Uzumaki Clan

On the way back, there were no unexpected events. After leaving the Land of Rain's toxic zone, they rendezvoused with the Grass Ninjas.

With anticipation...

Fusang, along with Konan, Nagato, and Yahiko, embarked on the journey to the Land of Grass with Kusana.

Of course, Fusang was shocked to learn that Kusana was the leader of the Land of Grass and the Grass Ninja Village.

She couldn't understand why the leader of a country would infiltrate the Land of Rain to bring out a few ordinary civilians like them.

If it were just her and Nagato, she might have thought Lord Mang was after her... and Nagato's bodies.

After all, the Uzumaki Clan's physique...

That was the only valuable thing she and Nagato possessed.

Thinking back to that night, Fusang's face flushed slightly again, looking a bit embarrassed.

How humiliating!

At that moment.

"We've arrived," Kusana said with a smile, pointing ahead. "From today onwards, you will live here. Although the Land of Grass is small and has just been rebuilt, I believe you will all like it here."

He then looked at Fusang beside him, whose face had inexplicably turned red, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"N-no! It's nothing!" Fusang snapped back to attention, shook her head, and then looked up at the Land of Grass before them, a smile appearing on her face. "Thank you, Ah Mang. I'll be counting on you from now on!"

"Just call me Ah Mang! There's no need for such formality. I'm planning to take Nagato and the others as my students."

"Really?" Fusang's face lit up with a happy smile upon hearing this. Her mature and gentle smile made Kusana pause.

Unlike Kana's gentleness, Mrs. Fusang, though not appearing very old, had an added maturity, like an older sister.

She bent down. "Then I'll trouble you. I'm so grateful!"

"No need!"

Kusana waved his hand, shaking his head with a smile.

Who said all Uzumaki Clan members were violent women because of their chakra?

Kana and Mrs. Fusang were quite gentle, weren't they?

He thought to himself, then continued, "Don't be so reserved. There are still members of your clan in the Land of Grass!"

"Clan members?"

As soon as Fusang's confused question fell, Kusana spoke again, "Kana is here!"

"Ah Mang, you're back?"

From not far away, a soft, happy voice called out. Fusang immediately looked up.

She saw a beautiful girl with a gentle smile.

And her hair...

It was the same red as hers!

An Uzumaki survivor?!

Evening.

After meeting their fellow clan member, Kana and Fusang's eyes turned red. Although not like Fusang, who experienced the destruction of her clan at a very young age, Kana's Land of Eddies was destroyed when she was very, very young. But no matter what... it was their country!

Only after experiencing the destruction of their nation did they, the refugees of a fallen country, understand how difficult it was to survive.

Now that they had suddenly met a fellow clan member, they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Unfortunately.

He had to prepare dinner himself.

Then.

Without disturbing them, after having the two children eat a simple dinner, he sat down in the courtyard to rest.

As for Yahiko... that guy was taken away by Mujie. After all, Yahiko was nominally his adopted son.

Fusang, Nagato, and Konan were temporarily staying at his house. Since the Land of Grass was still being rebuilt, there weren't many spare houses. Many civilians in the Land of Grass were temporarily living in thatched huts.

"Ah Mang-niichan, so I'm part of the Uzumaki Clan?"

Kusana, who had been lying quietly, looking at the starry sky and about to relax, turned his head upon hearing Nagato's words... He looked at the boy's young face, which held hesitation and confusion.

It seemed this lost boy had become curious after learning about his clan members.

As for Konan... she lay beside them, quietly blinking her eyes, seemingly unconcerned.

Being easily satisfied, she was already very happy with her current life.

"Yes!" Kusana nodded and said with a smile, "After the Land of Eddies was destroyed, the Uzumaki Clan began to flee throughout the Ninja World. To avoid assassination by other ninjas, most of the surviving Uzumaki Clan members chose to live anonymously, scattered throughout the Ninja World!"

"Is that so~ No wonder Mom was always so cautious in everything she did since I was little! I thought Mom was just timid and planned to protect her when I grew up!"

I didn't expect it was because of that.

Mother must have been terrified of being discovered!

Nagato blinked, then frowned and asked, "Then why are they still hunting people from the Uzumaki Clan?"

"Because they fear the Uzumaki Clan's abilities and are afraid the Uzumaki Clan will rise again!"

"???"

"You'll know when you become a ninja," Kusana shook his head, not saying much more, and fell into thought with a slight frown.

A school...

Speaking of which, Kusagakure hasn't even established a school yet!

Apart from the major countries and large ninja villages, most small countries and small ninja villages in the Ninja World don't have ninja academies. They basically rely on their clans or find a ninja to be their teacher to learn ninjutsu.

It's just that Sunagakure, because the Daimyo of the Land of Wind stopped funding Sunagakure and also entrusted most of its missions to Konoha, Sunagakure had to switch to an elite training model due to lack of funds.

There are few students, and they receive specialized one-on-one training from Jonin within the village!

As for Kirigakure...

That's just a breeding ground for monsters!

Let's not even talk about it!

So.

"We need to build a school in the Land of Grass quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

"Dada dada~"

Footsteps approached. It seemed Kana and Fusang had finished their conversation.

"Ah, Lord Mang." x2

Both of their eyes were slightly red, suggesting they had likely been crying.

Fusang then pulled Nagato over, bowed deeply, and said earnestly, "Thank you so much! I won't refuse any request you have of me!"

"No need!" Kusana waved his hand and then looked at Kana, "Are there any other members of the Uzumaki Clan?"

He was quite interested in this nomadic great clan of the Ninja World!

If they were all brought to the Land of Grass, it would currently solve the problem of the Land of Grass having few Bloodline Limits.

"After we arrived in the Land of Rain, Konoha ninjas suddenly appeared and took away a girl from our clan. The Third Elder, worried about the Uzumaki Clan being discovered if they gathered together, told me to stay in the Land of Rain. Besides, I'm just an ordinary person, and as long as I live quietly, I won't be easily noticed," Fusang shook her head, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "The Third Elder... he seems to have headed north!"

"I was with the Fifth Elder and the Seventh Elder," Kana lowered her head dejectedly and said, "But the Fifth Elder was attacked and sacrificed by a group of ninjas, and everyone scattered! I originally wanted to go to Konoha, but I ended up wandering here."

"..."

It seemed that after the sudden attack by various clans, many people from the Uzumaki Clan had fled, including both civilians and ninjas.

However, even after the destruction of their clan in the Land of Eddies, they were still being pursued.

Now, no one knew where they had gone.

Kusana shook his head in disappointment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Never mind, I'll arrange for ninjas to investigate. Perhaps there will be other discoveries? It's getting late. Fusang, Nagato, and Konan must be tired. Get some rest early! Kana, you arrange for everyone to rest!"

He had been away for so many days, and there would be many things to deal with tomorrow!

"Oh, right! You haven't had dinner yet, have you! I saved some for you, it's on the table!"

With that said.

He yawned and turned towards his room.

"Lord Mang is truly a gentle person!"

As she spoke.

Fusang looked at Kusana's retreating back, and the memory of that night involuntarily surfaced in her mind, causing her face to blush slightly again.

"He is indeed very gentle!"

"Yeah! Mang is a good person!" Kana next to her nodded, then turned to look at Fusang, about to arrange for everyone to rest, when she looked at Fusang, who had blushed, in surprise. "Fusang, what's wrong? Your face is all red?"

"I-I... I might be a little hot."
