Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

"Whoosh!"

In less than a second.

This pressure, seemingly converging from all directions, instantly blasted the two grass ninja away.

"what!?"

"Well!?"

The two were powerless to resist.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

They were each sent flying backwards to one side, crashing heavily into the wall behind them. The impact caused both of them to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

Looking at the two Grass Ninjas lying completely collapsed on the ground on either side, Shoji merely snorted coldly and stepped forward again. It was only because he was inside the Grass Village that he was not alone and needed to restrain himself somewhat. The Grass Ninjas he had killed before were those who were on opposing sides of the mission, and from a strategic point of view, there was no problem at all. Uryu and even the Grass Village would not make a fuss about it. But it was different here. If Shoji openly killed these two Grass Ninjas, it would be equivalent to completely breaking off relations with them.

If you don't even give them a way out, you're forcing them to fight you to the death. Even if they're unwilling, Pu Lu can only lead a large number of grass ninja to surround and kill Jiang Si. Of course, Jiang Si doesn't need to be afraid, but that only applies when he's alone.

Now, not only are he carrying Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara, but the Karin and her daughter he is about to take away are also completely defenseless. If he is not careful, he could easily put them in danger.

This is certainly not what the general wishes.

Not to mention that even if the safety of these people could be ensured, it would be a loss to expend a lot of pupil power here. After considering these pros and cons, Jiang Si could only restrain his emotions.

This is also the most reasonable judgment.

Having vented some of his anger, Jiang Si readjusted his mindset, a smile returning to his lips. As Jiang Si approached the somewhat dilapidated house, he gently opened the door.

The people inside had clearly been awakened by the commotion outside, and the doors were opened almost immediately.

What came into Jiang Si's view was an intelligent woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She had the same fiery red hair and the same deep red eyes. The difference was that this woman's skin was noticeably pale and sickly, and her weak breathing was enough to prove that the young woman in front of him had an extremely serious health problem.

The little girl named Karin, whom Shoji had previously discovered, was now tightly clutching the woman's clothes. Her face showed timidity, but she still stood beside her mother with a determined look, watching Shoji.

This red-haired woman is Karin's mother, named Rena Uzumaki. Unlike Karin, Rena is well aware that she comes from the Uzumaki clan.

Like some of the Uzumaki clan survivors who were lucky enough to survive the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, she fled the Land of Whirlpools with her parents when she was still very young. Later, her parents died in an accident.

Rena was on the verge of not surviving when she was discovered by Uryu, who had only been the leader of Kusagakure for a few years. Uryu took her back to Kusagakure and thought she could finally have a peaceful life. Little did Rena know that she had just entered an even worse hell.

Over the years, Rena Uzumaki had long since resigned herself to her fate. Her only hope was that the leader of Kusagakure would keep his promise and allow her daughter to live as a true Kusagakure ninja. Judging from her performance in the last two years, everything seemed to be going smoothly.

As long as she could continue like this, she would persevere no matter how much pain she was in, for the sake of her only daughter.

The commotion that just happened outside was not uncommon in the past, before Karin was born. The reason was ridiculous: the grass ninjas wanted to fight for the right to arrive first. They were strictly stopped by Uryu. Especially after Karin was born, they became much more 'well-behaved', and everything was done according to the established 'schedule'. They even gave her so-called 'rest time'!

This has been going on for three or four years. Rena thought it would continue like this forever, but this commotion has once again awakened Rena's most painful memories. She felt that she would have to face that fear again and even wanted to send her daughter away from home again.

But when Rena pushed open the door, she didn't see the 'familiar yet terrifying scene' she had seen before. Instead, a gentle young man with a smile came into her view.

The face was completely unfamiliar, and most importantly, Tsukasa's attire was completely different from that of the Grass Ninja, as was the obvious Iwa Ninja headband on his forehead.

All of this left Rena stunned for a moment.

"you are?"

315. This is my promise (Please subscribe!)

"You must be Uzumaki Reina-san? I am Uchiha Shoji, a Jonin from Iwagakure!"

Looking at the woman before him, Jiang Si spoke softly in the gentlest tone possible. Although it was only for a moment, before blasting the two grass ninja away, Jiang Si had already used his Sharingan to pull these two bastards into his genjutsu world. Although it couldn't compare to Itachi's Tsukuyomi technique using the Mangekyou Sharingan, with Jiang Si's current proficiency in using the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was no problem to torture and ravage these two grass ninjas. Sparing their lives was already Jiang Si's greatest mercy. Incidentally, he also extracted the information he wanted from the brains of these two grass ninjas.

