"Kill!"
The Cloud Ninja, having the advantage in numbers, did not intend to engage in close combat, as that could potentially injure their own people. Instead, they threw out a large number of Shuriken.
Hongshi raised his right hand, and all the Cloud Ninja's ninja tools were drawn to him by an invisible force, flying to his front. "First, we can't use ninja tools, what if they hurt my Xiao Daocao?"
"Nani!"
The Cloud Ninja seemed to sense something was wrong; they had never seen this kind of Ninjutsu before.
Xiao Daocao wore a mask, but her voice remained clear. "Master is amazing!"
Yamato exclaimed in admiration, "Oh! What exquisite control!"
Hongshi, seeing the Cloud Ninja still standing there in a daze, shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Charge! Beat them up!"
"Oh! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"I almost forgot about that! Wood Release: Beam Technique!"
"Immortal Technique - Gentle Fist - Swimming Dragon Fist!"
" Inakusa Style: Sage Shuriken!"
The Cloud Ninja are renowned for their exquisite swordsmanship and Taijutsu. Without their katanas, they saw the Konoha Ninja attacking first and tried to counterattack with Ninjutsu, but to their surprise, they found that their Chakra had completely disappeared and they were unable to move, their limbs feeling as if they were nailed to the ground.
Hongshi yawned. "Oh right, I forgot to mention, you can't use Ninjutsu either. Oh, right, you can't use Genjutsu either. And also, you can't ambush. Whoever they attack can move, right? That's fair, isn't it?"
Cloud Ninja: "Are you even human? Huh? Are you even human?! Can't you handle this?!"
Mangetsu Kaze, wielding Chakra Blade in both hands, saw a large number of Cloud Ninja trembling and unable to move, and asked, "Hmm? What's going on?"
Hongshi waved to Mangetsu Kaze: "Hey, don't get involved in ninja matters. Come here, let's talk?"
Mangetsu Kaze looked a little confused. "What's wrong with them?"
Hongshi laughed, "Oh. To be fair, I took their ninja tools, absorbed their Chakra, and put them under the Binding Technique, so they can't move. It's one-on-one. Thanks to the Second Prince for giving my disciple a sandbag. Xiao Daocao! Use your Chakra wisely! You have to fight twenty people!"
Xiao Daocao: "Oh! I understand, Master!"
Mangetsu Kaze was taken aback by the sheer size of the man before him. "You did all this? I thought you were good at hand-to -Taijutsu!"
Hongshi chuckled, pulled a box from his pocket containing about ten skewers of dumplings, and handed one to Mangetsu Kaze: "I'm proficient in Taijutsu Ninjutsu Genjutsu, and Senjutsu techniques. I have no weaknesses. I'm the strongest in the Shinobi World. Want a skewer of dumplings?"
"Yeah, I just like eating dumplings. No, no, I meant to say, judging from your clothes, you're just a Genin. Are Genin in Konoha this strong?"
Hongshi patted his chest. "I can guarantee that Genin in Konoha are very strong. Of course, I'm the strongest. Hey, you guys, hurry up! I can't hold out for much longer. There are still five hours left."
Xiao Daocao took off his mask and wiped his sweat. "I'll try my best! Immortal Technique - White Snake Palm!"
The Lord God: "Where did the snake get its paws from!"
Little Haku: "Yes, hit here! This is the Achilles' heel! Hmm? Why do I smell meatballs?"
Xiao Daocao: "Hmm! Immortal Technique: Katsuyu Fist!"
Lord God: " Katsuyu have fists now?"
Little Katsuyu: "Don't use too much force, or you'll cause irreparable damage!"
Hongshi pointed at Xiao Daocao: "Look at this cute little girl, she's my apprentice, just a ninja apprentice, not even Genin."
Upon hearing this, and looking at the Cloud Ninja had been knocked down like wooden stakes, the flames of battle that had been extinguished were reignited in Mangetsu Kaze.
The Mangetsu Kumo above, watching all the Cloud Ninja standing Immobility, letting the Konoha Ninja knock them down, roared, "Get moving! What are you all standing there for?!"
