Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch

Chapter 277: On the Way of 'Return'

The news of the arrival of the guests from the Land of Water was delivered to Konoha as quickly as possible, and then quickly passed to Zongxian who was in the Daming Mansion. Zongxian was not surprised by this news. The arrival of Mist Ninja was originally a scheduled things.

It seems that the death of the Fourth Mizukage did not have a great impact on Wu Ninja.

He was still thinking that Mist Ninja might have to wait until next year to send people over. After all, Mist Ninja’s infighting is an old tradition. Even without Uchiha Obito, the shit-stirring stick, there are still many ambitious elements in Mist Gin Village. Ready to move, of course, with that old fellow Yuanshi in charge, the situation in Wuyin Village will not collapse...

But that's not a bad thing.

Today's Kirinin is Konoha's ally, the sooner Kirigakure Village settles down, it means that there is no need to worry that Kirigakure Village will become a plaything in the hands of Uchiha Obito again, although Zongxian doesn't care much about Kirinin now Will it be used by Uchiha Obito again?

But overall, it's not a bad thing.

One more ally is better than one more enemy, at least the hearts of the people in the village will be much more stable.

······
"What does Hokage-sama mean?"

"Formed a joint agency with Mist Shinobi to investigate the mysterious person who claimed to be Uchiha Madara. This matter was proposed by you, Assistant Hokage. No one is more familiar with this matter than you. Master Hokage said that I hope to hand over this matter to you, Assistant Hokage. Come to take charge, so... I want to ask, when do you plan to return to the village?"

Nara Saltwater asked cautiously.

As Hokage's secretary, he was sent by Hokage this time to deliver a message to Zong Xian.

Anyway, the Fifth Hokage himself has not been very responsible for handling official duties these days, and the daily work is temporarily entrusted to Nara Shikaji, the squad leader of the ninja class, and two elder advisors, Hinata Masaoyuki and Kime Koto, and the three of them will work together to replace Hokage-sama to perform their duties. That is to say, only when it comes to major events such as Mist Ninja will we pay attention to one or two.

Because of this, Nara Saltwater, the secretary, was at ease.

This time, he was simply sent out as an envoy.

"Establish a joint investigation agency?"

Zong Xian touched his chin.

This matter was indeed proposed by him, and Mist Ninja also responded positively, but because of the influence of the death of Mizukage Fourth, the Mist Ninja who originally planned to come to Konoha had to postpone their trip, "Mist Ninja Already arrived at Konoha?"

"not yet."

Nara Saltwater shook his head.

"The news was sent back to the village by the Eastern Frontier Defense Force. It was an urgent communication. If it was Kirin, it should be under the escort of the Eastern Frontier Defense Force. If there is no delay on the road, you should be able to arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest. In the village, if it's earlier, maybe it will arrive tomorrow."

"Since there are still two days left, don't be in a hurry for now. I will go back after I pack up the head and tail of the Daming Mansion. Don't worry, it won't take too long, at most it will take three or four days. Master Hokage didn't tell me to hurry up." What if you hurry back?"

"No, no, Hokage-sama just asked me to ask you when you will go back, and how to do it depends on your situation, and you can decide." Nara Saltwater's attitude is respectful, not just because of Zong Xian's toughness Extreme strength, and more importantly, Akimichi Haruka's physical condition is not very good.

Tsunade has not yet found a specific whereabouts.
This "Big Fat Sheep", well-known in the Land of Fire and even in the surrounding countries, owed a large amount of gambling debts. In order to avoid the debt collection of the creditors, he had already honed his top-notch escape and concealment skills. Even though they have found Tsunade's whereabouts, they have not been able to find the real master.

not a clone,

It is a stand-in.

Always failed to contact Tsunade head-on.

And Akimichi Torukaze is old after all, even if he can find Tsunade to cure his illness, but to be honest, he may not be able to occupy the position of Hokage for a long time. The smart people of the Nara family have realized that it is time to consider the fifth generation. What happened after Hokage-sama abdicated.

Therefore,
This made Nara Saltwater to be more cautious when facing Uchiha Zongxian, a strong competitor of the Sixth Hokage.

