The Uzumaki Clan, as descendants of Asura, have scarlet red hair that symbolizes vigorous vitality.
Due to their Sage Body, they are naturally endowed with Chakra reserves far surpassing ordinary people. Coupled with their special constitution and Sealing Techniques, adult Uzumaki Clan Ninja can easily suppress Tailed Beasts.
It is said that the stronger their talent, the more vibrant the color of their hair.
Shin'yu, with Nen, had already arrived at the entrance of the Hidden Whirlpool Village. Looking at the vibrant red hair that resembled elves, he couldn't help but reveal a look of interest.
"Halt, who are you!"
The guard at the village entrance immediately looked vigilant. With a wave of his hand, three to five Uzumaki Clan Ninja immediately surrounded them, both male and female. According to the evaluation standards of ordinary Ninja, their Chakra fluctuations were all at the Jonin level.
Normally, a head of red hair in a crowd would be quite eye-catching, but now, the uncle and nephew stood among a group of beautiful redheads, and their two heads of black hair became quite conspicuous.
"Don't be nervous, we're here to deliver goods." Shin'yu pushed up his sunglasses and smiled as he took out the credentials and handed them to the leading man.
The man quickly scanned them, and the muscles in his face immediately relaxed. The tension from before was gone, and even his tone softened a lot.
"So you're friends of Forging Blades Workshop. I wonder if the batch of swords we ordered has been completed?"
"Of course." Shin'yu's lips curled up, and he gestured forward.
Nen immediately understood and took out a Storage Scroll from his pocket. He kept a straight face, looking cool.
"The goods are all here."
Everyone immediately made way, and the leading man's face was full of smiles. "Please come in."
A gust of breeze blew past, the village gate opened wide, and even the air flow became much lighter.
Shin'yu stepped in with Nen, glancing around with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
From a distance, he sensed that the entire Hidden Whirlpool Village was enveloped by a powerful Barrier, completely transparent, hidden in the air, invisible yet tangible, and of a very high level.
Apart from a powerful breakthrough, Shin'yu couldn't think of any way to crack the Barrier.
Strange, with such a strong Barrier, how exactly was the Uzumaki Clan destroyed in the original timeline?
He thought for a moment, and two vague guesses immediately emerged in his mind:
The first possibility was that there was an internal traitor within the Uzumaki Clan. Some profit-driven clansmen were bought off by ambitious individuals, and with inside and outside cooperation, the huge Barrier naturally collapsed from within.
The second possibility was that the people who attacked the Land of Whirlpools that night were exceptionally powerful, and their numbers were beyond imagination, comparable to the vanguard of a war. They conquered cities and seized territories all the way, and no matter how strong your Barrier was, it was still a lone palm, a turtle in a jar.
The reason for the Uzumaki Clan's destruction in the original timeline was actually very simple. After Shin'yu personally experienced these years in the Shinobi World, he had many more ideas in his mind.
On the surface, the Uzumaki Clan was destroyed because their Sealing Techniques were too powerful, causing jealousy. In the end, the major countries colluded in secret and attacked them together, which led to their demise.
But who was jealous?
As everyone knows, the Uzumaki Clan is proficient in Sealing Techniques and can even suppress violent Tailed Beasts, so some Shinobi Villages with Tailed Beasts are very suspicious.
What are Tailed Beasts? For normal Ninja, they are natural disasters, endless Chakra, a strong desire for destruction, and a mountain-like body full of oppression. A single Tailed Beast Ball can blow up half a Shinobi Village, a terrifying existence that countless people talk about with fear.
Just imagine, if this monster could be made controllable, sealed into the human body, allowing humans to use the Tailed Beast's Chakra and exert terrifying power, wouldn't that be creating Kage-level powerhouses out of thin air? That would be like walking human-shaped nuclear weapons!
With this idea in mind, the Jinchuriki was born.
