Ling said: "I will organize a retreat immediately."

Huiye Lian also said: "I will tell the Huiye people to follow your orders, and I will kill people alone."

Hozuki Sakutsuki said solemnly: "Okay, I guarantee on my honor that the ninjas of the Kaguya family will walk ahead of the ninjas of the Hozuki family."

After the discussion, the three giants immediately took action.

The Kirigakure ninja's unique Kirigakure technique erupted again, quickly covering the entire battlefield. The screams of the Kirigakure ninja on the battlefield became quieter, and the flames, smoke and corpses that filled the field of vision could no longer be seen.

The most important thing is that the Kirigakure Ninja is in the most familiar environment, and his confused sanity is gradually recovering after being defeated.

At the same time, a sharp metal knocking sound resounded through the sky, and even in the thick, sound-absorbing fog, it could be heard clearly.

This is the signal to retreat.

"We can finally retreat. We don't have to die."

"God bless me, I survived, wuwuwu..."

"Damn it! The damned higher-ups have finally realized the situation. I don't have to die anymore."

"Really, we should have retreated long ago."

"Assholes, they finally admitted their mistakes."

"I just didn't want to die. Not only did they not help me, they also stabbed me. I will remember this grudge."

"Maybe we can run into a lone ghost lantern on the way back..."

The Kirigakure ninjas were either grateful, indignant, or even resentful, but every ninja who had experienced the test of the Blood Mist Village was a guy with a strong desire to survive. They retreated eastward swiftly according to orders, without any urge to stop.

The retreat of the Kirigakure ninjas made a lot of noise, and although they were covered by the thick Kirigakure technique, Uchiha Yuu and the Tiger troops still discovered it. After all, they were among these Kirigakure ninjas, on the route that many unlucky Kirigakure ninjas were taking to retreat eastwards.

As the Kirigakure ninjas who ran into the Tiger Unit were killed or captured, and information was extracted through illusion, Uchiha Yu even accurately grasped the precise information about the Kirigakure ninjas' retreat.

But he dared not do anything.

Because he couldn't figure out why the Kirigakure ninja would retreat, he couldn't be sure where the enemy's Kage-level ninja was. Once he led the Tiger Unit to move, the possibility of encountering a Kage-level Kirigakure ninja would greatly increase.

He was confident that he could escape from the Kage-level ninja, and by joining forces with Miwa Masayo, he could even try to defeat the Kage-level ninja, but what about the Tiger Force?

In order to protect the seeds he planted to the maximum extent and to have a leisurely life of cultivating immortals in the future, Uchiha You could only wait motionlessly.

As the commander of a key point on the battlefield, he lacked understanding of the overall situation and was unable to comprehend what the 4,000 casualties he and the Tiger Unit had suffered today meant in the overall context of the Kingdom of Hot Springs.

At this time, Uchiha You was shocked that the Kirigakure ninjas did not collapse despite nearly half of their casualties, and were even able to organize an orderly retreat. In Uchiha You's opinion, this was a miracle.

It stands to reason that an army that can create such a miracle must have extremely high discipline, morale, and fighting will, but there was no such feeling at all during the battle.

There is no doubt that Uchiha You has once again encountered a conflict in world view, and he is painfully accepting the transformation of reality.

However, his inherent perception made him unconsciously overestimate the resilience of the Kirigakure Ninja Army, so he had no idea of ​​pursuing the Kirigakure. After the enemy completely disappeared from his sight, he would lead the Tiger Unit back to Kubota Village.

Anyway, my mission is to defend Kubota Village.

At this moment, Uchiha You's heart was beating wildly, his hairs all stood up, cold sweat gushed out, dripping from the tip of his nose and chin, and there were also beads of sweat on his back, flowing down along the groove of his spine.

【Heartblood**】

Uchiha You immediately realized that an enemy was targeting him, that the enemy was determined to kill him, and that the enemy possessed sufficient strength to arouse his own magical powers.

It can only be a powerful ninja at the level of Kage.

