I'm retrieving corpses in Konoha.

These axemen were all incredibly strong, and the giant axes they swung weighed over a hundred pounds.

"Clang!"

The buzzing sound reached the high wall, and the axeman swung his giant axe in a wide arc, striking the terracotta warrior's head, but only managed to create a crack.

With a flick of his longsword, the terracotta warrior cleaved the axe-wielder in two from bottom to top, right between his legs.

Blood splattered, staining the terracotta warriors red.

These axemen couldn't even stop the terracotta warriors; all that remained were a few cracks on their bodies and a pile of corpses.

The minister was dumbfounded. He had been stationed in the capital all this time, so this was the first time he had ever seen these terracotta warriors.

They thought they could at least break some of the terracotta warriors, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Unexpectedly, the reality was one-sided.

Shisui activated his Sharingan, lifted his leg, and took a step forward, preparing to go down and join the battle.

He had just started to move when he felt someone press down on his shoulder.

Uchiha Natsu placed his right hand on Shisui's shoulder, staring blankly downwards without uttering a word.

Shisui glanced at Uzuki Yugao and Hinata Rena again, and found that the two of them were standing there calmly, showing no intention of moving.

Shisui was completely confused, feeling that the other three seemed to have discussed some plan while he was away.

But he never left the group, which puzzled Shisui greatly.

But since Uchiha Natsu wouldn't let him go down, Shisui hesitated for a moment, then had no choice but to shut down his Sharingan and retreat.

They continued to stand quietly behind the shrine maiden, along with the others.

Seeing the horrific scene below, the priestess felt a pang of pain in her heart and quickly mobilized her inner power to begin chanting the incantation once more.

Just then, four figures suddenly leaped out from behind the terracotta warriors and rushed to the top of the high wall in a few flashes.

Everyone was terrified, and they aimed their bows and arrows at the four people who had suddenly leaped up.

All four people were men, dressed in white robes with dark gray horizontal stripes.

Of the four people, one was fat, one was thin, one was muscular, and only one had a well-proportioned figure.

Their faces looked as if they were wearing makeup, and they all looked strange.

"Hey, big brother, that must be the shrine maiden." One of the thinner ones looked at the shrine maiden wearing a crown.

The well-proportioned man in the white robe looked at the priestess, grinned, and said, "It should be her."

"Who are you people!" The military commander drew his samurai sword and demanded coldly.

Although he asked this question, he already knew that these people were all Huang Quan's subordinates.

As one of the four subordinates of the demon, Huang Quan could not possibly be without his own subordinates.

The burly man in the white robe chuckled hoarsely, "You talk a lot."

The words had barely left his mouth when a loud "bang" was heard.

He suddenly burst forward, his muscles bulging.

The enormous fist struck the minister's chest in an instant, producing a dull thud.

"boom!"

The minister, who was over fifty years old, was so shocked by the punch that his internal organs almost ruptured, and he was sent flying backward.

After landing, it rolled several times and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

In other words, the minister, being a military officer, was physically fit. Otherwise, that powerful punch would have killed him instantly.

Even so, the ministers were already deeply shocked.

Small countries like the Land of Demons, located outside the circle of the five great ninja nations, rarely interact with ninjas.

The five major powers were constantly at odds with each other, engaged in continuous wars, and had no interest in invading these smaller countries.

Therefore, the strongest opponent he has ever faced was probably a genin; he has never encountered such a strong opponent before.

"Are these people ninjas...?" The minister's heart was filled with shock, and a sense of powerlessness washed over him.

He was almost in despair; in this situation, everyone would die, and no one could survive.

The witch was also startled, watching the four strange people warily, but her anxiety grew.

Because the Thousand-Armed God, whom she was waiting for, never appeared.

The priestess believed that as long as Senju Kamima made a move, with his legendary strength, he would be able to turn the tide in an instant.

But even now, she hasn't seen the masked figure, causing the priestess's heart to sink.

Uchiha Natsu glanced at the four of them indifferently.

In his mind, he vaguely recalled the four men under Huang Quan's command.

