Suigetsu Hozuki cursed Konoha in his heart.
They then quickly focused their attention on tactical arrangements.
Elite ninjas were used as the vanguard.
Pipa Juzo, wielding a broken sword to behead someone, charged towards the Sand Village ninja with wide, sweeping movements.
Kushimaru Kurihara, holding a long sword and sewing needle, swiftly swept through the crowd.
Tongcao Yeyanren wields a knife in one hand and a hammer in the other; he appears unassuming, but every strike is deadly.
Suigetsu Hobutsuki stood on high ground, overlooking the battlefield.
"Geniuses cannot grow on the barren land of Sunagakure, except for one like Yekura."
"Unlike our Hidden Mist Village, which is full of talented people."
"It's normal for a ninja village like Sunagakure to disappear, just like other ninja villages that have been phased out."
"Even without Konoha, your Sunagakure village wouldn't survive."
The expression on the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon's face softened somewhat.
But the next moment, he couldn't help but glance in the direction where the Konoha ninjas were stationed.
"Konoha..."
"I hope you really have a problem."
"If you are doing this now just to make Kirigakure pay a higher price, just to make it easier to reap more benefits when dividing up Sunagakure, I will never forgive you."
"You will definitely pay the price."
A dozen intelligence ninjas, under the orders of Suigetsu Hobuki, arrived near the Konoha ninja encampment.
They were monitoring the Konoha ninjas from a distance.
Any unusual activity will be immediately reported to Suigetsu Hobutsuki.
Kurenai Yuhi noticed the actions of the Hidden Mist ninja.
I can understand, but I'm still annoyed.
"I hope nothing bad happens to the village."
"The ninjas from Kumogakure have finally retreated, and now Iwagakure has intensified its offensive against Konoha. If something happens to the village at this time..."
"Let alone going to divide up Sunagakure, even our own safety has become a problem."
Kurenai Yuhi looked towards Konoha, a worried expression on her face.
"However, the Hokage did not order me to take people back immediately, which proves that the situation inside the village is not yet in a very bad state and is still under control."
Kurenai Yuhi also thought of the recent rumor about the Uchiha clan.
"Would the Uchiha clan really cause trouble at such a crucial time because of that baseless rumor?"
"That would be a gross disregard for the bigger picture."
...
"Prioritizing the overall situation?"
An angry Uchiha shouted at a dove Uchiha, "We don't care about the big picture? You think you're so virtuous? Don't you see how Konoha treats us?"
"If Konoha doesn't even consider us one of their own, why should we prioritize the greater good?"
"Whose overall situation?"
A large number of Uchiha were gathered together, and most of them had anger and dissatisfaction written on their faces.
All this anger and discontent was directed at Konoha, at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and at Tobirama Senju.
A Uchiha said in a calm voice.
"The rumors about Senior Jing are most likely true."
"Those Iwagakure ninjas mocked me in front of me, saying that we Uchiha clearly have such great strength, but we don't get fair treatment in Konoha, and we still shamelessly stay in Konoha."
"They asked me—does the Uchiha clan have masochistic tendencies?"
"It's true that the people of Iwagakure are our enemies, but even they can see our situation clearly and stand up for us."
"This is enough to show how inhumanely we Uchiha were treated in Konoha."
"If Tobirama Senju took Kagami-senpai as his disciple, would he truly treat him as a disciple? Of the six who went, five returned, but Kagami-senpai alone died in Kumogakure."
Another young man shared his personal experience of being betrayed.
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation.
"But we don't have any substantial evidence after all."
This sentence silenced everyone.
Just then, a young man standing at the back stood up.
"I recently obtained something, a will from a Cloud Village ninja, which contains the sentence: I personally witnessed Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi betray Kagami Uchiha."
As he spoke, he took out his suicide note.
"This suicide note is definitely not a forgery. The writing on it is from many years ago, and the handwriting and the signatory can be found in Kumogakure."
Everyone quickly crowded around.
"It's definitely not something new; it's been around for at least several decades."
"It makes no sense for a Cloud Village ninja to tell such a lie. Besides, he only mentioned it casually, and the rest of the story is about other things. It must be something he really saw at the time."
The emergence of evidence gave these Uchiha clan members confidence.
"We can't continue like this. If we don't fight back, Konoha will only treat us worse and worse."
"The rumors about Senior Kagami present us with a perfect opportunity, and we must take action."
...
...
the next day.
Early in the morning, Luo Sha opened her eyes and glanced at Ye Cang beside her.
Yekura noticed the commotion and woke up.
The two locked eyes.
Ye Cang's face instantly turned red, probably thinking of what happened last night. She quickly closed her eyes again and pretended to be asleep.
Luo Sha smiled and bent down.
Only then did I change my clothes and leave the room.
Hearing the door close, Ye Cang opened his eyes and touched his lips with his finger.
Suddenly, a slight pain shot through her lower body, and Ye Cang frowned slightly.
Memories of last night resurfaced in my mind.
A blush crept onto Ye Cang's face, and her body seemed to grow hot.
Upon arriving in the courtyard, Luo Sha looked to the other side.
This courtyard is Luo Sha's private property.
Entering through the main gate, you enter the front yard. To the left is a date palm tree, laden with fruit, and to the right is another date palm tree, also laden with fruit, emitting a faint fruity fragrance.
There are also some cacti growing randomly on the artificial hill.
A pavilion with a stone table and several stools inside.
People usually meet here.
Entering through the side of the front yard leads to the inner yard.
This is a relatively private area, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter.
The inner courtyard is very large.
There are rooms in the east, west, and north directions.
The inner courtyard is encircled by a central structure, with no gaps between them.
Of these, the north-facing side has three floors, while the other two sides each have two floors.
Previously, the rooms here were arranged haphazardly, and most of them were even neglected and cluttered with miscellaneous items. But now the situation is different; Luo Sha arranged for someone to clean them up deliberately.
Guiyecang to the east, Guijialuo to the north.
As for Luo Sha, he can go anywhere.
Arriving at the Fengying Building, I entered the office.
Rasa first opened the battlefield intelligence sent back by the intelligence ninja.
"The Hidden Mist Village's fierce attack has come as expected... But what about Konoha?"
Rasa quickly found information about Konoha.
The next moment, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Operation plan, successful!"
