Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Midnight,

There were dim lights shining faintly on the steep sea cliff. They were a team of Konoha ninjas responsible for night patrols. They faced the cold and sharp sea wind and walked step by step to the edge of the cliff. Then they raised their lanterns to shine down the cliff. Go, in fact, this weak light cannot dispel the deep darkness under the cliff.

but,

The real 'eye' they relied on was a chuunin from the Hyuga branch who was protected in the center of the team.

The wind lantern is just a cover-up on the surface. If the enemy really encounters a surprise attack, the person holding the wind lantern will most likely be the first target to be attacked. It can effectively protect the team's eyes because the lantern The reason why people face the greatest risk is that this job is often done by everyone else in the team except the 'eyes'.

"I hope it's Christmas Eve."

The middle-aged man holding a wind lantern stuck his head out and looked at the dark cliffs and the sound of waves lapping at the shore.

Unfortunately,

People in different places cannot enjoy the clear brilliance of the same bright moon. The gloomy sea of ​​clouds blocks the moonlight, making the night tonight darker than usual. The middle-aged man wearing a leaf protector squinted hard. With his eyes, he looked down at the wind lantern in his hand, trying to see clearly the situation below with the faint light of the wind lantern.

behind him,

The chuunin of the Hyuga branch who was under the protection of everyone opened his eyes.

at this time,

There was a faint noise of the air being torn apart from the raging waves.

"Be careful! Enemy attack!!!"

The moment the Hyuga family ninja opened his Byakugan, he saw the humanoid chakra fluctuations as bright as a torch at the bottom of the cliff. The extremely unfamiliar chakra explained the identity of these uninvited guests, but his call was a step too late in the end, smeared with inconsistency. The kunai with reflective paint had cut open the neck of the middle-aged man holding the lantern.

Blood spurted out from the deep and long incision on his neck, and scarlet blood flowers bloomed in the dark night.

The swaying corpse fell down together with the wind lantern and fell into the darkness under the cliff. Without the light of the wind lantern, darkness returned to the sea cliff, but the victim had already played his due role. Help the 'Eye' in the team take the most dangerous first blow!

A specially made signal bomb rose into the sky, lighting up the beacon of war in the sky!

mist ninja,

Coming!

----

News of the outbreak of the war was quickly spread back to Konoha, and Konoha's top brass immediately gathered in the Hokage's office. The fifth generation acting Hokage Akimichi Tofaze sat behind a large desk and read the report sent back by the Eastern Border Guard Force. .

The content of the report is very simple,

They just said that the Mist Ninja appeared on the east coast of the Fire Country, hoping that the village could send more reinforcements to support them.

Simplicity and simplicity have reached a new level.

"Shikaku, are everyone here?"

Akimichi Tofaze raised his head and looked at Nara Shikaku who was standing at the table.

"Mr. Uchiha hasn't arrived yet."

Nara Shikaku replied respectfully.

Yes,

The heads of various departments and the clan heads of various families who had received the ANBU notification immediately dropped their work and rushed to the Hokage Building. However, they did not expect that Uchiha Sogenuru, who was the protagonist of this emergency meeting, would not arrive for a long time.

after all,

According to the results of previous discussions, Uchiha Sogenuru would serve as the highest frontline commander in commanding the fight against the Mist Ninja. However, the protagonist was delayed in arriving at this moment.

Qiudao Qifeng frowned slightly.

Feeling slightly unhappy.

However, he is not angry because of this matter. Whether it is the strong strength of the Uchiha clan or the strength of Uchiha Sozuru himself, it is worth letting him, the Fifth Generation Acting Hokage, tolerate the rude behavior of Ichiji Sozuru. Of course, in terms of mood Unhappiness is inevitable.

"This doesn't seem to be the first time Uchiha Sozuru has been late!"

Standing at the desk, Nara Shikaku recalled for some reason Uchiha Munesuru's experience of being late, whether it was in the era of Sarutobi Hiruzen or now after the succession of Mr. Tofu... It seemed that every meeting was Uchiha Sozuru is always late!

"—Clang!—Clang!"

Some strange sounds came from the corridor outside the door.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, please forgive me for being a little late. It took me a while to pack my luggage." The half-open door of the office was pushed open silently, and the fully armed Zongxuan stepped into the room.

Then--

"Uchiha Madara!!!"

Qiu Daofeng suddenly stood up, turning over the chair under him, and his majestic body hit the desk in front of him and suddenly moved two inches away.

Such a change,

The people waiting here, Hinata Hizu and others, looked confused and confused.

Could it be that they got it wrong?

Uchiha Madara?

Why mention this name that has been buried in the past?

Akimichi Tifeng stood there, looking at Uchiha Munexun standing at the door. He felt a little dazzled. The phantom in his memory and the real person in front of him had an incredible overlap. The red armor, which was as red as blood, seemed to be The jet-black combat uniform of the Shinigami robe, and the large sword Samehada wrapped in bandages behind his back...

