Chapter 113 Uchiha Shisui, His Disrupted Plans
"What on earth happened?" Yuan Tuoye had just finished treating a seriously injured person, and the blood on his hands was still wet when he was stunned by the scene that was rushing in frantically.
His brow furrowed, and he asked the logistics team member who was hurriedly carrying in a ninja with a severed leg, "Why are there so many wounded all of a sudden?! Has the situation changed?"
The team member's face turned deathly pale. Without even stopping, he hastily uttered, "Reporting to you, sir! It's—it's Kumogakure! The Fourth Raikage has personally led their elite forces to attack! The front lines—the front lines can't hold out!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the smoke and dust outside the door, rushing off to transport the next dying companion.
"The Fourth Raikage—A—" This name struck Gen Takuya's heart like a heavy hammer.
His pupils contracted sharply, his sharp gaze piercing through the chaos of the medical room.
Although he expected the Raikage, known for his speed and ferocity, to come as reinforcements, the speed at which the Raikage entered the battlefield far exceeded his expectations!
The strong smell of disinfectant and blood was almost suffocating.
Looking at the ever-piling wounded bodies before him and listening to the constant groans around him, he even felt a ridiculous sense of regret. Choosing the path of becoming a battlefield medical ninja now felt like a heavy shackle.
"If this continues—" Yuan Tuoye's eyes turned unusually cold.
He quickly calculated in his mind, "Does this mean we really have to wait until things are completely over in Iwagakure, and until Minato Namikaze can come to the rescue here, before this busy work will finally be over?"
This means his plans will be completely wasted in this quagmire! Precious time cannot be wasted here!
With his long, slender fingers stained with blood and the faint glow of chakra, Yuan Tuoye methodically treated the torn wounds of the injured soldier before him.
However, his inner world was far from being as calm as it appeared.
The rise and fall of Konoha was originally just an insignificant part of the chessboard for him.
Even if this massive ninja village were completely destroyed, he might not even blink an eye.
But now, the sudden participation of Iwagakure in the war has firmly imprisoned him on this battlefield, wasting his time.
"Overtime"? What an ironic word.
What he finds most intolerable is the needless waste of his precious time.
Every second of delay meant that his pursuit of his goals was forcibly slowed down, which far outweighed any slight regret he felt for Konoha's defeat.
Sensing the faint pulse of the injured person beneath his fingertips, Yuan Tuoye sighed silently in his heart.
The world is unpredictable and indeed difficult to fully foresee.
The Iwagakure Society's opportunistic attack on the Land of Fire's border was part of his plan.
But despite all his calculations, he never expected that the other party would time it precisely at this crucial moment!
If Iwagakure had acted any later, Minato Namikaze, the "Yellow Flash," would surely have already rushed to the front lines of Kumogakure.
As long as Minato Namikaze joins the battle in Kumogakure, even if the Fourth Raikage personally provides support, the advantages he brings will be completely crushed by Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique!
Once the balance is broken, the pressure on Konoha from the direction of Kumogakure will be greatly reduced, and he will be able to handle his own affairs in peace.
But at that moment, the scorpion-like stinger of the Hidden Stone Cave struck down fiercely, instantly shifting the strategic focus.
Minato Namikaze, Konoha's strongest and most mobile war core, was dragged into the Iwagakure battlefield.
This war is likely to degenerate into a frustrating and protracted tug-of-war.
This fact gave him a bit of a headache. Sure enough, not everything can go according to plan, and everyone in this world is a variable!
Looking around at this makeshift medical facility filled with cries of agony, an invisible sense of constraint grew heavier.
As "Yuan Tuoye," he was almost powerless in the face of such a massive war crisis.
In Konoha's perception, he was merely a top-tier support ninja skilled in sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu.
Could even top-tier abilities alone reverse the tide of the entire battle? Unless—
Go directly to seal the tailed beasts of Kumogakure?
The thought arose, but he immediately suppressed it.
Sealing a tailed beast? Easier said than done! It would require first completely subduing a tailed beast the size of a mountain.
Just like during the Nine-Tails' rampage, Kushina Uzumaki sacrificed her life force to barely suppress the rampaging Nine-Tails and complete the seal using the Uzumaki clan's secret Adamantine Sealing Technique.
If he were to use his full strength, it would be no problem at all; he might even be able to seal the Eight-Tails.
However, the power that can truly shake the tailed beasts must not come from the hands of "Takuno Minamoto".
