A few days later.

A team has entered the territory of the country of Haragawa River.

Under Danzo's orders, hundreds of people in the caravan were held hostage in Konoha.

Only He Yan and a few members of the caravan, escorted by the third detachment of the dark department, came to the deep mountains of the country of Kawanoku, looking for the legendary Stone of Greel.

"How long will it take?" The captain of the dark part asked He Yan a little impatiently.

"The ruins of the empire are located in the northwest of the country of Sichuan, and in one day at most, you should be able to get there." He Yan replied carefully.

When the captain of the dark part heard this, he snorted coldly:

"I warn you, it's best not to be careful."

"Yes, sir."

He Yan nodded hurriedly, but it was impossible not to think carefully.

He had long heard that the five generations of Hokage were hidden people, and they could be said to be ruthless and unscrupulous, especially treating human life like a mustard.

Not to mention outsiders, even the ninjas of Konoha were killed by Danzang himself.

With the style of the group, after successfully obtaining the Stone of Greer, he will definitely order the dark department to exterminate He Yan and the others, leaving no one behind.

Moreover, He Yan was not willing to hand over the Grell Stone like this, after all, it was a treasure that the wandering people had guarded for generations.

Thereupon.

In the evening, when the party camped in the woods.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people in the shadows were not paying attention, He Yan released the ferret Nilugu in his sleeve. It is the royal pet of the ancient empire, not only human, but also has a lot of powerful skills.

"Nilugu, our lives depend on you, we must find the Uchiha clan and ask them for support, understand?"

He Yan admonished the ferret with a serious face.

As soon as Nilugu turned, he slipped into the bushes on the side, sniffed the air with his nose, and ran away in one direction.

Soon disappeared into the night.

The next day.

The crowd moved on.

Almost there.

As long as he climbed the mountain in front of him, he could find the ruins of the ancient empire nearby, and in this case, He Yan's heart became more and more anxious.

Nilugu... Didn't find the Uchiha clan?

Just when He Yan was gradually despairing.

"Stop!"

The captain of the dark part suddenly sighed and ordered everyone to stop, then frowned and looked at the woods ahead.

Don't...... Is it the help that has arrived?

Hope rose in He Yan's eyes, and he looked towards the woods happily, but was surprised to find that someone had indeed come, but it was not the Uchiha clan who had come.

Knock, clank.

A sound of heavy footsteps, mixed with the crisp sound of metal pieces colliding, came from the woods.

In the suspicious gaze of Konoha Shadow and He Yan and others.

They saw a tall man, wrapped from head to toe in metal armor, with an iron sword and a giant hammer in his hand, blocking their way.

These people are dressed in a completely different way from ninjas, and they look like knights from Western legends.

"Kill!"

The other party didn't have any nonsense, as soon as he appeared, he rushed over violently, picked up the giant sword and sledgehammer, and smashed it into the shadows.

The way knights fight is also very different from ninjas.

They don't have chakra in their bodies, and they don't know how to use ninjutsu, so they rely on their strong and burly bodies, as well as their heavy metal armor and weapons, to carry out physical attacks.

It's simple and crude, but it's devastating.

As soon as he saw him, several people were injured in the shadows, and some were even smashed into pulp with a hammer.

"Damn."

The captain of the dark part cursed, leaped backwards, distanced himself from the enemy, and quickly sealed.

Zizizizi.

As he slapped his palm to the ground, a large amount of lightning spread along the ground, enveloping the metal knights.

Thunder and go.

Those knights were dressed in armor made of steel, and there were no flaws in their bodies, which was simply invulnerable, but the weakness was also obvious-

Armor conducts electricity easily.

Really.

As soon as the captain of the dark part made a move, the Thunder Escape Ninjutsu worked, causing a large number of enemies to freeze in place and convulsify under the electric shock.

Seeing this, the other shadows also launched a counterattack, taking advantage of the enemy's inability to move, throwing all kinds of ninjutsu, detonation charms and so on.

Bang, bang.

The enemies fell one by one, and soon they were defeated by the Konoha Shadows, and the entire army was annihilated.

After dealing with these attackers.

Swish.

The captain of the dark part turned his head, and his sharp eyes locked on He Yan.

He stepped in front of He Yan, grabbed the latter's collar, and asked sharply: "Where did these people come from, are you the ghosts?" ”

"I, I don't know."

