Chapter 120
Unfortunately, he underestimated the strength of the Sand Ninja, Rasa, the Tailed Beast, and the Chiyo siblings.
The Sand Ninja had deployed its elite forces; it would be quite an achievement if they could hold the Konoha Border for as long as possible.
Even if Konoha is defeated, Liuyun is not worried about Tsunade's safety at all.
With his name on their side, if the Sand Ninja didn't want to disappear from the Five Great Nations, the Chiyo siblings would absolutely not dare to use any means against Tsunade.
Shaking his head, Liuyun banished the jumbled thoughts from his mind.
Regardless of how the Third Shinobi World War go, at worst, in the final year, I can just go all out and handle everything.
Gaa gaa gaa!
A hoarse cry flew across the Liuyun.
"Crows??"
"Could it be... Shisui Uchiha?"
With a slight upturn of his lips, Liuyun's mind stirred, and he vanished from the spot.
In a forest, a five- or six-year-old boy was scattering a bag of crumbs of pasta on the ground.
Crows scrambled to land on the ground and began eating the food in front of them.
The little boy's innocent face reflected a maturity and worry that seemed out of place.
Why must there be war? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to live happily together?
"Why must there be war? What did the village do wrong? Why do they all want to fight us?"
"Because human desires are endless!"
"He's like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once he starts, he can't stop! You're being too naive!"
A gentle voice sounded behind him, Shisui Uchiha quickly turned around, his small face showing vigilance.
"You... you're the clan leader? Clan Leader Liuyun!!"
Looking at the figure in front of him, Shisui Uchiha's face showed a hint of excitement.
Liuyun's deeds were passed down orally among the Uchiha Clan, and his status was almost on par with that of the Uchiha Clan's ancestor, Madara Uchiha.
All the children of the Uchiha Clan idolized Liuyun and worshipped him immensely.
"It's me!" Liuyun walked up to Shisui Uchiha, rubbed his (damp) little head, and said with a smile.
"Child! Your thinking is too naive! Not everyone is as kind as you!"
"Clan leader, I don't quite understand..." Shisui Uchiha's large eyes were full of question marks.
Human nature is a very complex thing; even I haven't fully understood it, let alone you.
But one thing is clear: every leader in every country has their own ambitions.
Their inflated ambitions fueled their desires, and war ensued.
Do you know why all the ninja villages are attacking Konoha this time?
Shisui shook his head. After all, he was only five or six years old. How mature could he possibly be?
That's because our Konoha has a unique geographical environment that the other Four Nations don't have.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, the climate is spring-like all year round, and it is also very suitable for growing rice and other crops.
Chapter 182 Konoha Year 47! Senju and Uchiha to the Battle! (2 Updates!)
A seed was planted to Shisui, Konoha has been in existence for 47 years!
"Do you know what the environment is like in the other Four Nations?"
"I've seen it in the textbook!" Shisui frowned. "The Land of Wind is all desert, barren of everything!"
"The Land of Lightning is built on towering mountains, shrouded in mist, where deafening thunder echoes!"
"The Land of Earth is surrounded by rocky mountains, possessing a formidable defense..."
"The Land of Water is built on an island, shrouded in mist year-round!!"
"That's where the difference comes in! We're both from the Five Great Shinobi Villages, but we live in such poor conditions, while you live in such good ones!"
"Inner discontent breeds ambition, which eventually becomes reality, leading to the current Shinobi World War!"
"The Shinobi World War, in the end, was all about fighting for resources and profits... do you understand?"
Shisui shook his head!
"That's good that you don't understand. By the time you understand, you won't be yourself anymore!" Liuyun said with a smile.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you think the village is better or the family?"
"The village is very nice, they're very welcoming, the family is also very kind and caring... Can I not choose it?" Shisui's eyes were filled with confusion and hesitation.
"You think the village treats you well because of your identity, because you're from the Uchiha Clan!"
"Family??" Shisui looked at Liuyun.
"That's right! The village is kind to you entirely because you're Uchiha!"
"Come with me, today I'll show you how the village treats other people."
Grabbing Shisui's hand, Liuyun vanished from the spot in an instant.
He was determined to plant a seed in Shisui Uchiha's heart today, no matter what.
In a narrow street, Liuyun and Shisui appear.
Inside, a chorus of sounds of mutual punches and screams filled the air.
A moment later, several people came out looking dissatisfied, one of whom, with a short temper, even wanted to attack Shisui.
But upon seeing the clan emblem on Shisui's body, his ferocious expression instantly transformed into a smile.
After giving Liuyun and Shisui a fawning nod, he disappeared from their sight.
"That person! I know him. I met him once. He was very kind to me and even gave me something to eat!"
Shisui pointed at a bald man in disbelief and began to speak.
"Should we go inside and take a look?" Just as Liuyun finished speaking, a blood-covered boy staggered out.
