"Hey, bandage man, listen to me, guess what I just saw?"
Squeak!
The wooden door slowly opened, and a slightly funny man with a mustache crept into the room. His eyes looked around the room, and finally fell on the figure on the bed.
The rooms were uniformly arranged by the person in charge here for the deceased Ninja World. The interior layout was basically the same. There was nothing else except a bed and a bedside table. It was a simple single dormitory.
The man in the dormitory was covered in bandages and was leaning on the bedside, writing and drawing with a notebook in his hand.
When he saw the bearded man coming in, the man immediately closed his notebook and quickly stood up from the bed, assuming a defensive posture.
"Mustache, why did you come to me suddenly? You don't have any bad intentions, do you?"
His words were unceremonious and full of vigilance.
He didn't have the slightest good impression of the man opposite who suddenly came to look for him.
Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu!
During his lifetime, he was in the battle of Hozuki Gengetsu, where his skin was completely destroyed and he had to be wrapped in bandages.
Later, he fought to the death in the Ninja World battle, and eventually he was seriously injured and died.
Fortunately, he successfully killed the other party at that time and eliminated the serious trouble in his heart.
He would not be at ease with this man who had been entangled with him for most of his life!
It's a pity that he is just Lost Souls now. He has lost the power he had during his lifetime, and even the perception ability he was once proud of has disappeared.
He didn't notice this person's arrival until he pushed the door open.
"Hey, bandage man, you miss me so much, you really look down on me!"
Hozuki Gengetsu Hearing this, veins appeared on his forehead and he was furious.
He stared at the bandaged man in front of him, his voice was furious and revealed a hint of murderous intent.
Second Tsuchikage, None!
Fortunately, I have been fighting with the other party for most of my life, and I still regard the other party as my opponent. I plan to tell the other party what I just saw. I didn't expect that he would look down on me so much!
"Believe it or not, I will kill you again, right here!"
"The master here has explicitly prohibited fighting. If you take the initiative to violate it, I don't mind informing the patrolling soldiers outside."
As soon as Wu's words came out, Hozuki Gengetsu immediately became mute, and the fighting spirit that had just risen was extinguished.
He waved his broad-sleeved robe, a trace of ugliness appeared on his slightly funny face, and his tone was indignant.
"How dare you say that? I think you can do such a little trick."
Wu ignored the other party's complaints, put away his posture, relaxed a little, and asked bluntly, "If you don't stay in your room, come to me and you won't be afraid of being discovered by the patrolling soldiers outside."
"Those people only ask us to abide by the rules here, but they don't prohibit us from visiting, right?"
Hozuki Gengetsu smiled evilly.
It stands to reason that these long-dead Lost Souls suddenly came to a strange place, and it sounded like Netherworld Underworld Land. They should be honest and not mess around.
Most of the Ninja here do the same thing. The palace where they live is quiet at night, with only the sound of soldiers patrolling occasionally ringing out.
But he was naturally restless and courageous, and had too many doubts in his mind, so he took advantage of the loopholes in the rules here.
"Just now, I took advantage of the time when the soldiers were changing shifts and went outside to take a look, hoping to get some information about this place. But guess what I saw?"
"What is it?"
After hearing the information from Hozuki Gengetsu, Wu immediately became interested.
"Second Mizukage, since it is information about this place, don't hide it, share it as soon as possible."
"Ha, now you know that I am Lord Mizukage!" Hozuki Gengetsu revealed a hint of ridicule between his brows.
"Hmph, you are Mizukage, but I am also Tsuchikage."
Wu folded his arms in front of his chest, and the hostile relationship he had in life made him not want to weaken his momentum.
"In terms of status, I'm not much different from you, but in terms of strength, I'm even stronger than you. Don't forget, I killed you in that battle!"
"We are obviously going to die together, so I will kill you too!" Hozuki Gengetsu choked back.
Just as the two were arguing, the door of the house was opened, and another strong figure walked in.
"You two were the shadow of a village after all during your lifetime. Can you be more steady?"
The two stopped arguing and both turned to look.
A tall figure came into view, wearing a cloud ninja outfit, with a darker complexion and [Thunder] engraved on his exposed shoulders.
Although his face is fierce, he still exudes a kind and generous temperament.
The two men immediately recognized the person's identity.
"I remember you are--Third Raikage!"
"Why did you come here?"
Third Raikage, Ai!
