"What I want is a peaceful life.”
Under the bright night sky, Weasel and Payne sat around the campfire. The atmosphere looked very harmonious. It was completely different from the simple contest between the two of them an hour ago that had directly destroyed a forest.
"The relationship between the village and the clan is getting worse and worse, so between the village and the clan, I chose the village. I don't want to break the beauty and peace of the village.”Uchiha Weitake slowly narrated the revised incident to the two of them, trying to use the ideas that both of them agreed with to compile the entire incident.
"Don't you regret it?" Xiao Nan said. From the moment they met until now, her cold face revealed a hint of complexity. The tenacity of this boy in front of her was even stronger than she had imagined.
He had to bear all the sins just to maintain the beauty and peace of the village. He was even willing to abandon his family. What kind of…weirdo was he?
Payne didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
However, Nagato, who was far away in the Country of Rain, had mixed feelings. The person in front of him reminded him of his childhood companion, who was also the main body of Tendo Payne, Yaehiko.
However, compared to the warm and cheerful Yaehiko, Itachi's thoughts were more mature and responsible.
Nagato had always felt that Yahiko's death was due to his naivety. If not for his naivety, perhaps everything would have changed. Their dreams might have even come true. With his eyes and Yahiko's leadership ability, they could definitely change the world!
"I believe what you said about peace is true.”Weasel did not answer Little Nan's question. Although the question was not the same, Weasel did not regret becoming a spy in order to maintain the relationship between the village and the family.
"So you agree to become one of us?”Payne asked.
"I can join you, but I have a condition in exchange.”Weasel looked at the two of them and said," We can't attack Muye, or rather, we can't affect Muye's situation."”
"Impossible." Payne shook his head." Since we want to achieve peace, we can't exclude Muye from the plan. Moreover, Muye has someone we urgently need in our plan.”
There was one more thing that Changmen did not make clear. The person who killed his brother was in Muye. When the time was right, he would definitely go to Muye and kill that old man.
Seeing Payne's firm reply, Weasel thought for a while and added,""We can't mess with Muye. If you really want to attack Muye, please do it after I die.”
"If you don't die, won't our plan be put on hold?”Xiao Nan asked with a frown.
Weasel opened his Shura Eye, and the two people opposite him thought that he was going to attack again and quickly retreated. However, they heard his explanation,"My eyes have used up all of their power, and they will start to consume my life force. If nothing unexpected happens, I might only have a few years left to live.”
Although the Kaleidoscope Sharunan was powerful, it also had a considerable burden. However, perhaps it was because different kaleidoscopes had different abilities, and the corresponding side effects were different.
Unlike Uchiha who would lose his sight after using up all his power, Itachi could feel that as he used the eye technique in the kaleidoscope, his vision was not affected much. Instead, it was a considerable burden on his body.
It was only his first time using the Fire of Amaterasu, but he could already feel the fatigue in his body.
He would first delay for a few years, and then he would transplant his Shurun Eye to Sasuke to help him activate the eternal kaleidoscope Shurun Eye. Even if Pei En had the eyes of the Six Paths Immortal, Kiba might still have a chance, and he would have retired successfully.
Feeling the determination in Uchiha Itachi's words, perhaps because Itachi's thoughts reminded Nagato of Yaehiko, Payne slowly said,""I promise that I won't do anything to Mu Ye before you die, but in exchange, you have to work for me and the organization.”
Baijue, who was watching from a distance, chuckled."This kid is really loyal to Mu Ye, unlike someone else.”
"Shut up!"
Uchiha said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he looked at Uchiha Weitake, who was negotiating with Payne, with a complicated expression.
The person who recommended Itachi as a member of the Akatsuki organization was Daido. He was also a member of the Uchiha clan, and through Baijue, he had found out that Itachi might have awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharinyan, so Daido recommended it to Pei En.
However, since he had been recommended, he naturally had to come and observe the process of sending the invitation.
"However, this kid is quite ruthless. He doesn't care about his own clan's feelings at all, just like you back then.”Baijue was still grinning, but the man in question knew who he was referring to.
"Shut up!"
It was as if he had touched a sore spot. Dai Tu turned his head and stared at Bai Jue with murderous eyes. The kaleidoscope under his mask spun rapidly, and the surrounding space seemed to change with his roar.
"Stop talking." Hei Jue couldn't stand this guy who had a bad mouth, so he suppressed Bai Jue and didn't let him speak.
Compared to the naive and adorable Bai Jue, Hei Jue was a bit cold, and didn't even look at the Uzhi Wave Weasel.
"It's a pity that you just came out from the Water Country. If you had caught up with this guy's plan, you might have been able to take a few of the Sharunyan.”" You've been using your ability frequently during the time in the Water Country. I can already feel that your body is not as strong as before.”
"I'm fine."
Uchiha took a deep breath to calm down the killing intent in his heart." With the cells between the columns, the consumption of the kaleidoscope ability is not a problem for the time being.”
Recently, he had indeed felt the burden on his body increase, accompanied by severe discomfort. It made him extremely tired and he had to stop and rest from time to time.
"Let's leave the matter of Uchiha Weasel to him for now. The Nine-Tailed Beast is the largest of the Nine-Tailed Beasts, so it won't be easy to capture it.”Uchiha shifted his gaze away from Itachi and said," For the time being, we can awaken the power of the Outer Path Golem by capturing other tailed beasts. It will be easier to extract the nine tails.”
"Recently, the various countries have been in chaos. We can take advantage of this opportunity to capture the tail beasts ahead of time. Be careful not to let the Zhangmen know that we started the war.”
"Got it." Black Jue and the mute Bai Jue melted into the ground.
He glanced at Weitake and Payne, who had already come to an agreement, and left with Earth.
…………
"Impossible!" Kong shouted at Tuan Zang.
In the canyon, Tuan Zang was sitting on a rock. Opposite him was the incredulous Kong.
" That's the truth. Your father is a wanted criminal of the Fire Nation and was once one of the Twelve Protectors of the Daimyo. He lost his position after his attempt to assassinate the third Naruto was exposed. The reason why you became demonized was because your father used you as a tool to destroy Muye. During the Nine-Tailed Rebellion, he took the opportunity to collect Chakra, which was used to collect the Tailed Beasts, and sealed it in your body to nurture it.”
"After the matter was exposed, the six famous guards led by your father hurriedly launched a coup, but because it was rushed, they were quickly defeated and died. The other five guards that your father bewitched had already died, and he was lucky enough to escape. Originally, we thought that this matter would pass.”
" However, I recently found out that your father is still alive and is planning to stage another coup in the Country of Fire. You are one of his chips.”
Tuan Zang said as he looked at Kong's incredulous face.
Kazuma had already started contacting the daimyo, and the daimyo had also begun to prepare for a new round of coup plans. However, due to the chaos in Ninja Realm, Danzou guessed that they would not take action so soon.
