Chapter 19: Can You Sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? (Two-in-One)
"One more, there's one more ship."
Suddenly, a Hidden Mist ninja shouted loudly, "It's Lord Nezumi, Lord Nezumi's ship is not destroyed."
Nezumi? Could it be...
Turning his head, Ryuto indeed saw that one of the ships was not destroyed. Its surface was covered with a layer of pure white ice, standing out prominently amidst the scorching flames and debris. Although the ice was currently resisting the fire, it was visibly and severely melting.
The Hidden Mist commander frowned as he looked at the long-haired Nezumi on the ship. "Damn it, he actually stole the spotlight. You should know that the Second Mizukage intended..."
...
Uzumaki Ryuto also saw him - the long black hair, tall figure, handsome looks, and ability to create an ice shield. There was no need to look further, this was definitely someone from the Yuki clan, and with those squinting eyes, this image seemed very familiar! Could it be the Third Mizukage?
As for why the flames couldn't ignite anything, we need to talk about the three requirements for combustion.
But what was this situation? To attack such a weak country, both the Second and Third Mizukage came together.
"You're not afraid of molotov cocktails, but are you afraid of exploding tags?" Ryuto narrowed his eyes, staring at Yuki Nezumi and muttering. Although the ice shield could prevent the gasoline from reaching its ignition point, amidst the raging flames, he didn't believe this Yuki clansman had enough chakra to maintain it.
The Uzumaki clan's chakra was unmatched in the world - well, except for the Senju clan, of course.
"Everyone, use exploding tags."
...
Yuki Nezumi frowned as he watched the flames grow stronger. He had also noticed something unusual about these flames - the smell was too intense. But if this continued, he wouldn't have enough chakra to maintain the shield! Thinking of this, he immediately turned to the person beside him and said, "Set sail, leave!"
The Hidden Mist ninja beside Nezumi heard his words and responded loudly, "Yes, Lord Nezumi."
But...
"Damn it!!" Nezumi looked up at the objects falling from the sky. "Those are exploding tags!!"
"Hurry up and set sail, leave."
This ship could not be lost! Otherwise, how would they send messages back to the Hidden Mist Village? And in this invasion, the casualties were severe, it was estimated that even Hōzuki would...
Heh, even if they were victorious, it wouldn't be easy. Look at what the Hōzuki clan dared to do, they even planned for the Third Mizukage to be from their clan. But now... no need to think about it!!
You Hōzuki clan better pay back the money first before thinking about anything else. What, you say it's not the Hōzuki clan's business? This is war, wars cause casualties, so you don't have to compensate?
Don't joke around, this invasion was started by the Second Mizukage from your Hōzuki clan! If not your clan, then who else? And recently, your Hōzuki clan has become too arrogant, many in the village can't stand it.
They even put the talented Yuki Nezumi in the rear guard?
This is to prevent me from gaining battle achievements. The situation has become serious now. Your Hōzuki clan will have to compensate, whether you like it or not! Even the rear guard commander is a close aide of Hōzuki, having nothing to do with my Yuki clan.
Yuki Nezumi's expression remained calm as he coolly watched the exploding tags raining down, but inwardly he was cursing. If he could protect this ship, then no matter what, these battle achievements would be his! If Hōzuki failed again, heh!!
Village leader, you'd better find a way to stabilize your own high-ranking position! Still thinking of having the next Mizukage come from Hōzuki's family?
Dream on!
Thinking of this, Yuki Nezumi put forth even more effort. This way, he could display his exceptional abilities. Wipe out this group of trash, leaving only his success - these battle achievements would be brilliant!
So...
"As expected of Lord Nezumi, such immense chakra..." A Hidden Mist ninja said in admiration as he looked at the ice shield completely enveloping the ship's surface. "As befitting of the two great Bloodline Limit clans of the Hidden Mist Village, Lord Nezumi is truly powerful."
"The ice on the ship's surface hasn't melted at all, it's incredible control ability."
