Chapter 137 Arriving home
Three tails felt a little bit regretful.
The previous promise to live in Giyu's body, now that I think about it, may have been a bit hasty.
Before it went to sleep yesterday, it was dusk, and Giyu had just left the Shikkotsu Forest, the holy land of Great Slug Sage in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
But now that Three Tails woke up, it was already dark for most of the new day, and Giyu was already outside the walls of Konoha.
Katsuya made it very clear: it would take nearly two days to get from Uzushio Village to Konoha.
What's more, starting from the remote Shikkotsu Forest, there is still an extra distance to be calculated.
However, it only took a short nap, and Giyu had already reached his destination.
It can be seen that its new Jinchuriki does not understand what rest is at all...
You must know that the ninja extracting chakra from the cells of the body is a kind of oppression on himself.
If they don't get a good rest, it will be difficult for them to stay healthy for a long time. There is a reason why those ninjas who have been gifted since childhood always die young.
[ I'm afraid he won't live long if this continues...]
Thinking of this, Three tails rolled around in a depressed state of mind, as if It had just found a good and affordable house, only to find out that the landlord not only had lung cancer but also liked to smoke.
I know clearly that the current situation is extremely good, but It's just can't be maintained for a long time.
This feeling is very difficult even for the tailed beast.
[No, we can't go on like this. ]
[Although I don't like to fight, it's time to fight for myself...]
Three tails thought for a while and decided to take the initiative to play some role so that the landlord could live a few more years.
Outside, Giyu was running very fast along the wall. When he was about to reach the barrier near the Naka River, a force suddenly surged out of his abdomen.
The warm feeling of fullness was centered there and continuously radiated to his limbs, greatly relieving him from the fatigue caused by rushing all day and night. He felt as energetic as if he had drunk a ton of energy drinks.
"Isobu?"
Giyu, who was running quickly, stopped and asked with some confusion, "Don't you still have one-third of your body that needs to be restored?"
[Why are you giving me chakra at this time?]
"This..."
Three tails's muffled voice rang in Giyu's mind: "Before you put me in, that kid who can use wood release like Senju Hashirama, told me to let you remind from time to time..."
Giyu blinked. The person three tails is talking about should be Kocho Shinobu.
"If you don't rest, you will always face the enemy in a tired state, and problems will occur sooner or later."
Giyu had already imagined the scene when Kocho Shinobu told the three tails.
But in fact, this didn't happen.
The reason why Three tails said this was because when it was placed in the kettle, it heard the conversation between Kocho Shinobu and Rengoku Kyojuro, and it didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
But in Giyu's mental space, it could feel the faint guilt that remained in Giyu's heart after he had to leave and broke his promise to Kocho Shinobu.
So based on what it thought, if it said this through the girl's mouth, it would have the greatest impact on Giyu.
Sure enough, Giyu hesitated.
He didn't expect that Kocho Shinobu's medical advice could be relayed to him despite being so far apart.
[What a very responsible doctor. ]
"I know. Then I will rest for a day and then go find trouble with Danzo."
Kyuubi's clone was automatically released as soon as Giyu returned to the mainland, so he did not know the current situation in the village.
He thought for a moment, and there were many things to do in the next few days. Danzo's matters could really be put off for a while - handing over the Sharingan collected by Orochimaru to the shrine's priest, holding a funeral, and letting the clan members rest in peace.
Back at Ninja School, I still had three days of absence from school and no summer homework to hand in to explain.
Investigate information about Uchiha Madara, as well as Orochimaru's cursed seal and possible resurrection.
Of course, the most important thing...
is that Giyu misses his family and desperately wants to reunite with them.
Although they had only been separated for less than half a month, it felt like they hadn't seen each other for months. This is a new experience for Giyu that he had never felt before.
Kocho Shinobu's judgment was correct. Opening his Sharingan whenever he was awake and switching his breathing method to the moon breathing that can make his spirit active at night did make him aware of the strange emotions that he had suppressed in the past.
This nostalgia for family affection is one of them. The closer I got to home, the stronger the burning feeling in my heart became.
