Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

He sensed something was wrong. When she saw Sasuke, she wasn't as excited as before. Although she was still excited, her emotions weren't as strong as he had expected.

Furthermore, since he kept hearing Sakura mention Yu Ming's name along the way, he knew that Sakura might have feelings for Yu Ming.

On the bright side, however, Yu Ming doesn't seem to have any feelings for Sakura at all.

This is the best possible outcome so far.

Minato Namikaze was more concerned about Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

Looking at Kurama, he said, "Ku-Tails, you just said you were willing to cooperate with Naruto?"

Nine-Tails calmly stated, "That guy forced me to do it; otherwise, I wouldn't have cooperated with him."

Minato Namikaze didn't care about any of that. As long as Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was willing to communicate with Naruto, he would definitely acknowledge Naruto.

He had a lot of confidence in Naruto.

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "As long as you're willing to cooperate, I believe Naruto can definitely gain your approval. I believe in him."

Nine-Tails didn't answer, and pretended to be asleep with its eyes closed.

Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Naruto continued talking for a while before disappearing.

When Minato Namikaze sealed it, he only sealed a small portion of the soul's power inside. Of course, his chakra reserves could only support that much of the power.

After Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki disappeared, Naruto finally learned about his origins.

"It turns out my father was the Fourth Hokage, and my mother was a very gentle person."

Hearing Naruto's words, Kurama didn't say anything, but the slight twitching at the corner of its mouth showed that it was speechless.

Is Kushina Uzumaki a gentle person?

If Nine-Tailed Fox said this, he thought people would laugh their heads off.

Yu Ming, who was outside, naturally had no idea what was happening in Naruto's consciousness space.

I don't want to know.

After releasing Naruto from the seal, Yu Ming smiled and said, "Now that the seal is released, Naruto doesn't need to worry about Kurama going berserk anymore. However, sometimes your emotions can trigger Kurama's chakra to go berserk, which Kurama can't control. The reason is that your physique is not yet able to adapt to Kurama's chakra."

"You need to train rigorously until your body is completely adapted to the Nine-Tails' chakra. At that time, even if you lose your temper, the Nine-Tails' chakra will not go berserk."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes, Yu Ming, I will definitely not let you down."

Yu Ming sat back down and laughed, "You don't need to say that. Aren't you trying to surpass Sasuke? You're no match for him now, but once you master the Nine-Tails' chakra, he won't be your match anymore."

"Even if he has the Sharingan, it's useless; even if he awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's useless."

As long as Naruto can match the Nine-Tails' chakra, once he unleashes the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, or even Kurama Mode, Sasuke will be no match for Naruto before he awakens the Rinnegan.

If Naruto were to successfully master Sage Mode, Sasuke would be no match for him unless he fully awakened the Rinnegan.

Chapter 263 So what if I'm a little shorter?

The immense strength that Yu Ming displayed at this moment truly terrified Sai, who was seeing Yu Ming for the first time.

Even the Nine-Tails could be persuaded. As for how Yu Ming persuaded him, Sai knew without even thinking that he must have taken action.

I heard last time that Yu Ming subdued Naruto who had fully transformed into the Nine-Tails in Sunagakure and resealed the Nine-Tails back into Naruto's body.

This time, when he went to find Sasuke with Naruto, he witnessed just how terrifying Naruto's strength was after he went completely berserk. What's more, at that time, Naruto had only unleashed five tails.

It's already so powerful with only five tails; how terrifying would it be if it were to fully transform into a nine-tailed fox?

And the Nine-Tails, so powerful that it was like a natural disaster, actually agreed to cooperate with Naruto under Yu Ming's threat.

Even after Yu Ming broke the seal, the Nine-Tails did not go berserk. This strength was worthy of all the rumors he had heard about Yu Ming.

Tsunade looked at Naruto and said, "For the time being, just follow the training plan that Yu Ming gave you. I hope you can withstand the chakra of the Nine-Tails as soon as possible."

Naruto nodded, looked at Tsunade and Yu Ming, and said, "Grandma Tsunade, Yu Ming, I will definitely train hard and be able to withstand the power of the Nine-Tails."

Tsunade nodded, and Naruto and the others went out.

Only Tsunade and Yu Ming remained in the Hokage's room.

Tsunade looked at Yu Ming and asked with some curiosity, "How did you persuade Kurama?"

Sitting in his seat, Yu Ming leaned back in his chair and laughed, "The first time, I beat it up. The second time, I threatened it by saying that the Akatsuki was collecting tailed beasts. The thing the Akatsuki is collecting tailed beasts is called the Gedo Mazo, which can only be summoned by those with the Rinnegan."

"The purpose of this Gedo Mazo is to erase the consciousness of the tailed beasts and turn them back into a pure mass of chakra. Kurama is also afraid of being captured by the Akatsuki and turning into a pure mass of chakra, so it must increase Naruto's strength in a short period of time."

"The best way is actually to let Naruto completely master its chakra."

"It's not that we can't communicate with Nine-Tailed Fox, it's just that people used to keep their distance from him."

"However, in the past, both Lady Mito Uzumaki and Lady Kushina had absolute power to suppress the Nine-Tails. Now Naruto is different. If he cannot gain the Nine-Tails' approval, he cannot safely use the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Hearing this, Tsunade nodded. In the past, both Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki had indeed kept their distance from the Nine-Tails.

