176Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 176 Ten-tailed Jinchūriki?
"It really succeeded."
Shukaku circled the Gedo Statue a few times, exclaiming, "Don't we count as having made history?"
"I suppose so!"
Gyūki rumbled, his heart also greatly astonished.
Three years.
For the first two years, they focused on increasing their own strength, and only in the last year did they channel their Chakra into the Gedo Statue.
They had thought it was a pipe dream, but they never expected it to actually succeed.
"You haven't mentioned the main point."
"The main point?"
"Exactly!"
The Nine-Tailed grinned, "Do you know what this place is?"
"A dimension."
"That's right!"
The Nine-Tailed lifted his paw and waved it a few times, then proudly looked up and said, "This is Naruto's dimension, so anyone who enters here without his permission can only be a being without sentience."
"So..."
The Nine-Tailed tutted, "This is a non-sentient Ten-Tails, the God Tree!"
"This can create a perfect Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."
Hearing the Nine-Tailed's words, the Tailed Beasts present exchanged glances, startled.
That's right!
This is a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki—how powerful would that be?
"Starting at Six Paths level!"
The Nine-Tailed's expression was complex.
How many years had passed in the Ninja World for it to already be starting at Six Paths level?
Truly...
But thankfully, it was one of their own.
On second thought, they felt it was good; the stronger their own people were, the better.
"By the way, this Ten-Tails Jinchuriki thing isn't really useful for Naruto, is it?"
Three-Tails Isobu was splashing in the spirit spring water, suspiciously saying, "Naruto's Sage Modehas been developed to an incredibly terrifying degree; a so-called Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is completely optional for him."
"Idiot!"
The Nine-Tailed said with a tone of disappointment, "Who are those two sticking together outside?"
"Hinata, of course it's for her."
The Nine-Tailed spoke eloquently, "I can guarantee one hundred percent that if there's no hanky-panky between those two, then ghosts don't exist."
"That makes sense!"
Naruto was just like that—very good to his own people.
The closer someone was to him, the more he cared.
Clearly, Hinata was the one he cared about most now.
Through these years of ups and downs, subtly and continuously, the two of them had walked this path together.
"I wonder how strong Naruto is now."
Four-Tails Son Gokū was eager to try.
The other Tailed Beasts: "..."
They also really wanted to know.
...
"Hahaha, I, Kakashi, am finally back!"
Outside Konoha Village, Kakashi roared to the sky, tears welling up in his eyes, "Might Guy, I'm back."
"Hahaha, Kakashi, let me see if you've made any progress over these years."
As soon as Might Guy heard Kakashi's voice, he rushed over like a cat seeing a mouse.
Might Guy raised his hand and patted Kakashi's shoulder, grinning, "Youth cannot be wasted, Kakashi, you owe me several battles."
"I say, can't you let me rest a bit? I just got back."
Might Guy looked a bit hurt, "Kakashi, you've changed."
"I haven't changed, you're just too clingy."
Kakashi looked disgusted, "I need to go back, take a shower, and then lie down comfortably."
"By the way, why did Naruto let you come back this time? Who's going to take your place?"
Kisame Hoshigaki stood to the side, quietly watching the two, with the happy Mei Terumīstanding beside him.
As for the Hidden Mist Village, she had left it to Chōjūrō.
"Jiraiya-sama!"
Kakashi rubbed his chin under his mask and tilted his head back, "I don't know how Naruto convinced him."
"Anyway, I'm back to rest for a while this time, no missions."
"Come on, let's have a party tonight, a big meal."
Might Guy put his arm around Kakashi's shoulder, and the two swaggered into Konoha Village.
Not far away,
Tsunade stood with her arms crossed, watching the scene with interest.
"Jiraiya left, aren't you going with him?"
"What's there to go with? I've never been on good terms with him."
"He's liked you for many years."
Orochimaru felt sorry for Jiraiya when he heard Tsunade's words.
After all, Jiraiya really did like Tsunade.
"Do you know why Jiraiya was kicked out this time?"
"Huh?"
Orochimaru looked bewildered; he had been busy researching strange things and rarely inquired about matters in Konoha Village.
He genuinely didn't know why Jiraiya had left.
"Because a dog can't change its habit of eating shit!"
Tsunade said coldly.
Orochimaru: "..."
"I was thinking that's just his nature; nothing has happened for so many years."
"Hinata has grown up."
Orochimaru: "..."
An unbeatable reason, I understand.
"If he had changed his bad habit of peeping, Narutowouldn't have made him leave, and he had given him a lot of freedom."
"The problem is he can't change it."
Tsunade turned and walked away, "Serves him right. The environment in the places Kakashigoverns is harsh, and most of them are similar to my temper. He's in for a tough time."
Tsunade's voice revealed a sense of relief.
Orochimaru mourned for Jiraiya for three minutes in his heart.
At the same time, he felt a bit of schadenfreude.
Smiles don't disappear; they just change targets.
At this moment, Orochimaru was smiling very brightly.
...
Night,
After dinner, Kakashi quietly came to the Hokage Office.
Nara Shikaku had become even more mature, and Shikamaru was also helping to organize documents.
"Kakashi?"
Seeing Kakashi arrive, Nara Shikaku was a little surprised, "Aren't you resting? What are you doing here so late?"
"Where's Naruto?"
"He probably went to see a movie with his girlfriend?" Nara Shikaku took a sip of water, "Are you looking for him for something?"
"Yes, it's something, but telling you is the same. Even from far away, I know Naruto isn't really managing things."
"What is it?"
Nara Shikaku crossed his arms, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
"It's about the Kara!"
"Kara?"
Nara Shikaku's expression became solemn, "What, did you get some information?"
"A few researchers infiltrated my institute. Some of them had close ties with the Kara in secret, stealing research results."
Kakashi tutted, "I don't know why they're so bold. The Ninja World is about to be unified, and instead of settling down, they're trying to cause trouble again."
"Actually, I don't understand either."
Nara Shikaku shook his head, "One can only say that human desires are never satisfied; they are endless."
"These are the names, and I've already imprisoned the people, but they're all external personnel, so they don't have much intelligence value."
"It's already good enough."
Nara Shikaku sighed helplessly.
Since they first encountered members of the Karaat the ruins in the Land of Rain three years ago, they had intermittently caught a few over these three years.
However, none of them were core members.
"There will be results eventually."
Nara Shikaku was very confident.
A group of rats in the gutter, how could they know how powerful Konoha Village was at this very moment?
How awesome was Konoha Village now?
Nara Shikaku fell into a memory, back to the internal strength assessment meeting that Narutohad initiated, which was not made public at the time...
