I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

Kaizo Ichiro did not hesitate at all about his boss's suggestion. He had just witnessed the special movement of his boss on the sea, and he felt that his boss's strength should be enough to carry him to most places in the ninja world.

“…Haha, that’s true~!”

After hearing Haizang Ichiro's answer, Li Mo, who knew that his current strength had increased by more than a hundred times compared to three years ago, was silent for a few seconds and then burst into laughter. He stood up and ordered without hesitation: "Well, Haizang, you make the arrangements. I will return to the Rainbow Country to deal with the affairs of the past few years, and then prepare a team of samurai and guardian ninjas to enter the various countries in the ninja world with a suitable identity!"

At this time, Li Mo had already had the idea of ​​wanting to move forward. After more than three years of dormant practice, his overall strength had reached a bottleneck. What he needed was some time to settle down and accumulate more foundation and resources.

Anyway, Li Mo did not learn the quick success and instant benefits from those ninjas. Practicing and refining [Chakra] means constantly carrying out missions and fighting. Except for a very small number of ninjas who reached the Six Paths level and became immortal, the combat effectiveness of other ninjas over the age of forty declined year by year. It can be said that [Chakra] in this regard is completely a killing technique, and it does not consider at all whether the practitioners can achieve immortality while ensuring combat effectiveness.

Li Mo did not learn that kind of life-threatening practice method. He already has a very bright future. Now that he has some free time, he finally has the confidence to venture into the ninja world and take advantage of the good opportunity to gain certain benefits!

"As you command! Sir!"

Kaizo Ichiro bowed without hesitation. He had no objection to the decision made by Li Mo. According to his own estimation, unless the Boss provokes a large ninja village, he would be able to return safely even if it is from other small ninja villages!

……

"As for the Third Shinobi World War, remember that the Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village were the places where the future Fourth Kazekage would betray their rivals, and there were several other places..."

Later, Li Mo took the speedboat back directly. He stayed in the best cabin on the speedboat. While looking at the scenery where the sea and sky merged into one, he was thinking about the major options for his real entry into the ninja world.

The Third Ninja World War has not yet ended, and it is certainly not a good choice for ordinary people to rashly go to the Ninja World. However, Li Mo does not have to worry so much with his current strength. Even if he is facing a single Kage-level strongman, he will not be afraid. Even if he really cannot defeat him, he can retreat calmly. He is not stupid enough to expose his identity.

Are you talking about strong people above the shadow level?

Sorry, the Third Ninja World War is not the Fourth Ninja World War. Those gods who drive Gundams and even catch tailed beasts like chickens have not yet fully entered the scene. Li Mo just needs to not be stupid enough to run to places like the Mist Village, Konoha Village, and the Land of Rain.

Moreover, compared with those places that are extremely dangerous or contain huge threats, Li Mo is more interested in whether he can directly use the knowledge of the plot of "Naruto" to obtain enough benefits. When he thinks about it carefully, he finds that if he goes to the Ninja World to conduct archaeology and treasure hunting, he really has a great chance to gain benefits, so he naturally becomes more excited.

In comparison, some of the affairs accumulated by the Rainbow Kingdom are trivial matters. Li Mo is more concerned about making an appearance as the "heir to the daimyo of the Rainbow Kingdom" to pave the way for legitimately controlling the entire Rainbow Kingdom!

Chapter 57 Trivia and Departure

Li Mo's experience of returning to the Rainbow Kingdom was very simple. He appeared several times like a real daimyo heir, leaving a deep impression on the people who had newly joined the Rainbow Kingdom. Then he made minor adjustments to the affairs of the Rainbow Kingdom.

This is naturally not a difficult task for Li Mo!

Even though Li Mo was just a corporate worker before he traveled through time, at least he had seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork. At least in terms of vision and knowledge, he was much better than those daimyos and nobles in the world of Naruto.

What's more, Li Mo has accepted his own memories in the world of Kabutojo. That is another Li Mo who has already ruled hundreds of thousands of people. His development is certainly based on the modern society with some characteristics of the world of Kabutojo, but it is enough for him to have a lot of governance experience. The other selves will more or less have different ideas in this regard. After Li Mo made some summary, there will be no big problem in governing the small country of Rainbow Kingdom from a general direction.

