Nightview City.
Southern District, Uchiha Clan Compound.
On the blank land, well-built foundations appeared one after another, and some high walls also rose up from the ground unknown when.
Although it is still in an unfinished state, it already has a little spark of new life.
But at this time, a group of uninvited guests were welcomed on this land.
Hokuto stopped the construction team and asked irrelevant personnel to evacuate. Then he led Izayoi, Xia, Ryuka, Meirou and other elites to face this group of visitors.
Wearing a high-collar ninja uniform that is roughly the same style as theirs, with the family crest of Gunbai engraved on the sleeves and the back of the clothes.
Obviously, these people are Uchiha Clan from Konoha, a total of seven people.
Although their number was smaller than Hokuto's, they were coming with a fierce force. The eyes of both sides met in the air, showing hostility and vigilance, and a series of fierce Kakkōs were used to fight with their eyes.
The leading ninja Uchiha from Konoha first glanced at the vast and barren land around him, and then his eyes fell on Hokuto, full of scrutiny and dissatisfaction.
"Hokuto, you have fallen."
"You are too arrogant, Shiranuma."
Hokuto stared coldly at the man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, refuting his words without mercy.
The other party's name is Uchiha Shiranuma. Before he left Konoha's Uchiha, the other party was already a senior member of the powerful faction in the clan, and his strength was on par with him.
Shiranuma raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't expect that Hokuto, who was so depressed that he had to seek refuge in a small country to survive, would dare to taunt him.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you about these meaningless things. You and the people behind you have had enough of messing around outside, so hurry up and come back with me. Now is a critical moment for the development of the family. Although you are not many in number, you are still a force."
"Go back? Where? Konoha? That is Senju's territory."
"That is not only Senju's village, but also our Uchiha's village."
Faced with Shiranuma's confident words, Hokuto crossed his arms and laughed coldly.
"Even the guy who formed an alliance with Senju is missing now, so what kind of village is this Uchiha? There must be a limit to joking."
"That is to say, you really don't plan to go back, do you?"
Scarlet red flashed in Shiranuma's eyes, and three pitch-black Tomoe appeared, spinning slowly.
Hokuto, not to be outdone, used Three-Tomoe Sharingan to look at each other.
Seemingly taking this as a signal, everyone behind the two people immediately turned on Sharingan, and some even moved Kunai, holding it tightly in their hands.
The fire Yakumi caused by friction in the air became more intense, as if it was about to explode.
"In that case, let's decide in Uchiha's way."
Shiranuma took a deep breath, raised his hand to stop the person behind him, and pointed the scarlet Sharingan directly at Hokuto.
"I will fight you one-on-one. If you lose, take someone back with me immediately."
"If you want to fight, I will fight with you to the end. But no matter you win or lose, I will not take anyone with you."
Hokuto does not accept the other party's provocation at all.
"Hokuto, you guy--"
Shiranuma's voice couldn't help but become deeper, with a bit of anger.
This guy is determined not to go back with him and is planning to cause an internal split.
However, before he could finish his words, a hissing sound pierced the air, and a Shuriken flew straight towards Hokuto's face.
Before Hokuto could react, Shuriken flew past his cheek, creating a bloody gash on his right face, causing blood to flow out.
"You bastards, how dare you make a sneak attack!"
The people behind Hokuto suddenly became angry. They took out Shuriken and Kunai and threw them towards the opposite side.
Only Meirou's head was blank and he stood there blankly. Where did this Shuriken fly from?
Seeing the people behind Hokuto taking out their ninja tools, the Uchiha ninja headed by Shiranuma also changed their expressions. They had no time to refute and shot out the Kunai and Shuriken in their hands almost at the same time.
The crisp sounds of metal collisions continued one after another, and the Kunai and Shuriken that were ejected staggered and collided in the air, causing violent sparks, and some even ejected to the dirt ground, splashing clouds of dust.
Blood seeped out from the wounds on the arms and thighs of several people. Even if they were ninjas of the same race and had Sharingan's super dynamic vision, it was inevitable that someone would be injured in such a close attack.
After all, everyone here is an expert in the use of Shuriken and Kunai.
"Shiranuma, you are so despicable. In order to force us to go back, you would unexpectedly use such a despicable sneak attack!"
