Chapter 12 The Demise of the Land of Whirlpools, Conspiracy Theories Confirmed
October 1, Konoha 33.
The Ninja Academy has started a new school year. The graduating sixth graders and the first graders who have moved up to the next class have vacated classrooms, saying goodbye to a group of familiar faces and welcoming a group of unfamiliar faces.
Before anyone knew it, the Crown Prince of Konoha had gone from a freshman to a graduate.
Next March, this highly anticipated grandson of the Hokage, who carries the glory of the Senju clan, will become a full-fledged ninja.
Yoru Gojo, who is already a fourth-year student, is very interested in this grandson of the Hokage.
The reason he paid so much attention to Rope Tree was because the other party represented an anchor point!
This was Tsunade's younger brother, the grandson of the First Hokage, who died at the age of 12.
His death occurred during the Second Shinobi World War.
This means that if the Butterfly Storm had not occurred, the Second Shinobi World War would have broken out when Nawaki was twelve years old.
That is... Konoha Year 35!
Gojo has two, at most three, years of development time left.
If Konoha's firepower is insufficient, this generation could be sent to the battlefield at any time.
In special circumstances, these genin might be led by jonin or chunin to participate in a battle like the Kannabi Bridge Incident during the Third Shinobi World War.
You might encounter an enemy of Chunin or Jonin level at any time!
Before the Second Shinobi World War breaks out, Gojo Yoru must have the strength to deal with those hypothetical scenarios and hypothetical enemies.
He walked into the school with his hands in his pockets. Apart from the first-year students, the ninja academy students stopped and gave him a wide berth, just like they had done years before. They didn't even dare to look Gojo Yoru in the eye, for fear of provoking this infamous demon king.
But no one knew that this great demon king was just a shadow clone.
Back in the previous year, aside from practical training, Gojo Yoru hadn't been to the Ninja Academy at all.
If it weren't for the possibility of being matched against Minato Namikaze, whose shadow clones would be destroyed and expose his true strength, Gojo Yoru wouldn't even want to come to the Ninja Academy.
……
5 month 17 day.
A piece of news shocked the entire ninja world.
For a thousand years during the Warring States period, the Senju clan, a distant relative of the Senju clan, whose sealing techniques were feared throughout the ninja world, and who was also a powerful force of the Senju clan, along with the Land of Whirlpools and the Hidden Village of Whirlpools they established overseas, have actually perished!
The Land of Fire, an ally of the Land of Whirlpools, didn't even have time to react.
Because the invaders of the Land of Whirlpools were not the surrounding small overseas countries, nor the small countries of the ninja continent, but the four major countries excluding the Land of Fire.
Unlike Konoha, which was composed of powerful ninja clans from various Warring States periods, Uzushiogakure consisted only of members of the Uzumaki clan, along with some people from other regions.
They do not have the fighting ability to take on four opponents at once.
Faced with the encirclement and suppression of the four major ninja villages, they were completely powerless to resist.
Everyone on the island, whether they were members of the Uzumaki clan or outsiders, was ruthlessly slaughtered. Their bodies were either burned or buried by ninjutsu, or packed up and taken away for research.
Very few members survived by sheer luck.
Those who escaped this calamity were actually the female members of the clan who had married into other families and abandoned their original surnames.
Fortunately, as an ally of Uzushiogakure, Konoha has always maintained ninja presence in Uzushiogakure.
At the urging of the Uzumaki Village leadership, the Konoha ninja took the hope of the Uzumaki clan and escorted them back to Konoha.
By the time Konoha's reinforcements arrived in the Land of Whirlpools, the massacre was already over, and the island was a scene of devastation, littered with corpses.
When this news reached Konoha, no one knew what the higher-ups' reaction was.
However, Gojo noticed that it was rare to see a ninja wearing a green vest on the street lately.
Aside from the patrolling ninjas at night, it's rare to see afterimages flying above the rooftops.
Clearly, these high-ranking ninjas have all been dispatched.
As for what she went out to do, Gojo Yoru didn't know, but he could guess.
They were either on some mission or guarding the border.
The destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was tantamount to a countdown to war.
