Chapter 207 The Four Heavenly Treasures of the Uzumaki Clan!

Dinner was warm and peaceful, the kind of quiet comfort that had become rare in the Tazuna household.

"Dinner was amazing as always," Tazuna said, patting his stomach.

"I'm glad you liked it, Father," Tsunami replied with a gentle smile as she began collecting the dishes. Her gaze fell on Inari, who was absently poking at the last bits of his rice.

"Something wrong, dear?"

"I… I miss big bro Naruto."

"We all miss him, kid. Those shinobi… they really shook things up around here, made this house feel alive again." The old man took a sip of his drink. "But listen, Inari... people like that come and go. That's just how life works. They show up, teach you something important, and then it's your turn to carry it forward."

Inari looked up, eyes wide at his grandfather's words. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Tazuna smiled faintly. "Besides, there's a big event coming up called the Chunin Exams, right? Maybe we'll go to the Leaf and cheer on Naruto and the others. Wouldn't that be something?"

"Yeah! I wanna go!"

Tsunami laughed softly at their enthusiasm, but the peace didn't last.

Without warning, the door to the living room creaked open as someone barged in. Three screams filled the room. Naruto and Oscar, startled, immediately joined in the screaming.

"WAIT, why are we screaming!?"

Oscar gave a helpless little shrug.

"N-Naruto, boy, is that you!?" Tazuna said, clutching his fork like a weapon.

"Yeah, sorry for the scare," Naruto said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "I used the Homeward Miracle to teleport outside of Uzushiogakure, and this was the closest place I could think of." He glanced around with a smile. "New house looks nice, by the way."

Tsunami blinked, trying to catch up. "Teleport? Why would you...? Are you alright, Naruto-kun?"

"Oh, I'm fine," Naruto said with a casual wave. "But sorry, can't really say why I teleported. Official ninja business." The light caught the Dragon Crest Ring on his hand as he said it, and it gleamed faintly.

"Well, would you like to have some dinner with us?" Tsunami asked. "You could rest a bit or—"

Before she could finish, Naruto's armor shimmered and vanished in a burst of light, leaving him in nothing but the cold night air from the window he'd opened.

Tazuna nearly choked on his drink. "Naruto, I know my daughter's quite the lovely lady, but if you plan on courting her, a slow approach might work better!"

Flying was an experience unlike anything Naruto had ever known.

The wind didn't just rush past him; rather, it sang. It roared in his ears, brushed across his feathers, and carried him with a freedom so pure that it made his chest ache. The air grew colder the higher he climbed, sharp and clean, each gust threading through his wings like a living current. Below him, the ocean stretched endlessly, a vast mirror of silver-blue that shimmered beneath the moonlight. The stars seemed closer up here, scattered like glowing shards of crystal across the black expanse of sky.

Every beat of his wings sent a thrill through his body. Every turn, every dive, every rise through the clouds felt like a conversation with the wind itself.

It took Naruto several hours of steady flight to finally reach the outer edge of Uzushiogakure's territory.

From this height, the land itself looked like a massive seal carved into the earth, its lines faintly glowing with dormant chakra. Every instinct screamed that one wrong move would tear him apart.

"Alright, buddy," Naruto muttered, his distorted bird-voice soft but firm. "This is it. You're my eyes. Guide me through."

Oscar's Soulsight began flaring. He chirped once while pointing a tiny claw toward a thin ripple in the air.

Author's Note:

And next time on Naruto: The Chosen Undead, watch as our boy Naruto literally hangs himself to get a power-up!

Anyway, jokes aside, let's move into today's Q&A, because this chapter opens up some important lore stuff that I wanted to expand on a bit.

Q: Is the Yata Mirror and the Sword of Totsuka related to the Uzumaki Clan?

Answer: Canonically? We don't know. The manga and databooks never clearly explain where either weapon came from or who forged them. The only thing we know for sure is that both are spiritual artifacts connected to Itachi's Susanoo, and they're both absurdly broken in terms of power scaling.

Here's what we do know from canon:

The Sword of Totsuka (sometimes referred to as the Sakegari Longsword) is described as a Kusanagi-type blade imbued with an extraordinarily powerful sealing jutsu. Anything pierced by it is absorbed into its gourd and sealed away forever inside a genjutsu realm of eternal drunken dreams. The sword doesn't even have a tangible form, as it's made entirely of spiritual energy, capable of cutting through anything regardless of physical resistance. Orochimaru spent years hunting for it and failed. Itachi somehow obtained it, or possibly inherited it, though how remains completely unexplained.