Upon seeing Liuyun and the other person, their eyes filled with tension and fear, they asked, "Can! Can you let me through?"
Liuyun and Shisui quickly made way for them.
"Thank you!" the boy said, then hurriedly left, still clutching something in his arms.
What is he holding in his arms?
Shisui asked.
"Food!"
"Food?" Shisui's tone was full of confusion.
"Of course, you live in a family and naturally lack nothing, but do you know how those orphans grow up?"
Before Shisui could speak, Liuyun continued, "They relied entirely on this method, or catching fish by the river, to survive until they reached adulthood!"
"The meager compensation from those close to Konoha can only guarantee your survival!"
When Liuyun mentioned this, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
Next, Liuyun led Shisui through various dark corners of Konoha.
What I saw had a great impact on my understanding of Shisui!
It wasn't until dusk that the two reappeared in the woods.
At this moment, Shisui's face was filled with disbelief.
Liuyun felt a pang of pity. "I'm showing you this so you'll understand that kindness is good, but you need to know who you're being kind to!"
"The village and the family—only the family is your sole support, and only the family (ajbc) will never betray you!! Understand?"
"Don't be foolish enough to trust those in power in Konoha; you won't even know how you die!"
"But Lord Hokage..." Shisui wanted to argue.
"Hokage, huh? If we're talking about the best at disguising oneself in Konoha, it has to be him. Just like what I showed you today, sometimes what you see is only the surface!"
"Think it over carefully!" Liuyun said, leaving Shisui behind, and disappeared from the spot.
That's all he can do. If Shisui remains as foolish and naive as in the original story, then he can't blame himself.
Before we knew it, a week had quietly passed.
For the past week, Liuyun has been living a life of bliss.
Mikoto, Kushina, Konan, and the other girls wandered back and forth.
Liuyun also benefited greatly from the advantages of Hong and Yugao.
Especially Hong, Liuyun has basically taken advantage of the little girl!
Seven days later, Liuyun once again went into seclusion.
Time has passed, and it's now the 47th year of Konoha!
That year, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally exhausted all the resources left by the First Hokage and Second Hokage.
They dispatched their own clans and earnestly requested the Senju and Uchiha Fugaku to participate in the battle.
The Uchiha Clan is inherently a warlike clan, and they had long been itching for a fight.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's earnest request, Uchiha Fugaku led the elite of the Uchiha Clan to the Kirigakure battlefield to aid the Hyuga Clan.
Seeing this, Senju Nawaki could not resist Hiruzen Sarutobi's performance and, after much pleading and cajoling, agreed to let the Senju Clan come out of the mountains.
But this was a one-time occurrence, and the location was the defense of Iwagakure).
The Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan have joined the fight on the border.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally breathed a sigh of relief; the Land of Earth and the Land of Water knew about the relationship between the two clans and Liuyun.
They became hesitant to act rashly, and basically remained in a state of minor skirmishes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but problems arose from the Land of Lightning.
The Fourth Raikage personally took action, forming the A-B Combo with Killer B, and swept across the borders of the Land of Lightning.
The Konoha army, which was resisting the Land of Lightning, was routed and suffered repeated defeats.
Left with no other choice, Hiruzen Sarutobi transferred Jiraiya, who was stationed in the Land of Earth, to the Land of Lightning to defend against the Raikage 'Land of Lightning frenzied attacks.
Konoha's forces were stretched thin after three years of fighting, Hiruzen Sarutobi no choice but to send newly graduated Genin into battle.
Third Shinobi World War had reached an extremely brutal state.
Chapter 183 The Death of Kannabi Bridge Obito! (3rd update!)
Just then, a voice rang out in Konoha, instantly spreading throughout the entire Konoha.
"Where is Lord Liuyun? Why hasn't he made a move?"
"That's right, the village is almost deserted. I hope Lord Liuyun is still in seclusion!"
"Could Uchiha Liuyun be afraid, or is his seclusion just a facade? Could he really be dead as the rumors say...?"
For a time, everyone in Konoha was discussing Liuyun's problem, their words filled with dissatisfaction.
Some people knew Mikoto's route to the grocery store and blocked her way, questioning her in a very rude tone.
This put Mikoto and the other girls in a bad mood, and even Liuyun's reputation in Konoha began to decline.
"How could they do this? Whether Liuyun makes a move or not is none of their business!"
Kushina gritted her teeth in anger, her chest heaving, wishing she could just attack!
Konan, Hong, Yugao Xi Yan all looked extremely unpleasant.
"Can't you see? Hiruzen Sarutobi is trying to force Liuyun out!" Mikoto's eyes shone with wisdom.
"You mean... it's that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi causing trouble again?" Kushina's face darkened, her long, blood-red hair moving without wind.
A surge of violent Chakra suddenly erupted from her body.