However, the group trove would not give them time to finish preparing. If they waited until they were ready to launch a coup and attack Mu Ye, it would be quite troublesome to end it.
He planned to use Kong to force them to act as soon as possible.
" That's impossible…" Kong shook his head and said with a dazed look in his eyes.
He didn't care about the Fire Country, Muye, or any other plans. What Kong cared about was how cold his father was to him when he heard what Tuan Zang had said.
He didn't even treat him as a person, but as a tool.
"What about you?"
After a short moment of blankness, Kong's mind suddenly recalled something."As the son of a sinner, I have such an important power. What is your purpose in coming? Take me away and not let that guy find me, or kill me?”
As he spoke, he kept staring into Tuan Zang's eyes.
However, he was not as vigilant as before and was ready to escape at any time. After a short exchange, he was already very clear that the other party's strength or identity would not allow him to escape easily. He had also given up on running away, which was a waste of energy.
"In this meaningless battle, you are the most innocent victim. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you.”Danzang shook his head and said," Although you think you are the son of a sinner, you should know your father's character after listening to my description. Although he gave birth to you, he did not fulfill his corresponding obligations. Do you still recognize him as your father?”
Kong was stunned. He was a little surprised that Tuan Zang would let him go. However, he clenched his fists and did not answer his father's evaluation. Instead, he said,"These are just your personal words. You have no evidence to make me believe you.”
Although he was young, his independence from a young age made him much more mature than ordinary children, just like Naruto.
"Who said I don't have evidence?" Tuan Zang smiled and looked at him." Time is the best evidence. Sooner or later, your father will come into contact with you again. At that time, you will naturally know whether what I said is true or false.”
The seed in his heart had already been planted. Regardless of whether Kazuma had no feelings for his son like in the original novel, as long as Kong had a preconceived notion that he was an irresponsible fellow, he would not obediently listen to Kazuma.
"Now you should make a choice."
"Do you want to be an outsider to witness all of this, or do you want to change everything as an insider?" Danzang asked calmly.”
" If you want to be an outsider, I'll transfer the power of the tail beast out of your body. You have no value, and Kazuma probably won't come into contact with you. You can quietly watch everything that's about to happen in the Country of Fire.”
"If you want to be an insider, you must first learn to control the power in your body. However, the power in your body is not brought by the real tail beast. It is just a bunch of unconscious, violent and evil tail beast Chakra. As long as your will is strong enough, you can still control it.”
After saying that, Tanzo quietly waited for Kong's reply. There were two choices, and no matter which one he made, it would affect Kazuma's judgment.
Kong's heart was filled with complicated emotions as he struggled between these two choices.
The first choice was to observe everything as an outsider. He might not even be able to see his father, but he could still confirm his plan through the news in the country. Although Tuan Zang said this confidently, Kong already believed it in his heart.
If he chose the second option, he could question his father with the remaining 70% suspicion. However, if he did that, there was a high chance that he would become enemies with his father, and the father and son would kill each other.
There was only a small chance that what Tuan Zang said was a lie. His father actually still had feelings for him as a father and son. He would give up this plan for him.
After thinking for a while, Kong stretched out his beast-like right hand and asked,""If…if I choose the first option, will my hand recover?”
"This is a mutation that occurred during your growth due to the influence of the tail beast Chakra. Now that your arm has grown, it is irreversible according to my knowledge. However, if you are willing to wait, perhaps one day I will bring a ninja with superb medical skills to take a look at you.”
Danzou was not confident that Kong's arm could be restored to the appearance of a normal person. After all, he did not know much about medical ninjutsu. If one day, Okami was willing to be under his command, he did not mind spending some time to bring Okami to take a look at this kid.
But the prerequisite was that Okami was willing to listen to him. One had to know that he, Shimura Tanzou, was not a good person in Yuan Fei's faction. Among Yuan Fei's three disciples, only Orochimaru was willing to come into contact with him.
"I choose the first option."
After some hesitation, Kong finally made his choice. As an outsider, he would witness all of this. Losing this demonizing power would not be a loss to him.
Although this would make him lose the opportunity to meet his father, Kong still hoped to live in the Temple of Fire as an ordinary person. The rejection of the monks made him feel disgusted with his existence, but at the same time, he wanted to change everything.
"Since you chose to stand on the sidelines, I will strip this power from you.”
To solve the problem of the tail beast chakra in Kong's body was not as simple as what Tanzang said. If he was alone, he could not guarantee that he could transfer the chakra without hurting Kong.
It took half a month to travel from the Temple of Fire to Muye. Of course, if it wasn't for Kong's situation, the speed of the group hiding could have been faster.
"Is this the Woodleaf Village?"
Kong walked curiously on the Muye street, his eyes full of surprise and longing. It was also at this time that he cried out like a child.
This was the first time he had walked out of the Fire Temple. He had passed by some small villages along the way, but they could not compare to the environment in the Fire Temple, so Kong did not pay much attention to them.
Now that he had come to Muye, he was like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Whether it was the food, the buildings, or the clothes of the pedestrians on the streets, Kong felt unfamiliar and curious.
"Muye is a place where ninjas live. Although it looks beautiful, it can't compare to the capital.”Tuan Zang would occasionally greet the passersby, but these people were not as enthusiastic. They had probably gotten used to it after seeing each other for a long time.
"The capital?" Kong asked curiously.
"It's where the daimyo lives." Danzang explained," Daimyo isn't a ninja. He doesn't pay attention to practicality like ninjas. Furthermore, because of his bloodline and status, he lives in the most prosperous and lively area in the Country of Fire.”
"Is that guy also in the capital?”Kong's expression calmed down as he asked.
"In the past, I don't know his whereabouts now.”Tuan Zang replied," Wait for me at the door for a while. I'll find a helper to move the Chakra out of your body.”
Kong nodded and watched as Tanzo walked into the Naruto building.
Without any obstructions, the group arrived at Naruto's office. As usual, they opened the office door without knocking.
"About tolerance…"
Other than the Flying Ape Sun Slash, the two advisors, Xiao Chun and Mito Men Yan, were all present. Furthermore, the three of them seemed to be discussing something. Clearly, it was a small meeting.
Seeing Tuanzang's sudden visit, Yuan Fei's eyes flashed with a trace of joy, while the other two people frowned. But because Yuan Fei had previously said that he had forgotten that Tuanzang had said that he would not attend the meeting, they did not open their mouths to mock him.
"It just so happens that we're discussing the Ninja School. I think we should change the way we teach.”Yuan Fei Sun Slash seemed to have forgotten those awkward matters from before and inquired.
Unlike the second generation, the people of this era had tasted the benefits of peace, and the villagers had more ideas.
Everyone knew about the recent situation in the Ninja Realm. The original teaching method was no longer suitable for the present. The people from the big families had recalled their children to their own clans to train them. As for the commoners, other than a few who had already started school or those who were willing to contribute, no new students had entered the school.
