In the dark and secluded cell, the Konoha Uchiha ninjas headed by Uchiha Shiranuma were all sitting here dejectedly.
Although the light is dim, the environment in the cell is quite neat and clean. There are standard bedding and beds. There are also some books and periodicals placed on the storage cabinets for reading when you are bored.
But this still doesn't change the fact that they are imprisoned here.
Iron shackles were locked on both feet and hands, and pieces of Sealing Talisman paper were attached to the shackles.
The material used to make the shackles was obviously Chakra Metal, which was of excellent quality. The sealing ability of the spell was directly applied to them through the shackles.
As a result, not even a trace of Chakra can circulate in their bodies.
And not only can Chakra be unable to function, but its body has also been weakened and turned into the same as Ordinary People.
With Ordinary People's strength, he could not break free of the metal shackles on his hands and ankles no matter what.
Even if you can break free, the noise will be too loud and alert the prison guards.
What's more...
Through the iron bars, they glanced at Samurai who suddenly passed through the corridor outside the cell door.
That is definitely not a human being, but a puppet.
These 'Samurai' are wearing heavy armor and big swords, their faces are covered with iron masks, their eyes are red, and they are grouped in groups of four.
They floated forward quietly, and the heavy armors on their bodies collided without making any sound, just like Ghost without weight, showing an indescribable weirdness.
Uchiha Shiranuma and others have calculated that the patrol time of these Puppet Samurai is twenty-four hours a day, regardless of day or night, without interruption, and there is no pattern at all.
Sometimes I pass by every ten minutes, sometimes twenty minutes, sometimes even less than ten minutes. And the speed is inconsistent every time, sometimes as slow as walking, sometimes as fast as the wind.
The patrol pattern is so complex and changeable, which undoubtedly further increases the difficulty for prisoners in the cell to escape.
The only good thing is that after three days, the guards guarding the prison did not interrogate their thoughts, but just brought breakfast, lunch and dinner regularly every day.
No matter what they asked, the guard who delivered the meal acted like a mute or deaf person. He turned around and left without saying a word, with no desire to talk at all.
This kind of indifference and disregard is what makes Shiranuma and others most irritated.
Because they have no idea how long they will stay in this kind of place, and they have no access to any information from the outside world, which means they are completely isolated from the outside world, and the psychological pressure caused can be imagined.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came closer and closer, causing Shiranuma and others to raise their heads.
I saw a man with silver-white hair and three red marks on his face, standing outside the cell through the iron railings.
"Senju...Tobirama."
Shiranuma made a crisp sound of being shackled, stood up from the hard floor, and stared straight at the white-haired man in front of him.
The other Uchiha ninjas also stood up from the floor, with unnatural expressions on their faces.
Although I knew Konoha would send someone over, I didn't expect it would be someone from the Senju Clan, and it happened to be Tobirama Senju, their boss Shiranuma's least favorite.
Although Konoha was established, Tobirama was very prestigious among all ethnic groups, including them Uchiha Clan, because of their clear-cut attitude towards dealing with public and private matters.
But as we all know, since Uchiha was merged into Konoha, there have been various different voices within the clan. Even Madara, the previous clan leader, was unable to reconcile such conflicts.
Some people agree that Tobirama is fair, while others are stubborn and still hold hostility and scrutiny towards Tobirama.
Shiranuma is one of them.
Although not as extreme as Hokuto's group of people who reject Senju, his original purpose of staying in Konoha was to compete with Senju, and even hoped that one day he could overpower Senju and seize the leadership of the village...
However, since Madara left, Shiranuma knew that the slim possibility had become an unrealistic fantasy.
It's just that he doesn't like the thought of Senju, which still remains in his mind and cannot be eradicated.
"What, are you here to see my joke?"
Shiranuma's voice became hoarse.
The rest of the Uchiha clan members are a little trembling. Isn't it a little bad to say this at this time?
