Chapter 525 It's all the fault of the evil Uchiha!
During the pre-war meeting held in the Star Country.
The Land of Earth, Hidden Rock Village.
This village, nestled deep in the mountains and surrounded by brown rocks, has also entered a tense phase of preparation for war.
The crushing defeat five years ago left Iwagakure with a pent-up anger and resentment from top to bottom.
Since its establishment, Iwagakure has always been one of the top three ninja villages in the ninja world. Where has it ever suffered such humiliation?
Their generation's pride as a great ninja village was crushed underfoot by a newly rising star nation, leaving many Iwagakure ninjas resentful.
Despite the crushing defeat five years ago, ten thousand Iwagakure ninja had witnessed the Uchiha clan's Susanoo.
But now the Land of Stars is provoking the entire ninja world!
The Hidden Leaf Village, the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and other small and medium-sized ninja villages were all threatened by the Land of Stars.
Even an ordinary Iwagakure ninja believed that this combined power of the entire ninja world would surely wear down those few Uchiha ninjas from the Land of Stars!
Just like in the Third Shinobi World War, they used 10,000 people and spent three days and three nights to wear down the Third Raikage!
This resentment towards the great battle five years ago, the fear of the Uchiha clan and Susanoo, and the desire for revenge formed a huge contradiction.
In a prison atop the mountain behind Iwagakure, Kurotsuchi idly watched the white clouds drift across the azure sky outside the window, his leisurely demeanor completely out of place with the tense atmosphere of Iwagakure.
Half a month after Mama's declaration to the entire ninja world, Kurotsuchi received a secret letter from her father as soon as she returned to the Land of Stars, claiming that her grandfather was critically ill. So Kurotsuchi asked her companions to help her ask for leave, and she rushed back to Iwagakure overnight.
As soon as he returned to the village, he saw his grandfather, Onoki, full of energy, scolding his subordinates.
At that moment, Heitu knew he had been deceived.
It turns out that Grandpa wasn't sick at all; everything was for her to return from the Star Kingdom.
Then her father, Huang Tu, and grandfather, Da Ye Mu, also confronted her about the truth.
Kurotsuchi learned from her two closest relatives that Iwagakure was unwilling to become a vassal state of the Land of Stars and was going to join forces with other ninja villages to attack the Land of Stars.
Having studied in the Land of Stars, or rather, served as a hostage for five years, Kurotsuchi was well aware of the Land of Stars' war potential. She knew that no matter how many old ninja villages like Iwagakure came, they would only be easy prey. She had also been to the grassroots level and knew that the Land of Stars brought real change to the common people. Therefore, she strongly opposed her grandfather's and father's decision.
The black soil's reaction greatly surprised Onoki and Huangtu.
Onoki was very disappointed with Kurotsuchi. He had thought he could get some information about the Land of Stars from her, but he didn't expect that Kurotsuchi had been brainwashed by the "Star Ideology" of the Land of Stars during her years of studying abroad. So he ordered Kurotsuchi to put his granddaughter under house arrest.
During his house arrest, Kurotsuchi tried to destroy the prison cells using Lava Release and Earth Release techniques.
However, the prison was made with the strongest materials in Iwagakure and was specifically designed to counter her bloodline limit. There were also many strange-looking brown androids guarding it outside. After trying a few times, Kurotsuchi gave up on the idea of destroying the prison.
At this moment, Kurotsuchi sat on the windowsill, lost in thought and muttering to herself, "I wonder how Kaori and Ranmaru are doing—"
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the cell. A moment later, Huang Tu appeared at the window, looking at his daughter who was under house arrest with heartache.
"If I had known, I should have strongly opposed your studying in the Land of Stars back then." Huang Tu sighed, took out his key, opened the cell, and went inside, followed by Onoki Sora carrying a plate of food.
Heitu glanced at his father, who had aged considerably, but said nothing.
She glanced at Kong, who was following behind her father, and frowned slightly.
She disliked the aura emanating from the other person; it felt like a clay figure made of mud.
Kong consciously hid the plate on the table, then stepped back, leaving the father and daughter alone.
Huang Tu pulled over a chair and sat down at the table. Looking at his stubborn daughter, he sighed deeply.
Although it's called house arrest, she is, after all, the Tsuchikage's granddaughter. The cell is better equipped than the one where Deidara was imprisoned before, with all kinds of furniture and even a dressing table specifically for girls.
"What's so great about the Star Kingdom? Why have you all turned out like this since you came back?" Huang Tu's rugged face was full of confusion, and his eyebrows were almost furrowed together.
In recent years, not only Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure has gone to study in the Land of Stars, but Onoki has also sent some disciples from various ninja clans to study there, partly to learn from the advanced experiences of the Land of Stars, and partly to gather intelligence.
