Looking at the Root ninja who had already been blown into mincemeat, Uzumaki Jun nodded with satisfaction.
Magnet Release – Small Black Room Technique, plus explosive tags, the effect was awesome!!
The only trouble was secretly trapping him and stuffing explosive tags inside. This was also why he had kept his Magnet Release hidden so deeply, because...
Haha!!
So how could one wander the world without some hidden cards??
Moreover, he was a member of the Uzumaki Clan. His head of smooth red hair proved he was not of mixed blood, so no one would think he could use the signature technique of Sunagakure. This gave him an opportunity.
And indeed, that Root ninja must have been completely stunned when he saw Magnet Release. He probably even thought the Daimyo of Uzushiogakure had been cuckolded.
Sensing the commotion not far away, Uzumaki Jun estimated that the Konoha-nin would arrive soon. He glanced at the Uzu-nin lying among the masked ninja – Uzumaki Kouta.
Uzumaki Jun sighed, walked to his side, and murmured, "I will take care of your family for you."
Then he directly sealed him into a scroll to bring back to his family later...
Death was the norm in the shinobi world.
At this moment...
"Swish! Swish!"
The Konoha-nin and Uzu-nin had arrived.
Looking at the pile of Konoha masked ninja on the ground, Uzumaki Kai respectfully said, "Lord Jun!!"
As expected...
A few jounin were nothing to Lord Jun!
Though the power of that jutsu just now was a bit too much!!
On the other hand, Nara Shikazo had a pained expression. Damn it, there were actually 14 jounin. How much money would that cost? He definitely had to get Danzo to reimburse this. If he didn't pay, who would? And it seemed the Hokage would have to step in for this matter...
He'd have to write another report later.
Nara Shikazo rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Uzumaki Jun nodded at the Uzu-nin, then turned to the Konoha-nin with dark expressions and said with narrowed eyes, "It seems the security in your Land of Fire isn't very good."
"..."
...
Uzumaki Jun ignored the large-scale corpse retrieval operation. After Nara Shikazo arrived with his team, he threw out a sarcastic remark and left with Kai and Mashin, because...
If he didn't leave, the Konoha-nin might go crazy.
As for the bounty...
He hadn't expected Kai to be so cheeky, killing people and then asking their comrades for money!!
Nara Shikazo probably wanted to slap himself for running his mouth...
Of course, none of this concerned them. Right now, Uzushiogakure had only one goal: recruiting refugees. As for Uzumaki Jun...
He planned to stay for a few more days. After the first batch was sent to Uzushiogakure, if nothing happened, he would prepare to go to Konoha.
As for whether Danzo would send more people...
It depended on whether the Hokage could make Danzo pay this time. If it hurt his wallet enough, Danzo probably wouldn't dare act recklessly again.
After all, this was all money!!
You could say this bounty was an unexpected gain...
Uzumaki Jun sighed inwardly. Nara Shikazo was truly an international friend of Uzushiogakure!
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he took Uzumaki Kai and Uzumaki Mashin back to the relief point. He patted Mashin's shoulder. It seemed he was feeling down because of his friend's death.
A shinobi shouldn't be swayed by temporary emotions!
This was a phrase that spread like wildfire in Konoha after the father of the "Copy Ninja" died. At that time, the Copy Ninja would become a shinobi who prioritized missions over comrades, and then...
Hiruzen Sarutobi would sigh and ask Minato to take care of him, teaching him the true meaning of being a shinobi: valuing comrades...
Konoha really said whatever they wanted!!
Of course, none of this concerned Uzushiogakure. As for the so-called Will of Fire...
To Uzumaki Jun, it was all nonsense. Only those who hadn't received proper education would believe it. If it were true, why didn't Hiruzen step in when Minato was about to die with the Nine-Tails, saying, "You're still young, let this old man do it instead!!"
Was it because Minato was the Hokage that he counted as the younger generation? Or did not being Hokage mean you could ignore the younger generation of the village...
So...
That old man was really rotten!!
As for what Uzushiogakure's core ideology would be in the future?
Of course, it would be the socialist core values!! What's the point of taking the socialist path without socialist core values??
"Recruited a few geniuses for Konoha?" Uzumaki Jun asked curiously. Had they really been out for so long without any rogue ninja, criminals, or bandits applying?
Impossible...
These were chaotic times...
"Yes, we referred seven to Konoha. Two were genin, five were bandits!!"
"..."
Uzumaki Jun froze for a moment, then sighed inwardly. Once again, he had made a great contribution to peace in the Land of Fire.
With these scum gone, the Land of Fire would surely be much safer!
Since they still had to stay here for a while, they could take their time. Maybe they could clear out all the bandits and mountain thieves in this area?
Of course, if they didn't show up, Kai could pay them a visit and persuade them to turn over a new leaf, then...
Send them to Konoha.
Maintaining peace in the Land of Fire was Uzushiogakure's responsibility!
After all, the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha were allies...
As for whether future academy students would have no bandits or thieves to practice on...
What did that have to do with Uzushiogakure??
"Good job, keep it up!" Uzumaki Jun praised.
As for the Konoha-nin watching this scene with dark expressions...
What did it matter?
This wasn't the first time they'd done something like this. Konoha...
Would just have to get used to it!!
As for Nara Shikazo, why hadn't he returned yet?
Was he still collecting scraps for that Aburame Clan member?
...
Nara Shikazo frowned at the black powder on his fingers and muttered in confusion, "This is..."
A specialty of Sunagakure??
But why would it appear in the remains of a Root ninja...
"Could there be a Suna-nin here?"
Only a few Suna-nin possessed this Kekkei Genkai. How could they appear within the Land of Fire?
Then...
Who was it??
"Lord Shikazo, we've finished collecting," a Konoha-nin reported.
"Really? Did you collect all these scraps too?"
"We collected everything we could."
"Good, let's retreat!!"
For now, they should head back. Who knew what tricks the Uzu-nin would pull next? As for the rest...
Leave it to the professionals!!
...
"Magnet Release, Magnet Release!!" White Zetsu exclaimed in surprise. "This Uzumaki kid knows Magnet Release? Was the Daimyo of Uzushiogakure cuckolded? This is unbelievable!!"
"..."
Black Zetsu ignored the hysterical White Zetsu. He was also baffled.
Magnet Release??
Since when could an Uzumaki use this?
This wasn't scientific!!
Did this kid develop it himself, or...
Was the Daimyo of Uzushiogakure really cuckolded?
This...
Was even more believable than the first explanation!!
"Prepare to meet him," Black Zetsu said. "There might be surprises."
