Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 543 Information Sharing, Speculation

"Watergate?!"

Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze with a surprised expression.

Clearly, Minato Namikaze was unaware of this decision even before he made it.

Tachibana Kanagawa could understand Jiraiya's surprise.

There's a reason why most Jinchūriki are trained from a young age.

Not all tailed beasts are as easy to talk to as the Three-Tails Chifu, which can freely choose an adult as its jinchūriki.

Even the Six-Tailed Saiken, whose personality is considered quite good among the nine tailed beasts, can only be raised by selecting suitable individuals from children because its chakra has an extremely strong corrosive nature, so that the body can gradually adapt to the power of the tailed beast during the growth process.

Not only is the Nine-Tails short-tempered, but its chakra nature is also the most violent among the nine tailed beasts.

In the original work, Minato Namikaze was able to play a role as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Jianchuan Ju guessed that it was mostly because he was an immortal body resurrected by Edo Tensei at that time, and the other half of the Nine-Tails had been influenced by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, which is why he did not suffer a backlash.

But the Nine-Tails nowadays.

Even with only half a body, it wouldn't be impossible for Minato Namikaze to forcibly become a Jinchūriki, if not impossible.

However, Minato Namikaze seems quite determined about this matter.

First, Jiraiya shook his head slightly before explaining.

"I cannot agree to Naruto becoming a Jinchūriki. Moreover, given the current situation, Konoha urgently needs the power of the Nine-Tails to replenish its fighting strength. It is impossible to continue waiting for a new Jinchūriki to slowly grow up."

Jiraiya could certainly understand the second half of Minato Namikaze's statement.

Although the Third Shinobi World War has ended, the Zero Organization is facing a crisis, and it is indeed necessary to make use of every bit of its strength.

He had originally planned to propose later that Tsunade, who had given up her identity as a ninja, be brought back to Konoha.

However, Minato Namikaze's statement, "Make Naruto a Jinchūriki," is incorrect.

Jiraiya's eyes were slightly cold.

"Was it that bastard Danzo who made the suggestion?!"

Minato Namikaze remained silent upon hearing this, but the answer was already self-evident.

Seeing this, Jiraiya felt a surge of anger, but in the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

Is there a problem with Danzo Shimura proposing that Naruto Uzumaki become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

As the only person in Konoha who currently possesses half of the Uzumaki clan's physique, and being a newborn baby, Naruto is arguably the most suitable candidate to be the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Moreover, Naruto's father, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, is still alive.

This aligns with the policy advocated by various ninja villages, which binds the Jinchuriki to the Kage.

Danzo's actions can even be described as altruistic, as they not only ensured the stability of the Jinchuriki but also selflessly enhanced the strength of the Hokage lineage.

From any perspective, it will not be criticized by others.

But

Minato Namikaze as a father.

With the threat of the Zero Organization, which covets the existence of the Tailed Beasts, presenting him with the choice to use himself as a target in place of his son, Jiraiya could find no reason to refuse.

"well"

"Let's discuss this later."

After letting out a helpless sigh, Jiraiya could only choose to avoid the topic for now and instead looked at Tachibana Kenkawa beside him.

"Lord Mizukage, you are now aware of everything that happened in Konoha tonight. What about the new information you mentioned earlier?"

Tachibana Kanagawa glanced at Minato Namikaze, who had an equally earnest expression, and slowly began to speak.

"What? Orochimaru??"

Jiraiya looked at Tachibana Kanagawa with disbelief.

"That's right, not just Orochimaru, but also the rogue ninja from Sunagakure, Sasori of the Red Sand."

"On my way back from the last Five Kage Summit, these two people, acting as members of the Zero Organization, intercepted me."

Although Orochimaru was a rogue ninja of Konoha and was somewhat acquainted with Minato Namikaze, he was different from Jiraiya, his former close partner. Therefore, Minato Namikaze remained relatively calm at this moment and instead raised another question.

"Even with your strength, Lord Mizukage, you can't confront them head-on, nor can you capture them on the spot?"

After all, he was his teacher's former teammate, so Minato Namikaze ultimately didn't say the word "kill" outright.

However, Minato Namikaze had a fairly good understanding of the strength of Orochimaru and Tachibana Uchigawa.

It's hard to imagine that the other party was able to escape unscathed from Tachibana Kenkawa.

This time, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't explicitly mention the "cooperation" he had discussed with Orochimaru; instead, he simply explained the existence of the "Transformation Technique."

"There are actually such evil ninjutsu techniques?"

After regaining his senses, Jiraiya murmured in disbelief.

The existence of the "Transformation Technique" will undoubtedly make dealing with the Zero Organization even more difficult.

If the other side truly intends not to expose themselves, as long as they keep sending out "Shadow Reincarnation Clone" clones to fight, even if the five great ninja villages kill their members countless times, they will not cause too much damage to the Zero Organization.

Ignoring Jiraiya's shock, Tachibana Kenkawa instead added fuel to the fire.

"Not only Orochimaru and Sasori, but tonight on my way to Konoha to provide support, I encountered another female member of the Zero Organization. Hmm, and she also used the Transformation Technique."

"The opponent also possesses both the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release abilities!"

"I suspect that this attacker is the same person who attacked Sunagakure before!"

Even Minato Namikaze, who had been relatively calm, started to lose his composure.

Currently, this so-called "zero organization" has only eight members who have been exposed.

result.

The man who claims to be Madara Uchiha and possesses both the Rinnegan and Sharingan, Orochimaru, an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha, has now been replaced by a woman who possesses both the Sharingan and Wood Release.

Three out of the eight people have some connection with Konoha.

"This...this..."

Faced with this situation, neither Minato Namikaze nor Jiraiya knew how to explain it for a moment.

Jianchuan Ju glanced at the two of them, and as if to prove the credibility of her words, she spoke again.

"The location where I encountered that female Uchiha was within the Land of Fire, between the Land of Hot Springs and Konoha."

Jianchuan Ju accurately reported the location of the previous battle, shrugged somewhat nonchalantly, and continued.

"The scale of the battle was not small. Whether it's the remaining traces or the villagers near the Land of Fire, they should be able to confirm it. If you two don't believe me, you can send someone to check it out yourselves."

Seeing Tachibana's attitude of letting Konoha investigate at will, Minato Namikaze immediately thought of the corpses of "Little Red" and "Little Yellow" still lying in Konoha's intelligence squad.

My headache suddenly worsened.

However, Minato Namikaze frowned slightly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he looked at Tachibana Kanagawa with some disbelief.

"Kumakuza Village?!"
