Chapter 250 Green Susanoo, Conquering the Crimson Lotus!
Chapter 250 Green Susanoo, Conquering the Crimson Lotus!
Seeing that Guren still wanted to resist, Uchiha Itachi felt a little helpless.
He hadn't activated his Mangekyou Sharingan yet, so all he could do was shout, "Shisui-nii, show her the true power of the Uchiha clan!"
Uchiha Shisui slowly stepped out, his Mangekyou Sharingan illuminating his eyes.
Pale green chakra erupted from his body, quickly condensing into a huge humanoid silhouette.
In a short while, a green Susanoo, 110 meters tall, appeared on the trade route.
Susanoo wielded a giant green spiral sword. With Shisui's will, the spiral sword was gently swung, instantly shattering the surrounding red crystal barrier into fragments.
Honglian and her underlings were completely stunned. Although they had heard of the Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo.
I never imagined I would witness such a breathtaking sight.
The pale green Susanoo stood there like a god, its powerful aura making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Honglian slumped her shoulders, the stubbornness in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a hint of helplessness: "I lost. I'll go with you, but please don't hurt my men. Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I won't go with you."
Ru Luoli was the first to rush forward and stand in front of Honglian.
The other henchmen quickly surrounded them, gripping their weapons tightly. Even though their voices trembled, their eyes were filled with determination: "Sister Honglian! We'll fight them! You run!"
Honglian raised her hand and pressed down on Nurari's shoulder, gently shaking her head: "No need. It's rumored that although the Uchiha Sanfeng are lecherous, they treat their women very well. I'm going to the Land of Water to enjoy myself, which is better than collecting protection money here."
She turned to Itachi and Shisui, her gaze scrutinizing them: "Can you guarantee the safety of my men?"
Uchiha Shisui retracted his Susanoo, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes gradually faded.
Seeing how much his underlings loved Honglian, his tone softened considerably: "The Land of Water is in dire need of manpower right now. If you're willing, you can join them. Having stable accommodations and plenty of food is much better than living here, exposed to the elements and surviving by robbing on the road."
Honglian's underlings looked at each other, their eyes filled with hesitation.
Ru Luoli looked at Honglian, and seeing her nod, tentatively asked, "Can... we really join the Land of Water?"
At this moment, Uchiha Shisui became an honest man and nodded: "Of course, as long as you are willing to abide by the rules of the Land of Water, you will receive the treatment you deserve."
Honglian looked at her underlings around her, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.
She turned to Itachi and Shisui, her tone firm: "I'll go with you, but I have one condition... I want to ensure that my subordinates can live peacefully in the Land of Water."
Itachi Uchiha was filled with excitement... He had finally found someone who met the requirements, and he could go back and report to his adoptive father!
He smiled and replied, "No problem. With your beauty and abilities, I'm sure my father will like you. You'll have a high status in the Land of Water then. Have your men come with us! However, we need to go to the Land of Wind before returning to the Land of Water. I hope you won't mind!"
Honglian suddenly looked up, her brows instantly furrowing into a deep frown.
Having wandered the borders of various countries since childhood, she knew the situation in the Land of Wind all too well.
It was a land covered by desert, with extreme temperature differences between day and night, scarce water resources, and a very harsh environment.
"What are you going to the Land of Wind for? There's been a lot of friction between Sunagakure and the surrounding smaller countries lately, and war could break out at any moment. My underlings..."
Upon hearing this, Ru Luoli quickly interjected, "Boss Honglian! We're not afraid of danger! Wherever you go, we'll go!"
The other underlings echoed this sentiment. They had followed Honglian for many years and regarded her as their only support, and would never easily part with her.
Seeing that Guren still had reservations, Uchiha Shisui's eyes shone with strength and confidence: "Don't worry, it's just a trip to the Land of Wind to find something, not a combat mission. Besides, with me here, even if we encounter any unexpected situations, I can protect everyone's safety. I didn't use my full strength just now."
Looking into Shisui's calm and unwavering eyes, Honglian gradually formed a judgment in her mind.
"The environment in the Land of Wind is harsh, so we need to prepare some water and sun protection supplies. We have a temporary base in the valley ahead. We can go back and pack our supplies, and then we can come with you."
Uchiha Shisui immediately nodded: "Okay, but we need to go to the base with you. After all, we just met, and getting to know each other better will help avoid misunderstandings."
Honglian did not refute, but simply gave a faint "hmm".
She turned and gave her underlings a look, then took the lead and walked towards the valley, with the other underlings following closely behind.
Watching Guren's retreating figure, Itachi Uchiha exclaimed excitedly, "Shisui-nii, we didn't expect to be so lucky! Father will definitely be very happy!"
Uchiha Shisui patted him on the shoulder: "Itachi, don't be too hasty. The environment in the Land of Wind is complicated. We need to keep an eye on Guren and the others. After all, they've never been to the desert before. If something goes wrong, it will delay their journey."
The two quickly caught up with Honglian's group; the travelers on the trade route had already dispersed.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at their temporary base in the valley.
It was a cave hidden behind rocks, with the entrance covered by vines. The inside was fairly tidy, with several bags of water and compressed dry food piled in the corner, and a few simple maps hanging on the wall.
"Wait here, we'll be there soon."
Guren said something to Uchiha Shisui, then led her underlings into the cave.
As Ru Luo Li packed his water bag, he asked in a low voice, "Boss Hong Lian, are we really going to the Land of Wind with them? That place is notoriously dangerous."
Honglian took a water bag and carefully checked its seal: "What else can we do? Their strength far surpasses ours. If we refuse, we won't even have a chance to resist. Going to the Land of Wind with them at least gives us a chance to survive. As for... strong individuals like the Uchiha Mitsurugi... I don't object to them!"
The underlings said no more and sped up their packing.
Outside the cave, Itachi Uchiha gestured with his fingers over a map of the Land of Wind, his eyes filled with anticipation.
About ten minutes later, Honglian led her underlings out of the cave. Each of them carried a backpack full of water and dry food, and had a cloak for sun protection hanging from their waist.
"We are all ready and can leave at any time."
Uchiha Shisui nodded, took out several sun and sand protection masks from his ninja tool bag, and handed them to Guren and the others.
"The Land of Wind has strong sunlight and strong winds and sandstorms; this will come in handy."
Honglian took the mask, and a slight thought crossed her mind as her fingertips touched the fabric.
The opponent was powerful, yet exceptionally meticulous, completely unlike the arrogant and aloof Uchiha people of legend.
She silently handed the masks to her younger brother: "Let's go, it'll be dark in half a day, and nighttime is better for traveling in the desert..."