Since Tobirama appears here, it means that he is here to negotiate with Land of Night and guarantee them.
But seeing Shiranuma's gloomy face, they could only stand aside obediently, holding their breath and not daring to gasp loudly.
"I'm not that boring. I just came here to tell you that because of your affairs, Konoha was put into a passive situation. Moreover, this also seriously tarnished Konoha's face."
Tobirama wants to tell them the seriousness of the matter.
"But, Consultant Tobirama, we reviewed the conflict that day after the fact, and it was not our side that took action first."
"Yes, we just want to negotiate and have no intention of taking action."
"We are not fools, how could we take action first on other people's territory."
The rest of the Uchiha tribe began to argue.
At the beginning, they were quite confused as to why someone on their side took action first. This was completely different from what they had agreed upon at the beginning.
As a result, after they were imprisoned and reviewed again, they realized that the Shuriken that first attacked Hokuto had nothing to do with them.
"But you finally took action."
"Then you can't blame us. They were the ones who started the attack. We can't just stand there and be beaten without fighting back."
"No, it has nothing to do with this. As long as you take action, it doesn't matter who takes action first."
Tobirama's voice is plain, with an undeniable toughness.
Uchiha Everyone in the cell turned blue and white, but they couldn't say anything to refute.
Obviously they also realized that this was originally a game designed by Hokuto's group of people.
That thick-browed and big-eyed Hokuto, who has been out for two years, has already begun to learn bad things, and even uses conspiracy and tricks.
He is so despicable!
"In this case, Hokuto must be at fault too. They can't just target us."
"Regarding this, General Land of Night has officially punished them and asked them to reflect at home for a day."
"..."
Uchiha Everyone's eyes widened.
Can a day of reflection at home be considered punishment?
The sky in Land of Night is too dark. Even if we are one of our own, we cannot cover up like this.
"This was someone else's family matter, and it happened on someone else's territory. There were no casualties after the incident, but only a small loss of buildings...General of the Land of Night punished Hokuto and those people, and spent a day at home to reflect. I am already taking care of your emotions."
"..."
We also want to thank that General for his selflessness?
"In this case, can we go out now?"
A Uchiha ninja couldn't help but speak.
It doesn't matter what happens, but getting out of this hellish place first is more important than anything else.
The rest of the Uchiha clan members, including Shiranuma, all had expressions of excitement on their faces.
Tobirama sighed and rubbed his eyebrows as if he had a headache.
"You guys... really don't understand the seriousness of the matter. Do you really think that you are being detained here because you started fighting with someone? This is just a trivial matter, and there is no need for me to step in."
"Then, what is that?"
Only Shiranuma thought of something and his face turned ugly.
Tobirama glanced at Shiranuma, his expression suddenly became serious, even with a bit of anger:
"Compared to that, why did you forge documents and enter Land of Night privately?"
After being reminded by Tobirama, everyone in the cell realized something and lowered their heads in shame.
"Well, we thought..."
Someone wanted to argue, but their voices were extremely weak.
"Idiots! Idiots! You are really a bunch of idiots who can enter the museum! Do you know how much trouble this will cause to us Konoha? And it will also bring a huge blow to your reputation Uchiha. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Tobirama's eyes are sharp, and they look like they want to kill someone.
Except for Shiranuma, everyone else was frightened, especially that sentence which would have a huge blow to Uchiha's reputation and made them pale.
Even Shiranuma couldn't help but break out some cold sweat on his forehead.
"Is this kind of thing... that serious?"
Shiranuma's voice was dry, and his tone was obviously not that confident.
"It's more serious than you think. Entering the territory of another country privately without formal documents means military aggression. Don't forget, you are Konoha's serving ninjas."
Tobirama looked at everyone meaningfully, reminding these people not to look at the country in the new era through the eyes of the past era.
Now that One Country, One Village has been gradually established, various countries have begun to consciously regulate and restrict ninjas from other countries entering their territory. They can no longer come and leave as they pleased in the past.
