Although the Third Raikage may be a bit stronger than the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, he, like Kushina, is more inclined towards taijutsu (physical combat).

On the contrary, Onoki's Dust Release is difficult to deal with, so it was pre-arranged for him to help Konoha deal with Kumogakure.

"Conditions?! You, a ninja of Konoha, are actually making demands when the village is in crisis?"

Turning to the next room, Xiaochun's expression darkened slightly.

Some of the Jonin, who had a strong sense of belonging to Konoha, also looked rather grim.

Kushina countered, "First of all, I am a ninja of the Uzumaki clan and a citizen of the Land of Whirlpools; secondly, I am only temporarily seeking refuge in Konoha."

Strictly speaking, the people in the village never considered me a comrade, and never acknowledged me as a Konoha ninja.

During my time at the Ninja Academy, I was even attacked by Konoha genin.

After graduation, he was kidnapped by a Jonin from Kumogakure in the village and only escaped with the help of Kurama (the Nine-Tails) at the border.

Now that the village needs me, does that mean I've become a Konoha ninja, a comrade?!

Everyone was speechless when asked the question.

“Since you admit that you came to Konoha to seek refuge, you should also acknowledge Konoha’s protection of you and the village’s nurturing of you. The power you have now comes from the Nine-Tails, and the Nine-Tails belongs to Konoha! Without Konoha, you would have died in the war to destroy the Land of Whirlpools. Without the Nine-Tails, you are nothing.”

Danzo retorted.

"I can't stand what Lord Danzo is saying." Bai Yu suddenly spoke up: "It's true that Konoha protected Kushina, but compared to Konoha's insignificant help to Kushina, how many powerful enemies has the Uzumaki clan helped Konoha resist since the First Shinobi World War?"

And what was the result? The Land of Whirlpools was besieged, but Konoha stood by and watched the Uzumaki clan be annihilated.

If the Land of Whirlpools hadn't fought for Konoha in the first place, it wouldn't have provoked so many enemies.

Even if Konoha doesn't come to our aid, the Land of Whirlpools won't necessarily be destroyed if it doesn't lose a large number of its elite troops. Am I right?

Therefore, under this premise, Konoha has an obligation and responsibility to provide assistance when the Land of Whirlpools is under siege!

In the end, Konoha only brought Kushina back, and she happened to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The other survivors of the Land of Whirlpools, even those who wandered far from home, didn't come to seek refuge in Konoha. Doesn't that speak volumes?

"Yagami Shiraha, you need to understand your position. You are a Konoha ninja!" Mitokado Homura questioned.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Lord Yan didn't refute what I just said, but instead questioned me from his own standpoint. This means that you actually think what I said is right, doesn't it?"

"you!"

Mitomon was speechless for a moment.

"I actually understood my position from the very beginning. I have always stood with Kushina. She wants to rebuild the Uzumaki clan, and I want to help her. It's that simple. That's my position!" Bai Yu's words were powerful and resonant, like a heavy hammer striking everyone's hearts.

"Rebuild the Uzumaki clan?!"

The four high-ranking officials looked surprised.

Kushina's condition was actually to rebuild the Uzumaki clan?

"You want to leave Konoha!?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Kushina in disbelief.

Is it necessary to go to this extent?

And even Bai Yu...

Koharu, the girl from the dormitory, angrily retorted, "Do you know what you're saying? This is blatant betrayal of the village!"

"No, no, no, how can you call this betrayal?!" Bai Yu stretched out his index finger and shook it gently: "Even if Kushina rebuilds the Uzumaki clan, she will still be a staunch ally of Konoha."

She has no intention of rebuilding the country, but only of reuniting the clansmen scattered throughout the ninja world, which is also beneficial to Konoha.

As for me, I will serve as a bridge of friendship between Konoha and the Uzumaki clan, going to the Uzumaki clan to assist Clan Chief Kushina. How can that be called betrayal?!

"That's just sophistry!" Mitokado Homura retorted angrily, "Have you forgotten how Konoha nurtured you? Weren't you cultivated by Konoha?"

"Isn't that unfair?" Bai Yu smiled faintly, looking around at everyone present. "Compared to what Konoha gave me, what I gave back to Konoha is more than ten or a hundred times over. If it weren't for me, Konoha's medical ninjutsu would have taken another twenty years to develop before they could create medical scrolls! Everyone here, even if you yourselves haven't used medical scrolls, can you say that your clansmen haven't used them?"

"The medical scroll is clearly Tsunade's..." Danzo said in a deep voice.

