The World Fell into Chaos Before the Cheats Even Died

After doing all that, they still wouldn't allow Uchiha Sasuke to seek revenge. They claimed that if no one guided him, he might become a second Madara Uchiha. Come on—you killed his father, mother, brothers, sisters, grandfather, grandmother, and everyone in his clan, and even threatened his own brother into doing it. Yet you still wouldn't let him take revenge? The fact that Uchiha Sasuke hadn't directly piloted a Gundam to Konoha and gone wild was already showing them plenty of respect. And then they used both the stick and the carrot, urging him to strive for the lofty ideal of world peace.

As for that...

Xun Uzumaki no longer knew what to say. Only Konoha could say something so shameless.

As for peace in the Shinobi World, he could only achieve it after becoming strong enough himself. Besides, bringing peace to the Shinobi World was not so easy. Weren't the Shinobi World already starting to fall into chaos before those two overpowered cheats had even died?

Why had the Sage of Six Paths stayed alive and waited until the end to give his sons cheats?

Wasn't it to tell them, stop fighting. This world was not peaceful. A blade still hung above their heads, and aliens were watching them like tigers eyeing prey. Didn't they see that even someone as badass as his mother had been so worried that she wanted to reclaim Chakra? So stop messing around. Communicate with each other, understand each other, achieve peace in the Shinobi World, and unite against the aliens. Only then could the Shinobi World become prosperous and strong.

Yet not long after the Shinobi World had cracked down on organized crime, another gang had emerged to stir up trouble.

The Sage of Six Paths was probably dumbfounded too! He had surveyed the entire Shinobi World and still failed to discover them. Those rats had hidden themselves quite well! If he had known they were so badass, he would have let them protect peace in the Shinobi World! Why had he needed to work so hard to create the Child of Prophecy? Great, now the Child of Prophecy's fate had been settled—and then they went and settled the Child of Prophecy!!!

Sigh!

His Ninja Sect truly had a long way to go!

So this story taught them that if they lacked the ability, they should not take on such enormous responsibilities. Even someone that badass had not stepped forward, and wasn't still waiting for the Child of Prophecy to save the world?

Lying low and building strength was the true path!

"Still want to sleep?"

Zimu Uzumaki sneered as he looked at the alert Mist Ninja camp. That was impossible. How could the world have such wonderful things? They wanted to sleep soundly on enemy territory? They should honestly stay up all night and listen to the firecrackers!

He looked around at the others and said quietly, "Are you ready?"

"No problem." One of the Uzumaki Clan members said cheerfully, "We're all Shadow Clones anyway. What do you want us to do?"

Shadow Clones were quite useful for harassment.

"This time, we prepared quite a lot of Explosive Tags. We're just waiting for the Mist Ninja to fall asleep so we can give them a real thrill." Another short-haired Uzumaki Clan member said with narrowed eyes.

"Then let them sleep a little longer." Zimu Uzumaki thought for a moment. "We'll act in the dead of night."

Keeping them constantly on edge was what a battlefield should be like.

"Yes!!"

Zimu Uzumaki narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Mist Ninja encampment, muttering inwardly, What a bunch of vile invaders!

"Prince Xun, it seems someone from Konoha has landed?"

Just as Xun Uzumaki's Shadow Clone narrowed his eyes and considered future strategies, Uzumaki Kai suddenly approached him. The Clan Head and Clan Elders had all gone to rest, so Uzumaki Kai was now guarding him. As one of the strongest among the younger generation of the Uzumaki Clan, Uzumaki Kai was quite well-known.

"Konoha?" Xun Uzumaki frowned at once. Why was Konoha sending people here at this time? In the middle of the night, were they here to pick up heads? Come on, the Uzumaki Clan had not even been wiped out yet. Were they really that impatient to inherit the estate? Did they have to be so shameless? Most of the inheritance had already been spent buying Explosive Tags, and there was not much money left in the treasury either!

A cold glint flashed through his eyes as he said to Uzumaki Kai, "I'll wake up the original body." Then he directly dispelled the Shadow Clone.

Uzumaki Kai opened his mouth, intending to ask whether they should inform the Clan Head and the others, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. The Clan Head had said that everything now followed Xun Uzumaki's orders, and Prince Xun's commands had never been wrong from the beginning until now. This time, he surely had his reasons as well.

But...

Why had Konoha come here? Hadn't they severed ties? Hadn't they refused to send support? Their appearance now was bound to bring trouble! As for suddenly growing a conscience and coming to help?

Yeah, right. Did they really take the Uzumaki Clan for fools?

A cold sneer appeared on Uzumaki Kai's lips. Konoha had better not try anything at this moment, or the Uzumaki Clan would not let them off easily. The Uzumaki Clan was not easy to bully. Even if they had an agreement with Lord Hashirama, if Konoha shamelessly made a move, then they should not blame the Land of Whirlpools.

"What is it?" The Clan Head suddenly appeared beside Uzumaki Kai and asked with a frown.

After thinking for a moment, Uzumaki Kai directly explained the situation.

"Konoha!!" The Clan Head frowned and muttered. The situation was looking excellent now. They only needed to keep dragging things out until the Mist Ninja went hungry, so no accidents could be allowed at this time! Besides...

Konoha? Yeah, right!! Who still trusted them?

"Call the Great Elder and the others. We'll go take a look together." After considering it, the Clan Head spoke. He absolutely would not allow anything to happen to Xun Uzumaki. If Konoha wanted to interfere, then they should not blame the Uzumaki Clan for disregarding old ties.

"Yes!!"

"Lord Shuzen!" Seeing that Lord Shuzen had suddenly stopped them, the Senju Clan members asked with furrowed brows, "What is going on?"

Now that they had landed, shouldn't they be searching for the Uzumaki Clan members? Time was of the essence!

Shusen Senju frowned, glanced around, and said in a low voice, "Someone is here!"

Someone?!

The Senju Clan members immediately gripped their Shuriken and went on guard. Had the Uzumaki Clan already been wiped out? Were those people from Kirigakure, or from the Uzumaki Clan? If they were from Kirigakure, then they were in danger.

Were they going to be killed before they had even made a move?

"Come out!" Shusen Senju's deep voice rang out. "Friends, we have already discovered you. Come out!"

Yet there was no response. The surroundings remained utterly silent.

Seeing that no one responded, Shusen Senju tightly gripped the Shuriken in his right hand. The moment anything seemed wrong, he would strike immediately. But what had happened to the Uzumaki Clan? Had they truly arrived too late?

What he did not know was that the hidden Uzumaki Clan members were quietly discussing the matter.

"What do we do?" one Uzumaki Clan member asked.

"I don't know. We've already sent someone to ask Lord Jie." Another Uzumaki Clan member said. "For now, keep watching them. Don't make a sound."

"I really don't know why Konoha sent people here now." An Uzumaki Clan member muttered quietly. "Under Prince Xun's leadership, we can definitely win. Why did they show up now?"

"Shut up, don't let them discov—" Just as the apparent leader of the Uzumaki Clan members was about to rebuke him, he suddenly felt someone pat his back. He quickly turned around, gripping his Shuriken as he went on guard.

"Who?"
