Uchiha Hokuto left with a complicated look on his face.
However, in comparison, his complicated mood was mixed with a relaxed mood.
In the end, he did not make any adjustments or modifications to the plan given by Yayoi.
Because the treatment given by Yayoi was much better than what he expected. It was just some details. Only after the Uchiha clan members arrived could detailed adjustments be made based on each person's abilities and specialties.
Before coming, he had prepared for three to five days of negotiation. After all, things were sudden and required a process no matter how fast it was. As it turned out, the other party had already made arrangements in this regard and was waiting for them to "pack their bags and move in."
He originally wanted to scare Yayoi, but he was the one who was frightened instead.
Hokuto visited Yayoi at 7:20 in the morning, but when he left Nightview City, it was 8:00 in the morning forty minutes later.
In order to return to Land of Grass as soon as possible, Hokuto did not waste time on the way and used Ninja Cat to contact him. Instead, he chose to run all the way and reach Land of Grass as quickly as possible.
When we arrived at Land of Grass Stronghold No. 2, the Uchiha people who lived here temporarily had just finished moving, and most of them had not even had lunch.
Stronghold No. 2 is built in a hollow cave in a huge mountain, surrounded by Genjutsu Barrier. The exit location is also forged with huge rocks to prevent the detection of outsiders to the greatest extent.
Compared with the previous stronghold, the stronghold here seems to lack space, and the environment is not good.
After all, this stronghold is a shelter built for wartime. Concealment and solidity are the most important characteristics of this stronghold, and comfort comes second.
"... Master Hokuto, didn't you go to Land of Night? Why are you back so soon?"
Meirou, Izayoi and other elite tribesmen, looking at Hokuto's dusty appearance, couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that something unexpected happened in the middle? As a result, Hokuto did not go to Land of Night, but chose to return halfway?
"No, I have already reached an agreement with Land of Night, and we can move there next."
"Ah?"
Hokuto As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened, and confusion was written on everyone's face.
Is it settled? Wasn't this matter just finalized last night?
Hokuto Sir, are you conscious now?
No matter how fast the negotiation is, it will still take at least three to five days. After all, this is not a trivial matter for both parties.
Although their tribe here is not large, there are still more than a hundred people, and there are many who have ninja talents. Nine of them have awakened Three Tomoe, and they are not weak among Jonin.
Such a powerful force can easily kill several weak ninja clans.
They are all ready to negotiate at Hokuto for ten days and a half, or even longer at Land of Night.
"... Sir Hokuto, are you sure you didn't win Genjutsu?"
"..."
Hearing this, Hokuto's mouth twitched.
Although his strength is indeed inferior to that of top ninjas, if he wants to control him quietly with Genjutsu, except for Madara Uchiha, he doesn't think anyone else among Ninja World can do it.
"The explanation is a bit complicated. I will explain it slowly on the way there. Now go and inform all the tribesmen and prepare for the migration as soon as possible. In addition, just throw away some unimportant things."
Hokuto took a deep breath and regained his usual majestic aura.
Only then did everyone believe that the other party's attitude was not a joke, but that he was informing them very seriously.
Although it was a bit unbelievable, everyone did not object and began to gather the rest of the tribe according to Hokuto's arrangements to carry out the relocation operation.
They just finished moving and now they have to move again, which makes them want to complain.
Meirou was even more helpless. He had just channeled a contracted Ninja Cat an hour ago and sent a letter to the clansmen over there at Konoha.
I hope someone can be sent over there to dissuade him. After all, Uchiha's split is really inappropriate.
As a result, Hokuto has already negotiated, and even if this guy was in a hurry to reincarnate, he wouldn't be so quick.
Konoha No matter how fast the tribesmen over there move, it will take at least two or three days before they start taking action. By then, the tribesmen here will have already disappeared.
'This guy Hokuto, could he have had a private conversation with General of the Land of Night before this?'
Hokuto acted so quickly without giving anyone time to react, so Meirou had to wonder whether the internal meeting last night was a show deliberately staged by Hokuto.
Thinking of this, Meirou's heart trembled.
Unexpectedly, Hokuto, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be as cunning as a fox in his heart. He completely miscalculated this time.

At this time, Land of Whirlpool is far southeast of Land of Fire.
Uzumaki Shrine, an unknown underground dark place.
Tick tock...
Tick tock...
Tick tock...
In the dark and damp passage, there was a sound of water dripping that made people feel tight.
I don't know how long it had been since anyone had come to clean this place, so that the air in the passage began to be filled with a strange smell, mixed with a strange rotten smell.
The petite girl in miko uniform - Uzumaki Hisana, tiptoed on the damp land, taking cautious steps forward.
I pinched my nose from time to time to prevent being smelled by the rotten smell in the air.
Perhaps the smell was so unpleasant that she couldn't help but frown.
At the end of the dark and damp passage is a heavy, solid door made of steel, with a door handle attached to it.
It looks like a mysterious place, but it's not locked.
