I'm Willing to Serve as Your Slave

"Um... sir?"

Standing beside Toki was a beautiful young woman in her early twenties with red hair and red eyes. At first glance, she bore a striking resemblance to Kushina Uzumaki. And she was none other than the second unexpected surprise Toki encountered when he arrived in the Hidden Grass Village— Uzumaki Chizuru!

She was supposed to be Karin Uzumaki's mother in the anime, but due to the butterfly effect, Chizuru was still single at this time. She had just sought refuge in the Hidden Grass Village not long ago, and now she had been sold to Toki by the Kusakage for 5 million ryo. Even though the Uzumaki clan had been extinct for many years, there were still unidentified individuals offering rewards for them on the black market. Getting 5 million ryo for her was definitely not a loss.

Moreover, Toki knew that she was a direct descendant of the imperial bloodline, just like Kushina Uzumaki, and more importantly, she was a distant relative of the Senju clan. Buying her for 5 million ryo was definitely not a loss, especially since the Rinnegan required Senju blood, or more precisely, the blood of a Sage. Chizuru looked sorrowful, facing the hostile forces of the Senju clan, her distant relatives. She couldn't imagine what tragic fate awaited her next. With a pitiful expression, Chizuru asked,

"Can you tell me where I will be sent next?"

Toki glanced at Chizuru and spoke,

"Don't worry, I won't hand you over to Konoha."

Chiyo was taken aback, looking at Toki in disbelief. Toki slowly asked,

"The destruction of the Uzumaki clan involved the involvement of Konoha's ANBU, right?"

Chizuru bit her lip, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. The Uzumaki clan, alongside the Senju and Uchiha clans, were once known as powerful families. Even after excluding the individual combat power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the strength of the Uzumaki clan surpassed that of the Senju and Uchiha clans. The fact that the Uzumaki clan could establish the Whirlpool Village and the Land of Whirlpools on their own showed the strength of the Uzumaki clan.

Rather than saying that the Senju clan inherited the Sage's body, it was more accurate to say that the Uzumaki clan was the inheritor of the Sage's body. After all, the Senju clan only produced one Hashirama Senju, but every member of the Uzumaki clan was a Naruto Uzumaki. Every pure-blooded member of the Uzumaki clan possessed a vast amount of chakra and innate talent for controlling chakra. Such a powerful clan was definitely the solid backing of the Senju clan. As long as the Uzumaki clan was not destroyed, Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea of ​​incorporating the Hokage into the Sarutobi clan would definitely not be realized.

Wasn't the reason why the many countries joined forces to destroy the Uchiha clan because they coveted their terrifying sealing jutsu that could control tailed beasts? As a result, villages like Kirigakure and Kumogakure, which were supposed to be allies of the Land of Whirlpools, were still using the inferior sealing jutsu that would go berserk all the time. On the other hand, Konohagakure, this ally who came to the rescue late, not only obtained the Uzumaki bloodline, but also managed to complete the sealing jutsu. This was no joke. Many Uzumaki clan members who fled from the Land of Whirlpools would rather be bitten to death alive or stay in the war-torn Amegakure than seek refuge in Konohagakure, the ally of the Land of Whirlpools. Even the Land of Whirlpools didn't put up any significant resistance. It's very likely that they were poisoned and betrayed by their ally, Konohagakure, which gave other countries an opportunity to exploit the situation.

Now, the appearance of Uzumaki Chizuru has completely confirmed Toki's previous speculations. It is highly probable that the old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi, under the pretext of needing a new Jinchuriki, took the opportunity to assassinate the top brass of the Land of Whirlpools and then took Uzumaki Kushina and the inheritance of the Land of Whirlpools back to Konohagakure. This also led to the fact that the direct descendants of the Uzumaki clan who knew the truth did not dare to seek refuge in Konohagakure, but instead hid in small ninja villages to survive. If it weren't for Uzumaki Chizuru's death, Uzumaki Karin would definitely not have been forced by Kusagakure to participate in the Chunin Exam, and thus been discovered by Orochimaru and taken under his wing.

Looking at the silent Chiyo, Toki slowly spoke,

"Our Uchiha clan is now facing the same situation as your Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan. That old man Hiruzen Sarutobi has always wanted to eliminate the Uchiha clan as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry about me handing you over to Konoha. On the contrary, the Uchiha clan is now undergoing a revolution within Konoha. All the persecuted ninja clans will be protected by our Uchiha clan."

Chiyo looked at Toki excitedly and said,

"Is what you said true?!"

Toki smiled and reached out his hand, saying,

"Of course it's true. I'm very good friends with the only heir of the Senju clan, Tsunade. If you don't believe me, I can send you to her to stay."

At these words, Chiyo couldn't help but burst into tears. She had experienced too many days of homelessness over the years. When the Uzumaki clan was destroyed, she was about the same age as Kushina Uzumaki. It was extremely difficult for her to survive with her red hair.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Chiyo knelt down excitedly, kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude.

"This humble one is willing to follow Lord Toki as a servant!"
