After the Warring States Period ended, the Great Nations successively established Shinobi Villages, implementing the policy of 'One Village per Nation'. Among these, the five most powerful nations – the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Earth – each established the most powerful of the Five Great Hidden Villages.
The First Great Shinobi War was slowly drawing to a close, yet the entire Shinobi world remained unsettled.
The Land of Uzumaki, a small island nation adjacent to the Land of Fire, was small in territory, surrounded by sea, with a sparse population and weakening power. It was a small nation unlikely to survive the war. At this moment, the nation was in a state of gloom.
"Satori-sama, the Daimyo requests you return quickly," a shinobi said respectfully to the red-haired child beside him, who was about seven years old. "Recently, the Land of Uzumaki hasn't been very safe."
"Okay." Uzumaki Satori's young face furrowed slightly. He nodded and said, "I'll return shortly. Please tell my father not to worry."
"But..." The attendant, unsettled, wanted to say something more, but Uzumaki Satori interrupted him.
"Don't worry, I'll just stay within Uzushiogakure," Uzumaki Satori waved his hand, indicating he wouldn't wander far. Besides, the entire small island wasn't very large; aside from the small area where the clan and citizens lived, the rest was wilderness. It was the same wherever he went.
Finally, the attendant could only nod reluctantly, arranging for someone else to inform the Daimyo.
Uzumaki Satori watched the nation, which had once been quiet and peaceful, gradually become shrouded in an atmosphere of silence.
However, beneath this somber atmosphere, the citizens' eyes still held hope.
This was because they knew their allies, friends forged through ancient times – Konohagakure.
They were certain Konohagakure would come to help them. After all, the Konoha emblem even had their Uzushiogakure spiral on it! What was that if not a symbol of friendship?! How could Konoha not help? As long as Konoha came to their aid, they wouldn't be in trouble, because...
...Konoha was incredibly strong. With the war nearly over, everyone could see that Konoha was the victor. A mere loser like Kirigakure would be annihilated within minutes if they were encircled by both their village and Konoha.
However...
They didn't know that this time, when the Head of the Uzumaki Clan went to seek Konoha's help, he would return with a refusal. The entire Land of Uzumaki would be annihilated, the Uzumaki clan becoming refugees of a fallen nation, forced to wander the Shinobi world and endure a tragic life...
Ultimately...
Essentially, the pure-blooded Uzumaki clan could be considered extinct. The line of red-haired Uzumaki was effectively ended, replaced, as it were, by blond.
Uzumaki Satori gazed sadly around Uzushiogakure. As a transmigrator, not only did he fail to arrive in Konoha, and not only did he lack a 'golden finger' [system], but he actually transmigrated to the Land of Uzumaki, which was about to be destroyed. He was truly heartbroken! Especially since he was the son of the Land of Uzumaki's Daimyo, the one who would inherit the nation. The thought of just watching Uzushio perish and becoming an orphan in Konoha was absolutely impossible.
Furthermore, with the entire Uzumaki clan facing extinction, he absolutely didn't believe Konoha wasn't secretly involved.
It could be said that ever since Uzumaki Mito successfully became a Jinchuriki, the entire Uzumaki clan's fate had become precarious. Konoha absolutely didn't want to see other villages acquire Jinchuriki.
Konoha only needed one Uzumaki clan member.
While other nations established a 'One Nation, One Village' policy, the Land of Uzumaki was unique in being 'One Clan, One Nation' (essentially). Yet, it was still destroyed by Kirigakure. Bear in mind, the entire Land of Uzumaki had only one clan, the Uzumaki clan. The Daimyo of the Land of Uzumaki was also from the Uzumaki clan. The combined strength of the entire nation and the entire Uzumaki clan couldn't even stop Kirigakure.
As for who was secretly behind this... Uzumaki Satori could only chuckle coldly!
On the other hand, perhaps this was also caused by the Uzumaki clan's personality. The Uzumaki clan was kind, honest, stubborn, but also short-tempered. They tended to charge in headfirst without thinking. Maybe this was the reason they didn't utilize their own advantage – their geographical location – when confronting Kirigakure. Perhaps they were easily provoked by a few taunts and charged in recklessly, otherwise how could they have been destroyed on their own territory?
