Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

In the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, the Third Raikage Ai and high-level ninjas conspired and planned an elaborate conspiracy with the intention of creating a reasonable excuse for their expansion war.

At the meeting, Raikage Ai proposed a plan to send an elite team to sneak into the Fire Country, disguised as Cloud Ninjas on a mission, and then deliberately disappear in the Fire Country.

They carefully planned this "disappearance" in the hopes that it would give the Hidden Cloud Village a legitimate reason to wage war against Konoha.

The team from the Hidden Cloud Village was composed of several well-trained ninjas. They secretly sneaked into the territory of the Land of Fire and chose a place close to the border of Konoha, deliberately cutting off contact with the village.

They dropped fake clues to create the illusion that they were captured or killed by Konoha ninjas.

Afterwards, the envoys of the Hidden Cloud Village immediately attacked the Hidden Leaf Village, claiming that their ninjas were missing in the Land of Fire and accusing Konoha of being responsible.

A few days later, the Third Raikage Ai directly questioned Konoha Village, demanding that Konoha Village explain what they had done to the missing Kumogakure ninja.

In a strong and threatening tone, he asked Konoha if they wanted to start a war.

"Do you, Konoha Village, want to destroy the peace of the ninja world? Did you capture our ninjas?" The Third Raikage's tone was full of hostility, trying to anger Konoha Village in this way.

Faced with such questioning, Konoha Village fell into a tense discussion. Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures with the heads of major families.

The top leaders of Konoha Village suspected that the accusation of the Hidden Cloud Village was an excuse to start a war, but there was not enough evidence to prove it.

When the Raikage Ai saw that Konoha Village did not immediately hand over the so-called "murderer" or take responsibility for the disappearances, he decisively announced: "The Hidden Cloud Village declares war on Konoha!" This news quickly spread throughout the ninja world, and the shadow of war once again enveloped the earth.

The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village are ready to go, and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning also fully supports the Raikage, declaring that this war is fought for "justice."

Uchiha Yingyue, who was far away in Konoha, soon learned of this conspiracy and the coming of war.

Uchiha Yingyue had already anticipated in his heart that such a tough attitude of the Hidden Cloud Village would sooner or later trigger a new conflict.

Yingyue does not think that peace in Konoha can be maintained for a long time. The current situation has long been a powder keg, and the Hidden Cloud Village is just the first spark. Yingyue decided to pay close attention to the progress of the war and began to make more preparations for the future of Konoha.

The prelude to the Third Ninja World War has officially begun.

After the Hidden Cloud Village declared war on Konoha without warning, Konoha Village fell into a tense atmosphere.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately convened Konoha's top leaders and major families for an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond to the sudden war provocation from the Hidden Cloud Village.

After a detailed investigation, Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered that Konoha had no contact with the missing ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village.

All of Konoha's ninja units and task forces have been questioned one by one, and there are no signs of any Konoha ninja activities at the site of the disappearance.

Konoha's intelligence network also confirmed that the disappearances were more like a conspiracy planned by the Hidden Cloud Village.

At this meeting, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious: "The Hidden Cloud Village is simply deliberately making excuses to provoke a war!" He realized that behind the Hidden Cloud Village's urgent declaration of war was a strong intention of aggression, which was inseparable from the support of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.

In just a few days, from questioning to all-out declaration of war, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that all this was just a strategy premeditated by the Raikage Ai and the top leaders of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Faced with the provocation of the Hidden Cloud Village, the patriarchs of the major families also expressed their anger.

Konoha's advisory group, including Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En, also expressed their dissatisfaction with the conspiracy of the Hidden Cloud Village and believed that Konoha should no longer tolerate it.

As the representative of Konoha's hawkish faction, Danzo Shimura was even more radical and advocated launching a counterattack immediately to strike at the arrogance of the Hidden Cloud Village and take this opportunity to expand Konoha's influence.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was angry about the conspiracy of the Hidden Cloud Village, he still showed his usual cautious attitude.

He knew that all-out war would bring huge casualties and losses to the village.

Therefore, he decided to take a defensive stance temporarily and mobilize Konoha's elite troops and ninjas from various families to prepare for war.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sent diplomatic envoys to the Land of Lightning, hoping to avoid the outbreak of a full-scale war through final communication.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen also clearly realized that war was inevitable.

He knew that the major countries in the ninja world had entered a spiraling cycle of war, and even if the Hidden Cloud Village did not instigate it, other ninja villages would follow suit soon.

The shadow of the Third Ninja World War is gradually approaching.

At this time, Uchiha Yingyue was also paying close attention to the development of the situation.

As a powerful force in Konoha, Yingyue has long been aware of the root causes behind the disputes among countries.

He knew that the outbreak of war was inevitable and believed that it was a prelude to change in the ninja world.

Shadow Moon silently pondered her role in the upcoming war, secretly planning her future actions.

As the situation becomes more tense, Konoha is about to face an unprecedented battle, and Shadow Moon's power and strategy will play a key role in this war.

As the ninja troops of the Hidden Cloud Village approached the border of the Land of Fire and threatened to declare war, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately convened a meeting of all the jonin of Konoha to deal with the sudden war situation.

In the conference room, Konoha's top ninjas gathered together and the atmosphere was solemn.

Everyone realized that the peace in the ninja world had been broken and an unprecedented war was brewing.

After the meeting began, Uchiha Kagezuki, one of Konoha's most respected jonin, spoke first.

Yingyue stood up, looked around at everyone, and said, "The current situation is not just a provocation from the Hidden Cloud Village to Konoha, but the entire ninja world is in turmoil. We can't just guard against the Hidden Cloud Village, we also have to consider the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki of the Hidden Rock Village in the Land of Earth. He may take advantage of the chaos to raid Konoha. After all, he has never stopped coveting us. And the Third Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind should not be underestimated. Although they have signed a peace agreement on the surface, I think they are still waiting for an opportunity to move."

Yingyue's point of view was recognized by some senior ninjas, especially those with rich experience and rich knowledge.

They knew that what Yingyue said was true. The major ninja villages in the ninja world were restraining each other. Once the war broke out, it would quickly spread to multiple countries.
