Some people don't speak easily, but that doesn't mean that what they say has no effect. On the contrary, it is precisely because their words are too effective that they remain silent.
Uzumaki Mito has a lot of say in Konohagakure, not only because of her status as the wife of the first Hokage, but also because she is a very capable ninja. She has such a say, but she is willing to stay behind the scenes and not use this power. This is not something that ordinary people can do, so when she speaks, everyone has to listen to her voice carefully.
At this time, Uzumaki Mito began to support Hanyu's proposal to establish a new ninja organization in the village, and her opinion was like a heavy ballast stone, which instantly made the entire Konoha high-level decision begin to lean towards Hanyu's ideas.
The meeting was temporarily interrupted, and the Third Hokage left the place and went to meet Uzumaki Mito, and the two then had a secret talk.
What the Third Hokage didn't expect was that when he came in front of Uzumaki Mito, before he could mention the issue of the new organization, Uzumaki Mito took the initiative to talk about another matter.
"Sarutobi, if the Uzumaki clan wants to move their entire clan to Konoha and integrate the Whirlpool Country into the Fire Country...what is your opinion, positive or negative?"
In front of Uzumaki Mito, Sarutobi Hiruzen was just a junior, so she was more direct when speaking and asked this question straight to the point.
The Hokage's opinion is very important, especially in recent period of time, including the handling of war and other matters, the young Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has done a good job.
This question came out of nowhere, and the Third Hokage was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Uzumaki Mito was simply asking about this matter without any hidden meaning, he spoke, "Mito-sama, just from my personal point of view, even from the standpoint of the Hokage, if the Uzumaki clan can be integrated into Konoha, it would be a rare good thing."
The Third Hokage certainly held a positive attitude.
"The power of the Uzumaki clan is very special and powerful. Even if we put it in the most utilitarian way, no one would push such power out...it is even the kind of thing that needs to be fought for."
However, the Third Hokage's idea was one thing, but putting it into practice was another.
"However... at this stage, the situation in the village and the division of various interests have actually become stable. The integration of the Uzumaki clan is a variable for Konoha, so... before taking any action, we need to consider all aspects.
But even if there are problems of this or that kind, if Mito-sama and the Uzumaki clan have already made plans in this regard, I will still support and agree with it. The rest is just a matter of how to do it... It's best to do it step by step."
When communicating with Uzumaki Mito, the Third Hokage also expressed his true intentions directly. He didn't need to hide anything in front of the other party.
It is normal for the Third Hokage to support the Uzumaki clan's decision to relocate. The fusion of two ninja villages naturally has its pros and cons, but compared to the Uzumaki village, the size and scale of the Hidden Leaf Village is large enough, so there is no need to worry about indigestion after swallowing the Uzumaki clan - there is no problem at all for a Fortune 500 company to merge with a township enterprise.
Moreover, compared to the short-term disadvantages brought about by the Uzumaki clan's integration into Konoha, the benefits they bring are too obvious... As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly hopes the village can continue to grow in his hands.
And there is an especially crucial point. The Uzumaki clan is not the kind of ninja clan that likes to jump around. Their biggest problem is that they are a little "autistic" and like to guard their own little piece of land. But now the decision to migrate they have made is not a preparation to come out of their autism.
A group of people who have very special abilities, are low-key and have never taken the initiative to do anything messy. They are equivalent to subordinates who have outstanding performance, always work overtime silently but never mention salary issues. There is no way that leaders don't like them.
"If you can think this way, it couldn't be better... Judging from the current situation in the ninja world, we foresee that a small village like Uzumaki will not be able to survive alone in the future. It will either change or be destroyed. There are only two possible outcomes. That's why I have the idea of merging with Konoha. After discussing with the clan, everyone has agreed with my judgment. The only thing left is Konoha's attitude."
The Uzumaki clan's decision certainly wasn't made by just a few words, but Uzumaki Mito's opinion certainly played a big role in it.
