Early to late June.
As the wedding date with the Uzumaki Clan approached, Yayoi sent Kakuzu's close confidant Jonin to the Uzumaki Clan to perform the welcoming and escorting mission just like the last time he married Kicho.
By the way, since being shocked by Madara's power more than a year ago, Kakuzu has been secretly working hard and practicing extremely cruel and arduous training these days.
In order to show his determination to become stronger, even the time spent playing cards with his three sisters and wives at home has been significantly reduced.
The purpose is to one day be able to block Madara's blow head-on, instead of being beaten down by a bunch of inexplicable and unknown attacks like the others.
After all, when he was fighting against Madara, the opponent didn't even strike him seriously with a sword, but only used the aftermath of his sword energy to knock him away. This was really disrespectful.
For this reason, he has now not only replenished the final Wind Release heart, but also on this basis, he will continue to practice and strengthen the five attributes Ninjutsu, hoping to reach a higher state.
And everything he did was not to prove how great he was, but to tell others that the shame he had suffered must be washed away by himself!
After several days of trekking, Kakuzu led a mixed force of traveling ninjas and Samurai, and finally arrived at Uzushiogakure established by the Uzumaki Clan.
"Two years have passed, and a lot has changed here."
After an absence of two years, Kakuzu came to Uzushiogakure again as an envoy. Looking at the greatly changed village, he sighed sincerely.
Although it cannot be compared with a city like Nightview City, the architectural specifications of Uzushiogakure have opened up a substantial gap with many small countries, and it is becoming more and more like a city.
In a few years, maybe it will change drastically and become even more prosperous.
This is due to Land of Night's funding, but Uzumaki Clan's own efforts are also one of the key factors and cannot be ignored.
"Speaking of which, Uzumaki Clan is a ninja clan that established a country and a ninja village alone. It's really amazing."
Hoshigaki Kairyu, who came to the Uzumaki Clan as the deputy of the mission, saw the ninja village in front of him that was full of vitality and constantly advancing and developing, and was impressed by the Uzumaki Clan's extremely terrifying and profound heritage.
Uzumaki Clan was the first to establish a country and a ninja village with the power of a family, and it was also the only successful example of Ninja World.
When Uzumaki Clan founded the country and built the village, many ninjas followed suit, but in the end they all ended up being exterminated and disappeared from Ninja World. No ninja dared to touch this taboo anymore.
Just like the situation with Land of Night, it is a product that is difficult to replicate successfully.
"Well, the only problem is that the structure is simple and the ability to resist risks is weak. However, with the existence of Konoha, these are not big problems."
Kakuzu nodded.
After following Yayoi for so many years, he is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill people. It can be seen at a glance that Uzumaki Clan's foundation cannot withstand too many storms. Even a few setbacks can make this new country miserable.
But if Konoha is also included, Uzumaki Clan naturally has no risk.
After all, Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan, who established Konoha, are not just related by marriage.
"Don't be too nervous. Just follow the arrangements here. Generally speaking, no unsighted person will ruin this wedding."
Kakuzu noticed that Hoshigaki Kairyu's nerves were a little tense and spoke to comfort him.
As the international situation stabilizes, the frequency of invading each other's territories and assassinating top leaders of various countries in the past has dropped significantly compared to a few years ago.
"Having said that, I heard from Mr. Yuroketsu that the last time he escorted Mrs. Kicho, he was ambushed halfway."
Azure Dragon In order to ensure that this mission can be completed smoothly, we did enough homework in advance.
Including Yuroketsu, the Intelligence Division minister, learned that the last wedding of General was ambushed by unknown persons on the way to welcome the woman.
The mastermind of the ambush has special abilities that even Byakugan and Aburame Clan Secret Technique cannot detect.
Although it finally landed safely, there is no guarantee that something similar will not happen again.
"It does happen. So this time, in order to ensure that the mission is foolproof, not only did Jonin bring Hyuga Clan and Aburame Clan, the team was also equipped with a special Sensory ninja. Moreover, not only our side, Uzumaki Clan will also send multiple Sensory ninjas to follow."
Kakuzu glanced at the Hyuga Clan and Aburame Clan Jonin in the accompanying team, plus various types of Sensory ninjas. Even Tsuchikage Personal Guard could not approach without any sound.
And a ninja of that level would obviously not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself.
Now the most powerful ninjas in Ninja World are basically from Five Great Nations and Land of Night. Even if the other small countries want to do something, they are basically incompetent.
Azure Dragon nodded, confirming Kakuzu's careful arrangement.
But his body still hasn't completely relaxed, because the importance of this mission can be said to be of the highest level. The last time he went to Land of Bears to capture the meteorite 'star', in terms of mission level, it was completely incomparable with this escort mission.
As a die-hard loyal general, Azure Dragon has decided in his heart to be one thousand percent vigilant to ensure that there will be no mistakes along the way.
Kakuzu led everyone to formally enter Uzushiogakure. Under the arrangement of the reception staff, he met Uzumaki Clan patriarch Uzumaki Ashina.
