Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

At Yahiko's residence, Konan, who had been transformed from a piece of paper, was listening to Yahiko's story with a frown on her face.

"What does Hanzo mean? Could it be a test?"

"I don't know. Anyway, just be cautious and act normally. As long as we consider the interests of Amegakure, he will gradually come to believe us."

Yahiko replied calmly.

"What about the teacher...?"

"We will not contact them. We need to keep our distance from our teacher and the others. In addition, I have taken the initiative to have Hanzo's confidants accompany us. Therefore, we cannot act recklessly when we go to Konoha this time."

Yahiko's tone was serious.

Xiao Nan nodded gently: "I know."

The next moment, she turned into pieces of paper, scattered and disappeared.

On a distant high-rise building, Hanzo, wearing a mask, chuckled softly, "Jiraiya, I must admit that the education level in Konoha is indeed higher. You've taught me two excellent students."

"I'm not teaching you; I'm teaching the children of Amegakure and the Land of Rain who are suffering from the ravages of war."

Jiraiya stood beside him, looking down at the buildings below with a hint of wistfulness in his eyes.

unconsciously.

Yahiko and the others have grown to this point. Even the younger Kyohiko is now a renowned and remarkable ninja in the ninja world.

"Hanzo, I hope you will treat them sincerely."

"Of course, I am the leader of Amegakure!"

Hanzo rested his hand on the edge of the railing.

Jiraiya nodded.

The matter has been settled.

Since Hanzo has decided to send ninjas to Konoha for negotiations, it means that Hanzo is more inclined to form an alliance with Konoha and Sunagakure, and he no longer needs to worry about what happens next.

Given the current situation, he needs to pay closer attention to the movements of Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

in particular--

The Eight-Tails was obtained by Konoha.

……

In the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu, the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails sat facing each other, and then—

"Nine-Ra, your posture really brings back memories!"

"Heh, aren't you in a similar sorry state right now?"

Nine-Tailed Fox's taunt.

The demon sneered, "I possess eighty percent of my chakra, while you only have this little bit left. If the seal were broken, you wouldn't stand a chance against a single slap from me."

"Even with only a quarter of my chakra, I can still beat you to a pulp!"

Nine-tailed Fox held its head high.

Even with only a fraction of its chakra, it still held its own against the Gyūki.

What's the point of arguing so fiercely?

Anyway, Jingyan is unlikely to unseal them.

The bull demon rubbed its paws together, then snorted and said, "I didn't expect this brat to actually have a way with you, daring to let you roam around the village like that."

"This is because we share a common enemy."

The Nine-Tailed Fox looked down at the Gyu-Oni with an arrogant expression, which made the Gyu-Oni very unhappy.

Originally, it had hoped to catch up with its old friend after such a long separation, but now that idea was completely gone. It immediately sneered, "What makes you so arrogant, you dog?"

"Be a dog? Who did? I heard you and that guy from Kumogakure are the ones who work perfectly together, obediently following his orders. What, you really think they consider you a brother?"

Nine-Tailed Fox's merciless mockery.

The demon remained silent.

He truly admires Killer Bee. Over the years, they have developed a very good rapport, with no more conflicts. He even guides Killer Bee in battle.

Faced with the Nine-Tailed Fox's taunts, it really couldn't retort for a moment.

and so.

Bang!

Eight octopus tails slammed directly at the nine-tailed clone.

In the blink of an eye, the two tailed beasts started fighting.

"Bang!"

A knock was made.

Kakashi covered his eyes, his emotions reaching their limit.

"I said, all of you, please be quiet!"

"..."

The two tailed beasts glanced at him, then silently went back to continue fighting.

Although most of his chakra was sealed, Kyohiko still managed to leave some of it to maintain his vital signs.

Therefore, even though the Gyūki had a larger total amount of chakra, it was still able to fight the Nine-Tails clone to a standstill while sealed, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Kakashi propped his head up and sneered, "You like fighting? Why don't you go and bring Shukaku along? Even though it's sealed inside your body, it can watch you fight. I'm sure Shukaku will be very happy."

The two tailed beasts stopped immediately.

Ushioni didn't have much of a grudge against Shukaku, but it didn't want to be used as a topic of ridicule by Shukaku.

Immediately, the two beasts recovered from pulling each other's tails.

Kakashi quietly exhaled.

Tailed Beasts...

What a troublesome creature!

