"I thought it was someone else." Ameyuri Ringo carried a large hammer in his hand and held a broadsword in his right hand, looking at a sharp-toothed man and an orange-haired fat man walking past, saying flatly, "So it's you two traitors!" He glanced at the kitchen knife he had thrown on the ground, "Tsk tsk, what's wrong?"
"Where are the Executioner's Blade and Samehada?"
"Playing with kitchen knives now."
He spat disdainfully on the ground...
"Did your new master not return your weapons?"
"Eh..." Hoshigaki Fuguki fell silent for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "You wouldn't understand!!"
The Executioner's Blade was at the slaughterhouse, as for Samehada...
He had no idea where it was?
It might have been dissected for all he knew, after all, Samehada was a rare creature!
"We are no longer ninjas."
"Obviously." Ameyuri Ringo sneered, "What village would let traitorous ninjas remain as ninjas?"
He guessed these two were probably starving one meal and full the next in the Land of Whirlpools, constantly mocked by others too!
But...
They could never return!
"Traitorous ninjas are not tolerated by any village. Instead of hiding away quietly somewhere, you dare show yourselves."
"Ah!" Hoshigaki Fuguki sighed and said, "You might not believe it, but actually, we two are doing quite well."
What's so good about being a ninja?
Now they are the big boss and second boss of Shop 17, Ninja Sword Grilled Fish, on the commercial street...
After all these years, they've bought two houses, one shop, and two cars.
And even Jūzō has gotten married and had children.
If it weren't for being short-handed...
They would have opened branches, established a group, built a brand, and reached the peak of life.
However...
Ameyuri Ringo raised his ninja sword, looking calmly at Hoshigaki Fuguki and the others, saying, "Leave this place. Considering our past camaraderie as members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, I'll let you go today."
Bullshit!!
Without even their ninja swords, not wearing ninja vests, and yet claiming to be doing well??
Looking at Pakkun Jūzō wearing slippers...
He was convinced...
These two were probably too poor to afford decent clothes!!
"Tsk tsk!" Hoshigaki Fuguki looked disdainfully at Ameyuri Ringo and said, "Such a big tone!!"
Just as he was about to mock them...
"Stop arguing, let's fight!" Pakkun Jūzō frowned impatiently and said, "Hurry up and finish this, I still have to open the shop!"
It's been closed for several days!
And he hasn't seen his wife and children for days either, he's really frustrated right now!
After all, he still needs to save up for his son's marriage fund!
Otherwise...
How will the Pakkun family prosper??
Without another word, he charged forward.
"..."
Come on, you don't even have a ninja sword in your hand!
Hoshigaki Fuguki looked speechlessly at Pakkun Jūzō charging forward. You don't even have a kitchen knife in your hand, what are you charging for?
Isn't trash talk better?
Stall for time, wait until others finish, then come help us, wouldn't that be better?
Ah——!!
After being in business for so many years, why is your brain still so stubborn?
You're already a father now.
So...
Why hasn't someone as smart and gentle as me found a girlfriend yet??
Hoshigaki Fuguki sighed inwardly...
Now he could only charge towards another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen...
Toward Nuibari Zakuro.
These two here have the strongest destructive power!
...
He originally intended to take action.
But when he saw the situation wasn't too bad, Uzumaki Jun stopped.
War always means death.
As for why...
He wasn't taking action himself??
If everything relied on him, why did he establish an army in the first place?
Why set up defenses across the country?
Why not just push through and unify the ninja world in one go?
But then what?
Relying solely on this small number of people in the Land of Whirlpools to maintain order?
Don't dream!
The seeds of disaster would eventually be sown. If he could live forever, be invincible in the universe, and make the Ōtsutsuki clan call him daddy, that would be one thing, but...
What if something unexpected happened?
Would he stay forever in the Land of Whirlpools, acting as its guardian? And just because he was afraid of people dying, should a country not train its troops?
If they don't train troops this time, next time, or the time after that, then what about in the future?
Where would the veterans come from?
Ninjas who have never seen blood...
Tsk tsk!
Are just a bunch of trash!!
And when everyone becomes dependent on you, but one day you suddenly disappear?
He would absolutely be cursed like a dog!!
Other villages are at war, undergoing brutal training, while the Land of Whirlpools is full of new recruits...
The Land of Whirlpools would be doomed!!
Going on like this, how could any strong individuals possibly emerge?
How could Shijō possibly break through?
So...
Promoting the development of the Land of Whirlpools within a controllable range of danger is Uzumaki Jun's goal.
Otherwise...
Why not just push through, kill everyone in the ninja world, and leave the Land of Whirlpools to thrive and multiply?
Then...
One day if he really disappeared, wouldn't civil war break out again within the country??
So, although it is cruel...
Isn't this the meaning of soldiers protecting their homeland?
The Land of Whirlpools' military is voluntary. When they joined the army, they were already prepared for this.
As long as the soldiers are still standing, they won't let a single enemy through!
As for himself...
He cannot protect the Land of Whirlpools forever. He will gradually perfect all rules and regulations so that even after he and the ninja world are gone from the Land of Whirlpools...
It can still develop harmoniously and stably!
So, now...
It's time to deal with the Mizukage matter!
Uzumaki Jun narrowed his eyes looking at the approaching fleet of Kirigakure...
War means death!
Seeing so many people from the Land of Whirlpools fall, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.
But...
As long as other villages suffer even more deaths, his mood will improve a bit.
...
Northern War Zone.
Even the war at Kirigakure has begun.
Over here...
Why is the fleet from the Land of Lightning still not visible?
"The Land of Fire side should be over." Yahiko frowned, looking in the direction of the Land of Lightning, puzzled, "What exactly is Kumogakure trying to do?"
Are they all seasick??
Otherwise, why haven't any ninjas been seen at this point?
Just as Yahiko was deep in thought...
"Yahiko, Nagato." Konan walked over and greeted them, "How's the situation here?"
Why is it so quiet?
"Still no sign." Yahiko shook his head and said, "What about the three great villages?"
"It's over." Upon hearing Yahiko's words, Konan immediately showed an excited expression, "Lord Jun is truly amazing."
"He defeated the Kazekage, captured one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, but in the end..."
"That big-nosed old man got away."
Konan sighed regretfully...
"Apparently, it was because the eastern battlefield had problems, otherwise, that big nose definitely wouldn't have escaped!"
"Is that so..." Yahiko nodded and said, "It's about to end then!"
It's just Kumogakure...
What are they doing??
"Where is Brother Jun?" Nagato yawned and said, "Where did he go?"
"He went to support the east." Konan said, "I believe once Lord Jun arrives, that side should end soon."
Lord Jun is a powerhouse capable of annihilating two Kage and one Kage representative alone!
It's just...
Why is it still so quiet over here after all this time??
