"The bounty we've saved should last us a long time. It doesn't matter if we don't have any resources from within the clan."
He assumed the other person was worried about his life, and then quickly added.
"No, no, no, no!"
Quan raised her cheeks slightly, eager to explain something.
But when her gaze fell upon the boy's clean yet murderous face, she panicked for a moment.
"Oh dear, hurry up and clean yourself up! You haven't been properly cleaned in days!"
She pretended to be the older sister, subtly changing the subject and taking several steps back with an air of importance.
"Also, come over for dinner later."
The girl, who had moved to the doorway, calmed her turbulent emotions and began to appear natural and poised.
"Okay, it's been a long time since I've seen Aunt Hazuki."
Huang agreed.
But when he mentioned Izumi's mother, the girl's cheeks, which had just calmed down, suddenly burned again. She then turned around, said "clean up properly," and left quickly.
It left behind only a somewhat bewildered desolation.
Did I say something wrong?
.......
After Izumi left, Ara began to examine the results of his last summoning.
The seven low-level talismans summoned the following monsters: [Turbidoka], [Red Tengu], [Green Tengu], [Yellow Tengu], [Blue Tengu], [Tetsuzou], and [Yamawara].
Apart from the demon Yamawara, who can provide him with a certain degree of power boost after being possessed by a demon, the other demons are rather weak and can only play a minor supporting role at best.
The intermediate-level talisman he had been most looking forward to did not provide him with a good response.
Nightmare-level monster: [Kaoru]
She is a gentle and lovely girl, just like Yingcao.
It possesses the power to protect.
This shattered Huang's eagerness to further enhance his strength.
But it unlocked another title quest:
【Title Quest: The Night Parade of Ghosts】
Mission Description: Summon hundreds of demons from other worlds, gain their trust, recognition, and power, so that you can survive in the cruel ninja world and one day become the master of all demons!
Conditions for achievement: Form contracts with eleven monsters
Quest Reward: Title - Eleven Demon Parade

(Your monster team is really weak!)
Advanced Quest: Thirty-Three Demon Parade
(P.S.: The title "Oni Night Parade" increases the host's strength, speed, perception, spirit, and mana recovery by 1% for each contracted yokai present. Current maximum increase: 11%.)
Chapter 58 Is it possible to rely on 'roots'?
Ara's unusual decision to stay on the clan's territory immediately attracted the attention of Konoha's higher-ups, especially Shimura Danzo.
At this moment, he was sitting upright in the Hokage's office, his face gloomy, his single left eye filled with gloom.
'Damn it! Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is really useful.'
'Even four hundred Iwagakure ninja couldn't kill them!'
'Furthermore, even Ryoma Aburame has disappeared without a trace. Just how many secrets does that guy hold?'
Accompanying him were the Third Hokage, who was silently smoking his pipe, and two advisors.
"Recently, more and more Uchiha clansmen have been returning from the border of Kirigakure."
In the end, it was Danzo Shimura who broke the silence.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi paid no attention and remained engrossed in the tobacco.
His mind is not on the Uchiha clan at all right now.
But it lies in Baiyun Yeshan!
To pacify external threats, one must first secure internal stability. This is an age-old principle. In the past, most of the village's ninjas had various opinions about the proud Uchiha clan. Coupled with the increasingly brutal practices of the police force, this should have been the best possible situation!
The Uchiha clan was isolated.
Other clans and commoner ninjas were either hostile or neutral, and had no supporters or voices of support.
But everything changed because of the appearance of that wasteland!
He ventured alone into the Land of Water, facing the pursuit of hundreds of elite ninjas, yet still fought back and killed a Kirigakure Jonin!
The sight of him covered in blood, wielding a broken blade, and single-handedly holding off hundreds of ninjas drove the Uchiha clan, who rushed to the scene, into a frenzy. They left no one behind at their camp and launched a full-scale attack on the Land of Water.
Although it is unknown what changes have occurred within Kirigakure, the strongest Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the tailless tailed beast, and Mei Terumi, the dual bloodline limit user, and other top elites, have not appeared in the battle.
But victory is victory.
It is also a fact that they invaded the heart of the Land of Water.
This great victory invigorated the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and even ninjas who had previously loathed the Uchiha's personality and ways of doing things couldn't help but feel respect.
After all, this is the ninja world, where people admire the strong!
Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't worried about the worship of ordinary ninjas and residents.
Because this is just a temporary frenzy.
All it takes is another resounding victory, another more popular clan gaining prominence, and a little more hype. When people remember the arrogance and pride of the Uchiha clan in the past, the chorus of support will naturally shift and disappear.
Even that wasn't necessary. After more than two months of calming down, the initial frenzy had slowly turned into tranquility.
but!
What we really need to care about are the pillars of Konoha who have no family ties!
Their existence directly influences the value orientation of Konoha's civilian ninjas, and they are also the most prosperous and fundamental source of Konoha's prosperity.
Danzo's failed scheme has given Hayama, an elite Jonin, different thoughts and doubts.
Although the other party did not say it directly.
But this couldn't escape Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
If even a powerful ninja like Hayama, who is far removed from the political center, were to side with the Uchiha, it would be an unspeakable blow to them.
'Boom. '
"Hiruzen."
Danzo Shimura called out in a low, deep voice.
His words were laced with suppressed anger.
He had gone to great lengths to suppress the Uchiha's momentum, even losing a particularly useful ANBU member, and now this guy was acting as if he was daydreaming!
Were they actually considering the threat posed by the Uchiha clan?
Does he deserve to continue sitting in the Hokage position?
Danzo's single eye was narrowed, radiating a dangerous glint.
The kaleidoscope of still water has been transplanted. Shouldn't we try it out now?
"Hiruzen, Danzo is right."
“I know you’re worried about Baiyun Yeshan, but he’s still alive after all.”
"Currently, the most important thing is to deal with the Uchiha threat. Those Uchiha clansmen who have retired from the battlefield, combined with the Sharingan, possess combat capabilities that the Anbu cannot easily handle."
Xiaochun, who was turning over to sleep, chimed in.
Mitomon Homura, who was sitting to the side, also nodded in agreement.
The sudden rise of that clan to power and its prestige in the Land of Fire made them all feel uneasy.
"Heh, do you know what the first thing Baiyun Yeshan said when he returned and reported his mission?"
"They're asking me, what exactly is the Will of Fire?!"
"He has already guessed some clues. You should also know the consequences of a ninja of this caliber harboring resentment towards the ninja village!"
"Even if we can wipe out the Uchiha clan now, what good will it do? Who will carry on the torch of Konoha and its ideals?"
"Is it about relying on the roots?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly furious.
The anger stemmed from Danzo's two capricious actions that only made things worse and caused chaos.
If Iwagakure really manages to wipe out Shirakumo Hayama's team this time, then he will at most feel sad.
However, this also stifled the Uchiha's momentum from another perspective, and could even be used to transfer that clan to the northern border to seek revenge and absorb the enemy's fighting force.
However, everything came to nothing because Danzo's plan failed.
Yes.
Baiyun Yeshan is back.
His mission team also returned alive.
An elite Jonin, a Jonin—no faction would dare to easily relinquish such power.
but!
When the other person asked what the 'Will of Fire' was, he knew that the other person's belief had begun to waver.
According to secrets brought back by the secret agents.
The old days.
