บท 26: Chapter 26
Talent and hard work are valuable qualities, but having a good father is even more advantageous.
When a Clan is facing decline, it becomes crucial to work hard in order to restore its former glory. A good Ancestor is essential during such times.
The Uzumaki Clan possesses talented individuals who are willing to put in the effort, and they are fortunate to have a good father. The Clan's decline is not as severe as others, and it remains stronger than most Shinōbi Clans.
The presence of another exceptional Ancestor is the key to their situation.
Ebizo's admiration is not solely his own, but a sentiment shared by all Suna Shinōbi hosting the Uzumaki Clan.
"It truly is an enviable Clan."
As the communication with the Uzumaki Clan deepens, this phrase continues to resonate in the minds of the Suna Shinōbi.
Several days have passed, and after reorganizing and resting at the port, Ebizo assembled a group to protect the Uzumaki Clan as they journeyed towards Sunagakure. Due to the presence of women and children, their pace was not particularly fast.
Suna Shinōbi began engaging in conversations with the Uzumaki Clan along the way.
Meanwhile, at the port, Uzumaki Akisawa, Uzumaki Homura, and the Uzumaki Clan Shinōbi devoted themselves to studying Medical-Ninjutsu. In their free time, they shared their knowledge with the women and children, encouraging them to develop their skills and broaden their understanding.
After tapping into their Chakra, the children of the Uzumaki Clan quickly matured. At the very least, they became capable of performing a few basic Ninjutsu techniques.
Under the influence of their surroundings, every child possessed a good Sealing Jutsu.
This is both an enviable and frustrating situation, and it is something only a Great Clan can achieve.
Unlike other Shinōbi Villages, Sunagakure lacks a Great Clan. Many of its Shinōbi are common players who rely on Ninjutsu obtained through exchanges with other Ninja Villages. These exchangeable Ninjutsu are all collected and regulated by the First Kazekage.
Fortunately, I have a good father who has developed a unique Ninjutsu and passed it down to me.
Uzumaki Akisawa and Uzumaki Homura are aware that the Suna Shinōbi may feel jealous, so they made it clear in advance, informing the children that they are free to share their knowledge with anyone.
The knowledge they possess regarding Sealing Jutsu is specifically designed for children, after all.
If they can gain the favor of the Suna Shinōbi through this exchange, it would be beneficial for both parties.
"Elder-sama, don't you find this concerning?" Yasuke whispered to Ebizo.
The upper echelons of the Suna Shinōbi are not fools; they can see the subtle movements of the Uzumaki Clan.
"How should we handle it? One party is willing to give, the other is willing to learn. There's no need for management. In fact, it helps promote basic education," Ebizo chuckled, dismissing any concerns.
He does not see this as a significant issue. These are mere trivial matters and not something to conspire over.
Their commitment to the education and well-being of Suna Shinōbi is still intact.
If they were to react strongly over every minor incident, it would reflect poorly on their status as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Throughout the history of the Hokage, most of those who held the village leadership were from the Great Clans. At the very least, they had inherited valuable legacies.
As for the so-called persecution within the Ninja Village, it is primarily aimed at lower-ranking Shinōbi who lack notable lineages.
"Yasuke, there are still many lessons for you to learn. Remember, your comrades and even your own brother cannot always be trusted. A single misstep could lead you to your demise," Ebizo said to Yasuke with a meaningful tone.
"Yes, Elder-sama, I understand," Yasuke responded, feeling a cold shiver run down his spine as he realized his mistake.
At the same time, he understood why Hitoshi had instructed him to heed Ebizo's words before their departure.
Meanwhile, Uzumaki Akisawa and Uzumaki Homura were engaged in a conversation elsewhere.
"Akisawa, we should be cautious. Sunagakure deserves its reputation as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Our expectations should align with reality," Uzumaki Akisawa said emotionally.
"If we are to be cautious, then perhaps we should share some of our high-level Sealing Jutsu. We can also impart knowledge about lower-level Sealing Jutsu," Uzumaki Homura responded with impatience.
He didn't appreciate this kind of temptation. The straightforwardness inherent in the Uzumaki Clan influenced his distaste for such tactics.
"Yes, we can hand it over to them, just like our vote of confidence," Uzumaki Akisawa sighed, expressing his helplessness.
He understood the need for transparency, but he had no choice. When carrying the hopes of the entire clan on one's back, one would make the same decision.
In the following days, Sunagakure sent its finest men and women to take care of Uzumaki Clan, providing them with excellent welfare.
The Shinōbi from Uzumaki Clan explained the basics of Sealing Jutsu in great detail, offering them a few intermediate-level and even a handful of advanced-level techniques.
However, Sealing Jutsu capable of sealing Biju, such as the Four-Tetragram Seal and Eight-Sign Seal, were limited within the Uzumaki Clan itself.
In the Kazekage building of Sunagakure, Hitoshi and Chiyo sat facing each other.
"Chiyo Elder-sama, are you moving too fast? It's only been a few days, and you've already analyzed the properties of the Cactus in such detail," Hitoshi expressed his mixed feelings, unsure whether to be happy or sad. It seemed that his comrades were pushing themselves too hard and neglecting their well-being.
"We have to move fast. Every step we take is for the betterment of Sunagakure. It's all about being prepared for a rainy day, isn't that what you've always advocated?" Chiyo responded with a smile. As an elder who had experienced troubled times and gained wisdom through life, her greatest wish was to see Sunagakure thrive with future generations.
Being a member of the higher echelons of Sunagakure, she witnessed the city's growth and couldn't contain her excitement.
They used to rely on numerous missions and grants from the Daimyo of Kaze no Kuni.
Now, they could sustain themselves and live prosperously.
They purchased grain from Konoha and also cultivated their own crops.
Each Great Clan Shinōbi, along with commoner Shinōbi, contributed to the development of various technologies and opened diverse businesses.
A significant influx of businessmen poured into Sunagakure, driving economic growth.
They could now support themselves and enjoy a more comfortable daily life.
"Yes, I heard that your daughter-in-law opened a toy store selling all kinds of small toys," Hitoshi smiled, changing the subject.
"Yes, since retiring, my son has been transferred to the research department, and my daughter-in-law takes care of Sasori at home. When she was feeling bored, she had a spontaneous idea to make simple toys for Sasori and decided to sell them. Surprisingly, the response has been quite good," Chiyo chuckled in response. Her son, daughter-in-law, and little grandson now have more smiles on their faces, bringing her great joy.
"Haha, we have you to thank for that. If it weren't for your daughter-in-law taking the initiative to open the store and start making money, those Elders would have been too hesitant to do so," Hitoshi remarked with a slight hint of mockery.
The Elders had prepared themselves one by one, but they were reluctant to take the first step, fearing their products wouldn't sell. However, Chiyo's daughter-in-law took the lead, and soon others followed suit like hungry wolves. As a result, Sunagakure experienced a sudden surge in prosperity.
The Shinōbi who had accumulated wealth from missions and had nowhere to spend it quickly found outlets for their earnings. The taxes collected by Sunagakure also became quite substantial.
