Chapter 160 General trend

"I'm going back to bed first."

Kamui said hello to Uzumaki Goju, then activated the Flying Thunder God Formation and returned to Uzushio Village to sleep. This was to save time on the road, and to stay away from Uzumaki Goju.

"Nephew-in-law, wait for me, I will go back with you."

As Uzumaki Goki finished his words, Kamui disappeared before his eyes.

Uzumaki Goki looked at the place where Kamui disappeared and muttered to himself.

"So, I was left behind? You are so petty. I just called you nephew-in-law. Do you think you should leave me alone? Just wait, I will go to my eldest brother to complain."

Uzumaki Gouki jogged all the way back to Uzushio Village, went straight to the house of his eldest brother Uzukage, and knocked on the door.

"Brother, please open the door, I am Hao Shu."

"Come on, come on."

I saw Uzumaki wearing a piece of clothing, walking out of the house, opening the door, and welcoming Uzumaki Goki in.

"Why are you here so late at night instead of going to bed? And what's wrong with your face?"

Uzumaki looked at Uzumaki Goki who came to visit him late at night and asked all the questions in his mind in one breath.

Uzumaki Goki did not hide anything and told his eldest brother Uzumaki everything that happened tonight, from the moment he followed Kamui to the moment he jogged back to Uzushio Village.

Uzumaki didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a fight between kids where the losing side asked their parents for help. But the more he listened, the more he realized that things were getting out of control, and even beyond his ability.

"Gao Shu, let me ask you, did the Mizukage and the Raikage really retreat?"

Uzumaki looked at Uzumaki Goki with a serious look on his face and asked him.

Seeing that his eldest brother Uzumaki had a serious face, Uzumaki Gouki didn't dare to treat him in a joking manner anymore and spoke to him solemnly.

"They really retreated. I saw them leave with my own eyes. I just don't know if they will come back in the future."

Uzumaki Goki's unintentional words made Uzumaki fall into deep thought.

Yes, although the plan of the Mizukage and the Raikage was stopped by Kamui this time and they failed to attack the Uzushio Village, but if they attack the Uzushio Village again in the future, it is not certain that Kamui will still be in the Uzushio Village at that time. By then, the Uzushio Village and the entire Uzumaki clan will probably become history in the ninja world.

"It seems that Uzushio Village needs some changes."

Uzukage thought about the fate of Uzushio Village and decided to make drastic changes to the village.

"Brother, what are you talking about? What needs to be changed?"

Uzumaki Goki was unable to discern the hidden meaning in his elder brother Uzumaki's few words, so he asked casually.

"Nothing, it's so late, go back to bed."

What Uzumaki was thinking in his mind at the moment was just a rough outline of a plan, and there were still many aspects that needed to be improved, so he didn't intend to tell Uzumaki Goki.

"Okay then, see you tomorrow, big brother."

After saying this, Uzumaki Goki walked away from his eldest brother Uzumaki's house. After Uzumaki Goki walked a long way, he remembered the purpose of coming to his eldest brother Uzumaki's house.

Didn't I come here to tell Shenwei about it? It seemed to be completed, but it also seemed to be unfinished. Everything had been said, but it seemed to be selectively ignored. Should I go back and tell my big brother Uzumaki again?

Just as Uzumaki Goki was standing there, struggling, at the same time, the Mizukage and the Raikage, along with the ninjas from the two villages, had already left the territory of the Land of Whirlpools and were sitting on the ship returning to their respective ninja villages.

"Fortunately, we didn't have a direct conflict with Kamui. Although we lost some ninjas, this loss is still acceptable."

The Mizukage secretly thanked his lucky stars that he did not act rashly and join forces with the Raikage to fight against Kamui.

"Mizukage, we are retreating like this. I feel a little unwilling."

The jonin next to the Mizukage said.

“What can we do if we are unwilling? If we don’t retreat, are we going to die? You have seen what happened to the Raikage. If Kamui is willing, the Raikage is already in the Pure Land. Now hurry back to the Hidden Mist Village and don’t get involved in anything in the future, so as to avoid getting into trouble.”

The Mizukage scolded the group of jonin around him, scaring them so much that they dared not utter a word, for fear that they would be caught as examples by the Mizukage and given a one-on-one lesson.

Unlike the Mizukage who was relieved, the Raikage on the other side was very angry at the moment.

"Damn it, if it weren't for Kamui, Uzushio Village would have been destroyed."

The Raikage slammed the table with his only remaining left hand, causing the bandaged wound on his right shoulder to start bleeding again.

"Calm down, Raikage-sama. Be careful not to open your wound."

Said the medical ninja who was treating the Raikage's wound.

"Lord Raikage, although our operation failed this time, we still have a chance in the future. That Kamui can't stay in Uzushio Village forever. As long as he leaves Uzushio Village, we will immediately attack Uzushio Village. Then the sealing technique of Uzushio Village will be in the hands of our Kumogakure Village."

