Chapter 241 Earth, Wind, and Thunder: The Great Names of the Three Kingdoms Are Terrified!
While Uchiha Ikezumi was still traveling between various cities in the Land of Water, news of the capital of the Land of Water inevitably spread throughout the entire ninja world.
"This time, Izumi actually used Wood Release—"
In the Hokage Building of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the intelligence report delivered by the Anbu ninja in his hand, his eyes revealing undisguised weariness.
"Orochimaru is confirmed to have died at the hands of Uchiha Izumi."
"Hiruzen, that Uchiha Ikezumi guy might have gotten the Wood Release power from Orochimaru!"
Koharu, watching Hiruzen Sarutobi constantly smoking in the Hokage's seat, couldn't help but remind him.
Since obtaining the power of Wood Release, Uchiha Ikezumi has never concealed it much. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Koharu Utatane suspected from the beginning that Uchiha Ikezumi obtained Wood Release from Orochimaru.
"No, Izumi already possessed Wood Release before he came into contact with Orochimaru."
"For Chi Quan, it is possible for him to combine the properties of water and earth to create Wood Release."
"I just didn't expect Izumi's Wood Release to improve so quickly!"
"Using Wood Release, I killed all the nobles and even the daimyo in the entire capital of the Land of Water —"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was already used to the abnormalities in Izumi Uchiha. He was now thinking about the same thing as Genji: the Fourth Shinobi World War might really be about to break out!
If the Fourth Shinobi World War was about killing Uchiha Izumi, could Konoha really stay out of it?
"Chi Quan did it a little too hastily—"
"If things had slowed down a bit, things might not be so tense!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly. Absolute justice, of course, is good. Hiruzen Sarutobi could also see the changes in Konoha. Whether it was the merchants or the ninja clans, everyone had to restrain themselves under the rule of absolute justice.
However, there are too many people who cannot tolerate absolute justice. The nobles and daimyo of the five great nations, and even the daimyo and nobles of the smaller nations, would not tolerate someone harming them in the name of absolute justice.
"Should I send all the Root ninjas away?"
When Koharu Utatane came to find Hiruzen Sarutobi, it certainly wasn't just to discuss Izumi Uchiha's Wood Release. Wood Release is very important; in fact, in Konoha, it's almost considered the orthodox style.
However, Wood Release didn't seem that important in the face of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
As for dispersing the Root ninjas, Koharu Utatane had her own ulterior motives. She should be in prison now, and the Root ninjas she took over should also be in prison. It was only because of Izumi Uchiha's departure, and Tsunade's attention being focused on the Hokage election, that Koharu Utatane had the opportunity to leave prison.
"Disperse the Root ninjas!"
"Pay special attention to the borders of the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Wind."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. His Anbu was now out of control, and Koharu Utatane's Root had been sealed with a cursed seal. At this point, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who could control the power.
"The Ninja World War—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed softly. He suddenly felt that a ninja world war might not necessarily be a bad thing. At least it would make Izumi Uchiha and Tsunade realize the flaws of absolute justice.
If Uchiha Izumi's absolute justice wasn't so extreme, handing Konoha over to Tsunade might not have been a bad thing.
"Perhaps, this Ninja World War will be the end for me—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were somewhat profound. As long as Izumi Uchiha could not be so extreme, and as long as Tsunade realized that absolute justice needed to be limited, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still willing to die.
He was exhausted. The deaths of two of his sons, the death of his disciple Orochimaru, and even his daughter-in-law's connection with the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning had caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's energy to wane day by day.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi really didn't dare to let go, even though he was accused of being power-hungry.
He was genuinely afraid that extreme, absolute justice would drag the entire Hidden Leaf Village into utter ruin. He felt that with him around, at least Uchiha Izumi's absolute justice could be somewhat restrained.
The land of rain.
"The Ninja World War is about to break out!"
"Uchiha Izumi is a complete madman; he doesn't consider any consequences at all."
Xiao Nan frowned as she looked at the intelligence report in her hand.
Konan truly loathed war. It was because of the Second Shinobi World War that she, Nagato, and Yahiko became orphans. If it weren't for Jiraiya, they might have died somewhere long ago.
"But for us, the Ninja World War is a good opportunity."
"Those Jinchuriki who were originally well protected will gradually appear on the battlefield."
Nagato remained silent for a moment, then looked at Konan and gently comforted her.
In the same Land of Rain, Obito Uchiha was staring at White Zetsu while Black Zetsu continued to wail. Although Obito realized that the Fourth Shinobi World War might be helpful to his plans, he didn't know how to proceed.
Normally, Black Zetsu is the one who arranges these things, but now that Black Zetsu is basically useless, Obito doesn't know what to do.
"How about we join forces with the Akatsuki?"
"Besides, the Fourth Shinobi World War hasn't even started yet, has it?"
"If all else fails, we can play it by ear?"
After staring at each other for a while, White Zetsu and Obito finally came up with their own ideas. Although Obito felt it was a bit hasty, he didn't seem to have any better options.
Meanwhile, in Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).
"The Daimyo's office has sent six or seven orders in succession, instructing us in Kumogakure to eliminate Uchiha Ikezumi at all costs."
The Fourth Raikage stood in his office, where Killer Bee, Samui, and other elite Jonin from Kumogakure were gathered. This was the fourth time the Fourth Raikage had summoned them here as the incident in the Land of Water escalated.
"What about the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind?"
"Are there any signs that their ninjas are being mobilized?"
Samui looked at the Fourth Raikage and was not in favor of Kumogakure being the first to start the Shinobi World War.
"The pressure on the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind isn't much better than ours. No, the pressure on the Land of Wind might be much better than ours, since the Daimyo of the Land of Wind provides the Sand Village with pitifully small amounts of funding. The Sand Village only nominally obeys the Daimyo's orders—"
make."
"But the pressure from the Land of Earth will only be greater than that from our Land of Lightning!"
The Fourth Raikage and Samui shared the same idea: if the Fourth Shinobi World War was destined to break out, Kumogakure could be the main force, but it was best not to be the one to start the war.
"The Uchiha clan ninjas of Konoha seem to be getting more and more insane—"
Killer Bee couldn't help but mutter "Uchiha Ikezumi". He had encountered Uchiha clan ninjas on the battlefield before, and although he thought they were mentally unstable, the one named Uchiha Ikezumi seemed particularly mentally unstable.
