.

 

But still there were some Root ninjas who noticed that something was wrong when the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal disappeared, so before the village ninjas arrived they had disappeared. Clearly, they had decided to defect!

 

Tsunade didn't hesitate to label these people as rebels, but she found herself in a passive position.

 

Apparently according to the information provided by Natsuo, he may have damaged Danzo's consciousness and soul with his Mangekyo Sharingan technique. Which caused the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal to be released, alerting the Root ninjas that something had happened to Danzo.

 

"Fifth Hokage, we must quickly adjust the defense arrangements in the three major battle zones." Nara Shikaku said: "The betrayal of the Root ANBU will lead to the leak of a large amount of intelligence information to other countries."

 

"If we don't rearrange the defense, the losses will be severe..."

 

"Yes, I know..." Tsunade took a deep breath, her expression serious. "I have already informed Jiraiya and the others that the defense arrangements in the three major battle zones will be changed..."

 

But this also means that many of the fortifications that were previously built cannot be used.

 

They will also leak a lot of information about hidden logistics transfer points, and we will have to do more to ensure the security of the front supply lines.

 

Clearly, this is a serious loss for Konoha, which is already at a disadvantage! And all of this...

 

It's Natsuo's fault!

 

Tsunade glared fiercely at Natsuo.

 

Natsuo, however, was indifferent and responded with a provocative look.

 

'This guy!' Tsunade was even more angry.

 

"I'm not worried about Kumogakure." Nara Shikaku shook his head. "Jiraiya-sama is powerful, and there are also the most Konoha Shinobi there. Even if they lose the advantage of intelligence, they can still hold the line."

 

"I'm not worried about Sunagakure either. They seem satisfied with the current results and are strengthening their defenses."

 

"But as for Kirigakure..."

 

Nara Shikaku sighed lightly. "Tsunade-sama, according to intelligence, many Root members have escaped in the direction of the battlefield against Kirigakure."

 

"Previously, Kirigakure's defense line was also under Danzo's control. I am afraid that the information leak here will be the most serious."

 

"There is no capable person in charge over there. Isn't it a bit...?" He hesitated to speak, but his attitude was already clear. 'Should we consider sending Natsuo to this place and let him redeem himself?'

 

Other ninjas also expressed their opinions one after another. Although they didn't say it directly, their words emphasizing the shortage of manpower on the battlefield and the urgent need for a skilled person to be stationed there have already shown their attitude.

 

They hope that Natsuo will solve the problems he has caused by going to the battlefield to stabilize the front against Kirigakure.

 

There are many reasons for the ninjas not to continue with the issue of the problems caused by Natsuo. On the one hand, Natsuo got rid of Danzo and solved an important problem for everyone, especially the ninja clans of which Danzo always kidnapped his most talented members to enter the Root.

 

Secondly, the Uchiha clan is the biggest victim of Danzo's actions. The Uchiha clan has been reduced to only Natsuo and Sasuke. It's only natural that he would seek revenge against Danzo, right?

 

Thirdly, and most importantly, Natsuo is strong! Although many ninjas did not recognize the change in Natsuo's eyes before burning the Shimura clan member, but ninja clans with members who lived during Uchiha Madara's era still recognized what those eyes meant. Those eyes allowed Uchiha Madara to face the first Hokage Senju Hashirama!

 

A strong person is always someone people can rely on.

 

Even Uchiha Madara, who indirectly caused Senju Hashirama's death, was remembered by many ninja when the First Shinobi World War broke out, wishing in their hearts that he was still in the village.

 

In the minds of the top leaders of the ninja clans, Natsuo's strength may not match that of Uchiha Madara, but he is definitely very strong.

 

With such combat power, even if there are some faults, as long as he is willing to protect everyone, it is acceptable.

 

"Do you also prefer Natsuo?" Tsunade's eye twitched, feeling dissatisfied. She slammed the table hard.

 

"Don't even think about it! Killing a fellow Konoha ninja who hasn't been convicted, this precedent shouldn't be set!"

 

"He has to stay in Konoha now, and not think about going anywhere else!"

 

Everyone: "...?"

 

Everyone looked confused, completely unaware of why Tsunade was so angry.

 

Just yesterday, Tsunade seemed to be taking a lenient attitude towards Natsuo, not even subjecting him to any punishment. So why did everything change so suddenly today?

