Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

Only two years after the end of the Third World War, undercurrents began to surge in the ninja world again.

The Fourth Mizukage died inexplicably in the Hidden Mist Village. There were rumors that it was Uchiha who did it, which made people in the ninja world smell the scent of war again.

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage, which led to the outbreak of the Third Ninja World War, is still vivid in our minds.

Just as all parties were waiting for Kirigakure's next act of revenge, the newly appointed Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, sent an invitation for peace talks to Konoha, hoping to end the hostility between the two major ninja villages since the Third World War.

This brought a sigh of relief to the people of the Water Country, who had been devastated by the war.

When the Daimyo of the Land of Water heard the news, he agreed with both hands. The war prevented the goods of the Land of Water from entering the Land of Fire, and the nobles suffered heavy losses in their business.

The daimyo was under a lot of pressure, so as soon as Mei Terumi proposed the initiative, he wrote a letter to his cousins ​​in the Land of Fire, expressing his desire to contribute to the construction of the Konoha Village and asking them to convey his message.

Kato Makoto had no objection. The Water Country was so welcoming and polite, so he entrusted his teacher Danzo to lead the team to negotiate with the representative master of Kirigakure.

With the intervention of the Yami Shinobi, the Hidden Mist and the Land of Water will have to bleed heavily.

Public is public, private is private. He will not be lenient towards Kirigakure and Water Kingdom just because of Mei Terumi.

However, Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who were looking forward to the fight between Kirigakure and Konoha, were not in such a good mood.

"Isn't it said that the ninjas that emerge from the blood mist are the most brutal? Why are you so cowardly now?"

In the Raikage's office, the Fourth-Kage Ai slapped a steel handrail and made a dent.

First it was Sunagakure. Ever since that Shokujuu Shiki took control of the military, the Wind Country has been like a sleeping cat. No matter how windy and thunderous the River Country and the Rain Country are, it can't be woken up.

Ye Cang, who was tough on foreign countries during the Third World War, seemed like a different person, and only cared about his own little piece of land in the Kingdom of Wind.

The same is true in Kirigakure now. A female Mizukage came up and showed weakness to Konoha as soon as she took the stage.

The news he received was clearly that Yagura was controlled by the Sharingan, and then died in the village somehow.

According to normal thinking, shouldn't you go to Konoha to ask for an explanation? Why are you still thinking about peace talks with Konoha?

"It is a foregone conclusion that the Wind Country and the Water Country will compromise with Konoha. For now, it is more appropriate to consider a way out for the Lightning Country."

Tutai was sitting in a wheelchair, with Ma Buyi standing behind him, pushing his wheelchair.

The fight with Sarutobi Shinnosuke left his legs severely burned, and he has been unable to touch the ground ever since.

"That old guy Ohnoki instigated me to fight Konoha, and he wanted to reap the benefits. He is hard to trust."

The fourth generation Ai understood what Dodai meant. The previous handwritten letter to Ōnoki was written at the suggestion of Dodai.

The effect was good. The Five-Tails Jinchuriki plus the One Thousand Rock Ninja at least made the Konoha garrison in the Land of Rice dare not act rashly.

As a result, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's advancement speed slowed down a lot, not as exaggerated as the previous ten cities in one day.

However, Iwagakure's restraining effect only ended there, and Ōnoki was obviously waiting for Kumogakure's next move.

"Then we should first protect the interests of Kumogakure in the Land of Hot Springs, and then slowly talk to Iwagakure."

Dodai knew that the Fourth Generation Ai had a grudge against Ōnoki. His father died because of the latter, so who wouldn't have complaints?

If he had not been in the position of Raikage and had not had to consider the development of the village, with the bloodiness of the Fourth Generation Ai, I am afraid he would have shouted "I swear to never reconcile with this old thief."

The third generation of Ai was also deeply indebted to Dodai. If he had a choice, he would not cooperate with Iwagakure.

However, the Fire Nation's biggest enemies in the east and south were all suppressed and subdued. Cloud Village and Konoha would not have a good ending if they fought alone. Only by joining forces with Iwagakure, which was also bullied by Konoha, would they have a chance to turn the tables.

