Chapter 336: Chapter 336: A Nuisance, Not a Threat



Before Takuya could even finish speaking, Fugaku arrived at the hilltop with the rest of the Uchiha:

"Takuya, it's a supply ship from the Mist Village. There are a lot of enemies aboard—at least a hundred of them-and their chakra feels... strange."

"A hundred?"

Was Yagura just sending these men to their deaths?

Takuya narrowed his eyes, sensing that something was off. Yagura knew Takuya was stationed here, and he wouldn't send people just to be slaughtered. So what was his game?

Did Yagura really think sending a hundred shinobi would be enough to take him down?

"Let's go take a look."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Instead of wasting time guessing, Takuya decided it was better to see for himself. They'd be facing off eventually, so why wait?

The Uchiha gathered quickly, and within minutes, around forty of them were following Takuya toward the shoreline.

Before long, they reached the coastline. As they drew closer, Fugaku noticed the markings on the ships and his expression grew grim.

"It's the Kaguya Clan! Those maniacs!"

The Uchiha had a reputation for being ruthless and relentless in battle-traits that earned them the nickname of "crazies" from other clans. But for even the Uchiha to call the Kaguya "maniacs"... it said a lot.

Unlike the Uchiha, who were just battle-hardened, the Kaguya were legitimately insane.

"The Kaguya Clan, huh? This might be interesting."

Takuya wasn't particularly concerned. Instead, he laughed, easing the tension.

"Didn't expect Yagura to send those boneheads over."

"Boneheads?"

Some of the Uchiha gave Takuya puzzled looks, but after a moment, they understood and a few chuckled. The Kaguya Clan's bizarre fighting style-using their own bones as weapons- made the nickname fitting.

"That's about right for those lunatics," someone remarked.

"They literally fight with their own bones. If that doesn't make them boneheads, I don't know what does."

"Hahaha..."

The laughter spread, breaking the tension. Even Fugaku, usually stoic, found himself at a loss for how to react.

Fugaku believed that situations like this called for serious focus, but Takuya, standing on the edge of a major battle, was cracking jokes about their opponents.

As the Mist Village's transport ships approached, Takuya turned to Fugaku, recalling something about the Kaguya Clan's history.

"The Kaguya Clan leader had some history with the Uchiha, didn't he?"

Ever since the Senju faded, the Hyuga had seen themselves as the Uchiha's rivals, thinking they could take the Senju's place. The two clans had never gotten along well.

Hearing Takuya's comment, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't say things like that," Mikoto said softly, her cheeks flushed. She found it funny too,

but she tugged on Takuya's sleeve, reminding him:

"If those words get out and the Hyuga hear them, you'll be in trouble."

"Looks like a big shot's arrived," Takuya said, nodding toward the ships.

A large figure jumped off one of the boats-a towering man over two meters tall. He was broad and muscular, with a face covered in harsh lines. Coupled with the Kaguya's bizarre

hairstyle and outfit...

"Pfft..."

Someone couldn't hold back a laugh.

The Kaguya had already noticed Takuya and the others.

The massive figure was the head of the Kaguya Clan-Kaguya Hōmei.

With the Mist Village at war with Konoha, there was no way the Kaguya would sit on the sidelines. But Yagura had been hesitant to deploy them-they were madmen, just as likely to

kill allies as enemies.

They were walking time bombs.

That's why Yagura had taken his time mobilizing them and sent them to the Land of Bears to

deal with Takuya.

So, Yagami Takuya thought he was hot stuff?

Fine, Yagura would throw a bunch of maniacs at him. They might not win, but they'd

definitely disgust him.

Like a toad sitting on your foot-it doesn't bite, but it sure is gross.

"???"

The Kaguya had expected tension with the Uchiha, but instead, the Uchiha were... laughing?

What was going on?