However, these people look significantly different from the four Naruto and Neji defeated in the original timeline.

[I highly recommend Wildfruit Reading; it's really good for tracking your books. You can download it here and give it a try.]

They should be considered "seniors" of the four.

However, it doesn't matter, they're just a few noobs anyway.

Even if they have the strength of a Jonin, they pose no threat.

Uchiha Natsu crossed his arms and gave Uzuki Yugao a wink.

Uzuki Yugao understood and immediately stepped forward, standing between the four and the shrine maiden.

The shrine maiden wanted to speak up and stop her, fearing that Uzuki Yugao would lose her life in vain.

But when he thought about how their strength might not even be comparable to that of a newly graduated genin, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

These ninjas, after all, are capable of using various ninjutsu, and are not on the same level as us.

The thin, white-robed man looked at Uzuki Yugao with a mocking expression and laughed exaggeratedly:

"Little kid, your leader is too cowardly, actually pushing you out here, hahaha."

The four men in white robes all sneered. The one called the eldest brother, a well-proportioned man in white robes, smiled strangely:

"Little girl, I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise it will hurt a lot if your body is torn apart."

In their view, these people were just ordinary people, so they posed no threat whatsoever.

If they were facing ninjas, they wouldn't waste so much time talking; they would definitely seize every opportunity to attack.

Everyone else was also puzzled, especially the minister who had collapsed not far away.

He didn't understand why Uchiha Natsu wanted the little girl in the group to step forward.

This is giving this little girl far too much credit.

He had just experienced the strength of those four people firsthand.

If that punch had landed on this girl, it probably would have shattered her bones into pieces.

Under everyone's gaze, Uzuki Yugao raised her pale hands and formed a Ren seal.

Chapter 81 The Clown

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

With a shout, three identical shadow clones appeared out of thin air on either side of Uzuki Yugao.

They formed an encirclement, surrounding the four white-robed figures in the middle.

The moment Uzuki Yugao formed hand seals, the four white-robed figures noticed the headbands on the heads of Uchiha Natsu and the other three.

Just now, due to habitual thinking, they didn't notice for a moment.

"A Konoha ninja?" The well-proportioned man in white robes immediately became alert.

At the same time, they also remembered the masked ninjas they had taken down before.

Those ninjas didn't have headbands, but you could tell from their attire that they were from the Anbu of the Five Great Ninja Nations.

Considering the four Konoha ninjas present, it's almost certain that they eliminated the Konoha Anbu.

Those few ANBU ninjas actually joined forces to defeat more than a hundred of their terracotta warriors, demonstrating their formidable strength.

But in the end, they couldn't overcome the sheer number of people.

However, Konoha is far from here and has just experienced a war, so why would their ninjas be here?

The white-robed man at the head of the group was puzzled.

"Brother, what should we do?" asked the burly man in white robes.

At this moment, the four white-robed figures were back to back, each facing a Uzuki Yugao.

The white-robed man at the head of the group snorted and said, "Killing them is nothing more than taking down a few greenhorns."

He also noticed that there were two very young ninjas in the group, and the other two were not very old either.

Typically, this kind of combination involves an instructor guiding newly graduated genin, whose overall strength and combat coordination are quite poor.

They have noticed Hyuga Rena, but even if one of them is a ninja from the Hyuga clan, he won't be too strong.

There's at most one Jonin in this team; that's the white-robed man's guess about Uchiha Natsu's squad.

But clearly, his guess was completely wrong.

After Uzuki Yugao used Shadow Clone Jutsu, both her main body and each of her shadow clones simultaneously drew their katana.

The four men in white robes instinctively assumed that Uzuki Yugao was weak, but they still prepared to use ninjutsu.

After all, they are ninjas, and even genin cannot be treated as carelessly as they would with ordinary people.

But then they discovered...

The katana in Uzuki Yugao's hand began to shake.

Before they could even unleash their ninjutsu, their vision was already filled with sword shadows; they had fallen victim to the illusion of [Sword Art: Willow].

The four were quite strong, and they immediately realized that they had been tricked by an illusion.
