I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, such plea for help did not stop just because the garrisoned ninjas retreated to the second line of defense and into the forest full of traps.

"green!"

"The commander who will lead the Hidden Mist ninja and the Kaguya clan this time is Hidden Mist Jonin, Ao!"

"The white eye rendered our traps ineffective; all counterattacks and surprise attacks were futile!!"

"Support! Requesting support!!"

"Hokage-sama!!"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the urgent letter in his hand, his hands trembled, and the composure he had built up over decades crumbled at this moment.

During this time, he tried countless times to contact the Kage of Kirigakure, hoping to use negotiation to stop this meaningless large-scale conflict, which should not have occurred in peacetime, or even a full-scale war.

However, the two messengers who went there were sent back before they even saw the Fourth Mizukage.

Ok.

They threw back the unseeing head and the unopened, bloodstained letter together.

Those ruthless fellows who emerged from the blood mist seemed intent on provoking Konoha's nerves with this display, satisfying their thirst for war, and fulfilling their demand for Uchiha Ara!

This was the third day of the full-scale war waged by Kirigakure. With Konoha having twice sent envoys to try to negotiate the matter without success, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally decided to resolve the matter head-on with force.

Even though he was suppressing the situation on the eastern border, rumors were still circulating in Konoha that Kirigakure ninjas had set foot on the border of the Land of Fire.

Panic began to arise between ordinary ninjas and young ninjas.

Some people even began to recall the good qualities of the Uchiha clan.

During this period, he also dispatched ten elite squads, led by Sarutobi Asuma as captain and Yuhi Kurenai as vice-captain, as well as two ANBU squads to provide immediate support, and most of the members were members of the Sarutobi clan.

This was also their first step in making preparations to appease the residents of Konoha and to solidify the front-line defenses.

The reason why most of the dispatched personnel were members of the Sarutobi clan was also unavoidable; in the rush, this was the most direct force he could mobilize.

The second measure was naturally to convene a mobilization meeting, gathering all the aristocratic families and elite ninjas to discuss how to deal with this long-planned invasion.

Huang's return occurred on the third day.

The day after the eastern garrison ninjas retreated to the second line of defense, and Sarutobi Asuma led the vanguard out, was also the day of the meeting!

........

"Chief, I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing the summons from the Anbu, Uchiha Naki immediately spoke with a solemn expression.

After all, the reason Kirigakure publicly claimed that the reason for launching this attack was to obtain the Uchiha clan leader, Ara!

However, the reasons given for demanding it are varied.

However, the two most widely circulated versions are: one is to wash away the shame of the Uchiha clan's invasion of the Land of Water a year ago; the other is that Ara's growth is too fast, and the news of his sweeping victory over the Sarutobi clan has raised the evaluation of this young man by many forces.

The reason Kirigakure is making such a strong demand is because those guys are afraid!

They fear that this terrifying youth, whom they call the "Blood Asura," will fully mature and become an existence like Shisui!

"This matter is confidential, so the Third Hokage only requests that the Ara clan chief go."

However, before Ara himself could react, the ANBU member wearing a white mask spoke first.

But Naoki clearly ignored the other party's meaning and wanted to continue persuading her clan leader.

He was worried that the young man in front of him would be too impulsive and fall into the trap of those old foxes from Kirigakure and Konoha, actually agreeing to their seemingly direct demands to exchange his life for so-called peace between the two sides.

The seemingly tense atmosphere and the vaguely leaked casualty figures were just a ruse on their part!

After all, following the night of the massacre, the Uchiha clan found it difficult to trust outsiders anymore.

Their only faith and hope lies in the boy before them!

"No problem."

"My life is not something I will give away just because someone wants it or asks for it."

"Since I promised you that I would become the patriarch of this clan, I will continue to be responsible for this clan."

"You will wait within the clan."

Huang replied calmly.

He wasn't White Fang or Minato Namikaze, and he didn't have that much attachment to Konoha or a good reputation.

Otherwise, he would have already broken down when he failed to assassinate Itachi and was branded a sinner.

"Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"

With such a promise, Uchiha Naki's anxious heart was somewhat calmed down.

Because the young man in front of them has never let them down!

This time will surely be the same.

Before leaving the clan's territory, Huang still saw the girl who had returned in a hurry.

When their eyes meet, no words are needed.

"I'll go cook and wait for you to come back."

Quan gently brushed aside a strand of hair that was hanging over her eyes and said softly.

Yu Zhi still looked somewhat travel-worn, clearly having gone on another ordinary D-level mission.

Even though Huang had said many times that he was now very rich and wealthy, the girl in front of him would always just smile quietly and say, "Okay, I won't go, I won't go."

However, as soon as he left, Izumi started picking out those basic missions that even genin would disdain.

"Yes, I'll be back soon."

Huang nodded slightly in response, and then left with the already somewhat impatient Anbu.

.......

The council chamber was noisy.

It seemed to have reached a stage of free discussion, with everyone trying their best to promote their own ideas or refute the opinions of others.

The Third Hokage, who was in charge at the time, did not suppress or guide this deteriorating situation.

Because one opinion that is becoming increasingly clear is:

"Why drag the entire village of Konoha down for the sake of Uchiha Ara alone? Why make the whole village bear such a loss?"

"Twenty-one!"

"So far, we have lost twenty-one outstanding garrison ninjas. They are all elites from various clans and the future of Konoha!"

"And for the sake of Uchiha Ara alone, who knows how many more people will be lost in the future!!"

It's no exaggeration to say that Huang heard such roars and questions right at the entrance of the building.

Even as he pushed open the door, the clan leader, whose identity was unknown, was still giving a passionate speech, completely unaware of the little fellow who had arrived behind him.

However, it's no wonder he was so excited to speak, since Huang had only returned today and not many people knew about it.

Furthermore, neither of the two people present, who were clearly aware of the matter, made it public.

"Yes, that's right, I agree."

The calm sound was like a clear stream in the noisy and rugged environment.

Upon seeing that upright figure, all the clan leaders and elite ninjas present fell silent and sat up straight.

"Right? To sacrifice the future of the entire Hidden Leaf Village for the sake of Uchiha Ara alone is simply..."

The clan leader who had gained approval immediately looked toward the source of the sound, but after just one glance, he collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his parents.

"You, you, you...."

He uttered only a string of single words, as if questioning how the little guy being talked about ended up here.

A hint of indifference and coldness flickered in Huang's eyes.

'Ah. '

'It's someone I know.'

Isn't this the clan leader who stood up and reprimanded him at the first meeting?

It seems that the fate of the Sarutobi clan is not enough to give these guys a real warning.

At the same time, a sly glint also appeared in his eyes.

"Oh?"

"It seems that when the Hokage sent the Anbu to notify me, he didn't thoughtfully inform you."

Huang's voice carried a hint of mockery, and a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.

"enough!"

"Uchiha Ara, do you even know what's going on?"

"Because of you, the entire eastern border has lost twenty-one excellent garrison ninjas! The number of wounded is countless!!"

"Moreover, this number is still growing!!"

Just as the atmosphere was delicate and the Third Generation remained silent, Koharu Utatane suddenly shouted out, her words hitting the nail on the head.

If this incident and such accusations had been directed at Sakumo Hatake, he would probably have already lowered his head in shame.

But who is Huang?

Would someone be subjected to such sarcasm and provocation?

"Yes, hearing this news really broke my heart."

"but."

"Do you even know how many lives my Uchiha clan has sacrificed on the eastern border?"

"From the year of the Nine-Tails' rampage that I can remember, to today, there are a total of forty-five!"

"Do you know about this?"

"Has it been brought up again?"