But initially, everyone's sealing was unstable. No one could produce a mature technique. The Tailed Beasts' emotions easily infected the Jinchuriki. Once they went berserk, their own Ninja village would be the first to bear the brunt, facing devastating blows.
Whether it was the resource-poor, isolated Hidden Sand Village;
Or the Hidden Stone Village, whose sealing strength was too strong, causing the Jinchuriki to be unable to exert the full power of the Tailed Beasts;
Or the Hidden Mist Village, which left everything to fate, whether they could become a perfect Jinchuriki depended entirely on individual destiny;
Or the Hidden Cloud Village, whose sealing technique was immature, and the Tailed Beasts were extremely prone to rampage, they all faced the same predicament.
Perhaps, for them at this time, the Tailed Beasts were not a gift, but more like a ticking time bomb, ready to blow them to pieces at any time.
At this moment, in the original timeline's Hidden Leaf Village, a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki appeared—Uzumaki Mito.
Not to mention that she used her strong physique and Sealing Technique to subdue the strongest Nine-Tails, just the fact that she had never gone berserk in her life was enough to make her stand out from the crowd and rub the faces of the other Four Great Shinobi Villages on the ground.
A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be felled by the wind.
Everyone is in the starting stage, and it is difficult to even run two kilometers. Why can you already fly into the sky?
As long as the Uzumaki Clan exists, doesn't your Hidden Leaf have countless stable Jinchuriki candidates?
How could this be allowed? If I can't handle your Hidden Leaf, can't I handle your small Hidden Whirlpool Village?
Thus, a vigorous plan to exterminate the clan was quietly brewing.
In the original timeline, the timing of the Uzumaki Clan's extermination was very subtle, just a few years before the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War. At that time, Hidden Leaf was in a period of transition, with a shortage of talents.
The Second Hokage died, Uzumaki Mito was dying of old age, the Silver Generation's Three Ninja, Sakumo Hatake and others had not yet been able to stand alone, and only Sarutobi Hiruzen could be brought out to act as a facade... Looking at the entire Hidden Leaf Village, you could hardly find a few Ninja who could really fight.
In Shin'yu's view, the real culprit who harmed the Uzumaki Clan was actually the Land of Whirlpools' greatest reliance—Hashirama Senju.
Shin'yu'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 companions, but he still had to personally distribute weapons to potential threats, which only increased hidden dangers!
Counting the relationship with the Uzumaki Clan, Hidden Leaf completely had the strength and foundation to bring all Nine Tailed Beasts into its possession at the same time, and create Nine Jinchuriki with its world-leading Sealing Technique!
Even if Hashirama died, Hidden Leaf would rely on the power of the Jinchuriki to overthrow the entire Shinobi World, subdue the Four Great Nations, and suppress everyone so that they would not dare to speak.
It's a pity that this group of talented clansmen eventually died or scattered in the original timeline, and in the end, they ended up no better than the Uchiha, leaving only Uzumaki Karin as a pure-blooded clansman.
But now... Shin'yu looked around and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
He beckoned the leading man to come closer, in a casual tone, and said, "Brother, this batch of goods you want is the express version. It took less than a week from ordering to delivery. You suddenly want so many weapons, are you going to war?"
"What's it to you, a merchant!" A young man immediately scolded.
"Hey, don't be rude!" The man glared at his clansman, stood in front of Shin'yu, "Land of Iron's Forging Blades Workshop is famous overseas. What they do is all multinational business, with countless intelligence and network resources. Even if he is an ordinary merchant, he can't be offended! Where do you think the knives in your hands came from?"
The latter's face froze, and he closed his mouth in embarrassment, no longer saying anything.
The man then looked at Shin'yu with a smile, and he did not hide his meaning when facing Shin'yu's question, and leaned over and said in a low voice:
"Considering that your Merchant Guild is a big business, I'll tell you one more thing..."
"Yes, yes." Shin'yu nodded lightly, his obedient appearance like a curious baby.
"Recently... someone has been eyeing our Uzumaki Clan."
