Meanwhile, on the other side.
Land of Hot Springs, Capital City, Hot Mist City.
The continuous wars have shattered the peaceful dreams of the people in the Land of Hot Springs.
The hot spring bathhouses, which should have been open, now have their doors tightly shut. The sheltered areas of the streets are filled with refugees, barely clothed and shivering.
The cold wind bites, piercing and bone-chilling.
In front of an unremarkable izakaya (Japanese pub).
Uchiha Seiichiro, with a panicked expression, his face pale and covered in dust, eyes bloodshot, stared intently at the corner of the street.
He didn't dare to blink, afraid of missing something.
Until, A man with a stern face, dressed in a deep blue robe, stepped calmly in wooden sandals into Seiichiro's line of sight.
Seiichiro let out a sigh of relief, exhausted and anxious, calling out, "Captain Fugaku!"
"Oh, it's Seiichiro." Uchiha Fugaku's gaze was calm, showing no surprise.
On his way, he had already investigated, and the Neko-Nin Clan had provided him with information.
He had a good idea of what had happened in the Land of Hot Springs.
"Captain Fugaku, our squad was attacked by Kumogakure at the border. Elder, Elder, he, and Uchiha Shi, they are in grave danger."
Seiichiro's mind was in turmoil, as if countless ants were gnawing at him. He called out urgently, "Captain Fugaku, please, send reinforcements quickly!"
"I'm afraid if we wait any longer, they might—"
Uchiha Fugaku nodded calmly, waving his hand.
"I understand."
"Go and rest for now."
"What? How can I rest at a time like this? He, he saved my life, I, I can't—"
Hearing this, Uchiha Seiichiro's eyes turned red, and he spoke anxiously, disregarding the hierarchy.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at him, furrowing his brow slightly.
Seiichiro was clearly on edge, having not slept for a night.
He had rushed here like a bulldozer, covering a distance that should have taken half a day in just half the time, arriving before it was dark.
His body was already at its limit.
Fugaku shook his head, not saying much, just waving his hand at Seiichiro and saying calmly, "Go and rest."
At that moment, a figure flashed in front of the door, kneeling before Uchiha Fugaku and reported, "Captain, we have found Uchiha Shi's whereabouts."
However, the Uchiha clan member reporting this looked troubled and embarrassed, "However, that place is now controlled by the Evil God Sect. Only the Leaf Village Anbu knows the detailed information. I contacted the Anbu here, but they said—"
"They refused to disclose any information."
"What?!" Uchiha Seiichiro couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shi, is he now with the Evil God Sect?"
"Those people, they are all madmen, and they are currently capturing ninjas and children."
"How could this happen, how could this happen!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Seiichiro's voice trembled with sobs.
In the chaotic situation in the Land of Hot Springs, there are certain people you should avoid.
First, the Mist Hidden Village Hunter-nin.
Second, the Uchiha forces stationed in Hell Valley.
Third, the newly emerged Evil God Sect.
This new religion is quite mysterious, with an unpredictable presence, and its doctrines spread rapidly with extremely radical beliefs.
Its creed is 'You must kill everyone around you!' and their crimes and cruel methods are too numerous to list! (Refer to: *The Book of the Fallen*)
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes narrowed slightly, deep in thought. After a moment, he nodded and responded in a deep voice, "I understand."
Then, Fugaku waved his hand, dismissing his subordinate to rest, and entered the izakaya alone, lifting the curtain.
Uchiha Seiichiro, seeing his unmoved reaction, stared blankly.
"Captain Fugaku, what did you say?"
His face twisted, a surge of anger rising within him, his whole body trembling.
"Just knowing?"
"You have already received Shi's information, what are you doing now?"
"Are you just going to sit here and wait for someone to bring you a drink?"
Uchiha Seiichiro's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why? Why aren't you taking action? Do you have to wait until the slaughter begins and clan members die before you feel anything?"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned, glancing at him, not angry, but calmly said, "You heard it, that place is now under the control of the Evil God Sect."
Uchiha Seiichiro couldn't help but retort, "But, that's Shi!"
"Uchiha Shi, is he that special?" Fugaku's gaze sharpened, studying Seiichiro's expression, but his tone remained calm.
"From what I know, he should just be an ordinary genin, right?"
"Besides, the current situation in the Land of Hot Springs, you should be aware, Seiichiro. What's wrong with you?"
"The Seiichiro from the past wouldn't say such things."
Uchiha Seiichiro's mind was a jumbled mess, standing there in a daze.
"I, I—"
But the next moment, he thought of the young man who had pushed him out of the deathtrap, facing the Kumogakure jonin alone. He clenched his teeth and balled his fists tightly!
"Fine!"
"If you won't go to save him!"
"Then I, I, will go save him myself!"
"I will save Uchiha Shi!"
Uchiha Seiichiro gritted his teeth, his mind racing with thoughts, unable to stop the flood of emotions:
That young man, he is now alone in the Evil God Sect, Facing loneliness, fear, and helplessness, He might be on the altar, about to be sacrificed cruelly by the sect members.
I have escaped once, I can't escape again this time!
Uchiha Fugaku watched Seiichiro turn and head out alone, his eyebrows raising in surprise.
After Uchiha Shisui and Elder Uchiha Shun, now, Another person is willing to risk their life for this mysterious young man.
Uchiha Shi, What kind of power does he have? How can he make these people, who are usually at odds, go to such lengths for him?
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't understand, but he decided to see this child for himself.
Bathed in the brilliant sun, He stepped out of the izakaya and coldly ordered to the empty corner, "Let's follow him."
In the next instant, seven or eight pairs of crimson eyes suddenly lit up and vanished from their spots.

Meanwhile, Outside Hot Mist City, a group of Root members leaped to a pale-faced young man.
Kneeling on one knee, he presented a scroll with both hands.
"Lord Orochimaru, this is the scroll containing the gathered information on the Evil God Sect."
"The person you are looking for should be at this location."
With long black hair, golden elongated pupils, purple eyeliner extending to his nostrils, pale skin, and blueish jade earrings, This person is none other than one of the Three Great Shinobi of the Leaf, Orochimaru.
Orochimaru extended his tongue, licking the corner of his mouth, a glint of excitement in his narrow eyes.
"Good."
"Prohibited Techniques: Body Transformation, Immortality, and the Blood Dragon Eye for Ultimate Metabolism of Body Tissue."
"The Land of Hot Springs is truly full of interesting things now."
