Chapter 97
🕑 Added 2025-05-21 03:18:05 +0000 UTCAfter Aloe Uzumaki arrived at the root, Danzo's subordinate Yamanaka Arashi had her mind read by her, and then Danzo put the Tongue-Eradication Seal on her, and finally locked her in the basement for brainwashing.
The situation of the other two Uzumaki children was similar, but they were not locked up. They studied every day with the teachers assigned to them by Danzo, and Danzo would occasionally come to teach and test them.
In this way, Danzo trained and transformed Uzumaki Aloe and the other two, while searching for the traces of the Uzumaki Hidden School according to the information given by Uzumaki Aloe.
He was already very sure that Uzumaki Kushina was rescued by the people of the Hidden School, so as long as he found where the Uzumaki Hidden School was living now, he would have a means to counteract Uzumaki Kushina.
But since the Hidden School is called the Hidden School, it is naturally not so easy to find.
The Uzumaki clan's branch in the Land of Hot Springs is hidden so deeply that even few shadow guards know of the existence of this branch of the Uzumaki clan.
Danzo didn't even know that the Hidden School was in the Land of Hot Springs, so it was impossible for him to find it so quickly even if he searched all over the world.
Before Danzo found the trace of the Hidden School, another month had passed since the last basement attack, and Uzumaki Kushina came again.
Like a flood or a ferocious beast, the shadow waves formed by the shadow rats quickly shuttled through the underground tunnels, leaving no grass behind wherever they passed.
Everything was swallowed up by the shadows. They sank little by little as if they were stuck in a quagmire. They were sent to the shadow world by the shadow mice.
In the shadow world, these substances will be corroded and transformed into a kind of shadow energy, and this shadow energy is the food of the shadow mice.
A ninja was blocking the exit of the tunnel. He quickly formed hand seals, then puffed up his cheeks and blew out a burst of hot flames that filled the tunnel.
However, Shadow Mouse didn't care about the flames at all, and even the flames were swallowed up by the shadows.
Large pieces of flames fell into the shadow world, quickly losing their luster and being consumed after burning away part of the shadow energy.
Afterwards, the ninja was unable to escape and was pulled into the shadow world by the Shadow Mouse.
He was not protected, floating in the shadow world, with no force points around him, unable to move. He could not hear any sound, and his vision was completely dark, unable to see anything.
The five senses of touch, hearing, vision, taste and smell are quickly stripped away, and the individual's consciousness gradually disappears.
A living person lost the color of life little by little, gradually turned into pure black, and finally turned into a ball of shadow energy and merged into the surrounding shadows.
A tide of Shadow Rats swept across the Root base. A barrier was set up deep inside the base to block the Shadow Rats. The Root ninjas outside, seeing that they could not resist the Shadow Rats, temporarily took shelter.
The Shadow Rat Tide left, dozens of Root Ninjas disappeared, many facilities in the base were destroyed, and a lot of research equipment disappeared.
Looking at the base that was almost looted, Danzo had a gloomy face and the Root ninjas around him were silent and dared not make a sound.
Uzumaki Kushina was still spying on Danzo's expression through the Shadow Mouse in the Shadow World. As long as Danzo was unhappy, she would be happy.
"Hmm? What is this?" Uzumaki Kushina kept observing the outside world through different shadow mice, and then she saw a figure at the Root Base that made her frown involuntarily.
Aloe Uzumaki, Kushina knew this woman, but how did she end up in the Root Base?
Kushina began to observe secretly through the Shadow Mouse. After several days of observation, she understood Danzo's intentions and found the other two Uzumaki children.
"Not only is he not trusted by the Konoha high-ranking officials, but now he can't even protect his clan members?" Kushina couldn't help but sigh.
Come to think of it, in Konoha, the only families that can protect their people from Danzo are the Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, and Senju. How can the Uzumaki clan, which has fallen to the point of only having twenty people left, protect their own people?
Although she sighed, Kushina didn't feel much after that.
In fact, she didn't have much affection for the Uzumaki clan she came from.
She was sent to Konoha as soon as she could remember. The biggest impression she had of her clan members was the wife of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju. But that lady was not good at talking, and apart from teaching her the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, she didn't teach her anything else.
Therefore, she felt that the Uzumaki clan was just her family that sold her for a good price.
At first she still had some resentment, but time later diluted all that.
However, they were her own people after all, so Uzumaki Kushina did not completely ignore them.
She wrote a letter to Uzumaki Rei and had Shadow mouse deliver it to his desk.
The letter not only told them everything that happened that night, but also advised them to leave Konoha, saying that she could help.
When Uzumaki Rei saw the letter, he was silent for a long time and had no appetite for three or four days.
However, in the end, Uzumaki Rei did not choose to follow Kushina's advice, he didn't dare.
If they leave Konoha at this time, they would be traitors.
In his opinion, being a part of Konoha is better than that hidden sect hiding in some mountain valley.
Perhaps, as they continue to reproduce in Konoha, one of their clansmen will become the Hokage of Konoha Village in the future.
The Hokage of the five major ninja villages is almost the pinnacle of the ninja world.
It's a nice thought, but he didn't realize that he is weak, incompetent, greedy, and blind. With a patriarch like him, does the Uzumaki clan of Konoha really have a future?
