Naruto Paradise: An Evil Uchiha's Rise-Chapter 100: Tied Up and Tongue-Tied: The Art of Sophistry Surrender

"You stinky thief, you coward!"

Who surrenders without even putting up a fight?

Kushina had been ready to fight to the bitter end, but the "thief's" preemptive surrender took the wind out of her sails.

Now, she could only allow these Kumogakure Ninja to tie her hands with rope, and she was even tethered to this detestable thief.

"Don't struggle, little girl."

A Kumogakure Ninja beside her grinned fiendishly at the two young teenagers being tied up by the leader.

A Uzumaki Clan orphan, the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, and a Senju youth. Quite the haul.

"If you don't behave yourself like this little brother here, I'll beat you until you do!"

"Stop it! She's an important hostage. Can you compensate if you damage her?"

The leader of the Kumogakure Ninja slapped the ninja on the back of the head.

"Yes..."

The ninja who was struck could only stop his intention to inflict violence on Kushina and walked to the side submissively.

However, he felt a little strange inside...

Normally, the leader never cared about these little details.

Whoever they captured, they would always beat them up first, and then marched them onward once the hostages were beaten and unable to move.

Why was it different this time...

Maybe it was because the other party was Konoha's Jinchuriki, so they were being more cautious?

But it always felt like something had changed in the leader's temperament and the feeling he gave off after that boy exchanged a glance with him...

Even the rope used to tie them up seemed to have become much more polite.

Was it just his imagination?

----

"Hmph!"

After scolding him, Kushina seemed to still be angry, so she bumped her forehead against Uchiha Kage's back, who was walking in front of her.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been caught!"

That detestable thief!

"You should blame the Konoha Hokage for letting so many ninja from other villages come in as kidnappers."

Uchiha Kage staggered from the angry girl's bump.

"What does this have to do with the Hokage..."

But indeed, how could so many Kumogakure Ninja have infiltrated Konoha Village?

Although Kushina wanted to retort his sophistry, she couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart.

"Anyway, you don't have anyone waiting for you at home, so why not enjoy the moonlight?"

Uchiha Kage looked up at the empty sky.

The moonlight was quite beautiful tonight...

"You... don't you know where these people will take us and what they will do to us?"

Bask in the moonlight? How could this guy have the leisure to say such nonsense in this situation?

But...

Using the moonlight, Kushina finally saw the 'thief's' face clearly for the first time.

He was actually better looking than the Yellow-hair in her class...

Why did he have to be a thief, and such a coward at that?

He chose to surrender to these Kumogakure villains before the fight even started...

"What will they do?"

Uchiha Kage glanced around.

He didn't even need the Byakugan to sense several ninja following them.

As well as a little Yellow-hair on the way.

He knew that there was no way Kushina, as the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, would be taken away so easily.

In this situation, Uchiha Kage instantly thought of Naruto escaping into the Death Forest with the Forbidden Technique Scroll on his back and playing hide-and-seek with Mizuki and Iruka...

Without even thinking about it, he knew that everything happening today was likely a script deliberately arranged by that old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And the purpose was mostly to increase Kushina's sense of belonging to Konoha Village as the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, and... to foster a bond between the little Yellow-hair and Kushina.

Uchiha Kage had interrupted a similar scene once before, and he didn't mind interrupting it again.

"You really don't know? The Kumogakure traffickers have long been notorious in the Ninja World! They will take us to the Kumogakure hideout, where there is a group of dark-skinned strong men... Grandma said that no girl comes out of there unscathed!"

As Kushina spoke of the doujinshi plots she imagined in her mind, she secretly tried to break free from her restraints.

But unfortunately, these Kumogakure Ninja were very experienced in kidnapping, and there was no way for her to escape the ropes on her body.

She could only try to send out a distress signal.

Maybe some Konoha Ninja would come to save them?

Although she felt that the probability of someone coming to rescue them was very slim, the thought of such a beautiful girl like herself being ravaged by a group of dark-skinned strong men made Kushina want to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

She'd rather die now than that!

Wait, maybe she could pull out her hair... Besides me, it seems like no one in Konoha has such unique red hair.

It should be noticed by someone with good intentions!

"Is that so... but I'm a man, maybe what's waiting for me in Kumogakure is a fair-skinned and beautiful blonde lady."

Uchiha Kage noticed Kushina's small movements, and then he deliberately stopped, causing Kushina, who was still pulling out her hair and walking forward, to bump into his back.

"Also, your hair is quite beautiful, why are you pulling it out?"

"I..."

Kushina had just pulled out a few strands of hair and hadn't even thrown them on the ground yet when she saw all the Kumogakure Ninja nearby, including the boy tied to her with the same rope, staring at her.

"This little girl is not being honest!"

"Is she planning to use her hair as a marker to attract Konoha Ninja?"

"Damn it! Tie her hands tighter!"

After noticing Kushina's small movements, the Kumogakure Ninja immediately surrounded her.

"It's all your fault! Why did you suddenly stop!"

Could this detestable stinky thief really be in cahoots with these people?

Kushina stomped her feet in despair.

Now her only hope for rescue was gone...

Now, no one would come to save them.

"Why did I stop? Because everyone has arrived."

Before Uchiha Kage finished speaking, the Konoha Anbu Ninja wearing masks had already appeared in front of them.

This was already the Konoha Border.

If they went any further, the Nine Tails Jinchuriki - Kushina's personal safety would be in danger of being out of control.

So, the people arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen finally couldn't help but show themselves?

"What do you mean everyone... what are you talking about..."

Huh?

Kushina was just about to squat down with her head in her hands, ready to welcome the Kumogakure Ninja's anger, when she heard the sound of people falling to the ground all around her, thud thud, thud.

Why did they suddenly collapse?

"The ropes on my hands are gone too, and..."

Why did a group of strange guys appear in front of her again?

What exactly was going on?

"Kushina, by order of Hokage-sama, we have come to rescue you."

The Anbu Ninja at the head took the lead in using the Body Flicker Technique to arrive in front of Kushina and Uchiha Kage, and unceremoniously pulled out the Ninja Sword behind his back.

"Now, leave that strange boy and come back to the village with us!"

The rest of the Anbu Ninja, like the Kumogakure Ninja who had surrounded Kushina before, also surrounded them from all directions.

"Are they reinforcements?"

After hearing what these masked people said, Kushina felt a slight relief in her heart, but after seeing the gleaming long sword in front of her, she didn't dare to come to a conclusion.

These guys didn't seem like good people either...

Also...

The girl couldn't help but curiously glanced at the boy beside her again.

Did this stinky thief know that someone was nearby all along?

But thinking about it, he's been acting strange from the start.

Whether he was being captured or surrounded, this person's face didn't show any surprise or fear.

It was as if he didn't care about anything...

Who exactly was he?