After all, the Uzumaki clan was a long-lived clan, an ancient lineage passed down through history! Without any accidents, they could likely live to be well over a hundred. So, the Uzumaki clan undoubtedly had a deep foundation and many strong elders from the older generation. Yet, they were still defeated and destroyed on their own ground.
It was truly...
"Satori-oniichan." Just as Uzumaki Satori was pondering how to save the nation, a cute voice came from behind him. Uzumaki Satori's face softened into a smile. "Kushina! What's wrong?"
He looked at the red-haired, cute little girl of about five or six who walked towards him. Uzumaki Satori gently ruffled her hair. "Why the unhappy face? Did someone bully you?" The girl before him was Uzumaki Kushina, the future mother of the Child of Prophecy, also known as the Red-Hot Habanero. But right now, she was just a cute little girl. Uzumaki Satori guessed that her later explosive temper in Konoha was a form of self-protection, after witnessing her own nation's destruction firsthand and being mocked and bullied by other students at the Academy.
"Papa is back, but he won't talk to me," Kushina said with an unhappy pout. "He seems very angry."
Hearing Kushina's words, Uzumaki Satori paused, then sighed deeply with melancholy. It seemed history hadn't changed after all. He looked at the Kushina before him with pity. Although she would later meet a loving man and become the Hokage's wife, she would meet her end before truly getting to enjoy life as the village leader's wife.
Furthermore, ever since she became the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, she had been virtually imprisoned by Konoha, bullied and mocked by the villagers. And during childbirth, she was even attacked. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Uzumaki Satori's eyes. 'Damn it!' he thought. 'Don't let me survive this crisis. As long as the Land of Uzumaki endures, I will begin developing our national strength. By then, if Konoha ever speaks of their ancient, friendly alliance with the Land of Uzumaki again, I'll spit in the Third Hokage's face within minutes!'
"Maybe Clan Head Uncle had something upsetting happen," Uzumaki Satori said soothingly, ruffling Kushina's little head. "He didn't ignore you on purpose."
"Really?" Kushina looked up at Uzumaki Satori with hopeful eyes.
Seeing this, Uzumaki Satori smiled. 'Still a child,' he thought, 'always craving parental attention.' He said, "Of course, Kushina is so cute."
Hearing Uzumaki Satori's words, Kushina's entire face turned red, and she shyly lowered her head.
Are kids nowadays so precocious?
"Right, where are Clan Head Uncle and the others now?" Uzumaki Satori asked. He couldn't let things continue like this. If they did, the Land of Uzumaki would truly be destroyed, its territory eventually becoming a nation with virtually no shinobi – the Land of Waves!
Furthermore, as a transmigrator and the heir to a nation, to be beaten and forced to wander the Shinobi world, or even killed, before even getting to exploit the people and be surrounded by wives and concubines – that would be too pitiful, truly disgraceful!
This is forcing me to conquer the Shinobi world!
Uzumaki Satori sighed internally. But he had no power right now! Even if he was a genius, limited by his age, his current strength was only that of a Chunin. And his System... wasn't working. He had transmigrated automatically, and as a child, he discovered he had a System. He thought his life's peak had arrived! He set a goal for himself: dominate the Shinobi world by seven, beat the Six Paths into submission. But the result was...
...The System wouldn't even start!
Now, he couldn't even add points. How could a transmigrator like him become the God of Shinobi and conquer the Shinobi world at the age of seven?!
"In, in the meeting room," Kushina said, still red-faced and looking down. "It seems they're notifying the elders for a meeting."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Satori frowned in thought. It seemed they were preparing for war. He turned to Kushina and said, "Oniichan needs to see Clan Head Uncle about something. I'll play with you next time." He absolutely wouldn't allow the Uzumaki clan to be destroyed, nor his people to become refugees of a fallen nation. And Kushina...
...She would live happily here in the Land of Uzumaki.
"Okay!" Hearing that Satori-oniichan had something important to do and couldn't play with her, Kushina was a little disappointed, but she still nodded. Though small, she was very sensible. Seeing that Satori-oniichan didn't have his usual smile, she knew he really had something important to attend to.
...
"Damn Konoha! How could they do this!"
