"Clan Head uncle, did you bring the letter I asked you to deliver to Grandma Mito?" Xun Uzumaki asked the Clan Head in confusion.
If they had those two techniques, their chances of victory would be even greater. Although Uzumaki Mito was indeed too old now, and Konoha still needed her to hold the line, so it was impossible to have her come out, Xun Uzumaki had still asked the Clan Head to find an opportunity to meet Grandma Mito and secretly deliver his letter.
This also showed from another angle just how foolish the Uzumaki Clan truly was!!
In the end, when their clan was destroyed, they actually let Konoha obtain their clan's secret techniques. Now, only Grandma Mito in Konoha understood Sealing Jutsu, while Konoha itself only knew the bare basics. But if Kushina went there, then Konoha would eventually obtain all of their Sealing Jutsu.
Not only would they die, get cuckolded, but even have their family property seized by others.
If anyone said Konoha had not been pulling strings behind the scenes, Xun Uzumaki absolutely would not believe it. They had probably coveted the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu for a long time, merely waiting for them all to die so they could inherit the family property.
"Yes, Lord Mito asked me to bring this." Although he did not know what Little Xun had written in the letter, Lord Mito had solemnly placed a scroll in his hands and told him that he absolutely had to give it to Xun Uzumaki.
"Where is it?" Xun Uzumaki immediately asked excitedly. If those two techniques were inside...
"Here!" The Clan Head formed a hand seal. Summoning Jutsu!!
A scroll immediately appeared. Seeing that the item Lord Mito had entrusted to him was no ordinary thing, he solemnly handed it to Xun Uzumaki.
Xun Uzumaki hurriedly opened it. He saw an apologetic letter left by Grandma Mito at the beginning, and then, at the end...
He immediately laughed excitedly. "Good, good! With these two techniques, we have another chance at victory."
Techniques? What techniques?
Could Lord Mito have left behind some Forbidden Jutsu that could let them win? The Clan Head and Clan Elders quickly leaned over to look, only to see...
The two Forbidden Jutsu: 'Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu' and 'Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags.'
Weren't these Forbidden Jutsu developed by the Second Hokage?
What help could they possibly provide in this war?
"These two techniques are the most suitable for our current situation." Xun Uzumaki seriously explained their functions. They could use Shadow Clones to harass the enemy. Xun Uzumaki refused to believe that if every Uzumaki Clan ninja used the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, it would not have the effect of lowering the enemy's intelligence. They might not have as many as Prince Naruto, but with so many people combined, they could create hundreds of thousands or even millions of clones. Even if they did not scare the enemy to death, having the Shadow Clones harass them could still increase their chances of survival.
As for Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, it could increase the power of Explosive Tags while reducing their consumption. His one billion Explosive Tags might then produce the effect of one hundred billion.
A mass of Shadow Clones could use the Transformation Jutsu to create the appearance of a fight to the death. If there were not enough people, clones would make up the numbers. Then, they could secretly surround the area where they stood with Explosive Tags and shout loudly, "Come on!"
"Come fight us head-on!"
"Come risk your lives!"
There was no way the Mizukage would not send ninjas charging forward to fight them head-on. After all, Shadow Clones had physical bodies, and without a special dojutsu, there was no way to distinguish them. Ao of Kirigakure probably had not obtained the Byakugan yet, right?
This thing was incredibly strange. Even Kaguya could not see through Naruto's Shadow Clones!!
Of course, this was also an advantage of fighting on their home ground. On an outside battlefield, it might not be so convenient.
And for the battles to come, no one could create too many Shadow Clones either. They had to spread out the pain from the Explosive Tags among many people.
Sweeping his gaze over the people below, he said, "You must learn these two ninjutsu during this time, especially the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu. Learn it as quickly as possible."
The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was similar to the Shadow Clone Jutsu, so it probably would not be too difficult to learn. And in the early stages, ordinary Shadow Clones would be enough. After all, due to their immense Chakra, the Uzumaki Clan could create quite a large number of clones compared to ordinary people. Perhaps not as many as Prince Naruto, but compared to ordinary ninjas, heh...
That was the difference between a Jonin and a Genin. Perhaps only the Senju Clan could compare with them.
"We absolutely cannot retreat!!"
"Our homes and families are here. If we lose, all of this will disappear, so I'm begging you."
"Prince Xun!!"
All the ninjas looked at Xun Uzumaki as he bowed, their eyes reddening. They knew Xun was right. If, if they lost, then they...
"Now, each squad leader will lead your team and spread out through the forest." Xun Uzumaki said loudly. "Remember!! We will definitely win."
"Yes—!" all the ninjas answered loudly.
Watching the ninjas leave one after another, the Clan Elders exchanged looks. Then they looked at Xun Uzumaki and said, "Little Xun, what do you need us old fossils to do?"
Xun Uzumaki looked at the Clan Head and Clan Elders, took a deep breath, and bowed to them. "There is a very important task I need to give you. I..."
The Clan Elders saw Xun Uzumaki's expression and knew that this task was far from simple, perhaps even fatal. They immediately laughed. "It's fine, say it, Little Xun. As long as it can help the Uzumaki Clan and the Land of Whirlpools, tell us whatever it is!"
"That's right. Don't worry. We old fossils have lived long enough already. Don't be afraid, just say it!"
"Haha, even if we die, we'll make Kirigakure pay a terrible price. Say it!"
"What are you so afraid of now?" The Clan Head smiled as he stroked Xun Uzumaki's head. "Where did that bold Prince Xun from the meeting go? Say it!!"
"Clan Head, Great Elder, Second Elder, I..." Xun Uzumaki took a deep breath. Seeing the unconcerned expressions of the Clan Elders, he wiped away his tears and said seriously, "When Kirigakure's strong fighters appear, I need the Clan Elders to stop them. Even if you die, do not let a single one go."
That was right. Even if they died, they could not let a single one go. There was no other way. The Uzumaki Clan simply had too few strong fighters now. The powerful members of the older generation had all grown old and could no longer unleash their full strength. And because they had no Kage-level experts, they could only...
Reaper Death Seal. The Uzumaki Clan's forbidden sealing technique. It sold one's soul to the Reaper, summoned the Reaper, and sealed the target's soul. Though they could not defeat them, they could seal them!!
"That's all!!"
All the Clan Elders burst into laughter upon hearing Xun Uzumaki's proposal.
"That's right. This old man has lived long enough. If I'm going to die this time, I'll die for something worthwhile. At the very least, I'll seal a Quasi-Kage and let them see that the Uzumaki Clan is not so easy to bully."
"That's right, that's right. This old man is going to seal a Kage-level expert."
"Get lost. You're so old and worn-out, and you want a Kage-level expert? Watch me seal the Mizukage instead!"
"Haha, the Mizukage is mine."
"..."
Seeing that none of the Clan Elders had refused, and that they were instead laughing so boldly, Xun Uzumaki shed tears once more. "I'm counting on you."
"It's fine, it's fine." The Great Elder said, "Tell us what you old fossils need to do!"
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Xun Uzumaki seriously wiped his tears dry and said, "Hide first. When Kirigakure can no longer endure it and sends strong fighters to stop the Uzumaki Clan's ninjas, then make your move."
"Yes—."
All the Clan Elders replied seriously.
Then, after thinking for a moment, the Clan Head said, "Then, Little Xun, aren't you going to arrange for someone to protect you?"
