15 Chap 15 - Is This a War or a Massacre?

When the shinobi saw the image in front of them, they simply felt their minds freeze, as if it were all an illusion.

An Iwagakure Shinobi who still retained some sanity, swallowed hard and asked the question everyone wanted to ask:

" Hey…hey…this is a joke, right? Is that really is Kitsuchi-sama?! "

Another Iwa Shinobi couldn't find the strength to stand and fell on his butt on the wooden ship's deck.

As everyone was about to collapse, a shinobi from Kirigakure screamed with blood in his eyes:

" And what does it matter if he defeated the Kages? The Third Mizukage has always been an arrogant asshole! I don't care about him! And also…we can only fight now! I can't believe he can kill nearly ten thousand shinobi before his chakra runs out!! "

For some reason that Ryuuji doesn't understand, the Kirigakure shinobi's desperate speech took away some of the fear in the heart of the army and a rampant shouting started in the place as the higher-ranking ninjas organized the army to start the attack against Ryuuji.

Amidst the curses and promises of pain, Ryuuji remained calm. Preparing for his next attack, he muttered under his breath:

"Why do the most absurd things always come out of the mouths of Kiri shinobi? Well, it's not like he's totally wrong. I really don't want to deal with them all, otherwise why would I prepare Uzushiogakure for the fight? But before I bring my army here…let's decrease enemy numbers to even out this game. "

Ryuuji closed his eyes and for the first time since creating the seal, he released the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

As the marks covered Ryuuji's face, the gravity around him began to get stronger, churning the ocean and forcing all enemy shinobi to lock their feet onto the wooden ships with chakra.

Ryuuji slowly opened his eyes and used the next few seconds to adapt to the monstrous amount of chakra that poured into his body.

His Kryptonian cells were drinking this energy like a black hole swallowing everything that came near him and because of this, Ryuuji could feel his body and soul rapidly strengthening, until he felt his physiology reach a limit, probably caused by the his young age.

Ryuuji let out a sigh and focused all his attention on the enemies in front of him.

The redhead raised his right arm and began to focus a monstrous amount of chakra on it. Gradually Ryuuji was converting this chakra into Wind Release chakra, creating a small flow of air around his body.

" I hope any of you survive this, otherwise my army won't be able to fight. "

One of the shinobi with perceptual abilities managed to get out of the shock caused by Ryuuji's monstrous amount of chakra and screamed in desperation:

" Pay Attention! He's going to attack with something big, use defensive techniques if you want to live!! "

The shinobis followed the sensor's advice and began using defensive techniques such as Water Release: Water Formation Wall.

Ryuuji ignored all of this and tensed the muscles in his right arm before bringing it down with all his might, as if he were cutting through the space in front of him.

In the next moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button, silence reigned in the place. But that silence didn't last more than a few milliseconds.

From Ryuuji's arm, a huge blade of golden-colored compressed air exploded and practically split the ocean in half, flying for tens of kilometers until it left the field of vision of those present.

Hundreds of shinobi died just from being close to the air blade, but that was just the beginning of Ryuuji's attack. After Ryuuji's attack passed, the two halves of the ocean he created began to merge again, engulfing everything and everyone nearby.

Ryuuji just watched as the enemy shinobi did their best just to not drown as the two side waves collided and crushed them.

" Looks like it's time for the next step in the plan. "

Ryuuji once again blasted his chakra and slammed his palm into the empty space.

With a burst of smoke, four crocodiles over fifty meters long appeared around Ryuuji, at the same time, a small crocodile wrapped itself around the redhead's neck.

While reading the entire forbidden library of the Uzumaki Clan, Ryuuji found an old Summoning Contract and without thinking twice, he signed and summoned Kurowani, the leader of the crocodile family that has always been paired with the ancestors of the Uzumaki Clan.

After showing his power to the little crocodile, Ryuuji got the biggest reinforcement possible for a war, a family of giant crocodiles.

" Ryuuji-sama…I thought you would never call us. "

Ryuuji looked at the small reptile wrapped around his neck and smiled:

" I didn't make you wait thirty minutes, Kurowani. You are really looking forward to fighting. "

The little reptile whipped the air with its tail and responded excitedly:

" Of course, Ryuuji-sama! It's been almost a century since we last fought alongside the Uzumaki Clan! Finally there is someone who calls us to play so it's only natural to be happy! "

" All right, Kurowani, since you guys are so eager to fight, let's get this show on the road. "

Ryuuji collected the Strength of a Hundred Seal and turned it back into a diamond shape on his forehead.

The redhead looked at the giant crocodiles around him and nodded. The summoned animals opened their giant jaws and from within their mouths, the entire army of Uzushiogakure came out.

With his entire army in place, Ryuuji slowly descended and landed his feet in the choppy waters of the ocean.

" Now that everyone is here, we will do as planned. Don't let the enemies recover their positions, take the opportunity to attack now that they are harmed by my last attack. Have no mercy because we are doing this to protect our home! "

With a shout, the Uzushiogakure army attacked the enemy army, which was still trying to recover from the turmoil created in the ocean by Ryuuji's attack.

