Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Why stay in Damingfu?

Moonlight Hayate didn't quite understand the Hokage's decision to assist the Lord. The argument of hunting down Kazuma and others was really unconvincing. He didn't think those people would be stupid enough to return to Daming Mansion at this time.

but--

As a guard, he couldn't make decisions for the Hokage, he could only obey orders.

Fortunately, the time spent in Daming Mansion is not boring. To be honest, this period of time is of great benefit. The Hokage, who is also idle and has nothing to do, spends most of his time on training every day, which makes people a little suspicious. Is this adult escaping from the complicated and busy work in the village?

And in the small part of time that remains,

The Hokage Assistant will also give them some pointers. Although he and Yuhi Kurenai are seniors in terms of age, it is a pity that age cannot be directly linked to strength. In front of Uchiha Sogen, Moonlight Hayate and Yuhi Hong is an out-and-out 'junior'.

For more than a month,

Under the guidance of Sozuru, Moonlight Hayate, who originally thought it was difficult to make progress in the bottleneck period of Konoha-style swordsmanship, once again achieved a breakthrough, and Yuhi Kurenai also got the opportunity to face the Sharingan illusion to polish her own illusions. In addition, they also I was fortunate enough to witness Assistant Hokage compete with masters from all over the Land of Fire, which greatly broadened my horizons.

Yes,

Zong Xian has stayed in Daming Mansion for more than a month and a half.

During these days, Zongxian was not really completely immersed in practice every day. After all, if he insisted on practice and returned to Konoha, he would be more comfortable and comfortable. He also did a lot of things during the month and a half he stayed in Daming Mansion. Every few days, he would try his best to invite people to compete.

Daming Mansion is the capital of the Fire Country.

Not only is it highly prosperous economically, it also attracts the best of ninjas and ninja families from all over the Fire Country to gather here. As the saying goes, those who have learned literary and martial arts will bring goods to the emperor's family. Ninjas are not without food. People who are fireworks in the world.

It would be better to say that on the contrary, non-productive ninjas are extremely dependent on the support of national power.

Therefore, in Daming Mansion, you can see many ninjas from ninjas and ninja families that you can't see in Konoha at all, and those who dare to come to Daming Mansion and make a name for themselves are all masters, even if Even in Konoha, he is not an unknown person.

Zongxian is competing with these powerful people.

Achieve overwhelming victory in one-on-one, one-on-two, or one-on-many battles. Through victory after victory, he declares to the ninjas and ninja families in the Land of Fire that Konoha is powerful and cannot be provoked. Let those ambitious people conscientiously curb their untimely ambitions.

after all,

As the saying goes, it is better to hear something a thousand times than to experience it once.

No matter how many rumors I heard about how powerful Konoha is, it would be better to come and experience the power of Uchiha in person!

However, in the process of discussing with others, Zongxian also got some unexpected joy. Most of these ninja clans and ninja families were inherited from the Warring States Period. The current situation is different for each, but without exception they are all the same. With their own inheritance and trump cards, he has never seen such a rare thing as the Blood Succession Boundary, but he has already seen many wonderful secret techniques and forbidden techniques.

correct,

Zongxian's behavior was approved by the fire lord.

Just as Zongxuan intends to use absolute power to subdue the large number of ninjas who do not belong to Konoha in the Land of Fire, the daimyo also wants to have a clearer understanding of how strong Zongxuan is. Without the daimyo secretly adding fuel to the fire, To be honest, Zongxian may not be able to invite masters to compete with each other so easily.

only--

As the battles passed, Zongxuan won with an overwhelming advantage every time. This result made the daimyo feel very complicated. The prosperity of Konoha meant that the Fire Nation would enjoy a long period of peace, but But it also means that the chances of Kazuma and others succeeding are extremely small.

······

It's another scorching day. The sky is so clear that it gives people an incredible feeling. Looking up, the sky looks like a piece of flawless blue glass with no clouds at all. The blazing sunshine shines without any hindrance. touching the earth below.

"Hayate, who is this old man? You actually asked the adult to go out to greet him in person." At the entrance of the embassy, ​​Yuhi Hong stood in the corner of the crowd, stretched out her hand to poke Moonlight Hayate next to her, and asked in a low voice.

"It's the [Walker]."

Moonlight Hayate was looking intently at the two people talking in front of them.

One of them is Zong Xian, and the other is an old man with white beard and eyebrows. He is wearing a coarse robe. He doesn't look like there is anything special about him. The only thing that is special is probably his eyebrows and beard that are much longer than ordinary people. Bar!

"Walker of the servitude?"

Yuhi Hong blinked, "What a strange name?"

She obviously didn't know who this warrior was.

"It's not a name, it's a title."

