Year 48 of Konoha, Year 20 of the Red Calendar, May...
Because the Five Great Shinobi Villages suddenly started a war against the Land of Whirlpools, the entire shinobi world was now plunged into an eerie atmosphere...
Some small shinobi village countries, wanting the shinobi village system to continue, and also to see if they could gain some benefits from the Land of Whirlpools, actively responded to the call of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, preparing to follow them in the expedition against the Land of Whirlpools.
As for the countries with the Red system...
Having undergone revolution, their domestic stubborn elements were largely purged, and the number of shinobi had significantly decreased...
They relied on the aid and maintenance from the Land of Whirlpools to stabilize their countries. Now, with this sudden large-scale conflict, even if they wanted to help, they couldn't!!
Especially since the Five Great Shinobi Villages were leading a bunch of smaller followers...
They couldn't win, they simply couldn't win!!
And some fence-sitters always have reasons for their actions, no matter the time or the deed...
So, some small countries quieted down, intending to wait and see the outcome, because...
In the past several times, many people thought the Land of Whirlpools was finished, but it stubbornly survived and became one of the most powerful countries.
This time, even if the shinobi world's strongest, the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, was missing, who could guarantee the Land of Whirlpools would definitely fall?
Of course, there were also some clear-sighted countries that understood...
If the Red leader fell, their own countries would not fare well either!
It was precisely because the Land of Whirlpools was holding the front line that these small countries could develop peacefully. So, they decided...
To send troops!!!
The Red ideology and the shinobi village system could only coexist with one dead...
...
"Hello!" Uzumaki Komaki looked at the somewhat sturdy, black-haired man in front of him, who wore black and blue armor with a diagram in the center. He smiled, extended his hand, and said, "You've worked hard."
"Not hard at all. We are all members of the Red Alliance countries. This is what we should do." The black-haired man remained expressionless, shook Komaki's hand, and said flatly, "Moreover, the Land of Whirlpools helped our Land of Snow a lot back then. So, the Land of Snow will absolutely not stand by and watch an ally in danger."
"Thank you!" Uzumaki Komaki, hearing the words of the Land of Snow's Military Minister, showed gratitude and nodded. Then, looking at the Land of Snow shinobi behind Fubuki Nutō, who looked tired but still stood tall, gazing forward, he said, "After the long journey, you must be tired. The Land of Whirlpools has arranged a place for you to rest. Please rest first!"
"It's fine!" Fubuki Nutō said, "If there is anything the Land of Snow can help with, please do not hesitate to say so."
He clapped his hands, and then...
A man wearing glasses, dressed like a researcher, came forward from behind, leading several dozen shinobi carrying more than ten boxes. "This is the chakra armor jointly researched by the Land of Snow and the Land of Whirlpools researchers. It has finally been successfully developed and can be used in actual combat."
"So, this time I brought some finished products and the manufacturing blueprints, hoping they can be of help to the Land of Whirlpools!"
"Chakra armor?" Uzumaki Komaki was stunned upon hearing Fubuki Nutō's words, his face showing excitement as he said, "Thank you so much."
He knew the Research Institute and the Land of Snow had been collaborating on a project: the development of chakra armor. Armor that could absorb the chakra of an enemy's ninjutsu and convert it for use by the wearer...
To some extent, it was a weakened version similar to the armor Sasori created, but the production cost wasn't as high, and it had fewer weapons...
"Someone, help our friends from the Land of Snow take the armor to the Research Institute."
This way...
Shinobi with insufficient chakra reserves could gain a bit more endurance in battle!
At that moment...
A Uzu police officer ran over, saluted Uzumaki Komaki, and said, "The leader of the Star Village, Summer Sun, has brought Star Village shinobi to support the Land of Whirlpools. The higher-ups sent me to inform you and hope you can arrange things."
"Star Village is here too?" Uzumaki Komaki was stunned, his face immediately showing a trace of difficulty as he said, "Is there no one left at the Military Ministry?"
He still had to arrange food and lodging for the Land of Snow allies here...
"Ah, because the Star Village leader wants to meet Uchiha Fugaku." The Uzu police officer suddenly wore an awkward smile and said, "But you know Uchiha Fugaku is currently..."
A defector!!
"..."
So, none of you want to deal with an angry woman, and you send me?
Please, I'm the Military Minister!
Uzumaki Komaki said irritably, "Take her to the Uchiha clan and let Chief Obito handle it himself!"
This hot potato...
Their Uzumaki clan won't carry it!
"Chief Obito has slipped away!" The Uzu police officer said helplessly, "Originally, we were indeed going to find him, but when the Chief heard it was the Star Village leader, then, for some reason, after a spatial fluctuation, he disappeared."
Space-Time Ninjutsu!
Who would have thought Chief Obito, usually scatterbrained and always joking around, would be a genius at a critical moment?!
He even knows Space-Time Ninjutsu.
"Get lost!" Uzumaki Komaki kicked the Uzu police officer in the backside and said irritably, "Then why don't you just take her directly to the Uchiha clan! I don't believe that brat Obito can avoid going home forever."
Your chief isn't here, so you come to me, the Military Minister, to take the blame?
"If absolutely necessary, go find Minister Muroto Jōmon; he's Obito's direct superior!"
He was busy right now!!
Especially with a resentful woman in love. If she found out Uchiha Fugaku wasn't in the Land of Whirlpools, she might just curse him to death!
And the matter of Uchiha Fugaku...
It was really hard to explain!!
Then, he turned to Fubuki Nutō and said, "Let's go arrange your food and lodging now!"
Better to make a quick escape. This hot potato...
You Uchiha handle it yourselves!
...
"Cultivating immortality mainly requires enduring loneliness!" Uzumaki Jun looked at the three little creatures in front of him, sighed, and said, "I have never taught students as dumb as you."
Although he had never taught Sage Mode to other creatures before, dumb was dumb, no reason needed!
"Now hurry up, find a spot and go cultivate immortality."
"Especially the toad and the white snake, if you fight again, I'll punish you by making you copy books, one hundred times each. Then, Gamaru, you use your tongue to hold the pen, White Snake..."
He narrowed his eyes at the small white phosphorous snake...
"You use your tail!!!"
You are all classmates, why must you insist on eating each other?
Can't you eat something else?
Look how well restrained Gamaru is; the slug has been here for so long, and he never once extended his tongue towards her. Why can't you, White Snake, do the same?
"One hand alone can't clap!"
Uzumaki Jun shook his head and said with emotion, "Flies only go to cracked eggs. If I find out later that you haven't been cultivating immortality honestly, you'll both be punished!!"
"Gugu!!" Hearing Uzumaki Jun's words, Gamaru seemed very unhappy and wanted to say something, but...
"Hmm?!" Uzumaki Jun glared sideways...
Gamaru immediately hopped to the side, obediently closed his eyes, and began to cultivate immortality...
