The Uzumaki Country and the Uzumaki Clan have been the strongest allies of the Fire Country and Konoha since ancient times.
This friendship has been established since the days of one country and one village.
Even the Jounin costumes of Konoha are printed with the symbol of the Uzumaki clan, which represents the everlasting alliance between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan.
And when the Uzumaki clan is in danger, they can also rely on the power of Konoha to protect the clan.
So in Tsunade's opinion, since they were still alive after losing their country, they should have come to seek refuge in Konoha.
but……
"Why are the Uzumaki clan members hostile to Konoha?"
This was something Tsunade couldn't understand.
And Tsunade's words seemed to bring back not-so-good memories for Xiao Xianglan.
She lowered her head and said, "The so-called covenant you talk about was torn apart by your own hands a long time ago."
"Obviously, a distress signal had been sent, but they only took one person away."
Even a child as young as Uzumaki Karin knows what happened back then, and he also understands the sadness of being weak.
The alliance drawn up by the Uzumaki clan and Konoha has long been immersed in the long river of history, and it pales in comparison to the reality of the annihilation of the clan and the country.
"How is that possible? Isn't that an accident?"
Tsunade frowned, suddenly thinking of something, her face changed slightly, and she looked at Menma solemnly: "Is this guy bewitching and deceiving you?"
"Konoha has always been grateful to the Uzumaki clan."
The jinchuriki's sealing skills were extradited from the Uzumaki clan.
Most sealing techniques in Konoha are also taught by the Uzumaki clan.
Grandma Mito, like her grandfather, has loved her since childhood, and the "Yin Seal" was also completed under the guidance of Grandma Mito.
"It is what it is."
"The Uzumaki Country where our Uzumaki clan is located is a neighboring country of the Fire Country. Compared with other countries and ninja villages, the Fire Country and Konoha are the places closest to the Uzumaki Country."
Xiao Xianglan said with an angry tone: "However, we persisted for several days, and the distress signal sent to Konoha seemed to have fallen into the sea."
"The Uzumaki clan was exterminated under Konoha's nose, and a large number of sealing techniques documents were robbed by outsiders."
Most of the existing sealing techniques in Konoha, including the sealing ninjutsu of tailed beasts, all come from the Uzumaki clan.
The only one left was Uzumaki Kushina, who was picked up by Konoha and became the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
The remaining Uzumaki clan members no longer trust Konoha. They can only bear the hatred of the subjugation of their country and the annihilation of their clan. They live a precarious life in anonymity, constantly wandering and escaping in the ninja world.
This is a pain point that every Uzumaki clan member cannot erase.
Naturally, they knew very well what role Konoha played in it.
For Xiang Phosphorus, who has lived in the country of grass since childhood, these are all pains that have been experienced personally.
"The Kingdom of Uzumaki was destroyed, and everyone in the Uzumaki clan has been wandering around the Ninja world for more than ten years, hiding like mice in the dark corners of the Ninja world..." After a pause, Xiang Ling let out a sigh of relief: "It was the teacher who brought us Saved from pain, not the so-called Konoha and allies."
Menma touched Xiao Xianglan's head and sighed: "The Uzumaki clan, which was once extremely prosperous and a single clan became a nation, is now in such a state that I need to help. It is really sad and ironic."
"I wonder what kind of complex expressions those dead Uzumaki ancestors, or the first Hokage Izumi Yuchi, would show. I really want to see them."
If the leader of the Uzumaki clan knew that his family was in trouble, Konoha, as an ally, would not provide any assistance.
I wonder if he will crawl out of the grave and angrily point at Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose and curse.
"It doesn't matter, the Kingdom of Whirlpool has long since disappeared in the war."
Xiao Xianglan shook his head: "Our country is gone anyway. We only have a few dead lives now. What else do we have to lose?"
Fortunately, after the storm comes the rainbow, many things have been put aside, and she is no longer as naive as before.
This is the way the world is.
"this……"
Tsunade's mind was in chaos.
Although the two people's tone of voice was just a dull narrative, it seemed more ironic to her ears.
Perhaps as the two said, the Uzumaki clan has asked Konoha for help.
The Country of Whirlpool is a neighboring country of the Country of Fire. Even if the Uzumaki Clan is invaded by an enemy, Konoha, as a neighbor, will have enough time to support the Uzumaki Clan after receiving the news.
But if it's the old man...
