"Uzumaki Haruna..."
Kusage's eyes darkened. When was this revealed? No, or had the Whirlpool Kingdom known from the beginning? They had the ability to send letters to him without anyone noticing. Finding Uzumaki Haruna didn't seem too difficult, just a waste of time. Unless they imprisoned Uzumaki Haruna from the start and prevented her from leaving any trace of her life in Kusagakure Village, but now it was too late to do anything.
Kusage's secretary also saw the contents of the letter and reluctantly said, "Lord Kusage, are we going to send Uzumaki Haruna away like this?"
Kusage glanced at him and said coldly, "What else?"
"But..."
"No buts!"
The secretary wanted to say something else but was immediately interrupted by Kusage. Kusage looked gloomy and said, "Since the Whirlpool Kingdom has found her, send Uzumaki Haruna back obediently."
He took a deep breath and continued, "Kirigakure cannot withstand the Whirlpool Kingdom's attack. Do you think our small ninja village can compare to Kirigakure?"
The secretary opened his mouth and said frustratedly, "...I understand."
"But..."
Kusage sneered and said, "Even if the Whirlpool Kingdom wants to take her for free, it won't be that easy!"
His eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Hasn't the Cloud Shinobi Village also been looking for the Uzumaki clan in recent days? Leak the news to them!"
"Yes!"
After the secretary left, Kusage stood by the office window, looking at the village, and whispered, "Since I can't get her from Kusagakure Village, then no one else can..."
He didn't dare to offend the now-powerful Whirlpool Kingdom, but the Thunder Country could!
Rustle...
A small movement was heard.
"Who?!"
Kusage shouted and turned around sharply.
"Meow~"
Following the meowing sound, a black cat jumped from the side. Seeing this, Kusage sighed in relief. It was just a cat. The mysterious appearance of the letter earlier had indeed made him a bit scared.
Not far away, the black cat, unseen by the grass shadows, licked its forepaw, its golden pupils revealing human-like thoughts.
"This Grass Village is really dishonest."
The black cat suddenly opened its mouth and uttered human words. "However, I'm not an exclusive fighter. I must report this matter to Lord Soul King first."
The black cat was none other than Shihouin Yoruichi, who came to deliver the message. With her extraordinary Shunpo, no one could see her unless she wanted to be seen.
Half a day later, Whirlpool Kingdom.
At Uzumaki Chihiro's address. A black cat jumped in through the window, even unnoticed by Rukia Kuchiki, who was acting as a guard at the door. The black cat crawled into Uzumaki Chihiro's arms and gently licked her hand.
"Yoruichi, you're back so soon?" Feeling the moisture at her fingertips, Uzumaki Chihiro placed her hand on the black cat's head and gently stroked it. The black cat squinted its eyes comfortably, rolled over, and let Uzumaki Chihiro touch it.
Then, under Uzumaki Chihiro's gaze, it slowly transformed back into its human form but still crawled in her arms like a cat. Suddenly, Shihouin Yoruichi's net worth skyrocketed here, at Uzumaki Chihiro! A cat-woman who can provide benefits to her owner is worth at least a million reputation points!
While stroking Yoruichi, Uzumaki Chihiro listened to the news Yoruichi brought back. After learning of Kusage's plan, Uzumaki Chihiro slightly squinted her eyes. Be polite before fighting. The etiquette had been delivered, and now it was time to use force later. She had already given Kusage a chance.
Yylfordt Granz, who had just been recruited, had done nothing all day. This time, let him lead a group of Hollows, and by the way, they could bring Fuguki Suikazan. Over the past few months, Fuguki Suikazan had been eating and drinking freely and had now reached the level of Adjuchas. It was time for a change.
Uzumaki Chihiro patted Yoruichi in her arms and commanded, "I understand the situation. Kusagakure Village will no longer exist in the near future. Go and bring Uzumaki Haruna back safely."
"Yes, Lord Soul King!"
Shihouin Yoruichi wriggled like a cat, showing her good side in front of Uzumaki Chihiro, then turned into a black cat again and jumped out of the window.
"Well, this is really big..."
Uzumaki Chihiro muttered to herself. After the reply from Kusagakure arrived, she looked at the contents of the letter and sneered. Then she opened Hueco Mundo and informed Yylfordt Granz of his mission. Yylfordt Granz looked very excited after receiving the message. I can finally do something for the king!
Impatient, Yylfordt Granz ordered several Gillian and a group of ordinary Hollows, then Fuguki Suikazan, then opened Hueco Mundo and rushed towards Kusagakure Village. Since Hollows couldn't appear in Seireitei, they couldn't use the gate barrier to teleport at will. They could only rush from the Water Country to Grass Village. On the way, many people in the Water Country were frightened, thinking Hollows had appeared again. Fortunately, the Hollows ignored their intentions this time, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Homeland. A little girl with long reddish-brown hair watched the Hollows floating in the sky and the villagers trembling in fear. She not only clenched her white and tender fists but also had eyes full of determination. These hateful bastards! One day, I will destroy you all!
She thought of coming to the Water Country to eliminate these empty Shinigami. Although the adults said these Shinigami were bad people invading the Water Country, when the Hollows appeared, it was these Shinigami who destroyed them. Thinking of this, she became determined and swore, "I will definitely become a Shinigami and kill the Hollows one by one!"
Grassland.
Because he brought a group of Hollows with him, Yylfordt Granz's travel time was somewhat reduced. It took a whole day to reach the Grass Country.
Kusagakure Village, Kage's Office. Kusage processed the documents and asked without looking up, "Has the news been revealed?"
"Yes, Lord Kusage!"
"Hmph, that's good."
If you want to get Uzumaki Haruna, let's fight with Cloud Shinobi Village. The fiercer the fight, the better. It's best if both sides are hurt, hahaha! Kusage laughed wildly in his heart, laughing and feeling a wave of sadness again. This is the helplessness of a small country! If their Grass Country were strong, why would they do this?
Boom! Just as he was feeling sad, the office door suddenly opened! Kusage looked up displeased and saw a ninja speaking in a panic, "No! This is not good, Lord Kusage!!"
Kusage frowned, "What's the matter!"
"The village, above the village, there are many!"
Kusage was shocked, "Has the Whirlpool Kingdom come so quickly?" Wait, didn't he agree to let Uzumaki Haruna go home? Why is the Whirlpool Kingdom still coming? Didn't the Whirlpool Kingdom receive his news?
The grass ninja gasped, "No, not the Whirlpool Kingdom!"
The Kusage sighed in relief, as long as it wasn't the Whirlpool Kingdom, then he looked at the grass ninja and said displeasedly, "It's not the Whirlpool Kingdom, why are you panicking!"
"Lord, Lord Kusage..."
The secretary looked out the window with dull eyes, his lips slightly trembling. The Kage followed his gaze and turned to look out the window, and his eyes suddenly widened!
"This, what is this!!"
