Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

The ANBU ninjas left, and half an hour later, five people arrived. Orochimaru was busy with experiments and did not come.

"Everyone, this is Sasori of the Red Sand, grandson of Chiyo of the Sand Village, the Third Kazekage who annihilated the Third Shinobi World War."

Minato Namikaze is also in the late stages of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), perfectly replicating the introduction of Hoshino Hyuga.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with mixed feelings. Sunagakure was on the verge of being wiped out, and it turned out to be because of Chiyo's grandson? Chiyo was indeed an ally.

Mitokado Haru and Utatane Koharu both remained silent, and the reason for this was utterly absurd.

Tsunade had already started laughing uproariously, "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, that old hag Chiyo, hahahaha."

"Minato, is there a plan?"

"I have decided to condemn Sunagakure. Sunagakure attacked my Konoha outposts and started a war without authorization, using the pretext that Konoha had harmed the Third Kazekage."

"Fourth Hokage, Kirigakure is making moves. If we clash with Sunagakure at this time, it could lead to war with them, which would be a greater loss than gain."

"Third Hokage, my mind is made up. If Sunagakure cannot provide a reasonable explanation, I will not hesitate to wage war."

“Old man, Minato is not wrong. It is Sunagakure’s fault. If war begins, I will lead the charge.”

"Jiraiya, are you aware of the village's current financial situation? The village can no longer afford to fight a war."

"Elder Zhuanqin, these are the village's previous account books for the finance and logistics departments."

Minato Namikaze threw out the ledger, and Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's expressions changed. How could they not know whether there were problems with the Ministry of Finance and the Logistics Department?

Chapter 67 The Sarutobi Four Clans, Uchiha, and Hyuga, Depart for the Border

"During my time as Hokage, I reviewed the accounts and discovered that there are some funds in the Finance Department and Logistics Department that have gone missing. Could you three explain this?"

"Fourth Hokage, this matter is my fault. I failed to stop them in time. Therefore, I volunteer to lead the ninjas of the four clans to defend Kirigakure."

"Alright, thank you, Third Generation, for your great understanding."

Jiraiya was troubled. On one side was his mentor, and on the other was his beloved student. He didn't want any conflict between them, but the truth was that his seemingly righteous mentor was not innocent.

The four left, but Tsunade remained in the Hokage's office, waiting for them to depart.

"Minato, how's Hoshino doing?"

"Hoshino-kun is fine, he just went the wrong way, please rest assured, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade slapped Minato Namikaze's shoulder hard, making a loud "thump" sound.

"Thank you, Minato."

"Go and invite the seven clan leaders: Uchiha, Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, and Inuzuka."

Minato Namikaze wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi; he wasn't capable of forcing a powerful fire-style clan like the Uchiha to confront Kirigakure head-on.

In the Naruto world, fire overcomes wind, so when facing Sunagakure, fire-style ninjas should be sent.

Sensing ninjas like Hyuga and Inuzuka can detect the puppeteer's true form.

The Aburame clan controls insects, which can destroy the internal mechanisms of puppets.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio cooperated well, and Minato Namikaze hoped that Shikaku Nara could become the commander-in-chief.

This kind of cooperation gives them an advantage in the battle against Sunagakure.

Two armies of ninja headed towards the border. The Sarutobi clan mobilized a total of four thousand ninjas. Minato Namikaze felt a chill in his heart; this was leeching off Konoha's blood to develop his own clan.

It should be noted that even the seven clans, including the Uchiha, only managed to gather a little over two thousand ninjas. The remaining hundreds of ninjas were from smaller clans and some commoner ninjas.

Minato Namikaze may be young, but he is not ignorant and could not possibly ignore the actions of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other three.

Minato Namikaze stood on the Hokage Rock, his fists clenched, warning himself that this was the last time.

The Uchiha clan was quite excited. If it were during Hiruzen Sarutobi's time, they would most likely have gone to Kirigakure.

The Uchiha clan craves war because it can enhance their strength and bring them honor, rather than fighting recklessly despite being at a disadvantage.

Minato Namikaze's actions indicate that he does not reject the Uchiha clan, and that the Uchiha clan has a promising future.

Konoha issued a proclamation rebuking Sunagakure, causing a stir in the ninja world.

Iwagakure Village, Tsuchikage Office.

Upon receiving the intelligence, Onoki sneered, "Foolish old woman Chiyo."

"Huang Tu, announce this: the whole village is ready for war."

"Yes, Father."

"I've told you countless times, you must call me Lord Tsuchikage."

"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage."

Onoki shook his head. As his son, Hirotsuchi was quite strong, but unfortunately, he was not suitable to become the Tsuchikage.

