The Vortex Country is a small maritime island nation located in the eastern part of the Fire Country, founded by the former Uzumaki clan.

It's just that it became history earlier than the Fire Country.

As early as more than 20 years ago, during the Second Ninja War, the country of Vortex was besieged by a group of various countries and died overnight.

The Uzumaki clan, which is famous for mastering powerful sealing techniques in the ninja world, was also wiped out because of this, leaving only a scattered clansman scattered throughout the ninja world.

Since that war, the island where the country of Vortex is located has become a barren and buried land, and no one has set foot in it for many years.

Now, the figure of a Shouhe suddenly appeared at the ruins of the Vortex Country, and it was suspected that the human pillar force was out of control and ran wild.

This news immediately made the major ninja villages unable to sit still.

During the Fourth Shinobi War, the Akatsuki organization almost collected the nine-tailed beasts.

Although Akatsuki's conspiracy was bankrupt with Payne's death, three pillars still fell into Akatsuki's hands.

They are the one-tailed, seven-tailed, and nine-tailed human pillar forces.

When the ninja alliance invaded Yuyin Village and destroyed the Akatsuki organization, the woman codenamed "Angel" in Akatsuki escaped smoothly and took the three Zhuli with her.

Since then, "Angel" Xiao Nan has been wanted by the major ninja villages.

Now she's finally forced to show her feet.

After getting the news, several major ninja villages held a remote video conference as soon as possible.

At the meeting, the shadows of each village reached a consensus and put the Uchiha's problem aside for the time being. The top priority is to capture Xiao Nan and recapture the three pillars.

After all, the three tailed beasts, one-tailed, seven-tailed, and nine-tailed, among the nine tailed beasts, are relatively strong.

Especially the Nine-Tails, whoever masters its power can easily destroy a ninja village or even a country.

If these three tailed beasts fell into the hands of the Uchiha clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thus.

In order to prevent the Uchiha from taking the lead in the first place, each village immediately sent its own elite troops after the meeting and rushed to the ruins of the Vortex Country.

Also got the news, there were Obito and others.

"I've been hiding for so long, so I was hiding in this kind of place."

Obito's eyes flashed, and when he led Jue, Oni Shark, Jiaodu, and the four-tailed man Zhu Li Lao Zi who was controlled by him, he killed him.

He wants not only the tailed beast, but also the reincarnation eye that is more important than the tailed beast.

The land of water, the village of Wuyin.

This past winter, although it was very cold in the physical sense, in the hearts of many fog ninjas and villagers, it was the warmest winter in the past few years.

Under the governance of the five generations of Mizukage Illumination, the fog is no longer the blood mist it used to be, but has implemented a policy of peace and openness.

In just one month, both the economy and the population have recovered.

But.

The previous Mizukage really tossed the fog hide too badly, and the elite ninja either died or fled, which can be said to be one in ten.

How serious is the brain drain in the fog?

Let's take a simple example.

During the period of the Blood Mist, Momochi, who had the name of "ghost man", never killed everyone in the same period in the graduation exam, which directly caused the ninja to be cut off that year.

The once famous Ninja Sword Seven was the trump card of Fog Hidden Village, but now let alone the Seven, even the three of them can't get together.

This kind of situation of withering talents cannot be solved for a while and a half, and can only be handed over to a long time.

Even if it is optimistically estimated, it will take at least ten years for Wuyin to return to the glorious era when the strong were like clouds.

Inside the spacious Mizukage office.

Terumi leaned back in her chair and rubbed her forehead with her hands, her eyebrows full of haggardness.

Being in the position of the water shadow is not as beautiful as many people think. The intense work day and night made her physically and mentally exhausted, even harder than going to the battlefield.

Just now, Terumi participated in the remote video conference of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and was asked by the other four shadows to send the Fog Hidden Force to the former site of the Vortex Country to besiege Xiao Nan, the Angel of Dawn.

But she refused without hesitation, and once again stated that Kigakuin did not intend to participate in any kind of war.

This is not because of how peace-loving Wuyin is, but because Wuyin really has no one anymore and can no longer withstand consumption.

That's when it happened.

"Mizukage-sama."

The veteran of the Mist Hidden Upper Ninja walked into the office, and there were several teenagers who came with him, all of whom were good seedlings of some ninjas.

They had come to be received by Mizukage.

"Let's get started." Terumi nodded at Qing, showing a curious look at the teenagers in front of her.

