章 166: Chapter 166, Taking the Initiative!
After the annihilation of the Uchiha Commerce Guild in the Land of Moon, the first to receive the news was not Kumogakure, which was closest to the Land of Moon, but the Senju Commerce Guild, also in the Land of Moon.
And on the day they received the news, Senju Madou reacted immediately.
His intuition told him that this was not a simple attack on the Uchiha.
Therefore, the Senju Commerce Guild in the Land of Moon also faced great danger.
Without any hesitation, Mato quickly recalled the members who were outside, packed up the goods they could take, destroyed the goods they couldn't transport, bid farewell to the ninjas hired from Kumogakure, and set off with his people.
As for the rest, they would discuss it once they returned to the village.
However, a commerce guild composed entirely of ordinary people moved very slowly.
Under the bright moon, a group of over a hundred people had to stop on the rugged road due to the blockade by a dozen individuals.
"Mato-san, what's the matter? Didn't our Kumogakure Village's ninjas protect you well? Why the rush to leave?"
The masked squad leader of Kumogakure's Anbu lazily asked the man in front of him, Senju Mato.
"Is Kumogakure really ready to go to war with Konohagakure?"
Senju Mato looked at the Kumogakure Anbu, calming his emotions before replying coldly.
Even though I'm just an ordinary person.
If they wish, none of us could escape.
But the Senju surname makes it impossible for Senju Mato to beg the man before him for mercy.
Of course, Mato is well aware that even if he begged them, they wouldn't let any of us live.
It seems Kumogakure has made up its mind to go to war with Konohagakure, so even ordinary people like us can't be spared.
"I've always thought that Mato-kun, who can manage such a large commerce in the Land of Moon, must be a smart person."
The squad leader chuckled lightly, shaking his head somewhat helplessly at Senju Mato.
"That's a very unwise question to ask."
The Kumogakure Anbu squad leader slowly raised his right hand, and with a slight movement of two fingers, two Anbu members charged at Senju Mato.
Senju Mato's brow furrowed sharply as he grasped the hilt of his sword and drew it fiercely.
Even as ordinary people, the members of the Senju clan do not die with their backs to the enemy.
"Whoosh!"
Several crimson kunai traced a few gorgeous arcs through the air.
The two Kumogakure Anbu members had no choice but to retreat, and the squad leader's face, hidden under the mask, sank as he turned his head to see a fleeting flash of light.
Senju Mato stared blankly at the familiar Uchiha crest that emerged after the firelight faded, bewildered for quite some time, unable to discern whether the newcomer was friend or foe.
"So the missing squad from Kumogakure's Anbu is all here?"
As the firelight dissipated, Suisei slowly stood up straight, having developed her own Fire Transformation technique based on Raijin's Lightning Transformation.
Of course, Suisei doesn't deny that Lightning Release Elementalization is very good.
But people are different.
Relatively speaking, Suisei is more adept at Fire Release.
And as Suisei finished speaking, members of Konohagakure's police force's third squad also appeared in the night.
"You arrived quite quickly."
The Kumogakure Anbu squad leader sighed helplessly. These Uchiha...
Given the current situation, the people I lead might really not be a match.
Sharingan and such... are truly troublesome...
"I've long heard that Kumogakure's Taijutsu is the best in the shinobi world. Today, the Uchiha have come to test that."
Suisei's chin lifted slightly, and a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan glowed bewitchingly in the night.
A hand slowly raised, and the cold words were spoken calmly.
"Spare no one."
...
Land of Waves, Uchiha Commerce.
"So we just wait here for Team 7 and Shimura Danzo's squad to arrive?"
After hearing Raijin's words, Natsuki nodded and continued to ask Raijin after a moment of contemplation.
"Rather than sitting ducks, why not take the initiative? Captain Natsuki, would you be willing to join me in scouting the movements of Kirigakure at the border?"
Raijin thought for a moment. To pass on intelligence, sending two Chunin from the Uchiha clan using Shadow Clone Jutsu could quickly disseminate the information.
And now that I'm here, it might be better to directly scout Kirigakure's movements. Even if we don't engage them, we can be informed.
"What's the big deal? I'll arrange it."
Uchiha Natsuki chuckled and turned to leave, arranging for two Chunin before approaching Raijin.
"Shall we go?"
Natsuki raised an eyebrow, asking Raijin.
"Let's go!"
Raijin nodded, and in a flash, he and Natsuki vanished from the spot.
"Raijin's Body Flicker Jutsu is quite the spectacle."
On the way, Natsuki said with a laugh.
"Ah... mainly for better escapes."
Raijin replied with a light chuckle, speaking casually.
"Hahaha! In today's ninja world, there aren't many who can make the Thunder Sword Saint of Konohagakure run away."
Uchiha Natsuki laughed heartily. Although Raijin was only a Chunin, his developed Lightning Release technique and the Sage Mode he mastered after three years of training made it impossible for Natsuki to see Raijin as just an ordinary Chunin.
"Hmm? Captain Natsuki, are you saying I won't even have a chance to run away?"
Raijin asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You... you're the complete opposite of your father."
Uchiha Natsuki shook his head with a hint of helplessness but was happy inside.
A genius is always the main force in raising a clan's limits.
"What are you busy with in the village when you're not on missions?"
Natsuki asked Raijin.
"Ah... developing a technique that will let everyone live forever."
Raijin didn't hide it, but he didn't go into too much detail either.
"Oh? Then it seems this war will end sooner. I'm quite looking forward to immortality."
Uchiha Natsuki said with a light laugh.
"Yes, let's end this war quickly. After all, I'm a bit busy."
Raijin said, pursing his lips and speaking softly.
"Although I've always disliked the Senju, cooperating with them makes ending the war not as difficult as one might imagine."
Natsuki said with a chuckle. Even if he disliked the Senju, Uchiha Natsuki had to admit that the Senju were truly strong. As allies, they couldn't be better.
"Who could argue with that?"
Raijin nodded, ready to show the four great hidden villages the power of the forest's myriad forms!