Fortunately, he still has his granddaughter Kurotsuchi and his son Deidara, both exceptionally talented. So, he's not facing a lack of successors.

Cloud Hidden Village, Raikage's office.

Raikage A laughed heartily, mocking the disunity within Sunagakure; he believed such a thing would never happen in Kumogakure.

Furthermore, he saw an opportunity: if Konoha were to fight on two fronts with Sunagakure and Kirigakure, wouldn't Kumogakure be able to take a bite out of Konoha?

"Mabui, the whole village is ready for battle."

"Yes."

Sand Hidden Village, Kazekage's office.

When Rasa received the denunciation letter from Konoha, the veins on his forehead throbbed with anger, lamenting that he had failed in his duty to raise his grandson.

Chiyo arrived at the Kazekage's office and read the manifesto word by word. Chiyo's old body trembled.

Out of consideration for Chiyo's status as a veteran of Sunagakure, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, only listed Sasori of the Red Sand as missing, rather than declaring him a traitor to the village.

Chiyo hadn't expected that Sasori, with his strength at the time, would be no match for the Fourth Kazekage in a direct confrontation.

Therefore, after the Third Kazekage disappeared, no one would suspect Sasori of the Red Sand.

"Lord Kazekage, it is my fault for not teaching my grandson properly. I am willing to take responsibility. I only hope that, in consideration of my many years of service to Sunagakure, Lord Kazekage, you will redeem Sasori of the Red Sand after my death."

Chiyo raised her kunai and aimed it at her heart, but Rasa snorted coldly and her gold sand transformed into a giant hand, slapping the kunai away from Chiyo's hand.

"Since Konoha wants an explanation, we will give them one. Maki, issue the order: prepare for battle throughout the village."

Rasa felt a little guilty. He knew best that Sunagakure had suffered repeated blows in the war and was now powerless to deal with Konoha's attack.

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Office.

Behind the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Obito Uchiha appeared, and the reactions of the various villages were reported by White Zetsu.

Madara Uchiha's plan, besides reviving himself, only had two key objectives: collecting the tailed beasts.

After Madara Uchiha died, Obito Uchiha inherited Madara's identity. In addition to these two points, he also sought revenge against Konoha and Kirigakure.

Ideally, this could trigger another Shinobi World War, weakening the strength of each village and making it easier for Obito Uchiha to collect the Tailed Beasts later.

The ninja world is now in chaos, which is exactly what Obito Uchiha wanted.

The Nine-Tails' attack didn't achieve the effect Obito Uchiha hoped for, but the current situation is not bad.

However, all of this was driven by Hinata Hoshino, that evil brat.

"Hey, Tu Zi, missed me?"

A hand silently landed on Uchiha Obito's shoulder. If it were before, Uchiha Obito would probably be breakdancing, shaking all over, and loudly scolding Hyuga Hoshino.

Now, Obito Uchiha only trembled slightly as a familiar and cheerful voice came from behind him. This speed was even faster than Cao Cao's.

"Ah"

With a cold snort that had no clear meaning, Obito Uchiha did not turn around to look at Hoshino Hyuga.

“Hyuga clan brat, call me Uchiha Madara.”

"You're the one who decides."

"You did a good job, successfully stirring up chaos in the ninja world."

"Thank you for the compliment, boss. I wonder when you will fulfill your promise to me about having a whole battalion of godfathers."

"I'll count as one."

Patient: Uchiha Obito

Symptoms: Deep Jade Syndrome

Attending Physician: Hinata Hoshino

In summary: The patient is in good condition and can even joke around now.

Silently writing down Obito Uchiha's medical record in his mind, Hyuga Hoshino's patient, one more successful.

"Tu Zi seems to be doing well."

He ruffled Yagura's hair. He was already in his thirties, his kids were all grown up, but he just hadn't grown taller, and his face didn't look old. So many people would envy that.

"This is hell, but some people are being deceived."

"So, Brother Tu, you're the Grim Reaper?"

"It can be."

"Brother Tu, are you planning to start a war? Does Master Yuan agree?"

"Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. Fish can't stop the waves; they can only go with the flow."

"Ha, that's a funny joke, please continue."

Obito Uchiha was the fish on the chopping block. He had Madara Uchiha's curse mark in his heart, and he also had "Pangolin" Black Zetsu by his side. He was a double agent for Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Let's go, Brother Tu."

Obito Uchiha did not reply. Sensing that Hoshino Hyuga had left, his tense body relaxed.

He had met Hinata Hoshino a total of three times, and the pressure he felt each time was greater than the last.
