I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

The girl's voice was filled with self-blame.

The initial shock he felt wasn't just because Uchiha Ara, who had brought irreversible disaster to Konoha, had appeared in his field of vision, but also because the other party had given him a cold, almost imperceptible glance at their hiding place!

In the initial exchange of glances, she was able to reassure herself that it was just a coincidence.

After all, in terms of physical distance alone, their position was already more than 100 meters away from the edge of the lake.

If you add the distance to the center of the lake, the vegetation lining the path, and the thin mist that permeates the lake, the obstacles would make it impossible for ordinary human eyesight to penetrate it easily.

However, after all the clues pointed to that person being a powerful being that she could not easily fathom, she finally came to the conclusion in her heart that she might have been discovered.

Upon hearing Hinata Hyuga's words, the emotions within the Konoha camp, which had just begun to settle down, were stirred up once again.

Everyone, even the elite ninjas of Konoha who had joined the Anbu, all looked at the girl in the center of the protection.

"retreat,"

"Retreat directly to the third outpost and wait to rendezvous with Kakashi's squad."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jingyin issued the command immediately.

Escaped the scrutiny of the scornful eyes,

Even if it was just Hinata's own speculation, she wouldn't dare gamble on the veracity of this information!

Because no one knows, and cannot guarantee, what attitude Uchiha Ara, who left Konoha to establish his own clan, holds towards Konoha at present.

Or,

What kind of conflict will erupt when the Uchiha, filled with hatred, meets the Konoha, burdened with grief?!

"Hey, I'm asking you a question."

"Who gave you the audacity to order my men around?"

Ara turned his gaze away from the depths of the dense forest and looked directly at Kabuto Yakushi, the leader of the Sound Ninja clan.

The latter, too, suddenly tensed up during this unobstructed eye contact.

【Uchiha Arakawa!】

【No,】

[The First Demon Shadow of Demon Hidden Village, he's here too!!]

The moment he recognized the person, Kabuto's expression froze, and the mockery that had been on his lips turned into a bitter swallow.

Of course, he wasn't the only one.

Even the Sound Four, who had already activated the first stage of the Cursed Seal and gained even greater power, froze and were filled with fear the moment their eyes met the newcomer.

The obscure mark that should have given the four of them great strength and confidence now made them feel no sense of security whatsoever.

because,

This is a humanoid monster that doesn't even belong to the same dimension as us!!

"Master Huang!"

"Lord Yaoying!"

"........"

In contrast, the experimental subjects who came with Honglian immediately displayed a different attitude, their chests filled with excitement and fervor.

Some even knelt down on the turbulent lake to express their respect and excitement.

After all, the contempt and humiliation they had suffered before were instantly reversed at this moment, especially when even the usually sharp-tongued Tayuya fell silent and involuntarily moved closer to her companions to huddle together for warmth. This feeling became even more turbulent.

"I apologize, Lord Ara, I have acted without following your orders."

"I will accept any punishment that comes with it."

Honglian spoke with deep regret,

Even so, her gaze and attention remained fixed on the boy named Yukimaru.

Simply because this person is more important than life itself.

However, Huang paid no attention to the performance of the Demon Hidden Sect, but instead looked at the silent Dream Master in his field of vision and continued:

"Um,"

"Dead people really can't talk."

It was this seemingly casual remark that brought Yakushi Kabuto back to reality.

As cold sweat seeped down his back, his pride in his past as a spy for multiple countries, and his experience of weathering many storms, began to waver.

Once upon a time,

Even when facing Lord Orochimaru, he never showed any sign of fear or trepidation!

"Greetings, Lord Demon Shadow."

"I was just excited to see an old friend and made a joke."

"Please forgive me, Lord Demon Shadow."

"Of course, we have no intention of getting our hands on this child or the Three-Tailed Beast, which has already been confirmed to exist."

After saying that, Kabuto Yakushi carried the unconscious Yūkimaru out of the wooden boat and personally handed the boy to Guren while wading through the lake water.

"As you can see, I only made him temporarily unconscious."

"It was also to protect him from the backlash of the Three-Tails' chakra energy."

The former's gesture of cupping his hands in greeting, and his gentle words that were a complete reversal, caused a look of disbelief to appear in Honglian's eyes.

So, what exactly was the pointless act of eagerly showing himself up and almost agreeing to the other party's conditions?

After receiving the Ghost Pill, she fell into deep self-doubt.

At the same time, Yu Zhi felt an even greater sense of gratitude and respect for his leader.

【Goodness】: Gratitude from the Red Lotus.

So, I misunderstood you?

Huang's expression remained unchanged, but his cold voice clearly softened slightly. After all, keeping such a pragmatic fellow might be of help to him and the Demon Hidden Village in the future.

"No,"

"It's not Lord Demon Shadow's problem,"

"Our behavior was a bit too aggressive."

"I am Kabuto," the pharmacist replied hastily.

The wording used vividly portrays his adeptness at navigating social situations when he was a spy.

“Now, we have greeted our old friends,”

"Since Lord Yaoying has also arrived, we will take our leave now."

He added that he wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

As for the task assigned by Lord Orochimaru...

Knowing it's a futile effort like an egg hitting a rock, there's no need to keep going.

"Um,"

Huang did not make things difficult for them, nor did he retaliate by demanding that the five of them help hunt the Three-Tails. He simply hummed in agreement.

After all, he never intended to reclaim that calamity by force.

"Yes, that's right."

"Thank you for showing mercy, Lord Shadow."

"let's go."

Kabuto was clearly taken aback for a moment by the former's quick agreement, and even had a hint of doubt.

However, considering that the other party was a relatively steadfast Uchiha clan member, and the prestige that came with such a high position, he quickly abandoned his concerns about playing hard to get, and after expressing his gratitude, he immediately called the other four to leave.

Meanwhile, the unruly Sound Ninja Four, as if relieved, immediately moved to Kabuto Yakushi's side and followed him backward, moving out of the battle circle.

Clearly, they had no desire to fight whatsoever.

However, just in case, the cursed seals activated by the four were not removed.

"tread."

However, just as Kabuto had moved away from the center of the lake, he stumbled and almost fell back into it.

"What's wrong, Kabuto!"

This sudden turn of events caused Zuo Jin to become instantly alarmed, asking questions while his gaze cautiously swept over his surroundings.

However, everything was normal. The demons and that person remained standing in the middle of the lake, without making any move to give chase.

"fine,"

"It was my fault."

"Leave now, this is no place to stay."

To this, Kabuto Yakushi gave only a vague and simple response.

In response to this answer, the other four did not show any of the usual mockery or sarcasm, but instead silently agreed and turned around to speed up their retreat.

After all, they were also very flustered, and they knew that if it weren't for Kabuto Yakushi's timely and pragmatic retreat at the crucial moment, they might have been buried here forever.

This is not because they are afraid of death.

Rather, it's because no one would willingly choose a completely meaningless death.

Unlike the other four, on his way back, Kabuto looked back deeply at the center of the lake, as if he could still feel that person watching him from afar.

If you come to me in the future,

[In addition to promising to give you a renewed sense of purpose, I can also let you see her one more time.]

Of course, it wouldn't be a prank meeting using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Keep your glasses safe.
