Chapter 48: The Alliance
In an izakaya on the border of the Fire Country, two Yugi people lie weakly on the floor.
This izakaya is not big, but now it is a room full of cloud ninja.
In the iron furnace in the center of the room, the water was bubbling hot, and the evaporating water vapor was boiling like Kirabi's anxious mood at the moment.
The two Yugi lost their tailed beasts, and although their lives were unharmed, their bodies were very weak. When Yun Ren arrived at the scene, she hurriedly explained the scene when she was attacked, and then she couldn't wake up.
With a sigh, the two Yumu people woke up from their coma, and a group of cloud ninjas immediately surrounded them.
Kirabi took the hands of the two Yugi people and asked, "Are you alright?" ”
The two Yugi people were teary-eyed, looking at the concerned ninjas of the same village, and the first thing they said was: "Okay... I'm so hungry! ”
“........!”
Unlike Kirabi and the others, the two Yugiren were able to control the tailed beast Chakra in their bodies, thus earning the trust of their fellow villagers.
Although the izakaya is small, the food is delivered quickly. The two Yugi have just woken up, but their appetites are surprisingly good.
Looking at the two Yugi who were gobbling up, Kirabi asked, "Haven't you been losing weight?" Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat so much? ”
The two Yumu men cast a contemptuous look, and there were also cleanly eaten meat and bones.
Waiting for the two Yugi to finish eating, Kirabi finally asked, "Yugi Man, what happened?" ”
The topic suddenly became heavy, and the high mood of the two Yukito who had eaten in the sea just now also dropped a lot.
"It was a strange group of ninjas who attacked me. The vast majority of them are known for their physical skills and are highly probustive. There's only one, quite terrifying. ”
The two Yugi people remembered the scene at that time, and they were still a little afraid.
"Horror?"
Kirabi really didn't expect to be able to say such words from the mouths of the two Yugi people.
"That's right!" The two Yugi nodded, "Although I am a little careless, the strength of the other party is too strong. In my state of turning on the tailed beast, the ninja only hit me and severely injured me. Then the remaining eight ninjas joined forces to suppress me, leaving me completely defenseless. ”
"Can you see where they come from?"
At this time, a rough voice came from outside. The three generations of Thunder Shadow appeared alone outside the door of the izakaya.
"Three generations!"
In this world, there may be a lot of ninjas, but the circle of ninja is very small. Generally speaking, a powerful ninja can only be born in a few fixed ninja families in each ninja village, and there are few exceptions.
The two Yugi people looked solemn and shook their heads, a little frustrated, "Although they have been entangled with me for a few days, I can't tell their origin at all. When they fought against me, they used all physical techniques, and they were very weird, not at all like the legends of the major ninja villages. ”
"Is it so clean?"
The third generation of Lei Ying Ai touched his chin and muttered.
"Lord Thunder Shadow, who will do it?"
A group of cloud ninjas looked at the three generations of Thunder Shadows, expecting to get an answer from their own Thunder Shadows.
"It's not who does it, it's who has the ability to do it. Who provided the technique of human pillar force in the first place? In today's ninja world, who can control the tailed beast so easily? ”
In the eyes of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, there was a dark light completely different from his usual violent temper. At this moment, he is no longer a shadow-level ninja with strong ninjutsu, but a third-generation thunder shadow who maintains tens of thousands of ninjas in Cloud Shadow Village.
"A thousand hands! Uchiha! ”
The first to react was Kirabi, who usually looked a little out of tune.
The three generations of Thunder Shadow looked at Kirabi with some relief and patted him on the shoulder.
"This time, I'm going to go to Konoha myself. If I can't come back, tell your brother-in-law that from now on, he will be the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow! ”
.....
The ancestral land of the Uchiha family.
The room was large, and the black stele was still embedded in the wall.
On both sides of the stele, in addition to the fan pattern of the Uchiha clan at this moment, there are also two patterns of the Nara family.
The alliance ritual between ninja families is very ancient, and Shikamaru followed Uchiha Fugaku here to accompany him to complete this ritual.
The Uchiha family is very xenophobic and old-fashioned. Conversely, its patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku, is also very cautious about these rituals.
Alliances between clans and clans, in which only patriarchs and patriarchs are eligible to participate.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Nara family is not Shikamaru, but Uchiha Fugaku doesn't care. The real strength of a family lies not in the number of its clansmen, but in the high-end combat power of the family.
In Uchiha Fugaku's view, Shikamaru is the future of the Nara family.
The two sat under each other's family crests and swore an oath of wine, announcing the formal alliance between the two families.
The number of people present was scarce, and on the Uchiha side, except for Uchiha Fugaku, the rest were his two henchmen and elders, and a few elite disciples. They exist so that this covenant can continue after an accident occurs in Uchiha Fugaku.
In contrast, there are very few people on Shikamaru's side, except for Shiro, there is not even a person from the Nara family.
"Wait!"
Just when Shikamaru and Uchiha Fugaku completed the final part of the alliance ceremony, someone in the Uchiha family stopped him.
"Stop the water, what are you doing?"
Among the Uchiha family, an older elder said.
"I just have some doubts, why did that kid ally with us Uchiha?"
To be able to become an elite child of the Uchiha family, in addition to having extraordinary strength, there is also arrogance that far surpasses that of his peers. This is not only the question of Uchiha stopping the water, but also the doubt of all the elite children present.
Faced with such a situation, instead of getting angry, Uchiha Fugaku showed a smile on his face. He raised his hand and stopped the group of people who stopped the water.
"The two families are in an alliance, and the things of the oath must be exchanged."
Shikamaru looked at Uchiha Fugaku's smiling face and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"Do you know why the oath of the ninja families on both sides is called the Blood Alliance during the Warring States Period?"
"Blood Pact?"
"That's right! The blood alliance means that the blood is connected. For the ninja family, nothing could be more reliable than this! Uchiha Fugaku clapped his hands and said, "Izumi! ”
A girl in a kimono walked in from outside the house with a sweet look. She slowly walked to the middle of the room and knelt down in front of Uchiha Fugaku, but there was a trace of sadness on her face.
"Patriarch!"
"From now on, Izumi Uchiha will be your concubine, by your side, as you assign. And you and her children and grandchildren, must have a surname Uchiha. This is the exchange of alliances. ”
“........!”
Shikamaru bowed his head, unable to accept this fierce custom that had been passed down from the Warring States period.
He wanted to yell, I'm still a kid!
