In the forest.
Uchiha Shisui and the others were still in hiding.
Suddenly, the sound of completely undisguised footsteps came over.
Immediately afterward, Qian appeared among the trees with several dozen ninja.
Qian swept his gaze around and said directly, "Come out, all of you!"
At his words, one ninja after another, their bodies wrapped in bandages and their auras somewhat weak, walked out from their respective hiding places.
Seeing their miserable state, the group that had come to receive them finally believed they truly had been ambushed.
Uchiha Shisui flashed to Qian's side. Looking at Uchiha Yashiro and the others, he said, "Qian, these people are..."
Hearing this, Qian pointed at Uchiha Yashiro and gave him a simple introduction. "This is our clan uncle, Uchiha Yashiro. He heard that Mist Ninja had broken through the defense line and was worried we might be in danger, so he brought people to receive us."
"Oh, it's clan uncle! Shisui pays his respects to clan uncle!"
When Uchiha Shisui heard Qian's words, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yashiro nodded. Looking at Uchiha Shisui, he said, "So you're Shisui? Not bad! Very good!"
After they had briefly gotten acquainted, Uchiha Yashiro did not exchange many more pleasantries.
After all, there were outsiders here, and many people had just lost companions and friends. If he showed too much warmth toward his own clansmen at a time like this, it could very well stir up resentment in these people's hearts.
Although Uchiha Yashiro did not care all that much about this, he still had to pay attention where appearances mattered.
Afterward, he began talking with the others, asking about the whole sequence of events.
At the same time, he sent people to investigate the place where the earlier battle had taken place