He Yan stammered, looking frightened.

"Hmph."

The captain of the dark part snorted coldly, threw He Yan to the ground, and then walked towards the captive.

After lifting the helmet of a knight and brutally interrogating him with covert methods, the result was unexpected.

These people are really not the rescuers brought by He Yan, but they are inextricably linked with the wandering people.

Originally.

After the destruction of the ancient empire back then, there were actually two groups of people who survived.

One of them is the caravan where He Yan and others are located, wandering around the ninja world and becoming a wandering people.

Another group of people chose to go overseas, and eventually settled down on another continent and re-established a new state and civilization.

But.

Those people have never forgotten the Stone of Greer, and they also covet the rich ninja continent, and have been accumulating strength, planning to return to the ninja world one day in the future.

Finally.

When they learned that the Fourth Shinobi War had broken out, the knights thought their chance had come.

So they came across the sea in ships and cannons.

Back on the Ninja Continent, the first thing this group of people did was to go straight to the ruins of the ancient empire to find the Stone of Greel.

However.

Many days passed, and nothing was found, because the ruins were sealed, and the entrance was known only to the caravanserais.

At this time, the people of the dark department escorted He Yan to this place.

An encounter broke out.

"How many of you are left?"

The captain of the dark section frowned and interrogated the captive.

As soon as the words fell.

Thundered.

A loud sound like shaking the mountains suddenly came from the front, like a ten-magnitude earthquake, making everyone's bodies shake and stagger.

What's the situation?

The captain of the dark part looked at him with a look of surprise, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Saw.

A huge steel fortress with a height of more than fifty meters, like a fierce prehistoric beast, emerged from the ground.

This underground movement fortress is the enemy's base camp.

In addition to the mud and trees attached to its surface, it also had countless barrels and muzzles, which shone with a cold, metallic sheen in the sun.

The next second.

All the guns turned in unison, aiming at the shadows in the glade.

Not good.

The dark captain's pupils shrank, and he shouted angrily: "Defense! ”

Boom.

All the dark parts immediately sealed together, and they slapped their palms to the ground, and joined forces to create a tall earthen wall, which rose from the ground to block everyone.

Soil Escape, Earth Flow Wall.

Meanwhile.

Da-da-da-da.

The steel fortress fired, and fierce tongues of fire burst out of the barrel with a roar, and shells whistled through the air, forming a rain of bullets that poured down on the walls of the earth.

Ninjutsu VS guns, who is better?

The answer is obvious.

The enemy's fire was so fierce that it was almost a saturation blow, and in a matter of moments, the earthen wall was shattered.

"Ahhh

Several screams rang out one after another, and several shadows were beaten into a sieve and died on the spot.

"Fight back!"

The captain of the dark part was in a hurry, and once again used the Thunder Escape Ninjutsu, summoning a lifelike thunder dragon and rushing towards the steel fortress.

The rest of the shadows also took action, using ninjutsu to carry out long-range bombardment of the steel fortress.

But.

The fort was much stronger than everyone in the shadows had expected, and those ninjutsu fell on its surface, leaving only shallow traces.

"Ninja's ninjutsu, that's all. In the face of this steel fortress, which represents the crystallization of the Empire's technology, your attack is doomed to be futile. ”

As a voice sounded, an iron knight more than two meters tall, with dozens of followers, jumped from the fortress.

Then, like a torrent of steel, it rushed towards the people in the shadows.

A big war broke out again between the two sides.

In the process.

"Whew!"

The Iron Knight suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a wolf howl.

In the horrified eyes of everyone in the dark department, I saw that his body expanded rapidly, and he actually broke through the solid armor and transformed into a huge werewolf with a height of more than five meters.

Sou.

The werewolf rushed to the captain of the dark section at lightning speed, and before the latter could react, he lifted him up with his claws, grabbed his hands and feet, and tore them hard.

Tear and pull.

The body of the captain of the dark part was torn apart in an instant, the blood was soaring, and the death was extremely tragic.

This bloody and cruel scene made the dark part of Konoha who had always been experienced in a hundred battles frightened for a while and lost his fighting spirit.

They all fled.

In the end, only two of the original seventeen-member third team of the dark department escaped, and the rest of the team members were all buried in the woods, all of them dead without corpses.

"Bring him here!"

