In the Uzukage's office.
The Uzukage was reading the letter from konoha.
His eyes were frowning and he was not having a good day.
The letter was requesting a delegation that was coming to Uzuzshio. It was the hokage coming to the village.
He had a lot of problems with the Hokage coming here.
But he had to be more magnanimous and a good leader. He had to welcome the Hokage in a good manner that was befitting of his tittle.
The letter said that he will be coming in a week. So he had to prepare for the upcoming delegation of the Hokage.
He first had to send ninjas to escort him here as they normally do. He also had to hide the village's increasingly ninjas. Although it doesn't bring any problems if the hokage knew or not but he had to be extra cautious.
After all he can't hide a village full of ninjas because the hokage is kage level ninja who can sense the chakras of the entire village besides the Uzumaki clan has huge chakras that is very difficult to hide.
So he had to order few chakra suppression seals to be put on many people to make him seem like there are many civilians in the village.
The chakra suppression seals will be put on the most important people that is unknown to the outside world.
The interesting thing he had to do was to ban me from coming to the village while the Hokage was in the village.
He also announced to the village that there will be important guests that will be coming in the next few days so they had to minimise their normal activities.
Everybody was commanded on few things that would be uphelded in the next few days.
Also almost ninety five percent of the people were give the chakra suppression seal to put on when the guests arrive in the next few days and they followed the command.
Meantime in the Uzukage's Office there was a meeting taking place with the elders.
The first elder who seemed to be in good mood said " The Hokage is visiting us for obvious reasons and he expects us to go along with his antics, so this meeting is about whether we give one of people as a vessel for the Nine-Tails tailed beast, this was already conveyed to us but the Uzukage denied his request so he will be coming here personally " while not caring much of what he said.
The third elder said " he will be just coming for a Jinchuriki, he will be also coming as a spy to observe and find out why the Uzumaki clan stopped going out often and outside activities " while obviously not happy.
The second elder also added " He knows if he sends others or send a letter again, he will be denied so he came here personally. This will save us some face and him. It's also a form of pressure " he murmered.
The Uzukage said " Yes, his visit will be a multifaced purpose and he will be also looking for the Uzumaki clan's attitude towards konoha. Him personally visiting will make the situation awkward and hard to refuse his request " while sighting.
The fourth elder said " He is a cunning guy in our previous knowledge of him so him coming here personally may as well be one of his plots and hidden agenda that we do not know of " while frowning and others nodded in agreement.
The first elder said " Uzukage sama, did you already decided what will be your decision is in your upcoming meeting with him " while looking at the Uzukage.
The Uzukage stayed silent for few moments while thinking and said " Yeah I have been preparing this for a while and I still haven't made the decision regarding this situation and I will soon made decision perhaps after this meeting or in the upcoming days " while frowning and thinking.
He continued " I want few of you guys to stay hidden and not showing you selves infront of him and while first and second elders will be coming with me to the meeting, we can't show weakness in front of that guy and I am sure that he will be testing me " while the others nodded in agreement.
He continued " I have made decisions regarding the Jinchuriki candidate first being is my daughter Kushina while the latter is Arashi Uzumaki but I haven't realised the decision yet " the elders frowned.
They asked if he was sure of it and not forcing himself.
He convinced them that konoha might be a safe place that his daughter can stay while the upcoming chaos pass us and that he could bring her back once the situation calms down.
While the elders haven't even thought of me, few raised such question but they all rebuked easily even the Uzukage himself rebuked it.
He said that he was talking to and convincing his for the past few days after I got a letter from them.
Kushina already unlocked her chakra in the middle of this year. So she was talented in seals and had a huge chakra compared to others. She proved to be having a good genes.
She was the only one that was considered to be sent to konoha. Even some elders were against the decision of sending one of the Uzumaki clansmen to be a Jinchuriki.
But the Uzukage was playing a double faceted game. Since he knew in my dream that he sent Kushina to konoha and she survived well in konoha.
She will be absolutely safe in konoha if anything happened to Uzushio, so he made that decision.
And if Uzushio survived in thus war and thrived he can just take her back sooner or later if she wanted.
So in this deal the Uzukage was good in both ways but he was not thinking of giving me to konoha because he thought and assumed that I had some kind of hostility towards konoha.
