Chapter 71: Chapter 71, Purple Lightning Retreats.
"Muramasa-sama!"
Just as they were about to enter the ambush circle set up by Uchiha, Kaito suddenly called out to Muramasa.
"Hmm?"
Muramasa's figure instantly stopped in place, looking at Kaito beside him.
"This place is extremely dangerous."
Kaito said to Muramasa with a serious expression. Kaito was a sensory ninja, and in his perception, there were no less than ten Jonin ahead.
Kaito nodded upon hearing this. Since Kaito said it was extremely dangerous, it must be a conclusion drawn after fully analyzing each other's strength.
A small squad couldn't pose a threat to him and his people.
How many people are there in a small squad?
That means, Konohagakure's support must have arrived.
They're really fast...
Muramasa sighed helplessly in his heart. But now, it was impossible to leave.
If he left now, he would definitely be hit hard from behind.
Looking at the forest in front of him, although there was no one in sight.
But in the dark, who knows how many pairs of eyes were staring at him.
Was the one who came out this time the Jonin of Konohagakure?
Muramasa stood on the branch of a tree, pondered for a moment, and said aloud.
"Don't hide, I've already found you."
After speaking, the forest was quiet. Muramasa pursed his lips helplessly and continued to speak.
"We have a sensory ninja"
"Sigh..."
Uchiha Motohide's figure suddenly appeared in front of Muramasa. He gently raised his head, looked at Muramasa standing on the branch, and sighed helplessly.
Sensory ninjas... are really annoying...
It makes the ambush he set up look very stupid. It was also because the time was too rushed, otherwise, even if there were sensory ninjas, it wouldn't matter.
"Uchiha Motohide?"
Muramasa's eyes were heavy. During the war period, Muramasa and Uchiha Motohide had fought each other. To be honest, he was not good enough.
"We don't want to be enemies with your organization. If you are willing, we can escort you out of the Land of Fire."
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's figure also appeared next to Uchiha Motohide.
To be honest, with dozens of Uchiha backing him up, Sarutobi Hiruzen was now very confident.
"Send us out of the Land of Fire? So four Jonin and two Chunin from our Purple Lightning organization just died in vain?"
Muramasa's eyes were filled with coldness upon hearing this.
To be honest, Muramasa didn't want to start a war with Konohagakure just like that, especially since the one standing in front of him now was Uchiha.
But with such a big battle, they couldn't just go back like this, could they?
At least, he had to take that batch of goods.
Yes, by this point, Muramasa really didn't want to fight anymore.
With Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Motohide here, his side didn't have much chance of winning.
If the losses here were too severe, his organization would have to go into hiding again, and those two adults couldn't wait for another five years.
Moreover, there were only so many wandering ninjas in the ninja world. Jonin level ones were even rarer. If they waited another five years, they might not be able to have the current scale.
"Speaking of which, does Uchiha listen to the Hokage now? If your ancestor Uchiha Madara knew about this, I really don't know what he would think."
After a pause, Muramasa said to Uchiha Motohide.
"I don't care what others think, but my son is here. Even if the Hokage doesn't say anything, Uchiha will definitely come."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Motohide casually glanced at Muramasa. After speaking, regardless of what Muramasa wanted to say, his right hand rested on the hilt of his sword, slowly gripping it, and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Have you finished speaking?"
"I have one more thing to say."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to Uchiha Motohide and then turned to Muramasa.
"Firstly, it was your people who attacked us. Secondly, we didn't kill one of the Chunin, I think his name is Matsushita Akira. He's with the convoy. If you leave the Land of Fire now, you can take him with you. If you choose to fight, none of you here will be able to leave."
Sarutobi Hiruzen started off with a soft tone, but his words gradually became more assertive.
"Why are you telling him all this? It's such a hassle."
Motohide disdainfully spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen, then looked up at Muramasa. His eyes changed instantly, revealing a pair of crimson Mangekyou in front of Muramasa.
A Sharingan that surpasses Three Tomoe?
Muramasa was startled and pursed his lips. He didn't know what abilities this form of Sharingan had, and he didn't really want to find out.
"Do your Hokage-sama, really want to fight us to the death here?"
Muramasa slightly lifted his chin. Even though he was considering retreating, his words were still full of confidence.
If a fight really broke out today, regardless of the casualties of the Uchiha clan, none of the people he brought would be able to return.
Muramasa definitely couldn't accept this outcome.
Not only Muramasa could not accept it, but the organization also couldn't accept it.
Next, it would be the most critical time for the organization to fight with Kumogakure.
Before that, there must not be too much loss.
Moreover, Muramasa understood that if possible, Konohagakure wouldn't want to fight him to the death here.
After all, even if the Uchiha were here, to capture all of his people, they would need to pay a considerable price.
Doing this now is meaningless, they wouldn't gain any benefits. But if they let his people go and then Kumogakure issued a mission, the meaning would be different.
Not only would the price Konohagakure needed to pay become much smaller, but they could also receive a hefty reward.
The only problem now was whether the Uchiha were willing to let go.
"Are you so confident in yourself?"
Uchiha Motohide sneered disdainfully upon hearing this. Just as he was about to make a move, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately grabbed Uchiha Motohide's arm.
"Captain, there's no need to fight, let them go."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a smile on his face and repeatedly told Uchiha Motohide.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Muramasa. Seeing this, Muramasa waved his hand. Kaito vigilantly watched Uchiha Motohide and Sarutobi Hiruzen, leading his people to retreat little by little.
Seeing this, Uchiha Motohide waved his hand, and a large number of Uchiha emerged, following Muramasa unhurriedly.
Until they completely sent Muramasa out of the Konohagakure border.
"Phew~"
It wasn't until then that Sarutobi Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was definitely the best outcome at the moment. Letting these people go back would become a pressure on Kumogakure.
"Purple Lightning? Hmph!"
Uchiha Motohide glanced in the direction where Muramasa left, sneered disdainfully, and turned to walk towards Konohagakure.
Is that all?
"Compared to Uchiha, it's naturally nothing."
Sarutobi Hiruzen followed beside Motohide, laughing lightly.