 

Natsuo, upon hearing this, couldn't help but smirk.

 

...

 

Kirigakure Headquarters.

 

"Are you saying that Konoha has a very powerful expert?" Terumi Mei looked at Mangetsu with a serious expression.

 

"Yes." Mangetsu sighed. "That Uchiha Natsuo is really terrifying. If he hadn't decisively given up the Hiramekarei, he might have been killed by him... In that short confrontation he couldn't feel the slightest possibility of winning."

 

"And..."

 

"If the records of the Hozuki clan are correct, that person has the same eyes as Uchiha Madara."

 

The Kirigakure ninjas suddenly became solemn.

 

Has another Uchiha appeared, as powerful as Uchiha Madara?

 

"He probably isn't as strong as Uchiha Madara." Mangetsu noticed the expressions of the crowd and said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape from his hands."

 

"But it's still dangerous!"

 

"Uchiha..." Terumi Mei pondered for a while.

 

Suddenly, an ANBU appeared and whispered a few words in her ear.

 

Terumi Mei's expression changed slightly, then she followed the ANBU.

 

After a while, she returned.

 

"Just now, a ninja who has defected from Konoha brought information." Terumi Mei's expression became serious. "And the identity of the enemy who defeated Mangetsu has been confirmed. It is indeed the current leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Natsuo."

 

"He seems to be hiding something, or rather, he is truly an Uchiha. Despite fooling around with women every day, he still possesses such strength..." Terumi Mei sighed lightly. "He has already killed Shimura Danzo."

 

Terumi Mei sighed as she recounted the news brought by the defected Root ninjas.

 

The expressions of the crowd suddenly became serious.

 

First defeating Mangetsu, then killing Danzo, all this added to the fact that he has the same eyes as Uchiha Madara...

 

"But Mizukage-sama, according to what you said, that Uchiha Natsuo is now trapped in Konoha Village by the Fifth Hokage." A ninja present immediately understood the key point. "So, does that mean that on our battlefield there is no powerful Konoha ninja leading their troops?"

 

"That's right." Terumi Mei nodded. "The information brought has been confirmed and it seems that Konoha's troops do not have a commander."

 

"There really are no high-level ninjas on the Konoha side?"

 

Doesn't that mean that the prosperous Land of Fire is opening up to us?

 

The Kiri ninjas' eyes lit up. The Land of Water is an island nation, with decent strength, but every time they reach out to the mainland, they are always beaten back!

 

And now there is an opportunity to defeat the Konoha Shinobi and swallow up a large amount of land. They couldn't sit still!

 

"Mizukage-sama, let's attack!"

 

"Yes, how dare they have internal conflicts right before the battle? The people of Konoha really underestimate us!"

 

"That's right! And whether Natsuo is powerful or not, let's teach them a lesson first!"

 

"And what if it's an Uchiha? Not every Uchiha is Uchiha Madara!"

 

Everyone was extremely excited.

 

Terumi Mei also said without hesitation: "I think so too."

 

"Everyone, launch the attack!"

 

"Show Konoha the strength of Kirigakure!"

 

"Yes, Mizukage-sama!" Everyone excitedly responded.

 

Terumi Mei gave consecutive orders, and everyone received their orders and planned to increase the intensity of the attack.

 

On the other hand, Mangetsu hesitated for a long time. Finally, when everyone left and only Terumi Mei remained, she couldn't help but say: "Mizukage-sama, I think Natsuo may not be as..."

 

"Although he may not compare to Uchiha Madara, his strength should not be underestimated."

 

"What if Konoha sends him to the battlefield again..." Mangetsu looked worried.

 

Terumi Mei fell silent for a moment and said: "I have also considered what you're thinking, but now is indeed the best time to attack."

 

"You also know that the more advantage we have in the initial stages, even if we give up some land later, the more room we have to negotiate..."

 

"Besides, we might not necessarily lose!"

 

Terumi Mei's eyes were firm and bright. "Not every Uchiha is Uchiha Madara."

 

"I, Terumi Mei, am not weak either!"

 

Mangetsu breathed a sigh of relief at her words. Yes, not every Uchiha is named Uchiha Madara.

 

Although Natsuo is not weak, our Mizukage-sama is also a strong person. We might not necessarily lose.
