Chapter 192: Setsuna
---The Betrayal of Konoha: The Day Uzushiogakure Was Abandoned---
The portal that connected Uzushiogakure and Konohagakure had been tampered with. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, along with Danzo Shimura, had done everything in their power to sabotage the gateway portal. They hoped to prevent any communication or request for aid, ensuring that Uzushiogakure would fall in silence, isolated and helpless.
But the communication device that they had tampered are still works even if the tower of communication fall.
Setsuna had used the tower as a distraction because without it they can still received a signal and internet speed around 300 mbps download and upload.
The tower will boost the internet connection to 2gbps download and upload and they had not accounted for Uchiha Setsuna who meddled in all of this.
Setsuna, using his mastery of Mangekyou Sharingan, activated Kamui, transporting several elite Uzumaki shinobi directly into the heart of Konoha. Even with the sabotage from Hokage, it cannot stop them. More than that, Setsuna deployed a shadow clone to work tirelessly on restoring the damaged portal and damaged telco tower, repair it within 10 minutes.
With Kamui and the repaired portal and telco tower, Konoha had no excuse. Reinforcements could now be sent instantaneously. There would be no delay. No plausible deniability. Hiruzen could no longer say, "We received the news too late."
---Hokage POV---
"What? How can other people know about it?" asked Hiruzen to the Anbu.
Just earlier, the messenger from Uzushiogakure arrived in Konoha and asked for help, which shocked the Hokage.
They had done everything in their power to sabotage Uzushiogakure and even stopped their attempts to send a messenger, but still, they managed to send a group of ninja to the front gate of Konoha.
Konoha guards tried to stop them from entering the village, but suddenly Tsunade came and brought them all inside.
The guards couldn't do anything because Tsunade had a special status, first she is the Princess of Senju and second she is the disciple of Third Hokage.
Inside the Hokage office....
Stood Uzumaki Kuro and the people from the Uzumaki Clan.
"Our village is going to be attacked in one hour. They've already come to our place. We need reinforcements to defend our village," said Uzumaki Kuro.
The Hokage just blinked his eyes. He was too shocked to say anything. He didn't expect them to succeed in coming here, and the worst part was that they came with Tsunade. That meant the story would most likely reach Uzumaki Mito.
"Our portal is broken," said Hiruzen, trying to give a reason. His brain was malfunctioning at this time and give a stupid answer.
Uzumaki Kuro became silent for a while, then continued, "Don't worry. We can fix it in no time. What we need is an army to defeat the invaders."
"How many of them are coming?" asked the Hokage.
"According to the report, it is more than 60,000. So we need almost all the ninja to defend Uzushiogakure," reported Kuro.
Hearing this, Hiruzen was silent for a while. "It is not my place to send reinforcements. I need to ask for the people's opinion first."
"Sensei, what do you mean?" Tsunade frowned. At this time, she was no longer naïve. Her grandmother had told her about Hiruzen and how he had tried to target members of the Senju Clan.
"Tsunade, if we send an army, it could cause another world war. I need to convince the others first," said Hiruzen.
There were a lot of arguments, and eventually Uzumaki Mito came to the office. Upon hearing that the gates were broken, she brought all the Uzumaki people to help fix the portal gates.
She done this to give Danzo and Hiruzen a chance to plot a new plan, Setsuna had told her about the probability that they are the one who wanted to destroy Uzushiogakure. So let the enemy be happy first.
Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Danzo, but within a few minutes he heard a report from his Anbu
The story about Konoha Betrayal spread among civillian, the Hokage's decision not to lend a hand to their ally.
"Hokage-sama, it's because Uzushiogakure posted on social media that Konoha didn't want to help, giving a reason like 'it will cause another war,' even though it's already a war when another village sends shinobi to attack them," reported a jonin from the Sarutobi Clan.
"Damn," said Hiruzen with frustration.
Suddenly, the door was opened by Danzo.
"Hiruzen, don't worry. When I noticed something was wrong, I issued fake missions to almost all the shinobi. Even our Jinchuuriki has been sent to the borderline. It will take at least half a day for them to return," said Danzo.
Hiruzen smiled.
"Good, Danzo," said Hiruzen.
Danzo did this because he knew that if Hiruzen fell, he would fall too.
"Tell them that we will send reinforcements and let Tsunade handle it," said Hiruzen to the jonin there. "I hope the enemy manage to destroy the village within half a day and I hope mito died this time. She cannot use tailed beast mode unlike Aburame.
---Uzushiogakure---
"How is the situation, Setsuna?" asked the Uzukage, standing atop the cliff, watching incoming enemy in the distance.
"As expected, they're trying to prevent reinforcements. The main route to Konoha has been tampered with. Powerful shinobi are stationed along the path, clearly with the intention of stopping the news. My shadow clone barely made it through," reported Setsuna, his eyes cold.
The Uzukage's face darkened. "So Konoha really betrayed us."
"Yes, Father. I've confirmed the truth. The portal was sabotaged. Communications were cut. And the moment our ninja arrived in Konoha, Danzo sent nearly every active shinobi on bogus missions. The Hokage is using excuses about 'avoiding another war,' but it's clear they never intended to help."
The Uzukage took a deep breath, his expression grim. Then he turned and placed a hand on Setsuna's shoulder.
"Then the time has come. Show them the power of the new Uzukage. From this moment on, I pass the title to you. Defend our people. Lead them."
Setsuna didn't speak. He only nodded solemnly, his heart already burning with resolve.
