Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

His words really silenced the other party, and even a tense atmosphere began to spread.

When the other party tensed up and felt that a conflict was inevitable, Yu Zhen spoke again:

"It's just a little joke. You look very tired, so please stay here and don't move around. We can set up camp a little further away."

He waved his hand to let his ninjas retreat a distance to show an attitude of mutual peace.

Seeing this, Fuma Goro was obviously relieved. It turned out that the other party was not the kind of unreasonable person who would try to beat someone up at every turn.

However, what Yu Zhen meant by retreating was actually retreating, but only a little bit.

He led everyone to the Fengmo clan's camp on the north side, which was only a hundred meters away from them.

For a ninja, this distance is not a safe distance in any way.

This is the upwind side, and then Yuzhen and the others started preparing dinner.

They were just having a meal here, but the Fengmo clan over there was visibly in an uproar.

When Yu Zhen was pretending to arrange the night guard, the leader of the Fengmo clan came here with an embarrassed and unspeakable expression.

He came alone, and he wanted to raise his hands to show that he had no hostility.

So Yu Zhen signaled his subordinates to make way and let the other party come to him.

"Mr. Yuzhen, can you...give us some food?"

Fuma Goro was a young man who hadn't developed a thick skin, so he spoke in a very low voice, and his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat.

He didn't dare look directly at Yu Zhen, and his head almost drooped to the ground.

Needless to say, he knew that this request was excessive, but his people were almost starving to death.

It can only be said that this kind of request is very rare, because if someone lacks supplies and wants to obtain supplies, the current basic practice in the ninja world is not to ask, but to rob.

Unfortunately, the current Fengmo clan does not have this strength.

In the ninja world, things that theoretically cannot be stolen cannot be begged for.

Yu Zhen showed a surprised expression, and said with some reluctance:

"This... Chief Fengmo, I sympathize with your situation, but as you can see, our situation isn't very good either. It's uncertain whether the few remaining supplies will sustain us on the rest of our journey."

Fuma Goro raised his head, wanting to say something, but ultimately, nothing came out. He could only nod silently, then prepared to leave with heavy steps.

But before he could take two steps, Yu Zhen suddenly called out to him, as if he couldn't bear it any longer:

"Feng Mo Clan Leader, let me share some grains and broth with you. I hope this will be of some help. Our situation here... our capabilities are truly limited."

Fuma Goro suddenly stopped and turned around with surprise:

"Is that true... No, I mean thank you very much, thank you very much, Mr. Yuzhen."

By first refusing and then agreeing, even the smallest help can become invaluable.

A little worthless material is nothing, but Yu Zhen is using a trick... exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

He immediately arranged for people to follow Fuma Goro to deliver some supplies to the camp over there, and then there was jubilation over there.

After Fuma Goro arranged the distribution of the food, he returned to Yuzhen and thanked him again.

Yuzhen took the opportunity to invite the other party to dinner, and Fuma Goro certainly had no reason to refuse.

Those who heard it were sad and cried. If he ate one more bite here, there would be more for other people in the Fengmo camp.

Yu Zhen didn't ask how these people ended up in such a miserable situation. Instead, he became concerned about their future.

"Feng Mo clan leader, what are you going to do next?"

Fuma Goro held a bowl of hot soup and shook his head with a slightly confused look.

He had no idea where the road ahead lay.

"To be honest, I don't know where the future of our clan lies."

His situation is somewhat similar to Yu Zhen's. Both are new clan leaders who were forced to take on the task. If you ask him whether he has long-term vision and coordination ability, it is probably almost nonexistent.

"The survival of the clan depends on himself. Fengmo clan leader must carefully consider every step ahead. The consequences of a single mistake will be disastrous."

Yu Zhen saw that this person didn't seem to be able to withstand pressure, so he tried to put pressure on him.

Sure enough, the expression on Fuma Goro's face became even more bitter.

