"Why...?!!"
All the Amazon women were startled.
"Is this a... man?!"
"... the first time I've seen..."
Many women looked at Kai and this group of men as if they were rare animals. Here, men were legendary creatures.
"..."
Many men in the Uchiha clan, including Kai, were speechless. What was so strange about men?
Kikyo's expression changed dramatically. "There are actually men here, and so many of them! This is a disaster! Prepare to attack!!"
All the women raised their bows and arrows, aiming them at men like Kai. Although they were very curious, they were all warriors protecting their country. According to the rumors of Amazon Lily, men were inherently greedy creatures. There must be some ulterior motives behind their presence.
Kai immediately raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
"I said we just entered this place by mistake and don't want to cause any conflict with you."
Kikyo scolded, "I don't believe your sophistry! This is Amazon Lily, the female empire! 'Men are not allowed to enter' has been a rule of this country for hundreds of years! There has never been an exception in history!"
Kai scratched his head helplessly upon hearing this.
He had already hidden in the pirate world, but he didn't expect that he would still have to fight.
"Really, I obviously don't like conflict."
"Fire the arrow————!!"
Kikyo gave the order to attack, and a dense barrage of arrows shot toward Kai and the others.
"Earth Style·Earth Wall!!!"
The ninjas of the Uchiha clan in the crowd had already formed seals. Before the opponents could release their bows and arrows, earthen walls had surrounded the Uchiha clan.
Boom boom boom!
The arrows fired by the warriors of the Daughter Kingdom struck the earthen wall, creating small craters but failing to breach its defense.
"What's this?!"
The Amazon female warriors were shocked. Why were there earthen walls protecting these outsiders? Could these men use sorcery?
Whoosh!
Many people rushed out from above the earthen wall.
"Fire the arrow!!"
Everyone in the Daughter Kingdom quickly released their arrows, but all of them were dodged, and in the blink of an eye, the Uchiha clan members had closed the distance.
"Damn! These guys are intruders! Kill them all!"
Kikyo's face turned pale. Warriors with such speed and skill had to be experienced fighters. Could it be that the World Government had invaded?
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Kikyo.
"You'd better stay still."
At the same time, a cold blade pressed against her neck, causing her skin to shudder.
Kikyo's expression changed drastically. "When?!"
She hadn't seen the opponent's movements clearly at all. Looking around, she saw that most of the soldiers who had come here were restrained. Even Grandma Ze was not spared; Shisui's knife was silently poised on Grandma Ze's shoulder.
Grandma Ze's expression also shifted dramatically. These intruders were far too strong, especially the young man who had spoken. She sensed that he could eliminate them all in an instant.
Grandma Ze asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
Although she had been on Nine Snake Island for years, she had kept an eye on significant events in the world. She had never heard of such a group of masters.
Especially since many of them had red eyes, which looked quite sinister.
Kai displayed a harmless smile and said, "Don't worry, we are the Uchiha clan. Just think of us as a secret family. We mean no ill will in coming here. We accidentally arrived during our migration. Now we find ourselves in a state of distress. You know this is the Calm Belt. If you want your family to leave here safely, we need some assistance."
Grandma Ze contemplated for a moment and replied, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I can only decide when Lady Snake returns."
"Okay, then let's wait until she comes back to negotiate."
Kai sheathed his knife, and the others also put away their weapons and stepped back. The soldiers of the Daughter Kingdom were taken aback; they hadn't expected the intruders to let them go so easily.
"Although it's a bit unsettling, my clan is tired from the long journey, and we hope to find a place to eat and rest," Kai said, producing a gold bar and handing it to Grandma Ze.
Grandma Ze accepted the gold bars and said, "Alright, let's invite all the guests into the city."
Kai led his people back to join the rest of the clan members.
Kikyo hurriedly interjected, "Wait a minute, Mother! How can you let these outsiders in, especially with so many men...?"
Cold sweat broke out on Grandma Ze's forehead as she responded solemnly, "What else can we do? Let these people roam freely on the island? Didn't you see their expressions when they sheathed their weapons?"
"That was an expression that showed they don't take us seriously at all. In other words, they have absolute confidence in their ability to kill us if they choose."
Kikyo felt a chill. Indeed, the other party had shown no fear from the beginning to the end, even with the elderly and children among them; they exuded a sense of unshakeable confidence. "But that can't be..."
Seeing that the other party was about to return, Grandma Ze interrupted Kikyo firmly. "You think he was just asking? No, he was giving us a notice. This is no longer something we can decide. Let's count the days; Lady Snake and the others will be back in a few days, and it is our task to stabilize the situation before they return."
