Great Unification of the Ninja World

Chapter 362 Trapped!

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky was as dark as ink.

The Lizi Tofu Shop located at the east end of Hefeng Town suddenly turned on the lights.

Xuanwu Baijue came out of the ground and released Uchiha Nami and Uchiha Rinko from his body.

"The safety of the two adults is up to you."

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

His Highness the Kingdom of Fire and Lizi at the side looked at each other without any surprise, and nodded in response.

"Then I'll go first."

Xuanwu Baijue nodded, then his body slipped into the ground and disappeared.

Rinko Uchiha came to Reiko, sighed and said, "I'm going to cause you trouble."

"Master Rinko, if you say that, you will be offended." Reiko smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to hold Uchiha Rinko's arm, and said, "During the chaos in Fenghuo City last time, Dalang, Shichiro, and I also gave a lot. You are causing trouble, so this time you can stay with us in peace."

Uchiha Rinko was quite moved when she heard this, she patted Reiko's arm and said nothing more.

On the other side, it was much easier for the two men to communicate.

I saw that His Highness boldly took Uchiha Nami's hand and went to the front hall, intending to get drunk with this friend who came from afar.

After a while, the food and drink were ready, and His Royal Highness, as the host, poured a full bottle of wine for Uchiha Nami.

"Brother, you did it right this time! The spirits I bought in Fenghuo City yesterday are delicious."

Although His Highness only had one arm left, he still toasted in a chic manner.

The haze in Uchiha Nami's heart was dispelled a lot by His Royal Highness's pride.

He happily raised his glass and drank it down.

The clarified wine is only spicy at the entrance, but it has an incomparably sweet aftertaste, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Hiss, the taste is really good!" Uchiha Nami praised.

"Haha! Have fun! Drinking with friends is the most comfortable."

His Highness laughed, and after drinking a full glass, he filled another glass for Uchiha Nami.

"Brother, please!"

He knew that Uchiha Nami was not in a very good mood right now, so he kept drinking.

After all, after sobering up, many troubles that were left in my heart before will no longer exist.

……

The next day.

When Uchiha Nami woke up, it was already daylight.

"My head is so dizzy..."

Uchiha Nami came to the wooden table, sat down, and rubbed his dizzy head once and for all.

At this moment, His Highness came in with a food box.

"Already awake, that beautiful brother!"

His Royal Highness put the food box on the table, smiled at Uchiha Nami, then he opened the food box, a piece of tofu mixed with scallions, and a piece of tofu with green vegetables were placed in front of Uchiha Nami in sequence.

"I told my sister-in-law, in front of outsiders, you just say that you are my distant cousin."

"it is good."

Uchiha Nami nodded.

At this moment, the stomach suddenly growled inappropriately.

His Highness smiled without saying a word, handed Uchiha Nami a pair of chopsticks, then turned and left.

To be honest, he wasn't worried about this crisis at all.Because the chess player is the man who is awe-inspiring - Uchiha Mizuki.

But in fact, Uchiha Miyue, who was far away on the snowy mountains in the outskirts of the Snow Country, was not feeling well. Not only did he lose his body, but his strength also became weak.

Last night, there were even a few gloomy whispers constantly echoing in his ears.

"I underestimated the Immortal of the Six Paths. I never thought he would think of such a way to imprison me here."

A nearly transparent figure lay weakly on the ground, scanning left and right.

Directly ahead, the blue lamp on the tribute table seemed to be extinguished at any moment, and the bitter cold wind poured in from the dilapidated door panel, blowing the flames to sway from side to side, flickering on and off.

Uchiha Miyue vaguely felt that once this light was extinguished, he would die. As for what would happen after death, he couldn't imagine, but he was sure of one thing:
If he dies this time, then everything is over.

Then, Uchiha Mizuki turned his attention to the stone statue not far away.

"A stone statue that has nothing to do with me...I feel a very strong...repulsion from it...It seems to hate me, an uninvited guest..."

"...the whispers in my ears still exist...this is a language I have never heard...the voice is very low...but very dense...it seems to be eroding my consciousness..."

A deep sense of powerlessness spread over my heart.

This is the first time Uchiha Mizuki has felt at a loss since crossing.

Gradually, the flames burning on the green lantern dimmed again, and the phantom on the ground shrank into a ball and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Leaf Village.

Hokage Building, conference room.

"...The fourth generation is gone..." Tsunade sighed, "However, the village cannot live without Hokage, so the main content of this meeting is to select the fifth generation."

After speaking, there was a silence in the conference room.

Because in the eyes of everyone, Uchiha Miyue is not missing, but dead. Thinking of this, they feel heavy in their hearts.

In the past six years, each of them has respected Uchiha Mizuki, and that voice from the heart of Hokage-sama is the best proof.

But now, that wise and gentle boy has left them.

He and his era may also become history with the succession of the next Hokage.

This has to be said to be a pity.

Thinking of this, everyone sighed.

The third Hokage sitting in the first row was a little moved when he heard this, but before he could speak, Danzo on the side broke the silence first.

"I recommend Namikaze Minato to succeed Hokage."

This is the emergency plan left by Uchiha Mitsuki. In case of any accident, Namikaze Minato will be the successor with the highest priority.

Of course, this was not decided by Uchiha Miyue alone, but the result of several high-level executives sitting down and discussing together.

"I have no opinion!"

"I do not have either!"

"Reconsideration!"

"Reconsideration!"

Starting from Nara Shikayo, the class leader of the ninja class, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade expressed their attitudes in turn.

In an instant, Minato became the focus of the audience.

"It's a good choice to choose Minato-sama as the fifth generation."

A jonin discussed with his companion next to him.

"Who said no?" Another person nodded. "Mizumon-sama is Jianyue-sama's close friend, and I support whoever of the two of them will be Hokage."

"well said!"

The other Jonin who heard the conversation between the two also nodded in agreement.

Minato was a little uneasy, or rather, he was very nervous now.

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo suddenly stood up and gave Minato a sorry smile.

"I think there's something wrong with that proposal."

"Although Minato is the top choice in terms of ability, prestige, and strength, it is still too early for him to be the Hokage."
