"It served as a warning, not only revealing the truth behind the annihilation of the Whirlpool Clan, but also leaving a cautionary message." Whirlpool Yuga asked:

"Fox, would the Konoha Anbu really harm Young Master Nawaki?"

He's the young patriarch of the Senju clan, a genius of Konoha!

Nightlight nodded and said:

"Don't underestimate the determination of Konoha's leadership."

They were all ninjas with exceptionally strong wills, and they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

If the truth is exposed and the Senju clan breaks with the Konoha leadership, it will be Konoha's greatest disaster.

Given the Senju clan's strong emphasis on family, a break is highly likely.

In this Ninja World War, Konoha will suffer a devastating defeat due to its internal conflict.

Right now, we're only fighting Iwagakure. But when the time comes, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure will all pounce on us and tear Konoha apart.

During this period, Konoha Village has been on high alert, keeping a close watch on Lord Mito, Princess Kushina, and the Senju clan.

My regular task in the Dark Division is to monitor the Thousand Hands clan's territory.

When we were in the Land of Waves, I reminded you not to contact the Senju clan for the time being, because I wanted to wait until the turmoil subsided before making further plans.

Senju Hashira learned the truth and tried to tell the Senju clan's higher-ups, but the Anbu discovered his plan early on.

Yuja lowered her head and said sadly:

"I happened to meet my cousin, Senju Kashiwa, in the Land of Grass. He was shocked that I was still alive."

Under his persistent questioning, I told him some facts, and my cousin, being very clever, immediately guessed the truth.

He was also incredulous and worried about the division within Konoha Village, saying he would find a way to handle it properly after returning to the village.

The higher-ups in Konoha Village don't cherish Konoha, but his cousin, Senju Kashiwa, always considers Konoha's interests in everything he does.

Does that mean kind-hearted people deserve to be bullied?

Unexpectedly, his cousin was discovered by the secret service, and he sacrificed himself again, winning an opportunity to pass on intelligence.

Thank you also for risking your life to act as our inside man.

In the power struggle within Konoha Village, those who cherish Konoha the most are more easily manipulated by the higher-ups.

On the contrary, Orochimaru, who doesn't take Konoha seriously, is someone the higher-ups can't do anything about. They can only appease him, and nothing happens when he uses Konoha children for experiments.

The Achilles' heel is Konoha, which is the Senju clan's Achilles' heel.

The invincible person who has no father or mother, no children, and no ties is the one everyone fears.

Even the most vicious villains wouldn't dare provoke an invincible person.

If you grit your teeth and decide to die, you'll be barefoot while everyone else is wearing shoes.

A heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

The two found a hole in a tree and crawled inside.

"Youjia, how many members of the Vortex Clan are left?"

"32 people."

Upon hearing this number, Ye Guang fell silent.

Unexpectedly, the once renowned Uzumaki clan has been reduced to only 32 members.

Why choose the Land of Rain?

"The Land of Rain is a battleground on four fronts. There's Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Konoha, Hanzo of Amegakure, and the rebel groups that don't submit to Hanzo. The situation here is the most chaotic," said Yuka Uzumaki.

"The more chaotic it is, the easier it is for us to hide."

We were in the Land of Grass before. The Land of Grass is the sphere of influence of the Hidden Stone Village, which has a strong control over each village.

After the Land of Grass was exposed, the Land of Grass captured a member of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Kanon, who was skilled in medical ninjutsu.

I wanted to save her, but I couldn't. It was while I was saving Xiangyin that I met my cousin, Senju Kashiwa.

According to Ye Guang, Uzumaki Kanon is the mother of Uzumaki Karin from the original work.

He said, "When I find an opportunity, I will tell the young clan chief of the rope tree and ask him to rescue the whirlpool Xiangyin."

Nightlight added in her mind, "If Senju Nawaki could survive..."

Yuja has been very tired lately and is on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for her cousin Thousand-Handed Cypress and the fox's help, she felt she wouldn't have survived.

Seeing a fox at this moment feels so comforting.

Outside the tree hollow, the rain was drizzling.

Inside the tree hollow, Youjia gently kissed Yeguang's neck, then quickly removed her clothes, soon becoming covered in fragrant sweat in the passion.

"Fox, how come you've gotten so much better in figure?"

You Jiaxin said that the fox's Thousand Hands Bloodline Limit was getting stronger and stronger.

An hour later, Ye Guang had to admit that the Vortex Clan had a very strong physique.

No wonder the Senju clan wants to form a marriage alliance with the Uzumaki clan; only then can they be evenly matched.

"Youjia, the Nine-Tails' transfer seal is imminent. I've come to learn about the Nine-Tails' seal. To your knowledge, what technique can affect the Nine-Tails' seal?"

I have a feeling that the Nine-Tails' transfer seal won't go smoothly, and I'm very worried about Lady Mito and Princess Kushina.

As Yuga slowly put on her clothes, she said:

"A technique that affects the Nine-Tails seal?"

As far as I know, there is only one sealing technique that can affect the Nine-Tails' seal: the Contract Release Technique. That is a secret technique of the Uzumaki clan, rarely passed down to outsiders.

Another factor that could affect the Nine-Tails' seal wasn't a sealing technique, but the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Guang said:

"The Book of Seals of the Vortex Clan is in the hands of the Thousand-Handed Linmu Clan Chief, and the risk of the contract being broken and leaked is very low."

Then we must be careful to guard against the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha and Senju clans have a long-standing feud, and the Uchiha clan might take advantage of the situation to hinder the sealing of the Nine-Tails.