"call!"

"My old eyes are dim, that's what I'm talking about!"

Qiu Daocheng took a deep breath.

No matter how similar it is to the phantom in his memory, it is not the same person after all. If you look carefully, there are many differences between the Munesuru in front of you and the arrogant Uchiha Madara in his memory. First of all, his hair is not that long, and his muscles are not as long. It's not the Uchiha Uchiha fan, but also the fact that Sogen's facial features are not as cold and hard as Uchiha Madara's, and are softer and more handsome.

He shook his head to dispel the phantom that suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Hokage-sama, are you okay?"

Hinata Hiashi asked slightly worriedly.

"It's nothing, don't worry, it's just a minor problem of the elderly." Akimichi Tifeng did not explain anything. Young people such as Hinata Hizashi and Aburame Shiwei have never seen Uchiha Madara, so naturally they have no way of understanding their generation. How people are in awe and fear of Uchiha Madara.

When I was young,

He had been fortunate enough to follow Madara Uchiha to defeat foreign enemies with the elders of his clan, and that power, which was like the coming of a god into the world, left an indelible memory in his heart.

"Zongxian-kun, I didn't expect you to be interested in such things from the past!"

Akimichi Tifeng stretched out his big hand without having to bend down. He used his right hand, which had become enlarged after partial doubling, to hold up the overturned chair. With his left hand, he dragged the table back to its original position. After resetting everything, it looked like As if nothing happened.

"It's a tradition!"

Zong Xian raised his hand and knocked on the armor on his chest, and the armor on his body made a series of sounds as it hit.

Although this kind of armor has good defensive power, its heavy weight and the disadvantage of making noise when walking have made the stacked armor that was once popular in the Warring States Period gradually withdraw from the big stage of the ninja world in recent decades. .

Today's ninjas are pursuing lighter and quieter equipment.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the defensive power of the iron armor and carry out the secret maneuver to the end.

"Several elders in the clan helped me prepare it. Looking at their expectant looks, it's really hard to refuse." Zong Xian explained why he was wearing such a retro-style armor.

There was another reason he didn't say.

That is, Zong Xian himself also likes this set of stacked armor. Compared to the dark green vest, he really prefers this set of traditional red stacked armor, and his [Knights Will Not Die with Unarmed] can also do this for them. A suit of stacked armor adds the defensive power of a D-level Noble Phantasm.

It's both handsome and practical. There's no reason not to wear this and wear that green vest instead.

As for whether the elders are remembering Uchiha Madara, the former patriarch!

That's not important at all.

The important thing is that he is now the leader of the Uchiha clan. Sooner or later, he will use his own power to completely replace the influence of Uchiha Madara, the previous clan leader, who has been engraved in history. The old man should go to the pure land and sleep instead of competing for the C position on the stage of future generations.

You should stop relying on your old age and showing off your old age. This is no longer the era of old rice dumplings!

"I see!"

After hearing Zong Xian's explanation, Qiudao Qifeng nodded lightly and said nothing more.

What kind of equipment Uchiha Munezuru likes is his own private matter, and it is not the turn of outsiders to tell him what to do. Although seeing Uchiha Munezuru dressed like this did make him feel a little strange, the Uchiha clan is like this What do you want to do?

Immediately,

He laughed to himself again in his heart.

I am just an acting Hokage, there is no need to worry so much.

When the war with the Mist Ninja is over and Jiraiya and Tsunade are found... he will almost abdicate in favor of others. Taking a step back, even if it is just for the sake of the family, there is no need to cause trouble with the Uchiha. Unpleasant events.

"Enough with the gossip!"

Akimichi Tifeng cheered up, his eyes became sharp, and he picked up the flipped document on the table, "This is the message I received early this morning. Last night, the Kiri ninja appeared on the east coast and attacked a patrol. Team, the war...has begun!"

war,

it has started.

When they heard this, Hinata, Hizu, and others looked stern, and they felt a kind of pressure coming towards them.

Even if they are very confident in defeating the Mist Ninja, the pressure of the war will not disappear because of this. Any kind of accident is possible on the ever-changing battlefield. It is certainly unlucky to think like this, but there are indeed cases in history. Many battles that seemed certain to win ended in disastrous defeat!

War is a black box full of uncertainties.

Until the moment the box is actually opened, no one knows what kind of results are brewing inside.

At this time-

"In that case, can I set off?" Zong Xian was eager to try. The murderous smile on his face made the corners of Akimichi Tifeng's eyes twitch uncontrollably. Why did this damn smile overlap with the phantom in his memory? Uchiha Do all people in the family have the same moral character?

Do you like war that much?

