After hearing Masahiko Uzumaki's words, Tamura Hiroshi was moved, deeply moved.
From the other party's words, that Yang Seal was a Sealing Technique with the same function as the Yin Seal, capable of storing Chakra, which was precisely what he was currently short of.
Although his talent for Chakra Quantity was touching, his refinement speed was not slow. He could continuously refine Chakra in small amounts during non-combat states and store it to unleash during battles. This would cover his biggest weakness to some extent.
Furthermore, judging by the old man's demeanor, the Yang Seal should be usable by someone with his Chakra Quantity, making it more suitable for him.
However, obtaining this Yang Seal would clearly require offering something the other party was interested in. Did he have anything that could pique their interest?
Putting on a conflicted expression, Tamura Hiroshi finally gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the cultivation method for Sage Jutsu for the Uzumaki clan. Although it's not as powerful as Hashirama's, it can still increase your strength several times over.
But you need to temporarily hand over all the Classics and various resources of Uzushio Hidden Village to me. We will copy all the Classics.
The problem in the Land of Whirlpools war this time is far greater than you imagine. The chance of Uzushio Hidden Village surviving is less than ten percent.
Entrusting those to us temporarily, we will use them to rebuild the Uzumaki clan as quickly as possible after the war."
Masahiko Uzumaki fell silent, and after a while, he finally spoke.
"Do you know how to write the word 'shameless'?"
In my entire life, I've never seen such a brazen and shameless individual. 'Empty-handed wolf' doesn't even begin to describe your methods.
"With Grandma Mito here, are you afraid I'll embezzle your clan's foundation? If it weren't for the generations of in-laws between the Uzumaki clan and us, do you think I would have risked coming here?"
Tamura Hiroshi shot him a glare without backing down, invoking Mito Uzumaki's name.
Since my identity as a direct descendant of the Senju clan, Senju Hiroshi, has been confirmed, I naturally have to make good use of it.
This statement made Masahiko Uzumaki fall into thought. Although the kid's words were shameless, with his sister in the Senju clan, he wouldn't dare to scheme against them.
"Are there any hidden circumstances in this war in the Land of Whirlpools?"
He asked, feeling that the kid's words implied more.
Adopting a serious and solemn expression, Tamura Hiroshi earnestly deceived him, "Madara Uchiha is not dead. A perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is the only existence that can make him wary right now."
He didn't elaborate, merely mentioning Madara Uchiha's name, leaving the rest for them to figure out.
For an old man who had lived through the Warring States period, the name Madara Uchiha carried considerable deterrence.
As expected, upon hearing Madara Uchiha's name, Masahiko Uzumaki's expression changed drastically.
This was truly terrible news!
With his brother-in-law gone, Madara Uchiha was the epitome of invincibility. It seemed Uzushio Hidden Village was truly doomed this time.
"Wait here!"
After pondering with an uncertain expression for a good while, Masahiko Uzumaki said this and quickly left.
Tamura Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, then looked at the Death God Masks here. After some thought, he took out a storage scroll from his backpack and sealed all the Death God Masks here, packing them together.
He had prepared many of these blank storage scrolls, originally intended for looting bodies on the battlefield. They could also be used to seal other things.
It was a shame the Sealing Object Spell in his armor wasn't high enough to stack seals on the storage scrolls, otherwise, he could have infinite storage scrolls, turning himself into a mobile arsenal.
Not long after, Masahiko Uzumaki returned carrying two huge storage scrolls. Seeing the empty shelves, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"Take them and get lost!"
He threw the two huge storage scrolls from his back to the youth and gestured for him to get lost quickly.
Seeing you annoys me!
"Is this the person you chose? She doesn't look very smart."
Tamura Hiroshi slung the two huge storage scrolls onto his back and sized up the big loli behind Masahiko Uzumaki.
The big loli's eyes were red, and her gaze was filled with reluctance.
"You're the one who's stupid!"
The big loli, who was feeling reluctant inside, became angry and glared resentfully at the white-haired boy.
"As expected, not very smart!"
Tamura Hiroshi sighed. He stepped forward, under Masahiko Uzumaki's gaze, and suddenly delivered a Hand Blade to the big loli, knocking her unconscious and slinging her over his shoulder. He casually brushed his hair and used Transformation Jutsu to change it into a black pompadour.
"I'm taking the person. I hope to see you in Konoha, otherwise, this girl and Grandma Mito will be heartbroken for a long time."
Waving his hand, Tamura Hiroshi left decisively, leaving Masahiko Uzumaki with a dark expression and bulging veins.
"I hope they can make it through!"
Finally, Masahiko Uzumaki sighed, his heart filled with worry.
The Ninja Armies of the Four Great Shinobi Villages alone were difficult to deal with. If Madara Uchiha, lurking in the shadows, were added to the mix, he saw no hope at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous request to have the clan's foundation taken away. At least it could leave a fallback for the clan.
The three Cloud Ninja Anbu who had been lurking outside saw Tamura Hiroshi emerge with two large scrolls and a girl and were even more bewildered, not understanding what had happened inside.
"Let's go!"
With a simple word, Tamura Hiroshi walked quickly, and the three Anbu could only follow suit.
Not to mention Tamura Hiroshi, who had reaped a huge harvest here, Dodai on the other side met with the Uzumaki elder.
"Junior, whose family are you from?"
Uzumaki Ashina sized up the young man before him. He could only confirm that the other party was unlikely to be from Konoha; otherwise, they would have gone to see the Clan Head, not him, the old man who disliked Konoha the most.
"This junior is Dodai, Raikage's Assistant from Kumogakure. This is the operational plan for our Four Great Shinobi Villages' joint attack on Uzushio Hidden Village. Please review it, senior."
Dodai adopted a very humble posture and handed over a scroll he had prepared earlier.
The Four Great Shinobi Villages had already been in contact regarding the Uzumaki clan's Sealing Techniques. Although they hadn't formed an alliance, they had an agreement not to interfere with each other. What they could obtain from the Uzumaki clan this time would depend on their own abilities.
With this in mind, they had a rough joint operational plan, which was the scroll he was now presenting.
These words left Uzumaki Ashina somewhat stunned. He immediately took the scroll, unrolled it, and his expression instantly turned grim.
"Are you threatening me?"
He stared sharply at the young man before him, viewing this as a threat.
Don't think we, the Uzumaki clan, are afraid of you Four Great Shinobi Villages.
"It's not a threat, but a sincere invitation for the Uzumaki clan to join us in Kumogakure. This invitation has always been valid."
Dodai's face was full of sincerity, and indeed, he was very sincere. He genuinely wanted to invite the Uzumaki clan to join their Kumogakure and become a member of the village.
Whether it was the Tailed Beast clone Jinchuriki plan or the research and mass production of firearms, they needed the Uzumaki clan's assistance to develop rapidly.
Uzumaki Ashina stared at Dodai for a long time before his expression finally softened. His gaze then returned to the scroll in his hand.
"Kumogakure doesn't seem to be our best option."
Calming down, he wanted to see how much sincerity this junior and Kumogakure still had.
This operational plan of the Four Great Shinobi Villages' secret alliance was a good display of sincerity, but it wasn't enough.
After all, Kumogakure wanted their Uzumaki clan, not just a certain Sealing Technique.
This wasn't something that couldn't be discussed, but it would require greater sincerity.
