Seven days was the upper limit of the evacuation time given by the Uzumaki clan leader, and the Uzumaki clan was working day and night to leave the Uzumaki Country, so by the fourth day, most people had already left.
The sea distance between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire is limited. Even with an ordinary boat, it would only take half a day at the slowest to reach the other side. If there are ninjas guarding along the way, there will be no problem with this journey.
So far, everything has been going very smoothly.
At this time, even if the nearest big country wanted to take any targeted actions against the whirlpool, it was actually too late. As the personnel were evacuated, Hanyu's mood also relaxed a little.
These days, he and Hatake have been following the Uzumaki clan leader, patrolling between the coast and the village.
After the Uzumaki clan leaves, ordinary residents scattered in other places on this small island country can choose to settle in the Fire Country, or they can continue to live here... In fact, after the Uzumaki clan is gone, the safety level for other ordinary people in this country has actually increased a lot.
If ninjas were mixed with ordinary people, then when a fight broke out, the ninjas would definitely not care about accidental injuries. But when a group of ordinary people were living peacefully in an ordinary town, except for a few psychopaths, no ninja would deliberately massacre civilians.
On the evening of the fourth day
He looked up at the sky and saw a tiny black dot shuttling through the clouds. Its shape kept getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision, and in the blink of an eye it appeared in front of everyone.
It was a falcon.
Upon seeing this, Hanyu immediately raised his arms, and then the falcon circled above his head for several times before slowly descending.
A pair of pitch-black claws with sharp barbs stepped on Hanyu's upper arm.
"It's news from Konoha..." Hanyu explained as he untied the letter tied to one of Falcon's feet with one hand. After confirming that there was no problem with the chakra mark and sealing on it, he immediately unfolded the letter.
Hanyu only glanced at it and immediately translated the secret letter written in code. "Oh, it's the investigation team sent by Konoha to the Land of Rice that has found the result. The matter of the destruction of the Tiannin Village has been concluded... It seems to be done by Sunagakure."
"Sunagakure?" The Uzumaki clan leader asked back, not sure whether he was confused or surprised.
"It's not certain, it's just a guess based on the clues left at the scene, so I can only say it's 'possible' that it's Sunagakure.
After all, when Konoha conducted the investigation, the incident had happened a long time ago, and the scene had been burned and destroyed. However, according to the little clues we found, it seems that the other party only sent out one or two people to destroy a small ninja village. "
Hanyu explained that the information he received did not contain any affirmative words, and the identity of the murderer was just a directional guess.
However, if it is really the Sand Village, then it does have the ability to destroy a small ninja village silently with only one or two people - whether it is Chiyo who is good at using poison, or the magnetic ninja who has just become the Kazekage, they are all particularly good at this kind of one-on-a-hundred annihilation battle.
If you destroy the scene after the deed is done, no one will ever know about it.
As for the reason why the Sand Village attacked the small ninja village, we can find it out eventually...
Either they want to eliminate that small competitor, or it's because... Sand Village is also poor.
And in a sense, Sand Village is even poorer than Amegakure.
At least the Rain Country has a good geographical environment and good products. There are fish in the rivers, beasts in the mountains, forests, grasslands and farmlands. Even if the climate is rainy and sunny, if handled properly, such weather will at most lead to crop failure, but it will definitely not lead to a total loss of production.
But what about the windy country of the desert? Can we expect there to be sand sharks there?
Peace is the general trend, but regional conflicts have never been absent. From this perspective, it seems that future Ninja World Wars are inevitable, and if there is a Second Ninja World War, there will be a Third Ninja World War.
Because in essence these two wars were actually one war, it's just that everyone took a break in between because they were tired.
Hanyu put the secret letter away, and couldn't help but start to worry about the situation in the ninja world in the next few years... It seemed that the small ninja villages were unable to resist the large ninja villages, but who could have thought that the Second Ninja World War would unfold and end in that way.
The Uzumaki clan leader was about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed, and he immediately ordered the people around him, "Go and inform the last group of people to abandon all supplies and evacuate the village immediately.