"That's good, you go back and report to Hokage-sama first, if Mist Ninja arrives at the village first, let them rest for two days, if there is any problem, I will talk about it when I go back." I have been staying in the Daming Mansion for a while, and it is indeed the same Time to go back to the village.

However, the original plan was that he was going to return to Konoha in mid-August. Before that, he had already decided to compete with several people. To take a breath, three or four days may not be enough to deal with these miscellaneous things.

correct,

There is still a soldier who is ready to leave today and return to Mount Katsuragi, and Di Lu is also going back to the Temple of Fire.

"Senior Earth Spider, are you sure you don't need someone to escort you?"

at the gate of the embassy,

Zong Xian is seeing off Xingzhe and others.

After getting along these days, regardless of the relationship between the village and the family, the personal friendship is not bad. The old, the young, and the ninja monk have a very happy conversation around the topic of ninjutsu.

"Don't bother, I can walk from Gecheng Mountain to Daming Mansion, and then go back without any problem, and this is not because there is Di Lu with me." Yazhi Xingzhe declined Zong Xian's kindness with a smile, he didn't mean His current aging and weakness are all disguised, and he can still beat a lot of people with one hand.

It was because he chose to take the initiative to attack when he felt that his health was getting worse, and wiped out those enemies who were in trouble with them as much as possible. Don't worry that someone will trouble the earth spiders.

This is also the reason why he dared to take his granddaughter to leave Katsuragi Mountain.

not to mention,
On the way back, there was still Lu Lu accompanying him, and it seemed that the travelers in service did not need extra guards at all.

Even if Lu Lu can only walk halfway with him.

Although the Temple of Fire and Mount Katsuragi are located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Fire, they are not on the same line, and the land and war walkers will part ways after half a journey.

"Lu Lu, are you really going to leave like this?"

Zong Xian looked at Di Lu who was standing on the left hand side of Ye Zhixing.

"Hema and the others are not in the Daming Mansion, and I have no reason to stay here now. Originally, joining the Guardian Ninja Twelve was temporary. I will go back to the Temple of Fire sooner or later. Now it is just a little earlier. .”

Lu Lu calmly replied.

Since the death of Beigen and others, the guardian ninja twelve warriors have fallen apart, and the bad deeds of Hema and others have been exposed... To be honest, the motivation that drove him to stay in the Daming Mansion during this period was to find Hema and others. The dead Beigen and the others took revenge.

It’s just that Hema and others really escaped from Daming Mansion,

It took more than a month to work with the ninjas of Yuiban to almost turn the Daming Mansion upside down, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of Kazuma and others, and they didn't even find a single clue. As time went by, the anger in his chest at the beginning also gradually dissipated.

I realized that unless Kazuma and others showed up actively, otherwise I am not good at perception ninjutsu and tracking skills, it is basically impossible to find Kazuma and the others. If this continues, it will be a waste of time, but let him continue to stay Daming Mansion is also impossible.

As he himself said,

He has no nostalgia for this place.

Leaving was the best choice and the best result for him.

"In that case, I wish you all the best of luck."

Zong Xian didn't insist on sending someone to see him off, and to be honest, he really didn't have many available men in the Daming Mansion, unless he went out himself, those subordinates were not as powerful as those from Di Lu .

"Thank you Jiyan."

Di Lu clasped his hands together and saluted.

The old man who served as a walker waved his hand very freely, turned around and left with his granddaughter, and the loyal Dunbingwei followed closely behind.

that's it.

Ye Zhixing, his granddaughter Tu Zhiying, his entourage Dunbingwei, and Ji Lu, after saying goodbye to Zong Xian, the group of four went straight to the Daming Mansion.

only--

No one noticed that when the active traveler and others walked out of the Daming Mansion, a gray-brown sparrowhawk also took off from the forest not far from the main entrance of the Daming Mansion. After circling in the air, look for it. He changed his direction and flew towards the depths of the forest.

······
A deserted village in the forest.

Hema and the others have been waiting here for several days, but except for one Xiaohumaru who likes to be noisy, the patience of the others is quite good. In fact, Xiaohumaru is just complaining habitually. He has always been honest and honest, without any outrageous actions.