However, thanks to this desensitization treatment, he no longer has a strong sense of awe towards the tailed beasts. Instead, he feels that these creatures are just more powerful intelligent beings.

They can get along like one's own ninja dog.

Kakashi, propping his head up with one hand while reviewing documents, said, "If you behave yourselves, I can grant you some requests, like taking you to see Killer Bee."

He looked at the bull demon.

The bull demon's eyes flickered, and it finally calmed down completely, no longer accepting the Nine-Tails' provocations.

It takes two to tango.

Since the Eight-Tails ignored it, the Nine-Tails clones naturally lost interest and, after provoking it several times without receiving any response, became too lazy to bother with it anymore.

……

In Konoha, at Kushina's house, chaos reigned.

Having another child, especially one who is a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast, forced her to make some changes to her lifestyle.

Nine-Tails, she was already used to it.

But with the addition of Temari, the situation changes.

Temari is easier to take care of.

She studies and practices on her own, and even helps with mopping the floor.

However, this situation only made Kushina more worried.

"Minato, don't you feel that the child needs some psychological treatment?"

Kushina whispered.

Minato Namikaze sighed softly.

"There's no cure."

Unlike Kushina, Minato Namikaze, being a top student, had studied the course "psychotherapy".

It requires the patient to be strong on their own.

How can we help Temari strengthen herself given her condition?

We've done everything we could.

That situation was indeed too cruel for a child, but as an elite Jonin of Konoha, Minato could understand Rasa's feelings and choices to some extent.

"Take good care of her. Hopefully, she'll understand in the future, or—"

Minato pondered for a moment and said, "I hope that one day, Kyohiko can achieve true peace and allow the Tailed Beasts to gain complete freedom."

Kushina sighed.

"yes!"

She looked outside, her tone suddenly shifting.

"By the way, I heard that Risa's baby is due soon. Should we prepare a gift and go congratulate him?"

"Hizashi..."

Minato paused for a moment.

Then, he scratched his head and laughed, "He's almost having a child already? That's fast!"

Minato couldn't help but sigh.

Although he was a few years older than Hiashi and Hiashi, they interacted frequently during their assignments after graduation and gradually became familiar with each other.

I always feel...

We are all from the same generation.

As a result, without realizing it, the other party was already about to have a child.

Minato sighed for a moment, then looked at Kushina and said, "We should prepare some gifts. Also, shouldn't we...?"

"Should be what?"

Curious sounds came from outside the window.

Kushina's face immediately turned red, and she quickly got up and ran away.

Minato chuckled dryly, then turned to look out the window.

"Why are you here?"

I need your help with something.

Jing Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Minato immediately used Thunder God Technique to get to Kyohiko's side.

"What is it?"

"We need someone to stay in the Land of Snow to prevent Onoki from stealing it. I can't leave right now. I wonder if you're free to bring them back first. I'll send someone over there later for the subsequent cooperation."

"Of course I'm free."

Minato answered with a smile, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

"By the way, I've made some progress in my previous research on Wind Release: Rasengan. Would you like to learn how to use it?"

"Wind Release: Rasengan, highly concentrated chakra, amplifying its cutting and piercing abilities?"

"Well……"

Minato paused for a second, then gave a wry smile, "As expected of you!"

Then he reached out his hand.

A few seconds later, a special spinning Rasengan appeared in Minato's palm, with four almost materialized wind blades spinning at high speed.

In this state, at first glance—

It's like a shuriken.

Minato Namikaze had mostly studied ninjutsu at home in the past, so it was normal for him to make a breakthrough in Wind Release: Rasengan, in Kyohiko's view.

The real problem is that we can't figure it out!

Jingyan squinted and said, "This is a forbidden technique. You need to throw it out before you can truly develop the Wind Release: Rasengan."

"I have an idea, but my abilities don't allow me to bring it to fruition."

Watergate sighed.

With his chakra, once he enters Sage Mode, he can only sustain one Rasengan like this before exiting Sage Mode, unless two Sages help him.

and.

Minato Namikaze said, "I excel at speed. This technique requires a long period of accumulation, so I developed another version."

He stretched out his hand.

In an instant, a compressed storm appeared in his palm, followed by flames that began to grow within it.

boom!

Storms and flames, scorching with terrifying heat, spread chaotically in all directions.

From a distance, it looks like a swirling, compressed firestorm.

"I call it Scorching Escape: Arrival of the Gale Spiral Dance."

"..."

Jingyan's forehead was covered in black lines.

Minato Namikaze is great in every way, except for his talent for naming things, which is absolutely terrible.

He remained silent for a few seconds.

Finally, Jingyan looked up and said, "I understand, this technique is called Wind and Fire Wheels."

"Well……"

Minato, somewhat annoyed, asked, "Why didn't you call me by my name?"

"Do you think it's good?"

"Isn't it good? Kushina said I picked a great name!"

Watergate answered.

Jingyan rolled his eyes.

Kushina will definitely speak up for you!

Moreover, Minato's technique hasn't reached the level of Scorching Release yet—

Although he can perfectly combine the two nature changes to simulate a similar effect, it is not a special nature change generated by direct fusion like the Scorching Release.

but.

Jingyan suddenly thought of something and said, "Actually, with your reaction speed, you might be able to use Wind Release: Rasengan."

"Flying Thunder God?"

Minato Namikaze clearly had this in mind.

He thought for a moment and said, "It's too late; there will still be damage."

"Where are the shadow clones?"

In this regard, Minato will need Naruto's future reminder.

Minato Namikaze pondered for a few seconds, then instantly understood.

"Mutual teleportation?"

"right."

Jingyan nodded.

Shadow clones and the real body can instantly switch places.

Retaining Minato's powerful mobility while enhancing his threat level makes it the perfect solution for him.

As for Sage Mode.

Unless Minato can become a Jinchūriki and enter the perfect Nine-Tails Chakra Sage Mode, or enter a special Sage Mode with the cooperation of two Sages.

Otherwise, given Minato's chakra reserves, it would be extremely difficult for him to execute a single Rasengan shuriken.

Minato Namikaze nodded slightly.

"feasible!"

Mutual instantaneous.

It's really good!

"Minato, how much do you know about the Spirit Transformation Technique?"

"Um?"

Minato Namikaze was awakened.

He stared at Kyohiko warily and said seriously, "Kyohiko, the soul is an extremely dangerous realm. Even I... dare not venture into it lightly."

He did indeed secretly attempt to conduct research in this area.

The corpse demons are sealed away.

The ultimate sealing technique from the Uzumaki clan.

but.

The Reaper Death Seal is ultimately a sealing technique, but the process is more complicated. It requires first summoning the Grim Reaper, and then using the Grim Reaper as a medium to complete the spell.

The techniques of spiritualization are different.

This technique involves directly extracting one's own soul and then killing enemies from afar. The cultivation process is fraught with danger, and the key point is—

Jingyan is already strong enough; he doesn't need this technique at all.

Why do you want to study this technique?

"To be precise, it wasn't me, but the Hyuga clan. They hoped to develop a new cursed seal technique through research on the Second Hokage's soul."

Kyohiko whispered Hiashi's thoughts.

Minato Namikaze's face showed a look of horror.

He had just been talking to Kushina about Hizashi's child, but unexpectedly, Hiashi had a more advanced idea.

Does the other party want to completely eliminate the distinction between the main family and branch families?

That's a good thing.

However, such research will inevitably result in the loss of a significant number of experimental subjects or the loss of many lives.

After all, it's difficult to achieve the same effect through experimental subjects; it's necessary to use people directly for experiments.

That would contradict their principles.

Minato Namikaze shook his head, expressing his concerns.

"I do not endorse this research."

"Of course, I don't agree either. Hiashi understands that we won't agree, so he won't do that. He probably just wants to do some research on the soul."

Jing Yan said.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and replied, "Within the Uzumaki clan, there is a sect with a Four Symbols Seal..."

He explained the principle behind the Four Symbols Seal.

After speaking, he paused, then said, "For the Hyuga clan, the Caged Bird Seal is actually a fairly mature cursed seal. If they want to further improve it..."

"I think the Inner Four Symbols Seal might be a more suitable direction for improvement."

The Four Symbols Seal.

The scene of Danzo sealing the bridge flashed through Kyohiko's mind.

"This technique requires extremely high skill in sealing techniques."

"Yes."

Minato Namikaze nodded. "Hiashi's idea is probably that he's worried the main family won't be able to participate in the battle, thus losing the possibility of further improvement. The Reverse Four Symbols Seal is a more suitable choice."

"I can consider it."

Jingyan nodded.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I will give him the part of my research on the soul related to the Spirit Transformation Technique, and in return, I will exchange some of the Hyuga clan's research with him. As for the Inner Four Symbols Seal..."

That would be a different price. (End of Chapter)
