Chapter 77 The Uzumaki Clan Discovers the Root Stronghold
The unicorn beetle quietly perched on a branch, and Yuuki's gaze remained fixed on the Land of Whirlpools, observing it for nearly two and a half days.
He has never left Konoha since he was a child.
The last battle to defend the Land of Whirlpools was fierce, and the endless sealing techniques were far more interesting than the scenery.
While waiting for the 'Reverse Summoning' to disappear, take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the Land of Whirlpools.
It's a wonderful thing.
A short distance away, a red-haired ninja was fleeing in a sorry state, while nearly ten Mist Ninja were relentlessly pursuing him from behind.
He fled, he was pursued, but he could not escape.
The red-haired ninja was panting heavily, his hands constantly forming hand seals, and the runes spreading across his body were writhing, but he did not release any ninjutsu.
His chakra was completely depleted!
The ninja noticed the hand seals and instinctively slowed down their movements, which is why they couldn't catch up with them along the way.
The Land of Whirlpools and the Hidden Mist have entered a state of stalemate.
The reckless Mist Ninja had long since died on the battlefield.
The remaining seasoned veterans retorted, "With hundreds of thousands of taels a month, why risk your life?"
"His chakra is almost depleted. Even the Uzumaki ninja, known for his massive chakra reserves, can be drained one day..." Yuuki thought with amusement.
"Keep running. Once we reach that location, we'll bring a little surprise to the Mist Ninja."
In the past two and a half days, Yuuki accelerated the insectoid infiltration of the ninja world.
On the surface, no one dares to cause trouble directly; the Sage of Six Paths is watching from the Pure Land.
However, the contract with several ninjas not only gave them the audacity to indirectly control resources in the ninja world, but also a great deal of it.
The unicorn insects gradually spread to the Land of Fire and the Land of Whirlpools.
Meanwhile, Yuuki's strongest individual combatant, the Insect Hive Tyrant, has arrived in the Land of Whirlpools today and will officially debut in the ninja world.
Dili dili.
The chase continued, and light raindrops slowly began to fall from the sky.
The damp weather is perfect for the Mist Ninja to fight, as if the heavens are helping them hunt down the Uzumaki Ninja.
Fifteen-year-old Naoto Uzumaki had a look of despair on his face. His chakra flowed stagnate in his meridians, and he collapsed to the ground, powerless.
Is this the end?
I'm so unwilling to accept this!
"Kid, run! Keep running! Hahaha."
The rain poured down harder and harder. The pursuing Mist Ninja, their faces full of mockery, looked at the frail figure lying on the ground and slowly raised their kunai.
They surrounded him, and then... circled around Naoto Uzumaki.
"Earth, go up and take care of this brat."
Why don't you go?
"Kill him quickly and go back to collect the bounty!"
Nobody's stupid!
The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki family left a deep shadow on them.
In a desperate struggle, a mere vortex brat managed to kill everyone present.
Once you go in to finish them off, who knows if you'll be the one who dies?
Naoto Uzumaki slightly raised his head, a ruthless look on his face. He stared intently at the leader of the Mist Ninja, his hands forming a threatening hand seal, as if he were fighting to the death.
For a moment, the situation seemed to be at a standstill.
Suddenly, the pool of water beneath his feet trembled, and two hands shot out swiftly, grabbing his hands as he was forming hand seals!
The kunai slashed past, a flash of light!
pat!
A whole arm fell to the ground with a thud. Naoto Uzumaki was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what had happened.
"Damn it, I actually got fooled by a brat!"
The Mist Ninja's expression wasn't good, but when he thought of the reward for capturing the Uzumaki Ninja alive, a smile returned to his face.
Naoto Uzumaki roared angrily, "Intruders, you will pay the price one day!"
"Heh, you won't live to see that day!"
Swish!
The sharp blade pierced through his chest!
The shattered giant claw sliced downwards along the blade, as smoothly as slicing a watermelon, splitting all the Mist Ninja in two!
The exploded corpse instantly stained the ground red!
"Some of it...wasteful!"
A shadow six meters tall lay on the ground collecting body parts, incidentally enveloping Naoto Uzumaki.
"Who are you...who are you?"
Upon seeing such a colossal object, Naoto Uzumaki felt a sense of panic rise involuntarily.
He had seen colossal summoned beasts before, but facing the monster before him was far more stressful than any summoned beast he had ever encountered!
The exoskeleton gleamed with a cold light, each piece seemingly born for slaughter!
