After-Sales Service for the Land of Whirlpools

"Is this the place?" A Whirlpool Ninja looked at the massive waterfall before them and asked his teammate beside him.

"Probably!" Yūma rolled his eyes. "It's not like I've ever been to the Land of Falls."

"Located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, surrounded by four countries, and made up of countless waterfalls." Kōta frowned. "It looks like this should be it. Hey, how did Prince Xun know about this when he's never left the Land of Whirlpools?"

"Of course he knew. That's Prince Xun, after all." Ryū proudly lifted his chin. "The future Whirlpool Kage of Whirlpool Morning Village."

The Land of Whirlpools had a ninja village, but no one had ever called themselves the Whirlpool Kage. That was because of their strength. Now that the Uzumaki Clan had finally produced a Kage-level powerhouse of its own, Whirlpool Morning Village would definitely become the Sixth Great Ninja Village in the future.

It might even surpass the Six Great Ninja Villages. After all, Prince Xun was only seven years old!!

"Focus on completing the mission!" Ryōta said with a frown. "Prince Xun personally assigned this mission."

"Yes!!" x3

"How about we find someone and ask?" Yūma suggested.

"It's wartime!" Ryōta rolled his eyes. "Four Jonin suddenly appearing in another country—what do you think the Takigakure Ninja would do?"

What kind of rotten idea was that? Before they could even open their mouths, they might already get attacked.

"But we're here to deliver Sealing Jutsu!" Ryū said. "We just need to explain ourselves. Besides, we'll have to meet the Takigakure Ninja eventually anyway, so we might as well show ourselves now."

"That's true." Kōta nodded. "As long as we reveal ourselves openly and don't cause trouble, there shouldn't be any problems."

That was true enough, but as shinobi, how could they possibly put themselves in danger? Before they left, Prince Xun had warned them that every ninja village with a Tailed Beast might be an enemy of Whirlpool Morning Village.

As the captain, he did not want to put his team in danger. Besides, the Land of Whirlpools was still too weak. Once they learned that the group carried Sealing Jutsu, they might simply attack and seize it by force. Even though the Sealing Jutsu on them was incomplete, still...

Would they believe that?

It would be much easier to capture them first and interrogate them than to trust an enemy's words.

"How about we disguise ourselves as Konoha ninja?" Yūma thought for a moment, then revealed a mysterious smile and blinked. "After all, the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha have had a friendship spanning generations!!"

"..."

This method!!!

Ryōta immediately narrowed his eyes. "It might work!!"

Once they met the leader of Takigakure, they could reveal their true identities then.

Xun Uzumaki guessed that, after rushing without regard for the consequences, every team should have entered the ninja village assigned to them by now. After all, he had even sent a copy of Sealing Jutsu to Takigakure!

After all, they had introduced the Seven-Tails Chōmei.

As the self-proclaimed inheritor of Hashirama's philosophy of "balancing peace," how could he watch other villages possess Jinchuriki while Takigakure had none? Besides, Takigakure was, one way or another, a pillar among the smaller ninja villages. How could it manage without some strength?

At the same time, he had assigned another task to the ninja heading to Takigakure, which was...

Recruit Kakuzu.

Kakuzu had once claimed that he had fought the God of the Ninja World! Though perhaps all he had done was throw a Shuriken from eight hundred miles away, Xun Uzumaki did not need Kakuzu for his combat ability. He valued his financial skills.

After all, as the financial manager of the Shinobi World's number one criminal organization, Kakuzu definitely had talent. Otherwise, where would Konan's Explosive Tags have come from?

That was six hundred billion Explosive Tags!!

Hadn't Kakuzu earned all that through his diligent work making money for the organization?

So...

Kakuzu would be the future financial manager of the Land of Whirlpools. As for the person currently managing the national treasury... sigh!!

Even a seven-year-old child like him could misappropriate funds from the treasury. What use was that person? He might as well go farm the fields!!

"Clan Elders, Clan Head." Xun Uzumaki smiled as he looked at the Clan Elders chatting happily with the Senju Clan before him.

"Oh, Little Xun!" The Great Elder happily said upon seeing him. "Do you have any tasks for us old fellows? Just say the word!" Then he discreetly winked at Xun Uzumaki, signaling that his request had been taken care of.

"In two days, we'll be holding postwar negotiations with Kirigakure." Xun Uzumaki thought for a moment. "I might need all of you to come along."

Without a few powerful people at his side, wouldn't their presence immediately be cut in half? How else could they pressure the other side during negotiations? Xun Uzumaki was even planning to have the Uzumaki Clan use Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu to surround the area and shout 666.

After all, Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu could lower one's intelligence! Maybe Hozuki Gengetsu would get muddled and agree to his demands?

One had to have dreams. What if they came true?

Therefore, Xun Uzumaki had already made arrangements for the negotiations. They would hold them outdoors, with no tent needed. A few chairs would be enough, along with several pots of tea. They could talk while drinking. As for alcohol...

They were not out doing business. Why drink alcohol?

"I see!" The Great Elder said cheerfully. "Just let me know when the time comes. Is there anything you need us to do?"

Do?

Would changing their overall appearance count?

Xun Uzumaki thought to himself that they only needed to look more spirited when the time came.

Besides, Hozuki Gengetsu probably would not dare attack recklessly!

After all, Xun Uzumaki knew Space-Time Ninjutsu. If Hozuki Gengetsu made a move, Xun Uzumaki could use Space-Time Ninjutsu to take down the Mist Ninja Jonin one by one. Wouldn't that be an even greater loss for them?

So...

As long as Hozuki Gengetsu was not stupid, he definitely would not attack.

"Dress a little more stylishly?" Xun Uzumaki said after thinking for a moment.

"..."

The scene instantly fell silent.

"Haha!!" The Great Elder could only laugh awkwardly at the sight. "We old fellows won't disturb you any longer."

Then he led the Clan Elders and the Clan Head away. They were more than happy to see Xun Uzumaki recruit the Senju Clan. The Land of Whirlpools was still too weak. If it had more clans, perhaps it truly could become the Sixth Great Nation.

Besides, the Senju Clan was not bad either. In such a difficult time, they had actually defied the Hokage's orders to come provide aid.

Xun Uzumaki watched the Clan Elders leave, then turned and smiled at the somewhat restrained Senju Clan beside him. It seemed that after learning he had fought a Tailed Beast, they felt a little uncomfortable around him!

That would not do. He was here to recruit people, not threaten them.

"Prince Xun!!" Shusen Senju was the first to speak, respectfully addressing him. The person before him was a fierce man who could fight a Tailed Beast head-on! And he was only seven years old. Back then, even Lord Hashirama had only... eh, he had not been that strong either!

Could a person even fight a Tailed Beast head-on??

He did not even know why he had led the Senju Clan here to provide support. Did they need the support of their thirty-some people?

Were they here to shout 666?

There was no need at all!

The Uzumaki Clan had no shortage of anything except Shadow Clones! They did not need their few dozen people to shout 666 either.

Although the Uzumaki Clan Head and the Great Elder had both hinted that they wanted to recruit the Senju Clan, still...

They could not bear to leave Konoha!!

Xun Uzumaki saw the hesitation in their eyes. After thinking for a moment, he let his smile fade and said with a serious expression, "What do you think of the current Konoha..."
