Even if they are unwilling, the remaining enemies will be withdrawn. Even they left very quickly and without any delay...... Failure and embarrassment.

The Konoha Elite Dark Division, who had been waiting for their work, had already arrived near the Vortex Country, and Hanyu couldn't be sure when the support from Konoha would arrive because of the barrier before, but if they hadn't appeared when the barrier was lifted, there were only two reasons to explain

First, the three generations of Hokage wanted to abandon the remaining Uzumaki people, so there was no order to help; Second, the Shadow Ninja was negligent in their duties.

Konoha still has Uzumaki Mito there, so the first possibility won't happen, and because the first possibility won't happen, the second possibility won't happen either.

More than thirty Konoha ninjas wearing dark masks came to the location of Hanyu and the others as soon as the barrier was lifted.

The enemy chose to evacuate first, but Hanyu and the Uzumaki ninjas did not stop them.

"Hanyu-sama."

A shadow ninja led by the leader came to Hanyu's side, and he was supposed to be the captain of the operation this time.

"Everyone, set up a formation, give priority to blocking the sea area between the country of vortex and the country of fire, to ensure that the enemy will not go and return, and use a detour to break into the country of fire, our people will not be able to withstand that kind of pursuit." Hanyu said to the other party.

Although, given the current state of the enemy, such a thing is unlikely, it still needs to be just in case.

"Hanyu-sama...... I think the first goal now should be to pursue the remaining enemies, so that they can be cut off one by one in the future; The secondary goal is to clear the battlefield and call for help from the wounded who may be present; The most minor ...... It's the kind of conservative approach you're talking about.

If the barrier had been opened earlier, you wouldn't have suffered such casualties, and the enemy would have been besieged by us in time. The Shadow Ninja said.

Guard?

Hanyu frowned.

Although the Shadow Ninja has always been very indifferent when carrying out the Shadow Mission, this ninja's statement has nothing to do with indifference, which is clearly accusing Hanyu and Uzumaki of having a problem with their decision-making.

yes, it turns out that killing the enemy is the priority.

It turns out that the Shadow Ninja also needs to take credit and show his presence, or the Shadow Ninja doesn't understand the purpose of the operation, or does he think that the Uzumaki is something that can be exchanged for credit, or does he just like to kill?

Hanyu's calm mind was swept away, replaced by a cold light.

He shook the shark muscle in his hand a few times, then threw it behind him, and then pressed his idle palm lightly against the hilt of his sword.

"If the barrier is opened in advance, as you said, what will happen to the Vortex people who have not yet evacuated in time? Not to mention your ability to guard, compared to the powerful enchantment just now, your protection is not enough to be trusted.

And also...... Are you really a Shadow Ninja? ”

Hanyu felt that this shadow ninja was a bit too much, and the shadows that talked a lot were not good shadows, especially when they were on a mission.

Maybe he was a spy from some village? Is this a possibility?

Naturally, the ninja felt the unusually cold emotions transmitted from Hanyu's body...... It was something he thought he could fight, but it was something he couldn't actually fight against.

“…… Yes, Hanyu-sama, I'm the Dark Department who joined five years ago. ”

After five years of joining, the other party is now at least the leader of the dark department, and can be responsible for such operations, which shows that his ability is trustworthy.

"Promoted from the roots?"

Hanyu's choice of words is getting shorter and shorter, which ...... It's not a good sign.

"Not really."

As he spoke, he turned his shoulders sideways, revealing a simple line of a fire tattoo that had nothing but this pattern and no other signs, indicating that he should not have been at the root.

"Then let me ask you, what is the task entrusted to you by the three generations of Hokage?"

"Ensure the evacuation of the Uzumpire."

Needless to say, the three generations of Hokage will only make such a mission arrangement.

"The command of the scene is in your hands, or in my hands."

And this is a more important question, it determines whether Hanyu has the ability to punish or not, after all, he is no longer a ninja of the Shadows, and there is no subordinate relationship between Shadow Flow and the Shadows.

"In Hanyu-sama's hands."

"That'...... Do you have more questions? ”

“…… Without. ”

"So, carry out the order."

After saying that, Hanyu lowered his eyes slightly, and his narrow perspective was only fixed on the other party's feet. Next, either the shadow ninja turned around and carried out Hanyu's orders, or ......

He just turned around.

If the other party refuses to carry out Hanyu's orders, then he will never return to Konoha.

Fortunately...... He turned around.

As a result, the chill that Hanyu brought out of the night also dissipated or converged.

Hanyu let go of his sword, and after the Shadow Ninja went to guard the Coastal Pass, he himself led the remaining Uzumaki ninjas back to the village to search for the remaining survivors.

