Uchiha and Anbu escorted Uzumaki Clan women, children and the elderly, and finally arrived at the gate of Konoha.
When the ninja guarding the gate saw them, he immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
Aoki said in a deep voice..
"Uzumaki Clan survivors have been brought back and need to be reported to Lord Hokage immediately."
Aoki glanced at the person Uzumaki Clan behind him, then turned to Mokume Koto and said.
"Thank you for escorting us all the way!"
Mokume Koto frowned..
You just brought Uzumaki Clan people back, now you have to take them away with you?
Is this because he is afraid that he will take away his credit?
Mokume Koto is thinking about Hatake Sakumo's instructions when the time comes.
She looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Body Flicker disappeared with Anbu and his group.
Aoki was not impressed by his attitude.
Lord Hokage had promised himself before that he would lead a dedicated team after entering Anbu.
The mission obtained this time is related to Konoha and Uzumaki Clan.
It is an excellent performance of meritorious service.
Having sacrificed so much on this mission, naturally the credit cannot be shared equally with others.
"What's wrong with you?"
Just then.
Five Uchiha people patrolling the street Guard Unit saw the situation here and came over quickly.
Aoki Uchiha looked at the five Guard Unit, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"This mission was a bit difficult, and many tribesmen were sacrificed."
Upon hearing this, the five people looked serious.
"What to do with these sacrificed tribesmen?"
Aoki Uchiha glanced at his team.
"Mashiki, you and Guard Unit's brothers will bring the sacrificed clan members back to the clan, and by the way, inform Clan Leader of the results of the incident!"
A disgraced Uchiha stood up and nodded.
He looked at the dead tribesmen, his face full of sadness.
"I still have a mission. I need to go to Lord Hokage. Let's go first!"
Aoki Uchiha didn't give Guard Unit's people a chance to say no.
He ordered directly to his subordinates.
"Let's go!"
With the person Uzumaki Clan, Aoki Uchiha went straight to Hokage Building.
Inside the Hokage Building..
Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting behind his desk, the smoke from his pipe slowly rising.
When Aoki and others entered the office, he raised his head and his eyes fell on them.
Then he looked at the Uzumaki Clan person standing aside and frowned slightly.
"Lord Hokage."
Aoki knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and reported.
"Uzumaki Clan survivors, a total of sixteen people, have been brought back safely."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and walked quickly past him.
When I walked up to the Uzumaki Clan, my face showed deep emotion.
He stretched out his hand to help an elderly Uzumaki man, his voice was gentle and solemn.
"Welcome to Konoha, Uzumaki Clan will always be Konoha's ally.
Konoha will always be your home!"
Uzumaki Clan's eyes were flashing with tears, and the old man said tremblingly.
"Lord Hokage... Thank you Lord Hokage for your kindness!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his shoulder, then turned to Anbu Ninja at the door.
"Go and notify Lady Mito and Kushina Uzumaki that Uzumaki Clan's people have arrived."
Anbu Ninja took the order and left.
Not long after, the office door was pushed open violently, and a red-haired figure rushed in like the wind.
"It's really you!"
Kushina Uzumaki's eyes were red and tears could not stop flowing down.
She quickly ran to the tribe and hugged the old man, her voice choked with sobs.
"Great... you are still alive..."
When Uzumaki Clan people saw Kushina, they gathered around him and talked about their experiences over the years.
"Kushina, we have been looking for you these years..."
"Thanks to the ninjas of Uchiha, otherwise we would..."
"..."
When Kushina heard the words "Uchiha", his body trembled slightly, and the figure of Chiyo instantly appeared in his mind.
She only told Chiyo about this matter!
She raised her head suddenly and looked at Aoki and the others, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Did you... save them?"
Aoki nodded.
"We went to the coast to search, but we didn't expect to find survivors."
Kushina's tears flowed even more uncontrollably..
She bit her lip. Last time she was kidnapped by the ninjas of Kumogakure, it was Chiyo Uchiha who brought her back.
Now, he even helped him bring some of his tribe members to Konoha. His feelings for Chiyo were a little intense for a while, and his eyes were filled with emotion.
