The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

The shadow gradually lengthens.

On a corner of Kirigakure.

The Yuan Master's residence seemed to be completely enveloped in a dark barrier, creating an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere.

On that long corridor reflecting dark imprints.

Master Yuan sat there in the most standard sitting posture, closing his eyes to rest.

It seemed to have stood there quietly for a long time, without making the slightest movement.

In the next second.

"Da da da da da"

At the end of the left-hand corridor.

A series of slightly hurried footsteps followed.

"Master Yuanshi."

next second.

A tall, middle-aged man with a slightly weathered face appeared before Master Yuan.

This man was none other than Bi, who had followed Master Yuan for decades and was Master Yuan's closest and most trusted subordinate!

Bi, who had followed Master Yuan since childhood and witnessed the storms of Kirigakure over the decades, now had a rare look of solemnity and anxiety in her eyes.

"Oh? It's Bi. Why are you here so late? Is something urgent?"

Master Yuan slowly opened his eyes, looking at Bi with a hint of doubt, and asked softly.

"Yes, Master Yuan, a big problem has arisen. Some people in the village may have already been turned, and there may also be a big problem with Quan Bingwei. I haven't received any news from Quan Bingwei for a whole day."

Bi took a deep breath and said with a very serious expression.

"What did you say? Someone in the village has been turned?"

Master Yuan looked surprised, as if he couldn't fully understand what Bi was saying.

In the end, Master Yuan grew old.

As the longest-living being in the ninja world, and nearly two cycles older than Onoki, Genji is practically on his deathbed.

Whether it's physical function or brain response.

Basically, it's a state that's completely incomparable to its prime.

It takes a long time for Master Yuan to come to his senses.

"Yes, Master Yuan."

As Bi finished confirming her words.

Only then did Master Yuan show a serious expression.

"Can you be 100% sure? Besides Quan Bingwei, are Sen He and Guan Lan also completely out of the loop?"

Master Yuan asked softly, word by word.

But beneath these calm words lay a profound sense of solemnity.

An enemy has infiltrated the village.

This is a result that Master Yuan came to through analysis of some minor issues a few days ago, even though Master Yuan is old.

But in the end, he was the ultimate elder of Kirigakure.

All the highest-level political affairs in the village still need to be reviewed by the Grand Master.

If certain people or events become discordant too often, the Yuan Master will naturally be able to sense it.

However, as mentioned before, Yuan Shi's efficiency in discovering the problem was too low. Secondly, Yuan Shi did not truly realize the seriousness of the problem at the time, and thought it was just a pure spy intrusion by other hostile ninja villages.

They wanted to take advantage of Kirigakure's weakened state to gain some benefits.

Therefore, the orders issued by the Yuan Master were just routine operations, which were usually sufficient.

Even if the enemy is Konoha or Kumogakure.

Yuan Shi also felt that it was more than enough to deal with the situation. Even though his two most trusted subordinates, Bi and Quan Bingwei, were somewhat lacking in individual strength, Yuan Shi was still very confident in their experience and methods in this area.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shi underestimated the difficulty of dealing with the enemy he was about to face.

Incorrect response methods, and the most fatal problem of time delay.

This has already deprived Master Yuan and Kirigakure of their last chance to turn the tide.

The most tragic thing is that Master Yuan is still unaware of this.

Even Bi, who came to report, only thought that his own ninja village was facing a life-or-death crisis.

Although this is already a very terrifying situation.

But it's still far from being a 'dead end'.

"It seems the enemy is far more terrifying than we imagined. Bi, immediately issue an order to convene a village-wide meeting, summoning all the top ninja from each department. Also, issue an order to the ANBU: starting today, the village will be under full martial law. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my orders. If anyone is found, arrest them on the spot. Then, immediately take your men to Gonbei. Whoever is even slightly suspicious, arrest them all."

After pondering for a while, Master Yuan's face showed a resolute expression, and he gave the order in a deep voice.

such a command.

This will undoubtedly exacerbate the panic within the village.

But Master Yuan had no other choice.

Bi's report was enough to make Master Yuan realize how exaggeratedly wrong his previous judgment had been.

Master Yuan only hoped that he could still make amends in time.

"Yes, I understand, Master Yuan, I will take care of it immediately!"

Bi, sitting opposite, nodded emphatically and replied in response.

Just as Bi bowed in response and was about to turn and leave,

"call out!"

"call out!"

Suddenly.

It is located in the shaded area on the left.

In the blind spot where the setting sun's rays couldn't reach, more than ten thick, long tree roots suddenly appeared.

In the area covered.

"What's this!?"

They launched a blatant attack on Bi's location.

A sudden attack.

Her emerald pupils suddenly contracted.

The only way to avoid it was by instinct, subconsciously dodging to one side.

However, the attack was too fierce and sudden.

Bi clearly couldn't completely avoid it.

The attack could only avoid vital points, but Bi was powerless against the remaining wooden roots. One easily pierced through Bi's right shoulder, and the other struck Bi's left leg directly.

"Pfft!"

"boom"

"Well!?"

The blood that splattered out immediately afterward.

Feeling intense tearing pain, Bi An groaned and, unable to control himself, flew backward rapidly.

"boom!"

It crashed heavily onto the house behind it, with a loud bang, and half of the roof collapsed.

"Bi!"

Master Yuan immediately stood up and shouted loudly with a look of shock and anger.

And that was exactly what Master Yuan had said.

"Hehe, Master Yuan, there's no need to trouble yourself! I'll take care of Kirigakure from now on. Don't worry, I've already had experience with this once, and this time, I will definitely not let Kirigakure have any problems."

In the area where the attack just took place.

Obito stepped forward, revealing his crimson yet jet-black Sharingan with three tomoe in his single pupil.

The moment I saw this scene.

Master Yuan's heart trembled instantly.

This guy!? Could he be someone from back then!?

Although people get old.

Even if it's difficult for the mind to process, the masked man in front of him is, after all, the mastermind behind the control of their Fourth Mizukage. With just one glance, Master Yuan can easily recognize him.

The fact that this guy escaped back then clearly became a problem that Yuan Shi couldn't let go of.

Now the masked man reappeared in front of him.

How could Master Yuan not understand who was behind everything that had happened in the ninja village during this period?!

It wasn't Konoha or Kumogakure, as he had previously guessed.

That damn thing!

"Ahem... Master Yuan... please evacuate this place immediately..."

Beneath the ruins of that house.

Bi struggled to crawl out, her face pale and her body covered in blood, a truly gruesome sight.

That attack just now clearly nearly took Bi's life.
