Naruto: Are you worthy of being called Sage Mode?

Konoha Hidden Village and Uzushio Hidden Village have been friends for generations, and many Uzumaki clan marks can still be found in Konoha to this day.

There is the mark of the Uzumaki clan on the Jonin's standard clothing.

Unfortunately, the power of the Uzumaki clan has been met with suspicion and fear. This is also related to the location of the Kingdom of Whirlpool. Although it is very close to Konoha, it is not too far from the Kingdom of Water.

The key problem is that the Kingdom of Whirlpool is too small, smaller than the Kingdom of Bears and the Kingdom of Craftsmen.

The island is too small, and its resources are relatively limited and single. This has a great impact on the development of a village. Even if the Uzumaki clan has strong vitality and terrible sealing skills, they are still powerless in the face of the cooperation of multiple countries and families.

There may be something to do with Black Jue behind this.

Nowadays, there are not many people with the blood of the Uzumaki clan. In a strict sense, Tsunade actually has the blood of the Uzumaki clan. After all, her grandmother is Uzumaki Mito.

After three days of traveling, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally arrived at the Country of Whirlpool.

This is a completely lost country. As soon as you land on the island, you can see a lot of ruins.

However, it has been a long time since the Uzumaki clan was exterminated.

There are civilians living in the Kingdom of Whirlpool now, but after the war, there is no political power in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

The civilians living here are actually much happier.

The Country of Whirlpool has few resources and has gone through wars. Except for civilians who want to live a peaceful and peaceful life, no one will come here.

It can be seen that the country of Whirlpool was very glorious in the past, but war will never show mercy to anyone.

The Uzumaki clan is very strong, but they are not as strong as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. They are completely powerless in the face of the crusade from many organizations and countries.

Maybe there won't be any gains this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently in his mind.

The Uzumaki clan actually asked for help, but by the time Konoha got the news, there was nothing they could do to save the day.

Moreover, Konoha itself was unable to protect itself at that time, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was timid, which led to the country's demise.

Most of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan have been recorded in Konoha, which is also one of the heritage of Konoha Village.

With the help of perfect sealing techniques, Konoha is stronger than other ninja villages in many aspects.

The powerful sealing technique can not only seal objects, but even souls!

It can be said that the degree of mystery of sealing technique is higher than that of ninjutsu. Instead, it seems to be an inheritance passed down from ancient times.

After walking aimlessly in the Country of Whirlpool for a day, there was nothing but a few villages.

At night, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally felt different spiritual energy fluctuations.

Standing up, with the fluctuation of spiritual energy, Hiruzen Sarutobi found a mask in the ruins.

This mask is very similar to the Death Mask, but there are some differences from the Death Mask in Sarutobi Hiruzen's impression.

The Uzumaki clan once built a mask storage hall in Konoha, and the Death Mask was in it. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who mastered the ban on corpses, was very familiar with the Death Mask.

What will the mask in his hand summon when he puts it on? Is he still the God of Death?

Rather than being a god of death, it is more appropriate to say that it is a puppet created by the sealing technique. There is no six paths of reincarnation in this ninja world.

Putting the mask away, Sarutobi Hiruzen was ready to wait until he returned to Konoha and broke through the foundation building stage before finding someone to try out what this mask was for.

Of course he wouldn't take it with him to try...

The next day, Sarutobi Hiruzen set off to return to Konoha.

Also today, Peacock and Qingming arrived in Konoha, and Longan chose to stay in Takunin Village.

His belief has been shattered. Qingming, the strongest ancestor of the Craftsman Country, a genius Craftsman-nin who created many powerful ninja tools, actually surrendered?

Seeing Qingming's fanatical look on his face, asking Hiruzen Sarutobi to learn how to make ninja tools, Longan's defense was really broken.

In order to resurrect this guy, the water tiger died, the treasure turtle was sacrificed, and he also lost his right hand. This is the result?

……

"The Sandaime is causing trouble outside again?"

Hearing that someone was coming over again, Shikaku felt a little melancholy. In the morning, Lord Orochimaru was basically teaching his three apprentices in the laboratory, and he was handling government affairs.

Nara Shikaku had a headache when he heard that a man who claimed to be the founder of the Takumi Ninja Village came over and seemed to have a conflict with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He had just dealt with the matter in the Star Ninja Village some time ago.

Star Ninja Village has now become a subsidiary of Konoha, and Konoha's influence has extended to the Bear Country, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

But it is still very troublesome to implement. Fortunately, there is no shortage of people in Konoha now. Ninjas from all major families want to make contributions.

The problem is that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru are both hands-off bosses.

Sarutobi Hiruzen left the village to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru left most of the chores to him. He was the one doing the hard work!

However, this matter involves the country of Takumi, and Orochimaru still needs to deal with it.

The countries in the southeast are the Country of Whirlpool, the Country of Bears, and the Country of Takumi. Hiruzen Sarutobi will never go to the Country of Water again, right?

The current Kirigakure Village is not at peace. If Hiruzen Sarutobi acts recklessly in the past, it will cause a war. The ANBU must quickly find Hiruzen Sarutobi...

An ANBU informed Orochimaru, who gave instructions to the three disciples and left the laboratory.

"Teacher finally left!" But seeing Kabuto and Itachi's serious looks, Anko became discouraged and sat back.

After Orochimaru left the laboratory, Anko became active. It was really difficult for her to do research with Orochimaru.

But seeing Itachi and Kabuto looking so excited, Anko didn't want to leave by himself, but he really couldn't keep up with the two of them.

Kabuto and Itachi are very interested in various ninjutsu and research. As disciples of the Hokage, Konoha's various secret techniques are open to them.

Kabuto likes all kinds of forbidden arts, while Itachi is somewhat interested in the flying thunder god technique...

"interesting."

When he came to the Hokage's office and saw Qingmei, Orochimaru immediately became interested. With his attainments, he could naturally tell at a glance that the guy in front of him was not a living person, but had transformed himself into some kind of ninja tool!

This is slightly similar to the human body modification technology he studied, but it is completely different.

Orochimaru's body is modified by genetic mutation, and this guy wants to ascend mechanically.
