Looking at Uchiha Obito sprawled on the ground, Uchiha Yuzuru couldn't help but exclaim, "Even after training to this extent, you still insist on studying academics?"
"Hajito, you...
Hearing this, Uchiha Obito quickly explained, "Brother Yuzuru, what I mean is that I won't come to you for training anymore. I feel like training with the other Clan members suits me better."
"Also... I'm not Hajito, I'm Uchiha Obito!"
In response, Uchiha Yuzuru flatly refused, "Obito, you are different from others. Don't waste your time on academics."
Seeing that Uchiha Obito still wanted to say something, Uchiha Yuzuru's expression changed, and he said coldly, "Get up and Cultivate immediately, or I'll plant you in the ground like a ginseng."
Days passed, and the news of the Uchiha Clan leaving Konoha and settling in the Land of Rice Fields gradually spread throughout the Ninja World.
Under the strong stance of Danzo Shimura, Utatane Koharu, and Homura Mitokado, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, ordered all members of the Uchiha Clan to be declared rogue Ninja.
This also meant that there was no longer any possibility of reconciliation between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan.
When the news spread, everyone in the Ninja World found it unbelievable.
Aside from the villagers of Konoha, even other citizens of the Land of Fire were very confused by this.
The Uchiha Clan, who established Konoha, were all declared Konoha rogue Ninja?
Is this reasonable?
The Senju Clan has already disappeared from Konoha, and now the Uchiha Clan has also left Konoha... Is such a Konoha still Konoha?
Konoha Village's prestige in the Ninja World plummeted, and correspondingly, the number of Ninja employment requests also greatly decreased.
Even the Daimyō of the Land of Fire personally inquired about this matter.
Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally went to the Daimyō's mansion to apologize and swore that he would absolutely not let the safety of the Land of Fire be affected in any way, which finally appeased the Daimyō of the Land of Fire.
However, he also stated that financial support for Konoha would be reduced by 30% in the future.
The most direct impact of this was felt by the ordinary villagers and the lowest-level Ninja of Konoha.
Many people couldn't even guarantee their basic sustenance.
Under these circumstances, Konoha's crime rate soared at an extremely exaggerated rate.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was swamped, but establishing an organization that could replace the Military Police Force was not an easy task.
It had been less than a month since the Uchiha Clan left the Village, and people were already openly questioning him as the Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in his office, smoking all day, and still couldn't figure it out.
It's just that the Uchiha Clan is gone, right?
How did the situation suddenly become like this?
While Hiruzen Sarutobi was busy dealing with various troubles within the Village, other Ninja Villages began to stir.
Land of Wind.
Hidden Sand Village.
The Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, and others sat around a large desk.
The Third Kazekage deliberated for a moment before saying, "The Uchiha Clan is currently stationed in the Land of Rice Fields. We can try to make contact."
"If we can win over the Uchiha Clan to our Hidden Sand Village, then our Village's strength and prestige will definitely reach a new height."
"In that case, many things we want to do can all be attempted."
After listening to the Third Kazekage's analysis, Chiyo snorted and said coldly, "Those Uchiha betrayed the Village they themselves established. What loyalty can they have?"
"Instead of winning over those Uchiha, why not take the opportunity to attack Konoha?"
"Konoha's interior must be in chaos right now, and they definitely won't be able to withstand our attack."
Hearing this, the Third Kazekage frowned.
Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law both died at the hands of Konoha Ninja, so Chiyo had always hated Konoha to the bone.
He could understand this.
But discussing important matters concerning the Ninja Village with emotions was a bit unreasonable.
Even without the Uchiha Clan, Konoha still had Kage-level powerhouses like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Sakumo Hatake.
Launching an attack on Konoha would be completely counterproductive.
Thinking of this, the Third Kazekage said lightly, "The matter of Konoha needs to be considered in the long term. I will send people to the Land of Rice Fields."
"Whether by enticement or coercion, we must try our best to win over the Uchiha Clan."
"Before that, no one is allowed to cause trouble."
Feeling the tension between the Third Kazekage and Chiyo, Ebizo quickly said, "Then it's decided."
"Sister, let's go back first, otherwise that child Sasori will forget to eat again."
Hearing Sasori's name, Chiyo finally stood up.
Konoha Ninja, one day, I will make you pay the price!
Land of Lightning.
Hidden Cloud Village.
The Third Raikage called A and Killer Bee into his office.
"A, the Uchiha Clan is currently stationed in the Land of Rice Fields. Take some people there."
"To do what?"
"Ask them if they are willing to come live in Hidden Cloud Village. If not, find an opportunity to capture a few Uchiha Clan members and bring them back."
"Our Hidden Cloud Village needs more Bloodline Limits."
A nodded, "Understood."
Then, he extended his fist to Killer Bee beside him, "Bee, I'm taking you out of the Village to play this time."
Killer Bee gesticulated wildly, shaking his body, "To keep up with big brother's speed, I need to train my legs, tirelessly. I don't just rely on my mouth. When the Uchiha see my Eight-Tails, they'll surely be scared stiff and scream 'ghost'."
"Yo~ Bakayaro, Kugayaro!"
After Killer Bee finished singing, he extended his fist and bumped it with A's.
The two walked out of the Raikage Building side by side.
After A and Killer Bee left, a dark-skinned, white-haired man beside the Third Raikage asked, "Lord Raikage, shouldn't we try to win them over first?"
Hearing this, the Third Raikage snorted coldly, "Let's first see their strength. The weak are not qualified to stand before me."
If we can snatch, we snatch. If not, then we negotiate.
That is their Hidden Cloud Village's consistent style!
Land of Earth.
Iwagakure.
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, stared at the intelligence report on the table for a moment, lost in thought, before finally saying, "Kitsuchi, do you think this could be Konoha's scheme?"
After speaking, he laughed at himself.
If Konoha really wanted to do something with this method, then he would truly have to doubt the Third Hokage's intelligence.
Completely unlike the short Ōnoki, the burly Kitsuchi said in a deep voice, "Father, what do you plan to do?"
Ōnoki thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "You go and make contact with those Uchiha, and see if they are willing to come live in Iwagakure."
"If they are willing, we can appropriately give them some benefits."
"Remember, do not get into conflict with them."
Land of Water.
Hidden Mist Village.
In the slightly dim office, Yagura Karatachi opened the intelligence scroll and glanced at it.
Then he casually threw the scroll aside.
The Uchiha Clan defected from Konoha?
Sure enough, these Ninja Clans with Bloodline Limits are the most detestable.
If it weren't for these Ninja Clans, Hidden Mist Village would not be so difficult to manage.
One day, he would round up all the Ninja Clans with Bloodline Limits in Hidden Mist Village!
