Chapter 214: Hyuga Cangyue: Bored, I Want to See Blood Flowing Like a River!
Konoha Village!
Tang Ping watches the main gate, his gaze somewhat complicated.
Once upon a time, he truly thought that if he could fail the exams or remain anonymous, he could just lie low and enjoy his life in the village.
But because of Danzo's scheming, his dream was shattered, turning him into what he is today.
Every day, he has to work himself to the bone.
His ideal was to just lie low!
But there's no choice.
As long as he doesn't want to die or become a toy for the Otsutsuki Clan, he has to keep working hard.
All this is due to Danzo!
"Let's go!"
Tang Ping leads the way into the village.
The team consists of five people.
In addition to Team 404, there are two figures wearing masks and cloaks.
They are Uchiha Yayi and Uchiha Jingxiang.
The rest of the team, led by Uchiha Sho, is waiting several kilometers away.
The village definitely knows about those people, but they tacitly pretend not to.
"Lord Tang Ping!"
The two 'Gate Gods' guarding the gate stand up from behind the registration desk.
While missions require registration, some people can naturally break the rules.
For example, the Sannin and high-level officials don't have to register when leaving the village.
Compared to the Sannin, Tang Ping's fame is still lacking, and he even falls short of the 'Yellow Flash,' but his status is not low. At the very least, the two gatekeepers call him 'Lord,' so registration is not necessary.
However, when they see the two masked figures behind him, one of them seems to want to say something but is quickly silenced by the other.
"Don't you want to live?"
"Didn't you see who brought them?"
"The village's high-level officials don't care, do you really want to step forward?"
...
The most important qualities for registration work are keen observation and emotional intelligence. If they were stubborn, they would have been fired long ago.
So they naturally understand that if Tang Ping dares to bring them into the village openly, there must be no problem.
If there were any issues, it wouldn't be something they, mere low-level officials, could handle.
Therefore, they decide to note it in their report and let the higher-ups deal with it.
On the other side!
"Such cowards!"
Hyuga Cangyue seems to have heard the comments from the two registration ninjas, appearing somewhat dissatisfied.
She wants them to step forward and cause trouble, so there would be some entertainment.
Bored, I want to see blood flowing like a river!
Especially humiliating Konoha, she can't express how much she enjoys it.
After all, the existence of the Caged Bird Seal is allowed by the village, which not only took her parents but also made her live in hell. If not for Tang Ping's redemption, she would have surely died silently in the forest that day.
For the village, her restraint from taking direct action is already the greatest limit, so when it comes to humiliating the village, she only has one word.
Go all out!
Now, seeing the opportunity to humiliate the village slip away, she naturally feels frustrated.
"They are not cowards, just smart!"
Uchiha Jingxiang's voice sounds from under her mask.
Since they are 'sacrifices' in the village, they must wear masks, or it would be a direct insult to the village's high-level officials and the Uchiha Clan.
However, despite wearing masks, the village's high-level officials are aware of their arrival.
After all, do they really think the village doesn't notice their presence through long-distance observation techniques?
"Go back and meet up with the clan, prepare for the departure, we'll head to the Hokage Tower!"
When they reach the village's core area, Tang Ping indicates for the two to return to the clan's land.
"Alright!"
Uchiha Yayi nods and takes Uchiha Jingxiang back to the clan's land.
Relocating the Main Branch is no easy task.
People are easy to move, but what about wealth, houses, and so on?
Tang Ping's solution is simple.
Compensation!
For example, how much compensation per square meter of a house, or how many square meters of new housing in exchange.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
It's like relocation compensation!
Tang Ping got the idea from this.
After all, Tian Shou Pavilion has plenty of land, and it would just take some time to build new houses. If that's not feasible, they could use 'land' as compensation.
Even if the ninjas don't farm themselves, they can always use 'missions' to have others farm for them.
In any case, the Main Branch of the Uchiha Clan doesn't need to worry about suffering after relocating out of the village.
While thinking about these things, Tang Ping and his group arrived at the Hokage Tower.