Hisana held the iron door handle and easily pushed the iron door open, revealing a gap that slowly expanded. Then he stuck his little head in like a thief and made a cat-like sound:
"Nene-chan, are you there?"
There were echoes in the room, but no one responded.
Hisana boldly took steps indoors.
However, in order to avoid causing too much noise, the closing action was very slight.
The light in the room is relatively dim, and I can barely see clearly that the space here is relatively wide, but many places are crowded with various objects.
But in the darkness, only the vague outlines of these objects could be clearly seen.
What it is exactly is hard to tell.
But fortunately, the air here is very fresh, without the unpleasant turbid smell outside.
"I remember it was in this place..."
Hisana walked quietly in a certain direction, came to a corner that was not easy to find, and opened one of the bags with silky movements.
Judging from her skillful operation, it is obviously not the first time she has done this.
"Hey, what is this? It's a bit soft, and it doesn't feel like cotton candy."
Hisana put his palm into the bag, thinking that what he touched would be food, but instead he touched something a little soft and slimy.
She took out the things out of curiosity, and because the light was relatively dim, she took a closer look at the things she took out.
I saw that this thing was a small round ball, mostly white, with a black hole-like thing floating in the center.
Slimy, soft.
The black hole is staring at Hisana.
Eyeball.
This is the human eyeball!
"Whoa!"
Hisana screamed in panic, shook his hand, loosened the bag, and fell to the ground, and the sticky eyeballs slipped out along with it.
Not long after she screamed, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The lights in the room suddenly lit up.
I saw lively eyeballs rolling out of the bag.
Countless dark pupils were staring at her.
Hisana saw this horrifying scene, his face turned as white as paper, his heart stopped, his whole body froze in place, and his scalp suddenly became very itchy.
"What are you doing here?"
A confused voice sounded behind Hisana.
Hisana turned around to look, as if seeing a life-saving straw, he quickly went up to hug the other person and pointed to the eyeball on the ground not far away.
"Nene-chan, eyes... eyeballs!? So many eyeballs!?"
"... You let go of me first, I can't breathe anymore."
The girl named Nene had her face buried tightly in Hisana's chest, feeling out of breath and breathing rapidly.
"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to."
Hisana quickly let go of the other party, his clear eyes full of innocence.
The girl in front of her - Uzumaki Nene, is a miko who works for Uzumaki Shrine just like her.
Different from the regular miko uniform, the miko uniform she wore was obviously modified by herself.
The lower body is a standard red hakama skirt. As for the white long coat on the upper body, the white arm sleeves are separated from the main body of the long coat, exposing the shoulders.
Exquisite red silk ropes are woven into the long clothes and arm sleeves.
Of course, the most special thing is the other person's hair color.
It's not the red color of the Uzumaki Clan, but an almost pale silvery white.
Only the color of her eyes is the same bright red as Uzumaki Clan's hair color.
"Nene-chan, it's too scary for you here. Why do you put so many eyeballs in that place? Don't you have nightmares at night?"
Hisana immediately patted his chest and shuddered when he thought of the scene just now.
Although she was born Uzumaki Clan, Hisana grew up in a shrine. She seldom went out and there were no battles that could affect her. She was well protected by her family.
Therefore, when you see a dead person or the parts of a dead person, you can't help but feel scared.
"It's just regular stuff, nothing so exaggerated. I've told you so many times, don't add the word 'sauce' after my name."
Uzumaki Nene glanced sideways at Hisana. The expression on his face was more nihilistic than cold.
Nene picked up the eyeballs scattered on the ground one by one. But instead of putting them back into the bag, they put them in a large transparent glass bottle filled with Solution.
The corner of Hisana's mouth twitched. He put it in the snack bag before, and it was definitely to protect her.
Nene-chan, so bad.
"By the way, what are you doing here? I don't have anything to do here."
Nene rubbed his eyes slightly, as if he hadn't woken up, and there were serious dark circles around his eyes.
"I'm hungry."
Hisana touched his belly.
'This is not a kitchen.'
Nene responded in his heart, but still found some ready-to-eat food and gave it to Hisana.
Hisana was eating snacks and looking at the room.
It is a well-equipped laboratory, but many of the equipment show signs of aging and rust. Obviously, it will be scrapped directly in the near future.
"No matter how many times I see it, Nene-chan, your place is so broken. It's like a garbage dump for recycling scraps."
Hisana made an unkind comment about this place.
"There is no way, the clan needs money in many places now, and very little is allocated to me."
Thinking of this, Nene couldn't help but have some dark thoughts in his heart.
She wished she could take those elders who deducted her research funds and put them on the dissecting table and slice them into slices.
"That's not because Nene-chan, you always fail to produce research results that satisfy the elders."
"..."
Listening to Hisana's words, Nene resisted the urge to chase them away.
This idiot really doesn't understand anything.
How can she produce research results without funds?
But then again, without research results, she can't get funding.
Damn it, isn't my research completely stuck in an endless loop now?
'Sure enough, this kind of family that has no vision at all should perish as soon as possible.'
A darker and twisted thought couldn't help but emerge from Nene's mind.