Shoji had a general understanding of the background of Uzumaki Rena's arrival in Kusagakure. Although there were some things in it that could make Shoji angry, he still suppressed his anger in front of Rena and Karin and tried his best to show his most affectionate side.

He didn't want to frighten the frail mother and daughter. Even though he had made this decision with the intention of maximizing the value of Rena and Karin as members of the Uzumaki clan, he still retained a sense of kindness and compassion that a human being should have. Rena and Karin should not suffer such inhuman treatment.

"Iwa ninja? Uchiha?"

Shoji's gentle words clearly dispelled some of the fear deep in Rena and Karin's hearts. Karin, who was still very young at the moment, did not understand much, but Rena could clearly understand what Iwa ninja and Uchiha meant!

But Reina knows better than anyone that the Uchiha should belong to Konoha, right?

Because she was completely isolated and cut off by the Grass Ninja, Rena, who had almost no access to any information, had no way of knowing about the series of events that were happening in the ninja world.

Having to rely solely on the meager amount of information she had previously possessed, it was only natural that a look of confusion appeared on her pale face as soon as Si finished speaking.

"Yes, it's the Uchiha clan. These eyes can't be faked. I think you can recognize them, right, Rena-san?"

To further demonstrate his identity, Shoji activated his Sharingan in the next moment, revealing a crimson color in his pupils and the slowly rotating black tomoe.

Sharingan!

"Red eyes!"

The moment Rena exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, Karin, who was sitting in the lower seat, looked into Shoji's eyes and spoke in a childish voice.

Before Rena could say anything...

Young Karin spoke up first, saying, "Big brother, your eyes are red too. In the village, besides my mother, I've only seen you with red eyes. Are you like us? But big brother, your eyes are a little strange. Why are there three little black dots inside them?"

Karin!

Upon hearing her daughter's sudden remark, Rena's expression changed, and she immediately lowered her head, intending to scold her daughter. Perhaps because of this slight emotional outburst, Rena's body swayed uncontrollably.

Shoji quickly caught Rena and helped her stand up. After she regained her balance, he said softly, "Rena-san, don't worry. I mean you no harm. I came here because I overheard your situation and I'm here to help you. I know this request may seem presumptuous, but please believe me and come with me out of Kusagakure. I'll take you back to Iwagakure. I know what you're wondering, but if you trust me, I'll explain everything to you on the way back!"

"Of course, I understand your concerns. I did this because you are from the Uzumaki clan, but please rest assured, the Uchiha clan would never resort to such despicable means!"

Shoji looked at Reina Uzumaki in front of him and spoke in a very sincere tone.

There are different kinds of people to exploit, and the way Kusagakure did it was undoubtedly the most foolish and despicable kind. Even if you can't win people's hearts completely, you can't at least treat them as enemies or even as livestock, right?

In Shoji's view, from the leader of Kusagakure, Uryu, to the ordinary Kusagakure ninja, every single one of them was a fool.

For nearly six or seven years, Rena Uzumaki lived in Kusagakure, which was undoubtedly like hell. She had been enduring it all and suppressing herself. At this moment, Shoji's words truly touched Rena Uzumaki's heart.

These were all bodies that began to tremble slightly.

"Can I trust you, Mr. Jiang Si?"

The tremor in her voice testified to Rena Uzumaki's emotions at that moment.

With a resolute expression, Shoji nodded emphatically and said, "You can choose to trust me, Rena-san! At least, I can guarantee that the days ahead will be dozens of times better than here. Not just for you, but also for Karin. Iwagakure can give you and your daughter a real place to live! This is my promise, Uchiha Shoji!"

The emotions were hard to control, and the heart was stirred up again, with tears welling up in the eyes instantly.

"Mother?"

Upon seeing this, Karin panicked instantly.

Why are you crying?

Those little hands clenched even tighter, and they looked at Jiang Si with a very angry expression, as if blaming Jiang Si for making their mother cry.

"Yes, Mommy cried because she was happy, Karin, don't worry!"

