The man's kick wasn't very powerful.
He seemed to understand that he couldn't let anyone die, otherwise the Uchiha would have an excuse to deal with them.
However, the thought of the tragic death of the Clan Leader still filled him with rage.
Killing him won't do, but kicking the kid will do, right? At worst, we can cover it up later by saying we were guarding against a sneak attack.
Being responsible for receiving guests at the city gate was, at best, just the child of one of the guards.
The Shimura Clan is not a small fry that can be messed with.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly young kid was surprisingly agile.
Faced with the man's sudden kick, Yuto's body reacted instantly.
He ducked low, rolled on the ground, and managed to dodge the Chunin's attack.
Unfortunately, the little guy wasn't paying attention to his surroundings and accidentally rolled into a puddle by the roadside.
When he stood up, the wool shirt his mother had knitted was covered in a lot of sewage and mud.
Reaching out her little hand, Yuto tugged at her mud-covered collar, then looked up and angrily demanded, "Hey, why did you kick me?"
"He actually dodged it." Shimura Takehiko wasn't stupid; he could tell from the other person's performance that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary kid.
If even a four- or five-year-old child could dodge his kick, the Uchiha would have unified the Shinobi World long ago.
Seeing that the other party refused to speak for a long time, Yuto. She wanted to fight but was afraid that she couldn't beat him.
After thinking for a moment, he could only reluctantly take the pendant off his neck and throw it forcefully to the ground.
This is the strongest Ninjutsu that Uchiha Yuto has mastered...
Summoning the Old Father.
The pendant shattered, and the mercury-like liquid flowed, automatically carving a Space Barrier on the ground.
In a mere second, Kyosuke appeared from the teleportation array.
Kyosuke was slightly taken aback when he saw that this was actually the main gate of the village. He had thought he was about to run into his beloved Black Zetsu.
Now it seems that things are not quite as I thought.
"Dad..." Yuto lowered her head, her little hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, tears falling to the ground and breaking in two.
He wasn't trying to be mischievous; although he was playing, the little guy did find joy in helping others.
But he didn't understand why the adult would attack him when he had only accidentally bumped into the carriage and hadn't hit anyone.
The grievances in his heart caused him to burst into tears, and his dirty clothes made him look even more pitiful.
"My lord!" Realizing something was wrong, Maya quickly knelt down on one knee before him. "Please forgive my negligence, which allowed the thieves to take advantage of the situation."
"Please forgive us, sir!!!" A large group of Uchiha Ninja all knelt down.
For a moment, the village gate was quiet, with only the sound of Little Yuto's sobs echoing through the air.
"He... he is Uchiha Kyosuke's child." Shimura Takehiko even contemplated suicide at that moment.
Before they set off, the newly appointed Clan Leader repeatedly warned them not to clash with the God of Shinobi.
Even if one wants revenge, one must wait for the right opportunity.
If you have the courage to endure hardship and bide your time, why worry about not getting revenge?
Unexpectedly, before he even stepped into the village gate, he kicked someone's son.
Isn't this just deliberately coming to cause trouble?!
"Mr. Kyosuke." Shimura Takehiko opened his mouth, his gaze constantly turning back, pleading with the Clan Leader to appear and make decisions for him.
Unfortunately, the Clan Leader's carriage curtain remained unmoved, clearly indicating that he should deal with the trouble he had caused.
We can't risk the fate of our entire Family for the sake of one subordinate.
"I, I..." Shimura Takehiko's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Kyosuke's gaze never fell on him, but the pressure he felt was growing stronger.
And those Uchiha clans kneeling on the ground, each exuding murderous intent, most of them were there for him.
If not handled properly, not only could his own life be in danger, but the entire Shimura Clan could also suffer.
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared on the outer wall of the village.
The visitor was none other than Tobirama Senju.
Sarutobi and Shimura were both people he invited to join, and as the person in charge, Tobirama naturally had to personally come out to greet them.
However, what he saw off the field made him stop in his tracks.
"These idiots!" Tobirama so angry he wanted to curse.
Why did you have to provoke that scoundrel?
They were just looking for an excuse to deal with you, and now look what's happened—they've delivered themselves right to your doorstep.
Openly attacking the child of the God of Shinobi is nothing short of a direct challenge to the village.
If we really want to escalate this to a higher level, we could simply start a war with both races immediately.
At that point, the helpers he painstakingly found will be useless.
He wanted to step in and stop it, but Tobirama knew that Kyosuke wouldn't give him any face.
"May you have good luck," he could only pray silently.
On the other side, Shimura Takehiko seemed to have made up his mind. He took out Kunai from his ninja tool pouch and plunged it into his thigh with a soft "plop".
Seeing that Uchiha remained unmoved, he could only smile bitterly, circulate his Chakra, and dislocate the leg he had kicked out on the spot.
The gushing blood made Little Yuto forget to cry.
Seeing this, Kyosuke finally turned around and personally helped Maya up from the ground.
He did not blame his subordinates; the reason he made them kneel temporarily was to express his stance to both families.
My men are all kneeling; you've brought this trouble upon yourselves, so you'd better deal with it yourselves.
If I'm not satisfied, I'll leave them all here today.
Having just completed a certain exchange and with his Points depleted again, Kyosuke doesn't mind wiping out both races.
After comforting the group of remorseful clansmen, Kyosuke turned around and approached Little Yuto.
His right eye transformed into Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and with the activation of his Dojutsu, the mud on his son's body instantly returned to the ground.
"Huh?" Little Yuto blinked, looking up at his father in surprise.
"Come on, let's go home. Mom is worried about you." She picked up the little guy and disappeared through the door without looking back.
Only then did the tense atmosphere at the scene finally ease.
"That's great." A ninja from the Shimura Clan sighed softly.
Once upon a time, they were a prestigious family in the Land of Fire, but now they've been reduced to living at the mercy of others.
It's really sad to think about it.
Fortunately, Tobirama Senju appeared in time, which dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts.
As for Shimura Takehiko, whose leg was broken and bleeding profusely, everyone knew that he wouldn't live much longer.
Perhaps one day in the future, we will see him "hanging himself" in his room.
This will completely eliminate the resentment in the hearts of the Uchiha.
They initially thought this trip was to join Senju with the Senju to impose sanctions on the Uchiha.
Unexpectedly, they gave me a hard time before I even entered the door.
What kind of mess is this?