He had no idea about the future of his clan, so he chose to escape:

"Mr. Yuzhen, what's going on here?"

"Us? We're just wandering ninjas right now. Everyone here comes from different backgrounds, but we all have similar experiences. That's why we're forced to stick together for warmth."

The words were vague, but Fuma Goro could understand them. It was nothing more than the Alliance of the Frustrated.

Then he secretly laughed at himself, now their Fengmo clan is more frustrated than the frustrated people.

"A wandering ninja now?"

Fuma Goro asked back, he felt that there was something else behind Yu Zhen's words.

Yu Zhen nodded and explained to him:

"We have taken a break and are now planning to look for suitable employers in the West."

"Any chance?"

“It all depends on your own efforts.”

Fuma Goro fell silent again. The Mr. Yuzhen in front of him looked younger than him, but he spoke and acted in an organized manner. He was full of ideas about the future path he wanted to take. His leadership and control abilities seemed to be outstanding.

Suddenly, an idea emerged in his mind.

"Our current situation isn't good either, and we're just a little more optimistic than you.

Some of the ninja here come from obscure clans, while others come from ancient and prestigious families. We are so diverse, so why are we able to unite and support each other? It's simply because we all hold a sincere heart.

That's why I'd like to offer you a little help...

We have all been through the rain, so if possible, we are willing to hold up an umbrella for others."

Yu Zhen's nonsense is still somewhat inspiring, and his words are supported by facts... Haven't you seen that ninjas from all kinds of backgrounds have gathered around him from the bottom of their hearts?

More importantly, Fuma Goro is now in a state of confusion and feels empty, lonely and cold. In this situation, his tolerance for inspirational stories has dropped to the lowest point.

Then he almost blurted out:

"Mr. Yuzhen, is your Ashes really willing to accept ninjas of all backgrounds regardless of their origins?"

Chapter 37 Blood Oath

If Yu Zhen's current identity was not the captain of "Ashes" but the patriarch of "Yugong Yuan", then what he said would obviously be more difficult to convince people.

But after changing his identity, the sound and effect of his words were very different.

It’s not that Fuma Goro is gullible, it’s mainly because they are now desperate.

There are only more than 30 people left in the Fuma clan, only half of whom are ninjas, and the remaining half are civilians.

The civilians have no one to rely on, the ninjas have no will to fight, in this devastating situation, what can Fuma Goro, the clan leader, do?

After hearing his question, Yu Zhen's face showed a little surprise, and he said:

"The purpose of our organization is to gather drifting ninjas and help them overcome the dangers of the ninja world. If you want to join, I will certainly welcome you.

But... you're making such a hasty decision on such a big matter? Without even consulting your own people?

And if you join us, although we won't interfere in your clan's affairs, your subsequent actions must abide by the principle of collective consensus, that is, obey my command. Can you accept this?"

Yu Zhen is very honest. His words are not an excuse, but rather a way of saying "let me be frank with you".

Fuma Goro's words just now were indeed a bit impulsive, but the problem is that the Fuma clan is now at the end of their rope. If they want to survive in the ninja world, banding together with other forces for warmth has almost become their only option.

This "Ashes" organization is obviously a good partner.

Because it is small in scale and has good ideas, the combination of the two sides can be regarded as a true merger rather than an annexation... Fuma Goro feels that he can use Yuzhen and others to overcome the crisis while ensuring the relative independence of the clan, which is already very good.

The more Fuma Goro thought about it, the more he felt that his decision was correct.

"Mr. Yuzhen, I think I can convince my people. As long as you are willing to accept us, we are also willing to actively become part of the Ashes." He said.

Yu Zhen seemed to think it over carefully before responding:

"How about this, you can become our temporary members, and we can spend some time together. This will help you through the difficulties and give you a chance to get to know us.

