Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 454 You're not looking for a son-in-law for yourself, are you?

However, it's surprising that this tailed beast is so quiet and docile.

Moreover, there was no sign of manipulation in his eyes, which is illogical.

"Hey, who's your pet? Explain yourself."

When Go-Tails heard Aokiji compare him to a pet, he immediately became unhappy and loudly retorted.

Aokiji chuckled awkwardly: "Just kidding, why are you taking it so seriously?"

"snort."

The surrounding villagers, witnessing this scene, discussed it amongst themselves.

How come this tailed beast is so different from what we remember? Logically, shouldn't it be causing chaos like the Nine-Tails?

As more and more villagers gathered, Aokiji ordered his men to disperse them and make room for Go-O to walk.

Aokiji temporarily placed the Five-Tails in the Uchiha clan's former remote territory.

Hokage's office

"Hokage-sama, are you really going to keep the Tailed Beasts in the village?"

Nara Shikaku already knew the general outline of what had happened with the Five-Tails, but he was still very worried.

Aokiji, holding nail clippers, leisurely trimmed his nails: "What does it matter? Can't you see how docile it is?"

"But……"

"Don't worry, the Five-Tailed Beast is my summoning beast now, it won't do anything reckless."

"A summoned beast?"

"Yes, I've already signed a contract with him. Once the villagers get used to the Five-Tails, I'll make him the village's guardian beast."

"A village guardian beast?"

Nara Shikaku was stunned by Aokiji's extravagant gesture. The word conjured up a vivid image in his mind, a picture of grandeur.

Aokiji laughed and said, "Don't you think this is amazing?"

"It's impressive, but..."

"Don't worry, I understand the Tailed Beasts. They are not as brutal as humans imagine. I will take responsibility if anything happens."

Since Aokiji was determined to do so, Nara Shikaku no longer tried to dissuade him.

Nara Shikaku remained in the same spot, refusing to leave. Aokiji, out of curiosity, asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else you need to do?"

"N-nothing."

Tsunade hasn't been in the village these past few days, and given what happened, Nara Shikaku is quite clever; he's probably figured something out. But this is a family matter for the leader, so it's not appropriate to ask.

After Nara Shikaku left, Aokiji was left alone in the Hokage's office. He spun around in his chair, muttering to himself, "It's about time I went to find Tsunade..."

Uchiha clan.

Five-Tails lay on the ground, opened its eyes, and glanced at the ground: "Kid, how long do you plan to keep watching?"

"Haha, we've been found out."

Naruto scratched his head and made a face with an embarrassed smile.

The young woman beside her scolded, "I told you not to come any closer."

"I'm sorry, Mom, uh... Auntie."

Naruto obediently apologized.

Kushina sized up the Five-Tails; she had already learned a general idea about it from the villagers' casual conversation.

Aokiji somehow acquired the Five-Tails and kept it in the village as a pet, leaving everyone speechless.

Kushina thought back to her time as a Jinchūriki and felt a pang of sadness.

What a joke! How can this Five-Tails swagger into the village like that?

An annoyed voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

It was indeed the Nine-Tailed Fox.

He was still stuck inside the Jinchūriki's body, while the Five-Tails was already wandering around outside, which made him feel very unbalanced.

Five-Tails looked at Naruto and sensed the Nine-Tails' aura from him. He narrowed his blue eyes and realized, "So, this kid is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki."

"Hey kid, come here and hold out your hand."

Naruto paused for a moment. Perhaps because he was a Jinchuriki, he wasn't particularly afraid of the Nine-Tails and approached the Five-Tails.

Kushina called out Naruto's name worriedly from behind.

"It's okay, he won't hurt me..."

Naruto looked back and said.

Wuwei looked surprised; this brat in front of him wasn't afraid of him at all.

It was just an impromptu remark, but he didn't expect Naruto to dare to get close. Apart from Aokiji, this was the first time he saw a human being not afraid of him.

Unlike Aokiji, who was very confident, this child in front of him seemed to be the kind of person who was purely innocent.

The Nine-Tails' jinchūriki is quite interesting... The Five-Tails stretched out its hoof and touched Naruto's outstretched hand, forming a spiritual connection.

The Five-Tails saw the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.

Before he could say much, the Nine-Tails, having long harbored resentment, probably saw that the Five-Tails could roam around outside. It was the first to shout loudly: "Five-Tails, you've sided with humans, haven't you? Where's your backbone as a tailed beast?"

"Say what you want, I'm free now."

Five-Tails made a sarcastic remark, then cunningly withdrew from the spiritual world, leaving Nine-Tails Five-Tails as a target for its venting.

They ran away?

Nine-Tails was furious. The Five-Tails in front of it was just deliberately showing off and mocking them.

Naruto blinked his blue eyes: "You know Kurama?"

