Chapter 392: Xuanwo Mizuto's Concern

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

"Mizuto Ayi, what are you doing standing at the doorway? Come in and sit down quickly."

Lian Ye had just returned when he saw Xuanwo Mizuto standing at the doorway with a worried expression.

Xuanwo Mizuto nodded and followed Lian Ye into the courtyard.

Feijian, that old youngster, wasn't home; he was probably off to the Laboratory again.

Otherwise, how could the aunt be left standing at the doorway?

"Mizuto Ayi, have some tea," Lian Ye said warmly, placing the hot tea before her.

Xuanwo Mizuto glanced at the teacup on the table, feeling no desire to drink.

"Mizuto Ayi, what happened?"

Lian Ye sensed something was off and asked instinctively.

It was his first time seeing the aunt so unsettled.

It must have been something serious.

"Lian Ye, I have this feeling that something bad is about to happen…"

Xuanwo Mizuto voiced the thought in her heart.

She had originally come to inquire about the situation, not expecting anyone to be home.

The oppressive feeling in her heart made her toss and turn, unable to sleep.

In the depths of fate, a bad event was about to unfold.

If it were someone else, they might think Xuanwo Mizuto was hallucinating.

But Lian Ye didn't think so.

Sometimes a person's sixth sense is extremely accurate.

If one feels that something bad is about to happen, there's no need to doubt—it will indeed occur very soon.

For Xuanwo Mizuto, the only things that could cause her worry are her clan members and relatives.

Senju Hashirama is now retired in Iron Country with Madara Uchiha, so no problem could arise.

Meanwhile, Shengshu is still attending school, and Gangshou is gambling at a casino, so there are no issues either.

It now seems only her clan members remain.

Calculating the timeline, the Whirlpool Country's near-extinction has occurred within the past one or two years.

If Mizuto Ayi's feeling is correct, it means the Uzumaki Clan is facing an extinction crisis.

The Whirlpool Country is a solitary island.

If surrounded on all sides, it could be wiped out in a short time.

Even rescue would be too late!

"Mizuto Ayi, try to relax," Lian Ye said softly, comforting her.

He didn't tell Xuanwo Mizuto his speculation; even if he said it, there would be no evidence to prove it.

It would only add to the aunt's worry, so it's better to resolve the matter himself.

For now, he should go find Zhi Cun Tuan Cang to discuss this.

After Lian Ye offered some comfort, Xuanwo Mizuto left.

Hokage Office.

"You say the Uzumaki Clan will be exterminated?!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang looked at Lian Ye in disbelief, his voice unintentionally rising a few degrees.

What a joke!

As everyone knows, the Whirlpool Country is an ally of Konoha, so how could other nations dare to act against it?

Aren't they afraid of retaliation?

Moreover, the Uzumaki Clan possesses powerful sealing Ninjutsu, allowing them to hold out until Konoha's support arrives.

Even if they were truly attacked by an enemy nation, extermination would be impossible.

"Lian Ye, did you oversleep and get confused?" Yuanfei Rizhan teased with a smile, beginning to explain the stakes.

"The Whirlpool Country is Konoha's ally; other nations wouldn't dare act against it,"

Both agreed that Lian Ye must have dozed off and become bewildered.

He was speaking whatever he dreamed.

"My Kaleidoscope can briefly foresee the future," Lian Ye said calmly, "I saw the scene of the Whirlpool Country's destruction."

Anyway, they didn't know about the ability he just mentioned.

Whatever ability it is, doesn't he decide its validity?

At those words, Zhi Cun Tuan Cang and Yuanfei Rizhan's expressions instantly grew serious.

When Kaleidoscope Sharingan was mentioned, they had no doubt about the truth of his words.

Upon reflection, Lian Ye would never joke about such a matter.

Thus, the Uzumaki Clan truly faces extermination!

"Lian Ye, do you know the exact time?" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang asked with a serious expression.

If they know when the Uzumaki Clan will be exterminated, Konoha Village can prepare in advance.

"The specifics are unclear; it could be within this period," Lian Ye shook his head.

If it weren't for Mizuto Ayi, he would have forgotten this matter entirely.

He had thought the death of the Three-Tails would deter Water Country, but it seems ineffective.

Or perhaps more than just Water Country is involved.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang nodded, "I understand; I'll arrange the manpower right now."

If it were anyone else, they would absolutely need to verify the truth of these words.

But Lian Ye's words are an exception…

He would never make jokes with such words.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang has unconditional trust in Lian Ye.

It can be said that Zhi Cun Tuan Cang will be wary of Ri Zhan, fearing Ri Zhan will take his position.

But he would never guard against Lian Ye.

Since the moment Lian Ye recommended himself to Teacher Feijian for the Hokage position.

Their relationship was no longer that of ordinary comrades.

"Should we tell Teacher Feijian about this?" Yuanfei Rizhan asked suddenly.

He had already developed the habit of consulting the teacher before undertaking major matters.

"This matter should not be known to others," Lian Ye shook his head, "just bring all the ANBU and Uchiha Jing."

The time when the Uzumaki Clan was annihilated is unknown; it's best not to raise an army.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang guessed his thought and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Alright."

Yuanfei Rizhan was a little hesitant, but seeing that the two had already discussed it,

there was nothing else to do.

……

Thunder Country, Cloud Hidden Village.

"Lord Raikage, this is a document sent from Water Country."

The Yunyin Shijie handed over the document in his hand.

"Water Country?" Kage opened the document with puzzlement.

When he read the contents clearly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Kirigakure Village invites Cloud Hidden Village to jointly attack Whirlpool Country?!"

Kage quickly calmed down and continued reading the document.

In short, Kirigakure Village covets the Uzumaki Clan's powerful Sealing Technique.

As long as they possess the Sealing Technique, they can solve the jinchuriki problem.

The document mentioned that Konoha Village holds the Uzumaki Sealing Technique, so the Nine-Tails has never gone berserk.

Unlike their jinchuriki, which occasionally go berserk and often cause huge losses to the village.

Therefore, Kirigakure Village invites Cloud Hidden Village to jointly attack Whirlpool Country.

Kage finished the document and fell into silence.

To be honest, he felt a bit tempted.

In the last war, after Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao perished, all the Six Paths Ninja Tools they carried were taken by Konoha.

Including the Amber Pure Bottle that can seal a Tailed Beast.

Originally, the Amber Pure Bottle was a sacred artifact meant to stay in the village to seal Tailed Beasts, but Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao secretly took it onto the battlefield.

In the end, Cloud Hidden Village painfully lost all High-End Combat Power and the powerful Six Paths Ninja Tools.

It was a direct loss to the grandmother's house.

Now the village has no Amber Pure Bottle, and the Eight-tailed occasionally goes berserk within the village.

This caused a series of economic losses, but fortunately Cloud Hidden Village is now wealthy, so a little loss isn't a big deal.

But if they possessed the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique…

they would never have to worry about Tailed Beasts going berserk again.

Thinking of this, Kage finally made up his mind.

The village's development over the years made him feel he was capable again.

Let Whirlpool Country first experience its (the village's) strength!
