A few days later.
A team entered the territory of the country of River.
Under Danzo’s order, hundreds of people from the caravan were all taken as hostages and detained in Konoha.
Only Yoshihiko and a few members of the caravan, escorted by the third Anbu detachment, came to the deep mountains of River Country to look for the legendary lightning Stone.
“How long will it take to arrive?” The Anbu captain asked Yoshihiko impatiently.
“The ruins of the empire are located in the northwest of the Kingdom of River. We should be able to arrive in one day at most.” Yoshihiko answered carefully.
Hearing this, the captain of the anbu snorted coldly:
“I’m warning you, it’s best not to play tricks.”
“Yes, sir.”
Yoshihiko nodded quickly, but it was impossible not to be careful.
He had long heard about the fifth generation Hokage Danzo’s character. It could be said that he was ruthless and unscrupulous, especially treating human life as nothing.
Not to mention outsiders, even the ninjas of Konoha were killed by Danzo himself, no less than thousands of them.
Based on Danzo’s style, after successfully obtaining the lightning Stone, he would definitely order the Anbu to kill Yoshihiko and others, leaving no one behind.
Moreover, Yoshihiko was not willing to just hand over the Stone. After all, it was a treasure that the wandering people had guarded for generations.
So.
At night, when the team camped in the forest.
While the Anbu people were not paying attention, Yashiko released the ferret Niroko in his sleeve. It is the royal pet of the ancient empire. It is not only humane, but also has many powerful abilities.
“Niroko, our lives depend on you. We must find the Uchiha clan and ask them for support. Do you understand?”
Yoshihiko warned the ferret with a serious face.
As soon as Niroko turned around, he slipped into the bushes on the side, then sniffed the air with his nose, and ran away in one direction.
Soon disappeared into the night.
The next day.
Everybody moved on.
As long as you climb over the mountain in front, you can find the ruins of the ancient empire nearby. Under such circumstances, Yoshihiko became more and more anxious.
Niroko…failed to find the Uchiha clan?
Just when Yoshihiko was getting desperate.
“Stop!”
The captain of the Anbu suddenly shouted in a deep voice and ordered everyone to stop. Then he frowned and looked towards the woods ahead.
Could it be that… the reinforcements have arrived?
Hope rose in Yoshihiko’s eyes, and he looked towards the woods happily, but was surprised to find that someone was indeed coming, but it was not the Uchiha clan.
A sound of heavy footsteps, mixed with the crisp sound of metal pieces colliding, came from the woods.
Under the surprised and suspicious eyes of Konoha Anbu, Yoshiko and others.
They saw a tall enemy, covered from head to toe in metal armor, holding an iron sword and a giant hammer, blocking their way.
The costumes of these people are completely different from ninjas. They look like knights in Western legends.
“Kill!”
The other party didn’t talk nonsense. As soon as he appeared, he rushed over fiercely, wielding a giant sword and a sledgehammer, and smashed into the Anbu.
The fighting style of knights is also very different from that of ninjas.
They have no chakra in their bodies, and they cannot use ninjutsu. They rely entirely on their strong and burly bodies, as well as their heavy metal armor and weapons, to carry out physical attacks.
Although it is simple and crude, it is full of destructive power.
As soon as they met, several Anbu were injured, and some were even smashed into pulp with a hammer.
“Damn it.”
The Anbu captain cursed, jumped back, distanced himself from the enemy, and quickly formed a seal.
Zizzizi.
As he slapped the ground with his palm, a large amount of thunder and lightning spread along the ground, covering the metal knights.
Thunder Escape·Earth Walk.
Those knights wore armor made of steel. There were no flaws in their bodies. They were invulnerable, but their weaknesses were also obvious——
Armor conducts electricity easily.
Sure enough.
As soon as the Anbu captain took action, the Thunder Release Ninjutsu was effective, causing a large number of enemies to freeze in place and twitch under the electric shock.
Upon seeing this, the other Anbu also launched a counterattack, taking advantage of the enemy’s immobility to throw away all kinds of ninjutsu, detonating talismans and so on.
Bang, bang.
The enemies fell one by one, and soon they were outnumbered by the Konoha ANBU, and the entire army was wiped out.
After dealing with these attackers.
The captain of the Anbu turned his head and locked Yoshihiko with his sharp eyes.
He took one step and reached Yoshihiko, grabbed the latter’s collar, and asked sternly: “Where did these people come from? Is it your fault?”
