After spending a night with the Uzumaki Clan, he began checking the results the next day. Aside from techniques involving the Uchiha Sharingan, which he could not teach them, he had held nothing back. Of all those ninjutsu, the Uzumaki Clan liked the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Rasengan best.
Those two techniques suited their clan perfectly. Although they could not match Naruto's achievements in the original story, they were still stronger than most ninja. Not just anyone could learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. It would drain anyone with insufficient chakra dry, which was why it was classified as a forbidden jutsu.
The other techniques were merely icing on the cake. Even though Uchiha Mu had already simplified many of them using his Sharingan, the time required to form hand seals remained a problem. In this era, they were nowhere near as useful as taijutsu or swordsmanship.
Why could the Raikage become Kumogakure's strongest fighter and pose an enormous threat to other nations with just one nintaijutsu technique? Because it was simple and brutally effective, with no windup. Most people could not react in time. On top of that, he had built himself into a tank in a shinobi world full of fragile fighters. How was an assassin supposed to fight a warrior?
Then the twenty people who had gone to Uchiha Mu's village utterly crushed the sheltered youngsters here. The Uzumaki Clan was stunned. Did Uchiha Mu really have some special talent for teaching? They could at least see that his ninjutsu all suited their clan.
Who was the real Uzumaki here? Why did the techniques he invented suit them so perfectly?
After the fighting ended, Uchiha Mu turned to Uzumaki Ashina. "What do you think?"
"Hmm. Go back and decide who will be heading to the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation next." Uzumaki Ashina decided to keep cultivating friendly ties with Uchiha Mu. Although he did not understand Uchiha Mu's motives, the offer of free training was undeniably enticing.
All they had provided were some sealing jutsu and barriers. Uchiha Mu had not asked for a single one of their forbidden jutsu, while the clansmen sent there had brought his techniques back with them. Whichever way they looked at it, they had won twice over.
"Yes, Clan Leader." The other elders' eyes lit up. Their children had also taken part just now, and they were curious about Uchiha Mu's training methods. Sending them over for training was a good choice. Once they returned a year later, they could spread his methods throughout the clan.
In fact, quite a few of the previous twenty had similar backgrounds, and they were currently being questioned by their elders.
Uchiha Mu's clones had taught them personally. What did they mean by focusing on chakra control? Every one of them had learned the Mystical Palm Technique, and then they had quickly mastered the other ninjutsu?
For these Uzumaki with their yang release chakra, having them all learn medical ninjutsu before branching out into other ninjutsu was the fastest approach. Learning medical ninjutsu required sufficiently precise chakra control.
He had not simply crammed ninjutsu and sealing jutsu into their heads. What mattered most was finding what suited them. The powerful figures of the future were all like that, becoming famous throughout the shinobi world with just one or two ninjutsu.
Then came training their presence and fighting Uchiha Mu's clones. Such wholehearted dedication to their training moved the Uzumaki elders, and they decided to send their descendants over for further study.
Given enough time, once these elders grew old, the Land of Whirlpools would naturally become part of the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation. That was Uchiha Mu's overt scheme. As for keeping ninjutsu within the clan or worrying about leaked techniques, such things were meaningless before an overwhelmingly powerful fighter. So what if he let them learn them?
Besides, he had planned everything from the beginning when choosing whom to teach. How could these people, who were only just establishing villages, have encountered this kind of infiltration before? They had always assumed that coveting something meant attacking, robbing, and occupying. Helping train people and giving away ninjutsu had never crossed their minds.
"I heard about you and Keiko Uzumaki. Do you really intend to leave the life of a ninja behind and become a daimyo or noble?" Only then did Uzumaki Ashina return to the matter between Uchiha Mu and Keiko Uzumaki.
"Of course not. Just these two. I couldn't handle any more." Uchiha Mu smiled.
"Hmph. That wasn't a compliment. Still, we need to announce our marriage alliance. A woman of the Uzumaki Clan cannot be treated any worse than the Hyuga woman." Uzumaki Ashina's expression was stern. Truthfully, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Had it been anyone else, they would have sealed him away long ago.
"All right." Uchiha Mu nodded in agreement. He knew Ashina wanted to use his fame to accomplish a few things. Uzumaki Ashina had thought it through as well. Between the names Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Mu, the latter inspired more dread in the shinobi world.
Even if Hashirama was stronger than Uchiha Mu, Uchiha Mu's conduct spoke for itself. He would swindle your village out of its money, then wipe you out if you came knocking to settle the score. Who would not fear someone who took everything and gave nothing? Hashirama, on the other hand, was willing to beg for the sake of peace. There was no need to explain which of them people feared more.
"You really got the better end of this deal. Keiko is one of our clan's geniuses, and she's the first Uzumaki woman to agree to let you marry two women. You're an odd one, though. You didn't find yourself an Uchiha woman." Uzumaki Ashina gave a soft snort. Anyone in his position would have felt the same.
Imagine Uchiha Mu having a daughter someday, only for her to share a husband with another woman. Just imagine how he would view that son-in-law. It was simply that, from Uchiha Mu's current perspective, the arrangement felt fantastic.
"The Uchiha... ah." Uchiha Mu sighed. He had lived in that clan. Once they awakened their eyes, every last one became insufferably arrogant. The ordinary ones who had not awakened their eyes were all right, but expecting them to abandon their stable lives and leave Konoha with the previous Uchiha Mu had been unrealistic.
"Hahaha!" Uzumaki Ashina burst out laughing. He understood Uchiha Mu's sigh.
Now that he had arrived in the Land of Whirlpools, he naturally needed to settle things here before discussing anything else, so Uchiha Mu decided to stay for a short while. As long as the clones in his village did not exhaust their chakra, they should hold out for a while. Even if they vanished, Hyuga Lingnai was still there.
The very next day, the Uzumaki Clan spread word of the marriage alliance between Uchiha Mu and Keiko Uzumaki. Since the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation was already well known throughout the shinobi world, intelligence ninja from the major nations quickly sent the news home.
They now had to reassess the significance of the Uzumaki Clan establishing the Land of Whirlpools. If it were only the Land of Whirlpools, they could besiege it until it fell. After all, how many ninja could a single clan produce? Most of its members were ordinary people.
But things were different now. Could the Land of Whirlpools, Konoha, and the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation join forces? That was the question they focused on investigating.
After all, the founder of the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation had been an Uchiha. Whatever the reasons the other clan members had not followed him, he was still an Uchiha. Mito Uzumaki had married Hokage Hashirama, and now another Uzumaki was marrying Uchiha Mu. Taken together, those two alliances changed everything.
Only one clan was red-faced over this: the Hyuga Clan. Who did not know that Hyuga Lingnai had run off with Uchiha Mu? And now a woman of their clan had to share an Uchiha with a woman from another ninja clan?
Why call it sharing? Because Keiko Uzumaki was now the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation's representative, and everything went through her. Did that show any regard for the Hyuga? Was it not plainly telling everyone that the Hyuga Clan stood a rank below the Uchiha Clan?
