Bab 109: Chapter 109
These pieces of intelligence, not only include the forces behind the scenes targeting the Land of Whirlpools, but also include the Land of Whirlpools itself.
In Fujiwara Tetsuya's view, the Konoha high-ranking officials led by Sarutobi Hiruzen, clearly have already made a decision.
To abandon the Land of Whirlpools. To abandon the Uzumaki clan.
As for the reasons behind it, Fujiwara Tetsuya has not yet figured them out.
When it comes to matters involving the survival of a nation. Konoha's choice of stance won't be as simple as it appears on the surface.
As for the reason that Konoha is also scheming to obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, perhaps there is some truth to it.
But it may not be everything.
With Uzumaki Mito standing there, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others are willing to set aside their pride, the majority of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, to Konoha, are fundamentally not a secret.
'Politics, huh.'
Thinking of this, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh to himself. The Land of Whirlpools, geographically speaking, is located in the eastern part of the Land of Fire.
Since the founding of the Land of Whirlpools, under Uzumaki Ashina's leadership the Land of Whirlpools made great strides in development.
The prosperity of the Land of Whirlpools, besides accumulating a large amount of wealth also weakened the influence of the Land of Fire in the eastern coastal areas.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the high-ranking officials of the Land of Fire, the existence of the Land of Whirlpools, to some extent, has already become an obstacle to the development of the Land of Fire.
"Tetsuya Captain."
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya continued to ponder, behind him, a gentle voice came through.
He saw a middle-aged man, holding a nautical chart, stride over quickly.
"Uncle Watagami."
This man before him. Full name Uzumaki Watagami. If there is any connection between him and Fujiwara Tetsuya, it would probably be that Uzumaki Watagami is the father of Uzumaki Namihana.
Due to having poor ninja talent, after becoming a Genin for only a short time, he ultimately chose to give up the path of a ninja.
"Uncle Watagami. I've already said this before. We are good friends with Namihana and Heiji. In front of us. There's no need for you to use any honorifics. Just call us by our names."
Looking at the man before him. Fujiwara Tetsuya instantly came back to his senses, his gaze carrying a touch of warmth.
Counting from the day they arrived in the Land of Whirlpools, with the help of Uzumaki Watagami, they had already cleared out over ten squads lurking in the northern sea regions of the Land of Whirlpools.
Not only allowing Fujiwara Tetsuya to gain a large amount of killing points, but also enabling Squad Thirteen. To earn a significant amount of rewards from the Land of Whirlpools. Roughly calculated, about 1.6 million ryo or so.
"Apologies, Tetsuya, it's my fault for forgetting. Next time. Next time I'll definitely remember."
Rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. Uzumaki Watagami let out two dry laughs.
"It's like this. At the current speed, we will reach Whale Island in at most half an hour. I came over to remind you all. It's time to prepare for battle."
At this point, Uzumaki Watagami's tone paused slightly, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
As a member of the Uzumaki clan, watching the Land of Whirlpools fall into crisis, yet being powerless to help.
This feeling, was truly too painful.
"Uncle Watagami, don't worry. We've long been prepared."
Patting the Mist Marrow at his waist, Fujiwara Tetsuya displayed absolute confidence.
———
Whale Island.
Located in the northern sea regions of the Land of Whirlpools, slightly to the west.
Because whales often appeared near the island, over time, it came to be known as Whale Island.
At this moment, on the rarely populated Whale Island, a few simple wooden huts suddenly appeared.
Around the wooden huts, unfamiliar figures occasionally moved about.
"Koizumi."
"We've been here for five days already. When exactly are we heading to the Land of Whirlpools?"
In the corner by the wooden hut, two masked men were surrounding a man with a scarred face.
Their eyes occasionally flashing with a bloodthirsty gleam.
"Soon. Very soon. The adults above will send new instructions. Before then, what we need to do is conceal our whereabouts."
"You have to know, recently, the number of ninjas lost in the northern sea regions is not small."
While Koizumi was reassuring his men…
Fujiwara Tetsuya and Uchiha Mikoto, aboard a sea vessel, had already boldly appeared in the waters surrounding Whale Island. Or rather, Fujiwara Tetsuya had never intended to hide at all.
As a result, when Fujiwara Tetsuya and the other three stepped onto the shore.
There were already over ten fierce-looking ninjas waiting in front of them.
"They're Konoha ninjas."
When Koizumi and the others saw the forehead protectors on Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group of four.
Their expressions immediately shifted. Especially Koizumi. His gaze instantly darkened.
"One, two, three… fifteen… seventeen."
"Seventeen people, huh."
"Five Genin. Nine Chunin. Two elite Chunin. One Jonin."
"Seems like a big catch. Truly terrifying, huh."
While caressing the Mist Marrow at his waist with his left hand, Fujiwara Tetsuya's right hand counted them one by one, his eyes carrying a hint of amusement.
There was no need for Koizumi to remind them. The ninjas under his command, who had been through life-and-death situations with him, were already prepared for battle.
It seemed, as long as Koizumi gave the order, they would tear apart the enemies in front of them.
"Konoha brats. Which squad are you from?"
Compared to his hot-blooded subordinates, Koizumi, as the leader, was undoubtedly much calmer.
While preparing for battle, he was also probing for information on Fujiwara Tetsuya and his group of four.
