Chapter 5 Red Hair... Tooth Marks... Past Events
Seeing more than a dozen Kusagakure Chunin rushing towards the explosion zone, Uchiha Mitsunori's lips unconsciously curled up, and he was certain: this is a sure thing. If that Iwagakure Jonin who was chasing him doesn't retreat as soon as possible, even if he survives, he will definitely be seriously injured.
Just as he was about to slip away quietly, he detected three ninjas rapidly approaching.
So he continued to lie low, pondering, "Judging by the amount of chakra, two of them should be Chunin, but the last one has an absurdly large amount of chakra—could he be a Kage-level ninja? But... how could Kusagakure have such a powerful ninja?... Red hair... teeth marks on his arm... could it be... she is... Karin Uzumaki's mother!"
Karin Uzumaki and her mother both possess the unique constitution of the Uzumaki clan. They have strong vitality and abundant chakra; a single bite can restore their injuries and chakra.
At this thought, a greedy idea stirred within Uchiha Mitsunori: "This woman, I'm determined to have her!"
As the three approached, he suddenly jumped out from his hiding place.
With his two heads after the transformation into a god, he activated "Sharingan Genjutsu" twice at the same time, instantly controlling two Kusagakure Chunin.
Startled by this sudden turn of events, Uzumaki Ei instinctively tried to adopt a defensive stance, but was unexpectedly knocked unconscious by the Kusagakure Chunin beside her.
Next, Uchiha Mitsunori controlled the two Kusagakure Chunin and prepared to question them for information. After all, this was a basic rule for ninjas: to obtain as much information as possible in order to increase the success rate of the mission.
"What are your names?"
"Maono"
"Muto"
"What changes have occurred in Iwagakure's deployment on the eastern battlefield in the last two days?"
"The number of times Iwagakure has attacked Konoha's strongholds... has increased somewhat..."
Uchiha Mitsumine wanted to continue asking for information, but four more Kusagakure ninjas appeared in the distance, one of whom appeared to be a Jonin.
Time was of the essence, and he could not continue to gather intelligence, so he made a decisive move and continued to use illusion magic to control Maono and Muto to walk towards a relatively dense patch of grass.
There, let them slit their own throats with kunai.
The pain instantly jolted the two men awake. Their eyes were filled with fear and struggle, as if they wanted to say something, but blood gushed out from their necks like a spring, quickly staining the grass beneath them red.
Having done all this, Uchiha Mitsunori did not linger at all and quickly walked to the side of the unconscious Uzumaki Megumi.
He crouched down, lifted her arm, and gently bit it.
In an instant, a warm power surged into his body, and the weakness he felt vanished as quickly as morning mist. His chakra began to recover steadily, and even his eye power recovered somewhat.
So he quickly checked the system panel!
Host: Uchiha Mitsumine
Life: 520/520
Chakra: 996/996
Eye Power: 598/958
......
A dozen seconds later, four Kusagakure ninja passed by. One of them, a Kusagakure Jonin, twitched his nose slightly, as if he had smelled the blood in the air. His expression hardened, and he immediately jumped to the top of a tree, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
However, before he could find the source of the bloodstains, a series of explosions in the distance caught his attention. After weighing his options, he had no choice but to lead his squad quickly towards the blast zone.
The number of Kusagakure ninjas here is increasing, and their strength is growing stronger. It's not safe for us to stay here any longer.
Two minutes later, Uchiha Mitsunori disguised himself as an ordinary Kusagakure genin. Then he picked up Uzumaki Megumi and quickly moved eastward.
The Land of Grass is just a small country, and it is powerless to stop the war between the two major powers, Konoha and Iwagakure.
Left with no other choice, they had to temporarily cede the eastern part of the Land of Grass to serve as the battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure. This was precisely why the Uchiha Triumvirate chose to relocate eastward. Relatively speaking, there would be fewer Grass Village ninja there, making his actions safer.
He carried Uzumaki Megumi and ran for over five minutes until the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the sounds of battle explosions ceased. He slowed his pace and woke Uzumaki Megumi from his arms. After all, carrying someone while fleeing would be extremely inconvenient in the event of a sudden battle.
