Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

In the capital of the Whirlpool Country, a fierce battle is still going on.

The Third Raikage Ai stood at the commanding heights of the battlefield, observing the situation around him coldly.

His lightning chakra armor flashed with dazzling light, and a powerful aura enveloped the battlefield.

However, the current battle situation made him frown.

The raid by the coalition forces of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Mist Village, and the Hidden Iwa Village has been going on for several days. Although they successfully broke through the capital of the Whirlpool Country and seized a large number of sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, the situation has now undergone subtly changes.

The ninja troops of Konoha Village are coming with great force, led by powerful ninjas such as Hatake Sakumo and Senju Tsunade, and are launching a fierce counterattack against the coalition forces.

The Third Raikage was well aware of Konoha's strength. Although he was confident that he could compete with Konoha's elite ninjas, continuing to fight would only bring unnecessary casualties to the Hidden Cloud Village's troops.

The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques have already been taken back for research, which are enough to take the Hidden Cloud Village's sealing technology to the next level and be used to control the power of the tailed beasts.

"The elite ninjas of the Uzumaki clan have been almost wiped out, and only a few remnants remain." The Third Raikage thought to himself, "Although the Uzumaki clan has not been completely wiped out, they are no longer a threat to us."

He had already made up his mind - now that the strategic goal had been basically achieved, there was no need to continue to tangle with Konoha.

Withdrawing troops and preserving strength is the wisest choice at the moment.

The Third Raikage quickly gave the order to withdraw.

He said to the commanders of the Hidden Cloud Village around him in a deep and powerful voice: "Pass the order, all troops are ready to retreat. We have achieved our goal, there is no need to tangle with Konoha here."

Although the commanders of the Hidden Cloud Village were a little surprised, they knew that the Third Raikage's decisions were always well thought out. Since he believed that withdrawal was the best option, they naturally had no objection.

At the same time, the Third Raikage quickly conveyed his intention to withdraw to the commanders of the joint forces of the Iwagakure Village and the Mist Village.

After receiving the news, the Third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village and the Third Mizukage of the Kirigakure Village also thought deeply about it.

"We have already obtained the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. Continuing to fight with Konoha will only increase the losses." The Third Tsuchikage said calmly. He was not willing to confront Konoha head-on, and now seeing the powerful combat effectiveness of Konoha's reinforcements, he had already thought of retreating.

The Third Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village also nodded: "Konoha is still very powerful. Continuing to fight will only cause great damage to our village. Withdraw, this battle is no longer worth continuing."

As a result, the commanders of the Iwagakure Village and the Mist Village quickly issued orders to withdraw, and the coalition forces of the three countries began to evacuate the Land of Whirlpools in an orderly manner.

As the withdrawal order of the Three-Nation Alliance was issued, the situation on the battlefield began to change.

The allied ninjas quickly gathered their troops, gave up the attack on the capital of the Whirlpool Country, and began to retreat to the rear.

Although they had seized a large number of sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan, facing the fierce offensive of the Konoha ninjas, they understood that continuing to fight would only put themselves in an unfavorable situation.

Yingyue stood at the front line of the battlefield and keenly noticed the enemy's unusual movements.

Seeing the signs that the Three Kingdoms' Allied Forces were gradually retreating, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Although the enemy was retreating, Yingyue knew that he could not let his guard down.

"They are retreating!" Yingyue quickly conveyed this information to Hatake Sakumo and other Konoha ninjas.

After calmly analyzing the situation, Hatake Sakumo decisively ordered: "We can't let them retreat easily! Chase them and weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible!"

Upon hearing this, the Konoha ninjas quickly adjusted their formation and began to pursue the retreating enemy forces.

Uchiha Yingyue once again stood at the forefront of the pursuit team, his heart filled with rage for revenge.

"We can't let them escape easily with the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique!" Yingyue gritted his teeth, chakra surged in his body, combining fire escape and wood escape to launch the strongest attack, trying to completely block the enemy's retreat route.

Under the leadership of Uchiha Kagezuki, the Konoha ninjas launched a fierce pursuit of the coalition forces.

The raging flames of Fire Release and the giant trees of Wood Release intertwined together, forming a ruthless killing field.

Although the commanders of the coalition forces tried their best to command their troops to retreat, they still paid a huge price under the fierce attack of the Konoha ninjas.

In the end, the coalition forces of the three countries successfully evacuated the territory of the Whirlpool Country after paying a heavy price in casualties.

They returned to their respective villages with the stolen sealing techniques. Although their strategic goals were basically achieved, they also knew that this battle had deepened their hatred for Konoha.

Uchiha Yingyue stood in the ruins of the battlefield, watching the enemy's backs gradually disappear into the distance with cold eyes.

Although he still had some anger in his heart, he also understood that the most important task at the moment was to protect the survivors of the Uzumaki clan and ensure their safety.

"The battle in the Land of Whirlpools is over for now, but the impact of this battle is far from over." Yingyue thought silently in his heart, "Next, the conflict between Konoha and the major ninja villages will only intensify... and I must become stronger."

The battle in the Whirlpool Kingdom is over, but the consequences are tragic.

The once prosperous Whirlpool Country has now become a ruin. After the ravages of war, the land is covered with broken houses and charred land.

The once powerful Uzumaki clan has now been severely damaged and its population has dropped sharply.

This sudden war caused heavy casualties among the Uzumaki clan's elite ninjas, and the population of the entire Uzumaki clan decreased by nearly 80%.

Most of those who survived were children, the elderly and civilians who had no fighting ability.

Most of the elite ninjas who once fought for their families and countries now rest in peace on this homeland.

What is even more tragic is that the leader of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Hitoshi, and all his clansmen died heroically in the battle.

The complete destruction of the Daimyo line of the Whirlpool Country meant that the Uzumaki clan had lost its most powerful pillar and leader.

Under such circumstances, even if the Uzumaki clan managed to survive, it would be difficult for them to maintain the operation of a country.

"I'm afraid the name of the Whirlpool Kingdom can no longer be preserved..." Yingyue sighed as he stood on the ruins of the former capital. He knew very well that without a strong man and a leader, the Whirlpool clan could no longer support the name of the Whirlpool Kingdom.

However, the Uzumaki clan was not alone. Among the reinforcements from Konoha Village, some were members of the Senju clan, who were of the same lineage as the Uzumaki clan. As distant relatives of the Uzumaki clan, some members of the Senju clan decided to stay and protect this already devastated clan.
