Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

However, in this battle, both White Fang and Golden Lion represent the pinnacle of technical skill and the pinnacle of physical combat, respectively. In the ninja world, besides Golden Lion, only Raikage represents the pinnacle of physical combat. And it is very difficult to master technical skills to the peak. In recorded history, only the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, has been able to do so.

So far, there is only one person in the ninja world who has reached the pinnacle of technical skill: Konoha's White Fang. This shows how difficult it is. There are many geniuses in the ninja world, but it is impossible to reach the pinnacle of technical skill without extraordinary talent. Therefore, watching White Fang's movements is never boring.

"Those two bastards..."

Onoki, rubbing his bald head, was furious. The situation was awkward. Although the Uzumaki clan's barrier had been broken, the outer perimeter was already surrounded by the Allied Shinobi Forces, and the Golden Lion's sword aura blocked their way out. Meanwhile, the Allied Shinobi Forces were separated from the Uzumaki clan by the battlefield between the Golden Lion and Konoha's White Fang, and could not break through. They could only watch helplessly. This made Onoki, the leader, extremely anxious.

"...Lord Tsuchikage, actually... the barrier has already been broken. We can easily break in from another direction; there's no need to insist on going straight through the main gate..."

Mizuki, whose intelligence level was as high as 95, looked at his boss who was already very angry and said in a low voice. Although he didn't understand why his boss and so many other people couldn't figure out such a simple reason, he couldn't help but offer his advice when he saw his boss looking so angry.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Mizuki finished speaking, Onoki slapped himself hard across the face. The five red and purple handprints on his face startled the surrounding underlings, and just looking at them made his teeth ache.

"What are you waiting for? Charge in! ╬?д?╬?"

Onoki let out another roar as he flew into the sky. This time, instead of charging in like an idiot, he bypassed the battlefield between Shinto and Sakumo and led the charge from the other side.

"Damn bastards, everyone in Konoha, I'm counting on you for Kushina! Jiro and his Uzumaki clan, charge with me!!! (「▼皿▼)"

The hot-tempered old man in the village was equally fearless. After handing over a red-haired little girl who was crying her heart out to the ANBU who had followed from Konoha, he led his clansmen, who still had a little chakra left, to fight the ninjas rushing in from all sides with his frail, aged steps.

"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Barrier!!"

"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Barrier!!"

"Sealing Technique: Corpse Demon Sealing...!"

"Sealing Technique..."

"Sealing Technique..."

"Holy crap! What is this?! (?｀?д?′)!!

"Help...No!!!"

The members of the Uzumaki clan were also quite passionate. Those who still had some mana rushed forward with their patriarch and used their family's sealing techniques. Those who had just been replaced and were out of mana immediately summoned the Grim Reaper to forcibly take their opponents away and perish together. The Grim Reaper, who hadn't been summoned for many years, was very busy at this moment!

The sight of a group of phantoms of death gods constantly appearing above the Uzumaki clan was quite spectacular, instantly startling the Allied Shinobi Forces that rushed in. Before they could react, their souls were grabbed by the phantoms of death gods and instantly entered their mouths. It seemed that these death gods had also mastered the art of shadow clones and had an enormous appetite. Before the Uzumaki clansmen who summoned his phantom clones died, he reaped the souls of the Allied Shinobi Forces' cannon fodder. Onoki, watching from above, felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

They exclaimed that the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan was domineering. The soul is the most ethereal thing in the world. No matter how powerful a person is, they can't even touch the edge of the soul. But the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan can actually attack the soul. It's too damn cheating!

"Holy crap! Their Grim Reaper has mastered Shadow Clone Techniques! σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

On the other side, Shinto and Sakumo Hatake, who were fighting each other, also stopped. After staring wide-eyed at the spectacular scene inside, they looked at each other and saw the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

When will Death be mass-produced? (⊙_⊙)?

"...I'm not a member of the Uzumaki clan...I'm taking those children with me."

