There is no shortage of people in this world who imitate crimes and like to "follow the trend", so even if Hanyu is worrying too much, it would be better for the Uzumaki clan to complete the relocation plan as soon as possible.
Safety is the top priority, so he will go to the Land of Whirlpools to coordinate this matter next.
The Jonin Exam ended with a perfect result that made Hanyu very satisfied. The four ninjas belonging to the Shadow Stream, including Sakumo, passed without any dispute.
This is actually something that is understandable, as the exam requires everyone to fight one against seven in order to pass, and the Shadow Ninjas completed the task of fighting one against seven beautifully.
After all, letting Hatake and the three Uzumakis fight other Chunins is actually a bit bullying... Although the number of opponents is larger, for a four-member team with control and output, strength beyond the average level and skilled cooperation, victory is almost just a matter of time.
The team passed the test on time, which was the effect of Sakumo's fighting style - if the opponents were all real enemies, then they would definitely be able to "annihilate" them faster. However, if the opponents were just ninjas from the same village, the exam was not a war, so Hatake's efficiency was reduced.
After all, for some ninjas, making their opponents incapable of movement is more complicated and time-consuming than killing them directly.
Although there are also many elite opponents, the Sharingan below three magatama is actually not qualified to be called Sharingan; as for the Hyuga, who are famous for their Byakugan and gentle fist, they are of the same sex restraint. It is difficult for them to match the talented Hatake Sakumo in close combat.
After the battle with Hanzo, Sakumo's strength has improved rapidly, and now it can really be said that "Konoha's White Fang has shown its might."
On the second day after the Jonin Exam, even Sakumo had not recovered from the exhaustion of the exam, and Hanyu had already taken him on a journey to the Land of Whirlpools... There was no exploitation of labor here, but all ninjas had to adapt to exhausting combat situations.
Just like programmers working overtime, everything is common.
Moreover, Sakumo is a person who has experienced the Ninja World War.
The affairs of the Shadow Stream were temporarily entrusted to Uzumaki Shiko, and shortly before Hanyu left, the news had already been transmitted to the Land of Whirlpools through a faster channel.
One day later, Hanyu's two-man team arrived at the Uzumaki Country. After they entered the Uzumaki village, they soon met the Uzumaki clan leader.
Compared to the last time Hanyu came here, the village seemed more desolate, with fewer people and more dilapidated buildings. This situation would naturally make the whirlpools who had been living here feel uncomfortable, but for Hanyu this was actually a good thing, as it showed that the migration plan had been being implemented step by step.
"Hanyu, we have received news about what happened in the Land of Fields. Tokiya and Miyabi..."
The old man, the chief of the Uzumaki clan, has already received the relevant information passed on by Konoha, and his reaction was like this... perhaps it should be called "the rabbit dies and the fox mourns."
This is the difference between the big ninja villages and the small ninja villages. When Konoha received the information that the Tiannin Village was destroyed , its first reaction was to investigate the cause and effect, while Uzumaki's reaction was to mourn the death of the rabbit.
Because the people of Konoha knew that such a village destruction would never happen to them (?), but for the Uzumaki clan, since the Tsuchiya Village could be destroyed, then there is a possibility that their own village could also be destroyed.
"Since that has happened, considering our own safety, if Konoha has no objections, then I think it's time for us to abandon this place and complete the relocation plan as quickly as possible."
The clan leader tapped the ground lightly with the walking stick in his hand and lowered his eyes as he spoke this... Abandoning one's hometown, this feeling is something only those who have experienced it know.
Hanyu nodded. He could feel the emotions of the old man, but now was not the time to dwell on such sentimental feelings.
"Hokage-sama has made it clear that he will fully cooperate with our migration plan. As long as the Uzumaki people cross the sea, Konoha will meet them at the coast and send Anbu ninjas to escort everyone along the way until they enter the village.
At the same time, he also promised to invest funds to build a settlement for the Uzumaki clan in Konoha, so there is no need to worry about the future. Konoha is no different from the Land of Whirlpools... Lord Uzumaki Mito is still here. "
Ah, the point of that last sentence.
