Hell Valley, the deepest part of the Blood Pond Clan.
Over twenty corpses lay on the ground in front of a newly erected tombstone. Uchiha En hesitated for a moment, then temporarily handed his daughter to Yekura to hold. Afterwards, he raised his sword and chopped off the heads of these corpses, placing them before the grave to pay respects to his deceased wife.
Well, the only special thing is that their Blood Dragon Eyes have all been gouged out.
As long as those corpses are dealt with within twenty-four hours, the chakra that can drive the Blood Dragon Eyes can be extracted to create human puppets that can inherit the bloodline.
Shimizu watched this scene silently with his arms crossed.
Besides Yekura, Maki, and Sata, there were also more than sixty Blood Pond Clan members, both old and young, accompanying him.
Uchiha Yo and the Blood Pond Clan elders, along with their closest confidants, had all been wiped out. The remaining people were as quiet as cicadas in winter, gathered around the grave mound, watching the heads placed on it.
Before today, the entire Blood Pond Clan had fewer than one hundred members. Among them, only thirty or so had awakened their eyes, and only seven or eight were at least at the level of Special Jonin.
Now that these elders were all dead, along with their families and confidants, the strongest among the remaining people was only a Chunin. No one had the ability to resist Uchiha En.
Not to mention the even stronger power standing behind Uchiha En at this moment.
"Very well. Since there are no objections, then I will announce a directive for all clan members. From this moment on, pack up your belongings. The weight each person carries must not affect movement. Within one hour, evacuate Hell Valley. We are going to the Hidden Sand Village."
Uchiha En said to each clan member with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he didn't really care about these clan members.
His only bond with the clan was his wife, and now, after his wife's death, only his daughter remained.
In his mind, even if the entire clan was wiped out, it wouldn't be enough to bury his wife with all those elders.
That's what he thought at first.
However, even though his eye power had been elevated to a level not weaker than Uchiha Yo's, it wouldn't be easy to destroy the entire Blood Pond Clan alone.
He had initially planned to transfer his daughter out first, then break through from the inside, steal the clan's assets, hire bounty ninjas from the outside bounty exchange, and cooperate with himself to assassinate a few of the stronger elders like Uchiha Yo before destroying the clan. However, Shimizu's appearance changed his mind.
These people were stronger, so strong that they could easily destroy the Blood Pond Clan, but they had a clear purpose: to annex the Blood Pond Clan.
Shimizu and the others had already revealed their purpose and strength at the time.
They definitely wanted to bring the Blood Dragon Eye's bloodline limit to the Hidden Sand Village. If they didn't choose him, who else could they choose?
Putting himself in their shoes, Uchiha En asked himself, if he obtained this bloodline limit, he would definitely not leave it to other ninja villages.
So, if he didn't go with them, what would be the final outcome?
To protect himself and his daughter, what should he do, and how could he do it well? It was very clear.
So Uchiha En changed his goal, only punishing the ringleaders, and then becoming the new clan leader of the Blood Pond Clan, leading the clan to join the Hidden Sand Village.
He still had his daughter.
If possible, he naturally hoped that his daughter could have a bright future, and also secure a future for himself.
Then, why not sell himself, sell the entire Blood Pond Clan to the Hidden Sand Village in exchange for this future? Within the ninja class, being a ninja of the Five Great Ninja Villages is the most comfortable and the easiest to succeed. These are also the five largest backers in the ninja world.
Among these five top ninja world powers, Konoha and Sunagakure are currently in the first echelon.
This is the best choice, and the only choice.
"Let's go quickly, there isn't much time left."
Shimizu suddenly turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the valley.
"You should have a secret escape route here, right? Let's go quickly. The Cloud Ninja are here. Yekura, you lead the team next and bring as many people back to the village as possible. I'll hold them back."
Shimizu's expression was relaxed, but he was somewhat cautious inside.
Who sent these two?
In the next instant, Shimizu's figure disappeared from the spot.
Yekura solemnly handed the baby in her arms to Uchiha En.
"Clan Leader En, please hurry."
"I understand, follow me."
Uchiha En did not dare to be negligent and quickly set off.
Maki and Sata exchanged a glance, both understanding that the invading enemy was not simple.
They were very clear about Shimizu's strength.
Below the Kage level, they could easily resolve the situation with their lineup.
Shimizu taking the initiative to block them meant that the opponent's strength had reached a very high level.
At least, he didn't have the confidence to allow dozens of people to easily evacuate smoothly with the enemy present.
It was likely a top ninja world powerhouse at the level of the Five Kage.
Otherwise, Shimizu wouldn't think that they didn't even have the ability to intervene.
When Yekura and the others began to move, a huge sound occurred outside their range of nearly a thousand meters, confirming their guess.
Someone who could cause such a commotion was definitely not a conventional enemy!
However, they weren't too worried, after all, they had already witnessed Shimizu using the Flying Thunder God Technique in Kusagakure.
With this ninjutsu, given Shimizu's strength, as long as he was careful enough, he could almost always retreat safely under any circumstances.
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder exploded. Shimizu stood in place, holding his ninja sword, watching the brute he had sent flying with one strike.
This guy… is he the future Fourth Raikage?
No wonder he's so strong and so fast. My sword actually failed to injure him.
But if it's just him, it would be easy to deal with. The real trouble is the other one.
"Hmm…"
Someone who was half a head taller than the Fourth Raikage, with blonde hair like a lion king, stepped steadily in front of the Fourth Raikage.
"I'll take care of this guy. You find an opportunity to break through and look for the people of the Blood Pond Clan."
The Third Raikage stared at Shimizu with his tiger-like eyes, speaking to his son behind him.
"No need to look for them, they are now people of the Hidden Sand Village."
Shimizu shook his head. A summoning scroll slid out from his left sleeve, summoning three puppets behind him.
"Hidden Sand Village, puppeteer, Particle Style, swordsmanship, you must be Chiyo and Ebizo's remarkable disciple. Leave now and leave the people of the Blood Pond Clan behind, and I can let you leave."
The Third Raikage extended one hand, speaking to Shimizu.