Moonlight Hayate looked over in surprise, "Red, have you really never heard of this name?"

"No."

Yuhi Hong shook her head honestly.

She really didn't know what the name represented.

"Okay! But to say the least, the Warrior Walker... was mainly active a few decades ago. It's not surprising if I don't know about it." Moonlight Swift Wind expressed his understanding of the reason why he knew about the Warrior Walker. , because he saw this name in his grandfather's practice notes, and then went to the library to check the relevant information. As a result, he was investigated by the ANBU because of this.

"Yu-no-Wyker is a title, just like an adult is called [Enma], Yu-no-Walker is also an honorific title. He is a member of the Katsuragi Mountain Spider Clan..."

He quickly and quietly explained to Kurenai Yuhi what the meaning of Ichiban Battle Walker was.

This name comes from legends. It is said that thousands of years ago in the ninja world, there was a monk named "Yu Xiaokaku". This monk followed the Six Paths Sage to study ninjutsu and Buddhism. After decades of hard practice, he had the ability to control demons and ghosts. Afterwards, he was entrusted by the Immortal of Six Paths with the task of clearing out the demons causing trouble on the earth. It is said that it took him more than ten years to finally clean up all the demons causing trouble. Because of his great achievements, the Immortal of Six Paths gave him the reputation of "Walker". .

Even now, there are still many places enshrining the statue of this 'Walker', such as the Fire Temple is one of them.

This is the origin of the name "Yu Zhi Xing Zhi".

The real name of this warrior is Chihara, a native of the Earth Spider Clan in Mount Katsuragi. It is also an ancient family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. He was invited by the First Hokage to join Konoha. Unfortunately, the leader of the Earth Spider Clan at that time was A stubborn conservative who sticks to the rules of his clan and is unwilling to make any changes.

However, the Earth Spider clan has the corresponding confidence to dare to reject the First Hokage. Their clan inherits a forbidden technique with extremely destructive power. In addition, there is also a unique secret technique that is passed down from generation to generation in the clan. The Earth Spider Chihara relies on it. The honorific title "Walker of the Battle" is derived from the forbidden arts and secret arts passed down from the clan.

"This... is so exaggerated."

Yuhi Hong looked strange.

I didn't expect that this sounds a bit unclear, and that a name that is far less domineering than 'Fire Demon' could have such an incredible origin.

"It's a pity that the forbidden techniques of the Earth Spider Clan are top secret. I was investigated by the ANBU for checking the information of the warriors in the village, but nothing was found. Instead, I got into a lot of trouble." Moonlight Hayate recalled that paragraph. Unlucky experience, I sighed helplessly.

But he immediately cheered up, because Zong Xian and the campaign travelers ended their greetings and began to move to the embassy, ​​and their entourage also had to move with them.

The guest is not just a traveler.

There are also the granddaughter and entourage who came with the conscripts.

The reception room of the embassy,

Zongxuan sat down on the sofa and looked at Yu Zhiyue and his granddaughter Earth Spider Hotaru who were sitting opposite without concealing their curiosity. Of course, the latter was only a child of six or seven years old, and he should be about the same age as Touka and Naruto. Big, after taking a brief look, he focused his attention on the warrior warrior soil spider Chihara.

He was very curious about the purpose of this warrior's visit.

Yes,

The traveler is not a guest invited by Zong Xian.

During this time, he has been fighting with masters from all over the Fire Country who are temporarily staying in Daming Palace. However, the warrior is not in Daming Palace. To be precise, since the end of the Third Ninja World War, this old man has been living in seclusion. In Mount Katsuragi, the travelers from this battle took the initiative to visit, and they came as an ally of Konoha Village.

The identity of this important ally is not false;

The Earth Spider Clan is indeed an ally of Konoha, and they are not the kind of subordinates who are completely dependent on Konoha. The two sides have established an alliance of equality and mutual assistance. Yakuza no Kyoko himself helped Konoha ninjas during the Second Ninja War. He fought against the Kumo Ninja on the frontline battlefield, and it was during that confrontation with the Kumo Ninja that he used the forbidden technique of the Earth Spider Clan to destroy the town occupied by the Kumo Ninja, thus becoming famous in the ninja world.

As a condition for inviting the campaigners to take action, Konoha and the Earth Spider Clan entered into a covenant of equal and mutual assistance, stipulating that when the Earth Spider Clan is in need, Konoha must rush to the rescue when the Earth Spider Clan is in crisis, and those who signed this covenant It was the deceased Sandaime Hokage.

perhaps,

Is this the purpose of Yizhi Xingzhi?

"Senior Earth Spider, it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, but... rather than beating around the bush, I think it is more appropriate to ask directly, so as not to cause misunderstandings, which will not be very good. What is the purpose of this sudden visit? ?"

