Hanzo's threat

"I am Senju Isao. I am from the Senju Clan of Konoha. I am asking to take you away is because you are an Uzumaki. The Senju Clan Head, Senju Araki is willing to give asylum to all the Uzumaki Clan Members around the world. He will protect you from anyone…" Isao started speaking, and before he realised it, he had spoken quite a lot.

Minato frowned a little, although he was aware that Araki would be willing to bring the Uzumaki Clan Members to the Senju Clan Manor, he didn't know if this would be alright to speak in this situation.

Hanzo was clearly intending on punishing these Akatsuki Members. Minato didn't know if Hanzo would allow Nagato, even though he was an Uzumaki to get away.

Nagato was somewhat surprised to hear this. He asked Isao, "I…don't trust in your words. Moreover, even if what you have said is true, I won't be leaving my friends behin-"

Before Nagato could finish his words, Yahiko shouted out, "He will go with you!"

"What?" Nagato turned towards Yahiko, clearly surprised by his shout, "I won't be leaving you all her-"

However, Yahiko came next to him and whispered, "From Hanzo's words a bit earlier, he may want to kill us all to make sure that Akatsuki's roots are burnt. But… If you can survive, you can lead the Akatsuki, carrying on my ambition. To bring peace to the whole world!"

"No! I don't want peace in which you two don't exist!" Nagato fiercely said to Yahiko, making his priorities known.

"Nagato, this is your chance. I want you to survive… If you survive, all my work will have been worth it. Akatsuki would have meaning only if someone survives… and you are the one getting this chance. Do not let it go…" Yahiko spoke, seemingly pleading Nagato.

Nagato still remained adamant though. He wasn't going to budge from this spot without the two of them.

"Nagato, Yahiko is right. I think you should listen to him." The most logical one between them spoke. It was naturally Konan…

Seeing his two friends pressuring him so much really didn't help Nagato's condition.

At the same time, Isao saw how attached Nagato was to his friends. He thought 'He is an Uzumaki, alright. It would be impossible to convince him to give them up. Should I also bring them over? Araki-sama shouldn't care much as long as they aren't enemies. The troublesome one is… Hanzo…'

Indeed, at this moment, Hanzo was staring at Isao and Minato.

He spoke to Minato, "Namikaze Minato… What is the meaning behind this? You think you can take away someone who is to be punished by me?"

Naturally, Minato was a little confused by what he should do.

But, he was sure that he couldn't abandon Isao here. Since Isao had spoken, Minato needed to respect his words. It wasn't just because Isao was a fellow Senju Clan member and Araki would give him hell if Minato returned without Isao. It was also because, in these 3 years, Isao had helped him out a lot.

The two of them have become a very good friend that Minato trusted Isao with almost anything. Since Isao was the one who wanted to bring away Nagato, Minato was going to stand by his side.

"As Isao has said, the Senju Clan Head has been very clear in his statement that he wants to find all the Uzumaki Clan Members and protect them." Minato said with a clear look in his eyes, "I will request you to let Uzumaki Nagato come with us."

Hanzo didn't show much of a reaction to Minato's words. But he was clearly hesitating, whether he should let Nagato go or not.

"You are all wasting your time here. As I said before, I won't be leaving my friends or my comrades behind. If they are to be punished, I will take that punishment as well." Nagato said quite loudly and clearly.

It seemed as if he had made up his mind.

At that moment, Isao spoke, "Alright then, bring them all with you. They can all come to the Senju Clan with you."

Not just the Akatsuki Members, Hanzo's men and even Minato were completely shocked at those words. Minato had a bit of bitter smile as he wondered 'Isao… You are normally so calm, so why are you making the situation even worse this time? Taking away a single person was still fine… but Hanzo won't let go of them all.'

Hanzo's eyes showed a trace of anger. He didn't even stare at Minato this time, straight away looking at Isao, "You boy! You have some nerve! You want to take them all away right in front of me?! Who do you think I am?!"

"I sincerely apologise about this Hanzo-sama. I have no intention of showing you any disrespect. However, it seems that only if I take them all will Uzumaki Nagato follow. I have no choice but to offend you for this. You can ask for compensation from Araki-sama, the Senju Clan head." Isao naturally understood the graveness of this matter. He had no choice but to use Araki's name.

He didn't know if it would be worth it to offend Hanzo for a single Uzumaki, but he still couldn't abandon one of his own clan members here.

"The Senju Clan Head? You think you can take them away while using the name of that brat? Not even Jiraiya or any other Sannin's name would suffice. You are from Konoha, so I am letting you live, do not impinge further on my generosity. Now get away!" Hanzo gave his order loudly.

Minato felt a strong pressure hit his body, but he remained there, not at all moving.

Meanwhile, Isao's eyes had a cold look in them, he muttered, "Brat? You think of Araki-sama as a brat?"

"I am telling you one last time, go away. Or else, I won't show any mercy. You would be buried underneath Ame and no one will find your corpse or will know if you were here." Hanzo said to Isao and Minato, making it clear that he wouldn't hesitate in targeting the two.

"You will kill me? You?" A small smirk appeared on Isao's face as he seemed to be asking Hanzo.

It was strange for Hanzo to see this pitiful boy who had been trembling just a little while earlier…

Even Minato whispered to Isao, "Isao… I don't think Hanzo will be using words any longer. He will really go through his words. We should get away while we can. I don't think Araki will appreciate it if you put your life on the line for some unknown person."

Isao shook his head negatively.

Meanwhile, Yahiko, Konan's shoulders dropped… It seemed as if Nagato really wouldn't be able to escape. Yahiko was even planning on attacking Nagato and make him unconscious before handing over Nagato to Isao. With this, he could rest assured of Nagato's life.

But… it seems that Hanzo had no plans of letting them go. This really was quite bad.

"Hanzo… Try repeating those words again." Isao said before he sent chakra in his kunai and threw it some distance away.

The Kunai hit the ground and seemed to be embedded in it.

The Shinobi around couldn't understand what Isao wanted to do with it. If he was attacking, that was quite a pitiful aim.

However, at that moment, many of them noticed a seal on the Kunai.

Suddenly, someone appeared next to that Kunai. It was quite an unfamiliar person to them.

Minato's eyes widened upon seeing him, and Isao merely smiled.

"A-Araki!" Minato spoke out, unable to believe that he had just witnessed teleportation. Moreover, this was something quite similar to the Second Hokage's Flying Raijin Jutsu.

Did this mean that Araki could use the Flying Raijin Jutsu?! He never knew about this.

Upon having come, Araki's first words were, "Hmm? Why have you called out for me, Isao?" He picked up the Kunai while turning towards Isao's direction and asked curiously, ignoring everyone else around them.
