The Country is About to be Destroyed, What Should We Do?

After the Warring States Period ended, each major nation established its own hidden village, implementing a policy of one nation, one village. Among them, the five most powerful nations – the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth – established the five most formidable hidden villages.

The First Shinobi World War was slowly coming to an end, but the entire ninja world remained unsettled.

The Land of Whirlpools, a small island nation neighboring the Land of Fire, had a small land area, was surrounded by the sea on all sides, had a low population, and lacked national strength. It was a small country that could not survive a war. However, this country was currently in a state of decline.

"Your Highness, the Daimyo has called for you to return quickly," a ninja respectfully said to a red-haired child of about seven years old. "The Land of Whirlpools is not very safe lately."

"Hmm," Uzumaki Ryuto frowned his youthful face and nodded, saying, "I'll go back soon. Please tell my father not to worry."

"But..." The guard wanted to say something but was interrupted by Uzumaki Ryuto.

"Don't worry, I'll just stay in the Whirlpool Village," Uzumaki Ryuto waved his hand, indicating that he would not wander off, and the small island was not that big anyway. Apart from a small area where the clansmen and citizens lived, the rest was all wilderness and mountains.

Finally, the guard could only nod reluctantly and arrange for someone to inform the Daimyo.

Uzumaki Ryuto watched as the once peaceful and tranquil country gradually fell into a somber atmosphere. However, beneath this gloomy mood, the citizens still held hope in their eyes.

This was because they knew their best friends since ancient times – the Konoha Ninja Village.

They were sure Konoha would come to their aid. After all, the Konoha emblem featured the Whirlpool from their Whirlpool Village! This was a symbol of friendship! How could Konoha not help? As long as Konoha came to assist, they would not be in trouble because...

Konoha was very strong. The war was about to end, and everyone could see that Konoha had already emerged as the victor. The defeated Kirigakure would be easily surrounded and crushed by Konoha and their ally.

However...

They did not know that this time, when the clan leader of the Uzumaki Clan went to seek Konoha's aid, he would return with a rejection. The entire Land of Whirlpools would be destroyed, and the Uzumaki Clan would become a nation of wandering vagabonds, living a miserable life in the ninja world...

In the end...

The pure-blooded Uzumaki Clan could be considered almost extinct, with the red-haired Uzumaki Clan forcibly changed to blonde.

Uzumaki Ryuto looked around the Whirlpool Village with a melancholic expression. As a reincarnated person, he didn't reincarnate in Konoha, and he didn't have any cheat abilities. Instead, he reincarnated into the Land of Whirlpools, which was about to be destroyed. He was the son of the Daimyo, the future heir to the Land of Whirlpools, yet he had to watch his country be destroyed and end up as an orphan in Konoha. That was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the entire Uzumaki Clan would be wiped out, and Ryuto absolutely did not believe that Konoha would not have a hand in it.

One could say that ever since Uzumaki Suikou successfully became a Jinchuriki, the entire Uzumaki Clan became unsettled. Konoha definitely did not want other hidden villages to have Jinchuriki.

Konoha only needed one member of the Uzumaki Clan.

During the establishment of the one nation, one village policy, the Land of Whirlpools was actually a one village, one nation scenario. Yet, they were still destroyed by Kirigakure. Keep in mind that the entire Land of Whirlpools had only one clan – the Uzumaki Clan. The Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools was also from the Uzumaki Clan, and the combined strength of the entire nation and clan was still unable to stop Kirigakure.

The one pulling the strings behind the scenes...

Uzumaki Ryuto could only sigh!

On the other hand, this was probably also due to the Uzumaki Clan's nature. They were kind, honest, and naive, but also hot-tempered. They would often act without thinking and charge in recklessly. Perhaps this was the reason why the Uzumaki Clan failed to utilize their advantages, such as their terrain, and when trying to stop Kirigakure, they were provoked by a few taunts and insults, causing them to charge in rashly. How else could they have been destroyed on their own land?

