There is still no clear information regarding the specific battle situation.
The Anbu Ninja, wearing a mask and with his head bowed, reported the intelligence he had just received to Hiruzen Sarutobi in a deep voice.
"However, what is certain is that although Kumogakure suffered extensive damage, the casualties were not severe, and Lord Uya has already fought the Third Raikage to a point far from Kumogakure, so it will not affect the Kumogakure."
Upon hearing those few words, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo frowned.
Danzo, in particular, couldn't help but speak in a deep voice, saying, " The Third Raikage is the most difficult guy to deal with. Since the sneak attack failed, it means we can't kill him. In that case, we should try our best to create chaos and destruction in Kumogakure."
" The Third Raikage actually managed to bring the battlefield outside of Kumogakure. It seems his operation has completely failed, and it's uncertain whether he can escape unscathed."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts raced, and Danzo's words caused him to Danzo and his expression to darken.
The specific results are still unknown, and it's not appropriate to make any judgments.
However, it seems that Danzo's statement is true; Uya must have been suppressed by the Third Raikage, otherwise it would have been impossible for the battlefield to be taken outside Kumogakure.
" The Third Raikage's claim of single-handedly suppressing the Eight-Tails among the Tailed Beast was not an exaggeration. He certainly possessed the power to suppress Uya."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze became somewhat somber.
Danzo shook his head in disappointment, realizing that nothing had gone according to his plan, and turned to leave.
One day later.
The latest intelligence has reached Konoha.
If the previous information about Uya's fight against the Third Raikage only disappointed Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and others, then this new information shook the entire Konoha High Command to its core.
Inside the Hokage's office, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were somewhat out of sorts.
"The battle between Uya and the Third Raikage destroyed a mountain range, burying everything, and it seems they perished together?!"
Both Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were shocked by this news.
"He actually possesses the strength to kill the Third Raikage..."
Danzo was stunned. He had thought that Uya would hardly achieve anything this time, and might even be in danger of losing himself. But the result was so shocking!
Even Danzo couldn't help but marvel at Uya's power.
While marveling at it, he also showed a hint of regret. Such a useful tool, yet he couldn't control it, and in the end, he only managed to kill the Third Raikage of Kumogakure.
However, it can be considered a perfect ending.
"This information..." Hiruzen Sarutobi in surprise, then pondered for a moment before analyzing, " The Third Raikage hasn't reappeared, so he's definitely dead. But as for Uya... since we haven't found his body, he might not necessarily be dead."
The intelligence ninja who was kneeling on one knee took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
" Lord Hokage, that mountain range stretched for an unknown distance before completely collapsing and burying everything. Even the Cloud Ninja couldn't find the Third Raikage's remains. No one could have survived in that situation."
"But Uya is no ordinary ninja..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't quite believe the result, while Danzo, listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, also felt that Uya might still be alive.
The news of Uya's mutual destruction with the Third Raikage spread like wildfire throughout the Shinobi World Shinobi World, once again causing a stir.
Even with the Kumogakure's desperate attempts to cover it up, they couldn't conceal such information, because the scale of that war was simply too enormous!
An entire mountain range has completely collapsed!
In the Shinobi World, countless ninjas were terrified by the name Uya.
To kill two Kage in a row by one person—what an incredible feat! It's dazzling beyond compare; even Hanzo of the Salamander can't match Uya!
In fact, if Uya hadn't disappeared without a trace and was suspected of being dead, perishing together with the Third Raikage, the title of Demigod of the Ninja World might have been taken from Hanzo of the Salamander and placed on Uya's head!
The Shinobi World is in constant turmoil.
Despite the Kumogakure's desperate attempts to cover up and suppress the news, the death of the Third Raikage was an established fact.
Even though the major ninja villages could no longer obtain any new information from the complete blockade imposed by Kumogakure, they were certain that the Third Raikage was dead.
Because of the death of the Third Raikage, Iwagakure, which had been on the defensive, launched a fierce counterattack, while Kumogakure quickly withdrew from Iwagakure's territory. Because of their fear of Konoha, the two villages did not engage in any decisive battle and kept the scope of the war under control.
Meanwhile, Konoha remained inactive, slowly expanding its borders and putting immense pressure on the major ninja villages. No one knew when Konoha would strike.
As time went by, Tenten.
Half a month... one month... two months...
For three months, there was no news of Uya. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi could only lament for Uya and announce that Uya had died in battle.
Even if the Kumogakure tries to block the news, as long as Uya is alive, no one can stop him. In three months, he should have already returned to the village.
But Uya did not return.
With a sense of regret, Hiruzen Sarutobi convened a meeting of Konoha 'Jonin, who unanimously agreed to erect a separate monument for Uya.
The monument is something every Konoha Ninja must pay homage to. The Uchiha Clan had considered stopping them, but at this point, doing so would obviously provoke public anger, so they ultimately had no choice but to agree.
Apart from the Uchiha Clan, almost all the other major clans also agreed and unanimously passed the resolution.
Tsunade was absent from this meeting.
Danzo made no comment on the outcome of the meeting and tacitly approved the construction of Uya's monument.
Although Uya was born in an outside village, he grew up in Konoha and ultimately died for Konoha, perishing together with the Third Raikage.
When Konoha ninja dies, his or her name is usually engraved on a tombstone.
But Uya was different from the other dead ninjas. Uya's achievements were too dazzling, even enough to surpass those of the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Therefore, Uya's memorial should be erected separately.
However, some trouble arose on the day the monument was erected. Kushina refused to believe it and smashed the monument to pieces, but Tsunade in the end.
"I absolutely do not believe such a thing!"
Kushina gritted her teeth, ignored everyone present, and turned to leave.
In her view, Uya's trip to Kumogakure to deal with the Third Raikage was solely to avenge her, and she absolutely refused to believe that Uya was dead.
After all, without Uya's body or evidence of Uya death, although the entire Shinobi World believed that Uya and the Third Raikage had perished together, Kushina believed... that Uya was definitely still alive! (To be continued.)
