After Konoha, it was Land of Night's turn, Hokuto and Izayoi raised their hands at the same time.
Uchiha Xia, who was sitting next to Izayoi, hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Hokuto and slowly raised her hand.
"Although I don't know what kind of country Land of Night is, nor what kind of person that general is, I trust Lord Hokuto's judgment."
The young Uchiha Ryuka spoke carelessly and raised his hand.
He despised the cowardly tribesmen who surrendered to Senju, and had a blood feud with the Senju Clan, so he decided to follow Hokuto, an elder of the martial arts sect, and leave the family.
The people here left Konoha for more or less the same reasons.
After that, another man and a woman raised their hands, choosing to believe in the leader Hokuto.
Of the remaining three, Meirou abstained, and the other two had some concerns and also chose to abstain.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Hokuto looked at the two people who had not raised their hands, not to blame, but just to know their inner thoughts.
As for the 'traitor' Meirou, Hokuto will not consider his ideas at all and just treat him as if he does not exist. Hokuto will not be surprised if the other party suddenly leaves without saying goodbye one day and goes to Konoha.
"It feels shameful to join a small country."
"You will be laughed at by those Konoha people."
The two Uchiha ninjas who did not raise their hands, both in their thirties, directly expressed their true thoughts.
When they left, they were ambitious and decided to make a career outside, and then turn around and laugh at the cowardly people of Konoha.
But more than two years have passed, and they have to bow their arrogant heads to the cold reality.
Their personal power is so ridiculously weak under the general trend of the times.
"Then do you think your own face is more important, or the survival of your tribe is more important?"
Hokuto asked a heart-wrenching question.
The two were speechless.
If it had been the time when they had just left, they would have answered without hesitation that the honor of the family was more important.
But looking at the group of ordinary tribesmen who followed Konoha away, their faces often showed uneasiness. They were confused and worried about the dangerous environment and the uncertainty of future life, and they could not say such cold-blooded words.
"Whether they laugh at us or ignore us with indifference, this is the choice we make ourselves. Living our lives well now is more important than anything else. Moreover, face, dignity, etc., have all been lost since the moment Madara formed an alliance with the Senju Clan and established Konoha."
Hokuto's cold words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the two Uchiha ninjas.
Yes, face, self-esteem, etc., whether it is them or Konoha's Uchiha, has long been lost.
And it was sent out personally by the clan leader they once respected.
Although the founder of Konoha has the name Uchiha, in the eyes of discerning people, it is the charity and mercy of the winner Senju Clan.
Even if many ninjas don't say it with their mouths, they may despise their Uchiha Clan's shamelessness in their hearts.
Hokuto took a deep breath and stopped discussing such uncomfortable things.
After Land of Night, Hokuto gives many options for ninja villages in small countries.
For example, Kusagakure of Land of Grass, Stone Village of Land of Stone, Frost Village of Land of Frost, Yugakure of Land of Hot Water, etc.
However, these small national ninja villages have very few supporters.
"Now that you have decided, let's take action. Next, I will go to Land of Night alone to discuss joining with the general. As for you, take your tribe and move to the second stronghold immediately. Since this place has been discovered by the people of Kusagakure, it means that it is no longer safe."
Hokuto is a fast-moving ninja. He makes decisions and immediately issues orders in an orderly manner.
A long time ago, Hokuto prepared another stronghold in order to be able to quickly shift positions and escape the crisis in such a dangerous situation where outsiders were aware of the traces.
"Yes."
No one refuted it. Now that a decision has been made, no matter what your thoughts are or what worries you have about the future, you must at least get through the difficult situation at hand first.
Now that the people from Kusagakure have discovered this place, more people will definitely come looking for them in the future. We must try to prevent these people from coming to our door now. They cannot tell whether the people sent by Kusagakure next time are malicious or well-intentioned.
"Then when can you come back, Master Hokuto?"
Uchiha Xia asked, Stronghold No. 2 was a wartime shelter, it was highly concealed, but the space was not large, so it could only be used to hide for a while.
The rest of the people also looked at Hokuto. The most important thing for them now is time.
"If everything goes well, we will be back in about three to five days." Hokuto was not sure and could only give a vague time, but in order to calm everyone down, he gave them a reassurance, "Don't worry, I will contact you regularly three times a day through Ninja Cat to explain the situation to you."
As Uchiha Clan's staunchest ally of Summoning Beast - Ninja Cat Clan, even if they left the family, this bond has never been broken.
As long as there is a need, Ninja Cat Clan will be their Uchiha Clan's best intelligence liaison.
Everyone said nothing and started to act separately with Hokuto.

"Master Yayoi, please take off your clothes!"
Yayoi got dressed early in the morning under the service of Kicho, and when he came to Tenshu Tower, he saw Yaya coming to him with a serious face.
"What are you doing?"
Yayoi looked at Yaya who appeared in front of him with question marks on his face.
She is no longer wearing a black strapless kimono and white knee-high socks, but is wearing a white nurse uniform with white knee-high socks wrapped around her thighs.
She also wears a pair of pink-framed glasses on her face, and her whole body is full of intelligence and temptation.
"Sir Yayoi, Yaya is currently learning professional Medical knowledge. In order to cheer up Yayoi to work during the day, please let Yaya do your recovery work."
"..."
What is this guy talking about?
Seeing Yaya reaching out to grab it without hesitation, Yayoi opened his hand directly, and a golden Chakra ball emerged.
Buzz.
The air vibrated, and the golden Chakra ball instantly expanded to just enough to cover Yaya, locking her inside.
Although Sealing Jutsu cannot be superimposed because the balance point has not been found, let alone used with Chakra Armament Mode, there is still no problem if it is used to trap Jonin for a period of time.
"Yaya's character is really distressing."