Hokuto waved Ninja Blade hard, deflecting a large number of Kunai and Shuriken flying towards him, with an extremely cold expression.
Without waiting for Shiranuma to speak, he took back Ninja Blade and quickly Hand Seals.
"If you want to fight, then I will accompany you to the end!"
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge scorching fireball, accompanied by the roaring terrifying wind pressure, was ejected from Hokuto's mouth and headed straight for Shiranuma.
Shiranuma rolled sideways to dodge the sudden attack. The fireball rubbed the corner of his clothes and burned only a corner of his fabric into ashes.
"It seems that nothing I say is of any use. In this case, I can only use some means to drag you all back!"
Shiranuma also realized that if he wanted to convince Hokuto and others, words would not work at all, and he had to use some reasoning.
"Earth Release·Crack the earth and turn your palm!"
Shiranuma slapped his palm hard on the ground. The originally flat land instantly cracked and surged, causing Hokuto to jump up immediately. Sharingan firmly locked onto Shiranuma's movements.
"Fire Release·Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
The blazing flame dragon spit out from Shiranuma's mouth, and the high temperature bent the air, approaching Hokuto who was unable to move in mid-air.
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
However, Hokuto, who has been targeting Shiranuma with Sharingan, has already been on guard against him.
After clasping his hands together, he spit out a large amount of water from his mouth, gathering in front of him to form a thick wall of water as hard as steel.
The fire dragon collided with the wall of water, and hot steam surged in all directions, blowing the surrounding unfinished buildings and facilities topsy-turvy. The artificially planted trees were also uprooted from the ground, unable to withstand the strong impact caused by the Ninjutsu collision.
In the thick white steam, two figures collided quickly, and the scarlet Sharingan flickered in and out of the steam, like a ghost, making it dizzying.
Every action of the fighting Hokuto and Shiranuma is captured by the opponent's Sharingan for prediction.
With Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu almost tied, neither side could do anything about the other for a while. The entire unfinished new clan land was completely devastated. Many steel bars were exposed from the cement floor and were cut off as smoothly as tofu.
The others were also angry and no longer cared about which side started the war first.
Throwing ninjas such as Shuriken, Kunai, etc. continue to make violent impacts in the air, shooting out brilliant and dazzling Kakkō, filled with frightening fire Yakumi.
"Stop fighting! Don't fight anymore!"
Meirou came up to stop him, looking anxious.
He knew very well that this was always Land of Night's territory. Once the two sides exchanged fire, no matter what the outcome, it would be Shiranuma and others who would suffer in the end.
In short, let both parties stop first to prevent Land of Night Security Forces from intervening and making the matter bigger.
It's just that everyone ignored his shouting and only saw the opponents of the same race who must be defeated.
Hokuto and others regard Uchiha of Konoha as traitors. Coincidentally, Uchiha of Konoha thinks that Hokuto is the traitor.
Both of them have disliked each other for a long time.
Although it is not a death-defying attack, and the moves avoid vital points, it is the unanimous idea of both parties to make the other party suffer.
"Damn it!"
Meirou looked extremely ugly, knowing that he could not wait any longer.
When Security Forces comes over, it will really be over.
He immediately Hand Seals, preparing to use a large-scale Earth Release Technique to separate the battlefield.
But as soon as he gathered Chakra together, an astonishing wisp of pale cold air suddenly covered the entire battlefield at the speed of lightning.
Meirou's pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the source of the cold air.
A girl with silver-white hair wearing an ice-blue kimono quietly landed from the sky at some point.
The other party's purple pupils were filled with a biting chill that made one's soul tremble.
"Everyone stop it."
The cold air that could freeze people's blood covered the battlefield, plunging the battlefield into a biting winter, and crystal clear snowflakes fell from the sky.
Both sides of the firefight couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously stopped their movements.
Hokuto also hesitated and stopped attacking.
There was a flash of light in Shiranuma's Sharingan, and the Chunin knife swung towards Hokuto's chest without hesitation.
But what was faster than him were the snowflakes that quietly fell on his shoulders and clothes.
Click, click, as if something was biting hard, the sound of ice and snow freezing that stung the eardrums began to echo in Shiranuma's ears.
"Ice Release·Bou Xue Shuang Kill!"
Shiranuma turned into a lifelike human-shaped ice sculpture without any reaction at all. You can clearly see the shock and horror on his face.
The land around him was also covered with a thick layer of white frost, making Shiranuma, who had turned into an ice sculpture, become one with the land.
Everyone rolled their throats with difficulty and opened their mouths, but found that nothing could come out.
"It's a lie..."
"Master Shiranuma unexpectedly..."
Only Izayoi patted the dust on his clothes and was not surprised by the result at all.
She remembered that Irori used this move Ice Release to freeze Seven-Tails.
Ninjutsu, which can severely damage Tailed Beasts, is a dimensionality-reducing blow to everyone here.
◎
General's Residence.
A secret hot spring used to receive important people.
In the steamy hot spring pool, two men were soaking in the hot water, each occupying a corner. Judging from their faces, they felt extremely comfortable and comfortable.
"I didn't expect that you, as Hokage Advisor, would come here in person."
Yayoi, wrapped in a white towel, covering his important parts, leaned against the pool wall and looked at the man in front of him.
With silver-white hair and three red marks on his face, he is none other than Tobirama Senju who came from Konoha.
"What happened this time is a bit serious. The Uchiha clan members you gathered have created a big problem for us Konoha."
Tobirama folded his hands in front of his chest, and only the top of his neck was exposed to the water. The hot water of the right temperature soaked into the skin of his body, and even the fatigue accumulated during these days of work disappeared a lot.
"If that were really the case, you wouldn't have come to say hello in advance. If people like Hokuto return to Konoha, then for Hidden Leaf Village, they will be a hidden danger that may explode at any time."
Yayoi doesn't like Tobirama.
At best, you can only believe half of what comes out of this guy's mouth. The other half is either lying or testing something.
"Humph, I still can't hide it from you. According to my original intention, these people should be dealt with secretly. But brother, I still hope to solve the problem peacefully."
Tobirama sighed helplessly, he had no hope of deceiving the other party.
He just felt that Land of Night, a tree with or without jujubes, would definitely not suffer any loss if he knocked on a few poles first.
"Hashirama Your Excellency's mind is always incredible."
"Yes, brother, he is that kind of person. You understand this and that's why you dare to do this, right?"
"I don't deny this."
Faced with the question pointed out by Tobirama, Yayoi smiled and did not refute.
If Hashirama had a character like Madara, even if he had ten courages, he would not dare to take in Hokuto and others.
It was precisely because he understood that Hashirama didn't care about such things that he made this choice.
This is also what Tobirama appreciates about Yayoi, who never hides his motives and ambitions.
In comparison, there are too many ulterior actions in villages in other big countries.
Especially Land of Lightning's Hidden Cloud Village. According to the latest information he obtained, the other party seems to have dangerous thoughts about such a troublesome existence as Tailed Beasts...
At this moment, Yayoi wanted to say something, but his movements stopped.
Tobirama looked over. Just now, his Sensory Ninjutsu captured a Chakra signal coming from a distance.
"What's wrong?"
"It's the news from Irori. Uchiha Shiranuma and others have captured them all. What do you think, do you want to go and take a look now? After all, I imprisoned them all according to your request."
Yayoi looked at Tobirama and asked him what he would do next.
After all, the official documents used by the Uchiha Shiranuma group to enter Land of Night were all forgeries.
If it weren't for Tobirama, he wouldn't have made things so troublesome and would have just sent these people back to Konoha.
"I don't have that much time now, so let's lock them up for a while. Didn't you say you want to treat me to a big meal later? I want to know what kind of big meal you prepare as a general of a country."
Tobirama stood up from the pool. He felt that filling his stomach was more important than dealing with the diplomatic affairs of Uchiha Shiranuma and others.
"I don't care. How long are you talking about?"
"How will you do after you get married? There happen to be people from the Uzumaki Clan here. I, as a 'relative', will attend the wedding and then leave. It's very reasonable, right?"
Tobirama speaks righteously and sternly on his face.
Although his biggest task during this trip is to deal with the Uchiha matter, it would not be a big problem if he stayed a little longer. After all, he still needs to observe this city carefully for a while.
As for why we soaked in hot springs here, it was all because General Land of Night was too enthusiastic. He didn't want to do it in the first place.
Moreover, isn't he working hard to negotiate now?
