Chapter 97 The Submission of the Uzumaki Clan

Chapter 97 The Submission of the Uzumaki Clan

"Chief! We can't hold on much longer. If the allied forces outside continue their attack, we'll be powerless to resist once the barrier is breached."

On the third day of the siege of the Uzumaki clan, the village of Uzumaki was on the verge of collapse.

Not to mention that many ninjas were pushing their bodies to the limit by constantly refining chakra to maintain the barrier.

The village's grain reserves have all been depleted.

With the barrier on the verge of being broken, no one could remain calm.

Uzumaki Ashina opened his eyes indifferently and glanced at the clansman who had just spoken.

"What, release the barrier, and you think you can resist?"

The clansmen lowered their heads and remained silent.

As the clan leader and the one with the most abundant chakra in the clan, he now single-handedly supports the majority of the barrier's energy consumption.

Even so, his aging body could no longer support him to continue.

Right now, we're just wasting our life force.

"Children, can we send them out?"

The waiter shook his head.

This is truly impossible; he couldn't do it even if he ran until his legs broke.

The entire Land of Whirlpools was in chaos, with guards stationed outside every secret passage.

Even if they were sent out, it would only be like lambs to the slaughter.

"Ugh!"

Ashina Uzumaki sighed deeply.

Now, the allied forces of the four major powers have completely surrounded the entire Wochao Village.

They had clearly made up their minds to take the sealing technique for granted.

He was just relieved.

Kushina had already been sent to Konoha by him earlier.

Guangyi, Yan, and the others, being the most outstanding children, were not in the village at this moment.

It seems we won't be able to wait for reinforcements from Konoha.

It's already good enough that none of the enemies outside the village are from Konoha causing trouble.

"The destruction of the Uzumaki clan is inevitable, but we cannot die in a way that makes others look down on us."

The aged voice of Uzumaki Ashina echoed in the hall, reverberating in the ears of every Uzumaki clansman sitting cross-legged.

They all looked up at the leader of the Whirlpool Clan who had been leading them since the Warring States period.

"The enemy wants our sealing technique, but I refuse to give it to them."

"The secret techniques of the Uzumaki clan will accompany us to the Pure Land."

"Everyone, prepare to seal the Four Symbols."

This was a decision made by the Uzumaki clan to perish together, and although everyone present was breathing heavily, no one objected.

Simply because of their pride as members of the Uzumaki clan.

The local customs, land, thunder, and water—just a bunch of unruly people with no traditions.

How dare you lay a finger on my vortex bloodline?

A large-scale inner four-element sealing technique is currently engraved underground in Wochao Village.

All they need to do is activate it together, and they will engulf the entire Uzushio Village, along with the surrounding Allied Shinobi Forces—not a single one of them will escape.

clap clap clap!

Suddenly, applause came from outside the hall.

This was so abrupt in the context of Wochao Village at that time.

It should be noted that the elderly and children who are unable to fight are hiding in the cellar, while all those who can refine chakra are currently in the main hall.

There was no one outside the village, so where was this sound coming from?

How did the owner of the voice manage to get through the barrier?

Before the Uzumaki clan members inside the hall could figure it out, Uzumaki Ashina recognized the identity of the person outside the hall.

"The old patriarch's unwavering resolve and the whirlpool clan's will are truly admirable!"

Following the applause, Yang Xiang entered the hall and came into the sight of the Whirlpool Clan.

Now, after nearly a year of experience, his face looks more rugged than when he first came to Wochao Village.

His tall figure blocked the light in front of the door, his black hair was neatly slicked back, and he wore the traditional armor of the Senju clan with the Konoha headband tied in front of his forehead.

Ashina Uzumaki laughed heartily, looking at Yang Xiang in front of him in a daze.

The child's current posture is exactly the same as Hashirama's back then.

"How is Mito doing?"

"Greetings, Lord Mito."

The atmosphere inside the hall seemed to melt away in an instant, returning to that sunny afternoon.

Yang Xiang stepped over the many Uzumaki clan members and sat down next to Uzumaki Ashina. "How is Koichi?"

"Not bad, you could say she has some talent."

Ashina nodded.

"How is the Land of Whirlpools?"

Yang Xiang shook his head: "We've already sent people to rescue them."

Upon hearing Yang Xiang's words, Ashina Uzumaki pondered for a moment.

"Go, remove the barrier, and call Kouichi Uzumaki back."

The Whirlpool Clan members below looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Don't be afraid. Now that he's here, the enemy troops outside have scattered."

Upon hearing his words, some members of the tribe hurriedly ran out, only to return with excited expressions.

"Chief, there's no one left!"

The siege of Wochao Village has ended.

The four-nation alliance was breached by Yang Xiang alone.

We left the outskirts of Wochao Village.

However, the chaos in the Land of Whirlpools continued, and not only the Nami ninja, but also the fleeing allied forces of the four countries did not give up so easily.

Since we cannot obtain the core technique, then we will wipe out the Land of Whirlpools.

For clansmen with diluted bloodlines, some simple sealing techniques.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

It was under these circumstances that Kouichi Uzumaki, who was cleaning up in the mountains, received a message from his clansmen and hurriedly returned to the village.

With the elders as witnesses, the token representing the clan leader was handed to him.

Whirlpool Light stared blankly at the clan leader at the head of the table.

"Grandpa Ashina?"

Ashina smiled and nodded at him.

"From today onwards, you are the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan."

When Guang called him again, the old man no longer responded.

Uzumaki Ashina, a great ninja who was famous throughout the ninja world during the Warring States period, has passed away.

He had already exhausted himself from maintaining the barrier spell long before.

If it weren't for Yang Xiang's appearance, he would have been prepared to perish together with the enemy.

He held on until he was barely alive and completed the handover ceremony of the clan chief.

The elders below remained silent, as they had anticipated this situation.

This is also the result of the discussion.

Koichi Uzumaki gently helped Ashina Uzumaki lie down.

Of everyone present, he was the only one who was not yet ready.

Looking at the swirling Ashina before them, the old clan chief's repeated urgings seemed like they were just yesterday.

His mind was in turmoil.

The ninja world is now in chaos, and the hostility of various countries towards the Uzumaki clan is out in the open.

If Yang Xiang hadn't come to his rescue in time, he might have returned to find only ruins.

Under such circumstances, what could he, as the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, possibly do?

In terms of prestige, he was far inferior to the old patriarch; in terms of strength, he was not qualified to become a Shadow.

"The Land of Whirlpools is isolated overseas and in a remote location. Why not move the Whirlpool clan to the Land of Fire? There is plenty of open space on Mount Katsuragi to accommodate them."

As everyone in the hall fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts, Yang Xiang spoke.

Upon hearing his words, Guang suddenly realized what he meant.

He glanced at Ashina Uzumaki, then at Yang Xiang.

Yes, actually, the old clan chief has already chosen the path for me; all I need to do is follow it.

He turned to Yang Xiang and knelt on one knee.

"Yes, Lord Yang Xiang."

"
