The Uchiha Clan's Sun

He's going to win this battle!

Ai secretly gathered his chakra, then suddenly looked at a spot not far to his left, his eyes gleaming!

"Got you!"

Chapter 4 Illusion!

"Come out here! Righteous Thunder, Wrathful Thunder Axe!"

Ai leaped high into the air and landed heavily with another downward kick!

With a loud 'boom', the ground within a radius of tens of meters beneath Ai's feet cracked open, and Uchiha Jin's figure leaped out from the rubble!

"Lei Dou Ninja encounters the Toto Reiki Sword!"

A pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit, his figure flashed and disappeared without giving Uchiha Jin a chance to react. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Uchiha Jin and threw a punch!

"instant!"

Uchiha Jin's expression turned solemn as flames erupted beneath his feet, causing his figure to rise rapidly!

It's now!

A glint flashed in Ai's eyes as he abruptly pulled back his fist, which was halfway out, and changed his move on the spot!

"Thunder-torture level Chiyomai!"

Ai leaped high into the air, his hand crackling with electricity as it coalesced into a lightning blade!

Uchiha Jin's Body Flicker Technique is limited to linear movement, so as long as you catch him in the gap between his first step and the second step before he lands, you can't change his trajectory!

This short step is the key to victory or defeat!

"Oh!"

Ai's lightning-streaked hand struck Uchiha Jin's waist, but there was no blood splattering as expected!

Uchiha Jin's body exploded into a ball of flames again!

"A fire clone?!" Ai was stunned for a moment, then immediately dismissed it, "Impossible! This is definitely the real body!"

Although Uchiha Jin exploded into flames again, the feel of this one was completely different from the fire clone he had just created!

Moreover, although Uchiha Jin's body exploded into flames this time, the flames did not show any signs of dissipating. Instead, they trapped his hand in the flames!

Ai trusts his own judgment!

"Is it an illusion?"

Ai realized that Uchiha Jin was the real person.

You should know that the Uchiha clan is an extremely skilled family in genjutsu. Their Sharingan can trap people in genjutsu with just a glance!

This bug-like ability even led to the saying in the ninja world that 'if you encounter an Uchiha ninja in a one-on-one fight, you will definitely run away!'

While this statement isn't absolute, it's enough to illustrate the formidable skill of the Uchiha clan ninjas!

After all, it's inevitable that you'll make eye contact with your opponent during a battle!

In a one-on-one situation, one wrong move and you could fall into an illusion and be at the mercy of your opponent!

In a situation where there are many against one, the Uchiha clan ninjas cannot allow everyone to fall into genjutsu at the same time. They can help each other to break the genjutsu in order to have a chance of winning!

This is also one of the reasons why Uchiha Jin entrusted the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee to Minato Namikaze to deal with!

Although the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the nemesis of tailed beasts, Killer Bee is a perfect Jinchuriki, which makes them a two-person team, so they can make King Uchiha's genjutsu less effective!

Ai never let down his guard against Uchiha Jin's genjutsu. From the very beginning of the battle, he never looked directly into Uchiha Jin's eyes, relying solely on Uchiha Jin's body to catch his movements!

If that's the case, when did he fall under the illusion?

But if it's not an illusion, how do you explain the scene before us?

"This is elementalization!"

Just as Ai was racking her brains, Uchiha Jin's magnetic voice came from beside her ear!

Ai subconsciously turned her head and met a pair of scarlet eyes!

Got it!

Ai knew something was wrong. The next moment, his body stiffened, and his consciousness appeared in a black and red space, where he was pinned in mid-air by several large iron nails and could not move!

"Magic: The Art of the Flail!"

In the real world, Uchiha Jin's figure slowly solidified, one hand pressing on A's head, strengthening the binding force of the genjutsu!

Indeed, illusions are the most effective way to capture enemies alive!

When A first converted the power of 'Righteous Lightning Axe' into speed, Uchiha Jin realized that A had seen through part of his Fire Release chakra mode!

From the very beginning, Uchiha Jin had no intention of killing A in this battle; he only wanted to capture him alive.

So Uchiha Jin took advantage of A's moment of complacency, when A thought he had seen through his abilities and let his guard down, to use his elemental transformation to disrupt A's thoughts and then cast a genjutsu!

The so-called elementalization is to transform the body into natural elements in order to achieve the effect of immunity to attacks!

This is the power that the Flame-Flame Fruit granted to King Uchiha.

In the world of One Piece, the elemental transformation of Logia-type Devil Fruits is an almost unbeatable ability!

Only by mastering Haki can one touch the physical form of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user! Those who don't know Haki don't even have the right to be enemies with Logia-type Devil Fruit users! (PS: Except for the protagonist!)

Even when facing a powerful opponent, Logia-type Devil Fruit users can transform their bodies into elements in advance to change their size and avoid the impending attack!

Perhaps because both Haki and Chakra originate from physical strength, Uchiha Jin discovered that even his elemental transformation could not protect him from damage caused by attacks containing Chakra!

However, using elemental transformation to avoid attacks in advance is still an option!

If used well, this ability can be enough to decide the outcome of a battle!

Just like now!

Uchiha Jin exhaled a long breath, closed the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes, and hoisted the unconscious A onto his shoulder.

In a few flashes, Uchiha Jin brought A back to the location of Minato's team.

The battle here is long over!

With A, the fast-moving ninja, no longer able to restrain him, Minato Namikaze's abilities were fully unleashed!

In the entire Cloud Village team, only Killer Bee could exchange a few blows with Minato Namikaze; the rest of the Cloud Village ninja were no match for him!

Not to mention that Inuzuka Jacques and Akimichi Touto, members of Minato's team, are all Konoha Jonin!