He couldn't help but complain: "Really, I'm not even prepared."

Miwa Masayo heard it and immediately asked, "What's wrong, meow?"

"Another powerful enemy is targeting you, meow?"

"Yeah, I don't know who it is. This is the first time I've fought without any preparation."

"We're retreating, meow?"

Uchiha You shook his head and used his eyes to tell Miwa Masayo that he did not want to give up the Tiger Unit behind him.

The tabby cat nodded, indicating that she understood, but then she shook her head and said, "But I don't believe you, meow. Fighting without any preparation is not something You would do, meow."

"Haha..." (guilty)

"Hmph, there really is something. What are you planning to take out this time meow? Is it a secret that I don't even know about meow?"

"How is that possible? It must be a power that Lihua-chan knows, but I don't know who the enemy is yet, so it's hard to decide which one to use."

"Alas, the type of power is related to my core personality and my external presentation mode for a long time in the future. I hate this kind of unexpected change the most."

Uchiha You was indeed distressed, but he had already guessed who the enemy was.

The Kirigakure ninja retreated, and the enemy who attacked them at this time was definitely not for survival, nor for the future of Kirigakure. After this battle, Uchiha Yu finally understood that the Kirigakure ninja was extremely selfish. If it weren't for the strong pressure from Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village, the Kirigakure would definitely have a civil war first.

The overall interests of the Hidden Mist Village do not exist at all among the group of Hidden Mist ninjas in front of them.

There are also Kirigakure ninjas who have the concept of the overall interests of the Kirigakure, such as Zabuza, the demon who killed all his classmates, Mei Terumi, who was trained with all her strength by the master, and Yagura Karotachi, a disciple carefully selected by the Third Mizukage.

But most of them are still very young and have not yet become the backbone of the Hidden Mist Village. Even their way forward is firmly blocked by the three major ninja clans, and they can only struggle hard at the bottom.

Therefore, the only way for someone to come and kill Uchiha You at this time is to do so out of personal grudge, because he had killed his relatives and friends, and he came to seek revenge.

Considering that among the Kirigakure ninjas he had killed, only Kaguya Kaiye had a background in a great ninja clan, Uchiha Yu concluded that this enemy must be from the Kaguya clan.

There are two best ways to deal with a Hyuga clan ninja who controls the Corpse Bone Vein: either be tougher than him, or make him unable to touch you.

Uchiha You hesitated between Lightning Release and Flying Thunder God, unable to decide which one to display as his true power.

Suddenly, he realized something was wrong.

[I am floating. I am definitely floating. 】

[Faced with an unknown opponent that I might not be able to defeat, why am I actually thinking about my identity? Why am I thinking about saving the Tiger Force? ]

【What are you thinking about? Me! 】

[Of course I will use all my strength to fight him. If I can beat him, I will kill him. If I can't beat him, I will run away! ]

Uchiha You's mind raced as he figured out all the problems quickly. He suddenly felt his mind was clear, without the lingering haze from before.

He smiled and said, "I have only fought a few battles with my brothers, but my soul has been covered with such a heavy dust without my realizing it. I actually bound my hands and feet with invisible shackles to fight against wild beasts."

"This immortal road is indeed difficult to walk."

Miwa Masayo was confused and asked, "You, what are you talking about, meow?"

"No, I just figured out some things."

After saying this, he blew the bronze whistle, indicating that he would engage the enemy and hand over command to Uchiha Shigenobu.

When the copper whistle sounded in response, Uchiha You had already stepped forward, striding towards the direction of the sensed enemy.

His change of thought happened in an instant, and Miwa Masayo naturally felt puzzled, but her trust in her owner had reached an extremely high level now, and she did not feel nervous at all.

The tabby cat put its paw on the poop shoveler's neck, and felt his surging fighting spirit through his paw. It laughed jokingly, "Meow meow meow, you suddenly become so warlike, meow, my Taoist partner, your heart changes so quickly, meow."

