Several ninjas suddenly rushed out of the Naga River, their ninja swords flashing coldly, and threw out strings of water droplets, killing two Konoha ninjas.

Ye Guang clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected of the Anbu, who control the dark side of Konoha, they even kill their own people for secret purposes.

The large-scale mobilization of Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja could not have been done quietly; some ninja would inevitably have witnessed it by chance.

The Anbu (Anbu) will not allow this news to reach the village and will not imprison the ninjas, lest something be discovered later.

After eliminating three waves of Konoha ninja who might be passing on intelligence, Captain Black Gorilla was finally satisfied and said, "Let's go! Back to the Land of Whirlpools! Let's find Lord Danzo!"

Ye Guang estimated the distance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure. Based on the positions of the Kirigakure and Kumogakure fleets, even if Konoha received the intelligence today, it wouldn't be able to send reinforcements in time.

By the time the Senju clan's reinforcements arrived at Uzushiogakure, the village would have already been wiped out.

It was already past midnight when the Black Gorilla Squadron arrived at Uzushiogakure Village.

Flames soared into the sky in the direction of the Hidden Village of Whirlpools.

Just as the light was about to rush forward, it suddenly stopped.

Logically speaking, the alliance between Konoha and Uzushiogakure implies a mutual obligation to defend each other.

If one ninja village is in danger, the other ninja village has an obligation to provide assistance.

We cannot infer this from common sense now.

"Where are you going! Stop right there!"

An ANBU ninja, following his preconceived notions, accelerated toward Uzushiogakure (Hidden Village of Whirlpools) before being called back by Captain Black Gorilla.

Captain Black Gorilla led his squadron to turn around and arrive at the mountaintop barrier where they had previously been hiding.

Upon entering the barrier, it was still crowded with many ANBU ninjas.

At the mountaintop, Danzo remained calm and composed, sitting on a rock and coldly gazing in the direction of Uzushiogakure.

This is the mountaintop, offering a panoramic view of the entire Whirlpool Village.

From a distance, half of the village was shrouded in mist, while the other half flickered with lightning like a dense swarm of fireflies.

Fires were raging throughout the village; people were systematically setting fires from the outside in.

The Konoha ninja who were stopped and killed saw the truth: a large number of Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja attacked Uzushiogakure.

Ye Guang was haphazardly pondering the situation.

The Hidden Leaf Village is currently facing its biggest crisis since the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, took office: the change of the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

This was during the Second Shinobi World War. The wars in the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Rain were not as important as the change of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Losing a local war would at most mean losing a small country's share of the mission for Konoha, which would be taken back in the future.

If something were to happen to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the entire village could be razed to the ground.

In the original story, the Nine-Tails went berserk, causing countless deaths and injuries in Konoha, including the Fourth Hokage and many villagers.

That disaster was also the beginning of the original storyline.

Mito Uzumaki was too old and frail; her physical functions were declining, her chakra reserves were dwindling, and her seals were unstable.

To be on the safe side, Konoha plans to select another Uzumaki clan member, a genius like Mito Uzumaki, to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, the Uzumaki clan had their own ideas.

During the two Shinobi World Wars, Konoha grew weaker and weaker with each battle, suffering heavy losses and no longer able to dominate the shinobi world like it did during the First Hokage's reign.

Continuing to entrust the village's safety to the oath of Konoha is becoming increasingly dangerous.

For the safety and continuation of the Uzumaki clan, the Uzumaki clan plans to use their powerful sealing techniques to seal a tailed beast.

In this way, the Uzumaki clan had a trump card to continuously deter the five great ninja villages.

Therefore, Uzumaki Village refused Danzo's request and did not send Princess Uzumaki to Konoha Village.

The cracks in the alliance between the two sides began from this point.

The Hidden Village of Uzumaki dispatched a sealing team, along with Kushina Uzumaki, to seal the wild Three-Tails.

It's true that the Three-Tails doesn't have a Jinchūriki, but the Three-Tails has always belonged to Kirigakure; it's just that there's no Jinchūriki for the time being.

It's all the fault of the idealistic First Hokage, who distributed the Tailed Beasts to various ninja villages but not to Uzushiogakure.

Knowing that Uzushiogakure intended to seal the Three-Tails, Kirigakure promptly dispatched several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, thwarting Uzushiogakure's operation.

Kirigakure is not made of dough; it not only stopped Uzushiogakure's actions but also angrily retaliated against Uzushiogakure.

Yunren also got involved.

The Third Raikage was very strong. On the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs, Konoha was at a disadvantage, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many Cloud Ninjas there.

The number of Kirigakure and Kumogakure ninja who came to besiege the Uzumaki clan was far too large; the two ninja villages were preparing for a major battle against Konoha.

If the two ninja villages win, they can obtain the sealing techniques they desperately need from Uzushiogakure to control the tailed beasts.

The Nine-Tails is one of the foundations of Konoha, and the tailed beasts of the two ninja villages are also their foundation.

Unfortunately, Konoha won't send any support.

All Konoha wanted was Kushina Uzumaki.

Konoha will never allow the strongest genius princess, Uzumaki, to become the Three-Tails' jinchūriki.

Kushina Uzumaki is the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki chosen by Konoha Village, and this matter cannot be lost.

Konoha is willing to give everything for the Nine-Tails.

There are no Senju clan members in Konoha's upper echelons, no one cares about any bullshit alliances anymore, and no one cares about the Uzumaki clan.

Ye Guang looked at the village of Uzushiogakure through his telescope and saw many scenes of disaster.

Chapter 25 As Cruel as a Beast

The walls of the hidden village of Wochao collapsed with a crash.

The Yunren rushed in through the gap in the wall.

