Continuation...

[October 06, 14 A.N.N.]

After a while, I could see that the three Uzumaki began to move, and one by one, they began to wake up.

When they woke up, feeling their body weak, and could only move their eyes, they started to look around, trying to figure out, where they are, and looking for escape routes.

'They're looking for escape routes...Interesting!...They're not as stupid as they made the Uzumaki seem.' I thought calmly while observing his behavior.

The three Uzumaki continued to look around, and they met their gazes and saw that they are fine. Relief could be seen on their faces, as they confirmed that their companions had not died.

At this time, the three of them exchanged glances, and signaled for them to get ready.

When I watched their interaction I could only smile, as nothing could escape my eyes.

"Hello, this is Max... ¡¿Are you done communicating?!" - I spoke calmly, since I wasn't going to wait long, and I wanted to go straight to the important matter.

When they heard my voice, all three Uzumaki looked at me at the same time. Their faces turned serious, and their bodies tensed. At this time, the eldest of the three, he spoke...

"Who are you?...and where are we?" -Said the Uzumaki with a serious tone, but his voice was still weak, since his body has not recovered.

".." The other Uzumaki kept silent, and just stared at me, their bodies didn't respond to them, since they were injured.

"Brat... First you greets, and then he asks questions... Haven't they taught you?" - I spoke, while I looked at the one who had spoken.

(Author: Brat means little boy, it's like an insult for minors)

"We're not brats!, and…"-Said the only Uzumaki woman of this group, while she screamed to deny what she had said, but she was interrupted.

"Yui... ¡Silence!" -The Uzumaki said that he had spoken first, while he looked at the Uzumaki woman.

"..." Uzumaki Yui, she looked at her partner, and puffed out her cheeks, looking in another direction, she was silent, she didn't speak again, she looked annoyed.

"Now! Are you going to introduce yourself?" - I spoke in a calm tone, while observing his behavior.

"Sorry, for her behavior.... we didn't know if you were an enemy." - Said the Uzumaki with a little calmer, although they were weak, he had realized, that they had not been restricted, or sealed their powers. Also, their lineage, as Uzumaki made them recover faster than a normal person.

"..." I just nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"My name is Tau... my partner is Yui, you may have already heard, and my partner is Pay..." -Uzumaki Tau said, and introduced her partners.

'Apparently, they're keeping their surname, for fear of the consequences, I guess...' I thought, as I listened, and continued. 'But, with the color of their hair, it's very easy to tell the origin of their clan... Just a fool wouldn't notice'.

"Hello, I'm Pay..." - Uzumaki Pay said with a slightly rough voice.

"..." I nod and look at the only female in the group.

"..." Uzumaki Yui was silent, she looked away, she didn't want to talk to me. Tau looked at her seriously, and Yui looked at me, and said - "Hello... my name is Yui."

"Girl with that behavior, you won't be able to get any husband in the future..." - I spoke, as I looked at Yui's face, and her face turned red, she got angry at my words. I could only smile, because of her behavior.

"¡Yui!" Said Tau, as he looked at Yui, and now he looked at me, and continued- "Sorry, for her behavior... Can you tell me where we are?".

'Tau, he's the leader of this group, and he's the most focused...' I thought, and continued 'I don't want to beat around the bush, I'm going straight.'.

"From your characteristics, I can be sure that you three are from the Uzumaki Clan..."- I spoke calmly, while I looked at the three Uzumaki.

When they heard my words, the faces of the three of them turned pale, and their body tensed, they prepared for a fight.

"Don't worry... if I had wanted to hurt them, I would have already done so, when your were unconscious..." - I spoke slowly, and the three began to calm down, since, even if they wanted to fight, they couldn't, due to their current condition.

"..." Tau, he nodded, while the rest calmed down.

"Your Clan was wiped out from their homeland... and seeing their conditions, they're being hunted... right?!" - I spoke calmly, while looking at the three.

"..." The faces of the three Uzumaki were serious, since what he had said is all true, the people who were able to escape the massacre of their Clan are being hunted by the other villages.

"Yes, it's true... How do you know this?... Are you one of them too?" -Tau said, while he looked at me with a little fear, since they had been escaping, since they escaped from the massacre of his Clan.

"..." Yui and Pay were watching, not saying a word. Yui was biting her lip, because of the frustration that the Clan is going through.

"No, I'm not an enemy of your Clan, and I feel sorry for what they've been through..." - I spoke, and I thought 'The Uzumaki Clan, I've always liked it, since it was an independent country, and they were united... It was tragic its end, since they eliminated this Clan, for fear of its power.'.

