Fire Country, Northwest Frontier Outpost.

Although the defection of Kaede Uchiha and Ling Uchiha caused a commotion, after confirming that they could not catch up, they could only send the news back to the village and hand it over to the higher-ups to decide.

This incident was also a blow to the Uchiha clan.

However, it does not affect the overall situation.

Makoto Uchiha, Kakashi, and Shisui escorted their troops to the outpost as scheduled, and then began the investigation mission.

At the suggestion of Makoto Uchiha, they split into two ways.

Makoto Uchiha travels to Tanokuni to find Tsunade.

Kakashi, on the other hand, searches the border for Orochimaru's traces along the border.

......

The Land of Grass.

A small country located at the junction of fire, rain and earth.

Although the country of grass is small, there are also ninja villages, and some of them are reckless.

The land area of the Land of Grass is less than that of a small city in the Land of Fire, and the economy is relatively backward and the population is sparse.

However, the Grass Ninja Village has hundreds of ninjas, which is a very large scale in a small country.

After all, the Rain Country, which is the most powerful of the small countries, does not have such a high proportion and number of ninjas.

It's just that although there are many ninjas in Grass Ninja Village, the quality is extremely low.

The strength of the grass ninja village is not strong, but it is extremely aggressive, and often takes on some tasks that exceed the scope of ability.

This also results in a large number of ninjas, but a low survival rate, and many missions are hard stacked with human lives.

Makoto Uchiha's original plan was to head northwest to Tanokuni to find Tsunade's traces.

But the latest news came from Jiraiya that Tsunade had moved southwest.

Then she either entered the territory of the Land of Fire, or passed through the Land of Grass to the Land of Rivers, or the Land of Wind.

So Makoto Uchiha first entered the country of grass to see the situation.

There is no such thing as a daimyo in the country of grass, and the leader of the village of Kusanobi is the actual leader of the country of grass.

Kusanobu Village is also the most developed place in the country of Kusanobi.

Makoto Uchiha walked into Kusanobu Village, the ground was still a stone-paved road, and it was potholed, and it looked like it was a little old.

Walking all the way down the street, a few houses next to each other saw ninjas with missing arms and legs.

From time to time, wails and cries of pain came from the room.

The atmosphere in the whole village was somewhat depressing.

Makoto Uchiha is brightly dressed, and his image and temperament are incompatible with the entire Grass Ninja Village.

As soon as he stepped into the village, he attracted everyone's attention.

There was a hint of malice in some people's eyes.

Although Makoto Uchiha looks young and not strong, the ninja sword hanging from his waist and his calm bearing make the people around him dare not underestimate him.

Especially Konoha's forehead protection, which made everyone's hearts sink.

The name of Konoha is terrifying to the ninjas of the small country.

The biggest dream of the Grass Ninja Village is only to become the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world.

And for Konoha who stood at the top of the ninja world with one enemy and four in the three battles, even with the arrogance of the grass ninja village, he didn't dare to argue with Konoha.

Unlike other big villages, there are no guards and curfews, and ninjas and merchants from any village can come and go at will.

After all, only in this way can we increase the flow of people and have more chances of receiving tasks.

For the Grass Ninja Village, as long as there is a task, they are willing to accept it no matter how little the reward is.

In troubled times, the lives of village ninjas are the least valuable.

More deaths can also reduce material consumption.

Makoto Uchiha took a walk around Kusanoshi Village.

There is only one casino and two hotels in the entire village.

And the largest building in Kusanobu Village turned out to be a hospital.

However, Makoto Uchiha thought about it carefully and felt that it was very reasonable.

According to Tsunade's philanthropic spirit of fraternity, which is determined to spread charity throughout the ninja world, as long as there is a casino, she should not dislike it.

As long as you pass by the Grass Ninja Village, there is a high probability that you will come to gamble on two.

Makoto Uchiha thinks he can wait in Kusa Ninja Village, and if Tsunade doesn't come, he will wait for news from Jiraiya.

After walking around, Makoto Uchiha went to a meatball shop to rest.

This kind of food is really ordinary, and it feels like it's all over the ninja world.

