Chapter 122: The Cornered Whirlpool Clan

"The four of us were caught off guard. Uncle Xiang died on the spot. Uncle Jun blocked the fatal blow for me and died soon after. Only Uncle Hao and I escaped the first wave of attacks. In the end, it was Uncle Hao who burned his life force and used the Diamond Seal to open a gap and took me all the way back to the Whirlpool Kingdom. After setting foot on the land of the Whirlpool Kingdom, Uncle Hao also returned to the Pure Land!" Uzumaki Fire was already in tears when he said this.

"Damn it! This Danzo Shimura deserves to die!" The elders of the Uzumaki clan were thinking of eating Danzo alive.

"Cough cough cough!!!" At this time, Uzumaki Ashina cleared his throat and said, "In fact, we should be thankful that Danzo Shimura failed in the end and let Fire escape successfully! He broke the illusions we had about Konoha, and allowed our clan to have enough time to find a new path!" He was now somewhat thankful that the Hidden Mist Village gave the Uzumaki clan a choice other than destruction.

"A new way?" The elders were discussing with each other. They didn't know, having come to this point, what other good way out their clan could have, and what other good ideas their clan leader could come up with.

At this time, Kiyoshi also received the message from Danzo Shimura. After reading it, Kiyoshi couldn't help but laugh. Danzo Shimura even boasted about his actions in the letter. Little did he know that his actions gave Kiyoshi and the Hidden Mist Village a perfect assist!

If none of the people sent by the Uzumaki clan to Konoha came back, then the Uzumaki clan would definitely still hold a glimmer of hope for Konoha. Perhaps until the Hidden Cloud Village breaks through the Uzushio Village, Seiji will not get the result he wants. In the end, the Hidden Mist Village can only helplessly act together with the Hidden Cloud Village, jointly destroy the Uzumaki clan and then divide the sealing technique.

However, Danzo failed, allowing Uzumaki Fire to successfully escape back to the Land of Whirlpools to report the news, which made the bet between Seiji and Uzumaki Ashina come to fruition.

However, this was also within Qingsi's expectations. He never believed in Shimura Danzo's ability to do things.

Judging from the final result, although Danzo made a mistake in this matter, he accidentally brought huge wealth to Seiji. Maybe this is fate!

And Lord Danzo is indeed worthy of being a good friend of the Hidden Mist Village. Although things were not done well, he actually helped boost the actions of the Hidden Mist Village. The world is so wonderful.

Qingsi has already decided that in the future he must cooperate more with this evil Danzo who never has anything to do with anyone. What a perfect partner he is!

"In fact, it's nothing more than cutting off an arm to survive, but at least we can preserve the seeds of our Uzumaki clan!" Uzumaki Ashina said bitterly, "I used Kagura's mind's eye to sense that there are a large number of Kirigakure ninjas in the southern part of the Whirlpool Country. Their Third Mizukage has also come. I guess they have reached some kind of agreement with Kumogakure and want to divide up our Uzumaki clan. However, the Kirigakure Village took the initiative to contact me a few days ago. Although they did not clearly state their intentions, I think they plan to take some of our clansmen back to Kirigakure. In the past week, they have not followed Kumogakure to attack the village. This is their expression of sincerity. Otherwise, our Uzumaki clan would probably no longer exist under the simultaneous attack of Kumogakure and Kirigakure!"

"What???"

"How can it be???"

"Kirigakure is clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune!!!"

"No! We absolutely do not agree!!!"

"Even if my Uzumaki clan is exterminated, I will never go to Kirigakure!!!"

"That's right! The Hidden Mist Village definitely has bad intentions. They definitely want to use us for human experiments or force us to become Jinchūriki!!!"

After hearing what clan leader Uzumaki Ashina said, the scene became chaotic again. All the elders spoke out in opposition, even the relatively calm elder Uzumaki expressed his opposition.

“Shut up!!!” Uzumaki Ashina suddenly shouted, “Instead of arguing here, why don’t you think about whether there is any other way out for our Uzumaki clan! Kirigakure is the only one who has a chance to save us now. Do you really want to end the thousand-year heritage of the Uzumaki clan and destroy the entire clan before you are satisfied???”

Uzumaki Ashina was extremely angry at this time. This bunch of pedantic elders were incompetent at anything and were the first to hinder others. However, what some elders said were not unreasonable. All their behaviors were based on their own interests. Kirigakure was not a charity. How could they accept the Uzumaki clan for no reason? Uzumaki Ashina's heart was also shrouded in a shadow at this time. It seemed that the next time the Kirigakure ninja came again, he would have to have a frank talk with them.

"I know that all of you have devoted your entire lives to our Uzumaki clan, and you are all determined to resist to the end and to die for the cause. But! Please think carefully, if we don't leave some seeds now, the name of the Uzumaki clan will disappear in the ninja world in the future!" Uzumaki Ashina suppressed his anger and spoke to the elders word by word.

"Anyway! This matter is settled. If you disagree, I will execute it alone with the power of the clan leader!" Uzumaki Ashina was determined and showed his skill as the clan leader. He had seen a glimmer of hope and hoped to leave seeds for the Uzumaki clan to revive again. As for these old antiques who were behind the times, they would be buried with the Uzumaki clan!

-----------------

After searching for a long time, I still couldn't find a clear statement as to whether Uzumaki Kushina went to Konoha before or after the destruction of the Uzumaki Country.

Judging from the timeline, both statements have their own reasons. Let's first assume that he was sent to Konoha at the request of Uzumaki Mito before the destruction of the Whirlpool Country.

According to the comics, Uzumaki Kushina became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki during the Second and Third World Wars, which was when she was between 12 and 16 years old. The corresponding timeline is between the 36th year of Kirigakure and the 40th year of Kirigakure. After all, she was not yet a Jinchuriki when she was captured by Kumogakure.

There is also the issue of Nagato. Kishimoto did not clearly explain why Nagato's family fled to the Rain Country, but judging from the fact that his father became a doctor in the Hidden Rain Village, they must have been in the Rain Country for quite some time.

Nagato's mother, Fuso, was from the Uzumaki clan whose surname was hidden. If she went to the Hidden Rain Village after the destruction of the Uzumaki Country, many timelines would not match.

As mentioned before, Nagato's own timeline is already clear, so I can only follow my own settings first. Nagato's mother did not flee to the Rain Country because of the destruction of the Whirlpool Country, but came to the Rain Country for some reason before that.