Rena immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled, and gently patted her daughter's head, saying that being able to escape the hell before her eyes, and most importantly, that her daughter could truly have a secure future, was undoubtedly heavenly news to Rena. As for whether Shoji would deceive her, that was another matter.

Rena wouldn't even consider it. It's not that she's brainless, but the significance the Uchiha clan represents is extremely important. Those Sharingan eyes prove Shoji's identity, and besides, there's Iwagakure's backing. What is there to worry about? Of course, the most important point is, could things get any worse than staying in Kusagakure?

As for whether Shoji has the ability to take the mother and daughter away, Rena has even less to worry about. The Uchiha clan and Iwagakure village are already her biggest source of confidence!

"Okay! I believe you, then I'll get ready right away!"

Although her body was already very weak, Rena seemed to have boundless strength at this moment. She turned around and went back into the dilapidated house to pack her few belongings. Although other things didn't matter, it was at least necessary to bring some changes of clothes.

316. The Grass Ninja who mobilized a large force

Indeed, there wasn't much to pack up.

He simply packed a few changes of clothes into a worn-out bag. During this time, Jiang Si also quietly spread his senses. Although he couldn't examine her as thoroughly as a medical ninja, he could still detect some specific details, which made Jiang Si breathe a sigh of relief. At least within his detection range, Uzumaki Reina was only a little weak and didn't have any serious illness. However, this still couldn't be 100% certain.

After all, he wasn't a professional. He had passively endured so much suffering and bullying in Kusagakure for so many years. It was highly likely that he would develop some health problems. Kusagakure obviously didn't really take Rena seriously, especially after Karin was born. They probably really treated Rena as a disposable tool, and once she was broken, she was broken. They didn't intend to take good care of her body at all.

Otherwise, if the Hidden Grass Village had been even slightly more humane, Rena Uzumaki could have maintained a relatively healthy body instead of being in her current state. Therefore, after returning to his own village, Shoji would definitely arrange for Rena to undergo a comprehensive physical examination and treatment. As long as it wasn't a particularly serious illness, Shoji believed that with the level of medical ninjas in his own village, there would definitely be no problem!

"That's fine, General."

Within minutes, the luggage was packed. After the initial excitement subsided, Rena became somewhat reserved as she faced Shoji again.

Shoji smiled slightly, reached out and took the luggage from Uzumaki Reina's hands. He didn't say anything more, but still maintained a gentle expression and said softly, "Then let's go!"

Then, she turned around and took the lead, seemingly infected by Shoji's smile. Rena Uzumaki calmed down again, slightly tightened her grip on her daughter Karin's small hand, and followed Shoji's steps.

The three of them walked straight through the main road of Kusagakure. Although they did attract the attention of many ordinary people in Kusagakure, they were too intimidated by the presence of Shoji, an Iwa ninja, to ask any questions.

Later, some other grass ninja noticed the whereabouts of Shoji, Rena, and Karin.

"This is!?"

"you!?"

He had just come forward and hadn't even finished saying a word when...

"Go away!"

A fierce glint appeared in Jiang Si's pupils, and a terrifying aura burst forth from him.

"Boom!"

"boom!"

"what!?"

"Boom!"

One by one, the grass ninjas who came to stop them were blasted away. They were from completely different dimensions. When Uzumaki Rena saw this scene, although her body trembled slightly in her subconscious, she felt extremely relieved deep down.

Karin, who was holding her mother's right hand tightly, looked at Shoji's back with bright, sparkling eyes at that moment.

They traveled smoothly without any obstacles. No one could stop Shoji's steps for even a second. Shoji had already brought Rena and Karin to the hotel where his team had stayed.

"This is?"

Rena, who initially thought that he would leave Kusagakure with her and her daughter, now showed a hint of doubt.

Shoji nodded slightly and said softly, "It's alright. Tomorrow I will officially take you all away from here. I still have three subordinates staying inside. Besides picking up Rena-san and the others, I have another matter to attend to when I came to Iwagakure. Don't worry, with me here, there's nothing to worry about!"

Even though she still felt somewhat uneasy, Rena Uzumaki's emotions calmed down under Shoji's reassurance. This was not only because of the reputation of the Uchiha clan and Iwagakure, but also because when she first met Shoji, Rena felt a sense of comfort and security from him, which was the biggest reason why Rena was willing to trust him.