Previously, the four great nations that were exploiting the vampire kingdom and expanding their territories have now received the millennium-old inheritance of the Uzumaki clan, resulting in a surge in their strength. They certainly won't stop there; they'll only intensify their actions.
One more spark and the entire ninja world will be ignited.
As the Uzumaki clan faded into the dust of history, Gojo Yoru, who had waited for many years, finally arrived in Konoha.
From the second day onwards, Gojo Yoru went to the Ninja Academy in his true form, whether for academic or practical lessons, waiting for that figure to appear.
As a result, this wait lasted until the second semester, which started in September.
Clearly, the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was a huge blow to Kushina Uzumaki.
If it weren't for the comfort of the legendary clanswoman Mito Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki might have "turned to the dark side" like Sasuke Uchiha, living in hatred every day and becoming a vengeful person.
However, the simple-minded Kushina Uzumaki was unaware that she was being brainwashed by "love" and being used as a vessel by the village's higher-ups.
If no one pulls her out of the fire, then once Mito Uzumaki, who was her protector, dies, her future life will be spent under surveillance.
The area where she could move was always fixed within a designated range. Only when the village faced a crisis and needed to use the power of a Jinchuriki could Kushina Uzumaki leave Konoha.
"Tsk tsk... It really is a conspiracy theory. Politicians are indeed all black-hearted."
On the Hokage Rock, Gojo Yoru sat on the cliff edge, looking down at the beautiful village with a mocking gaze.
At this moment, Gojo Yoru finally understood the feelings of a Jinchūriki.
No wonder those Jinchūriki are all psychologically twisted; even the younger brothers of the Five Kage cannot integrate into the village.
The actions of these high-ranking members of the ninja village were far too extreme, and anyone would feel disheartened by them.
Gojo Yoru was already curious as to why Konoha at this time of time did not have the barriers of later generations, and thought that they had not yet obtained or developed them.
Unexpectedly, Konoha's barrier was actually created because of Kushina Uzumaki!
Although it hasn't yet enveloped the entire village, Gojo Yoru, who frequently uses space-time abilities to escape Konoha, now has eyes that resemble the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, as if he can see a vortex-shaped barrier enveloping the entire central town of Konoha.
Gojo Yoru was no stranger to this barrier; it was the same barrier that Konoha used to monitor Kushina Uzumaki in the Minato Chronicles.
He hadn't expected the barrier to appear so quickly.
That's why Gojo Yoru sighed like that.
The chapter in the original manga where Kushina Uzumaki is rescued by Minato Namikaze has always been criticized and subject to conspiracy theories.
The reason is that Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was so easily kidnapped by the Cloud Ninja, who even left the border on foot.
Throughout the entire process, the huge mansion was completely deserted. The Cloud Ninja accurately located Kushina Uzumaki and left without being discovered by patrolling ninjas. There was no ANBU monitoring or protecting Kushina Uzumaki, who had become a Jinchuriki. Konoha also seemed to have no barrier. Only Minato Namikaze, who happened to be wandering outside that night, followed the clues left by Kushina Uzumaki.
Kushina Uzumaki, who was rescued by a hero, finally formed a bond with Konoha and was willing to live in the village.
In retrospect, this was indeed a scheme orchestrated by higher-ups.
Moreover, this method is exactly the same as when Hiruzen Sarutobi used Mizuki to set up a scheme at the beginning of the story, which deepened the bond between Iruka Umino and Naruto Uzumaki.
Clearly, the person behind the scenes was the Third Hokage.
This discovery, while ironic for Gojo Yoru, also brought him complete relief.
Minato Namikaze was able to become a pawn in that scheme because of his affection for Kushina Uzumaki, his powerful talent, and his status as Jiraiya's disciple.
Now, with Orochimaru's investment, Gojo Yoru, who is equally talented, also has the potential to become that pawn.
With several years of build-up and the deliberate creation of an unsociable character, Gojo Yoru and Uzumaki Kushina develop feelings for each other, which is equivalent to mutual redemption. I believe Hiruzen Sarutobi would be even more pleased to see this.
"It's all set. Now it's time to put on a show." Gojo Yoru's lips curled into a slight smile, then he stood up and vanished in an instant.