The Yata Mirror is another spiritual weapon. An ethereal shield capable of repelling any ninjutsu or taijutsu attack, whether physical or spiritual in nature. It achieves this by instantly altering its own properties to perfectly counter whatever it's defending against. If it's hit by fire, it becomes water. It's basically the ultimate defense.

How these two artifacts appear and disappear with Itachi's Susanoo is also a mystery. The most accepted theory is that he's summoning and desummoning them from the spiritual plane, as they're not actually a part of his Susanoo, but tools bound to his spirit.

So why connect them to the Uzumaki clan?

There are actually two reasons behind my interpretation.

1. The Sealing Connection

The Sword of Totsuka possesses one of the most powerful sealing techniques in the entire series. A sealing so potent that it can trap an Edo Tensei soul, which is essentially immortal. If that doesn't scream Uzumaki craftsmanship, I don't know what does.

Think about it: every top-grade, overpowered sealing jutsu in the Narutoverse tends to trace its roots back to the Uzumaki in one way or another. Their clan literally built the foundations of sealing jutsu. From the Shinigami contract to the Eight Trigrams Seal, their techniques define the highest forms of spiritual control.

So when I see a blade that can seal, I see the fingerprints of the Uzumaki all over it.

2. The Spiritual Connection

For my version of the Uzumaki clan, I'm leaning heavily into the spiritual and metaphysical side of their legacy.

Runes that can interact with souls. Mito sealing a piece of her soul as a lingering presence. The clan's canon ties to the Shinigami itself.

So when I looked at the Yata Mirror and the Sword of Totsuka—two divine, soul-bound weapons that operate entirely in the spiritual realm—it made perfect sense to tie them to the Uzumaki.

Q: What is the Nine Divine Masked Beasts Jutsu?

A: Well… I'm not going to reveal it just yet. But don't worry, as this jutsu isn't some random OC power I cooked up out of nowhere. It's actually based on something canon-adjacent. You'll understand exactly what I mean when it's revealed in-story.

That said, I'll give you guys a small hint.

The Nine Divine Masked Beasts Jutsu is directly connected to the Uzumaki clan's masks.

I'm sure you remember when Orochimaru and his crew broke into the Uzumaki Mask Temple in Konoha and used the Reaper Mask to free the Four Hokage's souls. That whole sequence was one of the most fascinating, creepy, and mystical moments in the series for me.

On my first watch, I loved it. On every rewatch since… I just got more and more annoyed that Kishimoto completely ignored the Uzumaki clan.

Quick Rant Time: Like seriously, Naruto is the main character, one of the last known members of the Uzumaki clan, and the descendant of some of the most legendary seal masters in history. Wouldn't you think… maybe, just maybe… his clan heritage should've been a major part of his growth?

This kid's entire character arc revolves around loneliness, identity, and legacy, and we barely get anything about his family.

Instead, we got endless lore drops about the Uchiha.

Again.

I mean, I love the Uchiha story as much as anyone, but imagine how much more powerful Naruto's journey would've been if he explored his roots as an Uzumaki.

Imagine a parallel between Naruto and Sasuke:

two orphans from clans wiped out due to the shinobi world, both seeking to understand their pasts but walking different paths to healing.

Sasuke learns vengeance. Naruto learns endurance and understanding.

That would've been peak storytelling.

Both inherit their legacies and change the shinobi world rather than the nonsense reincarnation plot line we got in canon.

Back to the Question:

Anyway, before I spiral into another rant, the Nine Divine Masked Beasts Jutsu is my way of filling in that missing piece of Uzumaki lore.

It ties together the masks of the Uzumaki and the spiritual arts of sealing.

I'm blending what little we know from canon with my own original expansion of the Uzumaki clan's mythology.

I hope you guys enjoyed this little dive into my Uzumaki lore expansion, as it's been one of my favorite things to write so far.

Let me know what you think:

Do you like the idea of tying the clan's masks and sealing arts into a grander jutsu?

Do you guys like the idea of the Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror being Uzumaki clan weapons?

Do you have your own theories about what the Nine Divine Masked Beasts might be?

Next chapter's going to be a wild one, trust me, and Naruto's rite of passage is about to take a dark, mythic turn.

Stay tuned, and as always, thank you for reading!