After all, in this era, once one entered school, it meant becoming a ninja and going to the battlefield.
The graduation rate had also changed again and again. In peaceful times, only 10% of the approved graduates could successfully graduate. Now, as long as they enrolled, they were absolutely qualified to receive the Ninjo quota. This also made many civilians shrink back.
Their training was not as good as the children of the big families. Most of their children could only be cannon fodder on the battlefield. Only a few talented people could survive and make a name for themselves.
Therefore, the teaching method of the ninja school had to be changed. At the very least, the civilians could not think that their children were going to school to be cannon fodder.
Tuan Zang looked at him in surprise. He was rather unaccustomed to Yuan Fei Sun Slash being so enthusiastic after seeing him. But immediately after, a trace of strangeness flashed across Tuan Zang's eyes.
The Flying Yuan Sun Slash in front of him was much, much older compared to the last time they met. And compared to the first time he met after coming to this world, there was even a world of difference.
Almost all of his gray hair had fallen off, and the stripes on his face were even more obvious. At this moment, he did not look as leisurely as before with a big pipe in his mouth. Instead, he looked worried.
It seemed that the chaos caused by the changing world line had consumed a lot of his energy. At the same time, it had accelerated his aging speed, and his spirit was not as strong as before.
"Although I really want to help you share these things, my purpose here is not to participate in this meeting.”Tuan Zang spread his hands and sat in the only empty seat. This was his seat.
The joy on Yuan Fei's face froze, while the other two advisors 'furrowed brows similarly turned black.
"What information have you found?”
Upon hearing the group trove's words, Flying Yuan Sun Slash knew that the group trove's people had discovered some bad news again. And this news could not even be dealt with by the group trove.
One had to know that ever since Tuan Zang's temperament changed drastically, many matters had already left Yuan Fei's and even other people's eyes. There were many matters that he could handle that he practically would not inform others about. And now, his arrival clearly meant that the matter this time was not small.
"Actually, this matter hasn't been confirmed yet. I just want to make preparations as soon as possible.”Tuan Zang shook his head. It was not a good thing for him to reveal his name to these guys now.
"Do you still remember the assassination attempt on you a few years ago?”
"The time you asked Kakashi to kill me?”
"No…not that time." Tuan Zang replied calmly, just like how the one who bewitched Kakashi to assassinate Yuan Fei back then was not him. But it was indeed not him back then.
The transmigrator Little Spring and Mito Men Yan were dumbfounded when they heard this by the side. What kind of attitude did these two people have to allow the other party to live until now? They did not know about the matter of the Tuan Zang once sending Kakashi to assassinate Yuan Fei.
But they knew that not too long ago, when the group returned with victory, Yuan Fei had once brought people to attempt to end him. Although he did not succeed in the end, the way the two of them saw it, their relationship seemed to have worsened from that time onwards.
But now it seemed that they were overthinking. The process of these two people getting along was just so wonderful. Just a small matter like assassinating each other would not affect their friendship.
"Horse?" Thinking for a while, Yuan Fei Sun Slash recalled that there was another assassination in recent years. Furthermore, it was also because of this assassination that his son and his own ideals underwent an even greater change.
Tuan Zang nodded and continued," That guy has a son. Back when the Nine-Tails wreaked havoc in the village, he had once collected the chakras that the Nine-Tails had released and sealed them on his son. He planned to use this container to cause chaos to Muye again.”
"That brat called Kong was protected by Asmali. I know of his existence, and I also know of the Chakra sealed on his body. At that time, he was still an infant, and if I wanted to transfer this power out, it would definitely affect his life, so I temporarily let him stay in the Fire Temple.”
"His life in the Temple of Fire should be very stable now. Earthland sends me reports about his situation from time to time.”Yuan Fei heaved a sigh of relief. So it was this matter. Then it was fine.
He didn't tell the group about this. Otherwise, with the group's personality, they wouldn't let such a child who was a threat to the village wander around.
"Of course, what I want to say is not so easy.”When Tuan Zang saw Yuan Fei's relieved look, he knew that Yuan Fei had misunderstood his meaning." I've investigated the intelligence. Kazuma might still be alive. Furthermore, it might affect this child. Hence, I made a trip to the Temple of Fire to bring him back to Muye, planning to move the tail beast Chakra out of his body.”
" What?!"
Yuan Fei Sun Slash's eyes widened." Impossible! There's absolutely no way that guy can survive."”
"Your son's heart is softer than you think. He has inherited your true teachings and is even better than you.”Tuan Zang did not hide the sarcasm in his tone.
And Yuan Fei's expression turned gloomy. Back then, Asma was already somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude. He was also a little interested in Kazuma's theory. If not for him being his father, perhaps Asma this fellow would really have made a move on him.
If that was the case, it was not impossible for Asma to spare Kazuma's life.
"Where is he now?" Yuan Fei asked.
"Downstairs. "You can see him from the window."”
Hearing that, Yuan Fei stood up, while Little Chun and Men Yan also came to the window and looked down.
A child with a tender face and a slightly thin figure was sitting on a wooden chair beside the Muye Building. As if sensing their gazes, Kong, who was downstairs, raised his head and met their gazes.
Smiling kindly at Kong, Yuan Fei retracted his gaze and returned to his chair to sit properly and said,""He's not much older than before. Judging from his skinny body, he can't withstand the attack of the Chakra. He might lose his life during the transfer.”
"Otherwise, why would I bring him back to Woodleaf Village?”Tanzo replied," During the transfer process, we need a Medical Ninja to help heal us. If it's possible, can you do the transfer yourself?”
Yuan Fei nodded his head. Indeed, he was currently the most proficient in sealing arts in Woodleaf Village.
However, he looked at Tuan Zang strangely. Indeed, this guy had changed a lot. If it was in the past, he wouldn't have brought him back. He would have just killed him in the Fire Temple and solved the whole matter.
Tuan Zang did not explain further and continued,""Let's put these chakras back on Naruto. His current strength is already at the level of Genin, so it's time to unseal him.”
"With Nine-Tails absorbing it, these chakras will enter Naruto's body more easily.”
Yuan Fei was silent for a moment before replying," It's better to find another container to carry this power.”
Although having Nine-Tails guiding them in the middle could indeed make it easier for this power to be transferred to Naruto, there was also a certain risk. Nine-Tails undoubtedly had self-awareness.
How long the Tailed Beasts had existed was a mystery. In this long period of time, the Tailed Beasts could learn much more than humans. If it were not for the restrictions on the use of ninjutsu by the Tailed Beasts, perhaps humans would not be able to control the existence of the Tailed Beasts.
And in the process of guiding and transferring the tail beast chakra, if the nine tails showed any abnormal movements, to be honest, Flying Yuan Sun Slash felt that he might not be able to control the situation in his current state.
He was truly exhausted. Every day, there were piles of documents waiting for him to deal with, especially after the war between the Country of Fire and the Country of Thunder.
