"Really?"
Listening to Mitokado Homura's words, Namikawa Yū nodded, not surprised by this situation. "This is not surprising."
No matter what, they are living a good life there, and now you just want them to move and move them all into Konoha. How is this possible?
You must know that Land of Whirlpools is not only your hometown, but also your own country.
Being in Land of Whirlpools, Uzumaki Clan has absolute autonomy, why did it come to Konoha?
Unfortunately, if they keep thinking this way, they will run into problems sooner or later.
Land of Whirlpools is alone overseas. Although it is close to Konoha, it is still relatively far away.
Its own strength is not very strong, but it controls Sealing Technique, the strongest Ninja World.
The people of the Uzumaki Clan generally possess Kekkei Genkai. They are not only born with huge chakra, but also often have tenacious vitality. They are excellent materials for becoming ninjas and even Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.
Kekkei Genkai, Sealing Technique, the rare Tailed Beast container... They have all these things that are very rare to the outside world, but they are still alone overseas. Apart from forming an alliance with Konoha, they have no contact with other people.
Such an existence would be coveted by everyone.
History is the clearest proof.
If nothing changes, Land of Whirlpools will perish in a few years, and the remaining clan members will be transferred to the entire Ninja World and become orphans in various countries.
This is probably how Nagato and Xiangling appeared in later generations.
In later generations, some people said that Konoha played some kind of dishonorable role in this incident and deliberately did not go to the rescue when Land of Whirlpools was attacked, which led to the destruction of Land of Whirlpools.
Namikawa Yū felt that this was impossible after he succeeded to the throne of Hokage.
Not to mention that Konoha and Land of Whirlpools are allies, just those Sealing Technique are enough to make Konoha unable to break up.
You must know that within the entire Ninja World, through the relationship between Uzumaki Mito and others, Konoha is the only one who has the ability to learn Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique.
To put it bluntly, this is also the unique advantage that Konoha has.
This can also be seen from later generations.
Compared with the seals of other major Jinchūriki, the seal on Uzumaki Naruto, who is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is obviously much more stable. Except when he encounters danger, the Nine-Tails on his body will not have any impact on him.
On the other hand, Jinchūriki in other villages was not so lucky.
Kumogakure is okay, although Sealing Technique is not strong enough, at least Amber Purifying Pot and Six Paths Tools make up for it, so there won't be any big problems with the seal.
But even so, Eight-Tails's Jinchūriki also ran wild several times until it encountered Killer B.
The situation of Sand Village is very miserable. In order to seal Shukaku, Jinchūriki was tortured to a state of disgrace.
The last generation One-Tail Jinchuriki Gaara was once forced to become a gay, but finally got better and recovered with the help of Uzumaki Naruto's persuasion.
The gap is so huge, which shows how powerful and stable Uzumaki Clan Sealing Technique is.
In this case, Uzumaki Clan was exterminated, and Sealing Technique among them were plundered by the enemy. What benefit would this bring to Konoha?
However, when Land of Whirlpools was attacked, the Konoha side did not provide large-scale assistance. This is also an indisputable fact.
But regarding this point, after Namikawa Yū took over as Hokage, after thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood what was going on.
"Land of Whirlpools is alone overseas. Although it is close to Land of Fire, it is still quite far away from Konoha."
In the conference room, Namikawa Yū pointed to the map of Land of Whirlpools, and then said, "Once something happens to Land of Whirlpools, it will be difficult for us to support it."
"Will that be the case?"
Everyone present was a little puzzled by Namikawa Yū's words. "Land of Whirlpools's strength is not weak. Even if something happens, it should be enough to last us until we come to help."
Uzumaki Clan, who has mastered the powerful Sealing Technique and possesses the unique Kekkei Genkai himself, is definitely not a weakling.
In everyone's opinion, with the Uzumaki Clan's strength, even if there had been an attack earlier, as long as it could hold out for a few days until Konoha came to the rescue, nothing would be a problem.
"That's the normal situation."
Namikawa Yū said calmly, "But what if it is Kumogakure who does it?"
Kumogakure?
Hearing this answer, everyone present was stunned.
"It's no secret that Kumogakure likes to plunder the secrets of various existences and Kekkei Genkai."
Namikawa Yū spoke softly, "In this regard, Kekkei Genkai and Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan are famous all over the world. Wouldn't Kumogakure be tempted by this?"
"Whether it's a container that can serve as a Jinchūriki, a superior Sealing Technique, a Uzumaki Clan, or a Kekkei Genkai, there are many here."
"With Kumogakure's temperament, wouldn't he attack this place?"
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present could not help but become solemn.
They have to admit that what Namikawa Yū said is likely to become reality.
After all, in this regard, Kumogakure has a lot of criminal records.
In a way, this village is a gangster village.
Relying on the powerful force of their own village, many of their secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai were stolen from outside, which can be said to be a bad record in this regard.
