Konoha Split! Two Fifth Hokage!

A dilapidated stone bridge at the border between the Land of Iron and Konoha, as if it had been bitten by something.

"Such an ending!"

When Jiraiya and saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh softly, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Shimura Danzō of the Shinobi World, was gone just like that. Such an ending truly evoked countless emotions.

"Jiraiya was Jiraiya a Rogue Ninja. What good were his achievements? Just like the First Hokage, does anyone in Konoha even remember him now?"

Emerging from the shadows, Uchiha Yoruro a mocking smile, even mocking the Third Hokage's Will of Fire, which had caused Konoha to have long forgotten the achievements of the First and Second Hokage.

"Hokage-sama!"

Might Guy and Uchiha Itachi also rushed over and protected Uchiha Yoru, demonstrating their duty as protectors to the fullest.

The two Sage of the Toads have returned to Mount Myōboku, and with the activation of Sage Mode, Jiraiya's appearance has gradually returned to normal.

At that moment, Orochimaru slowly walked onto the stone bridge, licking his tongue and revealing a wicked smile.

"Heh heh, I never expected that the culprit who managed to lure out the Nine-Tails this time would be Madara Uchiha!"

Beneath that knowing smile, Uchiha Yoru scoffed, "A cowardly rat hiding his head and tail, how could he compare to Madara Uchiha?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and said, "The glory of the First and Madara Uchiha has long since vanished from Konoha. The mere few decades under the Third Hokage's rule have made the Konoha Ninja forget their past."

"However, the scrolls of the Uchiha Clan also record that Elder Uchiha Setsuna witnessed two beings who quelled the chaos in the Shinobi World when he was young. Madara Uchiha's charisma would never be hidden. Moreover, people may change, but the Mangekyo Sharingan's Dōjutsu will not change!"

At this point, Uchiha Yoru smiled and said, "Although I don't know the Dōjutsu Madara Uchiha Mangekyo, it's definitely not Space-Time Ninjutsu. Furthermore, based on the enemy's Wood Style Physique, I suspect he was probably Wood Style Experiment Subject back then."

Wood Style Experiment Subject!

Upon hearing this speculation, Jiraiya visibly hardened. He naturally knew that the Wood Release experiment led by the Third Hokage of Konoha had ended in tragedy.

But considering Root Danzo's methods, who knows how many evil materials he secretly added? He even turned himself into this state, so he must have had test subjects.

The Nine-Tails' Rampage and this ambush both demonstrate the other party's hatred for Konoha. If they were truly from the Uchiha Clan, they should have been secretly helping them.

Furthermore, the Wood Release and Sharingan are two Kekkei Genkai Konoha could not have leaked. This means that it is highly likely that the person was an experimental subject who survived and escaped by accident, which is why they hate Konoha so much.

"It should be similar to the experimental subject that Teacher Orochimaru secretly launched under the Wood Release Project of Root. At the time, the experiment was almost considered a failure, but when Danzo went to clean up the traces, he unexpectedly discovered the surviving Wood Release Experiment Subject 'Kō,' who is now 'Yamato' in the Konoha Anbu."

Listening to Uchiha Yoru's account, Jiraiya couldn't help but rub his temples, his head throbbing with pain. What else was that old guy from the previous generation hiding? And what about the Third Hokage?!

The fact that Konoha has another Wood Release Experiment Subject ninja means that it is indeed possible that the other party survived by accident from Konoha's laboratory.

"Heh heh, interesting. It seems there are still many secrets hidden between Wood Release and the Sharingan."

As a scientist, Orochimaru didn't care about conspiracies or anything like that; right now, his excited snake eyes were only filled with interest in the new world he had discovered.

Orochimaru.

Jiraiya tried to persuade Orochimaru to stay and return to Konoha, but Orochimaru's sinister smile caused his body to gradually turn into mud.

"Heh heh, Lord Yoru, it seems you've reached another level." With that, Orochimaru's snake-like eyes turned to Jiraiya, and he sneered, "You idiot Jiraiya, you better not die."

Clearly, this is Orochimaru's unusual concern. Given Jiraiya's personality, he will likely investigate secretly, and such a being is enough to threaten their lives.

"Damn Orochimaru!"

Faced with Orochimaru's taunts, Jiraiya immediately bristled, glaring at Orochimaru who had turned into mud and water, shouting, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Jiraiya, I need your help this time!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru turned to Jiraiya and solemnly stated his request. Jiraiya fell silent upon hearing this, as he had never wanted to get involved in this matter.