"This little ghost is the younger brother of the Ghost Lantern Full Moon, Ghost Lantern Shuiyue, although he is still young, he has already shown a talent that is not inferior to his brother. It's a pity that the personality is a little impatient and impulsive. ”

Qing pointed to a white-haired and purple-eyed teenager on his left.

"Hmph."

When Ghost Lantern Shuiyue heard Qing's evaluation of him, she immediately snorted unhappily, revealing her sharp teeth and looking unruly.

Unlike Shui Yue's full of confidence, the young man with short blue hair and black eyes next to him was much more shy, and he didn't even dare to look up into Zhao Meiming's eyes.

"This is Nagajuro, don't look at his appearance, but his ninjutsu talent is first-class." Qing touched the blue-haired boy's head and praised him with a smile.

"I've heard the names of these two imps."

Terumi echoed a sentence, whether it is Mizuki or Nagajuro, they are all famous prodigies in the fog.

Then, she looked at the third girl, found that it was an unfamiliar face, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "This girl is ......"

"Uh...... Mizukage-sama, you're mistaken, he's not a girl. ”

Qing corrected Terumi with some embarrassment.

Oh?

According to Meiming's words, after a closer look, I found that it was indeed a beautiful young man with a similar female appearance and long black hair.

"His name is Shiro, and he is a street boy who was picking up garbage to eat on the street when he was discovered by the Fog Hidden Ninja and brought back to the village. This guy is the last member of the Snow Clan, and he has a rare Ice Escape Blood Inheritance Limit. ”

Qing made an introduction to the beauty of the country.

"Hello, Mizukage-sama."

Shiro timidly lowered his head and bowed to Terumi.

I see.

Terumi heard Shiro's tragic experience, looked at the restrained young man in front of her, and sighed in her heart.

Mist Yin once had many blood succession families, second only to Konoha in the five major ninja villages, but unfortunately, in the era of blood mist, due to various reasons, they were almost wiped out.

According to Terumi Ming, the Snow Clan was jealous and hated by others because of its Ice Escape Blood Inheritance Limit, and was liquidated in the fog and hidden civil strife, which led to the disaster of extinction.

I thought that Ice Escape had become a swan song, but I didn't expect that the Snow Clan left the last spark.

Come to think of it.

Terumi stood up, walked over to several teenagers, and put her hand on their shoulders.

These teenagers are the future of Wuyin Village.

"Take them down, protect and nurture them. The next Mizukage in the future may be born from these three little guys. ”

She solemnly admonished Qing.

"I, the sixth generation of Mizukage must be me!"

When the ghost lantern Shuiyue heard this, he immediately jumped out and couldn't wait to announce it.

"If you want to become a Mizukage, let's get rid of your impetuous personality first."

Qing immediately gave Shui Yue a blow to her brain and reprimanded her unceremoniously.

Immediately, he bowed to Terumi and left the office with the three imps.

Bang dang.

As soon as the door was closed, the expression of the fifth generation of Mizukage, who was still sacred and majestic a second ago, suddenly became sluggish, and a pattern of writing wheel eyes appeared in his eyes.

"Bang!"

She used psychic ninjutsu to summon crows, and immediately passed the news of the encirclement and suppression of the Angel of Dawn by the major ninja villages to her master.

Half a day later.

Mountain cemetery.

"Gah!"

A hoarse cry sounded outside the window, and the broken man in the room slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and received information from the crow.

A Guardian Crane Running Wild?

Seeing the contents of the information, he was slightly surprised.

Is it that Xiao Nan failed to control my Airo?

However, why did Xiao Nan take the three pillars to hide in the old site of the Vortex Country, which was not a good hiding place.

Duan was keenly aware that there seemed to be something strange behind this matter.

He pondered for a moment and decided to temporarily suspend his practice of immortal arts and go out.

Not for the tailed beast, but for the reincarnation eye.

After all, in the original book, after Nagato's death, his reincarnation eye was snatched away by Obito. I will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen, so as not to let myself fall into passivity.

What he was curious about was how many detonation charms Xiao Nan had prepared this time, was it enough for 600 billion?

But.

If the plot in the original book is staged, no matter how many detonation charms Xiao Nan has prepared, if Obito wants to rely on Shenwei to dodge this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

Because the break is ready, at any time the yin will take the soil with one hand and snatch the latter's right eye.

So as to make up the double Shenwei writing wheel eye.

Come to think of it.

Break your left hand and aim your palm's eyes at yourself, releasing a spatial force.

Swish.

He escaped into the Kamui space, made a quick move, and left the mountain cemetery alone.

Meanwhile.

