Chapter 120 We'll die from our severe injuries, we'll die outside
Nagato and Karin's mother looked at each other, both feeling curious because the other had the same hair color as them, and at the same time, they felt a natural sense of familiarity.
Yahiko and Konan were naturally curious about her because they had heard that she was like Nagato, but neither of them knew much about the Uzumaki clan.
"Souji, the Uzumaki clan is..."
"A few decades ago, during the Warring States period, before the five great ninja villages even existed, there was a very powerful ninja clan."
"The Uzumaki clan has three main characteristics: red hair, a huge amount of chakra, and a secret high-level sealing technique."
"Compared to me, Kakuzu should know more about the Uzumaki clan?"
Souji looked towards Kakuzu.
Kakuzu glanced at Karin's mother a few times and said in a deep voice:
"Actually, it's not that I know everything just because I've lived a long time. To be honest, I don't know much about the Uzumaki clan. I've only fought them a few times."
"Just as you said, the Uzumaki clan has a huge amount of chakra and a high-level sealing technique. During the Warring States period, they were the top ninja clans, second only to the Senju and Uchiha clans. They were also allies of the Senju clan for many years. Even the wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was a member of the Uzumaki clan."
"Even their most ordinary clansmen possess considerable strength, and many of them are powerful individuals with high bounties on their hands in the black market…"
"However, precisely because of their strength, and because the Land of Whirlpools where the Uzumaki clan lives is near the Land of Water, Kirigakure feels quite uneasy and regards them as a thorn in their side."
"In the end, Kirigakure joined forces with several powerful ninja clans residing on various islands to conquer the Land of Whirlpools. Most of the Uzumaki clan members were killed in action, with only a few escaping and scattering throughout the ninja world..."
As members of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato and Karin's mother listened with great attention.
Nagato asked:
"But... if the Uzumaki clan was truly such a powerful ninja clan, then why were they wiped out so easily..."
"Although it's said that Kirigakure has united with multiple ninja clans, it still sounds a bit too easy... And isn't it said that they've been allies with the Senju clan for many years?"
"The Senju clan was the first ninja clan established by Konoha. The First and Second Hokage were both members of the Senju clan. In the past, the Senju clan could almost be considered part of Konoha, right? With such a powerful ally, how could the Uzumaki clan be so easily wiped out by Kirigakure..."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu paused slightly, a look of confusion and recollection on his face.
"That's true, so many people in the know consider it a strange thing. Although the powerful Second Mizukage was in charge of Kirigakure at the time, the Uzumaki clan shouldn't have been wiped out so easily..."
"At that time, Konoha did not send reinforcements, and the Uzumaki clan was wiped out too quickly. Normally, such a great war would not be surprising if it lasted for a long time, but the Uzumaki clan was wiped out overnight..."
"Although I wasn't there at the time and don't know the specific details, there are definitely many suspicious points about this matter."
Everyone listened intently, and even someone like Sasori, with his personality, was still curious about the secrets of the ninja world.
Souji thought to himself that he had seen similar descriptions in some records before, and the content was roughly the same as what Kakuzu had said.
One particular record, with its unclear details, particularly intrigued Souji.
At that time, Konoha actually sent ninjas stationed along the coast of the Land of Fire as reinforcements, but they lost contact with the ninjas en route.
Even later, these people were never found; they had all vanished into the sea...
At that time, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had already died in the First Shinobi World War, and the Third Hokage had just taken office.
The Third Hokage went there in person after that, only to find that the Land of Whirlpools had already been conquered, and the Uzumaki clan was thus wiped out.
Because there were too many mysteries surrounding it, the Hokage felt that some mysterious figure was interfering, and before he could gather more information, he classified it as a secret.
It is indeed very difficult for others in the ninja world to understand.
However, for Souji...
It was probably Madara Uchiha who made the move.
Taking advantage of the fact that even Tobirama Senju was dead and there were no more rivals in the ninja world, they used various means to lure Kirigakure into destroying the powerful Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki clan has many strong members, but if the opponent is Madara, then they are no match for him.
If Madara secretly killed some of the strongest members of the Uzumaki clan, then without their top fighting force, they would naturally be no match for the various island ninja clans led by Kirigakure, and their annihilation overnight would be a foregone conclusion.
Although these are all just his own guesses, in Souji's opinion, knowing many secrets of the ninja world through the original work is the only way to make sense.
"Alright, we've just given you a general overview of the Uzumaki clan; there's no need to dwell on the past."
Souji, with a smile, clapped his hands and said to everyone:
"In short, Nagato and Karin's mother are both descendants of the Uzumaki clan who were scattered throughout the ninja world because of this, but they have different abilities."
"Karin's mother's healing ability is that by biting her body, she can restore the injuries and chakra of the person who bites her. Therefore, she suffered quite excessive damage in Kusagakure."
"..."
Upon hearing the description of her abilities and experiences, Karin's mother trembled and her expression became quite fearful.
But what I heard next was indignant voices.
"Souji, you mean those people from Kusagakure treat her as..."
Among the group, Yahiko and his two companions, who were the most righteous and passionate, immediately became indignant upon imagining Karin's mother's experiences.
"That's outrageous! Wouldn't that mean Karin's mother is..."
As a woman, Konan was more perceptive and immediately looked at Karin's mother's hands, which were exposed outside her sleeves. Sure enough, she vaguely noticed some teeth marks that looked like they had been bitten.
This instantly heightened Konan's sympathy, and she ran over, took her hand, and said to her sincerely:
"Karin's mother, don't worry, from now on no one will be able to hurt you!"
We will all protect you!
"Oh... thank you..."
Compared to Konan, Karin's mother seemed more at a loss.
This was the first time she had ever received such kind treatment...
Souji cleared his throat and said:
"Let me finish... I took Karin's mother away from Kusagakure not just to save her, but also because of this ability of hers."
"ah!"
Konan shouted, pointing at Souji, and said angrily:
"Captain! I misjudged you! You actually wanted to hurt Karin's mother like that!?"
"Let me tell you! Even if we're seriously injured and die outside, without receiving any treatment, we will absolutely not bite Karin's mother!"
"Yahiko! Nagato!"
As soon as Konan said this, Yahiko and Nagato immediately echoed her loudly:
"Konan is right! We would never bite Karin's mother!"