"A terrifying enemy has emerged in Konoha, and even the Shinobi World, as you have seen. Moreover, while the Third Hokage's administration has had its merits, its faults have far outweighed its merits."

"As the Second Hokage's guards, they did abandon the Hokage and flee back to the village, no matter what. But look at White Fang's attitude... Hmph, Jiraiya, do you think they're ashamed? One abandoned the Hokage to inherit Konoha, and the other abandoned his mission for his comrades."

"If the White Fang incident was a mistake, and the mission should have been carried out, then why didn't they risk their lives to protect the Second Generation back then?"

"And there are countless other things. Konoha has gone from being a formidable force in the Shinobi World to having its military capabilities surpassed by Kumogakure and Iwagakure."

Uchiha Yoru angrily recounted the decline and corruption of Konoha over the past few decades, revealing a look of deep pain and disgust.

"With my current strength, I am capable of carrying out Armed Coup, but I didn't! Why? Wasn't it for Konoha, for a stronger village?"

Looking at Uchiha Yoru, who was already carrying such a heavy burden at such a young age, Jiraiya and sighed with a wry smile, "Kid, I admit your eloquence, your strength, and your methods are indeed stronger than the Third Hokage's."

Jiraiya agreed to stand by his side, mainly because of the terrifying enemy that suddenly appeared.

When a powerful, hidden enemy is present, internal conflicts begin to shift, and under external pressure, Jiraiya has already made his decision.

The village can't afford to drag this out any longer; it seems they really need to overpower the other side to maintain peace in the village.

Madara Uchiha!

At this moment, Jiraiya was secretly pondering. He even suspected that the Root's secret Human Experimentation were using a combination of Madara Uchiha's bloodline and Wood Release. Otherwise, why would the other party call himself Madara Uchiha so readily?

Putting aside Jiraiya's own imagination, Uchiha Yoru smiled after seeing Jiraiya nod.

With the situation under control and the net already cast, it remains to be seen how much the harvest will be this time.

The Five Kage Summit, which attracted much attention in the Shinobi World, captivated the hearts of almost the entire Shinobi World.

The result was that the Shinobi World was thrown into turmoil, and the four great nations of Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, Land of Wind, Land of Water respectively claimed the title of Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yoru.

However, at the same time, the Daimyo of Konoha Daimyo of the Land of Fire appointed Tsunade as the Fifth Hokage, causing the entire Shinobi World to open their eyes wide.

The fact that two Fifth Hokage Konoha have appeared in Konoha at the same time—what does that mean? It's clearly a situation that's about to escalate into civil war and division.

Even more shocking news is that the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, was attacked on his way back from the Five Kage Summit that very night!

At this moment, Konoha directly attracted the attention of the entire Shinobi World. The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yoru, was attacked midway, which immediately made the situation tense. Even the Third Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was in Konoha, was filled with anger.

He originally intended for Tsunade to suppress the Uchiha, but the nature of the attack changed unexpectedly, which was practically tantamount to him saying that he fired the first shot.

The situation is on the verge of a dangerous accident, and the prelude to an impending storm is palpable in Konoha.

Stone Village.

Inside the Tsuchikage's office, an Uchiha ninja from Konoha rushed in with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Tsuchikage, the Fifth Hokage, Lord Yoru, has ordered me to come and request your assistance!"

Upon returning to the village, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, observed the turbulent situation in the Shinobi World. His face was serious, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

"What's going on? I've only just returned to the village, and the Fifth Hokage has already sent someone to ask for help?"

In the tense atmosphere of Konoha, where a conflict could erupt at any moment, you, the Tsuchikage, don't know? The entire Shinobi World knows, how could you not?

But this time, the Uchiha ninja who came had anxiety in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The Fifth Hokage Lord Yoru, was attacked on his way back. The situation in the Land of Fire is now extremely precarious. The Ninja legion of the Third Hokage's forces has already put on a threatening posture, and we urgently need reinforcements."

Holy crap! This looks like war is about to break out!

The proud Uchiha Clan had actually come to ask for help. At this moment, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, blushed and was filled with excitement.

I never imagined he would witness the Konoha civil war in his lifetime. It was all worth it!

"Damn it! Sarutobi has actually gone against the justice of the Shinobi World! Rest assured, for the peace of the Shinobi World, and even more so for the justice of the Fifth Hokage, Iwagakure will definitely do its utmost to help."

"Lord Tsuchikage, our ninja forces are outnumbered, so we urgently need to request a batch of war supplies, especially Explosive Tag!"

With things having come to this point, especially given the tense situation in Konoha, Ōnoki had already considered many things, but his resolve had hardened.

