Chapter 135 Hand over Uchiha Shisui!
Chapter 135 Hand over Uchiha Shisui!
Just as the residents of Konoha were flocking to the village gate, preparing to see the envoys of other countries and welcome the three years of peace that would follow, a reconnaissance team led by the special Jonin Inuzukazuma was in the southeast of the village. to carry out patrol missions about 100 kilometers away.
Not long ago, they encountered a gang of robbers who robbed passing businessmen and tourists along the way.
Although only six of the more than thirty bandits were wandering ninjas, they still had strength in numbers.
Under the intensive siege of bows and arrows, three people and one dog fought back hard, but some people were unfortunately hit by the enemy's poisonous arrows.
Somewhat ironically, the injured one was a Hyuga Chuunin with full-angle vision.
At this time, in the forest not far from the avenue, Hinata Nariju was leaning sideways under a big tree.
Inuzuka Claw's ninja dog Kuromaru sniffed carefully near the wound on his lower back, his human eyes full of thinking.
"I really don't have a big problem."
Seeing the expression on the face of his fellow chuunin saying "Are you going to die?" Hinata Naruki said helplessly: "I'm just a little dizzy. Besides, they're just some bandits, what kind of powerful poison can they have?" ..."
"Boy, it takes all your strength to fight a lion against a rabbit! Don't take these amateur ninjas seriously!"
Inuzukazuma stood in front of him and taught him a lesson with his hands on his hips: "The toxins these guys use are usually very powerful. Trouble. Because they don't have the standard poisons of major ninja villages. They basically just see something poisonous in the woods and just apply it on their weapons without thinking about it. They never thought about preparing an antidote. You can't fix this wound. It will be very troublesome!"
"It can't be such a coincidence. It's probably just the sap of some poisonous mushrooms or something like that..." "
Unfortunately, you were right, Talon."
Kuromaru interrupted Hinata Nariju's luck. idea.
"This is not any kind of toxin I have ever smelled. But the skin near the wound has a different color, and there is also a faint smell of insects. It should be the tissue fluid of some kind of arthropod, and it is reacting with his blood."
" Tsk! That's a protein toxin!"
Inuzukazuka raised his eyebrows and felt a big headache.
The Chuunin next to him immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, his eyebrows drooped, and he said nervously: "But in this case, the broad-spectrum anti-venom given to us by Konoha Hospital cannot be used." The
so-called broad-spectrum anti-venom is after A specially formulated Tiger Balm type antidote to most common toxins.
If a Konoha ninja mistakenly eats poisonous wild fruits or mushrooms in the wild, or encounters standard poisons from other ninja villages, this anti-poison agent can have a good inhibitory effect.
However, protein toxins are a different story.
Just like many people bitten by rare venomous snakes, if they want to be cured, they must use the corresponding detoxification serum. Otherwise, indiscriminate use of drugs will only make the chemical composition of the patient's body more complex.
"But apart from being a little dizzy, I really don't feel anything."
Seeing Inuzuka's brows furrowing, Hinata Naruki said quickly: "I managed to escape this time, so I don't have to participate in the mission's affairs. I'm sorry. Don't send me back!"
"Speaking of which, I've long felt strange. Why do you have to force the Hyuga clan to welcome the delegation?"
Inuzuka Claw complained: "If I were the village's advisor, I would definitely let you The farther away you are from the Kumo ninja, the better. If you let the Hyuga clan go to meet the enemy, are you really not afraid of triggering the Fourth Ninja War on the spot?" "
It's surveillance, it's surveillance."
Hyuga Naruki corrected Inuzuka Kuma's statement: "Others The people did go to welcome them, but the order given to all the jounin of the Hyuga clan was to monitor the movements of the missions from the two countries at all times. There are more than thirty jounin in our clan, and they were all transferred last night. Like me Such Chuunin are also placed on standby near the embassy. It should be the village's intention.
"At this time, it would be too conspicuous for me to go back. If those old men from the Zong family saw me resting, I don't know what unpleasant things they would say. "
What he didn't say was that several clan members, including his father, who had been responsible for observing Uchiha's movements all year round, were also urgently called this time and suspended from their original work. This shows that the top management of Konoha is wary of and pays attention to the Kumo ninja.
" Yeah? That old guy from Mito Gate is famous for being afraid of causing 'misunderstandings'. It seemed that this order was given by the one with the bandage on his eyes, which was a good move. The attitude of the village has finally become tougher. "
Inuzukazhao muttered twice, then stopped worrying, and turned the topic back to the really important things.
"But if you don't go back, your poison will not be cured. To be honest, I know nothing about medical ninjutsu, so you have to think clearly, kid.
"It doesn't matter. I'll use chakra to resist first. Maybe I'll be fine after a while. " "
As he spoke, Hinata Nariju's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes focused tightly around the wound on his abdomen. The Byakugan
can see the chakra meridians of the human body, so it should not be possible to control chakra to fill the chakra acupuncture points near the wound and inhibit the spread of toxins. Question.
However, less than a second after Hinata Nariju did this, the originally normal wound suddenly began to bleed as if it had been torn apart by an invisible hand.
Dense black and purple thin lines centered on the wound, It spread towards the surroundings in the shape of a spider web; the thickest black line among them rushed upward along Hinata Nariju's spine, and in the blink of an eye it had climbed to the back of his neck!
"Ugh! "The severe pain in his body made Hinata Nariju yell in pain, and he fell to the ground like a collapsed house.
But as he stopped using chakra, the speed of the black line's climb slowed down significantly. There are many, but Hinata Nariki's neck covered with black lines looks extremely scary.
