Because they already knew of the existence of that 'angel,' having learned of it from the second backup team they had arranged.

If it's just this one thing, then it's not of much value.

However, the Third Hokage still expressed his concern symbolically: "That Akatsuki guy is indeed very troublesome. Chief Ara must have had a hard time on this trip."

"No, Hokage-sama."

"What I'm talking about isn't the Akatsuki's overt pursuers, but a guy lurking in the shadows."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura immediately tensed up, their eager gazes falling on the boy.

It's that black and white aloe vera!

It must be him!

I didn't expect the little guy to notice too!

"Because I entered the Land of Water through conventional channels, I immediately sensed a subtle gaze upon me upon arrival!"

"Of course, I activated my Sharingan immediately."

"No ninjutsu can escape the Sharingan's detection, but this time, we found nothing! So, I also wondered if this surveillance was just an illusion, or if the environment of the Land of Rain was affecting me."

"However, the feeling of being watched and scrutinized by a real gaze remained unsettling until we entered Amegakure and Hanzo's territory."

"Perhaps it's because there's a powerful barrier there that the owner of that gaze doesn't dare to approach."

At this point, Huang paused slightly, wanting to give these two old foxes some time to accept and process the situation.

After all, techniques that even the Sharingan cannot detect are practically non-existent!

Because when performing ninjutsu, chakra energy will inevitably dissipate, which is normally impossible to conceal.

As for the "Mayfly Technique," even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is known as the professor of ninjutsu, would absolutely not have any knowledge of it.

And, just as Ara had thought, at the moment he paused, whispers from the clan heads and Jonin immediately filled the air.

The general idea is that a technique that even the Sharingan can't see through is impossible; it's probably just an illusion.

To Uchiha Ara's surprise, neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Danzo Shimura showed any astonishment, as if they knew about the technique and were aware of the existence of 'Zetsu'.

"And after I met with Lord Hanzo, left the main city of Amegakure, and stepped out of the barrier, that vanished gaze quietly reappeared!"

"After that, I was hunted down by the Akatsuki organization!"

"That subtle surveillance was like a persistent, malignant tumor, always following me."

"I was able to escape entirely because Uncle Yashiro had created a giant eagle summoning beast for me."

"The most troublesome enemies are the unseen ones, so please be vigilant, Hokage."

At this point, Huang's voice also carried a rare hint of lingering fear.

His performance and his warning have come to an end.

And at the very moment he finished speaking, the whispers around him grew even louder.

Although most of the responses were skeptical.

However, ninjas like Kakashi Hatake, who frequently undertake high-risk missions, were frowning as they pondered whether there were any relevant ninjutsu.

After all, a ninja who walks on the edge of death has an extremely strong sixth sense!

"Hiruzen!"

At the same time, Danzo Shimura also uttered a low, somber voice.

Although no other words were spoken, the former seemed to have already figured something out, and then nodded slightly.

"I see."

After giving a concise answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly looked at the two clan heads who were nearby.

"The message brought back by Chief Hiashi, Chief Shikaku, and Chief Ara is extremely valuable."

"Furthermore, there are clues indicating that members of the Akatsuki organization have also been active in the Land of Water. Therefore, please be sure to remind your clansmen to pay more attention to reconnaissance during the investigation and to keep this in mind during battle."

"Trouble!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a solemn expression.

"Yes."

After exchanging a glance, the two responded in unison.

However, this solemnity and decisiveness only intensified Huang's unease.

He is very perceptive in certain details.

Or rather, the Uchiha clan is very perceptive about emotions and the smallest details concerning themselves.

Would those two old foxes, the Third Hokage and Danzo, really be so certain of themselves, without a single doubt or question about the details?

Huang couldn't quite understand it.

However, given the current circumstances, he cannot afford to continue thinking about it.

Because evening is the time for gathering and departure, and in the last few hours, he still has some things to do.

........

........

When we returned to the ancestral stone, it was already daylight.

There were less than three hours until evening.

Ara stood upright on the Uchiha clan's exclusive training ground. In his field of vision were Izumi, three Chunin clan members wearing light green ninja armor, and forty-eight young people with youthful faces.

They've all awakened the Sharingan!!

Due to the war on the eastern border, all the major clans and ninja teams are on standby, and the ninja academy has also been suspended.

That's why the clan members could be gathered in such a short time.

"...This journey will undoubtedly be fraught with peril, and I will not force anyone to go with me."

"But before making a choice, girls step forward, and those who have not graduated from the Ninja Academy or obtained the genin qualification step forward. This is also the Third Hokage's requirement."

The word "荒" was used to concisely announce this.

At the same time, he was silently counting in his mind that there seemed to be only eight people in the clan who could meet this requirement.

Orders and prohibitions.

Although some of the boys and girls who stepped forward showed expressions of resentment, not one of them uttered a sound.

And finally.

No more, no less, eight clansmen.

"Let me remind you again, this isn't like playing around in Konoha, this is a place where you can die."

"I can't protect all of you."

Huang, seeing this scene, did not show any emotion on his face.

"Chief, we have no fear!"

"Wherever the clan leader is, that's where we'll be!"

"If it weren't for the clan chief, we would have died that night, in this humiliation!"

"........"

A series of simple yet resolute declarations echoed in the desolate air.

"Ah."

He gave a soft hum, indicating that he understood.

Of course, they didn't say anything to dissuade him from leaving.

Because that's the Uchiha clan!

The Uchiha clan will never back down because of fear or death!!

"Signing these summoned beasts is the only thing I can offer you."

At the same time, several scrolls appeared in his palm, most of them depicting spirit beasts that were good at defense, such as stone snakes and armored rhinoceroses.

"After signing the agreement, we will go back to say goodbye, and then gather here at four o'clock to distribute supplies and set off."

"Yes!"

"Lord Patriarch!"

In an instant, blood splattered onto the scroll, and a deep, guttural roar from a wild beast seemed to explode the area.

At the same time, Huang also left the training ground on his own.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to increase his strength again, because how could he let his people go to their deaths?

Of course, it was Izumi who was on guard and protecting them.

Never underestimate any pair of kaleidoscopes!

With a thought, three azure talismans materialized in his vision: two intermediate-level spirit communication talismans and one intermediate-level contract talisman.

Currently, there are still four monsters with whom he has not formed a contract.

This includes the reward for defeating Hanzo the Salamander, Hiyoribou, and a powerful yokai of lord rank, Ubume.

"Sa, then let's descend together!"

Blood fell onto the talisman, causing the surrounding air to become restless, and the entire space seemed to tremble slightly at that moment!

This is the first time that four great demons have been summoned together.

Chapter 182 Wishing you: May your military fortune prosper

As evening fell, the sun began to set.

The orange-red afterglow bathed the leaves, creating a sense of tranquility mixed with a touch of grimness.

At the edge of the field of vision, the towering Hokage Rock stands quietly between heaven and earth, with four lifelike faces carved on it. They are the successive 'Kage' of Konoha, the guardians and spiritual symbols of Konoha.
