Chapter 248: Still have to rely on fists to speak
A kid who is less than a third of his age pointed a blade at his head in public.
Even Yuki Hiro, the patriarch of the Yuki Clan and a man of considerable sophistication, was blushing at this moment.
"You are not made of clay. Do you think our Yuki Clan is easy to bully?"
"Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little fame?!"
As Yuki Hiro finished speaking, dozens of ninjas from the Yuki Clan immediately appeared and gathered behind Yuki Hiro.
This area was originally the base of the Yuki Clan's front-line camp, and they instantly gained the upper hand in numbers.
All the members of the Yuki Clan stared unkindly at Kaito and the dozen or so members of the second squad present.
"Oh"
Kaito's eyes showed mockery.
But this time, there is no time to wait for Kaito to take any follow-up action.
A figure instantly appeared in front of the crowd of onlookers.
It was Hoshigaki Kisame who rushed over after hearing the news.
When Kisame arrived, he just glanced at the situation on the field. Without asking the reason or saying anything, he just nodded to Kaito, walked straight behind him, turned around and confronted the people of the Yuki Clan with him.
Biwa Juzo and Isaburo (code name Harpoon), who had come with Kisame to join in the fun, grinned, revealing their fangs, and also stood behind Kaito in a swaggering manner.
The actions of these three ninja swordsmen seemed to have triggered some kind of switch.
From the crowd of onlookers, ninjas stepped out one after another and stood silently behind the second squad.
Among them were the wounded who had been rescued by Kaito on the battlefield.
There are combat units that have been protected and supported by the flying Ninjas.
There are also ordinary ninjas who simply admire Kaito because of his long-standing achievements.
There are many reasons, but they all choose to gather behind Kaito.
Even the Anbu who had previously spoken out to stop Kaito was pulled to the back of the crowd by his male companions.
In a flash, the number of people gathered behind Kaito had far exceeded that of the Yuki Clan's ninjas, and their quality was far superior to theirs.
Look at the two people confronting each other in the field at this time.
Kaito gave a smile that came from the bottom of his heart and looked at Yuki Hiro provocatively.
However, Yuki Hiro's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He said nothing and no one knew what he was thinking.
Fortunately, Ao's arrival at this time eased Yuki Hiro's embarrassment.
Including Kaito's men who directly broke into the camp and landed, more and more ninjas gathered here to watch.
With such a big commotion, it is impossible for Ao, as the current highest commander on the front line, not to come and check the situation.
Also coming with him was the Leader of the Flying Unit Harusame, who was ordered to assist Ao in commanding the front line.
After Ao arrived, he first glared at Kaito, and then asked in a dignified tone as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on here? This is a front-line camp! It's wartime! Why are so many people gathered here?"
Seeing Ao coming, Kaito lowered the short sword slightly, but still did not put it back into the scabbard. He just curled his lips in the direction of Yuki Hiro and spoke.
"The Yuki Clan hired ninjas from other villages to attack me. The captain of the fourth squad of the Flying Unit also transferred the patrol troops to create an opportunity for the attack."
As soon as Kaito finished speaking, Yuki Hiro immediately refuted.
"What nonsense!"
In fact, Yuki Hiro felt a bit trapped at this time.
Originally, offering a reward for Kaito was basically not dangerous for the entire Yuki Clan.
If Kaito had died outside, not only would the plaintiff be gone, but even if the others eventually found some clues, no one would make things too difficult for the Yuki Clan because of a dead genius.
At worst, he would just have to give up a small amount of profit. This loss was insignificant compared to the appearance of a second Ice Style Clan in the Kirigakure Village.
In order to ensure the success rate of the bounty, the Yuki Clan also provided a lot of information about Kaito for free.
To take a step back, even if he really failed to kill Kaito, his clan would only offer a reward and would basically not expose themselves. At most, it would just make Kaito a little suspicious.
As long as there is enough time, the Yuki Clan is not unable to eliminate the hidden dangers brought about by this, and can even continue to provide money and manpower to assassinate Kaito.
However, who would have thought that Yuki Rin, this good-for-nothing, not only had extremely rough methods of transferring his subordinates, but he himself was also directly captured by Kaito.
Moreover, Kaito was so direct that he dared to come directly to the front-line camp based on mere suspicion and speculation.
Yuki Hiro didn't want to argue with Kaito about who was right or wrong at all.
In any case, the Yuki Clan lost all face today, and he just wanted to calm things down as soon as possible.
And at this moment.
The only thing Yuki Hiro could hope for was that Ao, the highest commander on the front line and the sensei of that bastard Kaito, would temporarily suppress this matter out of concern for the influence of the Yuki clan in the Kirigakure Village.
"Ao-sama, the accusations made by the jonin Mirukawa before were completely nonsense. Now that things have gotten to this point, if another village attacks the camp, it could lead to a disaster."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the Third Mizukage-sama and the village leaders by then, right?"
When the educated youth heard Yuki Hiro's words, his expression did not change at all, as if he was asking, "What are you talking about?"
Then he turned to look at Harusame who had been waiting beside him.
"Captain Harusame, what do you think? Whether it's Kaito or Yuki Rin, they are all subordinates of your Flying Unit. Now that such a big commotion has occurred, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Harusame didn't expect that Ao would just throw the matter to him like this. After coughing twice, he said indifferently.
"Although both parties hold different opinions, those who gather to cause trouble in the camp must be punished. I suggest..."
Although Yuki Hiro's expression did not change when he heard this, he was delighted in his heart.
There is no evidence that the clan hired someone to assassinate Kaito, but this kid broke into the camp and openly caused trouble, and so many people were watching.
'As long as we can get away with it today.'
But Ao interrupted Harusame's next words and said to Kaito.
"Did you hear that? Leader Harusame said that no trouble could be caused in the front-line camp. Solve your personal problems outside the camp."
After thinking about it for a while, Ao added a sentence.
"After all, a ninja must speak with his fists!"
Harusame looked at Ao speechlessly.
In fact, he meant almost the same thing, so there was no need for Ao to interrupt him so hastily.
However, although the two have been working together for several months, Kaito has basically not been in the front-line camp during these months.
It is understandable that Ao does not understand Harusame's attitude towards Kaito.
And the other side.
After listening to Ao and Harusame singing in unison, Kaito gave Yuki Hiro a bright smile.
