If someone really dares to attack Uchiha Hadou here, at this time...

That means there's only one reason: they have an extreme, even arrogant, confidence in their own abilities!

They are an incredibly powerful enemy!

As for the possibility that there might be a traitor or accomplice in the village, he didn't think that much about it in his pure way of thinking.

........

Hiss.

A small, colorful snake suddenly emerged from the woman's sleeve, its scarlet forked tongue probing the air, eagerly anticipating the scent of blood in the air.

"What's wrong? Do you want some meatballs too?"

"Da meyo".

Holding a box of three-colored dumplings, Mitarashi Anko shook her cheeks and said, "This is my favorite thing."

However, after truly sensing the summoning beast's intent, she quickly slurped up a dumpling skewered on a wooden stick, dropped the box in her hand, and ran towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

........

"Damn it, those bastards from Iwagakure are disgusting. They're willing to sacrifice ninja lives to clear a path."

As he stuffed grilled meat into his mouth, Kuno scoffed dismissively.

He looked somewhat disheveled, with bandages wrapped around his body in several places.

The suicidal reprisals by Iwagakure over the past month have left the ninjas stationed on the northern border exhausted; they had only returned from their shift yesterday.

"If Huang were here, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred."

Kimura said softly.

Even as a support ninja specializing in mental abilities, he had sustained numerous injuries. However, it was clear that this guy had undergone a substantial transformation in just one month.

No longer naive, no longer taciturn, his eyes now reflect both protection and indifference.

Upon hearing this name, all three people at the table fell silent.

Yes.

The Konoha squad was still composed of four people, but after that person, no other ninja was able to easily join them.

Suddenly, a familiar chakra surge swept across the street not far away.

As Shirakumo Hayama silently drank his sake, his arm trembled slightly, and a little sake spilled out.

"I go out for a while."

His expression remained unchanged, and his words were calm.

But in his heart, there was a turmoil that he could not calm down.

because!

That's the aura of desolation!

Such a surging, frenzied atmosphere is just like that day on the northern border, when the other side attracted all the foreign enemies with his own figure!

Could it be?

Could it be that he is like this now?!

After saying that, Baiyun Yeshan resolutely walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

A shadow rose in his eyes.

"team leader!"

"Don't forget us."

However, behind him came the sound of tables and chairs being moved, accompanied by a firm call.

Baiyun Yeshan stopped and slowly turned his gaze away.

What came into view was Tekuno's innocent smile, but beneath that smile lay a barely suppressed murderous intent.

Kimura, now free of youthful naiveté, remained silent, but bit his lower lip tightly, his resolute gaze saying it all.

"Something must have happened to Huang."

Tekuno said, suppressing his emotions.

Some high-ranking officials shouldn't treat everyone like fools!

Within a month, the words "liar," "cunning," and "vicious" uttered by those Iwagakure ninjas had already given them a clue.

It was not said.

It is because of the need to maintain that seemingly vigorous will of fire.

Baiyun Yeshan did not answer.

I don't know how to answer.

"Take me with you, Captain."

"I still owe him two lives."

Tekuno added softly.

........

Outside, the piercing alarm bells arrived just in time.

Chapter 75 Two Paths: What's Your Choice?

The hazy moonlight shone on the cold stone slab.

The area was deserted; not only were there no human voices, but even the chirping of birds and insects could not be heard along this path.

'tread.'

No.

With the sudden sound of footsteps, followed by the piercing alarm, the eerie silence was shattered in that instant.

"It's Huang!"

A startled whisper rang out from the shadows.

"impossible!"

"Lord Danzo has arranged for four Jonin squads to wait for him!"

"How could that brat possibly be here?"

Immediately, voices of rejection rang out.

They are Root ninjas guarding the road to the Uchiha clan. In addition to being responsible for eliminating any escapees from that clan, they are also responsible for maintaining the barrier technique!

"It really is him! How is this possible?"

As the man approached, the faces beneath the white masks turned to astonishment and fear.

Even if they come from underground roots!

Even though they have almost completely abandoned all human emotions!

But it is precisely because of this that these 'death warriors' who have stained their hands with blood and have devoted everything to Konoha by any means necessary are filled with fear.

Because executing a task at the root level has only two consequences:

Success or death!

Unless it is a seed that Danzo truly values, there would be absolutely no tolerance for it.

You should know that they were selected from hundreds of candidates!

The final trial task involved personally killing one's best friend during the assessment, a ruthless ordeal almost identical to the one in the Blood Mist.

The four fully-equipped Jonin squads will not retreat!

We will not allow Huang to reach this place!

So there's only one possible outcome: all those who were nominally his comrades have perished in battle!

"What do we do, Captain!"

An urgent inquiry rang out.

The desolation arrived far too quickly.

In just a moment, it traversed most of the distance from the edge of the field of vision.

"Let him in!"

"This guy is not a problem for us to worry about."

Once they had recovered, the root squad leader quickly issued orders.

If even those four skilled squads are wiped out, then what difference would it make if they went to meet them again?

After making this decision, a strange sense of relief lingered in his heart, along with a strong feeling of powerlessness.

After becoming true Root ninjas, when have they ever been so timid and frustrated during missions?

Especially since the other party is just a ten-year-old kid!

'Isolating the Uchiha clan from the outside world is our team's mission.'

This is the only reason he can use to convince himself.

Huang naturally noticed the presence of the four people.

But he had no interest in paying attention to it now, and charged straight through the torn barrier.

However, when they actually set foot on this land belonging to the Uchiha, they hesitated.

Two paths lie before me:

One road leads to the clan's territory, and the other leads to the Konoha Police Department.

Upon arriving in the wilderness, he rushed towards the direction of his clan's territory without the slightest hesitation.
