Unfamiliar Uzumaki Brat (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)

The border of the Land of Whirlpools was shrouded in a thick fog.

Only a few streaks of blood could be vaguely seen blooming abruptly within the mist.

"...What's that sound?"

The young guard, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up and looked around sharply.

But his vulnerability was exposed at the same time. Before he could react, the fleeting opening proved fatal.

Thwack!

A flash of bright, cold light passed by, and the red-haired head flew into the air.

The young guard's body and head were cleanly separated, and another was instantly chopped into chunks of minced meat.

Blood exploded instantly, splattering in all directions.

Revealing taut wires in the fog, constantly dripping blood under the moonlight.

"These guys are way too slow, aren't they?"

Following the trajectory of the steel wire, Kushimaru Kuriarare walked out, a sinister grin on his face. "To be honest, this is my first time participating in a clan extermination mission. Why does it feel so much easier than I imagined?"

With that, he looked around, as if trying to get a response.

And in the trees around him, dark figures squatted and stood.

The hazy moonlight filtered through the dense branches and leaves, casting a layer of shadow over them, their pupils watching the distance like will-o'-the-wisps.

"Stop talking nonsense, Kushimaru Kuriarare. They haven't experienced war in decades!"

As soon as the words fell, an incredibly tall figure walked into the middle of the Kirigakure ninja, orange hair reaching to his waist, a fluffy bandage wrapped around his neck, and green stripes painted on his cheeks.

It was none other than Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the wielder of the Greatsword Samehada, who was acting as the leader of this advance team.

"The border guards have been dealt with. We need to start preparing to infiltrate the capital."

He carried Samehada, wrapped in cloth, on his back, and grinned with his shark-like teeth, saying, "Those Kekkei Genkai ninja are the real main force of this operation. Our advance team only has one task."

"Because this invasion is supposed to be a blitzkrieg. Once the time is dragged out too long, many unexpected factors will come into play. The power of the Uzumaki Clan should not be underestimated, and the Hidden Leaf Village may also send reinforcements."

"So, we have to be quick. Before the Land of Whirlpools notices anything unusual, Nakayoshi will use Dark Release to open a loophole in the barrier, then find the core of the barrier and destroy it. The Kekkei Genkai ninja will follow up."

On the tree next to him, a fat man wearing a ninja hat, red glasses, and a string of red prayer beads around his neck nodded.

"The Uzumaki Clan's barrier hasn't been changed in nearly forty years, and it's already full of loopholes. Please have one hundred percent confidence in my Dark Release."

The fat man called Nakayoshi spoke powerfully, looking even more honest among this group of lunatics.

But as the owner of the Kekkei Genkai Dark Release, he could directly convert other people's ninjutsu into chakra and store it in his own body, making it easy to temporarily break through the Land of Whirlpools' barrier.

"According to the plan, after destroying the barrier, Kurosuki Raiga and Muri Sebashi will lead the charge and cause a disturbance."

Kisame Hoshigaki looked up at the two figures sitting cross-legged on the tree and asked, "Do you have any problems?"

"Whatever." Muri Sebashi glanced at the man next to him, his tone full of mockery. "As for whether anyone besides me can survive, that's none of my business."

"I have no objections." Next to him, a man with long green hair and bandages wrapped around his upper body replied, "I will bury them with the strongest lightning."

One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the wielder of the Lightning Blade: Kiba, Kurosuki Raiga.

His Lightning Blade: Kiba was the fastest blade with lightning, capable of generating lightning to unleash incredibly powerful power.

"Very good!"

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned with satisfaction, his sharp teeth showing. "This is our first time working together on a mission. Everyone can take as much credit as they can."

"But I hope there won't be any disharmony within the group before we invade the Land of Whirlpools… Oyakishiro Go, do you understand what I mean?"

While saying these words, he kept staring at the man leaning against the tree, wearing triangular sunglasses and looking out of place, the warning and threat in his tone undisguised.

"Relax, I have professional ethics."

Not caring about Kisame Hoshigaki's threatening words, Oyakishiro Go still had a hippie-like smile on his face. "The Third has become so terrifying recently. If a ninja from the Chinoike Clan like me doesn't cooperate, it will be difficult to survive even if I go back."