Uchiha You smiled brightly and said, "The immortal path is not easy to walk. Not only do you have to explore carefully and protect yourself, but you also have to be able to move forward bravely at critical moments. The sense of proportion in the process is being tested all the time."

"The consecutive wins in the past few days have caused me to be overly cautious and cautious, but at the same time I have a contradictory mentality of being greedy and aggressive."

"Relying on his knowledge of the relationship between firepower and dense formations, he threw away the principles of mobile warfare that he had planned long ago in the face of a charge of thousands of ninjas, and actually led the Tiger Unit to confront the Mist Ninja."

Miwa Masayo tilted her head. She didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so she asked, "But you beat meow, and the result was so spectacular that it must have shocked the ninja world, meow."

Uchiha You smiled complacently, then pretended to be humble and said: "That's just my application of the knowledge of my predecessors, it's nothing, hahahaha."

After the joke, he stopped smiling and said helplessly: "Although I won the fight successfully, I took such a big risk, but the majority of the profits I got belonged to Orochimaru and Konoha Village, and what I could get as an individual was very limited. What's the difference between this and working for nothing?"

"And if you go too far, there will be a backlash. Look, now the Kirigakure ninjas have all retreated on a large scale, but someone came specifically to kill me."

Miwa Masayo also felt a strong murderous aura and a powerful momentum at this time. She stood up and started moving on Uchiha You's shoulders, spreading each of her little claws into a plum blossom shape, and popping each claw out to check carefully to see if it was sharp enough.

As she examined him, she said, "You're right, he's a very powerful ninja, meow. But how can you be sure that he was attracted by the bloodshed in this battle, meow?"

"Could it not be caused by one of the ninjas we killed last time, meow?"

Uchiha You looked at Miwa Masayo in surprise and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Miwa Masayo was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "You know meow? You actually know meow!!"

"Liar meow! You, I caught you, a liar meow!"

"Just now you said you didn't know, meow!"

"Haha..." (guilty)

"Octopus Legs Meow!"

"no problem!"

"I want two meows!"

"Well, I can't agree to that. The octopus probably hasn't grown well yet. Limp octopus legs don't taste good."

"Yes meow...then I'll just use one meow."

"Lihua-chan is so generous!"

"Hmph, don't lie to me again, otherwise, otherwise I... will be angry meow!"

"Okay, okay."

Miwa Masayo caught Uchiha Yu's handle and won this argument. Uchiha Yu agreed to all the conditions she proposed, which made the tabby cat extremely happy, and the anger of being deceived had long disappeared.

This cute little cat even forgot that it was cheated. The happy tabby cat only remembered that it won.

Uchiha Yuya was very happy because he clearly felt Miwa Masayo's magnanimity and, most importantly, his talent of forgetting bad things.

Only such a magnanimous cat immortal can be a Taoist partner who can accompany you for endless years. If you choose a petty Taoist partner, immortality will become a torture.

Miwa Masayo cares a lot about her poop shoveler. Even in such a happy situation, she did not forget her own question: "You, you still haven't explained why the enemy was provoked by the battle just now, meow?"

Uchiha You explained: "Although I don't know exactly how it developed to this point, it must be because I hit too hard. The Kirigakure ninja saw the failure in advance. I pushed them too hard, so they wanted to bite me before leaving."

Miwa Masayo still didn't understand: "If we don't fight so hard this time, will this murderous enemy not come to kill you, meow?"

Uchiha You nodded in confirmation and said, "That's right. If I don't hit him so hard, he won't come to kill me, at least not today."

"In such a large ninja army, there are only a few Kage-level ninjas at the top of the ninja world. Everyone has his own position and responsibility. You can't easily abandon your duties and come to cause trouble for me."

"Only if I destroy the things he is responsible for can he be freed from his responsibilities and come after me."

"I see, I understand, meow." Miwa Masayo suddenly realized something, and she even drew inferences from one example, "Just like you, Yuu, are now responsible for leading the Tiger Army. Even if someone slaps you and runs away, you can only watch them run away, meow?"

