Chapter 260

The war came to an end, and Masahiko sat cross-legged to restore his Chakra.

All the Shadow Clones that he released were taken back, and he summoned the Slug to heal the injuries of his people. Indeed, there weren't many Chakra left.

The people who weren't injured were cleaning the battlefield. To Masahiko's relief, these people experienced the war, and their spirit was indeed a little different. But there was also something that made him sad. In this war, Uzumaki lost more than 70 people, most of them before Masahiko rushed back.

Sacrifice has been far away from Maelstrom for many years.

There were also many injured, but fortunately, there weren't any untreatable injuries such as mutilation of limbs.

About an hour later, Iko came to Masahiko. "Sensei, the battlefield cleaning is finished. Nanako personally sealed their Chakra, and there were no resistance. What should we do with them?"

Masahiko nodded and stood up. The Chakra has mostly recovered.

"Lock them up first, and we will bury the people who died in the war."

Iko nodded. Maelstrom held another large-scale funeral. The last one was held after the war with the Kaguya clan.

The funeral was held on the second day of the war, and the whole country mourned. Gensuke presided over the funeral. Neither Masahiko nor his three disciples were suitable to preside over such a scene.

After the funeral, the inventory of the harvest and the trivial matters after the war were put on the agenda.

The harvest from the battlefield, in addition to some ninja tools and detonation talismans, the biggest harvest was the three ninjutsu seized by Hitomi Arai.

Although Masahiko can't remember them one by one, he can still roughly remember them after the ability test.

They were the Nagato – Needle, the Blunt Blade – Douchi, and the Explosive Blade – Flying Mist. Masahiko can't use them, so he gave them to Hitomi Arai to arrange.

Other than that, the other harvest was obtained from the more than 100 ninjas who surrendered.

After the interrogation, Maelstrom's ninjutsu storage was more abundant. Originally because of Masahiko, except for the water attribute, other ninjutsu were abundant, and this time he replenished the water attribute.

Masahiko also backed up some of the more common ninjutsu, but he didn't touch those secret techniques. He didn't lack any special ninjutsu to use, and the remaining 100 ninjas didn't have any secret techniques.

After the interrogation, the disposal of more than 100 ninjas was put on the agenda.

In the ninja world, there is really no slavery, and letting these ninjas join the Uzumaki clan is not reassuring, and it is not good to kill all of them. After repeated consideration, Masahiko made a decision.

"Let the Mizukage redeem them, and we can get more supplies."

Iko hesitated, "Sensei, what if the Mizukage doesn't want to redeem them?"

Masahiko smiled and shook his head. "Then tell these people that the Mizukage is not willing to redeem them, and then release them."

Masahiko smiled and shook his head, "Then tell them that the Mizukage won't redeem them, and then let them go."

Iko was stunned, "Let them go?" After a moment, she nodded in agreement. Masahiko slowly said, "This time, the Third Raikage, Second Tailed and Eighth Tailed, and most of the elites of Hidden Cloud Village were killed. I'm afraid they will fall out of the five major countries."

Masahiko slowly said, "This time, the Third Raikage, Two Tails and Eight Tails, most of the elites were killed, I'm afraid they will fall out of the five great countries."

Yi Zi was stunned and fell into deep thought.

On the side, Gensuke was shocked, "Great Elder, we …"

Nanako gently shook him, "Gensuke, sensei is asking about Iko."

Masahiko felt helpless in his heart. The Maelstrom Clan's Patriarch was of the same lineage, and they were all obsessed with power.

Iko looked up, "Sensei, forget it, Maelstrom is not suitable for that kind of village, and there is no matching strength."

"Why not, isn't there the Great Elder?" Gensuke interrupted again.

Masahiko shook his head, "I'm not afraid of external chaos, but I'm afraid there will be internal problems."

The awkward thing about the Whirlpool Clan was that they were neither strong nor weak. They were not strong enough to become a big village, and they were not weak enough to become an ordinary clan in a village. Just like in Konoha before, because it is too strong and too many people compared to other families, it was rejected.

"Besides, I'm not invincible …" Masahiko sighed, thinking of Madara hiding in the ground and the sage of the six paths hiding in the underworld. Now he should be slightly weaker than Madara without opening the Eight Gates, and slightly stronger than Madara with opening the Eight Gates, so the outcome of the two is not certain. Although Madara is old, he has a pair of Rinnegan eyes than before.

"Sensei, is there anyone stronger than you?" On the side, Hitomi Arai wondered.

Masahiko smiled, "The ninja world is big, no one knows what is hidden."

"However, although we can't become the new five great countries, we can control one of the five great countries." Masahiko smiled and said, breaking the slightly dull atmosphere.

"Control?" Gensuke's eyes slowly brightened, obviously thinking of something.

"Daimyo in the Land of Lightning should be very anxious now." Masahiko smiled and said, "We can collect protection fees from them … yep, let's ask for 70% of their annual income!"

Several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement, this is indeed the best choice.

In the next few days, Masahiko personally went to the Land of Lightning, while Iko and the others were busy dealing with the affairs of the Land of Water.

However, something unexpected happened. At the place where the Daimyo of the Country of Lightning was, he saw someone who should have been dead. The Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki Bu Jianbi!

"I didn't expect that you actually survived? Did you use the Tentacle Clone? "Masahiko also reacted after seeing him, Chalabi seems to have such a skill in the original story.

Bu Liangbi had a guarded expression as he loudly ordered, "Protect the daimyo!"

"Masahiko Fujita, do you really want to kill me?"

Masahiko smiled. "Don't be nervous, I don't want to kill you. Although you are not dead, I won't chase you to the Land of Lightning to kill you."

"This time, I came to find His Excellency Daimyo of the Land of Lightning."

"Maelstrom's strong man, why are you looking for me?" Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is very courageous, in the face of Masahiko who almost destroyed Cloud Village, he didn't have a cautious attitude.

"I came to collect protection fees." Masahiko said. "Your Land of Lightning must need our protection, right?"

"Protection?" Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was stunned. "What kind of protection can you provide?" Saying this proves that he is not confident.

"To protect you from Maelstrom's invasion, you need to hand over 70% of your income every year."

"Are you kidding?" Daimyo of the Land of Lightning shouted.

Masahiko nodded. "Yes, there is another joke. Next month, this palace may belong to the Land of Whirlpools …"

Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was startled and looked at Hachibi. Hachibi closed his eyes helplessly. After this battle, the Hachibi in his body was willing to communicate with him. He knew in his heart that the strength of Masahiko is not worse than that of the God of Ninja. It is a power that even the Cloud Village can't defeat.

In the end, Masahiko signed a Protection Contract verbally with Thunder Nation and returned with a full load.