It's just that the balls here can't be compared to the three-color balls of Konoha at all.

The variety is single, and the taste is average.

However, when he goes out, Makoto Uchiha is not particularly particular.

He drank tea and ate meatballs, looking at the passers-by who were hurrying up and down the street.

"Hurry up! Don't grind! ”

"Hurry up! There are still a bunch of wounded people waiting for you in the hospital! ”

"If you don't cure them, you won't eat today's dinner!"

While Makoto Uchiha was leisurely eating meatballs, three vicious ninjas pushed and shoved a woman holding a baby.

The woman was thin and weak, and her beautiful face was not half beautiful because of her pale face and sunken eye sockets.

She had a stiff expression on her face, her numb eyes out of focus, and she looked like a walking corpse.

The woman had a rare red hair, but due to malnutrition, the hair was coarse, and the ends were dry and yellow.

It's already December, and the weather is a little cold.

But the woman wore only a shabby short-sleeved shirt.

What made people feel terrifying was that her white arms were covered with dense tooth marks, some of which were already scarred, some of which were still oozing blood, and they looked like new wounds.

In addition to her arms, her neck was exposed, and there were tooth marks on her calves.

"Wow~"

During the pushing, the baby in the woman's arms was awakened and burst into tears.

Hearing the baby's cry, the woman tightened her grip on the baby's coat.

Looking at the baby's red hair, which was more bright than herself, her numb eyes suddenly revealed pity and pain.

"Don't cry! Cry again and strangle you! Something that wastes food! ”

One of them said angrily that human lives were not worth anything in the Grass Ninja Village, and they would not have a little mercy.

Makoto Uchiha looked at this scene and suddenly lost the last bit of appetite.

His brow furrowed, then he put down the balls and teacups and watched the group leave.

"Could this be ......" Makoto Uchiha's eyes changed.

Red hair, tooth marks, babies.

These things are combined, and Makoto Uchiha thinks of the aroma phosphorus in the original book.

If Naruto's childhood, who lost his parents, was miserable, then the environment in which Kaori grew up was hell.

The country of Vortex was besieged by many countries and led to the destruction of the country, and at that time, it seemed that there were not many Konoha ninjas who came to the rescue except for the ninjas of the original Thousand Hands clan.

This also led to the fact that the survivors of the Uzumaki clan were basically wandering in the ninja world and did not defect to Konoha.

The specific details of Makoto Uchiha are not very clear either.

However, he was very interested in the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique.

In addition to the sealing technique mastered by Uzumaki Kushina, there must be many more sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

It's just that he doesn't have time to set foot on the wreckage of the Vortex Country to find something now.

"If you see your fellow clan, Senior Kushina should be very happy!"

The direction in which Makoto Uchiha had just left and the group had left, he heard the word "hospital".

"No need to look for it!"

Thinking of this, Makoto Uchiha took out a bill with the smallest denomination of five hundred taels from his wallet and slapped it on the table, and then rushed in the direction of the hospital.

Looking at the back of Makoto Uchiha's departure, the two men sitting at the next table whispered to each other.

"Boss, how about this? It looks like he's rich! Do you want to ......?"

It was a young man in his twenties who spoke.

"Forget the third child, don't make trouble, I'll stop when the last vote is done."

The young man who answered was a middle-aged man in his forties with a cross-shaped scar on his cheek.

The young man seemed a little unwilling, and then persuaded: "Since it's the last vote, it's better to earn more!" ”

"That boy is a ninja of Konoha and you don't want to die!?" The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"What happened to the ninja of Konoha? We're just asking him for money to buy the road, not for his life!

This kind of humiliating thing, he will definitely not make a big deal about it when he goes back.

And I know that Konoha's middle ninja are all wearing vests.

That kid looked like a shinobi, and it was estimated that he was a stunned young man who ran out not long after graduation.

Boss, weren't you a shinobi before? After so many years of dealing with the dead, are you still afraid of forbearance? ”

There was a hint of excitement in the young man's words.

The middle-aged man frowned, and seemed to be a little hesitant.

When the young man saw this, his heart was overjoyed.