Human-like arms and mantis-like forelimbs, a pervasive stench, the sizzling sound of saliva dripping and corroding...
And that exaggerated speed and power!
It undoubtedly demonstrates two words—powerful!
Most importantly, no ninjutsu was used; only claw techniques were employed!
Jonin, definitely at the Jonin level of combat!
After cleaning up the corpses, the Hive Tyrant slowly walked up to Naoto Uzumaki.
“You are the most civilized human I’ve passed by these past few days.” It used its claws to lift the vortex-like man and slowly slid him into a cave.
Upon hearing the words of the Hive Tyrant, Naoto Uzumaki felt his emotions surge.
He got it!
This is a story from a novel!
The protagonist encounters a great calamity, is transferred to a mountain cave, signs a summoning scroll, befriends powerful summoning beasts, and then punches and kicks the Mist Ninja and kicks the Cloud Ninja, reaching the pinnacle of life!
Before Naoto Uzumaki could finish his fantasy, a cold buzzing sound came from above his head.
"Because you met me, I saved your life, so... you need to meet my needs and support me for the rest of your life!"
"Ugh?!"
Naoto Uzumaki's beautiful fantasy was shattered.
"I'll meet your needs?"
The Hive Tyrant's狰狞 face drew closer, and it asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"
"Absolutely not!"
Staring at the blood-stained, shattered giant claw, Naoto Uzumaki swallowed hard, then scrambled backward, performing a perfect dogeza (a deep bow) before the Hive Tyrant.
A wise person knows when to yield; it's always better to be alive than dead!
"Very good, from today onwards, you are a soldier under my command!"
A psychic scroll was placed in front of Naoto Uzumaki.
Open, sign, and press your fingerprint.
Naoto Uzumaki successfully sold himself for zero yen.
"Our mission is to plunder, to plunder everything that belongs to living beings!..." After the scroll was signed and a connection was established between the two, the Hive Tyrant seemed to be fanatically proclaiming his ideology.
The Hive Tyrant was completely obedient to Yushu, not controlled by the Hive Mind, nor tainted by the characteristics of the Warp.
Naturally, it won't inherit messy or nonsensical ideas.
Now that the pie in the sky is done, it's time to get down to business.
"Your task is to provide me with one hundred chakra-infused creatures each month, each weighing no less than one hundred pounds. In return, I can help you wipe out the enemy, but only at a very small price..."
"Ah, yes, yes! I understand what you mean!"
Naoto Uzumaki leaned his head against the wall, trembling.
I wasn't scared, I was exhausted!
He used chakra constantly and fled for a day and a night.
It's already good that you can stay awake!
Suddenly, he vaguely heard something strange through the wall.
"Boss?"
"Call me Commander!"
"Commander, are there... allies stationed next door?"
“No.” The Hive Tyrant shook its ferocious giant body: “In this area, you are currently my only soldier.”
“One…” Naoto Uzumaki chuckled dryly, “Could you help me break down this wall?”
"Ten food items!" the Hive Tyrant replied upon receiving Yuuki's instruction.
"I know!"
boom!
A wall a meter thick was torn apart, and on the other side, a passageway about half a person's height appeared.
The sound grew a few decibels.
The Hive Tyrant crashed into walls until the last one was shattered.
Naoto Uzumaki brushed off the dust, and the scene that came into view stunned him!
Two red-haired women from the Uzumaki clan were seen with golden binding spells cast upon them.
His eyes stared blankly upwards, clearly suffering from the torment of illusion.
It made whimpering sounds, as if pleading for help.
A member of the Whirlpool Clan, whose fate was unknown, lay on the ground.
The entire cave reeked of a strong, foul stench!
brainwashing!
The two words quickly overwhelmed Naoto Uzumaki's reason, and a bit of his physical potential was unleashed.
The resident roots came running upon hearing the sound.
He used a sealing technique to quickly save his people.
"Damn it, it's Konoha! The people of Konoha are capturing my clansmen!"
Naoto Uzumaki didn't know the intelligence or Root, but he vaguely remembered that they were currently within the Land of Fire!
Yuuki, who had followed behind, was also surprised.
He ordered the Hive Tyrant to capture several Root members alive.
Such a coincidence?
The location where the Hive Tyrant landed was right near the Root outpost, which happened to be where Danzo Shimura had placed the captured Uzumaki clan members.
"Shimura Danzo, you've been far too careless to place the Uzumaki clan here?"
"No, this is the edge of the Land of Fire, there's no need to worry about safety!"
