Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!
In the dark cave, a heartbreaking cough suddenly sounded.
Hayama Shirakumo struggled to open his eyelids, feeling as if his chest was being pressed by a huge boulder. He couldn't breathe, but it hurt and itched, and he couldn't help but cough.
Suddenly, a figure in the darkness stepped forward and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
"Swallow slowly." Homon Hyuga's voice came from the side.
After the medicine took effect, Hayama Shirakumo felt better. He panted and looked at the cave.
There was only a faint light from a candle in the cave. Homon Hyuga still had wet blood on his face, and opposite him was Shisui Uchiha who looked miserable.
"I was the one holding back..." Hayama Shirakumo was full of guilt.
If he hadn't been too weak and was knocked unconscious by the enemy as soon as the battle started, leaving the two teammates in a tough fight, they wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable situation.
"The enemy is too strong." Shisui Uchiha on the opposite side leaned against the stone wall and slowly raised his head.
With the help of the weak candlelight, Hayama Shirakumo discovered that on Shisui Uchiha's face, the socket of his left eye was sunken, as if even the light was trapped in it.
"Shisui! You?!" Hayama Shirakumo's voice was stuck in his throat.
Shisui Uchiha did not deliberately hide the loss of his left eye, but used his remaining eye to scan the two companions.
He said to the two of them, "Hoshigakure's enemies are no longer something ordinary ninjas can deal with. If we want to eradicate Hoshigakure, we must launch a war."
However, now Hidden Leaf Village is no longer able to support another war.
"Moreover, the other party has the blood of our Uchiha Clan who is living outside. If it is not handled well, it may make the village suspicious of the Uchiha Clan."
Listening to Shisui's explanation, Hayama Shirakumo and Homon Hyuga thought of the terrifying black-haired girl one after another.
Hayama Shirakumo was knocked unconscious, so he did not see the subsequent battle.
But Homon Hyuga clearly saw the two giants fighting in the forest!
That kind of god-like power still frightened him to this day.
"So, I hope that this mission will be fully reported to Lord Hokage by me. I hope you will keep the content of the mission confidential from others within a certain range."
When he said the last sentence, Shisui Uchiha looked at Homon Hyuga.
This sentence is mainly meant for Homon Hyuga.
Shisui knows that with Hayama Shirakumo's character, he will not disclose the details of the mission to anyone else except reporting to Lord Hokage.
And Homon Hyuga is a member of the Hyuga Branch Family, which includes not only the parents of the Hyuga Branch Family, but also the head of the family of Hyuga Main House.
Therefore, Shisui did not impose anything and took great care of Homon Hyuga's identity and emotions.
After a short silence, Homon Hyuga nodded.
Hayama Shirakumo grabbed his confused head and said, "You are the captain, I listen to you."
"Thank you for your understanding." Shisui bowed his head slightly and thanked.
Next, the three of them took turns keeping vigil and resting.
Shisui couldn't sleep with a lot of doubts and worries about what the village's senior officials would think of the Uchiha Clan after the incident was reported back to the village.
Hoshigakure.
This small village located deep in the mountains is currently undergoing relocation.
Gato directed his caravan and the villagers of Ninja Village to load various daily necessities onto the carriage, and then, escorted by Hoshinin, headed to the capital of Land of Bears in batches.
They will build a new ninja village on the outskirts of the capital, near the forests and the eastern suburbs of the mountains.
"The name Hoshigakure will also become history." Yahoshi stood at the gate of Hoshigakure, watching the villagers moving happily, looking at Hoshigakure surrounded by green trees and rushing forests, and let out a sigh.
In the future, this place will be used as a military stronghold to station military forces in the western region.
And most of the residents and ninjas of Hoshigakure started a new life.
Yahoshi is very worried about what the future will bring.
But looking at the eyes of these villagers and Hoshinins, they are full of longing for the future.
There was a sudden commotion in the distance. Kakuzu was carrying two Sunagakure prisoners through the crowd, and Anbu Ninja's chains were dragging on the ground, making a harsh sound.
"Hey, uncle Kakuzu, where did you catch this from?" Gato, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, joked.
Kakuzu snorted softly, "It's just two sneaking minions."
Then they arranged for Anbu Ninja to send the two Sunagakure ninjas into custody, waiting for instructions from Master "Asura".
"Master Wuming is back!"
The figures of Uchiha Hikari and Uzumaki Fuka escorting the prisoners Iwagakure caused even greater commotion.
"Master Wuming! Master Vanilla!" When other Hoshinin saw these two people, they all bowed and saluted.
Kakuzu couldn't help but look at the three Iwagakure ninjas who were tied up by Adamantine Sealing Chains. Especially when he saw Explosion Release ninja hunting, his blue pupils shimmered, revealing a greedy look.
He said to Uchiha Hikari, "This guy is pretty good, give it to me."
The ninjas that can be favored by Kakuzu are either jonins with extraordinary strength who can be used to steal the heart; or they are ninjas with a bounty on Underground Black Market.
"Don't take advantage of these three guys." Uchiha Hikari glanced at Kakuzu coldly. "Lock them all up, they will be useful in the future."
Kakuzu made a sound and signaled to the several Anbu behind him.
Only then did these Anbu put the specially made prison gear on Iwagakure, and then took him to the prison to be imprisoned.
"I just met three Konoha ninjas and they were beaten away." Uzumaki Fuka, who had relieved Adamantine Sealing Chains, talked about the battle just now.
Yahoshi watched another Sunagakure ninja being captured, another Iwagakure ninja was tied up, and now he heard that three Konoha ninjas were beaten away, and he sighed with complicated emotions.
Swish--
Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the forest.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by a figure.
Uchiha Hikari raised the corner of his mouth slightly on his cold face, and walked forward with the "gift" in his hand.
"We're here, your two companions should have been sent here too." Menma was saying something behind him.
Behind Menma, I saw a hot female ninja with a staggering figure, Sunagakure Forehead Protector hanging crookedly on her blood-stained costume.
When he saw this female ninja, Uchiha Hikari's pupils shrank suddenly, and the "gift" hidden in his hand almost burst.
"Sir, who is she?" Uzumaki Fuka also looked at this female ninja with Sunagakure Forehead Protector, birch and green hair color, and a pair of long legs.
"Pakura, Sunagakure jonin, are my prisoners now." Menma said to Kakuzu, "Arrange a cell for her. She doesn't need to take special care of her. Just come as normal."
"Yes, sir." Kakuzu hummed twice. He had long recognized Scorch Release Pakura.
As the hero of Sunagakure in Third Shinobi World War, Kirigakure offered her a lot of silver rewards in Underground Black Market.
Pakura, who had just experienced a fierce battle, was put on anklets and handcuffs by Hoshigakure Anbu Ninja, who was somewhat weak, and was taken to prison.
Menma was about to enter the village to ask his subordinates how many ninjas from other countries had been captured, but Uchiha Hikari tugged at his clothes.
"What's wrong?" Menma turned around and saw Uchiha Hikari's right hand slowly raised.
"I brought you a gift." The girl opened her slender fingers.
In the palm of the hand, a bloody Three-Tomoe Sharingan seemed to be staring at Menma.