"I guess so..."

The Five-Tails is known for its gentle nature among the tailed beasts, and having been trained by Aokiji, its temperament is even more amiable compared to the Nine-Tails.

Seeing Naruto and the Five-Tails getting along peacefully, Kushina breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her worries were unnecessary.

Technology Development Bureau.

Aokiji brought back the chakra about the Five-Tails and Four-Tails this time and gave it to Orochimaru for him to study.

He now possesses the chakra of the Six-Tails, Five-Tails, and Four-Tails, and is considering whether he can artificially integrate these chakra into one.

Orochimaru handed over a document: "This is the medical report of the child you brought back last time."

Aokiji took it and glanced at it; it was Kimimaro's medical condition report.

"Although it's just the beginning, it's still difficult to eliminate with current medical methods. You'd better bring Tsunade back as soon as possible."

Aokiji nodded.

Kimimaro's illness stems from his powerful bloodline limit. Even if Tsunade eliminates the source of the disease, Kimimaro's illness will relapse at any time if he uses this technique.

Without this bloodline limit, Kimimaro's strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

"Let's inject him with that stuff when he's a bit older," Aokiji suggested, referring to Hashirama cells.

Orochimaru was a smart man, and he immediately understood: "Oh, that is indeed a good method."

After a brief exchange, Aokiji went to the school to visit Kimimaro and offer his condolences.

In the past few days, Kimimaro has been enrolled in the Ninja Academy. Although he is a transfer student, he has become the strongest student in the Ninja Academy in no time due to his outstanding strength.

Aokiji rebuilt a ninja school and named it University, replacing the old one with Elementary School.

Aoji thought to himself that when the new school is built next year, Kimimaro can be directly arranged to enter.

At school, Kimimaro saw Aokiji return to see him, and immediately ran over with a smile on his face.

Aokiji gently patted Kimimaro's head and asked warmly, "How are you getting along with your classmates?"

Kimimaro said somewhat shyly, "I guess it's alright..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a group of little girls appeared out of nowhere, their eyes sparkling with hearts, screaming Kimimaro's name.

Aokiji laughed, "Looks like you're more popular than I expected."

Kimimaro was handsome and very strong, so it was natural that he was popular with the girls at school.

Of course, this is on the premise that Kimimaro did not use his bloodline limit, as pulling out bones from his body would be too terrifying.

Regarding this, Aokiji specifically stated, "I didn't misuse my abilities, did I?"

Kimimaro shook his head.

"Your abilities are rather special; do not use them without my permission."

"Yes……"

Kimimaro nodded obediently, understanding Aokiji's meaning.

The environment he is in now is completely different from the one he was in in the past. The children here all have smiles on their faces and are friendly to others, especially girls.

Kimimaro did not want to lose this hard-won happiness.

"Godfather, I'm free tonight. I learned to cook from Aunt Hina, and I'd like to..."

Hina is Hyuga Hizashi's wife, in other words, Hinata's mother.

These days, Aokiji has been dealing with the Five-Tails' affairs. He originally wanted to entrust Kimimaro to the Fugaku family for care, but unexpectedly, Hyuga Hizashi heard about it and offered to take care of Kimimaro himself.

According to him, the Kaguya clan is a distant blood relative of the Hyuga clan, similar to how the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan belong to the Ashura lineage.

It was for this reason that Hyuga Hizashi volunteered to take care of the only heir of the Kaguya clan.

Given his special relationship with Kimimaro, and considering Kimimaro's obvious talent, Aokiji even wondered if Hyuga Hizashi's proactive approach was to choose a son-in-law for him...

Hyuga Hizashi intends to break the long-standing shackles of the Hyuga clan, but such things must be done slowly. Taking too big a step could easily lead to problems. The Hyuga clan has strict family rules and generally does not allow unauthorized marriages, but Kimimaro's special identity is undoubtedly a good starting point.

If it turns out to be a ghost, maybe there will be a wave of atavism.

The more Aokiji thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Kimimaro wanted to cook for him, showing his filial piety. Aokiji couldn't bear to refuse and was about to nod in agreement when a jet-black crow flew in from the sky. It was very conspicuous and not afraid of people. It landed on Aokiji's shoulder, its bird brain turning and its eyes darting around.

Aokiji noticed a letter wrapped around his leg, indicating it was a message from Itachi. He untied the rope, glanced at it, and learned of Tsunade's whereabouts. He then prepared to set off for her.

"Forgive me, Kimimaro, maybe next time..."

Aokiji gently poked Kimimaro's forehead with his finger. "I have something to take care of."

A blush appeared on Kimimaro's clear face, and she lowered her head like a girl.

When he looked up, Aokiji had vanished, with only a few scattered snowflakes proving that the man had been there.