For example, later generations took advantage of Hinata Hyuga's birthday to kidnap Hinata Hyuga in an attempt to obtain Byakugan Kekkei Genkai. This was done by Kumogakure.
It was Kumogakure who kidnapped the young Uzumaki Kushina and wanted to obtain Uzumaki Clan Kekkei Genkai and Sealing Technique.
Sand Village is a unique Magnet Release ninja, and Kumogakure is also owned by someone.
The plundering of the secret arts did not show much, but Konoha has the secret skill Dance of the Crescent Moon, and Kumogakure has the Yunliu Three Sun and Moon Slash. This can hardly be said to be an ordinary coincidence.
Regarding Kumogakure's unscrupulous ways of plundering various spells and Kekkei Genkai's style, the later Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki also complained about Five Kage Summit.
With so many criminal records, it's hard to imagine that they wouldn't be interested in the Uzumaki Clan.
From the perspective of distance, apart from Konoha, there is a high probability that the only one who has the ability to attack Uzumaki Clan is Kumogakure.
"This... shouldn't be the case, right?"
Kagami Uchiha was stunned, a little unsure at the moment. "We have just signed the armistice agreement, and Third Raikage has just succeeded to the throne. Does he want to start a war with us so soon?"
Uzumaki Clan and Konoha are allies. Once Kumogakure attacks Land of Whirlpools, it will be like starting a war with Konoha.
And just now, the two of them had just signed an armistice agreement.
"Of course not at this time, but later it will be hard to say."
Namikawa Yū shook his head. "As for the armistice agreement, that thing is just a piece of waste paper."
"If I were Raikage, once I decided to attack Uzumaki Clan, I would be very careful. I would lead a large number of ninjas to attack Land of Whirlpools when no one was paying attention. When Konoha was not paying attention, I would destroy the entire Land of Whirlpools, plunder most of it, and then evacuate."
"Even if Konoha is wary, as long as it keeps waiting, it will always find an opportunity."
"When Land of Whirlpools is completely destroyed, we Konoha may have just reacted. What should we do then?"
"For the sake of a destroyed Land of Whirlpools, do you want to start a war with Kumogakure again?"
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but frown.
Indeed, this matter is quite difficult.
With Kumogakure's style, they won't care about Konoha's threat of war.
If they really wait until they destroy Land of Whirlpools and achieve their desired goal, then Konoha will have no choice but to suffer the loss no matter how reluctant it is.
The most important thing is that this problem is still unsolved.
After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?
Kumogakure can keep an eye on Land of Whirlpools at all times, waiting for Konoha to launch a surprise attack when one side is careless, but it is impossible for Konoha side to be on guard at all times.
"From Konoha to Land of Whirlpools, if we mobilize an army of ninjas, it will take at least five days."
Mitokado Homura looked at the map and couldn't help but frown. "In five days, if Kumogakure really wants to take action, I'm afraid Land of Whirlpools will be gone."
"How about garrisoning troops directly at Land of Whirlpools?"
Shimura Danzō suggested. "How about stationing troops directly in Land of Whirlpools to protect them?"
"No."
As soon as Shimura Danzō finished speaking, someone present objected. "Land of Whirlpools is just our ally, not our subordinate. We have no name to station troops there."
"And even if we do garrison troops, who will bear the cost of garrisoning them?"
"If Land of Whirlpools is responsible for it, I'm afraid it will also cause dissatisfaction with the Uzumaki Clan."
This is where the trouble lies.
Uzumaki Clan and Konoha are not affiliated.
They are just allies.
As an ally, you want to station troops on Land of Whirlpools. If this really happens, what will Uzumaki Clan think?
Land of Whirlpools would never agree to this kind of loss of sovereignty.
It was only then that everyone realized the thorny nature of this problem.
From a strategic point of view, Land of Whirlpools cannot but be protected.
But because of the distance, if something happens, they Konoha will definitely not be able to catch up with the rescue.
This problem seems to have no solution.
"This won't work, and that won't work either."
Shimura Danzō frowned and said coldly, "If it really doesn't work, let's just take action first.
"No matter what, the secret technique mastered by the Uzumaki Clan cannot fall into the hands of other villages."
Be the first to strike?
Mitokado Homura asked, "What do you mean?"
"Literally."
Shimura Danzō said calmly, "Let us take action first and destroy Uzumaki Clan before other villages take action. We will have all Sealing Technique and Uzumaki Clan's Kekkei Genkai in our hands, so that there will be no hidden dangers."
How dare you say that!
After listening to Danzo's words, everyone present fell silent.
They looked at Danzo in front of them, feeling that the other person was so strange at this moment.
No matter how you say it, Uzumaki Clan and Konoha are allies.
They were just talking about how to rescue Uzumaki Clan in the future, but Danzo's words made them unable to hold back any longer.
As long as Uzumaki Clan is destroyed first, it will not be extinct in the hands of others, right?
