Attack on Uzushiogakure 7

Even if each Uzumaki clan member could kill two enemy ninjas before they died it still wouldn't matter, they would die before all their enemies would.

After all the cloud and mist had brought more ninja than the hidden stone by a good margin.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ashina Uzumaki, Ren was keeping his distance from the main Uzumaki forces present on this battlefront in case one of them was able to sense him.

Ren kept an eye on Ashina who was currently standing by himself with a serious expression on his face as he watched his clan members be killed one after another.

Ren saw this as an opportunity as he quickly found a Jonin Uzumaki and killed him, to assume his identity.

Using the transformation Jutsu Ren transformed into an Uzumaki jonin.

Now sporting his red hair he quickly approached Ashina, he had done the transformation Jutsu well enough so that it could fool anyone who saw him, but if Ashina really studied him it would be easy to tell he wasn't an Uzumaki.

Ren was currently walking on the walls surrounding, the Uzumaki village as he approached Ashina, who on the other hand despite sensing Ren's approach had not taken his eyes off the battle happening.

His eyes were filled with seriousness and focus as he watched the deaths of his family, every death was branded on to his mind never to be forgotten, his hatred was clear as day.

As he was focused on the battlefield Ren finally reached him.

He didn't turn or acknowledge Ren's existence, but Ren was sure he had already sensed him and figured out he wasn't an Uzumaki.

" I have...."

" I never thought things would end up like this, watching my family be killed off as I stand here as the last line of defense, to buy time from the others to escape.

But with your appearance and the others, I feel killing in the forest it seems after today there will be no Uzumaki clan blood left in the world." Ashina spoke interrupting Ren as he turned to face him.

" Even if every member of your clan present in the village dies today there is still at least two Uzumaki clan member alive in the hidden leaf." Ren said refuting Ashina's statement.

" But you already knew that."

" It seems you know more than I thought." says Ashina

" let me ask, did you think the leaf would protect your village at the expense of its own fighting power?" asked Ren.

" No, of course not, maybe if Tobirama or Hasirama were alive but not with the current rulers of the leaf, after what happened to the Senju I would never trust them." Ashina spoke

That statement surprised Ren, to say the least, it seemed like Ashina already knew that the Hokage was behind the death of the Senju clan, or at least he had his suspicions.

It was better than Tsunade, she didn't find anything wrong with her clan's death and just blamed it on the other villages.

" Oh, well this should be easier than I thought." says Ren

" I'm from the village hidden in the stone, I have a proposal for you." said Ren

"..."

Ashina said nothing.

"It is simple really, as we speak members of your clan are being saved by the members of the hidden stone and being transported out of the village to the hidden stone."

Ashina's facial expression changed showing an expression of surprise but also suspicion.

"Why??"

" Well the hidden stone has decided to help the Uzumaki clan, by saving some of its members and giving them refuge in the hidden stone, of course not all of the Uzumaki we save might be inclined to do this, and it would take some time to calm them down, but that time will be shortened greatly if you come with them and support the hidden stone." Ren spoke.

But Ashina wasn't a fool to agree to this right away, he could already see the problems with this method.

Even though Ren seemed to want to save the Uzumaki clan it wasn't that simple, Ashina could tell the hidden stone's real objective was to weaken the hidden leaf and strengthen themselves, and if the Uzumaki clan member who was saved didn't agree with being part of the hidden stone, they would most likely be killed.

Under normal circumstances, he would never agree to this but right now he had to think of the best way to help his clan survive this massacre that was happening.

Ashina knew this way was the only way for the clan to survive and even if he wanted to fight till the end, as the leader of the clan he had to think of what was best for the clan and that was joining the hidden stone.

Ashina knew this and so did Ren, so there was no need to play no games.

" If you agree right now the hidden stone will provide evidence that the leaf betrayed you and the Senju clan, and even give you the opportunity for revenge."

That was all it took as Ashina agreed right away.

" I agree with your proposition, the Uzumaki clan will join the hidden stone."

" But I have a request, I want you to save these ninjas if you can."Ashina said pointing at the Uzumaki fight against the hidden cloud.