Even if he knows nothing about toxicology, he can still see that he has a big problem now.
"Nariki! "The other chuunin was shocked and helped his companion to sit up, "What's going on? "
Trouble. " "Hinata Nariki doesn't need to answer by himself, Inuzukazuma has already figured out the answer in his heart.
"This toxin not only reacts with the blood, but can also mix into chakra and attack the human body along the chakra meridians... What on earth is it? There are toxins specifically designed to deal with chakra. "
"Then what should we do now? "
The chuunin looked at Hinata Nariju who was covered in mud, and he panicked first.
"Don't worry so much..."
Hinata Nariju opened his eyes and spoke coherently, "It just hurt a little bit. After I stopped using chakra, I no longer felt the same way as before.
"In other words, although the way the toxin invades is strange, it is not very toxic and should not be fatal. " "
Inuzukazu made a judgment.
The chuunin had just felt relieved, but Inuzukazu's voice changed, "But boy, the problem now is not the toxin itself. "
She directly reached out and touched the black line on the back of Hinata's neck, and said in a very serious tone: "Maybe the concentration of chakra just now stimulated the toxicity, and it is still continuing to rise. Although the spread has slowed down a lot, it seems It looks like it will only take half an hour at most to hit your temples!"
"..."
Hinata Nariju's face showed a look of astonishment, and then he clenched his fists tightly together. The light that surged out of his eyes at this moment was not so much fear of death as fleeting anger.
The chuunin didn't know why: "So what if we reach the temple? Doesn't it mean that the poison is not strong? It only took us five or six hours to get here. We should be able to go back before midnight! Naruki will be fine by then. ."
"Can't wait that long!"
This is not the first time Inuzuka Claw has acted with the ninjas from the Hinata family, and he knows some inside information.
"There is a curse seal of the Hyuga clan on Naruki's forehead. Once the toxin invades the chakra points around the eyes, the curse seal will judge that the Byakugan has been attacked. In order to protect the Byakugan from outsiders, the curse seal will directly The brain and eyeballs turn into a puddle of paste! This is what is really fatal."
"What?!"
the Chuunin exclaimed, then showed an angry look on his face, "But why does he have such a thing on his eyes? Huh? In order to protect those eyes, can you just ignore the lives of your clan members?"
The poison may not kill Hinata Nariju, but it won't be long before he dies in the seal set by his clan members.
Putting himself in Naruki's shoes, the chuunin felt chills all over his body and felt a sense of despair for no apparent reason.
"It's obviously not a serious poison. Why..."
"Forget it. Thinking about this is just asking for trouble."
Hinata Naruki leaned back open-mindedly, as if he knew that sooner or later he would be like this again.
"Since you were born in a branch family, some things are inevitable. Everything is determined by fate. You can't blame others."
Fatalism is the most widely spread philosophy of life among the Hyuga branch family. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of self-comfort and paralysis. narrative device.
After all, as long as all misfortunes are attributed to illusory fate, there will be no one to resent.
Otherwise, if you always show your anger on your face, you will not be able to survive smoothly in that clan.
You must know that the clan family is to the branch family just like the shepherd is to the sheep. Not only do they want you to obey, they want you to obey willingly. Being able to control the curse seals of branch family members at will is the ability to discipline them. Because once you show resistance, you will be greeted by a tight spell that will give you a splitting headache.
"Are you kidding me? My subordinate died inexplicably on the first day. How can I bring new people with me in the future?!"
Inuzuka Takashi was angered by Hinata Nariki's indifferent attitude and spit out two sharp arrows. Canine rummaged around in his vest and took out a syringe.
"If that doesn't work, just give an injection of broad-spectrum anti-venom to see the effect! Then we'll go to the nearest patrol station immediately. There should be medical ninjas on duty there. If you hold on a little longer, I'll take you there no matter what. Go there!"
"It's useless."
Hinata Nariju shook his head firmly, "Let's not say whether we can reach the patrol station in half an hour... Even if we meet a medical ninja there, if he is in my eyes If medical ninjutsu is used nearby, it will also be judged as attacking the Byakugan. The curse seal will still be activated." "
That's unreasonable! What a bullshit curse seal!"
The chuunin was also really angry, "Then if you say so, if you If it's just the area around the eye, not the eye itself, there's no way to receive treatment?"
"..." Hinata Nariju didn't speak this time. But silence itself is the coldest answer.
"These bastards!"
Inuzukazuma yelled and punched the big tree next to him, causing the huge tree crown to shake under the punch. The leaves rub against each other, making a dense rustling sound.
During the war, it was not like she had never encountered Hyuga clan members who had died.
He was the first person to die for such a ridiculous reason.
Inuzukazu's character was already violent and straightforward, but now when he thought of Hinata Hinata, who was always polite, a strong anger suddenly welled up in his heart.
Just when the atmosphere in the field became gradually gloomier, and the air was about to turn into ice water and dripping, the rustling noise suddenly became much louder.
Inuzukazuma instinctively raised her head and found that not only the tree she had punched was shaking, but the entire forest in front of her was shaking its head regularly, and a strong wind was sweeping in from the other end of the forest.
"Claw, someone is coming!"
Kuroimaru sniffed against the wind pressure pouring out of the forest, his eyes showing intense vigilance.
"The opponent is very fast! And very powerful!"
"Is it at this time?"
Inuzukazuma winked at the chuunin. The two of them blocked Hinata Naruki behind them and took out their kunai to get into stance.
The next moment, a red light shot from a distance, and a fierce and hot storm broke out in front of the two people.
