Yang Seal!

He calmly began to deceive, "You can think of me as a part of Tobirama, or a continuation. He conducted numerous studies back then, including cell replication experiments, aiming to replicate Hashirama and his new individual to ensure the Senju's status and prevent decline due to a lack of top-tier powerhouses.

Unfortunately, he died in the Land of Lightning before completing his research, and I am an immature product he left behind."

This was the story he had prepared. Upon learning that Konoha had sent people to communicate with the Uzumaki clan, he knew Uzumaki Kushina was about to be sent to Konoha.

He had to seize this opportunity to lure away the mother of the protagonist, cutting off the chance for the Hokage protagonist to be born, or rather, to change the identity of the protagonist's mother.

If Uzumaki Naruto's birth was a fixed fate that couldn't be easily changed, then he would alter the secondary factors. This would surely grant him a significant amount of Power of Destiny.

Masahiko Uzumaki was stunned and took a while to recover.

"Has Tobirama's research become this taboo?"

He knew Senju Tobirama liked to research forbidden Ninjutsu, but he never expected it to reach such a level.

"How has Sister been doing all these years?"

Thinking of his sister, Masahiko Uzumaki felt conflicted.

"Her material life is certainly good, but her spiritual life isn't great, especially since Sister Tsunade picked up Hashirama's gambling addiction. She loses every time she gambles. If this continues, the clan's Net Worth will be gambled away. She's already notorious, making it impossible to find a good husband, and it's infuriated Grandma Mito."

Tamura Hiroshi complained, knowing he couldn't show any flaws right now. These old guys were not easy to fool.

"Tsunade still hasn't quit gambling!"

Masahiko Uzumaki chuckled. He knew about this; that girl was indeed too fond of gambling, and her luck was terrible.

He didn't pay much attention to the boy's informal address that crossed generational lines, as his identity was already difficult to pinpoint.

"I've prepared some Sakura Mochi that Sister likes. Please take it back to her when you leave."

He suddenly said this. Masahiko Uzumaki was still suspicious of the boy's identity.

According to the reports, the leader of this group went to see the Great Elder. The Great Elder, of all people, was known to be extremely opposed to Konoha, and even the Senju Clan.

Furthermore, the Chakra of the three people outside didn't possess the vitality of the Senju Clan; it felt very wrong.

However, this test from Masahiko Uzumaki was glaringly obvious to Tamura Hiroshi. Possessing the ability to sense good and evil, Tamura Hiroshi had a good grasp of others' emotions and could sense that the Uzumaki clan head did not truly trust him yet.

"Grandma Mito likes Sakura Mochi? I've never seen her eat it."

He feigned confusion, indicating he hadn't seen it and questioning if he was being lied to.

"She liked it when she was little, but perhaps her tastes changed after she got married."

Masahiko Uzumaki casually brushed it off, feeling somewhat relieved. It seemed he was indeed from the Senju Clan and was close to his sister.

Meanwhile, Tamura Hiroshi, feeling the growing goodwill from Masahiko Uzumaki, inwardly scoffed at the old man's cliché tactics.

These kinds of probing scenes had been overused in movies and TV shows in his past life; there was nothing new about them.

"You weren't sent by Sister, were you?"

Masahiko Uzumaki got down to business. These people coming to Uzushio Hidden Village and immediately seeking out the Great Elder must have a reason.

Tamura Hiroshi also knew the real discussion was about to begin. He put on a slightly helpless expression and began to deceive, "There are many voices within the clan. Grandma Mito's side leans towards stability, willing to compromise constantly until their bottom line is tested by those people.

My side has already seen through Hiruzen Sarutobi and their ambitious intentions. The upcoming Great Ninja War will be a major crisis for both the Uzumaki clan and our Senju clan.

I wish to represent the Senju clan in inviting the Uzumaki clan to join Konoha and live together with us Senju, working together to plan for the future.

Most importantly, we must control the Nine-Tails. Whether in the Ninja World or within Konoha, immense strength is the foundation of everything.