Of course, after Giyu's perception of emotions is expanded, there will be good consequences, and there will also be bad consequences.
Giyu with the Sharingan will inevitably become more like the rest of his clan in temperament, and will occasionally be irritated by things he didn't care much about in the past.
Anyway.
Giyu came to the edge of the Naka River barrier while talking with Three Tails in his mind.
Just when Giyu was about to use his hand seals to pass through the barrier, he keenly noticed that the surrounding environment seemed different from the past.
Under the scanning of Sharingan, even in dim light, the traces of changes are still obvious.
"Why don't you leave?"
Three tails, who was communicating with Giyu, realized something was wrong, "Is there any problem?"
"Yes. Before I went to the Kingdom of Water this time, I often came in and out from here, so I didn't care about the grass nearby. The trees are familiar..."
Giyu said that when he was training at Naka River Falls, he would pass by it almost every day.
He squatted down and pressed a bunch of weeds on the ground with his fingers. "It is obviously the sunniest time in summer, but the short plants are lying on the ground... It must be because there are many people walking here and trampling on them."
He picked up the things. He picked up a broken plant rhizome and touched the fracture. A drop of green juice stuck to his fingertips.
"And not long ago."
[Are They clansmen? ]
Giyu observed the surroundings. After all, this is Uchiha's territory.
Judging from the area of fallen vegetation, there were at least dozens of people passing by here before, and it was unlikely that they were small groups of Anbu.
But if it were clansmen, why did such a large number take action?
An intuitive uneasiness took root in Giyu's heart like a thorn.
[Could it be that during this period, Uchiha had another conflict with the village? ]
There was a hint of worry in his purple-red Sharingan eyes. He stopped thinking and immediately formed a seal and stepped into the barrier. He suddenly turned into a red arc and shot into the distance, eager to verify his guess.
Time goes back to the Uchiha clan not long ago.
"Have you found Them?"
Uchiha Tekka, the deputy captain of the security team, stood at the door of Fugaku's house and asked the security team members who had rushed back from various places.
"I've been to Shisui's residence, but there's no one there."
"I asked the vendors near the Hokage Building, and they all said they didn't see them, so they shouldn't be there either."
"The teacher at the Ninja School said that Sasuke wasn't happy at the welcome ceremony. After they dispersed, He was taken away directly by Mrs. Mikoto, and they have not been seen again since."
One of the older clan members was sweating profusely and panting, and concluded: "In short, in the entire Konoha, there is no place to look for. We have searched all over. Some juniors also asked their friends in the Hyuga clan for help, but there is still no trace of Mrs. Mikoto, Itachi and Sasuke. It is as if they disappeared out of thin air."
Young uchiha clan members who graduated in the past three years all have one distinctive feature from other clan members, that is, they all have many friends outside of their own clan, which is not surprising to Uchiha Tekka.
"If even Byakugan can't find them..."
Uchiha Tekka pressed his brows tightly, pinched and slowly opened his palms.
"Either they are no longer in the village, or they were taken to a place where they can be isolated from Byakugan's detection."
[Of course, there is also the possibility that Hyuga's people are deliberately lying...]
In this current situation, any Outsiders cannot be trusted.
"Captain Tekka."
A group of security team members exchanged nervous glances: "What should we do if something like this happens?"
"Nonsense, of course we need to get Mrs. Mikoto back!"
A young man punched the girl hard. On the wall, "The person who secretly kidnapped Uchiha is obviously going to break up! No matter who it is, he must pay the price for it!"
"It's easy to say, where should we find them, how should we find them, Do you know who did this? "
"What do you mean, are you waiting for the old Hokage to come back and seek justice? His absence at this time makes it extremely suspicious no matter how you think about it. Maybe this is part of the village's conspiracy."
" That's right! I think we can just gather all the clan members and break into the Sarutobi clan's territory. Maybe we can find them."
"Idiot. Shisui and the clan leader, the two strongest Uchiha, are not here. Can we succeed at this time?"
"It's better than doing nothing! Just thinking about it makes you feel useless!"
The security team members glared at the Sharingan, and they were quarreling with each other. At the same time, as the superior and elder Uchiha Tekka had to call a halt.
