Uzumaki Clan Members

In the vast darkness, time seemed to stand still, as if there was only endless darkness all around. He didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, like a ray of hope. Yemo ran through the darkness towards that light. He ran and ran until he finally reached the light. He carefully reached out and gently touched the light.

The moment his finger touched the light, the light suddenly shone brightly, and billions of rays of light shot out in all directions. In the face of the light, the boundless darkness melted away like snow in spring.

Slowly opening his eyes, Yemo saw only a faint light, his vision blurred. He closed his eyes again, knowing this was a common symptom of blurred vision after sleeping for too long. He blinked, and after a short adjustment, the scene gradually became clearer.

Looking around, he seemed to be in a room. There were several animal dolls next to the pillow, and the room was very tidy with some odds and ends. It was clearly a girl's room.

"Where am I?" Yemo thought back and his head suddenly throbbed with pain.

He only vaguely remembered that in the final moments of the battle with Ikeda, he had taken Ikeda's bone sword by force, intending to die together with him, and then used his White Fang to pierce Ikeda's head and kill Ikeda. After that, he lost consciousness and remembered nothing.

It seems that Minato and Kosuke arrived in time to save him and Kakashi; otherwise, he would have died long ago instead of lying here.

Yemo tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, he was in excruciating pain all over his body, as if he were being pierced by countless tiny needles at the same time.

Click...

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a little girl with a full head of red hair walked in, carrying a basin of water. She was stunned when she saw Yemo awake.

Seeing the little girl come in, Yemo asked, "I'm sorry, I thought..."

Before Yemo could finish speaking, the little girl cried out in surprise, grabbed the basin of water, and ran outside, disappearing from sight. Yemo vaguely heard the little girl shout, "Mommy, that little boy is awake!"

Upon hearing this, Yemo gave a wry smile. Recalling the little girl's red hair from earlier, Yemo guessed, "Red hair? Does that mean I've arrived in Uzushiogakure? That must be it. Minato rescued us, and in this unfamiliar land of Land of Whirlpools, there shouldn't be anywhere else to go besides Uzushiogakure."

Before Yemo could wait long, footsteps came from outside the room. The footsteps were very hurried, indicating that the person who came was very anxious. The door was pushed open, and Minato entered first, followed by Kosuke.

Upon seeing Yemo awaken, Minato breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yemo, you're finally awake! I'm so glad you're alright. If anything had happened to you, I really wouldn't know how I would have been able to face Kushina."

Minato knew better than anyone else about Kushina's love for Yemo. Minato had heard Kushina say that Yemo was her younger brother and her only family in the world, and that she would give anything for him.

If something really happened to Yemo while he was leading the team, Minato couldn't imagine how Kushina would react upon hearing the news.

"How are you, young man? Is there anything wrong with your health?" Kosuke asked with concern from behind.

Yemo smiled and said, "Although my whole body is still in a lot of pain, I think it should be fine. I should be able to recover after a period of rest."

"To survive such injuries, you're truly young. It's so good to be young, your body is in great shape. We're already old," Kosuke said with a shake of his head and a smile.

As he spoke, Kosuke couldn't help but recall when they arrived at the scene. Yemo was lying in a pool of blood, a bone sword embedded in his body. At that time, Yemo only had a faint breath left, like a candle flame in a storm that could be extinguished at any moment. He and Minato both thought that Yemo might not survive, because his injuries were too severe. The bone sword pierced through his chest, several ribs were broken, and the shattered ribs pierced his internal organs. Even the bones in his hands were broken.

Despite these injuries, Yemo Mo'ao, who seemed on the verge of death, pulled through. His life force gradually increased, and his injuries healed at an extremely rapid pace until he was fully awake.

Looking back now, Kosuke is filled with emotion. It was all a miracle. If he had suffered such injuries, he would have certainly died.

Remembering that Kakashi had also fallen unconscious, Yemo quickly asked, "By the way, how is Kakashi?"

Minato, "Don't worry, his injuries aren't as serious as yours. He just Chakra. However, his recovery ability isn't as good as yours. Although he woke up a while ago, he's still lying in bed."

At this point, Minato sighed with admiration, "The physique of your Uzumaki Clan is truly enviable. Such injuries would have been fatal for an ordinary person, but you managed to pull yourself back from the brink of death thanks to your powerful vitality."

Kosuke said, "I've heard the Second Hokage say before that your Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan are distant relatives, and that both clans Chakra and extremely strong vitality. Seeing this today, I can confirm it's true."

"Luckily, I have strong vitality, otherwise I might have died there." During the battle, all I was thinking about was how to deal with Ikeda, but now, after hearing Minato and Kosuke's words, Yemo realized that he had acted impulsively.

Actually, at that time, if I had just delayed a little, Minato and I would have been able to arrive. I didn't need to use this mutually destructive method to kill Ikeda.

"You can even admit you were wrong?" Minato admonished Yemo, "Remember next time you fight, even if you want to kill the enemy, you must do so while ensuring your own survival. Don't use this life-for-life fighting style anymore. Even if you kill your opponent, you're dead too. What's the point of such a victory? You were lucky to survive this time, but you might not be so lucky next time."

Yemo smiled slightly and assured Minato, "Don't worry, Minato, I won't do it again next time. I cherish my life quite a bit. There are many things I haven't experienced yet, and I don't want to die so soon. Besides, I'm still alive, while that guy Ikeda is dead."

Hahaha...

Kosuke laughed heartily, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! Even Minato and I took quite some time to deal with two Kaguya Clan Kekkei Genkai users, yet you two Genin teamed up to kill a Jonin with Kekkei Genkai. If this were to spread, it would surely shock the entire Shinobi World."

Seeing the two geniuses, Yemo and Kakashi, Kosuke was genuinely excited. If Konoha wanted to live on forever, it needed geniuses like Yemo to keep emerging to inherit the Will of Fire. Their generation would eventually grow old, and the world would belong to the young.

Minato, Yemo, and Kakashi are the future of the village. They will support the village in the future, just like the legendary Sannin of today.

"By the way, Minato, where are we now? Uzushiogakure?" Suddenly realizing he didn't know where he was, Yemo asked.

Minato shook his head and replied, "We're not in Uzushiogakure yet, but we're not far from Uzushiogakure. You two were too badly injured to make a long journey, so we're staying with someone. They're actually from the same clan, the Uzumaki Clan."

"They are indeed members of the Uzumaki Clan," Yemo thought to himself, just as he had guessed.

Not all Uzumaki Clan live in Uzushiogakure. Some people don't like living in the village, so they leave to live elsewhere, while others leave the village for various reasons.

At this moment, Minato stood up and said, "We'll leave first. You should rest well and try to recover as soon as possible."

After saying Minato turned and left the room, followed closely by Kosuke, leaving Yemo deep in thought.

"The Uzumaki Clan living in Uzushiogakure, I wonder what their reasons were, whether voluntary or forced?"
