The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

"How is it? Dean Ringo..." Master Yuan asked with a little trepidation.

After receiving the notification from Aoi, Minako Ringo immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so she immediately changed her clothes and secretly followed Aoi to Seiji's house.

"The situation is not very good..." Ringo Minako hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth. "Seiji-kun is fine. He is currently in a coma because of his severe injuries. His body is in a state of self-protection. But his physique is very strong. Although he seems to be seriously injured, he has the power of bloodline in his body that is constantly healing himself. With his own strength, he will slowly recover completely."

"It's the same with Yagura-kun. His main injury is mental trauma. The physical injury is not serious. He just needs to rest for a while." Ringo Minako continued, "The main problem is with Mizukage-sama. The meridians in Mizukage's body are on the verge of breaking. Although we now have the means to heal this kind of injury, Mizukage-sama is too old. After recovery, Mizukage-sama's strength will definitely be affected, but I'm not sure how big this impact will be."

After hearing this, the Master sighed. This was a mixed blessing. The good news was that Seiji and Yagura would not have any major problems with the future of the Hidden Mist Village. But the worrying thing was that the Third Mizukage Bing's injury might not be very serious. After his strength was affected, it was unknown whether he could continue to serve as the Mizukage.

-----------------

On the other side, after using the complete form of Susanoo to strike with the sword, Uchiha Madara's body was like a deflated ball, and he returned to his old age again, and it was visibly worse than before the battle.

For him, this operation was not a success. Not only did he fail to control the Third Mizukage Bing with illusion, he even exposed his own identity.

"I'm still old!" Uchiha Madara became more and more disgusted with his aging body. If he was in his prime, he didn't even need his prime. Even when he was young, ninjas as powerful as Bing and Seiji were not worth his attention. As a result, he was forced into this situation by Seiji. Although Seiji escaped in the end, there was really nothing to be happy about for Uchiha Madara.

However, Seiji still left a deep impression on Uchiha Madara. He had a mysterious feeling that this Kirigakure ninja might become an obstacle to his plans in the future.

After summoning a few White Zetsu clones again, Uchiha Madara recovered his vitality and left the Land of Whirlpools and returned to his underground base. This exposure made him feel a little urgency, but fortunately he was exposed to the Hidden Mist Village far overseas. Otherwise, if Konoha knew he was still alive, they might send a large number of ninjas to encircle and suppress him.

A few days later, in the Frost Country, the Mountain Cemetery, the Underground Base, Uchiha Madara returned to his lair. He walked slowly towards the Outer Path Golem with some effort, sat down on the seat with difficulty, and then connected the tube to his body again. Feeling the vitality transmitted by the Outer Path Golem at that moment, Uchiha Madara let out a low roar of pleasure.

At this time, the White Zetsu's real body, who had received the news, rushed back, "Master Madara! Do you need to bring back all the White Zetsu? Your identity has been exposed to the Hidden Mist Village."

"No, it's not necessary!" Uchiha Madara rejected the proposal of White Zetsu. "If we lose the channel to obtain external intelligence, it means that we will not be able to understand the situation and dynamics of the outside world, and we will not be able to grasp the movements of the major ninja villages. This will make us blind and our situation will become more passive. The collection of intelligence is the top priority. We must always grasp the movements of the ninja world!"

"But next, you have to focus on finding out the identity of this Kirigakure ninja for me! I originally thought that the Third Mizukage was the strongest in the Kirigakure Village, but I didn't expect that there is someone stronger than him! Whose subordinate is this???" Uchiha Madara added, his tone filled with a hint of resentment. If it weren't for Kiyoshi's interference, his actions against the Kirigakure Village would be perfect.

"Okay! Lord Madara!" White Zetsu's true form responded.

"Go! And help Afei recover as soon as possible! I hope you'll have some good news when you wake me up next time!" Uchiha Madara pointed at Afei, who was brought back half-dead, and signaled to the White Zetsu's real body. Then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again, recalling every bit of his experience with Hashirama in his dreams.

-----------------

Uchiha Madara's final devastating blow was also sensed by the Hidden Cloud Village that was attacking Uzushio Village, and the Uzumaki clan leader Ashina Uzumaki who was defending with all their might, but they all ignored it.

Five days passed like this, and it was March of the 36th year of Kirigakure.

The defensive barrier of the Uzushio Village was getting weaker and weaker, and many members of the Uzumaki clan had already died because they had exhausted their physical strength and chakra. This was why the defensive barrier of the Uzushio Village could last for such a long time under the continuous ninjutsu attacks of so many ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village. On the one hand, it was because its defensive barrier was unique in the ninja world and had extremely strong defensive power. On the other hand, it was also due to the sacrifice of all the Uzumaki clan.

Except for the Uzumaki members who were taken away by Qingji, there are only a little over a hundred Uzumaki members still alive in Uzushio Village who can participate in the battle.

According to the estimation of the touching ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, with their current attack strength, the barrier of Uzushio Village will definitely be broken by them today.

Soon, half of the day had passed. Looking at the precarious and crumbling defense barrier of Uzushio Village, the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village could not help but increase the intensity of their attacks regardless of the consumption of chakra. The Third Raikage Ai also personally took to the battlefield to start the attack.

"Hah!" With a roar, the Lightning Chakra mode was directly pulled to the strongest state. The hair of the Third Raikage Ai stood up under the stimulation of Lightning Chakra, and the whole person looked full of power. The index finger of his right hand pointed forward, and the Lightning Chakra with a bit of destructive aura was gradually compressed to the tip of the index finger. The electric light kept jumping on the fingertips, making a "sizzling" sound.

Afterwards, Ai's figure disappeared in an instant, and he rushed directly towards the defensive barrier of Uzushio Village at a speed that was beyond the naked eye's observation. Without any prior preparation or any need for probing, he directly launched his most powerful attack, known as the "Strongest Spear".

"Hell Thrust - One Punch Hand!!!"

A hand directly poked at the defensive barrier. The defensive barrier kept twisting, but still refused to be broken. Seeing this, Ai's eyes widened in anger, and he shouted loudly. Chakra burst out crazily without regard for consumption, and his arm poked forward with force.