The Great Snail River, which runs through the village of Whirlpool Hidden Village, has a fence at each of the village's walls. Water can pass through, but boats cannot pass without permission.

The fence was destroyed by the Mist Ninja, who jumped into the village from the river.

On the south bank of the village lived ordinary villagers, merchants, laborers, and the like.

The Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja burned down every house, dragged the villagers out of their homes, and hacked them to death one by one.

They used this bloody method to tell the Vortex Clan that they would not give up until they obtained the top-tier sealing technique tonight.

Having learned of the crucial information, the Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja, who did not send reinforcements from Konoha, became even more reckless.

Ye Guang put down his binoculars, tilted his head slightly, and glanced in Danzo's direction.

Danzo's place remained quiet.

The three captains and two assistant advisors remained silent, like withered trees, awaiting Danzo's orders.

Ye Guang was a little confused. Shouldn't Konoha prioritize rescuing Kushina Uzumaki?

The number of Kirigakure and Kumogakure ninja is enough to wage a local war against Konoha. If we wait any longer, Kushina Uzumaki will either be kidnapped or killed.

Just then, a barrier suddenly appeared inside the Hidden Tide Village!

Four Purple Flame Formation!

On the north bank of the Hidden Tide Village, a rectangular array of four purple flames rose up, enclosing most of the north bank area.

The dark purple light of the Four Purple Flame Array seemed almost tangible against the backdrop of the surrounding firelight.

The Uzumaki clan is skilled not only in sealing techniques but also in barrier ninjutsu. Or rather, barrier techniques are a special type of sealing technique.

A reckless Cloud Ninja leaped into the air, held his ninja sword upside down, and stabbed it fiercely into the barrier.

This Cloud Ninja was too hasty and crashed into the barrier, where he was burned to death.

The Four Purple Flame Array has an extremely high temperature; any creature that comes into contact with it will be quickly carbonized by the purple flames.

Seeing this, the Mist Ninja unleashed a combined Water Release technique.

With a large river in the center of the village as its water source, water consumption is minimal.

A torrent of water, like a tidal wave, crashed down on the Four Purple Flame Formation.

Waves of water were scorched by the Four Purple Flames Array, producing even more water mist.

The mist obscured the sky and the moon, instantly enveloping the hidden village of Whirlpool.

Judging from the scale of the mist, the Four Purple Flame Array possessed immense and exceptionally robust energy.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "No wonder Danzo was so calm. He knew about Uzushiogakure's trump card."

The Four Purple Flame Formation of the Hidden Tide Village is enough to hold out for a period of time.

Logically speaking, as long as the crisis in Uzushiogakure is dragged on and Konoha provides support, the situation will turn around.

Unfortunately, we can't make inferences based on common sense now.

I wonder if the Uzumaki clan will despair after learning Konoha's true attitude.

It's a pity for the villagers outside the Four Purple Flame Formation.

The massacre by the Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja began to advance from the outer perimeter of the village towards the center.

Where the firelight shines, there lies death.

The Yatagarasu flew through the air, but the villagers didn't know how to retaliate; its attack would hasten their deaths.

The tortoise opened its enormous mouth and spewed out fierce winds, blowing away the water mist that lingered over the village.

The mist has lessened considerably, and the night light is visible again.

Through the telescope, Ye Guang saw that the Cloud Ninja and Mist Ninja had sent representatives to negotiate with the Uzumaki Clan inside the Four Purple Flame Formation.

Inside the Four Purple Flame Formation was the leader of Uzumaki Village, who was also the head of the Uzumaki clan. He gritted his teeth and uttered each word carefully: "Konoha and Uzumaki Village! We will take our revenge on you tenfold!"

The representative of Kirigakure is Suigetsu Hozuki, who carries the greatsword Samehada and says:

"Konoha may retaliate against us, but whether your Uzushiogakure has that opportunity depends on your choices."

Let's make a deal. Hand over your sealing techniques, and we'll leave immediately.

Don't try anything funny. The deal is only complete if I can seal that giant spirit turtle with a sealing technique.

You'd better hurry, or all the villagers of Uzushiogakure will die.

If you disagree, then you'll have to wait for me to obtain the sealing technique from your corpses.

The little village of Uzushiogakure dares to covet our village's Three-Tails. Will they one day try to covet the Two-Tails of Kumogakure?

What, do you think you're Hashirama Senju, wanting to collect all the tailed beasts?

"Sealing techniques? We can't obtain them, and your Uzumaki clan has even less right to."

Not far away, Yuga listened to the argument at the edge of the barrier while looking up at the sky.

This Four Purple Flame Array covers an area that is too large to cover, and has no top.

If the situation becomes critical, she is responsible for using the long spear White Heron to escort Princess Kushina out.

Watching the villagers being slaughtered one by one outside, Yuga Uzumaki felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Among those people were a woman selling breakfast, an uncle delivering goods from a cart, and an elderly woman who often sat on the street corner basking in the sun.

Those people who were once so vivid in my memory have all died out there.

In order to exert pressure, the Mist Ninja and Cloud Ninja deliberately pushed the villagers to the side of the barrier and killed them there.

The viscous blood flowed on the ground, turning into a blackish-gray mist after flowing onto the Four Purple Flame Array.

All civilians despise ninjas, and when ninjas want to kill, they are as cruel as ferocious beasts.

Ninja training focuses on the art of killing, including both the ability to kill and the psychology of killing.

Yuga closed her eyes in agony, but her screams continued.

The Whirlpool Clan didn't want to abandon the villagers outside either, but the enemy's appearance was too sudden, and their numbers were too great.

The reconnaissance ninja squad that Uzushiogakure had deployed on the outskirts was leaked to the Kirigakure and Kumogakure by spies.

The enemy pinpointed each reconnaissance squad and attacked them simultaneously.