The werewolf Iron Knight stretched out a paw and pointed at He Yan in the distance, a low growl coming from his throat.

The two knights immediately strode towards He Yan.

He Yan sat down on the ground, moving his body backwards in horror, watching the other party approach.

That's when it happened.

Sou.

A figure suddenly appeared from behind He Yan, rushing towards the two knights like arrows off the string, and his fists burst out, only to hear two muffled sounds of "bang".

The armor of the two knights dented in response, and then they fell to their knees on the spot, unable to get up again.

The person who shot was Uchiha Iron Fire.

"And enemies?"

The werewolf knight said angrily, and his vicious gaze locked on the iron fire, but he didn't make the first move.

Because, the enemy is not just Tiehuo, but there are hundreds of figures in blue robes, slowly emerging from the depths of the woods, exuding a terrifying momentum.

The Uchiha clan is here.

"Squeak."

Nirugu let out a cheerful cry and jumped from Izumi Uchiha's arms to the ground, bouncing back to Kahiko.

"Well done, Nilugu, I knew you weren't going to let me down."

He Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then quickly got up and bowed and thanked Tiehuo and the Uchiha people incessantly.

Knock knock.

The werewolf knight took a few steps forward, looked down at the Uchiha people arrogantly, his eyes flashed, and he said:

"You are the Uchiha clan who have been surrounded and suppressed by the entire ninja world, right?

Join me, and I will spare you from death.

But as a condition for your survival, you must serve the Empire, help the Knights conquer the ninja world, and destroy all the countries and ninja villages in one fell swoop, and build a glorious empire with great unity!

This is your honor. ”

Hearing these arrogant words.

The Uchiha people looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

"Haha!"

In the crowd, I don't know who snorted and couldn't help laughing.

Followed by.

"Haha, haha......"

The Uchiha clan burst into laughter, some with their hands on their foreheads, some holding their stomachs, and others laughing with tears in their eyes.

Although the posture of laughter is different, the meaning is the same.

Jeer.

The werewolf knight's speech was mercilessly ridiculed by the Uchiha clan, and everyone's eyes were like they were looking at fools.

Insulted.

The werewolf knight came back to his senses, and immediately clenched his fists in anger, his muscles swelled, and his green tendons bulged like dragons.

His eyes showed a fierce light, and he wanted to trample the group of arrogant guys in front of him one by one, and then tear them to pieces.

When the time comes, see if they can still laugh.

Then.

A two-meter-tall man with a majestic body walked out of the Uchiha clan with a calm face and walked in front of the werewolf knight step by step.

The distance between the two sides is less than two meters, and they can be touched as soon as they make a shot.

As the man came out, the laughter of everyone in the Uchiha stopped, and they all stared at the man's back with burning eyes and feverish expressions.

"Who are you who want to challenge me alone?"

The werewolf knight saw the other party's intentions, snorted two white gases from his nose, and asked disdainfully.

The man did not answer, but silently raised a fist and punched it out.

Smack.

This seemingly innocuous punch was imprinted on the werewolf knight's lower abdomen.

"You haven't eaten, little one. How about I give you two more punches......"

The werewolf knight sneered, but his voice stopped abruptly.

The next second.

Boom!

The five-meter-tall werewolf knight was like a water ball with an internal pressure reaching the limit, and it exploded in an instant.

The blood mist, minced flesh, and bones in the sky froze in the air for a second, and then they all fell to the ground.

The werewolf knight, who was invincible just now, was killed in seconds like this, not to mention the whole corpse, not even a piece of complete flesh and blood remained.

Until the moment before he died, he still didn't know the name of the man in front of him, in fact, he was called-

Uchiha broken.

The sudden death of the leader stunned the rest of the knights.

When they came back to their senses, the faces hidden in their helmets were all full of fear.

"Retreat to the fortress!"

Someone shouted, and the knights hurriedly retreated. At the same time, the guns of the steel fortress were fired again, covering them with a rain of bullets.

Bell, bell, bell.

He stood still, letting the bullets and artillery fire fall on him, unmoved and unscathed.

Behind him, the four Susanoh Statues burst out of the crowd and rushed towards the steel fortress in the face of the enemy's firepower.

"Kill all the enemies, leave this fortress behind, and don't destroy it!"

Fu Yue reminded all the clansmen loudly.

The Uchiha clan has taken a fancy to this steel fortress.