"Really fast, tsk!"
Looking at the completely renewed red building and the architectural cluster, as well as the newly reconstructed Shadow Rock, Hyuga Cangyue's face was filled with undisguised sarcasm.
The Shinobi World War had reached such a level that every bit of the village's resources was incredibly precious. To still allocate funds for reconstruction was indeed infuriating.
However, upon noticing someone looking over, she immediately entered her 'Innocent Flower' mode.
Her face, now disguised, was full of timidity and harmlessness, making it impossible to tell that she was a Sky-Descended Strong Woman who had dared to face off against Daido.
Even if Uchiha Madara crawled out from the ground, she could at least hold him off for a while, ensuring her safe retreat.
After all, the other party no longer had the Rinnegan, and his combat power was severely diminished due to his physical condition. Adopting a 'Wear Down the Old Man' tactic could drag him to death.
The people entering and exiting the Hokage Tower naturally noticed Tang Ping and his group.
However, due to their long absence and the village's information lockdown, even with their glorious battle achievements, their fame in the village had been steadily declining.
The village was quite skilled at manipulating public opinion.
Otherwise, a few years later, there wouldn't have been a situation where a famous member of the Three Great Shinobi, Orochimaru, would lose to a junior.
"Who is this?"
"Looks familiar, I think I've seen him somewhere!"
"Right, it's the Purifying Flame and Storm's Wrath!"
"Exactly, his shinobi tools are unique; there's nothing like them in the village!"
...
Many of the villagers gradually recognized the three who had arrived at the Hokage Tower.
Especially Yamakai Koji, known as 'Storm's Wrath,' who was the first to be recognized.
His current attire had already restored his full metal armor, and his intimidating height of about 2.5 meters made ordinary people look short in comparison.
There were countless curious gazes directed at the 'shinobi tools' on his body.
Powerful shinobi tools were highly sought after.
Just like the Seven Shinobi Blades of the Mist Shinobi, which were the aspiration of all Mist Shinobi.
The 'shinobi tools' on Yamakai Koji's body had effects that were even stronger, attracting even more attention.
Especially from Danzo's Root Division!
Unfortunately, they were in Yamakai Koji's hands; otherwise, he would have long since found a way to get them.
Thud, thud!
The three followed the new staircase to the second floor.
Fortunately, the power armor came with a weight reduction effect; otherwise, the stairs would have broken under the weight of the several-ton armor.
Note: This effect is not difficult to achieve.
Just like how, with chakra support, a ninja can stand on water, a few tons of weight would only require a small amount of chakra to manage.
Knock, knock!
After the guiding shinobi knocked and received permission to enter, the three followed inside.
The semi-circular Hokage office was quite spacious.
A large desk piled with documents was at the center, and behind it sat Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing a hat with the kanji for 'Fire,' which clearly indicated the nature of this office.
On the side, there were two small desks with two old Beiden sitting behind them.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado!
These two usually stayed in their own offices and only came here when necessary.
Finally, there was the man who had lost a leg but still chose to stand by the window, displaying his strong presence.
Danzo!
His presence in the office was enough to indicate the importance of this meeting.
After all, Konoha was known for holding large meetings for small matters and small meetings for large matters. Once a small meeting decided something, other people's opinions didn't matter.
Slam!
The door was closed by the guiding shinobi.
Now, there were no outsiders in the office, not even a Jonin commander like Nara Shikaku, the military master of Konoha.
This already hinted that the F4 was preparing to make a deal with Tang Ping.
At this moment, Tang Ping had the qualifications to negotiate with the village.
"Now that I'm here, can we start fulfilling the conditions?"
As soon as the door closed, Tang Ping got straight to the point.
He had come here today not for idle chat but to get the village to release the people first.
Money first, then goods!
That was his goal.
The village wanted to pay after he completed his mission, agreeing to the relocation only after he resolved the crisis. He naturally couldn't agree to that.
Thus, the atmosphere of this meeting was quite tense.