That would be tantamount to revealing one's identity, making everything that followed complicated.
His thoughts were racing, but his hands remained perfectly steady and precise in their treatment movements.
Since the identity of "Yuan Tuoye" is already beyond our reach, it seems that the answer can only point to the more secretive identity: "The Collector"!
Bringing the "collector" into the public eye? That's definitely not what he wanted.
Even though this identity has already been exposed within the upper echelons of Yunyin.
But this is not a problem for now, because the Cloud Village, who hate him to the bone, will never reveal the real reason for his defeat, as that would be an indelible shame for them.
However, if one intervenes and influences this massive war sweeping across the two countries as a "collector," the nature of the conflict will be entirely different!
By then, the title of "Collector" will no longer be just a vague threat circulating among certain high-ranking officials; it will be clearly etched into the center of the entire ninja world's vision!
Along with the exposure will come unprecedented attention and threats.
As his thoughts continued to wander, another option came to mind.
That means completely breaking away from Konoha right now and establishing our own independent entity.
This is undoubtedly the quickest way to break free from all shackles and achieve ultimate freedom.
From then on, he would be free from all constraints, no longer needing to be accountable to anyone, and only needing to act according to his own will.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned.
If I really go down this path, then all the efforts I've poured my heart and soul into so far, and the status and influence I've climbed step by step from being nobody to where I am today, will all lose their meaning.
He is now the leader of the sealing technique research team; he also holds the high position of deputy captain of the Anbu, making him the true power holder of the intelligence system under the Hokage.
Based on deduction, it is clear that he will take over as the captain of the secret service and become one of the most core members of the village in the future.
Admittedly, this identity would be meaningless if it were someone from a village like the Snow Village.
But Konoha Village is completely different! It is the number one ninja village standing at the pinnacle of the entire ninja world.
Its pervasive intelligence system, along with its immense power and resources, are invaluable assets in helping Yuan Tuoye pursue certain goals.
This position can still provide him with great help when he is still developing, so how can we give it up easily?
Even if there is a day when we have to give up, it will definitely not be now!
At that moment, the scales in Yuan Tuoye's heart tipped instantly.
Compared to being forced to stay here and letting time slip away, what does the exposure of one's identity matter?
It's just a disguise.
If the "collector" label really causes a huge uproar, then — let's change our face again!
"Ha—it seems that remaining a bystander is futile." The whisper was deep and sharp. "It's time to act—to break this damned stalemate!"
The moment a decision is made, action begins.
Yuan Tuoye found an opportunity to create a shadow clone that silently blended into the shadows in the corner and rushed to the battlefield amidst the chaos.
He needed to see for himself what kind of battle was unfolding there before he could decide how the "collector" would intervene in this chaotic vortex.
Yuan Tuoye stood in the shadows of the mountaintop, a cold mask covering his face, only his eyes gleaming with an unusual light in the sunlight.
At this moment, those eyes had quietly transformed into blood-red two-tomoe Sharingan, taking in the entire battlefield from their elevated position.
The mountain wind howled past him, carrying with it a strong smell of blood and gunpowder.
As his gaze swept across the fierce battle, the three most crucial engagements were clearly visible.
The first focus was on the seemingly less intense battlefield of the two tails.
Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, is leading several elite Uchiha Jonin in a joint battle against Nii Yugito, who has fully transformed into a tailed beast.
However, Gen Takuno's gaze was quickly drawn to another figure.
That was actually an Uchiha genius who had not yet completely shed the features of a naive young man!
Despite his young age, he had already risen to the ranks of elite Jonin. His lightning-fast Body Flicker Technique was used to perfection. He not only held his own against the ferocious Two-Tails' attack but also remained calm and composed. His prowess almost overshadowed that of the clan leader, Fugaku.
"It's him—" Yuan Tuono's pupils contracted slightly, and he recognized the other party's identity almost instantly.
Such mastery of instantaneous movement is among the best in the entire ninja world.
Uchiha Shisui! A peerless genius who could be compared to, or even slightly surpass, the future "Uchiha Itachi".
Unfortunately, this person wasn't very bright and was tricked into getting sick by the Third Hokage.
However, his reputation is indeed much better than Itachi Uchiha's, because he was just stupid, not evil, and the audience can be a little more tolerant of stupid people.
Gen Takuno stared at Uchiha Shisui for a while. At present, Uchiha Shisui did not seem to have awakened the terrifying Mangekyou Sharingan power.
