Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 451 Return to Konoha
The next day dawned, and it was a rare overcast day without rain.

The entire Whirlpool Clan arrived at the fox's treehouse. The ground was flooded; in the rainforest, living in trees was the only option.

Nightlight stepped out of the treehouse, waved his hand to create a platform using Wood Release, and said to the forty-odd Uzumaki ninja below:

"The hiding place of the Whirlpool Clan has been exposed, and the Land of Rain is not safe."

Princess Tsunade of the Senju clan is now the sole advisor under the Hokage of Konoha.

The Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin. I know you have mixed feelings about Konoha Village, but survival comes first.

Only by surviving can there be a future; only by surviving can there be everything.

Please enter Konoha Village. This is my intention, and it is also Princess Tsunade's intention.

I promise you that I will guarantee your safety in Konoha.

Princess Tsunade will resolve your identity issues.

Older people, such as those with whirlpools and tides, are more likely to accept the fox's explanation.

Survival comes first; this is a truth in the ninja world.

The young people, including Xuanwu Yuanchao, wore expressions of resentment.

If they just join Konoha like this, what was the point of all those years of hiding?
What does it matter that they endure the damp rain every day deep in the land of rain?
Whirlpool Sea Tide pressed down on Yuan Chao's shoulder and said:

"Don't argue with Lord Fox, Danzo is already dead."

Without Lord Fox's protection these past few years, we would not have been able to survive in the Land of Rain.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Konoha was unable to rescue Uzushiogakure.

The Third Shinobi World War is about to begin, and Konoha will be too late to rescue us deep in the Land of Rain!

Without the protection of powerful figures like Lady Fox and Princess Tsunade, we would be targeted by other ninja villages, just like yesterday, and devoured without leaving a trace.

Whirlpool Source Tide closed his eyes, forced to accept Uncle Tide's explanation.

Kushina Uzumaki also stepped forward and said, "Please believe me, everyone. I am the woman who will become Hokage!"

"The Uzumaki clan will definitely have a better life in Konoha than deep within the Land of Rain!"

Nightlight glanced at Kushina Uzumaki and said, "Why are you still clamoring to become Hokage?"

Is becoming Hokage so easy?
Yuuka Uzumaki took charge and held a vote, agreeing to the decision to join Konoha.

The Uzumaki clan left their hiding place and headed towards Konoha.

Actually, Ye Guang could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to send them all to Konoha, but there was no need to do it so quickly.

Tsunade, having received news of the Uzumaki clan's return, will inform the village.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi agrees, that would be best.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi disagrees, then...wouldn't that be even better?

It's been over four years, and Hiruzen Sarutobi has been so well-behaved that people have almost forgotten what he did before. They need a new charge to provoke Yagami and Tsunade.

Besides the higher-ups, the attitudes of the villagers are also very important.

Tsunade needs some time to handle these issues.

The group traveled through the rainforests of the Land of Rain.

There were too many people to hide.

Having traveled from the southeast of the Land of Rain to the south, Kushina Uzumaki suddenly turned her head.

A large number of ninjas were rushing towards them from the side.

"Watch out! There's someone at the 1 o'clock position!"

The Uzumaki clan members had to stop, as more than 200 ninjas blocked their path.

The leader was Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure.

Ye Guang thought to himself, "Hanzo's control over the Land of Rain is far too weak."

The Iwa and Sunagakure ninjas came to the Land of Rain, but he knew nothing about it.

After being defeated by Nagato, Hanzo's strength and mentality were both greatly diminished.

Hanzo's spine was broken, and he was no longer the ninja who dared to call himself a demigod in his youth.

Hanzo stood atop the salamander, staring at the Uzumaki clan member before him:
"So many remnants of the vortex are hiding in my Rain Country? Is the Rain Country a place you can come and go as you please?"

Madara Uchiha's subordinates were very strong, so Hanzo had no choice but to accept it.

How dare some remnants of the vortex openly traverse the Land of Rain?

I heard that the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, sent people to deal with the remnants of the Uzumaki clan, but for some reason they failed, and the Iwa ninja withdrew from the Land of Rain.

If he could capture some remnants of the Uzumaki clan and send them to Onoki to help Iwagakure perfect its sealing techniques, Onoki would likely want him to get a share of the spoils in the Third Shinobi World War. His cloak was drawn low, preventing the Rain Ninja from seeing him.