It is only natural that the Hokage would invest money in Uzumaki's reconstruction in Konoha, as the money was originally obtained by Uzumaki. The Hokage is the ruler of Konoha, so he is naturally qualified to spend it at will. However, if he does not give a penny to Uzumaki after getting the money, then the moral and sociological level of the Sandaime needs to be improved.
Fortunately , the Third Hokage only lacks strength, not brains, and maybe his emotional intelligence is the highest among all the Hokage, who can make the First and Second Hokage look like trash in comparison.
After all, the first generation suffered from mild cerebral palsy, the second generation was scheming and scheming, and the third generation... only the third generation was normal, so he could put himself in their shoes and empathize with them. He could understand the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of ordinary people.
The Uzumaki clan leader was very pleased with Konoha's next arrangements, which showed that the friendship between the Uzumaki and the Senju, and between the Uzumaki Country and Konoha was still there... The decision to move to Konoha was not a wrong one.
"After the continuous relocation in the past few years, the number of people left is less than 30%, and I plan to let these 30% leave within a week.
From then on, the Uzumaki clan's village became history."
The patriarch still showed reluctance, but this did not prevent him from being decisive in making decisions.
"Well, this is the best, but... I hope the guys around us don't react too much," said Hanyu.
The scattered migrations before Uzumaki were fine, but if such a large-scale movement was carried out at one time, it would definitely not be hidden from the eyes of those who were interested - among the small ninja villages, villages like Tiannin Village that were not valued by big countries were one type, while Amegakure and Uzumaki were another type. They were both the kind of villages that were always being watched.
Hearing what Hanyu said, the tribe leader smiled, and he switched the cane from one hand to the other, and stroked his gray beard again, and this time he said, "Hanyu, we are the whirlpool. When we retreat, it doesn't mean that we will forget how to move forward in an instant."
"…"
Hanyu was speechless. As long as you understand and are prepared, that's fine.
…
At the same time that Hanyu arrived in the Land of Whirlpools, the final evacuation of the Uzumaki clan began, and the entire village was mobilized.
Considering the urgency of the matter, everyone has tried to reduce their luggage as much as possible and only carry the most important things with them, however... it is still a little overweight.
Moving is always going to be overweight.
During the whirlpool's retreat, the most troublesome problem was actually the boat... Not everyone can run wildly on the sea like a ninja. If an ordinary person treads water like that, he will definitely sink to the bottom.
The number of ordinary people far exceeds the number of ninjas , so the clan leader allowed seven days for the evacuation of these few hundred people.
That night, Hanyu and Sakumo stood under a lighthouse by the sea, watching the lights of the Uzumaki village light up. One by one, the Uzumaki people walked out of the village and went to the beach, stepped onto the pier, boarded the boat, and then paddled towards the dark sea.
Fortunately, on the other side of the dark sea, there is still a sunny land.
"Hanyu, aren't you worried that villages like Kirigakure will take targeted actions against this side? Will they just let the Uzumaki clan leave so easily?" Hatake Sakumo suddenly asked Hanyu.
The vortex is a special force. If it can be kept under close watch, then perhaps everyone can live in peace. But if it tries to slip away, considering the threat posed by this force, it is impossible for a third party to ignore it under normal circumstances.
But faced with this question, Hanyu just smiled. There was no worry and tension on his face as Hatake imagined.
He only replied, "Sakumo, perhaps you don't understand, but in fact, in the whole of Europe, besides Lord Uzumaki Mito, there are only two kinds of ninjas."
"Two? Which two?"
"One is the ninja who knows that he is a loser; the other is the ninja who doesn't know that he is a loser and thinks he is awesome, but in fact he is a loser."
This kind of evaluation made Sakumo thoughtful. He had never seen Uzumaki Mito's strength, but Hanyu meant that she was a powerful ninja beyond the standards, and the rest were weak.
Hanyu even classified himself as a weakling. Since everyone is a loser, why not fight each other? Who is afraid of whom?
"Europe?"
But then, Sakumo realized that Hanyu seemed to have said a very unfamiliar word.
"Well, I mean the entire ninja world. The ninja world."
Hanyu hurriedly explained, thinking to himself why would I say what was in my heart.
Sorry, it's just a habitual Confucianism. It's really just a habit.