However, the middle-aged man pondered for a long time, shook his head, and said:

"This time the harvest is very big! You can't be too greedy!

Third, if you save some money after the breakup, it will be enough for you to take a wife and live in peace for decades.

Because it was the last vote, I didn't want any surprises.

To tell you the truth, I'm not a ninja because I'm afraid of death, so how good it is to go home to accompany my wife and tease the children!

When you're my age, you'll know that there are many adventures, but only once!

All we have to do now is wait for the buyer to come and deliver the things to him!" ”

The middle-aged man said earnestly, patting the long strip-shaped package he was carrying behind his back.

"Yes."

The young man lowered his head, but his eyes kept changing, and it was obvious that he had not listened to a word.

......

Makoto Uchiha came to the gate of the hospital in Kusanobu Village.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of potions, as well as a faint smell of blood.

There was a constant wail from the hospital.

Makoto Uchiha opens the perception of [Blood Pursuit].

In his perception, the chakra reaction of the ninjas throughout the hospital was weak.

The middle ninja is rare, and the upper ninja is even more none.

In the midst of this, he felt two special chakras.

"This feeling... It's them! ”

Makoto Uchiha raised an eyebrow and entered the hospital.

Soon he was outside the last room on the left side of the second floor of the hospital.

"Ah~"

"Oh~ it hurts!"

"I can't do it! I can't help it! ”

"Hurry up and give it to me! I'm going to die! ”

Screams of pain kept coming from the room.

Makoto Uchiha walked in and took a look, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

There were more than a dozen beds in the ward, and the injured ninjas were waiting in line at one of the beds.

The red-haired woman she had seen before was sitting on the hospital bed, her sleeves rolled up completely, and the wounded were biting her arm and sucking her blood.

Chakra and life force flowed through her blood into the ninja's body.

In Makoto Uchiha's perception, the red-haired woman's breath weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the chakra of the injured ninjas recovered quickly, and the expressions that were still in pain just now instantly became calm.

The red-haired woman's numb face turned paler with pain.

The little baby beside her seemed to feel its mother's pain and began to cry.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"It's my turn!"

"Wait a minute! I'm not okay yet! ”

Looking at the scrambled ninjas, Makoto Uchiha stepped forward.

"Who are you?"

"Konoha ninja?!"

"What are you going to do?!"

Makoto Uchiha pushed the crowd away and pulled the redhead woman up.

At the same time, he injected his own chakra into her body.

Makoto Uchiha has also dabbled in medical ninjutsu because he has learned the 'art of physical activation', and has learned basic medical ninjutsu.

After all, the basis of medical ninjutsu is the precise control of chakra.

This can be used in many ninjutsu.

Feeling the warmth of the chakra in her body, the red-haired woman was slightly stunned, and looked up at Makoto Uchiha's reassuring smile.

"Take your child and come with me!"

The red-haired woman's numb eyes suddenly burst into light, and she obediently hugged the baby on the bed tightly.

Makoto Uchiha led her out of the hospital room.

"What are you doing?!"

"You can't take her!"

"Ahh

The injured ninjas around them were suddenly shocked and angry, and the pain made them lose their minds and surrounded Makoto Uchiha.

Rumble!

Makoto Uchiha's body suddenly released a powerful wind to escape the chakra, and the air flow blew the grass ninja to the ground, screaming in pain.

"Ahh

"My hands!"

......

The red-haired woman was startled by the oncoming wind, but the moment it touched her body, it softened, and after passing through her body, it became violent again.

Although she is not a ninja, she also knows how powerful this chakra control can be.

Looking at the ninjas who were scattered and screaming in pain, there was a joy in her eyes.

Makoto Uchiha continued to walk outside, his left hand continuing to inject chakra into the redhead's body.

However, he always controlled the amount of chakra he hawed and slowly helped the ginger woman.

"The ninja of Konoha! What are you doing?! ”

"This is Grass Ninja Village, not you Konoha!"

A ninja dressed as a doctor heard the cry of pain and rushed to stop in front of Makoto Uchiha.

At this time, three vicious-looking ninjas arrived.

It was the three grass ninjas who were pushing the red-haired woman before.