"..." Uchiha You's mouth twitched, "Your metaphor... No, it's correct."

"Nyan~~, I understand, meow. That murderous ninja was responsible for all his kills by you, so he was free and then came after you to kill you, meow."

"That's right."

Having said this, the two immortals suddenly fell silent because they heard the sound of wind caused by high-speed movement. That was the sound caused by a human body wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, which was the favorite attire of the Kirigakure ninja.

But generally speaking, ninjas adopt a stealthy style. Because of their fragile nature, they believe that avoiding being discovered by the enemy is the strongest defense.

Only the tough-minded Hyuga clan, relying on their powerful defense, would unscrupulously show off their existence, thus causing such a fierce voice.

In the ninja world, the only ones who would make such a loud noise while moving, besides the Kaguya clan of the Hidden Mist Village, are probably the Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village. And the ninja who is sprinting towards the Tiger Corps must be a ninja from the Kaguya clan.

Uchiha You discovered that his route and that of the ninja did not overlap, and there was a slight angle deviation between the two lines, which meant that the enemy had not discovered him, and he could just give him a head-on blow.

Sneak attack is the preferred fighting style of most ninjas, and Uchiha Yu is no exception.

Because of his cultivation, his foundation is the five natural energies, but in combat he still relies more on ninjutsu.

There is no way. After the Six Paths Sage spread chakra, ninjutsu has undergone thousands of years of evolution and accumulation. Countless geniuses have injected their talents into it. After thousands of years of screening and testing of wars, the power of the existing ninjutsu is much stronger than the ninjutsu developed by Uchiha and himself.

The so-called immortal arts are all based on chakra and outlined in ninjutsu. Natural energy is only an auxiliary to amplify the power of chakra.

Among the ninjutsu mastered by Uchiha Yu, the one with the greatest power against a single person is Chidori, which is the signature ninjutsu that Hatake Kakashi may not have developed yet.

This technique focuses on penetrating strikes and has enormous power. Although it is a bit difficult to control, Uchiha You still finds it easy to control.

The problem is that this thing is too noisy and can only be used for frontal attacks, not sneak attacks.

The ninjutsu whose attack power is second only to Chidori is Earth Style: Earth Spear. Nowadays, it is still a recognized defensive ninjutsu. Uchiha Yuu is not sure whether Mr. Kakuzu has used this technique for attack.

But today he intends to use this technique to remind Kaguya Ninja that bloodline limit is not necessarily stronger than ninjutsu. After all, it all depends on the strength of the ninja himself.

Uchiha You listened attentively to the sound of the wind stirred up by the newcomer, mobilized natural energy to drive the chakra in his body cells, separated the earth attribute chakra, and hardened his fists.

He looked at his hands that had turned pitch black. Although it was not the first time he had seen it, he couldn't help but think of the so-called armament color domineering. It must be said that the visual feeling was really similar, and the way of using it was also similar.

Uchiha You shook his head, driving out all irrelevant thoughts about the battle, then pushed his chakra to its limit, and the black area quickly spread to his entire upper body.

He closed his eyes, took a goose-step and punch stance, and listened attentively to the sound of the enemy approaching.

Suddenly, Miwa Masaya jumped high from Uchiha You's shoulder, and Uchiha You twisted his waist and turned around, swinging his pitch-black right fist fiercely into the thick fog.

What is amazing is that although the two immortals' movements were extremely violent, they both controlled the airflow around their bodies exquisitely, without making any sound or causing the thick fog to shake at all.

If someone were watching this punch at this moment, they would inevitably have the illusion that Uchiha Yu's punching speed was also very slow because of the slowness of these reference objects.

Just when Uchiha You's fist was stretched to its limit, the thick fog in front suddenly rolled up, and a face that looked to be in its forties broke through the fog and appeared right in front of the fist.

Kaguya Ren did not recognize that it was a fist, he just noticed a black shadow that appeared in his sight without any warning.

The distance he discovered was too short. Before he could react, his nose collided with the black fist.
