SWNOVELXO Chapter 192: Chapter 85: Why the Extinction?
The Uzumaki Clan, as the descendants of Asura, had bright red hair that was a symbol of vigorous life force.
Due to their Sage Body, they were naturally endowed with a greater amount of Chakra than ordinary people. Coupled with their special physique and Sealing Jutsu, adult Uzumaki Clan ninja could even easily suppress Tailed Beasts.
It was said that the stronger the talent, the more vibrant the color of the hair on their head.
Kamihane, with Nian, had arrived at the entrance of Whirlpool Hidden Village. Looking at the heads of vibrant, elfin-like red hair, he couldn't help but reveal a look of interest.
"Halt, who are you people!"
The guard at the entrance immediately looked vigilant. With a wave of his hand, three or five Uzumaki Clan ninja surrounded them. There were men and women, and according to the judging standards of ordinary ninja, their Chakra fluctuations were all at the jōnin level.
Normally, a red hair appearing in a crowd would be quite eye-catching. But now, the uncle and nephew were standing in a group of beautiful redheads, and these two black hairs had become quite conspicuous.
"Don't be nervous, we're here to deliver goods," Kamihane said, pushing up his sunglasses, smiling as he took out a voucher and handed it to the leading man.
The man glanced at it simply. The muscles in his face immediately relaxed, and his earlier nervousness disappeared. Even his tone softened a lot.
"So you're friends of Tantōsai. I wonder if the batch of swords we ordered has been completed?"
"Of course," Kamihane said, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly as he gestured forward.
Nian immediately understood, taking out a storage scroll from his robes. He wore a cool expression on his face.
"The goods are all here."
The crowd immediately made way, and the leading man said with a smile, "Please come in."
A breeze blew by, and the village gate opened wide. Even the air flow became much lighter.
Kamihane stepped in with Nian, surveying his surroundings with his peripheral vision, marveling at what he saw.
From far away, he had sensed that the entire Whirlpool Hidden Village was wrapped in a powerful Barrier. It was completely transparent, hidden in the air, intangible but substantial, and the level was quite high.
Aside from breaking through with force, Kamihane couldn't think of any way to crack the Barrier.
Strange, they clearly have such a strong Barrier, so how exactly was the Uzumaki Clan wiped out in the original timeline?
He thought about it for a moment, and two vague guesses suddenly appeared in his mind:
The first possibility was that there was an internal traitor within the Uzumaki Clan, that some greedy clan members had been bought off by ambitious people. With internal cooperation, the huge Barrier would naturally collapse from within;
The second possibility was that the people who attacked the Land of Whirlpools that night were exceptionally powerful, and the number was beyond imagination, comparable to the vanguard of an army during wartime, attacking and capturing fortresses all the way. No matter how strong your Barrier was, it would be difficult to stand alone, like a turtle in a jar.
For the Uzumaki's extinction in the original timeline, the reason was actually very simple. After Kamihane had personally experienced these things in the shinobi world, many more thoughts appeared in his mind.
On the surface, the Uzumaki Clan was feared because their Sealing Jutsu was too powerful. In the end, the major countries secretly colluded and attacked them en masse, which led to their demise.
But who feared them?
As everyone knew, the Uzumaki Clan was good at Sealing Jutsu, and could even suppress violent Tailed Beasts. So, certain shinobi villages that possessed Tailed Beasts were very suspicious.
What were Tailed Beasts? For normal ninja, they were a natural disaster, endless Chakra, a strong desire to destroy, a mountain-like body full of oppression. A single Tailed Beast Ball could obliterate half a shinobi village. They were terrifying beings that countless people dreaded.
Imagine if you could make this monster controllable, seal it into a human body, allowing humans to use the Tailed Beast's Chakra and unleash terrifying power. Wouldn't that be creating a kage-level expert out of thin air, a walking human-shaped nuclear weapon!
With this idea in mind, the Jinchūriki was born.