Sakumo Hatake looked at Shinto and said that he knew the Uzumaki clan was doomed. Facing an attack from most of the ninja world, even Konoha was in a precarious situation. No matter how powerful the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques were, they were still just a clan. How could they withstand the onslaught from so many ninja worlds? Even if everyone summoned the Grim Reaper and fought 10 against 1, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of people. And his style didn't allow him to carry everyone. Now that things had developed to this point, the only thing he could do was to leave some bloodline for the Uzumaki clan.

"I don't care. For your sake, White Teeth, I won't stop you from taking as many people as you want. I'm not the leader; that red-nosed guy up there is the leader..."

After shrugging, Shindou pointed at Onoki, who was flying in the air and looking at a group of death god phantoms with fear. He said that he was here to make a profit. As long as he got enough sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan and brought them back to the village, it didn't matter to him whether he killed anyone or not. Anyway, after today, the Uzumaki clan would officially decline. There would only be two or three chickens left. Could they possibly regain their former glory and seek revenge on him?

Even the Uchiha clan, who are the main characters, can't do that!

189. Holy crap! It's Ban's man!

"White Fang! Stop wasting your breath on this bastard! Take Kushina and get out of here! Onoki! Prepare to die! o(▼皿▼メ;)o"

At this moment, the fiery old man, wielding several enormous chakra chains behind him, arrived beside Hatake Sakumo with several ANBU members and a red-haired little girl. After speaking, he controlled the several enormous chakra chains behind him and charged towards Onoki in the sky.

"Bastard! Earth Release·Shantu Jutsu!! (▼へ▼メ)"

Seeing the hot-tempered old man wielding several enormous chakra chains, and the Golden Lion bastard ignoring him and charging towards him instead, Onoki was furious. This barrier was broken by that Golden Lion bastard; he was just using the title of leader. This old guy wasn't going to deal with the Golden Lion bastard but instead coming for him—was he taking him for a fool?! (▼へ▼メ)

Strictly speaking, Onoki's proficiency in Earth Release is higher than his proficiency in Dust Release, since it was passed down to him by his grandfather. However, Dust Release is powerful and extremely difficult to learn, so it has become his trademark. But Dust Release also consumes a lot of chakra, so he usually uses Dust Release to solve problems. However, because of the previous few map attacks, his chakra has been severely depleted. At this time, running out of chakra would mean certain death. So, if he could, he would finish off the hot-tempered old man with one map attack. But now that his chakra is low, he can only use Earth Release.

"boom!"

Two heavy stone slabs were shattered by the chakra chains behind the fiery old man, which flew rapidly towards Onoki. Onoki also moved continuously in the air, perhaps inspired by watching Sakumo Hatake's movements earlier. He began to show off his half-baked agility. The old man controlling the chakra chains below had probably gotten used to being an old man and hadn't fought in many years. His chakra chains were thicker than those of other clansmen, but their agility was much worse. The two of them were like this: one was showing off his agility in the sky trying to gain attention, while the other was trying to grab the short, dead man in the air with his half-baked chakra chains.

The battle on the other side was far more intense. The Uzumaki clan fought with reckless abandon, summoning the Grim Reaper to take a wave of enemies with them when they could no longer hold out. This suicidal fighting style initially terrified some of the cannon fodder, but once they adapted to the rhythm and found the weakness of the Grim Reaper summoning tactic, they calmed down. The Grim Reaper summoning tactic was indeed powerful, targeting the soul, but it had a flaw: it meant offering one's soul to the Grim Reaper. How long one could last depended entirely on the individual. So, when the Uzumaki clan summoned the Grim Reaper, the cannon fodder immediately fled, waiting for the summoner to give up before finishing them off. Even if they couldn't escape and were killed by the Grim Reaper, the combined forces outnumbered them!

So when the Raikage, Mizukage, Hanzo of the Salamander, and Sasori's father led their men into the arena, they barely had to lift a finger. The Uzumaki clan members were already mostly wiped out by the cannon fodder from those small villages and countries. With so many people and such chaos, it was unclear whether any Uzumaki clan members had escaped or not, and the major ninja villages didn't care either. Their main purpose in agreeing to team up with Onoki was to obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques; if anyone escaped, so be it.

The Uzumaki clan is in such a state that a few people running away is no big deal. Do you think they want to seek revenge against the great ninja village?