At the very least, it would combine its own resources to accumulate capital first, and then focus on cultivating management talents and capable subordinates. Li Mo is very familiar with this kind of planning, and the resources of the Rainbow Country itself are indeed very rich. In the past, it was at most slowly developed due to lack of manpower. Now, under the management of officials at all levels, it has begun to develop rapidly.

The most important thing is that the extraordinary power that Li Mo possesses gives him enough confidence to delegate power. Even if some people are not capable, it doesn't matter. No matter which world it is, there are always countless people willing to be officials.

When Li Mo returned to the Rainbow Kingdom, apart from going out and making a few public appearances over the past ten days, he seemed very busy in other aspects. For a few years, he only occasionally adjusted the development direction of the Rainbow Kingdom. Even with the established Rainbow Kingdom's secret department inspectors and loyal subordinates, many things had accumulated and needed to be dealt with urgently.

Without saying anything else, the population of the Rainbow Country has grown from over 100,000 three years ago to nearly 400,000 now. Naturally, a lot of problems have accumulated. Even if the Rainbow Country tries its best to disperse the refugees and disrupt their resettlement, and arranges Anbu ninjas in advance to clean up the unstable factors, the influx of foreign refugees that is twice the number of the original residents is not so easy to integrate. Even if the ordinary civilians in the Naruto world are more obedient (most of the disobedient ones are killed by samurai or ninjas), it takes very delicate efforts to arrange corresponding jobs and promotions.

Before returning to the Rainbow Country, Li Mo naturally handled some of the affairs of the Rainbow Country in general, but now that he is back in the Rainbow Country, he has to conduct a careful review. At least he will not do anything weird like "Why not eat meat porridge?" This Rainbow Country is his base in the Naruto world. Planning a suitable development direction and implementing it can be said to be an important action that Li Mo must carry out.

Fortunately, Li Mo is already a powerful and extraordinary warrior. It doesn't take him long to patrol the territory of the Rainbow Country. With the supervision of the Anbu ninja, he can quickly deal with the many affairs currently accumulated in the Rainbow Country!

………………

"The most important thing for immigrants is to prevent mosquitoes. Filling up the puddles and free-range chickens, ducks and geese is the first priority. Drinking water must be boiled before drinking!"

"We must be careful when developing mineral resources. Even for those who are doing hard labor, we must try our best to ensure their safety. The Rainbow Country is really short of people to develop mineral resources, and it is even more difficult to invest in the strong labor force for mineral development."

"Well, the training of the Ninja Army is pretty good. They can now try to use Ninjutsu to serve the people. They don't necessarily have to use Ninjutsu to kill people..."

On the tenth day after returning to the Rainbow Kingdom, Li Mo stood on the highest peak of the Rainbow Kingdom, pointed to the scene where one side could see the sea and the other side was the forest, and gave instructions and commands to Kaizang Ichiro who was waiting respectfully beside him.

After two days of field research, Li Mo found that the development of the Rainbow Country in the past three years was still very good. Occasionally there were omissions or things that were not noticed, but they were actually trivial matters that were harmless. What he valued more was the current population potential of the Rainbow Country. At least it was a small country with decent strength. In the ninja world, it might be worthy of the attention of the five major countries.

——Compared with the five major countries where the five major ninja villages are located, the size of the Rainbow Country is naturally nothing, but Li Mo’s development of the Rainbow Country is not to support a ninja village, and then the daimyo and the ninja village leaders are wary of each other and cooperate with each other. That is a completely stupid operation. The Rainbow Country is developed with all its strength in Li Mo’s hands, and its ninja army has received strong support, which is equivalent to one being a mercenary and the other being a national defense force. The development prospects of the two sides are naturally completely different trends.

At the very least, Li Mo would not be stupid enough to let the ninja army under his command go out for the so-called mission rewards. They are strictly trained according to the requirements of professional soldiers. Even when they carry out missions, they are all based on the interests of the Rainbow Country. For example, the idea of ​​using ninjutsu to serve the people's livelihood is Li Mo's attempt to civilianize the power of chakra. After all, no matter how you look at it, the world of Naruto is dominated by supernatural powers.