Most of the army was made up of members of the Uzumaki clan, so attacks were mostly made from a distance with Adamantine Sealing Chains.

When an enemy shinobi finally managed to make it back to the surface, he was greeted with a golden chain before he even adjusted his stance on the water's surface.

Benihime, as the second most powerful ninja in the clan, commanded a dozen shinobi with strong hand-to-hand fighting skills to kill all shinobi who could protect themselves from ranged attacks, thus turning Uzushiogakure's army into a well-oiled killing machine.

Enemy shinobi were quickly dying without having the slightest chance of retaliation, but Ryuuji didn't think it was enough.

As the difference in the amount of shinobi between the two sides was too great, Ryuuji wanted to end everything as cleanly as possible to avoid any likelihood of retaliation.

" Kurowani…go with your companions to the depths of the waters and ensure that most of the drowned shinobi are killed. "

The little reptile followed its summoner's order and soon the giant crocodiles plunged into the depths of the ocean.

Ryuuji created a dozen clones and scattered them across the battlefield to ensure that everyone in his army returned to this war alive.

He didn't intend to be a nanny for his village, but he wouldn't stand by and watch them die either. This war has always been something unfair to Uzushiogakure, so why should he hold back any more than he already has?

With a two-way attack, the coalition of enemy shinobi didn't hold out for long and a few minutes later, of the seven thousand shinobi who survived Ryuuji's attack, there were now only a few hundred left, who were mostly Jounin level and were already totally exhausted. .

" Stop the attack. "

Ryuuji's steady voice rang out on the spot, stopping all Uzushio's shinobi's movements.

" Block their chakra and prepare to return to the village. This war… we won! "

Uzushiogakure's army erupted in sounds of celebration and tears of happiness, while the enemies only accepted their fate as prisoners of war.

A Kumo shinobi swallowed hard as he accepted his fate.

" Is this a war or a massacre? "

…

Benihime approached Ryuuji and smiled. Ryuuji ignored the blood on his mother's clothes and pulled her into a hug.

" You were amazing, my precious Ryuuji. "

Ryuuji only replied with an "hum" and gave his mother a light kiss on the cheek.

" I promised I would protect our home, Mom. "

Benihime smiled and placed herself next to Ryuuji.

" And now, Ryuuji? "

Ryuuji looked at the three people who were attached to his adamantine chains.

" Prepare the message that Uzushiogakure will send to Kirigakure, Iwagakure and Kumogakure. It's good these villages are willing to obey my demands, otherwise these three will die and I'll bring the war to them. "

" Then give me the information and I'll handle it myself. You have something else to do now. "

Ryuuji nodded his head.

" I will leave Kurowani with you. Use him and the other crocodiles to take them all back. I will go now. "

Ryuuji slowly levitated up to the blue sky and looked towards Konoha. The redhead took one last look at the battlefield before flying towards the Land of Fire.

…

A few hours before the confrontation between Uzushiogakure and the three Villages.

In a large room, two grown men were having a rather heated argument.

"Hiruzen, you are very foolish. You know very well that girl from the Uzumaki Clan will never be loyal to Konoha, so it's best to transfer the Kyuubi to her at once and hand it over to me! "

Hiruzen looked at his longtime friend and let out a sigh.

" You're not considering the destruction of Uzushiogakure. When the entire Uzumaki Clan is destroyed, who do you think that young girl will lean on? in Konoha. "

Danzo huffed in disgust and replied:

" Do you think Ryuuji Uzumaki will die in this war? With that child's ability to fly, no one in the ninja world can kill him if he wants to run away. "

" Danzo, since you came back from the capital you haven't stopped talking about this child. What did he do to make you so traumatized? "

" Isn't it normal to prepare for future threats? Is a 9-year-old who can get an S-Rank in the Bingo Book not a threat to Konoha? We must prepare Kushina as the perfect weapon for this threat, or better yet, we can use the bond between the two to bring Ryuuji Uzumaki to our side. All we need to do is make the girl loyal to Konoha. "

Hiruzen pondered Danzo's words for a moment. The Third Hokage looked at his other two advisors.

" What do you think? "

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who until now have just been silent watching Hiruzen and Danzo argue, finally put their opinions on the table.

Homura looked at Danzo and nodded.

" I agree with Danzo's point of view. Ryuuji Uzumaki is a threat and should be treated as such. "

Koharu gave a similar opinion:

" I think using Kushina as a means of controlling Ryuuji is a great plan. The ROOT training has already proven itself to be perfect for ensuring absolute control over shinobi and is not something a child can resist. "

Danzo, taking advantage of the fact that the other elders were in agreement with him, decided to add even more fuel to the fire:

" From the way Kushina seems to be attached to Ryuuji, controlling the girl is the same as controlling Ryuuji. We will not only have a loyal Jinchuuriki but also a freak of nature that reached Kage level at the age of 8. "

Hiruzen blew out a puff of smoke and looked at the pictures on his office wall.

" Very good. I will speak with Mito-sama about this matter. Danzo, prepare the Senju residence for the transfer. "

As his companions left his office, the Hokage looked at the pictures of his predecessors on the walls before heaving a sigh.

" It's all for Konoha, I'm sure you would understand. "