"Big brother, White Fang is gone?"

Handsome Sasori's father arrived next to Shinto, who was watching the two weaklings, Onoki and the fiery old man, fight, but didn't see the White Fang of Konoha. He asked curiously.

"Ah, it seems they've left. I was too engrossed in watching to notice. I should hurry and find the Uzumaki clan's storeroom to see if there are any valuable sealing techniques. I'll collect whatever I can..."

Shinto waved dismissively, then remembered the important matter and whispered to the underlings behind Sasori's father, "Now that Onoki is tied up and most of the Uzumaki clan members are dead, let's grab a piece of the pie while we can. Otherwise, we'll be at a huge loss when it comes time to divide the spoils after Onoki finishes the fight!"

"...No need, brother. I already had them search us when we came in...Most of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques require Uzumaki blood to learn and use. We can't even borrow them. It's more practical to take a Uzumaki member back and raise them..."

"Handsome Scorpion's father said helplessly. After searching with his underlings, he found that almost all of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques that were considered high-level required Uzumaki bloodline to learn. They were useless to them. The sealing techniques that didn't require bloodline were all common stuff that their village had. He discovered that the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques couldn't even compare to those used in Konoha. Back then, the advanced sealing techniques that his older brother brought back from Konoha weren't limited to Uzumaki clan members."

"Oh, is that so...? Then this whole trip was a waste of time, and I'm all sweaty and exhausted!"

Hearing what Sasori's father said, Shindou complained that although the Uzumaki clan was a famous family with a thousand-year history, it was still just a clan. The only thing that caught his eye was the sealing technique. He had already harvested the other resources when he invaded the Land of Whirlpools, but those were just small fry. The sealing technique was the big deal. But now even his genius brother said that the sealing techniques were useless. So all he did was bombard the village gates for fun, without getting any real benefits.

"That's roughly true, but I just ran into a guy who looked really... strange, and he ran off with a member of the Uzumaki clan. He didn't seem to be one of us."

"Handsome Scorpion's father suddenly frowned and said."

"A strange guy? How so?"

Zhen Dou also looked over. When describing someone's appearance, it's either ugly or beautiful. And a true academic like Handsome Scorpion's father knows even more adjectives. But Handsome Scorpion's father actually used the word "strange" to describe it, and even thought about it for a long time. That proves that this guy is really strange.

It's not unusual for ninjas in the ninja world to dress in all sorts of ways. He's even seen Sasori's father, the ugly but handsome guy summoned by Kakuzu, and he doesn't know how to describe that guy.

"It's strange. He's half black and half white, and the way he talks seems like he's talking to himself, but his voice is different. Brother, could it be that someone else also has designs on the Uzumaki clan...?"

"Handsome Scorpion's father recalled for a while before speaking," he said.

Holy crap! It's one of Ban's men! (⊙_⊙)

190. Nagato's mother was actually an older single woman.

"How old was the person that strange man took away?"

Upon hearing Sasori's father mention a half-black, half-white person, he immediately thought of Madara's younger brother and the super ace undercover agent in the Naruto world, the Six Paths old man's nominal third brother.

If I'm not mistaken, the person these two took away should be Nagato's mother, the future lead vocalist of the Akatsuki. But come to think of it, Nagato was born only in the last year or two, right? He originally thought that Nagato's mother should have left the Land of Whirlpools a long time ago, met her love in the Land of Rain, and lived there. He didn't expect that Madara would become a human trafficker, and his business is quite extensive, even arranging people's marriages.

If he remembers correctly, the rest of the story should go like this....

First, Madara took the girl from the Uzumaki clan. However, given Madara's discerning eye, he certainly wouldn't be interested in girls below the level of "flower of the ninja world." Moreover, Madara was probably already too weak to continue his plan, but he still wanted it to go smoothly, so he just found a random guy for her. This lucky guy was probably from the Land of Rain. As for why the two of them sparked a romance, Madara said that with his incredibly sharp eyes, he could make even a human or a snake spark a romance!