However, although Li Mo's idea is novel, he is very cautious about implementing it. He wants the ninja army to try it out first, and other matters are mostly just some minor adjustments to the current situation.

"As you command! Sir!"

Hearing Li Mo's instructions, Kaizo Ichiro nodded very respectfully. The two special jonin subordinates beside him quickly recorded the contents, such as the details of the adjustments to the internal situation of the Rainbow Country, which were recorded completely word for word. Then Kaizo Ichiro would inform the daimyo, who would order it to be promulgated, and then officials at all levels would implement these detailed strategic adjustments.

As for the execution, the Rainbow Country does not have to worry about this problem. Not to mention the name of the Rainbow Country who acts as the face of the country, the supervision of the Anbu and their own people placed in key positions can guarantee that the Rainbow Country's execution is very serious!

"Well, Kaizo Ichiro, I checked the candidates recommended by you and the current daimyo and found that they can be promoted. Then, try to recruit as many people as possible during this period!"

Li Mo paid no attention to Kaizo Ichiro's respectful attitude, but thought about the promotion and appointment. He handed Kaizo Ichiro a list of candidates for promotion drawn randomly from Anbu ninjas and lower-level civilians based on actual conditions, and said directly, "In three days, I will set off on the fleet, and then the affairs of the Rainbow Country will be handed over to you..."

When saying this, Li Mo felt very relieved. Although he felt that the ability of [Seed of Fusion] was a bit evil, he had to admit that this thing did create loyal subordinates. Kaizo Ichiro and the Anbu ninja were proof of this.

It was precisely because of the existence of the [Seed of Fusion] and its predecessor, the [Seed of Shadow], that Li Mo was able to easily swallow up the small country of Rainbow Kingdom, and at the same time made this small country stronger at the fastest speed. It was also able to absorb several times more refugees and ensure the overall stability of the situation. It can be said that the [Seed of Fusion] played an indispensable role. Even though Li Mo's values ​​before the time travel gave him a certain bottom line, he was still very flexible in this regard.

Otherwise, if Li Mo had insisted on sticking to the so-called bottom line, he would probably still be worried about where to settle down. It was not like now that he had occupied a small country with hundreds of thousands of citizens and thousands of ninja troops. Naturally, he would feel at ease to leave things to his subordinates.

"Yes! Your lord!"

Facing Li Mo's order, Kaizang Ichiro responded loudly without hesitation. Like his subordinates who had fused with the [Seed of Fusion], he was absolutely loyal to Li Mo and naturally would not have any questions about his boss's orders.

……

Three days later, in the largest port city of the Rainbow Country, seven five-masted sailing ships formed a fleet. Two of them were newly built five-masted sailing ships of the Rainbow Country. Together with five old five-masted sailing ships, they were fully loaded with cargo and headed for the Ninja World.

After all, the ninja world, which has been fighting a war for more than three years, has an almost endless need for food, sugar, cloth, medicine and other goods. The fish floss, dried seafood, sugar and other goods produced by the Rainbow Country are so popular that the daimyos and nobles of the five major countries are very happy to act as agents after receiving letters from the daimyos of the Rainbow Country and samples, and allow the Rainbow Country to take away an unlimited number of refugees.

If you don't feel anything real, you can compare it with the First World War in the real world before Li Mo traveled through time. From the second year, the German civilians began to eat cabbage to fill their stomachs. The number of infants, young children and the elderly who died due to malnutrition was astonishing. In the world of Naruto, the situation is still stuck in the five major countries and various small countries of the feudal era. No one knows how many people died of hunger and cold, but food can easily be sold at ten times the price before.

It was precisely because of such huge profits, and the fact that the status of the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country was recognized by other daimyos and nobles, who attached great importance to their own throne of power, that they allowed the Rainbow Country to take away an unlimited number of refugees. Otherwise, even if those daimyos and nobles did not care about the lives of those talking cattle and horses, it did not mean that they would be happy to see someone taking away the civilians they had exploited at will.