Without formal documents, if a ninja with powerful destructive power crosses the border privately, it is a military invasion and a challenge to a country's sovereignty.
"Furthermore, I also congratulate you. Because your matter is the first in the One Country, One Village era, how to handle it is very difficult for Land of Night and Konoha. Because if it is not handled well, it may lead to a war between the two countries. As long as a war starts, Shinobi World War will definitely be triggered."
After listening to Tobirama's statement, even Shiranuma realized how audacious his behavior was.
And what Tobirama said is not an exaggeration at all. If Land of Night and Konoha start a war, the winner will definitely be Konoha.
But what happens after that? He will not be so naive as to think that his opponent will be just Land of Night.
The other four major national ninja villages will definitely reach the same front with Land of Night, provide rapid support, and then unanimously launch military operations against Land of Fire and Konoha.
Although Konoha is strong, it cannot block enemies from all directions. By then, the entire Land of Fire will be in ruins.
"But don't worry, Land of Night and Konoha definitely don't want that to happen. But your matter is indeed difficult to deal with, because there has been no such example in the past."
In the past, the management of the ninja clan was very loose. After all, ninjas from other countries can also be a help. Daimyo from all countries also have a tacit attitude towards the comings and goings of ninjas.
But in the One Country, One Village era, the nature was completely different. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the behavior of Uchiha, Shiranuma and others was the first of its kind.
Well, the first concrete example on the table.
As for secretly... As long as you are not caught or don't admit to committing suicide, of course it doesn't count.
"You guys should be more honest here these days and don't cause any more trouble for me. As for when you can come out, it will be ten days and a half at the earliest, and about a month at a slower pace. Don't worry, Konoha will not give up on you, and I also have some friendship with General of the Land of Night."
"Then Hokuto can those people come back..."
"Give up this delusion. They just happen to have the same surname and bloodline as you. In fact, they are not Konoha's ninjas at all. Konoha has no record of their identities. Konoha has no reason to get involved. In short, you should be honest here."
Tobirama looked tired and repeatedly warned Uchiha people in the cell not to act rashly, which would add pressure and difficulty to Konoha's side again.
After saying that, Tobirama raised his feet and left while thinking about the afternoon schedule:
'I was a little full after lunch, so I went to the museum for a walk, and then went to the theater to watch a puppet show to relieve my appetite. Oda That guy really didn't arrange a tour guide for me, so I had to explore on my own.'
When I think about the days I have lived these past few days, even Tobirama himself feels that it is a bit too corrupt.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all special delicacies that are not repeated. If you have nothing else to do, go to a play, go to the newly opened museum to appreciate the historical collections of the past, or go to the hot springs to relax your muscles and bones.
Not to mention, Nightview City also has a very lively Night Market at night, with novelty products from all over the world, and various street performances. This kind of prosperity and fireworks is something Konoha does not have at this time.
Although this is not tiring at all, it is still hard on myself.
"That..."
At this moment, the dry voice of Shiranuma came to my ears:
"Thank... thank you."
Tobirama paused for a moment, hummed slightly, agreed, and left without looking back.
After saying the word 'thank you', Shiranuma seemed to have drained all his strength and sat on the floor with a complicated expression.
The remaining Uchiha ninjas sat aside and whispered:
"Master Shiranuma..."
"This time we really caused trouble for consultant Tobirama."
"Tobirama Consultant looks so tired, as if he hasn't woken up from sleep. He must have been so busy since he came here because of our affairs. He might have rushed here without even having lunch."
"More than this, I'm a little curious, what is the museum that consultant Tobirama just mentioned?"
"How do I know this? Don't change the subject."
Everyone was talking among themselves.
Obviously he usually hates them Uchiha, but he can always stand up at critical moments. Consultant Tobirama is really...
Tobirama consultant is simply Konoha's new sun.