Yu Jia, you guys hide first.

Lord Mito is too old, and since the Battle of Ushigayama, he has been sober for very little time each day.

"Everything will be alright once Princess Kushina grows up."

“Okay, I understand. We will wait for Princess Kushina to grow up.”

Nightlight left the tree hole and walked into the rain, the teleportation technique disappearing.

Whirlpool Yujia leaned against the wooden wall of the tree hole, feeling the lingering warmth of the fox.

The fox is right. Everything will be alright once Princess Kushina grows up.

Yuga returned to the rainforest where the remnants of the Whirlpool were hiding.

They built treehouses here and barely managed to survive.

Three children, 26 women, and three men—that's the entirety of the Whirlpool Clan.

According to the custom in the ninja world, women change their surname after marriage. However, the women of the Uzumaki clan have made an agreement that they will not change their surname after marriage, and their children will take their surname, Uzumaki.

The Whirlpool Clan must not be wiped out; they are the last spark of the Whirlpool Clan.

Yuka thought to herself, "The fox's Thousand Hands Bloodline Limit is quite good. It would be wonderful if I could have a fox child."

"Honestly, he only gave it to me twice in an hour. I should have kept it from him..."

As she thought about it, Yuka Whirlpool laughed to herself.

A woman with a child happened to pass by and asked, "Youjia, did something good happen?"

"Oh, no, no." Youjia teased the little boy, "Has Nagato been eating well lately?"

Chapter 71 The Death of Rope Tree

Ten days later, a female ninja with a vortex-like aura rushed into the remote rainforest, crying as she ran: "Yoga! Yoga! Something terrible has happened!"

Yu Jia jumped down from the treehouse.

Hearing the shrill scream, the other female ninjas rushed over as well.

After a few words, the women of the Whirlpool Clan collapsed into the rain.

Only Whirlpool Yujia stood there with difficulty, her face upturned to the sky, letting her tears flow continuously, mingling with the rainwater and falling into the mud at her feet.

The young patriarch of the Senju clan, Senju Nawaki, is dead!

The fox is a spy for the Senju clan in the Dark Division. Even though they had already uncovered the intelligence and had already warned the young clan leader in advance.

However, the young clan leader still died.

It is said that Iwagakure claimed responsibility for the incident and proudly proclaimed that they killed the young head of the Senju clan and Konoha's most brilliant genius in ten years as retaliation for the Ushigayama trap.

With an experienced Jonin like Orochimaru protecting him, how could the young Nawaki clan leader possibly be killed by an Iwa ninja assassination squad?

Yu Jia then realized why the fox had emphasized not to tell the Thousand Hands Clan the truth for the time being.

After Tobirama's sacrifice, Konoha became unfamiliar and cold-blooded; everything was different.

The Uzumaki clan's desire to make Princess Kushina the Three-Tails' jinchūriki angered Konoha, leading to Uzumaki Village being ruthlessly abandoned by the village's leadership.

The Senju clan was in the same boat, having a conflict with Konoha over the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and now they too were facing misfortune.

The Konoha leadership cannot tolerate any opposition; the village must be ruled by the leadership.

Even if the Senju clan challenges the authority of the higher-ups, they will be met with ruthless retaliation.

Konoha Village is the Konoha Village of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura; it is no longer the Konoha Village of the past.

-

After leaving the vortex, Ye Guang first found her team in the Land of Rain.

Purple Cat quickly stepped forward and asked, "Captain, are you alright?"

Seeing Captain Fox captured by the Yatagarasu, Purple Cat was extremely worried. She circled around the luminous figure, checking on his condition.

"It's alright. I was captured by a summoning beast of the Vortex remnants, but I also obtained information about them," Nightlight said.

"Let's go back to the Grass Country camp and report the intelligence we've gathered."

Halfway there, an important piece of information spread throughout the Land of Rain.

Even ordinary people know that a major event has occurred among the ninjas: the genius of Konoha Village, the young patriarch of the Senju clan, has died.

The Iwa ninja spread the word that they were the ones who killed the young patriarch of the Senju clan.

Ye Guang immediately realized that Onoki was trying to embellish his own image.

Of course, Onoki wanted to kill Senju Nawaki; he wanted to kill all the genius boys in Konoha.

However, he wanted to kill Senju Nawaki, but the troops he sent were too few to kill him, and Senju Nawaki was personally protected by Orochimaru.

Sending too many troops will inevitably attract the attention of the Konoha front-line camp, escalating into a major battle and resulting in even greater losses.

Ye Guang roughly guessed the truth.

After receiving urgent intelligence that the Senju clan ninjas at the front lines had made contact with the remnants of the Uzumaki clan, Captain Yellow Dog returned in a rage, disguised himself as an Iwa ninja, and personally set a trap.

The frontline commander, Mitomon En, commissioned a mission for the Rope Tree Squad, and Captain Yellow Dog knew all the details of the mission.

The Yellow Dog Captain set a trap on the road and blew up the Thousand-Handed Rope Tree.

The person who designed the trap was no less powerful than Orochimaru is now.

Even with the warning in the dark, Senju Nawaki still died.

Nightlight devised a mission to track the long-lanced egret, ensuring he avoided becoming bait for a trap, as that would mean certain death.

Back at the front camp, in the distance, Ye Guang saw Orochimaru and Jiraiya, one on each side, guarding outside the morgue tent.

Inside the tent was Tsunade kneeling on the ground, weeping.
