Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

Chapter 91 The Young Lady Was Right to Scold

Night in the Land of Whirlpools.

Mito stayed in Konoha for a long time before returning to the Land of Whirlpools tonight. As soon as he got home, he met with the current head of the Uzumaki clan, his grandfather Uzumaki Ashina, for a private conversation.

After explaining the whole story and adding his own opinions and insights, he looked intently at his grandfather.

The old man frowned and pondered for a long time before finally saying, "I've heard about that rumor recently too."

It wasn't something I only recently learned.

The old man looked at Mito and said, "Your judgment is basically correct. If I had known it would turn out this way, I wouldn't have taken this step of a marriage alliance."

If Hashirama falls, the Senju's power will be over, and Konoha will become the center of the ninja world's storm. They are really not good allies.

"But I cannot break the alliance." The old man closed his eyes.

"Grandpa!" Mito raised her voice slightly and said, "This concerns the life and death of our clan. How can you be so stubborn? I will not allow the Uzumaki clan to be assimilated into the common people and disappear into history like the Senju!"

Every event has its signs. During his time in Konoha, even though Tobirama was very discreet, Mito was still able to discover clues about the Senju clan's movements if he wanted to investigate. All the clues came together to form a single, clear answer.

"The Senju are destined to perish! Our allies! They have long since betrayed the alliance! They no longer exist!" Mito said.

"Konoha is still here," the old man said calmly, looking at his granddaughter.

"A ninja clan with ulterior motives, rife with infighting—Konoha can never be trusted!" Mito declared decisively. "Once the Senju era is over, under the leadership of the new Hokage, Konoha won't care about Uzumaki's fate; they'll even take advantage of his misfortune!"

That's just how reality is.

The old man looked at his granddaughter, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and said, "Have you ever thought about why others can achieve what our Uzumaki clan cannot? Your joining Konoha is a golden opportunity to take over Konoha!"

Mito looked at the old man and said, "So, you're going to gamble with my marriage?"

"This concerns the life and death of our clan. You should know what to do," the old man with the vortex said solemnly.

"Old man, Konoha is definitely not a good place to go," Mito said. "I really hope you can meet Oni-hime; she's not someone to be trifled with."

The Demon Princess is a very famous figure in the ninja world.

The old man simply looked at Mito calmly, then suddenly laughed and said, "Whatever you want to do, just do it. Mito, your grandfather is about to die, and from now on you will be walking alone in the ninja world."

"Grandpa..." A deep sorrow flickered in Mito's eyes. After a moment, she said firmly, "Annection of the engagement!"

"Agreeing to the marriage with the God of the Ninja World is easy, but breaking it is not so easy," the old man said, his eyes deep in thought as he quickly calculated.

"Grandpa, why don't we stall for time?" Mito said. "The outcome will be clear after Hashirama and Madara's battle."

The old man shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have gone to Konoha, Mito. Don't be so naive. This matter can't be delayed any longer. Konoha wants a Jinchūriki, not a fiancé. The fiancé is the only goodwill the God of Shinobi has left. Once the Nine-Tails is captured, this matter will be urgent. Uzumaki can't protect you. At that time, your situation in Konoha, with only the status of a Jinchūriki, will not be optimistic."

Upon hearing this, Mito felt a chill run down her spine. Tobirama was indeed that kind of man, as was Hashirama.

"Mito, betting on both ends is a taboo. You won't win anything, and you'll lose everything. Tobirama should have already noticed your attitude," the old man said. "Gambling is about going all in. Since you don't dare gamble on Senju's future, then there's nothing to hesitate about."

"That Oni-hime is trying to seize the position of the Second Mizukage, isn't she?" the old man said. "As an outsider, she has no clan support in Kirigakure, so her situation must be quite difficult. Now is the perfect time for you to lead your clan to join us and play a significant role!"

"Mito, the only way out right now is to go to a place that can protect you!" the old man Uzumaki said. "A place where even the God of Shinobi cannot act! Without the God of Shinobi, Konoha is no match for Kirigakure!"

"That alone is not enough; we must also consider the face of the God of the Shinobi World." The old man Uzumaki said in a deep voice, "The matter of annulling the engagement cannot come from my mouth, therefore..."

"Grandpa?" Mito felt a chill run down her spine when she saw her grandfather's serious gaze.

"You take your elite clansmen, pack up all the sealing and barrier techniques—this gift will earn the old man's gratitude. Then, betray the Uzumaki clan and announce to the ninja world that you fled in anger because you were unhappy that I married you off to Hashirama Senju," the old man said. "The act must be convincing. Once you've gathered your clansmen, my son and I will have a great battle. My defeat will solidify your reputation in the ninja world, and it will also teach those old fogies from the Sengoku period not to underestimate my granddaughter. Then, once you've established yourself in Kirigakure, you can find another opportunity to return!"

After a moment of silence, Mito's eyes hardened, and she said in a deep voice, "I understand, Grandpa!"

"Go, Mito!"

"Yes!" Mito strode away.

The old man looked exhausted. He rubbed his aching lower back, grimaced for a while, and then muttered to himself, "Ghost Princess, she really set a good trap!" In the blink of an eye, she had led his beloved granddaughter astray in just a few moments. It was enough to make one's stomach hurt. Luckily, she was a woman, otherwise, it would have hurt even more.

"But it's for the best, given how things are developing." The old man Uzumaki looked towards Konoha in the distance and sighed softly, "Even if Hashirama was the God of Shinobi, and accomplished the feat of creating peace with his own hands, he ultimately couldn't overcome the will of the people..."

That night, chaos erupted in the Land of Whirlpools, and a great battle broke out. The young lady and the old clan leader fought each other, hurling insults at one another.

Many members of the Whirlpool Clan were bewildered. They listened to the young lady's angry shouts and the old clan leader's furious roars from afar, and were extremely confused. But as they listened, they understood the cause and effect, and their expressions became complicated. They felt bad that the young lady's happiness had been sacrificed for the sake of the clan.

The young lady is right to scold me!

Looking from afar, sixteen thick, glowing chains stretched endlessly in the night sky like thunderbolts, forming a Vajra-like barrier that clashed and struck each other like lightning dragons. When the chains fell to the ground, they created a hideous and terrifying crack, sending dust flying.

Wochao Village is a famous longevity village. Many red-haired old people nodded in agreement. The young lady already had the fighting spirit of the old clan chief when he was young. They both had quite a fiery temper.

Meanwhile, some elite young men and women watched the battle between the old and new clan leaders with complicated expressions. They already understood the cause and effect of the matter, and kept their mouths shut in front of the other clan members who were unaware of the truth.

Until Mito shouted, "Old man, you've lost! Let's see who dares to stop me! And this boring clan! Who wants to come with me!"

"No one will go with you! You rebellious daughter! You're infuriating me!" the old man roared, his defenses broken.

Seemingly without any hope, Mito turned and left!

Seeing this, the many members of the Whirlpool Clan had mixed feelings. The young lady was just angry for a moment and ran away from home. Once her anger subsided, she would come back, right?

But at that moment, hundreds of young men and women silently followed in Mito's footsteps, disappearing from the sea without looking back, heading towards Kirigakure.

The gears of fate turned at this moment, changing direction.