"They're going to make it out, Lord Nezumi and his group are going to succeed."
"..."
The Hidden Mist commander watched as the surrounding ninja cheered for Yuki Nezumi, his expression like he had eaten something unpleasant. Originally, he had promised the Mizukage not to let Nezumi gain battle achievements and keep him obediently at the rear. But now this was a problem - in this situation, he actually stole the spotlight. You should know that Nezumi was also a strong contender for the Mizukage position!
Moreover, what kind of flames were these? The ice shield could extinguish them, meaning they weren't the Burning Ash technique, but where did the Uzumaki clan obtain such flames?
And this strange, foul smell, what was it?
Now that this kid had made a name for himself and gained a large number of fans, if he went back and promoted himself...
Damn it, the Hidden Mist commander felt he could really prepare for the afterlife. The Mizukage would definitely push him out to take the blame, but this blame was too big for him to bear!
However, he didn't know that at this moment, Yuki Nezumi was inwardly cursing. His chakra was about to run out, the surrounding flames hadn't been extinguished, and the barrage from above threatened to cough up blood from his chest.
He couldn't cough! Absolutely couldn't cough, or else his handsome and dashing appearance would be ruined.
Those guys up there, their behavior was too unsightly!! They had already destroyed 99 ships, couldn't they leave one for the Hidden Mist Village?
This invasion had just begun, and the fleet was almost entirely wiped out. And letting someone return to the village to report would allow them to trip up the Second Mizukage, which would also help the Land of Whirlpools!
...
"Little Ryuto, what should we do now?" The Second Elder frowned as he looked at the ice shield user below. "This kid is definitely not ordinary. With such powerful abilities, he's almost at the Kage level. Yet he's hiding in the rear."
Uzumaki Ryuto nodded. Of course he was strong - now he could confirm that this squinty-eyed guy was indeed the Third Mizukage. After all, this guy had attended the first Five Kage Summit.
And the attendants of the first Five Kage Summit basically all became the Second of their villages.
Only this kid stubbornly refused to, snatched away by some guy without eyebrows, probably smiling on the outside but inwardly cursing!
They had clearly agreed that those who attended the first Hidden Mist Summit as attendants could inherit the legacy upon returning to the village, but he was deceived and became the Third instead.
Ryuto didn't know if the Third resented Hōzuki for snatching the Second's title from him, but even if he didn't, the relationship between the Third Mizukage and Second Mizukage probably wasn't good. Otherwise, why would they have him stay in the rear and not let him be a commander? This was clearly to prevent him from gaining battle achievements and taking the next Mizukage position.
As for protecting the talent of the Yuki clan...
Ryuto could only scoff. In Konoha, didn't they also prevent the Uchiha clan from gaining achievements to protect them? How did that turn out? The two clans were basically wiped out.
And why was that? Ryuto guessed it was because the Yuki clan had previously produced a Mizukage, while the Uchiha clan had tried but failed to produce a Hokage, leaving only one survivor. But the Yuki succeeded, so they died out.
At the same time, the Land of Fire had Sasuke, who was a child of destiny. Could the Yuki clan compare to that?
Ah, just thinking about it was pitiful!
As for why the Kaguya clan also died out, Ryuto figured it was because they too had competed for the Mizukage position. You could say they were a bunch of idiots more than the Uzumaki clan, yet still wanting to become Mizukage. So they died off leaving just one survivor, who then encountered Uncle Orochimaru...
That last brainless one, Kimimaro, fell for Orochimaru and wanted to offer his body. But Orochimaru didn't look his way! He only desired the Uchiha clan. However, Sasuke was a child of destiny meant to save the world - not so easy to kill off, right?
So Kimimaro offered his body, but Sasuke devoured Orochimaru cleanly!!!
Did they really think after roaming the ninja world for years, seducing so many pure souls, Orochimaru would just settle down with some stable person to have kids?