"An ordinary container can't hold the Chakra of a tail beast. Do you have a suitable candidate?”Tuan Zang frowned. Other than Naruto, he really could not think of any candidate who could make his opinion not be refuted by Yuan Fei.
Flying Ape Sun Slash was silent for a moment and did not reply.
Finally, as if he had made a decision, he raised his head and looked at Haru and Mito Hayato, who were also waiting for an answer at the table."You guys go out first. I have something to talk to the group in private.”
The two of them were stunned for a moment. They did not react to this sentence immediately. However, after filtering the content of this sentence in their minds again, their expressions turned ugly at the same time. They snorted coldly and stood up to leave.
With a bang, the door of Naruto's office was closed. The atmosphere became somewhat quiet. Tuan Zang sat leisurely opposite Yuan Fei, yawning as he waited for his reply.
At an office table, Tuan Zang and Yuan Fei sat opposite each other.
Looking at the still young Tuan Zang directly opposite him, Yuan Fei felt a sense of loss that he had not felt for a long time. They were from the same clan and were also second-generation disciples. There had been cooperation and competition between them.
However, after that choice, their paths became different.
There was a time when Yuan Fei and Sun Behead had always felt that he was suppressing the group troll. Whether it was in strategy or reputation, status, they were all higher than the group troll. But now, as Naruto, he was about to die.
And this guy…
"If I give you Naruto's position, can you let me return to youth like you?”
Yuan Fei's Sun Slash's sudden words stunned Tuan Zang. He then smiled and looked at him, saying,""Didn't I already say that this was an accident? Since it was an accident, there's naturally no way for you to become like me.”
"Is that so?"
Yuan Fei Sun Slash took a deep look at Tuan Zang." I was only joking too.”
Although he said that, if Tuan Zang had really agreed to his request in that instant, would he really give up his chance to survive for this Mu Ye?
"So you called them away to tell me this?”Danzang asked," I only want to know who you chose to carry the Chakra. I don't care about anything else.”
Yuan Fei Sun Slash sighed and said," As you can see, I might not be able to hold on any longer. My body is already unable to continue staying in this position to wield power.”
"I want to make a deal with you. You can decide who will be the one to carry this tail beast Chakra. In return, you can't interfere with my choice of the next Naruto.”
In any case, it was impossible for Tuan Zang to be this Naruto. But it was already very difficult for Yuan Fei's body to persist on. Once he abdicated, if Tuan Zang really wanted to participate in the election, with his current popularity in the entire Fire Country and the entire Woodleaf Village, becoming the fifth generation Naruto was practically a done deal.
All along, Yuan Fei had been deeply influenced by the first generation, believing that peaceful development was the correct path. He maintained the relationship between the village and the other countries and also paid attention to the development of the young people in the village.
But the appointment of the regiment treasury would undoubtedly distort the will of fire that he had painstakingly created. Yuan Fei could imagine the entire Muye being brought by the regiment treasury to wage war against the other countries.
"Of course, you can make other requests. I will try my best to satisfy them.”
This transaction was clearly not equal. Using a tail beast chakra in exchange for the next Naruto candidate, this transaction could be guessed by Flying Ape Sun Slash with his toes that the group would not agree.
However, Tuan Zang was out of his expectations. He casually waved his hand and said,"It's up to you. Since I'm the one who decides the vessel, I happen to have someone who needs this decent power.”
Although this transaction was seriously unfair, Tuan Zang did not want to continue making things difficult for him. After all, this old fellow looked quite pitiful. If Yuan Fei had the chance to live until he completed his plan, he might even die of anger on the spot.
At the thought of this, Tuan Zang laughed in his heart.
Yuan Fei was a little surprised by Tuan Zang's straightforwardness, but he was also afraid that he was scheming something behind his back. He could not help but open his mouth,""Are you sure you don't want to add any other conditions?”
Looking at Yuan Fei's appearance, Tuan Zang knew what he was thinking.
" How about this, I'll decide on the graduation dates of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura. The three of them will be divided into a group, and the role of guiding Jounin will be given to Hatake Kakashi. You have to cooperate with me throughout the entire process.”Tuan Zang thought of the previous group allocation and added.
"Kakashi?"
Yuan Fei frowned. The current situation was grim. As an important captain in the Dark Group, Kakashi would help him deal with many, many things every day. If he wanted Kakashi to take on the role of guiding the Jounin, it would be quite a waste of resources.
As for Naruto and Sasuke's identities, Yuan Fei was no longer as vigilant as before. Tuan Zang was already familiar with them. Previously, when he wanted to stop them, it was already too late. Later on, he also let them be.
Thinking for a while, Yuan Fei agreed to Tuan Zang's decision.
"I'll go and bring the people here. We need to move the Chakra as soon as possible. After that, I still need to send him back.”
Since he had already decided to hide, he didn't stay any longer. He opened the window and jumped down. He told Kong to wait here for a while before he went to bring over the candidates for the transfer.
As soon as Tuan Zang left, Xiao Chun and Men Yan, who were waiting outside, returned to the house.
"What decision have you made?" Xiao Chun asked unhappily. She was very angry that the two of them often excluded them, but there was nothing she could do.
"Yuan Fei, did you forget the agreement back then?”Mito Hayato also shouted anxiously," The four of us are making first-hand decisions together. Aren't you going to inform us about what the two of you are doing now?”
"Help me send a message to call Zilai back. It's time to make a decision.”Yuan Fei did not reply. He gave the two people an order and quickly walked out of the office, leaving behind the two people who were stunned.
He still had to prepare for the transfer of the Chakra tail beast, so he did not have time to fight for decision-making rights with them.
…………
At the Shicun Residence.
"One thousand and five!"
"One thousand and six!"
Along with the counting, dull slapping sounds came from Shinhachi Shimura's body.
Takashi Shimura waved the long whip in his hand and lashed it at Shinhachi's body. As he lashed, a faint blue chakra fluctuation flickered on Shinhachi's body.
Although most of the force was blocked by Shimura Shinhachi's earth chakra, it still left deep red wounds on his body.
"Let's call it a day, Little Xin Ba.”Takashi Shimura said in a negotiating tone, but he could not help but sigh in his heart. This was indeed a good child. His tenacity and determination were much stronger than when he was young.
During this period of time, he had no choice but to put down his prejudice against Shinhachi Shimura, because this child really made him feel pity.
No matter how talented he was, Shimura Shinkai-Ryu's sweat was definitely twice as much as the others. Needless to say, the hardships he had suffered were obvious from the densely packed black wounds on his body.
Because of what Tanzo had said, Shinhachi Shimura, who had decided to become a meat shield for the team, had to undergo very tough resistance training. He had finally mastered the change in the nature of the earth attribute chakra and used his own body to sense this change.
"No! Grandpa Yi, I can take it! Only if I can handle it can the rest of the team be assured to leave Ann to me.”
