Shunren to abandon Danzo surveillance, but it was clear that Shunren, who was at a disadvantage in every aspect, could not achieve his goal of intimidating the other party.
And indeed, not long after, Danzo sent surveillance personnel to his house again. Shunren, with the Vision Ward installed on the roof, was able to expose the enemy immediately and even forced them to retreat several times by force.
Danzo seemed to have figured out Shunren's bottom line, and ordered his men to stay only in the outer area of the house, not within a kilometer.
This can be considered a compromise between the two sides, but the Shunren will definitely suffer. Imagine the roots lurking around. Although they usually don't take any action and don't affect the Shunren's lives, they occasionally use their Sensory Technique to shine around the Shunren. This feeling is extremely unpleasant!
Shunren was furious about this, and several times he couldn't resist rushing out to unleash a Getsuga Tensho on the enemy. However, Shunren knew that if he did so, he would fall even deeper into Danzo's trap. Given the vast difference in strength between himself and his enemy, Shunren had no choice but to endure.
Cultivation!
Shunren intensified his cultivation day after day!
A year has passed since the Third Shinobi World War, and many significant events have occurred in the outside world during this time.
The Third Shinobi World War, Year 1:
First, the Cloud Ninja launched a surprise attack on Konoha, officially starting the first battle of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The result was unexpected; the well-prepared Cloud Ninja suffered a defeat in their first battle against Konoha.
There are two reasons:
First, the commander of the Konoha Northeast Army Group was Konoha Sannin, the most renowned of the Orochimaru of Konoha.
Secondly, the Konoha spy ninja "Tenzen" who infiltrated the Cloud Ninja served as both a source of false information about Konoha to the Cloud Ninja and a means to steal military secrets from the Cloud Ninja for Konoha.
Result: Cloud Ninja vs. Konoha, Konoha wins.
Next, the Stone Ninja crossed the border and launched a surprise attack on Konoha.
Stone Ninja sent out Tsuchikage son, the Kitsuchi, Konoha, while Konoha sent out the young ninja, Minato Namikaze, who was only just beginning to gain fame in the Shinobi World. This battle was quite unexpected. As Minato Namikaze from Konoha, Minato Stone Ninja- established Kitsuchi from Iwagakure, even gaining a slight advantage in individual battles. Kitsuchi, however, managed to win a point in team battles. Overall, it was a close contest, and it was because of this battle that the name "Yellow Flash" began to rise in the Shinobi World.
Result: Stone Ninja vs. Konoha, draw.
Almost simultaneously, the Sand Ninja launched a massive invasion of Konoha.
The Sand Rasa immediately fielded the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Sand Ninja, while the Konoha side was led by the Uchiha Clan, commanded by the current Uchiha Clan patriarch Uchiha Kyosho. Rasa challenged Kyosho a duel, and after a brief exchange, both sides held back and did not use their full strength, ending the battle thereafter. In the ensuing clashes between the two armies, they traded blows.
Result: Sand Ninja vs. Konoha, draw.
In their final battle of the year, the Mist Ninja crossed the sea to Konoha.
The Mist Ninja sent the head of the Yuki Clan, while Konoha also Hyuga clan, a top-tier powerhouse. This battle was quite surprising. The outside world initially believed that Konoha, playing on home ground and commanded by the head of the Hyuga Clan, had a better chance of winning. However, the head of the Hyuga Clan was unexpectedly assassinated in an unexplained attack. Taking advantage of Konoha's disarray, the Mist Ninja launched a massive attack, resulting in a crushing defeat for Konoha.
Result: Mist Ninja vs. Konoha, victory.
These are the Third Shinobi World War. Although the four major ninja villages did not form an alliance, their attacks on Konoha were coordinated as planned. Konoha's achievement of one win, one loss, and two draws despite being surrounded by enemies on all sides is already quite remarkable.
Just how brutal were the four battles in the first year?
None of this concerned Shunren, as he did not participate in the war. During that year, Shunren was tasked with expelling various intruders and also took the opportunity to rapidly improve his own strength.
However, Shunren understood that as the war intensified in the second year, Konoha would eventually go so far as to send all the village's young ninjas to the battlefield, just like Kakashi Obito in the original story, who would face near-death experiences.
Especially since Shunren had already attracted the attention of Konoha High Command, he knew he couldn't remain aloof for long.
Danzo from Danzo's tough attitude towards him, Shunren could already foresee that he would be sent to the front lines as cannon fodder by a single order.
Shunren thought that since he couldn't escape the fate of being sent to the battlefield, at least he should be allowed to choose which side of the battlefield to fight on!
With this attitude, Shunren arrived at the Konoha Military Police Force.
Uchiha Fugaku is the current captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, holding the reins of Konoha's internal policing. However, Shunren knows that Fugaku is ambitious and plots to seize the position of Uchiha Clan Head. He will not submit to the village and will definitely go to the front lines to fight and gain merit.
When Shunren arrived at the Konoha Military Police Force, he saw that Fugaku had already taken off his Konoha Military Police Force uniform and put on a Konoha Jonin vest, while giving instructions to his subordinates. He had probably temporarily handed over the position of Konoha Military Police Force captain to someone else, preparing to go to the battlefield.
"Shunren, you've finally arrived?" Fugaku's eyes gleamed when he saw Shunren, convinced that Shunren had already submitted to him.
Shunren didn't waste any words, stating his purpose in one sentence. "Fugaku, please allow me to seek you out and join the battle."
Fugaku looked pleased and patted him earnestly on the shoulder, saying, "Shunren, I have high hopes for you. You are one of the best among the younger generation of our Uchiha Clan! Work hard for me, and when I become the head of the Uchiha Clan one day, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!"
Shunren remained unmoved and uninterested in Fugaku's empty promises, simply saying, "If you won't treat me unfairly, how about giving me that A-rank Golden Binding Genjutsu 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique' and 'Kagami-Style Body Flicker Technique'?"
"Advanced Sharingan Dōjutsu, and the advanced Body Flicker Technique developed by my predecessor Kagami Uchiha..." Fugaku's eyes flashed coldly, and he chuckled, "You're asking for these two techniques right off the bat. Isn't Shunren's appetite a bit too big?"