Inuzuka Claw's short and medium hair was blown messily and he narrowed his eyes involuntarily; the chuunin was pushed back several steps by the wind pressure before he stabilized his figure.
When the storm subsided, the two of them looked forward again, only to notice the uninvited guest in front of them who could make the chuunin lose their combat effectiveness just by moving.
That was a stern-looking young man. He was wearing a simple warrior uniform, with a purple pillar and rope wrapped around his waist, and white mist was flowing out of his mouth.
The air around his body was distorted by the high temperature, and the dust under his feet continued to spread around as if being pushed by invisible hands.
In this case, no one will have any contempt for the other person's childish appearance.
The so-called "visible to the naked eye" power refers to this situation.
However, both Inuzuka Claw and the Chuunin relaxed a lot when they saw the boy's face.
Inuzuka's claws were relaxed because he had a chance encounter with the other party; and the Chuunin was because he saw the purple-red Sharingan - only Konoha has Uchiha, so this strangely dressed boy must be It's one of our own.
"Is anyone injured?"
Giyong did not say any greetings, but looked directly past the two of them and towards Hinata Nariki behind them.
He didn't come here just because he felt something. He set out from Slug's hometown of Uzumaki Country last night and used the breath of the moon to drive all night long. After dawn, the efficiency of the breath of the moon decreased, so he used the breath of fire and one type to return to Konoha in a straight line. I thought I met an acquaintance.
Three years ago, when Uchiha Enhuo disappeared, Shisui asked this special jounin and her ninja dog to find some clues. Yiyong has always remembered the other party's help, but since he went to school, the two have not seen each other much.
"Excuse me, your Excellency..."
Although the other party showed good concern for the injured, he did not introduce himself or even say hello, which was not in line with the normal human interaction process.
But just when the chuunin asked, Giyuu passed directly between him and Inuzukazuma without anyone noticing, and came to Hinata Nariki.
Then, Hinata Nariju felt a familiar sight -
the kind of sight that only saw everything seen when the tribesmen used their Byakugan on him.
"The poison mixed with Chakra..."
Giyuu saw the clues at a glance, which surprised the three people present, "But it's not a very important poison."
"How did you see it?"
Hinata Nariju still thought about it. Feeling like that just now. If it weren't for the other party clearly glaring at a Sharingan, he would really have to doubt the other party's bloodline.
"Just see with your eyes."
Yiyong asked in confusion: "Also, you obviously have eyes (white eyes), why were you shot?"
The wound was not deep, indicating that the bow and arrow did not fly very fast. The Hyuga clan's vision is 360 degrees, so there's no reason why they can't avoid it.
After hearing Giyuu's question, Hinata Nariki immediately said with enlightenment: "You are Uchiha Giyuu, right?"
He had heard it mentioned by the juniors who graduated two years ago.
If you meet an Uchiha brat who has an expressionless face but speaks particularly unpleasantly, you must be calm, because the other person is most likely the youngest son of the Uchiha clan leader. In fact, he is a gentle person who loves to share food, and he never lies.
"You know me?"
"I've admired my name for a long time." This is the truth.
Without continuing, Giyuu considered doing it in front of others and made a few seals as Anjuro instructed. His right hand was immediately covered by a jellyfish-like filmy liquid.
"This is..." Inuzukazuma's eyes narrowed.
"The art of extracting minor troubles."
Giyuu placed his hand over Hinata Nariju's wound. Purple blood continuously seeped out from the wound and floated into the membranous liquid. The black blood on Hinata Nariju's back The lines became visibly lighter and lighter...
About thirty seconds later, Yiyong threw the toxin-filled water ball into the nearby bushes.
"You're fine. Farewell."
After saying that, he nodded to Inuzuka Claw and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait for me!"
Inuzuka Claw finally realized that Hinata Nariju's big crisis has been resolved. With a wave of his hand, Kuromaru immediately rushed up and bit Giyuu's trouser leg.
However, Yiyong was too strong and had to drag a big wolf dog several steps before he could react.
"I have something urgent to go home."
Giyuu turned around, "Do you have anything else to do? If it's not important, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
"It's really..."
Inuzuka Takashi rubbed his eyebrows worriedly. , "Where do you want me to start?"
"I am really important..."
"I know, I know! But can't you delay even a few minutes?"
Inuzuka Takashi said from the moment he saw Giyuu to Now, there are so many questions to ask - why are you so strong and still in the same class as my son? Why are you staring at a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes? Why do you even know something as complicated as medical ninjutsu? Why did you run back from the direction of the Country of Whirlpool only three days after the Ninja School started?
But obviously, these questions are not suitable to ask at this time. He looked really anxious.
"A few minutes..." Yiyong muttered and glanced at his electronic watch. It was already past three in the afternoon.
He thought for a while and asked first: "How far is it from here to Konoha?"
"About six hours' journey."
"That's three hours." Giyu converted. He was traveling at about twice the speed of an ordinary ninja.
"...Forget it."
Inuzukazuma sighed, "I have to thank you for today's matter. I didn't expect it to be solved so easily. Although you are eager to go back, I still want to remind you that the gate of Konoha It was forbidden to pass before tonight, so there is no need to walk so fast!"
"No passage?" Giyu asked: "Why is that?"
"You don't know?"
Inuzuka Takuma explained: "Kumo Ninja and Iwa The Ninja delegation is coming, and half the village will be waiting at the gate to greet them. All the heads of the Ninja clan in Konoha will be waiting there. Ordinary people cannot pass through there." "
My parents. Are you and Sasuke over there?"
"Yes." Inuzukazu nodded, "As a guard captain, your father will have to go to a meeting later. All the students in the Ninja School should also go to watch the ceremony." "
In this way... ..."
