"The age of shinobi..."
"Has arrived?!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, the Chinoike Clan members trembled with excitement.
So they really didn't have to keep living in this hellhole!
"My lord, my name is Oyakuro Isami. May I ask your name...?"
"Uchiha Yuzuru."
"Lord Yuzuru, we'll go pack our things right away. If you have any instructions, please don't hesitate to tell me."
Uchiha Yuzuru waved a hand and had Oyakuro Isami lead the clansmen away to get busy.
The Chinoike Clan packed quickly. In less than two hours, everyone had assembled once more.
In a place like the Valley of Hell, they did not even have a few decent sets of clothes.
"Let's go."
Led by Uchiha Yuzuru, the Chinoike Clan left the Valley of Hell for the first time.
Though the terrain outside was not all that different from the valley, many Chinoike clansmen were still so overwhelmed that tears streamed down their faces.
So the world outside was truly this vast!
Compared to the others, Oyakuro Isami was far calmer. Following at Uchiha Yuzuru's side, he cautiously asked, "Lord Yuzuru, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"
"Our clan has been absent from the Shinobi World for far too long. Could I trouble you to tell me what has happened during this time?"
Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at him. Rather than putting on an aloof act, he simply said, "After you were imprisoned, the Shinobi World did not undergo any major changes."
"Until several decades ago, when the Uchiha Clan joined forces with the Senju Clan to establish the One Country, One Village system, completely ending the Warring States Period..."
Uchiha Yuzuru briefly explained several important events, all the way up to when he led the Uchiha Clan to Kumogakure and proposed releasing them.
