I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Their Hidden Mist Village went to great lengths and paid a heavy price to obtain even a single Byakugan.

Now, Konoha wants to calmly reclaim their spoils of war...

Ha, don't be ridiculous!!

Although the Fourth Mizukage did not speak, his sudden stop made it clear: Kirigakure was determined to obtain Ao's corpse.

And his mere presence here represents endless intimidation and threats.

After all, there was no one of equal strength present!

"Please don't joke about my comrades who died in the Hidden Mist Village, Uchiha Ara."

"Or should I address you as Chief of the Wilderness Clan?"

Mei Terumi's tone held a hint of anger.

She never imagined that the other party would so easily take back Ao's corpse and Hyuga's Byakugan.

But such teasing is a bit too much.

Whether it's Ao, Hozuki Mangetsu, or Ringo Ameyuri, they are all the most outstanding ninjas in Kirigakure!

"Although Ao's name may not be that well-known, as someone who has clashed with the Uchiha clan many times and is the clan's head, do you really not know him?"

"Or is this the manifestation of the Will of Fire of Konoha?"

Mei Terumi's left eye, the only one visible, blazed with clear fury.

"All we want is our comrade's body back."

She suppressed her anger and continued to add.

Furthermore, they only mentioned their companions and did not mention any information related to the Hyuga Byakugan.

"Lord Mizukage, Lord Terumi Mei, since Ara says he doesn't know and doesn't recognize you, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Perhaps..."

Nara Shikaku, who had been listening to this, also spoke up.

It's not just to protect his companions, but also to protect that lost Byakugan!

If what the other side says is true, and Ao's body was collected and hidden by Uchiha Ara, then for Konoha, this would be the only good news in this battle.

Because the strategic significance of rolling one's eyes is simply too great!

If we can bring it back, then even if the Will of Fire suffers a little humiliation, it will be worth it.

Interests and power are the most powerful voices in this world.

Everything else is illusory; it is something worth discussing only after the first two have been established.

However, the Nara clan chief's attempt to intervene was to no avail.

"Nara Shikahisa."

A crisp and sharp low shout suddenly rang out, cutting off the second half of the sentence the former was about to say.

It was Yagura's voice.

However, when he spoke, he didn't even look at the other person, and called him by his name directly, showing no respect whatsoever.

"Keep it quiet. If Hiruzen Sarutobi were here, it would be fine."

His meaning was simple and blunt: everyone here is trash!

Yes, Konoha was the unlucky one in this battle, suffering an undeserved misfortune.

However, the village of Kirigakure suffered even greater losses!

It's like swallowing a bitter pill in silence; you have to bear the pain silently.

Now, to make them give up the Byakugan they finally obtained is worse than just throwing caution to the wind and continuing the war!

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku was speechless.

Since the other party has already abandoned the so-called 'shadow' and said such a thing, it is no longer possible to continue negotiations.

All schemes are futile in the face of absolute power.

Should the war continue?

Perhaps, by dragging this out, they can protect the Hyuga Byakugan, but can they afford the unnecessary losses that will occur in the process?

At this moment, the only way to reliably break the deadlock and protect the Byakugan is for the Third Hokage to arrive as soon as possible after his interview with the Daimyo.

"Your Hidden Mist Village is quite interesting."

"Who is Qing? Do I need to know him? Do I need to know anything about him? Can he possibly allow me to have any schemes against him?"

"If not, what use would it be for me to hide his body!"

His outrageous words remained unabated.

A pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes radiated a terrifying light, and the dried blood on the sword was its most silent deterrent.

the most important point is:

Qing's corpse was indeed not in his hands; it had long since turned into a wisp of smoke and ashes in the world.

If the topic of eye-rolling comes up, he might be able to respond directly.

This remark left Mei Terumi speechless.

Indeed, if the person they encounter is a ninja from another clan in Konoha, then it's confirmed that the Hyuga Byakugan is something they would want to hunt and reclaim immediately upon encountering it.

Even if it's not for transplanting into the clan, it would be more than enough to 'please' the Third Hokage or to get closer to the Hyuga clan.

But the most suspicious person happens to be from the Uchiha clan.

You should know that they already possess the Sharingan, a special bloodline limit that is no weaker than the Byakugan. Coupled with the arrogant and haughty nature of this clan, what difference would it make if they actually obtained it?

Transplanting this white eye?

Even though this eye is considered a precious strategic resource by various powers.

But for them, transplantation would only be the greatest disgrace to their clan! Others would think that the Sharingan is inferior to the Byakugan, which is why they need such a thing!

So, should we try to please the Third Hokage or win over the Hyuga clan?

That makes it even more impossible.

The attitude of Konoha Village towards the Uchiha clan is well known.

What's more, the current clan leader is this Blood Asura who clearly belongs to the radical faction!

If he were to encounter Qing, the most likely outcome would be that he would treat him as an ordinary henchman and deal with him without bothering to gain any disdain.

In fact, Mei Terumi had thought the same thing.

but!

The fact that they couldn't find Qing's body during the war was the main reason she couldn't believe their story!

After all, the only guy who appeared on the front lines of Kirigakure at that time was Uchiha Ara!

must,

There must be something I haven't considered.

However, the temporary silence of the Hidden Mist faction does not mean that Ara will give up easily.

"I just helped your 'Shadow' break free from the illusion. I don't expect anything in return, but don't push your luck and frame me like this!"

He went straight to the point about what had just happened.

Even if such a favor cannot make the profit-driven ninja back down, it will buy them time to maintain the stalemate.

I will guide you step by step.

Because in this chaotic battlefield, there are plenty of scapegoats!

Danzo's Root, Akatsuki's Zetsu, and Kumogakure's A—it remains to be seen which side will be the first to step forward.

“I am very grateful for this, Uchiha Ara, and I have promised to repay this kindness.”

Even when his dark past was brought up in public, and even when he was under the unbelievable gaze of both sides, Yagura Karatachi still did not show any panic or anger.

Because of this, he would naturally confess to the higher-ups after his return, and would also inform the Third Hokage of the whole story.

"But our only request now is to collect the bodies of our comrades and bring them back to their homeland."

"What's wrong with this?"

As he spoke, the Fourth Mizukage suddenly turned to the side, his pair of purple eyes staring directly at the aloof boy standing alone, and one could even vaguely see the slight redness rising at the corner of his eyes.

This is not an act, but because he really endured too much after he regained consciousness!

Of course, the reason why Qing was the only one to receive attention and be mentioned among the hundreds of victims is only one: that Hyuga Byakugan!

"Okay, then let me remind you again."

“The Kirigakure commander you faced earlier was Ao. He wore a black eyepatch over his right eye, making him easy to identify. Given the nature of your Sharingan, you would never forget someone you’ve seen before in a short time.”

"So, do you remember now?"

Yagura gritted his teeth and growled.

He had never seen such a difficult young person. What kind of experiences had made this guy so stubborn and unyielding?

"The commander of the Mist Village?"

Huang Fu recounted the story.

However, the rising tone clearly indicated that this was a question.

"He is the commander of the Kirigakure unit who went ahead with the Kaguya clan."

Mei Terumi also recovered from her self-doubt.

She had just made a huge mistake, being led by the nose simply because of the other party's emotionally charged rebuttals.

If it weren't for Yagura-sama's timely intervention, he might have been speculating about other possibilities.

Keep in mind that our strongest fighting force is on our side!

Just keep applying pressure.

"The pioneers of Kirigakure, along with the Kaguya clan?"
