Chapter 274: Kazekage Ninja- - 63: Iwagakure’s Campaign
"I was careless. I should’ve realized that old bastard Madara Uchiha wouldn’t go down that easily. He’s definitely the one pulling strings from the shadows this time!"
Jinghang pounded his forehead in frustration.
"But didn’t you see him get burned to ashes by the black flames with your own eyes?" asked Yamashita Tetsu.
"You don’t get it," Jinghang sighed. "The Uchiha clan has this... well, cheat code—no, a secret technique! I should’ve reviewed my notes... Damn, I completely forgot. Iwagakure’s sudden mobilization? That’s got Madara written all over it!"
"Secret technique? What kind?" Yamashita Tetsu pressed.
Jinghang launched into a detailed explanation of the Uchiha’s Izanagi—the forbidden jutsu that rewrites reality itself. By the end, Yamashita Tetsu was left wide-eyed in disbelief.
"That’s insane! Isn’t that just... rewriting fate itself?"
"Exactly. It’s literally called the ’Technique of Changing Destiny.’ If Madara were really dead, the Fourth Tsuchikage’s genjutsu would’ve broken. But according to the latest intel from Rouzhao, the Fourth Tsuchikage is still stumbling around in a trance—clearly still under illusion. I let my guard down, and now we’re paying the price."
Jinghang sounded deeply regretful.
"But didn’t you already have a plan for Iwagakure’s attack?" Yamashita Tetsu asked.
"A plan is one thing, but Chiyo’s forces are just too thin. Two thousand against an entire village’s army? That’s a huge risk. If anything goes wrong, we’ll be the first to break."
"Didn’t the Third Raikage promise to send reinforcements?"
