It is the family that I promised to protect to Shisui and Yashiro.

These words immediately made Naoki raise his eyes.

He felt uneasy, worried that this was just a perfunctory response from the other party.

However, the boy in sight had a calm expression, without any other emotions or even a mocking attitude.

"Yes, wasteland."

"No, Chieftain."

Naoki stood up as instructed, and her mind began to calm down.

This is desolation!

An existence that terrifies Kirigakure and that Iwagakure specifically demands!

Upon hearing this unauthorized change of address, Huang couldn't help but frown slightly.

I don't think I agreed to anything else.

“From the moment you were willing to protect this clan, you were already fulfilling your duties as clan leader. At least, you are better than that person.”

"Moreover, there is really no one in the clan who can take on such a responsibility."

Uchiha Naki's voice was somewhat forlorn, and his expression gradually turned sorrowful. He recalled his elders who had desperately tried to leave him with the hope of life, and he thought of his deceased comrades and clansmen.

Overnight, he seemed to have become a different person.

He is no longer the boy who wore his pride on his face.

"I see."

"Then I will assume the duties of the clan leader for now."

"We'll discuss this matter again once a more suitable candidate emerges within the clan."

Ara suddenly remembered his first Servant, a girl not much older than him, who had long since taken on the task of revitalizing the Fuuma clan.

She once said:

I don't really like it this way.

'Because this would lack deterrent effect within the tribe.'

Now I can truly feel what the other person is feeling.

"Yes, Chieftain."

A look of joy flashed in Uchiha Naki's eyes.

The fact that Huang agreed to this was the best news he had heard in recent days.

"By the way, clan leader, be careful of the Konoha higher-ups."

Suddenly, Naoki's face darkened again.

"Upon learning of the changes that have occurred in my clan, Kirigakure and Iwagakure, located on the eastern and northern borders of the Land of Fire, simultaneously launched an attack on Konoha, demanding that Konoha hand you over, and threatening to start a war if you do not agree."

"Especially Fog Shadow Village, I don't know why they've become so eager!"

"The two advisors are willing to agree, as Konoha cannot afford to fight on two fronts at present."

"However, due to the rejections of Shirakumo Hayama-senpai, Hatake Kakashi-senpai, and the head of the Yamanaka clan, the Third Hokage did not immediately respond to these two forces."

"The envoy from Iwagakure has arrived in Konoha and is discussing this matter. Senior Shirakumo Hayama and Senior Tekuno have already gone there."

"As for Kirigakure, there seems to be no sign of them wanting to negotiate."

Because Shirakumo Hayama and Kakashi had both appeared that night to help their clan, Naki had a good impression of them.

"Well, I see."

Huang's voice remained calm.

It's understandable that Kirigakure wants him so badly.

After all, that force was no longer purely within the Blood Mist; it was merely a puppet in Obito's hands.

But the chieftain of the mountain tribe?

I don't seem to have any interaction with him.

To be more precise, there was absolutely no interaction between them.

If it were the head of the Nara clan speaking on his behalf, then there would be some basis for it.

"In the near future, do not go out on missions. Not only you, but the entire clan should not leave Konoha."

"The clan's funds should be enough to last for a while, and I'll figure something out later."

Huang added.

Based on the information we have, Danzo, whose plans were disrupted, was probably unable to collect the Sharingan. Therefore, he must have had even bigger schemes against these remaining new recruits.

Even if the other party shirks all responsibility on the surface, even if the Third Hokage terminates the existence of Root under the pretext of negligence in management, how can that old guy's power be easily eradicated?

Furthermore, because of this clan annihilation incident, no matter what happens, the other party will definitely shift all the blame onto Itachi.

"But Chieftain..."

Naoki immediately wanted to say something.

First, it's simply unimaginable for the tribe to hand over all its living expenses to Huang; second, they can't just do nothing and rely entirely on Huang to pave the way.

"If you want me to temporarily take this position, then choose to trust me."

"Strive to improve your own strength and protect your people; that is what you need to do most."

"Leave the rest to me."

Huang responded with unusual force.

Once my strength is restored, many problems will be easily solved.

As for the demands from both sides, he wasn't actually that worried.

Because of the presence of 'spots'.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi had not yet gotten what he wanted from his mouth.

Furthermore, the old man from Iwagakure Village harbored an indelible fear of this name.

Kirigakure alone cannot pose a significant deterrent.

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."

"I will definitely pass on your orders."

Nai-shu nodded in reply.

Huang is right.

If one cannot fully trust the other party, how can one accept them as the clan leader?

At the same time, a stage task appears on the panel:

The Revival of the Uchiha Clan

Mission Description: The Uchiha clan, having survived the night of their massacre, are trapped in a quagmire from which they cannot escape. Please lead them out of this desperate situation.

Condition for achievement: Eliminate the shadow of the Uchiha clan and lead them to a new life. (No specific achievement criteria)

Quest Reward: King of Ditchin - Mountain Wind.

Task status: Not achieved

Perhaps Chapter 91 is a bit more subtle?

"How about it, you brat?"

"Aren't you going to praise me?"

Qing proudly tilted her little head back, her tiny, bean-sized eyes fixed on the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.

"Thank you."

Huang Yi revealed what he had said.

Shock flickered in his eyes.

'Kaleidoscope Sharingan!'

'The thing inside that bottle was... the Mangekyou Sharingan!'

He truly hadn't expected that the surprise Qing mentioned would be Uchiha Fugaku's eyes!

"Thank you so much."

Huang added.

With these eyes, it means I can summon a lord-level yokai on par with Yuki-onna, Hyakume-ki!

Such assistance is undoubtedly enormous for them at present!

Most importantly, the other party is also skilled in eye techniques.

So, after the ghostly entanglement...

However, Ara did not choose to immediately summon spirits, because summoning talismans do not have the ability to form contracts, and in his current state, it is unlikely that he could have a 'friendly' exchange with a lord-level great demon.

Of course, this time they not only obtained the summoning materials for Hyakume, but also another great yokai:

【The Root of Calamity: The Human-Faced Tree】

The monster's description: It was once a towering tree that blocked out the scorching sun and sheltered from the torrential rain, providing firewood for the surrounding villagers.

It has been revered as a 'sacred tree' since some unknown time, and people make devout wishes to it.

But it was just an ordinary giant tree.

The villagers, unable to fulfill their wishes, began to harbor resentment and started wantonly destroying the 'sacred tree'.

Ultimately, endless resentment and tears of blood transformed it into a demon, causing it to bloom with a blood-red flower that foretells calamity.
