His expression changed as he wanted to ask Ryun about the conditions for using this technique. But Ryun remained silent and said coldly, "Didn't you ask me to help? Lead the way. If I asked you about your techniques, would you tell me everything?"

Kitsuchi sighed. How could anyone reveal their techniques to an enemy? Not even friends would share everything, let alone enemies.

Kitsuchi collected his thoughts and walked ahead to guide Ryun.

"Who goes there!" Kamizuru Seisen emerged from the shadows, followed by a giant man-eating wasp. The wasp was enormous, with sharp mouthparts and traces of blood, clearly having just finished feeding.

"Seisen, it's me, Kitsuchi." Kitsuchi smiled. Seisen immediately calmed the wasp, which obediently perched on his shoulder.

"Forgive me, Lord Kitsuchi. I'm on duty tonight, so I had to be cautious." He bowed to Kitsuchi.

The Kamizuru Clan, also known as the Kamizuru Clan, was a clan of insect users from Iwagakure, once as famous as the Aburame Clan.

During the Warring States period, they were known as "Aburame in the East, Kamizuru in the West."

It was said they declined after losing a competition against the Aburame Clan, leading to a lack of talent. But today, they had encountered a successor.

"Ryun, you may not have heard of the Kamizuru name, but you must know the Kamizuru Clan. This guy is the current successor of the Kamizuru Clan, extremely strong!"

"Even I, Kitsuchi, would need to expend great effort to defeat him. Especially that man-eating wasp of his—it can crush rocks and break stones. Truly fearsome!" Kitsuchi introduced.

"Ryun? Kitsuchi, is this Uchiha Ryun? The Second Shinobi God of Konoha!" Seisen's expression changed. Ryun's name was well-known throughout Iwagakure.

Ryun greeted Seisen politely, "Could you please introduce me to the Tsuchikage?" His tone was completely different from his usual domineering and ruthless demeanor on the battlefield.

Seisen was stunned. 'Are all strong people this polite?' But he didn't dwell on it and said, "Of course! Please wait at the village entrance. I'll inform the Tsuchikage immediately!"

After speaking, he said a few words to another guard and hurried into the village.

Ōnoki was still meditating to recover his chakra when he heard Seisen's hurried footsteps. He asked, "Did something happen to Han?"

He stopped gathering chakra and opened his eyes. His reserves had recovered about 60%.

Seisen knelt and reported, "Lord Tsuchikage! Lord Kitsuchi has returned with Uchiha Ryun! They're at the village entrance!"

He did not explain everything to Kitsuchi. If Kitsuchi discovered the Flying Thunder God mark and erased it, things would get troublesome.

Kitsuchi took a deep breath. Did this mean Ryun could ignore scouts and teleport freely? He could even teleport into their homes while they were asleep?

His expression changed as he wanted to ask Ryun about the conditions for using this technique. But Ryun remained silent and said co

Uchiha Ryun did not hide his Flying Thunder God Technique from Kitsuchi. To show off properly, he directly teleported to the previous battlefield.

opened his eyes, he found himself at the border. He was puzzled and looked at Ryun, who remained expressionless.

"This is one of Konoha's secret techniques. No need to be surprised. To save time, I teleported us directly here," Ryun said calmly.

Kitsuchi quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, Seisen. Ryun is here to help us. With him, we can suppress the turmoil caused by those Kumo scoundrels!"

He patted Seisen, who then relaxed and looked at Ryun with reverence. The strong were respected everywhere, even if they were enemies.

Ryun greeted Seisen politely, "Could you please introduce me to the Tsuchikage?" His tone was completely different from his usual domineering and ruthless demeanor on the battlefield.

Seisen knelt and reported, "Lord Tsuchikage! Lord Kitsuchi has returned with Uchiha Ryun! They're at the village entrance!"

Ōnoki raised an eyebrow and smiled. 'Finally, he's here.' But then he frowned. 'Why so fast? Could it be a Transformation Jutsu fake?'

He stood up, frowning. "I understand. Take me to them. Such distinguished guests must be welcomed personally."

He planned to test whether this was really Ryun and Kitsuchi. It wasn't paranoia—given the timing, if Kitsuchi had been captured and Kumo-nin used Transformation Jutsu to assassinate him, it would be disastrous.

Ōnoki's caution wasn't unfounded. In war, any underhanded tactic was fair game. His position as Tsuchikage for over a decade was secured not just by strength and intelligence but also by caution and suspicion.

Seisen opened the door, and Ōnoki followed, his right hand hidden behind his back, already preparing the Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu.

Ryun's pupils contracted, and his Mangekyō Sharingan appeared. Genjutsu: Darkness Technique! Instant cast. He pulled Kitsuchi aside just as the Particle Style beam shot past, striking a distant tree.

"Lord Tsuchikage has quite the welcoming method. How do you like my Darkness Technique?" Ryun sneered.

He had been invited, only to nearly get hit by Particle Style. If he hadn't reacted in time, it would have been disastrous.

Ōnoki's vision, touch, taste, and smell were sealed, leaving only hearing.

"My apologies, Uchiha Ryun. It's just that you and my son arrived too quickly. I feared Kumo scum had captured him and used Transformation Jutsu to deceive me." Ōnoki stood firm, unafraid of repercussions. At worst, he'd die.

"Hmm, I suppose I didn't consider that. I thought your village's situation was urgent, so I used a space-time technique to hurry." Ryun smiled.

"Oh? The signature technique of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju?" Ōnoki's interest was piqued.

Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique was famous as the first space-time ninjutsu, capable of crossing space instantly.

"Exactly." Ryun released the genjutsu, restoring Ōnoki's senses.

Ōnoki sighed in relief. Thankfully, Ryun wasn't holding a grudge. 'If that attack had landed, it would've pierced his heart. What a shame. I could've been famous for killing the Shinobi God.'

"Lord Tsuchikage, please explain the current situation in detail." Ryun shook his head and asked.

Ōnoki immediately straightened his back. "Ahem. The first battle was a victory. Our Jinchūriki, Han, has become a perfect Jinchūriki. With just 700 remaining troops, we wiped out over 1,000 elite enemy shinobi!"

Han had truly made him proud, giving him a chance to boast in front of Ryun.

"Oh. I killed 3,000 by myself." Ryun said casually.

Kitsuchi: "..."

Seisen: "..."

Ōnoki: "..."

'Yeah, yeah, who can compare to you? How awesome you are!'