"Then let's deal with the affairs of the Land of Hot Springs first. I have asked the Yuzuki people to speed up their progress. They should have reached Kitakami River by now."

Seeing that Tutai no longer insisted, the Fourth Generation Ai breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the map on the wall, and told Tutai the arrangements for his recovery.

Kitakami River is the dividing line between the mountains and hilly plains in the eastern part of Yunokuni. Occupying this place allows one to overlook the southern plains. It is a strategic location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The fact was just as the Fourth Generation Ai had expected. The Yuzuki people led the elite Shadow Guards and rushed eastward at lightning speed. They walked through the mountains as if they were walking on flat ground, and reached Kitakami River in less than a month.

It was also here that the Cloud Ninja team encountered the Uchiha coming from the east.

Two afterimages flew over the rock wall, and in a blink of an eye they arrived at a high hill, and instantly landed behind the teak man standing on the edge of the cliff.

"Master Yuzuki, our people have occupied the north shore."

The Two-Tails Jinchuriki has beautiful golden hair tied into a ponytail and draped behind his head. The Kumogakure armor outlines his graceful curves. His big eyes are bright and lively, and he exudes a heroic spirit.

"Hmph, Konoha's speed is faster than expected. It is said that the Sharingan can restrain the tailed beasts. I want to see if the rumors are true today."

Yuzuki stood on a high hill and could clearly see a group of ninjas wearing Konoha's standard vests spreading out on the south bank of the Kitakami River, facing the Cloud Ninjas across the river, from a distance of thousands of meters.

"Sir, Lord Raikage told us to focus on defending the territory of the Kingdom of Hot Springs. Should we first scout out the enemy's military strength before taking action?"

After hearing the murderous words of the Yuzuki man, the two Shadow Guard squad leaders looked at each other and decided to make suggestions to the arrogant Yuzuki man.

The fourth generation of Ai chose them to follow because he valued their relatively stable personalities and that they could remind the Yuzu people at critical moments.

"Territory? If the Uchiha don't have the strength to match mine, then they don't deserve to be separated from us. There is not an inch of land in the Land of Hot Springs that belongs to the Uchiha."

After saying this, the hard rock under the feet of the teak man shattered and his figure instantly disappeared from the high hill.

On the south bank of the Kitakami River, Uchiha Fugaku stood on the shore with his hands folded. Uchiha Yashiro rushed back from the other side and came to him without even taking a sip of water.

"Kumogakure refused to negotiate with us, and the two Yuzuki asked me to give you this letter."

Yashiro took out the letter and handed it to the Uchiha clan leader, who took it, opened it and saw only one word.

"Patriarch, do we need to continue the contact?"

Yashiro saw that Fugaku, who already had a miserable look on his face, became even gloomier after reading the letter, and asked hurriedly in a low voice.

"No need, you take your people and set up camp, I have more important things to do."

When Fugaku said this, three red magatama appeared, and his sight spanned the hundred-meter-wide river and looked far away at the other side.

At the same time, a wild and violent red chakra beam rose on the north bank, and the surging water in the river became turbulent, splashing onto the shallows on the shore and soaking Fugaku's ninja tabi.

The tailed beast's chakra burst came and went quickly. It was so powerful and disappeared the next moment. The ninjas felt like they were dreaming.

But Uchiha Fugaku's eye power exceeded three magatama, and he could clearly see the figure covered with red tailed beast chakra. The two Yuzuki people were rushing to a canyon downstream.

This is to lead him over.

"If you want to fight, then fight."

Caught between his family and the village, and suppressed by Minato Namikaze and Makoto Kato, he dared not even reveal his Mangekyō. Uchiha Fugaku almost forgot that he had the warlike blood of the Uchiha people.

A junior from a rival ninja village dared to draw his sword against him and challenge him to a one-on-one battle upon first meeting.

This vigorous attitude brought back Fugaku's distant memories. At that time, he was still a genius praised by his father as having the potential to become Hokage.

Handing the letter in his hand back to Yashiro, Uchiha Fugaku raised the corners of his mouth, revealing the Uchiha's iconic smile.

"Two-tailed Jinchūriki, using you as a scapegoat is not an insult to the Uchiha's divine power."
