Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Konoha year 36, autumn.

On the western coast of the Whirlpool Country, three dark shadows came from afar, walking on the waves.

In just a few minutes, the tiny black dot as big as a millet grew into three figures, two men and one woman, and successfully landed.

At the front was a tall young man wearing a black combat uniform. He had a resolute face, healthy wheat-colored skin, long white hair like a lion's mane, and two blood-tear-shaped facial wrinkles hanging down from his eyes.

"Tuk-tuk."

Behind me came the sound of high-heeled ninja boots hitting the ground. It was a tall female ninja.

She has a beautiful face and is charming. The simple white shirt and red skirt highlight her devilish figure. Her long golden hair is combed into natural ponytails, and there is a lavender diamond mark on her fair forehead.

Behind her, followed a young man wearing a Konoha forehead protector.

The boy had neat short hair and a delicate appearance, and was 70% similar to the girl. As soon as he got ashore, he couldn't help but breathe heavily.

Obviously, this journey across the sea was not so easy for him.

But soon, under the blowing of the sea breeze, the fatigue on his face was replaced by full of energy.

"Wow, is this my grandmother's hometown, the Land of Whirlpools?"

The young man looked left and right with curiosity, and the crystal pendant on his chest swayed slightly with the rise and fall of his chest.

"Yes, come to think of it, I have only been here once when I was very young." The woman looked at the vague outline of the village in the distance, her eyes revealing a hint of reminiscence.

Her slightly furrowed brows revealed a hint of worry.

"Sister, don't worry, this is your brother's first mission, he will complete it beautifully!" The boy gave a thumbs up and laughed breathlessly.

"Haha, Sheng Shu, you are worthy of being my disciple."

Jiraiya strode over, rubbed the boy's head with his large palm, and looked at him with eyes full of relief.

Tsunade was speechless as she looked at the master and disciple who were grinning with their 24 big white teeth showing at the same time.

Three days ago, Uzumaki Mito had a premonition that her end was near. As the only Jinchūriki in Konoha Village, she was worried that if she lost her restraints, the tailed beast in her body would go completely out of control, so she had to announce this helpless fact.

After learning the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered all the senior executives overnight and held an emergency meeting. Konoha Village needed a new Jinchūriki.

No one knows the seriousness of this matter better than him, the Hokage, because there is more than just one Seven-Tails sealed in Uzumaki Mito's body!

In the war that year, Konoha and Kumogakure mobilized almost all of their forces, mediating between the two fronts. Both sides tried their best, and in order to avoid a mutual destruction, they ended up with peace talks.

As a condition for releasing Kinkaku and allowing him to return to the village, Konoha detained the two-tailed beast of Kumogakure for 30 years as a constraint to ensure that the two countries would not commit any crime during the signing of the treaty.

In response to the equally violent Two-Tails, Konoha could only use force to suppress it, because they could not find a more suitable Jinchūriki other than the Uzumaki clan, which consumed a lot of manpower and resources.

This was originally a clever move to threaten Yunyin, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.

When many Konoha villagers learned that there was a tailed beast imprisoned in the village, they became panic-stricken and complained.

The pressure soon fell on the top management.

In Konoha back then, the Second Hokage was assassinated not long ago, and the entire high-level leadership was in a state of disarray, so they had to push forward a scapegoat.

That is Danzo who advocated the detention of the Two-Tail.

Danzo quickly came up with a solution, but this solution was not intended to solve the problem.

He controlled public opinion and spread the word that the death of the Second Hokage was related to Uchiha Kagami, in order to divert people's attention. At the same time, he instigated Sarutobi Hiruzen to go to the Uzumaki Shrine to complain and vent his grievances, making the water even more muddy.

In desperation, Uzumaki Mito, as the mistress of Konoha, had to take action again. Relying on her superb sealing techniques and strong physique, she forcibly sealed the Two-Tails into her body again.

That day, she almost used up all of her chakra, and the moment the seal was completed, she completely fainted.

In the past, there was only one Seven-Tails in her body. Not only was she able to suppress it, she was also able to extract the tailed beast's chakra through sealing techniques, and thus control the power of the Seven-Tails.

Things are different now. There is an extra two tails now. She needs to stabilize the seal while separating the two to prevent them from affecting each other. This requires her to spend a considerable amount of time repairing the technique, so she can only concentrate on seclusion and ignore worldly affairs.

By the way, it was during this period that Uchiha Kagami became infamous and was forced to death by his superiors.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. Three months later, Uzumaki Mito finally balanced the power of the two tailed beasts in her body. In order to ensure that they would not run away easily, she personally set up a five-layer whirlpool barrier with the Uzumaki Shrine as the center, suppressing the tailed beasts in her body. From then on, she lived in seclusion and restrained herself.

Her self-sacrifice brought 22 years of peace to Konoha Village.

Mito is now nearly 70 years old. Although she is a member of the long-lived Uzumaki clan, sealing two tailed beasts at the same time has rapidly burned out her vitality, and today, her life span is almost over.

The long period of comfort caused the top management to ignore the risks of the tailed beasts, and it was not until today that the alarm bells were sounded.

At the meeting, everyone first shirked responsibility, and after some wrangling, they began to propose and vote, and finally unanimously decided:

Go to the Whirlpool Country and ask the Uzumaki clan for help.

As everyone knows, Konoha Village and Uzushio Village are allies, and the Senju and Uzumaki have been friends for generations. Logically speaking, in such a critical moment, they must help each other.

But Hiruzen, the Hokage, had doubts in his heart.

A few years ago, a spies from the Anbu sent back a secret intelligence that Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure seemed to have launched an operation against the Uzumaki clan. Because the confidentiality level was too high, even the spies were not clear about their exact purpose. They only knew that even the Kage had been dispatched.

Those who took action were all from the Great Ninja Village who possessed the Tailed Beasts. The experienced Hiruzen vaguely guessed what this group of people were going to do, and couldn't help but be shocked.

He immediately convened a secret meeting and proposed the idea of ​​protecting the Uzumaki clan, but it was quickly rejected by Danzo and other senior officials.

After the last Ninja World War, Konoha Village has become enemies with Kumogakure. If they take action to protect the Uzumaki clan at this moment, they will be openly standing on the opposite side of the other three major ninja villages, and they will be enemies everywhere, which is unwise.

Moreover, since the other party has already sent out the shadow, it would be even more difficult to intervene. Once a fight breaks out, it would easily lead to a war.

Konoha at that time could not withstand the turmoil.

The top leaders debated for a long time, and finally, at Hiruzen's insistence, they sent a small team to the Land of Whirlpools in secret, trying to rescue a few Uzumaki people in the chaos.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, news came from across the sea that the Uzumaki clan was attacked, but the losses were not heavy. Instead, there was no news from the team sent by Hiruzen.

This incident confused Hiruzen for a while.

Could it be that the Uzumaki clan’s strength has reached this level?