“I, I don’t know.”
Yoshihiko stammered, looking horrified.
“Snort.”
The Anbu captain snorted, threw Yoshihiko to the ground, and then walked towards the prisoner.
After lifting off a knight’s helmet and brutally interrogating him using Anbu methods, the result was unexpected.
These people are really not the reinforcements brought in by Yoshihiko, but they are inextricably linked to the wandering people.
Turn out to be.
After the ancient empire was destroyed, there were actually two groups of people who survived.
One of them, the caravan that Yoshihiko and others were in, wandered around the ninja world and became wandering people.
Another group of people chose to go overseas, eventually settling down on another continent and re-establishing a new country and civilization.
But.
Those people have never forgotten the Lightning Stone, and they also covet the rich ninja continent. They have been accumulating strength and plan to return to the ninja world one day in the future.
Finally.
When they learned that the Fourth Ninja War had broken out, these knights thought their chance had come.
So, they came across the sea in strong ships and cannons.
Returning to the ninja continent, the first thing this group of people did was to go straight to the ruins of the ancient empire to look for the Lightning Stone.
However.
Many days have passed, and still nothing has been found, because the ruins have been sealed, and only the caravan members know the entrance.
At this time, the Anbu escorted Yoshihiko to this place.
An encounter broke out like this.
“How many more of you are there?”
The Anbu captain frowned and interrogated the prisoner.
The words just fell.
Rumble.
A loud noise like shaking the ground suddenly came from the front, like a magnitude 10 earthquake, making everyone shake and stagger.
What’s the situation?
The captain of the Anbu looked at him in surprise, his eyes widening involuntarily.
Only see.
A huge steel fortress with a height of more than fifty meters, like a ferocious prehistoric beast, emerged from the ground.
This fortress that can move underground is the enemy’s base camp.
In addition to the soil and trees attached to its surface, there are countless gun barrels and muzzles, which glow with a cold metallic luster in the sun.
The next second.
All the guns and guns turned in unison, aiming at the Anbu people in the forest clearing.
Not good.
The captain of the dark section shrank his pupils and shouted angrily: “Defense!”
Swish, swish, swish.
All the Anbu immediately formed seals together, slapped their palms to the ground, and worked together to create a tall earth wall, rising from the ground to block everyone.
Earth escape·Earth flow wall.
At the same time.
The steel fortress opened fire. Fierce tongues of flames burst out from the barrels with bursts of roars. Shells roared through the air, forming a hail of bullets, all of which poured onto the earth flow wall.
Ninjutsu VS Guns, who is better?
The answer is actually obvious.
The enemy’s firepower was so fierce that it was almost a saturation blow. Within a moment, the earthen wall was riddled with holes.
“Ah ah ah.”
Several screams rang out in succession, and several Anbu were beaten into pieces and died on the spot.
“Counterattack!”
The Anbu captain became anxious and used the Thunder Release Ninjutsu again, summoning a lifelike thunder dragon and rushing towards the steel fortress.
The rest of the Anbu also took action, using ninjutsu to conduct long-range bombings on the steel fortress.
But.
The strength of this fortress far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Those ninjutsu fell on its surface, leaving only shallow traces.
“The ninjutsu of ninjas is nothing more than that. In front of this steel fortress that represents the crystallization of the empire’s technology, your attack is destined to be futile.”
As a voice sounded, a steel knight over two meters tall, with dozens of followers, jumped down from the fortress.
Then like a torrent of steel, it rushed towards the Anbu people.
A war broke out between the two sides again.
During this process.
“Argh!”
The Iron Knight suddenly looked up to the sky and howled like a wolf.
In the horrified eyes of everyone in the Anbu, they saw that his body expanded rapidly, bursting through the solid armor, and transformed into a huge werewolf over five meters tall.
Whoosh.
The werewolf rushed in front of the Anbu captain at lightning speed. Without waiting for the latter to react, he picked it up with his claws, held his hands and feet and tore it apart hard.
A tearing sound.
The body of the Anbu captain was torn apart in an instant, blood flowed wildly, and his death was extremely tragic.
This bloody and cruel scene made the Anbu of Konoha, who had always been experienced in many battles, frightened for a moment and lost their fighting spirit.
They all ran away.
In the end, only two of the originally seventeen-member Anbu third team managed to escape, while the rest of the team members were all buried in the woods, with their bodies intact.