"Uchiha Clan Leader, I wish you victory in this battle. I will be waiting in the village for news of your success as soon as possible."

Akimichi Tofaze stood up again, and solemnly handed over the war between Dongfang and Kiri Ninja, and handed the appointment letter that he had prepared long ago to Nara Shikaku, and Nara Shikaku stepped forward and gave it to Sozuru. With such a document in hand, Zong Xian is the legitimate supreme commander of the eastern battlefield!

"This battle will be won! Hokage-sama, please just wait patiently!"

Zong Xian took the appointment letter, his smile became brighter and the murderous look in his eyes became more intense.

----

Half an hour later, following the order of supreme commander Uchiha Munezuru, the army, which had been ready for several days, set out and rushed towards the eastern coast of the Country of Fire. This was a huge army with a total number of nearly 4000 people. Not only were Konoha's publicly available forces mobilized, but they also mobilized [-] tribesmen from six families including Sarutobi and Shimura.

Of course, this is definitely not Konoha's last fortune.

Konoha's family background is solid!

If one can be ruthless enough to scratch the bodies of the Uchiha, Hinata, Aburozuka, Inokacho and other families, it will not be difficult to assemble an army of more than 5000 people.

However, unless it is really necessary, even the Hokage would not dare to make such a decision easily.

"Zong Xian, don't be careless! The Kiri Ninja is one of the five great ninja villages after all. This time, you not only have to worry about your own life, but the lives of thousands of people are also on your shoulders."

Outside the main gate of Konoha Village,

Genji Uchiha and the elders were seeing off the young clan leader.

"Chief Sogen! Go to the battlefield and chop off the heads of a few more Kiri ninjas! Let those idiots who were dumbfounded by the sea water not forget how powerful the Uchiha are." Elder Homaru's character is as direct as ever.

"The dead fog ninja is the best enemy!" The only female elder said this, Uchiha Anzu.

"Take care of Chihaya!"

Elder Long Si warned.

"Shisui is not in a good state of mind recently. Chief, please pay more attention to him on the battlefield." Elder Shun Uchiha looked worried, worried about Shisui's condition.

"...You're fine!"

Everyone had finished speaking, and when it was Elder Uchiha's turn, he found that he really had nothing to say, so he had to sincerely praise Zongxian.

"I will come back with victory! Grandpa, and all the elders, please rest assured and wait for my good news at home!"

Zongxuan said with a smile, and his calm attitude made Uchiha Touka, who was a little uneasy, relax a little, and finally let go of the little hand holding the hem of Zongxuan's clothes.

Hearing his grandson's arrogance, Uchiha Genshi shook his head helplessly, but to be honest, he really wasn't too worried about the safety of his grandson who had already excelled in his skills. In comparison, he was more worried about the fact that he was only five years old. The safety of the eldest and little granddaughter.

The old man glanced at the short Uchiha Touka and felt a little distressed.

"Sogen, Touka..."

"Five is not young anymore."

Zongxian smiled and interrupted the unspoken words of Mr. Genshi Uchiha, "Grandpa, you took me to the battlefield to see the scenery when I was five years old. You can't be more selective than others!"

Uchiha Genshi glared at Zongxian angrily, what does it mean to favor one over another?He just felt sorry for his granddaughter, but he also realized that there seemed to be no room for change in this matter. Zong Xian was determined to take Tenghua to the battlefield for some experience.

He gave up the idea of ​​keeping his granddaughter, and his wandering eyes glanced at the little girl sitting in a wheelchair not far away, and asked: "Forget it about Touka, why do you even want to take Yakumo with you? Is her health okay? Isn’t it enough to just rush along?”

This time,

It was not only the elite of the clan who went to the eastern front, but also two little guys, Kurama Yakumo and Uchiha Touka.

Kurama Yakumo, as a disciple of Sosen, has been living in Sosen's home these days. Uchiha Masashi and Uchiha have already been the head of the family and have an extra daughter. Even Uchiha Genshi likes this illusion to be outstanding. The little girl has lamented more than once how powerful the Kurama clan’s bloodline is!

"The opportunity is rare. If you miss this battle with the Mist Ninja, you don't know when you will have the opportunity to see the face of war. The village is too comfortable. It will be good for them to realize the cruelty of this world earlier. "

Zongxian looked up at Konoha Village surrounded by high walls, and the smile on his face faded.

This world is not gentle at all!

Living and working in peace and contentment in Konoha is just an example that is difficult to copy. Even the most prosperous Fire Country is far from being called a peaceful world. Just going to the mission department to see the endless commissions to exterminate thieves and bandits is enough. A glimpse into what the world really looks like.

Zong Xian himself also struggled to crawl out from the pile of dead people. The experience of wandering on the edge of life and death again and again wiped away all his innocence.

Everything he experienced made him realize deeply,

It is not easy to live well in this cruel world.