"We want to move too, but we can't!"
The Cloud Ninja tried for a long time, but had completely given up resisting and become like salted fish.
Mangetsu Kumo's forehead was sweating. "What's with this bald, muscular black man? Luckily I was quick-witted, and Mangetsu Kaze Wind is really lucky, otherwise..."
The attack by Yamato and his five men was swift and effortless, quickly knocking over a hundred Cloud Ninja to the ground and rendering them incapable of resistance.
Hongshi looked at Xiao Daocao, who was running towards him expectantly, and patted her head. "Amazing! Xiao Daocao has gotten stronger too, you can even defeat twenty ninjas now. I'll teach you a powerful technique later!"
Little Haku: "Hey! Hongshi, did you steal some dumplings?! Hand them over right now!"
"Get out of the way."
Yamato: "(_) If you do that, she'll get arrogant."
Hongshi sighed, " The Cloud Ninja really doesn't have a single capable fighter. They can't even beat a child. It's shameful!"
Mangetsu Kumo looked at Mangetsu Ame with a strange expression. "These are the Cloud Ninja you hired? They can't even beat a child."
Mangetsu Ame was also bewildered. "They are all genuine Chunin!"
Konohamaru sighed, "Sigh... The ninjas from Kumogakure are so weak. I thought we could have a bloody battle."
Hanabi Hyuga: "Phew, I feel so much better! I don't think I needed to enter Sage Mode at all."
Mangetsu Kumo coughed twice. "Now that the battle is over, my Land of the Moon will form an alliance with Konoha. You may return to report."
Mangetsu Ame knelt on the ground. "Father! Please reconsider!"
Mangetsu Kumo sighed, " Ame, you have disappointed me greatly. I'll give you two choices: one is to be demoted to the lord of New Moon Port, and from now on, you will never be allowed to set foot in the Full Moon Palace again; the other is to be stripped of your noble title, exiled abroad, and never allowed to set foot on the territory of the Land of the Moon again. Think about it yourself."
The implication is that Mangetsu Ame has been stripped of her inheritance rights, but since she is still her own flesh and blood, anyone with a brain would choose the first option, given the two unequal choices.
Mangetsu Ame shed tears. "Yes... yes!"
The eyes of the others, looking at Hongshi and the others, were filled with resentment and malice.
Yamato bowed again to Mangetsu Kumo: "Your Majesty, in that case, I will immediately inform Konoha. More ninjas will come to protect us soon."
Once the Land of the Moon announces its alliance with Konoha, it will face immense pressure from the Land of Lightning and must...
"Go." Mangetsu Kumo sat back on the throne, looking at Mangetsu Kaze who was still eating dumplings with Hongshi: "Once the alliance is finalized, A-Kaze, you will be the King of the Land of the Moon. The task of protecting the Land of the Moon will fall on your shoulders. Stop eating! Did you hear me talking to you?!"
"Oh!" Mangetsu Kaze wiped the honey from his lips. "Yes! Father, I have done my utmost to protect the Land of the Moon!"
Hongshi smiled and said, "Uncle, I have high hopes for you."
Mangetsu Kumo pointed at the Cloud Ninja on the ground. " Mangetsu Ame, you can deal with these Cloud Ninja yourself."
Yamato and said, "Alright, mission accomplished, we should head back. I believe Mangetsu Kaze will be a very reliable ally."
Hanabi Hyuga said, " Hongshi, let me treat you to some dumplings."
Yamato: "Who said they wanted to eat dumplings! Oh, it's Lady Hanabi, feel free to eat as much as you like!"
A thought flashed through Hongshi's mind...
Nuclear Ninja Village Office
Shirofukuji, who had been asleep on his desk, suddenly jolted awake, drool still dripping from his face. Sesshomaru, standing nearby, was utterly disgusted. "What! Are you back from the dead?!"
Shirofukuji: "Gulalalala, go and call Gato over, we're about to strike it rich!"
