Chapter 266: Breaking Through Konoha
Chapter 266: Breaking Through Konoha
Sasuke was naturally unaware of Naruto's divergent thinking. If he knew that Naruto was actually sympathizing with him, he would definitely continue to beat Naruto.
He saw Naruto calling out their family's position, and an ugly smile appeared on the pig's face, "It seems that you are not so ignorant. Once our family takes action, this war will be over."
Naruto's curiosity was piqued by Sasuke's words, "If your family is so strong, why don't you take action now?"
Sasuke's expression froze, "But... maybe he didn't expect the opponent to be so troublesome, and wanted to use us as a trump card and use it at the end."
He remembered very clearly that when the battle broke out, some Anbu came to their clan territory and said something to his father.
After the Anbu gave the instructions, his father looked unhappy, and the other uncles and aunts around him also looked angry.
Afterwards, he and several other children from the tribe were taken away to a shelter together.
Sasuke didn't understand so many adult matters, but he felt as if the Anbu brought the Hokage's order not to let the Uchiha family participate in the war.
"What about the trump card? We are right below the Hokage Rock. If we fight here, we will destroy Konoha. Do you want to wait until Konoha is destroyed before you take action?"
Naruto was outspoken and spoke his mind, which sounded quite mocking to Sasuke.
"You...what do you know? Father once said that a general must be patient. Since Hokage-sama asked us to stay, there must be a reason behind it."
Sasuke said with a blushing face.
Naruto looked at the battlefield outside, and suddenly something in his head dawned on him. He turned to look at Sasuke and said, "Your family... is being ostracized by the village, right?"
Naruto had a lot of experience as an outcast, and while he wasn't the smartest kid, he had the authority to speak on this matter.
Combining his simple analysis with his keen intuition, he immediately understood what was going on.
The village hates the Uchiha clan as much as they hate themselves, so they don't want to "play" with the Uchiha clan in such an important matter.
Naruto didn't understand the merits and fame in war. He just felt that the fact that the Uchiha was not allowed to take action in this situation showed how unfriendly the village was towards the Uchiha.
And this unkindness will eventually bring great losses to the village, just like him.
Naruto didn't know what the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki meant, but from the stories told to him by Brother Lu, he could understand the importance of the Jinchuriki to the village.
But why, why?
Why does the village always treat those very important people with a cold eye?
To the extent that he couldn't find any reason to stay in the village, even for his parents' possible wishes, he couldn't do it.
Once a child's rebellious heart is aroused, it is the strongest. Naruto was not so radical as to say that he wanted to take revenge on Konoha, but he wanted to make the people of Konoha Village regret losing their Jinchūriki by leaving.
"Exclusion... what are you talking about? We Uchiha are..."
Sasuke felt a little unconvinced when he heard Naruto say that their family was being excluded, but he stopped halfway through his words.
Because he remembered that every time he went to the park to play, other children didn’t interact with him much, especially when the parents of those children passed by, they looked at him with some... fear?
What Sasuke didn't know was that the reason kids didn't hang out with him wasn't because he was an Uchiha, but because he was so arrogant that most boys hated him and he didn't want to play with girls.
The parents looked at him with unfriendly eyes, mainly because the Uchiha's coup plan was kept secret as poorly as shit. Not to mention the Hokage, even the villagers could hear it by hearsay.
As an adult, when he heard that the Uchiha might be planning a coup, and looked at Uchiha Sasuke, the son of the clan leader, his eyes naturally would not be very friendly.
"Humph, anyway, geniuses are lonely. It's just that ordinary people are jealous of us Uchiha."
Sasuke snorted coldly and changed his tone. He felt that even if the village was unfriendly to the Uchiha, it only meant that they were strong.
"Sasuke, you are really confident..."
Naruto complained, "You can't even beat me, yet you still call yourself a genius."
Sasuke got angry when he heard what Naruto said, "It seems I have to beat you until you admit defeat!"
Naruto would not show weakness, but he saw the scene on the battlefield outside and was distracted. "Stop talking, look outside, they are coming!"
Sasuke's heart tightened and he looked out the window. He saw Lu Li's sword moves vigorously, and he was actually suppressing five or six strong men by himself, pushing to the rear of Konoha. It seemed that he was less than a kilometer away from their shelter.
