"What the hell are you saying!"
"Don't take you for a coward, Toshiro!"
"My Kaguya clan will never surrender!"
Upon hearing Toshiro's words, the first to stand up and shout was a member of the Kaguya clan.
The Kaguya clan possessed the bloodline of Bone Manipulation, granting great power to their shinobi.
The problem with this clan was that they were crazy by nature and always wanted to fight.
That is why they lived outside the village.
Otherwise, the village would be in chaos every day.
Normally, the power of the Kaguya clan would give them a strong voice in the current situation.
But in the battle with the Uzumaki clan in the land of whirlpools and the battle in the land of water when they wanted to defend their country from the red-haired shinobi, the village of the mist lost its most powerful shinobi.
Currently there were only about 2 elite Jonin left and Toshiro, who was a Kage-level shinobi.
Of the rest, there were no regular Jonin left, with around 200 Chunin and the rest being Genin.
The rest of the shinobi are retired shinobi, with little fighting power due to age or serious injuries.
In total they only had around 2000 shinobi, a ridiculously low number compared to the number of shinobi they had before fighting the Uzumaki clan.
Thinking about those numbers, everyone clenched their teeth in fury.
But deep down, everyone was afraid.
A fear they had to acknowledge.
They never imagined that because someone had to stay behind to defend the village and they were chosen for their low combat level, they survived and did not die fighting against the Uzumaki clan.
Although they did not want to give up and wanted to continue fighting against the Uzumaki clan, they felt fear upon realizing that they had no chance.
With the power displayed by the Uzumaki clan and Toshiro's confirmation that he was possibly someone of the same power as Hashirama Senju, none of them wanted to be the first to make the first move.
"We'll kill those damned Uzumakis one by one!"
"Follow me and we will restore the glory of the Village of the Mist!"
Of course, the shinobi of the Kaguya clan thought differently and believed they had a chance.
The Kaguya clan stood up behind the one who was shouting for them to follow him, but no one else did.
"Damn cowards!"
"I'll show you…!"
Seeing that no one but his clan was following him, the guy insulted them but suddenly stopped.
The reason he stopped became known to everyone when they saw someone appear out of nowhere in front of them.
'What?' Toshiro couldn't explain what happened.
He felt no fluctuation of chakra or air when this person appeared in front of him in the middle of the room.
'It's him'
Suddenly, Toshiro realized that he recognized the person.
Even from a distance, he could make out some features of the person who had trapped them with those golden chains. Aside from his bright, blood-red hair, the Uzumaki before them displayed no aura of a shinobi.
Any day now, Toshiro would think he was just an ordinary civilian.
The place fell silent as Gin looked at those present.
Because of the red color of his hair, many of them recognized him as a member of the Uzumaki clan.
"Hello everyone"
"Die!"
When Gin greeted them, the only ones who moved were the members of the Kaguya clan.
The rest of the room wanted to stop them, but they remained still, watching how things unfolded.
Furthermore, they were the madmen of the Kaguya clan, so none of them would care even if they failed and were killed.
Even Toshiro remained silent.
Because their chakra was sealed, the members of the Kaguya clan could not use their bone manipulation abilities, so they could only fight with their fists and kicks.
Wosh Wosh Wosh
The Kaguya clan surrounded Gin, trying to hit him, but they couldn't.
Gin moved with the wind, as if she were dancing around them.
"Enough," Gin said softly.
Although Gin's voice was soft, everyone heard her and witnessed something they would never forget in their entire lives.
"¡Aaaaaah!"
The shinobi of the Kaguya clan suddenly fell to the ground as their bodies trembled and they screamed in pain.
Everyone looked at this confused, since they didn't see the redhead use hand seals, nor did they feel that he used chakra.
The cries of pain from these shinobi were like pigs in the slaughterhouse, making those present swallow uncomfortably.
After 5 minutes, the screams of pain stopped.
The members of the Kaguya clan lay on the ground still trembling from the aftermath, with Gin walking among them until he stopped again in the center of the room.
Looking at everyone, who had remained silent the entire time, Gin nodded his head in satisfaction and opened his mouth.
"I am Gin Uzumaki, Patriarch of the Uzumaki clan"
"My reason for being here is to decide what I will do with you."
"They have two options: surrender and become citizens of the Uzumaki kingdom, or die."
Gin said all that with a smile, not at all disturbed by the idea of killing more than 2,000 people.
After all, if the Uzumaki clan had lost, they would have been targets of atrocities and humiliations from the four great villages.
The Village Hidden in the Mist would not forgive or show mercy to the Uzumaki clan, so Gin would show them no mercy either.
The place fell silent, everyone thinking about what would happen next.
Although they were afraid of what would happen to them and their families, their mouths could not open and surrender because of their pride.
Seeing how stubborn they were, Gin kept smiling and slowly her body began to exert pressure on the area.
!!!
!!!
!!!
They all suddenly felt pressure on their bodies, forced to hold their legs tightly if they didn't want to fall to the ground.
But it was in vain.
Almost all of them, who had an elite chunin strength level, fell immediately.
The only ones left standing were Toshiro and an elite Jonin from the Yuki clan.
The other elite jonin was the guy from the Kaguya clan, who was no longer trembling on the ground.
The pressure caused all the shinobi of the Kaguya clan to fall unconscious.
And their bodies weren't the only ones being pressured.
Their minds were also attacked by Gin's pressure, giving birth to thoughts of fear and terror.
Unfortunately for them, they couldn't speak, as Gin wouldn't let them say a word.
Did they think it would be that easy to give up?
Gin wouldn't let them give up so easily and escape their punishment.
The pressure was steadily increasing as Gin looked at the only ones who remained standing.
But the elite jounin also couldn't withstand the pressure and fell to the ground.
Sigh*
Toshiro sighed at the situation and again regretted having agreed to the attack on the Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki in front of them had already defeated them just by pressuring them with his chakra, so they would achieve nothing more than being massacred if they resisted.
"...Mr... Uzumaki,... we... surrender," Toshiro said as he struggled to say those few words.
Immediately afterwards, the pressure disappeared and everyone let out sighs of relief.
One by one they stood up and Gin asked them if they agreed with Toshiro's decision, to which they all nodded and said yes.
With a smile, Gin explained to them what would become of them from now on.
When they heard that the village of the mist would be wiped out, many opened their mouths and wanted to protest, but suddenly they felt that they were enveloped in a sea of blood and would be killed immediately.
Closing their mouths, everyone listened to what Gin wanted to say.
They will all be distributed throughout the cities of the land of water and will become teachers in the academies that will be created in those cities.
These academies will train the new army and civil guard in the country, so teachers were needed.
Unlike current shinobi academies in elemental nations that had a graduation age of 8 to 10 years, the new graduation age was 16 years old.
From then on, the student could graduate and join the country's army.
As for the Civil Guard, they would be put to the test to see if they had the qualities to manage the civilian population and investigate crimes.
Upon hearing their next destination, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
While many were happy that they would not be killed or treated as slaves, some hid their faces as they plotted to escape or cause trouble in the future when they regained the ability to use chakra.
Understanding the intentions of the latter, Gin smiled because each of them was marked with a cursed seal and none of them noticed.
Not even Toshiro, who was a Kage-level shinobi, knew it, much less the others15069062.