Yiyong thought for a while. The gate cannot be opened, and if we go back too early, there will be no one at home.
In this case, it is better to use the Anbu's hand seal directly to enter Konoha from the barrier near Minagawa Falls. Before going home, it would be good to stop by Minagawa Shrine and hand over the Sharingan he got from Orochimaru to the shrine's priest so that the tribesmen can rest in peace...
After making up his mind, Giyuu faced Inuzuka Claw nodded: "Thank you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Inuzuka Claw was speechless for a while and could only wave his hand.
When she turned around, she noticed that Hinata Nariki had just successfully gotten up with the help of her companions.
His crystal white eyes blinked, looking in the direction where the red light disappeared, and murmured: "I haven't said thank you yet..."
After a while, Konoha.
According to the regulations, the Kumo ninja team that would enter the village at four o'clock has yet to show up. Mito Kadobu, who was waiting under the gate of Konoha, turned darker and darker, and the bustling crowd was boiling.
It was okay for the civilians, but the dissatisfaction among the ninjas was almost setting Mito Kadobu's hair on fire.
"What? You're late even though you're a ninja..."
"This is a serious diplomatic faux pas!"
"Let me tell you, these bandits don't take us seriously at all!" "
What happened six years ago was indeed due to the concessions of Konoha - to be precise, it was the sacrifice of the Hyuga clan that brought peace, but that was undoubtedly a slap in the face of all the ninjas in this village. Most of the ninjas have long been dissatisfied with Kumo Ninja.
"Things are getting a little troublesome. "
Not far behind Mito Kadoen, Nara Shikaku glanced at the sky and said, "Originally, in terms of time arrangement, Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja arrived separately. But if we continue like this, the two sides may collide..."
"Perhaps Yun Ninja did it intentionally. "
The fat man Akimichi Teiza smiled heartily, "If we really have to fight, it will be a good show. When a hyena meets a lion, the outcome is hard to predict. "
The style of the Kumo Ninja Village is strong. Whatever they see - whether it is blood succession, jinchūriki or secret ninjutsu, they all grab it at any time. Even the Raikage sometimes takes action personally and always acts unscrupulously.
And the Iwa Ninja Village Ninjas like to stick together and often go out in groups. Once, in order to kill the third Raikage, the Iwa Ninja mobilized tens of thousands of people to besiege the former for several days before killing the former. It was
also because of this incident that the two The Ninja Village formed a blood feud.
"I always feel that things are not that simple..."
Nara Shikaku shook his head, "Iwa Ninja has not signed a formal document with Konoha for so many years, so he chose this special day to come here. , is there really no problem inside? "
The patriarchs of the other major families were silent.
Among them, Uchiha Fugaku, the first one on the left, has a round, fat face like a discus - he has been a little uneasy ever since he heard his wife talk about Giyuu at noon. Even Akimichi Choza came to talk to him before. He told jokes about fat people and got no response.
Uchiha Fugaku had already decided that if the mission left Giyuu and did not come back, he would go to the Kingdom of Water himself.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the avenue outside Konoha.
Many civilians thought that the mission had finally arrived, and cheered loudly one after another. However, when they got closer, they noticed that it was a Konoha ninja, and their voices immediately dropped again.
When Mito Kadoyan saw that person, his heart skipped a beat: That ninja was the one he sent to pick up the Yunnin envoy. How could he come back alone first?
Nara Shikaku stared over there, and he saw the ninja coming to Mito Kadoyan with a tangled expression and whispering something. Immediately afterwards, Mito Kabuto's old face spread out like a pancake, as if he heard something unbelievable...
Akimichi Tingza asked jokingly: "What's going on? Is there really a fight?"
"No. ."
Everyone turned their heads, but saw Hinata Hinatsu saying with a gloomy face: "The person just said that the Kumo ninja's delegation turned around halfway and decided to go with the Iwa ninja's delegation, and the Iwa ninja also agreed. The two missions will arrive in Konoha at the same time in an hour."
"What?!"
"How is this possible?"
"There is a deadly feud between them."
"Nothing is impossible."
Nara Shikaku sighed and shook his head. Shaking his head: "For the village and the country, hatred and friendship are temporary. Only interests can truly unite them. The two countries' missions entering Konoha together are obviously explaining to us that they are the We're all on the same side. I'm afraid things won't go too smoothly today..."
"The so-called peace agreement..."
"It depends on what they want."
After hearing this, many people turned back Looking at Hinata and Hizu's expression, everyone thought that this time was a continuation of the incident six years ago.
Hinata Hiashi didn't say anything. He looked forward, but with his Byakugan he could clearly see his eldest daughter, who had been unable to hold herself up the wall in the ranks of Ninja School students, talking nervously to Uzumaki Naruto.
For the first time in years, he felt a modicum of relief at his daughter's courage. Now he just hopes that when the Kumo ninja arrive and reveal their true ambitions, Hinata can still maintain the dignity of the Hyuga clan.
Soon, the real team appeared in everyone's sight.
Two missions, one on the left and one on the right, came slowly holding high the flags representing the country and the Ninja Village.
A few hundred meters away, Hinata Hiashi could already see the domineering face of the Kumo ninja representative, but if you look closely, you will find that this is probably a disguise made to deliberately anger others, no different from back then.
But when Hinata Hiashi turned his attention to the Iwa Ninja and his group, he suddenly paused for breath.
[The expressions of those people...]
He recalled what happened six years ago with some uneasiness.
Because the expressions of these Iwa ninjas were just like those of the clan members at the funeral of his brother Hyuga Hizashi.