No more detours,

Instead, go straight to the point.

Zong Xian had already gone through enough twists and turns during the greetings at the door, and it was really torturous to ramble on for a long time.

The warrior sat peacefully on the sofa, his calm posture worthy of his name, and he did not waver even in the face of Zongxuan's somewhat aggressive gaze, "I came to visit the Hokage Assistant this time to confirm something. thing."

The old man spoke slowly.

The hoarse, deep voice was full of vicissitudes of life and old age.

"Is it a covenant?"

"······correct."

The old man nodded in admission.

"The covenant I made with the Sandaime Hokage originally stipulated that when our Earth Spider Clan encounters a crisis that is difficult to resolve, Konoha must come to the rescue... I would like to ask, what does Konoha plan to do with this covenant? Do you admit it?"

The traveler stared directly at Zong Xian, waiting for his reply.

"This question...Senior Earth Spider, I am just the Hokage's assistant. I have no authority to deal with such a big matter. If you come to ask me, you are asking the wrong person. You should ask the Hokage for this question. Only the Hokage can answer it." your problem."

"Although I'm almost too old to walk, my brain is still not too old to move. I know the Godaime Hokage. Although I'm not very familiar with him, I understand him as a person. If it's him, I will not deny this covenant between my clan and Konoha. What I want to confirm is whether Konoha will still recognize this covenant in the further future?"

"Farther into the future?"

Zong Xian laughed, what he said was very interesting!

"Senior Tu Spider, I don't quite understand what you mean by this?"

"The Fifth Hokage is the same generation as the Third Hokage. Although he is younger than me, he is not young anymore. The future still belongs to young people like you, the Hokage Assistant." Yoshihiro looked at the young man in front of him. The excessive Hokage assisted him, his face was calm, but his heart was unstoppable.

Regarding the covenant, since he heard about the death of the Sandaime Hokage last year and learned that the Sandaime Hokage died in a disgraceful way, he has been worried about whether Konoha will still fulfill this covenant. After all, if Konoha planned If we deny the achievements established by the Sandaime Hokage in the past, then this covenant will be broken sooner or later.

Especially as he gets older, he can already smell the approaching breath of death.

the days to come,

There is not much left.

If he couldn't confirm whether this covenant was valid, he really couldn't close his eyes with peace of mind. After all, there really weren't any outstanding juniors in the Earth Spider clan in the past few decades, and several of the juniors who were once promising were also attracted by forbidden techniques. The voyeurs also died one after another.

So much so that we are now facing the embarrassing situation of having no successors.

Once he dies,

The earth spider clan possessing forbidden magic is destined to become a delicacy in the eyes of many people.

In order to avoid the worst outcome, he has been investigating the current situation of Konoha these days. After some investigation, his eyes were fixed on a young man named 'Uchiha Sogen', and he looked at the information After listing all the records, in an instant, it was like seeing the man who was almost unrivaled in the ninja world and was called [Shura].

however,

Back then, the First Hokage suppressed that Shura.

There is no second Senju Hashirama in Konoha now.

then,

He is sure.

As long as Uchiha Munesuru didn't die, sooner or later a Hokage from the Uchiha clan would appear in Konoha. So after learning that Uchiha Munesuru was temporarily staying in Daming Mansion, he walked out with his granddaughter and old servant. Katsuragi-san, who had not left for many years, came to Daming Mansion to pay a visit to the Uchiha clan leader and Konoha's Hokage assistant.

He wants a clear answer here.

Only after confirming this answer,

Only then could he close his eyes in peace.

Of course, the premise is that the answer is an ideal answer. If you get an unideal answer... then you have to think of another solution.

"Interesting! Really interesting!"

The smile on Zong Xian's face became more and more obvious.

He looked at the old man and asked: "Senior Tu Spider, aren't you worried that you may make a mistake? If you make a wrong bet, the Tu Spider family may be affected by this."

“There’s always a choice!”

Yizhi Xingzhe replied calmly: "You can't be a fence-sitter who doesn't please both sides, right? Even if I really make a wrong bet, there is nothing to regret. I have done everything I can for the family." Yes, even if you go to the underworld, you will not face the ancestors of all generations without shame."

"Besides, I don't think I'm going to make mistakes. To put it bluntly, my more than seventy years of life have not been wasted in vain." He stretched out his fingers and pointed at his eyes, "These old eyes have also seen I have passed many people, and heroes like you, Hokage, are second to none among those I have seen in my life."

This is the truth from his heart,

Looking at Uchiha Sozuru in front of him, he could not help but think of that man who was as terrifying as a demon. If it hadn't been for the First Hokage to stop him, he would have almost killed all the ninja families in the Land of Fire who refused to join Konoha's invitation. Uprooted man.