His small face was flushed red, and his face was no longer as tender as before. His tanned face showed what kind of cultivation he had received. He gritted his teeth and said,"Lord Tuanzang said that he would arrange two suitable teammates for me. He and you both have high hopes for me. I can't make a mistake at the critical moment.”
"But…"
Takashi Shimura wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Very good, you didn't disappoint me.”
The voice came closer and closer. At some point, Tanzo was already standing beside the two of them with a smile.
"Lord…Lord Tanzo!"
Shinhachi puffed out his chest and stood up. Before he could stop, Takeshi whipped him, but he did not seem to hear it. Blood oozed out of his wound and dripped onto the ground, drenched in sweat. However, Shinhachi still looked at Tanzo with bright eyes.
"I feel your hints and encouragement! I've read every newspaper you publish! I will remember every word you said. The more sweat you sweat during cultivation, the less blood you will bleed in real battles. I will remember every bit of your expectations!”Shinhachi Shimura said excitedly. He looked like a fanatic fan of the group.
The moment he saw Danzang, there was nothing else in front of him. He could not feel the fatigue and pain in his body. He only wanted to listen to Danzang Daren's teachings.
This sentence…
Tuan Zang looked at Shinhachi Shimura's fanatical eyes and scratched his head. It seemed that he had suddenly remembered a sentence from his previous life after some enlightenment and had casually reported it. However, this young man in front of him had misunderstood something.
"I'm glad that you understand my painstaking efforts.”
He patted Shinhachi Shimura's shoulder. He could feel the passion in the young man's heart." Since you didn't disappoint me, I'll keep my promise and personally put on the ninja mask for you. I'll also find two other suitable teammates."”
Shinhachi Shimura was the most talented child selected by the group from the Shimura clan. He was also a good seedling that he planned to focus on nurturing.
" This..." The light in Shinhachi's eyes became even more brilliant, and his entire body trembled with excitement.
"But before that, I need to bring you through the final training so that you truly have the strength to protect your teammates.”Tuan Zang smiled and said," I will personally arrange and supervise your training this time.”
Personally accept the training of Lord Tanzo
Shinhachi's eyes widened. He couldn't wait to see what kind of training Master Tanzo would give him!
"But let me say this first. This training will be very difficult. If you fail, you might die!”Danzou said seriously. The other party was working for him and worshiped him so much. He had to tell Shimura Shinhachi about the risks of this transfer, but at the same time, tell him the corresponding benefits.
"You should have heard of the Tail Beast. I will transfer the Chakra remnants from the Rebellion of the Nine Tails a few years ago to you.”
"The tail beast chakra is not like the chakra extracted from an ordinary human body. It is more violent and difficult to control, but the benefits of these chakras are also unimaginable. With this huge chakra as a baptism, you can make your body stronger and have a strong recovery ability.”
"Since you've followed my plan to become the team's meat shield and be responsible for the team's safety, if you agree to accept this power, you'll definitely not be weaker than any talented genius.”
After hearing Tanzo's narration, Takashi Shimura, who was listening quietly, panicked and said,""No! This child must not become a pillar of strength! The tail beast was not something he could control.”
"It's not human pillar strength. It's just a carrier for the tail beast chakra. I'll get others to use this chakra to transform the body of the new eight. He'll have a stronger body than ordinary people.”Tuan Zang shook his head and explained.
"Even if it's just Chakra, it's still very dangerous. Little Shinhachi, if you obediently cultivate with me, it won't be worse than accepting this power.”Takashi Shimura hurriedly said to Shinhachi.
Danzou did not stop him from speaking, but he added,""Regardless of whether you accept this power or not, I will still help you find two suitable teammates and help you put on the Genin's forehead shield. This will not change.”
Just like how he had given Kong the choice to make, Tuan Zang gave the decision to him. However, he believed that a child who had been heavily influenced by his culture would definitely accept this opportunity.
"I accept!"
As expected, Shinhachi Shimura accepted Tanzo's suggestion without hesitation. His expression was full of apology as he looked at Takeshi Shimura and said,""Grandpa Yi, I know you're doing this for my own good. I've seen nine-tailed beasts when I was young, and I know how terrifying they are.”
"But you should also know that my goal from the beginning was to become stronger, so strong that I could leave the clan. I even wanted to leave the village to face those stronger opponents outside.”
Faced with Shinhachi's determined gaze, Takashi Shimura sighed. He now valued this child more than his own grandson, because the stubbornness and obsession that Shinhachi had displayed impressed him.
He had spent so many years in the Shimura clan, and this was the first child who had made him feel the atmosphere of the past.
Seeing that Grandpa Yi didn't stop him again, Shinhachi Shimura heaved a sigh of relief. If he really stopped him, he really couldn't ignore the kindness of this elder and take the risk.
"Have you thought it through? Not afraid of death?" Tuan Zang asked with a smile.
"I've thought it through! I will definitely succeed!" Shinhachi said firmly.
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Tanzo reached out and lifted Shinhachi Shimura before disappearing from his sight. He didn't even give him time to prepare or put on his shirt.
The time given to Shimura Shinhachi to make a choice had already been wasted quite a bit. Kong and Yuan Fei should be anxiously waiting.
Sure enough, by the time Tuan Zang arrived with the half-naked Shinhachi Shimura, Kong and Yuan Fei were already somewhat at loggerheads.
Originally, Yuan Fei wanted to take advantage of the time he still had to help Kong do a body checkup or something. But when faced with Kong's vigilant appearance, he tried his best to persuade this child for a long time, but this child did not listen. However, he was not like Tuan Zang, who would directly take action forcefully. Furthermore, he could only continue to drag things out like this in public.
Hearing Yuan Fei's explanation, Tuan Zang nodded and said to Kong,""Prepare yourself for a check-up. The person in front of you is Wood Leaf's Naruto, one of the two leaders of the Fire Country. He won't harm a child like you.”
He could understand Kong's wariness towards him. After all, many things had happened in the past few days. Kong had also been so wary of him when they first met.
Even though Di Lu was there to verify Tuan Zang's identity, Kong Neng's promise to follow him from the Temple of Fire to Muye was already a sign of trust in him. This kid still had a certain level of judgment.
"I just…"
Thinking about it for a moment, he still explained to Yuan Fei,""Lord Naruto, it's not that I don't trust you, but your smile is a little scary.”
The smile on Yuan Fei's face froze. He felt that this child in front of him might as well not explain.
With a stiff face, Yuan Fei turned his head and no longer looked at this stinky brat. He said to Shinhachi Shimura beside Tuanzang,""You must be Little Xin Ba. I've heard of you. You're a very hardworking child.”
This was his usual method. Every time the amiable third generation Eye Huoying said this to the children, it would motivate them to move forward. They would feel honored to be remembered by him.
