Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 59

boom--

From the direction of the Land of Whirlpools, an attack resembling a nuclear explosion appeared in mid-air: without a doubt, this was the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball!

"It was a truly brutal battlefield."

"But it's alright."

"I am only a low-ranking ninja, and can only witness the final battle of a strongman."

The shadow clone didn't dare get too close to avoid being discovered, but it could still sense the chakra fluctuations coming from ahead, a contest between Kage-level beings.

Meanwhile, within the territory of the Land of Whirlpools, witnessing the high morale of the opposing ninja, the Third Mizukage prepared to personally take action. However, he then heard a sensory ninja explain the appearance of the Jinchuriki, a powerful weapon.

At this moment, the Tailed Beast Ball was already aimed at him in the center of the fleet. If he dodged, the hundreds of Kirigakure ninjas maintaining the barrier and water-style support on the ship, as well as the ninjas on land, would all die.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive, without the ship, they would face a desperate pursuit by Konoha ninjas and the threat of total annihilation.

The Third Mizukage, standing on the deck, tried to use the terrain to his advantage to unleash his strongest Water Release technique to block Mito's half-finished Tailed Beast Ball; naturally, he failed.

However, it also successfully neutralized the explosive power of the Tailed Beast Ball.

At this moment, the Third Mizukage, who had been hit head-on by the Tailed Beast Ball, was no different from a rotting corpse, with only his last breath remaining.

*Crack, plop*

Unable to identify the original owner's flesh and blood, or the remains of the corpse, everywhere in sight—on trees, on land, on the coast—was blood red.

Mito Uzumaki remained hidden until the Third Mizukage of the fleet appeared, at which point she launched her attack with a Tailed Beast Ball: "It's over."

"Your water shadow is dead."

"Surrender quickly!"

shhhhh--

On the battlefield between the Uzumaki and Kirigakure ninjas, the Konoha and Uzumaki ninjas, having finished off the Kumogakure ninjas, came to provide support. At this moment, the Kirigakure ninjas could see that the cliffs and even the jungle ahead were filled with enemy ninjas.

—It's reminiscent of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist surrounding Guy's team.

"Damn it! Lord Mizukage!!"

The Third Mizukage was hit by a Tailed Beast Ball on the deck, along with a group of Kirigakure Kage who were guarding the Mizukage.

Meanwhile, Yagura Karatachi, who looked like a baby but was actually a young man, held the Third Mizukage, who was barely clinging to life: if it weren't for the water jutsu used by the Mizukage and the Shadow Guards to offset some of the damage, even the Hidden Mist ninjas on the sailboats on the shore and the side would have been seriously injured or killed.

"Ya-Yakura."

"Lord Mizukage! Please speak." Yagura Karatachi hadn't expected that the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki would participate in this plan. Moreover, although Kumogakure had promised the Raikage to participate, they had only sent a relatively unknown Jonin team: two Jonin, two Special Jonin, and over a hundred Kumogakure Chunin.

Almost the entire Kirigakure force was mobilized, consisting of over twenty Jonin and more than four hundred elite Chunin.

However, during the battle between the Hidden Mist ninja and the ninjas from Uzumaki and Konoha, many of their comrades were killed. Then, they were struck by Mito Uzumaki's Tailed Beast Ball, instantly killing the eight Jonin who were closest to them. At this point, the Hidden Mist ninja, along with five surviving Jonin, numbered less than two hundred.

"The village...I'm entrusting it to...you—"

The Third Mizukage made his final appearance, using his Water Release techniques to protect the remaining ships and the panicked Hidden Mist ninja.

"Damn it! You despicable Konoha ninjas! I, Yagura Karatachi, will remember this grudge! I will repay you severely next time we meet!!" Yagura Karatachi wiped away the tears on his face. Having received the succession of the Third Mizukage, he naturally took over the command of this battle: the Hidden Mist ninjas had gained nothing and were facing heavy losses.

"The entire army retreats!!"

Chapter 72 The Future Has Been Changed!

On the battlefield.

The Uzumaki clan members created a barrier around Mito Uzumaki to enhance her senses, which allowed her to evade the Hidden Mist Village's sensory attacks and also enabled her to prepare her Tailed Beast Ball attack in advance.

At this moment, Mito Uzumaki, having only used a single Tailed Beast Ball of the Six-Tails level, already looked exhausted, and her breathing became rapid.

"war."

"It's over."

Tread-tap-

"Thanks to the appearance of Lady Mito and the command of Jonin Shikayoshi, we were able to end this battle with such minimal losses."

After landing, Ryota Uzumaki said that upon observing Mito Uzumaki's exhausted appearance and witnessing the power of the Tailed Beast Ball, a greedy thought arose in his mind:

"Lord Mito, why don't we go inside the castle to rest for a while? The Cloud Village's invading forces have all been eliminated, and the castle is very safe now."

Mito Uzumaki glanced at Ryota Uzumaki: "No need."

"Yun Ye!"

shhhhh--

Hinata Kumoya's team prioritized protecting Mito, so when they heard Mito's voice while examining the corpses on the battlefield, they immediately abandoned their work and appeared in front of Mito.

"Lord Mito." Hyuga Kumo also looked warily at the Uzugakure ninja. Now that the enemy was dealt with, it was unknown whether the Uzugakure ninja would take the opportunity to attack Mito.

"Haha—don't worry. How could I possibly hurt Lady Mito?" Ryota Uzumaki said, scratching his head. "But it's late now, so it's time to rest."

