Chapter Thirty-Eight: Reinforcements from the Vortex
"Auntie, you heard it right, the Uchiha agreed to fight. They said they could be ready before the reinforcements arrived in the whirlpool. ”
Yukiki smiled and asked Mito for credit.
"That's amazing, Xue Hui!"
After Mito confirmed it again and again, he celebrated with Xue Hui, constantly touching Xue Hui's red hair, this habit has not changed since he was a child, and Xue Hui does not want to lose this special care from his relatives.
"Well, we'll be ready to go in two days. But in two days, Sand Shinobi should have entered the Fire Nation a long time ago, right? ”
Mito asked, a little worried.
"Don't worry, this time the sand ninja declared war in a dignified manner, and they only set off on the day of the declaration of war, and I don't know what they think, maybe they have other plans."
Xue Hui explained.
"So according to the progress, as long as we travel fast enough, we can stop them at the border of the Fire Nation."
"It would be great if it could succeed, what Yun Shinobi did in the Fire Country caused the villages within the range of the battlefield to flee one after another, and countless people in the Fire Country were displaced and lost hope."
Mito said pityingly.
"So, we have to work hard to end this war and bring peace back to the ninja world."
Xue Hui followed the topic, clenched his fist with one hand, and said with great ambition.
Two days flashed by in the uneasiness of the Konoha villagers.
Early in the morning, red-haired ninjas with hundreds of people appeared outside the gate of Konoha.
Reinforcements from the Uzumaki have arrived.
Both Yukiki and Mito went out to greet their clansmen.
As the first person, the captain of the Uzumaki clan this time is the Vortex Iron that Xue Hui is all too familiar with.
"Uncle Tie, long time no see."
Xue Hui greeted happily.
"Young Master Xuehui, I'm relieved to see that you're still alive."
A smile forcibly squeezed out of Uzumaki Tetsugui Mubo's face, and then he solemnly saluted Mito who was beside Yukiki.
"Mito-sama, long and sparse greetings."
"Thank you for your hard work, Tie, you're still so old-fashioned."
Mito smiled and nodded in response.
"It's not too young to be young, and it seems that this character can't be changed."
Uzumaki Iron shook his head.
"By the way, there's another person you know who came with you this time."
Uzumaki Iron turned around and beckoned.
"Your cousin, who is also the eldest grandson of the old patriarch, Lord Uzumaki Qingzheng."
"Long time no see, Xue Hui."
Uzumaki Qingzheng smiled and said hello to Xue Hui, who was nearly ten years older than Xue Hui, and had witnessed Xue Hui grow from a baby to a young man now, and he was very familiar with Xue Hui.
"I didn't expect it to be my cousin, it's really rare, this should be your first time in Konoha."
Yukiki stepped forward and shook his fist with him in a friendly manner, and then introduced him to Mito on the side.
"Aunt Mito, first meeting."
Kiyoshi Uzumaki looked nervous when facing Mito.
"Don't be nervous, just be like Xuehui. However, didn't my father protect your vein very well, why did he release you this time? ”
Mito said softly.
"I'm able to come out thanks to Xue Hui!"
Uzumaki Kiyomasa looked at Xue Hui and smiled.
"Me?"
Xue Hui pointed at himself and wondered.
"That's right, after you took over the burden of the Vortex Country, my grandfather's restrictions on me have eased a lot, and I have even been back and forth to the Land of Waves many times."
"And, you know, my son was born, so Grandpa chose to let me go through the war."
Kiyomasa Uzumaki said.
"I see, don't worry, I'll bring you back intact."
Xue Hui nodded and said half-jokingly.
"My strength is not so weak, I need the protection of this little devil of yours!"
Uzumaki Kiyomasa punched Xue Hui in the chest and scolded with a smile.
After that, Xue Hui said hello to the more than 100 ninjas of the whirlpool, not to mention familiar, but at least they knew each other before, so that they could be more handy in the future command. And the people of the Vortex clan also have great trust in Xuehui, and in the terminology of the game, the loyalty and efficiency of the subordinates at the beginning are full value.
This side is reminiscing about the past, and from inside the gate of Konoha, the mighty Uchiha clan, under the leadership of the Uchiha Fire Core and the Uchiha Mirror, also came to the gate of Konoha in full armor.
"Xue Hui, the Uchiha clan is ready to go at any time."
The Uchiha Kagami reported to Yukiki with a smile.
"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be you nasty guy."
The Uchiha Fire Core was visibly stunned for a moment when he saw the appearance of Uzumaki Iron, and then a cold snort showed his attitude.
"I didn't expect you to have the ability to fight, don't hold back, old fellow!"
Uzumaki Iron obviously knew the Uchiha Fire Core, and the two of them choked each other and never looked at each other again.
Xue Hui could feel that from the moment the clansmen of the two clans of Uzumaki and Uchiha stood together, the atmosphere of the entire team became much more silent.
"It seems that there are still many problems to be solved!"
Xue Hui shook his head, but it was not easy to be able to piece together such a combat power temporarily, and he was already very satisfied.
"No way, I hope there will be no problems on the battlefield."
The Uchiha Mirror also foresaw this situation and said helplessly.
"Without further ado, since everyone is here, let's hurry up!"
Xue Hui announced.
"Okay!"
Uzumaki Iron, Uzumaki Kiyomasa, Uchiha Mirror, Uchiha Fire Core and others responded in unison.
"Then let's go, Auntie!"
Yukiki said to Mito.
"Wait, Mito-sama, you're going to battle too?!"
Xue Hui's words made the footsteps of the others who had just left stop abruptly.
"That's right!"
Mito admitted.
"This can't be done, you can't leave Konoha!"
The Uchiha Fire Core didn't think about it, and directly expressed his opposition.
"Mito-sama, you're still safe in Konoha."
Uzumaki Iron also expressed concern.
Although the starting points of the two are different, the two who do not deal with each other have the same opinion at this moment.
"Xuehui, you haven't told me about this!"
The Uchiha Mirror whispered to Yukiki.
"It's a matter of urgency, this is what my aunt took the initiative to ask for."
Yukiki looked at Mito, who was in the spotlight.
Mito was still wearing the plain white kimono and the red sash, the only difference was that she removed the ornaments from her head and hung conspicuous runes on the buns at both ends of her hair, so everyone only thought she was here to see her off for a while.
They were not prepared for Mito's desire to fight.
"Don't panic, I know my responsibilities best, there will be no problem, I have already sent a message in advance to inform you, I don't need you to bear the consequences, oh, if there is anything in case Xue Hui is also responsible with me, you can rest assured."
Mito explained, but there was a hint of unmistakable meaning in his tone.