He gently patted Uzumaki Megumi's cheek and said, "Wake up...stop pretending."
When Huiyi opened her eyes, her gaze was filled not only with wariness and hostility, but also with a hint of disgust.
She stared at Uchiha Mitsunori and said coldly, "Let me go, you bastard from Konoha! I will never trust you. Your Konoha betrayed the alliance, causing the destruction of our country and the tragic deaths of countless clansmen. We will settle this score sooner or later!"
Seeing the other party's agitated state, Uchiha Mitsunori frowned slightly and said patiently, "I understand how you feel. If you want to hate, you should hate Hiruzen Sarutobi and those Konoha high-ranking officials. Konoha has not wronged the Uzumaki clan. At least your in-laws, the Senju clan, were almost wiped out because of you."
Uzumaki Megumi was somewhat annoyed: "Hmph, I don't believe a single word you Konoha people say. You think you can fool me like this? Don't dream!"
Uchiha Mitsumine gazed intently into her eyes and said earnestly, "The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, died under suspicious circumstances. Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, as the Hokage's guards, bore undeniable responsibility. Later, Hiruzen Sarutobi took Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya as his disciples, thus gaining the support of the Senju clan and becoming the Third Hokage. But as time passed, Tsunade and the others came of age, which threatened Hiruzen Sarutobi's position as Hokage!"
Huiyi Uzumaki was somewhat confused, her expression slightly disdainful: "What does this have to do with our Uzumaki clan?"
Uchiha Mitsunori continued to stare into her eyes, and Uzumaki Megumi felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, so she lowered her head slightly.
"Before you destroyed your country, you came to Konoha Village seeking help. Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, refused to provide assistance, which greatly displeased the Senju clan. They spontaneously organized more than a thousand people to go and support the Land of Whirlpools, but all of them died. This made the Senju clan eager to reclaim the Hokage position."
"Then, the Second Shinobi World War broke out. Hiruzen Sarutobi, citing insufficient achievements, ordered Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya to lead the Senju clan against Amegakure. In this battle, the Senju clan suffered heavy casualties. This reminded the Senju clan of the power of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi proposed a human experimentation plan using Hashirama cells; and the participants in the experiment were Senju clan members from the Anbu; as a result, all of them died, and the Senju clan's influence in the upper echelons of Konoha was wiped out."
Hearing about the Senju clan's tragic fate piqued Megumi's curiosity, and she asked in a low voice, "And then?"
"At that time, the leader of the Senju clan was Mito Uzumaki. She was Hashirama Senju's wife and also the princess of your Uzumaki clan. The destruction of the Land of Whirlpools and the heavy casualties of the Senju clan dealt her a great blow, causing her to lose the will to live. But she still left a contingency plan for your Uzumaki clan, which is the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina Uzumaki."
"But a Jinchuriki dies when separated from a Tailed Beast, so Mito Uzumaki died. But what she didn't expect was that with her death, the Senju clan also lost its most important deterrent. On August 10 of the same year, the Senju clan leader Nawaki died 'accidentally,' and in December of the same year, Tsunade's lover Dan Kato died 'accidentally.' Immediately afterwards, Tsunade left Konoha Village on the grounds of suffering from hemophobia, thus saving the remaining members of the Senju clan."
Huiyi was silent for a moment. She seemed to understand that what the other party said was true, but years of hatred made it difficult for her to compromise easily.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You! Why are you telling me all this?"
Uchiha Mitsumine said with a serious expression, "I want you to understand that your true enemy is Hiruzen Sarutobi. Our Uchiha clan doesn't have a good relationship with him, so we have a common enemy, which provides a basis for cooperation. I believe you know the strength of the Uchiha clan; if you want revenge, you can't do without us!"
The Land of Whirlpools has been destroyed for over 14 years, and the Uzumaki clan has scattered to various places, barely surviving by relying on other forces. Having endured so much hardship, she couldn't fathom what they possessed that would make the Uchiha clan covet them.
Thinking about this, Uzumaki Megumi asked somewhat uncertainly, "What do you want us to do?"
Uchiha Mitsumine smiled slightly: "I want you... to be my woman..."
