It didn't take long for Liuli and Kazuhime to come out of the main hall meeting room of Nanga Shrine and walk along the original stone steps to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the ninjas from the Kingdom of Demons who came to Konoha should have packed all their things. Next, they only need to collect the various collections of the Uchiha clan and transport them all back to the Kingdom of Demons.

Their main mission in coming to Konoha has been completed, and there is no need to stay in Konoha.

I believe that the people in Konoha also think so in their hearts. Let them leave here as soon as possible. There is an unwelcoming atmosphere everywhere.

However……

As the two of them were walking down the mountain along the stone steps, a kunai flew from the dense woods on one side, with a burning detonator attached to it, and exploded beside them without warning.

boom!

The loud sound spread far away...

The fire and smoke swallowed up the bodies of Liuli and Yiji at once.

Immediately, a black shadow jumped out from the woods on one side, with a strange-shaped chakra knife on each hand, with an extremely sharp aura attached to it. He rushed into the smoke without hesitation, attacking Liuli and Yiji, his eyes

An extremely cold murderous aura shot out from it.

Ding!

The chakra blade was blocked.

Ichiji jumped in front of Liuli, pulled out the sword blade from her waist, and easily blocked the attacker's attack.

The opponent wears a forehead protector unique to Konoha ninjas on his forehead to prove his identity.

He has a Chinese character face, a firm face, and a short beard on his chin. He looks young, only in his twenties.

Seeing that his sneak attack failed, the opponent immediately jumped back. Just when he was thinking about how to retreat, Yi Ji in front of him suddenly broke away from his sight and disappeared.

"What?"

A biting coldness came from behind.

Not daring to be careless, he immediately turned around and held the chakra blade that was sheathed in his hand, emitting sharp light, in front of him.

There was no doubt that the attack of the sword was blocked, but the white light of the sword that stung people's skin was right in front of his eyes, and the attacker couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his face.

If he had been a step later, his body would have been split in half and he would have died.

boom!

A terrifying force came from the sword blade, which roughly suppressed him, causing him to roll awkwardly on the stone steps.

When he stood up again, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the sword blade emitting cold light quickly enlarged in his eyes. It was about to cut off half of his head, and suddenly stopped in front of his eyes.

Yi Ji looked down at her feet, and a slender black shadow overlapped with her shadow. The strong binding force prevented her from moving easily.

"Finally we caught up, what a critical moment..."

Shikaku, who used the shadow imitation technique and successfully stopped the fight between the two sides, was secretly relieved.

If someone were to be injured or killed here, things would be much more difficult.

"Shikaku, what are you doing?"

The Konoha ninja who sneak-attacked Ruri and Kazuhime obviously knew Shikaku. He glared at him unsatisfied. Why did he come to stop this battle?

Of course I came here to prevent you from dying. Shikaku still couldn't say such hurtful words from his mouth.

He said in very official language: "These two are distinguished guests who have come all the way from the land of ghosts. Asuma, please don't be rude here."

Really, no matter how you look at it, this is an unwinnable battle.

The Konoha ninja named 'Asuma' just snorted, not agreeing with Shikaku's words.

But he was also restrained by Shikaku's shadow imitation technique, and his body could not move freely. He knew that his revenge had failed.

At this time, two ANBU also jumped out from one side, took out ropes, tied Asuma, who could no longer move, with his hands behind his back, using this method to prevent him from acting again.

Seeing this, Shikaku released his shadow imitation technique.

Shikaku came over and apologized in a solemn tone: "I'm very sorry that we have caused trouble to you two. This is our Jounin Sarutobi Asuma of Konoha. Because of some previous misunderstandings, his relatives

He died on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind, so his emotions are a bit extreme now. We will let him reflect on it."

Shikaku signaled the ANBU over there to escort Asuma down and let him continue to mess around here, feeling that something would happen.

Ichiji ignored Asma's resentful and hateful gaze before leaving. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Liuli behind her, letting her make up her mind.

