Chapter 64: Although I Am Incompetent, I Am Not a Coward (Asking for Monthly Tickets)

"Tsukimi-sama!"

In the meeting room of the Uzushio Village building, Uzumaki Toruya held Kumokawa's hand, shaking it wildly and gratefully saying, "Thanks to you! Thank you so much!"

Behind him, there were a group of embarrassed Uzumaki ninjas, watching the scene in the distance in silence and bewilderment.

They had healthy hands and feet and no obvious injuries on their bodies, but everyone was dripping with thick dark red blood, as if they had been baptized by a bloody rain from head to toe.

Perhaps there really was a bloody rain just now, a local bloody rain caused by humans.

"No need to do that."

Faced with Uzumaki Tetsuya's exaggerated and abnormal performance, Kumokawa just smiled and shook his head calmly: "Although I really want to congratulate you all for escaping the disaster temporarily, but..."

"I'm afraid that the main force of Kirigakure has landed and is rushing here."

Speaking of this, Kumokawa paused, looked at the silent elders and ninjas, and asked: "So, do you have any countermeasures?"

As soon as these words came out, Uzumaki Tetsuya's smile froze on his face, and he looked at the elders beside him with a sad face.

Family members know their own affairs.

As a famous family that is good at sealing techniques, the actual size of the clan is not large, and most of them are civilians who do not know ninjutsu.

Basically, all ninjas are in Uzushio Village.

The scale of Uzushio Village is completely incomparable to Konoha, it is really just one village.

And because it is called the longevity village because of its longevity per capita, the number of middle-aged and elderly people is even more than that of young people.

Again, the same words.

The village cannot be defended.

The gap in military strength is too great.

"No matter what, thank you for your help."

Uzumaki Haruka, who was standing by, looked very calm, not as happy or sad as Uzumaki Tetsuya, and said calmly as a clan leader: "Compared to the ungrateful and profit-seeking Konoha, you have done enough."

Hearing this, a complex color of anger and sadness flashed in the eyes of the clan elders and ninjas.

The allies who had been carrying the covenant for decades watched coldly, but it was the strangers who came to their aid and gave them a glimmer of hope under the suppression of Kirigakure.

This is really... ridiculous.

"But I have one last request."

After a moment of silence, Uzumaki Yangjie suddenly spoke, exhaled deeply, and said with deep eyes: "I wonder if you can agree."

As if he saw his thoughts, Yunchuan's expression became serious and said: "Please speak."

"If possible..."

A trace of pain flashed across Uzumaki Yangjie's eyes, but his mind once again thought of his daughter. His expression became resolute again and he said in a low voice: "I want you to accept the people of the Whirlpool Country."

"If you can agree, we are willing to give you all those books to repay your kindness."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire conference room instantly fell into silence, and the breathing and heartbeats of the people present seemed to stagnate, and then some people subconsciously wanted to speak to dissuade.

"Yangjie! It's not that bad yet!"

"Master, how can we..."

"Enough!" Without waiting for the noisy crowd to finish their words, Uzumaki Yangjie glanced at them coldly, and his indifferent voice was deafening, "Accept the reality, we have no choice now!"

The slightly cold words stung the nerves of everyone present.

They all understood that the existence of the Uzumaki clan was feared by many people.

Perhaps it was because of their powerful sealing technique, or perhaps it was because of the uniqueness of one clan and one country...

It's not just Kirigakure who wants them dead, but also the Land of Fire and even Konoha. The trust between the two countries has been broken, and in the eyes of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, they will become a "threat".

Even if Kirigakure can be defeated this time, there will be Rock Village and Cloud Village next time. The Uzumaki clan, which has lost its protection, will inevitably be crushed into dust by the war.

The demise of the Land of Whirlpools has become inevitable, and the only option left is "escape".

"How many people in the Whirlpool Country need to be evacuated?"

Yunchuan did not agree to Yangjie's words, but asked a very rational question, and then said: "If there are too many people, it is very likely to expose the whereabouts."

But after hearing what Yunchuan said, Yangjie felt much more relieved.

At least this mysterious young man is not a careless person.

But in fact, Yunchuan himself has similar ideas, just waiting for them to bring it up.

It is very important to distinguish between active and passive.

If the Whirlpool Country takes the initiative to bring it up, it is a "request" to him.

But if Yunchuan takes the initiative to bring it up, it is "taking advantage of the fire".

"Toru."

Uzumaki Yangjie looked at Uzumaki Toru, who was slumped in the chair, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at his appearance and sighed and said: "Including you, how many old, weak, women and children need to be evacuated?"

"Ah? Ah..."

Hearing this, Uzumaki Toru was stunned for a moment, and seemed to come back to his senses, and slowly sat up with his limp and trembling body.

"Hundreds of people have been killed or injured in the battle just now."

He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat off his face. He thought about it and said slowly with a trembling voice: "Now, including me, there are about two thousand people, but..."

Here, he suddenly paused, looked up at Uzumaki Yangjie, and forced an ugly smile on his face: "If I am not counted, there are about one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

"...What?"

Uzumaki Yangjie looked at his most incompetent and timid playmate since childhood. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what he said meant what he understood.

"Yang Jie, what's that look in your eyes?"

Uzumaki Toruya wiped the sweat from his forehead, his fat belly heaved slightly, and he kept the ugly smile on his face: "I'm an incompetent guy, a coward, I don't even know why I can climb to this position, I have always been hiding behind everyone and agreeing, never made my own decisions, always accepting the status and tasks given by others."

"But, at least this time, I want to make my own decision."

He looked up at the people in front of him, exhaled, and his expression gradually became calm: "Yes, that's right, I'm incompetent, I'm timid, but... I'm not cowardly."

"As the clan leader, Yang Jie can die, why can't I, the daimyo, die? So, you can leave, as long as a few people stay, no, just leave me..."

Snap!

Before the daimyo with full aura could finish his words, a cane hit him directly on the forehead, leaving a red stick-shaped mark on it.

"Hiss!"

Uzumaki Toru also gasped in pain, turned his head to look at the old man beside him, covered his forehead and almost cried: "Grand Elder, why are you hitting me?!"

"I'm hitting you, little bastard, what are you talking about?"

The elder looked even angrier than him, waving the cane and spitting, cursing: "You let us old guys abandon the land that our clan has guarded for generations and run away?"

"How can we old guys face our ancestors in the future!?"

I'm stuck, there's still one chapter, it will be a little later QAQ
