"Grandma, let's go, let's go!" Nawaki shouted, pulling his grandmother's arm as they entered the Hokage Tower.
"Nawaki, behave yourself!"
"Don't pull Grandma's arm like that!" Tsunade shouted, scolding her younger brother, already regretting not insisting more with her grandmother not to bring Nawaki to her master's summons.
Anything the Hokage wanted to discuss with her and her grandmother must be very important, so at first he didn't want to bring Nawaki along when she asked to go with them.
But his grandmother agreed, saying that she had an idea of what the Third Hokage wanted to discuss and that it wouldn't be a secret for long.
"Okay, sorry Grandma," Nawaki replied, lowering her head and realizing her mistake.
"Don't be impatient, darling, we'll get there soon."
"Besides, we're not the only ones who arrived late to this meeting."
"Many are still heading this way," Mito said with a smile as Tsunade looked at her curiously.
Her grandmother was the best sensory ninja in the village, so she could sense anyone in the village if she wanted to.
Of course, it would be very tiring to be attentive 24 hours a day to nearby chakra signatures, so it is only on occasions like this that he uses his sensory abilities.
Minutes later, the three entered a large room where about 20 people were gathered.
Looking at everyone present, Tsunade realized that the clan leaders who were not on the borders were there.
Just by seeing all these people who were of Jounin level, and not counting all the Jounin who were in the village and those who were protecting the borders prepared for the next war, one could know the strength of the Leaf Village.
"Lady Mito, Tsunade, Nawaki," said Hiruzen Sarutobi, rising from his seat and greeting the three.
Behind him were his friends Koharu and Homura who also stood up to greet him.
Upon seeing Mito Uzumaki arrive, the other clan leaders also stood up and greeted her respectfully.
Mito and Nawaki returned the greeting while Tsunade just nodded coldly.
Faced with Tsunade's attitude, Hiruzen could only sigh.
Tsunade has had that attitude towards him ever since he refused to send help to the Uzumaki clan, and Hiruzen was just waiting for it to pass when he heard what she had to say.
But thinking about the Uzumaki clan, Hiruzen had another headache.
Five minutes later, the last three clan leaders arrived and Hiruzen stood up.
"hello, everyone"
"The reason for calling everyone is that a major event has occurred."
"The tides on the continent of the elemental nations will change direction, and the blade must be prepared."
Seeing the Third Hokage's serious face and tone, almost everyone present raised their heads and wondered what had happened.
Having everyone's attention, Hiruzen continued.
"As you all know, the armies of the other four main villages gathered to fight against the Uzumaki clan, and we couldn't do more for our allies due to our lack of strength."
"But even though we couldn't help them now, we swore that we would avenge them and bring them justice."
"But although the circumstances seemed unfavorable for the Uzumaki clan, what happened was not at all what was expected."
"According to information sent by ANBU, the Uzumaki clan is doing well."
Upon hearing the Third Hokage's last statement, Tsunade and many others in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
In contrast, the two old men behind Hiruzen and a few clan chiefs had dignified looks because they knew what had happened.
As members of a high-blooded shinobi clan, the clan leaders had methods of sending information such as summons and learned of the 'battle on the shores of the whirlpool' before attending this meeting.
And the elders, for their part, learned what had happened through Hiruzen's own words.
"That's good," Tsunade said with a smile as Nawaki smiled while hugging her grandmother, who was also happy.
Although she already knew this would happen, she was still a little worried about her clan.
"That's good news, but now the 20,000 ninjas from the four great villages will head towards our borders after failing to conquer the Uzumaki clan."
"We must prepare ourselves," said one of the clan chiefs, drawing everyone's attention, and they all agreed.
Facing 20,000 more ninjas, the leaf will have a very difficult time in the future.
Seeing the worried faces, Hiruzen didn't delay any longer and continued.
"We don't have to worry about the 20,000 ninjas from the four great villages."
"According to information sent by ANBU and confirmed several times, more than 99% of the ninjas from the 4 great villages who faced the Uzumaki clan have been eliminated."
Absolute silence
The room suddenly lost all sound as everyone listened and tried to understand what the Third Hokage said.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, everyone who didn't know what happened shouted for answers.
"Silence!" shouted the Hokage, and the noise subsided.
To avoid further complicating matters, the Third Hokage relayed the information sent by ANBU while everyone listened in disbelief and silence.
Even those who already knew, listened again to the Hokage as they tried to imagine that shocking battle.
No
It wasn't a battle
It was a massacre
But to everyone's astonishment, it was a massacre carried out by a single man.
A man named Gin Uzumaki
A thousand-meter lightning dragon
A huge pillar of lightning that traveled kilometers across the open sea
And a shower of lightning spears rained down on an area of tens of square kilometers.
It took just 3 Jutus to take down 20,000 ninjas, and from what they heard, just the last one was enough to achieve the same.
All these terrifying Jutsus were unleashed by a single man, making everyone remember the stories of the legendary battles between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
From now on, another name will appear when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are mentioned.
The presence of another Shinobi God after Hashirama Senju was something that would change the entire status quo on the continent, and suddenly they remembered what the third hokage had said.
'The tides on the continent of the elemental nations will change, and the blade must be prepared.'
Knowing now what they knew, they could not deny these words.
"Grandma, did you know this would happen? Who is Gin Uzumaki?"
Suddenly, while everyone was silently imagining this shocking battle, Tsunade's voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
"Ms. Mito, I would greatly appreciate it if you have any information you could share," Hiruzen said.
Despite the calm image he projected outwardly, the truth was that Hiruzen was terrified.
He still remembered the training battles between the First Hokage and Second Hokage, and then the final battle between the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.
Remembering the strength of these last monsters made Hiruzen's legs tremble despite being a veteran shinobi.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Mito moistened her lips and opened her mouth.
"Gin Uzumaki is the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan"
"Therefore, it is obvious that he is also the Uzukage and the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools."
At Mito's words, everyone nodded, finding it not strange that this man was the leader of the Uzumaki clan.
"But as strange as this may sound, I remember that when I was little the patriarch looked the same as he does now."
Mito's words caught everyone's attention.
According to what they knew, Mito Uzumaki was now about 80 years old, so this Uzumaki patriarch has maintained his appearance for almost 80 years.
"How old is the Uzumaki patriarch?" Nawaki asked curiously.
His grandmother was already one of the oldest people he knew, so he was intrigued by someone much older than her.
In response to Nawaki's question, everyone thought about what kind of jutsu could maintain a person's appearance.
Especially women, who were bothered by the idea of growing old.
Even Tsunade, who was still young, was interested in a Jutsu that would keep her young.
It couldn't be the well-known longevity of the Uzumaki clan, because Mito Uzumaki already looked old at the age of 80.
What they didn't know was that Mito looked so old because she used many secret jutsus in her youth that cost her a lot of vitality.
Upon hearing his grandson's words, Mito made a jealous face, remembering the Uzumaki patriarch's age and how he still maintained such a youthful appearance.
Jealously, the matriarch Senju said.
"180 years"
"If my calculations are correct, the Uzumaki patriarch is 180 years old."
Suddenly, everyone thought they had misheard.
