Uzumaki Ashina glanced at Orochimaru indifferently. "Rekito, let go. It's a bit rude to our guests who have come from afar."
Uzumaki Rekito nodded. "I was too impulsive."
"Don't do it again next time." Uzumaki Ashina brushed over the matter lightly.
Jiraiya clenched his fists until they cracked, his eyes full of defiance, but no one cared about the thoughts of a minor character like him.
Tsunade took a deep breath. "This seems a bit out of order. After all, this was something you discussed with the Hokage." Tsunade emphasized the word "Hokage" twice, as if reminding Uzumaki Ashina that they were not the ones in charge, but the Hokage.
"Hmph!" Snorting coldly, Uzumaki Ashina stood up confidently. "Our Uzumaki Clan is facing a great disaster. He came to ask for benefits, and we couldn't resist.
But now the tables have turned. As for the original agreement, even if the Hokage comes himself, I don't intend to honor it."
Uzumaki Ashina perfectly displayed an attitude of disregarding both the Hokage and Konoha, almost saying that they were all people selling their heads with a price tag.
Tsunade gritted her teeth. "Are you trying to bully Konoha thinking we have no one?
Think clearly about the price of breaking your promise."
Regardless of whether Tsunade had any kinship with the Uzumaki Clan, both sides now represented the face of two major powers, so neither could take a step back.
"Hahahahaha!!" Uzumaki Ashina laughed towards the sky, then sighed with emotion. "So you're saying you're the good guys, we're the bad guys, and I'm the biggest villain.
As for the price? I don't care how heavy the price is."
"Let me tell you." Uzumaki Ashina stepped down from his seat and came to Tsunade. "Whether you send troops or assassins, I'll be waiting for you right here.
Waiting for you to chop off this head of mine."
"You..." Tsunade was rendered speechless by Uzumaki Ashina's words. People were already prepared for war, so what else could she say?
The two looked at each other, one with anger in her eyes, the other with contempt. The atmosphere instantly became incredibly heavy.
"Phew!"
Tsunade exhaled a long breath and nodded gently. "Fine, fine, you win. Let's go!"
After speaking, she turned to leave. She had no intention of continuing the mission. In this situation, any fool would know that the mission had absolutely failed.
Although Orochimaru wanted to stay and investigate the cause, the atmosphere was clearly no longer suitable for staying.
Jiraiya was full of anger, but he knew that starting a fight on someone else's turf would only disadvantage him, so he didn't plan to do anything.
Just as the three turned to leave, Milim, who was sitting in the highest seat, suddenly spoke.
"Umu, those who come from afar are guests. Is it not against etiquette to let guests leave without even entertaining them?"
Hearing the meaning in Milim's words, Tsunade and the others instantly realized that things were bad. This clearly meant they were going to be kept here!
At the same time, several Uzumaki clansmen had already blocked the door, clearly meaning not to let them go.
"Patriarch Uzumaki, what are you trying to do?" Tsunade's muscles instantly tensed up, ready for battle at any time.
Orochimaru and Jiraiya stood back to back, kunai already in their hands!
"Didn't you hear what Lady Milim said? We're here to entertain guests." Uzumaki Ashina's tone was calm, as if he really intended to entertain guests.
Meanwhile, the Uzumaki clansmen at the door slowly approached Tsunade and the others.
"Are you really not afraid of Konoha sending troops? By then, the Land of Whirlpools won't be facing four villages, but all the villages." Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, Tsunade's words seemed to lack confidence.
"You asked another stupid question." Adamantine Sealing Chains emerged from behind Uzumaki Ashina, aiming at Tsunade and the others. "I've already said it before. No matter how many people you send, we of the Uzumaki Clan will take them on."
As his voice fell, the Adamantine Sealing Chains shot out violently. At the same time, sealing runes spread beneath their feet.
However, Tsunade and the others reacted quickly. Tsunade smashed her fist onto the floor, instantly creating a large hole.
The three of them jumped directly into the hole.
Watching their movements, which seemed as slow as snails, a smile curled up on Uzumaki Ashina's lips.
As expected of the power granted by Lady Milim. Now, whether it's my physical fitness or my Kekkei Genkai, they far surpass my past self.
There's no way I can't catch three ninjas whose bodies haven't reached their peak.
The Adamantine Sealing Chains continued to extend, instantly piercing into the earth. After a short while, as if touching something, they were violently retracted.
Three figures were dragged back in a sorry state, tightly bound by the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
"Damn it! How can the Adamantine Sealing Chains extend this far?" Tsunade wanted to use her monstrous strength, but found that the chakra in her body had been completely sealed. Now she couldn't even mobilize a trace of chakra, let alone use ninjutsu like monstrous strength.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru were in the same boat. The Adamantine Sealing Chains was a Kekkei Genkai that directly sealed chakra. No matter how superb or strange your ninjutsu was, once bound by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, all your tricks were useless.
"You'd better stay here obediently. No matter what, our Uzumaki Clan won't let you starve." Uzumaki Ashina smirked. This was the most satisfying moment of his life.
In the past, he wasn't this brave. Whether for the survival of the Uzumaki Clan or his own life, he needed to consider everything rationally to maximize the benefits for the Uzumaki Clan.
But now, he didn't need to worry about so much. With a Demon Lord standing behind him, no matter what he did, someone would back him up.
The current Uzumaki Ashina just wanted to shout to the sky: Awesome!!
Orochimaru, bound by the Adamantine Sealing Chains, darted his eyes around, finally fixing them on Milim, who was still sitting in the main seat.
"Respected Lady Milim, I have already sent the intelligence back through my summon beast. There's no point in capturing us now, is there?"
Orochimaru spoke softly. He didn't expect to be released; he just wanted to talk to the source of all the oddities.
No matter what they talked about, some information would always be revealed. Moreover, that person up there looked very innocent. This was Orochimaru's first impression, though he didn't know if it was real or an act.
"You're wrong about that. Whether it's true or false, does it matter to me, who can see through people's hearts?" This voice, like a thunderclap on flat ground, made Orochimaru suddenly raise his head.