Judging from this boy's personality, if he had activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, he probably would have already spared no expense to activate that forbidden eye technique, just to carve out a path to survival for the precarious Leaf Village.
As the gaze shifts, the situation on the other side of the battlefield is completely different.
The Fourth Raikage, A, with his speed second only to "Yellow Flash" Minato Namikaze, led a group of elite Jonin from Kumogakure to keep Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, firmly tied down in the heart of the battle.
Lightning crackled around Ai Jianshuo's body, each step he took causing the earth to tremble, and his ferocious fists, carrying wind and thunder, relentlessly slammed into Jiraiya.
The white-haired immortal clearly understood the predicament before him and tried desperately to hold back more Cloud Hidden experts with his own strength.
The deafening roar of exploding flames and the thunderous howl of lightning shook the heavens.
Gen Takuno noticed that, even now, Jiraiya still hadn't used his most powerful trump card, Sage Mode.
The long preparation time required to activate Immortal Mode is undoubtedly a luxury in the ever-changing, high-intensity battlefield.
Furthermore, Jiraiya's Sage Mode also has problems.
Even with some advance preparations and the summoning of Fukasaku and Shima, the two toad sages, to help absorb natural energy, Jiraiya's own chakra reserves were insufficient to sustain him throughout the entire battlefield.
Gen Takuno pondered, perhaps Jiraiya had his own reasons for not using Sage Mode.
Finally, Gen Takuno's gaze settled on the area where the commotion was most earth-shattering.
That was Killer Bee's main battlefield.
The fully evolved Eight-Tails' enormous body is like a moving mountain, its giant tail capable of shattering rocks and destroying mountains with a single swing.
However, what is truly astonishing is that even with the elite "Ino-Shika-Cho" trio of Konoha, there are still Akimichi Choza, whose size is equally enormous in his butterfly form, Nara Shikaku, who is strategizing and planning, and Yamanaka Inoichi, who has a central connection to the soul.
Despite leading a large number of Konoha Jonin in a full-scale attack, Killer Bee, relying solely on his own strength, still maintained absolute control of the initiative!
With the power unleashed by his family's secret medicine, Akimichi Choza transformed into a colossal giant, using his flesh and blood to withstand every heavy attack from the Eight-Tails. Each clash erupted with a dull, drum-like roar. Despite being covered in wounds from the recoil, Choza gritted his teeth and refused to back down.
Choosing this most difficult battlefield was not an impulsive decision, but a last resort.
Faced with the Fourth Raikage's terrifying speed, which was almost unbeatable, even with Nara Shikaku's Shadow Technique combined with Yamanaka Kōichi's Mind Transfer, there was hardly any opening for him to make a move.
Therefore, despite knowing the difficulties, Ding Zuo still resolutely chose the strongest enemy.
Behind the battle lines, Nara Shikaku, sweat beading on his forehead, was using Yamanaka Inoichi's exquisite mind-to-body technique to continuously transmit calm and precise instructions to each of the fighting Jonin.
His mind, like a finely tuned war machine, struggled to maintain this fragile defense.
Yuan Tuoye clearly saw that this situation was merely a struggle to hold on, and collapse was imminent.
Konoha's last hope rests on whether the other two battlefields can bring a glimmer of victory before the "Ino-Shika-Cho" trio is defeated.
"Ha, how tragic." Gen Takuno's whisper dissipated in the howling mountain wind.
Shift your gaze from the core battlefield to the wider area of fighting.
Because almost all of Konoha's top Jonin were tied up in the three high-intensity battles, the numerical disadvantage of Konoha's elite ninjas on the ordinary front was exposed.
With the combined superior numbers and localized combat strength of the Cloud Village's elite ninjas, the casualties among the Konoha ninjas are rising at an alarming rate.
Beneath the mask, Gen Takuno's gaze remained as cold as an abyss.
To make a move? Now is definitely not the time.
If he were to suddenly appear, what stance would he take in intervening? Would he help Konoha? Or would he aid Kumogakure? Or would he become a third party, incurring the destructive hostility of both sides? It would be wise for him to remain hidden in the shadows and wait for the right moment to intervene.
Konoha's resources have not yet been exhausted, and they can still persevere.
However, the outcome was already predetermined. After this bloody massacre, Konoha's lines would inevitably have to retreat.
Yuan Tuoye pondered, looking down at the battlefield.
Sure enough, in a world where individual power is paramount, the ultimate determinant of victory is always the top combat strength, and even at this stage, this trend has already begun to emerge!
