The reason for the former is unknown.

The latter, on the other hand, was completely enraged.

Uchiha Ara might indeed not know, and wouldn't care, who Ao of Kirigakure is.

But for the Hyuga clan, this name is the greatest disgrace, no less than the hatred they feel towards Kumogakure because of the 'Hinata incident'!

Now that Ao is most likely dead, even if the Byakugan doesn't return directly to the Hyuga clan, it's still something to be happy about for them.

However, how could they tolerate the fact that the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist faction was now trying to casually retrieve the lost Byakugan right in front of their clan?

"Chief Nara, please calm down."

"Since Lord Mizukage has made a promise, he will not break it casually."

"Right now, I just want to have a private conversation with Uchiha Ara about some details."

"Blue is very important to Kirigakure."

Mei Terumi gracefully stood in front of Konoha's side, her calm words sounding as if she were stating something insignificant.

However, his last words clearly conveyed a sense of heaviness and determination.

Beside him were the Hidden Mist ninjas, who had already re-revealed their ninja tools.

With the Mizukage by their side, they truly had no fear of continuing the fight!

"I think the Nara clan chief and the other elite Konoha ninjas wouldn't want this pointless war to continue, nor would they want to see more comrades on both sides sacrificed, would they?"

"After all, all we want to do is bring our companions back."

The beautiful woman continued, effortlessly exploiting Nara Shikaku's weaknesses.

It's important to know that the Nara clan is known as the brains of Konoha, a wise clan that prioritizes the big picture and excels in strategy, unlike the Uchiha clan who are easily swayed by personal emotions.

I believe he certainly knows how to do it, and that it is the right thing to do.

"So grand and dignified!"

"Is that out of concern for your comrades, and a desire to bring them back to their homeland?"

"He just wants to claim the Byakugan that belongs to the Hyuga clan for himself!!"

Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly stepped out from behind Akimichi Torifu, his hands forming hand seals as if he wanted to restart the battle.

However, at the crucial moment when all pretense of civility was about to crumble, a dark shadow quietly appeared at the foot of the mountain chieftain and imprisoned him in place.

[Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique!]

"Calm down, Haiyi!"

Nara Shikaku growled, and judging from his clasped fingers, he was clearly the one who performed this secret technique.

Moreover, his face, still bearing the marks of old wounds, no longer possessed its former composure and calmness.

Yes, it is replaced by impatience.

He never expected that the person who would break the deadlock without regard for the occasion or the bigger picture would not be a member of the Hyuga clan, but his old friend, Yamanaka Inoichi!

Do not,

wrong,

He should have thought of that!

Because the person involved is Uchiha Ara!!

"But...but what's wrong with you, Inoichi!"

'You, who are usually so calm, would never act so irrationally in a situation like this.'

'Could it be that the decision has already been made to marry Ino to Uchiha Ara?'

Although the idea was absurd, it was the only possibility he could think of, since marriage alliances between aristocratic families were still a relatively normal thing.

The most typical example is the Thousand Hands Clan, which breaks down large groups into smaller ones.

As for the possibility that the Fourth Mizukage might be controlled by genjutsu...

The mountain tribe is different from others; their greatest skill lies in using mental power. How powerful an illusion would it take to control them?

Most importantly, judging from the clues he observed, Uchiha Ara also showed a great deal of incomprehension about this.

Moreover, aside from being somewhat 'overly' protective of the former, his old friend did not exhibit any other strange reactions, nor did he seem to be engaging in bloody acts like the Fourth Mizukage.

Yamanaka Inoichi's sarcasm was like a stone thrown into the center of a lake, instantly creating ripples, and the Hyuga clan members present clenched their fists.

To use such a high-sounding excuse to plunder their clan's disdain, who can tolerate that?

Mei Terumi also showed a hint of surprise.

She never imagined that something that was tacitly understood by both sides would be so bluntly exposed!

The fact that the speaker was the patriarch of a mountain tribe who usually kept a low profile made it all the more unusual.

Most importantly, the Hidden Mist faction possesses supreme combat power at the 'Kage level'!

Does Konoha, a veteran of countless battles, really lack the ability to assess the situation?

Of course, even though the pretense was torn off, the true intentions were laid bare.

Mei Terumi remained completely still, without even uttering a single symbolic response.

Not only is further discussion pointless, but General Shikaku is also very pragmatic and has made the right choice.

As long as he maintains a proper stance, he won't cross any lines, given Konoha's style of conduct.

'Clang, clang, clang.'

At the same time, a series of metallic clanging sounds rang out, indicating that Yagura Karatachi and Ara Uchiha were already locked in close combat.

It's really hard to imagine that this seemingly young and thin Fourth Mizukage possesses immense power within him!

After only a few simple clashes, the horizontal sword in Huang's hand, which was already overburdened, broke in the middle. Half of the blade grazed his cheek, leaving a shallow but not deep cut on it.

Given his superhuman strength, it's no wonder he chose a weapon like a club, which explains why even Akimichi Choza, who used the Multiplying Technique, couldn't easily stop him.

"Hey, the tiger has no teeth now."

A mocking sound escaped from the corner of Yagura's mouth; he knew that the boy he was fighting was extremely skilled in swordsmanship.

Now that the enemy's weapon is broken, it will inevitably have a significant impact on their strength.

However, even in such a situation, even though the younger generation in his field of vision could only run around frantically, this being known as 'Shadow' did not relax for a moment.

"boom!"

With a deep, resounding sound, the ancient tree, which required several adults to encircle, was smashed in two by Yagura Karatachi with a single blow.

However, the boy who had been standing on it turned into a phantom again and slowly dissipated.

"what happened?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"Wasn't the instruction to have the elders who slumber here keep a close eye on you?"

"Why is all that's left to do is flee in disarray?"

"Or perhaps I misunderstood you."

"Is this the true form of the Uchiha clan?"

Yagura, the tachibana man, scoffed loudly.

Perhaps it is because of the repression of these decades that it has turned into the madness of unrestrained outburst in the present; or perhaps it is because of these unbearable past events that it has fallen to the brink of darkness.

In short, at this moment he was a typical, ruthless ninja who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals!

There was absolutely no trace of the demeanor of a 'shadow'.

Moreover, such provocation is indeed effective!

Even a single person could see the vast difference in the two sides' strength, and even if Uchiha Ara fled, no one could say anything about it.

but,

The name of the Uchiha clan must not be dishonored!

These are his own words!

Leaping into the air, Ara sheathed the broken blade in his hand back into the scabbard on his back, and immediately began to respond head-on by forming hand seals:

[Fire Release: Great Flame Annihilation!]

The raging flames spread out in an instant, and the entire sky was bathed in the glow of dusk, with the sunset painting the sky!

Of course, that's not all!

After casting the spell, he suddenly lowered his hands to his sides, and upon looking again, several kunai with explosive tags attached to them were already in his palms.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh.'

With a few whooshing sounds, these sharp ninja tools rushed toward the spot where the Fourth Mizukage had been standing. The force and potential accuracy they carried were definitely not something an ordinary ninja could throw!

The towering flames were merely an illusion!

"Fire Release techniques are useless against me."

But then, that crisp sound rang out again.

[Water Release: Water Pillar!]

'Pfft. '

The ear-piercing sounds of ninjutsu clashing echoed through the area, and the billowing white mist spread outwards.

'Ding-ding-ding.'

Several crisp sounds rang out during the event, but it was clear from the sounds that the force generated was much weaker, and there was no explosion as expected.

It must have been interfered with by this water-style ninjutsu.

God knows how the Uchiha clan of yesteryear managed to defend against this terrifying neighbor who was extremely skilled in water-style techniques!

"Then, this farce should come to an end."
