"You two..."
Kushina Uzumaki was startled awake by the sudden appearance of Minato Namikaze and Mirei Uzumaki. She blushed at her own actions, but also felt a little lost, as if she wished that the moment had lasted longer and that Uya could have done something.
Uya also looked at Minato Namikaze and Mirei Uzumaki with a strange expression.
How did they both end up running here together?!
Minato Namikaze and Mirei Uzumaki also realized what was happening, and both of them were slightly embarrassed.
"Well, Mirei sensed Kushina's Chakra. It was an emergency, so we didn't notify the village. I came here directly with her."
"Uh... so how did you and her get together before?"
Kushina asked in surprise, then looked at Mirei Uzumaki, whose gaze was somewhat evasive, and suddenly realized, unable to help but exclaim in surprise.
"So, Mirei, you were disappearing like a ghost every day because you were stalking me..."
"Shut up!!"
Mirei Uzumaki rushed forward and covered Kushina's mouth with her hand, her own face flushing the same rosy hue as Kushina's.
The two girls stood together, and even Uya shrugged helplessly, feeling somewhat unable to tell them apart.
"Haha... well... Uya, it's great that you arrived in time to save Kushina." Minato Namikaze didn't hesitate and immediately understood.
He scratched his hair somewhat awkwardly.
Uya glanced at Minato Namikaze. If the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Mirei Uzumaki, then it would be almost a complete role reversal.
However, Kushina was still the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which made Uya a little strange, so he didn't say much to Minato Namikaze.
The group slowly returned along the direction of the village and soon encountered some Konoha ninjas. When they learned that Uya had saved Kushina, no one showed any surprise.
Uya's strength was already abnormally high, and he had such a good relationship with Kushina, so it was only natural for him to save her.
However, upon learning that the Kumogakure Surprise Attack Force Uya, the Konoha Ninja and even the Anbu Ninja were all horrified.
The Kumogakure Surprise Attack Force is even smaller than the Iwagakure Surprise Attack Force's, consisting of only one unit, and speed-type ninjas are far more difficult to train than those who infiltrate underground.
This unit has launched numerous surprise attacks on Konoha and Iwagakure, achieving remarkable feats with very few casualties.
But now, they've all been wiped out by Uya!
As expected of someone who could invade Sunagakure and kill the Third Kazekage, his strength is truly unfathomable!
In an unknown place in the Shinobi World, in a dark underground area.
Madara Uchiha was calculating something with his eyes closed. His body was almost completely decayed, and even with the help of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he probably couldn't hold on for many more years.
We must handle the aftermath during this period.
After a while, White Zetsu emerged from the wall next to him.
"They've already returned to Konoha. I can't keep tracking them, or that guy might find out."
Madara Uchiha opened his eyes, looked at White Zetsu, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and then suddenly revealed a slightly mocking expression.
" Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Clan, Eight Trigrams Seal... the same old routine."
"Although Uya has many mysterious aspects, the fact that he still cares about people means he has weaknesses."
"If there's a weakness, then it can be controlled."
Hearing Madara Uchiha's words, White Zetsu nodded in deep agreement.
Konoha.
Uya, who returned with Kushina and the others, first took Kushina home, then walked indifferently through the streets of Konoha, heading towards the Hokage Building.
" The Cloud Ninja are really bold. They wouldn't have bothered me if they hadn't come to provoke me, but now they're deliberately causing trouble. It just so happens that my Spirit Transformation Technique has hit a bottleneck, so it's time to go to the Kumogakure and find the Third Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique!"
A cold glint appeared in Uya's eyes, and all the ninjas walking on the dark streets couldn't help but tremble slightly when they met Uya gaze.
Uya cultivated the Spirit Transformation Technique for a long time, strengthening his soul, which in turn enhanced Uya aura and caused him to completely internalize Uya spirit and aura.
Unlike before, when he was sharp and aggressive, exuding a menacing aura in the Land of Rain.
Now that Uya has restrained his aura, he looks like an ordinary person. However, if you look into Uya's eyes, you can feel a kind of deep and terrifying abyss!
Soon, Uya arrived at the Hokage Building.
" Lord Uya!"
The ninjas guarding the Hokage Building were startled to see Uya, and quickly bowed to Uya.
Uya glanced above, and after confirming with his Shockwave Sensing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was in the Hokage's office, he vanished in a flash, as if he had disappeared into thin air.
After Uya's figure disappeared, a gust of wind swept by, causing the clothes of the ninjas to flutter wildly.
Several ninjas showed a look of shock and awe on their faces.
"This is Lord Uya's speed..."
Uya went straight to the outside of Hokage Hokage's office. The door was open, and it was clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi a terrible predicament because Kushina had been captured.
Uya walked straight into the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had just received the news that Kushina had been rescued and was relieved when he saw Uya walk in.
After a slight pause, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, " Uya, thank you for your help again. It's good that the Kumogakure didn't succeed."
" The Kumogakure is really bold. They're still at war with the Iwagakure, yet they've already extended their reach to the Konoha Konoha Village, daring to come and capture people, and they almost actually did."
Uya walked directly to the sofa next to him and sat down. He spoke in a calm tone, but a chilling aura instantly spread, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop several degrees.
Uya originally had no designs on Kumogakure, but now that they dared to attack Kushina, no matter what their purpose was, Uya could not stand idly by!
Uya came to the Hokage's office to remind Hiruzen Sarutobi that Konoha's protection of Kushina was inadequate!
Although the words were directed at Kumogakure, they were undoubtedly also a direct address to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Sensing Uya's undisguised chilling killing intent, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill run down his spine. He had only ever learned about Uya's strength through intelligence reports and had never witnessed it firsthand. Now, experiencing it up close, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.
A war can truly change a person completely!
"Yes, Iwagakure has been steadily losing ground and is only capable of defending. After all, we severely damaged them before."
"Fortunately, Kumogakure didn't succeed this time. Otherwise, if the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had been captured and brought to Kumogakure, even if our two villages went to war, we would have been severely hampered. The village's protection of Kushina was indeed insufficient."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression wasn't good either; after taking a deep breath, he also wore a cold expression.
Obviously, this matter cannot be left unresolved!
Uya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and nodded noncommittally.
It's not the peaceful period depicted in the original story, but rather a time of war. Even a squad of Anbu Ninja secretly protecting Kushina wouldn't be unreasonable.
Although this is a plot point from the original story, it still makes Uya unable to tolerate it. (To be continued.)
