But isn't it normal for young people to verbally attack each other out of anger?
Furthermore, the relationship between the two is that of a clan chief and a clan member, which makes even more sense.
She convinced herself of the minor flaws in her words.
"Oh? This is quite an interesting sparring match."
"So, can I assume that this is because the ninja in the battle lacked strength and brought this upon himself after provoking the opponent?"
Maki asked the Sarutobi clan ninja with a sarcastic expression.
"Even if it's just a friendly spar, is it necessary to go to such lengths?"
"Among them are geniuses from the Hyuga clan. As the clan head of the village, he should know what is important and what is not, and he should know that some resources are non-renewable!"
"Or is it that your genin spar with each other in this way?"
Sensing the provocative gaze from the Sand Village's Jonin leader, Sarutobi Shinga retorted without backing down.
They are even trying to win over the Hyuga allies on the same side.
This clan has been vying with the Uchiha for the title of the number one clan in Konoha for a long time, so they should be a potential partner for alliance.
However, the ninjas from the Hyuga clan who arrived seemed to ignore such a direct invitation and remained silent throughout.
Because Hinata is the person he cares about most.
"So, that's why I said Konoha's rules only apply to the Uchiha clan?"
"Take a close look at the consent form you drafted."
"It is confirmed that any injuries or deaths that occur during the trial will be the sole responsibility of the individual and will have nothing to do with Konoha."
"If this had happened in the training grounds, these provocateurs would probably have become food for wild beasts and poisonous insects."
"blame?"
"Shouldn't you be grateful?"
Maki was clearly waiting for such a statement, so he immediately tossed a piece of paper with black and white text, the "Participation Agreement," in front of the other party like a flying flower.
"Furthermore, since you have chosen to become a ninja, you should be prepared to die."
He added sternly.
He also believed that his attitude was enough to show goodwill to the Uchiha clan's leader, Toru.
As Sarutobi Shinga took the paper, his expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural.
He was naturally aware of the competition rules, which is the fundamental reason why this place is known as the Forest of Death.
However, this cannot be a reason for them to back down.
"However, he intended to poison his companions who came to stop him."
"Even their own kind showed no respect for the rules, slaughtering the Dark Guard!"
"Is this common within your forces as well?"
A question burst forth from Sarutobi Shinga's mouth, delivered through gritted teeth.
These two points alone are enough to establish the evidence that he betrayed the village.
Upon hearing this, Maki's expression suddenly froze slightly.
His gaze involuntarily shifted backward, landing on the team member carrying the sand gourd. He wanted to say directly that it was indeed the case.
But family scandals should not be aired in public.
"Four Konoha Jonin went forward together to stop Uchiha and Uchiha Ara."
Temari also felt the gaze of her team leader, but she mistakenly thought that the former was telling her to continue speaking.
When mentioning that person's name, she paused slightly before carefully mentioning it directly.
"what?"
"Four Jonin simultaneously stopping one person? Or is it targeting the one who is passively responding?"
"Did I hear correctly?"
"You said that Ara is a senior in your ninja way, but I do remember that he was only fifteen, right?"
"Seriously, that's hilarious."
"If I were one of those four Konoha Jonin, I would have committed suicide out of shame long ago!!"
Of course, such a statement was merely intended to provoke.
After all, he could tell that among the four Jonin were elites like Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi!
If these pillars of Konoha could be driven to their deaths with words, just like the White Fang of Konoha, that would be a real blessing for Sunagakure.
"As for the deaths of the Dark Guard members you mentioned..."
"What kind of ANBU would attack two of their own ninjas who weren't even participating in the battle for no reason? And they even brought out their ninja tools!"
"Are they trying to capture me, or to eliminate me outright?"
"Could it be because they are Uchiha Ara's teammates?"
"Or is this a rule of collective punishment that you've set up for those associated with the Uchiha clan?"
"In my opinion, this is perfectly legitimate self-defense."
"Those few ANBU ninjas died a worthy death."
Maki has completely taken sides, and his words are becoming increasingly sharp.
After all, someone who can single-handedly hold off four Konoha Jonin is someone our side desperately needs!
Chapter 486 The Bureau is Gone.
[Damn Sunagakure!]
Sarutobi Shinji cursed inwardly as he was constantly being rebuffed.
"In any case, this has nothing to do with Sunagakure."
"As a guest, you should act like a guest!"
"This is Konoha."
"Please respect yourself."
He glared at the increasingly arrogant Sand Village Jonin and retorted through gritted teeth.
And unlike the third generation before him,
At this moment, he was far from realizing the seriousness of the problem, and only thought that this so-called ally wanted to belittle his side and elevate himself in front of the Jonin of various forces in this occasion.
After all, so-called allies are nothing but empty words.
"Oh—, I see."
"Yes, I was indeed rude and rash in this matter."
"I apologize, Third Hokage."
The re-emphasis on factionalism prevented Maki from clinging to the issue any longer.
Ultimately, this all falls under the other party's internal affairs.
"Humph."
"It's good to know!"
Seeing the other side show weakness, Sarutobi Shinga's face, besides indignation, also revealed a hint of relaxation. He even wanted to subtly reprimand the Uchiha clan members beside him to quickly surrender and beg for forgiveness.
However, they overlooked one thing.
The ninjas of Sunagakure, who live in the desert, possess a capriciousness and ruthlessness far exceeding that of ordinary forces.
Once you've made up your mind about something, it's not easy to back down.
Moreover, their ultimate goal this time is to obtain fertile land suitable for growing crops, which is something they are determined to achieve!
After offering a perfunctory apology, Maki also shifted his gaze from the Third Hokage to the composed young man, and then spoke in a deep and steady voice:
"However, one thing is certain: such a thing would never happen in Sunagakure."
“A distinguished and veteran clan like the Uchiha would only be honored guests, not relocated to the outskirts of the village and treated with such special discrimination.”
"To stop a conflict between genin, it's a waste of resources to mobilize several ANBU squads."
"Could it be that they consider the Uchiha clan an enemy that needs to be dealt with by force?"
Mamoto wanted to use more radical terms like 'expel' and 'isolate' to express himself and the attitude of Sunagakure.
However, after considering the potential misunderstandings, they still chose to proceed with the relationship step by step.
He also believed that the person who had managed to maintain and protect a clan that was now reduced to only the old, weak, and disabled was definitely not some ordinary person who relied solely on good luck or sheer courage!
Of course, Maki's direct naming of the hidden ANBU ninjas at the end was also to further divide the bond between the Uchiha clan and Konoha. By emphasizing the word "enemy," he clearly intended to provoke direct conflict between the two.
Otherwise, if the former doesn't want to break ties with the Third Hokage, or if they still have a sense of shared hatred for their homeland, then their efforts would be in vain.
However, a faint smile soon appeared on his usually stern face.
"Um,"
"Four fully-equipped secret service units, no, plus this team of useless bastards."
"The Third Hokage has really gone to great lengths for me."
Huang responded casually.
Since the method is intentionally trying to win me over, why not do it?
This back-and-forth exchange instantly ignited Sarutobi Shinwa's inner fire.
"The division of Konoha's territory was arranged by the Hokage according to the needs of each clan. The area where the Uchiha clan is located is precisely because it is close to the Nanka Shrine of that clan."
"Do these detailed arrangements really need to be reported to Sunagakure?"
He shouted at them sternly.