That kind of heartfelt mixture of sorrow and anger is difficult to perform, let alone everyone in the mission.
[What happened? ]
Huge doubts arose in Rixing Rizu's heart, and the team of the mission finally came closer.
Because the low pressure on the side of the Iwa Ninja Mission was too obvious, the residents of Konoha who were still cheering stopped and asked each other with their eyes without knowing why.
As the person in charge, Mito Kadoyan was more anxious than anyone else at this time, and he just begged the other party not to openly attack in public.
But things went counterproductive.
Thirty meters away from the gate, the Iwa ninjas stopped, and the Kumo ninjas followed suit.
Only then, the actions of the two sides were different - the Kumo ninjas waited on the spot, while the Iwa ninjas took off their ninja forehead protectors one by one, and put on narrow white cloths under the strange eyes of the Konoha residents.
"This is..." Mito Menyan's pupils shrank, and he suddenly shouted in his heart that it was terrible.
Looking at the Iwa Ninja again at this moment, this and that are not a mission, they are clearly a funeral procession.
The Iwa ninjas continued to move forward with expressions of grief and anger. Not only did the Cloud ninjas not take the lead, they even allowed them to go ahead.
Seeing that the funeral procession was about to enter the gate of Konoha, Mito Kadoyan immediately greeted the representative of the Iwa Ninja Mission and asked: "Gray soil jounin, what do you mean by dressing up like this?
" The Jonin representatives and the heads and wives of the major ninja clans followed closely behind. However, the closer they get, the more they realize that the sad expressions of these Iwa ninjas are not disguises, but real feelings.
Representative Iwa Ninja glanced at Mito Kadeni, ignoring the old man who could not really make the decision at first glance, but asked loudly: "Excuse me, who is the leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku? "
No one needed to answer. Mito Katoyan's turned gaze full of surprise and questioning had already given Iwa Ninja the answer he wanted.
Uchiha Fugaku took a step forward with an expressionless face, "I am."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the Iwa ninjas suddenly changed.
The eyes widened together, filled with bright red bloodshot like flames. From the anger without a target before, it turned into a deep hatred against Uchiha Fugaku, with a strong murderous intention.
Many civilians and Ninja School students were frightened by the sudden burst of momentum from the Iwa Ninjas. Sasuke, who didn't know why his father had to face such a look, felt his heart in his throat.
"Very good."
The Iwa Ninja gritted his teeth and uttered two words on behalf of the Gray Ninja, and then looked at Mito Kadoyan with a threatening tone.
"This time we Iwagakure ninjas have only one request."
He paused and said his purpose in an angry voice: "That is Uchiha Shisui, who broke into our Earth Kingdom and killed hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas, today must Execution!!!"
A day when I don't know what I'm writing
(end of this chapter)
Chapter 136 The picture shows the poor dagger
Chapter 136: Pictures and Daggers Seen
When the gray soil jounin spoke, his eyes widened in anger, and the throbbing blood vessels forced his temples to beat rhythmically.
After all, from the perspective of the Iwa ninja, they were indeed innocent victims this time.
While the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth were in a non-war state, Konoha secretly sent an Uchiha tribesman who was extremely talented and proficient in illusions to quietly reach the hinterland of Iwa Ninja Village.
According to the information the Third Tsuchikage Onoki bought from a mercenary organization, Shunshen Shisui, known as the top master of Uchiha, came just for the tailed beasts.
Nearly ten years ago, a Nine-Tails Rebellion caused Konoha to lose the powerful fourth-generation Hokage and his wife. The title of the leader of the five great ninja villages immediately became unworthy of the name. Only then did the Kumo ninja kidnap Hyuga Hina three years later. Tian things.
Considering that Uchiha Shisui probably had the same eyes as Uchiha Madara and could easily control the tailed beast to recreate the Nine-Tailed Night, Onoki made a prompt decision and relied on the intelligence provided by the mercenaries to send Iwa Ninja who was younger than Ten Thousand to attack the former. Chase and intercept.
But it turned out that Uchiha Shisui was so young at such a young age that he was so strong -
he used the Sharingan eye technique to control the four-tailed Jinchuuriki, causing the death and injury of three or four thousand Iwa-nin. The most unbearable thing is that he escaped in the end!
For Iwa Ninja, how humiliating is this result? !
Even the Iwa Ninja, who had the largest number of ninjas, could not afford such a huge loss.
Although the Iwa ninjas wanted to seek justice, they lost one-sixth of their manpower and a tailed beast, so they naturally did not have the confidence to challenge Itakoha, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them.
But at this time, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki told them that the Kumo ninja, who had a grudge against the Iwa ninja, planned to get involved. If the two villages unite to attack Konoha's sending people to control the jinchuriki, they will definitely be able to get a piece of fat.
It was doubtful that Kumo Ninja was willing to help, but taking advantage of others' misfortune was their usual style. Moreover, it is true that the Kumo Ninja Village deeply hates the Iwa Ninja Village because of what happened to the Third Raikage; but on the other hand, the Iwa Ninja Village's attitude towards the Kumo Ninja is no different from their attitude towards Konoha. After what happened to Uchiha Shisui, Konoha became the first one on the list of enemies.
Driven by anger and hatred, the top leaders of the Iwa Ninja did not hesitate and immediately agreed to this joint operation: as long as it can make up for some losses, it is better than anything else.
In order to show the uncompromising attitude of Iwa Ninja, all members of this mission had at least one relative who died at the hands of Uchiha Shisui.
Especially the leader, Ashito Jōnin. Two of his three sons were slashed into the mountain by the green Susanoo; the youngest son was still in school, but because he couldn't accept it, he had become crazy...
