Saving Uchiha, Starts by Flipping The Table

By all logic, the Akatsuki shouldn't be this quiet. 

This is the organization that collects S-rank rogue ninjas and assassinates important figures from various countries. Calling them a terrorist group isn't an exaggeration. 

The Akatsuki members are all outlaws, impossible to control. 

With their rogue ninja personalities, they would never just sit by while the Five Great Shinobi Villages launch a joint attack. Unless they were planning to flee, they would definitely show the Five Villages what they were made of.

Since the Five Kage Summit until today, the Allied Forces have already reached the outskirts of Amegakure Village, but the Akatsuki organization hasn't made a single move.

Normally, they should be causing trouble for the Allied Forces in some way.

For example, setting traps along the way, ambushing, cutting off supply lines, and so on.

But there's nothing at all.

The elite forces sent from the village to escort the supply convoy didn't find a single trace of the enemy.

With the Five Great Shinobi Villages declaring war on Amegakure Village, no idiot from any other village would dare target the supply convoys at this time.

"Think from their perspective."

After finishing his meal, Yan put down his chopsticks and took a sip of tea:

"If I were a member of the Akatsuki, I would do everything I could to cause trouble for the Five Great Shinobi Villages, at least to slow down the war. Whatever impact it might have, it would be better than doing nothing."

"What do you think?"

"If it were me, I would do the same."

Nara Shikaku furrowed his brow deeply, feeling uneasy:

"Could it be that the Akatsuki's setup is all in Amegakure Village? Are they planning a major showdown with the Allied Forces?"

"That's what I'm curious about too."

"Let's wait for news. After dawn, the Allied Forces will start their attack. It won't be long before we hear something. Let's hope it's good news."

Although Yan said this, in reality, he could accept either good or bad news.

Of course, if the Third Hokage and the Sarutobi clan's ninjas die in Amegakure Village, that would be even better.

Losing a few people is something Konohagakure can handle.

Even losing the Third Hokage, Konohagakure would still manage.

So, they might as well die.

Hundreds of elite soldiers lost, along with the iconic Third Hokage, would be painful for Konohagakure.

Luckily, they can endure it, and it won't have too big an impact.

In other words, when all the Sarutobi clan ninjas and the Third Hokage are dead, how much better off will the other shinobi villages be?

By that time, Konohagakure wouldn't even need to go looking for trouble. Who would dare to challenge Konohagakure?

"Mm."

Shikaku fell silent as well. After clearing the tableware, he quietly drank tea with Yan while waiting for news from the front lines.

It was dawn, and the rain had stopped.

Perhaps the weather had cleared up because the heavens were in a good mood. Amegakure Village, which had been under constant rain, finally saw some sunshine today.

Too bad the weather couldn't affect the pace of the Allied Forces' attack.

With a command from Raikage and Ōnoki, the Allied Forces began their assault from the north and south.

The enemy had already reached the village walls, and Amegakure Village's ninjas finally began their counterattack.

Unfortunately, this level of counterattack didn't even make a dent in the Allied Forces.

Without the Akatsuki, Amegakure Village was just a small shinobi village.

Even if they had more ninjas, they couldn't pose a threat to an army made entirely of elite forces.

The Allied Forces advanced like a hot knife through butter.

In less than half an hour, they had broken through from two directions and had entered Amegakure Village.

"The real show begins."

At the top of a tower, the members of the Akatsuki gathered. Watching the Allied Forces pour into the village from two directions, Kakuzu licked his lips with a bloodthirsty smile.

Obito didn't hold back Nagato and joined them at the top of the tower.

Led by Pain, the Akatsuki members stood on either side. The angel of the organization, Konan, was nowhere to be seen.

"A bunch of useless fools!"

With one kick, Raikage crushed the chest of the resisting enemy beneath his foot.

He looked up and gazed into the distance. Wherever the Allied Forces went, the ground was littered with bodies.

On the other side, the Allied Forces' assault was even faster. Perhaps it was because the village had suffered significant losses, or perhaps because Oonoki was seeking some personal vengeance after losing his son.

As the Allied Forces began their direct assault, they launched a Dust Release attack on Amegakure Village, breaking through its walls with overwhelming force.

"Kazekage, still no sign of the Akatsuki members?"

Oonoki and Rasa, one using Earth Release and the other Magnet Release, flew through the sky.

Compared to Rasa, who had to stand on the sand, Oonoki, with his hands behind his back, floated effortlessly, looking more like a master.

"The Akatsuki members haven't shown up yet. The resistance from Amegakure Village is weak."

Rasa had been looking for Akatsuki members but unfortunately couldn't find any.

Amegakure Village isn't too big, but it's not exactly small either.

It's not so easy to find Akatsuki members here.

Unless they show themselves voluntarily or a battle occurs, causing chakra fluctuations to spread.

"Strange, could they be hiding?"

Oonoki was eager to confront the Akatsuki members. If they were hiding, he would be quite upset.

Breaking through a small village like Amegakure and still not finding any sign of Akatsuki members would be a huge embarrassment for the five great ninja villages.

"You'll pay for this."

In a hidden base, Konan didn't hesitate to ignite all her supplies. She needed to give the five great ninja villages a big surprise.

In the original story, Explosive Tags used by Obito were applied to the joint army of the five great ninja villages. Konan had put a lot of thought into setting these up, and she was waiting for this moment.

When the joint army entered Amegakure Village, she'd send them to the skies!

The resistance from Amegakure Village grew weaker, and the joint army's ninja started searching for Akatsuki members, gathering any usable intel.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, the sound of an explosion echoed through Amegakure Village.

At first, not many people paid attention, thinking it was just allies using Explosive Tags in battle.

This happens often on the battlefield!

Explosive Tags exploding? Not a big deal.

The explosions might have been a bit more powerful, or maybe more Explosive Tags were used. 

Which village's ninja is wasting so many Explosive Tags? Can't they be used separately?

The joint army ninjas who noticed the explosions couldn't help but think to themselves.

But unfortunately, they soon stopped complaining, as the explosions weren't just a single blast—they were a series.

"Boom!! Boom, boom!!!"

Amegakure Village seemed to be engulfed by Explosive Tags. With Konan setting them off, a chain reaction of explosions occurred.

Amid the roaring explosions, numerous buildings began to collapse. Many joint army ninjas were killed before they could react, buried under the rubble.

"The enemy has buried a large number of Explosive Tags in the village..."

After realizing this, A, the Third Hokage, and Yagura's expressions changed drastically.

On the other side, Oonoki was jumping up and down in frustration:

"The enemy has buried a large number of Explosive Tags in the village! The Akatsuki want to bury all the joint army ninjas here. How ruthless! How wicked!!!"

Rasa froze for a few seconds, instinctively wanting to save people.

But the joint army ninjas were scattered, searching for Akatsuki members. They weren't gathered together.

Even if he used Magnet Release to protect them, he couldn't save many people.
