Nagato's voice was as cold as the ice of the far north.

He also gave the other party no room for maneuver or questioning.

"the same as you."

After scanning the masked man who called himself "Ban" in his field of vision, he looked at "Ze" behind him.

What gives them confidence is...

The other five Pain's silently lined up beside the Deva Path!

........

The retreat of Kumogakure eased the tension in the Land of Hot Springs, but the girl standing on the city wall showed no sign of amusement.

Because she can sense it.

An invisible, terrifying tsunami was brewing around the Land of Hot Water, and the imminent consequences even turned the pale blue sky into a deep azure!

[So, Ara, where are you now? Are you in some kind of trouble? Why can't even Nekomata, Ao, and Tsubaki contact you?]

However, no matter where you are.

I will absolutely keep my promise and protect this place.

The girl withdrew her gaze from the distance.

Her lovely face displayed a calmness and resolve beyond her years.

at the same time,

A dark spatial vortex opened up in the Uchiha clan's territory in Konoha!

Chapter 392 A Warning That Begins in Konoha Prison

Above the ruins, beneath the pale moon.

The bull demon silently watched the gradually closing spatial vortex.

He was like an ancient mountain, motionless and silent, until the mist dissipated, until dawn broke, until the cycle of another day began, only then did his deep, demonic eyes show a tangible ripple.

"I can too,"

"Will I be called a companion and treated as family again?"

The murmured whispers that came out of his mouth were completely inconsistent with his imposing and aloof image, yet there was an inexplicable sense of harmony and resonance.

It's just like,

He should have been like that.

He should have existed as a completely trustworthy companion or retainer, not as a terrifying monster that everyone fears and is associated with endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

【here,】

Please leave it to me!

As the deep spatial vortex completely vanished, his thoughts also came to an abrupt end.

The tenderness that had previously shone in the corners of his eyes was now replaced by indifference.

In its surroundings,

Upon sensing the invisible will of their leader, the hideous and terrifying demons roared to the sky in unison, engulfing billowing dust as they rushed toward the still-dark corner.

[Those cowardly scoundrels who dare not show their faces on ordinary days, but become eager to covet anything at the first sign of trouble.]

[Just die, all of you!]

From this moment on,

This is the territory of our Lord.

[Attention, others.]

........

........

When Huang opened the door and saw the room full of kittens, his face suddenly darkened, and a sense of foreboding instantly filled his heart.

as predicted,

After disassembling those little bells, a barrage of bad news followed:

[In the wilderness, the samurai of the Land of Iron and the ninjas of the Land of Lightning have openly attacked the border of the Land of Hot Water. How should we respond to their provocation?]

[In addition to the Land of Iron and the Land of Lightning, several elite ninja groups, including the "Zetsu" you mentioned earlier, suspected to be from Konoha, have also crossed the border and infiltrated the main city. Their numbers are currently unknown.]

[The enemy has already suffered casualties within their ranks. Since they want war, then let the war begin!]

【……】

[Ara, the thousands of samurai from the Land of Iron have been dealt with by Kimimaro, and the 'rats' who infiltrated the city have also been completely wiped out. This time, we are very grateful to Ranmaru for being there...]

[Regarding this matter, I apologize for presumptuously but I have already relayed it to the major powers through the Nekomata's intelligence network.]

After reading the message from the Land of Hot Springs, Ara remained silent for a long time.

But the crumpled note and the increasingly solemn coldness on his face were enough to explain everything in Yu Zhi's heart.

The words "casualties" are simply too jarring.

He truly hadn't expected that after a month of silence, when he himself thought those old foxes wouldn't make any rash moves anytime soon, things would turn out quite differently.

A month of waiting,

A month's savings,

In order to win over more forces to their cause, they even risked serious consequences by forming an alliance with the Akatsuki!

This really refreshed Huang's understanding.

As for Chino's self-described overstepping of authority, he certainly had no reason to blame her.

However, such direct announcement of the victory is undoubtedly an extreme approach that is like drinking poison to quench thirst, and it is more likely to provoke a full-scale retaliation from the Iron Kingdom and the vigilance and hostility of various surrounding forces.

But what is truly highlighted is the urgent predicament that the [Thunder Light Group] is currently facing.

Leaving aside the Land of Iron and the Akatsuki, the mere presence of Konoha and Kumogakure alone is something that the newly reborn Land of Hot Springs simply cannot withstand.

According to the information relayed by the cat demon,

Currently, there are no clear actions within the Land of Iron. This incident does not seem to be the intention of Admiral Mifune, but rather of a powerful samurai general within the Land of Iron.

However, the samurai were highly agitated, and many were calling for war.

The ninjas of Kumogakure have withdrawn from the Land of Hot Springs, clearly deterred by the consequences of Kaguya Kimimaro's actions. However, they haven't completely left; they remain stationed within the Land of Frost, and Kumogakure is recalling some dispatched ninjas, suggesting some action is imminent.

[On the Konoha side, several ninja teams have hastily arrived at the border with the Land of Hot Springs, presumably troops transferred from other border defense lines.]

This is a short message from Grandma Cat.

The ninja cat informants spread throughout the entire ninja world enable them to detect the obvious movements of major forces at the first moment.

This is also the most important reason why she was able to occupy the airspace for so long and become an independent arms and intelligence dealer.

However, besides this most basic current strategic information, there is also:

The envoy from Konoha has arrived, but I did not see him.

Your plan needs to be faster, much faster.

After all, those from Konoha came from the Ninja Wars; don't underestimate their insight and their resolve when faced with a threat.

This is a warning from Granny Cat.

The word "not seen" represents her attitude.

The repeated use of the word "fast" symbolizes her anxiety.

While the empty zone is indeed good, being independent of its own territory, that's only because it initially maintained a neutral attitude of welcoming all visitors.

This is also the key reason why most arms dealers are able to continue operating.

However, once such an attitude changes and a clear alignment emerges, it means that many large forces will no longer allow such a stronghold to continue to exist.

Because it will no longer be of use to our side, and may even become a hidden danger that threatens us!

Huang was not particularly moved by the exposure of the empty area.

After all, the spies of the five great ninja villages are spread across various regions, and it is understandable that Granny Cat, as a long-time ally of the Uchiha clan, would be subject to such scrutiny during this special period.

What truly surprised Huang was the other party's attitude.

As a businesswoman, she could have been hypocritical, maintained her old attitude, or even made some appropriate promises and ignored some insignificant bait messages.

However, they did not, remaining closed to the public, which in a sense clearly indicates that they have taken sides.

Moreover, such an attitude cannot be covered up or dismissed with a few words like "I wasn't there" or "I didn't notice."

Grandma Cat is truly keeping the promise she made to herself three years ago!!

As for the last two notes,

One of them is still from an empty area:

[Someone from Kumogakure has arrived, but we haven't seen them.]

The other one is from the Land of Rain, from that demigod:

[Lord Ara, the forces of Amegakure have been fully integrated and are ready to travel to the Land of Hot Springs to assist in its defense.]

I also hope that Lord Ara will treat my subordinates well.

It seems that Chino's strong response has gradually made Hanzo of the Salamander begin to accept her.

It should be noted that a month ago, that former tyrant sent a letter saying that the Akatsuki organization was making unusual moves and wanted to seek his protection.

However, there was no follow-up from him during this period.

Although Ara didn't care much.

However, given the information that has just come in, it seems that the old foxes in Konoha have also been conveying some kind of message to Hanzo of the Salamander within the past month, which has caused the latter to postpone his planned actions.

The reasons for proactively mentioning "cooperative defense" at this moment are nothing more than three:
