Is territorial division a prerequisite for taking action?

After pondering silently, Huang stopped and, after looking around, randomly chose a narrow alley and walked in.

Just as these thugs and thugs have a territorial hunting principle of non-aggression, they also have a bottom line of not provoking others first.

Entrapment is naturally not included in this category.

And the main reason is that he didn't find the person he was looking for right away.

In the end, seven years had passed since Huang first passed through this town.

Time flies, and it's perfectly normal for things to change and people to change.

"Haha, you've got the path to heaven but not the path to hell, so you've chosen to walk right into it."

"This is our territory, and it's our opening day! Men, follow me!!"

With an extremely excited announcement, a muscular man with a black eyepatch over his left eye, revealing a fleshy upper body and looking like a pirate except for the missing hat, picked up a machete hidden in the street and took the lead towards the narrow alley.

The dozens of his underlings behind him did the same. After showing off their power and asserting their dominance to the other forces around them, they followed their leader and chased after them.

Seeing this, the other followers who had also sneaked here, though unwilling, did not leave immediately.

After all, such unexpected mishaps are commonplace here and in this country.

Moreover, isn't it more interesting for thieves to double-cross each other?

After receiving a menacing look from his boss, one of the henchmen immediately understood and turned to run off in a certain direction. His intention was clear: to call in reinforcements and pull off a big heist!

However, before the local thugs could receive their reinforcements, the well-dressed, young-looking boy emerged from the narrow alley again.

"Ha ha!"

"That kid actually came out again, our chance has come!"

Upon seeing the frail-looking stranger, his ferocious expression immediately blossomed like a flower.

However, a strong sense of vigilance arose in his heart the next second.

Because Yu was not followed by the previous group of people!

And he didn't believe that those vicious bastards would be so merciful as to let the little lamb swagger out.

What exactly happened inside in that brief moment?

The leader's trembling gaze shifted from the boy, eager to explore the scene inside the alley, and even more eager to see and hear the bastard who had always been at odds with them running out of the alley in a fit of rage, growling, "Kid, don't run away!"

However, the cold words that reached my ears were:

"Hey, take me to see the Wind Demon Dragonfly."

Upon closer inspection, the figure of the young man had already filled her field of vision.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his pupils constricted sharply.

In the end, no other group of people appeared in his sight, and the name they blurted out made his heart tremble.

"Who is the Wind Demon Dragonfly? I don't know her."

He responded with the last shred of pride in his heart, but his terrifying, ferocious expression from a moment ago had now cowered into a trembling little white rabbit.

After all, the first essential thing to survive on this street, besides being fierce and ruthless, is to have good judgment!

The fact that the team that was previously evenly matched with their own had suddenly disappeared without a trace was enough to tell the story.

The opponent is very strong, at least much stronger than myself!

"Perhaps there used to be a ninja clan called Fuma here, but they left several years ago. I don't know exactly where they went, but it seems they were recruited by someone else."

His gaze shifted, as if to make his words more convincing to the former, and he quickly added.

At the same time, his hands hanging at his sides were subtly making restraining gestures to the gradually rioting underlings around him, indicating that this was an unapproachable force!

"Oh, is it so?"

This answer clearly did not satisfy Huang, because he had already found some useful memories in the minds of that group of clueless guys from before.

The band of thugs in front of us are affiliated with the former Wind Demon Clan.

Of course, it was the defunct Fuma clan; otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't dare to compete with a ninja clan for territory.

"Yes, it is."

"Sir, please let us go and let us leave."

"We did nothing, we did nothing!"

The young leader of the Fuuma family mustered his courage and continued, realizing that the boy before him was not an overly violent or forceful individual; otherwise, he would have ended up in a different situation.

Upon hearing this, Huang did not reply, but a crimson hue gradually appeared in his eyes.

He didn't find any information about the Wind Demon Dragonfly in the memories of the group he had just met, but since this thug was affiliated with the Wind Demon clan, he should have some related memories in his mind.

As for why he insisted on finding the other party, it was because Granny Cat was unable to find information about Orochimaru's construction of the Sound Village in the Land of Fields in the first instance.

Or rather, several areas with similar strongholds have been identified, but it is still uncertain which one is the stronghold where Shimura Danzo is currently hiding.

Therefore, Ara chose to hide his headband and crest, which could reveal his identity, and came directly to the Land of Fields.

Although if Grandma Cat is given a little more time, she will surely be able to find the other party's hiding place.

However, Danzo Shimura was far too cunning; he was as alert as a cat that had smelled blood at the slightest disturbance.

