Kagutsuchi soon reached Uzumaki village and directly teleported to his house where Mitsuo, Fuso, and Kushina were waiting for him. As soon as everyone present in the room saw Kagutsuchi, they felt relieved to see him unharmed.

"It's good to see you fine, uncle," said Mitsuo.

"Why wouldn't I be fine? I didn't even use my full strength, and they lost. My purpose of showing them the disparity in our strength was achieved," said Kagutsuchi while sitting down on his seat. Mitsuo and the others also nodded after hearing this, and Fuso brought all the pots that Kagutsuchi had reverse summoned and placed them in front of him.

Kagutsuchi looked at the pots and said, "Tomorrow, seal every tailed beast inside the Jinchuriki, and as for Kushina, after I extract the Nine-Tail from Mito, I will plant it myself on her. Kurama is a tailed beast who is on a whole other level, and handling him will be very difficult for you guys."

Fuso replied, "Yes, Granduncle, I will make sure that it is done first thing in the morning."

Kagutsuchi nodded and said, "Make sure that the seal is designed in stages so that it can be opened gradually. Even if the tailed beasts cooperate, there is a high chance that their negative emotions will affect the Jinchuriki, and the Jinchuriki may lose control."

"Yes, Granduncle, we are taking special care of this," replied Fuso.

"Now, Mitsuo there is an important task I want to assign to you," said Kagutsuchi.

"Yes, Uncle, please tell me," said Mitsuo, ready for the task.

"I want you, along with the other retired elders, to research a sealing method by which a tailed beast cloak can be bestowed upon every Uzumaki clan member using the chakra of the tailed beasts. This cloak should serve as a trump card for the Uzumaki clan members without putting their lives at risk," said Kagutsuchi, seeking something similar to what Kurama did for the Shinobi Alliance army during Fourth Ninja War.

"This will further boost the strength of the Uzumaki clan. I am certain that I, along with the other retired elders, will work on it diligently," said Mitsuo.

"Hmm, this will boost the strength of the Uzumaki clan members by at least two times or even more. However, remember that with this power, the members of the Uzumaki clan may become arrogant. So, do whatever is required, but I don't want arrogance among the Uzumaki clan members, similar to the Uchiha clan members," said Kagutsuchi, while explaining, but his voice also contained a hint of warning.

Fuso understood the seriousness and consequences if clan members became arrogant. "Don't worry, Grand Uncle. I will make sure nothing like this happens within the Uzumaki clan members."

After the discussion was done, Kagutsuchi said, "Leave, I need to rest."

As Kagutsuchi said this, everyone started leaving, but Kushina felt quite dejected. After the incident in Konoha, Kagutsuchi was disappointed in her and hadn't talked much to her as he usually did in the past.

Just as Kushina was about to leave the gate of Kagutsuchi's house, Kagutsuchi's voice came, "Kushina, come tomorrow morning. I want to check how far you have progressed."

Kushina's saddened expression turned into a smile as she happily turned around and said, "Yes, Grandpa, I will surely come tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Kushina left with Mitsuo and Fuso, and both Mitsuo and Fuso were also happy to see her in high spirits.

The next morning, all the tailed beasts from the One-Tails to the Eight-Tails were sealed into the chosen Jinchuriki, including Sakura and Hiroshi. Hiroshi became the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, while Sarada became the Jinchuriki of the Seven-Tails.

After being burned by Kagutsuchi's fire, all the tailed beasts were exhausted and unable to move much, making it easy for Fuso and the others to seal them. Even if they could move, the tailed beasts wouldn't have resisted because they understood that they would surely die at the hands of Kagutsuchi if he wanted to kill them.

A few minutes ago...

In a spiritual space, all the tailed beasts gathered with Kagutsuchi standing in the middle.

"So what have you decided?" asked Kagutsuchi.

"Do we even have a choice here? I don't mind," said Gyuki.

"I also don't want to die, so I agree," said Shukaku.

After that, everyone nodded. Before, they were arrogant because they knew they would never die permanently. Even if they were killed, they would be resurrected within few years, ensuring their immortality. Moreover, the villages needed them, so they were certain that nothing will happen to them.

But now the situation was different. The person standing in front of them was capable of killing them permanently.

Kagutsuchi nodded and said, "Good," before disappearing from the spiritual space.

At present, all the Jinchuriki who were selected were among the best geniuses present in the Uzumaki clan. Even within this group, the Jinchuriki were chosen based on their potential. Ninjas with more potential were made the Jinchuriki of more powerful tailed beasts.

Meaning that the Jinchuriki of Gyuki, Hiroshi, was the best among them, and the Jinchuriki with the lowest potential was given the weakest tailed beast Shukau. The reason was simple: a Jinchuriki with a base strength of Kage level would be far stronger than a Jinchuriki of same tailed beast with the base strength of a Jonin-level. The stronger Jinchuriki would have a more significant power boost compared to the weaker ones.

(A/N: "Although it's not mentioned anywhere that tailed beasts with more tails are stronger, But I will use this in my fanfic.")
