Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 221 Don't want to be dignified? I'll help you be dignified!

"What kind of event is this?"

"It's supposed to be a village benefit program. People who live in remote areas or are elderly can register in the village, and we'll have the ninja academy kids bring some firewood for the winter."

"That's great! Ever since we won the battle, the benefits have been getting better and better."

"yes!"

Everyone discussed it enthusiastically, praising the village's good policies.

Compared to the past.

In the past year, the village has provided us with so many benefits.

However, they only thought it was because of the victory in the war that they received many benefits, but they didn't know that it was also related to the reforms in the Ninja Academy's system.

Nowadays, ninja academy students are divided into many categories in addition to their training.

For example, a swordsmanship class.

Practicing swordsmanship requires effort, as does chopping down a tree; combining the two would be a win-win situation.

The physical training class follows a similar approach.

The consequence was that the Konoha Ninja Academy's food expenses increased.

but……

This is also to make children healthier and stronger.

You could say that a lot of money was spent to accomplish many things.

That's efficiency.

In comparison, the old ninja academy system was very redundant and wasteful, squandering precious youthful years, especially the last three years.

Above, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again, "Are you all here?"

"Yes, I specifically called them all over to count the number of people. After all, winter is approaching, and counting the number of people will allow the children to deliver firewood to our door in the winter."

Mitomon Yando.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time.

The policy change at the Ninja Academy was initially set by Kyohiko under his influence, the subsequent framework was basically made by Kyohiko, and the specific arrangements were carried out by Mitomon Homura.

In retrospect, the policy reforms of the Ninja Academy were undoubtedly very successful!

If they had continued with their old methods, the Ninja Academy would never be as prosperous as it is now, and the children would never be as enthusiastic and driven as they are today.

Mitokado Homura laughed and said, "By the way, the Ninja Academy has been established quite successfully now, but we can't ignore the next step. Tsunade is too busy, so we should figure it out ourselves."

"Next step?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, taken aback.

What's next?

"Yes, you forgot? According to Kyohiko's framework, the Ninja Academy is just the first step. The current Ninja Academy students are mainly focused on developing combat and mission execution abilities, while the theoretical education has been relaxed..."

Mitokado Yan recounted the arrangements made at the time.

During the Genin stage, it is necessary to further train some ninjas with command, research, or Chunin abilities, allowing them to master more theoretical knowledge and advanced skills.

In other words, a portion of the previous six years of genin training was broken up and moved to the genin stage for study and training.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked somewhat dazed.

He remembered.

That's really true!

"Why!"

"Maybe I really am getting old!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly.

He couldn't understand many of the operations immediately; he would only realize them later.

This is a sign of aging!

even.

Lian Shuihu Menyan...

Mitokado Enoki seems to be very energetic and motivated now, and even younger than he feels.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi, you need to step up! You can't be lazy anymore!"

……

The Forest of Death.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina were somewhat bewildered.

It was just too sudden!

Previously, they couldn't contact Kyohiko, and it was only through Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique that they were able to communicate with him.

did not expect.

After returning to the village, Jingyan immediately put this matter on the agenda.

"Kyohiko, what, what's going on? Shouldn't we prepare something?"

"It happened so suddenly, there was no time to prepare, and we didn't have much time, including Nine-Tails."

"Kyohiko said."

Yuzuki has already sent her shadow clone.

just now……

He needs to first persuade the Nine-Tails.

After Kyohiko finished speaking, he reached out and placed his hand on Kushina's forehead.

"Kushina-senpai, I need to enter the sealed space and communicate with Kurama face to face. After all, we will need to release a part of it after today, and I need to make some things clear."

"Can."

Kushina nodded.

A moment later, Jingyan's consciousness flashed, and he found himself in the familiar, dark space.

Nine-Tailed Fox grinned.

"Kid, you really want to let me out?"

"Only a part of you."

Jingyan nodded.

"One is that Kushina-senpai cannot be completely separated from you, and the other is that I am not entirely at ease about giving you complete freedom, because... we have made a new discovery."

"Oh?"

Kurama propped itself up, a hint of eagerness on its face. "Madara's still alive?"

"Very likely, to put it simply..."

Jingyan will provide a detailed account of what happened before and after his encounter with Zetsu, so that Kurama can make its own judgment.

Tailed beasts like the Nine-Tails cannot fully trust humans. Ignoring certain details and the whole story may backfire, making the other party suspect that you are trying to use it and have fabricated a lie.

To be honest, this is how Kyohiko deals with Kurama.

only……

To be honest, there is definitely a focus.