Ai closed the door gently and said to Hozuki Gengetsu with a calm expression, "My room is on the side. I just looked outside through the crack in the door and saw you Second Mizukage creeping over. You are not going back to your own room."
"I guessed there must be something wrong, so I followed over secretly and listened for a while from outside."
His eyes glanced between the two of them, fell back on Hozuki Gengetsu, and then asked, "What exactly did you want to say just now?"
"You actually followed me?" Hozuki Gengetsu said angrily, "Damn it, if I hadn't been just Lost Souls now and lost all my power, how else would I have been seen by you!"
Wu said, "In the final analysis, it's because of your incompetence that you didn't notice that you were being followed."
Seeing that the two were arguing again, Third Raikage immediately comforted him and said, "Okay, everyone is in the same situation now. We are all Lost Souls at the moment, and we have also signed a contract with the legendary Shinigami. The only way is to know more information about Yomi."
After saying that, he looked at Hozuki Gengetsu.
Hozuki Gengetsu smiled proudly, "When I was going out just now, I happened to meet three Hokage, walking towards the outside of the palace, and the soldiers did not stop them."
"So I was wondering if we could give it a try."
Third Raikage stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Konoha's story, you should have heard it from the younger generation Ninja in the morning, Uchiha was Clan Massacre--"
"The only surprising thing is that Uchiha Clan actually got the attention of Yomi's big shots after his death, and even took him as his arm."
When they woke up from their slumber, the only people they saw besides those soldiers was Uchiha Clan.
It was through the Uchiha Clan's introduction that they roughly understood their situation.
In the afternoon, when I went to meet those big shots, I remembered clearly that there were two Uchiha strong men among them.
Wu speculated. "Hokage and the others should have gone there to make an explanation for the Uchiha Clan. People in Uchiha are all mentally ill, but they can't be fooled easily."
As he spoke, an arrogant figure appeared in Wu's mind, and his face turned dark instantly.
People like them, and even First Hokage are here, and I think that man will be here too.
Hozuki Gengetsu asked, "So, do you want to accompany me to give it a try?"
"We still know too little information now, and it's always good to know more." Wu pinched his chin, a look of certainty appeared on his face under the bandage, "Shinigami must recruit us because he thinks we are useful, and he will also give us the lenient treatment we deserve."
Ai nodded. "Yes, we have just joined Shinigami. Even if we do something outrageous, the guards here will not punish us much."
"We were just wandering around for a while. The rules here don't prohibit this. It's worth a try."
"More importantly, we can also use this to test out the attitude of the mysterious Shinigami towards us."
The three of them discussed it and implemented their plans. They no longer hesitated and headed outside.
But as soon as they reached the corner, they encountered a group of patrolling soldiers. Before the three of them could make any move, they suddenly heard a deep, hoarse voice behind them.
"You three, I remember that you are the souls that were recovered from Ninja World before."
"What are you doing here if you don't stay inside?"
The three of them were horrified and did not sense the slightest aura of the owner of this voice.
However, they didn't show it on their faces. They forced themselves to remain calm in their hearts and turned around pretending to be normal.
What caught the eyes of the three of them was an extremely tall man.
The man has a strong build and is estimated to be over three meters tall. He is wearing a white suit, a coat similar to those of the soldiers outside, and a peaked cap. His face is shrouded in shadow.
The three of them raised their heads. Even Third Raikage, the tallest of the three, could only reach the man's chest.
When they saw the man, the three of them immediately recognized him. Among the many soldiers they saw after waking up, this man was among them.
It was also this man who arranged the rooms for them Lost Souls.
Now it seems that Guard is also responsible for the security of this palace.
Hozuki Gengetsu pretended to be normal and scratched his head, with a sly smile on his face.
"Haha, we had nothing to do in the room, so we just wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air."
"If that doesn't work, we'll go back to the room immediately."
In the shadow under the brim of the hat, Akainu glanced at the three of them and nodded solemnly.
"Okay."
"But don't make too much noise, and don't leave this palace. The outside is shrouded in a barrier. With your strength, you will be stunned the moment you touch the barrier."
After saying that, Akainu walked towards the patrol unit and selected three soldiers from it.
"You three follow them and don't let them run around."
"Yes, Akainu Fleet Admiral!"
Looking at the three soldiers approaching, Hozuki Gengetsu had a genuine smile on his face.
"I can't thank you enough."
I didn't expect that a guy with such a serious face could be so easy to talk to.
The three of them had already obtained enough information just from the other party's attitude.
It seemed that, as they had expected, Underworld Land was not as harsh on them, Lost Souls, as they first thought.
