Backup Plans Everywhere
The Land of Water, as the first place where the battle began, was also the first to experience change.
The incident began when a figure dressed in a green bodysuit charged back and forth within the Third Mist ninja Squad.
It also occasionally let out a strange shout or two.
Upon seeing this Konoha ninja with thick eyebrows, countless Mist ninja were reminded of a certain unbearable past event.
When the First Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist launched a surprise attack on Konoha, they were almost wiped out by a Konoha Genin.
Four died in battle, one defected on the spot, and in the end only the demoralized Suikazan Fuguki and Raiga Kurosuki managed to escape.
After further investigation, it was discovered that the ninja Genin the record for the highest-ranking Konoha Might Duy, and he only knew Ninjutsu, not Taijutsu.
He was a laughingstock in Konoha, always wearing a green bodysuit and practicing his Taijutsu on the streets of Konoha.
Legend has it, it seems, it's possible that Might Duy has a son who exercises just like him every day.
So when Might Guy arrogantly proclaimed his name as "Konoha's Blue Beast Might Guy," the morale of the Mist Ninja Army was almost shaken.
Keep in mind that their current commander is a Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist wielding Nuibari. Even their Mizukage is a Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist wielding the Samehada.
How are they supposed to fight? Even if Might Guy isn't as good as his father, do you think they can compare to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?
Fortunately, at this moment, Matsutani Shinya stepped forward and used his Elite Jonin strength to withstand Might Guy.
Guided by Matsutani Shinya, Might Guy was led to one side of the battlefield.
The battle escalated because Might Guy activated the Eight Gates Technique.
Kakashi knew that Might Guy's Eight Inner Gates couldn't last, so he took the initiative to approach Hozuki Mangetsu, who was wielding Nuibari.
These two, quite in sync, also ran to the edge of the battlefield to play a ninja game.
As Yichen's disciple, Matsutani Shinya was well aware of the characteristics of the Eight Gates Technique.
Therefore, he immediately chose to enter Sage Mode.
Meanwhile, Mei Terumi, not far from the battlefield, also encountered trouble.
While Mei Terumi and Ryosuke were fighting, someone suddenly appeared from the side.
This man is Ebizo.
Ebizo never showed his face again after being seriously injured in the Third Shinobi War, and the ninjas from other villages all thought he was dead.
Ebizo had already retired. In the original story, he and his siblings, Chiyo, lived a peaceful life after retirement until the protagonist Naruto, grew up.
But the situation was different this time. Chiyo had already died in battle, and when Rasa's order came down, Ebizo had no confidence to refuse.
On the other hand, with Chiyo dead, there's not much point in him living on alone.
Therefore, Ebizo was also determined to die and wanted to fight to the death in this First Shinobi War.
So when Ebizo recklessly attacked from the shadows, Mei Terumi almost fell victim to his attack.
Fortunately Uchiyama Takuhiro Wada Akio joined forces to stop Ebizo's attack.
Suda Himezuki also wanted to make a move, but was stopped by a look from Uchiyama Takuhiro.
The Mist Ninja Army is not yet at the point of collapse, Suda Himezuki can still preserve her strength.
But soon, things took a turn for the worse.
The change occurred on the battlefield between the Mist ninja First Division and the Cloud ninja.
The battle between the Fourth Raikage and Kisame was intense, but it wouldn't be easy for them to fight to the death.
Kisame was at a disadvantage from beginning to end, but he was very resilient, and it would not be easy for the Fourth Raikage to completely defeat him.
However, during the battle between the two armies, an unexpected incident occurred: an elite Cloud ninja from the Elite Jonin performed Summoning Jutsu by forming hand Hand Seals.
A giant tortoise appeared in the Cloud Ninja Army.
This turtle isn't the one from Turtle Island; it's probably one of its babies.
In battles fought by ordinary ninjas, a giant Summoning Beast can be enough to change the course of the battle.
The Mist ninja First Division had to fight and retreat, but fortunately the Giant Turtle was not fast, so the Mist Ninja Army did not suffer heavy losses immediately.
But if things continue like this, defeat is only a matter of time.
Fortunately, the Mist Ninja Army held out until the turning point arrived.
After receiving the news, Suda Himezuki arrived under the protection of a squad of Iwa Ninja Anbu.
Then she bit her finger, formed Hand Seals, and cast Summoning Jutsu, summoning Giant Panda.
That's right, the Giant Panda has lived in Iwagakure for several years has finally agreed to sign Summoning Contract with Suda Himezuki.
The price the Iwa ninja paid for this was helping the Giant Panda cultivate Senjutsu.
It was precisely because Suda Himezuki possessed such a Trump Card that she was temporarily transferred to the Mist ninja battlefield as Iwa ninja's Trump Card.
The Mist ninja was unlucky, because the Konoha Village, the Sunagakure, and the Cloud ninja Kirigakure all used it Wind Release: Breakthrough.
All three sides have prepared backup plans: Might Guy, Ebizo, and the Giant Turtle are all capable of changing the course of the battle.
Fortunately, the Iwa ninja provided support to the Mist ninja. The Iwa ninja they sent were not many and were not well-known, but they effectively blocked the counterattacks of the Konoha, Sunagakure, and Cloud ninja.
With the intervention of the Iwa ninja, the Mist ninja barely managed to stabilize their lines, and Konoha's strategy of a quick victory failed. Both sides were locked in a war of attrition that neither wanted.
Although Konoha, Sunagakure, Cloud ninja are all embroiled in a war of attrition, they are all hoping that their allies can break the deadlock.
If they knew that both of their allies' backup plans had failed, they might choose to retreat now.
However, they didn't know that this was, after all, the Land of Water, and their communication wasn't as smooth as that of the Mist ninja.
So the Land of Water immediately started a war of attrition.