Nine-Tails listened quietly, appearing calm, but its claws were already scratching the "prison" door impatiently.

It was angry and excited!

"Kid, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Jingyan shared his guess.

Kurama nodded repeatedly, then grinned: "Then, one thing is certain: that black thing is a kind of chakra life form. In fact, we tailed beasts also have similar abilities to that possession state."

"Tailed beast transformation?"

Jingyan picked up the conversation, partly to satisfy Kurama's desire to perform.

Sure enough, Kurama grinned and said disdainfully, "Tailed beast transformation?"

It snorted coldly.

"Your understanding of tailed beast transformation will cause you great damage."

"That's right, but the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails won't get injured after transforming into their Tailed Beast forms."

Jingyan deliberately chimed in.

"Hey, one reason is that they're too weak, and the other, of course, is that they already surrendered and willingly helped humanity, while I will absolutely never submit to you!"

Nine-Tailed Fox raised its head and said, "Even now, my relationship with you is at most one of cooperation, not one of submission."

"That's natural. It's clear that as the Nine-Tails, your strength far surpasses theirs."

Jingyan smiled.

Nine-Tails snorted and said something like, "Of course."

However, it quickly realized what was happening.

"Kid, you trying to trick me into telling me something?"

"No, I'm telling the truth."

Jingyan smiled.

Nine-Tails stared at Kyohiko for a long time without saying a word.

truth?

It didn't believe a single word.

This kid has the strength of Hashirama Senju, but also the ruthlessness of Hashirama's younger brother, making him much more difficult to deal with than Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.

After calming down, Kurama started to have doubts about this and that again...

"You need not worry."

Jingyan smiled.

Nine-Tails raised its eyes and looked at Kyohiko with a wary look in them.

It didn't speak, but its eyes seemed to say everything.

Kyohiko continued, "Once the summoning contract is sealed, I'll take you to see the body I mentioned. Although it's not a chakra life form, it's a life form that's different from the First Hokage yet extremely similar. You should be able to tell the difference."

"it is good."

The nine tails spat out a single word.

If it could see the flesh and blood the other party was describing, it would believe that what Jingyan said was true.

Jingyan nodded, his consciousness fading.

Open your eyes.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina looked anxious.

"How is it?"

"We can begin."

Jingyan nodded.

Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised and said, "Yuzuki Uzumaki..."

"She's here."

Done.

The Flying Thunder God's energy wave was transmitted.

Immediately afterward, Yuki Uzumaki appeared beside the three of them. Compared to when she first arrived in Konoha, Yuki Uzumaki had grown considerably.

Although I didn't become a ninja, but...

Her physical condition and basic attributes were so good that she didn't need much training. With the help of the detailed records in the book by Kushina, she learned how to use the Vajra Chains.

He had already explained what he was going to do.

Yuzuki Uzumaki stood to the side.

Kushina's eyes were filled with worry.

Jingyan said, "Don't worry, we don't actually need her. We brought her here partly as insurance, and partly to let her see what a tailed beast is like, and..."

He paused for a moment, then didn't continue.

but.

Both of them, being from the Uzumaki clan, knew exactly what Kyohiko was trying to say.

And why was the Uzumaki clan wiped out?

Jingyan threw a signal flare upwards.

Bang!

The signal flare exploded.

In an instant, a massive barrier opened.

This barrier is not the Four Purple Flame Array, but a combination barrier that isolates aura and space, which can seal off the movement and aura of the Death Forest.

All four people present were experts in perception, and they sensed the barrier the moment it rose.

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes.

"Let's begin."

Kushina quickly composed herself and adjusted her emotions to their best.

Then.

Form the hand seal and unseal!

In an instant, a massive aura of chakra emanated from her, quickly filling the entire forest.

Unlike the previous gradual withdrawal, this is different.

This time, the Nine-Tails' chakra directly devoured Kushina, and then instantly transformed into a giant tailed beast.

"Uchiha Madara!"

Decades of accumulated resentment filled his heart, making the Nine-Tails only want to wreak havoc and vent his anger.

Yuzuki Uzumaki, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

The tailed beasts are enormous!

She stared blankly at the enormous red beast, her face filled with barely suppressed shock.

Such terrifying power is actually sealed within Kushina's body at all times!

and.

Such terrifying resentment...

Yuzuki bit her lip.

She suddenly realized that Kushina wasn't actually that happy. In Konoha, it was like a living prison, just to imprison this terrible beast.

At this moment, she wanted to do her part.

but……

Jingyan was prepared.

"Minato, after I finish the procedure, use the contract seal to seal it away from Madara Uchiha's summoning contract."

