Chapter 496 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

There have always been conflicts between Uchiha and Konoha.

It’s just that for a long time, both sides have tacitly suppressed their respective dissatisfaction, thus maintaining a false superficial balance and peace.

But there is no doubt that as the Uchiha clan's strength increases, the relationship between them and the Hokage clan will become more delicate.

In particular, with the Uchiha clan's activeness on the battlefield, they were able to quickly gather a large number of people's hearts.

This is even more remarkable!
Once the Uchiha clan gains a lot of support among the civilians and ninjas of Konoha, how will the next Hokage be chosen?

It concerns the power of a village. Once a problem arises, it may trigger internal conflicts, cause internal wars and damage, which will be a big deal.

Xia Le naturally saw the ambition in Fugaku's heart.

Obviously, the Uchiha clan was so powerful that Fugaku, the clan leader, could no longer sit still. This was nothing more than ambition, and it was just that humans, after reaching a certain point, simply wanted to go one step further.

"The village is on guard against us."

Uchiha Fugaku said in a deep voice.

"hehe."

"Hasn't this kind of thing always happened since the village was founded?"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

"But this time it's different, Xia Le!"

"I can't tolerate this happening again and again!"

"Moreover, during the years you were away, the voices within the clan were actually..."

Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth.

"okay!"

Xia Le waved his hand to interrupt.

"Since you have made up your mind, just do it according to your idea!"

After a pause, he said calmly again.

"Fugaku, you are the head of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed.

“I need your support!”

Xia Le's expression remained unchanged: "I don't care about this kind of thing."

“So, that’s my point.”

“I don’t support it, but I don’t oppose it either!”

Fugaku heard this and sighed, "I understand!"

The other party's attitude can be regarded as a statement of position.

At the very least, not objecting is good enough. Otherwise, with Xia Le in the middle, most Uchiha would obey his will with just one word.

There is no doubt that almost all Uchiha today are fanatical followers of Xia Le.

"But, if we have to do it."

"Just be decisive!"

Suddenly, Xia Le spoke again.

Fugaku was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had already secured the position of Hokage. It would be almost impossible for him to take action.

But the Uchiha can compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage.

The strength of the tribe members is increasing day by day, and he has also mastered the Mangekyō Sharingan, plus there is a great god like Xia Le.

As the clan leader, how could Fugaku not have ambitions in his heart?

But how to compete for the position of the next generation Hokage is a difficult problem.

At the very least, he must first know who his opponent is.

Time continues to pass.

The northwest border was quiet, and Ōnoki in Iwagakure Village had completely calmed down, and no more accidents occurred.

This also resulted in the Uchiha camp headed by Uchiha Fugaku being stationed on the border every day as if they were in exile.

Because the war was not over, they could not return to the village.

This corner seems to have been forgotten by the world.

Xia Le was very used to such a leisurely and peaceful life. As time went by, Fugaku and others became more and more dissatisfied and angry.

At six months.

The news coming from the village made the Uchiha clan feel indignant.

"Nagato's achievements were actually suppressed by the village?"

"What a joke! Their team fought off an elite force of Iwagakure, a thousand strong!"

"What on earth is going on in the village?"

"And Lord Xia Le, he defeated the entire Iwagakure Village by himself!"

Not only the Uchiha ninjas, but even the people on the northwest border were dumbfounded and full of confusion at this moment.

It is hard to imagine that the village could have kept such great news secret for such a long time and it has not yet become widely known.

On the contrary.

"Golden Flash, the fame of Minato Namikaze has spread throughout Konoha!"

"I do approve Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, but!"

"What does village mean?"

Many ninjas were confused and didn't understand at all.

On the contrary, Fugaku figured it out the moment he received the news.

This was a deliberate suppression by the Konoha high-level officials, who obviously did not want the Uchiha clan's reputation to become too famous.

"childish!"

Fugaku sneered, but his fists were clenched.

But without Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, they could not return to the village at all and could only let whatever happened in the village happen.

Three months later.

The reputation of Golden Flash even spread to the northwest border. He made great military achievements and became famous throughout the ninja world.

It seems that they have already achieved the reputation of Konoha White Fang and Black Flash during the Second Ninja World War.

Fugaku secretly gritted his teeth, but soon regained his composure.

The more this happened, the more he realized that he must not lose control of his emotions.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed in Konoha.

Surprisingly, the Iwagakure, which had been quiet for a whole year, actually set out again.

What is even more surprising is that these 1,000 Iwagakure secretly bypassed the northwest border line guarded by Fugaku and quickly arrived at Kannushi Bridge.

The battle broke out extremely suddenly and was extremely brutal.

Even when it happened, Fugaku and others knew almost nothing about it.
-
"Boom!"

A huge rock fell down, pressing the young man with goggles on his forehead and a round fan symbol on his back into it.

After three full breaths, a loud scream was heard.

"Obito!!"

Kakashi, who had grown into a teenager and became a jonin, looked at his companion with wide eyes, lying in front of him, crushed by a huge rock.

Panic, fear, confusion and other emotions flashed through my mind.

"Kakashi~"

Difficult and weak words came out of Obito's mouth.

As he spoke, the ground beneath him was already stained red with blood, and half of his body was crushed by the boulder, leaving a bloody mess.

This is an extremely tragic scene, depicting the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

"Don't, don't talk, I'll rescue you right away."

Kakashi rushed forward and shouted.

But when he reached Obito, he knelt on his knees again, falling into despair and confusion.

Because of the other party's appearance, he had no idea where to start.

"hehe!"

"Don't be sad."

"This eye is my gift to you."

"After I die, you will carry him with you and take good care of this world and Lin for me!"

Suddenly, Obito's voice became fluent and clear.

But this sign made Kakashi shudder all over and become extremely frightened.

