The extermination of my clan is imminent, but I am not an Uchiha

Due to Shigeru's previous instructions, all the ninjas of the Hagoromo clan focused on protecting their own safety. On the battlefield, they only held back the ninjas of the Tsuruta clan and did not fight desperately.

Thus, after a great battle, even though more than a dozen ninjas of the Hagoromo clan fought, not even one was injured.

After all, the ninjas who came from the Hagoromo clan were all at least jounin level.

If a ninja of this strength does not fight head-on, but instead chooses to restrain the opponent, it will be difficult for him to be killed unless the opponent's strength exceeds his own by too much.

After observing the surroundings on the battlefield, Shigeru said, "We will also follow them and take a look, but we must be vigilant to avoid running into an ambush."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Immediately afterward, Shigeru led his clan members.

The Yuhi clan and the Tsuruta clan are separated by two mountains. For ninjas, this distance is no different than meeting face to face. It is no wonder that the Yuhi clan and the Tsuruta clan are in constant conflict.

Not long after, they caught up with the Yuhi clan who chased the remaining Tsuruta clan ninjas up a large mountain.

However, just as everyone was about to continue chasing, several figures immediately walked forward.

"Suiton: Great waterfall!"

"Doton: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

The two ninjas at the front stood in front of the Yuhi clan's pursuers and directly formed seals to release their ninjutsu.

"Not good!"

Shigeru's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he stepped forward directly "Hyōton: City Wall!"

Tohō beside him also followed closely: "Jiton: Iron Cover Wall!"

In an instant, a wall of ice stood in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, several giant Tohō shurikens, which were as tall as a person and extremely dense, directly disintegrated into a large pile of iron filings, which condensed and covered the ice wall.

…

The jutsus bombarded the wall, producing a muffled sound. The enormous power even caused the ice wall to tremble twice.

Fortunately, the ice wall did not break due to Tohō's iron cladding.

On the other side of the ice wall, they saw that the Tsuruta clan ninjas had retreated far away. These ninjas who came to block the pursuers did not stay long, they turned around and used the body flicker technique to disappear.

Seeing that Suiton and Doton's attacks had ended, Shigeru and Tohō withdrew their respective defenses.

"Young patriarch, what should we do?" Tohō looked at Shigeru cautiously.

At this moment, the Yuhi Clan Patriarch next to him did not make any comments, but also looked at Shigeru.

Just a moment ago, he thought that today he could counterattack the Tsuruta clan and wipe them out completely. But now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

Seeing the ninjas who had disappeared, Shigeru looked a little solemn, "The two ninjas who just acted… They are definitely top elite jounin!"

The two ninjas who used Doton and Suiton just now, according to Shigeru's sensory abilities, were definitely at the level of top elite Jonin.

What's more, the opponent's strength does not fall short even compared to Tohō.

How could two such strong men suddenly appear in the Tsuruta clan?

There's definitely something wrong with this!

Tohō beside him also nodded, "Yes, I can feel that the strength of those two guys should be comparable to mine."

Shigeru turned his attention to the leader of the Yuhi clan, "Shall we go back first?"

Naturally, the Yuhi Clan Leader had no objections, he nodded and agreed, "Alright, Young Patriarch of the Hagoromo Clan."

…

It was noon.

After lunch, Shigeru and the group of clan members gathered at the house hosted by the Yuhi clan.

After dismissing the Yuhi clan servants, Shigeru looked at Tohō: "Tohō-San, what do you think about what happened this morning?"

Tohō thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Tsuruda is a small ninja clan, it's a little strange that three top elite Jonin would suddenly appear."

"I also find it a little strange, you know, even in our Hagoromo clan, before we experienced that war over a year ago, there were only ten top elite jounin." An elite jounin beside him immediately spoke up.

Even a top-tier ninja clan like the Hagoromo clan only had ten strong men of this level when they were at their peak, but a third-tier clan like Tsuruta suddenly had three.

Even excluding the dead Tsuruta clan patriarch, the opponent still has two top elite jounin, so there is definitely a big problem here.

After listening to the speeches of the two clan members, Shigeru nodded, "Yes, I also think this matter is a little strange.

"Also, do you still remember the elite Jonin who fought with me this morning? He saved the leader of the Tsuruta clan, and the leader of the Tsuruta clan called him Mr. Yūro, it can be seen that the leader of the Tsuruta clan respected the ninja called Yūro, a clan leader respected a person who was not as powerful as him. What does this mean? It means that other ninja clans are definitely involved in this matter."

Tohō listened to Shigeru's analysis and couldn't help but nod, with a look of agreement.

Another elite jounin looked at Shigeru and said, "If it's really another ninja clan that's intervening and was able to send two top elite jounin at once, the enemy's strength must not be underestimated!"

Shigeru also had a serious face and said, "Yes, this hidden enemy is very powerful!"

At this moment, the only remaining elite jounin said, "Then... Young Patriarch, although the Yuhi clan promised to become our vassal ninja clan, which will bring huge benefits to our Hagoromo clan, we have just experienced a war and the clan suffered great losses, if there is another war due to other ninja clans at this time, it is not profitable."

After all, the Yuhi clan is just a foreign clan in the final analysis. If helping the Yuhi clan is not proportional to the efforts of the Hagoromo clan, then the Hagoromo clan will definitely not choose to help the Yuhi clan.

Hearing this, Shigeru did not immediately respond, but lowered his head and pondered.

Ultimately, the Yuhi clan doesn't have much friendship with the Hagoromo clan.

Even Shigeru who comes from another world, his biggest impression of the Yuhi clan is just Yuhi Kurenai, the beautiful kunoichi.

Therefore, if helping the Yuhi clan would bring losses to the Hagoromo clan, then he definitely wouldn't do such a risky job.

So should he retire now?

!!

Shigeru suddenly remembered something, and then immediately raised his head and looked at everyone "Wait, the Yuhi clan is the first big ninja clan north of us!"

Hearing the young patriarch ask this question, Tohō nodded, "Yes."
