During this time, he suddenly remembered the other person's resume:
Shirokumo Hayama, an elite Jonin of Konoha, is skilled in swordsmanship.
They have been stationed in the northern border of the Land of Fire for many years. During their shifts, no Iwagakure ninja has been able to cross the line. They have also trained many juniors who are skilled in garrison duty for the village.
He was a senior with outstanding leadership skills and personal charisma.
Regarding the last point, this is the evaluation of the former by many ninjas in the village who take turns serving in the northern border. It is a respectable thing that such a powerful senior can stick to this boring border year after year.
Previously, he had only been verbally clashing with his peers, Tekuno and his junior, Kimura, which meant he didn't feel any psychological pressure.
However, when he actually faced Baiyun Yeshan, a senior from the village, his momentum suddenly dropped.
Most importantly, the other side also pointed out their strengths: their own team wasn't important; what mattered was Uchiha Ara.
Without a doubt, if the latter is used as a bargaining chip, such speculation would certainly be valid.
Aside from being the head of the Uchiha clan at the time, who should have taken over most of the clan's secrets, his unique eyes were also an extremely valuable object.
After all, it's been rumored that it was that the opponent's Sharingan that disrupted the Jinchuriki of Kumogakure!
While it's unclear whether this message is a deliberate attempt to flatter or the truth, it's unlikely to be entirely baseless.
Furthermore, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure seems to have had some prior entanglement with that clan, so some things started to connect, making the situation more complicated.
"After you return, you may mention it if you wish."
"However, can you really bear the consequences of finding out the truth?"
"Behind this war lies the blood debt of dozens of Konoha garrison soldiers."
Looking at his colleague who had suddenly fallen silent, Shirakumo Hayama added.
After being awakened by Tekuno's angry words, he truly saw through it all and was disappointed.
The first time it was just the three of them, this time it's the entire northern defense line, what will be the price next time?
No matter the cost, one should never persecute one's fellow villagers or younger generations in the village!
There are some things it's better if you don't know.
The words Huang uttered that day, though seemingly sensible, were etched into his memory and could never be erased.
Hiromatsu Heiji began to lose his speech and began to feel fear.
All the anger and accusations that had been building up crumbled in that instant.
He gradually became afraid to consider the truth, and even more afraid to face the consequences.
Not only him, but also several Konoha ninjas standing beside him on the same side fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even though there were still some loopholes and details in Baiyun Yeshan's account that could be scrutinized, no one could easily question anything anymore.
Simply because the consequences are far too great!
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, a dull thud suddenly filled the ears of the advance team members.
This unexpected turn of events not only brought everyone out of their silence but also alerted them, leading them to mistakenly believe that the Iwagakure army had approached and launched an attack.
However, when he looked around, the surroundings were still quiet. Following the source of the sound, he saw that Might Guy, the commander of this advance team, was punching a giant tree next to him!
"Stop this, everyone, and get a clear picture of the situation!"
His usually smiling, comedic face was now extremely serious, and his wide eyes conveyed a solemn attitude.
"Although I don't understand what you're talking about, is this infighting at a time when a formidable enemy is at stake, as if you've completely disregarded the threat posed by Iwagakure?"
"The Will of Fire is a steadfast will that burns fiercely and never ceases, not an emotional outburst of mutual suspicion and fighting."
Might Guy's serious gaze swept mercilessly over every ninja present.
Such a gaze and sense of righteousness made his companions who met his eyes feel ashamed and lower their heads.
With a formidable enemy at hand, yet still indulging in suspicion and infighting, this is truly a cardinal sin in warfare and a disgrace to Konoha!
"Now, everyone prepare to head to the front lines to gather further intelligence on the Iwagakure army for the main force that follows."
"The medical ninja escorted Senior Shirokumo's team back along the way they came."
After calming his companions in sight, Matt Kai gave another order.
Even though the Baiyun Yeshan squad had clearly stated that the war in the Northern Border had ended,
However, war is not child's play.
He, and most of the ninjas present, had no reason to believe that a massive force that had mobilized its entire force would retreat like the tide after launching a grand surprise attack.
The only possibility is that while Iwagakure was waging a decisive battle against Konoha, other forces were also launching a surprise attack on Iwagakure.
But the likelihood of this happening is extremely small.
"Yes, Captain Might Guy!"
A chorus of responses rang out, and the gathered Konoha ninja began to disperse and regroup into the same squads they had come from.
"Then, let's go."
Seeing his comrades form an advancing formation in the blink of an eye, Might Guy's expression softened a little. As the resounding words fell, he took the lead and headed further north.
