Chapter 222 : The battle begins!!

"Remember this day, this time I am here to protect you, I am the strongest among all of us here, and I should be the first to stand up in danger."

"I hope next time, you can solve them without me taking action!"

"You are too weak now, but you will not be so weak forever, you will grow and become stronger!"

"I will wait until you become stronger, until you can stand alone and protect others!

"At that time, you will be the most powerful among them, and you will be the one who protects others."

"Strive to be stronger, everyone, only in this way can you keep up with my pace, I will not stop and wait for the person who is behind, because the world will not wait for him!"

"This is this trip to Konoha, the last lesson I give you!"

After saying the last sentence, Kazuhiko's tone was flat but firm, and he strode toward the hill.

All the clansmen behind were shocked by Kazuhiko's words.

Their eyes are solemn and their fists are clenched tightly, because of their weak strength, now they have to be protected by their own clan head.

The words of Kazuhiko stabbed into their hearts like a sharp blade, so people, especially those Uzumaki people who idolized Kazuhiko.

At this moment, their incomparable desire became stronger, their eyes were red, their eyes were firm, their fists were clenched, and even because they were too hard, their nails unknowingly fell into the flesh, leaving blood.

But they don't seem to know, the firmness in their eyes is enough to make people unforgettable.

Looking at Kazuhiko who was striding forward, they looked at each other and could see each other's shame and determination.

This time, because of their weakness, they need their own clan leader to protect them, but in the future, they will be able to protect their clan leader without the help of their clan leader!

"Kazuhiko-sama, here we come!"

"We will not be left behind!

Invariably, all of them ran over and followed Kazuhiko with great strides.

All of them followed closely behind Kazuhiko, and no one was willing to fall behind.

Kazuhiko didn't look back, but he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. He had already felt the firmness of everyone behind him, "It seems that my clan is doing well."

Kazuhiko believes that in time, these people will become the mainstay of the country of vortex.

It is impossible for him to rely on him for the future prosperity of the country of vortex. Of course, he can subdue the ninja world by himself, but it is impossible to establish a complete unified regime.

He needs more talents to follow in his footsteps so that his ideas can really be instilled.

More talents need nurturing! It's not just about loyalty to him, but also embracing his philosophy!

These individuals are the talents he's discovered for the future of the Land of Whirlpools.

As I ascended the hill, a low-lying expanse unfolded before me, the terrain undulating.

The chilly wind swept through, tinged with a hint of autumn, causing the grass and trees to take on a golden hue, while yellow weeds dotted the landscape.

Though the weeds here didn't reach waist-height, they still brushed against our knees.

Silhouettes lurked around us, encircling Kazuhiko and his companions.

Yet, Kazuhiko seemed unperturbed, his gaze scanning the surroundings. "Truly a natural terrain perfect for an ambush," he remarked, unable to hide his admiration.

It was evident that the Uzumaki clan members behind him were already prepared, each silently gesturing, ready to unleash their sealing techniques at a moment's notice.

Every second counted once the battle commenced.

With everything in place, Kazuhiko descended the hill, his expression unchanged.

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, the air grew still.

It appeared as if an empty expanse lay ahead, until figures cloaked in black leaped into view.

"Fire Style: Fire Serpent!"

"Fire Style: Fire Extinguisher!"

In an instant, powerful flames erupted from the mouths of several individuals, hurtling towards Kazuhiko.

Clearly in coordination, the trio worked seamlessly, dousing the flames while maintaining their assault. Their teamwork on the ground was evident.

Tension thickened in the air, anxiety palpable.

The flames surged like a raging sea, igniting the already weed-strewn ground into a fierce blaze.

Despite the arrogant fire's onslaught, Kazuhiko faced it head-on, seemingly unfazed. Observing everyone's actions, he turned slightly. "Hmm?"

Upon seeing his reaction, no one dared to intervene.

The flames surged menacingly toward the group, yet Kazuhiko remained unwavering.

In a heartbeat, an overwhelming Reiatsu emanated from Kazuhiko, akin to a tempestuous wave.

The monstrous flames, poised to engulf them, suddenly halted as if frozen in time, held captive by an unseen force.

Then, in an instant, an aura of coercion enveloped them, causing the raging flames to disperse into scattered embers around Kazuhiko and his companions.

The air crackled with energy, painting a mesmerizing picture across the sky.

Before the six black-clad ninjas could even leap into action, they found themselves plummeting from the heavens as Kazuhiko's right hand shot forth like a spear.

"laser!"

"biu" "biu" "biu" "biu" "biu" "biu"

In their terror-filled gaze, the beams of light pierced their chests at unimaginable speed, leaving behind gaping wounds before they could react.

They were lifted off their feet by the force of the laser beams, blood seeping from their abdomens as they collapsed weakly to the ground.

The once-yellow weeds now bore the stain of crimson blood, a stark reminder of the violence that had unfolded.
