The Uchiha Clan Puts Filial Piety First

This fact made him want to complain.

Kakuzu, you son of a bitch! Is money that important!? Don't you have any dignity as Kage Level shinobi!?

Well, money really is quite important.

However, some things are more important than money.

Having confirmed Kakuzu wouldn't catch up, the Uchiha Clan stopped dawdling and went all out.

At Kannabi Bridge, two heroes with Sharingan were born during the Third Shinobi World War.

This place was also the turning point in the war between Leaf Village and Iwagakure.

The Iwa Rock Ninja, who favored mass troop deployments, sending out thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers at a time, fully exposed their weaknesses in this battle—a huge number of lower-ranking ninjas and an extremely small number of higher-ranking ninjas, resulting in very poor overall troop quality.

Among the Iwagakure Ninja at the Kannabi Bridge base were three Jonin, but these three Jonin... were simply laughable.

Otherwise, what's the point of just blowing up the bridge?

It's simply because there are far too few mid-to-high-level ninjas among those Rock Ninja. Expecting them to Water Walking rivers by walking on water is like expecting them to reclaim land from the sea.

Not to mention using Earth Release to create a bridge and then maintaining Chakra input to keep it from collapsing; it's not that the Rock Ninja didn't want to, but there were too many weaklings who couldn't keep it stable.

The formidable team of fifty Jonin was wiped out in one fell swoop by Namikaze Minato on the front lines. One can only imagine the general level of Iwagakure's high-ranking ninjas.

This battle was fought terribly.

But in Uchiha Shingen's eyes, there was only one meaning here.

Uchiha Madara's underground villa.

Kannabi Bridge is located within the territory of the Land of Grass.

Uchiha Shingen first returned to the Land of Land of Fire from the Land of Hot Water, and then headed west.

He entered the territory of the Land of Grass as the sun rose for the second time.

Like a reed in the wind, the Land of Grass initially sided with the Land of Earth during the Third Shinobi World War, but after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, it immediately threw itself into the arms of the Land of Fire.

The Grass Ninja are not good at fighting, but they are first-rate at intelligence gathering, and they can detect any movement in the Ninja World at the first moment.

They are very thorough in monitoring whether ninjas from other countries are entering their territory.

Not long after Uchiha Shingen entered the Land of Grass, he encountered ninjas from the Kusagakure.

There was no arrogance, no mindless posturing.

The other party was only there to verify their identity.

Yes, the Land of Grass expresses an open attitude towards ninjas from various major powers.

But if it's a small country, then sorry, this is an invasion of its territory.

Of course, the way they are treated will differ depending on their background; after all, even small countries are divided into different classes.

The attitude towards the ninjas from the great powers is consistent: they're just passing through, no problem! Our Land of Grass welcomes friends from all corners of the world!

Upon seeing the Leaf Village Forehead Protector on Uchiha Shingen's head, the Grass Ninja all wore expressions reminiscent of wanderers seeing their fathers after a long absence.

When they saw Uchiha Shingen's face clearly, their smiles became even more friendly.

"Lord Shingen, it is an honor for our country to have you visit the Land of Grass."

The leader, Grass Ninja, was incredibly enthusiastic.

Uchiha Shingen almost thought he had arrived at Leaf Village's commercial district.

It annoyed him.

"I'm just passing by," Uchiha Shingen said helplessly.

"I understand, I understand, you don't want to reveal your whereabouts," the Grass Ninja leading the group said confidently. "We've never seen you before, so just do your job and let us know if you need anything!"

"Thanks." That was all Uchiha Shingen could say.

They were also quite impressed with the surveillance system used in Kusagakure.

While this is related to the limited land area of Land of Grass, the Grass Ninja's internal surveillance system is truly excellent.

I really hope the ANBU can learn a lot from this. In the original timeline, Kakuzu turned the Hidan Fire Temple into ruins, and Leaf Village didn't even know. It was only when the people from the Fire Temple went to inform them that they found out.

Not to mention the Konoha Crush, the Sand Village's combat forces directly reached the outside of Leaf Village's walls.

What kind of trashy business acumen is this?

Is it really because the area is too big to manage?

After exchanging greetings, the Grass Ninja disappeared completely from Uchiha Shingen's sight.

Uchiha Shingen continued on his way.

The ruins of Kannabi Bridge are getting closer and closer to him.

Finally, he saw the bridge, which was now only half hanging on the rock face.

The Land of Grass didn't even bother to rebuild the bridge.

Chapter 46 The Uchiha Clan Values Filial Piety

The ruins of the Kannabi Bridge, now only half-built, still faintly reveal its former grandeur and magnificence.

Being able to become the lifeline of the Rock Ninja army, it is naturally no ordinary bridge.

Originating from the high mountains of the Land of Earth, the river flows through the Land of Stone and is replenished by hundreds of tributaries in the Land of Rain, greatly increasing its volume. It then makes a bend and enters the Land of Waterfalls of the Hokage Continent. The river then widens, reaching a maximum width of nearly three thousand meters and an average depth of no less than one hundred meters within the Land of Grass.

Within the Land of Grass, the largest bridge across the river is the Kannabi Bridge, which is also the narrowest point of the river, yet it is still nearly a kilometer long.

The bridge was designed to allow six large vehicles to travel side by side, but now it is dilapidated and in a state of disrepair.

The dilapidated bridge even has deep gaps large enough to fit an adult man to sleep inside.

As Uchiha Shingen strolled toward the ruined bridge, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge rock with the words "Kannabi Bridge" carved in large red characters.

Bright red, like blood.

It was tragically burned down and torn apart, and it has only been three years since then.

The sky that day must have glowed red under the light of the flames, and the river surface was also dyed a deep red.

