The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 38 It's all Hiruzen Sarutobi's fault, that old beast!

"Report: Six Kirigakure ninja have been spotted on the east coast. The leader is Kirigakure Jonin Ao. Lord Shisui has already gone to intercept them."

The urgent knocking on the door broke the romantic atmosphere in the room.

Uchiha Mitsunori's hand rested on Uzumaki Megumi's smooth back.

The two had just finished a vigorous "carrot pulling" exercise, and their sweat had not yet dried.

The game was suddenly interrupted, and a crimson glint flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes as his three-tomoe Sharingan manifested on its own, clearly indicating his extreme anger.

He forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Assemble the God and Demon Brigade; we'll surround and intercept them!"

Feeling Huiyi's body tremble slightly in his arms, he lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

"I'm going out with them for a bit, I'll be back later. You should get some rest!"

Knowing that dissuasion was useless, Huiyi simply nodded gently: "Be careful."

After saying that, she crawled into bed. Today, she had almost exhausted her chakra and energy by performing eye transplant surgery on twelve people.

Uchiha Mitsunori dressed quietly, deliberately slamming the door shut. The moment he turned around, the tenderness on his face vanished, replaced by the cold sternness characteristic of a battlefield commander.

Outside the courtyard, thirty-five members of the God and Demon team were already lined up neatly.

Under the moonlight, the Uchiha clan crest on their backs shone brightly, and each of them activated their Sharingan, the crimson reflection making them appear like a group of death gods in the night.

"Target: the Hidden Mist ninja on the east coast, move out!"

At Uchiha Sanfeng's command, more than thirty figures vanished into the night like ghosts.

This afternoon, Kirigakure dispatched more than 50 elite Kirigakure ANBU to escort the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Nohara Rin, with plans to cause trouble in Nansha City.

With over 50 elite Anbu members and tailed beasts missing, it's no wonder the Kirigakure leadership is panicking, which is why they sent Ao to gather intelligence.

Thinking of Ao, a Jonin from Kirigakure, who possessed the Byakugan of the Hyuga main branch, Uchiha Sanfeng wanted to collect it and study it.

Meanwhile, in the dense forests of the east coast, six Hidden Mist ninjas were moving rapidly.

Two Hidden Mist ninjas suddenly collapsed to the ground, clutching their heads, their faces contorted in terror, as if they were witnessing the worst nightmare.

"They've fallen under an illusion!"

"Eye roll"

Ao, a Jonin from Kirigakure, activated his Byakugan and scanned his surroundings.

In the distance, two shadow clones were hidden in the bushes, and there was also a person on a tree with green chakra flowing around his eyes. This special chakra was Konoha's "Shisui of the Body Flicker".

Upon seeing Uchiha Shisui, Kirigakure Jonin Ao broke out in a cold sweat and said, "We have no choice but to abandon the mission. The person on the other side is Konoha's Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique. We are no match for him. Retreat!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining three Hidden Mist ninjas carried their two teammates, who were under the influence of genjutsu, and used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

Perched atop a tree, Uchiha Shisui deactivated his Sharingan and murmured, "This should keep them quiet for a while!"

But the matter wasn't over. Uchiha Mitsumine waved his hand and shouted, "Catch them! Don't let them get away!"

Upon receiving the order, the members of the God and Demon team began throwing kunai and shuriken in an attempt to stop the six members of the Hidden Mist Village.

A sudden whooshing sound arose! Dozens of kunai and shuriken attacked from all directions, drawing deadly arcs in the air.

As soon as Ao, a Jonin from Kirigakure, leaped into the air, he formed hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall".

A wall several meters high erupted from the ground, blocking part of the kunai and shuriken.

However, the members of the God and Demon team are all elites among the Uchiha clan. The kunai and shuriken they throw can collide with each other in mid-air, thus constantly changing the angle of attack.

As a result, many kunai and shuriken bypassed the water wall and attacked the Hidden Mist ninja hiding behind it.

Two screams rang out as two Hidden Mist ninjas were stabbed in the feet with kunai and shuriken.

The Hidden Mist Jonin, Ao, gritted his teeth and ordered, "The enemy outnumbers us. Abandon the wounded. Every one who can escape is a chance."

His heart was bleeding; these were his elite soldiers who had followed him for many years!

After saying that, he abandoned his teammates and ran away...

The figure of Uchiha Mitsunaga appeared like a ghost on the treetop beside Shisui, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Trying to escape? Not a chance!"

Uchiha Shisui frowned and said, "The war has gone on for so long, enough people have died. They are no longer a threat. Why continue this pointless fighting?"

"Bang!"

Uchiha Mitsumine delivered a heavy punch to Uchiha Shisui's stomach, causing Shisui to bend over in pain.

"Snap!"

Then, he was slapped hard across the right cheek.

These two sudden attacks left Uchiha Shisui somewhat bewildered, causing him to fall directly from the tree.

Uchiha Mitsunaga looked down at him from his high vantage point and roared, "Your 3000 men fought against the Hidden Mist forces, and over 2000 died. Kuma Castle and Shiratori Castle were looted by the Hidden Mist Village, and tens of thousands of Fire Country civilians were killed or wounded... What makes you think this was a meaningless fight?"

After he finished cursing, he still felt unsatisfied.

He leaped down from the treetop, grabbed Uchiha Shisui by the collar, and said, "Or is it that in your eyes, these people's lives are utterly insignificant? No matter how many of these ants die, it won't stir the slightest ripple in your heart?"

"I...I...have never...thought that way...?"

Uchiha Shisui's right cheek was throbbing painfully, so much so that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Moreover, every word from Uchiha Sanfeng felt like a knife stabbing into his heart.

He thought of his comrades who died on the battlefield, and the civilians slaughtered by the Hidden Mist Ninja... He had never taken any life lightly, and that was why he longed for peace even more.

Uchiha Shisui struggled to speak: "I...never..."

"Shut up! Your naivety will kill even more people!" Uchiha Mitsunori abruptly released his grip.

He turned to the team members and ordered, "Chase them! Don't let a single one escape!"

Watching the Uchiha elites scatter and pursue, Shisui closed his eyes in anguish.

His ideals and the hatred of his people formed a stark contrast at this moment, and this sense of rift almost suffocated him.

"Ah, it's all Hiruzen Sarutobi's fault, that old beast, sending you young children to the battlefield. You're only nine years old this year, it's normal that you can't distinguish right from wrong. Shisui, you need to know: excessive tolerance is condoning evil people; kindness without principles is foolishness."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought.

"If we don't punish the ninjas of Kirigakure, it's tantamount to encouraging them to plunder again, which will only lead to more deaths. Therefore, we must severely punish these invaders, make them feel the pain, and let them know that plundering is wrong. Only in this way can we stop the war and save more lives..."