"That's enough! Can those words just now be said here?"
He cursed in a low voice and glanced pointedly in the direction of the Hyuga clan, and the security team members all shut up.
Every older clan member knows that there is a special department in ANBU that has been monitoring Uchiha's every move with high-powered telescopes.
Those people are proficient in lip reading, and even if they cannot hear the sound, they can still know what they are saying by the shape of their lips. Therefore, when experienced clansmen speak, they usually turn their backs to that direction.
What's more, the mansions of the Hyuga clan are not far away.
After the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Hokage and his advisors specifically classified the Uchiha clan next to the Hyuga clan with Byakugan. Is this a coincidence?
"Fugaku told me before he left that if he doesn't come back before 12 o'clock, let us take action."
Uchiha Tekka pondered for a while, "But judging from the current situation, Mrs. Mikoto, Sasuke and Itachi, There is a high probability that They have been caught and will probably be used to threaten Fugaku. It can be seen that no matter who wants to deal with us, they should have a plan."
The security team members nodded in agreement.
" You go and notify all the clan members with three tomoe to gather at Naka River Shrine in a quarter of an hour. If we wait any longer, the situation will only become more passive, so we must prepare a countermeasure or assign our respective tasks."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the team members dispersed and rushed in all directions.
It is said that the Uchiha clan is so big that there is no place where they can hold meetings.
But under heavy surveillance, the sealed Naka River Shrine became the last pure land of the clan.
For many years, whenever the clan encountered difficulties from the village, they would gather there to secretly discuss countermeasures. However, in recent years, the relationship between the two parties has gradually eased, so they have used it less.
Uchiha people have always been vigorous and resolute.
A total of thirty-eight three tomoe clan members soon arrived at the front of Naka Shrine.
However, in order to express respect for the deceased, from the moment they stepped into the first torii gate, all the clan members only stepped on the stairs at a normal speed, and every face looked very appropriate and heavy.
The idea of "rebellion", which had not been mentioned for several years, suddenly revived, and even suddenly reached the point where the arrow had to be fired, which made most of the clan feel a little unprepared.
Shisui, known as the number one master of Uchiha, has not yet returned, and the clan leader is left in the Hokage Building unaware of the situation. Once action is taken, no one can make an accurate judgment on the chances of winning.
Even if they are as arrogant and arrogant as they are, they cannot see clearly the future even a few hours later with their Sharingan.
Uchiha Tekka was the first to reach the top of the steps, and was not surprised to see the shrine door closed.
This is not the normal time for worship. The shrine's master and servants are ordinary people. It's almost time to rest as soon as it gets dark, and it's normal for the shrine to be closed.
"I'm going to knock on the door."
A young clansman in his twenties immediately walked to the door, grabbed the knocker and started knocking.
Soon, footsteps sounded from inside, and it seemed like someone was walking to the door. But for some reason, the other party made no move to open the door.
"Is the Lord God still awake?" The young clansman shouted: "Although it is a little late, please open the door. Everyone is waiting outside the door..."
Before he finished speaking, the huge dark red wooden door was suddenly covered in blue arcs of electricity, and the crackling sound was noisy and harsh.
A few meters away, Uchiha Tekka's pupils shrank and he shouted loudly: "Go back!"
But his warning was too late.
The young clansmen never thought that they would be attacked in the pure land of the clan.
Blue electricity surged into his body through the metal door knocker and wreaked havoc, leaving him unable to move and his hair curling. He lost consciousness in less than two seconds.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tekka saw angrily that a thick and dark arm burst out from the door.
The huge palm tightly grasped the head of the young clansman and pulled him in. The force was so strong that it knocked out a large irregular hole in the shrine door.
The next moment, Uchiha Tekka saw blue thunder and lightning gathering on the man's legs through the doorway, and immediately guessed the other party's plan.
The hard wooden door of the shrine was completely destroyed by the thunderous blow, turning into countless sharp and small fragments and attacking the Uchihas on the stairs.
"Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"
Uchiha Tekka was ready, and the seal was completed instantly. Before the debris hit him, he opened his mouth and spit out a
fireball - a fireball the size of a human head?!!!
[what happened? ]
As a Jonin, how could he make a mistake with a basic fire release like FireBall?
Even if he made a mistake, with so much chakra, how could the fireball he spit out be only the size of the Phoenix Fire Jutsu?
The mistake just now left him no time to think too much, and the dynamic vision of Sharingan played its due role.
The flying fragments slowed down in the field of vision...
Uchiha Tekka completed the dodge in a hurry, successfully dodging all the fragments that hit his vital parts, but the arms, thighs and calves used to cover the torso were intensively inserted with lots of wood thorns.
"Hmph. It seems those dark bugs really didn't lie to us."
A rough voice sounded, and the remaining door of the shrine was kicked, making a loud noise when it hit the ground.
"An Uchiha who can't use Fire Release is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. He is not a threat at all."
Before the Uchiha clan members could attack, fourteen more figures jumped onto the Naka Shrine from inside. wall. It seemed that they had been waiting inside for a long time.
These people were all muscular, brown and black, tall and tough, and they were looking down at the frightened and angry Uchiha people on the steps.
Among them, the strong man under the porch should be their leader. He is more than two meters tall.
"Uchiha Tekka, long time no see. You look much better than before."
He only wore half of his clothes on his upper body, exposing his muscles as hard as steel. As he spoke, he held the young clansman's head with one hand, making the young clansman' hang in the air like a salted fish. It's just that this sturdy man's head is not only bald, but also has obvious burn marks.
"Mosui!"
Uchiha Tekka used kunai to clean away the wooden thorns on his arms that affected his movement, and asked in a cold voice:
"Why do these Kumogakure ninjas appear in Konoha? How dare they hurt our people and destroy Uchiha's shrine!"
As soon as he said this, the other thirty-seven pairs of three tomoe Sharingan burst out with ferocious red light at the same time, and the veins on their foreheads bulged out like small swimming snakes.
Except for Senju Tobirama who destroyed the old site with his water release, the Uchiha clan had never been so offended before!
"The world of ninjas is a world where you can get ahead only if you dare to think and do."
The giant ninja named Mosui mocked: "You so-called bullshit ninja world's largest clan are really degenerate."
"We people are fighting outside. While you are training yourself, you are working as a security guard in a resort-like place with peace of mind. For this reason, there is no living person in your clan that we dare not kill. As for the shrine altar where the dead live, there is no need to worry."
"Is there any powerful dead Uchiha who will come out and teach us a lesson? Hahahahaha, don't laugh to death..."
With this person taking the lead, all the Kumogakure ninjas are as big as bandits in the mountains laugh it out. It was especially outrageous to do this in a shrine that honors the dead.
"The frog in the well! Don't forget how you got the scar on your head."
Uchiha Tekka suppressed his anger and did not attack rashly, but he was already on the verge of breaking out.
"Do you think that by setting a trap so that we can't use Fire Release, we have no way to deal with you?"
"Have you seen these eyes? This is the foundation of our clan! As for Fire Release... Remember one thing, it is Fire Release that is famous for us Uchiha, not Uchiha who is famous for Fire Release. "
His Sharingan glanced at these Kumogakure ninjas one by one, hiding the vigilance in his heart with his contemptuous gaze.
"There are only a dozen rotten fish and shrimps. You are too naive to think that you can stop us by laying traps."
"A dozen or so is a little less."
Mosui touched his bumpy bald head, the muscles on his face were horribly twisted into a ball due to the smile.
"I remember when you Konoha used animals to describe the ninjas of the five major countries, you said this…"
" Konohagakure ninja is as vibrant as an elephant; the crazy and bloodthirsty Kirigakure Ninja is like a shark; the Sand Ninja is as vicious and sinister as a scorpion; The Iwagakure ninja bullies the smaller ones like a hyena; the Kumogakure ninja is domineering like a lion. "
When Uchiha Tekka heard this, he suddenly had a strong feeling of something bad.
