Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: Apprentice Nagato; The Uzumaki Clan Relocated!
Third Mizukage is sprinting desperately.
“As long as I’m in the ocean, I can utilize the Hydrification Technique to escape.”
Seeing the coastline approaching, Mizukage knew he needed to flee. Unable to resist, he glanced behind him.
At that moment, he caught sight of a pair of piercing red Sharingan eyes. Suddenly, the Third Mizukage stumbled.
“No! I’m caught in Uchiha’s illusion.”
Terrified, Third Mizukage realized he had made a fatal error.
In the next instant, the Hyuga patriarch approached from behind and unleashed the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms.
Puff puff!
Struck at his pressure points, Mizukage felt paralyzed. At that moment, Mizukage found himself unable to muster any chakra, rendered a mere punching bag.
Puff!
Before Mizukage could collapse, his head was severed by a kunai.
The Hyuga patriarch froze, because the head wasn’t severed by him.
“Next time, remember not to punch so hard.”
The Uchiha patriarch grinned, holding up the severed head.
On the cliff, Chiba was a bit surprised to witness the cooperative beheading of Mizukage by the two clan leaders.
He hadn’t anticipated such a perfect outcome from the cooperation of the Hyuga and Uchiha.
“Compression, retrieve!”
Raising his palm, Chiba’s heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, the colossal dung ball on the coast collapsed layer by layer, swooping back with a ‘swish’, and landed into Chiba’s palm.
At that moment, Uzumaki Zhouxuan was still in shock.
How long had it been? The formidable invaders were gone?
Especially the impact force of that colossal dung ball was even more formidable than the Tailed Beast Bomb.
“Chief Uzumaki?”
Someone tapped Uzumaki on the shoulder. Startled, Uzumaki Zhouxuan regained his composure.
He witnessed Hokage departing with a group of ninjas.
“Quick! Prepare for the farewell banquet.”
The Uzumaki clan found themselves quite busy that day. The farewell banquet began before the welcome banquet concluded.
At the banquet, Uzumaki Zhouxuan expressed his sincere gratitude once more.
“No need to thank us, all of you can relocate to Konoha.”
After waving his hand, Chiba got straight to the point.
The Uzumaki family was too far from Konoha Village. Chiba could help once, but perhaps not a second time.
If Kirigakure had launched a large-scale attack from the start, the Uzumura would have been lost.
“This…”
Seeing the hesitation on the Uzumaki patriarch’s face, Chiba made a generous offer.
Gold bars!
Chiba offered 500 gold bars in exchange for the Uzumaki family’s decision to relocate to Konoha.
After the banquet, children from the Uzumaki family approached Chiba one by one.
Gold bars were just one condition. Another condition was that he could accept a member of the Uzumaki family as his disciple.
With this bond, the Uzumaki family could integrate better into Konoha Village.
Looking at the red-haired children before him, Chiba inquired about their names.
“Master Hokage, my name is Uzumaki Masaki.”
“My name is Uzumaki Nagato.”
“My name is Uzumaki Chuan.”
…
Walking past the children briskly, Chiba paused. Then, he took a few steps back to approach a child.
“What did you say your name was?”
“M… my name is Uzumaki Nagato.”
The child seemed nervous, unsure if he had offended the noble Hokage.
At that moment, Chiba appeared thoughtful.
“Nagato is indeed of the Uzumaki clan. But according to the original story, he should be in the Land of Rain…”
“If I hadn’t come to aid the Uzumaki clan today, Uzumaki Village would have been breached. In that case, Nagato might indeed have fled to the Land of Rain…”
“So, did I alter Madara’s plan?”
The more he pondered, the more plausible it seemed to Chiba.
He knew that Madara’s Rinnegan must be entrusted to the Uzumaki clan.
Only this clan possessed ample chakra to conceive the Rinnegan.
With this realization, Chiba smiled. Since he intervened, he’ll intervened wholeheartedly.
“Nagato, from now on, you’ll be my top disciple!”
Ruffling the child’s hair, Chiba beamed.
“Also, there’s no time like the present. Patriarch Uzumaki, let’s begin the relocation today.”
Under Chiba’s supervision, the Uzumaki clan commenced their relocation.
Chiba’s directive was clear: the entire family must relocate, leaving no member behind.
To ensure their safety, hundreds of Konoha Shinobi escorted the Uzumaki clan, maximizing their security.
In the skies, Chiba rode atop the sand mat, overseeing everything.
On the ground, layers of Konoha Shinobi guarded the procession.
The warmth and care the Uzumaki family experienced made them feel truly at home.
Their family had never received such grand treatment before.
It wasn’t just the Uzumaki Clan relocating.
Chiba directed his subordinates to hold the Uzumaki patriarch’s tokens and simultaneously urged other villagers in the Uzumaki country to relocate.
Though civilian relocation was bound to be slow, with the Uzumaki’s tokens, the process went smoothly.
Who wouldn’t want to move to the Land of Fire?
After all, the Fire Country was the nexus of the entire ninja world. Moreover, relocating to the Land of Fire promised rewards of gold bars.
After one day, the Uzumaki clan entered the territory of the Land of Fire.
At this juncture, Chiba prepared to depart.
He was heading to the border of the Land of Rain to deal with Rain Shinobi and Hanzo.
“Master Hokage, hurry! We don’t need an escort,” Uzumaki said, embarrassed.
“Bon voyage!”
Patting each other on the shoulder, Chiba summoned Hyuga and the Uchiha patriarch.
“You two clans, select a few elites to escort the Uzumaki clan back to the village. Remember to scout carefully along the way.”
After issuing a solemn warning, Chiba’s expression turned grave.
But upon reflection, he still felt uneasy.
“You two clans, accompany the Uzumaki clan back to the village!”
When Chiba said this, the two leaders were stunned.
“Our two clans, escorting them?”
“Isn’t this…”
The two hesitated. However, seeing Chiba’s solemn expression, they relented.
“Remember, on your journey back to the village, you may encounter formidable foes!”
“Strong enemies?”
“You could call them that…”
Now, the two dared not be careless. If Chiba considered them formidable enemies, it demanded their utmost attention.
