The Land of Whirlpools destroyed?
Naruto suddenly felt a heavy heart.
But in an instant,
his eyes turned cold.
In Konoha, he never felt he belonged.
Upon learning he was from the Uzumaki Clan, he naturally leaned towards the Uzumaki Clan.
Even though he had never received care from the Uzumaki Clan to this day,
Naruto still favored the Uzumaki Clan, because they shared the same origin, and he had grown into who he was now because of the Uzumaki physique.
Seeing the Uzumaki Clan destroyed overnight, he finally understood why he was the only one in all of Konoha with the surname Uzumaki.
However, in a flash, Naruto chuckled to himself.
Allies?
That was the most useless thing in this Ninja World.
Konoha Ninja vests even had the Uzumaki Clan emblem printed on their backs... they only did superficial work.
Subconsciously, Naruto looked at Iruka on the podium; at this moment, Iruka was writing teaching content on the blackboard.
On the back of the Ninja vest he wore, that red Uzumaki was, without a doubt, the Uzumaki Clan emblem.
'The Uzumaki Clan established the Land of Whirlpools, and also used a one-country, one-Village system, Uzushiogakure.'
'Judging solely from paper strength, it would definitely not be weaker than the other Four Great Ninja Villages.'
'And their sealing jutsu was in a league of its own, commissions would definitely be flying in, economic development must have been very good, backed by ally Konoha... development must have been excellent!'
'Moreover, in Clan Head Fugaku's notes, the Land of Whirlpools also possessed various mysterious powers, powers from sacrifices.'
'Destroyed overnight?'
'Hehe, it couldn't be like the Uchiha, could it?'
'But that's impossible!'
'No matter how small the Land of Whirlpools was, it was still larger than Konoha, destroyed overnight... that could only mean one thing!'
Naruto's gaze turned icy, 'Several great Ninja Villages acted together!'
'A man's innocent, but his treasure makes him guilty!'
'The Land of Whirlpools controlled the most powerful sealing jutsu in the Ninja World, which was one of the reasons for its destruction.'
'Backed by Konoha... yet still destroyed overnight...'
Naruto clenched his fists.
'That Old Thing Third Hokage!'
'Rotten Village!'
Uzumaki Kushina: "Well said!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "My child, let the Land of Whirlpools reappear in the world!"
Uzumaki Kushina: "Just you wait, in the black frame world, my child will come to collect debts from you!"
Uzumaki Mito: Alas... Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, who were originally about to speak, fell silent.
Minato Namikaze's attention was completely elsewhere at this moment.
He lowered his head, his face full of worry.
"Kurama... Kushina wouldn't..."
"Hmph! That's your business, it's none of this fox's business, this fox knows nothing."
After looking through the records concerning the Land of Whirlpools,
Naruto's brows furrowed.
'So, the First Hokage's wife, the first Great Fox Jinchuriki, was soft-imprisoned and stripped of power?'
'Otherwise, it wouldn't be recorded this way.'
'Konoha Year 37... an 8-year-old Uzumaki Kushina was brought back to Konoha by Tsunade.'
'Uzumaki Kushina?'
Naruto was stunned.
After the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, the only survivor brought back was
Uzumaki Kushina.
Uzumaki...
Naruto looked at the name Uzumaki Kushina for a long time.
Finally, he closed his eyes.
Based on the information he had gathered so far, there was no doubt that this was his mother.
The only recorded members of the Uzumaki Clan in all of Konoha,
besides Uzumaki Mito, was this Uzumaki Kushina.
'Was it because Uzumaki Mito was old, and Konoha needed a second Great Fox Jinchuriki that she was brought back?'
'Hehe, this Village... this Ninja World, is truly dark.'
'It's a pity, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama's vision was beautiful, but reality was harsh.'
'His ideals differed from Uchiha Madara, which led to the two parting ways.'
'Then came the great war... But, the Uchiha's eye abilities are so outstanding, could there be a genjutsu like a whisper...'
'Uchiha Madara, faked his death?!'
Buzz—
The moment Black-Framed Naruto's inner voice sounded,
in the Pure Land World,
Uchiha Madara trembled all over.
It's here?!
So fast?!
He wasn't prepared at all.
Senju Hashirama: This... this can't be, can it?
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Izuna spoke simultaneously.
Izanagi!
Senju Tobirama: "Naturally evil Uchiha!"
Everyone in the Ninja World was stunned.
Uchiha Madara wasn't dead?
And soon, on the large black-framed screen, Naruto gave the answer.
Naruto frowned, then flipped forward.
He saw records about the Uchiha Clan's dōjutsu and legends.
'The Uchiha forbidden jutsu that costs the Sharingan its sight, the ultimate dōjutsu, Izanagi?'
'But it is countered by Izanami.'
'Members of the Uchiha Clan with the Sharingan can activate Izanagi by forming the three hand seals: Hare, Boar, and Ram.'
'It can turn any unfavorable event that happened to oneself within a certain period into something that never happened.'
'No matter what kind of injury the caster suffers, even death, they can return to their original state; the duration depends on the caster.'
Seeing this, Naruto's pupils suddenly constricted.
'Could it be... that Masked Man is Uchiha Madara?!'
'According to the records, the only one not in the Uchiha Clan but still a member of the Uchiha Clan, and also possessing the Mangekyo Sharingan, is Uchiha Madara!'
As the inner voice faded,
inside the Kannabi Bridge underground base,
Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu were both stunned.
See, see!
Why did you give him this, of all things?
Well, everyone's fig leaf is about to be stripped bare!
Uchiha Izumi: If it's Old Ancestor Madara... then it seems to make sense.
Uchiha Izuna: Big Brother... you didn't die back then?
Uchiha Madara didn't want to answer.
But the one asking the question was his beloved younger brother.
Uchiha Madara: I used Izanagi.
After speaking, Uchiha Madara said no more. He believed Izuna would understand from his answer that he didn't wish to reveal too much.
Indeed, Uchiha Izuna fell silent.
Ino Yamanaka: "It's actually like this!"
Ino Yamanaka: "But, Madara... Sir, even if you didn't die, you must have been severely injured, right?"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Uchiha Madara: Hmm.
Senju Hashirama: How could... when did you use it?
Senju Tobirama: "Damn it, you bastard, so you were planning everything all along!"
Uchiha Izuna: Hmph! Are you saying that your rotten Village was also caused by my Big Brother's planning?!
For a moment, Senju Tobirama was speechless.
On Konoha's side, hearing Uchiha Izuna refer to Konoha as a rotten Village, they dared not speak even more.
Konoha at this moment was completely different from Konoha when the comparison viewing system first appeared.
And the news that Uchiha Madara was not dead also shook the Ninja World.
Ōnoki took a deep breath.
In the chat room, he sincerely said: "It truly is you, Uchiha Madara."
Mei Terumī: "I didn't expect the Uchiha to have such a forbidden jutsu... It's not fair, why are all your Bloodline Limits so broken?"
