392 Adopted by the Second Hokage!
🕑 Added 2025-11-28 06:13:01 +0000 UTC"Mito-san, what are you doing standing at the door? Hurry and come inside to sit."
Renya just returned and saw Uzumaki Mito standing at the door with a worried look on her face.
Uzumaki Mito nodded and followed Renya into the courtyard.
That old boy Senju Tobirama wasn't home; he must have run off to the laboratory again.
Otherwise, how could he let his sister-in-law stand at the door?
"Mito-san, have some tea." Renya enthusiastically placed hot tea in front of her.
Uzumaki Mito glanced at the teacup on the table, having no mood to drink tea.
"Mito-san, what happened?"
Renya noticed something was wrong and asked subconsciously.
It was his first time seeing Mito-san so restless.
Something serious must have happened.
"Renya, I just feel like something bad is going to happen..."
Uzumaki Mito voiced her inner thoughts.
She had intended to come and ask about the situation, but unexpectedly, no one was home.
The oppressive feeling in her heart made her toss and turn, unable to sleep.
Somewhere in the unseen, there was a feeling that something bad was about to occur.
If it were anyone else, they might think Uzumaki Mito was hallucinating.
But Renya didn't think so.
Sometimes a person's sixth sense is very accurate.
If one feels that something bad is going to happen, there is no need to doubt; something bad really will happen very soon.
For Uzumaki Mito, the only ones who could make her worry were her clansmen and relatives.
Senju Hashirama was currently retiring in the Land of Iron with Uchiha Madara, so it was impossible for problems to arise there.
And Nawaki was still at school, Tsunade was gambling in the casino, so there were even fewer problems there.
Now it seemed it could only be her clansmen.
Calculating the time, the annihilation of the Land of Whirlpools should happen within this year or the next.
If Mito-san's feeling wasn't wrong, it meant the Uzumaki clan was about to face a crisis of extermination.
The Land of Whirlpools was an isolated island.
If surrounded on all four sides, it was extremely likely to be wiped out in a short time.
There wouldn't even be enough time for reinforcements!
"Mito-san, set your mind at ease." Renya comforted softly.
He didn't tell Uzumaki Mito his speculation; even if he said it, there was no evidence to prove it.
It would only cause Mito-san unnecessary worry; it was better to resolve the matter himself.
For now, it was better to go find Danzo to discuss this matter.
Renya offered words of comfort for a while, and then Uzumaki Mito left.
...
Hokage Office.
"You say the Uzumaki clan will be exterminated?!"
Shimura Danzo looked at Renya in disbelief, his voice involuntarily rising a few notches.
What kind of joke was this!
Everyone knew the Land of Whirlpools was an ally of Konoha; how would other countries dare to move against the Land of Whirlpools?
Were they not afraid of their retaliation?
Furthermore, the Uzumaki clan possessed powerful sealing ninjutsu and could completely hold out until Konoha's support arrived.
Even if they were truly attacked by an enemy country, it was impossible for them to be exterminated.
"Renya, are you confused from sleeping?" Hiruzen teased with a smile, beginning to explain the stakes involved.
"The Land of Whirlpools is Konoha's ally; other countries wouldn't possibly dare to lay a hand on the Land of Whirlpools."
Both of them agreed that Renya was befuddled from his afternoon nap.
Speaking whatever he dreamt of.
"My Mangekyō can briefly foresee the future." Renya's face was calm. "I saw the scene of the Land of Whirlpools being destroyed."
Anyway, they didn't know the abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Whatever ability he claimed, wasn't it whatever he said it was?
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Shimura Danzo and Hiruzen instantly became grave.
When it came to the Mangekyō Sharingan, they didn't doubt the authenticity of these words.
Thinking carefully, Renya would never joke about such things.
So, the Uzumaki clan really would be exterminated!
"Renya, do you know the specific time?" Shimura Danzo's expression was serious.
As long as they knew the time the Uzumaki clan would be exterminated, Konoha Village could make preparations in advance.
"I'm not clear on the specifics, it might be during this period." Renya shook his head.
If not for Mito-san, he would have forgotten about this matter.
He had thought the Three-Tails' death would make the Land of Water dispel the idea, but it seemed it was useless.
Or perhaps, the Land of Water wasn't the only one involved.
Shimura Danzo nodded, "I understand, I will arrange the manpower now."
If it were anyone else saying this, he would definitely need to verify the authenticity of the words.
But since it was Renya's words, then never mind...
He wouldn't use such words to make a joke.
Danzo had unconditional trust in Renya.
It could be said that he would be guarded against Hiruzen, worried that Hiruzen would seize his position.
But he would never be guarded against Renya.
From the moment Renya recommended himself to the teacher to be Hokage.
The relationship between the two was no longer that of ordinary comrades-in-arms.
"Should we tell Tobirama-sensei about this matter?" Hiruzen suddenly asked.
He had developed the habit of asking the teacher before doing major things.
"It is not suitable to let others know about this matter." Renya shook his head. "Just bring all the Anbu and Uchiha Kagami."
The exact time of the Uzumaki clan's extermination was unknown, so it was best not to mobilize too many people.
Shimura Danzo guessed his thoughts and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Good."
Although Hiruzen was somewhat hesitant, seeing that the two had already agreed.
It could only be so.
...
Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
"Raikage-sama, this is a document sent from the Land of Water."
The Kumogakure envoy handed over the document in his hand.
"Land of Water?" The Raikage opened the document in confusion.
When he saw the content clearly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"Kirigakure invites Kumogakure to attack the Land of Whirlpools together?!"
The Raikage quickly calmed down and continued reading the content of the document.
In summary, Kirigakure had their eyes on the Uzumaki clan's powerful sealing ninjutsu.
As long as they possessed the sealing jutsu, they could solve the problem of the Jinchūriki.
The document mentioned that Konoha Village possessed the Uzumaki's sealing ninjutsu, which was why the Nine-Tails had never gone berserk.
Unlike their Jinchūriki, who would go berserk from time to time, frequently bringing huge losses to the village.
Therefore, Kirigakure invited Kumogakure to jointly attack the Land of Whirlpools.
After reading the document, the Raikage fell into silence.
To be honest, he was a little tempted.
In the last war, following the deaths of the Gold and Silver Brothers, the Six Paths ninja tools on them were all seized by Konoha.
Including the Amber Purification Jar that could seal Tailed Beasts.
Originally, the Amber Purification Jar was a divine artifact meant to stay in the village to seal Tailed Beasts, but it was secretly taken to the battlefield by Gold and Silver.
In the end, Kumogakure lost all its high-end combat power and the powerful Six Paths ninja tools.
It was a total loss right down to grandma's house.
Now that the village didn't have the Amber Purification Jar, the Eight-Tails went berserk in the village from time to time.
Causing a series of economic losses; fortunately, Kumogakure was wealthy, so a little loss was nothing.
But if they possessed the Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu...
They would never have to worry about the Tailed Beasts going berserk again.
Thinking of this, the Raikage finally made up his mind.
The village's development over the past few years made him feel capable again.
Let the Land of Whirlpools experience Kumogakure's power first!