Thousands of miles away, the island of the Vortex Country.

The ruins of Vortex Village, in an abandoned room.

"Hmm......"

Naruto Uzumaki, who was lying on the bed, let out a muffled snort and slowly woke up from his coma.

It was as if he had had a long dream.

In that dream, he turned into a giant demon fox with nine tails and wreaked havoc in Konoha Village, killing many, many people.

Screams of terror, corpses and blood everywhere, burning buildings and smoke......

Everything was like a nightmare.

The scary thing is that Naruto didn't do such a nightmare for the first time, and every time he did it, he lost consciousness.

Only this time, he seemed to be in a coma for a particularly long time.

What the hell is ...... What's going on?

At this time, although Naruto regained consciousness, he was shocked to find that there was still darkness in front of him, and he could only faintly see a little dim light.

Is he blind?

Naruto suddenly panicked, and hurriedly raised his hands to touch his eyes, but he felt a thick bandage.

"You're awake."

At this moment, a light voice suddenly sounded in Naruto's ears.

Naruto sniffed and smelled a scent of incense, the girl's body scent, getting closer and closer to him.

Then, he was helped up from the bed by the other party.

"Y-Who are you?"

Naruto couldn't see the girl's appearance, so he could only ask in a sneering voice.

At this time, another cold voice came from outside the door: "Fu, help him take off the bandage." ”

Fu, is that the name of the girl in front of you?

"Okay, teacher."

Fu obediently responded, and then said to Naruto, "You have to open your eyes slowly, otherwise you won't be able to adapt to the light all of a sudden." ”

With that, she stretched out her hands and carefully helped Naruto remove the bandage around his eyes.

Naruto was obedient and slowly opened his eyes as Fu's prompts, gradually adapting to the bright environment.

The first thing he saw was a girl with short green hair and dark skin, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Naruto, who has never been very popular with girls, avoided the other party's gaze with some embarrassment.

Then he looked at the door, and there was what Fufu called "Teacher", a woman with short blue hair and a flower on her head.

She had a cold expression and looked a little unapproachable, staring at Naruto with a pair of orange eyes, making him feel a lot of pressure.

In addition to the two of them, on the chair in the corner of the room, there was also a red-haired boy with the word "love" engraved on his forehead, drooping his head without saying a word, as if he was resting.

"You ...... Who exactly? Where is this again? ”

For a moment, Naruto felt even more confused.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Fu, and I am the seven-tailed human pillar force of Takishinobi Village, so it's nice to meet you."

Fu patted her chest and introduced herself heartily and generously.

Then, she pointed to the red-haired imp in the corner of the room and whispered to Naruto, "He's a man from the Sand Hidden Village, and he's a guy with a terrible personality, you must be careful in the future, don't mess with him if you have anything to do." ”

Speaking of this, Fleur showed a palpitating expression, obviously having seen the horror of my Airo.

As Fu spoke, the blue-haired woman also came to the bed, looking down at Naruto even closer.

Looking into Naruto's eyes, to be exact.

Fu hurriedly stepped out of her seat and introduced Naruto, "She is Teacher Xiaonan, the one who rescued the three of us from Yuyin Village. Otherwise, we will fall into the hands of the five ninja villages and become their tools for waging war. Just like the kind of life you used to live. ”

Mr. Xiaonan?

Naruto couldn't help but raise his head and look at the woman in front of him in a daze, his heart still confused, and even more and more confused.

Xiao Nan saw Naruto's confusion and let out a cold voice again:

"You are Naruto Uzumaki, the nine-tailed pillar force of Konoha. And this is Vortex Village, your true hometown. ”

Nine-Tails ...... Human-column force?

Naruto frowned suddenly, it wasn't the first time he'd heard such a title, but he still didn't understand what it meant.

He only remembered that when he was in Konoha, those masked shadow ninjas would lower their voices and deliberately avoid him every time they mentioned the word.

As for the Vortex Village, Naruto hadn't even heard of it.

"No, I'm not from Vortex Village, I'm an orphan in Konoha Village. Although everyone hates me and says that I am a demon fox who brings disaster to the village......"

Naruto retorted, only his voice getting quieter.

For as long as he can remember, the nickname of the demon fox has been with him. Not only is he regarded as a scourge by the villagers, but no one in the ninja school wants to befriend him.

Naruto has been living alone.

Therefore, when he mentioned his life experience in front of outsiders, he couldn't help but feel deeply inferior.

But what Xiao Nan said next completely subverted Naruto's cognition.