At this time, inside the village, the Chunin and Genin who were responsible for harassment on the outer battlefield looked at the situation on the battlefield and felt despair.
Even Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade, with the cooperation of so many powerful jonin, were unable to stop Lu Li. Is Konoha really going to perish today?
At this time, Jiraiya was covered in wounds and had been chopped out of Sage Mode by Lu Li.
Sage Fukasaku Shima was injured continuously, and Jiraiya couldn't bear to drag the sage to death, so he let them return to Myoboku Mountain first. Without the help of the two sages, his sage mode was naturally lifted.
However, Lu Li's magic sword was very vicious. Every time they fought, it would absorb some of his chakra. As a result, Lu Li showed no signs of weakness even now. Instead, there was not much chakra left in their bodies.
Tsunade's Hundred Healings Technique was almost at its limit. The marks on her face from being slashed by Lu Li and having her chakra absorbed had become barely visible. Now she was looking at Lu Li breathlessly with a solemn look in her eyes.
"Master Jiraiya, it seems that we can't stop him alone. We must replenish our manpower."
Kakashi said breathlessly, although Lu Li had never been able to cut him, his chakra was not much and he was a tactical ninja who usually won by showing off his skills. But facing an offensive ninja like Lu Li who had the upper hand in all areas, he had no way to deal with him.
"Do we have new combat power?"
Jiraiya was stunned. How could he not know? Could it be that in this situation, Konoha still had a backup plan?
Seeing Jiraiya's confusion, Kakashi quickly added, "It's the Uchiha clan! They're still on standby in the clan territory!"
Amid the roar, Jiraiya used the Rasengan to try to fight Lu Li, but without the Sage Mode, his overall physique would not have an advantage, and he was directly blasted into a building by Lu Li. Under the nervous gazes of many powerful people, Lu Li did not prioritize chasing Jiraiya. He kicked Tsunade's cushion with a side kick, sending her flying and smashing several buildings, and then rushed into a hidden underground entrance.
Tsunade saw this and shouted, "Stop him, that's where the library of forbidden techniques is stored!"
The location where Konoha's forbidden techniques were stored was not secret enough. They were just covered up by a house built above the basement. The defense here was not very tight either. This was mainly because Konoha was confident of its strength and the Anbu often patrolled the village, making it almost impossible for outsiders to sneak into Konoha and steal.
But Konoha could never have dreamed that one day his village would be breached by a head-on attack.
At this time, Lu Li arrived here and rushed in directly. His target was the scroll of forbidden techniques that Naruto stole at the beginning of the comics.
Since he is not from this world, Lu Li certainly does not know where the forbidden scroll is hidden, but he has an insider. Itachi was previously the direct subordinate of the Hokage in the Anbu, so he naturally knows where the forbidden scroll is hidden.
With Itachi's guidance, Lu Li found the place easily. He rushed in, grabbed the scroll of forbidden techniques that was placed in a conspicuous position, and put it into the storage space.
boom--
Because he stopped attacking, he gave the ninjas outside a chance to catch their breath. Continuous ninjutsu bombarded the top of the basement, obviously intending to bury Lu Li along with these forbidden techniques.
Jiraiya also rolled a huge Rasengan and pressed down from above, but Lu Li slashed upward with a knife, not only cutting the energy ball of the Rasengan, but also gouging Jiraiya's chest, and blood splattered under the moonlight.
"Jiraiya!"
Seeing this, Tsunade quickly caught Jiraiya and used medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding from his wound.
"Kakashi, go ask the Uchiha clan for help!"
Jiraiya shouted. He couldn't help but feel annoyed at the teacher's decision. It was clearly a matter of life and death for the village, but he was still thinking about political struggle at this time.
This is not because they are afraid of a coup by the Uchiha clan, it is obvious that they don't want the Uchiha clan to get more military merits!
But he didn't care what Sarutobi-sensei thought now, if those powerful psychopaths of Uchiha didn't take action, the village would really be destroyed.