Konoha, the ancestral home of the Uchiha Clan.
Shisui Uchiha received only indifference and exclusion from all his clansmen, and some even resentment.
Only the little Itachi brother could understand him, and only he, like him, inherited the Will of Fire.
Only he understood how much he had sacrificed to mediate the relationship between the village and his family.
Sure enough, after the tribesmen left in waves, Itachi's younger brother appeared right on time.
The two like-minded brothers poured out their hearts to each other for a long time, reaffirming their beliefs before Itachi Uchiha left.
However, Shisui Uchiha is now a traitor to the entire Uchiha Clan and an enemy of the people.
Naturally, some people don't want Itachi Uchiha to Shisui Uchiha.
So when Itachi Uchiha left Shisui Uchiha's house and was on his way home, some kind-hearted Uchiha stood up to persuade him.
"Itachi, stay away from that person. He's a traitor to our Uchiha Clan."
"Yes, Shisui doesn't deserve the Uchiha clan."
"Itachi, you are also a genius of our Uchiha Clan. When you grow up, you must defeat Shisui."
"Itachi, I heard you've joined Root. You'd better leave now."
"Yes, the Root is nowhere near as good as our Security Force. The Security Force is the true glory of our Uchiha Clan."
"Yes, last time Root even tried to harm our Uchiha clan."
"Itachi, you're still young. Listen to the elders in the clan and don't let yourself be brainwashed by the High-ranking officials like Shisui did."
"None of the High-ranking officials are good people; don't be fooled by them."
Itachi Uchiha originally didn't want to pay attention to these ordinary clansmen.
The Third Hokage was right. These guys were destined never to become Kage Level. Some of them didn't even Jonin. They couldn't possibly understand the relationship between the village and the clan.
Their weakness and mediocrity limited their vision!
Only geniuses like myself and Brother Shisui can transcend the limitations of our families, understand the Will of Fire, and see things from the perspective of the village.
The village is not a village of the Uchiha Clan; each person in the village has a different task.
Everyone in the village needs to work hard to get a position that matches their abilities.
Only our Uchiha Clan can get a job in the Security Force without doing anything.
The village has been more than kind to our Uchiha Clan, but these ungrateful clansmen still cry out to rebel Tenten.
The High-ranking officials knew the Uchiha Clan was planning a rebellion, but they didn't annihilate Uchiha Clan. High-ranking officials even hoped to change the Uchiha Clan through Shisui and themselves.
The village has always maintained peace and avoided civil war, but what about its own people? They're causing trouble Tenten.
"Ignore them, ignore what they say!" Itachi Uchiha repeatedly told himself.
"Itachi, you must set a good example for Sasuke. Never let Sasuke be ashamed of you." Suddenly, a voice entered Itachi Uchiha's ears.
"Sasuke? My dear brother? They still want to corrupt my brother with their narrow-minded thoughts?" Suddenly, Itachi Uchiha, who had been walking briskly towards home with a poker face, stopped in his tracks.
He suddenly activated his Sharingan, his eyes now displaying Three Tomoe!
"Hey, Itachi, your Sharingan has reached the Three Tomoe? That's great! You really are a genius. You can definitely surpass Shisui Uchiha. You'll definitely cleanse the Uchiha Clan of its corruption in the future." Some clueless guy was still chattering on and on.
Bang, bang, bang.
Itachi Uchiha could no longer restrain himself. He unleashed a series of punches, sending the three most unsuspecting clansmen flying.
Itachi Uchiha angrily retorted, "The Uchiha Clan! The Uchiha Clan! All you know Uchiha Clan!"
"You bunch of guys blinded by so-called family glory, you don't understand what a family or a village is at all."
"You have no idea how much Brother Shisui has sacrificed for the sake of the family and the village."
"It is because of arrogant people like you who only know how to separate the family from the village that the family has come to this point of being isolated by the entire village."
"But you still presumptuously talk about family honor. Do we deserve it? Do you really want to drive the family to the brink of destruction, and force the village to use force against us?"
After shouting those words at the top of his lungs, Itachi Uchiha finally felt much better.
Then, while everyone was still in a state of shock, Itachi Uchiha ran away without looking back.
After Itachi Uchiha left, an eerie silence fell over the clansmen on the street.
They don't hate Itachi Uchiha. Itachi Uchiha was just a child; he was simply deceived by the High-ranking officials.
They hate Shisui Uchiha for not being good himself and corrupting children. They hate the High-ranking officials for specifically targeting their geniuses.
Suddenly a voice rang out. "Why? Why has our clan's genius been brainwashed by the High-ranking officials again?"
"The High-ranking officials are trying to make our Uchiha Clan kill each other so they can reap the benefits."
"We can't let the High-ranking officials run rampant like this anymore."
"Yes, we must take action, otherwise sooner or later our Uchiha Clan will be torn apart by the village."
"Rebel! While the village is weakened, let's seize power!"
"Yes, now is the best opportunity. Even if Shisui, that traitor, betrayed his clan, the village only has Tsunade as a Kage Level ninja right now."
"Yes, we have the clan chief and Quan Luo. We also have Izanagi."
Upon hearing the name Izanagi, the room fell silent for a moment, then many people chimed in, "That's right, we still have Izanagi."
Gradually, all voices became unified, and more and more Uchiha members joined this frenzy.
This excitement spread throughout the Uchiha Clan Compound, eventually alerting both Shisui Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha.
The two arrived on the street one after the other and watched this scene unfold.
Fugaku Uchiha frowned slightly, his head aching from his clansmen's occasional outbursts of madness.
Shisui Uchiha's eyes showed sadness; he felt that his clansmen's thinking was becoming increasingly extreme.
The plot is tense; I just finished writing one page, so I'll upload it right away.
