|3rd POV|
Matsuda Uzumaki looks at the seal on the ground and prays to any gods who are willing to listen that this is working.
At the moment, the combination of the army of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure is attacking the home of the Uzumaki Clan. They are now inside the village, surrounded by a barrier made from the sacrifice of many Uzumaki.
It is a barrier that is strong enough to block the army for a couple of hours, but he also knows that when those three villages decide to use their Jinchuuriki, they are done. The barrier cannot hold against the combination of three Tailed Beasts.
"Is it done?"
Matsuda looks at the elder next to him with a hopeful expression.
"Yes, my lord."
As the last remaining royal blood of Uzumaki that stays on this island, Matsuda becomes the Uzukage and Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpool.
"The seal is done and will reach a land outside this world."
In their desperation, he and all the best Seal Masters in the entire island work together to create a portal to another world where they can start anew and maybe rebuild their strength to do revenge against the villages that attack them.
"Good. Activate the seal."
"Are you sure? We don't know if the world on the other side is habitable or if our seal will be detected by a powerful being that will kill all of us."
"Do you have any solution for our problem, Elder? I am all ears if you have the solution. We are desperate. If we fail, we die—the same as if we don't do it. If you have a better idea, go ahead. I am willing to listen."
The elder releases a sigh and nods her head. She knows that Matsuda is correct. They don't have any choices.
"Very well. Pour your blood into the center of the seal, my lord. We shall prepare the activation."
Matsuda nods and walks toward the center of the room. He cut his hand and let his blood flow into the seal. He watches as the seal drinks his blood, and it shines. A few seconds later, a black portal appeared, and he widened his eyes when a strong suction started to drag him.
However, before he can be sucked into the abyss, the portal is enveloped by a white cocoon. He pants and looks at the white cocoon, and when he sees the cocoon open up, he prepares for the worst.
Lucky for him, he sees a group of people walk out of the cocoon instead of monsters.
"Are you the one opening the portal to the void?"
Vale says that with a gentle smile on his face. His Sky Attraction is on full blast to assure them that he is not a threat. Matsuda snapped from his shock and quickly got up.
"The void?"
"Ah, it was a plane of pure darkness that would suck anything on its path. It is a bane for anyone who is experimenting with any space- and time-related technology, magic, or technique. Luckily, I took notice and replaced the seal with my own. If not, your world will be sucked clean."
Matsuda swallows his saliva after hearing that. He is just about to destroy the entire world by accident and desperation.
"Then I must thank you."
"Think nothing of it. By the look of the technique, it is a rush job. Something happening?"
He looks at the elderly and sees them nod their heads. Matsuda takes a deep breath and says.
"It is like this…"
He explains their situation to Vale, and when he is done, he says.
"Can you help us?"
"Sure. I can let your people start a new life in my territory. However, before we go there, do you by any chance know of the Toad Clan?"
Matsuda nods his head and says.
"They are a summon from Konoha."
"Are they, by any chance, your allies? Let me explain something first. As you can see, I am someone who can explore the Blind Eternity, and I once encountered a contract with the Toad Clan. They said that they are the Uzumaki Clan allies and wonder if you guys are the same clan that is allied to them."
He shakes his head and says.
"No. We are not an ally."
"I see that is a shame. May I summon them just in case?"
"You may."
Matsuda creates a hand signal to prepare to fight, just in case. Vale slams his hand on the ground and summons Fukasaku, who looks around before his eyes land on Matsuda.
"Ahh, this is not the Uzushiogakure I know."
"Really? Oh well."
Matsuda releases a sigh of relief when he sees the toad does not attack them, and looks at Vale.
"So?"
"Sure. You can go to my territory and create a new village there. However, you know that you will work for me, right?"
"We know and are even willing to be your Shinobi Village, which will answer your order."
"Then we are in agreement."
Vale offers his hand, and the two of them shake hands.
"When do you want to move? Also, do you need me to move the portal?"
"Can you do that?"
"Not too far away. Only a hundred meters from the starting point."
"Then, please move it above ground and outside the Daimyo Palace."
"Lead the way."
==||==
Vale watches as the evacuation is happening. His people will welcome them on the other side while his guardians work hard to help the people moving through the portal. While watching them move, he looks toward Matsuda and says,
"How long until the barrier lasts?"
"If they don't bring their secret weapons, it will last for another hour."
Vale frowns at that answer and looks at Skull and Felicia.
"Skull! Felicia! Help me! We need to reinforce the barrier."
"Yes, boss!"
"I understand, my lord!"
The three of them stand close together and flare up their flames. Orange, Purple, and Blue flames shoot out to the sky. A second later, the three flames combine with the power of Sky Harmonization and create a barrier around the island.
"Felicia, you can help the other. Leave the rest to Skull and me."
Felicia nods her head and helps the others. She wants to stay, but she knows that it is not the time to question her lord's order.
"You don't need to do this, you know? Some of us are already willing to sacrifice ourselves to renew the barrier."
Vale wants to say something about the barrier being made from human sacrifice but decides not to do it. Desperate times require desperate solutions.
"Heh! Don't worry about us, old man. We are powerful enough to maintain this barrier for the entire day without a problem."
Skull gives the old man a grin after he takes off his helmet. Vale nods his head and says.
"He is right, you know? You also don't need to worry about the barrier. I already match it with the barrier you erected."
Vale gives him an assuring smile and says.
"Just make sure your people reach the other side faster. Call the other Uzumaki on the frontline as well. We already make sure anyone with Uzumaki blood is able to walk through the barrier and leave the Non-Uzumaki outside."
Matsuda nods his head and immediately uses the communication seal to recall all combatants on the frontline. For now, they need to regroup and rebuild. When they are done, they shall have their revenge, and just like Whirlpool, their revenge shall be devastating.