The Jonin next to the Raikage offered advice.

The Raikage, who was furious just now, gradually calmed down after hearing this, and then said.

"You have a point. Send someone to monitor the every move of the Uzushio Village immediately. If you find Kamui leaving the Uzushio Village, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

The senior ninja next to the Raikage received the order and immediately went to arrange for someone to monitor the Uzushio Village. The medical ninja also followed him, and in the end the Raikage was the only one left.

"Our plan has failed, and I wonder what the situation is like over there at the Tsuchikage?"

The Raikage was talking to himself, his thoughts drifting to the battlefield outside the border of the Fire Country, between the Tsuchikage and the Kazekage.

Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

Hokage Building Conference Room.

"Hokage, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village have sent out a large number of ninjas to attack the Uzushio Village. Calculating the time, the war should have started by now."

As the head of the Anbu, Tobirama chose to report to the Hokage Madara as soon as he received the information.

"It's interesting. First, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village blocked the door of the Hidden Leaf Village. Then the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village attacked the Uzushio Village. The four ninja villages are collectively going crazy."

Naruto Madara laughed in anger, and was already prepared for war in his heart.

"Things are not that simple. Uzushio Village is a ninja village founded by the Uzumaki clan. The Uzumaki clan is not only a distant relative of the Senju clan, but also a relative of the Uchiha clan. The other party chose to attack Uzushio Village, and in the end they came for Konoha Village."

With his extraordinary intelligence, Tobirama analyzed it bit by bit.

"I understand. The other party attacked Uzushio Village in the hope that Konoha Village would send people to support it. This would inevitably weaken the power of Konoha Village. Then the two ninja villages outside the border of the Land of Fire would take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

After being reminded by Tobirama, the Hokage Madara suddenly realized.

"It's not just that. If our Konoha Village doesn't support the Uzushio Village, that would be the most fatal. Just imagine, if the Konoha Village can abandon the Uzushio Village, which is so close to it, who would be willing to form an alliance with the Konoha Village in the future?"

Dazhuzi added.

"Hashirama, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become smarter."

After listening to the words of the Great Pillar, Hokage Madara found it hard to believe that these words came from his mouth, so he joked.

Tobirama and Itama, who were standing by, had surprise in their eyes, thinking that their elder brother had finally gotten the idea.

"No, no, these words are what I accidentally heard Shenwei say before. I just borrowed them."

Dazhuzi told the truth, which dashed the hopes of Tobirama and Itama.

When Naruto Madara heard the name Kamui, he became silent for a while, and then suddenly asked.

"Shenwei, where is he now?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in Uzushio Village now."

Tobirama replied quickly.

When Naruto Madara heard this answer, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and then he said.

"The Uzushio Village has the Kamui, so we don't need to send anyone to support them. After this is over, send some valuable supplies to the Uzushio Village and explain it to them. I believe they will understand the difficulties of the Leaf Village."

Hokage Madara's proposal was recognized by everyone. This recognition was based on trust in Kamui and also on strength.

Seeing that no one had any objection to the way Uzushio Village was handled, the Hokage Madara continued.

"The matter of Uzushio Village has been resolved. Let's talk about the two ninja villages outside the border of the Land of Fire. I mean, we should just fight them. Since they have already blocked our doorstep, if we don't fight, people will think that Konoha Village is afraid."

"I strongly disagree with going to war. I believe that as long as we can sit down and talk calmly, all problems can be solved."

Dazhuzi strongly opposed going to war and advocated resolving the issue through negotiation.

"Hashirama, if we can talk, shouldn't we sit down and negotiate? Do you think the other party wants to negotiate at all? Not at all."

Naruto Madara thought that what the Great Pillar was doing was just his wishful thinking and was totally unacceptable.

Hokage Madara and the Great Pillar had a fierce argument about whether to go to war or negotiate, but in the end no one could convince the other and the matter was stuck there.

Tobirama and Itama looked at the Hokage Madara and the great pillar who were arguing with each other, and they missed the days when Kamui was around, because Kamui could always make the two people who disagreed reach an agreement.

Just when the Hokage Madara and the Great Pillar were confronting each other, the Hokage Madara suddenly retreated and said.

"Hashirama, I don't want to argue with you. I will take a step back on this matter. I agree that you can negotiate."

When Naruto's shadow Madara said this, not only the great pillar was very surprised, but even Tobirama and Itama were also very surprised. The three of them widened their eyes at the same time and looked at Naruto's shadow Madara.

Madara the Hokage said calmly, ignoring everyone's surprised looks.

"Listen to me. First of all, although I agree to negotiate, Konoha Village will not pay a penny as the price for them to withdraw. Why should I give them benefits just because they stay at our doorstep? If they keep doing this in the future, will Konoha Village still be able to develop?"
