Next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura also stood there.
Both of them had a complex look in their eyes, and their expressions were equally cautious. Even they took the initiative to come out and greet Uya this time, after all, Konoha was at a critical juncture of life and death.
Just as they were about to say something, they saw the Seven-Tails exuding overwhelming ferocity, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces.
The Seven-Tails ' posture looks like it could suddenly pounce and devour someone at any moment!
"Han... Lord Uya, is the Seven-Tails alright like this?"
Finally, a Konoha ninja couldn't help but swallow hard, and spoke in a trembling voice to Uya with a look of fear on his face.
What do you think?
Uya asked a question indifferently, then glanced at Seven-Tails and Seven-Tails at it.
The Seven-Tails immediately understood, and with a whoosh, it spread its wings, startling the surrounding Konoha Ninja, who took a few steps back in horror. Then, under countless fearful gazes, the Seven-Tails flapped its wings twice and Setsuna soared into the sky, disappearing from sight.
It wasn't until long after the Seven-Tails had left that the Konoha Ninja present took a deep breath and came to their senses from the shock.
"Didn't Danzo come?"
After glancing around the arena, Yuya didn't see Danzo's figure, and the Shockwave Sensing also didn't detect Danzo in Konoha, so he asked a question Uya.
"He just left recently to deal with the battle in Kirigakure."
Hiruzen Sarutobi answered Uya with a slightly cautious tone. Perhaps he wouldn't be so cautious and nervous towards Uya normally, but now, with Konoha facing a life-or-death situation, he dared not have any thoughts at all.
It seems Danzo is deliberately hiding.
A slight mockery arose in Uya's heart. The battle in Kirigakure? Very well, let's deal with Kirigakure first.
Upon arriving at the Hokage's office, Uya didn't bother with Hiruzen Sarutobi and directly stated that he would capture all the Jinchūriki in exchange for Tsunade staying in Amegakure.
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a strange bitterness in his heart as he listened to Uya's words, because Uya's current attitude was completely that of the leader of Amegakure, clearly indicating that there was no possibility of him returning to Konoha.
After all, Uya was never a member of Konoha.
Fortunately, as long as Uya and Konoha don't become enemies, that's fine.
With that in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi readily agreed to Uya's request. Although Tsunade was important to him as the leader of Konoha's medical-nin force, she was clearly not as important as Uya, who was capable of changing the course of the battle.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's view, when the village faces such a crisis, anyone can be sacrificed, including Tsunade!
"In that case, it's settled then."
Uya sat there and nodded casually. After taking a sip of tea, he placed the cup back on the table, a hint of indifference in his eyes, and said, "I've already captured the One-Tail Jinchuriki, so... let's start with Kirigakure. It seems Might Duy was on the Kirigakure battlefield?"
"That's right."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, not surprised that Uya had obtained such information.
Might Duy is quite well-known in the Shinobi World now. Having opened the Seventh Gate, Might Duy's strength is comparable to that of Kage Level, and he is now Elite Jonin of Konoha.
However, since he was only strong in Taijutsu and lacked talent in other areas such as command and reconnaissance, Might Duy was not the frontline commander of Kirigakure.
"So... when will you depart, Uya? Do you need to lead a force to reinforce the front lines in Kirigakure?" Hiruzen Sarutobi sat next to Uya, his tone tinged with caution.
"Reinforcements? We don't need that."
Uya shook his head slightly, then stood up and said, "We can go now. I can handle it alone."
"Very good!"
Upon hearing Uya say that they would leave immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally breathed a sigh of relief, a Taiseki lifted from his heart, and a look of joy finally appeared in his eyes.
Immediately standing up, Hiruzen Sarutobi escorted Uya to the door.
Uya ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi, walked out of the Hokage Building on her own, bit her finger, Hand Seals, and gently pressed her hands to the ground.
" Summoning Technique!"
Pfft!
A flash of white smoke appeared, and then the Seven-Tails ' figure instantly appeared in the arena, its terrifying aura shaking the entire scene Setsuna again.
This scene caused Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils to shrink sharply, his heart filled with even greater shock and horror.
The Seven-Tails... it's Uya's Summoning Beast!
He originally thought that Uya and the Seven-Tails were similar to Jinchūriki, or that Uya was temporarily controlling the Seven-Tails, but he did not expect that the Seven-Tails had actually signed Summoning Contract with Uya.
Summoning Contract is permanent!
It's incredible that Uya could make even Tailed Beast willingly sign Summoning Contract. In Hiruzen Sarutobi's memory, it seems that only Madara Uchiha had forcibly signed Summoning Contract with Nine-Tails. Apart from Madara Uchiha, no one else could command Tailed Beast in the way of summoning a Summoning Beast!
With one step, Uya landed directly on the back of the Seven-Tails.
The Seven-Tails gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a cold look, then suddenly let out a sharp cry, carrying Uya into the sky, soaring directly into the clouds, turning into a black dot, and finally disappearing from sight.
Border of the Land of Fire.
This is the front line of the battle between Konoha and Kirigakure, located on the easternmost side of the Land of Fire, practically on the coast. Across the sea lies the Land of Water.
However, the battle line is no longer at the coast, but has been pushed into the inner 6th ninja village of the Land of Fire. Other ninja villages have used the power of Jinchūriki and Tailed Beast, and the Land of Water has not been outdone, also using the Three-Tails.
Faced with the power of the Three-Tails, Konoha was equally unable to resist and was pushed forward all the way.
At this very moment, in the Konoha camp.
In an inconspicuous corner, a boy dressed in a tight-fitting suit and sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut was earnestly punching a wooden stake in front of him.
It was Might Duy's son, Might Guy.
Even on this battlefield, where battle could break out at any moment, Might Guy had no intention of resting or recuperating. He continued to push his limits and relentlessly train his Taijutsu.
Like his father Might Duy, he had almost no talent in Ninjutsu Genjutsu; the only area where he could focus his efforts was Taijutsu.
However, unlike in the original work, the current Might Duy is not some Eternal Genin, but an extremely outstanding figure in Konoha, and a role model and goal for Might Guy to strive for.
Punch after punch landed on the wooden stake, sweat pouring down his face, but Might Guy gritted his teeth and persevered, showing no intention of giving up. Because of his father Might Duy, he firmly believed that even with just Taijutsu, he could become a powerful ninja. (To be continued.)