The other party is also the village chief of Land of Whirlpool Daimyo and Uzushiogakure.
Compared to the time we met two years ago, the other person's body has aged more seriously.
"Ashina Patriarch, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Kakuzu looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him - Uzumaki Ashina, and bowed respectfully.
Behind Ashina, stood several elders of the Uzumaki Clan.
Many elders' hair is half red and half white. Only one elder's hair color is still red, but the color is also dull. It is obvious that he is not young.
"Ahem, anyway, just come on time. We have already made arrangements for the itinerary."
Ashina coughed twice. Although he looked old and frail, his speech was still clear and his brain's thinking ability remained clear.
Kakuzu had to sigh that Uzumaki Clan has a strong physique and is worthy of the legendary longevity family.
When this Ashina patriarch was young, he was also a member of the Uzumaki Clan's martial arts faction. He fought in the north and south all year round and experienced many bloody storms.
If it were another old man with severe trauma, he should have been lying in bed unable to move or even died at this age, but Ashina could still maintain a clear mind and walk as fast as flying.
Based on his condition, he might be able to survive for another two years.
"It's the same for me here. The itinerary is as agreed in advance and there is no need to change it."
Hearing Kakuzu's affirmative reply, Ashina nodded.
Although this kind of thing is a process, for Land of Night and Uzumaki Clan, this superficial form is a necessary etiquette.
It's not so much a wedding as it is a 'contract' of formal alliance.
Since the engagement was made two years ago, Land of Night has provided a lot of resources to the Uzumaki Clan, and has also contracted many large-scale construction projects at preferential rates, helping Uzumaki Clan to quickly build a country and get rid of the embarrassing situation of having nothing to lose.
Uzumaki Clan also gave a lot of feedback, including the complete structure of the Medical Ninja system that Yayoi values most. Now Uzumaki Clan has trained many Medical Ninjas for Land of Night E's new blood, the most important thing is that Land of Night learned the complete Medical Ninja education system from the Uzumaki Clan, and can be self-sufficient and continuously cultivate Medical Ninja.
Land of Night and Uzumaki Clan are both very satisfied with this mutually beneficial result. With this wedding, the honeymoon period for both parties may reach a new height and last longer.
Under the arrangement of Ashina, Kakuzu and others stayed at Uzushiogakure for two days, and finally came the day to return to Land of Night.
In addition to him and Hoshigaki Kairyu, the escort team Kakuzu brought this time included fifty ninjas and fifty Samurai.
Apart from these, the most eye-catching thing was the huge machine car that followed them.
The main body is made of a mixture of solid wood and steel. A large number of gold and jade ornaments are hung on the outside to add beauty and magnificence. Several strings of wind chimes swing in the wind, swaying to a beautiful melody.
Below are eight huge circular rollers, connected to the mechanism console that drives the car forward.
There are four ninjas who are good at Puppet Technique on the console. They are responsible for controlling this huge, mobile fortress-like machine.
Although it was known that Land of Night's machine puppet technology was superior to Ninja World's, after actually seeing the real thing, the accompanying Uzumaki Clan ninja was still amazed.
Except for General Puppeteer from Land of Night, no one else could make such a huge machine puppet that can be ridden by people.
Soon, Uzumaki Hisana, as the married heroine, accompanied by two maids on the left and right, leaned towards this machine car that was taller than a house.
She was currently wearing a red and white witch costume and a white gauze hat on her head. Her appearance was somewhat unclear under the gauze hat.
However, the red and white miko costume is paired with many gold and jade ornaments, which adds a bit of splendor and nobility to the monotonous color.
Hisana lowered his head and before he got close to the car, he saw many huge rollers that were a head taller than him.
She was so curious that she couldn't help but look up and saw a house made of steel and solid wood.
A house built on a vehicle.
"???"
Hisana My scalp feels a little itchy and my brain can't turn around. What is this?
I'm going to get married on this weird thing next?
Although it looks quite beautiful, I still feel something is a little weird.
She doubted whether it could run with such a bulky thing.
"Idiot, lower your head and don't look around outside."
A voice came from the side, it was Uzumaki Nene, one of the dowry maids.
She has silver-white hair and wears a witch costume.
She seemed to notice Hisana's behavior and quickly scolded him.
Only then did Hisana react and quickly lowered his head again. With the support of Nene and another maid, he slowly walked up the ladder of the machine and entered the car.
As soon as she entered, Hisana sat down on a chair and took a deep breath. It was obvious that the solemn and quiet atmosphere outside had suffocated her.
When she was outside just now, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at her. The feeling of being looked at like a monkey made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Various embarrassing scenarios began to appear in my mind, such as whether I had worn my clothes inside out, whether there were grains of rice left in the corner of my mouth, whether my miko uniform had been accidentally cut, whether my body was so panicked that I was using my hands and feet...
You have to be careful every step of the way, for fear of making any mistake or making a joke.