He said to Kushina beside him, "Princess Kushina, you have been training for more than four years. Go and test the results of your training."

The Iwa ninja and Sunagakure ninja you encountered before didn't have strong fighting spirit, so they didn't test your combat strength.

You are about to face Hanzo, a speed-type ninja who calls himself a demigod of the ninja world.

Defeat him and pave the way for the Whirlpool Clan to escape the Land of Rain.

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and waded through the puddles, walking step by step toward Hanzo.

Hanzo was somewhat surprised to see a young woman walking towards him.

The Uzumaki clan has fallen so low that they actually sent an underage ninja to negotiate with us.

However, what awaited Hanzo was not negotiation, but a fox's claw.

Kushina instantly emanated the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The translucent Nine-Tails chakra formed fox claws before it could even form a tail.

The fox claw was originally a huge spiral ball with a diameter of over one meter.

Kushina's control over the Nine-Tails' chakra is becoming increasingly refined.

Nightlight nodded repeatedly. The village had guarded Kushina too closely. This was Kushina's first time facing a strong enemy, but she wasn't intimidated at all and immediately unleashed her strongest attack.

Under Hanzo's gas mask, he suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

Who is this?

Where did this genius come from?
Does someone who's not even an adult have such strength?

He quickly stomped on the salamander under his feet, signaling it to get away.

The salamander lay down, and Hanzo instantly disappeared.

The Rain Ninja behind Hanzo were doomed.

The leader of Amegakure fled in the face of a powerful enemy, but his loyal subordinates took the brunt of Kushina's Rasengan with their own flesh and blood.

The Rasengan directly enveloped the upper body of a Rain Ninja, causing the Rain Ninja's flesh to spin and stretch, before being pulled backward by the Rasengan.

The two Rain Ninja behind him were also spun around by the Rasengan, their flesh and blood flying out.

The Rasengan exploded in the rear, killing several more Rain Ninja.

Hanzo appeared in the distance with a flash, and was astonished by the power of the Rasengan.

Does the Uzumaki clan have such a genius?
When he turned to look at Kushina, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Kushina's chakra is complete; it's... a demon fox?
Hanzo exclaimed in disbelief, "Nine...Nine-Tails!"

The shape of that translucent chakra cloak was clearly that of the Nine-Tails! The Nine-Tails of Konoha!

Although Hanzo had never fought the Nine-Tails, he had heard of its appearance.

"Konoha actually let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki leave the village. Before the Fourth Shinobi World War even broke out, weren't they afraid that other villages would hunt down the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Hanzo's question went unanswered. The next instant, Kushina, in her Six-Tails Chakra Cloak form, charged toward him.

Nine chained tails took turns lashing at Hanzo.

The fox's tail can be extended at will, and with the addition of the Vajra Chain as its framework, it becomes exceptionally powerful.

Each lash of its tail can carve a deep trench in the rain.

Not only that, the kunai and even the explosive tags that the Rain Ninja threw at the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were all blocked by the fox tail!
With just six tails, it can achieve both offense and defense.

Adding to that the terrifying chakra ball in front of the fox claw, Hanzo felt bitter inside.

Onoki never exchanged information with him. If he had known what the Iwa ninja encountered when they went to deal with the remnants of the Uzumaki clan, he wouldn't have been in such a passive position.

Ever since witnessing the strength of the rogue ninja Akatsuki, Hanzo has become increasingly conservative, fearing that Akatsuki will replace him and become the ninja force of the Land of Rain.

After becoming more conservative, Hanzo's intelligence system became sluggish.

Hanzo had to use Water Flicker Technique repeatedly to deflect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's attacks.

Minato looked at Hanzo's ghostly Body Flicker Technique and turned his head in confusion.

Night Light explained to Minato: "Water Instantaneous Body Technique, a single-handed, single-seal instantaneous body technique, can be activated by simply hanging down with the hand."

It allows one to teleport at will using rainwater or other water surfaces. Apart from the Flying Thunder God Technique and the teleportation techniques of the Raikage lineage, the Water Teleportation Technique is the strongest teleportation technique.

"Watch closely, see how Hanzo uses the Body Flicker Technique."