The Uchiha are currently at a disadvantage. They can afford to lose, but they absolutely cannot lose so quickly. They must weaken Konoha to the greatest extent possible.

"Rest assured! Stone Village has always stood firmly on the side of justice. On behalf of Iwagakure, I hereby inform the Shinobi World that we will immediately send a batch of war supplies, one million Explosive Tag, to the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru!"

Ōnoki slammed his fist on the table with an air of righteous indignation, as if he deeply loathed those who disrupted the peace.

The Uchiha ninja nodded excitedly and said, "Thank you Third Tsuchikage. I need to return to Konoha immediately to help the Fifth Generation."

"From among those who come, send out an elite squad to escort our ally from Konoha."

"Yes!"

Seeing the Uchiha ninjas rushing back, Ōnoki became even more convinced of the tense situation in Konoha.

Furthermore, the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, sent envoys to Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Stone Village simultaneously.

The situation in the Shinobi World instantly became turbulent. The Third Tsuchikage, the Fourth Raikage, and the Fourth Kazekage joined forces and led a group of neighboring small ninja villages to denounce the corruption of the Third Hokage's regime in Konoha.

He stood firmly on the side of the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, and at that moment, the legend of the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, spread throughout the Shinobi World.

Justice! That was the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru.

In an instant, ninjas were in turmoil, with the Three Great Shinobi Villages joining forces with a number of smaller ninja villages. In addition to issuing statements of condemnation, they also jointly transported the first batch of supplies.

The supplies consisted mainly of ninja tools, Explosive Tag, and medical supplies. This was hardly a righteous and peaceful aid mission; it was an order to provide weapons, as if they were afraid that Konoha wouldn't fight.

The Land of Water is rather strange. Something has happened to the Hidden Kirigakure, which is under a policy of isolation. However, one thing is certain: in the face of the turbulent situation in the Shinobi World, the Kirigakure has become quiet.

However, all the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World simultaneously acknowledged the Mist Ninja Rebel Army who were based in the Land of Whirlpools, and even recognized their identity as the Fifth Mizukage.

Good heavens! Konoha has produced two Fifth Hokage and a retired Third Hokage. Three Kage from one village have already caused turmoil in the Shinobi World, and civil war is imminent.

As a result, two Mizukage appeared in Kirigakure, one being the Fourth Hokage and the other the Fifth Generation.

At this moment, the situation in the Shinobi World has gradually become clear. It is obvious that this is a conspiracy by the major ninja villages to split the Mist Ninja and the Konoha. For a time, the Mist Ninja Shinobi World the Konoha felt like they were about to fall from their pedestals.

However, the Land of Water remained silent in the face of this scene, as if they hadn't seen anything. What happened next instantly made all the knowledgeable ninjas realize the problem.

The Mist Ninja Rebel Army at the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, the Fifth Mizukage officially formed an alliance with the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, and even signed Defensive and Offensive Alliance Treaty.

At the same time, the Fifth Mizukage withdrew from several island territories that had been occupied by the neighboring Kirigakure.

At this moment, the entire Shinobi World understood that the Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, had joined forces. The reason why the Land of Water remained silent was because this Mist Ninja Rebel Army clearly intended to merge with the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, of the Land of Fire.

The leaders of the various Shinobi World villages suddenly realized that this Five Kage Summit was truly going to change the landscape of the Shinobi World.

The Mist Ninja feigned ignorance and simply remained silent and ceased hostilities, which was enough to persuade this Rebel Army force to join Konoha and thus escape the flames of war.

Such a large-scale operation seemed to go unnoticed by the Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, who instead provided numerous favorable conditions for the merger of the two major powers.

This is clearly a move to shift the war to the Land of Fire, while simultaneously strengthening the power of the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yoru, thus leading to a conflict within Konoha.

In just a few days, the turmoil in the Shinobi World was greater than in the past few decades.

The first Five Kage Summit confirmed the transcendent status of the Five Great Nations. The second Five Kage Summit, it is clear, will similarly alter the landscape of the Shinobi World.

Konoha, the dominant force in the Shinobi World for so many years, will fall from its pedestal the moment the civil war begins.

Meanwhile, the Kirigakure of the Land of Water remained silent, yet it was the biggest beneficiary at the moment. First, the civil war had stopped. Second, the Rebel Army forces had shifted their focus to Konoha.

The day the Konoha civil war ends will be the day when Kirigakure reclaims its lost territory. Konoha may even be weakened further and could take a bite out of the Land of Fire.

As for the ambitious Cloud Ninja and Iwakage, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by after Konoha's fall from grace.

The Sunagakure would probably be the first to jump out and sever all treaties with Konoha.
