"Magnet Release: Magnetization Technique" allows the user to magnetize objects they touch.
It also allows the user to transfer magnetic force to other objects through things they have touched, using magnetism to attack enemies; this is a special ability of Magnet ReleaseNinjutsu.
It was precisely because of this ability that Toroi was able to defend in time, avoiding having his throat slit by Uchiha Kagami's blade.
The only thing Toroi regretted was that one-third of his ear had been obliterated into minced meat by the light of Uchiha Kagami's Chakra blade.
"Stop, quickly stop!" Leinei, the second son of the Daimyo, immediately panicked upon seeing Uchiha Kagami's breathtaking swordsmanship.
He hurriedly shouted to call off his KumogakureNinja guards, preventing further conflict between the UchihaNinja and the KumogakureNinja.
"It's all a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding!" Leinei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and anxiously pleaded, "It's all because of the Chinoike Clan that there was a misunderstanding between Lord Toroi of Kumogakure and Konoha. Both lords, please stop fighting; we can sit down and talk."
Leinei spoke softly and gently, causing the atmosphere at the scene to ease significantly.
This heir to the Land of Lightning's Daimyo was quite eloquent. "The KumogakureNinja who was just injured can receive more compensation from the additional mission budget. There is no life-or-death enmity between Kumogakure and the Uchiha. Everyone, please, please do not fight anymore!"
As a top noble of the Land of Lightning, Leinei did not want a large-scale conflict between the KumogakureNinja and the Konoha Ninja to occur in his residence.
His previous little maneuvers were just him hoping that the KumogakureNinja could exert more pressure on the Konoha Ninja.
Seeing that both sides were getting heated, he knew that if he didn't speak up now, the KumogakureNinja and the Konoha Ninja would likely erase his residence from the map.
He had naively believed that the UchihaNinja, being in the Land of Lightning, would be inclined to compromise with the various provocations from the KumogakureNinja.
He hadn't expected the UchihaNinja to be so arrogant, exceptionally fierce, and combative, completely unaware of what compromise meant.
This made it impossible to implement any of Leinei's previous little schemes.
For a noble of the Land of Lightning, "crazy" Ninja who are unwilling to compromise are the most headache-inducing clients.
With the noble of the Land of Lightning mediating, the UchihaNinja didn't react much, but the KumogakureNinja became calm.
After all, this conflict stemmed from the KumogakureNinja side, who had been the first to provoke the UchihaNinja.
Of course, this also fit the habits of the KumogakureNinja, who were accustomed to initiating trouble.
It was just unexpected that the UchihaNinja had absolutely no concerns and would not make any compromises.
They started with a zero-frame attack.
Then they drew their blades and struck.
The consequences were obvious: the KumogakureNinja Dongmuyi's thigh and lower body were injured, and the KumogakureNinja leader Toroi's ear was sliced off by the opponent.
In contrast, the Uchiha Clan had no casualties.
Toroi was incredibly conflicted, "Should we start a large-scale war with the UchihaNinja?"
To be honest, as the leader of this escort mission, Toroi didn't feel very confident.
With the conclusion of the Second Ninja World War, Konoha had defeated the Land of Wind and completely conquered the Land of Rain, causing the combat strength of the Konoha Ninja to be recognized by many major Ninja villages.
The current Konoha is recognized throughout the Ninja World as the number one combat group.
The KumogakureNinja are arrogant, but they are not stupid.
Facing the UchihaNinja of the Konoha noble clan, even though Toroi possessed the Magnet Release bloodline, he still didn't have absolute certainty that he could defeat them.
Seeing the conflict between the two sides easing, the client Leinei hurriedly offered both sides another "step" down.
"Both leaders, please calm your anger. The Chinoike Clan is watching like a tiger, so I beg both leaders, please do not start fighting amongst yourselves."
Leinei was all smiles, nodding at both sides while trying to coax and flatter them.
"Whether it's protecting our safety or further eradicating the rebellion of the Chinoike Clan, we all need to work together."
