Naruto: The rise of Uzumaki Kingdom

"Don't look so grim." Uzumaki Jun, wearing a mask, said with a smile. "Smile a little. It's rare for our organization to have another official trip. Be happy."

If you keep looking so miserable, who would want to join? You'll scare people away.

However...

"..."

Who wants to go out!

Zetsu rolled his eyes and ignored Uzumaki Jun. He didn't want to go out at all. After infiltrating the shinobi world for thousands of years, he was suddenly dragged into the spotlight by this kid for no reason. He was bitter!

Why did he think this brat was so talented back then and wanted to recruit him to save... cough, achieve peace in the shinobi world?

If not for that, no one would be able to suppress him now!

"By the way, speaking of official funds." Uzumaki Jun suddenly remembered something and said, "Can I get reimbursed? And also reimburse the money from last time."

"??"

Zetsu looked at Uzumaki Jun in shock. What kind of environment did this brat grow up in to develop such a thick skin? He said irritably, "We never spent any money!"

Not this time, nor last time.

"Is that so?" Uzumaki Jun immediately sighed, losing interest. "So it's a budget trip after all!"

For a moment, he felt the urge to quit his job. But then he thought...

This is all for the peace of the shinobi world, for building a harmonious new era of socialism, for the happiness of the people in the shinobi world. Instantly, he was filled with motivation.

"..."

Zetsu decided to ignore this brat.

Looking at the desolate area before them, wasn't this place...

Zetsu narrowed his eyes and looked at Uzumaki Jun. "Aren't you afraid Lord Madara will be angry if you come looking for these people?"

"Relax, bosses are usually very broad-minded." Uzumaki Jun, of course, knew what Zetsu meant and said casually, "For the great cause of our organization, Lord Madara will understand."

"..."

Great cause my foot!!

You little brat keep making the organization take the blame for you, while you reap the benefits, and still call it the organization's great cause!!

Zetsu looked at Uzumaki Jun and said coldly, "Don't forget our goal."

"Of course." Uzumaki Jun raised his head reverently, looking at the moon... though it was noon and the moon wasn't visible. He said excitedly, "That is a truly great goal!"

However...

Zetsu's expression looked as if he had swallowed dozens of pounds of dung. This brat was truly disgusting.

If not for having mixed with him so many times, even he might have believed it. But now...

This nasty little brat!!

"Relax." Uzumaki Jun patted Zetsu's shoulder and said, "Have some confidence. Under Lord Madara's leadership, we will achieve our goal."

"..."

Damn you!!

Stop talking. To this day, Zetsu still didn't know what this brat's real goal was.

For the peace of the shinobi world?

What a joke. Wanting to become an arms dealer while talking about peace in the shinobi world? Who are you fooling?

In his thousand years in the shinobi world, he had never seen such "peace."

He glanced to the side and said coldly, "Someone is following us."

It seemed they had been tailed for quite some time.

"I already knew." Uzumaki Jun shrugged and said, "I'm just waiting for him to inform the Raikage to come."

"Otherwise, who would watch our performance?"

Uzumaki Jun stared intently at the corner and said calmly, "Make sure to capture my good side!!"

"..."

...

Kumogakure.

"Lord Raikage." An ANBU ninja respectfully addressed the muscular man with a bare upper body. "Two suspicious individuals have entered the Land of Lightning."

"They are heading toward the Hell Valley."

Raikage A frowned upon hearing this. "What do they look like?"

"They match the description from Iwagakure. Black robes with red clouds." The ANBU jonin said. "And one of them is..."

"Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Instantly...

A's pupils dilated. What were these two dangerous individuals doing in the Land of Lightning?

It was obvious.

They were here to cause trouble. But why the Hell Valley...

It was known that since the Warring States Period, that area had been used to imprison the Chinoike Clan.

Before the villages were established, the Daimyō of the Land of Lightning had invited the Uchiha to guard it. But after the villages were formed and military forces were clearly divided, the Kumo-nin took over guarding the Chinoike Clan.

Now, going to the Hell Valley...

Though he didn't care what happened to the Chinoike Clan, if they were wiped out by the Uchiha within the Land of Lightning, as the strongest in the Land of Lightning and the Raikage, how could he save face?

"Notify the ANBU. Quickly arrange for the Sealing Team to guard the tailed beasts." Raikage roared in his loud voice. "Especially B. Tell him to stay put."

Now was not the time for him to appear!

"Yes!" The ANBU nodded in acknowledgment.

Raikage's sharp gaze turned toward the direction of Hell Valley. He wanted to see for himself the Mangekyō that even that shorty Ōnoki couldn't stop!!

...

"Smile a little." Uzumaki Jun looked at Zetsu, who kept a grim face, and said helplessly, "Show the spiritual demeanor of our enterprise. Otherwise, how could anyone want to join?"

However...

Zetsu rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "That's your business."

"My business is our business." Uzumaki Jun said. "We are one. Don't forget our ultimate goal."

"To bring peace and hope to the shinobi world!!"

"..."

This damn brat!!

Zetsu sighed and said, "The people you want to recruit have already noticed us." He looked at Uzumaki Jun with schadenfreude. "Don't forget what you look like now!"

Uchiha!!

Let's see how you plan to recruit anyone after the fight starts!

"Mm." Uzumaki Jun nodded faintly and said, "Now, call me Lord Madara!!"

"No, it's Shin." Zetsu said helplessly. "Uchiha Shin!"

You bastard!!

"Oh, then call me Lord Shin."

"..."

"Halt!!"

Just as Uzumaki Jun and Zetsu stepped into Hell Valley, someone jumped out.

"Uchiha Clan!!" Seeing the Mangekyō Sharingan revealed by Uzumaki Jun, the person immediately raised a kunai with hatred. "What are you doing here?"

Did they come to finish off the Chinoike Clan because they hadn't all died yet?

To ensure only one red-eyed clan remained in the shinobi world...

"Don't be so agitated." Uzumaki Jun said calmly. "We're not here to fight."

"Where is the leader of the Chinoike Clan?"

"What business do you have with our leader?" The Chinoike youth remained unmoved and said sharply. "We have nothing to say to the Uchiha Clan."

"If you won't tell me, I'll wipe you all out." Uzumaki Jun said disdainfully. After all, he had the Mangekyō!

Even if it was fake!

But no one else knew that!

And now, he didn't have time to chat leisurely. That muscle-bound Raikage would probably arrive soon with his Lightning Release.

As for ideological education...

Leave that to the schools!

Right now, he just needed to take these people to Uzushiogakure!

"You!" The Chinoike youth was infuriated by Uzumaki Jun's disdainful words and looked ready to fight this despicable Uchiha to the death.

"It seems you really want to experience the power of the Mangekyō." Uzumaki Jun formed a hand seal, as if preparing to use his ocular power, when...

"What business do you have with me, old man?" A middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with red eyes, walked out with a dark expression. "Member of the Uchiha Clan!"

"Finally showed up, huh?" Uzumaki Jun sneered. "It seems you're truly afraid of the Mangekyō."

However...

Zetsu, standing to the side, could only roll his eyes at Uzumaki Jun's act. What Mangekyō??

Wasn't it fake?

You damn Uzumaki brat!!