After seeing the three of them, the red-haired woman's body shook subconsciously.

"She's from the Uzumaki clan, and I'm from Konoha! The four generations of Hokage had issued orders.

Konoha ninjas are obligated to protect and bring Konoha back to the Uzumaki if they encounter a wanderer.

I explain it like this, can you understand it? Makoto Uchiha said in a flat tone.

"Four generations of Hokage... Golden Glitter ?!! The ninja dressed as a doctor heard Makoto Uchiha's explanation, and his momentum suddenly weakened by three points.

"You... How do you prove she's a Vortex! ”

"Don't think that if you're Konoha a person, you can do whatever you want."

"If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I... We ......"

The three vicious-looking ninjas immediately retorted.

One of them was about to say threatening words, but when he saw Makoto Uchiha's cold eyes, his body trembled, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and swallowed the second half of the sentence back.

Makoto Uchiha's eyes were cold, and in his scarlet eyes, three magatama slowly turned.

"Writing Wheel Eye ?!!"

Makoto Uchiha pulled the redhead towards the staircase outside.

Feeling the powerful momentum of Makoto Uchiha, the three of them broke out in a cold sweat, their eyes kept changing, and their faces were extremely ugly.

Although they tried to stop it, their feet seemed to have roots, growing on the ground, and they didn't dare to move.

When Makoto Uchiha walked down the stairs, the three of them went straight to their feet and sat down on the ground.

At that moment, they really thought they were going to die!

In the face of absolute strength, they feel like an ant that can be crushed at any time.

Listening to the constant cries of pain coming from the ward, the three of them felt like they were separated from each other.

It's just that the three of them don't know that Makoto Uchiha has planted illusions in their minds, and they only have the last three days left in their lives.

Makoto Uchiha led the red-haired woman out of the hospital gate and towards the entrance of the village.

The village of Kusanobi is not far from the border of the Fire Country, and Makoto Uchiha plans to send them to the border post first, and when there is news of Tsunade, they will return to Konoha together.

"You shouldn't be a stranger to my forehead, right? I'm Konoha Konoba's Kaminobi Makoto Uchiha.

Uzumaki Kushinai is the wife of four generations of adults, and she should be very happy to see someone of her kind!

Would you like to come back to Konoha with me? ”

Makoto Uchiha pointed to his forehead.

"Jiu... Sinnai? Kushina! The red-haired woman's eyes lit up, and then she nodded heavily, "Thank you very much!" I'm willing to go to Konoha with you! ”

"I don't know what to call it?"

"My name is Mano, and this is my daughter Xiangfu! Whirlpool...... This surname, I haven't heard it for a long time! ”

Mano Uzumaki replied, her eyes filled with something called hope, no longer like a puppet like she had just been.

She didn't doubt Makoto Uchiha's words in the slightest.

Because a strong man like Makoto Uchiha, whether he was lying to her or not, she couldn't resist.

Already in hell, can it end worse?

As a Vortex Clan, it is a disaster to not have the ability to protect yourself.

For the sake of her daughter not being like her, Uzumaki is really willing to gamble and believe in the young man in front of her.

......

"Your Excellency doesn't take our Grass Ninja Village too seriously, right?!"

Makoto Uchiha walked down the street with Mano Uzumaki.

A grass ninja in his early thirties, Shinobu Murakami, arrived with a group of ninjas and stopped in front of Makoto Uchiha.

Shaki Mano looked terrified and grabbed Makoto Uchiha's sleeve tightly.

"Who are you?" Makoto Uchiha looked at the man opposite him expressionlessly.

He was in a good mood today, but after seeing what happened to Mano Uzumaki, he wasn't in a good mood.

"I'm Naoki Kanda from Kusa Ninja Village!

Do you want to take away our people from the Grass Ninja Village like this?

Please give your name! ”

Kanda Naoki, as the leader of the Grass Ninja Village, although he didn't want to offend Konoha, but since his subordinates had already come to report, he couldn't pretend not to know.

At least you have to know who made the move, if the ordinary Konoha ninja waits for him to leave the village, he can do it again.