Except for the special operations team that was organized earlier, no one else should be left behind."
Then he turned to Hanyu and said, "Get ready to fight, Hanyu."
It seems that what everyone has been worried about is about to happen.
Hanyu's expression also became serious. "At this time, the timing is too late. What's the point of those people taking hostile actions?"
It's understandable that someone would try to stop Uzumaki from leaving, but it should have happened earlier. By now, the first group of Uzumaki clan members who were evacuating might have already arrived in Konoha, and the Uzumaki village was almost emptied. If they came to mess things up at this time? They would just be picking up scraps.
This no longer makes any sense to Hanyu.
The clan leader shook his head. "They also need to gather their forces. To do something, you have to prepare in advance. And judging from the feedback we got from the surveillance barrier, given the scale of their invasion, they will definitely hunt us down all the way, even at the cost of going deep into the Fire Country."
It would definitely take some time from receiving the news of Uzumaki's relocation to gathering people to participate in the killing operation. After all, no one would think that destroying Uzumaki would be as easy as destroying the Tiannin Village.
And there is another point. When preparing to destroy the Uzumaki, the villages will never send their Jinchūriki to participate in such a battle, nor will they let the Kage lead the action... because if the opponent is an Uzumaki, even if they are well prepared, they may still fail miserably.
Obviously, the sudden large-scale departure of the Uzumaki clan has exacerbated certain things. Perhaps someone has been planning to take action against the Uzumaki a long time ago, and now this plan has been forced to be brought forward.
"The scale of the invasion from the west is between 50 and 60 people, and they are now destroying the protective barrier outside the village." The Uzumaki clan leader continued, and it was obvious that his perception ability had not weakened due to aging.
Meanwhile, some Uzumaki ninjas began to gather around him, while more began to abandon everything and evacuate the village as quickly as possible as ordered.
"Do we need to stop the enemy's actions? And... ask for help from Konoha." Hanyu said.
"Let them destroy the barrier. We won't need it in the future anyway. As for asking for help... we don't need it for now." Then, as if afraid that Hanyu didn't understand , the clan leader added, "This is probably the last war that Uzumaki will fight in the name of Uzumaki."
I'm not being pretentious or aloof, because this is indeed the last battle that Uzumaki is fighting for himself.
So Hanyu nodded and just stayed where he was.
The whirlpool barrier bought enough time for the final evacuation. The enemy's sword was clearly unsheathed, but it was instantly plunged into the quagmire.
Finally, when the enemies invaded the center of the village, there were only 26 (24+2) ninjas waiting there.
One side came prepared, while the other side was well-rested, so the scene fell into silence for a while.
"Everyone has his own principles and ideas. If there is no conflict of interest between people, they should not interfere with each other. So, isn't it just right for us to be well?"
Only Hanyu's voice could be heard as the night gradually darkened.
However, what he said was not correct, because in the eyes of the invaders, Uzumaki's migration to Konoha was "harmful" to them, so how could it be considered that there were no benefits or harms?
However, the enemy had no reason to respond to Hanyu's words, and the Uzumakis did not want to hear any response. They saw the 24 ninjas forming hand seals at the same time and completing them at the same time in an instant .
Then, red light curtains rose from all sides of the village, completely isolating this small space.
Those outside the barrier can leave at their leisure, but those inside the barrier...
You can never come and go freely in a whirlpool, and the whirlpool barriers that the enemy can destroy are all those that they think there is no need to protect.
Although the number of people casting the spell and the method of casting the spell were obviously different from what he remembered, Hanyu looked at the dim red light curtain half hidden in the night in the distance... No matter how he looked at it, this barrier was very similar to the one called the "Four Red Yang Formation".
Therefore, this isolated space must be a tomb, and only one party can walk out alive.
However... the ratio of our numbers to the enemy is close to 3:1. The enemy is extremely strong and I am extremely weak, so Hanyu is a little scared. What should I do?
