Chapter 1: The Nation is About to Perish—What Should We Do?

Following the end of the Warring States Period, the major powers established Ninja Villages, implementing a policy of one village per nation. Among them, 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 founded their own formidable Five Great Shinobi Villages.

As the First Great Shinobi War slowly drew to a close, the Ninja World remained far from peaceful.

The Land of Whirlpools, a small island nation bordering the Land of Fire, was a weak country with limited territory, surrounded by sea, and a dwindling population. It was a nation unlikely to survive another war, and at this moment, it was in a state of decline.

"Prince Satori, the Daimyo has ordered you to return immediately," a ninja said respectfully to the red-haired boy, who appeared to be around seven years old. "The Land of Whirlpools is no longer safe."

"Hmm," Uzumaki Satori frowned slightly, his youthful face creasing with concern. He nodded and replied, "I'll return shortly. Please tell my father not to worry."

"But..." The guard hesitated, wanting to voice his concerns, but Satori cut him off.

"Don't worry, I'll stay within Whirlpool Village," Uzumaki Satori said, waving his hand to reassure them. The island wasn't large, and aside from the small area where the clan and villagers lived, the rest was wild mountains and forests. Going anywhere else would be the same.

Reluctantly, the guard nodded and instructed his subordinates to inform the Daimyo.

Uzumaki Satori watched as a heavy silence gradually settled over the once peaceful and harmonious land.

Yet, even in this somber atmosphere, hope still flickered in the eyes of the villagers.

They knew their oldest ally, the Konoha Ninja Village, would surely come to their aid. After all, the Uzumaki whirlpool symbol adorned Konoha's emblem—a symbol of their enduring friendship. How could Konoha possibly abandon them? With Konoha's support, they would be safe.

Konoha was incredibly strong. The war was nearing its end, and it was clear they had emerged victorious. The defeated Kirigakure Ninja Village would be crushed in an instant by a joint assault from Konoha and Whirlpool Village.

But...

Unbeknownst to them, when the Clan Head of the Uzumaki Clan sought aid from Konoha, he would return empty-handed. The Land of Whirlpools would be destroyed, and the Uzumaki Clan would become stateless refugees, forced to wander the Ninja World and endure a tragic existence.

In the end...

The pure-blooded Uzumaki Clan would essentially be wiped out. The red-haired Uzumaki would be forcibly transformed into blondes.

Uzumaki Satori gazed wistfully at Whirlpool Village. As a transmigrator, he hadn't been reborn in Konoha, nor had he received any cheat-like advantages. Instead, he found himself in the Land of Whirlpools, destined for destruction. He was deeply disheartened, especially since he was the son of the Land of Whirlpools Daimyo, the future ruler of the nation. To stand idly by as his homeland fell and then flee to Konoha as an orphan was utterly unthinkable.

Moreover, he refused to believe that the annihilation of the Uzumaki Clan could have occurred without Konoha's hidden hand.

It could be said that when Uzumaki Mito successfully became a Jinchūriki, the entire Uzumaki Clan's fate was sealed. Konoha would never tolerate another Ninja Village possessing a Jinchūriki.

For Konoha, one Uzumaki was enough.

While other nations adopted a policy of one village per country, the Land of Whirlpools was a single village that constituted the entire nation. Yet even this unified land was destroyed by Kirigakure. The Land of Whirlpools was ruled by the Uzumaki Clan, and the Daimyo himself was an Uzumaki. Despite uniting the entire clan and the nation's resources, they couldn't withstand Kirigakure's assault.

Who was pulling the strings behind this...?

Uzumaki Satori could only chuckle bitterly.

On the other hand, this outcome likely stemmed from the Uzumaki Clan's own nature. They were kind, honest, and straightforward, but also hot-tempered, prone to reckless action without thinking. Perhaps this flaw led them to squander their natural advantages and strategic position. Instead of using their strengths to defend against Kirigakure, they were easily provoked by taunts and jeers, charging blindly into battle. How else could they have allowed their homeland to be conquered?