But even so, Onoki still asked for dust. Put the mission first.
Before leaving, the Third Tsuchikage said: "In order to prevent Konoha from being monolithic, instead of pointing your guns at the Hokage and the senior officials this time, it is better to go directly to the Uchiha clan to ask for people. The senior officials of Konoha are facing two villages. The pressure exerted together will definitely find a scapegoat to divert attention. This was the case with the White Fang of Konoha back then, and it was also the case with the Hyuga clan. Now in Uchiha, there will be no exception...
"Only by dividing them and increasing their internal differences can we Let us get the maximum benefit. "
And this is why Huitu came to Uchiha Fugaku as soon as he came up.
However, in order to cover up the real losses of Iwa Ninja, he still downplayed the losses caused by Uchiha Shisui, so as to prevent the weak Iwa Ninja Village from being destroyed by the cloud. Shinobi was worried about him and stabbed him in the back.
Unfortunately, Huitu, who had not fought against the Uchiha forces in three ninja wars, did not know these people well enough.
"Zhiha Uchiha, who killed hundreds of our Iwa ninjas. Shui must be killed today! "
When he yelled this sentence with extremely real emotions, Huitu wanted to see panic on Uchiha Fugaku's face.
But he didn't expect that when almost all the other Konoha jounin showed horrified expressions, only this one The somewhat fat Uchiha clan leader was actually unmoved at all.
The dozen or so security team members who were maintaining order disappeared one after another, used the teleportation technique to come behind Uchiha Fugaku, and opened a pair of cold-blooded weapons fiercely. Scarlet eyes like those of human predators.
The murderous intent of those Iwa ninjas directed at Uchiha Fugaku was multiplied several times and sent back.
"Be careful! "
Huitu gave an order, and all the members of the mission, including Yun Ren, took out their weapons and lowered their heads, staring at the torso of the security team members instead of their faces.
The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Including The civilians who were still digesting Huitu's words stood nervously and did not dare to move.
"With such courage, do you dare to challenge us Uchiha? "
The first person to speak was not Fugaku, who had a heroic expression on his face, but Uchiha Tekka, who was his deputy.
He took a step forward past Fugaku, and the envoys of Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja also took a step back simultaneously.
This made Uchiha Tiehuo looked at them with an even more contemptuous expression.
"It's like being slaughtered by one person for hundreds of people. I just keep it secret to myself and chew it in my heart. But he came to the door like a child complaining." Come?
"Do you think that we are the Kazekage who will hand over Shisui like that female ninja named Hayakura to let you relieve your anger? Or do you think that if we bring this group of mentally retarded fools with strong limbs from the north, we will be like Six years ago..."
"That's enough."
Before Uchiha Tiehuo could finish speaking, Uchiha Fugaku stopped him.
Although I have always disliked what the Hyuga clan did back then, there is no need to tell this old incident in front of outsiders.
Uchiha Tiehuo was not annoyed at being interrupted. He smiled maliciously at Huitu and returned behind Fugaku.
Fugaku spoke.
"I don't know why Shisui did this, or even whether he did this..."
"What do you mean?!" Maybe it's because Uchiha Fugaku is the only one who doesn't have his Sharingan open, and the others don't. So afraid of him, he immediately asked: "Do you think we are talking nonsense?"
"Lies are just commonplace for ninjas. We all know this."
Fugaku said slowly and naturally: "Furthermore, So what if this thing is true?" As soon as
these words came out, the messengers from these two villages truly realized what kind of people the Uchiha were.
Uchiha Fugaku's emotionless eyes scanned the faces of these people one by one.
"This is the cruel world of ninjas. Since you are losers, what right do you have to shout? You should understand this from the day you get your forehead protector.
"Also, I will put my words here today..."
Uchiha Fugaku turned around. Obviously, these words were not addressed to the envoys of the two countries, but to the jounin and senior officials of Konoha.
"Uchiha is a clan that thrives when it prospers and suffers when it loses. Threatening one Uchiha is threatening all Uchiha. There is no essential difference. I don't know whether Shisui did this or why he did it. ...But as long as he doesn't betray the clan, we will never betray him!"
Hinata Hizashi, one of the row of ninja clan chiefs, looked obviously sad, while on the surrounding roofs, the Hyuga Ninja who was responsible for monitoring the entire mission was They were all touched.
"According to what you say..."
Huitu said through gritted teeth, "Does Konoha want to start a war with us?"
There was a boom.
It was as if a thunderbolt hit everyone's mind.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly exploded.
"You want war?"
But one of Uchiha Fugaku's voices was louder than all of them.
When he turned around, a frightening red light burst out from his eyes, and three black magatama slowly rotated.
"A junior of Uchiha, he just killed a few hundred of you, so he lost his temper and came to make trouble in front of his house..."
He paused, his voice was slow and full of oppression, "If you want war, then you Iwa ninja have already Are you prepared for thousands more deaths, tens of thousands more, or even extinction?!"
Invisible pressure spread out with Uchiha Fugaku's sight.
Every one of the people directly in front of him felt as if a cold spider was crawling across their backs, and their throats became much tighter.
There is only one thought in everyone's mind at the moment -
the person in front of them definitely has the ability to kill them all in an instant.
"One Iwa ninja is not enough..."
Cold sweat dripped from the representative of the Kingdom of Thunder, and his eyes turned to Mito Kaden who was at a loss: "What about our Cloud Ninja Village? You Konoha are ready to face it at the same time. Are the two countries prepared?"
