Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

Since the death of Uchiha Kagami, the only Uchiha clan member who had been able to enter the upper echelons of Konoha after the Second Shinobi World War, the Uchiha clan's position in Konoha had become increasingly isolated.

This isolation stemmed partly from Konoha's suppression of the Uchiha clan.

On the other hand, it also originated from the Uchiha clan's pride as the leading clan in the shinobi world after the decline of the Senju clan.

Because of this pride, most members of the Uchiha clan prioritized the interests of their clan above those of the village.

This led to a severe consequence: the Uchiha clan did not readily obey the village's orders.

This was intolerable to the higher-ups of any village.

Take this Shinobi World War as an example. The war had been going on for months, but Uchiha clan ninjas were rarely seen on the battlefield. There were even rumors that the Uchiha clan was waiting for the village to be defeated on the battlefield so they could launch a coup while the village was weak.

This rumor instantly dissipated the little support the Uchiha clan had gained in the village due to Elder Danzo's unauthorized research on the Sharingan. Instead, as the rumors intensified, the Uchiha clan, clearly the victims, became the perpetrators in the village and were subjected to even stricter surveillance.

This caused the Uchiha clan's dissatisfaction with the village to reach its peak, making it even less likely for them to participate in the war.

But at this moment, an event occurred that changed the Uchiha clan.

Namikaze Minato paid a visit to the Uchiha clan's leader, Uchiha Fugaku.

No one knows what they discussed.

However, after that meeting, Uchiha Fugaku, despite the dissatisfaction of many in the clan, issued the order for the Uchiha clan to join the war.

Although the Uchiha clan, as the leading clan in the shinobi world, had complex internal factions and not everyone obeyed their leader's orders, as the clan head, he still had many clan members following him, and they included many powerful ninjas.

Thus, the participation of the leading clan in the shinobi world instantly relieved the immense pressure on Konoha on the battlefield...

------------------------------------------------------------------

The Land of Rivers.

Located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

Just like its name, many rivers exist on the country's land.

Some of them still flow with river water, but some have dried up.

These dried-up riverbeds have become natural hiding places.

Since the Hidden Sand Village declared war on Konoha, both Hidden Sand Village ninjas and Konoha ninjas have been using the concealment of these riverbeds to deploy troops and transport supplies.

At this time, seven days had passed since the Hidden Sand Village officially declared war on Konoha.

In these seven days, countless conflicts had erupted between the Hidden Sand Village and Konoha on the Land of Rivers, but discerning people could see that the Hidden Sand Village did not seem to intend to truly go to war with Konoha.

However, even so, it still tied up a portion of Konoha's main force in the Land of Rivers, which gave the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village the opportunity to see victory and begin a large-scale invasion of the Land of Fire.

Unlike the Hidden Sand Village, which was still fighting Konoha in the Land of Rivers.

In just seven days, the war-loving Hidden Cloud Village had already reached the heart of the Land of Fire, and the Hidden Rock Village, taking advantage of the chaos, had also seized the opportunity to attack and occupy one-third of the Land of Fire's territory.

The entire situation in the Land of Fire was precarious.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Land of Rivers, inside a dried-up riverbed.

A team from Konoha, transporting supplies, was slowly moving forward.

"Hurry, we must reach the camp by night!"

The ninja shouting the order was from the Aburame clan, named Aburame Fu, a Jonin, wearing the Aburame clan's signature robe and sunglasses. He was the captain in charge of escorting the logistics supplies this time.

"Yes!"

The team's speed increased a little, but not by much.

Most of those transporting logistics supplies were ordinary people; they didn't have the ability to fly into the sky or burrow into the ground like ninjas.

Seeing that urging them was not very effective, Aburame Fu also came to the very center of the team.

Here, three ninjas wearing the Uchiha clan's attire were following.

Unlike most Uchiha clan ninjas in the village, who were arrogant and aloof, the eyes of these three Uchiha clan members were relatively gentle. Plus, with Minato's instructions, Aburame Fu tried to be as gentle as possible, asking the youngest-looking child in the middle of the three.

"Shisui, how is the feeling of the battlefield? Can you hold on?"

As he spoke, Aburame Fu felt somewhat emotional. He was clearly just an eight-year-old child. If he were in the ninja academy, he would probably just be starting school, but he already possessed the strength of a Genin.

As expected of the Uchiha clan's genius boy.

However, sending such a child to the battlefield was indeed somewhat cruel, but Konoha had no other choice now.

The pressure from the three fronts was overwhelming Konoha.

Unlike Aburame Fu's inner musings, Uchiha Shisui, who was leaving the village for the first time, revealed a hint of excitement on his young face, saying gently.

"Don't worry, Senior Fu, I'm fine. I also want to do my part for the village."

"Hahaha, doing your part is secondary. The most important thing for you now is to protect yourself."

After saying that, he nodded to the two Chunin from the Uchiha clan beside him.

"Thank you both."

The two Uchiha clan members nodded with complex expressions.

Just like that, the team continued forward. Uchiha Shisui observed the towering riverbanks on both sides, asking curiously.

"Senior Fu, why are we taking this route? If enemies attack us from both sides of the riverbank, it seems like we'll be trapped here and become very passive?"

Aburame Fu said with a look of admiration.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan's genius boy, it's good that you can see these things. But we have no choice."

"No choice?"

Shisui was stunned.

"Yes, the terrain of the Land of Rivers is very complex. Besides rivers, there are only high mountains. There are very few plains. Compared to the flat riverbeds, those roads are even harder to travel, especially with us transporting so many supplies. Carts and oxcarts simply can't pull them. However, there's no need to worry too much. The riverbeds in the Land of Rivers are as dense as a spider web, making it not easy for the Hidden Sand Village people to find us."

Only then did Shisui nod in understanding.

But at this moment, Aburame Fu suddenly turned around, looking towards the front, muttering.

"It can't be that unlucky, right. Everyone, stop and be on guard!"

Now, everyone in the entire team knew that the Hidden Sand Village's attack was coming.

Uchiha Shisui also became somewhat nervous.

This was the first time he was facing ninjas from an enemy country.

Just then, suddenly, to everyone's surprise, countless explosions came from both sides of the riverbed.

"Crap, it's explosive tags!"

Someone roared in alarm, followed by the collapse of the riverbanks on both sides, with countless rocks and dirt falling from the sky.

The ninjas naturally weren't afraid of such attacks, dodging them almost instantly, but the ordinary people were miserable, almost instantly being hit and buried by the collapsing rocks, losing their lives.

Uchiha Shisui, jumping into the air, looked at the scenes below filled with death and wailing, for the first time feeling what the cruelty of war was...