But at first, everyone's seals were not stable. No one could come up with a set of mature techniques. The Tailed Beast's emotions easily infected the Jinchūriki. Once it went berserk, it would be their own shinobi village that would bear the brunt, facing a devastating blow.
Whether it was the Hidden Sand Village, which was resource-poor and worked behind closed doors;
Or the Hidden Stone Village, which had seals that were too strong, causing the Jinchūriki to be unable to unleash the Tailed Beast's full power;
Or the Hidden Mist Village, which left it to fate, whether one could become a perfect Jinchūriki all depended on personal fate;
Or the Hidden Cloud Village, which had immature sealing techniques and where the Tailed Beast was prone to going berserk, they all faced the same dilemma.
Perhaps, for them at this time, the Tailed Beast was not a gift, but rather a ticking time bomb that could blow them up at any time.
At this moment, the Hidden Leaf Village in the original timeline had a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki - Mito Uzumaki.
Putting aside the fact that she used her strong physique and Sealing Jutsu to subdue the strongest Nine-Tails, just the fact that she had never gone berserk in her entire life was enough to make her stand out from the crowd, slapping the faces of the other four major shinobi villages.
A tree that is taller than the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Everyone was in the early stages, struggling to run even two kilometers. Why were you already able to fly in the sky?
As long as the Uzumaki Clan existed, wouldn't you, Konoha, have countless stable Jinchūriki candidates?
How could that be allowed? I can't handle you, Konoha, but can't I handle your small Whirlpool Hidden Village?
Thus, a vigorous plan to exterminate the clan was quietly brewing.
In the original timeline, the timing of the Uzumaki's extinction was very subtle. It happened a few years before the outbreak of the Second shinobi World War. At that time, Konoha was in a period of transition, with a shortage of talent.
The Second Hokage had died, Mito Uzumaki was old and dying, the Silver Generation of the Sannin, Sakumo Hatake and others had not yet been able to stand on their own, and only Hiruzen Sarutobi could be pulled out to serve as a facade… Looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village, you could hardly find a few ninja who could really fight.
In Kamihane's view, the real culprit who harmed the Uzumaki Clan was actually the Land of Whirlpools' greatest reliance—Hashirama Senju.
Kamihane's view was the same as Madara's: distributing the Tailed Beasts was an extremely stupid act. He had clearly decided on the Will of Fire to protect the village and comrades, but he had to personally distribute weapons to potential threats, adding to the hidden dangers!
Including the relationship with the Uzumaki Clan, Konoha had the strength and foundation to simultaneously collect all nine Tailed Beasts, creating nine Jinchūriki with Sealing Jutsu that was superior to the world!
Even if Hashirama died, Konoha could use the power of the Jinchūriki to overthrow the entire shinobi world, conquer the four major countries, and suppress everyone so they wouldn't dare to say a word.
It was a pity that this group of talented people died or scattered in the original sky, and in the end, they ended up no better than the Uchiha, leaving only Karin Uzumaki as a pure-blooded clan member.
But now… Kamihane looked around, the corners of his lips curving into a meaningful smile.
He beckoned the leading man closer, in a casual tone, saying, "Brother, this batch of goods you ordered is the express version. It only took less than a week from ordering to delivery. You suddenly want so many weapons, are you going to war?"
"You're a merchant, why do you care about these things!" A young man immediately spoke out in reprimand.
"Hey, don't be rude!" The man glared at his clansman, he stood in front of Kamihane, "The Land of Iron's Tantōsai is famous overseas. What they do is transnational business, countless intelligence and network resources. Even if they're ordinary merchants, you can't offend them! Where do you think the knives in your hands came from?"
The latter's face froze, and he closed his mouth, no longer saying anything.
The man then looked at Kamihane with a smile on his face. Facing Kamihane's question, he didn't hide anything, and came closer to whisper:
"Seeing as your chamber of commerce is big and has a large business, I'll tell you one more thing…"
"Mm-hmm," Kamihane nodded lightly, looking obedient like a curious baby.
"Recently… someone has their eye on our Uzumaki Clan."
