Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 508 The Relationship Between Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki

Shukaku and Kurama.

One tail and nine tails.

After Yua changed the world so much that it was unrecognizable from the original story, the tailed beasts became less important to the various villages.

Therefore, the villages all planned to make Naruto the last Jinchūriki, and then release the Tailed Beasts directly, without having to deal with the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki thing anymore.

Or rather, even Youya, who proposed this idea, did not expect to receive unanimous agreement from the other villages.

In reality, Yua had misunderstood. In the original manga, other villages abolished the Jinchuriki system, although this was partly due to the fact that Naruto and Sasuke were two monstrous individuals whose strength dominated the entire ninja world.

But to be honest, the fact that a rough village like Kumogakure agreed to Naruto's proposal to liberalize the tailed beasts already speaks volumes.

Some might say that since Killer Bee is in the Hidden Cloud Village in the manga, this condition is not surprising at all to them.

People who think this way have viewed Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) as being on the same level as Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village) from the very beginning.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto and Sasuke became the new generation of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

The two of them overpowered the entire ninja world. Theoretically speaking, what they accomplished was the truth, a truth that other villages dared not and could not refute.

Under these circumstances, it seems that Kumogakure should unconditionally support all of Naruto's decisions.

But if that's really the case, then it's even stranger.

Does the Hidden Cloud Village really have such a mindset?

So the truth is actually quite simple.

In the future depicted in the manga, the villages discover that the Tailed Beasts are not as powerful as they had imagined.

Similarly, in the ninja world where Yua lives, with the current vigorous development of various weapons, tailed beasts are not really a particularly important fighting force for the five great ninja villages.

With missiles in hand, the five great ninja villages can deter each other. Although this deterrence is rather weak, and missile attacks will not be as devastating as nuclear bombs if a real war breaks out, missile bombardment still has its advantages compared to the Tailed Beast Balls.

such as……

You'll be full.

If there are enough of them, then the tailed beasts become less appealing.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the five great ninja villages all agreed with Yua's decision regarding the current handling of these tailed beasts.

After learning of this decision, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, naturally stopped tormenting Gaara and preventing him from sleeping.

After all, if things go wrong, Sunagakure would rather seal Shukaku than let it cause trouble in the village.

Although Sunagakure is not as wealthy as Konoha, the Kazekage of Sunagakure values ​​every single street in the village.

Konoha Village is rich, but what does Sunagakure Village have?

There's plenty of sand, but sand is just sand; it can't be turned into gold.

So Shukaku lived a carefree life, enjoying the same comforts as the Nine-Tails in Konoha.

As an aside, it's unclear whether it's because Shukaku has the talent to learn ninjutsu, or because all tailed beasts have the talent to learn ninjutsu but the others don't use it, but apart from Shukaku, the other tailed beasts mostly fight using the skills that come with their own tailed beast bodies and tailed beast balls.

As for Shukaku...

According to clear records of ninjutsu usage, Shukaku has used wind-style ninjutsu.

That's not the point. Maybe Shukaku originally had wind-style chakra, right?

The key point is...

Shukaku knows sealing techniques.

Yes, sealing technique.

Shukaku and Gaara used the Desert Burial Technique together, and its power was far greater than the sealing technique Gaara used against the reanimated Kage during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Sealing techniques can't be something that tailed beasts inherently possess, right?

Many Naruto fans believe that Shukaku learned human ninjutsu because it was the One-Tailed Beast and the weakest of the three.

That's a bit of a stretch, after all...

The two-tailed, three-tailed, and even six-tailed creatures didn't have any particularly impressive achievements.

However, the Nine-Tails is widely recognized as the strongest of the tailed beasts.

Hmm... but it's also related to the Sage of Six Paths' favoritism towards Kurama.

In short, the relationship between the tailed beasts and the village is currently in a honeymoon period.

Moreover, if Gaara's mother hadn't died, the Sand Village under Rasa's control would simply be short of money and wouldn't have any perverted ideas.

After all, each village now has missiles, so theoretically they are not afraid of each other at all.

At worst, we can just self-destruct together.

There's no need to worry about combat strength, so all we need to do is focus on developing the village.

Fortunately, thanks to the Second and Third Kazekage, Sunagakure had a canal, so there was no need to worry too much about the water supply, and Sunagakure truly became an oasis.

With the improved environment, Sunagakure's economy also improved. Then, looking around, apart from Konoha and Kumogakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure's economic conditions were basically the same.

Hmm... Mei Terumi from Kirigakure, who's at the bottom of the rankings, must be crying her eyes out in the bathroom.

Those damn idiots in Kirigakure, why are they fighting amongst themselves all the time?!

After years of internal strife, Kirigakure has developed for over thirty years, but it still hasn't caught up with other villages.

Even the poorest village, Sunagakure, has developed, but the damn Hidden Mist Village is still so poor.

This is actually due to the principle of "one step ahead leads to further advancement" in the capital effect.

During the civil war in Kirigakure, capital flowed out, and other villages reaped the enormous wealth. After the civil war ended in Kirigakure, the capital invested in other villages simply migrated there.

You're from Misty Village?

Even dogs wouldn't go.

In short, that's the general situation. The relationship between the Tailed Beasts and their Jinchuriki is basically in its final stage now.

So, under normal circumstances, there will be no conflict between Jinchūriki.

Even from the village's perspective, the entire ninja world is currently focused on economic development. Everyone is trying to make a little money, and if you don't, your share will be taken by someone else.

This gives the Jinchūriki, who were originally positioned as weapons of war, more freedom.

After Gaara graduated from the Ninja Academy in Sunagakure, because of his status as a Jinchuriki, he didn't team up with other ninjas and instead completed missions alone—okay, that's nonsense. In reality, Rasa carefully calculated that Gaara could complete the mission alone, and with two burdens, a Jonin from Sunagakure wouldn't be necessary, and they would even share the money.

A mission that Gaara couldn't complete alone would most likely be impossible even with others joining in.

Instead of that, why not let Aragaki do the mission alone? When he makes money, I, as his father, can split the profits 20/80, right?

Yes, that makes perfect sense. Gaara doesn't care that his father took 80% of the reward for a mission, since his monthly salary and 20% of the reward are enough for him to live comfortably.

As for his mother...

As the Kazekage, Rasa could still obtain the medicine for Gaara's mother.

Gaara is even less of a problem.

Although the plot is taking a bit strange turns, because Gaara's mother didn't die, causing Gaara to shift towards a mother complex, this Gaara is still more approachable than the Gaara with dark circles under his eyes who was unapproachable.

At least……

Naruto and Gaara like this can have a more open conversation.

Although……

The tailed beasts inside the two were constantly arguing...
