[The overall strength of this group of Kusagakure Ninjas was not strong to begin with; in the face of absolute power, they were like paper.]
[Before long, Kusagakure was already a river of blood!]
[Kushina took Karin and made her move.]
[Carrying Uzumaki Mina's belongings, Karin constantly pointed out the Ninjas who had bullied them over the years from among the group of Kusagakure Ninjas who were fleeing like mad.]
[Without exception, all of them were captured by Kushina using the Adamantine Sealing Chains.]
[She sealed their Chakra and mobility, making them all kneel before Uzumaki Mina's grave.]
[However... with these actions, Naruto and Minato Namikaze both had to stop.]
[Even the Great Fox, who had already formed a half-sized Chakra body, had its Tailed Beast transformation terminated.]
[He had originally planned to fire a Tailed Beast Ball, but now... it seemed that wouldn't work.]
[At first, they thought Karin was 'holding' a list and looking for enemies.]
[After a while, the family realized...]
[Every single one of these Kusagakure Ninjas... was on it!]
[Minato Namikaze fell silent.]
[He was very aware of the Uzumaki Clan's powerful life force.]
[The torture they endured... was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.]
[With a dull knife cutting flesh, a normal person would have died long ago.]
[But if it's someone from the Uzumaki Clan, especially one with an extremely pure bloodline...]
[Then, that vast Chakra and extremely powerful life force... is the greatest tragedy.]
[In the thoughts of Naruto, Kushina, and Minato Namikaze...]
[This Kusagakure must be razed to the ground.]
[Naruto was even prepared to release the Great Fox and have its Chakra body don the Wood Release: Susanoo Sengoku Armor.]
[But plans can't keep up with changes.]
[Naruto's figure flashed, appearing behind Karin.]
[Perhaps an ending like this is better?]
[It will also make the entire Ninja World even more terrified.]
["Great Fox, guard Karin's mind..."]
["Hmph! You don't have to tell me!" the Great Fox said crossly.]
[She was also a bit frustrated.]
[It was like... Naruto said he'd just rub against it and not go in, and then he really didn't go in!]
[It's enough to kill a fox with anger!]
[Next, the slaughter became extremely long and drawn out.]
[Until dawn.]
[After Karin killed the last Kusa Ninja...]
[She had completely mastered the Adamantine Sealing Chains.]
[And this group of Kusa Ninjas all died kneeling before Uzumaki Mina's grave.]
[Karin's eyes still carried a look of madness.]
[Fortunately, the Great Fox was watching, so no other problems occurred.]
[Perhaps because her great vengeance was finally avenged, she was too tired.]
[Karin closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.]
[Kushina held her in her arms, her face full of heartache.]
[Minato Namikaze's gaze was calm.]
[This was a baptism.]
[Whether for Karin, or for Kushina and Minato Namikaze, it was the same.]
[Finally, Naruto cleaned up the battlefield.]
[He erased the traces of Wood Release.]
[Then he handed those few White Humanoid Beings over to Kushina.]
[They had all lost consciousness, sinking into the Genjutsu World.]
[Kushina used the Adamantine Sealing Chains to restrain them and bring them back to Konoha.]
[Meanwhile, Naruto cleaned up the battlefield.]
[With the help of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique...]
[He quickly took away everything of value in Kusagakure.]
[It was truly a case of plucking every feather from a passing goose.]
[Of course, incidentally, even the eggs were shaken until they were scrambled.]
[He collected a large amount of useful intelligence.]
[After all, Kusagakure held a vast amount of information.]
[Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make a living by selling intelligence.]
[Having done all this, Naruto hung Uzumaki Clan crests all around the area.]
[Then, the Four Red Yang Formation vanished.]
[Instantly.]
[A thick smell of blood rose into the sky.]
[The crest of the Uzumaki Clan, that red whirlpool, was dyed red with blood.]
[Only, this time the blood used wasn't from the Uzumaki Clan members, but from this group of Kusa Ninjas.]
[At dawn.]
[Naruto's family had already left.]
[No one knew they had been there.]
[No, those who knew were already dead.]
What happened that night...
also caused the Ninja World to fall silent.
Ruthless!
Far too ruthless!
Killing without torture is one thing, but Karin lacked strength; those Kusa Ninjas were not so lucky.
However, compared to everything Uzumaki Mina suffered during her life, it seemed somewhat insignificant.
At the same time, an inexplicable fear spread through everyone's hearts.
Would such bloody methods... descend upon their own heads?
When the Land of Whirlpools was carved up, many had participated back then.
The law doesn't punish the masses?
Don't be ridiculous.
Who they had to face was Black-Framed Naruto, who was preparing to set the rules.
Instead, this scene made Uchiha Madara nod with considerable gratification.
From his initial indifference to his current various approvals... Uchiha Madara was clearly evolving in Orochimaru's direction.
The frequency of Hashirama Senju's laughter also became lower and lower.
The black-framed large screen imagery continued:
[Perhaps the events in Kusagakure wouldn't be discovered immediately the next day.]
[But... it wouldn't be long.]
[Let the bullet fly for a while.]
[The next day, afternoon.]
[Outside Kusagakure.]
[The thick scent of blood made the nearby wild beasts become restless.]
[Finally, after a Ninja squad arrived, the commotion nearby quieted down quite a bit.]
["Damn Kusa!"]
["Where has everyone gone?!"]
["I just bought intel from them... and they turned around and sold the fact that we bought it to our enemies!"]
["This time, I'll definitely teach these guys a lesson!"]
["The enemy has superior numbers... hit and run!"]
["..."]
[The group was cursing and swearing.]
[Soon, the leading Jonin raised his hand and paused his steps.]
["Something's not right... damn it!"]
["Retreat!!!"]
[Whoosh—]
[The group flickered away in a panic.]
[A moment later, they regrouped.]
["Something's wrong... how can it be this quiet?!"]
["There aren't even any traps?"]
["Could the word have leaked out?"]
["Very likely. The opposition is Kusa... they might have already set a trap and are just waiting for us to walk into it... those guys love to kill with a borrowed knife when dealing with customers seeking revenge!"]
["Should we... leave?"]
[Everyone fell silent for a moment.]
[Finally, the leading Jonin sighed.]
["We're already here."]
["Everyone stay alert; we'll slow down as we head over."]
[With such delays...]
[By the time they reached the entrance of Kusagakure, a full two hours had passed.]
[Then, everyone smelled that thick scent of blood.]
[Mixed with a faint scent of decay.]
["What's going on?"]
["Could it be...?!"]
["It's too quiet!"]
[They dawdled for a good while longer.]
[Afterward, still adhering to the 'we're already here' mentality...]
[The group ventured deeper.]
[After entering Kusagakure, these Ninjas felt a surge of trepidation.]
[The blood-red patterns on the swaying and drooping fabrics... looked extremely eerie.]
[Finally, someone saw the corpse of a Kusa Ninja.]
[After the initial shock, they followed the smell of blood and arrived in front of a dilapidated small wooden hut.]
[Bleargh—!!!]
[Without exception, everyone present felt nauseous and gagged.]
[That whirlpool-shaped blood pattern was deeply etched into their minds.]
["I remember now!"]
["That's... that's the crest of the Uzumaki Clan from the Land of Whirlpools back then!"]
