Chapter 145: Light Hidden by Darkness! The Final Battle of the Powerful Ones of the Old Era!
Two days passed in a flash!
The forces on the outskirts of Whirlpool Village were still lurking there.
Perhaps even the Six Paths Sage couldn't bear to see the Uzumaki Clan's current tragic state!
Just before Lord Ashina led the surviving Ninja of the Uzumaki Clan to launch their attack, a torrential downpour suddenly began.
It provided the best cover for the Uzumaki Clan's Ninja to launch a surprise attack, and also created a great opportunity for Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group to withdraw!
"Well then! This is where we part ways, Tetsuya, you brat!"
"Meihua! Kyoji! Live well!"
"Don't think about revenge!"
"As long as you can grow up safely, that is the best comfort for us!"
In front of Lord Ashina's residence, dozens of figures stood.
On the eve of the surprise attack, Lord Ashina, with dozens of Uzumaki Clan Ninja, bid their final farewells to Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uzumaki Meika.
"Lord Ashina! Please rest assured!"
"I will use my life to protect them!"
Lord Ashina left with the Uzumaki Clan Ninja.
Without the slightest hesitation, like moths to a flame, they rushed towards the Hidden Mist Village's camp in the east.
"Let's go! It's time for us to leave here too!"
Looking at the downcast Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji, Fujiwara Tetsuya did not try to persuade them.
In his opinion, whether Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kyoji could become strong or not, they must remember today, etched into their bones and the depths of their souls.
If today was the darkest day for the Uzumaki Clan, then the two of them were the future.
As long as they lived, the light obscured by darkness would always shine again one day.

Under the cover of the thunder, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Senju Aoki also quickly headed towards the southern part of Whirlpool Village.
As long as they passed through the temporary camp set up by Hidden Mist, the seaside ferry would appear before their eyes.
However, as they moved quickly, Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes gradually grew cold.
He and Senju Aoki had informed Uchiha Kagami and Danzo Shimura about the retreat through the means Uchiha Kagami had left.
But these two had only simply asked about Lord Ashina and then there was no further word.
Although cruel, this was the truth.
In the hands of those two, their lives were far less important than the mission Hiruzen Sarutobi had given them.
... "Clan Head! It's Hidden Mist's scout!"
Outside the Hidden Mist camp in the eastern part of Whirlpool Village, Lord Ashina stood with dozens of Uzumaki Ninja under the dense forest, coldly looking at the outline of the Hidden Mist camp.
A colorless barrier silently unfolded, seemingly isolating all sound and thunder.
"Masaji! You take men to clear out Hidden Mist's scouts!"
Looking at the rainwater gathering on the ground, Lord Ashina's eyes became increasingly sharp.
A terrifying aura seemed to be brewing within his withered body.
Uzumaki Masaji and several other Uzumaki Jonin were very fast.
In just a few minutes, they silently dealt with several scouts lurking around.
"Attack!"
The moment Lord Ashina waved his hand, dozens of figures, like wild horses unbridled, charged towards the Hidden Mist camp.
"Enemy attack..."
The moment Lord Ashina and the others appeared, a piercing shriek immediately rang out over the Hidden Mist camp.
After killing dozens of Kirigakure Ninja, Genshi appeared in front of Lord Ashina and the others with a large number of elites.
"Lord Ashina!"
Upon seeing Lord Ashina, Genshi's expression immediately turned ashen.
A wave of unease flashed in his eyes.
As a wise man of Hidden Mist Village, how could he not guess why Lord Ashina was here?
It was nothing more than wanting to drag a strong enemy down with him before his death, to avenge the fallen Uzumaki clansmen.
However, what made Genshi want to curse was that the one from Kumogakure was also a Kage-level expert, and younger than him, with considerable room for growth.
Why not go after that one, but instead come specifically for him?
"Lord Ashina!"
"If you want to kill me, then follow me!"
After hesitating, Genshi gritted his teeth resentfully.
After giving a brief instruction to a Kirigakure Ninja behind him, his figure quickly swept towards the northwest.
No matter what, Lord Ashina must be led away from here.
Otherwise, once Lord Ashina started a massacre, who knew how many of the elites he brought would be lost before they could wear down the strongest of the Uzumaki Clan.
"Genshi! You can't escape!"
"Shigeharu! And my Uzumaki clansmen who died unjustly, are all waiting for you below!"
Looking at the direction Genshi was fleeing, Lord Ashina's lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible cold smile.
He clearly knew what Genshi was planning.
However, this was exactly what he wanted, so how could he be afraid?
If he could drag two Kage-level experts down with him, then the journey to the Pure Land would certainly be quite interesting.
After a final glance at Uzumaki Masaji and the others, Lord Ashina quickly gave chase.
Without Lord Ashina's deterrence, the Hidden Mist experts watching from all sides gradually surrounded them.
A bloody battle gradually reached its climax.
While the fighting began in the east and Lord Ashina pursued Genshi, Fujiwara Tetsuya and the others also arrived at the edge of the southern Hidden Mist camp.
However, the bad news was that their group did not escape the detection of the Kirigakure scouts.
In a mere few tens of seconds, Fujiwara Tetsuya and Senju Aoki were surrounded in layers.
Roughly estimated, there were no fewer than one hundred and thirty Kirigakure Ninja around them.
"Tetsuya! Do you remember what I told you that night?"
Surveying the enemies around them, Senju Aoki and Fujiwara Tetsuya stood back-to-back.
"We will carve a path to survival for you!"
"When that moment comes, do not hesitate!"
The moment Senju Aoki chuckled, Samon Fujimaru, Suzuki Rinko, and three other Jonin immediately attacked the Kirigakure Ninja in front, wildly expending their Chakra and constantly pushing their limits.
Powerful Wind Release and rampant Water Release, at this moment, were like the final chapter of an apocalypse.
"Go!"
"Konoha-Style Swordsmanship: God Slash!"
The moment Senju Aoki cleared the path, Fujiwara Tetsuya roared, and kirimaru in his hand wantonly harvested the figures appearing in front of him.
Seeing Fujiwara Tetsuya act, Uchiha Mikoto, Aburame Mokujin, and Senju Hoshito, the six of them, also followed closely after a slight hesitation.
However, in the fleeting moment they passed, their peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at Senju Aoki and the others.
This separation was a farewell for a lifetime.
"Stop them! Don't let those brats escape..."
"What do you intend to do to our lovely juniors?"
The moment the Kirigakure Ninja gave chase, Senju Aoki, holding two Kirigakure Ninja heads, stood in their path.
His aura continuously surged, subtly showing signs of breaking through to Elite Jonin.