Not to mention their main battlefield, on the flank battlefield, Hoshigaki Kisame and the Fourth Mizukage, two powerful and immortal men, have already inflicted heavy damage to the Konoha Ninja army. People are dying every minute and every second, and they are the future elites of the village.
After this battle, even if they win, Konoha will be seriously damaged and will no longer be the strongest ninja village among the five major countries.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi did not dare to delay and immediately left for the Uchiha clan's territory. He only hoped that those Uchiha psychopaths would not make things difficult for him, saying that the Hokage asked them to wait there, which would make him feel very uncomfortable.
When Lu Li saw Kakashi going to invite the Uchiha clan, he was happy to wait and see. In fact, even if Kakashi didn't go to invite them, he felt that the time was right and was prepared to secretly send a signal to Itachi to let Itachi and his clan members appear.
It can only be said that the order from the Third Hokage helped them a lot. Originally, Lu Li was still worried that the Uchiha clan's slacking off in the early stages of the war would cause dissatisfaction among the villagers, but the Third Hokage's decree helped them solve this problem.
It's not that the Uchiha didn't want to fight back. They were waiting in the clan territory under the order of the Hokage. Who can blame them for not doing anything? The only one to blame is Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage.
In order to make the Uchiha's attacks appear more natural, and to bring more hope to the desperate Konoha ninjas when they appear, Lu Li decided to end this battle.
He walked forward in Sage Mode, and swung the Demon Prisoner in his hand lightly backwards, stirring up dust and strong winds, and sweeping the flames backwards.
The instant step was activated, and the speed reached the peak in an instant, and the dust formed a ring shape and spread backwards.
Jiraiya and the others couldn't see Lu Li's advancing posture at all, so they could only defend passively or use area-of-effect ninjutsu to attack forward.
Jiraiya used a large-scale Needle Jizo to form a barrier, hoping to use this offensive and defensive ninjutsu to resist Lu Li's attack and protect Tsunade and others around him.
Tsunade, on the other hand, stood in a firm horse stance, with her fist ready to strike, waiting for the moment when Jizo was hit to strike.
Several other elite jonin released ninjutsu before Jiraiya's Needle Jizo could wrap around them. Fire and wind ninjutsu intertwined to form a huge fire tornado that rushed across the street, blocking all of Lu Li's advance routes.
As Lu Li rushed forward at a very fast speed, he seemed to have an inspiration and paused strangely for a moment before colliding with the fire tornado. His body suddenly solidified, and as if violating the laws of physics, he went from extreme movement to extreme stillness.
The Demon Prisoner was unsheathed, and as if with a strange pulling force, the fire tornado in front was pulled by the force, dancing in the direction of the knife tip, like a fire dragon pulled by a hook, falling behind the blade.
As Lu Li's blade rotated, a huge wind and fire escape technique wrapped around his body, like a ferocious fire dragon, guarding the throne of the sword master.
Wherever your heart leads, wherever your mind points, take a step forward and cut, nothing can stop you!
The next moment, a phantom blade light slashed out, and the flames accompanied by flowing cherry blossoms dyed the dark night sky red, drawing a huge round fan. The strange suction force pulled Jiraiya and others as well as the ground beneath their feet towards Lu Li's blade.
And at the moment when the sword was formed, the invisible force burst out again. The sharp sword energy carried an enchanting red light, swirling with misty purple mist, and stirred up a blood fountain under the moon.
This sword was wielded by the sword master Lu Li, who cut through all the heroes of Konoha with one blow!
After the silent silence, a violent gust of wind erupted, and figures, some in pieces, some in ruins, flew backwards in the storm.
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang
Amidst the sounds of collision, Konoha's strong men crashed into the Hokage Rock, turning into holes one after another, and there was no sound anymore.
Lu Li was carrying strong winds and blazing flames behind him and dark red thunder hanging above his head, like a moving natural disaster. After clearing a path, he slowly moved towards the shelter deep in Konoha.
Inside the shelter, Naruto, who saw this scene through the window, was so excited that he almost jumped up, while Sasuke frowned and his body trembled slightly.
After all, he is still a child. Even a genius like Sasuke would be afraid. He really didn't expect that the powerful ninjas of Konoha would be so vulnerable and were actually defeated by Lu Li.
