Chapter 127: Shockwaves Throughout the Ninja World [55]
When even initiating a group battle is out of the question, it undoubtedly implies that there can be no resolution.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't discuss this topic, and the ninjas from the other major clans weren't fools either, especially with Tsunade present.
Not everyone aspired to be a hero who traded their life for peace. If Feng Ye refused, whoever proposed or supported this idea would undoubtedly incur his wrath.
No one wanted to stand against Feng Ye.
He was a formidable ninja who had slain the Third Raikage, not a naive eleven-year-old boy!
The subsequent discussions about the war ultimately didn't yield any more strategies. After all, the Cloud Ninja Village had chosen to disperse and avoid direct large-scale conflict with Konoha, so it was difficult for Konoha to do anything about them.
While Feng Ye's strength was indeed formidable, capable of killing the Third Raikage and possibly taking on a thousand enemies alone, he was still just one person. The Cloud Ninja's military strength had not suffered significant losses and still numbered nearly ten thousand, and both the Lightning Country and the Fire Country were vast.
Forget about nearly ten thousand ninjas.
Even ten thousand pigs, if scattered across several mountain ranges, couldn't be rounded up in just a few days.
This was also the reason why, in the two previous Great Ninja Wars, the defeated villages of the Five Great Shinobi Countries hadn't been completely crushed. Because they all understood that once their opponent abandoned frontal combat and chose to engage in localized battles, they would inevitably be drawn into a quagmire of war, like a bottomless pit, constantly draining resources with no gains.
...
After a few days of turmoil, the news of Feng Ye killing the Third Raikage finally spread throughout the ninja world.
If Feng Ye's previous slaying of Chiyo had only startled the ninja world and made him famous, this time, he truly shocked countless ninjas from the large and small ninja villages throughout the ninja world!
That was the Cloud Ninja Village's Raikage!
While Chiyo was indeed a renowned figure in the ninja world, it was still significantly different from bearing the title of Kage. In the entire ninja world, only five people carried the weight of that title!
In the eyes of countless ninjas, these five individuals were the pinnacle, the most powerful figures in the ninja world!
And now...
The Third Raikage had fallen to the Silver Flash!
Whether it was Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, or the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure, they were all shaken to their cores.
Undoubtedly, the one who knew Feng Ye the earliest was the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. Even he had never imagined that Feng Ye could grow to such a level in such a short time.
He had already surpassed Konoha's White Fang!
Onoki felt immense pressure from the rise of such a powerful ninja in Konoha. Fortunately, the Cloud Ninja Village hadn't given up on the war after the Raikage's death; otherwise, everything would have ended then and there.
Finally...
Including Iwagakure and Sunagakure, almost all the major ninja villages unanimously issued an order.
That order was that any ninja, regardless of their mission, could immediately abandon their task and flee if they encountered Konoha's Silver Flash!
With this directive in place,
The name Silver Flash struck fear into the hearts of countless ninjas, thoroughly shaking the ninja world!
...
In a dim underground location,
A frail, elderly man sat in a chair, his silver hair contrasting with the wrinkles on his face. He rested his chin on one hand and stared into the distance, deep in thought.
Behind him was a bizarre tube that pierced his body, its other end disappearing into the depths of the darkness, connected to a gigantic, eerie, and terrifying magic statue.
He was...
Uchiha Madara!
One of the masterminds behind the scenes in the ninja world, known for his quote, 'Would you like to dance with me?' and thus also called the Uchiha Dance King!
Perhaps he wasn't the strongest man in the ninja world, nor the true ultimate mastermind behind everything, but in Feng Ye's opinion, the title of the First Dance King of the Ninja World was well-deserved!
Lines like 'I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you as the strongest' were classic and embodied the pinnacle of prestige in the ninja world!
"That brat, Kakashi Hatake, who I mentioned before... He killed the Third Raikage of the Cloud Ninja Village on the battlefield the other day."
Upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha looked up, a fleeting hint of interest flashing in his eyes. "That brat again? He killed one of the Five Kage at the age of ten?"
"No, he's eleven now."
White Zetsu shrugged.
Madara was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you have any specific findings?"
The ability to kill a Kage at such a young age, and not being a jinchuriki at that, was something even he found rather inconceivable. At their age, neither he nor Hashirama Senju had reached such a level.
"Specific findings... This brat seems to possess the ability to accelerate his growth. His body doesn't resemble that of an eleven-year-old but rather someone fourteen or fifteen years old."
"Although he's not adept at sensing chakra, I didn't dare get too close to observe. From the information I've gathered, it seems he has the ability to place himself in a different time flow."
White Zetsu relayed the intelligence he had gathered over this period.
Madara narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this. "The ability to alter time flow... That's quite a rare ability."
White Zetsu shrugged. "It's just my speculation. I can't confirm it for now, but it's likely the case."
"That would explain it, then."
Madara's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. "The ability to alter time flow can accelerate growth. Even so, that brat is still an exceptional existence. It seems this era, without a doubt, will be his stage."
"Is there anything that needs to be done?" White Zetsu asked.
"Leave him be." Madara shook his head and leaned back in his chair. "Since such a figure has appeared, let this era's stage be his."
Every so often, the ninja world gives birth to special ninjas—like himself and Hashirama in the previous era, and some figures recorded in history before the Warring States period.
Kakashi Hatake was likely one such ninja. However, he wasn't of the Uchiha clan and wouldn't be able to decipher the tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths. He would never know the truth behind this world and would ultimately remain an ordinary person.
Hence, there was no need to pay him any heed.
Even if he united the ninja world, it didn't matter.
As long as he executed his plan as intended, when he resurrected in the future, he would reclaim this world.
"How's that Uchiha clan boy doing?" Madara asked after a brief pause, his thoughts turning away from Kakashi.
White Zetsu chuckled and shrugged. "He's the same as always—naive and foolish to the core. There's been no change in his stupidity... Lord Madara, wouldn't it be better to change targets?"
"No." Madara's voice was calm and resolute. "This is perfect. The greater the love for the world, the greater the hatred it becomes after enduring the pain of reversal. And all of that will transform into power."