My mood rises and falls like a roller coaster.
At this moment, the office door opened again, and Mito Uzumaki walked in slowly.
With a gentle smile on her face, she glanced at the Uzumaki Clan everyone and sighed.
"You are here!"
Her voice is calm and powerful, as if it can soothe all uneasiness.
When Uzumaki Clan people saw Mito, they all knelt down and saluted.
"Lady Mito!"
Mito gently raised her hand..
"No need to be polite."
She turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi and nodded slightly.
"Leave these people to me and I will arrange for them to stay."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
"Of course, as long as Lady Mito's arrangements are good, they will definitely get the best care."
Mito smiled and then said to the Uzumaki Clan.
"Come with me."
Kushina wiped his tears, supported an old tribesman, and left Hokage Building with Mito.
Aoki watched them leave, and then said to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Lord Hokage, the task has been completed, my subordinates are resigning."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him deeply..
"Wait!"
"Write a complete report on this mission and hand it over."
"Thank you for your hard work, please go back and rest first."
After Aoki saluted, he left Hokage Building with Uchiha's ninja.
After leaving.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has a sad look on his face.
"Is this also Uchiha's plan?"
Guard Unit Headquarters..
Chiyo was sitting at his desk, his face gloomy after listening to Maki Uchiha's report.
"In order to bring back Uzumaki Clan people, nine of my elite Uchiha people died?"
Maki bowed his head..
"During this period, we were ambushed by ninjas from other villages."
Chiyo's fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"Outer village ninja? Is there anyone with roots?"
Maki Uchiha had a sad face and was silent for a moment.
"Encountered it!"
"Didn't I say before that I won't let you conflict with the ninjas of Root? I, Uchiha, are all elites who can leave the village to complete this task. Why are so many people killed and injured!"
Chiyo's calm gaze made Maki Uchiha's heart tremble.
"It's Aoki Captain, who ordered us to protect Uzumaki Clan people!
The people in Root are crazy. They not only attack us, but also the people in the Uzumaki Clan. If the people in Anbu had not appeared in time, we might not have been able to come back..."
Anbu?
Chiyo felt something in his heart.
No wonder!
"You guys really disappoint me!"
Chiyo immediately interrupted him..
"Before, when I drove Clan Meeting, what did you say?
Except for war, no matter what mission you are doing, if there is danger, you should give priority to your own safety.
What did you do this time?
For the sake of a Uzumaki Bloodline who was wandering around after his country was destroyed, so many lives of my Uchiha people were sacrificed?
Are the lives of my Uchiha people not as important as the old, weak, sick and disabled Uzumaki Clan?!"
"Answer me!"
Maki heard Chiyo's words..
There was a slight wavering in my heart about this mission.
Could this mission be more important than the lives of the people?
Chiyo looked at the tangled Maki Uchiha, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes.
The Uchiha ninjas who died this time were all supporters of "Will of Fire".
Uchiha, who cannot be used by himself, may still be an obstacle to his family's progress in the future.
This group of people will never get Chiyo's heartache.
As long as the rescue mission of the Uzumaki Clan is completed!
However, as Uchiha's Clan Leader, we still have to do what we need to do.
The play that needs to be played still needs to be played.
It just so happens that we can make some use of these Uchiha dead people.
Whether it's to unite the family's will or to improve its reputation in the village!
These are what Chiyo needs to do now.
The current batch of brain-dead people controlled by Will of Fire.
If you sacrifice yourself to protect the village during the war, you are considered a Konoha hero.
The name will be engraved on Memorial Stone.
And now, just to bring back more Uzumaki Clan people!
Apart from being able to praise him for his hard work in front of Third Hokage, what else can he get in exchange?
"Notice, Clan Meeting will be held tonight."
Chiyo said coldly.
"Some people don't cherish the lives of our family members, but we must cherish them!
Tonight, let's bid farewell to the clan members who sacrificed their lives."
Yashiro and Fugaku at the door of the room nodded solemnly for a moment.
"Yes!!"
