Tsunade's appointment as Hokage was also a reluctant one. Her gambling nature had been suppressed for a long time due to this matter, so she naturally wouldn't object to having a successor.
"You want me to be Hokage… I can certainly do that…" Kaoru raised an eyebrow and said, "However, after I become Hokage, I might implement some measures you wouldn't expect. So don't blame me then…"
"Measures? What measures?" Hearing a hint of ill intent in Kaoru's words, Koharu Utatane immediately asked.
"I can't reveal them to you yet. But rest assured, it won't be anything harmful to Konoha," Kaoru said calmly, spreading his hands. "After all, I've protected this village countless times. If I become Hokage, I certainly won't destroy it…"
"We've seen your contributions to Konoha…" The Third Hokage nodded. "As long as it's nothing detrimental to Konoha, then there's no major issue."
"It's good that Lord Third Hokage is reasonable…" Kaoru smiled and nodded. "In that case, I can indeed accept the position of Hokage…"
Becoming Hokage was merely Kaoru's first step. There were many more things to accomplish…
"Is that so? That's wonderful…" Hearing Kaoru's agreement, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a sigh of relief. This had also resolved one of his concerns. In his view, as long as Kaoru became Hokage, the sheer deterrent power of Kaoru's strength alone would prevent ninjas from other countries from acting rashly.
"Wait for a while? Why?" Everyone present was somewhat confused.
"After a certain event occurs, we'll hold the succession ceremony…" Kaoru murmured with a mysterious smile.
"Alright…" Although they didn't understand Kaoru's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others nodded.
...
At this time, in the Cloud Hidden Village, within the Thunder Cloud Ravine.
An eagle circled in the sky. White clouds dotted the sky, and a mountain peak, wide at the base and pointed at the top, stood amidst the sea. Halfway up the mountain, a house was built around it.
A perfect Jinchūriki, Killer Bee, emerged from the house. He had eight sharp blades on his back, the character "Iron" tattooed on his right shoulder, a bull horn pattern on his left cheek, wore sunglasses, and had brown skin.
As soon as he stepped out, he encountered four ninjas clad in red cloud black robes.
These four ninjas were Sasuke's Hawk team, who had been ordered by Obito to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.
"You're the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, right?" Sasuke asked knowingly.
"You should say, 'Are you Lord Eight-Tails?' 'Are you the Jinchūriki?'" Killer Bee rapped.
"I'm here to capture you." A strong wind blew, rustling Sasuke's hair. A small amount of dust swirled around the ground and drifted away. The scene fell silent…
"To gain that guy's trust, I can only apologize…" Sasuke thought to himself as he looked at Killer Bee before him, then spoke, "I'll handle capturing him. Suigetsu on the right, Jugo on the left. Karin, get behind me!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't start fighting without a word, you bastard!" Killer Bee said, crossing his arms as he looked at their formation.
"Clang!!!"
Suigetsu quickly charged towards Killer Bee, launching his attack.
"Let me interject, and give you a piece of advice, you scoundrels, you fools!" Killer Bee continued to rap.
Meanwhile, Sasuke and Jugo also charged forward. Just like in the original story, Killer Bee calmly dealt with the attacks of the three. Soon, Sasuke and the other two were completely overwhelmed. Sasuke's internal organs were even shattered. If Jugo and Karin hadn't been there, he would have died countless times over…
However, even so, facing these three seemingly invincible opponents, Killer Bee became enraged. He raised his left hand above his head, brought his thumb and middle finger together, and let out a loud roar.
"Oooooh!!!"
With Killer Bee's strange cry, his body began to change. A layer of clearly visible red bubbles slowly appeared. After a moment, as the red chakra covered Killer Bee, six chakra bubble tails began to sway from behind him!
"I'll make you despair, then destroy you! As a Jinchūriki, my true form, complete Tailed Beast transformation!!!"
As Killer Bee moved his hands, the bubble tails that appeared behind him began to solidify, transforming into massive octopus tentacles. As the eight octopus tentacles continued to grow, they lifted dust from the ground, which spread and concealed Killer Bee's transformed giant form as the Eight-Tails.
"Boom…"
From within the dust, the Eight-Tails' massive body was finally revealed in its entirety. A giant ox with octopus-like tentacle tails, its breath visible through the dust spewed from its nostrils, appeared before Sasuke and the other three.
"Assassinate the enemy, assassinate the long-horned ox, Woo-ah!!!" Killer Bee's rap voice came from the Eight-Tails' enormous mouth!
"This chakra is unbelievable!!!" Karin felt an incredibly powerful chakra emanating from the Eight-Tails' massive body!
"Are you serious, Bee? To go into Tailed Beast mode just to fight these brats?" In a separate dimension, the Eight-Tails asked Killer Bee.
"No, no, no, the brats are secondary. The main thing is that I can use this opportunity to escape my brother's watch and go find Teacher A!" Killer Bee shouted excitedly.
"I see. You have other intentions." The Eight-Tails sighed.
After a moment, the two had a private conversation, and as if they had decided on something, Killer Bee's face showed a happy expression.
"Amaterasu!!!"
At this moment, Sasuke also used his first ability after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan: Amaterasu.
Slightly crimson blood flowed from his left eye. As Sasuke uttered a low cry, his left eye focused on the Eight-Tails. Instantly, black flames, covering the sky and earth, engulfed the entire massive body.
"Waaaaahhhh!!!"
The Eight-Tails let out a tragic howl that echoed for a hundred meters. The black flames clung to the Eight-Tails' body, making sizzling sounds and burning continuously.
"Plop!!!"
Burning from the black flames, the Eight-Tails, in agony, flipped over and plunged into the sea, seeking to extinguish the flames and reduce the burning pain!
"Waaaaah!!!"
Although the Eight-Tails continued to howl, its eight tails thrashed like dragons in a stormy sea, splashing water everywhere, the sound of rushing water incessant.
It seemed so, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, one of the Eight-Tails' tentacles, untouched by the black flames, swung directly towards Sasuke!