By the way, make up for those enemies who can still catch their breath but don't have time to evacuate.

And the remaining Uzumaki ninjas here, including the patriarch, there are eleven more.

…………

The village is still burning.

Hanyu walked over to a corpse and picked up another machete, staring at the large circle in the front of the broad blade before throwing it back next to the corpse.

Scrap copper and rotten iron.

"How many did you kill?"

Hanyu asked at Sakushige Hagi on the side.

"All dead, but I've only solved four." Qimu said.

"There are four of you and one of me, obviously you are more efficient than me, and the remaining two also died in the chaos...... Then the level of melons, fruits and vegetables this year is not very good, let's look at the next harvest. ”

As he spoke, Hanyu instructed Hachiki to repair his sword while he continued along the smoky streets.

The Uzumaki ninjas are not so much searching for and rescuing their potentially surviving companions as they are sorting out and recovering the remains of those companions, some of whom are no longer able to recover their remains...... Hanyu has broken his hand, and the battle just now can only be said to be tragic.

This is especially true for Uzumaki ninjas, who are more adept at auxiliary combat.

After walking some distance, Hanyu came to the front of the ancestral hall of the Uzumaki clan, and it was in this place that he first met Uzumaki Thirteenka. And now, he only saw the Vortex Patriarch who had returned here first.

"Patriarch, is there anything important here that hasn't been recycled?"

The old patriarch shook his head, "There are no more, valuable things have already been brought to Konoha a long time ago, and what is left here now is just an old civil engineering building that has been built for many years." ”

Originally, there were a lot of vortex secret techniques preserved in the ancestral hall, but because those things were important enough, they were taken away as soon as the migration plan began. Now that the Uzumaki Ancestral Hall has been emptied, there is naturally no such thing as the value that Hanyu thinks.

Everything here wasn't very important to Hanyu, but there were some things that were important enough to the old patriarch that he came here again.

I saw him throw away the crutches in his hand, bend down and slowly sweep away the rubble around the collapsed door, and then a heavy plaque buried underneath was revealed.

This is something that has been very old, and even the word "whirlpool" written on it is already a little blurred.

Then the old patriarch lifted it up, and then put it on his shoulder.

"Let's go, the last thing that should be brought to Konoha is this."

The Uzumaki Patriarch's back was straight, and his voice was particularly powerful when he spoke, and he didn't look like an elderly ninja who had been fighting all night.

Hanyu blinked, and said in his heart, if you have the strength, why do you need to use crutches?

However, man is this emotional creature, no matter how rickety or old he is, he can always carry what he should carry.

Hanyu also understood these things, so he didn't stretch out his hand on his own.

Soon after, Uzumaki finished the search, and Hachiki finished mending, so it was time for them to leave the country of Vortex.

"Are all the people who should be strangled?" Hanyu asked at Hagi.

"Of course."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, you don't have to swear by my offspring anymore, I'm sure."

Sakushige Hachiki finally understood Hanyu's routine.

Hanyu nodded, he still trusted Hagi very much...... If you can't even mend the knife, then this person in his last life (?) You deserve to wipe your neck.

Hachiki and Hanyu hung at the back of the line, the old patriarch carrying the plaque at the front, and the rest of the Uzumaki ninjas guarding his side, their expressions solemn as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

With the vast sea in front of you and the burning villages behind you, the time ahead of these whirlpools is as long as water and worth looking forward to, and the time that has passed is as blazing as fire and worth remembering.

…………

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"

Just as the whirlpools withdrew from the burning village, a muffled, barely audible voice rang out.

A blood-stained palm, fumbling around, and then grasping the hilt of a huge long knife, he barely stood up with this support.

He was covered in wounds, and his whole body looked like a bloody man.

No one understood why he was alive with such a serious injury, not even himself.

In short, Hanyu's sudden and hidden wind escape chakra mode did not kill him, and Hachiki Shuo Shigeru blocked his own offspring's mending knife...... Or he was not compensated, or he was not killed.

For him, it was a battle full of remorse, and if it weren't for his rash impulsiveness, maybe many things wouldn't have happened this way.

survived, perhaps to remember such remorse.

What was his name in the beginning?

He himself can't remember exactly, but now his name is "Pi", and then his name will be Ou (O), and one day......

Well, one day, who knows.

In the whirlpool village, the last person alive is actually a person who does not belong here.

The things in his hands were very heavy, and the feeling he felt in his body was even heavier, but even heavier than these was his mood.

The young ninja with a heavy metal cane on his lean, who smelled of blood that could not be concealed by the smoke of gunpowder, walked step by step through the fiery village.
