The first generation of the ninja world's two cheat-code users—one had no brains, the other was terrible at politics—and they still wanted peace in the ninja world? What a joke. And the second generation of cheat-code users...

Not only did he lack brains, he was terrible at politics too. Before he had even died, the ninja world had already begun falling into chaos. So history... ah, no, Naruto and Boruto: Naruto Next Generations taught us that the old way did not work. The ninja world could only hope to achieve true peace through democracy, freedom, and equality.

"Xun, Little Xun." Just as Xun Uzumaki was recalling the plot of Naruto, he heard the Clan Elders. It seemed the Whirlpool Ninja had successfully retreated. He wondered how the Mist Ninja were doing.

"Are you alright? Are you alright?" The Great Elder hurried anxiously to Xun Uzumaki's side and inspected him. He did not want the future God of the Ninja World to suffer any mishap!

"I'm fine." Xun Uzumaki smiled. "It's just backlash from a ninjutsu."

Still, she really was worthy of being a walking milk bottle. One bite, and his right hand had nearly recovered. Amazing!

Such powerful vitality would be wasted if she did not become a Medical Ninja!

"Ninjutsu backlash?!" The Great Elder's face turned solemn upon hearing Xun Uzumaki's words. "A Forbidden Jutsu?"

With power on that scale, it had to be a Forbidden Jutsu. But where had he gotten it? The Uzumaki Clan's powerful Forbidden Jutsu were mostly Sealing Jutsu! They simply did not have anything so dazzling. That presence, that destructive power—it was unimaginable!

He had never even seen this Forbidden Jutsu before!

"Don't use it again in the future." The Great Elder spoke seriously. Though the technique was immensely powerful, he did not want Xun Uzumaki's life to be threatened in any way!

Xun Uzumaki nodded. Even if he wanted to use it now, he could not. It was a one-time thing; there was no way to use it a second time.

Perhaps he could draw this ninjutsu in the future, but by then, its side effects probably would not be so severe.

After all, Xun Uzumaki was a man... no, a boy with a system!

Seeing Xun Uzumaki nod, the Great Elder did not press further. Since the war began, they had deliberately stopped treating Xun Uzumaki as a seven-year-old child. Especially after what had happened today... he had secrets of his own, so there was no need to ask. The Great Elder took out a sealing scroll and said, "The Three-Tails has already been sealed inside."

The Three-Tails?

At the Great Elder's words, Xun Uzumaki's eyes suddenly lit up. If he wanted to establish a tailed beast zoo, which tailed beast would be easiest to acquire? Naturally, it was the Three-Tails. After the Third Shinobi World War, it would swim freely through a lake before eventually being bound by a group of rare-animal hunters.

So...

By then, it would be ownerless!

He just had to retrieve it when the time came.

What? Kirigakure wanted to reclaim it? Don't joke around. By then, Kirigakure would be half-crippled. Aside from Mei Terumi, their only Kage-level fighter, the rest would just be a bunch of Jonin and the like. Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist would be either dead or defected. Would the Land of Whirlpools be afraid?

Just thinking about it was pitiful. One of the originally powerful Five Great Shinobi Villages would be vindictively crippled by Obito. When the Five Kage Summit came around, the other Kage's guards would all be Kage-level or Quasi-Kage, while Sunagakure and Kirigakure would only have Jonin or elite Jonin...

Their presence alone would be half a step behind!

Moreover, Xun Uzumaki could say that the outcome of this war was already clear. The Land of Whirlpools would not be destroyed. Though he only possessed Jonin-level strength at the moment...

With the Flying Thunder God Technique in hand, he could hold his head high before any Kage-level opponent and say, "I'm evenly matched with all of you!"

If he could not beat them, could he not at least run away?

In any case, they could not hit him, and he could not hurt them either. It was just a little shameless, that was all.

Therefore, Kirigakure was no longer a threat. The Uzumaki Clan had not lost many experts either, so Konoha was no longer a threat. He refused to believe they would still dare send people to ambush them and then inherit the Uzumaki Clan's legacy.

As one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha still needed to save face.

So now, they could begin considering the Land of Whirlpools' development while waiting for Kirigakure to negotiate. Moreover, in order to bring the war to an end and prevent the Uzumaki Clan from becoming everyone's target...

There were some things they had to give up.

Xun Uzumaki thought it over and decided that the Sealing Jutsu for creating Jinchuriki had to be shared. It even needed to be improved so that ordinary people could use the Sealing Jutsu, rather than only members of the Uzumaki Clan being able to become Jinchuriki.

Otherwise, some shinobi village would always set its sights on them. Even if the Land of Whirlpools survived this time, what would they do if the other shinobi villages joined forces in the future? Even if they won again next time, how many people would the Land of Whirlpools have left?

They would not be this lucky every time.

So...

"Great Elder, if..." Xun Uzumaki considered it before finally deciding to speak.

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

"This is what the Uzumaki Clan relies on to survive!"

"..."

Before the Great Elder could even speak, the other Clan Elders immediately rejected the idea. This was practically asking for their lives!

Xun Uzumaki had known that voicing it would surely be met with much opposition. Clan ninjutsu were extremely important to every clan. How could they possibly agree to reveal them for no reason? But...

If the Land of Whirlpools did not hand over the Sealing Jutsu for creating Jinchuriki, then other shinobi villages, unable to harness the tailed beasts' power through Jinchuriki, would definitely target the Uzumaki Clan. Even if they won this war, there would certainly be another one in the future, so...

They had to give it out!

The only question was whether they could obtain some benefits in return. Otherwise, Konoha would get all the benefits. They had to use this opportunity to hand over the Sealing Jutsu and make some nominal allies. Only then would the Land of Whirlpools have room to develop!

"Silence!" The Great Elder shouted at the clamoring Clan Elders. He frowned and thought for a moment. "In that case..."

After all, this was a clan's ninjutsu. It could not be casually given away. Staring at Xun Uzumaki with a serious expression, he said, "Little Xun, you have only one chance to convince me. Why should we give the Sealing Jutsu to other shinobi villages?"

Xun Uzumaki heard the Great Elder's words and met his gaze with a solemn, serious expression. "For the rise of the Uzumaki Clan. For the strength of the Land of Whirlpools."

"Hahaha, good, good!" The Great Elder laughed heartily. "In that case, everything will proceed according to your orders. The Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki Clan were handed over to you long ago."

"Thank you, Great Elder!"

The corners of Xun Uzumaki's mouth lifted slightly. Thankfully, the Uzumaki Clan was not filled with stubborn old fossils like the Hyuga Clan, or he would not have known how to talk them around.

But now...

The Land of Whirlpools would definitely grow strong!

It's New Year's Eve tonight. Happy New Year, everyone! How about some support? Xianyu thanks you all!