After you recover, if you agree with our ideals, you can choose to become a part of us. If you don’t agree with our ideals, you can choose to leave…”

These words made Fuma Goro feel a little ashamed. In his opinion, what Yuzhen said was full of sincerity. In comparison, his little thoughts of trying to use the Ashes Organization seemed very dirty.

To put it bluntly, the Fengmo clan wants to join the Ashes, but they are just bowing to reality, not rushing towards their ideal path... What are the ideals? They just want a bite to eat.

"Mr. Yuzhen, perhaps your explanation is more reasonable, but since we have accepted your selfless help and chosen to join you, there is no reason for us to betray you again in the future. Please believe us on this point... Now I will go and convince my people."

Fuma Goro seemed very determined to say this. He walked towards the camp of the Fuma clan, ready to persuade his members.

But it's just a matter of listening to his words. Could Yu Zhen be so naive as to believe the promise made by a ninja he had just known for a few hours?

There is only one thing that is certain, perhaps the Fengmo clan's decision to join the Ashes Organization was a bit rash and impulsive, but if they really want to leave at that time, things may not be simple.

After Fuma Goro returned to the Fuma clan's camp, he discussed with his tribesmen for a while and convinced them with almost no effort.

In a sense, it is a great fortune to meet someone who is willing to help when you are at your wit's end. They have no reason to refuse such help.

The reason why Fuma Goro was able to quickly convince his tribesmen, in addition to bowing to reality, was definitely because the "withdrawal agreement" given by Yuzhen played a very crucial role.

Fuma Goro brought the good news to Yuzhen.

What happened next made him quickly understand that joining the "Ashes" organization was not something to be taken lightly.

"Mr. Yuzhen, we have unanimously decided to join Ashes. We hope you can accept us and treat us equally." Fuma Goro said to Yuzhen.

Yuzhen smiled back and said:

"Welcome to join us. Please rest assured that sincerity and equality are the foundation of our organization."

"To demonstrate mutual trust and express our welcome to you, I think the two sides should hold an alliance ceremony."

Things should be done with a sense of ritual. Fuma Goro doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, but...

"Of course that's great, but given the current conditions, how can we hold the ceremony?"

"It's not a complicated ceremony. We always focus on substance over ceremony."

"Well, everything will be based on Mr. Yuzhen's opinion."

Under Yu Zhen's arrangement, the two groups quickly gathered together.

They formed a circle, with Yuzhen's people on one side and the Fuma clan on the other.

A bright bonfire was lit in the open space among the crowd. Yuzhen and Fuma Goro stood beside the bonfire, and Yuzhen then explained the upcoming ceremony.

"Today, based on the request of Clan Leader Goro Fuma, our Ashes organization has decided to accept the Fuma clan as members."

"I believe everyone will understand the organization's rules of conduct and its attitude towards each member later, so I won't elaborate on it today."

"Please believe that even though we come from different backgrounds, now that we are united, we can still be like blood relatives, connected by blood and flesh and blood."

"I know that words often lack power and are insufficient to enforce discipline. But that's okay. We can build trust step by step."

"Of course, before that, we must eliminate the hostility between us, otherwise nothing can be done. Therefore, I have prepared this ceremony..."

As he spoke, Yuzhen extended his right hand towards Fuma Goro.

At this point, most people thought he was just talking big. What effect could such a ceremony have? Just a handshake.

Fuma Goro smiled, stretched out his hand, and shook hands tightly with Yuzhen.

then……

As the bonfire flickered, a cold light suddenly flashed.

Yu Zhen held a sharp dagger in his left hand and without hesitation nailed the right hands of both parties together.

A sharp pain came, and Fuma Goro felt confused. He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away, but his palm was clamped tightly by Yu Zhen and he could not move at all.

Drops of blood dripped from the gap between the two palms.

A burst of uproar came from the Fengmo clan. They thought that Yu Zhen had suddenly attacked.

Yu Zhen's calm voice easily overwhelmed the chaotic commotion:
