"But, Father... Isn't the Uzumaki Clan not involved in the First Ninja World War?"
"They are known as a peaceful clan and chose not to interfere in major conflicts."
"They shouldn't be involved in the Second Ninja World War either, right?"
The Third Raikage looked deeply into his son's eyes before speaking.
"That's true, they don't like to fight... but they are not a weak clan."
"Even without participating in wars, they remain a threat to other villages."
A squinted his eyes, still not understanding.
"Recently, the Uzumaki Clan has started to open up."
"They have begun selling various types of Explosive Tags—very advanced and versatile weapons in warfare."
"If they continue to trade them, who can guarantee that they won't start selling sealing techniques as well?"
A began to understand his father's point.
"So, you think Onoki is afraid that the Uzumaki Clan will become more influential and could affect the course of the war in the future?"
The Third Raikage nodded.
"That's not all."
"Onoki might think that if the Uzumaki Clan remains, Konoha will always have a reserve of incredible sealing techniques."
"That means they could continue to control the Bijuu more effectively, create more stable Jinchuriki, and ultimately have a much stronger army than other villages."
A finally understood why Onoki took this bold step.
However, one question still troubled A.
"So, Father... What will we do? Will we participate in the attack?"
The Third Raikage chuckled softly, a sly smile forming on his face.
"We don't need to do anything."
A furrowed his brow.
"What do you mean?"
The Third Raikage leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling for a moment before looking at his son with cunning eyes.
"If the other Kage agree with Onoki's proposal, then three of the five great nations will attack Uzushiogakure."
"If they fail, we won't lose anything."
"But if they succeed... we still won't lose anything."
"On the contrary, we will benefit because one of the strongest clans allied with Konoha will disappear without us having to lift a finger."
A slowly smiled.
"So, we will just wait and see the outcome?"
The Third Raikage nodded.
"Exactly. If they win, the world will change."
"If they lose, Onoki will bear the consequences."
"That's not our concern."
Elsewhere, the other Kage also received letters from Onoki.
None immediately agreed to the proposal, but they all considered it seriously.

Sunagakure – Kazekage's Office.
Inside the Third Kazekage's office, the atmosphere was quiet.
The Third Kazekage sat behind a large desk filled with scrolls of documents.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden desk.
The man's eyes carefully scanned the contents of the letter from Onoki.
"If we attack the Uzumaki Clan, there is a good chance we can acquire many of their Fuinjutsu..." murmured the Third Kazekage.
He closed his eyes, thinking about how difficult it was to control Ichibi.
If Sunagakure had stronger sealing techniques, then controlling the Jinchuriki would be much easier.
However, there was a significant risk.
If Konoha intervened, Sunagakure could lose many shinobi.
The Third Kazekage thought hard.
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes.
"We will participate."
...
...
...
Kirigakure – Mizukage's Office.
Inside the Third Mizukage's office, the room felt damp.
The Mizukage sat with one hand propping up his chin, reading the letter from Onoki with a calculating expression.
"Uzumaki Fuinjutsu... If we can obtain it, then the seals for our Jinchuriki will be stronger."
Kirigakure has two Bijuu.
If they could secure the Uzumaki sealing techniques, they could ensure the village's safety for a very long time.
The Mizukage sighed deeply before finally making a decision.
"Prepare the troops. We will join the attack on Uzushiogakure."