Only Kong, this outsider from the village, had never seen him before and had never received the influence of his will of fire. That was why he would reject him so much. If they could get along for a few more days, Yuan Fei believed that he could pacify this brat's emotions and even make him stay in Muye to work for him.
Hearing Yuan Fei's words, Shinhachi Shimura had a surprised expression, but his words were not what Yuan Fei thought in his heart. He said,""Did Lord Tanzo mention me in front of you?”
He didn't expect that Danzang Daren would actually value him so much, and even specially mention a child like him in front of Naruto.
？？？
Yuan Fei was at a loss in his heart. It was clearly him who praised this child, so why did he drag it onto Tuan Zang?
"Lord Tuan Zang."
Panting heavily, Ye Naiyu hurried over.
As a medical ninja who had been trained by Tanzo since she was young, Nonoyu, who was known as the walking witch, was not much worse than Tsuneo in medical ninjutsu. However, she belonged to the more orthodox medical ninjutsu and did not have any strange settings. Her combat power was far inferior to others.
The Medical Ninjas who were more prominent in the anime, Yakushito, and Tsunake, all used their Medical Ninjutsu in battle, which also increased their strength by quite a bit.
And because of the arrangements of the group trove, Ye Naiyu was only a pure doctor.
…………
In a completely sealed cultivation field in Muye.
"His body is relatively thin, probably because he doesn't have a normal diet and is a little malnourished. However, his arms are much stronger than the other parts of his body.”
He carefully examined Kong's body while explaining to Tanzang.
"His arm has turned into a beast due to the problem with the Chakra. Can you help him solve this problem?”Tuan Zang asked. He still remembered that he had promised Kong that he would help him solve the problem with his arm.
Kong widened his eyes and looked at Ye Naiyu, waiting for her reply.
"The transformation of his body is happening during the development of his body. There is no way to reverse this process.”Noya shook his head. Kong lowered his head in disappointment when he heard her reply.
" But if he's willing to undergo a transplant surgery by removing his arm, he might be able to have an ordinary person's arm, but it's not his own arm after all. He might not be able to adapt during the surgery. In serious cases, he might not be able to become a ninja.”
After hesitating for a while, Nonoyu suggested a feasible solution. However, no ninja would accept this solution. No one was willing to lose their ninja identity.
Danzang nodded. This method should be easy to complete with the wonderful medical ninjutsu in this world.
"How is it? If you don't accept this method, you can wait a little longer. There might be a better way to solve this problem in the future.”Tuan Zang asked Kong.
Kong pursed his lips. If he couldn't use ninjutsu, he would only be an ordinary monk when he returned to the Temple of Fire.
However, when he thought of the disgusted looks of the monks, he gritted his teeth and said,""I accept this plan. As long as I can have the body of a normal person, I can do it even if I don't have to be a ninja.”
Nonoyu was a little surprised that Yukura agreed to her plan, but when he saw Tanzo's calm expression, he nodded and said,""I understand. After the chakra transfer is completed, we will start preparing for your arm transplant surgery.”
He didn't say anything about Yu Kong's decision. This was his own choice. If he regretted it one day, he should bear the consequences himself.
"Is this the side effect you mentioned?”Shinhachi Shimura looked at Kongnao. The arm that was exposed said. It was like a beast with sharp claws.
"If you accept this power, it might be more serious than this. No one can predict the outcome before it happens, but you have to be mentally prepared."”
"I understand." Shinhachi said, but his eyes were still fixed on Kong's right arm.
Compared to Kong's thin and weak body, this arm was unimaginably strong. It was completely out of the body that a child should have. Strong muscles stacked up on his arm. If he could master this strength, he would have the strength to protect his teammates.
Xin Ba's heart was filled with desire and longing, completely different from Kong's disgust for this power. This also made Kong take a few more glances at this black kid in front of him.
"Since you're ready, let's begin.”
Flying Ape Sun Slash brought a few people from the Sealing Class to Kong's side to stabilize his body, surrounding him in the center. Meanwhile, Wild Naiyu and a few other Medical Ninjas waited at the side, ready to treat Kong at any time.
"Four Elephant Pillar Barrier Technique."
The four sealing class ninjas set up a barrier around the entire training ground to prevent the Chakra from leaking out.
"Five Elements Seal!"
The Flying Ape Sun Slash stretched out his palm. There were five chakras of different attributes on his five fingers. Following his loud roar, his palm struck the seal of Kong ruthlessly. The five fingers just happened to correspond to the five elements seal of Kazuma.
"Ahhhhh…"
As the seal was removed, the Chakras that had no means of restraining themselves emerged from Kong's body and surrounded him. These Chakras had no consciousness, and only carried violent and destructive emotions as they rammed around his body.
The other parts of his body began to turn into beasts. The humanity in his eyes had gradually disappeared, leaving only the beast-like eyes. As Chakra collided with him, the skin on his body shattered like paper.
When these chakras completely assimilated into his empty body, he would become a wild beast without reason and only knew how to destroy.
The powerful air pressure spread out in all directions with the air as the center. The nearby trees began to sway as the chakra spread, and it felt as if they were being uprooted by the wind pressure at any time.
However, none of the people present were ordinary people. They were at least at the level of a Chuunin. Chakra stuck to the ground with his feet, while Shinhachi, who was only at the level of a Genin, was supported by Tanzo. He looked at everything in a daze.
"Begin the transfer!"
Without any delay, the instant Yuan Fei released the seal, the other sealing class ninjas had already swiftly formed seals and pulled the tail beast Chakra out of Kong's body. With the seal that was prepared beforehand to stabilize his body, Kong was completely unable to resist even if he had already lost his mind.
The tail beast chakra rushed out of the body of the sealing class and began to do whatever it wanted. It swayed within the entire Four Pillar Elephant Barrier, constantly colliding with the barrier and trying to rush out of the outside world. The originally fragile branches were directly shattered into pieces by the shaking of the chakra.
Whether it was the ninjas controlling the Four Elephant Pillar Barrier or the sealing class controlling the tail beast Chakra, they were not having an easy time. Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and a few of the sealing class ninjas clenched their teeth with trembling arms to control the tail beast Chakra so that it would not continue to act recklessly. Their faces were full of seriousness.
Shinhachi Shimura, who was originally looking forward to it, looked at this scene in fear. The person who was normal just now was now filled with a terrifying aura.
If such a force entered his body, would his body be smashed into pieces like those trees?
Tanzo reached out and patted Shinhachi's shoulder.""Since you've decided, you can't regret it. You've seen how powerful this power is. Now lie down and prepare to be baptized by this power.”
Unconsciously swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shimura Shinhachi's heart was in a mess as he lay on the stone slab. The Flying Ape Sun Slash also came to his side the first moment after the seal was unsealed, preparing to inject the tail beast chakra into his body.
The fiery red tail beast chakra continuously gathered from Kong's body and gradually formed a fiery red fox shape. It was like a real nine-tailed fox. This fox that was completely formed by the tail beast chakra kept roaring. Following the guidance of the sealing class, it began to swim towards Shinhachi.
