Capítulo 30: Anyway, it’s on you, what do you want?
"Toru, what do you think will happen tomorrow?" A bored ninja wearing a mist hidden forehead protector looked around and asked.
"I don't know!" Toru stretched lazily, gazing at the sky. "Maybe the war will end tomorrow?"
The night in the Land of Whirlpools wasn't particularly special. It was unknown how long this war would last.
"Maybe!" Kaidō yawned and said, "I thought we could take down the Land of Whirlpools in just one day, but now it seems the Whirlpool Country is no pushover!"
Indeed, any clan that has survived for thousands of years cannot be easily destroyed. Moreover, the Land of Whirlpools is a country established in the form of a clan. However...
The Hidden Mist Village is stronger. The Land of Whirlpools is just prolonging its existence for a few more days. No matter how powerful the Uzumaki Clan is, it is still just one clan.
"War..." Toru did not respond to Kaidō's words, but muttered, "When will it end?"
He was already getting tired of the war.
"Soon." Kaidō leaned against a tree and said, "Once the battle in the Land of Whirlpools ends, the war will also end."
"Now, all the major ninja villages are calling for peace, and the anti-war mentality is becoming more severe, so it won't last long."
"I hope so..."
However, before Toru could finish his sentence!!
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, a loud explosion, and a dazzling light burst out in the darkness.
"Damn Whirlpool ninjas, it's an explosive tag." Kaidō saw the flames and shouted loudly, "We're under attack."
Toru was no longer depressed either, and hurried towards the direction of the explosive tag.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the explosive tag had already gone off, Uzumaki Komoku quickly shouted. He had already sensed that ninjas were heading their way. They weren't here to fight the Hidden Mist Village, but just to set an alarm clock, telling them to wake up and take a night leak.
Since everyone was already awake, they might as well leave! Otherwise, what if the Hidden Mist ninjas had morning grumpiness?
They'd be blown up!!
Can't afford to provoke them, can't afford it!!
...
"Again like this!!" The Mist ninjas were about to go crazy. Who fights a war like the Land of Whirlpools?
Throw a few explosive tags to wake people up and then slip away. Don't explosive tags cost money?
Didn't a few ninjas just fall? Wouldn't they suffer losses?
Or is the Land of Whirlpools really that wealthy?
And even if they were rich, they couldn't do such an ungracious thing!
If wars were fought like this, would ninjas still be needed?
They might as well just bombard with explosive tags.
Especially now, explosive tags, explosive tags, and more explosive tags, but not a single Whirlpool ninja to be seen.
Didn't you see the Mizukage's face turning green?
And just when they wanted to get a good night's sleep, they were woken up as soon as they fell asleep. Who wouldn't be furious?
Even the Mist's Reaper, Gengetsu Hōzuki, was so angry he felt like cutting someone down!
He suddenly felt that starting this war might not have been the right decision. Ever since setting foot in the Land of Whirlpools, his luck had been terrible!
Not only had he nearly lost all his cannon fodder, but he only had one ship left in his fleet. Yuki Nezumi had probably already reached the Hidden Mist Village and was preparing to criticize him tomorrow.
Moreover...
If it weren't for the sealing techniques and researching the jinchūriki's powers, who would bother coming here?!
The other ninja villages were watching the Hidden Mist closely. This was because the other villages didn't want to see the Uzumaki Clan survive. Otherwise, the Hidden Mist would never have invaded the Land of Whirlpools, especially Konoha. Heh!!
The Leaf ninjas were probably lurking around, just waiting for them to finish off the Land of Whirlpools, and then swoop in as the "forces of justice" to snatch the benefits. But what they didn't know was...
The Hidden Mist actually needed this territory bordering Konoha, the Land of Whirlpools!!
They were taking advantage of this invasion to seize it.
"What's the situation?" Gengetsu Hōzuki's face darkened as he inquired to the ninjas on guard, "Have you caught any Whirlpool ninjas?"
"No." The Mist ninja shook his head. "Just like before, they threw explosive tags and fled."
What exactly did the Uzumaki Clan want to do?
Gengetsu Hōzuki was filled with confusion, unable to guess why they would just throw explosive tags without attempting to ambush. He had never encountered such a way of waging war before. Could the Land of Whirlpools really be so wealthy?
Throwing explosive tags around so casually?
Were they planning to set off a few more firecrackers to celebrate while they were still alive?
"Stay on alert and send more ninjas to patrol the area." Gengetsu Hōzuki thought for a moment but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only continue with the previous arrangements. Otherwise, he really had no other options!!
"Yes!"
...
Of course, Uzumaki Ryu wouldn't tell the Hidden Mist. They really just wanted to harass the Mist ninjas, without any other intentions. Holding a telescope, he watched the movements at the Mist ninjas' camp, which seemed to be gradually settling down again, as if they were about to rest.
This wouldn't do!
If you don't stay awake, how can you be expected to be without energy?
He instructed Uzumaki Kai beside him, "In a while, have someone release more explosive tags, but as usual, just throw them and run."
"Yes!"
Glancing at the clan leader explaining the current situation to the Senju Clan, Uzumaki Ryu turned his gaze back to the Mist ninjas' camp. With no lights at night, visibility was poor, making it quite difficult to observe carefully.
When the war ended, he should see about getting street lamps installed in the Land of Whirlpools.
...
"Simply unbelievable." Senju Hidezumi's expression was one of disbelief after hearing the Uzumaki Clan leader's account of the war situation. It seemed the Uzumaki didn't need his support of thirty-odd jonin at all...
Ah--!!
It was probably himself and these jonin who would be of no use on the battlefield. Thinking of this, Senju Hidezumi's face immediately showed an embarrassed look.
The clan leader seemed to have guessed what Senju Hidezumi was thinking, and laughed heartily, "The Uzumaki Clan is very grateful that the Senju could come to help, and moreover, all this is thanks to Ryu's efforts."
"That kid?" A young man behind Senju Hidezumi asked doubtfully.
But he was met with a fierce glare from Senju Hidezumi. What kind of way is that to speak?
That person is now the voice of the Uzumaki Clan! Show some respect!!
Didn't you see the Uzumaki Clan's unfriendly looks?
"My apologies." Senju Hidezumi said regretfully, "Taira didn't mean any disrespect."
"It's alright, it's alright." Hearing Senju Hidezumi's apology, the clan leader accepted it with a smile. "Although Ryu is young, no one underestimates him, and he is now also the leader of the Uzumaki Clan and the Land of Whirlpools."
Hearing the clan leader's words, Senju Taira quickly apologized, "I deeply apologize, I meant no disrespect."
The Senju clansmen showed expressions of disbelief. It seemed they could not afford to look down on that young man.
To lead the Land of Whirlpool to victory it is extremely extraordinary.
"Think nothing of it," the leader waved a hand. "As for your deployment, wait for Ryuto's instructions." His eyes narrowed, "Here, all follow Ryuto's command. I hope you understand."
"Of course," Hidezumi nodded. "From now on, the Senju will follow Lord Ryuto's orders without question."
On the battlefield, the last thing needed was conflicting voices. The Senju took no offense at the disrespect towards their leader. Some things were better clarified to avoid trouble, especially in an existential war leaving no room for error.