It was here that Uchiha Madara as his eye, watched as Uchiha Obito gradually stepped onto the path he had designed.

That's not good.

We're all from the Uchiha Clan, so shouldn't those who know have a share?

Uchiha Shingen stepped onto the bridge. The bluestone path was already full of potholes and overgrown with weeds.

Looking down, the river flowed "whoosh," as if mocking people for always thinking they are the most intelligent of all beings and can do anything, only to end up with nothing.

A bridge spans east and west, turning a natural barrier into a thoroughfare.

There are plenty of Explosive Tag; use them however you like.

You should have some self-awareness; don't think the world can't function without you.

World peace is something we can hope for, but we shouldn't always try to force others to follow our lead. We're not the queen of the Zerg, where even when we're squatting on the ground eating our lunchboxes, dogs are there to act cute next to us.

Uchiha Shingen figured that the Daimyo's refusal to repair the bridge had probably angered him.

Screw you, whoever wants to fix it can fix it, I'm not fixing it!

Uchiha Madara Uchiha Shingen didn't know where Madara Uchiha's villa with an ICU was located; he only knew that it was located above the place Uchiha Obito.

Moreover, there was a tiny bit of an interest in Uchiha Shingen's Hashirama Cells, but he was very interested in Uchiha Madara's remains.

This doesn't count as digging up a grave; it's just a visit.

Even if he were a purebred Uchiha Clan, it wouldn't be a problem for him to do this.

Anyone who watches Hokage knows that the Uchiha Clan values filial piety above all else.

The Four Outstanding Filial Piety Heroes – who doesn't know them?

Uchiha Shingen wandered around the bridge for a while, beginning to search for the battlefield where Hatake Kakashi and his group Jonin the death against the Jonin of Iwagakure.

This is clearly recorded in Leaf Village, and the Uchiha Clan, as relatives of the hero, also received a copy of the report, which contained very detailed records of the battle's location and process.

Uchiha Shingen found this place.

Years ago, Konoha Ninja followed Hatake Kakashi's directions to this place to search for Uchiha Obito's remains, but found nothing.

They concluded that a series of landslides had occurred, burying Uchiha Obito deep into the earth along with the falling rocks. They even used Earth Release to search for him.

Even though three years have passed, it's still clear what happened here.

In the Hokage world, there are basically no reliable conspiracies. Most so-called conspiracies rely on information asymmetry, which is why ninjas value intelligence more than their own lives.

A group of people who have focused all their energy on Euler Euler from beginning to end don't have the time or inclination to play complicated games.

If something can be solved with a single punch, there's no need to overthink it.

Once you have the information, as long as you grasp the right direction, you're less likely to suffer losses.

Uchiha Shingen hasn't suffered any losses in this loop. The villains these days are really simple and straightforward, and their behavior patterns are too easy to predict.

He began searching diligently.

Three years later, many traces had been buried and destroyed, but relying on the records from that year and following the remaining traces, Uchiha Shingen still found the place where Uchiha Obito was crushed by a stone.

First, he used Wind Release to cut the boulder into several pieces. He then cut into the rocks with his hands as easily as cutting tofu. With a burst of Uchiha Shingen strength, he shoved the dismembered parts aside.

You can tell by looking at the indentations.

Multiple landslides? Forget about it. Nothing's been done.

It seems that before Uchiha Obito Mangekyo Sharingan, when he faced a life-or-death situation, his eye power already possessed some of the characteristics of Kamui.

Although half of his body was crushed to pieces, his Sharingan was still intact.

It was precisely because of this ability that Zetsu was able to bring him into Uchiha Madara's villa.

This should be it!

Immortal markings adorn his face, Sharingan awakens.

Concentrating all his Chakra in his hands, Kagutsuchi Art: Senjutsu - Majestic Attire at full power!

The white Chakra blade turned red. As Uchiha Shingen continuously poured Chakra into it, the Chakra Blade, now Flame Blade, suddenly extended like a magic staff, piercing into the rock layer and continuously thrusting downwards.

Although he can no longer activate Susanoo, Uchiha Shingen is now able to infuse fire-attribute transformation into his "Majestic Attire," Kagutsuchi further enhances the transformation capabilities of the "Majestic Attire."

The benefits of Chakra are now apparent.

The longer the Flame Blade extends, the more Chakra is required to maintain this form; once a certain limit is exceeded, the Chakra consumption doubles.

But Uchiha Shingen was a man who had fought against the Nine-Tails all night, so he could hold on.

To be honest, this ground is so hard; it doesn't even have a speck of mud in it, it's all rock.

This made him even more certain that the place he was standing on was the "roof" of the villa.

With a roof like this, there's no need to worry about leaks.

Someone that old and weathered can't possibly be dragging a hose around and holding a mop every time it rains, can they? And wouldn't they have to bend over to wring out the mop?

That's ridiculous. Uchiha Shingen would rather believe that Madara breathes fire from underground whenever it rains.

"Hmm?" Uchiha Shingen suddenly felt his Flame Blade enter an empty space.

He didn't jump to conclusions; he continued to explore the topic.

When the Flame Blade touched the solid object again, he estimated the distance.

There is plenty of height.

But that's not enough.

With a sudden thought, after a while, the Flame Blade, which had already entered the open space, "separated" into more branches under his control, extending in all directions.

This time it was huge, almost to the limit, yet it didn't touch any solid objects. Without a doubt, this was a very large space.

Retracting the branch that had extended to its limit, Uchiha Shingen finally controlled the Flame Blade, transforming its end into the shape of a hand, and slapped down a Flying Thunder God Seal where it had emerged.

The distance was too long, causing delays and wasting his time.

Slowly retracting his Flame Blade, Uchiha Shingen plopped down on the ground.