Mito Kadoyan, who had been a dummy for a long time, finally came to his senses and quickly explained loudly: "Don't misinterpret our meaning! Just Uchiha cannot represent the entire Konoha..." "
Then At least give us an explanation first."
Representative Yun Ninja walked to Huitu and stood side by side with him. "When the two countries are not at war, sending ninjas to other people's homes to rampage and kill is not a declaration of war. What do you mean? You can send Uchiha Shisui to the Kingdom of Earth today, but can't you send him to our Kingdom of Thunder to cause trouble tomorrow? Or is this just the Third Hokage's strategy to weaken us..." "
This is definitely not the case. Hokage's order!"
Mito Kadoren nervously adjusted his glasses that had slipped due to sweat, turned around and asked: "Chief Fugaku, what is going on? Why did Uchiha Shisui do this?"
Once other countries If they think this behavior is Konoha's strategy and everyone is in danger, Konoha will really become the enemy of the whole world.
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "There is no need to explain something that is not even clear about the cause and effect. It is difficult to say whether it is true or false..." "
We have evidence!"
Huitu retorted loudly: "But are you sure you want to watch it here? ?"
Uchiha Fugaku stared at him deeply, and then said to Mito Kadoyan: "I only know that Shisui went to the Kingdom of Water this time to perform a root mission. Everyone knows this child Shisui. , he is definitely not the kind of character who kills hundreds of people at every turn."
"You mean..."
Mito Kadoen was startled: "Danzo?!"
[Could it be him...]
But then he thought I thought that even Danzo would not dare to do anything that might cause a war without telling Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Go find it."
Mito Kadoren waved his finger and pointed at an ANBU under his command, "Tell him to explain clearly what kind of mission he gave Uchiha Shisui!" "
Yes."
The ANBU took the order and left.
The Jonin present were extremely disappointed with Mito Kaden's timid performance. On the contrary, Shimura Danzo, the one with the most sinister style and toughest attitude, might still have some hope now.
Before Danzo, the insider, arrived, everyone froze in front of the gate of Konoha.
Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes and disdained to talk to these losers who came to complain; the envoys of the two countries were troubled by Fugaku's attitude, and they were each struggling with what to do next to achieve the goal of eating a piece of fat.
But what they didn't know was that the mission's visit to ask for an explanation was just a superficial move. The shadows of the two countries had already reached an agreement with Shimura Danzo... At
this time, about sixty jonins of the two countries were in the woods. On the outskirts of Ye's Death Forest, waiting for the signal from the Root Ninja.
In the crowd, Sasuke, who didn't know what was going on, was completely confused.
Giyuu, who felt uncomfortable even fighting with his peers, went to Yunin Village and beheaded dozens or hundreds of people.
Brother Shisui, who has the nicest and gentlest personality in the clan, went on a killing spree in the Iwa Ninja Village and almost started a war.
[Why, they are all doing things that are not like what they would do at all! ]
At this moment, he noticed his father, who had his Sharingan open, tilting towards him.
Fugaku didn't open his mouth, but a line of subtitles appeared in Sasuke's field of vision out of thin air.
"Don't wander around after the ceremony. After you go home with your mother, stay with the clan."
Obviously, Uchiha Fugaku had also expected it. I am afraid that today's matter will not end so simply.
Sasuke clenched his fists and nodded heavily, as if there was a whale churning in his stomach.
About ten minutes later, the ANBU directly under Mito Gate came back.
"Danzo-sama said that this matter is very complicated and not suitable for public discussion in this kind of place."
The ANBU reported: "He has made preparations and hopes that the leaders and deputies of the envoys of the two countries and the leaders of the major ninja clans will The clan leader, as well as the Jonin representatives from the village, went to the Hokage Building for a detailed discussion. As for the members of the delegation, please go to the embassy to rest beforehand." Upon
hearing this, the envoys from the two countries immediately got into a fuss.
"Why?"
"Just four of you, who knows what you will do!"
The emissary representatives of Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja sat back and watched their men noisy and had no intention of taking risks alone.
"Danzo-sama said that the matter may involve the secrets of various countries. If you are unwilling to compromise, then please go back home."
The Anbu said lightly, causing the two envoys to shut up immediately.
Then he looked at the representatives of Hui Tu and Kumo Ninja: "He asked me to tell you that Konoha is a village that upholds the concept of peace, and will definitely abide by diplomatic etiquette and will never harm you. Regarding Uchiha Shisui, He will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"In that case." Huitu snorted coldly, "Then let's talk about it there."
After saying this, he led his deputies past the Jonin of Konoha, and stood in front of no one. With the guidance, he took the lead along Ichiraku Avenue and walked towards the Hokage Building. The representatives and deputies of the Kumo ninja followed leisurely.
"Come a few people and take the envoys to the embassy to rest."
Mito Kadoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when Danzo was willing to take over the stall. He looked at the jounin and clan leaders of Konoha, "Let's go too."
At this time, the ANBU said again: "Danzo-sama said that there is no need to go to the Hyuga Hizu clan leader."
Hinata Hizu was not surprised.
Last night, Danzo said that he had sent someone to deliver a message, "Even if three Hyūnin are keeping an eye on one, we must keep a close eye on these people." In the coming time, he will be responsible for monitoring the missions of the two countries.
Although it is somewhat overkill, allowing the Hyuga clan to perform such a task can be regarded as a way to show their attitude.
Mito Kadenen glanced at Uchiha Fugaku worriedly, and rushed to the Hokage Building with a large number of people.
Fugaku stood there until everyone else was gone, then he and Uchiha Tiehuo settled down and said: "After you evacuate the residents, immediately call all the security team members back to the clan." "
Just like three years ago? "
Uchiha Iron Fire refers to the "Iron Curtain" period between Konoha and Uchiha after Yan Huo disappeared.
