Chapter 105 The Uzumaki Clan's Rebel! Uzumaki Asanobu!
"The second…"
After several seconds of hesitation, Fujiwara Tetsuya lowered his head.
"After being ambushed by Hidden Cloud Village,"
"we sent two waves of messengers to deliver the news."
"However, these messengers were intercepted and killed on their way here."
"Coupled with the leak of mission intelligence,"
"we have sufficient reason to suspect that Whirlpool Village has been infiltrated by those people!"
"Moreover, the position of this person, or these people, in Whirlpool Village is probably not low!"
Even though Fujiwara Tetsuya was cautious enough,
carefully choosing his words,
Uzumaki Ashina still erupted in fury!
"Shut up!"
A muffled roar!
Pierced the tranquility of the courtyard!
Even without turning around, Fujiwara Tetsuya knew that at this moment,
outside Uzumaki Ashina's room,
Ninja guards were densely packed.
As for why these people hadn't entered, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't know, nor did he have time to ponder the question.
Because!
The expert from the old era had appeared before him at some point!
Surging Chakra materialized,
constantly impacting Fujiwara Tetsuya's body!
"Brat! Do you know what you're saying?!"
"With just these few words, I can kill you!"
"Even if Hiruzen knows, he won't say much!"
A hoarse voice,
like the horn of death, constantly plucked at Fujiwara Tetsuya's heartstrings!
He understood what Uzumaki Ashina said, and he understood it very well.
His words,
were like a sharp blade, tearing open the most vulnerable part of Uzumaki Ashina's heart.
Similar to the main-branch conflict within the Hyuga Clan,
or the radical, moderate, and neutral factions within the Uchiha Clan,
how could the Uzumaki Clan, also a prominent clan in the Ninja World,
be as harmonious as they appeared on the surface?
Furthermore,
Uzumaki Ashina was old.
The remnants of the old era should have been buried with the old era long ago.
Yet, to this day,
this old man still held the power of the Uzumaki Clan and even the entire Land of Whirlpools.
The internal conflicts within the Uzumaki were by no means weaker than the internal struggles of other Ninja Villages.
"I know!"
"It is precisely because I know that,"
"I came to see you, taking such a great risk after careful consideration!"
"Heiji! Meihua! They are all my friends!"
"I don't want to hear news of their deaths one day!"
"Moreover, forgive my bluntness,"
"you should have suspected this point already!"
Even though his scalp tingled, Fujiwara Tetsuya still withstood the pressure.
"If you still think my words are baseless,"
"there's an opportunity right now."
"If we move fast enough, we should just make it."
Whether it was mocking the current state of the Uzumaki Clan,
or mocking his own current reaction,
Uzumaki Ashina suddenly began to laugh.
A low voice echoed through the room.
"What opportunity?"
"I returned this time by borrowing the identity of Uncle Uzumaki Watari!"
"Now, the news of Uncle Uzumaki Watari's return has spread throughout the Village!"
"If I'm not mistaken,"
"to cut off news about the Northern Sea Area, those people should be rushing to Uzumaki Watari's house right now!"
"Clan Head, why not send someone to check? Whether it's true or not, the answer will be clear then!"
Seeing Uzumaki Ashina's gaze gradually return to normal,
Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but let out a long breath.
He wondered who would be more stubborn, Hiruzen Sarutobi thirty years later or Uzumaki Ashina now.
"Tazumaru! Take your men and go to Watari's house!"
"If it's truly as this brat says,"
"bring all those people to me!"
Amidst Uzumaki Ashina's chilling voice, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Yes, Clan Head!"
Before Fujiwara Tetsuya could turn his head,
the figure vanished from the room.
After that figure left,
the room fell into a sudden silence.
Uzumaki Ashina turned and returned to his seat, looking at the map of Land of Whirlpools with his hands behind his back.
He also didn't ask what the third piece of intelligence Fujiwara Tetsuya mentioned was.
Facing Uzumaki Ashina's silence,
Fujiwara Tetsuya moved his lips, ultimately choosing to lower his head.
Give Uzumaki Ashina some time, that's good too.
Approximately ten minutes later,
Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly looked up.
His clone left at Uzumaki Watari's house had exploded!
Soon after,
this eerie silence was finally broken.
Outside the house, many hurried footsteps suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, the figure that had just disappeared reappeared behind Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Clan Head!"
"The people have been brought over! They're right outside the door!"
This time, Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't turn his head.
However, he still sensed the fluctuations in that person's heart from his slightly stiff tone.
This fish might be bigger than he imagined.
"Who is it?!"
Uzumaki Ashina moved his lips.
His expression grew increasingly dim.
The Uzumaki Clan!
Had passed nearly fifty years under his control.
He never thought that in his lifetime, he would face such a situation.
"It's Asashin!"
Hearing the answer, not only did Uzumaki Ashina's body tremble, but Fujiwara Tetsuya's body also couldn't help but shiver.
Uzumaki Asashin!
The radical faction of the Uzumaki Clan!
The third most important figure in the Uzumaki Clan, besides Uzumaki Ashina, who resided in Whirlpool Village, and Uzumaki Shigetsuna, who coordinated battles in the Northern Sea Area!
He had become an Elite Jonin of Land of Whirlpools at around twenty years old!
Now, he was even halfway into the Quasi-Kage realm!
Besides Uzumaki Shigetsuna,
he was the most promising person to inherit the position of Clan Head of the Uzumaki Clan!
Why would such a person ally with Hidden Cloud Village?
Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't understand.
Uzumaki Ashina also couldn't understand.
"Go… bring Asashin in!"
The passage of time seemed to have made Uzumaki Ashina gradually accept all of this.
Soon after Uzumaki Ashina spoke,
two Jonin of the Uzumaki Clan escorted Uzumaki Asashin in.
They forced Uzumaki Asashin to kneel in the same position as Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"You all may leave!"
"I have something to say to Asashin!"
Uzumaki Asashin's body was covered in dense Sealing Techniques at this moment,
so there was naturally no need to worry about Uzumaki Asashin suddenly erupting.
After a slight hesitation,
Uzumaki Tatsumaru, Fujiwara Tetsuya, and the other two exited the room one after another.
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya arrived in the courtyard,
dozens of sharp gazes fell simultaneously on Fujiwara Tetsuya.
With such an incident happening in Whirlpool Village tonight,
Fujiwara Tetsuya could not possibly clear his name, no matter what he said.
Regarding this,
Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't expect these Uzumaki clansmen to understand anything.
Personal emotions, he could understand.
After pointing to his forehead protector,
Fujiwara Tetsuya leaned against a nearby pillar after glancing back at Uzumaki Tatsumaru.
To be able to defeat Uzumaki Asashin and his subordinates in such a short time,
was enough to prove Uzumaki Tatsumaru's strength.
Elite Jonin? Or a hidden Quasi-Kage-level expert?
