Could it be that the strength of the Uzumaki Clan has reached this level?

The sudden change in the Uzumaki Clan couldn't help but make Sarutobi Hiruzen ponder deeply.
Faced with the deliberate plot of the Three Great Shinobi Villages, this small ninja village, which was never known for its military prowess, silently resolved this crisis.
As for the team he sent out, they disappeared without a trace, and no matter how many times the Reconnaissance Team investigated, they found nothing, and finally had to give up.
What Hiruzen didn't know was that this team had long been had their hearts dug out by someone and had sunk into the sea forever.
But one thing he was very clear about was that... the Hidden Leaf Village, as an ally of the Whirlpool Tide Village, did not play any role in this crisis, completely adopting an attitude of indifference.
This also led to the Uzumaki Clan gradually becoming estranged from the Hidden Leaf Village, and even the letters he sent to the Uzumaki Clan Head seemed to sink into the sea without any reply.
If it were normal times, Hiruzen wouldn't have taken these things to heart. After all, as the Hokage, there were more urgent matters waiting for him to deal with every day, but it wasn't until Uzumaki Mito, this "pillar," gradually became unsustainable that he realized the seriousness of the problem.
The Tailed Beasts, if they are not bound by a Jinchuriki container, are simply ticking time bombs!
At the meeting, the high-level officials were also anxious, knowing that they had to seek help from the Uzumaki Clan, and it would be best to get two gifted children who would willingly become Jinchuriki, so that they could solve the problem of the Tailed Beasts and also guarantee the Hidden Leaf Village's future combat power.
However, everyone has witnessed the relationship between the Hidden Leaf Village and the Uzumaki Clan over the years. It would be a bit shameless to ask for people in such a blatant manner.
"Hmph, you all advised me not to send troops back then, and now what? How am I, the Hokage, supposed to bring up the matter of the Jinchuriki!"
Hiruzen slammed the Hokage hat heavily on the desk, looked around at everyone, and was furious.
"What? Are you blaming us for this?"
Danzo raised his eyes and glanced at him, his tone neither warm nor cold.
"Hiruzen, you're getting old, is your memory getting worse and worse?" He said lightly, "We were just offering suggestions, but you were the one who gave the order at the time."
"Although this is not very nice, that is the truth." Mitokado Homura also frowned slightly, "Moreover, if we had really sent troops to the Land of Whirlpools back then, who knows what would have happened? Such an idea is somewhat biased."
Koharu also advised, "Yes, after all, no one can predict what will happen in the future."
Hiruzen snorted coldly and rubbed his brow, "Then what do you say we should do now?"
"Who said we have to go out and borrow people? Don't we have people with Uzumaki bloodline who are willing to dedicate everything to the village?" Danzo's voice suddenly became gloomy, "Tsunade and Nawaki, aren't these two the best candidates?"
Hiruzen immediately frowned, "Tsunade... is not good at Sealing Technique. Becoming a Jinchuriki rashly will only lower her strength. Moreover, the Rain Country's movements have become more and more frequent recently. A storm is coming. Doing so would undoubtedly be a loss of an Elite Jonin on our side."
"As for Nawaki... it's worth considering, but he's just a child now and can't control the power of the Tailed Beasts in a short period of time!"
"Yes." Koharu said, "Only pure Uzumaki clansmen can guarantee the stability of the Jinchuriki, so we must go to the Uzumaki Clan no matter what."
"Well... what we did in the past was indeed inappropriate, but fortunately, it didn't lead to a tragedy. I believe that as long as we clear up the misunderstanding, the Uzumaki will accept us again." Mitokado Homura pushed his glasses, "We have to try."
Danzo crossed his arms and sneered, "That's easy to say. If we just send two people over there, they will give us pure-blooded descendants?"
His words undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.
"In that case... the choice of this envoy must be made with utmost caution..."
Hiruzen pondered for a moment and finally decided on the candidate in his heart.
This is also the reason why Tsunade and Nawaki appeared in the Land of Whirlpools.
He had to admit, his idea was brilliant.
Because these siblings were not only the Hidden Leaf Village's Crown Prince and Princess, but also the direct descendants of Uzumaki Mito. They possessed both Senju and Uzumaki bloodlines, symbolizing the strong alliance between the First Hokage and the Uzumaki Clan.
In other words, their visit to the Land of Whirlpools was essentially like returning to their mother's home.
Presumably, even if the Uzumaki Clan harbored some resentment towards the Hidden Leaf Village's actions back then, they wouldn't dare to lash out at these two, right?
The morning sun rose, and the sea breeze was slightly cool.
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission assigned by the village beautifully!"
Nawaki turned his back, pointed to the Uzumaki Clan Emblem behind him with a raised thumb, "I am the Child of Destiny who inherited both the Senju and Uzumaki powers, inheriting the will of my predecessors, and the man who will become Hokage in the future!"
Tsunade stared blankly at her younger brother, sighing helplessly.
She knew that if they couldn't find two children from the Uzumaki Clan this time, then her brother and herself would have to take over their grandmother's burden and become the Hidden Leaf Village's Jinchuriki.
Soon, led by Tsunade, the three of them traveled unimpeded, directly finding their way to the outside of Whirlpool Tide Village, stopping in front of the transparent Atmospheric Barrier.
"We are ninjas from the Hidden Leaf Village, direct relatives of Lord Mito, and we have important matters to discuss today."
The two Uzumaki clansmen guarding the gate exchanged a glance, simultaneously forming hand seals to open the Barrier, allowing the three to enter the village.
In fact, before these three even landed, Whirlpool Tide Village had already detected their movements.
Having experienced the turmoil of the night of the clan's extermination, the Uzumaki Clan had long since heightened their vigilance. To prevent the tragedy from happening again, they had deployed defenses throughout the entire Land of Whirlpools, allowing every inch of land to be under the surveillance of the "Kagura Mind's Eye," so as to grasp information and react at the first moment before enemies attacked.
Before Tsunade and the others even approached the village, their information had already reached Shin'yu's ears.
He immediately activated the Reverse Summoning Technique, instantly descending from the distant Land of Iron, accompanied by Uchiha Hikari and... Orochimaru.
"Let them in," he said calmly.
"But..." Clan Head Uzumaki Kongming hesitated, "We have already decided to have nothing to do with the Hidden Leaf Village. If I'm not mistaken, they must be here for the Tailed Beasts. Wouldn't doing this..."
"What do you think?" Shin'yu sat upright in the main seat, holding a glass of grape juice in his hand, his gaze towards Uzumaki Kongming carrying a hint of scrutiny.
"Of course I don't want to hand people over!" Kongming snorted coldly, "I have already seen the true colors of the Hidden Leaf Village from that incident!"
"Leave this matter to me," Shin'yu said softly.
"This..." Kongming was a little surprised.
"Unwilling?" Uchiha Hikari frowned slightly.
"Ah, no, no," Kongming immediately shook his head, "I just feel that this is not fair to Shin'yu, after all, you were the one who saved us back then."
"It doesn't matter, I want to make the Hidden Leaf Village understand a principle," Shin'yu's lips curled up slightly, "If you want to reach out and grab a blade, you must have the awareness that your hand will be cut and bleed."
"You're right, aren't you, Kushina?" He reached out and rubbed the head of a little girl.