“Bring him here!”
The werewolf-shaped Iron Knight stretched out a claw and pointed at Yoshihiko in the distance, letting out a low growl from his throat.
The two knights immediately strode towards Yoshihiko.
Yoshihiko fell to the ground, moved his body backwards with a look of horror on his face, and watched helplessly as the other party approached.
At this time.
Whoosh.
A figure suddenly appeared from behind Yoshihiko, running towards the two knights like an arrow from a string, punching out with both fists, and only heard two muffled “bang bang” sounds.
The armors of the two knights dented in response, and then they knelt on the ground on the spot, unable to get up again.
The person who took action was Uchiha Tetsubi.
“Are there any enemies?”
The werewolf knight said something in an angry voice, his ferocious gaze locked on Tetsubi, but he did not take action immediately.
Because the enemy was not just Tetsubi, but hundreds of figures in blue robes, slowly coming out from the depths of the woods, exuding a frightening momentum.
The Uchiha clan is here.
Niroko screamed happily, jumped from Uchiha Izumi’s arms to the ground, and jumped back to Yoshihiko.
“Niroko, good job, I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”
Yoshihiko couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and then he quickly stood up and kept bowing to Tetsubi and everyone in Uchiha to thank him
The werewolf knight took a few steps forward, looked down at the Uchiha people arrogantly, his eyes flashed, and he said:
“You are the Uchiha clan that was surrounded and suppressed by the entire ninja world, right?
Join my army and I will spare your life.
But as a condition of survival, you must serve the empire, help the knights conquer the ninja world, and eliminate all countries and ninja villages in one fell swoop, establishing a unified and glorious empire!
This is your honor. “
Hearing these arrogant words.
Everyone in Uchiha looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.
“Ha ha!”
Someone in the crowd made a sound and couldn’t help laughing.
Immediately afterwards.
“Haha, hahahaha…”
The Uchiha clan burst into laughter. Some people put their hands on their foreheads, some covered their stomachs, and some laughed to the point of tears.
Although the gestures of laughter are different, the meaning is the same.
The werewolf knight’s speech was mercilessly laughed at by the Uchiha clan. Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.
Being insulted.
When the werewolf knight came back to his senses, he clenched his fists with anger, his muscles swelled, and his veins bulged like big dragons.
With a fierce look in his eyes, he wanted to trample the arrogant guys under his feet one by one and tear them into pieces.
When the time comes, let’s see if they can still laugh.
At this time.
A man with a height of two meters and a majestic build walked out of the Uchiha clan with a calm expression and walked step by step in front of the werewolf knight.
The distance between the two sides is less than two meters, and they can touch each other with one move.
As the man entered the battle, the laughter of everyone in the Uchiha stopped one after another, and everyone looked at the man’s back with burning eyes.
“Who are you? Do you want to challenge me alone?”
The werewolf knight saw the other party’s intention, snorted two white breaths from his nose, and asked disdainfully.
The man did not answer, but silently raised a fist and punched out.
There was a snap.
This seemingly ordinary punch was imprinted on the werewolf knight’s abdomen.
“Have you not eaten, little one? How about I give you two more punches…”
The werewolf knight sneered, but his voice stopped suddenly.
The next second.
Bang!
The five-meter-tall werewolf knight was like a water balloon whose internal pressure reached its limit and exploded instantly.
The blood mist, broken flesh, and bones that filled the sky froze in the air for a second, and then scattered to the ground.
The werewolf knight who was so arrogant just now was killed instantly. Not to mention his whole body, not even a piece of intact flesh and blood was left.
Until the moment before his death, he still didn’t know the name of the man in front of him. He was actually——
Uchiha Dan.
The leader’s sudden death stunned the other knights.
When they came to their senses, the faces hidden in the helmets were all filled with fear.
“Go back to the fortress quickly!”
Someone shouted, and the knights quickly retreated. At the same time, the guns of the Iron Fortress fired again, covering them with a hail of bullets.
clang clang clang.
Dan stood there, letting bullets and artillery fire fall on him, motionless and unscathed.
Behind him, four Susanoos rushed out of the crowd, withstanding the enemy’s powerful firepower, and rushed towards the steel fortress.
“Kill all the enemies, leave this fortress behind, and don’t destroy it!”
Fugaku shouted a reminder to all the clan members.
The Uchiha clan has taken a fancy to this steel fortress.
