Chapter 98: The Birth of Sarutobi Asuma! Hunting Mission in Whirlpool Country!
About two days after Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru returned!
The exciting news finally came from the Sarutobi clan!
Konoha Third Hokage! Sarutobi Hiruzen's wife Sarutobi Biwako finally gave birth to her second son!
Name: Sarutobi Asuma!
Outside the Sarutobi clan territory!
Fujiwara Tetsuya was quietly looking back at the gate of the Sarutobi clan!
With most of Konoha's ninja clans! Ninjas in general!
On behalf of the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans, he also presented a small gift to the second son of the Third Hokage of Konoha!
With the birth of Asuma!
In the next one or two years!
Kakashi! Might Guy! Hong! A new generation of ninjas will be born!
"Is the wind finally going to pick up?"
Fujiwara Tetsuya's whispers echo in the wind!
When some sharp eyes glance over!
That thin figure had turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared on the spot!
...
After what happened on the Misty Island!
After Kaguya Ueyaru returns to the Misty Island again from Kirigakure!
The means of doing things are becoming more secretive and crazy!
Over the past year!
The casualties of Uzumaki clan ninjas are increasing!
To the extent that the Whirlpool Country had to tilt its share of the mission towards Konoha!
The Land of Whirlpools, the Northern Seas!
A sturdy sea vessel! Cutting through the waves!
On the ship, besides several helmsmen, there were only four figures standing at the bow!
These four people are Team 13 led by Fujiwara Tetsuya!
As for why I chose to come to a place like Whirlpool Country!
Of course it's because of the current Whirlpool Country!
It is the best choice to obtain kill points and mission rewards!
Look at the seabirds circling and dancing in the distance!
Fujiwara Tetsuya's eyes were filled with a hint of sigh!
The Uzumaki clan, who control a village and a country!
Finally stepping down from the altar!
The situation in the Whirlpool Country!
It's far more complicated than what outsiders see! Dangerous!
Today, the waters surrounding the Land of Whirlpools have been blocked by countless ninjas from different forces!
Ninjas from various ninja villages wearing vests! Wandering ninjas! Rebel ninjas! And bounty ninjas!
All kinds of Gyūki snake gods appeared!
Everyone hopes to tear off a piece of meat from the Uzumaki in the Land of Whirlpools!
And the reason for all this is!
The one from the Uzumaki clan! The supreme ruler!
The only Kage-level strongman in the Whirlpool Country!
Uzumaki Ashina!
After a long time and countless battles!
The Uzumaki clan leader's body finally couldn't take it anymore!

According to the information he accidentally obtained from Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Heiji!
Maybe it just happened in the last few months!
The situation in the Whirlpool Country!
Does Konoha know?
Of course I know!
Sarutobi Hiruzen! Shimura Danzō! Utatane Koharu! Mitokado HomuraThese trees are tall!
Know it much more clearly than anyone else!
Like Team 13! The Konoha Shinobi team on a mission in the Land of Whirlpools!
In addition to completing the commission from the Whirlpool Country!
It also shoulders another mission!
That is to collect information about the current situation in the Whirlpool Country!
This information not only includes the behind-the-scenes forces targeting the Whirlpool Country!
It also includes the Whirlpool Country itself!
In the view of Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Konoha's high-ranking officials, led by Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Obviously the decision has been made!
Abandon the Land of Whirlpools! Abandon the Uzumaki Clan!
As for the reasons behind it!
Fujiwara Tetsuya hasn't figured it out yet!
A matter involving the survival of a country! Konoha's choice of position!
But it's not as simple as it seems!
As for the reason that Konoha also wanted to seal the Uzumaki clan!
Maybe there is some truth to that!
But that's not necessarily all!
There is Uzumaki Mito standing there!
As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others are willing to lose face!
Most of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan! For Konoha!
It's no secret at all!
Politics?
Thinking of this! Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh!
The Land of Whirlpools! Geographically speaking! It is located in the eastern part of the Land of Fire!
Since the founding of the Whirlpool Country!
Under the leadership of Uzumaki Ashina!
The Whirlpool Country has made great progress!
The prosperity of the Whirlpool Country is not only due to the accumulation of a large amount of wealth!
It also weakened the influence of the Fire Nation in the eastern marginal waters!
Maybe! From the perspective of the Fire Nation Daimyo and the Fire Nation's high-ranking officials!
The existence of the Whirlpool Country! In a sense, it has become an obstacle to the development of the Fire Country!
...
"Captain Tetsuya!"
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya continued to ponder!
A gentle voice came from behind!
I saw a middle-aged man walking towards me quickly with a nautical chart in his hand!
"Uncle Watarishin!"
The man in front of me! His full name is Uzumaki Watari!
If there is any connection with Fujiwara Tetsuya!

Probably, Uzumaki Watari is the father of Uzumaki Meika!
Because of his poor ninja talent, shortly after becoming a Genin!
Or I chose to give up the path of being a ninja!
"Uncle Watari! I've told you before! We are good friends with Naka and Heiji!"
"In front of us! There's absolutely no need for you to use any honorifics!"
"Just call us by our names!"
Looking at the man in front of him! Fujiwara Tetsuya suddenly came back to his senses, with a little gentleness in his eyes!
Starting from the day I arrived at the Land of Whirlpools!
With the help of Uzumaki Watari!
They have already cleared out more than a dozen teams entrenched in the northern waters of the Whirlpool Country!
Not only did Fujiwara Tetsuya gain a lot of kill points!
It also allowed Team 13 to obtain a large amount of rewards from the Whirlpool Country!
Roughly speaking, it's about 1.6 million taels!
"Sorry Tetsuya!"
"Uncle forgot!"
"Next time! I definitely won't do it again next time!"
Touching the back of his head in embarrassment! Uzumaki Watanabe laughed dryly twice!
"That's it!"
"At this rate, we will reach Bitter Whale Island in half an hour at most!"
"I came here to warn you! It's time to prepare for battle!"
Speaking of which!
Uzumaki Toshinori's tone paused for a moment, and some complicated emotions flashed in his eyes!
As a member of the Uzumaki tribe!
Watch as the Whirlpool Country falls into crisis!
And I can't do anything!
This feeling! It's really too painful!
"Uncle Du Shen, don't worry!"
"We've been prepared for this!"
Patting the Kirimaru on his waist, Fujiwara Tetsuya showed full confidence!
...
Bitter Whale Island!
Located west of the northern waters of the Land of Whirlpools!
Because whales often appear near the island!
Over time, it was called the Bitter Whale Island!
At this moment! A few simple wooden houses suddenly appeared on the sparsely populated Bitter Whale Island!
From time to time, some strange figures appeared around the wooden house.
"Koizumi!"
"We have been here for five days! When are we going to the Land of Whirlpools?"
"Brothers down there! Can't wait any longer!"
In the corner next to the wooden house!
Two masked men are surrounding a man with a scar on his face!
From time to time, a hint of bloodthirstiness flashed in his eyes!
"It's almost done! Let the brothers down there bear with it for a while! Five days at most! Three days at least!"
"The adults above will send new instructions!"
"Until then! All we have to do is hide our tracks!"
"You know! There have been quite a few ninjas killed in the northern seas recently!"
