Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

After listening to Nara Shinei's analysis, Jiraiya's expression turned very serious.

Jiraiya summarized, "So this means Chinya was sent to the Land of Grass specifically for Uzumaki Miyuki, intending for her to become the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Nara Shinei nodded. "Yes, Jiraiya-sama. The matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is extremely important. Regardless of whether Chinya's true purpose is this or not, we should report it to the Hokage."

Jiraiya understood how crucial this matter was. As a war weapon, the Jinchuriki warranted the utmost caution.

"I'll report it to the old man."

After leaving, Jiraiya first wrote a letter to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In the letter, he detailed everything — from Uzumaki Miyuki's situation to Nara Shinei's suspicions, and even Chinya and Kakashi's request for reassignment to the Land of Hot Water.

After sending the message back to Konoha using his ninja hawk, Jiraiya stood up from his chair.

"Let me go ask Chinya exactly what he's planning."

When Jiraiya found Chinya and Kakashi just finishing their meal at their post and preparing to rest.

"Chinya, let's talk."

Chinya frowned deeply. Another talk? Seriously? Jiraiya really was such a hassle.

But rank mattered; when Jiraiya asked for a talk, Chinya couldn't refuse.

"Kakashi, you go back and rest first."

Once Kakashi had gone, Chinya and Jiraiya moved to sit beneath a tree.

Jiraiya asked, "Chinya, why are you looking for Uzumaki Miyuki?"

Chinya slightly furrowed his brow. "Just happened to find her."

Jiraiya stared intently at Chinya. "Happened to? I don't think it's just coincidence. Shinei analyzed your movements since arriving in the Land of Grass and concluded you were deliberately searching for someone.

Chinya, you already know about the Jinchuriki, don't you? And the reason you came to the Land of Grass was specifically to find Uzumaki Miyuki.

Your goal is indeed to make Uzumaki Miyuki replace Kushina as the Jinchuriki, isn't it?"

A slight smirk tugged at the corner of Chinya's lips.

The Naras are always sharp-minded — tough opponents to fool. He hadn't expected that Nara Shinei would uncover his intentions from mere fragments of clues.

Now that he'd been found out, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

Chinya admitted, "That's right. My true intention is indeed to have Uzumaki Miyuki replace Kushina as the Jinchuriki."

Jiraiya said seriously, "Chinya, give it up. This won't work. Kushina has learned Lady Mito's Sealing Technique. After becoming the Jinchuriki, she'll be able to suppress the Nine-Tails and prevent it from going berserk.

If Miyuki were chosen, she doesn't know the sealing arts at all — she wouldn't be able to control the Nine-Tails. It would spiral out of control, unleashing catastrophic damage on Konoha.

What's more, Mito-sama doesn't have much time left or the strength to train Uzumaki Miyuki. So Chinya, stop wasting your time chasing a lost cause!

I promise you, only a handful of people know the fact that Kushina has been selected as the Jinchuriki. You don't need to worry about her being treated unfairly in Konoha."

Chinya wore a faint mocking smile. "So, Jiraiya-sama is the kind to waste time on fruitless matters? As for Jiraiya-sama's promise, it seems like something you're incapable of fulfilling after all.

Sakumo's case wasn't that long ago. If classified affairs can become public knowledge, then what else couldn't happen as well?"

Jiraiya opened his mouth but couldn't find a word to counter.

Chinya continued, "If Jiraiya-sama fears that Uzumaki Miyuki might lose control as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and cause unforeseeable damage to Konoha, please rest assured—such a situation won't occur.

[Sealing Technique] isn't beyond Uzumaki Miyuki's reach even after becoming the Jinchuriki. Until she learns it, I'll keep the Nine-Tails under control myself!"

Jiraiya stared at Chinya in disbelief. "You'll suppress the Nine-Tails? How could you possibly do that?"

Chinya activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. "This pair of eyes—you should recognize them, Jiraiya-sama. The Mangekyo Sharingan, capable of controlling Tailed Beasts. Now tell me, Jiraiya-sama, do you still think I'm wasting time on something pointless?"

Jiraiya stared in shock at Chinya's eyes.

He hadn't expected Chinya to have developed the advanced form of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan—the Mangekyo Sharingan.

At present, wasn't there no one in the entire Uchiha Clan who had managed to unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Yet Chinya, with only half-Uchiha blood, had done so.

If members of the Uchiha Clan found out, how much of a blow would this be to them?

Still, Jiraiya refused to accept replacing Kushina Uzumaki with Miyuki Uzumaki as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.

With heartfelt concern, he advised, "Chinya, even if you've unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan and can suppress the Nine-Tails, will you always be able to watch over Miyuki Uzumaki?

The old man won't agree. After all, Kushina being the Jinchuriki is the safest option. And with your Mangekyo Sharingan around, she'd be even safer."

Chinya deactivated the Mangekyo Sharingan and calmly replied, "Jiraiya-sama, I believe more in making things happen than in fate. Since we haven't reached that day yet, everything is still possible in my eyes.

Unless there's anything else, Jiraiya-sama, I'll take my leave now. The trip to the Land of Hot Water isn't exactly convenient—thank you for handling that matter, Jiraiya-sama."

Without waiting for Jiraiya to respond, Chinya turned and walks away.

He knows clearly in his heart that regardless of what he says, Jiraiya will still report everything back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Rather than provoke suspicion from Hiruzen, it's better to let them know his intentions proactively.

With the Mangekyo Sharingan in his possession, Chinya believed Hiruzen would carefully reassess his worth.

Moreover, given the ongoing wartime, as long as he builds up achievements, his importance will grow increasingly evident.

Once his value surpasses the risk Miyuki brings as the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, even if Hiruzen rejects him now, he'll eventually agree later.

Besides, there's still the Uchiha Clan—an issue stuck in Hiruzen's throat like a bone.

The Uchiha Clan is currently very active on the battlefield, with nearly every capable Uchiha ninja assigned to different fronts.

Everyone in Konoha understands why the Uchiha Clan is acting this way.

The Uchiha Clan certainly isn't trying to shine and contribute to Konoha—they must have hidden intentions.

At present, the Uchiha hold no real influence before high-ranking officials like Hiruzen Sarutobi. Their current efforts are nothing but a struggle to gain power.

Previously, when Uchiha Masaki asked Fugaku Uchiha to seek an apology from Chinya, it wasn't solely due to his Sharingan—the main reason was that Chinya had offered Thunder Breathing and joined the Hokage faction.

Therefore, Uchiha Masaki's favorable gestures toward him were merely an investment in his future.
