67Nine-Tailed Fox: JiejiejieAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 67 Nine-Tailed Fox: Jiejiejie
Given Naruto's personality, will he cause a major blow to Mount Myōboku?
Naruto currently has the strength to do so.
"Oh no, it seems like it's really going to be over. I need to go and warn them."
Jiraiya took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in his heart.
Who could have expected such a turn of events? Even the Great Toad Sage probably hadn't thought of it.
A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
Yes!
It certainly looks that way right now, but Narutomight very well be that fated person of legend.
The young boy who plays with Tailed Beasts.
It seems he has indeed been found, but the development of events has completely exceeded their expectations.
Instead of forming a good relationship, it seems they've become enemies.
"For now, let's see how we can remedy this."
Sighing,
Jiraiya planned to make time to visit Mount Myōboku again.
"What a mess."
...
"Full of vitality!"
When the Daimyō arrived at Konoha Village again, he was surprised to find some differences.
There was no longer that oppressive feeling; instead, there was a sense of positivity and vibrancy.
It was like an ancient, withered tree coming back to life, regaining its vitality.
"Minato Namikaze, Fourth Hokage."
Taking a newspaper from a nearby newsstand, the Daimyō narrowed his eyes as he read it carefully.
It detailed the many years of unfair treatment Naruto had suffered.
"Konoha F4?"
"What is that?"
The Daimyō was somewhat confused. Looking closely, the description made the Daimyō's mouth twitch.
"This really is... apt."
"However, it seems that what these people did was indeed somewhat unethical."
The Daimyō stroked his chin.
He couldn't really interfere with Konoha Village's affairs.
After all, Ninja matters were different from those of ordinary people like them.
Especially for Konoha Village; although they were the embodiment of the Land of Fire's military strength, they also had a cooperative relationship.
No choice,
The Ninja of Konoha Village were just that powerful.
However, nominally, Konoha Village still obeyed him, the Daimyō of the Land of Fire.
"Old man Sarutobi, in the end, he still died as a hero. That's not bad."
"Let me see what this current Fourth Hokageintends to do."
The Daimyō closed his folding fan and leisurely walked towards the Hokage Office.
...
"Minato, long time no see."
In the office,
Naruto and the Daimyō sat opposite each other, sipping tea.
The Daimyō raised his cup and said with a chuckle, "Can you tell me how you were resurrected?"
"Resurrected? I never died!"
Naruto shook his head and said earnestly, "I certainly looked dead at the time, but in fact, my soul was fighting a duel with the Shinigami."
Shinigami?
The Daimyō was stunned.
Nara Shikaku, who was beside him, had a strange expression.
Nonsense.
Where would a Shinigami come from? Even if there were a Shinigami, your old man would definitely have been swallowed.
Nine-Tailed: "..."
He didn't know why, but he strangely felt that Naruto was telling the truth.
Oh, this...
Could it be that Minato Namikaze was currently somewhere fighting a life-and-death battle with the Shinigami?
"Then, you won?"
"I barely won. My soul returned, but I found I had been buried."
Naruto sighed, "Cultivation knows no time. In that place, I didn't feel much time had passed, but five or six years had gone by when I came out."
"Amazing!"
The Daimyō's expression was solemn.
He had been completely fooled.
No other reason,
Many things about Ninja are bizarre; even people from the Pure Land can briefly return.
Shinigami?
There are even Evil Gods, so there's nothing strange about it.
If anything was strange, it was Minato Namikazebefore him.
He had been dead for five or six years, and his body hadn't rotted.
"The way Konoha Village preserves corpses is quite impressive. When I die, I must use it so that future generations can admire my heroic posture."
The Daimyō mused internally, feeling slightly excited.
Who wouldn't want to remain uncorrupted for a thousand years?
He was the Daimyō; he had to have that kind of prestige.
"How should I put this, you were a bit rash this time, but Konoha Village seems to be doing well under your control, so you can be the Hokage in the future."
The Daimyō smiled, 'Anyway, you've been Hokagebefore, so it's second nature.'
"Alright."
Naruto's smile was sincere.
The smile on the Daimyō's face also became more sincere.
The two looked at each other and laughed heartily.
The Daimyō raised his cup, "Drink tea, drink tea."
"Together."
The Daimyō took a sip, his gaze sweeping to the side, sighing inwardly.
Oh my goodness.
He actually managed to escape from the Shinigami.
This man is too formidable; I'd better deal with him carefully.
Hopefully, he won't cause any trouble.
The intelligence about the previous rebellion couldn't be kept secret, so the Daimyō naturally received the news.
He could only say: I can't afford to provoke him, truly can't afford to provoke him.
Since he couldn't afford to provoke him, they should cooperate well for mutual benefit.
As for future matters, they could be discussed in the future.
Minato Namikaze was a very gentle person, just like the First Hokage, with no ambition.
Perhaps he could be used.
Even if his ambition swelled in the future, that would be a matter for later.
Would he be able to stop him then?
The Daimyō saw things very clearly.
If he couldn't stop him, then others couldn't either, right?
Then it evens out.
At most, everyone would be finished together in the end.
That was better than being finished alone, so he understood.
Thus, host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Nine-Tailed: "They're all foxes; they look truly disgusting."
Huh!
No, I should say they're all mountain spirits and monsters, looking terrifying.
Foxes?
Foxes are so cute.
The Nine-Tailed shook its head, suddenly feeling something stir in its belly. It looked down, poked with its paw, and its eyes lit up:
"They've hatched, my little darlings."
"Grow up quickly, I want to eat you."
"Slurp!"
"They must be delicious."
Blinking its mouth, the Nine-Tailed was already fantasizing about the so-called delicacies.
Its gaze then turned to the cattle sheds and pigpens enclosed by railings not far away.
It would occasionally throw some vegetables into the pigpen.
As for the cattle sheds, it had long since planted a lot of grass.
This grass grew very quickly, enough for these cows to eat, crop after crop.
Calf: "Mommy, Daddy, I'm so happy."
This was a fairyland.
There was so much delicious grass that they couldn't finish it, but they had to work.
That monster with a huge tail looked so scary.
"Hehehe!"
The Nine-Tailed chuckled eerily.
Only by moving would the beef taste fresh and delicious later.
And they could also have calves; the calves could also plow the land and tasted good.
They were treasures all over.
And these pigs...
The Nine-Tailed was already a bit impatient.
...
At the same time, outside Konoha Village, two dusty figures finally returned.
"We're back."
Kakashi looked at Konoha Village before him, feeling a little uneasy.
"Kakashi, relax. You'll know once you see it."
Might Guy patted Kakashi's shoulder, "Right now, Konoha Village needs people."
"I know."
Kakashi nodded.
Konoha Village's foundation was solid, so everything wasn't a big problem.
On the contrary,
Kakashi didn't feel too much sadness about the death of the Third Hokage and the others.
Ultimately, his father's death was certainly inextricably linked to them.
"Wait, what's that?"
Suddenly,
Might Guy and Kakashi's eyes widened, staring dumbfounded at the entrance of Konoha Village...