The Senju clan has successively lost Hashirama and Tobirama and has weakened considerably. Now, they are being secretly guided by Hiruzen Sarutobi and others to be ostracized and isolated by many ninja clans within the village. Grandma Mito is also advanced in years, and her suppression of the Nine-Tails has become increasingly strenuous lately. This situation is dangerous..."

He combined the intelligence he had gathered from Dodai with his knowledge of Naruto to concoct this story, which he was sure would fool the old man.

Masahiko Uzumaki listened intently, his expression growing more solemn with each word.

The problems within Konoha were more complex and severe than he had imagined.

"I can tell you with certainty that the deployment of our clan's elites to the frontline in the Land of Earth was not accidental, nor was the joint siege of the Land of Whirlpools by the Four Great Shinobi Villages a coincidence. The Uzumaki clan can only continue to exist by merging with us Senju; otherwise, they will face extinction."

In the end, Tamura Hiroshi displayed a domineering attitude and an unshakeable resolve to secure the Uzumaki clan, essentially using the situation to pressure them.

This caused Masahiko Uzumaki to feel dissatisfied, seeing it as taking advantage of their predicament.

"Although the ninja armies of the Four Great Shinobi Villages are powerful, our Uzushio Hidden Village is not weak. This is our homeland, and we will not go anywhere."

Masahiko Uzumaki remained firm, knowing he couldn't show weakness at this moment.

"Having confidence is a good thing, and I look forward to seeing it. However, I must take this person with me today. We cannot let Hiruzen Sarutobi and his ilk get their hands on them."

Tamura Hiroshi smiled leisurely, simultaneously stating his intention to take the person with him—the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki they had chosen.

"Very well!"

After a moment of silence, Masahiko Uzumaki nodded in agreement. This was something they had agreed upon; his sister had mentioned it in her letter.

With the main business concluded, Masahiko Uzumaki looked at the young man before him with renewed curiosity.

"What talents of Tobirama have you inherited?"

He felt the boy's Chakra aura was very weak, suggesting his aptitude in that area might not be very good.

However, as a product and replication of Senju Tobirama, he should possess some extraordinary talents.

"Does intelligence count?"

Tamura Hiroshi said helplessly, then took out the Sword of the Thunder God from a Sealing Object Spell on the inside of a piece of armor, injecting Chakra into it to form a small lightning blade.

"I have many problems, the main one being my very poor Chakra Quantity aptitude. Grandma Mito said you might be able to help me."

He didn't know the depth of the Uzumaki clan's heritage, but it was certainly considerable, and they had inherited so many Sealing Techniques; surely there must be something that could help increase Chakra.

Moreover, this Sword of the Thunder God could serve as a token of trust, further convincing the old man before him.

As expected, upon seeing the Sword of the Thunder God, Masahiko Uzumaki completely believed him. After all, the Sword of the Thunder God was Tobirama's weapon; there was no mistake.

"Your Chakra Quantity is far too poor!"

Looking at the small lightning blade, Masahiko Uzumaki truly couldn't believe this was a replica of Senju Tobirama's.

As expected, it's an immature work!

"Sister likely sent you here for the Yang Seal that Brother-in-law asked Father to research back then, but I can't just give it to you for free."

Brother-in-law had asked Father to simplify the Yin Seal back then, so that ordinary Ninja could also master it, thereby accumulating Chakra and enhancing combat endurance and burst power.

It's just that Brother-in-law passed away too early, and Senju Tobirama followed soon after. Konoha's Hokage was replaced by Hiruzen Sarutobi, whom they were unfamiliar with, and this transaction was not continued.

However, before Father passed away, he had successfully simplified the Yin Seal, calling it the Yang Seal.

Although its effect was much weaker than the complete Yin Seal, its cultivation requirements were much lower. It didn't even require Yin-Yang Release; as long as Chakra control reached a sufficient standard, one could successfully cultivate it.
