Chapter 259: Leaving Konoha After Three Years
Chapter 259: Leaving Konoha After Three Years
Yeruashi entered the Hokage's office, poured himself a cup of tea and picked up the documents from the desk.
Since the upper level of Konoha is now divided into three levels, not many documents come to the Hokage's office. Yeruashi's personal attention requires something like promotion to the rank of Jounin, mobilization of massive forces, expenditure of large funds, and so on.
Shikaku Nara and the heads of various departments are the first level of decision making, mostly dealing with the simple daily affairs of Konoha, and the most important matters go to Tsunade.
And only if Tsunade personally can't solve the problem, it will go to Yeruashi.
"Huh?"
Yeruashi slowly looked at the documents and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, immediately starting to read one of them carefully.
The document contains information about Takigakure.
Takigakure was founded about the same time as the five Great Villages, before the outbreak of the First Ninja World War. This village is second only to the five Great Villages, Takigakure can safely be called the sixth largest ninja village, in the past they even received a Bijuu from Hashirama.
They received Nanabi.
In the wars that followed, Takigakure's position as the Sixth Greatest Ninja Village gradually faded and was instead occupied by Amegakure, becoming the strongest village outside of the five Greatest Ninja Villages, but was then destroyed by Yeruashi.
Takigakure has always had a good relationship with Konoha, so despite being close to the border of the Fire Country, Konoha has never acted against Takigakure, but recently began to exert strong pressure, forcing Takigakure to become part of Konoha.
It would be impossible to unify the ninja world completely without bloodshed.
The Fifth Hokage has a gentle side, but also a strong and ruthless side.
Rebellious ninja, as a rule, were mercilessly killed.
In the eyes of the Yeruashi, a much larger civilian population is far more important than a relatively small number of ninja.
It is the attitude of the civilian population that has the greatest influence on the process of merging countries, and wars and looting have a very negative impact, so Yeruashi did not care much about the resistance of the ninja villages.
He didn't care about the resistance of the other ninja, because it was all meaningless.
According to this information, there was no open conflict between Konoha and Takigakure, but Takigakure was under a lot of pressure and was very anxious, especially given the aging of Nanabi's Jinchuriki, so they decided to replace the Jinchuriki as soon as possible.
As a result of hasty actions, unforeseen circumstances arose. Due to insufficient seal strength, problems occurred during the sealing process, causing Nanabi to break the seal and break free.
After going through several extremely difficult world wars, at present, Takigakure has only about a thousand ninja, and the strongest of them cannot reach the level of the Five Hokages of the Great Ninja Villages, so they were unable to suppress the Bijuu, and the village was almost destroyed, and Nanabi disappeared.
Of course.
It would not be entirely correct to say that the Bija is gone, because Takigakure, as the village that has controlled the Bijuu for many years, certainly has a way to track Nanabi.
But the problem is that Takigakure simply cannot suppress the Bijuu.
With the village nearly destroyed and the Bijuu out of control, the rest of the village quickly came to a decision and decided to surrender to Konoha.
"Chmei, the Seven-Tailed Bijuu..."
Yeruashi fell into deep thoughts and, after a while, called the Shadow Guard and said, "Accept the surrender of Takigakure, let Shikaku immediately send two thousand ninja to restore order and take control of the Waterfall Country."
Information about the situation in Takigakure cannot be hidden and, according to Yeruashi, soon, with the spread of news, panic and chaos will break out in the Waterfall Country.
"Yes!"
The Shadow Guard immediately accepted the order and proceeded to execute it.
After a short time.
In the Hokage's office, a black space vortex appeared, and then Kakashi came out of it and said to Yeruashi, "Should I go to the Cascade Country? Nanabi must be restrained, right?"
"You don't have to go."
Yeruashi stood up, stretched his body and said, "Leave it to me, it's been almost three years since I left the village and soon I'll be like a fat and lazy fox, it's worth it to take a walk and get some fresh air."
Kakashi smiled secretly and said, "Brother, who will you take with you, Rin or Kurenai? I think it would be better to take both of them? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage here alone..."
Yeruashi : "????"
Yeruashi rolled his eyes and said, "It seems like it's been too long since I checked your training results. Hmph, let's go to the outskirts of Konoha! Show me your progress in developing the Sage Corps!"
"Ah...this...I have things to do...next time..."
After these words, a black vortex instantly and enveloped Kakashi's body.
After developing the Sage Body to a certain extent, Kakashi was able to use Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan without any side effects, it's just that due to the lack of the Uchiha Clan's lineage, he couldn't advance the power of the Dojutsu to the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kakashi needs to develop the Sage Body to a higher level, so that when combined with the power of the Dojutsu, there will be gradual changes, in the course of which the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan will reach the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Yeruashi shook his head.
Initially, he just wanted to take a walk in the fresh air, but after listening to Kakashi's suggestion and thinking about Chmei, Yeruashi came to the conclusion that Kurenai was well suited to become his Jinchuriki.
Since Rin is now the Jinchuriki of the Sanbi, he would let Kurenai become Nanabi's Jinchuriki.
Just then.
Kurenai entered the Hokage's office with a soda.
Yeruashi looked at the iced tea on the table and said, " Kurenai, come here for a moment."
"Hmm?"
Kurenai looked at Yeruashi and blinked in confusion.
Is he asking her to come over?
What is Yeruashi going to do?
Could it be...
Kurenai's mind quickly became engulfed by many strange thoughts, and her cheeks were very red, but she didn't resist and went to Yeruashi.
It is impossible to describe in words the charm of a shy yet obedient girl.
Observing Kurenai's behavior, Yeruashi had a rough idea of what she was thinking. He shook his head helplessly, it seems that Kurenai is already completely distorted by Anko....
This is the Hokage's office....
What kind of illusionary image did this girl come up with!
Yeruashi activated Tenseigan, looked closely at Kurenai and grabbed her wrist, then poured chakra into her body, checking her physical state.
Although Kurenai practices the Cell Stimulation Technique, his volume of his chakra has not yet reached the Kage level, so there is no chance to practice Senjutsu and develop the Sage Body.
"I wonder if it will work..."
After examining Kurenai's body, Yeruashi showed a thoughtful look.
If Kurenai was qualified to practice Senjutsu, even the most basic Sage Body would allow her to carry Nanabi's power without worrying about incompatibility at all.
But just the Cell Stimulation Technique was not enough. If Chmei violently resisted, it would be very difficult for Kurenai to become his Jinchuriki.
However.
As long as Kurenai and Chmei are more or less compatible, at least without reaching a completely opposite state like fire and water, Kurenai should be able to become a normal Jinchuriki.
"This is... Hokage... Hokage-sama...."
Feeling Yeruashi's chakra in his body and seeing the sky blue glow in his eyes, Kurenai realized that Yeruashi was watching his body from all angles....
At that moment, Kurenai felt a strange weakness all over her body, and her cheeks became even redder, involuntarily she felt a strong embarrassment and wanted to withdraw, but there was still a glimmer of expectation shining in the back of her eyes.
Yeruashi pulled his hand away, looked at Kurenai and said, "Kurenai, go get ready, I'm going to the Waterfall Country, you will be the escort."
"Huh? Okay, okay..."
Kurenai felt surprised.
To be Yeruashi's escort? Did that mean the two of them were going to leave Konoha together?
Yeruashi was going to confess!!!!
Ah, happiness came all too suddenly!
Kurenai's voice was visibly shaking and her thoughts were in chaos.
"..."
Looking at Kurenai as she walked out of the office, Yeruashi couldn't help but think that she was already coming up with a name for her future son....