"Shangshinobi?" Makoto Uchiha chuckled, "My name is Makoto Uchiha!" If you have any grievances against me, just go to Konoha and find me! ”

"Makoto Uchiha?!"

"Sword of the Wind Makoto Uchiha?!"

When Kanda Naoki heard Makoto Uchiha's name, he subconsciously took half a step back.

Although the Grass Ninja Village is targeting the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world, he also knows that the ninjas of the five major countries are not at the same level as the ninjas of these small villages at all.

The battle of Makoto Uchiha's fame was to kill hundreds of Iwakushi ninjas with one enemy and hundreds.

In addition, Makoto Uchiha led more than 500 Konoha ninjas to fight against the Iwakuin troops, which were nearly four times the size of Konoha, and dragged until the golden flash rushed to support, and finally annihilated the Iwakuin troops.

After the battle of the gods, the prestige of the golden flash and the sword of the wind is known to everyone in the entire ninja world.

"You say, 'Your people'? Don't you know she's from the Uzumaki?

If you send her back to Konoha, you will not only get Konoha paid, but you will also get four generations of friendship.

But what did you do with her?

I'll take her away, it's a good thing for Kusa Ninja Village!

I hope you don't know what's wrong! ”

Makoto Uchiha said lightly.

"Fart! She's from my Grass Ninja Village, you think you can ...... with a few words from you?"

Seeing that Kanda Naoki was shocked, the other upper shinobi next to him, Nakagawa Yuichi, suddenly shouted.

He has always wanted to be the leader of the village, although he knows that he can't offend Konoha, but standing up and showing it at this time is conducive to his competition for the position of leader.

Anyway, he understands Kanda Naohui's character, and he will definitely endure it.

When the time comes, compared to him who fights for the sake of the village, Kanda's prestige will be severely hit.

However, what Nakagawa Yuichi didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, the person was gone.

Grunt!

Uichi Nakagawa's head rolled down to Kanda's feet.

Zheng~

Makoto Uchiha sheathed the Tengokuken.

"Udaichi!"

"He killed Utaichi!"

......

The grass ninjas were suddenly shocked, except for a few people who drew their swords and glared at Makoto Uchiha, the vast majority of them felt a chill in their necks and retreated in fear.

"You ......"

Kanda Naoki looked shocked, he didn't expect Makoto Uchiha to directly kill someone.

And he didn't react at all, doesn't this mean that it would be easy for Makoto Uchiha to kill him?

"What he said just now can be seen as a provocation to Konoha.

As soon as I had a whim, the village of Kusa Shinobi would disappear from the map.

If you don't believe me... You can try to stand in my way. ”

Makoto Uchiha said coldly and walked straight ahead, Uzumaki Mano following him closely.

The country of grass and Konoha are not friendly relations, and if he wants to destroy it, he will destroy it, it just depends on his mood.

Kanda's face was cloudy.

Face and life, he chose the latter.

He volunteered to get out of the way.

Seeing that the leader got out of the way, how could the rest of the people dare to say a word.

******

"Makoto-kun! I didn't expect us to meet again. ”

Makoto Uchiha had just left Kusanobu Village, and before he had gone far, he heard a voice that he had never heard before.

However, the tone of his voice made Makoto Uchiha feel very familiar.

Makoto Uchiha looked back and saw a woman with a beautiful face looking at him with interest.

The woman looks twenty-five or sixteen, about one meter seven tall, with nearly perfect body proportions, long hair like a waterfall, draped behind her, and the whole person looks very sexy.

Her eyes made Makoto Uchiha feel familiar.

"Orochimaru?"

Makoto Uchiha raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously spit out the name in his mouth.

The gorgeous woman's eyes lit up, and she stuck out her tongue and licked her rosy lips.

"I didn't expect that even if I appeared like this, Chengjun would be able to recognize it!"

Makoto Uchiha smiled, "After all, I ...... you to Orochimaru"

"You guys, hand over all the valuable things on you!"

Makoto Uchiha was interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

Five young men armed with short knives surrounded them.

Through perception, the five people are not even ninjas.

The smile on Orochimaru's face faded, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.