"Pay attention!"
The Flying Ape Sun Slash roared loudly, waving his hands as he guided the Chakra tail beast into Shimura Shinhachi's body. The powerful Chakra tail beast with destructive power wreaked havoc in his body like a wild horse that had lost its reins.
"Ahhhhh…"
A scream that was even louder than Kong's rang out from Shinhachi's mouth, completely suppressing Kong's scream.
Compared to being pulled out, Shimura Shinhachi, who was directly injected by this brutal chakra, suffered much more pain than Kong. The chakra in his body immediately began to resist this external chakra.
However, like a domino that was easily pushed down, this foreign brutal chakra took root in Shinhachi's body without any hindrance and began to corrode his body. His eyes gradually lost their focus, and the human pupils began to slowly change.
The bubbling sound of bubbles came from the surface of Shimura Shinhachi's body. His entire body was completely wrapped in the crimson tail chakra. The injuries caused by his previous training began to heal under the impact of this huge and abundant chakra.
The two red tails formed by chakras wanted to shake and sweep at the people who were suppressing him, but they were fixed by the people of the Sealing Class and were firmly stuck on the stone slab, unable to move.
"It's even more serious than that kid. His body is rejecting it very badly. In such a short period of time, he has already entered the stage of tail beast transformation.”The Flying Ape Sun Slash narrowed his eyes and said. Fortunately, he did not let Naruto bear this power. If there were nine tails commanding in Naruto's body, perhaps this power could directly let Naruto enter the state of at least four tails.
A tail beast that had lost its mind was very difficult to control, especially now that they were in the village.
"Should we consider sealing him completely?”Yuan Fei looked at Tuan Zang and asked. This candidate was brought over by Tuan Zang. How to carry out the seal was up to Tuan Zang to decide.
"Wait a moment."
If it was completely sealed, it would not be able to reach the transformation process. Looking at Shichihachi, who had almost lost his mind and was roaring and struggling like a beast, Danzou closed his eyes and formed a seal.
"Do you still remember what you said when we first met?”A voice sounded in Shinhachi Shimura's mind, and he trembled violently under the suppression of pain and bestial nature.
This voice was very familiar, and Shimura Shinhachi would never forget the owner of this voice for the rest of his life.
"Didn't you prepare for the pain long ago? Wasn't the daily training to protect his teammates better in the future?”
"The pain between life and death is even more intense than this. Since you want to protect your teammates, you have to be prepared to give up your life for them. Try to get used to this pain, try to accept it. When you completely accept it, you will start to feel happy because your body is strong.”
Shinhachi couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Danzo.
Staring into his eyes, Shinhachi saw anticipation and trust in his eyes. Lord Tanzo was waiting for his transformation! Waiting for me to become a qualified subordinate!
"Don't disappoint me." Tuan Zang's eyes were staring at him, his voice was clearly transmitted into his mind through the secret technique of the mountain clan.
"Yes, sir!" The furious roar was accompanied by a firm reply. Shimura Shinhachi's body, which had been tightly suppressed, suddenly moved like a fearless moth pouncing on the flame-like Chakra.
The bone-deep pain was still clear, but the violent aura that had been born from the tail beast chakra had dissipated. He would not let Danzou Daren down!
The absent-minded beast-like pupils stopped at this instant. Everyone present could see Shinji Shimura's transformation. Yuan Fei glanced at him in surprise and then looked at Tuan Zang beside him. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Kong's condition had already stabilized after the majority of the Chakras had flowed out of his body. Ye Naiyu and the others were currently helping him with emergency treatment. His skin had long since disappeared due to the erosion of the Chakras, and his entire body was clearly covered in a faint red color.
As the last chakra flowed out of Kong's body and poured into Shinji Shimura, his screams stopped and he had long lost consciousness.
"He's unconscious, but many of his internal injuries have stabilized. You guys continue to use the Immortal Palm Technique to heal him.”
After Kong's condition stabilized, Noo Woo rushed to Shinhachi Shimura's side immediately.
Similar to Kong's condition, Shinhachi's internal condition was much more severe. Not only were there many serious injuries, but his veins and bones were also broken. His outer skin had long since shattered with the infusion of chakra, revealing his hideous pink flesh.
However, Shinhachi Shimura's will was still awake. His pupils did not turn into beast pupils because of the brutality of this power, and his body did not show signs of beastification for the time being.
Shinhachi Shimura's mind had already recovered under the influence of the group treasure, but the tail beast chakra that was making rumbling sounds around him was still arrogant.
"Four Symbols Seal." Danzang's palm landed on Shinhachi Shimura's body. A black circle appeared on Shinhachi Shimura's abdomen, and inside the black circle were four small magatama.
Although the Four Symbols Seal could suppress the Chakra, it could not completely seal it. It was even weaker than the Eight Trigrams Seal in Ming Ren's body.
However, it was also for this reason that Shinhachi was able to use the power of the seal to transform his body with his current conscious mind, using the Four Symbols Seal as a conversion device.
"Just help him stabilize the injuries in his body and keep the wounds.”
After instructing Nonoyu, who had just arrived, Danzou continued to focus on guiding Shinhachi Shimura to guide this power.
As the seal was sealed, the Chakras that had been injected into Shinji Shinji's body followed Shinji Shinji's guidance and surged into the seal as if they had found a home. The terrifying aura on Shinji Shinji's body also gradually stabilized.
The red chakras on the surface of his body entered his body through his pores. The benefit of the powerful chakras was the increase in his body's recovery ability.
The broken tendons and veins were slowly recovering along with the chakra, but during the recovery process, if Shimura Shinhachi did not control it well, it would break again due to its violent nature.
Bit by bit, he adapted, bit by bit, bit by bit, and bit by bit, he recovered. Under the personal guidance of Tanzo, even if Shinji Shimura's chakra control ability was insufficient, and the tail beast chakra was more violent and difficult to control.
However, he continued to try and adapt to it. He slowly grasped the chakra of this tail beast in pain. The pain caused by the brutal chakra in his body slowly began to slow down, and his mind began to adapt to the pain.
Normal chakras did not have healing abilities, but Medical Ninjas could use special methods to transform chakras into green chakras with life energy to heal wounds. Tailed chakras, on the other hand, had healing abilities because their nature was different from ordinary chakras.
Shinhachi Shimura did not have the whirlpool physique like Naruto, but under the influence of the tail beast chakra, his healing ability began to gradually increase. This time, his body was destroyed because of this powerful and violent chakra.
But at the same time, under the healing of this chakra, the internal injuries of Shinhachi's body began to slowly heal, and this power slowly adapted to Shinhachi's body.
The tail beasts were a strange existence. They were formed by the massive Chakra Source that was split from the divine tree by the Immortal of Six Paths. They were also given consciousness and were immortal.
Once the tail beast died, its consciousness would be revived after absorbing enough chakras from the world.
