On the way to the office of the head, I thought, what should I do, become a nukenin when we run away in Konoha and continue training and get hired in one of the great villages, or while staying in Uzushio to draw knowledge from there, and when we are pressed quietly to dump, and then in Konoha to revive the clan, but the second option I like more, because if I become a nukenin, then not only relatives but also their allies will hunt for me, but in the case of an escape after the destruction of the village, I can legally become the head of the clan, but there are some nuances here: firstly, I must still live up to this time, and secondly, I will become the main one only if there are no direct heirs, which means I will have to get rid of Kushina. Although wait, if she becomes a jinchuriki, which means that no one will give her the post of the head of the village, so you can do without eliminating her
In a few minutes I was already standing in front of the door to the chapter's office and waiting.
- Come in.
When I entered, I saw a spacious room, but I did not find anything unusual or expensive: a table in the middle of the room at which the head was sitting, a large amount of papers on this table, a sofa and an armchair, in the corner there was a large cabinet with security seals, shelves on which were neatly laid out. folders, a picture of some kind of battle on the wall, as well as flowers in pots in the corners of the room.
- Ichiro come in
Pointing to the sofa, the head offered to sit on it, but I did not refuse.
- Have you already prepared for departure?
- Yes, I'm ready to go right now.
- Well, well, this is your first mission and I understand that you are still young and worried, but you need experience and I hope that you will show yourself well.
- I will try, but let me ask why I was given such an important mission for my first assignment?
- This is because I have high hopes for you. I think you already know that you have an abnormally high amount of chakra, even for the Uzumaki, and therefore I want you to become strong as soon as possible, for the good of the village.
It is clear that he does not even hide that I am their super soldier.
- Thank you for your efforts, I will try and fail you.
- I really hope so.
*Knock-Knock*
- Come in.
- Master.
A shinobi dressed as a jounin appeared in the room and bowed to the head.
- Mistuo you on time, it is Ichiro, he will go with you, I hope you look after him, this is his first mission so do not be hard on him.
- Atsushi-sama understood you
- Also, in addition to the main escort mission, you must, under the pretext of guarding the village of Omura (I don't know if there was such a village, but here it is a port for Uzumaki ships and connects them to the continent) withdraw our troops from Konoha living in a quarter belonging to us ...
- Yes sir! But what about those who are not combat-ready?
- For now, I think the hokge will not let us do it, but now you can go.
Atsushi after the departure of yy
- Even if I wanted to get everyone out, I could not, the Hokage and the elders would not let me do it. We'll have to leave them there, and after all, Danzo will not miss such a chance to pick up a couple of experimental subjects for his experiments. It means that he will have to focus on protecting the village, because the war is approaching and two opponents are a serious problem and it is not known who will join them, but after the end of the war I I'll remember it.
"I hope Lady Mito will look after Kushina-chan.
The head hit the table of paper on which the table scattered in all directions, the table cracked from the force that emanated from the head, all this from the realization of what kind of torment he would send those who remained there.
Yy
After leaving the office, the captain said to pack up and wait twenty minutes at the exit from the village. Ten minutes later, having finished all the affairs, namely, saying goodbye to Yuuki and locking my house, I stood at the gate, I like to come early so you can not strain that you can be late and I don't like to say hello to everyone, I have this feature since my last life.
And at the appointed time, escort shinobi appeared, half of them were disguised as servants in clothes that could be called very expensive, pancake disguise, the rest were in their vests and protectors.
We all stepped aside so as not to interfere with the passage of people through the gate. Although I did not see the point in this, because there are several gates and their size was such that three trucks could pass at the same time.
Our captain came forward, Mistsuo seems, and began to speak
- So the essence of the mission is known to everyone, but for those who forgot to repeat it is necessary to ensure the safety of the princess, as well as accompany her to Konoha. Is everything clear to everyone?
- Hi!
After 10 minutes of checking the condition of weapons and equipment, by the way, I had my tanto with me, in under the bag there were kunai with shuriken metal threads, the explosion of the seal, the rest of the items like clothes, water and food were in my storage seals that were in my backpack Hime arrived in a carriage accompanied by guards who looked like the classic samurai in films about medieval Japan. So in addition to shinobitu, there are also ordinary types of troops.
- Mistress
Everyone present greeted her. She, in turn, smiled sweetly and waved her small hand.

After leaving the gates of the city, we moved on foot and in four hours reached the port in which a ship was waiting for us, with the help of which we would get to the continent.
We crossed the sea for two days as we had to bypass the famous natural phenomenon in whose honor the village was named. The craters themselves are the protection of our island, but this protection is not absolute, the size of the crater and its place of appearance are chaotic and it is difficult to predict its future location, but it is possible to make approximate calculations as the captain told me.
He also told me that many believe that the ancestor of the clan made a contract with a sea monster equal in strength to the tailed ones that lives under water, and in exchange for their knowledge and the blood of animals that the inhabitants give to the sea, he must protect the island.
Well, I will tell you, I believe that if it really is, then any sensor would notice it, since such a creature that is capable of creating a large number of funnels around the whole island, the chakras should be immeasurable and with its help the Maelstrom would definitely withstand during the war. Well, in fact, there may be a natural phenomenon (which I dare not explain), it is then that is our shield, which is very difficult to pass, but it will not be realistic to remain unnoticed. Although I do not exclude the fact that the story is true.

Upon arrival on the continent, we stopped at a hotel, since the princess is five years old, and she was not used to such travels, on the way to Konoha we will have to stop so often and this increases the chance of enemy attacks, but fortunately we should be met halfway allies and escort to the village. But I still need to be ready for the attack.
Walking around the town, I see a cheerful village: children are playing in the street, the cries of drunken fishermen can be heard from the tavern, our * reds are selling in the shops. Passing an alley where people are fish remains and other waste, I saw a little boy of nine years old with dirty hair in equal clothes with one hand trying to find something in a pile of rubbish and with the other holding his bleeding forehead.
I could not walk past and came up to a distance of three meters from him and asked.
- What are you looking for?
I know it's stupid to ask, because I'm almost sure that he is looking for food, but I do not have communication skills and I have to start somewhere.
The guy turned around and began to examine me with one eye, as the second was already flooded with blood, at first his gaze exuded indifference as if he had lost all the most precious that he had, then there was fear, and then joy with tears.
I was surprised at such a range of emotions, as the guy very quickly ran to me and began to hug me.
* Sob *
- Brother! Brother ... you ... you are back!