They never thought of communicating with the Nine-Tails, so in the past they could only use the Nine-Tails' chakra, but could not coexist harmoniously with the Nine-Tails.

Therefore, they can only reach the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode at most, but cannot reach the Kurama Mode.

The two models differ greatly in strength.

Looking at Yu Ming, Tsunade sighed, "It's a good thing I made you my bodyguard back then. If I had let you wander around the village, I doubt you would have taken action in many things."

Yu Ming smiled and said, "No, it won't happen."

Tsunade didn't trust Yu Ming. Given his personality, as long as he wasn't bothered, Yu Ming wouldn't do something like helping Naruto and Kurama communicate.

Tsunade looked at Yu Ming with some confusion and asked, "What do you think Akatsuki's purpose is? What are they collecting the Tailed Beasts for?"

Yu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's to create a terrifying weapon. The most destructive weapon in the ninja world is the tailed beast. If they collect all the tailed beasts, then they will have the most powerful weapon in the ninja world, and they will have a huge advantage in the war."

"That's probably why."

Tsunade thought about it and realized that this explanation didn't seem very good. But were there any other explanations?

Even Tsunade herself couldn't have guessed that the Anbu were currently gathering intelligence on the Akatsuki organization.

However, all members of the Akatsuki organization were extremely powerful, and the Anbu (Anbu) were unable to investigate them thoroughly.

The situation in the ninja world is not good right now. The tailed beasts of each village will become targets of the Akatsuki organization, and this move by the Akatsuki may even trigger a ninja world war.

It's just that people have been at peace for over a decade and don't want to start a war.

Tsunade stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the peaceful scene in Konoha. "I really don't know how long this peace can last."

Seeing Tsunade's worried expression, Yu Ming thought for a moment, stood up, walked to her side, leaned against the window, and looked out at the scenery as well. "I will not let Konoha become worse."

Tsunade turned to look at Yu Ming, whose calm demeanor made her smile slightly.

He reached out and grasped Yu Ming's hand, which was resting on the windowsill.

The warmth of her hands calmed Tsunade's heart.

She was under a lot of pressure during this period. Things were happening all over the ninja world, and many of them were major incidents.

Furthermore, it involves the Jinchūriki (human spirit), and she would feel very guilty if she didn't handle it well.

Although she said she didn't want to become Hokage before, it was actually because two of the most important people in her life died because they wanted to become Hokage.

Now that she has become Hokage, she must shoulder the heavy responsibility of developing the entire village.

However, without Yu Ming, she really didn't know how to resolve those issues.

Whether it's the Oni clan, Naruto's complete Nine-Tails transformation, or even the matter of the demons, if it weren't for Yu Ming, she really didn't know who in Konoha could solve these problems.

During this time, Yu Ming helped me a lot. Although he was called the Hokage's bodyguard, he actually did the Hokage's work.

Currently, when Konoha encounters Kage-level or even stronger opponents, they can only rely on Yu Ming to resolve the situation, as no one else has the strength to intervene.

Sensing Tsunade's movement, Yu Ming glanced at her and smiled, "Feeling a lot of pressure?"

Tsunade laughed and said, "It is indeed very big, but because of you, it seems that you have taken on most of the pressure."

Yu Ming joked, "Who told me to be taller than you? If the sky falls, I'll be the one to hold it up."

Yu Ming is now 1.8 meters tall, which can be described as quite imposing.

Tsunade is only about 1.63 meters tall, reaching only up to Yu Ming's shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately realized that Yu Ming was teasing her.

"You're saying I'm too short again, aren't you?"

Yu Ming smiled.

But looking at Tsunade's face and figure, what does it matter if she's a little short?

Because of Yu Ming's existence, Tsunade wasn't worried about what kind of crisis Konoha would face in the future. What she was worried about was that once Akatsuki had collected all the Tailed Beasts, it would trigger a Fourth Shinobi World War.

This is the last thing Konoha wants to happen right now.

Although Konoha's overall strength has recovered somewhat, and with Yu Ming present, they are able to remain undefeated.

However, if a Fourth Shinobi World War were to occur, it would definitely weaken Konoha's overall strength.

This is the last thing Tsunade wanted to see.

Chapter 264 Someone Stole the Corpse

Therefore, Tsunade's friendship with Sunagakure was simply to ensure good communication between the two villages and prevent the conflict from escalating into a full-blown ninja war.

Tsunade looked at the village outside for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think if we had a child, would he/she inherit our best qualities? Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Yu Ming was stunned; he had never expected Tsunade to ask such a question.

Under Yu Ming's gaze, Tsunade felt a little embarrassed and said, "I don't know if it's because I'm getting old, but I just want a child."

Yu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a few more years until the situation stabilizes."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Fortunately, you gave me that bullet, which restored my physical abilities to the level of my twenties. However, I am indeed quite old, so my thinking is a little unable to keep up with you."

Yu Ming could sense that Tsunade was somewhat worried.

Although her body was that of a young person, her mind was not.

Just like when Yu Ming first transmigrated to this world, although he looked like a child, his mindset was not that of a child at all.

Therefore, Tsunade's mindset is already that of someone in their fifties, and that cannot be changed.

It's normal to want a child when you get older.

It wouldn't have mattered if she didn't have someone she liked before, but now she has become Yu Ming's de facto wife.
