That night, the Ninja troops, who had received urgent orders, had already turned and began to advance towards the Grass Country.
Yuuki also dispatched 100 Jonin to rush to the Grass Country overnight.
The night passed quickly.
The next day, shortly after dawn, the Konoha Villagers leisurely opened the new issue of Hokage News.
"The Strongest Ninja of Konoha — Uchiha Tomoki!" These large characters appeared on the newspaper.
This article detailed Yuuki's mission records, the number of enemies he defeated, and his identity, only deliberately blurring his age.
Following this, it described Yuuki's feat of 'one against ten thousand' at the Hidden Mist Camp yesterday, and how he emerged victorious.
Accompanied by various illustrations, the Konoha Villagers who read it were all filled with admiration.
"So, Lord Yuuki is so powerful, actually fighting ten thousand Ninja alone!!!"
"Are you stupid? The Hidden Mist forces only have three thousand people; where did you get ten thousand from???"
"Only you are smart. Do you think that after Lord Yuuki sent his subordinates to raid and kill over a thousand Hidden Mist Ninja the day before yesterday, Hidden Mist wouldn't send more troops??"
"Exactly, you didn't read the newspaper carefully. Didn't you see it said that Hidden Mist specifically increased its forces to completely annihilate our two hundred-plus Jonin who had no troop support?"
"That's right, the newspaper said Hidden Mist learned from the Stone Ninja during the Third Great War, using sheer numbers to overwhelm and try to eliminate Konoha's elite in one fell swoop."
"Yes, at such a critical moment, Lord Yuuki finally stopped commanding from the camp and directly used a forbidden jutsu to destroy the Hidden Mist Camp with one strike."
"He's truly too strong! Using such a forbidden jutsu, he could still control its power, destroying the camp while making the Kirigakure Ninja lose their fighting capability, but not killing them!!!"
"But I think Lord Yuuki is too merciful. He should have killed 5,000 and left 5,000. These hateful Hidden Mist Ninja, who dared to invade the Land of Fire, should pay the price!!!"
Ordinary people watched the spectacle, while the Ninja saw the true meaning.
Although it certainly wasn't as exaggerated as ten thousand Ninja, from the few limited pictures, it could be seen that the Kirigakure Ninja numbered no less than four digits.
And that forbidden jutsu that turned the entire sky red, just looking at it sent shivers down one's spine.
So, surprisingly, not a single person questioned Yuuki's title as the Strongest Ninja of Konoha.
Of course, people were not only shocked by Yuuki's strength, but also by other things.
In one photo taken from the best angle, Kirigakure Ninja were either in a daze or sitting on the ground with their heads bowed, while Yuuki was suspended in the air.
This made both ordinary people and villagers' blood boil, as they put themselves in his shoes, as if they were the ones who made Hidden Mist lose the will to resist.
Besides gaining many staunch supporters for Yuuki, it also invigorated everyone in Konoha, making them proud to be in Konoha.
It indirectly enhanced the cohesion of the entire Village.
Meanwhile, Yuuki was carefully considering the theme for the next two days.
This was three precious days exchanged for two thousand Ninja troops, so he definitely needed to cherish them.
Finally, Yuuki made a decision.
The second issue would still feature him as the protagonist, mainly showcasing the brilliant will of fire within Yuuki.
For the third issue, Yuuki planned to make Shisui the protagonist, as Shisui had a fan base.
The focus would be on emphasizing how Shisui, despite being able to live forever in the applause of the crowd, resolutely stepped onto the Battlefield during Konoha's crisis to fight for the protection of Konoha.
At the same time, it was also to change the concept of an idol. After all, Naruto and Sasuke both wanted to be idols, so Yuuki had to make them understand that even an idol must fight for Konoha!!
As for Hidden Mist now, to be honest, almost all the Kirigakure Ninja in the camp had lost their will to fight.
It's true that Ninja are not afraid of sacrifice, but clearly, simple suicidal actions are not something many normal Ninja would do.
Yuuki then thought of the news Mei Terumī secretly told him last night when she came to the Konoha Camp.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, was coming to the front lines!
Yuuki indicated that he had been squatting nearby for a while.
However, the news from Mei Terumī made Yuuki realize that Obito was getting serious!
Not far from both the Konoha Camp and the Hidden Mist Camp.
Obito and Zetsu watched the constantly surging and receding tide together.
"Obito, are you really going to let the Mizukage act personally?"
Black Zetsu's deep, hoarse voice echoed here.
"Black Zetsu, since you are Madara's will, you should follow his wishes. Now, I am Madara!"
Obito did not answer Black Zetsu's question, but instead emphasized the issue of address.
For Obito, Madara's identity was indeed very important.
The reason Nagato, Konan, and Kisame were polite to him was not because of his strange Kamui.
It was because he bore the name of Uchiha Madara.
It can also be seen from the original work that Obito's ability to start the Fourth Shinobi World War was not unrelated to Madara's name.
Otherwise, no matter how strong Obito was, and no matter how many Ninja Kabuto Reanimation-ed, the Five Great Nations would not gather all their Ninja to prepare for battle just because of a single sentence from him.
All the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations were concentrated and evacuated, and all the Ninja of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, almost without exception, were mobilized, simply because of one name, Uchiha Madara!!!
And although Black Zetsu was internally fuming, 'Who are you trying to fool in front of me?'
But as a boss, if an employee has capability and a bit of a temper, you still have to go along with it.
So Black Zetsu's hoarse voice sounded again.
"Madara! Do you really want the Mizukage to act personally?"
"That's right, Hidden Mist is almost completely Waste now, almost worthless. It's just right to use it for some residual heat!"
Even if it only consumes a little of Uchiha Tomoki's pupil power, it's good.
The Uchiha Clan is truly too dangerous. Although Uchiha Tomoki is destined not to be a great threat.
However, the existence of the Uchiha Clan is always a threat to the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Nagato's control over the Rinnegan is still far from meeting the requirements for collecting Tailed Beast.
To eliminate the Uchiha Clan, it's best to deal with him while Yuuki is not in Konoha.
At that time, the Uchiha Clan in Konoha can naturally be dealt with easily.
Thinking of this, Obito secretly thought, "Mangekyo Sharingan... such a dangerous thing, it's better if it doesn't appear again!"
Obito withdrew his gaze from the sea and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
Wait for me, Rin!!!
And if Yuuki, who was targeted by Obito, knew Obito's true thoughts, he would definitely curse the BUG left by Kishimoto.
Ever since Obito targeted him, Yuuki had been wondering why Obito always wanted to destroy the Uchiha Clan.
Yuuki had thought that Obito might be worried about new Mangekyo Sharingan appearing in the Uchiha, worried that their ocular jutsu would be too powerful, or that they would directly control Tailed Beast to interfere with the Eye of the Moon Plan.
However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Yuuki from his heart, after all, in the original work, Erzhuzi's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was personally helped by Obito.
Finally, Yuuki could only conclude that perhaps Obito was ostracized by the Uchiha Clan when he was young, and thus came to hate them.