Li Mo naturally knew about his own arrangements a long time ago. His attention was not on the gradually expanding merchant fleet, but on the sea and sky. Standing on the overtime, he said to himself silently:

"Well, next, let me take a good look at the situation in the ninja world!"

Chapter 58: The Ruined Whirlpool Country

"My lord, this is the former Whirlpool Country!"

Half a month later, on an island less than fifty nautical miles away from the Ninja Continent, a speedboat dropped off Li Mo and several of his subordinates dressed as samurai and ninjas. The captain of the speedboat said respectfully to the nobleman in front of him.

As one of the original inhabitants of the Rainbow Country, the captain of the clipper was just a helper sailor on a fishing boat more than three years ago. Now he has become the person in charge of a camp and possesses an official position, wealth, a wife and children. Naturally, he is loyal to the Rainbow Country that has given him all these. Without the [Seed of Fusion], everyone has extremely high loyalty to the Rainbow Country, so naturally he welcomes the incoming merchant fleet.

As for Li Mo, he had not yet recognized the daimyo's heir who was in disguise and appeared in the Rainbow Country, but that did not mean that he could not recognize that the other party must be a noble person. Naturally, he sent the other party to an uninhabited coast of the Whirlpool Country with great respect!

"Very good, go back!"

Seeing the temporary captain's respectful attitude, Li Mo nodded and gave a direct order. He was too lazy to remember the other party's name. He had no impression of the other party. Although he was a captain, he was not capable of attracting Li Mo's attention.

If he really had that talent or qualification, Li Mo would have naturally paid attention to it long ago. The Anbu ninjas of the Rainbow Country are not careless wastes. If they really find someone with outstanding abilities, or outstanding ninja qualifications or scientific research talents, they will naturally summarize and report to Kaizo Ichiro. As for this temporary captain, it can only be said that his abilities are quite good.

If the Rainbow Country had not needed more than ten times the manpower to expand its merchant fleet in just over three years, it would not have been so easy for the other party to go from being a helper on a fishing boat to being the person in charge of a camp. But if he wanted Li Mo to look at him differently, he was still a long way off. If he had R&D or management capabilities of the same level as Orochimaru or even better, he would naturally be promoted. Now, at most, Li Mo is satisfied with his work attitude.

Anyway, Li Mo really doesn't feel that there is a shortage of management officials. What he lacks are high-level talents who are capable and trustworthy. There is really no problem with simple management personnel. They just need to be literate, numerate and carry out orders conscientiously. After managers of this level have some practical experience at the grassroots level in the Rainbow Country, they can be promoted directly based on their own achievements very soon.

In contrast, the temporary captain did not think so much. He bowed respectfully to Li Mo and left. He returned to the clipper and ordered everyone to return, forgetting his transportation mission this time!

……

"Tsk tsk, the Uzumaki clan, once Konoha's staunch ally, has now ended up with their country and village destroyed. The actions of Konoha Village are really chilling..."

More than an hour later, looking at the ruins of the Uzumaki Village in front of him, looking at the place where the Uzumaki clan should have lived, and looking at the several dilapidated small villages along the way, Li Mo uttered extremely sarcastic words.

The Uzumaki clan!

This was one of the famous ninja clans in the ninja world. They had their own [Land of Whirlpools] and a ninja village where the clan gathered. They were born with a huge amount of chakra and were good at sealing techniques. Even the ninja forehead protectors of Konoha Village were printed with their logo, which shows how close their relationship was.

The Uzumaki clan used to be a staunch ally of Konoha Village, and were distant relatives of the Senju clan who founded Konoha Village. The wife of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was a princess of the Uzumaki clan, and she herself became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki through the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique. It can be said that Konoha Village and the Uzumaki clan were staunch allies. However, even this staunch ally was destroyed by Konoha Village.

According to the information Li Mo knew, the Uzumaki clan was destroyed during the period when the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power during the Second Ninja World War!