The Uzumaki Clan was renowned for its longevity, an ancient lineage stretching back centuries. Without misfortune, most members could live well past a hundred years. With such deep roots and a wealth of experienced elders, how could they have allowed their land and clan to be destroyed on their own territory?

It was truly...

"Satori-gege," a sweet voice called from behind as Uzumaki Satori pondered how to save his country. A faint smile appeared on his face as he turned around. "Kushina! What's wrong?"

A cute little girl with red hair, around five or six years old, approached him. Satori ruffled her hair. "Why the long face? Did someone bully you?" This was Uzumaki Kushina, the future mother of the child of prophecy, also known as the Red-Hot Habanero. But for now, she was just an adorable little girl. Satori suspected that her fiery temper in Konoha was a defense mechanism, born from witnessing the fall of her homeland and enduring ridicule and bullying at the academy.

"Papa's back, but he's ignoring me," Kushina pouted, her lips pressed into a pout. "He seems really angry."

Satori paused, then sighed wistfully. So history remains unchanged after all. He looked at Kushina with pity. Though she would later find a loving husband and become the Hokage's wife, she wouldn't even get to enjoy her position as the leader's wife before her life was cut short.

Ever since becoming the Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki, Kushina had been effectively imprisoned by Konoha, subjected to bullying and ridicule by the villagers. Even during childbirth, someone had sabotaged her. Recalling this, a cold glint flashed in Uzumaki Satori's eyes. Damn it all! If he survived this ordeal and the Land of Whirlpools endured, he would dedicate himself to strengthening their nation. When Konoha inevitably came crawling back, claiming their historical friendship, he'd spit in the Third Hokage's face without hesitation.

"Maybe the Clan Head is just having a bad day," Satori said, gently patting Kushina's head. "It's not that he's ignoring you on purpose."

"Really?" Kushina looked up at him, her eyes filled with hope.

Seeing her eagerness, Satori smiled. Still just a child, he thought, yearning for parental attention. "Of course," he said. "Kushina is so adorable."

Kushina's cheeks flushed crimson at his words, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Are all kids this precocious these days?

"By the way, where are the Clan Head and the others now?" Uzumaki Satori asked. He couldn't let things continue like this. If they did, the Land of Whirlpools would likely fall, its territory reduced to a nation with barely any ninja—the Land of Waves!

As a transmigrator and the heir to a nation, it would be pathetic to be beaten into exile in the Ninja World, or even killed, before he could even start enjoying the perks of power. It would be utterly humiliating!

This is forcing me to crush the Ninja World!

Uzumaki Satori sighed inwardly. But he lacked the strength to do so. Even as a prodigy, his youth limited him to mid-level chunin status. Even the System... Ugh— it wouldn't activate. He'd transmigrated automatically, discovered the System as a child, and thought his life's peak had arrived. He'd set a goal: to crush the Ninja World by age seven and beat down the Six Paths. But...

The System wouldn't activate!

Now he couldn't even allocate attribute points. How was a transmigrator supposed to become the God of the Ninja World and dominate it by the age of seven?

"He's... he's in the conference room," Kushina said, still blushing and looking down. "It seems he's informing the Clan Elders about a meeting."

Hearing this, Uzumaki Satori frowned in thought. It seemed war preparations were necessary. He turned to Kushina and said, "Your brother has business with the Clan Head. I'll play with you next time." He absolutely wouldn't allow the Uzumaki Clan to be destroyed, nor would he let his people become slaves to foreign kingdoms. As for Kushina...

She would live happily in the Land of Whirlpools.

"Okay!" Kushina replied, though a hint of disappointment lingered in her voice. Despite her young age, she was perceptive. Noticing Satori's usual cheerful demeanor was absent, she understood he had serious matters to attend to.

...

"Damn Konoha! How could they do this?!"