"Don't refuse! Kakashi."

"Because this is the only thing I can leave behind!"

At this point, Obito's eyes had lost their luster, and his vision fell into darkness.

"I really envy you!"

"I became his disciple."

"If it weren't for my inferiority complex that day, I wouldn't have left secretly."

"Will fate take a different path?"

Muttered words came out of Obito's mouth, and finally fell into silence.

Kakashi stared at the scene blankly. After a moment, an angry roar tore through the scene.

Then he pulled out his kunai.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered out, and a bloodstain running through his left eye appeared on his originally delicate and handsome face.

When he stood up again, his black and white eyes had turned blood red, and a magatama was slowly rotating in them.

For the entire war, this scene is just a small episode. But for the future of the world, it is the fuse of future wars.

No one knew that the young man who was crushed by the huge rock did not die here, but completely disappeared from this world.

"Tick~"

The water drops fell on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"He is so lucky! He was saved by you."

A voice suddenly sounded.

“Humanity’s kindness and innocence are meant to be smashed and broken during growth!”

"He should see the true darkness of this world!"

A low, cold voice was heard.

"What's our plan?"

Another voice asked.

"The war is almost over."

"Then let's get started!"

"When they go back, the effect won't be so good!"

The old voice said.

"Master Madara, you are truly wise!"

Hearing this, Jue exclaimed in admiration.

Ban had a blank expression on his face and did not answer. He just lowered his head and looked at the boy in front of him, who was almost unconscious and only had half of his body left.

If he were in his prime, he would not allow himself to resort to conspiracy.

But after the last battle, he knew very well that it would be difficult to defeat that man with his current strength alone.

You can only weaken its strength through deployment, and then start your own resurrection plan.

"So, the Uchiha clan?"

Suddenly, Jue's voice came again, with obvious doubt and hesitation.

"You feel."

"Would I care about them?"

Madara said coldly.

"I understand!"

“How cruel!”

Jue said with a smile.

Madara ignored him. He stretched out his hand and began to use Wood Release to fill Obito's lost body tissue to help him recover.
-
The northwest border of Konoha.

When the news came, Fugaku was stunned.

"Where did Iwagakure get the courage to bypass us and go to IU to participate in this year's Konogami no Shibashi?"

Xia Le was also sitting quietly in the tent at this time.

He had just received the news that Obito had died, Kakashi had transplanted his left eye, and after that, Rin also died.

Everything happened very quickly, with almost no difference from the original work.

The strange thing is that I don't feel the slightest bit involved in anything that happens to Kamishiya.

But this is not surprising. Even if he knows all the plots, he can still participate in everything.

Even if it is possible, it is not necessary.

Like everyone else in this world, Xia Le is also a living person in this world.

It is enough to be able to do your own thing well.

However, when facing the child Obito, he still felt a little regretful.

"Ugh!"

After a long time, Xia Le sighed.

Fugaku rarely saw the other party like this: "Are you sighing about the ever-changing battlefield?"

"Obito is a good boy!"

Xia Le said so.

"Obito?"

Fugaku was stunned.

Only then did he remember that in the recent Battle of Kamashiba Bridge, the younger generation of his clan had indeed died.

"The child?"

He murmured.

But in fact, as the clan leader, although he remembered Obito's name, he was not very familiar with it.

"The death of our tribesmen is indeed worthy of lamentation."

Fugaku said softly.

Xia Le shook his head.

His sigh was not because of Obito's death, but because the other party, from that moment on, walked towards the darkness that was opposite to the light.

Simultaneously.

In confusion, Minato Namikaze withdrew from the battlefield and secretly returned to the village.

In his own home, after taking off his armor, he was soon summoned to the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage!"

Minato bowed slightly with a smile on his face.

He was full of questions at the moment, because the war was not over yet, and he was called back to the village at this time, which was obviously a very strange sign.

"Minato, just come back!"

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with a smile.

Then, he frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then spoke.

"What do you think about inheriting the position of Hokage?"

Minato was stunned when he heard this: "The position of Hokage?"

"Now, the one with the highest reputation and the most support in Konoha is you!"

The Third Hokage said with a smile.

"this?"

"Although I have always dreamed of becoming Hokage, it is still a bit surprising that Hokage-sama suddenly told me this!"

Minato said in a somewhat confused tone.

The sudden words did leave him a little confused.

"hehe!"

"You are Jiraiya's disciple, so I won't hide it from you!"

"As the Third Hokage, I have served long enough, and it is time for me to retire."

"Yondaime Hokage, I'm going to let you take over!"

The Third Hokage didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

In fact, he and Danzo had discussed this matter for a long time.

The best way to avoid conflicts within the village is to completely resolve the dispute over the Fourth Hokage before the end of the war.

The Uchiha's restlessness and crazy ambitions will be completely nipped in the bud.

The fait accompli was created, and at that time, no matter what they did, they would have to settle down. At worst, after Minato took over, some of the power within Konoha would be ceded to the other party.

Everything is negotiable, isn't it?
But this matter must be done quickly, accurately, ruthlessly and decisively!
Otherwise, if the other party reacts, it will cause unpredictable losses.

"this?!"

Namikaze Minato was stunned.

"If you agree, we can start preparing for the takeover ceremony right away!"

The Third Hokage said decisively.

Minato's expression changed, and he finally realized that the other party was serious.

For a moment, the golden flash, who was so popular in the limelight, fell silent.

As a civilian genius ninja, he was not a stupid person. In just a blink of an eye, he realized the reason behind this matter.

The Third Hokage did not rush and waited quietly for the answer.

After a long time.

Minato sighed, "I am willing to do my part for the sake of the village and the peace between the Uchiha clan!"

The Third Hokage laughed.

"You're very smart, Minato!"