This is a good sign.
Among Underworld City, the residence of the Uchiha Clan.
The spacious room was brightly lit, and all the Uchiha Clan elites who had time to spare gathered here, kneeling on the tatami, in total darkness.
At the front, there are four figures.
Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui are in the center, and flanking them are Setsuna, and Kahaku who just came from Soul Society after being notified.
A low table was placed in front of the four of them, the tea was well served, and a faint heat was rising.
Uchiha Clan, stand ready.
Opposite the four people, there is also a row of low tables, prepared for the incoming guests.
In front of the low desk, Fugaku frowned, obviously thinking about something.
Setsuna on the side held up the teacup, blew the hot air, took a sip, and asked, "Fugaku, are you worried about the next negotiations with those Hokages?"
As soon as the voice came out, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku nodded first, then shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "The Hokages of the past are here for Third Hokage. Whether we let him go or kill him, there has been an argument within the clan for a long time. Now it's just to see how Hokages will explain."
"Although this matter is important, it makes me feel uneasy. Not only this matter, but also what the marines said to you before."
Fugaku simply repeated to everyone what Sengoku said before.
After listening carefully, Setsuna nodded slightly and said, "Sengoku He He is right, Fugaku your temperament is indeed indecisive, but it is a good thing to have you out of town Pure Land. What are you worried about?"
As soon as Setsuna's voice fell, Kahaku said, "Sengoku can say such things, not just to recommend Fugaku, but maybe they also have the intention of suppressing us."
"Fugaku has a great status in the clan and has a lot of weight in the hearts of the adults. Keep Fugaku away from the adults so that their people can take the lead, take the opportunity to replace Fugaku, and then occupy a position in the hearts of the adults."
"Fortunately, we still have Shisui. Shisui has a very important position in the hearts of adults and cannot be replaced by ordinary people."
Fugaku lowered his eyes, stared at the tea in front of him, and shook his head slightly. "Sengoku What they did - maybe this is just one of them, I always feel that they must have a deeper purpose."
"And the adults' reaction at that time--"
He looked at Shisui on the side and asked, "Shisui, you have been with me the longest, have you ever heard any words?
Shisui drank tea quietly, motionless, as if he was an unrelated person. It wasn't until he heard Fugaku's words that he reacted.
"Sir Fugaku, the actions related to your lord are not something that our subordinates can easily predict. Please be careful when speaking, lord Fugaku."
"Shisui, do you really don't know--or don't you want to say it?"
Fugaku looked solemnly, and there was a different meaning in his voice.
"Don't forget, your surname is Uchiha. Most of you think of it as a member of the clan."
"Knowing your thoughts in advance, we at the Uchiha Clan can respond more calmly and avoid delaying your affairs."
Shisui said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Clan is loyal to your lord. As long as you give your order, we will obey it. What does it matter if we know it in advance?"
Looking at Shisui who looked like this, Fugaku suddenly felt a familiar feeling, and the figure of his eldest son flashed in his mind.
At this moment, Shisui actually looks somewhat similar to Itachi's silent and stubborn appearance.
During his lifetime, he sent his son Uchiha Itachi to Konoha High Command to act as a spy, but Itachi preferred Konoha in his heart.
Is it possible that the current Shisui has made the same decision.
"Shisui, you--"
"Shisui has no problem!"
Kahaku beside Shisui suddenly spoke, interrupting Fugaku's words.
"Shisui is by your side. He is the representative of us Uchiha Clan and is the last line of defense for our family."
"As long as Shisui is fine, nothing will happen to the Uchiha Clan!"
He looked at Shisui, his face was solemn, and there was no expression on his face for the moment. He just nodded his head in agreement.
Fugaku can see things, how can he not see through them.
Now, Shisui is no longer the Shisui of the Uchiha Clan, but the Shisui of their master.
Anyone with any brains can understand this.
But you know, you know, once you say it, your face will lose its luster.
"I understand."
Fugaku Seeing this, he also knew that he was in a hurry and said no more.
During this meeting with Hokage, he brought Shisui here for the purpose of showing the people above them that Uchiha Clan had nothing to hide, and even the result of this negotiation would be seen by Shisui.
It's just that Shisui's answer just now made him a little bit overwhelmed.
At this time, the door of the house suddenly opened, revealing a Uchiha Clansmen who was on duty outside.
"Master Fugaku, Master Shisui, two elders."
"The three Hokage are here."