"Although I don't really agree with this sentence. However, if you want to hunt elephants, how can you do it without bringing along some hyenas and lions? "
Mosui flicked his hand and threw the young clansman into the threshold of the shrine behind him like trash. Then he asked loudly: "Everyone in Iwagakure Ninja Village, do you think what I said is right? "
[What?]
[And Iwagakure Ninja?]
Surprised expressions bloomed on the faces of each Uchiha.
As Mosui's voice spread, fifteen figures rose from the ground on both sides of the shrine stairs. Wearing the Iwagakure Ninja uniform, but not wearing a forehead protector.
Different from the unruly eyes of the strong Kumogakure Ninjas, each of these Iwagakure Ninjas rising from the earth had eyes that were slowly burning like substance. The fire of revenge.
There were also fifteen Kumogakure ninjas who jumped out from the forest in the distance and blocked the end of the stairs.
A total of sixty people surrounded thirty-eight Uchihas from all sides. On the stairs in front of a shrine.
[Why did Iwagakure Ninja come here? What do the barrier classes in Konoha do? And they said they have been colluding together for a long time?]
Uchiha Tekka's brain was spinning crazily and he waved his hand. He signaled the clansmen to divide into four sides to face the enemy, and generally asked the strong man on the top of the porch: "So, these people are here for revenge? "
"They are indeed here for revenge. "
The strong man clenched his fists and made a sardonic smile: "It's just that these bumpkins are afraid that they can't do it, so they invite us to take a share of the pie. As long as your clan is wiped out, it's hard to say whether Konoha will still be the leader of the five great ninja villages. "
" Kumogakure Ninja, stop talking nonsense there! Deal with them quickly! "
A ninja on the Iwagakure ninja side interrupted him, and then glared at the Uchiha opposite and shouted loudly: "What Uchiha Shisui did to us, I want you to repay a thousand times! After today, your cancer-like bloodline will be completely cut off from this world! "
After the words fell, he didn't say any more nonsense. Many Iwagakure ninjas quickly formed seals with their hands and clapped their hands on the ground: "Earth Release: Underground Split! "
The ground began to shake. The bluestone slabs that had been trampled by the Uchihas for decades seemed to have lost their support and collapsed and fractured one after another.
Under the stairs, a dark pit actually appeared.
And at such a close distance, there were so many rocks. The ninjutsu unleashed by Shinobu was too strong, and several Uchiha who were inexperienced in combat fell down on the spot. The rest were looking for opportunities to gain a foothold and counterattack among the falling steps. However, the Kumogakure ninjas had been waiting for a long time.
The bird struggling in the air with no way to hide is undoubtedly the best target.
"This is a technique I learned from your Konoha torture! In order not to hurt your eyes, use something larger. "
As he said that, the leader of the Kumogakure Ninja used another Kumogakure Ninja at the end of the stairs to throw a super large shuriken at the Uchiha people at the same time, and then formed seals simultaneously.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique! "
The Two eighty-centimeter-wide shurikens suddenly increased nearly a hundred times, and they attacked the Uchihas from both sides like a pterosaur preying on prey.
"Wind Release:Cast Net. "
Uchiha Tekka completed the seal in mid-air, and the cyan air flow formed a huge spider web, rotating towards the overwhelming shurikens curtain in front of him, cutting them into small pieces that were not threatening.
But on the other side, no clan member could resist the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, and their most skilled fire release was completely ineffective.
Even with the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, It is too late to dodge. They can't dodge without a foothold, while they are in the air.
Uchiha Tekka thought pessimistically, when he thought that at least seven or eight clan members would die from this -
"Fourth Form..."
A Uchiha clansman's eyes were dazzled. The short figure appeared out of nowhere and happened to step on the giant shuriken that was about to cut them in half. While changing its trajectory, he stood firmly on it and waved. He took out the transparent thin blade in his hand.
"Striking Tide. "
The light blue water curtain appeared out of thin air, like a slap from the sea god, knocking all the shurikens back at a faster speed, accompanied by a suffocating terrifying wave.
The water waves swept the shurikens and rushed towards The team of Kumogakure ninjas who reached the end of the stairs suddenly turned red.