With their help, Killer Bee was sealed away by Minato Namikaze before he could even fully transform into a tailed beast!

"ember!"

Minato Namikaze and the others immediately spotted the approaching King Uchiha.

"I've temporarily controlled him with genjutsu, but just to be on the safe side, you should seal his chakra!"

Uchiha Jin threw A to the ground and said to Namikaze Minato.

"understand!"

Minato Namikaze nodded, quickly forming hand seals, and five balls of chakra flames ignited on his five fingers in turn!

"Five Elements Seal!"

Minato Namikaze crouched down and struck A's navel with his palm, leaving five tomoe-shaped runes on A's lower abdomen, sealing the chakra within A's body!

Minato Namikaze wiped his sweat, stood up, and said, "I just used up too much chakra to seal the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, so I can only temporarily use the Five Elements Seal to disrupt his chakra output!"

"Although the Five Elements Seal cannot completely sever the connection between him and the chakra within his body, he is now unable to use any techniques!"

“That’s enough!” Uchiha Jin nodded and said, “We can put the restraints on him after we get back to the village!”

"That way, the war can end!"

As Uchiha Jin spoke, a smile appeared on his face, and the expressions on the faces of Namikaze Minato and the others also softened!

This war has lasted for nearly eight years, and it is finally coming to an end!

Chapter 5: The Unique Cloud Hermit!

Several years ago, the Sand Village of the Land of Wind launched a war under the pretext of the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, in order to turn internal conflicts into external ones!

The first to be affected is Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, a place with fertile land and abundant resources!

The two sides initially engaged in small-scale probing along the border, which gradually escalated into a large-scale war!

During this period, both Iwagakure in the Land of Earth and Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning were also restless and launched wars against Konoha after seizing the opportunity!

At that time, Konoha was under unprecedented pressure. It had to face the three great powers outside the village while also balancing the power of the major clans within the village. It had to send out almost all of the village's available fighting forces!

Fortunately, the notorious troublemaker, Kumogakure, was very helpful. First, they launched a sneak attack on Sunagakure and then stabbed Iwagakure in the back, giving Konoha a chance to catch its breath!

Taking advantage of Sunagakure's weakness, the mutual restraint between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and the actions of Minato Namikaze, Konoha swiftly defeated Sunagakure, forcing it to sign a ceasefire agreement!

At the same time, Konoha destroyed Iwagakure's supply lines and crushed Iwagakure's front-line troops, rendering Iwagakure unable to launch a large-scale war in the short term!

The war has reached this point, and the situation is clear!

Just as Konoha was celebrating the imminent end of the war, Kumogakure unexpectedly turned around and stabbed Konoha in the back!

Kumogakure suffered losses at the hands of Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

First, their sneak attack was discovered by Sunagakure, but they managed to repel them with a well-planned strategy. Then, while trying to outflank Iwagakure, they were ambushed, and even the Third Raikage died at the hands of Iwagakure!

Then the Hidden Cloud Village decided to attack the Hidden Leaf Village!

This result must have left the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, completely baffled as to what was going on in the heads of these brutes from Kumogakure!

What caught Konoha off guard was that Kirigakure, the Hidden Mist Village, the Land of Water, which had been dormant among the Five Great Nations of the Shinobi World, launched a war against Konoha at this time!

Konoha has once again been dragged into a desperate situation!

Although Iwagakure is temporarily unable to launch a large-scale war against Konoha, it has not been crippled and still has a large number of ninjas available for deployment, ready to reignite the war at any time!

Konoha must deploy heavy troops along the border between the two sides to guard against any unforeseen events!

Although Sunagakure has signed a ceasefire agreement with Konoha, it is actually just a worthless piece of paper with no deterrent effect!

If Sunagakure sees an opportunity, they could break the agreement at any time and declare war on Konoha again!

Therefore, Konoha also needs to deploy a certain number of troops along the border with Sunagakure!

In addition to the war with Kumogakure, Konoha was already unable to spare any troops to deal with the attack from Kirigakure of the Land of Water!

With no other options, the Konoha leadership had no choice but to turn their attention to the two major Konoha clans they had always been wary of: the Uchiha and Hyuga clans!

Both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans are powerful clans in Konoha!

Their formidable strength and strict clan system have always been deeply feared by the Konoha leadership!

In particular, the Uchiha clan's unruly nature has always made them a target of the Konoha leadership, who are deeply influenced by the Second Hokage's ideas!

The reason why the Konoha leadership did not want members of the Uchiha clan to go to the battlefield was twofold: firstly, they wanted to isolate them, and secondly, they wanted to prevent members of the Uchiha clan from entering the core circle of power in Konoha through their military achievements!

Secondly, the Sharingan, the bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, is extremely special. It can be awakened due to emotional fluctuations, thus increasing their strength!

There are far too many life-and-death separations on the battlefield!

Therefore, while others may become weaker as they fight, the Uchiha clan may become stronger as they fight!

After all, those who survive war are truly hardened!

The Uchiha clan may decrease in number after the war, but at the same time, it will experience a leap in quality!

Just like in this war, two members of the Uchiha clan awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan!

Any one of them is worth a thousand troops!

Under such circumstances, the Konoha leadership naturally wanted to prevent the Uchiha clan from joining the battle as much as possible!

However, the declaration of war by Kirigakure had pushed Konoha's leadership to the brink of desperation, leaving them no choice but to utilize the Uchiha clan and send them to the border to defend against Kirigakure's invasion!

Throughout the Third Shinobi World War, the other four great nations fought intermittently, while Konoha kept fighting against different opponents!

For nearly eight years, the entire Konoha village was exhausted, both physically and mentally!

And now the war is finally coming to an end!