Until the messenger sparrowhawk croaked and landed on Kazuma's arm.

"Is it finally gone?"

He and Ma read the secret letter brought by Sparrowhawk.

A stern smile appeared on his face.

He said in a loud voice: "Kamanosuke, Tianmu, go and find me all the people, I have to work." With a voice, the radical members of the original guardian ninja twelve quickly gathered, Xiaohumaru Holding the blood-stained sword, he walked in quickly, and the excitement of killing made Sparrowhawk tremble.

"Hema, are you finally going to eat meat?"

"Almost, our target has been confirmed to have left Daming Mansion and is heading northwest." He Ma shook the short secret note in his hand, "However, there is a small problem."

"What's wrong?"

Kamanosuke frowned and looked over.

"Land and land mixed with our target."

"Land?"

"The bald man?"

"How did he get mixed up with the target?"

Kamanosuke, Zizi, and Tianmu showed surprise one after another, but they were just surprised. Apart from not having too many emotional fluctuations, they had already killed Beigen and the others, and they didn't care about the meager friendship of colleagues , but if it is just a land, it will not make them feel afraid.

"Hema, what are you going to do? Get rid of it together? Or..."

Kamanosuke asked.

As Dilu's old opponent, he is well aware of how troublesome the immortals are. Unlike Beigen and their style of attacking strong and defending weakly, Dilu is both offensive and defensive, unless it is a special secret technique or an overwhelming violent attack. , otherwise it would not be an easy task to get rid of Di Lu.

"Of course it's to get rid of that bald man! He was lucky to let him go last time, but who made him blind and brought him to us again."

Xiaohuwan yelled.

Murderous.

"Depending on the situation, the priority target is to capture the traveler alive. As for Dilu... his life or death is not important. If it is convenient, we will clean it up together. If it is inconvenient, we should act according to the original plan. As the first goal, no one is allowed to mess with me."

said,

Kazuma's gaze stayed on Xiaohumaru's face for two seconds.

The reason why I said this specifically is to warn Xiaohumaru not to mess around and ruin his plan.

"whispering sound!"

Little Fox Ball clicked his tongue.

But he didn't say anything, just gave Kazuma an unhappy look.

then,

Under the order of Kazuma, a group of people set off.

The perception ninja, Tianmu, went first, and searched for the whereabouts of Yakuzawa and the others while on the road. Because it was not clear how strong Yakuzawa himself was, and whether he had any secret techniques that they didn't know, so he and the horse in the daimyo When the subordinates of the mansion were in Daming mansion, they dared to sneak in the crowded streets and monitor the Konoha embassy because of the densely populated streets.

But after leaving the Daming Mansion, he would not have the guts to track down a former legend.

What's more, there is Di Lu, a young ninja monk from the Temple of Fire, accompanying him.

Kazuma's subordinates only reported the composition of the personnel of the Yakuzawa and others, when did they leave the Daming Mansion, and in what direction did they go... As for the one or two hours that passed Where did they go, and whether there was a sudden change of route halfway, these could only be tracked and investigated by He Ma and the others.

Fortunately, the perception range of the Celestial Eye Perception Secret Technique is wide enough, as long as Yazhi Xingzhe and others do not suddenly return to the Daming Mansion, or directly use the technique of time and space to get away, and the two possibilities are quite small to be honest, so hurry up with them Before returning to Mount Katsuragi, sooner or later their specific whereabouts will be found.

They first searched along the mainland, thinking that if they couldn't find it,
At that time, I will dig into the woods and look for it.

However, their luck was not wrong. They set off at eight o'clock in the morning, and before twelve o'clock at noon, Tianmu finally found the target. Dalu moved forward, "I saw it, I saw it." The Tianmu squatting on the treetop suddenly opened his eyes and lifted the knot seal in his hand.

"In what direction?"

Ask the horse.

"Just at our eight o'clock direction, in the forest more than 600 meters away, there is a small stream. The four of them are resting by the stream." Excited, don't look at the look that has always been quite calm, but as a perception ninja, he can more or less feel Kazuma's high emotions.

"Are you resting?"

He Ma took a deep breath, adjusted the four-bladed iron claws on his hands, and ordered: "The action begins."