"I was just being modest, saying that I developed the medical scroll using data from the medical class. You don't really think I got lucky, do you? I want to do research quietly and peacefully, because I don't want to be noticed by the Root and undergo your brainwashing training. The village is supposed to keep my affairs a secret, but my bounty has been rising to forty million taels? Why is that?"

Bai Yu interrupted Danzo and questioned him.

"Even so, what about the ownership of the Nine-Tails? The Nine-Tails was captured by the First Hokage, sealed in Lady Mito's body, and then transferred to Kushina's body. You should at least admit that, right?"

Koharu, turning to her new room, suddenly changed the subject.

Bai Yu smiled slightly: "That's simple, the ownership of the Nine-Tails is naturally up to it to decide!"

"You decide for yourself?!"

Everyone was taken aback by what they heard.

boom--!

A suffocatingly violent aura emanated from the center of the conference table, and terrifying chakra swept through the entire conference room.

All of this was caused by a miniature nine-tailed fox that was no more than one meter tall.

Its appearance is adorable and endearing; if there are children around, they would definitely want to hug it and squish it.

However, the ninjas didn't see it that way. The terrifying chakra emanating from the Nine-Tails formed gusts of wind that rushed towards them!

The four high-ranking officials, along with all the Jonin present, stared at Kurama with wary expressions.

Nine-Tails half-squatted on the conference table, head held high, looking down at everyone, and coldly said:

"My destiny is for me to decide!"

At this moment, everyone noticed that despite the Nine-Tails emitting such terrifying chakra, the conference table remained completely undamaged.

What terrifying chakra control!

Is this the Nine-Tails, the strongest and most terrifying of the nine tailed beasts?

"Nine Lama, tell me yourself, who do you want to go with?"

Bai Yu said with a smile.

Nine-Tailed Fox glared at Bai Yu, seemingly annoyed by his nagging.

Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, the Nine-Tailed Fox leaped into the air.

"Watch out!" The Jonin were on high alert, protecting their clan leaders or standing guard in front of the higher-ups. If they weren't afraid of angering the Nine-Tails, they probably would have already attacked.

Kushina opened her arms and caught the mini-Nine-Tails steadily, holding it in her arms and gently stroking it.

The Nine-Tails bared its teeth in disgust, but considering the matter at hand, it didn't resist. It nestled in Kushina's arms and looked at the crowd.

"I want to leave Konoha with Kushina. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

"..."

The room fell silent.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The Jonin didn't dare to breathe.

They wanted to object, but faced with the Nine-Tails' questioning, who dared to stand up and try?

"Even if you say that, we still..." Koharu Utatane was halfway through her sentence when Kurama glared at her, and her whole body froze.

Jonin from major clans like the Hyuga and Uchiha all took a few steps back.

There's no need to fight the Nine-Tails to the death.

The higher-ups can represent Konoha, but they are not the same as Konoha.

"Just because Hashirama caught me, does that mean I belong to Konoha? If Madara hadn't ambushed me back then, would I have lost to Hashirama? Otherwise, call Hashirama out now, and I'll confront him personally!"

Otherwise, I'll either kill you or you'll kill me?

Then...it will be resurrected in a few years!

A fierce glint flashed in the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes.

Everyone was speechless for a moment. If the First Hokage were really here, Kurama probably wouldn't dare to say that.

The key point is that the first generation has been dead for more than 20 years, so how could he possibly be resurrected?

"Kushina, calm down. The matter of rebuilding the Uzumaki clan is negotiable. The Nine-Tails will naturally belong to you," Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly.

If a major battle breaks out with the Nine-Tails here, even if the Nine-Tails is eventually sealed, there will be no other Jinchuriki to choose from. Furthermore, if they start fighting amongst themselves now, Konoha will be finished.

"Nine Lama, did you hear that? I told you the Third Hokage was a reasonable person, didn't I?"

Kushina smiled and patted Kurama's head.

"How many times have I told you, don't touch my head! Ugh!"

The nine-tailed fox was furious, but it still obediently returned to the sealed space.

Seeing that Kurama listened to Kushina so much, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just like Bai Yu said, I helped Konoha through this crisis, and Konoha let Bai Yu and me leave."

We will rebuild the Uzumaki clan and form an alliance with Konoha.

If Konoha faces another crisis in the future, as allies, we will not stand idly by.

"Of course, if you don't agree, then I'm afraid I'm powerless to wage this war."

Kushina gazed at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a resolute expression.

"I... agree to your terms."

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his answer with great difficulty, and he seemed to have aged considerably in an instant.

“Hiruzen, you…” The three high-ranking officials dared not speak out, for fear of angering Kushina.

"I will take full responsibility."

"Then thank you very much, Third Hokage. I will keep my promise. Leave the Third Raikage to me!"
