The first generation of the Shinobi world's two most overpowered figures, one lacked brains, the other was politically inept, and they wanted peace for the Shinobi world? Don't make me laugh.
As for the second generation of overpowered figures...
Not only were they brainless, but also politically clueless. Before this person even died, the Shinobi world had already descended into chaos.
So history... no, I mean, "Naruto" and "Boruto" tell us that the old ways simply don't work. The only path is to embrace socialism, focus on economic development, uphold the Party's... ahem, the Four Cardinal Principles, persist in reform and opening up, liberate and develop productive forces, consolidate and improve the socialist system, build a socialist market economy, socialist democratic politics, socialist advanced culture, socialist harmonious society, and socialist ecological civilization, promote the all-round development of individuals, gradually achieve common prosperity for all people, and construct a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful Shinobi world. Only then can the Shinobi world truly achieve peace.
"Jun, little Jun." Just as Uzumaki Jun was reminiscing about the plot of "Naruto," he heard the voice of the clan elder.
It seemed the Uzumaki shinobi had successfully retreated. He wondered how the Mist shinobi were doing.
"Are you hurt? Are you okay?" The Great Elder hurried over to Uzumaki Jun and checked his body. He couldn't afford to let anything happen to the future God of Shinobi!
"I'm fine," Uzumaki Jun said with a smile. "Just some backlash from a jutsu."
Honestly, being a walking chakra battery was no joke. One bite, and his right arm was almost fully healed. Tsk tsk!
With such incredible vitality, it'd be a waste not to become a medical ninja!
"Jutsu backlash?!" The Great Elder's expression turned serious. "A forbidden jutsu?"
Such a powerful technique had to be forbidden. But where had he learned it? The Uzumaki clan's strongest forbidden techniques were all sealing-based.
They didn't have any flashy ninjutsu like that. The sheer scale and destructive force were unimaginable!
He had never seen anything like it before.
"Don't use it again," the Great Elder said sternly. Even if the jutsu was incredibly powerful, he didn't want Uzumaki Jun risking his life.
Uzumaki Jun nodded. Right now, he couldn't use it even if he wanted to. It was a one-time thing. Maybe he'd pull the same jutsu again in the future, but the side effects probably wouldn't be as severe.
Seeing Uzumaki Jun's agreement, the Great Elder didn't press further. Since the war began, they had stopped treating him like a seven-year-old child.
And now... he had his own secrets. So the Great Elder wouldn't pry. Instead, he took out a sealing scroll and said, "The Three-Tails is sealed inside."
The Three-Tails?
Hearing this, Uzumaki Jun's eyes lit up. If he wanted to build a Tailed Beast Zoo, the easiest one to obtain was the Three-Tails. After the Third Shinobi War, it would roam freely in a lake until someone eventually recaptured it.
So...
It would be an unclaimed creature!
All he had to do was retrieve it later. What? The Hidden Mist Village wanted it back? Don't be ridiculous. By then, the Mist Village would be in shambles, with only Mei Terumī left as a Kage-level fighter. The rest would just be a bunch of jōnin and chūnin, and even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen would be dead or defected. Would the Whirlpool Country be afraid?
It was almost pitiful. One of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, crippled by Obito's revenge.
By the time of the Five Kage Summit, the other villages would have Kage-level or near-Kage-level bodyguards, while the Sand and Mist would only have jōnin or elite jōnin...
They'd already lost half the battle in terms of presence!
And Uzumaki Jun could confidently say the outcome of this war was already clear. The Whirlpool Country wouldn't be destroyed. Even if he only had jōnin-level strength now...
With the Flying Thunder God Technique in hand, he could proudly face any Kage and say, "I can fight you to a draw!"
If he couldn't win, he could at least run.
They couldn't hit him, and he couldn't deal fatal damage either. It was just a bit shameless.
So the Mist Village was no longer a threat. And since the Uzumaki clan hadn't lost many of its strong fighters, Konoha wasn't a threat either. He doubted they'd dare send assassins again to claim the Uzumaki clan's inheritance.
Konoha, as one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, still had some dignity.
Now, it was time to focus on the Whirlpool Country's development while waiting for the Mist Village to come to the negotiating table. Moreover, to hasten the end of the war and prevent the Uzumaki clan from becoming a common enemy...
Uzumaki Jun thought for a moment and decided that the sealing technique for becoming a jinchūriki had to be disseminated. It even needed to be modified so that ordinary people could use it, not just the Uzumaki clan.
Otherwise, some villages would always have their eyes on them. Even if the Whirlpool Country survived this time, what if other villages teamed up? What then? Even if they won the next war, how many people would be left in the Whirlpool Country?
They wouldn't always be so lucky.
So...
"Great Elder, what if..." Uzumaki Jun hesitated but ultimately spoke up.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
"This is the Uzumaki clan's lifeline!"
"..."
Before the Great Elder could respond, the other clan elders immediately rejected the idea. After all, this was a matter of life and death for them!
Uzumaki Jun had expected resistance. Clan techniques were sacred to every family. Leaking them without reason was unthinkable. But...
If the Whirlpool Country didn't release the sealing technique for becoming a jinchūriki, other villages, unable to harness the Tailed Beasts' power, would inevitably target the Uzumaki clan. Even if they won this war, there would always be a next one. So...
It had to be done. The only question was whether they could gain some benefits in return. Otherwise, Konoha would reap all the rewards.
By releasing the sealing technique now, they could form superficial alliances and buy time for the Whirlpool Country's development.
"Silence!" The Great Elder barked at the arguing elders. After a moment of contemplation, he said sternly, "Very well. You have one chance to convince us. Why should we give this sealing technique to other villages?"
Uzumaki Jun met the Great Elder's gaze with equal seriousness. "For the rise of the Uzumaki clan. For the strength of the Whirlpool Country."
"Ha! Good, very good!" The Great Elder laughed. "In that case, proceed as you command. The Whirlpool Country and the Uzumaki clan are already in your hands."
"Thank you, Great Elder!"
The Whirlpool Country would surely grow stronger!