"Why do you have us in this place?" -Yui said, while she looked at me, she wasn't afraid of me, it's, as if she was testing my patience.

"..." his classmates could only watch, and without saying a word, because they also wanted to know the answer.

"Well... I'll tell you..." - I spoke, while looking at Yui, and I started to tell her how they had ended up in this place, I hadn't told them where they were.

When they had finished telling the whole story, how they were rescued by the people they had saved, they are happy, and they feel relieved.

After telling the story, the three of them didn't see me, as someone evil, and they weren't on their guard, they were calmer, and they could trust a little. But, they still kept a reserve of caution, since after what happened with their Clan, they had to be more cautious.

"So what do you plan to do now?" - I spoke calmly while looking at the three, since I didn't plan to have them if they didn't want to. To avoid problems, I would just have to erase his memories, and everything was solved.

"We don't know, we were escaping without stopping... on that occasion we intervened, because some ninjas were about to kill those people..." - Tau said calmly.

"..." His teammates fell silent, but they could be seen to be calm. The calmest was Yui, as she watched, and she looked at me.

"I have an offer for you... You can work for me... I can give you a safe place, food, and money... and, Nobody will be able to threaten your life, since you will be under my protection" - I spoke with quiet, take a moment of silence, and continue. - "¡Or!... They can refuse, and they will have to leave when they are recovered, since I am not going to protect strangers.".

"..." They stared at me, not knowing what to do, because if what I said is true, they would no longer have to be running away, and be afraid of being killed, or worse yet, captured, by their enemies. The one who would suffer the most would be Yui, since everyone knows the reason.

'Well, they're hesitant about the offer, I can understand, since they've been on the run all this time, and couldn't trust anyone.' I thought, as I looked at the three who were silent, and didn't know what to answer.

"We..." – Tau said, but I interrupted him, I didn't let him finish.

"Think carefully about the offer, since I will only give them a single chance, if they refuse, I will not help them anymore." -I spoke calmly, while I looked at them, and I thought 'I didn't think about helping people who don't want to be helped, I'm not a hero to be protecting everyone.'.

"..." Tau kept silent and looked at his companions, and they didn't know what to do either, since it was a very good offer, but they still had doubts, about whether to accept the offer or not.

'Looks like they need time' I thought, and I spoke - "I'll give you some time to think about it, since I'm not in a hurry with your answer, but remember, think carefully about your decision, since it's only one chance.".

"..." Tau, he nodded to me in thanks, since I'm giving them some time.

"Stay in this room, and if you leave this room, I'll know your answer... The doors will be open if you want to leave... But, you can never come back to this place again." - I spoke calmly, while I left the room with Yagami.

"..." The three Uzumaki remained silent, as they watched me leave the room, and only looked at my back. Yui was silent until I had disappeared.

When I left the room, and I was walking down the hall, I started thinking about this little meeting, and I thought 'If they leave the room, I will be able to detect them, and at that time, I will erase their memories, and let them go, since they will not serve me.'.

"Take me to a room to rest, I've been traveling all day." - I spoke calmly, and I thought 'I just want to rest.', since, I hadn't slept for almost a day, coming to this place.

"Okay, Boss," Yagami said, as he guided me through the passageway, and took me to a distant place.

Yagami spoke for the first time, and he was walking next to me. Yagami had been silent all this time, not interrupting my conversation with the Uzumaki Clan, and he was just a bystander.

"Boss, what do you think?... Do you think they will accept the offer?" -Yagami said slowly, as he walked next to me, he wasn't worried about the Uzumaki escaping, since this place has many barriers and detections.

"I don't know... I hope they make a very good decision... maybe, they will be the last Uzumaki alive... Who knows?" - I spoke calmly, since I did not intend to take away their freedom in their decision.

The reason was that I didn't want to have puppet people, or zombies, who only listen to my words, without giving their opinion. If I ever did that, it would be such a boring world, and I would lose who I am, and I thought 'I need loyal men who are willing to follow me of their own free will.'.

Yagami kept silent, while he walked, and guided me to a room to rest.

When I got to the room, I liked it, since the place looked comforting.

"I'm going to summon everyone, since I want to advance the preparations." - I spoke while looking at Yagami.

"Okay, Boss." -Yagami said calmly, and he already knew what I was referring to, everyone had accepted from the beginning.

"Fine, you can go... I'm going to rest." - I spoke, while Yagami left.

"Rest, Chief," - Yagami said, as he left.

At this time, I made a hand sign to summon all the Wood Clones. When I finished, I was able to feel calmer, as I was now able to sleep. I speak softly...

"I hope the Uzumaki Clan…decide wisely!"

To be continued...