After sparks flew between the two, Madara kept them in captivity to await Nagato's birth. Then came the eye transplant surgery, followed by a series of events that led to young Nagato's transformation into a Super Saiyan, activating the ultimate power boost...

However, on another note, it seems that the two underlings of Uncle Ban are a bit unreliable. There are still a few children in the Uzumaki clan. It would be easier to take these children, who are as innocent as a blank sheet of paper but full of national hatred and family feuds, and train them. There is no need to brainwash them. Wouldn't their natural blackening quality be better?

They insisted on taking a young woman and letting Uncle Ban raise her...

"It's hard to see clearly, but judging from the figure... he should be in his early thirties."

"Handsome Scorpion's father thought for a moment and then said."

"Hey! Still a single woman in her late twenties...ヾ(^?^)?"

Although I don't know how handsome Sasori's dad determined his age based on his physique, considering that Nagato's mom was actually an older single woman, it seems like Madara's arranged marriage actually did something good... ヾ(^д^*)/

......

"I told you two to bring back the child of the Uzumaki clan, and you two bastards actually brought back a woman! (╬◣д◢)"

Meanwhile, in a basement somewhere in the ninja world, Madara, seeing a red-haired girl lying unconscious in front of him, was furious and berated his two underlings. If he still had the energy, he really wanted to send those two bastards back to the furnace for a makeshift rebirth!

Damn it, he suspected that these two bastards were taking the opportunity to mock his inability to do anything... He sent two underlings to the Whirlpool Clan to abduct the kids, but instead of abducting the kids, these two bastards abducted a woman instead, and what's more, she was a woman who was completely unrelated to being beautiful!

"Lord Madara, you can't blame us for this. You didn't see how chaotic the scene was. Those brats from the Uzumaki clan were all in the center. If we went there, we might be discovered. This woman may look a bit older, but her hair is the reddest in the Uzumaki clan. Black Zetsu also said that her bloodline is very pure, which is why I brought her back."

After being scolded by the boss, the white-clad underling explained, feeling wronged.

"Huh? Black Zetsu, is her bloodline very pure?"

Upon hearing that the white-clad junior meant his own junior brother, Uncle Ban asked curiously.

"Yes, Lord Madara, this woman's bloodline is definitely among the purest in the Uzumaki clan. Among those children, only one child taken away by Konoha's White Fang can compare to her. However, that child has already been taken to Konoha by White Fang and will probably become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. This woman's future children have a high chance of being able to withstand the Rinnegan..."

The black-clad young man explained in a low voice.

He had also considered bringing back a child from the Uzumaki clan with excellent bloodlines. Children who have experienced national and personal tragedies would be mentally abnormal without any manipulation. But, not only did the Uzumaki clan not have any boys like that, but there were only one or two girls. Moreover, they had no chance to enter the center of the battle and get in touch with those girls with excellent bloodlines. He never expected that the Uzumaki clan would be so tough!

He was terrified by the constant summoning of Shinigami, those soul-devouring Shinigami. He couldn't kill them, that was true, but as a product of his mother's will, he had a soul. If he got too close, and his soul, which had survived for thousands of years, attracted the Shinigami's covetousness, he'd be doomed. And only today did he learn that Shinigami could be mass-produced. The Uzumaki clan's ability to summon Shinigami en masse truly frightened him. He was also anxious to quickly review his diary to investigate the history of the Miyabi clan, to see if their ancestor was related to the Kaguya clan and whether he was the illegitimate son of his nominal elder brother, Kirito Hagoromo. This was crucial, more important than Madara's plan, and could very well affect the outcome of his operation to save his mother…

"Ha! In that case, you'd better find her a good family quickly..."

Grandpa Ban nodded, then looked at the woman before him and agreed that her hair was indeed redder than that of the average Whirlpool Clan member...

.....

The Uzumaki clan, with a lineage spanning over a thousand years, was wiped out by Onoki's area-of-effect attack before the fiery old man could summon the Grim Reaper. After Onoki had almost replenished his chakra, the clan met its end. As for the Uzumaki clan members who escaped, they were almost all hunted down and killed by the smaller ninja villages and countries. The four great ninja villages didn't bother with these matters; they were too powerful and didn't care about the Uzumaki clan. But the smaller ninja villages and countries were!