But when they closed in, Onoki and Yotsuchi were surprised to find that the ninjas who had returned from the Land of Stars had all changed.
They became very fond of the Star Kingdom's Star Theory and believed that Iwagakure was a remnant of the old era.
They believe that the daimyo system in the Land of Earth is a malignant tumor that persecutes ordinary people, and even regard Shura as the savior of the ninja world!
Such remarks naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction from Onoki, who then locked up all the international students.
However, since most of them were from various ninja clans, and with a great war about to begin, Onoki also had to consider the feelings of the various ninja clans and did not force them to do anything.
Kurotsuchi looked at her father, whose brows were deeply furrowed and who also looked distressed. She smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to explain this to you, but I truly saw unprecedented hope in the Land of Stars—the hope of ending the thousand-year war in the ninja world and ushering in true peace—"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tu was even more puzzled, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
As a ninja of the old era, he received ninja training in Iwagakure from a young age and dedicated his life to the "Will of Stone".
He participated in the Third Shinobi World War and fought against ninjas from various villages, including Konoha and Kumogakure. His "Will of Stone" never wavered.
He didn't understand the reasoning his daughter was giving, and only thought that his daughter had been brainwashed by the Star Kingdom or was under some kind of illusion.
I've heard that the Sharingan genjutsu of the Uchiha clan is very powerful, and there are so many Uchiha ninjas in the Land of Stars. There's no way my daughter could be brainwashed by their genjutsu!
The Uchiha clan is inherently evil!
After cursing the Uchiha clan in his mind, Huang Tu got up and prepared to leave.
He knew his daughter's personality; she was just like him and her father—once she decided on something right, she would confidently move forward.
This is also a manifestation of the "Will of the Stone of Iwagakure".
So Huangtu didn't intend to offer any advice. After closing the cell, he simply said to Heitu, "I'm sorry, Heitu, you'll have to stay here for now until the war ends."
boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in the village.
Huang Tu turned his head in astonishment and looked down at the village below the mountain, where he saw a thick plume of black smoke rising from the center of the village.
Onoki Sora instantly landed in front of Yotsuchi, reporting blankly, "Lord Yotsuchi, Deidara is causing trouble in the village—"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before Onoki could finish speaking, several more loud noises came from all over the village.
One explosion after another occurred in the village, flames shot into the sky and thick smoke billowed, plunging the village into chaos.
Amidst the thick smoke, a few white birds could be vaguely seen flying above the village.
"Deidara!!!"
The roar of the loess earth echoed through the mountains.
"Even if the old man comes back today, he can't save you!"
After roaring, the yellow earth rushed straight down the mountain, its speed so great that it sent flying rocks and left afterimages on the mountainside.
Onoki glanced at Kurotsuchi, who had walked to the window and was curiously looking out, and expressionlessly ordered the two android guards at the door, "Protect Miss Kurotsuchi."
He then quickly ran down the mountain.
Heitu stood by the window, looking at the thick smoke billowing down the mountain, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
She knew, of course, that the person responsible for all of this was Deidara, the only lawless person in Iwagakure.
Looking at the village below the mountain, Kurotsuchi felt a mix of emotions and couldn't help but worry about the future of Iwagakure.
Grandpa's ninja village philosophy was destined to be the dregs of the old era.
She was also well aware of how terrifying the Star Kingdom's war potential was.
She grew up and graduated alongside the ninjas at the ninja academy who were deeply influenced by the "Star Thought," and witnessed the noble will and passion burning brightly in their eyes.
He has personally participated in grassroots practice, going deep among ordinary people. He has seen how impoverished civilians wept with joy upon receiving land, and how homeless refugees were resettled and began to live a good life after fleeing to the Star Kingdom.
It was precisely because she had seen and experienced it firsthand that Kurotsuchi became increasingly disappointed with the Land of Earth and the Hidden Stone Village.
But no matter what, this is still my hometown.
Just as Heitu was lost in sorrow, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two small white ants crawling on the window.
Hei Tu tilted his head, seemingly thinking of something, and his eyes widened.
The next moment, two white ants pounced on the android guard outside the cell.
Boom! Boom!
Two explosions rang out simultaneously, and the two androids were blown to smithereens before they could even react.
The smoke from the explosion, carried by the shockwave, rushed in through the window and instantly filled the entire room.
"Cough cough cough!" Hei Tu choked and covered his mouth and nose.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, a figure opened the cell door in the blurred vision.
Kurotsuchi squinted and saw Deidara leaning against the door frame, spinning a key in his right hand, his golden ponytail swaying slightly in the air.
He wore a cynical smile and an excitement of doing bad things.
"Hey, Kuroto."
Deidara smiled at Kurotsuchi and said, "You're disappointed with this boring village too, aren't you? Hmm..."