Although the Chakra on Shinhachi's body did not have the consciousness of the Nine-Tailed Beast, it still had the ability to regenerate. However, the amount of Chakra could not exceed the upper limit of its body.
In other words, Kazuma had collected as many nine-tailed chakras as he could before they dissipated into the world. Even if they were used up, they would recover over time, but they would not exceed this total.
"Arrange for a few Medical Ninjas to guard the side to prevent starvation. When this kid heals himself, he will probably be able to fully control this power.”Tuan Zang wiped the sweat off his forehead and withdrew his palm from his abdomen.
To be honest, it was not easy to maintain the seal while diverting his attention to guide Shinhachi Shimura. However, he could not help but laugh when he saw the kid grimacing in pain on the stone slab but still holding back his screams.
Perhaps this kid had no talent and had never even appeared in the original novel, but Tanzo was confident that with this kid's perseverance, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the future ninja world.
Mastering and adapting to this chakra was not something that could be done in a short period of time. Before that, he needed to quietly feel this chakra and control it in pain.
"If this kid can get used to this chakra, he might be able to master tail beast transformation.”The Flying Ape Sun Slash muttered tiredly. Even though it was only controlling the tail beast chakra, it already expended quite a bit of his stamina.
Tuan Zang glanced at him. It was not that simple to transform into a tail beast. The difference between a real tail beast and this chakra was in one's consciousness. The most important thing was to obtain the approval of the tail beast.
"Send this kid to the hospital for treatment. When his arm is healed, get someone to send him away from Muye and send him back to the Temple of Fire.”As Tuan Zang spoke, he left the cultivation field without looking back.
Although he respected Kong's choice, Tuan Zang was actually a little disappointed. This kid's talent in the original novel was really good, and he was also a wind chakra's main attribute like Naruto and himself. It was just a pity that his talent was a little too good.
Walking out of the training ground, there were no idle people on the streets of Time Leaf in the afternoon. Yuan Fei followed by the side and recounted the matters of the past. Tuan Zang chatted with him casually.
After all, it was just the experience of the Pot King. After the mental aspect was strengthened, the original owner's memory was extremely clear, like a book for the group to browse at any time. He could even flip through the things that the original owner did not remember when she was young.
" The war is about to begin. If the fourth war of the Ninja Realm really does happen one day, I hope that you can take on the role of a commander and head to the battlefield again. If I'm still alive by then, I'll help you handle the logistics.”Yuan Fei suddenly opened his mouth.
"Of course, I'm also a part of Muye.”Tuan Zang said without hesitation," However, I should be able to handle the logistics myself…"
The disdain in his words was not concealed at all, making Yuan Fei laugh involuntarily.
"Don't worry, I won't let Men Yan and the others return to the battlefield. Perhaps they are no longer suitable for the current era. They have stayed in the village for too long.”Yuan Fei explained.
Perhaps it was because his body was getting worse day by day, or perhaps it was because his inner fatigue had long changed his mind. He no longer had those schemes in his heart. He only wanted to hand over Mu Ye to the next generation in the remaining time and prepare everything for the next generation.
" I plan to let Zirai come back and inherit my position. Although the fourth generation will be led by Watergate, there is no one in the new generation that I can entrust to.”Yuan Fei looked at Tuan Zang as he spoke. He was somewhat concerned about Tuan Zang's reaction.
"Self-love?"
"Do you think that guy would stay in Muye and be a Naruto with his personality?" Tanzang turned his head in confusion. Moreover, he's not young anymore. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll probably die with you in another ten years.”
Given the current situation, the pressure on Naruto was not small. The pressure on his body was definitely not limited to the pressure on his body. The mental pressure would be even greater, and the mental exhaustion would be immeasurable.
" I don't think I'll agree to it either. Actually, I have another candidate in mind, but Kakashi has already handed over the matters at hand to others according to your request. He's prepared to be Naruto's guide..."
"This matter has already been decided. I won't change it.”Tanzo interrupted him. He didn't have the time to wholeheartedly guide the cultivation of Naruto and the other two, but the three of them were considered all-rounded ninjas.
There weren't many all-rounded ninjas among the Muye Ninjas, and Kakashi was one of the top ninjas among them. He was the most suitable person to guide the three of them.
Yuan Fei Ri Zhan sighed." Then the candidates who are qualified to take up the role of Naruto are only Selaiya and Tsunami. If Selaiya is unwilling to be Naruto, I plan to let him go and find Tsunami."”
"That's not bad. As a member of the Thousand Hands Clan, Okami's vitality and lifespan are longer than ordinary people. Moreover, she's a Medical Ninja. If she takes your position, she should be able to handle the pressure brought by Naruto's position very well.”Tuan Zang nodded in agreement with Yuan Fei's idea.
Okami's methods were different from Yuan Fei's indecisiveness. Perhaps it would give Tuan Zang some surprises.
……
Under the gentle sunlight, Tuan Zang brought the nine little ones along the Muye street.
Although he did not know what would happen in the future under his interference, these nine were undoubtedly worth recruiting. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show them a different world.
"Uncle Tanzo, where are you taking us?”Naruto asked loudly, his hands crossed over his head. On his left was Hatata, who was walking quietly, and on his right was Ino, who was also extroverted.
The others around them were silent due to the strange atmosphere between the three of them, but Naruto himself did not seem to notice anything.
Tuan Zang looked at him and smiled,""You'll know when you get there."
Because of Hatata, the mature Naruto was also very concerned about his appearance. From time to time, he would ask Tanzo for some ways to maintain his image. Because the beard that grew out of Nine-tailed had been shaved off, the style of his clothes had changed greatly.
It wasn't surprising that Naruto, who already had a good foundation and was more mature in his behavior, could be liked by girls. However, being popular was one thing, and whether or not he could control himself was another.
As they got closer and closer to their target, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around them, and the place became more and more remote. At the same time, Naruto's expression became a little strange. In the end, he could not help but ask,"Are we going to the orphanage?”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a building with the words Muye Orphanage appeared in front of them.
"Uncle Tanzo, why did you bring us here?”Naruto looked at the familiar building and asked. He had lived here for a while when he was young, and he had a not-so-good but ordinary memory.
There was no discrimination or hatred in this place. There were only orphans like him and many kind-hearted staff.
Tuan Zang stood in front of the confused people and waved his hand to signal them to look at the orphanage behind him. He explained,"This is one of the more famous orphanage in Muye. There are many similar orphanage in Muye.”
"The orphans in this orphanage are the sons of heroes. Their elders are heroes who died fighting for Muye. Of course, there are also other orphans, but this one is more famous, so I brought you here to take a look.”
The few of them nodded and understood what the group meant. In the past, when they were in the Ninja School, they had organized trips to nursing homes, mostly to let them understand the value of peace.
However, most of the children who stayed in the orphanage were young, so the Ninja School was not organized.