They had witnessed the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan in previous battles. If one day a member of the Uzumaki clan hadn't grown up, sweeping through their village or country would be a piece of cake. Moreover, in this attack on the Land of Whirlpools, their small ninja village and country suffered the most heavy losses. Many people were instantly killed by the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques. The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques were simply too domineering. Those hard control skills were impossible to dodge, and they could even summon a large number of Shinigami. Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the major ninja villages, along with Hanzo of the Salamander, were gathered around a pile of sealing scrolls, officially entering the final and most important stage of the event, formally known as: dividing the spoils...

191. Hanzo the Salamander: Shiki is such a good guy!

"Hey! I'm the fairest person here. I handled the biggest part when breaking the barrier, and I even had a fight with White Fang, so I'll distribute them first. Does anyone have any objections? Everyone knows that the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques are the most precious, but we Sunagakure don't have much research in sealing techniques. We're still in the early stages, so we don't need those overly profound sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan. However, we want all of these sealing scrolls. What are your opinions?"

Shinto, without even glancing at the pile of sealing techniques harvested from the Uzumaki clan, pointed to another pile of sealing scrolls and said, "Even Sasori's father said that these powerful sealing techniques require Uzumaki blood to learn. They're useless if we take them back. It's more practical to get the Uzumaki clan's specialty sealing scrolls. These are still too rare in the ninja world. They're not mass-produced yet, and the Uzumaki clan makes them entirely by hand. While the quality of handmade scrolls is high, the cost is too high. Also, because of their in-law relationship with Konoha, Konoha always gets priority in purchasing them. Although the Land of Craftsmen can also make them, their sealing techniques are too weak, so the quality and capacity of their scrolls are worlds apart from those made by the Uzumaki clan. However, the high-end Uzumaki scrolls are sold to Konoha first. The sealing scrolls for other ninja villages are almost all made by the Land of Craftsmen. Even the two sealing scrolls he has are from the Land of Craftsmen." The Uzumaki clan targets the high-end market; their products are few in number but each one is exquisite. The Craftsman's Kingdom, on the other hand, is a wholesaler; while quality cannot be guaranteed, their advantage lies in the sheer volume...

"...I have no objection!"

As soon as Shinto finished speaking, the Raikage nodded in agreement. He would object if Shiki chose sealing techniques as his first item. In a team, loot should be divided equally regardless of contribution. However, if Shiki didn't want sealing techniques but wanted sealing scrolls, that was a different story. He also coveted the sealing scrolls made by the Uzumaki clan. He himself had three that were made in the Land of Craftsmen and had been used for over ten years. But compared to the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, these sealing scrolls were nothing. He could always negotiate with Shiki and buy a few from him at a high price. As the leader of one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, it would be a loss of face not to have some Uzumaki clan products on him. Besides, the Uzumaki clan had already fallen, and these Uzumaki clan sealing scrolls might become rare items in the future. Carrying a few would definitely enhance his prestige.

"I'm fine with it too!"

Hanzo of the Salamander didn't have many thoughts. As long as there was no major conflict of interest, he would definitely stick by his good brother, given that Shiki had angrily confronted Onoki on his behalf. Moreover, in his opinion, this good brother was a really good person, clearly leaving the opportunity to obtain the sealing technique to their Amegakure. Was the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique really that precious?

Just look at the shining eyes of Onoki and the Mizukage, and you'll know what's going on. If things went according to plan, the four great ninja villages would be divided first, then it would be the turn of Amegakure, who were known as the sixth great ninja village. But damn it, after the four great ninja villages were divided, even the remaining sealing techniques were considered junk. But now, this good buddy didn't want sealing techniques; instead, he wanted sealing scrolls, which, while valuable, weren't as valuable as sealing techniques. That meant reserving the spots for Amegakure! Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander and his Amegakure underlings were incredibly moved. From now on, the Golden Lion of Sunagakure was their father… ugh! One of their own! Anyone who crossed the Golden Lion was crossing Amegakure!

"(⊙_⊙)???"
