I am the strongest Hokage of all time

A month passed quickly.

The day has come to go to the Country of Whirlpool.

Hiruzen got the news in advance and ended the task of building the road at hand.

Practice at home and wait.

Until a ninja came to the house and knocked on the door.

Hiruzen opened the door.

"Are you, Uncle Kashiwagi?"

The person who came was none other than Senju Kashiwagi, who had previously been cracking down on crime in Kyoto.

"Let's go, Hokage-sama is waiting for you at the gate of the village."

Kashiwagi said.

So Hiruzen packed up his gear and set off.

Arrive at the gate of Konoha.

I saw Hashirama wearing classic red armor standing among the people.

Next to him was Mito Kazushige, who was dressed formally.

There were many ninjas around as guards.

"Master Hashirama, Mito-sensei, Shigeru."

Hiruzen walked up to say hello.

Hashirama noticed Hiruzen and said, "Here you come, Hiruzen, let's go, let's set off together."

Mito also smiled slightly and said, "There are a lot of fun things to do in the Country of Whirlpool."

Mito's trip this time was considered as a return to her parents' home, and she brought her whole family with her.

Naturally, I was very happy.

Shigeru greeted Hiruzen.

Hiruzen was full of expectations for this trip to the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

It should be considered a publicly funded trip.

The group of people set off in a standard ninja running posture and ran eastward.

The Kingdom of Whirlpool is located on a small island to the east of the Kingdom of Fire.

Take the pace of a group of elite ninjas on their way.

It only takes two days to reach the coast.

Plus boat ride time.

A total of about three days is enough to arrive.

The land area of ​​the ninja world is very small.

You can use the provinces of China in previous lives as quantifiers.

The five major countries are basically as big as three or four provinces.

The largest of the small countries, the Iron Country, is only as big as a small province.

The smaller one may not even be a quarter of a province.

The small island where the Kingdom of Whirlpool is located is at best the size of a prefecture-level city.

The journey from Konoha to the coast only spans two provinces.

For ordinary people, it is naturally very far.

The time spent must be calculated on a monthly basis.

After all, ordinary people in this era still rely on their feet to travel, and only the rich and powerful can afford horse-drawn carriages.

But this group of people are all elite ninjas headed by Naruto.

This little distance is nothing.

three days later.

The group arrived at their destination and landed on Whirlpool Island.

As soon as everyone landed, they met the guarding ninjas of the Country of Whirlpool.

After submitting an application to the Guardian Ninja of the Country of Whirlpool.

The group of people arrived at Uzushio Village under the respectful guidance of the ninjas from the Country of Uzumaki.

The Country of Whirlpool is an emerging country established by the Whirlpool clan.

Therefore there was no daimyo government to rule.

Instead, it is directly ruled by the ninjas of Uzushio Village.

The land area is small.

The number of cities and towns within the territory can be counted on one hand.

Most are rural areas.

But the scenery is really good.

The natural environment is even better than the Fire Nation.

It has to be said that the soil and water support the people.

The looks of the Uzumaki clan are not bad either.

Of course, Xiaonan (mistakenly)

Except for Nagato after being drained by the heretic golem.

Most of the ninjas in the Land of Uzumaki are from the Uzumaki clan.

Other ninjas basically intermarried with the Uzumaki clan.

Therefore, the ninjas Hiruzen saw along the way were basically all red-haired.

Red-haired Shanks per capita.

Hiruzen observed along the way and found that this country ruled by ninjas was unexpectedly peaceful.

Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment.

It has the artistic conception of a small country with few people, where chickens and dogs hear each other.

However, Hiruzen knew that this was not true peace.

This fragile peace can easily be broken by foreign invasion.

Peace requires strong power to maintain.

This was Hiruzen's view all along.

Hiruzen looked around all the way.

Observing this country ruled by ninjas.

Learn some lessons you want from it.

Perhaps, the Fire Nation can also change its world.

Hiruzen thought to himself.

After walking for half a day in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, everyone arrived at Whirlpool Village.

Uzumaki Village is small.

There are only nearly 2000 ninjas among them.

The Uzumaki clan accounts for half of the 2000 people.

This does not include the ninjas who have the blood of the Uzumaki clan.

Plus the civilians living in Uzushio Village.

The total population of Uzumaki Village is about 5000.

After all, the vast majority of ordinary people still live in ordinary towns and villages.

After all, there are only a few people living in the ninja village.

Hiruzen and others approached Uzushio Village.

The speed of travel also slowed down.

Uzumaki Village is shrouded in a huge perception barrier.

This barrier can sense unfamiliar chakra within a few miles of Uzushio Village.

Zone with the chakra inside the village.

If an outsider approaches Uzushio Village, they will be sensed by the barrier.

However, Hashirama and his team had already notified Uzushio Village since they submitted the application.

So you can pass through the barrier normally.

Hiruzen followed Hashirama and his group into the barrier.

Ashina Uzumaki, the ruler of the Kingdom of Uzumaki, the head of Uzushio Village, and the leader of the Uzumaki clan, led a large group of ninjas to greet him at the entrance of the village.

Uzumaki Ashina wore long gray armor, carried two white-handled ninja swords on his back, and wore an Uzushio village forehead protector.

Both his beard and hair are white, with long white hair hanging down behind him and a long beard.

The original hair color of the Uzumaki clan is red.

Red hair not only represents the identity of the Uzumaki clan.

It also represents the vitality of the Uzumaki clan.

Once the life force is about to be exhausted, the red hair of the Uzumaki clan members will turn white.

In the original work, Nagato became bald in such an instant after finishing his reincarnation.

The old people in the Uzumaki clan basically all have white hair.

And Uzumaki Ashina was no exception.

He is a ninja from a previous era.

He is the same generation as Senju Buddha, the previous leader of the Senju clan, and even several years older.

The Uzumaki clan is famous for their longevity, firstly because of the peaceful environment, and secondly because of the strong vitality of the Uzumaki clan.

This is very enviable in the ninja world, a world where the average lifespan of a ninja is less than 30 years old.

Ashina Uzumaki is Mito's father.

That is Hashirama's father-in-law.

Hashirama stepped forward, saluted Uzumaki Ashina and said, "Father."

Mito stepped forward and took Uzumaki Ashina's hand and said, "Father, why is your hair all white?"

Uzumaki Ashina smiled and patted Mito's hand and said, "It's not like these guys in the village are careless."

"It's all for nothing. Anyway, I have lived enough in this life."

Uzumaki Ashina summoned Shigeru over.

"My eldest grandson is already so old, and I am satisfied."

Mao followed his father's example and said, "Grandpa."

Uzumaki Ashina looked at Shigeru, and his smile became a little brighter.

Mito said: "Father, don't say that."

Uzumaki Ashina shook his head, and then said instead: "Let's go into the village and talk about business. We can talk about the quarrel between these parents later."

Hashirama and Mito both listened to Uzumaki Ashina's words.

Follow Uzumaki Ashina into the village.

Hiruzen followed them silently.

The group of people arrived at the hall arranged in advance by the Uzumaki clan.

At the back of the hall hung the flags symbolizing Uzushio Village and Konoha Village.

This is where the leaders of the two villages discussed and concluded the alliance.