It's worth noting that the Uzumaki Clan was a long-lived clan that had been passed down since ancient times! Barring any accidents, they could live for over a hundred years. So the Uzumaki Clan definitely had veterans and experienced elders, yet they were still defeated and destroyed on their own land.

It was truly...

"Big brother Ryuto," Just as Uzumaki Ryuto was contemplating how to save his country, a cute voice came from behind. Uzumaki Ryuto smiled slightly and said, "Kushina! What's wrong?"

Seeing a red-haired girl of about five or six years old walking towards him, Uzumaki Ryuto patted her head and said, "Why do you look so unhappy? Did someone bully you?"

This was none other than Uzumaki Kushina, the future mother of the Child of Prophecy, also known as the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. However, at this moment, she was just an adorable little girl. Uzumaki Ryuto estimated that her hot-tempered nature in Konoha was likely a way to protect herself, especially after witnessing the destruction of her own country and being bullied and mocked by other students at the Academy.

"Dad came back, but he's ignoring me," Kushina pouted unhappily. "He seems really angry."

Upon hearing Kushina's words, Uzumaki Ryuto was taken aback for a moment, then sighed sadly. It seemed that history had not changed. He looked at Kushina with pity. Although she would eventually meet a loving man, become the Hokage's wife, she would not enjoy the life of a leader's wife, as she would lose her life in the future.

Moreover, after becoming the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, she was effectively imprisoned by Konoha and bullied and mocked by the villagers. Finally, during childbirth, someone sabotaged her, causing her death. Thinking of this, a cold gleam flashed in Uzumaki Ryuto's eyes. Damn it! He would not let himself go through such an ordeal. As long as the Land of Whirlpools survived, he would begin to help develop the nation's strength. If Konoha ever said anything again, claiming their long-standing friendship, he would spit right in the Third Hokage's face.

"Uncle, the clan leader, might have encountered something unpleasant!" Uzumaki Ryuto comforted Kushina by patting her head and said, "He didn't mean to ignore you."

"Really?" Kushina looked up at Uzumaki Ryuto with longing.

Seeing this, Uzumaki Ryuto smiled, "Of course, Kushina is so adorable."

Upon hearing Uzumaki Ryuto's words, Kushina's face turned red as she shyly lowered her head.

Were children these days so mature?

"By the way, where are Uncle, the clan leader, and the others now?" Uzumaki Ryuto asked. He could not let this continue. If things went on like this, the Land of Whirlpools would truly be destroyed, and the nation would become the Land of Waves, a country without even a single ninja.

Furthermore, as a reincarnated person and the heir to a nation, he couldn't just watch his country perish and end up as a wandering orphan in the ninja world, or even worse, die. That would be too pathetic and embarrassing!

Uzumaki Ryuto sighed inwardly. But he didn't have much ability yet! Even though he was a genius, due to his young age, his current strength was only that of a chunin. He couldn't even access his system... Wait - he couldn't activate it at all? He had automatically reincarnated here, and when he was still a child, he discovered he had an ability system. He thought his life had reached its peak and set himself the goal of crushing the ninja world by age seven and defeating the Six Paths. But then...

The system couldn't be activated at all!! 

Without being able to allocate points, how was this reincarnated person supposed to become the God of the Ninja World at age seven and destroy it?!

"They're... in the meeting room, it seems. Calling the clan elders for a meeting," Kushina said shyly with her head still lowered.

Hearing this, Uzumaki Ryuto frowned in thought. It looked like war preparations needed to be made. He said to Kushina, "Big brother has something to discuss with Uncle, the clan leader. I'll play with Kushina another time."

He absolutely would not let the Uzumaki Clan perish or allow his clansmen to become slaves of another nation. And Kushina...she would live happily in the Land of Whirlpools.

"Okay!!" Hearing that her brother Ryuto had something to take care of and couldn't play with her, Kushina felt disappointed but still nodded agreeably. Although young, she was very sensible and could tell Ryuto didn't have his usual smile, so she knew he really did have something important to handle.

...

"Damn Konoha! How could they do this?!"
