I am a member in Konoha

"It's 100% certain." Listening to Uzumaki Seto's words, Toshihiko said with great certainty.

"But I've never been able to figure out their motive for attacking the Kingdom of Whirlpool." Toshiyan said again.

At first, he suspected that the reason why Kirigakure Village attacked the Kingdom of Whirlpool was because of the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan and the special physique of the Uzumaki clan itself.

But after the Uzumaki Xia Wei incident happened, Toshihiko overturned his suspicion.

You must know that Uzumaki Xia Wei is the princess of the Kingdom of Uzumaki. Not only does she master most of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, she also has the purest bloodline.

If Kirigakure is really for the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique and bloodline, then Uzumaki Xia Wei would undoubtedly meet the requirements.

If it were Toshihiko himself, after catching Uzumaki Xia Wei, he would definitely take her out of the country of Uzumaki on the spot.

However, the ninjas of Kirigakure Village did not do this. Not only did they find a base in the Country of Uzumaki, they also chose to imprison Uzumaki Xia Wei.

Moreover, Uzumaki Xia Wei herself said that after she was taken away, the other party only asked about her identity and nothing else, which made Toshihiko feel even more incredible.

It can be said that after Toshihiko expressed his doubts, everyone including Uzumaki Seto fell into deep thought.

Although Kirigakure's base in the Country of Whirlpool has been taken away by Toshihiko. But they can send more troops at any time if they want.

Moreover, the names of the five major countries should not be blown out. The foundation they possess is unmatched by the Country of Whirlpool.

Once the Kirigakure Village makes up its mind, the Country of Whirlpool will never be able to withstand the opponent's attack.

The reason why Kirigakure did not dare to attack the Kingdom of Whirlpool openly was probably because it was worried about its ally behind it, Konoha Village.

But to put it bluntly, Uzushio Village and Konoha Village are only allies. The relationship between the two countries is largely due to the existence of Uzumaki Mito.

But in the face of certain interests, alliance relationships may not be so strong.

Just like the Uzumaki Kingdom was destroyed in later generations, if Konoha really worked hard, would it be impossible to investigate the truth of the matter?

not necessarily!

It's more likely that Konoha's top brass chose to turn a blind eye.

Just because the Kingdom of Whirlpool has been destroyed, Konoha has no obligation to avenge them without any benefit.

And it's the same now, even if it is found out that the mysterious ninja who attacked the Whirlpool Country is from Kirigakure Village.

So is Konoha really willing to go to war over this? The probability is very low.

If the Kingdom of Whirlpool wants to avoid the path of destruction like in the original work, it has no choice but to save itself.

So now we must figure out the motive behind Kirigakure Village’s attack on the Country of Whirlpool.

Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine and find a solution.

"Well, I vaguely heard before that they seemed to be using me as a hostage to make some kind of exchange with Father."

And when everyone was collectively lost in thought, Uzumaki Xia Wei said cautiously.

She didn't know if what she heard was useful, but given the current situation, it could be used as a reference.

"exchange?"

After Uzumaki Xia Wei finished speaking, Toshihiko raised his eyebrows slightly.

He raised his head and just met Uzumaki Seto's eyes.

"Uncle, have you ever captured an important figure in Kirigakure Village?" Toshiyan asked very directly.

When hostages are exchanged, the most likely possibility is to exchange people for people.

Therefore, Toshihiko speculated whether the Country of Whirlpool had captured someone from Kirigakure Village before, and this person was very important to Kirigakure Village, otherwise they would not have gone to such great lengths to fight.

"It shouldn't be. We did capture several ninjas from Kirigakure Village, but they were all spies. If this person is really important to Kirigakure Village, how could he accept such a mission?" Soon. Uzumaki Seto denied it.

Uzumaki Seto has to admit this. The Kingdom of Uzumaki does imprison some people from Kirigakure Village, but these people are all spies without exception, and their identities have been confirmed.

If there was really an important person among them, there was no way he wouldn't know about it.

After all, no country will choose to kill a spy after catching it unless it is for special reasons.

In addition to extracting information from them, it is also possible to conduct strategic exchanges.

Although the Kingdom of Whirlpool is a neutral country, it does not mean that they are really closed-minded and don't care about news from the outside world.

If other countries can send spies to the Kingdom of Whirlpool, then the Kingdom of Whirlpool can also send spies.

In this case, once the spies from both sides are captured, as long as a consensus is reached, a prisoner of war exchange can still be carried out. If not, a ransom can be exchanged.

"But they are not necessarily prisoners of war!" Toshiyan said softly: "If you guessed correctly, the group of flying ninjas who attacked us six years ago should also be from Kirigakure Village. Six years later, they have not given up. As long as we do not analyze If I’m wrong, then this person from Kirigakure Village is still in the Country of Whirlpool.”

"Flying ninjas six years ago? That's strange. Three years ago, Kirigakure Village took the initiative to propose a prisoner exchange to us, and I agreed. Logically speaking, everything that should be exchanged by then had already been exchanged. .”

After hearing Toshihiko's words, Uzumaki Seto frowned.

"Maybe this person was not a spy before he was caught." Toshiyan soon raised a possibility.

"Uncle, I want to go to the prison in your country of whirlpool. What do you think?"

Seeing Uzumaki Seto lost in thought, Toshihiko asked again.

If his guess is correct, it means that the important figure in Kirigakure Village is still in the Country of Whirlpool.

Moreover, the freedom of life should be restricted, so the only place is prison.

"Okay, but it's getting so late today and you've been tired all day. I'll let Uchiyama take you there tomorrow."

Since it was Toshihiko's request, Uzumaki Seto would naturally not refuse.

However, everything mentioned before is just everyone's speculation, so Uzumaki Seto seems to be in no rush for this moment.

"Okay~!" Junyan nodded gently.

········

The next morning.

Under the leadership of Uchiyama Uchiyama, Toshihiko and his party walked towards the prison of Uzumaki Country.

To be honest, Toshiyan was really shocked after seeing the so-called prison in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Originally, in his impression, the prison should be a dark and damp dungeon.

But the prison in the Kingdom of Whirlpool is a magnificent complex of buildings.

If he hadn't gotten the confirmation from Uzumaki Uchiyama, Toshihiko wouldn't have believed that this was actually a so-called prison.

Toshihiko even wanted to overturn his previous guess. It might be because the Country of Whirlpool was so rich that it attracted the prying eyes of Kirigakure Village.

And compared to living an ignoble existence in such troubled times, perhaps living in such a prison is also a very happy thing.

Of course, this thought only flashed through Toshiyan's mind.

Soon, under the leadership of Whirlpool Neishan, Junyan entered this 'luxury' prison.

Before Toshiyan arrived, the prison guards had already received the notice, so all the prisoners were gathered in the prison square in advance.

To put all the prisoners together, to be honest, this kind of thing would be difficult to achieve in other countries.

After all, there are no ordinary prisoners who can be imprisoned in the prison. In addition, ninjas have very special abilities. Once they gather together, accidents are likely to happen.

But in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, this kind of thing doesn't matter. Not to mention that the prison itself has been set up with a barrier. Every prisoner caught in has his own chakra sealed and wants to cause trouble under the eyes of the prison guards. , easier said than done.

After the arrival of Toshiyan and his entourage, the prisoners gathered in the square also started talking in low voices.

Because they knew very well that a big shot was visiting the prison.
