Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 30: The Promise with Liuli, Entrapment, Mad Bull, and Blue Dog Appear!

Shen Yue looked at the determined purple-haired girl in front of her, and her heart stirred slightly.

He reached out and gave Liuli a light high five.

"It's a deal, Your Highness Liuli."

"It's a deal!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of clapping hands together is crisp and clear.

The moment Shen Yue touched Liu Li's palm, she felt that the other's palm was warm and smooth like jade, just like a beautiful piece of jade.

Princess Liuli seemed to be having her hand touched by a man for the first time. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she gently brushed her hair aside with her delicate hand, turning her head to look outside with a hint of embarrassment.

Sunlight shone on the two of them, and also on the ancient and vast capital city behind them.

"Well then, see you in Konoha."

Shen Yue finished speaking, then turned and left.

Princess Liuli stood under the porch, watching Shenyue's figure gradually disappear into the distance. Her purple eyes shone with light as she murmured to herself, "Shenyue-jun, I hope we meet again. You will see a better Fire Kingdom."

Shen Yue, along with Qing Shui and Tie Shu, left the capital of the Fire Kingdom.

As for Zhishui, Shenyue instructed him to remain hidden in the shadows, concealing all his presence, and follow from a distance, without revealing himself easily.

After all, the people Danzo sent to kill him wouldn't dare show themselves if they saw the famous "Shisui of the Body Flicker" in the ninja world.

"Brother Zhishui, just stay back and watch. Unless I call you or the other side receives unexpected reinforcements, don't make a move."

Before leaving the city, Shingetsu specifically told Shisui, "I want to try out the new moves I've learned."

"With your strength, as long as Danzo doesn't make a move, no one in Root can be your match. However, you still need to be careful, as you carry the future of the Uchiha clan on your shoulders!" Shisui looked at Shingetsu, who was eager to try, and did not stop him, but only reminded him to be careful.

"Don't worry." Shen Yue grinned.

Thus, the three-person team, along with an invisible shadow, embarked on their journey back to Konoha.

The first half of the journey was smooth sailing.

After leaving the plains where the capital was located, the road gradually entered an area where hills and woodlands intertwined.

Sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows, and birdsong fills the forest, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.

"During this trip to the Land of Fire, the captain solved a major case. The Daimyo has also gained a newfound respect for the captain and our Uchiha clan, even doubling the funding allocated to us!"

"Yes, now no one will dare to underestimate the Uchiha clan!"

"I wonder how Chief Fugaku has been doing these past few days. When I get back, I'll treat you all to barbecue!"

"Really? That's great!"

"Long live the captain!"

Shenyue, Qingshui, and Tieshu chatted and laughed, their steps light and carefree, appearing completely unguarded, as if they had successfully completed their mission and were returning home in comfort.

Qingshui and Tieshu were still excitedly discussing the results of this mission.

Just as they were crossing a relatively open forest clearing, surrounded by ancient trees and in dim light.

A sudden change has occurred!

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out simultaneously from all directions!

Not one or two, but more than a dozen streaks of cold light tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing shriek, shooting out from the shadows of the tree canopy above!

The target is entirely focused on Shingetsu, who is walking at the very front!

The shuriken throwing technique is extremely tricky, blocking all conventional dodge angles, and its speed is astonishing!

"So fast, dangerous, Captain, watch out!" Iron Tree reacted the fastest. Although he was also startled, his combat instincts, honed from long-term missions with Shen Yue, immediately kicked in. He quickly formed hand seals and slammed them to the ground.

"Earth Release. Earthflow Wall!"

Boom!

A thick earthen wall instantly rose from the ground in front of Shenyue, enveloping the three of them and blocking most of the shuriken's trajectory from the front and sides.

The clanging sounds of impacts blended together, sparks flew, and swords were either deflected or embedded deeply into the earthen walls.

"Someone actually dared to assassinate us?" Qing Shui was also furious.

However, the attack was not over. The instant the earth wall rose, a new ninjutsu was activated!

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

A massive torrent of water suddenly appeared, like a river bursting its banks, carrying immense power and icy chill, rushing towards the newly erected earthen wall and the three people behind it!

Although the Earth Wall was sturdy, it was washed away in less than two seconds by this large-scale, high-impact Water Release ninjutsu!

boom!

The murky water mixed with broken clods of earth formed an even more turbulent wave that swept towards the three people who had lost their cover!

Shen Yue remained calm, her eyes showing little change.

"tread water!"

As he gave the order, the three of them leaped into the air to avoid being swept away by the waves.

Almost simultaneously, as they gathered chakra beneath their feet and landed again.

They had already firmly planted their feet on the surging water.

Their precise control over chakra made them feel as if they were standing on flat ground.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, this level of attack really can't kill you!"

"It seems we have to take action ourselves!"

Two figures emerged from the water like ghosts.

One of them was exceptionally tall and muscular, nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscles. Even wearing a loose-fitting ANBU uniform, he couldn't hide his oppressive power. He wore a Root organization mask with an animal pattern on his face, and his code name was "Mad Bull".

The other person was tall and slender, moving lightly and silently. He also wore a mask, and his eyes, through the holes in the mask, were coldly fixed on Shen Yue. It was "Blue Dog".

They positioned themselves on the left and right, subtly forming a pincer movement, surrounding Shenyue and the other two.

"The Uchiha brats are got some skills, but it's all over now!" Mad Bull said in a gruff voice.

Blue Dog silently drew his ninja sword from his back, the blade reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight filtering through the leaves.

His gaze lingered more on Shingetsu, the Sharingan genius, who also possessed the eyes that Lord Danzo had specifically instructed him to bring back.

"You are Konoha's ANBU! Damn it, how dare you ambush us!" Qing Shui and Tie Shu were now fully in battle mode, back to back, watching the two Root members who had appeared warily, their hands tightly gripping kunai.

They could sense the chilling killing intent emanating from the other person and the aura of someone who had been through countless battles and regarded human life as worthless. This was a true elite assassin, not an ordinary ninja.

Shen Yue stood slightly ahead of the two, his Sharingan already activated, the three tomoe slowly rotating.

He looked up at the towering bull and the silent blue dog, his face showing no fear, but rather a near-radiant smile:

"We've been waiting for you all this way, you've finally come out."

"That old scoundrel Danzo only sent the two of you? Tsk, how stingy."

"What do you mean by that?" Mad Bull and Blue Dog were both startled by Shen Yue's words.

"My meaning is very clear: this time it's not you ambush me, but me luring you out!" A dangerous glint burned in Shen Yue's eyes.
