Arrival

In a forest, a dozen figures quickly appeared.

After an afternoon of running, Shigeru and his group of eighteen people, plus a dog, finally arrived not far from the Yuhi clan's territory.

Of course, the reason they were so slow was because the ninjas the Yuhi clan sent for help were relatively weak and too slow.

After all, the Yuhi clan is just a small clan and is now in deep crisis, so every ninja is valuable.

So the ninjas who went to the Hagoromo clan's territory for help were a special jounin and two genin.

This even led to the fact that Aibo was faster than the three ninjas of the Yuhi clan, which was really embarrassing.

"Hagoromo-sama, the Yuhi clan's territory is ahead of us." The special jounin leader of the Yuhi clan approached Shigeru to report.

Although there was an elite jounin of the Hagoromo clan at his side, after observing along the way, he already understood who the leader of this group was.

Seeing this, Shigeru Hagoromo nodded, pressed two fingers into the ground, and closed his eyes.

"There are two enemies, a jounin and a chuunin, they should be sensor ninjas." Shigeru opened his eyes and looked at Tohō.

Tohō nodded, took out two kunai and disappeared the next second.

…

In the territory of the Yuhi Clan.

Six ninjas were in a room, kneeling and discussing matters.

"Boss, if this continues, we'll only be able to last one day at most."

"Yes, if the Hagoromo clan does not support us, no later than the day after tomorrow, we will…"

The ninja did not continue, but what he wanted to say, everyone could understand without guessing.

At this moment, another ninja spoke up, "But more than a year ago, when the Hagoromo clan and the Senju clan fought, the Hagoromo asked us for supplies, but we didn't sell them. Are you really willing to support us?"

As soon as these words fell, there was silence in the room again.

Yes, when the Hagoromo clan was in trouble, they decided to stand by and watch. Now that they are in trouble, they really don't know if the Hagoromo clan will come to help them.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Yuhi clan at the top spoke, "Don't worry, I have promised to make the clan a vassal of the Hagoromo clan in the future, so they will definitely come to support."

A ninja spoke with concern, "But, Patriarch, about the person in the Tsuruta Clan..."

"Silence!"

Before the ninja could finish speaking, the head of the Yuhi clan directly interrupted him "Don't report anything to the Hagoromo clan about that person. They will definitely come!"

"That?!"

Suddenly an exclamation was heard in the room.

After reacting, one of them hurriedly said, "Patriarch, if you don't tell this matter to the Hagoromo Clan, then when they come…"

At this moment, the patriarch of the Yuhi clan said a little tiredly, "… If we tell the Hagoromo clan about this kind of thing and they don't come to support us, then our Yuhi clan will be completely ruined."

"But, we became the Hagoromo clan. As a vassal, wouldn't I have the same ending?" A voice sounded from below.

The Yuhi clan patriarch shook his head, "It's different, by becoming vassals of the Hagoromo clan at least we are still alive and there is hope for everyone, I will never let the clan die in my hands." Hearing this made everyone fall silent.

This is the tragedy of small clans. If they are a large clan, even if they are not a top-tier clan like the Senju and Uchiha clans, as long as they are a top-class ninja clan, they will not face the situation of annihilation.

Don't you see? The Hagoromo clan managed to survive despite being besieged by the Senju, Sarutobi and Shimura clans.

Although the Hagoromo clan suffered great losses, they were always able to recover as long as there was time.

As for a small clan like them, if the ninja world generates even a little bit of unrest, they might be wiped out by the turmoil.

In the ninja world, being weak is the original sin!

…

In the forest, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and then Tohō landed in front of Shigeru.

"Young Patriarch, it is resolved."

Tohō's expression was relaxed, as if he had done something trivial.

Indeed, that's right. After all, Tohō's strength is that of an elite jounin, and he also possesses the Kekkei Genaki: Jiton.

With such strength, it would be easy to take on a Jonin.

Shigeru nodded after hearing this.

According to his perception, there are several ninjas patrolling at regular intervals outside the Yuhi clan's territory. It is estimated that these people are the Tsuruta ninjas who attacked the Yuhi clan.

The Yuhi clan's territory is in the forest. If they attack at night, the Yuhi clan will easily ambush them, which is very dangerous.

Therefore, most of the time, the Tsuruta clan would attack the Yuhi clan during the day and leave people on guard at night to prevent the Yuhi clan from escaping.

The three Yuhi ninjas who went to the Hagoromo clan for help only escaped from the other direction due to the strong attacks of the Yuhi clan in the east and west.

Otherwise, with the Tsuruta clan's stance, it would be impossible for those weak ninjas to escape and ask the Hagoromo clan for help.

"Next, you will lead the way."

Shigeru's eyes fell on the special jounin of the Yuhi clan.

These ninjas on the outskirts belonged to the Tsuruta clan, so they were killed directly, but up ahead, there was the area where the Yuhi clan had set up traps.

It would be bad if they rushed straight in and accidentally fell into the trap of "one of their own."

The special jounin of the Yuhi clan heard Shigeru speaking to him, so he hurried forward "Yes! Young patriarch of the Hagoromo clan!"

After saying that, he immediately led the two genin of the Yuhi clan forward, while Shigeru followed him closely.

Aibo sticks his tongue out next to Shigeru, jumping around, like he has ADHD, and is fidgeting.

However, although Aibo is full of energy, he seems to know that he can't cause trouble now, so he hasn't barked since he arrived.

As everyone gradually approached the Yuhi clan, Shigeru could clearly feel the number of ninjas around him increasing dramatically.

After passing through layers of defenses, Shigeru and the others finally arrived not far from the Yuhi clan gate.