The giant tree beside him snapped in half the instant his fist left.
"Let's leave here first, Senior Baiyun."
"There are no adequate medical facilities here to treat your injuries. If you don't receive timely and comprehensive treatment, there may be other long-term consequences."
After watching the advance team head headed towards the northern border without hesitation, the two medical ninjas beside them spoke up to remind them.
Upon hearing this, Baiyun Yeshan did not answer directly, but subconsciously looked in the direction of the border marker again.
This land that witnessed his youth and prime, these towering trees that he knew so well, were probably the last time he would ever see them.
This is not only because he has already made up his mind to fulfill his promise to that person after returning, but also because there may not be any large-scale wars in the northern border of the Land of Fire for the next hundred years.
After all, Iwagakure, another of the five great ninja villages, was largely destroyed by this incident, and it was already quite good that it could hold onto the Land of Earth in the north.
"Ah."
He withdrew his gaze and gave a soft hum, then, without the slightest hesitation, led his two teammates on their journey home.
.........
.........
Three full days have passed since the incident in the northern border of Konoha. Under the healing power of Hotaru's abundant natural energy, Ara's body has gradually returned to normal.
Pushing open the door and walking on the streets of the clan's territory, the sunlight was gentle, the breeze was just right, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
This incident has undoubtedly brought about some changes within the Uchiha clan, and a sense of impending doom permeates the entire family.
Just like five years ago,
However, this atmosphere differed from the resentment and discontent that had accumulated within the clan's territory five years prior. Instead, it was one of fervent desire to become stronger and achieve revival.
The most distinctive feature is that, whether it is late at night or early in the morning, the tribe members can be seen training on the back mountain of the tribe's territory.
Of course, this peace was also thanks to the request made by the Baiyun Yeshan team in the Northern Territory.
Please seal away our memories.
This would also help avoid some unnecessary trouble for the nobles.
When Izumi heard this request from the elder who had been kind to her family five years ago, her first instinct was to refuse.
Moreover, even if it were truly necessary to seal memories, it should be done by Ara.
There are many reasons, but in short, it is not suitable for replacing traditional methods.
But in the end, Izumi relented. The scarlet windmill slowly turned in her beautiful eyes, because Shirokumo Hayama said:
This is not only for the Uchiha clan, but also for Ara. I worry that he won't do it because of his guilt.
This is an extremely sensitive time for nobles, and I don't want your side to encounter any unnecessary trouble because of us.
The second Susanoo and the terrifying rain of swords manifesting in the sky were his worries.
Such an ability must be a secret of the Uchiha clan and Ara; it would never have been exposed if it weren't for rescuing their own team.
It's highly unlikely that Iwagakure will proactively reveal such information; in fact, they will try their best to conceal it, because having suffered heavy losses, they would certainly want to hide this time bomb that is at odds with Konoha even deeper.
Only then can it bring the same pain when it is detonated in the future!
Therefore, Baiyun Yeshan did not want to cause trouble for this clan because of his own reasons.
Of course, this is not only what Shirakumo Hayama meant, but also what Tekuno and Kimura Suke meant.
The Uchiha clan was able to enjoy peace here, but it was a different story in Konoha outside their clan's territory. Or to put it more directly, the entire ninja world was thrown into extreme turmoil!
The ground was shattered, headbands were twisted, blood stained the ground for miles, and shattered bones littered the earth.
When these few simple adjectives were conveyed to various factions, no one dared to laugh or say that the Uchiha were a declining clan.
These words describe the scene that the advance team from Konoha witnessed upon arriving at the northern front.
In an instant, all the Konoha ninja present, including the battle-hardened Might Guy, were stunned in the shattered field.
Don't worry, the North is safe.
It was at that time that they truly understood the meaning of what Baiyun Yeshan had said.
Similarly, one begins to speculate about something from a different angle.
After all, it was common knowledge throughout the ninja world that the village and the Uchiha clan had some grudges against each other.
The origin of this grudge, or rather, the point at which it became increasingly serious, seems to have started decades ago after the Nine-Tails' rampage.
That was also the time when the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, returned to power!
Thinking of this, Hiromatsu Heiji's expression became increasingly unnatural, and his resolve began to waver.
Does he really dare to uncover the truth, the truth of this battle?
Chapter 444 The plan to destroy Konoha, he and his family will certainly not refuse.
'Da, da, da!'
As the crisp sound of footsteps approached from afar, a dim yellow light 'floating' in the void gradually became clearer in the field of vision.
