[However, the Thousand Hands of the Forest?]
Why does this prefix feel familiar?
'The Thousand Hands of the Forest.'
'The Thousand Hands of the Forest!'
'Could it be that Senju of the Forest?!'
The barely conscious hoodlum suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with terror, but the master and servant and the pink pet pig were long gone from his sight.
Chapter 322 The Land of Chaos will eventually welcome its king!
[A mere evil cult!]
These minimalist words struck the hearts of everyone present like a deafening thunderclap.
Doubt, ridicule, disdain, disgust, deep thought, hope, and the trust between Xiaoling and Fushima Sei—many eyes converge here.
[As expected of the arrogant Uchiha clan. Do they think driving away a few thugs proves anything?]
[A cult of evil gods! That's a cult of evil gods!!]
[You, young and impetuous, utterly ignorant, have no idea what the fear of death or the devil truly is!]
Most people looked at the boy standing in the center of the field as if he were a fool, a joke.
It's understandable that they would have such thoughts, after all, that mysterious and eerie cult had slaughtered the entire village of Yugakure in a single night, leaving a river of blood.
Comparing these records, the two sides are simply not in the same league.
Although the bloodshed four years ago was not repeated, the ripples that did occur were only minor incidents such as the disappearance of a girl and the curse of a countdown to death placed on a disrespectful person.
But those three words, that elusive cult, were like a giant python lurking in the darkness, like a nightmare hiding in the night, pressing down on the heartstrings of all the residents of the Land of Hot Water.
Who knows when it might suddenly pounce and drag those who offend it, along with all the innocent people around it, into an abyss!
But today,
Just today!
The young man in their field of vision casually mentioned the cult again, even vowing to annihilate all those beings who exuded immense terror!
How can this be?
This guy's ultimate fate will only be to become a sacrifice for that cult!
【but,】
[But if only he could really wipe out that terrorist organization, that would be wonderful.]
Is such a thing even possible?
Is it possible?
【after all,】
He's from the Uchiha clan!!
With such a faint hope, the crowd gathered on the periphery began to retreat to both sides, and an elderly man with white hair appeared in Huang's sight, supported by two young men.
"Alright, let me do it myself."
After quietly dismissing the two young men who were supporting him, he solemnly turned his gaze to the boy in front of him and slowly spoke.
"My name is Inaba Tetsuji, an ordinary resident who lives in this city. I have met Chief Ara here before."
He completely ignored the gazes of the others present and bowed with difficulty directly to the boy in his line of sight.
This scene also drew indignant exclamations from the surrounding onlookers:
"What are you doing, Inaba-senpai?"
"Why should we bow to this guy!"
"Hey kid, don't you have any manners? You just accepted it so openly!"
Meanwhile, discontented voices also erupted from the crowd.
They had long harbored resentment towards the arrogant young man in their field of vision.
Even if the other party found a doctor and a way to temporarily prolong Xiaoling's mother's life.
However, the money used as payment for the hire originally belonged to the Land of Hot Springs, and to them!
This despicable fellow merely acted as an intermediary.
That's it!
However, such direct questioning failed to elicit any reaction from Huang, for the same reason as before.
Accustomed to the rejection from Konoha, accustomed to the strange aura of his companions, he, or rather his clan, had long since become 'invulnerable'.
However, their silence does not mean that no one is defending them.
"Quiet!"
A hoarse, low cry suddenly rang out.
Suddenly, the slightly hunched old man turned his face and angrily rebuked them.
“Senior Inaba, you don’t need to defend him like this. We don’t necessarily need to ask this guy for help. Besides, the Uchiha clan is no longer what it used to be…”
Despite the old man's reprimand, some people did not back down; instead, they became even more aggressive.
After all, the boy in front of them was just an ordinary ninja, so what could he possibly represent?
However, the person who spoke seemed to have overlooked the form of address used by the former.
"Shut up!"
Before the man could finish speaking, Tetsuji Inaba suddenly roared and interrupted him.
These guys have absolutely no sense of propriety!
[A mad sweep that cleansed the entire underground of the Land of Hot Springs overnight, a forceful declaration to eradicate the evil cult with a casual gesture.]
All of this, these credentials—isn't that enough to prove the point? Doesn't it clearly demonstrate his identity?
[The Land of Hot Springs isn't exactly isolated, is it?!]
Some looked at the clueless juniors with a disappointed glare, then raised their voices and growled out their deduction:
"The young man standing before you is: Uchiha Ara, the current head of the Uchiha clan."
"That's the one who faced off against the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure and the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure on the eastern border of the Land of Fire!!"
And as these words came out of his mouth, his suspicions became more and more certain.
The young man standing before him must be the very being from the legends!
However, some time has passed since that famous battle three years ago, and during this period, none of the participating ninja villages, including Konoha, have publicized the event excessively.
That's why no one immediately realized that this ninja of such a young age was none other than the infamous Blood Asura, Uchiha Ara!
The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.
Not only were there whispers, but even the sound of breathing seemed to have been completely silenced.
It was at this moment that they slowly came to understand and realize what the 'Chief of the Wild Clan' that Elder Inaba had mentioned truly meant, what kind of being he was!
"Please allow me to express my sincerest apologies on behalf of the villagers behind me who have not experienced any storms."
Tetsuji Inaba bowed again, his voice becoming even more respectful.
This stemmed not only from his conviction, but also from the fact that the other party did not deny the matter immediately.
"Oh."
"and then?"
Ara's face remained unchanged in the face of the old man in front of him and the residents of the Land of Hot Water, and his voice was still cold and indifferent.
There was no anger or arrogance at having his identity revealed; he simply asked the other person why he had chosen to come out.
It shouldn't just be about revealing one's identity.
Upon hearing this, Tetsuji Inaba's expression faltered slightly.
He had thought that when he rashly revealed the other party's identity, it would evoke some other emotions in this being.
But the result was still just a cold gloss over it, without anger or pride.
However, he would prefer that the other person could evoke some other emotion, as that would prove that the other person is a human being with normal joys and sorrows.
Instead of being like an unapproachable iceberg, as it is now.
Perhaps only a child's innocence can move someone's heart.
After letting out a soft sigh, Inaba Tetsuji quickly composed himself and solemnly explained to the boy before him:
"Actually, there's a reason why everyone didn't understand Chief Huang's goodwill right away."
"During these four years, everyone was bullied into silence by those suddenly emerging thugs, and most of the people living here were just honest and law-abiding ordinary people."
“In the past, any resistance or dissatisfaction would only result in beatings and even harsher exploitation, so everyone dared not speak out against it.”
"Fortunately, Chief Huang drove away those wicked people."
"But those guys are like weeds, you can't get rid of them no matter what you do. Even if they escape now, they'll definitely come back again soon."
"That's why everyone is hesitant to accept Chief Huang's kindness, fearing that they will suffer even more frenzied retaliation from those villains in the future."
At this point, Tetsuji Inaba's voice suddenly trembled and choked with emotion.
Coupled with his pale hair and declining appearance, it is indeed easy to feel a surge of sympathy for him.
Moreover, this is indeed the current situation in the Land of Hot Springs and the concerns of most residents. Once the money is recovered, and the boy in front of them leaves, and the villains return, not only will they be forced to return all the money they just recovered, but they may also be used as a human punching bag to vent their anger.
Ultimately, this young ninja who inherited the name of Uchiha would leave sooner or later; he couldn't stay in this alien land forever.
As for the strength of this country...
If such a bad situation could not be contained at the beginning of its out-of-control development, how could it be allowed to continue now?
However, the old man's grief and enthusiasm did not have much effect.
