Chapter 105: Aunt

Chapter 105: Aunt

Silence and tranquility reigned in the small room to which Uzumaki Makoto and Uzumaki Tetsuya had retreated.

Tsunade, Jiraya and Orochimaru were at the feast while Tetsuya left to talk, at the request of his grandfather, for a few words.

In this deathly silence, it was perfectly audible how the old Uzumaki brewed tea with his rather wrinkled hands.

A rather strange atmosphere of awkwardness and family comfort hovered in the room.

I thought we were going to talk. the hero squinted.

Oh, conversations go much better with tea. Makoto smiled kindly.

The old man radiated the aura of a good old grandfather, but Tetsuya was in no hurry to take it at face value, yet he is the leader of the clan, even if not the only one, but the leader.

What was this circus about? the hero frowned slightly, looking at the elderly Uzumaki with a serious look.

What are you talking about?

You know what I mean Tetsuya shook his head Why did you gather all of them in the hall? What's the point? Did you want to put pressure on pity? On feelings of conscience?

Oh, that's what you mean. without wiping the smile from his face, Makoto continued You're mistaken, I wasn't going to play on your feelings. And of course not because I'm so good, no. I just know it's pointless. Konoha won't help us, and even if he wants to, he simply won't have time. Today, at most tomorrow, the attack will begin and we will have to defend ourselves. Opponents specifically do everything very quickly, so that Konoha does not have time to help. Everyone who gathered in the hall was there of their own free will, of their own volition. They wanted to see you, and they also wanted to have their last feast.

Tetsuya thoughtfully looked at the old hands slowly and smoothly brewing tea and listened to Makoto.

Perhaps it is not visible behind their smiles, but they are all afraid, afraid that they will die tomorrow.

Do you not believe in victory at all?

Victory? No, I can only hope that the Uzumaki clan will not cease to exist. The enemy's forces outnumber ours by several times.

Why are you in this position? An entire village consisting of the legendary "Red-Haired Devils" can't give battle to several villages?

We just didn't think that someone would want to attack us. Moreover, we did not think that several villages would unite against us. We live by trade, because the land is not suitable for growing crops. With the money from the sale of seals and other goods, we bought food and other resources from the land of fire. We have a relatively small army that is able to protect us from one village, but... but who would have thought that they would want to destroy us simply because we are allies of the land of fire.

"Just because of that?" Do you think that all this is happening only because of the alliance with Konoha?

We both understand that this is so. Our land is barren and has no natural resources. Of course we are rich, but we are rich for one country. We are being attacked by as many as three. The money divided between the villages will only be able to pay for the costs of this very war. It's all pointless. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

You could surround the village with a barrier.

"Well, since everything is settled now, let's go to the feast," Makoto said, getting up, but Tetsuya stopped him.

Wait. he said, simultaneously putting a nondescript steelcolored box on the table - Here you go. This is for the techniques.

What is it?

Meanwhile, Kushina was studying the "gift" with might and main.

In this box, five of my chakra reserves. In fact, this is one big explosive seal, only in a different wrapper. Tetsuya said with a smile, watching Kushina quickly get covered in sweat and put the box back in place.

Unbelievable. Makoto whispered, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

This bomb is designed to cause little damage over long distances. Most likely it won't kill anyone, but a specially enhanced blast wave will disable all genins, chunins and possibly Jonins.

That's great! Makoto exclaimed, not without joy With this there are chances! he shouted, running out of the room, and at the end, when his body almost disappeared, he said Kushina, take Tetsuya to the feast.

The door behind the old Uzumaki quickly closed and Tetsuya and Kushina were left alone in awkward silence.

- "You're a fool father!" Kushina shouted in her head, nervous.

Deciding not to torment the girl, the hero spoke himself Well, lead ... Aunt. at the end, he singled out "Aunt".

Just Kushin is enough. She replied with a nervous smile and led Tetsuya to the place of the celebration.

There they were met by cheerful Orochimaru, Jiraya and Tsuna.

How long have you been. Jiraya said with a smile, sipping his wine.

There was no other way. And so let me introduce he pointed his index finger at Kushina This is our goal, a vessel for biju. Her name is Kushina Uzumaki, and she is my... aunt. I singled out "Aunt" again, the hero.

- hello. Kushina said softly, covering her embarrassed face with her hands.

Pfff! spat out the wine of Jiraya Kha-kha hahahahah. He coughed in a fit of laughter.

Orochimaru smiled out of the corner of his lips, and Tsunade tried to hide a huge grin with his palms.

The hero turned his gaze to Tsuna and said Why are you laughing? She's your grandmother.

Kha. she choked, eyes wide in shock, and Jiraya burst out laughing again. However, he soon got hit on the head.
