Chapter 106: Patriarch, you are on the wrong path! Ancient scroll!
"Asashin!"
"Why! Why betray Land of Whirlpools!"
"Why betray your own clan members!"
Inside the room! The candlelight was dim!
Uzumaki Ashina's steps were slightly unsteady.
Uzumaki Asashin could become the third most important figure in Whirlpool Village at his age!
It was inseparable from Uzumaki Ashina's support!
It could be said!
Uzumaki Asashin was one of the few people Uzumaki Ashina trusted most!
But!
Uzumaki Asashin's betrayal right now!
It was like a sharp blade directly piercing Uzumaki Ashina's heart!
"Why?"
"Clan Leader! Can't you see!"
"The current Uzumaki Clan! The current Land of Whirlpools!"
"Clan Leader! You've taken the wrong path!"
"In corners we cannot see! Countless eyes are secretly watching!"
"Your persistence! Your ideals! Will only push the Uzumaki Clan towards destruction!"
Facing Uzumaki Ashina!
Uzumaki Asashin's confidence was slightly lacking!
However!
After a moment of silence!
He still accepted the current situation!
The struggle between them! It was not just a struggle for power!
It was also a struggle of ideals!
"The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique is something passed down by the Uzumaki Clan's ancestors through generations!"
"What's wrong with protecting the Sealing Technique?"
"There's nothing wrong!"
Suddenly! Uzumaki Ashina's rebuttal!
It was rudely interrupted by Uzumaki Asashin!
"There's nothing wrong with protecting the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique!"
"The mistake lies in how weak the Uzumaki Clan is!"
"With the Uzumaki Clan's strength alone! We can never withstand the encirclement of those forces!"
"Can't you see?"
Unfortunately! At this moment, inside the room!
Besides Uzumaki Ashina and Uzumaki Asashin!
There was no third party present!
Otherwise! One would surely clearly see the grief and indignation in Uzumaki Asashin's eyes!
This man decided to walk this path!
Precisely because he had no other choice!
"Clan Leader! You are old!"
"If that day truly comes! When you leave your clan members!"
"What will become of the Uzumaki Clan then?"
"Rely on Konoha?"
"When the Uzumaki Clan chose to leave the Land of Fire! And establish a country on an island!"
"That kind of estrangement already existed!"
"Clan Leader! Perhaps you should go out and see for yourself!"
"The current Ninja World! It's not the Sengoku period anymore!"
Uzumaki Asashin's continuous words!
They constantly impacted Uzumaki Ashina's mind!
Like a pair of rough hands! Constantly tearing apart the psychological defenses Uzumaki Ashina had built for himself!
"Asashin!"
"Perhaps you have a point!"
"But no matter what!"
"I cannot approve of your choice!"
"Watch carefully from your cell! Before I pass away!"
"For the Uzumaki Clan! For Whirlpool Village! For Land of Whirlpools! I will eliminate all obstacles!"
"Tazumaru! Take Asashin away!"
"No one is allowed to see him without my permission!"
Uzumaki Asashin's words! Although they stirred Uzumaki Ashina's heart!
They could not shake Uzumaki Ashina's belief, which had spanned the Sengoku period and the new era!
Uzumaki Asashin left!
He was escorted by several Uzumaki Clan Ninja to Whirlpool Village's prison!
But Fujiwara Tetsuya was called inside!
"Brat! What is the third piece of intelligence you mentioned!"
After the incident with Uzumaki Asashin!
Uzumaki Ashina's spirit became even more listless!
His voice also became increasingly hoarse!
"The third..."
"In the Northern Sea Area! Besides Hidden Cloud Village!"
"There are also forces from the Land of Fire involved!"
Uzumaki Ashina was a smart man!
Regarding this point!
Fujiwara Tetsuya didn't need to explain too thoroughly!
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya had guessed!
Uzumaki Ashina understood! His expression also became increasingly dim!
The involvement of the Land of Fire's official forces!
For Whirlpool Village! For Land of Whirlpools!
It brought not only endless pressure and threats!
More importantly!
The official attitude of the Land of Fire! It would shake the will of the Konoha Higher-Ups!
This was not just a problem with the Sealing Technique! It had escalated to the political level between nations!
Even if the Konoha Higher-Ups considered their past ties! The best outcome!
Would only be to stand by and do nothing!
"Has it really come to this!"
Gazing at his withered hands!
Uzumaki Ashina couldn't help but murmur to himself!
Perhaps! It was truly as Asashin had said!
The Uzumaki Clan had reached the brink of a dead end!
"Brat!"
"Thank you for taking such a great risk to come to Whirlpool Village!"
"And thank you for telling me such important information!"
After an unknown amount of time! Amidst Fujiwara Tetsuya's gradually steady breathing!
Uzumaki Ashina's gaze fell on Fujiwara Tetsuya again!
"Clan Leader, you are too kind!"
"I said before! I just don't want to see my good friend die in battle one day!"
"That's all!"
"I understand!"
"Decades ago! Hashirama and I also had such a bond!"
"It's just that now, things have long since changed beyond recognition!"
"Although! The Uzumaki Clan is in a difficult situation now!"
"But we still have some reserves!"
"Brat! As a reward! I can grant you one request!"
Reward for merit! Punishment for fault!
This was a principle Uzumaki Ashina had long upheld!
Whether for clan members! Or for outsiders!
"A request?"
Meeting Uzumaki Ashina's deep gaze!
Fujiwara Tetsuya ultimately shook his head!
The most attractive aspects of the Uzumaki Clan!
Were in two areas!
One was the Uzumaki Clan's physique!
The other was the Uzumaki Clan's peak Sealing Technique!
The former was out of the question! The latter didn't need much thought either!
Even with his toes, Fujiwara Tetsuya could understand!
The attitude this remnant of the old era had towards the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique!
"None!"
"What a carefree brat!"
"However! The Uzumaki Clan has never had the habit of owing favors!"
"Take this scroll!"
"Of course! As for whether you can learn it or not! That depends on your aptitude!"
Under Fujiwara Tetsuya's surprised gaze!
An ancient scroll drew a graceful arc in mid-air!
Falling directly into his hand!
Fujiwara Tetsuya left!
However! Tonight, whether for him!
Or for Uzumaki Ashina! And for the Uzumaki Clan members who participated in Uzumaki Asashin's incident!
It would be a sleepless night!
...Uzumaki Watari's home!
Because Uzumaki Asashin had brought people here!
Fujiwara Tetsuya no longer needed to transform into Uzumaki Watari!
So!
He recounted everything that had happened! To Uzumaki Meika!
Of course! Regarding the matters of Uzumaki Ashina and Uzumaki Asashin!
He still concealed what needed to be concealed!
At this moment! Fujiwara Tetsuya was awkwardly sitting across from Uzumaki Meika!
And Uzumaki Meika was staring straight at him!
Her eyes held three parts teasing! Five parts shyness! And two parts dissatisfaction!
"Meihua!"
"Believe me! I really didn't do it on purpose!"
"How about! I call him back?"
"At the very least, I'll let you carry him back?"
Scratching the back of his head! Facing Uzumaki Meika's gaze!
Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly felt a sense of unease!
If only he had known! He would have continued to transform into Uzumaki Watari!
Although! He would still have to deal with Uzumaki Meika!
Compared to the current situation! It would undoubtedly be much better!
