Chapter 171 : Appeal of Kazuhiko!

Kazuhiko remained silent for a moment, observing as Senju Isamu calmly sipped his tea. He recalled the instructions that might have been given by the Third Hokage to Isamu.

It was imperative for him to convey these directives, as they held the key to making decisions that would impact the Land of the Whirlpool and Konoha, forging a new covenant between the two nations.

Anticipating future requests from the Senju clan, Kazuhiko considered distancing them. 

Nevertheless, Tsunade, his daughter, and potentially his future wife, urged him to seek a compromise.

With these thoughts in mind, Kazuhiko spoke, "We have successfully restructured and traded the tailed beast sealing technique. In the future, other nations will engage in agreements with us, enhancing the application of the seal on individuals from various countries. Konoha, too, will find a suitable new Jinchūriki."

Surprised by this revelation, Senju Isamu, who had given up hope, inquired eagerly, "How can we exchange for your Tailed Beast Sealing Technique?"

Kazuhiko chose not to address this question directly. He understood from Senju Isamu's inquiry that he likely remained unaware that Grandma Mito had bestowed upon him the Summoning Beast contract of the Shikkotsu Forest.

Originally inclined to give it directly to Senju Isamu, Kazuhiko hesitated, not wanting Konoha to gain an easy advantage.

Ultimately, he decided to negotiate, ensuring that he could extract some valuable assets from Konoha.

Presenting a new type of tailed beast sealing technique, Kazuhiko handed it to Senju Isamu, securing a deal. In return, he received the Hundred Healings Mark.

Not previously encountered in the Uzumaki clan's ninjutsu scrolls, Kazuhiko speculated that it was a Senju-developed technique, likely a modified version of Senju Hashirama's Sage Mode. This mark could serve as a formidable power bank, storing Chakra for later use.

Convinced that such a secret technique would play a crucial role in the future development of ninjutsu technology in the Land of the Whirlpool, Kazuhiko exchanged it for the benefit of his people.

Additionally, he acquired another ninjutsu – a telescopic technique developed by Sarutobi Hiruzen for village surveillance. Kazuhiko envisioned its potential as a wireless monitor, suggesting it could be adapted for city surveillance with some modifications by the Uzumaki clan elders.

This is very convenient for the Land of the Whirlpool, a small country.

Therefore, both parties are satisfied with this transaction.

Of course, when Kazuhiko and Senju Isamu exchanged, Kazuhiko also had a serious conversation with the Senju clan head.

"Is it Uncle Isamu or Konoha trading with me? If it's Uncle Isamu, I'm willing to give this seal to my uncle. After all, the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan have always been friendly."

"Our Land of the Whirlpool has always remembered the help of the Senju clan."

"But, if it's the Konoha Shinobi village, I'll go with the normal business."

Unexpectedly, Senju Isamu smiled at the serious Kazuhiko.

"Don't worry, it's Konoha dealing with you; I'm just a representative."

"So, just proceed with your normal business, don't worry about our Senju clan."

Kazuhiko originally thought that this transaction would take a while because it involved Konoha.

Unexpectedly, it ended directly after a short time, and the trade occurred directly between Kazuhiko and Senju Isamu.

This also made Kazuhiko understand.

Konoha needed this new type of tailed beast sealing technique more than he thought.

So, Kazuhiko continued to drink tea with Senju Isamu.

Now, Kazuhiko wanted to take the initiative to raise his request.

He actually wanted to talk directly to the Senju clan about immigration.

However, it's not easy for the Senju clan to immigrate. Even if the clan head agrees, their elders and high-level officials will not.

After all, this ninja village was established by Senju Hashirama, and they have a deep love for it.

Don't experience the harshness from the high-level Konoha, don't get punched and swollen.

This kind of thing is impossible to succeed.

Therefore, Kazuhiko decided to choose a roundabout way and use another method to make the Senju clan emigrate.

For example, marriage!

Let Tsunade marry into the Uzumaki clan, and then take part of the Senju clan to the Land of the Whirlpool.

Kazuhiko thinks this may still be very challenging.

However, Kazuhiko was already sure that if he had to comfort Tsunade, the Senju clan would follow him.

After he came back to his senses and thought about it, Tsunade must have liked him too.

Otherwise, with her temper, the kiss would have resulted in a strange punch.

So now it's up to the Senju clan head.

Kazuhiko has always felt that he is doing a good deed and must know that he invites these Uchiha clan and Senju clan to the Land of the Whirlpool with full sincerity.

He knew that if they stayed in Konoha, there was absolutely no good end for them.

A body perishes, a clan perishes.

A spirit fading away without a trace.

They would never be the same as Konoha. Let the two clans who built Konoha be destroyed by the very village they created.

So, it's better to head to the Land of Whirlpools with Kazuhiko. Kazuhiko promises that they will live well and eat well.

With such boundless love in mind, Kazuhiko has also dedicated himself to forging new alliances in Konoha.

Even if others initially disagree, Kazuhiko helps them, helping them understand the benefits of collaborating.

Therefore, Kazuhiko's efforts to persuade the Senju and Uchiha clans to abandon the old and corrupt Konoha and turn towards the vibrant and dynamic Land of Whirlpools are completely bold and caring.

Yes, that's what Kazuhiko reassures himself in his heart.

Finally, after sipping another cup of tea, Kazuhiko felt a bit full.

So, Kazuhiko spoke up.

"Uncle Isamu, in fact, I came to visit you not only to see you but also to ask you..."

Senju Isamu raised his head, looking curiously at Kazuhiko. Indeed, it was Kazuhiko who came to visit him today.

However, the first thing he noticed was that Kazuhiko took the initiative to speak first, and then he realized that Kazuhiko had other requests.

As for the visiting part, Senju Isamu didn't believe a word of it.

"You've been staying at my place for a few days, living right next to my daughter. You just remembered to visit me now..."

"You and my daughter have been enjoying yourselves these few days... But don't say you didn't have time...Kazuhiko."

Sure enough, Kazuhiko saw Senju Isamu's skeptical gaze. "Ahem... Because of an emergency, I didn't have time to visit... Today just happened to work out..."

After speaking, Kazuhiko returned to his usual self, showing no signs of the previous embarrassment.

This made Senju Isamu couldn't help but say, "Good boy, you've got thick skin."

"Uncle Isamu, let's get back to the other reason I came to visit," Kazuhiko said, pretending not to notice, steering the conversation back.

Kazuhiko looked at Senju Isamu seriously.

"I'm here to ask if the Senju clan has considered leaving Konoha..."
