Konoha: Uchiha's Gorgeous Rebellion

"Hmph, Sunagakure really has a good idea."

Uchiha Awakening sneered as he put down the scroll.

According to Yekura on the scroll, Sunagakure suffered heavy losses in the Third Shinobi World War, and therefore entered the Land of Rivers under the pretext of intervening in the internal strife of the Land of Rivers to plunder in order to make up for the losses of Sunagakure.

These desperate Sunagakure soldiers launched a fierce offensive after entering the Land of Rivers, putting great pressure on the navy stationed there.

"These days have been too boring, so let me change my identity and fight Sunagakure again."

A glint flashed in Uchiha Gen's eyes, and he muttered to himself with a playful smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Gen formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone. He exchanged a glance with the shadow clone, nodded, and then his figure flashed away from the stronghold.

The land of rivers, the town of Sanchuan.

This place is where three major rivers converge. These rivers brought a large number of merchants to the area, making Sanchuan Town a prosperous and wealthy place.

Now, the wealth here has attracted the attention of Sunagakure, and a 100-strong ninja force has appeared outside Mikawa Town.

"Haha, the town of Sanchuan ahead is famously wealthy. This harvest will surely make the village very satisfied."

One of the Sand Ninjas charging at the front grinned and laughed.

"Don't let your guard down, those navy men are still quite troublesome."

A Sand Ninja puppeteer with face painted spoke up.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash who can't even master ninjutsu dare to use justice as a pretext."

A Sand Ninja with several scars on his face and a fierce expression roared angrily.

His right arm was injured and bandaged; it had been hit by a naval musket not long ago.

Suddenly, several thunderous explosions rang out from Sanchuan Town; immediately afterward, several iron bullets whistled and crashed into the Sand Ninja troops.

"Watch out! It's those naval bastards' artillery."

Amidst shouts, the Sand Ninja scattered in all directions.

After entering the Land of Rivers, the Sand Ninja had already engaged in numerous battles with the Marines. Initially, the Sand Ninja suffered heavy losses when faced with the Marines' firearms, as if they had been hit over the head with a blunt object.

However, they quickly discovered a way to deal with naval firearms: they could easily dodge their attacks by moving at high speeds and shifting positions.

Although the cast iron shells did not hit any of the Sand Ninja, they did disrupt the Sand Ninja's formation.

Immediately afterwards, another dark figure flew out from Sanchuan Town.

They were hand grenades.

Boom boom boom!

The intense explosion forced the Sand Ninja to retreat, and when they landed, a group of Marines appeared in front of them.

"Sunagakure ninja, halt ahead."

A burly man stood at the forefront of the group of navy soldiers and spoke loudly, a white cloak with the word "Justice" on it fluttering in the wind behind him.

Looking at the marines, the puppeteer leading this Sand Ninja force sneered, "You bunch of marine scum think you can stop us? Hahaha, what a joke."

The next second, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a scroll, and unrolled it.

boom!

A giant spider-shaped puppet appeared, followed by a loudspeaker. The spider puppet opened its mouth, and a metal tube extended from it.

The next second, a cold glint appeared, and countless steel needles shot out from the metal tube.

Faced with a dense barrage of steel needles, the sailors scattered and leaped into the air; however, many were still hit by the needles.

The sailors struck by the steel needles fell one after another, and their wounds quickly turned blue and black, with eerie black lines rapidly spreading across their bodies. These steel needles were coated with a deadly poison.

In an instant, the two sides began a fierce battle.

Inside the town of Sanchuan, Uchiha Gen stood on a rooftop, watching the battle between the Marines and the Sand Ninja.

"The battle between the Navy and the Sand Ninja must be very difficult for you, Pakura."

Uchiha Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, a complex expression appeared on Yekura's face as she stood to the left of Uchiha Gen. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "I am very disappointed in Rasa. Sunagakure should be recuperating now, not starting another war."

"Haha."

Uchiha Gen chuckled twice, then said, "I think Rasa did the right thing."

Upon hearing this, Yecang looked at Uchiha Yuan in surprise.

"Most of the Land of Wind is desert and resource-poor; now the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has stopped funding Sunagakure."

Therefore, Rasa's idea of ​​plundering the Land of Rivers to replenish Sunagakure was not wrong.

Because this is the reality of the ninja world: the strong prey on the weak.

Rasa's only mistake was not anticipating that the Land of Rivers possessed our navy.

Uchiha Yuan said.

"We need to end this pointless war as soon as possible."

Ye Cang said.

She was well aware of the Navy's strength; the Sand Ninja probably couldn't defeat them, and the final outcome would likely be the Sand Ninja's defeat.

"No, I think this war is a great opportunity; the navy won't stay holed up in the land of rivers forever."

Uchiha Gen gazed intently at the Marines and Sand Villagers locked in battle, then said, "Sunagakure is a very good whetstone. After all, Sunagakure is one of the Five Great Nations, and the experience of fighting against them will help the Marines when facing the other four nations in the future."

"I understand."

Yecang nodded, then said with a determined look, "Yuan-kun, perhaps we can take advantage of this war to allow the Navy's forces to penetrate deep into the Land of Wind, until we completely conquer the Land of Wind."

In Yekura's view, joining the Navy is the best option for the future of Sunagakure.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen nodded slightly, then looked towards the battlefield outside Sanchuan Town.

At this moment, the Sand Village was already showing signs of weakness, constantly retreating under the Navy's offensive; the only thing that could cause trouble for the Navy was the puppeteers' puppets.

These puppets have hard bodies that are impervious to slashing, and they are equipped with multiple sharp blades. They completely ignore defense when attacking, so one puppet can often hold off several navy personnel.

Boom boom boom!

In the violent explosion, several puppets were destroyed; the Sand Ninja's formation was immediately exposed with a huge flaw.

“I have a feeling that those grenades will change the future of wars in the ninja world; Yuan-kun, it seems that you have already realized this.”

Looking at the puppet destroyed by the grenade, Ye Cang said with some emotion.

In her eyes, grenades were just another kind of 'explosive tag', and far less portable than explosive tags.

"Ordinary people in the ninja world have always been afraid of ninjas, and in their eyes, ninjas are monsters; the advent of firearms gave ordinary people the power to turn their swords against ninjas."

Currently, firearms only pose a threat to ninjas below the rank of Jonin.

Uchiha Yuan said.

Because of ninjas, the mainstream research in the ninja world is the application and development of chakra; however, other technological discoveries and inventions have also occurred.

Having traveled through time, Uchiha Awakening naturally understood the importance of science and technology; therefore, the Navy has been recruiting various scientific and technological talents over the years, and the invention of the hand grenade is one of them.

Boom!

A huge explosion rang out, and the giant spider puppet was smashed to pieces.

Seeing this, the Sand Ninja's fighting spirit completely collapsed, and they all began to retreat.

Behind the battlefield, a navy man was carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder. He was the one who had just fired a rocket that shattered the spider puppet.
