Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 150
"Where are Yunin and Wunin, have you replied? I remember that it has been a month since we sent the letter?"

On this day, when Xuehui was processing documents as usual, he asked Nara Shikanosuke beside him.

"Not at all. In my opinion, there will be no reply from them."

Kanosuke shook his head in denial.

"It's true." Xue Hui laughed.

"It looks like they have different plans!"

"Forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth. At least we have tested the attitudes of the two countries through this letter, and it is not fruitless."

Xuehui said optimistically.

"Jing, it's not like Ri Zhan didn't reply to us, right?"

Xuehui turned to ask about Uchiha Kagami Konoha's contact.

"Hizan said that according to the covenant signed by the two parties, Konoha will prepare reinforcements. Once Uzumaki Country is in danger, Konoha will send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Uchiha mirror shook the letter in his hand, and there was a letter written by Hirizan on it.

"Really? That's good news."

Xuehui smiled.

"But he also mentioned one more thing in the letter, Xue Hui."

Jing restrained his smile and said to Xue Hui.

"Speak, I'm listening."

"Hizun said that Mito-sama's physical condition has become less optimistic since this year."

Mirror sighed.

"Oh?" Xue Hui didn't have a sad expression when he heard the news, but a playful expression.

"Xuehui, aren't you worried about Mito-sama?"

Seeing Xue Hui's reaction, Jing asked strangely.

"Worry, if my aunt is really ill."

Xuehui smiled.

"What does this... mean?" Uchiha mirror didn't understand.

"You should already know the longevity of the Uzumaki clan, right?"

Xuehui asked.

"Ah."

"Our clan, like the Qianshou clan, also has a special immortal body. The stronger the clansman, the longer the theoretical lifespan."

"Then, Jing, let me ask you, judging from the strength of my aunt who can be called the strongest in the history of the Uzumaki clan, as long as there are no additional factors, is it really about to die at this age?"

Relying on his understanding of Ri Zhan, Xue Hui exposed Dao.

"Why did he say that that day?"

Uchiha mirror asked puzzled.

"This is the way a smart person speaks. Although I think it's unnecessary, killing him is a disguised reminder to provide qualified candidates for the next Renzhuli as soon as possible!"

"I see!"

Uchiha mirror suddenly realized.

"Hehe, it seems that he doesn't trust me, so he wants me to send the candidate to Konoha in advance, so that he has time to investigate."

Xue Hui put his hands on his chest and hummed.

"After so many years, he is still the same!"

Uchiha mirror shook his head and said helplessly.

"No, I don't dare to underestimate him. Compared to when I first became Hokage, it's already hard for me to find loopholes to take advantage of now."

Xuehui expressed different opinions.

"You guys, after all, we have been friends for so long, can't we be less calculating?"

Uchiha mirror said angrily.

"I don't want to, but standing in Ying's position, some things are beyond your control, Jing, I think Ri Zhan also understands this."

Xue Hui spread his hands and said.

"At least, he didn't completely ignore our friendship, did he?"

"makes sense."

Jing and Xuehui looked at each other and smiled.

……

After that, with Xuehui as the leader, the Uzumaki Kingdom formulated a defense plan with Yunnin and Mistnin as the main imaginary enemies.

Konoha is their own ally, Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja have signed a non-aggression treaty, and other small countries are not worthy in Xuehui's eyes now, as long as their leader is a sensible person, they dare not venture into this muddy water.

The first is to make full use of the well-developed shipbuilding industry and maritime strength that have been developed so far, and closely monitor every move on the border of the country of water.

In the past few years, not only merchant ships, but under Xuehui's instruction, the Kingdom of Waves is also tentatively researching and building new warships.

Wu Ninja Village is not weak now. Although the sea power is not too important, the size of the big country still puts the opponent's water power on par with the country of the whirlpool.

At least, the other side wants to land directly in the Vortex Kingdom by sea, and the gain outweighs the loss, and Xue Hui is very satisfied with his own sea power that can do this now, which shows Xue Hui's policy and investment in the past few years Not in vain.

Then, the rest is the land direction, which is the threat from Yun Nin.

Naturally, Xue Hui didn't want the war to happen in his own territory, so the border between Tang Country and Uzumaki Country became the best battlefield in Xue Hui's eyes.

Moreover, since there is a short distance between the country of Uzumaki and the country of Tang, the territory of the country of fire, this means that Konoha's support can come sooner.

After setting a preliminary goal, a large number of ninjas from Uzushio Village began to mobilize.

"I've always wondered. Knowing the relationship between Konoha and us, he would not hesitate to offend Konoha and invade us, just for the unconfirmed and illusory method of perfect Jinchuriki? This is a normal and experienced person. Jonin knows it’s a bad game, doesn’t it?”

At the meeting, Nara Shikanosuke raised doubts that had troubled him for a long time.

"I have also thought about this question, and the two possibilities I came up with are—"

"After discussing, they decided that obtaining spoils of war is higher than risk. After all, the sealing technique of the Uzumaki Clan is not only used to seal the tailed beast."

"Furthermore, they are very confident in their own strength, and believe that the strength shown in the battle with us will make Konoha feel afraid and dare not pursue responsibility afterwards."

"I don't know the third generation of Mizukage, but the third generation of Raikage is a rare strong man, even stronger than the second generation of Raikage."

Xuehui reminded.

"By the way, I almost forgot, I have one more thing to announce, please pass it on later."

Xue Hui clapped his hands, and a guard outside the door came in holding a small box and put it on Xue Hui's desk.

Xue Hui nodded to the other party to express his thanks, and watched the other party back out. Xue Hui reached into the box and took out a piece of forehead protection.

"This is……"

The mirror looked at the emblem of the Uzumaki clan engraved on the forehead.

"This is the forehead that will represent the identity of our Uzushio Village ninjas in the future."

Xuehui explained to Jing and Momoka Senshou:

"I originally wanted to think of a new symbol, but the battle is imminent, so I just use this swirl pattern! Anyway, even Konoha's forehead is designed on this swirl pattern, so what reason do we have?" Don't you need it?"

"I don't think the clansmen will have any objections. After all, they have lived here for so long, and they should have deep feelings for the land where the vortex was built!"

Jing and Taohua looked at each other, and nodded in agreement with Xuehui's decision.