Toroi of Magnet Release was somewhat displeased, "It was the UchihaNinja who attacked first and injured our people severely. And as you saw, the opponent even ambushed me just now. This matter cannot just be let go."
Uchiha Kagami watched the ear that was still gushing blood and scoffed softly.
Looking down from a position of superiority, he tilted his head and glanced at Toroi again.
"You are Toroi of the Magnet Release from Kumogakure, right? You can try to continue fighting, or you can bet once more. Let's see if the main force of the Kumogakure village will come to save you before we kill all of the KumogakureNinja here?"
Along with Uchiha Kagami, more than a dozen pairs of cold, incomparably chilling Tomoe Sharingan looked at Toroi.
"You? You all? Are you trying to provoke a conflict between our two nations!" Toroi was so angry at Uchiha Kagami's words that his face turned bright red.
Yet, under the intimidation of the Sharingan, he regained some of his rationality.
The opponent's micro-expressions were all under Uchiha Kagami's careful observation. "Do not overestimate yourself, and do not underestimate the Uchiha."
Kagami scanned the group of KumogakureNinja from the Land of Lightning with disdain.
"You do not represent the Kumogakure village. If I kill you, it would merely mean the failure of this mission."
Uchiha Kagami gave Leinei a meaningful look, his tone carrying a distinct threat.
"At worst, we will just claim the Chinoike Clan launched an all-out attack and all of you were killed by the Ketsuryugan."
This single sentence made Leinei tremble all over.
"You? You!" This time it was Leinei's turn to be at a loss.
He never expected that the UchihaNinja would say such treasonous words right in front of him, the client.
It completely overturned his decades of experience as a noble dealing with Ninja missions.
A feeling of looking at a poisonous scorpion emerged in Leinei's heart.
"Bastard, these UchihaNinja are too crazy. If we offend them, they might really go on a reckless killing spree."
Leinei acted quickly, turning around to use all his effort to stop the KumogakureNinja, trying his best to avoid provoking another confrontation.
"Don't be impulsive, please don't be impulsive! The big picture is what matters."
Leinei tried hard to persuade the KumogakureNinja, but the UchihaNinja felt the scene before them was very strange and yet quite ridiculous.
"Usually everyone says that the KumogakureNinja have the hottest tempers, and often they are the ones who initiate provocations."
"I didn't expect that when facing the even stronger Uchiha, these KumogakureNinja would also become the objects of persuasion regarding the 'big picture'."
Especially Uchiha Kagami; as a "gentleman" and a "good guy" in the true sense, when he was alive, he worried and considered too much.
He considered Konoha, considered his clan, and even had to consider the feelings and opinions of others.
Unexpectedly, this time leading the mission, the words the clan leader had instructed him allowed him to truly experience the joy of becoming the "big picture" himself.
Uchiha Kagami sighed inwardly, "In the cruel Ninja World, you can be without anything, but you cannot be without the [ability to flip the table]."
He lightly flicked his long blade, shaking off the blood of Toroi that had just stained it. Uchiha Kagami wiped the blade with the inside of his elbow, and with a stylish spin, sheathed the sword.
Kagami crossed his arms and looked at the KumogakureNinja with pride.
"Tomorrow, we will head to Hell Valley. If I find any situation that interferes with the completion of our mission again, I will not listen to any of your excuses."
The KumogakureNinja gritted their teeth, but they still accepted the dissuasion of the noble client.
They carefully carried the injured Dongmuyi and returned to their station, dejected.
At this moment, Uchiha Fucheng was with Mikoto and Misaka Sisters 0070, riding the "Garuda" giant eagle flight to the Land of Lightning.
Garuda's flight speed was extremely fast; in just three hours, they approached the border between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Frost.
Just as 0070 was about to marvel at the mountainous terrain of the Land of Lightning, a massive Fire ReleaseNinjutsu came roaring from a distant hillside!
"We are under attack!"