"Um."

Minato Namikaze nodded, his face filled with anxiety.

at the same time.

On the other side, the shadow clone that was turning into amber suddenly disappeared along with the amber.

Immortal patterns instantly appeared on Jingyan's body.

After quickly forming hand seals, pine trees sprouted from all directions, and countless resins instantly overflowed, freezing the nine-tailed fox's claws and tail inside.

As the Nine-Tailed Fox struggled, the amber spread rapidly.

Immortal Technique: Amber Seal!

With the blessing of divine magic, the amber, strengthened like chains, sealed off the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail, hands, and head.

"Aww!"

The nine-tailed fox struggled desperately.

but.

The lock, formed from amber, tightly bound it, almost as if it were sealing it inside.

"Watergate!"

"Um."

Minato Namikaze had already begun forming hand seals.

The next moment—

call out!

In an instant, he used his Body Flicker Technique to appear above the Nine-Tails' head, and the Nine-Tails looked up...

Bang!

A hand suddenly slammed down.

Jingyan maintained the seal with one hand, while his other hand transformed into a giant wooden hand, pressing the Nine-Tails' head to the ground.

Although Nine-Tails indicated its cooperation, judging from its current attitude, it clearly still wants to demonstrate its strength.

Then you can't blame him for being impolite!

One punch.

The Nine-Tails was smashed into the ground, and Minato landed on its head in an instant, then pressed his right hand on the Nine-Tails' head in a flash.

The procedures were deployed.

A series of sealing techniques spread throughout the Nine-Tails' entire body.

A special symbol appeared simultaneously in the eyes of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This is the summoning contract between Madara and Kurama.

After the seal took effect, the contract in its eyes was instantly severed.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze returned to Kyohiko's side.

"How is it?"

"Success! The contract between Ban and it has been sealed, but why is it still in a berserk state?"

"What berserk mode? It just wants to show off its strength."

Jingyan sneered.

There were no Uchiha clan members around.

Immediately, he shouted, "Nine-Tails, I know you can control your reason. If you don't rein in your power, don't blame us for being impolite!"

The next instant, without Jingyan's intervention, chains grew from the Nine-Tails' body, immediately sealing it off, and then—

Kushina emerged from its body.

"Damn Nine-Tails! I thought you really went berserk, but it turns out you were just trying to trick me and deliberately channeled your resentment towards me?"

"I have been sealed for too long, and my resentment is too great to be controlled for the time being."

The Nine-Tails finally spoke.

but.

Its voice betrayed its guilty conscience.

Obviously.

Just now, it did indeed want to vent its anger, demonstrate its power, and also test just how far Kyohiko had gone.

result.

In terms of Wood Release and strength, this kid is indeed not as good as Hashirama Senju, but this peculiar, constantly generating, and continuous sealing technique is really making it very uncomfortable.

Unless it can instantly pulverize all the amber, it will continuously regenerate.

Faced with a seal of immortal power...

Unless the Nine-Tails can unleash its full power, it cannot directly break through its defenses for the time being, and currently, it only possesses half of its power.

The other half is controlled by Kushina's seal.

This woman...

How awful!

Nine-Tailed Fox was secretly annoyed.

"Nine-Tails, you must fulfill your promise."

Minato Namikaze's expression was indifferent.

To him, the Nine-Tails joke was not funny.

After all, it concerned Kushina's life or death.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise, but you will have to unravel them first, otherwise how can I spare my strength?"

"Nine-Tails said."

"No need, I can do it too!"

Jingyan gave a cold laugh.

Don't want to be dignified? Then I'll have to make it dignified for you!

The next moment, he formed a hand seal.

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

With Kyohiko's improved physique and mastery of Wood Release, he was already able to use the Wood Dragon Technique long ago, not to mention that he is now in Sage Mode.

In an instant, a wooden dragon flew out from his palm and instantly wrapped around the nine-tailed fox.

Subsequently, the tailed beast chakra was rapidly absorbed from Kurama and, under his control, formed two tree fruits, while Kurama slowly shrank from its enormous body.

Finally, with a resentful roar, it shrank back into Kushina's body.

Kushina was pale and furious: "You lied to me, so I'm going to seal you away again!"

Inside the dark space, the Nine-Tails, with less than half its power remaining, remained silent.

This time...

This is incredibly embarrassing!

It originally wanted to show its strength and make these younger ninjas take it seriously, but it went too far and ended up giving that kid Kyohiko a chance to teach it a lesson.

How embarrassing!

Nine-Tailed Fox lay on the ground, sighing repeatedly.
