21 The Two People

Now, only 7 jonin and 14 chunin were remaining.

"You go into the genin zone, just slash blindly, it is not like they would be able to resist," Sakumo said.

He disappeared from the tree the next second and reappeared in front of the remaining jonin and chunin.

"Ha! The White Fang of Konoha. What are you here for? You anyways cannot kill all of-" The jonin from Kiri started to speak but was interrupted by Sakumo by cutting his neck.

"How much do you underestimate me?"

Sakumo started the fight with the jonin and now, Yukan appeared in the area filled with genins.

All the genins looked at Yukan and some even directly jumped on him.

Yukan killed them, although it was close, it was easy.

"I feel as if they are a group of hungry hyenas glaring at me with a hungry look, but no problem, I am no less than a lion, am I?" Yukan mumbled to himself.

The way Yukan had decided to fight was working wonders.

Now, his body had grown up a lot from before and even his [Steel Strength] skill had grown, so now, he could use it sometimes without even feeling any fatigue at all.

The [Steel Strength] skill with his physique and swordsmanship helped him make an arc of air travelling at a high speed when Yukan swung his sword.

This was an AOE attack Yukan and it was the most useful in this situation.

He continuously swung the katana for 10 minutes before he was only left with two genin.

Yukan did not use any skill anymore since he had now started to feel a little bit of fatigue.

"Ten minutes was not bad," Yukan said as he moved forward and stabbed a genin in his heart.

He then looked at the other one.

The genin was on the ground, kneeling and begging for mercy.

Yukan grabbed his hair and pulled him up.

"No way in hell am I letting you go, I am not an idiot," Yukan said as he cut the genin's arms.

Yukan then grabbed him from his collar and dragged him to the place where Sakumo was fighting.

Sakumo was still not finished.

"You are still alive?" Yukan said as he looked at Sakumo kill a jonin.

"Why have you brought that thing here?" Sakumo ignored Yukan's question and said as he looked at the genin.

"To extract information?" Yukan answered.

"Nah, it would be of no use. He is only a genin. This one will help us." Sakumo said as he also dragged a jonin to where Yukan was standing.

Yukan then killed the genin and looked at the jonin Sakumo brought.

Sakumo then started to ask questions.

"Who told you that we would be here?"

"What are you saying? We never knew that you two would be here, otherwise, we would have brought more men." The jonin said.

"Yes, to be butchered," Yukan said in a low voice.

Sakumo gave a little laugh but then turned serious again.

"Focus, Yukan. I'll ask you again, who is the mole?" Sakumo asked jonin again but this time he put his blade on the top of jonin's hand.

"I really don't know what mole you are talking about." Sakumo's blade pierced the jonin's hand after he said this.

"Let me change my question then. Who were the two you guys were talking about?" Sakumo asked as he now put his blade on the jonin's other hand.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you. We were given the information that a young girl and her grandfather are living here. They are the survivors of the Uzumaki clan." The jonin answered.

After he answered, Sakumo got up and slit the jonin's throat.

"This means we killed over a hundred shinobi after getting a misunderstanding? We had to kill them anyways but still…" Yukan said.

"Funny right?" Sakumo said.

Yukan nodded as he asked," What to do now?"

"Let's search for the girl and her grandfather. If we take them back to Konoha secretly, Konoha would gain some benefits." Sakumo said as he started to move.

'And Tomato will have a friend other than Mikoto.' Yukan thought as he now believed that taking the Uzumaki clan girl back to Konoha was a necessity now.

Sakumo and Yukan went in different directions to search for the two people.

After searching for a day, they still found nothing.

"Sensei, do we go back now?" Yukan asked. He was disappointed that he was not able to find the girl.

"No, we will go to the exact place where Uzushiogakure used to be. Where we are standing right now is only close to it, not where it was." Sakumo said as he pointed in the west direction.

Yukan nodded understandingly.

The next day the two of them went to Uzushiogakure.

There was nothing but ruins of buildings everywhere.

Not even one structure in sight was still fine.

Yukan and Sakumo finally looked at the outermost areas and there, Yukan noticed some smoke.

"Sensei, there is some smoke, maybe that is where the pair lives." Yukan pointed in the direction the smoke was coming from.

"Let's go there then," Sakumo said as he patted Yukan's back and walked forward.

Yukan and Sakumo soon reached there and they saw an old man sitting on the bed and a red-haired girl sitting beside him and talking to him.

When they both appeared, the girl got vigilant and stood in front of the old man.

Yukan looked at the girl and then at the old man behind her.

"You, Aren't you the same old man?" Yukan asked.

He was the same old man who had asked Yukan for food some days ago.

"Yes, lord. I am the one you gave food to. My name is Uzumaki Han and this is my granddaughter Uzumaki…
