Chapter 73 - Chapter 72: The Sixth Consecutive Draw!

The moment news of the Kaguya clan and Beni-yama clan rebellions reached the ninja world, it instantly swept through the entire world.

Basically, all the ninja villages were discussing it.

Compared to the Uchiha clan rebellion back then, it was by no means inferior.

Among them, four individuals were particularly highlighted.

One was Rasa.

Before this, everyone in the ninja world looked at Rasa and felt that he was just a Kazekage forcibly promoted.

He didn't truly possess the demeanor of a Kazekage.

It was only because the Third Kazekage suddenly disappeared.

But now, their view of Rasa had changed.

"Not only is he strong, but he also knows how to hide his clumsiness and bide his time. It proves that Rasa not only has strength but also brains. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to resolve the Beni-yama clan matter so easily."

"Using himself as bait to lure the Beni-yama clan into a trap—this isn't something just anyone can do."

"After all, the Beni-yama clan aren't fools either."

At this time, some people mentioned the second person in this discussion.

"Besides Rasa, Beni-yama Tategami's existence also played a very important role in the Beni-yama clan falling for the trap."

"As a member of the Beni-yama clan, he didn't stand on the side of his family but defected to the village. I have to say, this Beni-yama Tategami is truly a talent."

Many people were disdainful of Beni-yama Tategami.

In the eyes of these people, clansmen were inevitably closer existences.

Even if clansmen did something wrong, one should help their own rather than reason.

Yet Beni-yama Tategami had acted completely contrary to them.

Others held different opinions.

"What's wrong with Beni-yama Tategami?"

"The Beni-yama clan rebelled, so Tategami had to go die with them?"

"It wasn't Rasa actively targeting the Beni-yama clan. It was only because the Beni-yama clan sold out the Sand Village's intelligence and was discovered, fearing the village's punishment, that they risked rebellion."

"Beni-yama Tategami only did the correct and righteous thing."

Some people were very scornful of Tategami.

"If not for Tategami, the Beni-yama clan wouldn't have been exterminated. He is a traitor to his family!"

Others retorted.

"If not for Tategami, the Beni-yama clan wouldn't even have a bloodline inheritance left."

Suddenly, the voices of these people quieted down.

Because a very special figure walked toward them.

An Uchiha.

At this time, the vast majority of Uchiha stayed behind closed doors.

Except for necessary purchases, they all stayed within the compound.

Not prisoners, but living lives no different from prisoners.

Shisui Uchiha was one of those who went out more frequently.

Because besides his identity as an Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha also held a position in Konoha.

Personally appointed by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The impression the people of Konoha had of Shisui Uchiha was better than that of other Uchiha.

On one hand, it was Shisui Uchiha's performance since childhood.

As a genius, he was never arrogant because of his talent.

He behaved very peacefully toward his companions and the villagers.

On the other hand, it was because of "Kagami Uchiha's" words back then.

"Kagami Uchiha" used his death to win a trace of sympathy for the Uchiha clan.

And most of this sympathy fell on Shisui Uchiha.

an "innocent" Uchiha.

An Uchiha similar to Kagami Uchiha back then.

Shisui Uchiha kept his head down as he walked past.

Doubts arose in his heart regarding these people of Konoha.

Because when these Konoha people discussed the Beni-yama clan, some stood on the Beni-yama clan's side, and some stood on the Sand Village's side. Yet when discussing the Uchiha, not a single person stood on the Uchiha's side.

They all felt the Uchiha were in the wrong.

"Then was my choice of the village correct or incorrect?"

"Beni-yama Tategami, what are your thoughts?"

At this moment, a strong impulse arose in Shisui Uchiha's heart. He wished he could immediately go to the Sand Village, find Beni-yama Tategami, and ask for his true thoughts.

Inside the Uchiha compound.

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head.

"Look at these people of Konoha. The Beni-yama clan sold out the Sand Village's intelligence, yet some of them still stand on the Beni-yama clan's side, thinking Tategami was wrong to abandon his clansmen, worse than an animal."

"But what about our Uchiha?"

"We didn't sell out the village; we were just constantly targeted by the village."

"Yet among the people of Konoha, not one thinks you were wrong, Father, or that you were worse than an animal, Father."

"Father, you also chose the village and abandoned your clansmen."

Fugaku Uchiha sighed.

The Uchiha clan members who had fled and were in exile also expressed very obvious disgust toward Beni-yama Tategami.

"This Beni-yama Tategami simply isn't human!"

"Abandoning his clansmen, betraying his family."

"Just like those Uchiha currently in Konoha."

"No, those Uchiha currently in Konoha are even more beastly than Beni-yama Tategami!"

"At least the Beni-yama clan sold out the Sand Village first."

"But what did we Uchiha do to wrong Konoha?"

An Uchiha came before Yashiro Uchiha.

"Lord Yashiro, should we ally with the Kaguya clan?"

"We are both ninja clans targeted by village higher-ups and forced to defect. The Kaguya clan's strength is also quite good. If we ally, our strength will be even greater."

Yashiro Uchiha thought for a while, then shook his head.

"An alliance could indeed increase our strength, but it would also bring us a new enemy."

"Facing both Konoha and the Mist Village at the same time is too much pressure."

"But the Kaguya clan is indeed quite impressive."

"They did better than we Uchiha did back then."

"They actually beat the Third Mizukage into a heavily injured state."

Yashiro Uchiha revealed a smile.

Even though the Uchiha and the Third Mizukage had no past grievances or recent enmity.

But in Yashiro Uchiha's view, the position of the Third Mizukage was the same as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Both were shameless village higher-ups.

"Especially that Kaguya Kagami."

"An elderly Genin, sacrificing himself, strapped full of explosive tags, dealt a painful blow to the Third Mizukage. If not for this Kaguya Kagami, it would have been impossible for the Kaguya clan members to heavily injure the Third Mizukage later."

"Truly worthy of someone with the same name as Senior Kagami."

This was exactly the point that made Hiruzen Sarutobi look grim.

Kaguya Kagami was the fourth person in the ninja world's discussions, besides Rasa, the Third Mizukage, and Beni-yama Tategami.

With the body of a Genin, he detonated directly against the Third Mizukage.

It was too shocking.

In many people's eyes, Kaguya Kagami was a hero.

A hero who sacrificed himself for his family.

"Kaguya Kagami deserves respect!"

"A hero among ordinary ninja."

But just like Yashiro Uchiha, since Kaguya Kagami and Kagami Uchiha shared the same name, mentioning Kaguya Kagami led some people to compare him with Kagami Uchiha.

One a genius, but died silently.

One an ordinary person, but died with tragic heroism.

This caused Rasa's points to rise rapidly once again.

Suddenly, they stopped moving.

Rasa was stunned for a moment, then realized.

"The points have reached the limit."
