Chapter 124 Uzumaki House Konoha!

Carried by Shisui, Uzumaki Karin felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

That was a feeling she had never experienced in her life before.

The country of whirlpools was destroyed, and Karin was born in the land of wandering and destitute, and she settled in Kusagakure Village...

Just recalling the past made Uzumaki Karin feel a pang of sadness in her heart.

Now, is this all finally coming to an end?
Uzumaki Karin's thoughts were caught up in an indescribable feeling.

"About to arrive."

Uchiha Shisui made a gentle voice.

Uzumaki Karin looked up and saw the outline of a huge village at the end of her field of vision.

Konoha?
I can't help but feel uneasy.

What kind of life will you have after arriving in Konoha?
Uzumaki Aoi didn't know if her decision was the right one.

The Country of Whirlpools was once an ally of Konoha, but when it was threatened with destruction, it did not wait for Konoha to rescue it.

What do you think of Konoha?
Is it a complaint? Or an expectation?

All the fantasies, worries, concerns... were like unspeakable silk, entangled in her mind.

"Are they... the Uchiha Peacekeepers?"

The ninja stationed on the wall of Konoha looked at Shisui and the Uchiha behind him with shocked eyes.

That’s right, this uniform is definitely from the Uchiha Peacekeeping Department!

His eyes were filled with reverence for a moment.

The Peacekeeping Department is the only department in Konoha that is completely open to the outside world. It is responsible for maintaining peace in the ninja world. What a noble profession!
Feeling the respectful gazes of the stationed ninjas, these Uchiha suddenly felt a strong sense of pride in their hearts.

It’s such a cool feeling to be respected!
When they were on guard duty in the past, some villagers were in awe of them due to their status, but this kind of respect that comes from the bottom of their hearts is two completely different feelings!
Maintaining peace in the ninja world, this is something that only Uchiha can do!
After entering Konoha Village, Shisui ran straight to Konoha Hospital.

Uzumaki Karin's injuries were serious and she had been traveling all night, so the most urgent thing was to give her a full physical examination.

……

After half an hour.

Konoha Hospital.

Uzumaki Xiangkui was lying on the hospital bed, and the infusion tube inserted into the vein on the back of her hand was slowly delivering medicine.

Uzumaki Karin looked at the pure white ceiling and suddenly felt that everything was unreal, like a dream.

Yesterday, she was still enduring the torture of the Kusagakure Ninja in Kusagakure Village.

Now I am in a completely different environment.

A strange voice was heard outside the ward.

"How is she?"

"Hokage, we are fortunate to have brought him here in time. The injured person is severely anemic, has multiple injuries, and has been suffering from long-term malnutrition. It is estimated that he will need a long time to recover."

Hokage-sama???

Uzumaki Karinaki's heart tightened when she was lying on the hospital bed.

Although she was not a ninja from one of the five major villages, she knew that only the leaders of the five major villages could be given the title of Kage.

Is the person outside the fifth Hokage of Konoha???

What is he doing here?
When she was nervous.

The door to the ward was pushed open.

What caught Uzumaki Karin's eyes was a head of brilliant golden hair.

"Hokage-sama..."

Her voice trembled with nervousness.

Uzumaki Karin, who was nestled beside her, became at a loss when she saw her mother so nervous, and her little hands wandered around, not knowing where to put them.

"Don't be nervous."

Namikaze Mirai spoke in a gentle tone.

"Your body needs to rest for a while, and someone will come to take care of your daily life."

"This is Konoha. From today on, you are safe."

Hearing these words, Uzumaki Karin's eyes seemed to be hit by something, her nose felt sour, and tears couldn't help but flow from her eyes.

After giving the instructions, Namikaze Mirai left.

He had other things to do. Sitting in front of the bed, little Karin looked at her tearful mother with a confused look.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

Uzumaki Karin wiped away her tears.

"Mom, I'm happy."

……

After leaving Konoha Hospital, Namikaze Mirai did not return to the Hokage room, but went straight to Konoha TV station.

All previous statements released by Konoha were filmed here.

"Lord Hokage!"

The ninja in charge of the filming saluted respectfully to Namikaze Mirai.

“I was going to shoot a statement.”

"statement?"

The ninja was slightly startled.

"Okay, I'll go find Yamato-sama and Tsunade-sama right away."

Yamato is the Minister of Agriculture and the pioneer of hybrid rice, and Tsunade is the President of the Red Cross.

Most of the statements issued by Konoha these days were taken by these two people.

"No, I'll come in person this time."

The ninja who was about to ask Yamato and Tsunade for help stood there in a daze.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

The Hokage is going to make a statement himself?
This has never happened before!

"Okay! I'll get ready right away!"

The photographer ninja reacted and was full of energy. Hokage was the first one to make the announcement, so he had to take the best picture no matter what! !

ten minutes later.

Residents of the Land of Fire, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Grass, the Land of Earth and other surrounding countries who were watching TV programs suddenly saw a statement interrupted.

At first, most people didn't take it seriously.

Until I saw the Hokage hat he was wearing and the divine robe that looked like flames burning on white forge.

"I, Namikaze Mirai, take the name of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha."

The fifth Hokage???
People sitting in front of the TV held their breath.

Naruto!

This is the Fifth Hokage!
What kind of statement will the Hokage make?
In such anticipation, the sound from the TV spread.

The voice is soft.

"All the wandering members of the Uzumaki clan, no matter what kind of suffering you are going through or what kind of life you are living, come to Konoha!"

"Konoha will accept you! And provide you with a new life!"

"The Uzumaki clan wandering in the ninja world! Come to Konoha, Konoha will be your new home!"

Konoha Hospital.

Lying on the hospital bed, Uzumaki Karin was watching the statement playing on the TV on the wall, tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down.

In the dilapidated slums of River Country, a red-haired woman was sitting in front of an old TV, with tears seeming to glisten in her eyes.

The Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, the Land of Grass... The Uzumaki clan, who were wandering around the ninja world, were all filled with complicated emotions after seeing this statement.

The land of rain.

A dark and damp underground space.

Nagato looked at the images transmitted back from Pain's Six Paths, gritting his teeth and his face twisted into an extremely ugly expression.

Hokage! The fifth Hokage, it wasn't enough to take away the civilians of the Rain Country.

Are they targeting even the descendants of the Uzumaki clan now?
Intense hatred burst out from Nagato's rippling purple eyes.

If Konoha really cared about the Uzumaki clan, why didn't it rescue them when the Uzumaki Country was destroyed?
Why such a hypocritical attitude?

"A conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy!"

"Damn Konoha! How dare you lay your hands on my people!"
