MTLNOVEL Chapter 145: The Hidden Danger of Tailed Beasts
Konoha Year 36, Autumn.
On the western coast of Uzushiogakure, three dark shadows approached from afar, riding the waves.
In just a few minutes, they expanded from millet-like black dots to three figures, two men and one woman, and successfully landed.
At the forefront was a tall young man, wearing a black combat suit, with a resolute face, healthy wheat-colored skin, and a lion's mane-like white long hair. Two blood-tear-like face lines drooped along his eyes.
"Tuk tuk."
The sound of high-heeled ninja boots landing came from behind, it was a tall female ninja.
She had a beautiful face, delicate and moving, and simple white clothes and a red skirt highlighted her devilish figure vividly. Her long golden hair was combed into a natural double ponytail, and a light purple diamond-shaped mark was studded on her fair forehead.
Behind her was a boy wearing a Konoha forehead protector.
The boy had neat short hair and a delicate appearance, with a seven-point similarity to the woman. As soon as he landed, he couldn't help but gasp for breath.
Obviously, this sea crossing trip was not so easy for him.
But soon, under the blowing of the sea breeze, the fatigue on his face was replaced by full of energy.
"Wow, is this the hometown of grandma, Uzushiogakure?"
The boy looked around curiously, and the crystal pendant on his chest swayed slightly with the ups and downs of his chest.
"That's right, speaking of which, I only came here once when I was very young." The woman looked at the vague outline of the village in the distance, and her eyes showed a little reminiscence.
Her slightly frowned eyebrows still faintly revealed a trace of worry.
"Sister, don't worry, this is your brother's first mission, and he will definitely complete it beautifully!" The boy gave a thumbs up and smiled gaspingly.
"Haha, Nawaki, as expected of my disciple."
Jiraiya strode over and rubbed the boy's head with his wide palm, looking at the other party with full of relief.
Tsunade looked at this pair of teachers and students who were smiling with 24 big white teeth at the same time, and couldn't help but be speechless.
Three days ago, Mito Uzumaki felt that her deadline was approaching. As the only Jinchuriki in Konoha Village, she was worried that after losing her restraint, the tailed beast in her body would completely go berserk. Therefore, she had to announce this helpless fact.
After learning this news, Hiruzen Sarutobi gathered all the high-level officials overnight and held an emergency meeting. Konoha Village needed a new Jinchuriki.
No one knew the seriousness of this matter better than he, the Hokage, because what was sealed in Mito Uzumaki's body was not just a Seven Tails!
In the great war of that year, Konoha and Kumogakure moved almost all their troops, swaying on two battle lines. Both sides tried their best. In order to avoid the ending of dying together, they finally ended the peace talks.
As a condition for releasing Ginkaku to return to the village, Konoha took the detention of Kumogakure's Two Tails for 30 years as a restraint to ensure that the two countries would not commit any crimes during the signing of the treaty.
For the equally violent Two Tails, Konoha could only use means to forcibly suppress it, because they could not find a more suitable Jinchuriki other than the Uzumaki clan. It took a lot of manpower and material resources at that time.
This was originally a clever move to threaten Kumogakure, but it had the opposite effect.
Many Konoha villagers were panicked when they learned that a tailed beast was being held in the village, and they inevitably complained.
The pressure quickly reached the heads of the high-level officials.
In Konoha at that time, the Second Hokage had been assassinated and killed not long ago, and the entire high-level was in a state of headless dragons. Therefore, they had to introduce a scapegoat.
That was Danzō, who advocated detaining the Two Tails.
Danzō quickly came up with a solution, but this solution was not to solve the problem.
He controlled public opinion and vigorously publicized that the death of the Second Hokage was related to Kagami Uchiha, so as to divert the public's attention. At the same time, he instigated Hiruzen Sarutobi to run to the Uzumaki Shrine to sell miserably and complain, making the water even muddier.
In desperation, Mito Uzumaki, as the wife of the Hokage, had to take action again, relying on her superb sealing technique and strong physique, she forcibly sealed the Two Tails into her body again.
That day, she almost exhausted all her Chakra. The moment the seal was completed, she also completely fainted.
In the past, there was only one Seven Tails in her body. Not only could she suppress it obediently, but she could also extract the tailed beast Chakra with sealing techniques, and then control the power of the Seven Tails.
Today is different from the past. Now there is an additional Two Tails. She needs to stabilize the seal and divide the two, so as not to affect each other. This requires her to spend a considerable amount of time repairing the technique. Therefore, she can only concentrate on seclusion and ignore the world.
By the way, Kagami Uchiha's reputation stunk during this period and was forced to death by the high-level officials.
Fortunately, all efforts paid off. Three months later, Mito Uzumaki finally balanced the two tailed beast powers in her body. In order to ensure that they would not go berserk easily, she also personally set up a five-layer Uzumaki barrier centered on the Uzumaki Shrine, and applied a formation to suppress the tailed beast in her body, and from then on, she lived in seclusion and restrained herself.
Her self-sacrifice earned Konoha Village 22 years of peace.
Today's Mito is nearly ancient. Although she is a member of the long-lived Uzumaki clan, sealing two tailed beasts at the same time is also rapidly burning her vitality. Until today, her life is coming to an end.
Long-term ease made the high-level officials ignore the risk of tailed beasts, and it was not until today that the alarm bell rang.
At the meeting, everyone first shirked responsibility to each other. After some bickering, they began to propose and vote. Finally, they unanimously decided:
Go to Uzushiogakure to ask the Uzumaki clan to take action.
As everyone knows, Konoha Village and Uzushiogakure are allies, and the Senju and Uzumaki have been friends for generations. It is said that in this critical moment, they must help each other.
But Hiruzen, the Hokage, felt a little suspicious in his heart.
A few years ago, an ANBU spy sent back a secret intelligence report. Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure seemed to have launched an operation against the Uzumaki clan. Because the security level was too high, even the spy did not know what their purpose was, but only knew that even the Kage had been dispatched.
Those who took action were all major ninja villages with tailed beasts. The experienced Hiruzen vaguely guessed what these people were going to do and couldn't help but feel shocked.
He immediately convened a secret meeting and proposed the idea of protecting the Uzumaki clan, but it was quickly rejected by Danzō and other high-level officials.
After the last ninja world war, Konoha Village had already formed a feud with Kumogakure. If they took action to protect the Uzumaki clan at this moment, they would be openly standing against the other three major ninja villages, making enemies everywhere, which was unwise.
Moreover, since the other party had already dispatched the Kage, it would be even more difficult to intervene. Once a fight broke out, it would easily lead to war.
Konoha at that time could not afford to toss.
The high-level officials argued for a long time. Finally, at Hiruzen's insistence, they still sent a small team to Uzushiogakure in disguise, trying to rescue a few Uzumaki people in the chaos.
But what they didn't expect was that a few days later, news came from across the sea that the Uzumaki clan had been attacked, but the losses were not heavy. On the contrary, the team sent by Hiruzen disappeared.
This incident once confused Hiruzen.
Could it be that the strength of the Uzumaki clan had reached this level?
