"Nagato Uzumaki?" Naruto stared wide-eyed, "Are you also from our clan?"
The old man nodded, and a complicated light flashed in his turbid eyes. "I have been guarding the cemetery of my clan here for twenty years. I never expected to see descendants come back."
"Gravekeeper?" Mina excitedly stepped forward to Earth Flow, "Grandpa Nagato, do you remember me? I am Mina. When I was a child, you taught me Fuinjutsu."
Nagato looked at Mina carefully, with a kind smile on his face, "Of course I remember that little girl who always stole my candies. She is so big now."
"Have you been here all these years?" Karin asked curiously, "Are you alone?"
"I'm not the only one." Nagato turned and pointed to the hillside in the distance, "There are a few old guys over there who are reluctant to leave their homeland."
Naruto became excited. "Great! This way we will have more manpower!"
"Wait a minute." Nagato waved his hand, "You said you want to rebuild Land of Whirlpools, what do you mean specifically?"
Sasuke briefly explained the plan. After listening, Nagato's expression became serious.
"Boy, you have a good idea, but the reality is not that simple." Nagato shook his head, "This land is cursed."
"Curse?" Everyone was stunned.
"That's right." Nagato's voice was deep, "When Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, Clan Head used his life to cast the strongest Fuinjutsu, sealing the resentment of all enemies under this land. In the past twenty years, these resentments have accumulated deeper and deeper, and now they are about to explode."
The air suddenly became solemn. Mina's face turned pale. "Resentment? What kind of resentment?"
"Too many enemies died here." Nagato sighed, "Their resentment turned into evil spirits and has been wandering underground. Every night, their wailing can be heard."
"Then why do you still stay here?" Uzumaki asked.
"Because someone must suppress them." Nagato raised the crutch in his hand, and everyone discovered that the crutch was engraved with complex Sealing Runes, "This is the Soul Reaper Staff left by Clan Head. Only the blood of the Uzumaki Clan can be used."
Sasuke frowned. "You mean, this land cannot be used normally?"
"Unless the curse is lifted." Nagato nodded, "But that requires extremely powerful Fuinjutsu, and the risk is very high."
"How much risk is there?" Naruto asked.
Nagato looked at him with complicated eyes. "If it fails, all the resentment will explode at once, and a hundred miles around will become a dead place."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. This news was too sudden.
"Then there is no other way?" Mina asked reluctantly.
"Yes." Nagato was silent for a moment, "It requires Nine-Tails's power."
Naruto was stunned. "Nine-Tails?"
"Nine-Tails is the strongest Tailed Beast, and its Chakra can purify all negative energy." Nagato explained, "If we can borrow the power of Nine-Tails and cooperate with our family's Fuinjutsu, we should be able to succeed."
"Then it's no problem." Naruto patted his belly, "Nine-Tails is inside my body."
"Wait." Sasuke stopped him, "Don't do this impulsively. If there is an accident, you may die."
"Just die." Naruto waved his hands indifferently, "How will you know if it works if you don't try it?"
"Idiot!" Sasuke grabbed him by the collar, "If you die, who will manage the reconstruction project?"
"You." Naruto said matter-of-factly.
"I'm not interested in management!"
Watching the two arguing, Karin couldn't help but laugh, "You guys are really the same."
"Why are you laughing!" Naruto and Sasuke stared at her at the same time.
Nagato was also amused by them. "Okay, stop arguing. This matter requires careful planning and cannot be done rashly."
"What do I need to prepare?" Mina asked.
"First, the complete Sealing Array method must be drawn." Nagato said, "Secondly, sufficient Chakra support is required. The most important thing is that it must be done at a specific time."
"What time?"
"Next month's new moon night." Nagato looked up at the sky, "That's when the Yin Qi is the strongest and the resentment is the most active. We must take the opportunity to solve it in one fell swoop."
"Is one month enough?" Uzumaki asked worriedly.
"That's enough." Nagato nodded, "During this period, you can get familiar with the environment here first, and I will teach you some basic Fuinjutsu."
In the next few days, everyone began to learn Fuinjutsu under the guidance of Nagato. Naruto's talent impressed everyone, and the complex Runes became simple in his hands.
"As expected of Kushina's son." Nagato said happily, "Your Fuinjutsu talent is even stronger than your mother's."
"Really?" Naruto jumped up with excitement, "I am finally better than Sasuke!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Childish."
Karin also showed amazing learning ability. Her perception ability allowed her to accurately grasp the flow of Chakra, and Fuinjutsu's accuracy was higher than others.
"It seems that the bloodline of our family has awakened." Mina said with emotion, "This is a good sign."
Just when everyone was practicing hard, an accident happened.
On the night of the fifth day, a group of men in black suddenly attacked their camp.
"Who?" Sasuke was instantly alert, and Rinnegan turned on.
"Jie Jie Jie..." The man in black led by the leader let out a weird laugh, "I didn't expect that someone really wants to rebuild Land of Whirlpools."
"Who are you?" Naruto stood up, and golden Chakra began to appear on his body.
"We are the remnants of Root." The man in black took off his mask, revealing a face full of scars, "Danzo may be dead, but our mission continues."
"Gen?" Nagato's face changed greatly, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course it's to prevent you from rebuilding Land of Whirlpools." The scar-faced man sneered, "Uzumaki Clan's Fuinjutsu is too dangerous to let you rise again."
"That's the rhetoric again." Sasuke snorted coldly, "You rats always like to do little tricks in the dark."
"Stop talking nonsense!" The scar-faced man waved his hand, "Kill them!"
More than a dozen men in black took action at the same time, and all kinds of ninjutsu came overwhelmingly.
Naruto and Sasuke immediately faced off, but the other side was obviously well prepared. Each man in black was strong and cooperated tacitly.
"The strength of these guys is not simple." Sasuke said while fighting, "At least they are all at Jonin level."
"It doesn't matter what level he is!" Naruto opened Sage Mode, "If they dare to cause trouble, beat them until they surrender!"
The battle was extremely fierce. Although Karin, Mina and others knew some ninjutsu, they were obviously unable to face enemies of this level.
"Protect Grandpa Nagato!" Mina shouted loudly.
Although Nagato is old, as the elder of the Uzumaki Clan, his strength cannot be underestimated. He raised Soul Reaper Staff and muttered something.
"Fuinjutsu·Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
