Chapter 12

"How had Uzumaki Clan Head considered it?" Liu Feng asked Uzumaki Akira.

"I can agree to let you take away some of my clansmen, but you cannot allow them to suffer the slightest injury. Otherwise, the Uzumaki clan will make your Uchiha clan pay the price."

Uzumaki Akira looked at Liu Feng and spoke expressionlessly.

A smile appeared on Liu Feng's face. Uzumaki Akira agreeing meant there should be no problem with completing his mission.

"But you must also make it clear—when will you bring my clansmen back?"

"Rest assured, I'll take them away for no more than four days. I'll have them return after four days. The premise is that your Uzumaki clan does not encounter a crisis."

Liu Feng was in an excellent mood. The completion of the S-rank Mission was within reach. With 100,000 Points, the Uzumaki Sage Body, and Adamantine Sealing Chains as rewards, he would not be far from unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Of the three missions, the mission to Unlock Three Tomoe Sharingan had already been completed. Liu Feng had obtained 10,000 Points and Lightning Style: Chidori.

The Mangekyō Sharingan cost 150,000 Points. As long as he completed this S-rank Mission, he would have over 110,000 Points, leaving him less than 40,000 Points short of exchanging for the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Once he obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, Liu Feng would truly soar. In a few more years, his strength would naturally reach Kage Level.

"Also, I have one more condition."

Uzumaki Akira spoke while Liu Feng was feeling pleased.

Liu Feng was somewhat displeased, but he still held it in. I'm genuinely helping you people, yet you're still negotiating terms with me.

"If the Uzumaki clan does not encounter a crisis after four days, then aside from the Uchiha clan's Ninjutsu Scrolls, you must also provide resources worth 300 million Ryo and sign a contract to prevent you from going back on your word afterward."

300 million Ryo was no small sum. Even for a major clan, it was a considerable amount.

The Uzumaki clan had now declined and was somewhat short on funds, so they needed money or resources.

"Fine, I agree to that."

Liu Feng had thought he would raise some excessive condition. Although it was indeed rather excessive, Liu Feng saw this as a guaranteed win. Those 300 million Ryo in resources were merely something to mention.

In the end, Uchiha Cloud personally signed the contract. Uzumaki Akira would not accept it if Liu Feng signed it himself.

Although Liu Feng was the Great Elder's grandson, Uchiha Cloud's status as the Third Elder was more useful when it truly mattered. Even if he did not hold much real power, he could represent the Uchiha family to a certain extent.

After signing the contract, Uzumaki Akira handed fifty-one clansmen over to Liu Feng. Originally, Uzumaki Akira had wanted to give him thirty people, but Liu Feng had to talk himself hoarse before getting fifty-one.

As for why it was fifty-one, the mission required ensuring that more than fifty Uzumaki clansmen survived. What if fifty people were not enough to complete the mission? Liu Feng played it safe and asked for one more.

"I advise Uzumaki Clan Head to prepare yourself. Since I dared to sign that kind of contract with you, you should be able to tell whether my words are true or false. You'd best take all your clansmen and leave the Land of Whirlpools first."

As he was leaving, Liu Feng said this to Uzumaki Akira.

However, Uzumaki Akira remained completely unmoved, or at least he did not appear persuaded on the surface.

Liu Feng was furious. He had actually hoped that more Uzumaki clansmen would survive, because he sincerely wanted to form an alliance with the Uzumaki clan.

"Uzumaki Clan Head, when you truly encounter a crisis, just flee with your clansmen. I'll have people receive you in the Western Sea Area of the Land of Whirlpools."

"But I hope Uzumaki Clan Head understands that we will prioritize our own safety then. If it is too dangerous, don't blame us for standing by and doing nothing."

After saying this to Uzumaki Akira, Liu Feng left with his people.

Although the result was not the best outcome Liu Feng had expected, it was already quite good for him. At the very least, the mission could definitely be completed.

Afterward, Liu Feng had these Uzumaki clansmen alter their appearances, especially concealing their conspicuous red hair. Only after disguising them as ordinary civilians did he lead them out of the Land of Whirlpools.

It was certain that there were spies in the Land of Whirlpools, so Liu Feng was extremely cautious. Even they removed their Konoha forehead protectors and took off clothes bearing the Uchiha clan crest, disguising themselves as civilians.

"Liu Feng, if the Uzumaki clan does not encounter danger, our Uchiha clan will suffer a huge loss," Uchiha Cloud said to Liu Feng.

If Liu Feng had not desperately signaled him with his eyes, Uchiha Cloud definitely would not have signed that contract.

"Rest assured, Uncle Cloud. I will not harm the Uchiha clan's interests."

"I'll trust you brat once. If you get me burned this time, I'll charge you ten times the bride price." Uchiha Cloud shot Liu Feng a fierce glare.

He still felt it was unreliable, but the contract had already been signed. Regretting it now was useless.

"How do you plan to arrange them next?"

Uchiha Cloud glanced at the Uzumaki clansmen and asked Liu Feng.

"First, we'll take them back to Konoha." Liu Feng was very cautious. Keeping them outside was never truly safe.

Only by entering Konoha could the mission be truly completed safely. After all, even if Danzo really interfered in the Uzumaki clan's extermination, he could not possibly attack Uzumaki clansmen within Konoha.

After spending more than a day traveling, Liu Feng brought the fifty-one Uzumaki clansmen back to Konoha.

He did not brazenly lead the Uzumaki clansmen into Konoha. Instead, he made arrangements with the Uchiha clansmen guarding Konoha's gates and entered Konoha without registering.

The Uchiha clan was currently responsible for guarding Konoha's gates, which made things very convenient. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, did not know that Liu Feng had brought over fifty Uzumaki clansmen into Konoha.

Afterward, Liu Feng brought the fifty-one Uzumaki clansmen into the Uchiha family and temporarily settled them down. With Liu Feng's status, arranging this for them was very easy.

[Ding, 'S-rank Mission: Rescue the Uzumaki Clan' completed. Rewards obtained: 100,000 Points, Uzumaki Sage Body, Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains!]

"The mission was completed?" Liu Feng showed a puzzled expression upon hearing the system prompt.

Xiao Meng's voice entered Liu Feng's ears, answering his question. "The system can confirm that these fifty-one Uzumaki clansmen will not be in danger, so the rewards have been issued directly. However, if an accident truly occurs during these four days, the rewards will be taken back."

Chapter 12

"It's like receiving the rewards in advance. Not bad."

Liu Feng clenched his fists. His Points had increased by 100,000, and after obtaining the Uzumaki Sage Body, his Chakra had surged more than tenfold. He also felt that his body had grown somewhat stronger.
