Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

After completing the mission and understanding the situation in the ninja world, Kagezuki returned to Konoha with Chinatsu, Ayane and the others.

Before Uchiha Yingyue had time to rest after returning to the village, he heard shocking news from Tsunade: the Hidden Cloud Village tried to kidnap Uzumaki Kushina, but fortunately she was rescued in time by Namikaze Minato.

At Tsunade's residence, Yingyue sat with her in the courtyard, sipping tea and chatting.

When Tsunade mentioned this, there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Kagezuki, have you heard? The Hidden Cloud Village actually dared to kidnap Kushina. Fortunately, Minato arrived in time and rescued her." Tsunade's tone was full of anger.

Uchiha Yingyue frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "The Hidden Cloud Village has always been a village that fears power rather than virtue. They admire the strong and will only behave themselves when they are intimidated by overwhelming force. If we just pursue the promise of peace, they may tear up this promise at any time. To make them truly obey, we have to defeat them completely."

After hearing this, Tsunade nodded and fell into thought.

She also understood in her heart that Yingyue's words made sense.

The kidnapping behavior in the Hidden Cloud Village was indeed intolerable, especially the attack on Kushina, a member of Mito Grandma's clan, which made her extremely angry.

"You're right, Shadow Moon. They dared to kidnap Kushina this time, and who knows who they will attack next time." Tsunade's eyes flashed with determination, "We must let them know that Konoha is not to be trifled with."

The two chatted for a while, then Shadow Moon said goodbye to Tsunade and went to the training ground to continue practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique.

A few days later, when Yingyue was concentrating on practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique, a piece of news spread throughout Konoha Village: Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village officially declared war on Konoha Village in the Fire Country and Sand Village in the Wind Country. This news was like a bomb, plunging the entire village into a tense atmosphere.

"It seems that war in the ninja world is inevitable." Uchiha Yingyue sighed secretly in his heart. He had already anticipated the occurrence of this situation, but when this moment really came, he still felt a little heavy.

The news that the Hidden Rain Village declared war on the Hidden Leaf Village reached Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

As the Third Hokage of Konoha, he had been committed to maintaining the stability and prosperity of the village, but now, a small country dared to declare war on a big country like Konoha, which made him angry.

"Do these guys from the Hidden Rain Village think that I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am weak and can be bullied?" Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself coldly.

This is not only a provocation to Konoha, but also a challenge to his personal authority. In order to maintain Konoha's prestige in the ninja world and to let other ninja villages see Konoha's strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to teach the Rain Country a severe lesson.

Not long after, Sarutobi Hiruzen summoned the village's top leaders for an emergency meeting.

Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, En Mitokado and others were all present.

Sarutobi Hiruzen informed everyone present of the news of the Hidden Rain Village's declaration of war, and calmly asked: "Everyone, regarding the Hidden Rain Village's provocative behavior, how should we respond?"

Danzo Shimura was the first to speak. He was the hawkish representative of Konoha and had always advocated the use of force to solve problems and expand Konoha's interests.

He said coldly: "We cannot show weakness this time. We must launch a strong counterattack against the Rain Country. This is not only to respond to their provocation, but also to let the entire ninja world know that Konoha's power should not be underestimated. If we allow this small country to provoke, other ninja villages will inevitably regard Konoha as a soft persimmon, and then our interests will be greatly damaged."

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En also expressed their agreement.

Koharu suggested: "If we don't respond strongly, the Daimyo's funding for Konoha may decrease, and the village's mission commissions will also decrease. This is not just a matter of face, but related to the fundamental interests of Konoha."

Mitomon En added: "Konoha's prestige is an important pillar for maintaining peace in the ninja world. If we don't fight back this time, other villages may also be ready to move and shake Konoha's position in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to their opinions carefully and had already made a decision in his mind.

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "You are right. Konoha cannot show weakness. Since the Hidden Rain Village dares to provoke us, we will teach them a profound lesson. Let them understand that the strength of Konoha is not something that any small country can underestimate."

In the conference room, the atmosphere gradually became tense and solemn.

Next, everyone began to discuss the specific plan for the expedition. After weighing various options, Sarutobi Hiruzen made an important decision: "This time, we will send troops to the Rain Country, not only to show Konoha's strength, but also to take this opportunity to train and support our new generation of strong men."

He continued, "Uchiha Kagezuki, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, these strong men of the younger generation will be the main force of our operation this time. Not only do they have strong strength, they also have the potential to become the pillars of Konoha in the future. Through this battle, I hope they can make a name for themselves and win the support of the people in the village."

Everyone agreed with the decision.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade are all Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite disciples, and they are likely to become the backbone of Konoha in the future.

Uchiha Kagezuki is the one that Uzumaki Mito has his eyes on, and his strength should not be underestimated. Letting these people lead most of Konoha's troops to go on the expedition can not only train their actual combat capabilities, but also show Konoha's young strength.

"As for the safety of the village," Sarutobi Hiruzen added, "Hatake Sakumo will stay in the village just in case. Sakumo's strength should not be underestimated. With him around, the village's defense will be no problem."

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's final decision, the meeting ended.

Konoha is about to launch a counterattack against the Rain Country. This is not only a war, but also a game that concerns the future of Konoha.

All forces are competing in this war, and the young generation of strong men are about to face their tests.

And Uchiha Kagezuki, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade and other new generation strongmen will also write their own legends in this battle.

Not long after, Uchiha Kagezuki was in his own training ground, practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique with great concentration.

Just as he was immersed in the wonderful perception of space-time ninjutsu, an Anbu ninja from Konoha appeared in front of him and handed him an urgent order.

"Lord Yingyue, this is the order from the Third Hokage, please take a look." The Anbu ninja said respectfully.

Uchiha Yingyue took the order and quickly read it carefully.

As the content of the order gradually came into view, his brows furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed again.

"Front-line commander?" Yingyue whispered to himself, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

The order clearly stated that since the Hidden Rain Village declared war on Konoha, Konoha Village decided to launch a counterattack to combat the provocative behavior of the Rain Country.

Uchiha Kagezuki was appointed as one of the front-line commanders of the Konoha Ninja Force, responsible for leading the troops to fight against the enemy.

What made Uchiha Yingyue even more concerned was that the order also mentioned that in addition to him, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru would also accept this appointment.

These three young strong men are all disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Now they will serve as front-line commanders with him to fight against the invasion of the Hidden Rain Village.

Uchiha Yingyue's thoughts were in a tizzy.

As a Jonin of Konoha Village, he has already established his reputation in the ninja world. Now being appointed as a frontline commander means that he will shoulder greater responsibilities and missions.

However, when thinking of his three colleagues Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru, Uchiha Kagezuki was also full of expectations.

Jiraiya's optimistic personality, Orochimaru's thirst for power, Tsunade's powerful strength and firm will, these three have their own strengths and a deep friendship with each other.

Serving as a commander with them and facing the challenges of the enemy together may become an important step in your growth.

"It seems that this will be a difficult battle." Uchiha Yingyue muttered to himself, and then firmly grasped the order in his hand. He was ready not only to prove his strength on the battlefield, but also to ensure Konoha's victory.

Uchiha Kagezuki then nodded to the Anbu ninja, "I understand, thank you for bringing the order."

The ANBU ninja bowed slightly and then disappeared from Shadow Moon's sight.
