Chapter 143 The Fall of the Vortex Country?

Whirlpool Nagato?

Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his head slightly and glanced at Uzumaki Nagato, whose red hair was very conspicuous.

Originally, as the conservatives among Konoha's top management, he, Zhuanzhu Xiaoharu and Mitomen Yan did not agree to let Uzumaki Nagato participate in the answer test at first.

Even if they agree that Namikaze Minato wants to bring Uzumaki Nagato, the owner of the reincarnation eye, back to Konoha Village for protection.

But on the one hand, even if Uzumaki Nagato is a member of the Uzumaki clan, he is basically an outsider, and the interests of Konoha are not highly consistent. What if the door leaves Konoha, publicizes it, and discloses the secret of the answer test to the public?
This is not to think about the worst of Uzumaki Nagato, but to consider the worst outcome first.

More importantly, Uzumagato's parents were killed by Konoha ninjas. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this comparison is always on Konoha's head. Who can guarantee that Uzumagato has no revenge in his heart?

On the other hand, Konoha has just come out of the pain of the third ninja war, and has not yet regrouped and regained his strength.

Uzumaki Nagato, as one of the leaders of the Akatsuki rebel organization in the Land of Rain, appeared in Konoha at this time, which undoubtedly sent a provocative message to the Land of Rain and Hanzo.

Once Hanzo becomes angry from embarrassment and unites the two countries, how will Konoha deal with himself?
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea at the beginning was to closely protect Uzumaki Nagato after receiving Konoha, not to disclose the news of others in Konoha, and try not to disturb Hanzo and others.

To his disappointment, Namikaze Minato did not adopt his opinion, but greeted Uzumaki Nagato and Akatsuki with great fanfare, and took them to the Uzumaki Shrine in Uzushio Village to worship.

This incident is a naked declaration to the outside world: Uzumaki Nagato and Akatsuki are from Konoha Village.

Once this signal is released, the consequences will be unpredictable.

"The younger generation is really worrying."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who had been retired for nearly a year, shook his head distressedly, and smoked a pipe.

……

Uchiha Fugaku also knew the information of Uzumaki Nagato for a long time, and had a rough understanding of the latter.

But at this time, seeing Uzumaki Nagato's name ranked No. 13 on the ninja figure list, I still couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's really scary. Can you have such terrifying strength at such a young age?"

"As expected of the eyes of the sages, the eyes that the sages of the Six Paths once had?"

Being able to line up the "God of Ninja" Senju Hashirama, "Ninja Shura" Uchiha Madara, and the past shadows of each village, Uchiha Fugaku felt that this red-haired young man should not be underestimated.

"But why, there is Sasuke's name?"

What the patriarch Uchiha couldn't understand was how his youngest son's name would appear on the list of characters, and it was still ranked so high, even surpassing Uzumaki Nagato.

He is obviously just a little guy who has not been born for a long time!

"Could it be the same name?"

"But I heard Jiraiya talking to the Fourth Hokage just now. That Uzumaki Naruto is the fourth Hokage's newly born son?"

"Can the future Sasuke reach such a height?"

Uchiha Fugaku felt hot in his heart, feeling that the hope of revitalizing the Uchiha clan finally appeared.

……

"Your Excellency, we choose the character list - Uzumaki Nagato."

After getting Uzumaki Nagato's consent, Namikaze Minato spoke to Ye Chen.

"Well, since that's the case, please read the first mention!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the pictures on the four screens in the middle of the round table flashed, and the first question appeared:

[Question [-]: Is Uzumaki Nagato the blood of Uzumaki Clan? 】

Answer a: Yes.

Answer b: No.

As usual, the first question is a sub-question as usual, and it was also carefully selected by Ye Chen.

Old people like Namakaze Minato who have answered the question three times naturally also know this, and smiled slightly after seeing the question:
"Sure enough, the previous questions are very simple."

Of course, Namikaze Minato did not forget to say to Ye Chen:

"Thank you sir."

He knew that such a simple question must have been deliberately done by Ye Chen.

Although everyone present knew what the answer was, Minato Namikaze turned his head to Uzumaki Nagato and asked him to answer the question.

After all, the problem was based on Uzumaki Nagato, and he didn't want to overstep it.

"Well, I choose answer a: yes."

Uzumaki Nagato didn't hesitate, and immediately spoke back.

"Congratulations, you answered the question correctly, let's look at the screen."

Ye Chen smiled, and put the picture corresponding to the first question on the screen.

[In the picture, it is the scene in Uzushio Village. A young couple looked at the baby on the bed, showing a happy smile. It was the scene where Uzumaki Nagato was just born. At that time, Uzushio Village had not yet been destroyed. 】

[Afterwards, Uzumaki Nagato grew up slowly, enjoying a happy and happy childhood with the company of his parents. 】

Looking at the picture in front of him, Uzumaki Nagato showed a complex expression, which seemed to be reminiscing, but also seemed a little confused.

In fact, the years of growing up in Uzumaki Village were very short, Uzumaki Kingdom was destroyed when Uzumaki Nagato was not very old, and his parents ran away with the young Uzumaki Nagato in a hurry.

Childhood memories will be gradually forgotten when they grow up, so Uzumaki Nagato can no longer remember the things when he was a child, and when he saw the picture at this time, he felt a sense of familiarity.

"I……"

Uzumaki Nagato opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he closed it again, speechless.

Everyone in Hokage's office saw that Uzumaki Nagato was immersed in sadness and reminiscence, and they tacitly did not bother him. Only Uzumaki Kushina looked at Uzumaki Nagato with concern.

"Everyone, I would like to ask you, can you tell me the truth about the destruction of the Uzumaki Kingdom?"

After a long time, Uzumaki Nagato raised his head to look at the crowd, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and he begged with a serious expression on his face.

"This……"

Regarding the extermination of the Uzumaki Clan in the Uzumaki Country, everyone in Konoha here has heard a little bit. After all, these people are either the high-ranking Hokage Clan or the patriarch of the core ninja clan. Regarding the information that Konoha can obtain, They rarely conceal them, so they know a lot of information.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said in a low voice:

"It's not that we don't want to tell you, but that the original truth is already blurred, and we don't know who the murderer is."

A sad look flashed across Uzumaki Kushina’s face. When Uzumaki’s country was invaded and Uzumaki’s clan was exterminated, she had already come to Konoha to go to school. She had no personal experience, and she learned everything from Uzumaki Mizu’s account .

She nodded and said to Uzumaki Nagato:
"That's right, Nagato."

"What happened at that time happened too suddenly. When Konoha's people rushed to Uzumaki Country afterwards, the murderer had already left. We can only speculate who the murderer is."
