Chapter 44: Uzumaki Mito

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said, "Although that person does possess the characteristics of the Uzumaki Clan, his name is Abarai Renji, and I don't know if he has any relationship with the Uzumaki Clan."

Tsunade's expression shifted uncertainly upon hearing this.

She hoped that person was a survivor of the Uzumaki Clan; as long as one person from the Uzumaki Clan could survive, the guilt in her heart could be reduced a little.

Hatake Sakumo added, "Right, when I arrived at the Land of Whirlpools, I found that the situation in the Land of Whirlpools was completely different from when it was destroyed."

"On the outskirts of the Land of Whirlpools, a large area of building complexes has already been built, which seem to be residential houses; as for the inside, I haven't gone in yet."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked again: "The Land of Whirlpools was destroyed only a few days ago, right? They built houses so quickly? Could it be that they also have the First Hokage-sama's Wood Release?"

Tsunade: "..."

Her grandfather's Wood Release was not used for building houses!

But it couldn't be denied that the situation in the Land of Whirlpools had indeed brought them too much shock.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen thought deeper.

If it were just an organization, why build houses and develop the Land of Whirlpools?

And why put the Land of Whirlpools first when introducing their identity? I fear this organization has big plans...

With such a strange neighbor living in his backyard, Sarutobi Hiruzen had the feeling of being watched by Biwako behind his back while peeking.

This feeling was very bad!

However, Tsunade's words earlier had reminded him.

The Soul Reaper related to the Uzumaki Clan, the man suspected to be of the Uzumaki Clan.

Various clues seemed to reveal a relationship with the Uzumaki Clan.

It was just that what he couldn't understand was, if the Land of Whirlpools had such a force, how was it destroyed before?

He couldn't understand, and didn't know if it was really related to the Uzumaki Clan; after all, these were all his guesses.

But he knew that there was someone in Konoha who might be able to give him an answer.

The wife of the First Hokage, the former princess of the Uzumaki Clan, Uzumaki Mito-sama.

Senju base.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came here for the first time in a long while. ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