Yayoi came to his usual place and sat down. Irori handed him a cup of hot tea with some black wolfberry in it.
"However, Mr. Yayoi, you look quite tired. Although I don't really want to blame you, Mr. Yayoi should take care of your health and be a little more restrained."
"I told you, you clearly know why I am so tired."
Yayoi is speechless. The reason why he didn't feel energetic when he got up today was entirely because he practiced too much yesterday.
"Master Yayoi said that, I don't know."
Irori pursed his lips and smiled, as if he was pretending to be stupid on purpose.
"Okay, I will be more careful next time. However, Irori, you are now more lenient than Kicho and the others."
Facing Yayoi's 'accusation', Irori stood there smiling and saying nothing.
In this country, mothers' power is limited, but as an agent of the general, her power is unlimited.
On the other side, the restraints of the golden Chakra ball disappeared from Yaya.
She could clearly shatter it with a punch in an instant, but she deliberately waited until the golden Chakra ball disappeared by itself.
"Really, it turns out that Master Yayoi likes this. It seems that Yaya still has a lot to learn."
Yaya's body trembled slightly.
It's like discovering a big secret.
Master Yayoi has never touched her, it must be because she is not enthusiastic enough, and she is completely incomparable with those little hooves of Inner Court.
Especially the little butterfly, she secretly looked at it, and even she, who was shameless, felt that it was too shameless.
Yayoi ignored Yaya's self-talk.
If you respond, the other party will stick to you, but it will be endless.
Compared with the assassins outside who want other people's heads, he is now "assassinated" by Yaya no less than ten times a day.
She always appears and disappears, not only in the bathroom, in the bathroom, on the bed during lunch break, but also in the space under the desk.
Sometimes, medicine is also secretly added to the meals delivered.
I don't know where she got so many messy drugs.
While Yaya went to the lounge nearby to change back into clothes, Irori also reported something to Yayoi--
--Uchiha Hokuto came to meet you.
The other party arrived at Nightview City before dawn. It seemed that he had something to discuss this time.
Maybe it was because there was no anxious look on Hokuto's face, so Irori didn't use telepathy to disturb Yayoi's rest.
Moreover, even if anything happens, as the general's agent, she can fully represent Yayoi's will and handle every important matter.
As we all know, Land of Night has two suns in total.
The first sun is naturally the general Yayoi.
The other sun is not his wife Oda(Hyuga)Kicho, but her Irori.
"Let him come over."
Yayoi didn't think much and agreed to meet Uchiha Hokuto.
Ten minutes later, Hokuto appeared in front of Yayoi.
Because they have cooperated many times, Hokuto is no stranger to the environment here. Even without anyone to guide him, he can find this place with ease.
"Your Majesty General, I am taking the liberty of visiting this time in the hope that my people and I can find a place to stay in Land of Night."
Hokuto has no nonsense, time is running out, he must negotiate with Yayoi as soon as possible about the important matter of merging his Uchiha clan members into Land of Night.
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the topic without any confusion.
However, what puzzled Hokuto was that not only did Yayoi not show any surprise, but even Irori, who was his agent, also had a calm expression.
As for Yaya who had changed her clothes and came out, she was carrying a chair and sitting closely next to Yayoi. Her eyes were staring at Yayoi's side face from time to time. She was not interested at all in irrelevant people like Hokuto.
However, there were outsiders around, so she didn't really do anything on it. She just moved her feet secretly under the table, causing Irori to glare at her without leaving any trace.
"I see. Although this matter is a bit sudden, I have no reason to refuse. Well, I agree."
Yayoi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. This attitude was as casual as asking what he wanted for dinner tonight.
"Ah?"
Hokuto Open your mouth.
Is this suddenly decided? Don't you need to think about it carefully? For example, summon the senior management and hold a meeting or something?
Also, do you have no other worries or doubts about the joining of their Uchiha tribe?
"Irori."
"Yes."
Irori walked to the bookshelf not far away and took out a plan that had been planned.
Well, she and Yayoi worked together to complete this plan.
Hokuto took the plan handed over by Irori and was a little confused about what it was, but he still opened it out of curiosity and took a look.
After reading part of it, Hokuto's expression became extremely exciting, and his expression became even more changeable.
This plan completely introduces and arranges Uchiha Clan's treatment in great detail.
Next, he only needs to provide the personnel information, and he can get it done in one step.
The content is so detailed that there are many things that even Hokuto has not considered. Everything has been planned.
"... General, have you guessed it a long time ago?"
Hokuto's voice is a bit difficult.
"It's not difficult to guess these, is it?"
Yayoi's calm words left Hokuto speechless.
Indeed, it is not difficult at all to guess these.
They ran away from Konoha and spent more than two years running back and forth underground Black Market, which in itself was sending a 'poor and weak' signal to the outside world.
Not to mention, under the One Country, One Village system, the underground Black Market market has also suffered an unprecedented impact, with both task remuneration and quantity declining sharply.
Many major shareholders behind the scenes have begun to withdraw their capital and run away overnight, leaving only some who are too deeply involved and cannot leave, and are still struggling to support this underground world.
Although it is impossible for Black Market to truly perish, it is still in a state of half-death. When will the second spring begin? At least in the next ten years, there is no hope of rising.
The various missions they had received from Yayoi before were probably part of the plan, in order to observe them in more detail and collect their intelligence.
After all, there is no easier way to observe and understand a target than to make the target move frequently.
"The conditions I gave have been written above. Of course, if you are dissatisfied with anything or feel that adjustments need to be made, you can also put forward your ideas."
No matter how Yayoi calculates, he can only roughly understand the situation of the Uchiha tribe led by Hokuto.
Therefore, in some places in the plan, he and Irori deliberately left some flexible space to facilitate subsequent negotiations.
