Chapter 64 Danzo's Clever Outmaneuver of the Uzumaki Clan
The white-haired Uzumaki clan chief personally welcomed Danzo Shimura and his companions, who had disguised themselves, into Uzumaki Village.
Similar to the Land of Fire's dual-jewel policy, the Land of Whirlpools was divided into two systems: the daimyo managed the capital and the clan chief managed the villages, but both were under the jurisdiction of the Whirlpool clan.
Uzugakure is the most powerful and only military institution in the Land of Whirlpools.
The simple reception room contained a single table.
"We are currently at war, so please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!"
The vortex clan chief wore a polite smile, but inwardly he was somewhat uncertain.
These guys claim to be from the Senju clan, but their chakra is strange.
It lacks any vibrant vitality or the comfort it provides.
Instead, it was filled with a strong, cold atmosphere.
If his chakra reserves weren't so considerable, he wouldn't have personally come to greet him.
"Which branch of the Thousand Hands do you belong to?" the whirlpool clan leader asked casually.
"Heh, there are no branches or main branches now. Konoha only has the Senju clan," Shimura Danzo sneered, a look of indignation playing on his lips.
The vortex clan chief understood, and his gaze swept over the several lifeless members of the Dark Guard.
These guys are probably Senju branch members who followed Tobirama's policy, leaving their clan and integrating into the village.
No wonder the chakra is so cold and sinister.
What a pity, is the ninja world an easy place to survive?
Without the support of a powerful family, if the business grows even slightly, it will immediately cause big trouble!
I don't know what Tobirama was thinking, making such a foolish decision!
"Since that's the case, you should be considered people of Konoha Village now. Did the Hokage send you here? What's the matter?" The Uzumaki clan chief's tone was less friendly.
He had heard about the frequent exchanges between the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha, and about the suppression of the Senju clan within Konoha.
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly; suppressing the powerful clans was indeed the right thing to do.
He only has eyes for the Senju and no regard for Konoha, and his words show no respect for the Hokage whatsoever!
"For a piece of information!" Shimura Danzo calmly handed over a scroll: "It concerns the future of the Land of Whirlpools. At the same time, I intend to do something beneficial for both Konoha and the Uzumaki clan."
"intelligence?"
The vortex clan leader frowned. "Who is your identity?"
What gives them the right to directly represent Konoha?
It also concerns the safety of the Land of Whirlpools?
It was nothing more than an attack by Kirigakure.
Even though I'm in a defensive position right now, I'm not afraid of the Hidden Mist at all!
He took the scroll, refrained from using words, and began to read it carefully.
"What? There's friction between Sunagakure and Konoha?" The Uzumaki clan leader looked puzzled, but remained polite and didn't immediately launch into a tirade.
What does it have to do with me, Uzumaki, if Konoha and Sunagakure get into a fight?
Danzo Shimura explained, "The Land of Rain's invasion of Konoha and the killing of Senju Ryuma could almost be considered a declaration of war against Konoha."
Meanwhile, Sunagakure Village invaded the borders of the Land of Fire, leading to frequent clashes between the two sides.
Throughout this process, Iwagakure remained silent and did not engage in any major conflicts with Kumogakure.
Similarly, Yunyin did not show up either.
We strongly suspect that Kirigakure may have persuaded Iwagakure and Kumogakure to launch a joint attack on Uzushiogakure!
This is a 'lie'; Danzo Shimura's influence is limited.
He has injuries, but he is not crippled, and he is not yet so depraved.
The invasion by Iwagakure and Kumogakure was merely one 'possibility' he proposed.
The 'possibility' was fabricated specifically to scare the Uzumaki family.
Let's not even mention Iwagakure; it's so far away, how could they possibly attack Uzushiogakure?
As for Kumogakure, it suffered the greatest losses in the last Shinobi World War!
The attack by Kinkaku and Ginkaku on the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage was not an act of treason, but a blatant coup!
The foundation for a coup is having the support of a certain number of ninjas!
It is easy to imagine how many excellent ninjas Kumogakure lost after the Gold and Silver Horn coup!
Perhaps ten years won't be enough for recovery!
Absolutely...certainly...probably unable to erupt into a major conflict with Iwagakure.
"what?"
The vortex clan chief was stunned for a moment, his expression changed slightly, but he immediately calmed down: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"If Kumogakure (Cloud Village) can still attack Uzushiogakure (Whirlpool Country), how could Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village) attack us?"
He appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little panicked inside!
The person in front of me means that the Senju clan is temporarily tied up by the Sand Village and the Land of Rain.
The hatred between the clan chief and his family is irreconcilable.
Other clans in Konoha may not be willing to support the Uzumaki clan.
If the Hidden Cloud Village joins the raid on the Land of Whirlpools, it's hard to say what the future holds for the Land of Whirlpools.
If we add Iwagakure as well...
"Clan Chief Uzumaki, are you perhaps too forgetful? Have you forgotten that the Second Tsuchikage and the Second Mizukage perished together?"
The Uzumaki clan chief's heart sank, and he shifted his gaze to Shimura Danzo, saying firmly, "So what? The Uzumaki clan is not afraid of sacrifice!"
"And you? Knowing this information, you must be someone of considerable importance, right?"
"Why take such a huge risk to visit the Land of Whirlpools?"
Seeing that the other party was frightened by him, Shimura Danzo lost patience and spoke decisively: "Now, the Land of Whirlpools is a dangerous place, and it is not suitable for the Uzumaki clan to stay any longer."
"You want us to migrate to Konoha with you? Don't even think about it! This is our ancestral land, and no one can force us to leave!"
The whirlpool clan chief's decisive refusal relieved Danzo Shimura.
If this old man really is willing to lead the Uzumaki clan to Konoha, then things will be troublesome!
"I admire the clan leader's fearlessness in the face of sacrifice, but shouldn't you think of the children first?" Shimura Danzo drew his ultimate weapon and said earnestly, "You don't want the Uzumaki clan to lose its heritage completely, do you?"