Mito Uzumaki nodded slightly, somewhat disappointed, but said nothing. "Let's go, Yunye."

Hyuga Kumo nodded and gave instructions to the team behind him, telling the Konoha team to come over as soon as possible.

At the same time, both the Uzumaki ninja and the Konoha ninja were very excited, as it was truly rare for the two to be able to cooperate in a long-awaited battle.

Sadly, many of their own ninjas died in this battle.

A uniquely cool night breeze brushed against Ryota Uzumaki's face as he watched Mito leave through the woods.

Then, a young Jonin with long red hair came to the spot on the tree trunk, bowed, and said:

"Lord Chief!"

"Zha N Yi Xing Huan Wu Zha Chu Huan Qi Ke!"

Having just finished the combined attack of Kirigakure and Kumogakure, Uzumaki, feeling somewhat exhausted, blinked. He then looked around, his face pale and slender.

"I want......"

"..."

"never mind."

Ryota Uzumaki thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, nor was he confident. So he glanced at the corpses of the Hidden Mist ninja on the side of the battlefield:

"Have you gotten any news about my daughter?"

The vortex was sticky and swirling, like a swirling, swirling, swirling...

"Never mind. Let it go." Ryota Uzumaki felt a pang of sadness as the news his subordinate ninja had just reported—that his elderly father had died on the battlefield—flashed through his mind.

"starting today."

"You are the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan!"

"From today onwards, the Uzumaki clan shall be fully integrated into Konoha Village."

"What!" Ryota Uzumaki's words immediately stunned him.

Around two hundred Chunin-level Uzumaki ninja were dispatched to the battlefield... nearly one hundred died, and many of them were newcomers.

Even if the Land of Whirlpools were to send back the genin from the Land of Fire's borders, they wouldn't be able to defend their territory at this moment. And since the Hidden Cloud Village didn't send a large force this time, if they were to attack again, would the Hidden Leaf Village be able to provide such support?

A ninja's growth takes time, and the greatest strength of the great ninja villages lies in their ability to crush you when you are talented but weak.

"I want to start an organization."

"An organization that seeks to find my daughter and avenge the hatred I feel towards the Hidden Mist Ninja."

Ryota Uzumaki's interest in Mito Uzumaki's Nine-Tails stemmed from his hope that a powerful ninja would emerge from the Land of Whirlpools to guard the country.

Only in this way can the Land of Whirlpools truly achieve peace.

But he couldn't bring himself to do something so heinous!

"Then I want to go with you! Chief Ryota!" (Swirl lamp)

Ryota Uzumaki shook his head: "The ninjas in the clan and village all need a high-level Jonin to keep their voices down, so I can't take you with me."

"In the future, I hope to hear of a powerful ninja from the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Fire becoming famous throughout the ninja world."

"This is your way of repaying me!"

"Ryota..."

"铡D阌Ω妹達滓桓鍪ヅ欢嗑谩⒂质ジ盖椎哪腥诵那榃伞！"

Ryota Uzumaki turned around, his tone serious:

"While protecting the Uzumaki clan, do not fail the dying wish of Jonin Seiichiro. Help him protect the Tsuchiya clan members, and do not forget the help the Mizuhara clan gave to our Uzumaki clan..."

The entire conversation between the two was captured by Hyuga Kumoya's Byakugan. He repeated the content to another Konoha ninja in the intelligence squad through his mouth movements, and the Konoha Chunin in front of him analyzed the lip movements and wrote them down one by one.

After the two separated, Hyuga Kumo nodded slightly, and the Chunin stopped recording.

Next, Hyuga Kumo picked up the white paper from the Chunin in front of him and examined its contents.

After reading it, Hinata Kumoya leaned against the tree trunk, his clothes slightly damp, and slowly let out a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately."

"The leader of the Uzushiogakure has no ulterior motives, otherwise things would be terrible."

This time, Konoha's border troops were basically dispatched, leaving less than a hundred ninjas on the border, which was a huge risk. As for the Konoha ninjas within the Land of Whirlpools, including the remaining members of his guard, there were only about seventy left, with about fifty killed in battle.

Meanwhile, Shirahoshi's first squad had already taken advantage of the daytime to cooperate with the Konoha team in covering the first batch of Uzumaki clan children as they headed towards Konoha Village.

After watching the battle from a great distance, the shadow clone disappeared. Shirahoshi, who was camped on the outskirts of the border town, digested the shadow clone's memories and sighed inwardly that the battle between strong Kage-level beings was truly unreasonable. They started with energy bombardment, without any skill involved. It was really terrifying!

Fortunately, he also had cheat codes, otherwise he would have been used as cannon fodder by this group of cheaters.

-

Time flew by, and the temporary relocation plan of the Land of Whirlpools turned into integration into the Land of Fire.

After stepping down as clan leader, Ryota Uzumaki personally led one Jonin, two Special Jonin, and five Chunin from his clan to travel throughout the ninja world in search of Kushina and several missing Uzumaki clan members. At the same time, he went to the Gold Exchange to specifically accept bounty missions related to Kirigakure ninjas.

And they will represent the history of the Uzumaki Ninja.

The mark was a line drawn on the headband of a rogue ninja.

The destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was perhaps destined. It possessed a great deal of treasure coveted by many ninjas, yet lacked the power to protect it. Therefore, it could only rely on the strong for survival.