"No, let him leave," Ryuto said after thinking it over. "Staying like this won't work either. Save some explosive tags for the main force."
He didn't know what would happen if he let this guy gain some battle honors. Would he feel gratitude towards the Uzumaki clan?
But Hozuki Gengetsu's face would probably turn green! After painstakingly taking the Second Mizukage's title and preventing this guy from gaining honors, now the fleet was down to just this one ship saved by the damn Yuki clansman. While Gengetsu himself had been beaten to a pulp, with all his pre-war preparations wasted!
[Ding]
[Gained 90,000 Reputation Points.]
Huh? Why did Reputation suddenly appear? Could it be that Komoku and the others succeeded? But only 90,000??
He remembered the Land of Whirlpools only had around 50,000 participating in the war. Where did so many come from? Could it be someone has reached Intermediate or Advanced Worship level.
So now he had 91,000 Reputation Points. He didn't know what he could exchange them for? To help him achieve victory? After all, there were still two Tailed Beasts and a Kage-level ninja waiting for him.
"Prepare to retreat!" Ryuto said after thinking for a moment. "Those Hidden Mist ninja who went to chase after the Elder and Clan Head have also returned. Go to the rendezvous point now."
It seemed these Hidden Mist ninja also realized something was wrong here, so they gave up chasing the Elder and Clan Head and chose to return. He didn't know the situation with the Elder and Clan Head. You should know, these senior members of the Uzumaki clan were the key to victory!
Although they were old now and their abilities had not reached the Kage level, their sealing techniques were exquisite! Just look at how Hiruzen Sarutobi, at 69 years old, was still able to seal the First and Second Hokage, as well as fight the Snake Master with just one hand.
The elders may not be very strong, but they had powerful chakra reserves! They didn't need to seal a God of Ninja World or anything, just sealing one of the Mizukage's limbs each would be enough to pile up and defeat him. Although the Uzumaki clan had lost many young elite during the war on Konoha's battlefields...
The senior experts were plentiful! There was no choice, this was the result of their exceptional longevity. It seemed later the Land of Whirlpools would have to think about how to deal with an aging population and elderly care issues.
"Yes!!"
...
The cave.
Although Ryuto had made preparations, the cave's environment was still not very good - pitch black, damp, coupled with the atmosphere of war, everyone's hearts were flustered and fearful, especially after the recent violent shaking.
They worried inwardly about their children, wives, husbands, fathers, mothers having met with some accident.
Mournful sobbing was the only sound echoing in the gloomy cave.
Seeing this scene, Kushina immediately knew that her brother Ryuto had arranged a task for her. But as a five or six-year-old child, she had no idea what to do now. She was also worried - worried about her father, grandfather, great-uncles...worried about Lord Whirlpool, and worried about Uzumaki Ryuto.
She was mischievous and adorable, but...
She was still just a child! But thinking of Ryuto's task, especially his promise that he would definitely protect the Land of Whirlpools - Kushina absolutely believed him. Because her brother was so smart, could tell stories, sing songs, and do many incredible things.
So Kushina firmly believed that Ryuto and the others would definitely succeed. However, facing this scene, she didn't know what to do. She looked around anxiously, but there was no one who could help her...
The surrounding ninja vigilantly scanned their surroundings, their faces coldly expressionless, clearly unable to provide any assistance.
"I can do it, I can definitely do it." Kushina clenched her tiny fists, continuously encouraging herself inwardly, because her brother Ryuto said she could definitely do it. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt much more confident. Kushina took a deep breath and stood in front of everyone, her childish voice loudly calling out, "Don't worry everyone, the Clan Head and Lord Ryuto will definitely succeed."
But everyone only gave Kushina a casual glance.
Seeing this, Kushina suddenly felt a bit disheartened. As her brother had said, this task was not at all simple.
Suddenly, it seemed Kushina thought of something. She said loudly, "Then how about we sing a song?"
"Do you all know how to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?"
