Chapter 121 The Cloud Hidden Envoys Arrive
a few days later.
Konoha Village, Commercial Street.
The delegation from Kumogakure was not as law-abiding as one might imagine.
This group of muscular, dark-skinned Cloud Ninja swaggered down the middle of the street as soon as they entered Konoha, their eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"Is this Konoha?"
A Cloud Village Chunin kicked away a "GG" sign on the roadside and spat disdainfully.
"The houses are quite beautifully built, but these people... tsk tsk, why do they all look so weak and limp?"
He pointed at Oyama, the assistant supervisor directing the vendors ahead, and sneered, "Hey! You big guy! You don't even have chakra, and you dare to wear that uniform?"
Oyama stopped what he was doing, turned around, and when he saw that they were ninjas from other villages, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he still maintained his professional composure.
"Sir, I am a security assistant from the Konoha Police Department. Please abide by Konoha's rules, do not litter, and do not damage public facilities."
"Huh? Rules?"
The Cloud Village Chunin seemed to have heard a joke, and he approached step by step, his lightning-style chakra beginning to stir.
"In Kumogakure, might makes right! How dare a piece of trash who isn't even a ninja point fingers at me?"
He suddenly reached out to grab Da Shan's collar, intending to teach this arrogant commoner a lesson and, incidentally, give Konoha a warning.
However, his hand had not yet touched the mountain.
"Bang!"
A large, fleshy hand suddenly appeared and caught his wrist firmly.
"In Konoha, assaulting someone can land you in jail."
While stuffing potato chips into his mouth, Akimichi Tou lazily stood in front of Daiyama.
Although he looked chubby, the pressure of chakra emanating from him instantly immobilized the Cloud Village Chunin.
"The Akimichi clan?"
The Cloud Village Chunin's expression changed. He tried to break free, but found that the fat hand was as immovable as an iron clamp.
"Gentle Fist Technique - Bagua Empty Palm!"
An invisible palm strike came from the side, accurately hitting another Cloud Village ninja who was trying to launch a sneak attack in the chest, knocking him back several steps.
Hyuga Tokuma activated his Byakugan, standing on the rooftop and looking down at the uninvited guests.
"Gentlemen, this is Konoha, not your Kumogakure. If you want to fight, the police department is ready to oblige, but if you just want to bully ordinary people..."
He paused, then snorted coldly, "Then you've come to the wrong place."
The villagers around were initially a little scared, but seeing the police officers they were familiar with protecting them so forcefully, they suddenly felt emboldened and began pointing and whispering among themselves.
"Exactly! How can the people of Kumogakure be so rude!"
"Good job, police! Don't be afraid of them!"
The feeling of being watched and criticized enraged the proud Cloud Village ninja.
"You bastards! You're asking for it!"
The leader of the Cloud Village Jonin was furious, his body crackling with lightning as he drew his sword.
"That's enough!"
A thunderous roar exploded forth.
Ai, who had been observing from the back of the line, finally stepped forward.
He pushed aside his subordinates who were blocking his way, and walked like a small, moving mountain to stand in front of Akimichi Higashi, looking down at the fat man from his superior position.
"A powerful family in Konoha? Hmph, that's interesting."
A grinned menacingly, and the violent lightning chakra emanating from his body seemed to materialize, making the surrounding air feel heavy.
"But you two think you can block my way?"
"And what about me?"
A chilling voice seemed to come from the depths of hell.
Ai's pupils suddenly contracted.
He sensed an extremely cold chakra rapidly approaching from the other end of the street.
The feeling was like being targeted by some kind of apex predator.
Ai suddenly turned his head.
At the end of the street, a young boy was seen rushing towards them.
He was wearing a black police uniform, and his hands were not forming any mudras; they were simply hanging down naturally.
But his eyes...
What eyes they were!
Against a scarlet background, the three black tomoe did not separate like ordinary Uchiha, but were strangely connected together, forming a pattern like a black shuriken, which was slowly rotating.
Kaleidoscope Sharingan!
"Is this... the eye that old bastard Hanzo mentioned?"
Ai narrowed his eyes, his initial contempt vanishing instantly, replaced by an excitement and vigilance befitting a formidable foe.
"Uchiha Fugaku?" Ai asked in a deep voice.
"Exactly."
Fugaku stopped and confronted Ai, who was standing a dozen meters away.
Although he wasn't as muscular as Ai, the power emanating from his eyes actually withstood Ai's lightning-based pressure, holding his own against him.
"A, is it? Konoha welcomes friends, but it's also prepared... methods to deal with unpleasant guests."
Fugaku's voice was calm, but every word seemed to be chilled by ice.
"If your men dare to lay a hand on our police department or the villagers again, I won't hesitate to show you what the power of Asura is."
"Hahaha, Shura?"
Instead of getting angry, Ai laughed. His lightning armor activated instantly, enveloping him in blue lightning and causing his hair to stand on end.
"Such arrogance! I'd like to see if your eyes are as divine as Hanzo claims."
"boom!"
The ground cracked.
Ai's figure vanished instantly, transforming into a blue lightning bolt that hurtled straight towards Fugaku.
"Captain!" Akimichi Touichi and Hinata Tokuma were shocked and wanted to provide support, but they couldn't keep up with the speed at all.
However, Fugaku did not move.
He merely turned his kaleidoscope slightly, his gaze locking onto the rapidly approaching bolt of lightning.
"Amaterasu!"
Although he didn't shout out, Fugaku's right eye suddenly focused.
A jet-black flame suddenly ignited on Ai's inevitable path.
"Um?!"
Ai's animal instincts made him instantly aware of the deadly danger.
He abruptly changed direction while moving at high speed, avoiding the ball of black fire.
"Sizzle—"
The black fire fell to the ground, instantly burning the hard stone slab to nothingness, and continued to spread, even rain could not extinguish it.
Ai stopped and looked at the strange flame, his expression turning serious.
"This is the fire that can't be extinguished? Interesting."
He raised his head, looked at Fugaku, and his fighting spirit intensified.
"It seems that Konoha isn't all cowards."
Fugaku looked at Ai coldly.
"This is a commercial street. If you want to fight, we can go to the training ground, but before that..."
Fugaku pointed to the terrified villagers.
"Keep your people in check, or next time this fire will burn them."
Ai glanced around, snorted coldly, and put away his Lightning Release Armor.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his hand, he led the Cloud Village troops away in a long stride.
Watching the departing figures of the Cloud Village members, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, and the kaleidoscope in his eyes slowly faded, returning to black.
"Captain, are you alright?" Akimichi Tou rushed over.
"fine."
Fugaku waved his hand, but his palms were sweaty.
That Ai is indeed a monster.
If he hadn't anticipated that speed, he probably would have been hit. He was even prepared to activate Susanoo to defend himself.
There are only two ways to deal with him: either be faster than him or limit his speed.
"Sigh, how did this conflict happen?" The clerk from the Hokage Building arrived late. He was ordered to guide the people from Kumogakure. Even if Kumogakure was rude, Konoha, as the host, had to put on a show.
The clerk quickly followed Yunyin's men.
