Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 122 Uchiha Hikaru is very angry

At the foot of the sorrel-covered mountain, there is a small town.

Firefly, along with three other Star Ninjas, disguised themselves as passing travelers and entered the town ahead of time to gather various intelligence.

Uchiha Hikaru walked slowly with Xia Ri, gradually approaching the edge of the town.

"Huh? There's a curry shop in such a remote place." Uchiha Hikaru stopped and looked at a two-story building with a sign that read 'Life Curry House' on the side of the road.

The aroma of curry wafted on the breeze, whetting her appetite.

"Nameless Lord, would you like to stay here?" The red-haired Summer stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"Let's go in and take a look," Uchiha Hikaru said calmly.

She was very confident in her abilities; if she encountered the Kurozuki family here, it would be their bad luck.

"Yes!" Summer followed closely behind.

As the curtain was lifted, a hunched old woman with glasses came out carrying a bucket of water, intending to sprinkle some water on the road to reduce the dust on the ground.

Seeing the two guests approaching, the old woman immediately smiled and said, "Would you two like some curry?"

Summer took the initiative to approach Grandma Shanjiao and started chatting: "Grandma, do you have any special recommendations? We've been traveling all day and are a bit tired."

Grandma Sansho squinted and lifted the curtain to invite the two into the shop: "Life Curry Shop mainly serves curry, of course. If you two don't mind, we also have guest rooms available."

Summer thanked him, lifted the other curtain, and said to Uchiha Hikaru who was walking behind her, "Sir, please."

Hikaru Uchiha shook her head. Natsumi's overly respectful attitude towards her made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After the two entered the store, they found a child busy in the open kitchen.

Upon seeing a guest enter, the child hurriedly ran into the inner room and hid.

"Oh, Liuzhu is a bit timid." Grandma Shanjiao waved her hand and walked into the kitchen with her hunched back.

"The menu is on the wall. Once you two have decided, I can make it right away."

Uchiha Hikaru and Natsumi casually found a seat by the window and sat down.

We also ordered two servings of their signature dish, 'Life Curry'.

"Grandma, is the Sauerkraut Gold Mountain not far from here?" Xia Ri asked, looking at Grandma Shanjiao who was busy in the kitchen.

"Ah, it's just a few kilometers to the south, not far at all." Granny Sansho stirred the curry in the pot as she spoke. "The two ninjas have come about the matter of the Oxalis Gold Mine, haven't they?"

“In the past, the villagers who mined on the sour grass mountain would come to town every two weeks to buy supplies and order a curry from my shop. But for some reason, I haven’t seen them for a long time in the last few months.”

Uchiha Hikaru and Natsumi extracted some key information from their conversation with Granny Sansho.

About three months ago, some changes occurred in the Oxalis Gold Mine. It seems that a group of people moved into the Oxalis Gold Mine under the pretext of protecting the mine and took control of the village and villagers in the mountain.

Every month, someone would come down the mountain to the town to purchase supplies, but instead of the honest miners and villagers of the past, they would come from a group of guys who looked like ninjas. They were very arrogant and caused a lot of trouble in the town.

However, since the opponent was a ninja, ordinary people had no power to resist.

Moreover, the Land of Rivers is a country without ninja villages. The daimyo doesn't care about the lives of his people. If ordinary people encounter such a thing, even if they are killed, they can only swallow their anger.

Whoosh— As the three were chatting, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out from outside.

Summer jumped out of the window and saw a signal flare rising at the foot of the Oxalis Gold Mountain.

"Nameless Lord! It's the red signal flare that Firefly and the others sent out!" Summer looked at Uchiha Hikaru inside the house with a serious expression.

A red signal flare indicates that an encounter and battle has occurred with the enemy, and a request for support is being made.

“Then let’s go.” Uchiha Hikaru, whose mealtime had been interrupted, stood up from the tatami mat and turned slightly to Sansho Granny, who was busy in the kitchen, and said, “Granny, please prepare a few more servings of curry. We’ll definitely be back before it gets cold.”

Uchiha Hikaru, who was starving, was in a bad mood.

"Be careful, young lady." Granny Shan looked at the two female ninjas' departing figures through the window with a worried expression and sighed.

After leaving the Life Curry House, Uchiha Hikaru and Natsumi quickly headed towards the direction from which the signal flare had been launched.

At the same time, Uchiha Hikaru activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, his expression cold yet slightly angry, making even Natsumi, who was standing next to him, a little nervous.

The two quickly arrived at the battle zone.

Behind an abandoned village at the foot of the mountain, there appeared to be a cemetery.

Firefly is leading three Star Ninja in a battle against several enemies using Lightning Release ninjutsu.

"Hehehe, you have helpers too?" A man with long green hair, thick eyebrows, sharp teeth, and bandages wrapped around his upper body, wearing a black vest, let out a morbid laugh.

"Looks like I'll have to dig a few more graves for you guys and then hold a grand funeral!" Raiga Kurosuki's long green hair fluttered in the wind, his dark circles were filled with a crazed look, and there was a scratch on his Kirigakure headband.

Not only Raiga Kurosuki, but also the Kurosuki clan under his command are all rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and they are currently besieging Hotaru and the others.

"Lord Mumei!" Hotaru, who was seriously injured and holding a kunai to resist the attack of the Kurosuki ninja, shouted as soon as he saw his wife Natsumi and Uchiha Hikaru arrive at the battlefield: "The enemy's lightning release ninjutsu is extremely skilled! Be careful!"

"Shut up! As the protagonists of this funeral, you all should be buried in peace!" Kurosuki Raiga raised his Raikou, the Raikou, high, concentrating his lightning chakra and causing dark clouds to gather in the sky.

"Lightning Blade Technique: Lightning Strike!" Kurosuki Raiga laughed wildly and swung his ninja sword down fiercely.

The guided lightning struck the ground, crackling with electricity, and hurtled towards Uchiha Hikaru and Natsumi on the opposite side!

"Fire Release: Kagutsuchi!" The three tomoe in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes spun and converged into a kaleidoscope pattern.

A dark red wall of fire rose from the ground, blocking Uchiha Hikaru and Natsumi, and blocking all the incoming lightning.

Thunder and fire collided, bursting forth with blinding light.

Kagutsuchi is actually a transformation of Amaterasu. Sasuke Uchiha liked to use Kagutsuchi to transform into various forms for attack or defense.

Kagutsuchi, the Kagutsuchi of Uchiha Hikari, is a dojutsu that was sealed in her Mangekyou Sharingan by her clansmen during the Sengoku period. It can also change its form and can even be used on Susanoo. It is extremely powerful in both offense and defense!

After Kagutsuchi's wall of fire blocked the lightning, Uchiha Hikaru quickly broke through, swinging his kunai and colliding with Kurosuki Raiga's lightning blade, Kiba, creating intense sparks.

The moment Kurosuki Raiga saw the Sharingan, his maniacal laughter froze, and he hastily retreated.

"Uchiha?!" Raiga Kurosuki quickly used the Hidden Mist Technique to conceal himself in the mist.

He could never forget the painful lessons of the Third Shinobi World War.