Realizing this, Tsunade couldn't help clenching her fists.
After a while, he took a deep breath and suppressed the gloom in his heart.
She looked at Menma again and said with a serious expression: "...So, what is your purpose and conspiracy in saving the remnants of the Uzumaki clan?"
"Or maybe you are a member of the Uzumaki clan, and you are taking revenge on Konoha because of your hatred?"
Regarding the Uzumaki clan, Konoha was indeed sorry for them, so she didn't argue anything.
What was the truth behind the original destruction of the Whirlpool Kingdom? She would ask the old man to find out after she returns.
But judging from the brief encounter just now, the man in front of her was really dangerous, and even she would be killed directly.
To fight against this guy from Tianzhi Yuzhong, you must pay 120% of your attention and cannot relax for a moment.
Moreover, the other party saved the Uzumaki clan, but kept silent in the dark. Tsunade did not believe that he had no agenda.
"The people of the Uzumaki clan left me. I can only say that it was their own choice. I never forced them to join."
Menma said calmly: "Besides, you must think highly of yourself and Konoha. The so-called hatred is nothing more than a thing as small as dust in the face of the general situation."
"If one day I decide to destroy Konoha, it will only prove that the era dominated by the five major powers is over. The new era cannot allow the stubborn forces headed by Konoha to continue to exist."
"That is to say..."
After a pause, Menma raised his eyes slightly: "Killing you has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Tsunade's vagina trembled slightly.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she couldn't refute, let alone say anything harsh.
This guy from Tianzhi Yuzhong never paid attention to them from the beginning to the end!
Attack Konoha? Hate Konoha?
No, it was just because Konoha stood in front of him.
Just like sweeping away the dust on the ground, sweep their dregs into the trash can.
For a moment, the scene became eerily silent.
"Instead of dwelling on such boring and childish questions, why not pray that you won't meet me on the battlefield? You won't be so lucky next time."
After that, Menma ignored Tsunade, raised his head and said to the living dragon: "Living dragon, can you take me to visit the wet bone forest and answer my questions by the way?"
Menma is very curious about the holy land that has existed for thousands of years.
This may provide him with some inspiration and experience for establishing the "Fourth Holy Land" in the future.
"Okay, please come with me."
The living slug agreed without hesitation, and a human-sized slug split from its huge body. It walked in front and began to lead the way for Menma.
"Good luck, Tsunade-hime."
After speaking meaningfully, Menma pulled Xiao Xianglan and left with the clone of the living snake.
Looking at his leaving figure, Tsunade was silent for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath and her face gradually returned to calmness.
Immediately, he also raised his head and looked at the huge live dragon.
"Damn it, I need you to help me find the scroll that grandpa left here."
………………
"Tousang, is that guy named Beilihu here?"
"Well, if my information is not wrong."
At the foot of a huge mountain range, Hidan and Kabuto Yakushi, who were carrying the Bloody Mitsuki Scythe, looked up at the top of the mountain.
The place above was shrouded in thick black fog, and it didn't look like a place suitable for human habitation.
But according to the information Kabuto Yakushi received from Orochimaru, the S-class defector ninja named Beiruhu was here.
"I've never heard of that guy's name."
Hidan scratched his head and asked, "Can he really become our companion?"
"It's not good to look down on people too much, Hidan-san."
The pharmacist Kabuto smiled and said: "Beilihu and Orochimaru are from the same period, but his talent and qualifications are the most mediocre among them, so he can only develop a forbidden technique that can plunder other people's blood inheritance in an attempt to improve himself. own power.”
"It was only later that he was accidentally discovered by the Third Hokage, and he escaped from Konoha."
Hidan raised his eyebrows and said in a surprised tone: "A forbidden technique that robs other people's blood inheritance?"
"Ah, maybe it's because I'm not willing to settle for mediocrity, so I want to rely on forbidden magic to change my destiny."
Kabuto Yakushi said casually: "I think his forbidden arts have great potential for development. His forbidden arts should have achieved success now."
In a way, Orochimaru and Beiruhu are the same kind of people.
It's just that compared to Beiruhu, who has mediocre qualifications and is often ignored, Orochimaru has extremely high talent in ninjutsu.
Later, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were selected by the Third Hokage and became his direct disciples.
And Beilihu, a good friend who had a close relationship with Orochimaru and the others in school, eventually drifted away from them.