"The Ninja World War has already ended. It must be a particularly complicated matter for the Uzumaki clan to choose to enter Konoha at this time. Considering the collective consciousness of the village, the Uzumaki clan cannot just want unilateral "shelter", but to make an "exchange" of equal value with the village - the Uzumaki clan can't give out much valuable things, but there are still some after all."
However, in reality, Uzumaki has a lot of valuable things to offer. Its problem is that it has not experienced the joint struggle of the various ninja clans of Konoha Village during the formation of Konoha, or even during the First Ninja World War, and has not made that level of contribution to Konoha. So when they are ready to integrate into this village, the blood that was not shed for it at that time will now be shed again.
"Exchange? What exactly do you want to say, Mito-sama?"
"Specifically, it's what Hanyu mentioned... Shadow Stream."
Then, Uzumaki Mito began to tell the Third Hokage about Hanyu's plan to further control the power of the Nine-Tails. The Uzumaki clan would sacrifice for the further division of the Nine-Tails' power, and at the same time play a due role and contribution to the control of multiple Nine-Tails in the future. Therefore, this clan could not only enter Konoha, but also gain a foothold in the village with this unique "job".
"Is this kind of thing...really possible? And, how could Hanyu know such a thing?"
After listening to Uzumaki Mito's story, the Third Hokage was surprised at first, and then began to doubt. This matter naturally sounded very good, and being able to further control the power of the Nine-Tails for the village's use, the Third Hokage naturally wanted it, but it was a bit too good, so Sarutobi Hiruzen doubted the feasibility of the entire plan, and also doubted why Hanyu could come up with such a plan.
The current Third Hokage is only in his twenties, and obviously has not yet learned the ultimate sealing technique like the Shiki Fuujin. In fact, now is the first time he has heard of this technique - the Third Hokage should have come into contact with the Shiki Fuujin at least after .
Uzumaki himself had no descendants, so he left all his inheritance to Konoha.
However, it was too strange that Hanyu knew something that the Third Hokage didn't know... Sarutobi Hiruzen's surprise index at this moment was much higher than when Uzumaki Mito heard Hanyu's statement.
"I think Misaki told him."
"…"
Sarutobi even felt a little aggrieved. You have so many little secrets, but you don't tell me, the Hokage.
"Hanyu... that's not what was said in the report he submitted to me. In his report, the purpose of establishing the 'Shadow Stream' was just to split up the work of the Anbu or the Root."
"It can be considered a cover-up. The establishment of an organization requires an obvious reason, and the true purpose of the organization must be hidden... Separating the Nine-Tails is an extremely confidential matter. This secret will only be in the hands of the Hokage and the Kage in the future."
Uzumaki Mito's decision and his demand for extreme confidentiality were not only to protect the secret of the Nine-Tails, but also to protect the Uzumaki clan who had the ability to asexually multiply the tailed beasts.
The discussion between Uzumaki Mito and the Third Hokage is still going on. They need to fill in the details of the plan step by step. However, no matter what, Hanyu's idea has become a plan that can be executed.
"My body can still hold on, so this is not a very urgent matter, but the Uzumaki clan's migration and the preliminary preparations for the plan to split the tailed beasts can now begin. The Uzumaki clan can prepare for the general process, except for a certain link."
"A certain link?"
"It's the Impure World Reincarnation Technique of the Second Hokage. It's a forbidden technique that can control life and death. Even the Second Hokage knew that it was too immoral , so he sealed it up. Therefore, the Uzumaki clan certainly doesn't know this technique, and no one in Konoha can use such a technique now.
Its learning difficulty, cost and use risk are extremely high. It is neither the kind of ninjutsu that ordinary ninjas can learn nor the kind that ordinary ninjas can learn.
However, Sarutobi, I heard that there is a ninja in the village who is very good at learning ninjutsu. He has already been given the title of doctor or professor. He must be able to learn it, so... Sarutobi, do you understand?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "…"
Should he reply at this time, "Yes, it is me"?
It is better not to beat around the bush like this. Euphemisms for the sake of euphemism are not euphemistic at all.