At that time, Konoha, without the First and Second Hokage, had lost its ability to dominate the Ninja World. The Second Ninja World War greatly consumed Konoha's vitality, and made the other major ninja villages realize the weakness of Konoha Village.

At the same time, during this critical period, the Uzumaki clan, as a staunch ally of Konoha Village, whose sealing techniques could perfectly restrain the tailed beasts, brought it a crisis of destruction.

In an era when there were no super-kage-level strongmen like the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Shura of the Ninja World Uchiha Madara, the tailed beasts were undoubtedly the secret weapons of each village. Therefore, the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan posed a serious threat to several major ninja villages.

Even though Konoha Village once distributed the tailed beasts to the four major ninja villages and Takigakure, it doesn't mean that these ninja villages will be grateful to Konoha Village. I'm afraid that many people in Konoha Village, including those in Konoha Village, would wonder why Hashirama Senju did such a stupid thing to aid the enemy. However, when the first Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Shura of the Ninja World Uchiha Madara were around, they could indeed ignore the nine tailed beasts. But after the First Ninja World War, Konoha Village had no capital to ignore the tailed beasts at all.

At this time, the Jinchuriki who contained the tailed beasts was already regarded as an important trump card of their own ninja village. Naturally, the eyes of the several major ninja villages were looking at the Uzumaki clan uncomfortably. What's more, the Uzumaki clan and the Land of Whirlpools were still Konoha's staunch allies. At this time, the Uzumaki clan was still isolated outside the borders of the Land of Fire, which was simply courting death.

As a result, the Uzumaki clan was directly attacked by the joint forces of multiple ninja villages, including the Cloud Village, the Mist Village, the Iwagakure and the Taki Village. Excluding the Sand Village, which really did not gain any advantage at that time, the other major ninja villages joined forces to easily destroy the Uzumaki clan. The wealth and ninjutsu of the Uzumaki clan were divided up. For example, a lot of their unique sealing techniques information fell into the hands of the major ninja villages, allowing them to gain something and have a relatively stable jinchūriki. The negative contrast is the One-Tail Shukaku of the Sand Village, whose insufficient sealing techniques resulted in the defects of the One-Tail jinchūriki.

If that were the case, Li Mo would not have made such a judgment on Konoha Village, but the chess pieces he arranged and the ninja souls he gathered in the past few years have already made many secrets of the Second Ninja World War and even the First Ninja World War known. For example, after the Uzumaki clan encountered a surprise attack, their first response was to resist while asking Konoha for help, but Konoha Village delayed for almost half a month before making a decision, and the Uzumaki clan was directly destroyed by the joint efforts of several major ninja villages.

The powerful strength of the Uzumaki clan was also demonstrated at this time. Although they were defeated and exterminated as a clan against several ninja villages, they were not completely wiped out. A few women and children escaped under the cover of elite clan members. When the troops sent by Konoha finally arrived at the Land of Whirlpools, all that was left was a devastated battlefield and corpses everywhere. They were of no use at all except collecting corpses.

Because of this, the few Uzumaki clan members who managed to escape, even if they had to run to other small countries or remote areas and struggle to survive, even if they had to endure harsh criticism, hunger or being spied on, no one would choose to seek refuge in Konoha Village, their former ally.

"...Sure enough, this place has been searched very cleanly~!"

Looking at the Uzumaki clan tomb that was obviously simply handled and even the tombstone was incomplete, and the [Uzushio Village] that was plundered and even dug thirty feet deep, Li Mo knew with his intuition that there would be nothing to gain, so he released his [Shadow Legion] and ordered: "Then, look carefully for the Uzumaki clan heritage such as the [Death Mask] to see if it still exists!"

I saw that the shadow behind Li Mo spread out directly. In the dark shadow area that the sunlight could not penetrate, one black shadow ninja appeared in it, and their eyes were blood red and they could use some of the ninjutsu or abilities they had in their previous lives.

This is one of the development directions of Li Mo to thoroughly integrate [Power of Black Shadow] into [Shadow Escape], in order to absorb the ninja souls of the Naruto world and transform them. The newly emerged [Shadow Corps] is based on the situation of the ninja souls before their death, and retains more or less proficiency. This does not mean that the [Shadow Corps] is weaker than ninjas of the same level. These shadow soldiers who are fearless and have tacit cooperation have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary ninjas, and can also play a certain role in facing stronger enemies.

