My older sister is Kushina

Tailed beasts have always been something that all the major ninja villages actively fight for, and they are also an important symbol of combat power for each village.

In order to quell the chaos, the first Hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju, subdued the nine tailed beasts and then divided them equally among the various countries, which barely achieved a certain balance.

Today, the Tailed Beasts are like "nuclear weapons" in the hands of various countries.

If Uzumaki Hanamichi could suppress and defeat Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, it would not only demonstrate Konoha's strength but also serve as a deterrent to other countries.

Before this, Minato Namikaze had considered several other candidates to deal with Killer Bee. There were still people in the village who could resist Killer Bee, such as his wife, Kushina Uzumaki. As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, she had the strength to fight the Eight-Tails. However, his wife Kushina had only given birth two months ago, and although she had almost recovered, he was still worried about her fighting the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee.

Taking everything into consideration, Minato Namikaze felt that Hanamichi Uzumaki was the most suitable candidate. Of course, this was just a preliminary assessment, and it was still unknown whether the Hidden Cloud Village would send Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Uzumaki Hanamichi had more or less guessed the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's considerations. Faced with the other party's request, he hesitated slightly. If he were to fight Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he would probably reveal a lot of things. Killer Bee was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and his strength was extraordinary. Minato Namikaze wanted him to fight because he hoped that he could defeat Killer Bee.

After a moment of silence, Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded and said, "Alright, if necessary, I can step in to fight Killer Bee."

Uzumaki Hanamichi's decision to agree to the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's request was naturally based on his own considerations. This matter was also for the sake of the village's stability. The two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure visited Konoha with the main purpose of probing their strengths and weaknesses. The sparring match was a kind of test, and now Konoha needed to demonstrate its confidence and strength.

Minato Namikaze breathed a slight sigh of relief upon receiving a positive answer from Hanamichi Uzumaki: "Ado, thank you!"

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "I am also a part of Konoha, and this is my responsibility."

Since arriving in Konoha, Uzumaki Hanamichi has long been integrated into Konoha's life. Konoha can be considered his second hometown. There are many people in Konoha whom he wants to protect, such as his sister Uzumaki Kushina and the blond-haired boy. No matter what, he still hopes that Konoha can be peaceful and stable.

In the Hokage's office, the conversation between Uzumaki Hanamichi and the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, didn't last long, lasting only about twenty minutes.

After ending the conversation, Uzumaki Hanamichi quickly left the Hokage's office.

He still has a lot to do today, one of his important tasks being to secretly monitor the actions of the two major delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

According to the arrangements made by the Konoha leadership, two high-ranking Konoha representatives will lead the two delegations on a tour of Konoha today, which can be considered a form of exchange.

At 10:00 AM, the two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure left their residences.

Under Konoha's arrangement, the two delegations met together, and then a representative from Konoha led them on a tour.

The delegation's first stop was the Konoha Ninja Academy.

The Konoha Ninja Academy was established by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and has been passed down for decades, supplying Konoha with a large number of ninja talents. For example, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the legendary Sannin, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, all came from the Ninja Academy. It not only broke down the barriers between clans to a certain extent, but also provided standardized and systematic teaching, which greatly improved the students' abilities in all aspects. In addition, it can cultivate the feelings between students from an early age. Many Konoha ninjas have built deep friendships and bonds with each other since childhood.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was based on the Second Hokage's will, and the Ninja Academy always attached great importance to him, making many improvements based on the Second Hokage's work.

The ninja academy's teaching did not stop because of the arrival of the two delegations. In the classrooms, the teachers continued to teach the children as always, including both cultural theory courses and ninjutsu courses.

The two delegations, arranged by the Konoha representative, walked through the classrooms one by one.

At the ninja training ground, the children are all studying and practicing hard, practicing with weapons such as kunai and ninja stars, as well as ninjutsu techniques.

Of course, right now the children at the ninja academy are only learning the basics.

Uzumaki Hanamichi watched the two delegations from afar. Accompanying him were Hatake Kakashi and Aburame Shihei, who were responsible for the daytime surveillance mission.

The two delegations from Kumogakure and Kirigakure spent about an hour touring the Konoha Ninja Academy, and afterwards had a discussion in a school conference room.

The main topic of the exchange was the teaching and training of ninjas at the ninja academy.

Nowadays, both Kumogakure and Kirigakure have followed Konoha's example and established ninja academies, so there is still a lot they can exchange ideas on in terms of teaching methods.

Although the main purpose of the two delegations was to spy on Konoha's strengths and weaknesses, they were still happy to learn from any lessons they could learn.

Around noon, the two delegations left Konoha School under the guidance of the Konoha representative.

After leaving the school, the delegation members had lunch together.

Lunch was naturally prepared in advance by Konoha, and the delegation's meal was quite sumptuous.

After having eaten and drunk their fill, the delegation rested at their lodgings for nearly two hours before beginning their afternoon tour.

The Konoha leadership arranged quite a few sites for the two delegations to visit, but these were only warehouses in the distribution areas. Places involving Konoha's secrets were not included, such as the Anbu Building, which is the core of Konoha's Anbu headquarters and has a special confidential room for collecting information from various sources.

Uzumaki Hanamichi, along with Hatake Kakashi and Aburame Shihei, had been secretly following him all along.

This surveillance mission was somewhat tedious.

In the afternoon, the two delegations visited two different locations, a visit that did not end until evening.

As night fell, Uzumaki Hanamichi, Hatake Kakashi, and Aburame Shihei finished their surveillance. The next surveillance task was handed over to Inuzuka He and Akino Hiratani.

The two delegations had no plans for the evening, so it was essentially free time.

Inuzuka He and Akino Hiratani were tasked with monitoring the delegation's residence, just like Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Hima yesterday.

After finishing his surveillance mission, Uzumaki Hanamichi soon headed to the Midnight Diner.

Xiaoyuzi is already busy at the late-night diner, mainly preparing ingredients that she can handle.

After arriving at the Midnight Diner, Hanamichi Uzumaki quickly joined in. With about an hour left before the diner opened, some preparations needed to be completed as soon as possible.

Before we knew it, more than an hour had passed.

After a flurry of activity, Uzumaki Hanamichi and Kotamako were ready.

Whirlpool Flower Path checked the time, then walked out of the shop and hung up the lanterns.

The late-night diner opens at 8 p.m.
