Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

As tensions in the Land of Rain shifted due to the Hidden Rain's demands, Xin's team was dealing with their own set of problems.

The number of Iwa ninjas around the Hidden Grass Village was increasing. According to Ophis's observations, there were at least three Jonin squads and several Chunin squads scouring the area, as if searching for something-or someone.

"What are they looking for?" Nawaki wondered aloud, confused by their actions.

They weren't attacking the village or showing any signs of aggression; they were just searching.

"They might be looking for her," Xin suggested, glancing over at Uzumaki Nami, who was hiding in the tall grass.

For the past few days, Nami had been staying with them, and Tsunade had already sent word back. Once the war was over, she would take responsibility for Nami's future.

"I'll go ask," Xin said, approaching Nami.

"Have you seen any Iwa ninjas around here recently?" he asked gently.

"No," Nami answered quietly. "But there are other members of my clan in the Hidden Grass Village. I don't know where they're being kept, though."

That confirmed it. The Iwa ninjas were after the Uzumaki clan's bloodline.

Onoki wasn't a shortsighted leader like Hiruzen or Danzo. He was stubborn, but he had a long-term vision.

The presence of Iwa ninjas here was entirely due to their search for Uzumaki bloodlines.

Ōnoki was hoping to bring any surviving Uzumaki back to Iwagakure for training. Whether it was their advanced sealing techniques or their unique bloodline, the Hidden Stone Village valued these immensely.

Like the other villages, Iwagakure had its share of challenges when it came to finding suitable jinchuriki.

Upon hearing that Uzumaki bloodlines were discovered in the Hidden Grass Village, Ōnoki dispatched teams to find them. However, the Hidden Grass Village wasn't foolish-they had hidden these individuals away.

The Iwa ninja were becoming increasingly aggressive in their search.

Nawaki was starting to worry that Uzumaki Nami might be discovered by them.

"Xin, Minato, should we leave or stay here?" He asked.

"Those Iwa ninjas aren't here to attack the Grass Village,"

Minato replied, glancing over at Xin. "Even if they were, we're not strong enough to take them on."

"....."

Why are you both looking at me? If you want to leave, just say it.

"Let's go!" Xin finally decided. If they were already thinking about leaving, there was no reason to stay any longer.

At most, the Iwa ninjas would turn the Hidden Grass Village upside down. They weren't going to attack the village-doing so would only provoke Konoha without gaining anything in return.

Ōnoki isn't the type to take unnecessary risks.