Huang couldn't wait, nor did he dare to gamble on whether the former would flee to a more distant and remote place after learning that the mountain wind and the aburame torrent had failed.

Most importantly, the Fuma clan, which he had previously encountered, was located here, and Fuma Dragonfly was the clan's acting leader at the time.

At that time, she even wanted to swear allegiance to herself.

Although as many years have passed, Ara cannot be certain whether the other party's will to be loyal still exists, as a native ninja clan, he must have some understanding of the Otogakure village established by Orochimaru.

However, just as the Sharingan in his eyes was trying to read the thug leader, a sharp shout came from afar, accompanied by a cacophony of footsteps.

"Who dares to cause trouble on my turf!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, the henchman who had left to deliver the message had returned, followed by a group of menacing thugs. They were armed with a variety of weapons, such as machetes and axes, but most of them were crossbows, which were highly effective at long-range attacks.

This attire makes him look exactly like a bandit.

The one who spoke up was clearly the burly man at the head of the group, carrying a huge horse-slaying sword on his shoulder.

"Lord Hanzaki, be careful! Mikawa and his gang haven't shown up since they went into the alley!"

"And this guy is here to find the Wind Demon Clan!!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the petty leader's panicked heart instantly stirred, and even his involuntary trembling body regained its strength, causing him to roar hoarsely.

"Looking for us?"

"Are you an envoy from the Hidden Sound Village?"

"Most of our companions have already been taken away by you, and the once-mighty Wind Demon Clan no longer exists. Does that lord still refuse to let us go?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the burly man carrying the saber suddenly lost his previous imposing manner.

After all, the fact that the other party could easily defeat a small group of dozens of people and knew the name of the Fuma clan clearly proved that they were not to be trifled with and were very likely ninjas.

Even judging from his physique, this unfamiliar visitor was not strong and was quite young.

But in this turbulent Land of Fields, Fuma Hanzaki knew very well that the strength of a ninja could never be judged by appearance or age.

Just like a long, long time ago, their clan had also encountered a powerful young man.

However, nowadays, he has only heard about the other party's reputation through certain channels and rumors, and has never seen him again.

What's even more heartbreaking is that the family behind that person is probably not much better off than their Wind Demon Clan now.

"Fuuma Hanzaki?"

A cold voice came from the newcomer, and the burly man, who was full of vigilance and indignation, froze the moment he turned around.

What came into view was an extremely young face.

Perhaps we could also add a qualifier before "young": both unfamiliar and familiar.

Especially when he met those crimson eyes that swirled with jet-black tomoe, all the memories suppressed in his heart began to surge, and the two cross-shaped scars on his back throbbed with pain.

"you are?"

"No, you are Yu, you are Lord Huang!"

He possessed a keen eye far surpassing that of his companions. Upon noticing that the boy was not wearing a headband belonging to Konoha or clothing symbolizing his family crest, he immediately changed his address, concealing the extremely sensitive family name.

"Where are the dragonflies?"

Huang clearly recognized the man in his field of vision, especially his horse-slaying sword, which was half a person's height.

"The eldest sister,"

"Please come with me."

Upon hearing such a direct address by name, Fuma Hanzaki immediately became certain of his suspicions.

He seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and his waving arms were a clear signal to his men to put down their weapons.

His attitude made the expressions of the thugs present extremely complicated. After all, he was their boss, and a genuine ninja, an absolute top figure on this inn street!

Now, however, he is treating a complete stranger from out of town with utmost respect.

Such a contrast left them somewhat bewildered and incredulous.

"Seal off this place. No one is allowed to step out of the town, including those troublesome gang leaders. And tell them that if they insist on going their own way, they can't blame me, Fuma Hanzaki, for being ruthless!"

Before leaving, he instructed his underlings to scrutinize these details to prevent gossip from outsiders from causing trouble for his trip.

Of course, the reason why he, who is usually so vicious, would choose to be so respectful was not only because the other party was really strong, but also because the name of Uchiha was enough to make him feel awe.

The more important reason is that the boy in front of him is his own boss, or rather, the savior that the remaining Wind Demon Clan has been waiting for!

As for Orochimaru, what that guy promised is absolutely impossible to fulfill!

Because those lies have already come true for those companions who left the family.

"Ah."

Huang didn't doubt him and followed Fuma Hanzaki straight to another corner of the town. As for the matter of blocking the news... In fact, when the Sharingan was activated, apart from Hanzaki, the other thugs had no impression of him.

The only thing I remember is my boss's order to seal off the town.