Hearing this, Kushimaru Kuriarare sneered in disdain, but he didn't say anything he shouldn't have.

As a staunch supporter of the "Blood Mist Faction," in his opinion, this mission, apart from the four of them who were Seven Ninja Swordsmen, shouldn't have included these Kekkei Genkai clan bastards.

It would be better to replace them with those three idiots, Ameyuri Ringo, Chojuro, and Juzo Biwa. Although their mastery of the ninja swords was not yet proficient, they were at least more trustworthy than this guy from the Chinoike Clan in front of him.

It would be best if they were sent to be cannon fodder along with those Kekkei Genkai ninja who were sent to directly confront the Uzumaki Clan.

Anyway, those ninja clans were almost scared out of their wits, and they would nod and bow no matter what the Third told them to do.

"Alright, since there are no objections, let's proceed according to the plan."

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded, pulled out the wrapped Samehada from behind, and looked at the distance with cold eyes. "Remember, fleeing and betrayal are the same crime on the battlefield. Don't make me personally execute you."

As the words fell, the figures in the mist all disappeared, silently eroding towards the distant sparks of the Land of Whirlpools.

At the same time, in the capital of the Land of Whirlpools, which was also within Uzushio Village.

The singing and dancing were in full swing, and everything was peaceful.

Uzumaki Yoake, as the clan head, held his daughter's hand, and the two sang and danced, moving with the crowd. People joined and left the dancing team.

And as the two figures at the very center, they were the focus of everyone's attention.

Yoriko was a little nervous at first, but even if she made some mistakes, it only drew good-natured laughter.

Before she knew it, guided by Yoake, Yoriko danced better and better, and she became more confident.

The loud cheers of the crowd often reached her ears, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled her heart.

"Papa, I really like this feeling."

Yoriko let out a clear, childish laugh, already immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

Uzumaki Yoake also had a smile on his face, and as he spun and danced, a gentle breeze brushed against his face, as if carrying a sense of peace and security, his thoughts seeming to be carried away by the wind.

But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt someone tap his arm, causing him to be taken aback.

He subconsciously stopped his dancing steps and turned to look behind him, but he didn't see anyone there.

"...Look down."

A slightly stiff voice came from below him. When Yoake looked down, he saw that it wasn't an adult who had tapped him.

It was a petite boy, dressed in a black robe, his eyes covered by a black cloth.

His neat, short red hair looked so natural here, no one would find his appearance strange, as if he was meant to be here.

Uzumaki Yoake wasn't surprised, but he felt that he was a little unfamiliar. He leaned down, resting his hands on his thighs, and said, "Little guy, whose kid are you? I don't seem to remember you."

He didn't remember any children in the village having eye problems.

"Uzumaki Clan Head?"

Looking at the simple-minded man, Nagato frowned and said coldly, "I can't believe that the head of a clan could be so negligent."

"You..." Yoake was stunned, and asked in confusion, "What are you tal..."

"This place will become a battlefield."

Before he could finish speaking, Nagato interrupted him coldly.

Seeing Yoake's pupils contract subconsciously, he continued, "Quickly evacuate the women and children."

This was a warning, seemingly full of goodwill, yet also full of pity.

But who was the one giving the warning?

What a strange guy!

Uzumaki Yoake frowned, wanting to ask more questions, but at that moment, his eyes were suddenly plunged into darkness.

No, the entire Uzushio Village was plunged into darkness!

The sound of electric arcs crackling in the air rang out, and then all the lights went out at the same time.

His eyes still held the beautiful scene from the previous moment, but the next moment, they were submerged in a tide of darkness.

"Papa! What's goin..."

Yoriko's panicked voice reached Yoake's ears, but before Yoake could say a word of comfort, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, his body stiffened, and his eyes widened.

Boom!!

He seemed to hear the sound of the ocean churning.

In his pupils, the rising scarlet light was reflected.

It was as if a tear had been ripped into the silent night, and the booming sound and shockwave swept through Uzushio Village!
