Chapter 64 Send those poor guys to hell
"No, wait, why?"
Uzumaki Tetsuya looked at the clan elder and said in a dry voice: "If you continue to stay here you will die, you will really die!"
"I know, but we won't escape!"
Murderous intent flashed through the old man's cloudy pupils, and a sneer appeared on his face as he spoke with a hint of hoarseness and low voice: "Even if we are bound to die, we must make those bastards pay the price with their blood!"
"So, do you also know that you will die?" Uzumaki Tetsuya whispered, "Do you have to stay here and die together?"
Maybe these clan elders were once ninjas, but they have long since retreated behind the scenes and become the leaders of this country.
They probably all forgot how many years they had not fought.
Even if the clan elders are old and frail, they are full of enthusiasm and carrying a cane to fight the enemy, the most likely thing is to become one of the victims.
"No, we are not going to die together."
A clan elder shook his head and denied Tetsuya's statement. He looked at the other ninjas and said with a smile: "It's us old guys who will stay and use our old lives to cover the safe evacuation of these young people."
"How is this possible..." Hearing this, the faces of the Uzumaki ninjas present changed. They were about to speak but were interrupted by another clan elder.
"Although those bastards in Konoha have abandoned us now, I still agree with Senju Hashirama's will of fire."
The clan elder with a relatively gentle and rational personality said: "We old bones don't have a long life to live. But we are not corrupt enough to ask young people to help us protect and defend us."
"We can't let our students and children die in front of us."
"Instead of exchanging your lives for the lives of us old people. it's better to use the remaining life we have left in exchange for your lives."
Uzumaki Haruka was silent for a moment, then hesitantly turned to look at Kumokawa.
"Okay." Kumokawa understood what he meant and nodded with emotion, "My 'blood' is enough to temporarily restore these old people to their peak state when they were young, but after that..."
He did not finish his words. But everyone understands, but no one cares.
Because, no matter who it is, this is the best choice.
"Did you hear that?"
One of the Clan elders looked at Uzumaki Tetsuya with a half-smile and said, "Just sit there as usual and watch us old guys perform, and feel free to complain about your incompetence in your heart."
Looking at the old men who were nodding in agreement and spitting foam, Uzumaki Tetsuya was stunned for a moment, then slumped on the chair and lowered his head, the bitter smile on his face hidden in the shadows.
They are actually rushing to die, what's going on?
Really, it's ridiculous.
Really, ridiculous?
Creak!
At this moment, with a burst of noise, the door to the conference room was suddenly opened.
"Dad!"
A small figure broke in, cried and threw herself into Uzumaki Haruka's arms, saying loudly: "No! I don't want to leave! I, I can also help!"
As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves, put her fair and slender arms in front of Haruka, crying: "I have awakened my ability! I can also..."
Before the girl could finish her words, Haruka, who was holding her in his arms, raised his palm.
He gently pinched his daughter's neck and made her pass out with her eyes closed.
"I made you laugh." Uzumaki Haruka looked up at Kumokawa and explained with a somewhat bitter smile, "This is my daughter, Uzumaki Yiko..."
Kumokawa just shook his head, and Nagato suddenly spoke and asked : "What did this girl mean just now?"
Awakening ability?
What ability can you have at such a young age?
Adamantine Sealing Chains? Or Mind's Eye of the Kagura?
"...It's life healing."
Uzumaki Haruka lowered his head, pulled down his daughter's sleeves, covered her fair arms, and said in a low tone: "In addition to Adamantine Sealing Chains and Mind's Eye of the Kagura, our clan actually has a third ability. "
"Uzumaki clan members who have awakened the ability of 'life healing' can bite their skin or let others bite their skin to absorb life force, and quickly restore their own or others' chakra and injuries. The healing effect is enough to reconnect broken limbs... "
At this point, he paused, shook his head and said: "But, as a father, how can I absorb the life force of my daughter? I rather wish she did not have this ability."
Hearing this, Nagato's eyes towards the girl gradually became incomprehensible.
Absorb life force, restore chakra, heal injuries, and reconnect severed limbs?
The Uzumaki clan actually still hides this kind of ability. They are literally covered in "treasures". No wonder it is coveted and feared by so many people.
"I'm sorry, Yiko."
After taking a deep look at his daughter for the last time, Uzumaki Haruka put away the nostalgia in his eyes, stood up and handed her to Kumokawa, bowed gratefully and said: "Please hand over Yiko to my wife. Let them leave here safely. "
As the leader of the Uzumaki clan, he cannot abandon the country of Whirlpool and choose to escape to a foreign land alone.
Moreover, Uzumaki Haruka is the same as those clan elders, they all understand a fact in their hearts.
Tsukimi Sato Kumokawa, who has a mysterious background, may be able to accept young ninjas and civilians, but he cannot accept high-level officials like them. Their presence will hinder progress.
Of course, they had no resentment against Kumokawa. If Kumokawa had not brought anyone to help, they would have been defeated long ago.
In that case, the clansmen would have no choice but to flee in all directions and become homeless lambs to be slaughtered.
Compared with such miserable consequences, as long as the clan members are still there, the treatment in the future will not be bad.
Moreover, their ancestors did not choose to join Konoha at the beginning, and now they are unwilling to rely on others and abandon the ancestral heritage and pride of the Uzumaki clan.
"I understand."
Looking at Uzumaki Haruka and the clan elders in front of him, Kumokawa could understand their thoughts and determination, and gently took the girl from Haruka's arms: "I respect and admire your choices and beliefs."
After that, he stood up and faced everyone, placed a small bottle of "blood" on the table, and said in a solemn voice: "Your names will be engraved on the monument forever."
The figures in black robes behind Kumokawa said in unison with the same solemn voice: "Forever engraved on the monument, live to die!"
The black demons were entrenched behind him. They were like his fans, and Their vertical pupils under the black robe were full of fanaticism and piety.
"Let's go." A smile appeared on Kumokawa's lips. He turned around suddenly, his black robe rose like the wings of an owl, and he said softly: "Send our future companions back to our common home."
After that, he raised his hand and lightly drew it across his face, and a scarlet blood-colored mist rolled and surged.
When the blood mist dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a completely different face.
"Send those poor guys to hell," he said.