"I always feel that things will be very troublesome next time."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed tiredly without anyone else, "If I don't come back before 12 o'clock tonight, you know what to do."
"Is it that serious?"
Uchiha Fugaku Bo Meiqin held her husband's wrist worriedly.
"What Shisui did is indeed not like the tasks that the Third Generation would assign to him."
Fugaku shook his head, "Now facing the threat of war between two countries, a large part of the responsibility will eventually be thrown on Uchiha."
He glanced at the civilians who were already panicking because they thought a war was coming, and many of them were already glaring at the guards.
As Mito Kadoyan said, Uchiha are not afraid of war, but they do not represent the entire Konoha.
"It's a pity that the relationship between the clan and the outside world has finally improved. But once we become the culprits of the war because of this incident, we will immediately become the target of public criticism. If this kind of thing really happens, the matter will reach its most serious moment... ..."
Fugaku's voice was fierce, as if he had returned to three years ago, and he said decisively: "We must not sit still and wait for death!"
"Understood." Tiehuo nodded and called the other security members to leave immediately.
A trace of fear for the future flashed in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes: "Fugaku, you..."
"Take care of the children, I have to go."
Fugaku reached out and pressed his wife's shoulder, "Do you know where Itachi went? ?"
Mikoto said uncertainly: "Maybe he was feeding those crows at Shisui's house..." "
Find him." Fugaku let go of his hand and arranged in a heavy tone: "Take Sasuke with you and stay with the tribe. Separate."
After saying this, Uchiha Fugaku turned and left, heading to the Hokage Building alone.
A rally to welcome "peace" ended like this, and everyone headed home uneasy.
Sasuke stood in the crowd and noticed sensitively that the look many people looked at him became similar to the look they looked at the kid who stole things in the class before, as if he had made something wrong.
At this moment, he felt a cold loneliness like never before.
"Ignore those guys."
Naruto was very familiar with that look, and punched Sasuke's vest lightly, "Don't worry too much. Even if no one plays with you in school in the future, I won't abandon you. "
I want you to talk nonsense!"
Sasuke replied with half gratitude and half annoyance. He noticed his mother walking in the direction of him and immediately understood that it was impossible to train with Naruto today.
"I heard about Giyu at noon today at Ichiraku Ramen."
Sasuke seized the moment and said quickly: "If I can come out tomorrow, I will tell you in detail."
After saying this, Mikoto walked over to his door. Next to him, he said hello to Naruto and Hinata and left with Sasuke.
Seeing Naruto staring intently at Sasuke's back, his brows frowning more and more, Hinata stammered: "It will be fine..." "
But I always feel panicked, like something big is going on. The same thing happened."
Naruto touched his belly. He hadn't felt like this for a long time since Anjuro came to Konoha.
Little did he know, it was just the Kyuubi in his stomach that was regretting why as soon as he returned to land, he had canceled the clone he had left with Giyuu, and now he didn't even have the means to notify him.
"What if something really happened to that brat's family..."
Thinking of the scene when Giyuu and Orochimaru were fighting, and the other's sudden change of emotions when he saw the Sharingan deep in the experimental base, Kyuubi felt flustered for no reason. .
He was afraid that when Giyuu was angered, he would fight in Konoha, even forgetting the existence of Uzumaki Naruto, and the aftermath of a casual slash could kill the brat...
on the other side.
Without saying a word, Uchiha Mikoto took Sasuke to Shisui's residence, wanting to see if Itachi was there.
Because Shisui's relationship with his tribe has always been delicate, and he raised many noisy crows, his residence was at the outermost edge of the tribe's territory. Except for Itachi and Giyuu, no one usually comes here.
But when Uchiha Mikoto opened the courtyard door, she was surprised to find that it was not Itachi waiting inside, but four masked ninjas.
"Anbu?"
Through the mask, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't see the sight of these people, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so she immediately protected Sasuke behind her.
"It's the root."
After the root ninja corrected him, he said straight to the point: "Uchiha Mikoto, Danzo-sama wants to see you. Come with us." "
Now?"
Hearing the word "root", Uchiha Mikoto paused. The vigilance in my heart was raised to a higher level.
"As for Danzo, shouldn't he be meeting with the delegation at the Hokage Building now?"
Without answering Uchiha Mikoto's question, the root ninja just expected it and reached out to pick up a ninja sword from the stone table and pointed it at her Lit with Sasuke.
"That's my brother's ninja sword!"
Sasuke was very familiar with Itachi's weapon, and his eyes immediately became ferocious, "Why is Itachi's weapon in your hands?"
Uchiha Mikoto's face was pale, as if he was being attacked by an invisible weapon. His hands squeezed his heart tightly. She felt dizzy, and the edges of her vision seemed to be covered with a thin layer of black mist.
"Itachi Uchiha is under investigation at the root."
The ninja put the ninja sword back, "As a mother, you must want to see his current situation."
"You guys," thinking of all the rumors about the root, Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan suddenly opened, and she asked in a cold voice: "What did you do to Itachi?"
The root ninja waved his hand, "Please calm down. Even if we tell the truth and say nothing was done to him, you You won't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes, right?"
Uchiha Mikoto frowned, "Then I'll send Sasuke home first..." "
Sorry, time is urgent, and the envoys from both countries are waiting for an explanation. You Either. Come with us now..."
The root ninja refused without thinking, "Or, we can only take you away by force."
He raised his palms, and four more masked ninjas appeared in Uchiha Behind Mikoto.