However, even Orochimaru, who was extremely talented, gradually realized the insurmountable gap between blood-stained ninjas and non-blood-stained ninjas.
So after he defected to Konoha, he had some cooperative relations with the "crane tail" Beiruhu who he once looked down upon.
This is also the reason why Yakushi Kabuto was able to learn the information about Beiruhu.
However, Orochimaru has never had a high opinion of Beiruhu, and he doesn't care much about the so-called "Kiyaku no Jutsu".
Maybe in Orochimaru's mind, Beiruhu will always be lower than him, a little person who is far behind him.
But Yakushi Kabuto knew very well that Orochimaru had underestimated Beiruhu's talent.
Beiruhu may not really have the talent to become a ninja, but he is definitely a scientific research genius who is not inferior to Orochimaru.
Like Orochimaru, he just lacks a broad vision.
"The forbidden technique of plundering blood stains sounds really scary."
Hidan licked his lips and asked excitedly: "Tousou-san, do you want his forbidden technique? I can get it for you!"
Yakushi Kabuto retracted his thoughts and shook his head slightly: "That technique is probably just a semi-finished product. Its fusion is really rough."
"It may be possible to achieve the purpose of plundering blood stains, but it will only accumulate the number of blood inheritance limits."
If you are good at one thing, you will be good at everything; if you fail to achieve anything, you will not achieve anything.
Even a ninja with a kind of blood inheritance limit may not be able to develop it to the extreme in his lifetime.
If you encounter an unusually powerful enemy, having ten blood inheritance limits will not help.
"What's more, the human body and will also have limits. I can't think of how to solve this problem."
After a pause, Kabuto Yakushi chuckled again: "But, with Kakuzu-senpai's body and will, he may be able to bear that kind of burden."
It is undeniable that the "Oni Yaluo Technique" created by Beilihu is indeed a genius idea.
The most magical thing about "Kiyara no Jutsu" is that it can integrate the blood inheritance boundary.
But the rejection reaction of the human body is not that simple.
"Onigaura no Jutsu" is so overbearing during the fusion process that the user's body often has to bear an unusual burden.
If the body is not modified, in theory, no human body can withstand the burden of the "Onigaura no Jutsu".
However, Kakuzu is not considered human now...
Kabuto Yakushi was curious about what changes would result from the combination of "Earth Resentment Yu" and "Oni Meiluo's Technique".
"In that case." Hidan put down the three-month scythe on his shoulder and grinned, "I can do whatever I want, right? As long as I don't beat him to death."
But as he spoke.
boom!
A huge fireball struck from a distance, emitting extremely terrifying heat.
It hit Hidan directly, causing him to scream in pain.
"Ah! Bastard! If you dare to sneak up on me, I will kill you and sacrifice you to the evil god!"
Most of Hidan's body was eroded by the heat, making a sizzling sound like grilled meat.
"Oh? Is this the Burning Escape? It seems that Bi Liuhu's research on the forbidden technique was successful!"
Kabuto Yakushi blinked, but had no intention of taking action.
He knew the name of this jutsu.
——Zhuo escape·over-steaming.
This is a technique that directly evaporates water. If an ordinary person is hit, he will definitely die. He will probably turn into a mummy and die.
But Hidan was obviously no ordinary ninja.
Under the care of "Lord Evil God", he just screamed in pain, and his body only showed signs of dehydration.
At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from a distance.
The pharmacist Douxun turned his head and looked in the distance.
I saw a white-haired boy wearing a white turtleneck and a white bandage on his face walking slowly down the mountain path.
"Long time no see, Lord Beiliuhu."
Looking at those cold red eyes, Kabuto Yakushi stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, and said with a familiar smile: "Congratulations on the successful development of the Onigaura Technique."
Beiruhu and Orochimaru were born at the same time, and both were around forty years old.
But Beiliuhu, who was standing in front of him now, looked like a teenager.
Then, there is only one reason that can explain it.
——The side effects of "Onigaura no Jutsu".
However, with a body like this, it would probably be more difficult to withstand the pressure of forbidden arts.
"Are you... the kid following Orochimaru?"
Bei Liuhu frowned and said in a wary tone: "Where's Orochimaru, why are you alone and accompanied by a noisy idiot who speaks arrogantly?"
"You bastard! I..."
Kabuto Yakushi stretched out his arm to stop the furious Hidan.
He immediately looked at Beiruhu and said in a gentle tone: "Lord Orochimaru, he has been killed."
