The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 148 Capturing Gaara

The twenty-odd people in Yecang all had solemn expressions.

The Uchiha clan's fighting prowess is well-known, and their ability to outnumber others clearly indicates they have something to rely on.

As expected, the Uchiha clan members separated from each other.

A person walked out from behind, which startled Yekura.

Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku!

Although Fugaku failed in his political clashes with Konoha, he also failed in educating his son.

But that doesn't mean Fugaku was a weakling.

The position of Uchiha clan leader is not hereditary; it is determined by who has the strongest fist.

He also earned his position as the head of the Fugaku clan through his own strength.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Fugaku dominated the battlefield and earned the nickname "Ferocious-Eyed Fugaku".

Yecang knew very well that he was no match for him.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "I don't know why Chief Fugaku has surrounded us?"

Strictly speaking, this is still the Land of Rivers, and we have not yet entered the territory of the Land of Fire.

Yekura's missions had nothing to do with Konoha Village.

However, since Fugaku has come all this way, he naturally won't be fooled.

He crossed his arms, having already activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"That excuse is too naive. I know that kid is a Jinchūriki."

Fugaku glanced at Gaara.

Gaara, however, showed no expression and seemed not to feel any fear.

"Hand over your jinchūriki, and I'll let you go."

There was a commotion on the Sunagakure side, with some people showing obvious signs of wavering.

Gaara just looked at Yoru.

Yekura blocked Gaara's path and said decisively, "Impossible."

This isn't because Yekura and Gaara have any deep feelings for each other, but because losing a Jinchuriki is a serious crime.

If Rasa loses his Jinchūriki, he will definitely take advantage of the situation.

Given Fugaku's personality, he should have made his move at this point.

In fact, that is true.

After she said "impossible," the whole world completely distorted, spinning and undulating.

Ye Cang was utterly astonished: "When!?"

In the blink of an eye, she was under the spell.

Could it be just from that one glance at Fugaku?

hateful!

Yekura wasn't unfamiliar with the Uchiha clan, but she never expected Fugaku Uchiha's genjutsu to be this powerful.

She didn't even know when she fell under the illusion.

The masters of genjutsu in the Uchiha clan do not rely on eye contact to cast genjutsu.

Sound, movement, and smell can all serve as mediums for illusion.

Those with the Mangekyou Sharingan, being Uchiha with the Genjutsu eye, are all quite skilled.

Moreover, it's Fugaku.

"Yakura, whether you hand over the Jinchuriki or not this time, Rasa will not let you live."

Yokura was pulled into the illusion, but Fugaku did not make a move. Instead, he suddenly said something like this.

Having just been tricked, Yekura was startled, knowing that Fugaku's words had a hidden meaning. With a complicated expression, she asked:

"Chief Fugaku, why don't you speak frankly?"

“Your Sunagakure and Kirigakure have been at war for a long time, but Rasa is prepared to use you as a sacrifice in order to make peace with Kirigakure and achieve a ceasefire.”

Yekura's expression changed, as if she was thinking.

Fugaku continued, "They plan to have Kirigakure ambush you while you're on a classified mission."

Yecang said with a strange expression, "I didn't encounter any ambushes from Kirigakure."

Fugaku laughed and said, "There's a problem with Kirigakure, so the cooperation is naturally off."

Yekura did indeed go on a so-called secret mission, but when she arrived at the destination, she didn't find anyone.

However, after Yekura realized something was wrong, she did not go back to report to the Kazekage, but went directly to Ebizo.

They obtained some crucial intelligence there.

Therefore, Yekura directly sided with Chiyo and Ebizo.

"How did Lord Fugaku know all this?"

Fugaku naturally noticed the slight change in Yekura's tone.

“The Hidden Mist Village is now an ally of the Uchiha clan, and the Mizukage told you this personally.”

Yekura was somewhat surprised that Uchiha Fugaku actually admitted that Kirigakure was their ally.

Her voice was a little hoarse as she asked, "Why did Clan Chief Fugaku help me?"

Fugaku's face remained expressionless; he simply said coldly:

"We, the Uchiha, intend to do Chiyo a favor."

"Of course, you can refuse this favor, and we won't mind killing you all."

Yecang's move was a trivial one for Qianyao.

The purpose of keeping it was to create political enemies for Rosa.

Despite being subdued by Fugaku in one move, Yekura is quite prestigious in Sunagakure.

Qianyao still has a use for her.

Since Fugaku had already said all that, Yekura didn't necessarily want her Sunagakure to die.

"I accept Lord Fugaku's kind offer," Yekura sighed and agreed.

Fugaku wasn't afraid that Yokura would go back on her word, so he immediately dispelled the illusion.

Ye Cang's mind cleared up, and he lost his balance, taking two steps backward.

Her teammates then realized what was happening and quickly helped her up.

"Lord Yakura!?"

She raised her hand to indicate that she was alright.

Then he made a tactical hand gesture: "Abandon the Jinchūriki."

"Why? Lady Yekura!?"

Ye Cang glared at him, signaling him to shut up.

The others were also knowledgeable; Yecang was able to fall under the illusion without realizing it.

This means that taking action this time will result in death.

This Jinchūriki made no contribution to Sunagakure and was not under anyone's control.

To give up one's life for someone who is a Jinchūriki? How could that be possible?

Gaara saw that the Sand Village had dispersed its protection around him, his face contorted with rage, and he burst into maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha...hahahaha..."

I knew it, I knew it all along, I shouldn't have any expectations of anyone!

Just love yourself, just fight for yourself.

"Aaaaaah... Die!"

A massive amount of yellow sand surged and rushed towards Uchiha Fugaku.

"Boom!"

The sand was thrown directly to the spot where Fugaku had just been standing.

But the Fugaku people have disappeared.

Gaara felt the space in front of him darken, and Fugaku was already beside him.

While the sand was automatically protecting Gaara, Fugaku had already shattered it with a single punch.

Then he grabbed Gaara by the neck and lifted him up.

Gaara's eyes bulged out as he struggled desperately, with sand constantly surging upwards.

But Gaara is only 7 years old now, and sand can't hurt Fugaku at all.

Gaara stared intently at Fugaku, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Uh uh..."

As Fugaku tightened his grip, Gaara's eyes rolled upwards, and he immediately fainted.

Fugaku loosened his grip, and Gaara fell straight down.

But the next second, a large amount of yellow sand surged up from beneath Gaara's feet, directly dragging him down.

Then it was applied to Gaara's body.

A high-pitched voice came from Gaara.

"Hahaha, I'm here!"

Then, a large amount of sand formed a giant hand, ready to attack Fugaku in front of it.

As a result, Fugaku struck first, and a purplish-black Susanoo instantly appeared on his body.

With a single punch, he shattered the giant hand made of sand.