However, what Li Mo needed now was not a battle. These shadow soldiers simply turned into shadows and disappeared. Even the several samurai and ninjas who followed them could not detect how these shadow soldiers left!

……

When the shadow soldiers began their search, Li Mo leisurely examined the entire Whirlpool Kingdom and the ruins of the Whirlpool Clan. He then estimated that the Whirlpool Clan had a population of about 3,000 at its peak, and that the Whirlpool Kingdom was probably about 5,000 square kilometers in area.

This number is already a huge number for a ninja clan. Even if most of them are ordinary ninjas and the elderly, children, women and children, the Uzumaki clan is good at sealing techniques. They can lead dozens of special jonin or jonin-level strongmen. They can even easily seal a tailed beast with sealing techniques. Other small ninja villages, even the No. 1 small ninja village like the Rain Village, would probably not dare to PK with the Uzumaki clan rashly.

However, the Uzumaki clan was still not strong enough in front of the five major ninja villages. Even if they faced the weakest Sand Village, they might be defeated in the end. Otherwise, they would not have sought an alliance with the Konoha Village. Even the two most outstanding women in the family married the Hokage. Unfortunately, they did not expect that the Konoha Village during the Third Hokage's time would betray such a staunch ally of the Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki clan. The little princess Uzumaki Shinaiku who was sent to Konoha Village in advance was detained, the Uzumaki clan was exterminated and only a few members escaped.

Not to mention the Land of Whirlpools. When the Uzumaki clan was in charge and had the support of the Fire Nation, this small country was still very wealthy and enviable. But the Uzumaki clan was destroyed by the coalition forces of several major ninja villages. Naturally, the wealthy small country of the Land of Whirlpools would not be left behind. Gangs of forces with the names of "thieves" and "rebel ninjas" appeared one after another, and since the end of the Second Ninja World War, the Land of Whirlpools has become a poor and chaotic place.

Just as Li Mo was looking at the Whirlpool Country and sighing, feeling that he seemed to be slightly familiar with this situation, he suddenly received a telepathic message from the black shadow soldier. He immediately led the team to a remote direction of the Whirlpool Country:

"Finally found it! Where's the Uzumaki clan's legacy~!"

Chapter 59 The Legacy of the Uzumaki Clan

In the northern part of the Whirlpool Country, near an abandoned port that once traded with the Fire Country, in a remote and desolate forest, there is an abandoned temple that looks like it is dedicated to a certain god. There is nothing strange about it.

In the ninja world where wars continue, religion is definitely something that brings spiritual comfort to the lower-class civilians. Even if a ninja discovered this abandoned temple, it seemed that there were no people living in it. Apart from the broken statues that once seemed mighty and powerful, there was only a wall with different masks hanging on it, and the masks that looked like they were used to play ghosts and gods in some rituals were still intact.

After all, ninjas have no interest in non-target things. For places like this that involve faith, even if ninjas from a large ninja village come, they are sure that there are only ordinary people inside and there is nothing worth paying attention to, so they naturally have no interest in doing things like cutting down mountains and destroying temples. Moreover, in the world of Naruto, most people are like in Japan before Li Mo traveled through time. Feudal superstitions are still very popular, and naturally few people would do rash things like offending ghosts and gods.

If there were gold, silver, treasures, or food supplies in the temple, the so-called "thieves" and "rebel ninjas" who had been to the Whirlpool Country would probably take action. Even those hungry refugees who were desperate would not mind abandoning their so-called beliefs and fears and rushing into the temple at the critical moment of life and death. However, in an abandoned temple dedicated to the worship of ghosts and gods, no one would be so idle as to do anything to offend the ghosts and gods.

For Li Mo, when he followed the shadow soldiers here, he was naturally not blinded by the surface situation. He quickly set his sights on the [Mask of Death] and the statue of the deity, and immediately confirmed that this dilapidated temple had goods!

