Chapter 43 The Chaos of the Whirlpool (Seeking monthly votes!!)

The Land of Whirlpools is a special country.

It is a peninsula surrounded by islands on three sides, with the Land of Lightning to the north and the Land of Water to the east.

Unlike other countries where there is "one country, one village", the Land of Whirlpools can be described as "one clan, one country".

There is only one clan in the entire Land of Whirlpools, and that is the "Uzumaki Clan". Even the daimyo is from the Uzumaki Clan.

The members of the Uzumaki clan are known for being "straightforward." They are honest, forthright, frank, simple-minded, and carefree—these words are perfectly suited to describe them.

Perhaps for this reason, compared to the Uchiha clan, who were shy and not good at expressing themselves, they had a better relationship with the Senju clan led by Hashirama Senju.

Later, through Hashirama Senju's efforts, Uzushio Village became an ally of Konoha.

The village crest of Konoha incorporates elements of the Uzumaki clan, symbolizing the promise of lasting friendship between the two countries.

In fact, the Land of Whirlpools has developed quite well over the years.

Compared to the restless kingdoms of Wind, Earth, and Thunder, the Kingdom of Water, which is separated from them by the sea, has always been very well-behaved, so they have enjoyed peace and tranquility for forty or fifty years.

In addition, their friendly relations with the Land of Fire have led to good economic and trade development.

In other words...

They have gradually become immersed in this false peace and "golden age," completely unaware that several eyes in the shadows are already watching them closely.

Because today is the Uzumaki clan's grand annual festival.

—"Mask Festival".

At this time, the Land of Whirlpools remained warm and peaceful, with people thronging the streets in joyful celebration.

Walking on the bustling streets, all you hear are vendors hawking their wares and noisy laughter.

People were dressed in colorful costumes and wore strange masks.

Whether ninjas or civilians, everyone was immersed in joy.

"Don't miss out! Our store has just received our newest stock of masks!"

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked down the street. After hearing the shouts from the other side, the girl shook the arm of the man beside her.

"Daddy, Daddy! I want that mask!"

"Okay, okay, buy it, buy it, buy it! Yizi can buy whatever she wants!"

"Yay! Long live Daddy!"

Faced with his daughter's pleading request, the man nodded helplessly, but with a loving smile on his face.

After taking the money out of his pocket and handing it to his daughter, watching her skip and hop away, the man turned to survey the bustling city before him, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

In just a few decades, the Land of Whirlpools has developed and preserved its unique culture, which makes him, the clan leader, very proud.

"Sigh, it's all thanks to me...cough cough!"

Just as the man was boasting to himself, he suddenly saw a conspicuous building, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"When did a casino appear here?!"

Just as he was still in shock, he saw a familiar figure walk out of the casino entrance.

"Ah~ I've finally lost all my money. Looks like good luck is on its way."

The boy stretched his back with a refreshed expression, a bright smile spreading across his face, as if he had encountered some great joy.

"Hey! How does losing money relate to good luck? Wait, why does that sound so familiar? I remember the last time I heard it was with Lord Hashirama..."

The man in the distance also heard the boy's words and couldn't help but mutter a curse in his heart, but he quickly raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, "Chika! You bastard, you actually dared to go to the casino!"

Upon hearing his familiar voice, the boy named China froze, scratching his head as he turned to face the man with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Oh dear, isn't this Lord Yangjie? What a coincidence!"

Having said that, he put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "I already had my coming-of-age ceremony yesterday, of course I can come to the casino!"

"Damn it! Have you forgotten the three ninja taboos? And isn't it your turn to be on duty today?!" The Uzumaki clan chief blushed with anger.

"It's such a nice day today, I'll just take a break for a bit..." Chika casually argued, but seeing his face still flushed with anger, she quickly begged for forgiveness, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away!"

Having said that, before Yangjie could say anything, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"you……"

"Daddy, don't you think my mask is cute?"

Just as Yuzuri was getting annoyed, her sleeve was suddenly tugged.

Looking down, he saw his daughter, Yizi, gesturing to the bird mask on the face of the man. His anger immediately dissipated, and he squatted down, laughing, "Hahaha, beautiful, beautiful."

"I also bought a mask for Dad!"

After saying that, Yuko Uzumaki took out a monkey mask from behind her back, put it on his face, and couldn't help but let out a melodious laugh like the bells of a gong: "Daddy, you look like a monkey!"

Yang Jie's face immediately darkened, and he felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

But at that moment, he suddenly sensed a faint feeling of being watched.

I subconsciously frowned and turned my head to look, only to see the myriad expressions of humanity.

So vibrant and adorable, so full of fun, that he cast aside any doubts he might have had.

"Dad! Hurry up!"

"Hey, here it comes! Ouch, slow down!"

Yang Jie was completely unaware of the deep alley in the distance.

A pair of deep blue eyes gazed at him, their depths as profound as a still pool.

"...The tide is about to turn and everything is about to collapse."

The barely perceptible whispers echoed until they disappeared into the dark shadows.

------

Meanwhile, at the border of the Land of Whirlpools.

The boy named Uzumaki Chinatsu has arrived here.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now it's my turn!"

"Haha, thank you for your hard work. I'll go take a look around too."

Watching her companions disappear into the distance, China sat down in a chair, feeling somewhat bored.

"Honestly, what's the point of guarding this place? Do you think anyone would dare attack our Land of Whirlpools?" he muttered to himself. "Besides, how could any major power possibly sneak past Konoha and attack us directly?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and his body seemed to be enveloped in a moist sensation.

Is it foggy?

The moment this thought formed in China's mind, the damp mist grew heavier and heavier, instantly spreading around him.

The next moment, a muffled sound was heard.

puff! !

The boy lay on the ground with a bloody hole in his forehead, his face still showing fear, and two figures reflected in his wide eyes.

"Honestly, they actually made us deal with these disgusting Uzumaki clansmen. It seems the Third Hokage really has no one else he can use."

A man with long, spiky yellow hair, wearing a Kirigakure ANBU mask, with slender limbs like thin bamboo poles, holding a long, needle-like ninja tool in his hand.

Blood dripped from the tip of the ninja tool, and an arrogant voice echoed through the misty forest.

Kushimaru Kurihara, wielder of the long sword "Sewing Needle" from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

"Hehe, after all, we're getting old, so it's inevitable that we're not as strong as we used to be. We should be considerate of the elderly. Anyway, we're just an advance team."

The other person had long black hair, a distinctive vertical whip and beard, and his left eye was covered with a black cloth. He had sharp teeth, giving him a cruel and vicious appearance.

Jinpachi Munashi, wielder of the Exploding Blade, Flying Blade, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

call!

A thick fog began to spread behind them, and dozens of pairs of cold eyes appeared and disappeared, all staring intently at the distant capital.

Like a school of thirsty tigerfish swimming in the calm water, creating ripples on the surface, waiting for the opportunity to tear off a piece of flesh from the whale.

Let the blood stain the pools of the Land of Whirlpools, and stir up a storm of chaos in this country.
