Chapter 21 - Whirlpool Empire cap 21

During the last few days, it was enough for word to spread about the existence of Gin Uzumaki, the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan. 

From ancient written information held by the oldest clans, to new information that spread from the Leaf Village after Mito Uzumaki revealed what she knew about her clan's patriarch, all available information was quickly brought before the leaders of all villages and countries. 

Of course, none of those present at the meeting who listened to Mito Uzumaki mentioned Hashirama Senju's defeat. 

Everyone else on the continent thought that Gin Uzumaki was on par with Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara. 

With the information available for everyone to analyze, they suddenly realized that Gin Uzumaki, the new Shinobi God, was not 'new'. 

Gin Uzumaki was older than Hashirama Senju and was the leader of his clan. 

It was very likely, and everyone thought the same, that Gin Uzumaki already had this level of strength when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were alive. 

The reason the continent was unaware of his strength was because he had no reason to leave his island. 

If the alliance of the 4 great villages had not attacked the Uzumaki clan, Gin Uzumaki would still be ruling the whirlpool island without bothering the mainland. 

Suddenly, everyone who noticed spat and insulted the names of the 4 great villages for awakening the sleeping titan. 

The Daimyo of the 3 countries sent urgent messages to their villages asking for an explanation and a plan for when Gin Uzumaki appears for revenge. 

The cloud, rock, and sand villages were ashamed because they hadn't expected this to happen either. 

"SHIT!" A yelled as he punched and smashed the desk in front of him. 

The letter from the Lightning Daimyo meant nothing to him. In A's eyes, the Daimyo was a useless figure who was only there for decoration and to give money to the village. 

What bothered him was the distrustful look he received from the ninjas of his village lately. 

Not only had he lost nearly 5,000 shinobi, many of them elite, but he had also awakened a sleeping dragon and drawn its attention to them. 

In the Cloud Village, only strength is respected, and the Raikage is the strongest in the village. 

Although in the Leaf Village the Hokage is generally the strongest, he is still elected through a vote. 

Very different from what happens in the cloud village. 

The third Raikage had to defeat all his opponents to take the position. 

This caused the third raikage to offend several factions within the village. 

This usually causes the village to be unstable and the Raikage to not have as much control over all of his shinobi.

But with the advice of Dodai, his advisor, he was able to take control by sending his opponents on certain missions for the good of the village. 

If they didn't come back, that's fine. 

But if they returned and failed their mission, he could punish them. 

Now that he was in control of the village, he was not afraid of a coup by his subordinates, but it was still uncomfortable to feel their stares because of his misjudgment. 

The Third Raikage never imagined that a monster was hiding on Whirlpool Island. 

Unlike any other opponent, this time the third raikage did not dare to return and seek revenge. 

Recalling his experience of standing in front of that enormous kilometer-high lightning dragon and his experience of fleeing amidst that rain of lightning, the Third Raikage couldn't help but tremble a little and sweat cold. 

But he quickly composed himself. He didn't want anyone to see him trembling. 

Toc Toc 

"Forward" 

Someone knocked on the door and the Third Raikage saw Dodai enter. 

"Third Lord, the analysis of the Uzumaki clan's abilities has arrived," Dodai said, handing several sheets of paper into the Raikage's hands. 

The Raikage took the leaves and began to read them one by one.

But the more he read, the more he frowned, and soon he went over to his chair to sit down. 

The Raikage did not expect this. 

It was already very stressful knowing that Gin Uzumaki existed and could arrive at any moment. 

But now they also learned that the members of the Uzumaki clan were also monsters. 

The sheets in their hands contained detailed accounts of what they had obtained from the battlefield between the Leaf Village and the now extinct Mist Village. 

A few days ago, news arrived about an army of redheads who attacked the army of fog from behind. 

It was a massacre. 

The army of the mist was led by the head of the Yuki clan and the head of the Kaguya clan. 

Both were powerful shinobi in command of thousands of shinobi. 

But even so, they were defeated by the Uzumaki with almost no losses.

Obviously, the Leaf shinobi found out because their camp was nearby and they came to greet their 'allies'. 

It was here that they learned of the fall of the land of water from the mouths of the Uzumaki, and soon the news spread throughout the continent. 

As time went on, information leaked out about which villages and countries were interested. 

The battle capabilities of the Uzumaki clan. 

To begin with, the documents highlight the fuinjutsu ability of the Uzumaki clan, which was openly displayed with a huge barrier that surrounded the battlefield and prevented the shinobi of the mist from escaping. 

Although that barrier was enormous, it was nothing compared to the barrier that surrounded their island when they defended themselves against the siege of the 4 great villages. 

But this still proved that this type of barrier was not something difficult for the Uzumaki to create and that they could do it on the fly.

Furthermore, they did not appear to have any problems with the energy required to maintain these types of barriers. 

This was terrifying in a large-scale battle.

The Uzumaki could divide and trap their armies and take them out one by one. 

And they won't be able to do anything. 

They could not destroy them by force due to the strength of the barriers, and their fuinjutsu knowledge was not comparable to the Uzumaki clan's, making it impossible to find a weak point. 

The next point that the analysis highlighted was the Uzumaki's Ninjutsu ability. 

Previously, it was believed that the Uzumaki were only good at Fuinjutsu and their abilities in other branches were average or almost nonexistent. 

But the recent war proved them wrong, and the analysis showed it. 

Redheads could unleash Ninjutsu of all elements. 

To be more specific, each and every one of the Uzumaki was skilled in elemental jutsus of all elements. 

According to what the Hyuga clan shinobi saw from a distance, the Uzumaki clan members were using wind element jutsus against the mist shinobi who were using the lightning element. 

Fire against the element of wind. 

Water against the few shinobi of the mist who used the fire element. 

Lightning against the element of water. 

And on the few occasions that the shinobi of the mist reached solid ground, the Uzumaki expertly used earth element jutsus. 

The Raikage looked incredulously at the report detailing this. 

While a shinobi could use jutsus of all elements, they all had compatible elements and incompatible elements. 

For elements that were not compatible, it was more difficult to use higher-rank jutsus and even more difficult to do so in battle. 

Only Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, was known for using Jutsus of all elements in battle. 

The Third Hokage's ability to use jutsu of all elements makes him annoying to fight because he would use elemental weaknesses against every jutsu you throw at him. 

And now they find out that all the Uzumakis could do the same. 

The Raikage already had a headache with this information. 

But the analysis didn't end there. 

Although the analysis did not have information on the Uzumaki's Genjutsu ability, it did have information on their Taijutsu ability. 

Similarly, the redheads' Taijutsu ability was problematic. 

The report details that many redheads exploded in blue chakra that surrounded their bodies, giving them a burst of strength and speed with which they overwhelmed their opponents. 

This reminded the Raikage of himself, as his battle method was to overwhelm his enemies with speed and strength using his lightning armor. 

The lightning armor was a very difficult jutsu to learn, and only his son has shown signs of being able to use it in the future. 

If what the report said was true, the Uzumaki had a technique that resembled their lightning armor, and all of them could learn it.