"Your attitude towards restraining ninjas is too lax. I don't want this misunderstanding to happen again."

It was impossible for an attack of this level to hurt the two of them, but Liuli still looked at Shikaku with a stiff tone.

"I'm very sorry. I'll let Master Hokage teach Asuma Jounin a lesson later."

Asuma is different from ordinary Jonin. He is not only a ninja from the Sarutobi clan, but also the second son of the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Maybe he is a bit immature now and likes to be emotional, but the other party's special status means that he cannot be the same as ordinary jounin.

If an accident occurs here, it will seriously destroy the deal between Konoha and the Kingdom of Demons. In that case, it will be difficult to predict what will happen.

At this critical moment, neither Konoha nor the Kingdom of Demons want to cause trouble.

It would be best to stop and make peace.

"This is your internal matter in Konoha. How to deal with it has nothing to do with us. But I still give you a word of advice. Outside, no one will condone his reckless behavior, and no one will attack his subordinates because of his status as the son of the Hokage.

Show mercy."

Liuli's tone was cold.

Lu Jiu smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Then Ruri and Kazuki followed Shikaku back to the Hokage Building.

I saw more than a dozen carriages stopping in front of the Hokage Building. When Liuli and Kazuki arrived, the carriages were already filled with various sealed boxes.

Inside these sealed boxes are various precious collections of the Uchiha clan.

Most of them are books about family ninjutsu and Sharingan applications, and some are important information collected by the Uchiha clan in the past, which are all kinds of secrets about the ancient times. Only ancient and famous families like the Uchiha have the most important information in the family.

Only then would such secret records be left.

These ancient secrets may come in handy one day. They are also one of the important inheritances of a family and are a part that must be taken away.

"Lord Liuli, it has been moved and can be set off at any time."

The Jonin of Oni Country, who was responsible for the transportation and commanding work, saw that the last batch of sealed boxes had been moved to the carriage, and walked up to Liuli to report to her.

Liuli nodded and told him: "In that case, let's set off and reach the port before the sun goes down."

"yes."

The Jonin of Oni Country took action, driving the carriage to move, raising a little dust on the road, and gradually moved further and further away.

When Shikaku saw these Oni Country ninjas driving away the carriage with items, he walked up to him, scratched his head and said: "Well, all the things have been handed over to you. As for Jiraiya-sama, is there anything...

…”

"Don't worry, we have no intention of breaking our promise."

Seeing how honest and sincere Konoha was, Liuli didn't embarrass Shikaku too much.

She immediately formed a seal and pressed her palms to the ground.

boom!

A huge orange cat as big as a hill appeared, with a white downy belly.

"Yu Huo, you have gained a lot of weight. Have you forgotten to exercise recently?"

Looking at the orange cat, which was already much larger than a house, Yiji walked up to it and touched its white fluffy belly, feeling warm breath spread to her palms.

"Really, I'm so rude, Master Yiji, I insist on exercising every day. Look at my toned muscles, you can tell how hard I have been working out recently."

Yuhuo muttered, seemingly not satisfied with Yiji saying that he was lazy and not exercising.

"..."

Yi Ji looked at Yu Huo's round body with short and stubby limbs. Even when she was sitting there, her belly was almost touching the ground. It was hard to imagine it walking on all fours, so she was a little speechless.

This doesn't look like he's exercising hard.

"Yu Huo, let the people out."

Liuli spoke at this time and intervened in the conversation between Yiji and Yuhuo.

"Yes, Master Liuli."

As he spoke, Yu Huo opened his mouth and spat toward the ground.

There were a total of five people spit out by it, lying on the ground in a mess, unconscious, and their whole bodies were filled with fish-scented mucus.

"..."

Shikaku thought about how these people survived in the cat's belly without being dissolved.

Among these five people, in addition to Jiraiya, there is also Hyuga Takeshi, a branch ninja of the Hyuga clan. The other three are also powerful jounin, but they look thin and have no traces of anything.

Signs of physical abuse and torture.
