Chapter 126: The Ninja World in Turmoil
The proposal to sacrifice only Yeruashi to end the war failed to gain acceptance, or was not specifically explored at all.
The reason for this is quite simple.
Yeruashi was a hero who killed the Third Raikage, and a student of two Sannins at once, it's hard to say about Orochimaru, but Tsunade was here now and will definitely be against it, besides, who said Yeruashi will be willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for winning the war?
Not everyone was ready to be a hero to sacrifice his life for the sake of peace. If Yeruashi refused outright, anyone who had previously supported the proposal would deserve his negative attitude.
No one wanted to go against Yeruashi.
This is a powerful ninja who killed the strongest Raikage in history, not an inexperienced eleven-year-old boy!
In the course of further discussion, no new strategies were devised, Kumogakure opted to disperse their forces and not engage in a large-scale confrontation with Konoha, in the current situation, it was difficult for Konoha to do anything about it.
Yeruashi was incredibly strong, he can kill the Third Raikage and maybe even fight a thousand enemies, but he is only one person, and Kumogakure's forces did not suffer too many losses, they still had almost ten thousand ninja on their side, and the territories of the Lightning Country and Fire Country are too large.
Not to mention almost ten thousand ninja.
If it's ten thousand pigs scattered over a large area, it will take a considerable time to catch them.
It was the same in the previous two wars, none of the Five Great Ninja Villages were completely crushed and destroyed, because everyone knows very well that as soon as one side refuses to face a head-on collision and decides to disperse their forces, they would inevitably be trapped in the quagmire of war, like a bottomless pit, constantly investing resources to consume and gain nothing.
...
A few days later, the news that Yeruashi had killed the Third Raikage finally spread throughout the ninja world.
If before, by killing Chiyo, Yeruashi only made noise and became famous in the ninja world, now, he struck terror into the hearts of many ninjas around the world!
This is the Third Raikage of Kumogakure!
Of course, Chiyo is recognized and widely known throughout the ninja world, but the status of ninjas who hold the title of Kage is on a completely different level, there are only five people in the entire ninja world who hold this title!
In the eyes of the whole world, these five people are the strongest ninja who are at the top!
And now.
The Third Raikage was killed by the Silver Flash of Konoha!
Whether it was the Third Tsuchikage noki or the Third Mizukage, everyone felt a strong shock.
noki was one of the first to notice Yeruashi, but he never thought that child would grow so big in such a short time!
He already surpassed the White Fang of Konoha!
noki couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure seeing the appearance of such a powerful ninja on Konoha's side, fortunately, Kumogakure didn't give up on continuing the war because of the Third Raikage's death, otherwise it would have been the end.
In the end.
Almost all the major villages, including Iwagakure and Sunagakure, simultaneously issued an almost identical order.
No matter what mission you are on, in the event of a collision with the Konoha Silver Flash, you have every right to immediately abandon the mission and flee!
With the issuance of this order.
The name of the Konoha Silver Flash shocked the entire world and struck terror into the hearts of countless ninja!
....
Somewhere underground.
A thin, white-haired old man with a wrinkled face sits in a chair, one hand resting on his chin and his eyes fixed on the ground, as if he were thinking about something.
Attached to his back was a strange tube, the other end of which is hidden in the dark depths of the cave, connecting to a huge monster that looks incredibly scary and terrible.
That old man was...
Uchiha Madara!
The behind-the-scenes boss of the Naruto world and lover of good dancing.
He may not be the strongest in the Naruto world, and he may not dominate all the behind-the-scenes events, but according to Yeruashi, Madara certainly deserves the title of the number one dance king of the ninja world!
Something like his words "I, Madara, name you the strongest!" or "Let's dance!" were the most well-known phrases in his vocabulary.
Whoosh!
The figure of a White Zetsu slid off the ground, appearing in front of Madara.
"There's something that deserves your attention."
"That boy, Hatake Yeruashi, who I mentioned earlier, killed the Third Raikage..."
A light shone in the depths of Madara's eyes as he said, "That boy again? At the age of ten, he was able to kill one of the Five Kage?"
"No, he looks like he's eleven now."
The White Zetsu shook his head.
Madara thought for a few seconds and said, "What specifically did you find out?"
Killing one of the Five Kages at such a young age without being a Jinchuriki, even to Madara seemed unbelievable and raised questions, he and Hashirama certainly weren't that strong at that age.
"Concrete conclusions... it seems that this boy has the ability to accelerate body growth, he doesn't look anything like an eleven year old, he looks like a fourteen or fifteen year old."
"Although not very good at perception, I did not dare to get too close. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that he has the ability to influence the flow of his time."
Hearing this, Madara narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Change the speed of the flow of time? Hmm, this is an extremely rare ability."
The White Zetsu spread his hands, "This is just my guess, there is no confirmation yet, but the probability is very high."
"Then it makes sense."
Madara said thoughtfully, "The ability to influence the speed of the flow of time can accelerate the growth of the body, but still, this kid is pretty good, if nothing unexpected happens, this era belongs to him"
White Zetsu slowly said, "Should we do something?"
"Don't bother with him."
Madara shook his head, leaned back in his chair and said casually, "Since there is such a ninja, then let this era belong to him."
In the world from time to time there are some special and very strong ninja, like, for example, shortly before the beginning of his era with Hashirama, as well as there are several historical records of the powerful ninja who dominated the ninja world, even before the Era of the Combatant States.
Yeruashi must be one of those ninja, but he does not belong to the Uchiha clan and will not be able to read the stone tablet left by the Rikud Sennin, knowing the truth of this world, after all, no matter how strong that boy is, he is still a mere mortal.
There is nothing to worry about.
It doesn't matter if Yeruashi will unite the entire ninja world.
As long as everything goes according to plan, he will resurrect and take this world into his own hands.
"What about the young man of the Uchiha clan?"
Madara stopped thinking about Yeruashi and turned to the White Zetsu.
The White Zetsu shook his head, saying, "No major changes, he's still incredibly stupid and naive.... Maybe you should choose a more suitable target?"
"No!"
Madara said confidently, "All the kindness and love for the world in his heart will turn into strength and hatred, after realizing the reality and cruelty of this world."
