I rely on myself

Chapter 677 Enemies meet
Just as Lin Yuan and Mizunotsuki Hide were discussing the progress of the so-called World Tree Project, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Hearing this voice, Lin Yuan's brows jumped involuntarily, and he immediately had a bad premonition, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Come in."

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."

The person outside the door heard Lin Yuan's voice, apologized first and then opened the door and walked in. He was a clerk, and the expression on his face was very anxious at this time.

As soon as he entered the office, he hurried forward and said, "Reporting to Lord Lin Yuan, there is an urgent communication from the border. The mobile troops patrolling the outer sea area have found traces of unknown people entering our country. Based on the traces, it is inferred that the other party should have set foot on our land."

When Lin Yuan heard the news, he immediately frowned. His bad premonition came true, but that was all.

"Have you notified the security team? Ask them to keep an eye out."

"Someone else has already gone to notify them, and I'm also going to notify you first."

"Then it shouldn't be a big problem. Next we just have to wait for information from the security team. You've worked hard. You can go back and get busy now."

"Yes!"

After hearing that someone from the security team had been notified, Lin Yuan felt relieved. He comforted the clerk who had come to report in a hurry and asked him to go back first.

After watching the clerk leave, Mizunotsuki Hide suddenly said, "It seems that we have been noticed."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan's frown relaxed, and he finally calmed down and replied, "It should be correct. It's not surprising. After all, we sent so many Fatui teams to the Ninja World. There will be traces left. Anyone who is interested will naturally find our Snow Country as long as they follow the investigation. It's better to say that it's only been noticed now because of our good intelligence work."

"Indeed." Mizunotsuki Hide nodded, with a look of agreement on his face. "And now that we have been discovered, then we in the Snow Country can also take the opportunity to stand on the big stage of the Ninja World. After all, although it has only been five years, thanks to everyone's efforts, our country's strength can be said to have been rapidly improved."

"But it's not enough. After all, our goal can be said to be the enemy of almost the entire ninja world, so our current strength is not enough."

Lin Yuan was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, and Mizunotsuki Hide was stunned for a moment, then nodded and admitted: "Indeed, but it is only a matter of time. With more time, even if we use the power of a country to fight against the entire ninja world, it will not be a problem."

"I hope so. I still need to work harder..."

Just as Lin Yuan and Mizunotsuki Hide were discussing future plans, time went back to a while ago when the so-called invaders had just arrived.

On a coast somewhere in the Snow Country, under a towering mountain wall, a small boat was shaking a little, but it was moving forward firmly and finally came close to the mountain wall.

Two figures wearing black windbreakers embroidered with red clouds appeared from the boat, looked at the towering mountain in front of them, and then without any hesitation, both of them jumped hard and jumped several meters high.

With no intention of stopping, the two of them relied on their amazing jumping ability to continuously jump using the protruding rocks on the cliff as footholds, moving forward towards the cliff. Soon, both of them jumped onto the cliff.

The towering coastal cliffs posed no obstacle to the two men, and it was at this moment that they officially set foot on the land of the Snow Country.

As soon as they set foot on this land, the taller of the two began to complain: "Oh my, we're finally here. Although I told you before, it's worthy of being called the Snow Country, right? Everywhere I look is covered with snow. How do the people here manage to survive in such a harsh environment?" "…………"

Obviously, the other person didn't have any intention of responding, and the person who was speaking was already used to this, so he continued to talk to himself: "Then again, what should we do next? There is ice and snow everywhere, and there is no map. It is not easy to find a village in this situation."

"coming!"

"what?"

At this time, the body that had been silent suddenly spoke. Just when the taller man was a little confused, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came, and then five figures suddenly appeared on the ground not far away.

The five newly appeared figures were all wearing forehead protectors with snowflake logos on them. It was obvious that they were ninjas from this country, the Snow Country. However, what attracted the two men's attention more was a logo on their bodies, a logo that looked like a round fan.

"This, this is really unexpected, Mr. Itachi. It's been a long time since I last saw my fellow tribesmen. Do you have anything to say?"

Listening to his companion's smiling words, the expression of the man called Itachi did not change, but his originally dark pupils instantly turned scarlet, and three magatama appeared and began to rotate rapidly, almost forming a line.

This is the Uchiha family's unique bloodline limit, the Sharingan, and the identity of this person is naturally self-evident. He is the legendary murderer who single-handedly slaughtered the entire Uchiha family, Uchiha Itachi!

After opening his Sharingan and observing the five figures in front of him one by one, Uchiha Itachi slowly said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I couldn't find any trace of my family since that night. I didn't expect you to escape to such a remote place."

"Humph! You are so bold, you fellow."

The five new arrivals were all from the Uchiha clan. They also saw the invaders' faces clearly. After being shocked, anger surged from the bottom of their hearts. They showed no weakness and opened their Sharingan to look at them.

What surprised Itachi Uchiha and his companions was that the five members of the Uchiha clan in front of them all had three-magatama Sharingan.

You have to know that the reason why the Uchiha clan is so famous is due to its iconic Sharingan. Generally speaking, when the Sharingan is just opened, that is, one magatama, one has the strength of a Genin, while two magatama are Chunin, and three magatama are naturally the strength of a Jonin, and not just an ordinary Jonin.

In other words, the five Uchiha clan members in front of him all have the strength of a jonin. Although there were quite a few such members during the Uchiha clan's heyday, in Itachi Uchiha's impression, none of these five people were on the list of jonin in the family. This means that they only opened the Three-magatama Sharingan after the family fled here.

On the night of the genocide, the Uchiha clan undoubtedly suffered a heavy blow. After all, in order to ensure the implementation of the plan, those clansmen who had opened the three-magatama Sharingan were the focus of attention and were the first targets to be attacked that night.

Logically speaking, even if the Uchiha clan, which had suffered a severe blow, had been recuperated over the years, they should not have recovered so quickly, or were the five people in front of them just special cases.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, and he must find out clearly.
