章 42: What do you think happened on the day?
"Konoha won't help us."
"The other villages want us to surrender."
"They want all the knowledge we have and want us to become their slaves."
The six people talked about this, and seeing this, Naruto understood that he is watching the events that had happened in past.
"Enough!" The Old Man at the centre shouted as he looked at the others, and hearing him, everyone became silent and they looked at the Clan Leader.
"Instead of talking about these useless things, think of a way to come out of this mess. Ugh! I really don't understand why Konoha betrayed us, even when we only provided seals to them only. Even Mito isn't doing anything, and she had already lost the will as she looked at Senju Clan's situation. Tobirama really made a bad decision in choosing the Third Hokage."
They all looked at Clan Leader, who has now started to speak and then they all heard him sighing.
"Do you all have any ideas?"
"We will fight!"
"Yes, we have to show them we won't be killed, nor we will surrender."
"We will show them that we Uzumaki aren't someone they can mess around with."
Hearing all this, the Clan head held his head and said, "Fight? Yes, we can fight, but how long? 1 month? 2 month? Let's stretch it to one year. Do you think we have enough ninjas, rations, and other things that are required for war?"
They all became silent and then they saw Clan Leader taking out a scroll. "This scroll was passed to me by the previous clan head and he told me that this scroll has been passed in our clan for centuries. No one knows where it came from, and even after hundreds of years, no one has tried to open it."
They all looked at Clan Leader and he continued his words, "Previous Clan Head told me that only when you are in so a desperate situation, and it concerns the safety of the clan, you should drop the blood and open it."
"He also told me a poem, which I didn't understand, though I still remember the words he spoke."
"In shadows cast, a choice is made,
Drop the blood, a debt repaid.
Call the god, in whispers keen,
Live a life, where destinies convene.
Your people safe, in sheltered grace,
Yet for their lives, a sombre embrace.
Sacrificed for dreams anew,
A land untrod, a path pursued.
Ahead, a realm, uncharted, vast,
Only the price, in time, will last.
Upon this scroll, the words inscribed,
A tale of sacrifice, dreams described."
As Clan Leader finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him with different expressions on their face.
"Clan Leader, Are you going to put the blood on the scroll and open it?"
"Head, We don't what it is but hearing what you said, I am sure that you will have to pay a sacrifice for this."
"Yes, Head. We shouldn't do it. Instead of..."
"Stop! I have already decided it." Clan Head said as he looked at everyone.
"Even if I have to pay with my life to solve our current situation, I will do it. If something happens to me, Asashi will be in charge and you all will fight to death with the three villages, while you all will help a few members of the clan escape."
Saying this, Clan Leader bit his thumb and dropped his blood on the scroll. They saw the scroll absorbing the blood, and when Clan Leader opened the scroll, nothing happened, but as he had been holding the scroll in front of his face, nobody saw his eyes getting dulled.
Then, everyone in the room suddenly felt chills and creppy laughter rang in the room, making everyone stunned and afraid as they felt they were going to die the next moment.
"Huehuehuehuehue! Huehuehuehueheu! The price will be paid! Your death is accepted, The promise will be fulfilled, and you only have fifteen days. Hehehehehehe! Hehehehehehehe!" A voice said in the room, and hearing this, Clan Leader's eyes brightened and he said, "I understand."
He put the scroll at the side and stood up.
"Everyone follow me."
....
The Scene ended, and seeing all this, Naruto was too shocked to even speak anything.
"What the Fuck!" That's the only thing he could say as he remembered the laughter in the room, and then his expression changed as he felt he had heard of this laughter before.
'Shinigami! That was Shinigami's voice! What the hell? What the hell? I don't understand a single thing.'
He looked to the side and saw Kushika looking in the screen's direction with a melancholic look on her face.
"What happened afterwards?" Naruto asked as he looked at her.
'If Clan Leader did find a method, then why do I not see any other Uzumakis? I know that this world is different but I am sure not only me, no one found out other Uzumakis in the world.'
"Everything changed from the day. The Clan Leader wrote a lot of things for a few hours and he asked us to gather all the books, and seals in one place. He wrote a lot of seals for 5 days and he created two formations, with the first one being this Illusory World, and the second one..."
"Second One?"
"I will tell later. For now, I will tell you what all things happened."
"The Clan Leader asked us to gather all the ration, clothes, and the things we need, and all of them were stored in Storage Seals he made. The seals were just the size of a ruler but they could store many things."
"Not only scrolls, he asked all the young generations to gather with their parents in one side of the clan, while only a few older generations were allowed to go there."
"Because of this, many Uzumakis left the village, even though he had already told about the war and how the three villages wanted them. Some of them thought of surrendering and the Clan Leader allowed them.
"Huh?"
"Let me complete my words, Because of this, the whole Uzu was divided into two parts, though almost all elders were with the clan leader. No one knew why and what he was doing, but they all understood that it is because of the scroll he opened before."
"Finally the day of attack arrived, till then there were four types of Uzumaki in the villages, First, the ones who followed Clan Leader. Second, the ones who wanted to fight against the villages, Third, the ones who wanted to escape from the village, and not join any other village. At last, the Fourth one, the ones who had thought of surrendering and joining the village."
"What do you think happened on the day of the attack?" Kushika asked as she looked at Naruto, who had a curious look on his face.
