Under the leadership of The Rise of the Radiant Moon, Uchiha Ryo and the others visited all the interesting places around.
During this period, for some unknown reason, The Rise of the Radiant Moon tried to get Uchiha Ryo drunk with alcohol. Instead, he was drunk to the point of vomiting and clung to Ryo's leg, babbling a lot.
It seemed that he was saying that he really liked the fragile beauty of Uchiha Ryo, who was on the verge of breaking down. He asked Ryo if he could make a few cuts on his body so that he could fully appreciate that fragile beauty.
This made Ryo's hand tremble, spilling a lot of the wine in the cup.
In the end, The Rise of the Radiant Moon was knocked out by an angry Madara with a single slap and thrown out of the door. It was Uchiha Masaki who took pity on him. While muttering, "What a bunch of crazy people from the same bloodline," he picked The Rise of the Radiant Moon up, propped him against the door, and planned to wake him up to pay the bill after they finished eating and drinking.
The group seemed to be really here to tour the Land of Lightning. However, in this relaxed state, Madara seemed a bit impatient. In his opinion, this meaningless activity of wandering around was of no help to their goal at all. He thought it would be better to stay at the camp for cultivation.
In response, Uchiha Masaki just patted Madara on the shoulder with a solemn look and told him to relax, saying that Ryo had his own plans.
After his failed attempt to get Uchiha Ryo drunk, The Rise of the Radiant Moon became much better - behaved, but his attitude towards Ryo became even more enthusiastic. In Uchiha Masaki's words, "It's like a robber seeing a treasure, a chef seeing an ingredient, a lecher seeing a...".
Forget it, he didn't want to break his nose again.
Just when Madara's patience was almost worn out, the Hyuga clan finally showed up. No, it should be said that someone finally brought the Hyuga clan here.
The person leading the Hyuga clan ninjas didn't conceal his Malice at all. As soon as they met, he sharply said, "To be friends with ninjas, your Kagetsu clan really lives up to your low - class origins."
The Rise of the Radiant Moon's expression remained unchanged, but his voice turned a bit cold. "You're not as bold as the Yatsuki clan. You dare to hire just anyone."
"Humph, compared to us, your clan is even bolder, isn't it?" The young man, about the same age as The Rise of the Radiant Moon, unceremoniously sat down opposite them. "Colluding with a ninja clan from another country... Do you know where you are?"
The Rise of the Radiant Moon suddenly raised his voice. "Yatsuki Jigen! Stop spouting nonsense here!"
Yatsuki Jigen wasn't scared at all. Instead, he raised his voice to attract the attention of those around. "The Rise of the Radiant Moon, you should know that this is the Land of Lightning! But what are you doing now?
Colluding with a ninja clan from the Land of Fire. Don't spout that nonsense about being from the same family hundreds of years ago. As nobles of the Land of Lightning, you're committing an act of treason!"
"You—"
"Well... So, in the Land of Lightning, is it not allowed for distant relatives from other countries to visit one another?"
The calm voice instantly caught everyone's attention. Ryo, who had become the focus, still casually sipped his wine. "What a strict policy."
Yatsuki Jigen squinted at Uchiha Ryo and sneered, "I wondered who it was. Isn't this the famous Uchiha clan? It seems you've been doing quite well since you abandoned your motherland."
"You're joking. Our clan can't live up to such a grand reputation," Uchiha Ryo remained calm. "After all, if a country fails to protect its people and even turns against them, it can't expect their loyalty.
"Or do you simply enjoy living with a knife to your throat? If so, I apologize for my rudeness."
"I haven't seen the power of your Uchiha clan, but you sure are good with words. It doesn't matter. I actually appreciate people like you," Yatsuki Jigen laughed instead of getting angry, but his words were full of Malice. "I remember the last time you came to the Land of Lightning, you had a conflict with one of our ninja clans here, right?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This doesn't bode well. As the saying goes, better make up than stay enemies. Coincidentally, I've brought the people here today. I'll act as a peacemaker. How about you offer each other a Toast Offering and let this matter rest? What do you think, Kagetsu Valley?"
This time, before Uchiha Ryo could say a word, a Hyuga clan ninja who had been standing behind Yatsuki Jigen stepped forward, picked up a wine jug, and walked towards Uchiha Ryo. "Yeah, better make up than stay enemies. I'll offer you a Toast Offering first."
The Hyuga clan - well, it's a clan with a rather extreme differentiation in appearance. The higher the awakening level of their Kekkei Genkai, the better-looking they are...
It's also the Hyuga clan - here, have a look.
Uchiha Ryo's smile remained unchanged as he also reached for a wine jug. "A Toast Offering is okay, but forget about resolving the feud. I don't want to be friends with jackals and tigers."
"That's quite a compliment. By the way, I met a member of your clan when I got back from my last mission," Kagetsu Valley of the Hyuga clan didn't rush to clink glasses. His eyes were full of Malice as he sized up Uchiha Ryo. "That cyan - white skeletal ability was really powerful. Is it the hidden trump card of your Uchiha clan?"
"I see. Were you involved in Akihiko's matter?" Uchiha Ryo's smile faded a bit. "It seems coming to the Land of Lightning this time was really the right decision."
"That was really similar to our clan's Kekkei Genkai. Don't you agree?" Kagetsu Valley of the Hyuga clan raised his wine jug. "Could it be that you coveted our Kekkei Genkai and developed a mimic of it?"
"We Uchiha don't have the habit of constantly breaking our clan members' bones to awaken the Kekkei Genkai," Uchiha Ryo said with a faint smile as he also raised his wine jug. "Moreover, a Kekkei Genkai that's destined to bring about the Blood Inheritance Disease upon awakening isn't suitable for us."
Kagetsu Valley of the Hyuga clan narrowed his eyes, and his voice turned colder. "What a pity... Come, let me offer you a Toast Offering."
However, instead of clinking his wine jug with Uchiha Ryo's, he held it high above Uchiha Ryo's head and then turned it upside down.
The clear wine poured out from the spout, and the malicious voice followed. "Oops, sorry. My hand slipped."