"These... should be the death masks used in the sealing technique [Shiki Fuujin], right? Interesting. I'm afraid that if the jonin didn't know about this, they might have overlooked it..."

Seeing this dilapidated temple, Li Mo directly asked people to guard outside, walked straight in and picked up a [Death Mask]. He immediately determined the extremely obscure sealing technique in it, then looked up at the statue that made his heart move, identified it and made a positive judgment. He couldn't help but sighed: "If you are not proficient in sealing techniques, you may not notice the problem with this statue. It seems that this is one of the backup plans left by the Uzumaki clan. It's a pity that there are not many Uzumaki clan members left after [Uzumaki Village] was destroyed, and no one from the clan stayed in the Uzumaki Kingdom!"

Li Mo had immediately discovered the abnormality of the seemingly ordinary mask and statue with his keen intuition. There was no chakra or abnormal traces on them, but only people who were proficient in sealing techniques or had keen perception would notice the abnormality and know that this was definitely not a truly ordinary item.

In the area of ​​Li Mo's eyes, the pupils have become as bright as gems. In some fairy-tale worlds, this ability would be called "Spiritual Eyes". It is the ability to see the circles of subtle sealing techniques deep inside the material of the "Death Mask".

As for the statue, most of it is made of ordinary materials, except for the forearm part near the left hand, which is a secret thing formed by a sealing ritual inside.

This is obviously not an accident, but something left behind by someone with ulterior motives!

There is no doubt that there are not many people who can do this. In the Land of Whirlpools, there is only one such person, and that is the Uzumaki clan, who are their masters. They are the backup they left behind.

Just from the fact that a few remaining members of the Uzumaki clan managed to escape even when they were surrounded by the coalition forces of several major ninja villages, we can tell that the ninja clans that have survived the war-torn era definitely have a very keen sense of crisis. Even when facing desperate situations, they will have various back-up plans so that the entire clan will not be destroyed.

what?

Why do you think the Uchiha clan was destroyed?

Sorry, that was purely because the clan leader took the lead in being bad and indecisive, and there were three mentally ill strong men in the clan who rebelled. They lacked a real understanding of the ruthlessness of Konoha Village, and one careless move led to the near annihilation of the entire clan, leaving only a few psychopaths and quasi-psychotics.

The Uzumaki clan obviously does not have the kind of psychopathic members who would choose to stab their own family in the back. Plus, since they are staying in the Whirlpool Country founded by their own clan, the clan leaders of all generations would naturally consider what to do if they encounter a strong enemy one day. In addition to the option of resisting to the end, they also prepared plans to disperse and break out in case they are defeated. For example, if there are survivors of the Uzumaki clan who escaped, it was because of the escape plan left behind by the Uzumaki clan.

However, the Uzumaki clan never imagined that one day they would encounter a joint siege by the elite forces of several large ninja villages. The Konoha Village, with which they had a close relationship, dragged its feet and did not send troops, which directly led to the near-annihilation of the Uzumaki clan in Uzushio Village. The few Uzumaki clan members who occasionally escaped from the Land of Whirlpools no longer trusted the Konoha Village. Coupled with the fact that other ninja villages in the ninja world were eyeing the Uzumaki clan's inheritance and bloodline, no survivors of the Uzumaki clan returned to the Land of Whirlpools at all.

The Land of Whirlpools became impoverished. For example, one of the secret inheritances left by the Uzumaki clan was naturally unknown and became dilapidated. It was known that all the strong men of the Uzumaki clan here had died in the battle. Although the coalition forces of the other major ninja villages did not obtain all the sealing techniques collections of the Uzumaki clan, they still had a good harvest and plundered the Land of Whirlpools. The late-coming Konoha Village only collected the corpses.

In this way, one of the legacies left by the Uzumaki clan, this one that contains the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique inheritance and more than a dozen [Masks of Death], has become the property of Li Mo, a time traveler who knows the plot and came to the Uzumaki Country to look for treasure.

"However, as for the Uzumaki clan, I remember there should be a few orphans. The two from Konoha Village and Rain Country are not to be mentioned, and the one from Kusagakure Village later..."
