It was late at night.

Uzuki Yugao fell into a deep sleep. Naruto glanced at her helplessly, then got up and took a shower. This woman is both incompetent and loves to play games; she's such a hassle.

If it weren't for the fact that she had avenged her great enemy, he wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

Standing under the showerhead, Naruto felt a bit irritated. Lately, he was almost numb to these things. His desires were dwindling; it was like he was always getting aroused but never letting it go.

Too bad, just too bad.

He glanced down at his firm abs, then at the well-proportioned muscles all over his body, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: training to the extreme is invincible.

But being invincible is too lonely. If things continue like this, I might really lose interest in those things in the future.

Pushing these chaotic thoughts aside, Naruto went over his ideas again. The Sand was no longer reliable; with Baki dead, most of the Sand's higher-ups were likely just rebellious fools.

Fortunately, Naruto didn't have any expectations of those higher-ups, so he could now make up his mind to take the Tailed Beast from Gaara's body. He didn't need to worry about the specifics; his subordinates would handle it.

What he needs to do now is to take overall control, deceive Konohagakure on one hand, deal with Kabuto on the other, and secure his rear to leave himself a way out after he succeeds.

We can't just kill Kabuto, destroy the Otsutsuki, and then work for the Land of Fire after the Fourth Shinobi World War, can we? We can't possibly stay in the Land of Fire or any other country!

In the rear, Amegakure and the Land of Snow are two thorns in the Shinobi World, one near and one far. Amegakure position, a strategic location fought over by all sides. The Land of Snow is remote, with snow-capped mountains providing a natural barrier against enemies.

They can stir up trouble in the Land of Rain, or retreat to enjoy peace and tranquility across thousands of snow-capped mountains.

If you have the chance to be a human being, why go back to Konohagakure and grovel like a dog? If you have any ideas of your own, you'll constantly face moral judgment, with this bond and that bond being your burden.

He could simply leave without any trouble. As for Ino and Hinata, Naruto didn't believe they could abandon their children. Konohagakure should continue to uphold the Will of Fire; he was going to slip away first.

The next day.

In the Hokage Building, Kakashi looked at the four bulky monitors in front of him with a helpless expression, while the ninjas from the Intelligence Department were busy running around, sweating profusely.

Ino is the person in the Intelligence Department who knows these machines best, but she is currently pregnant and no longer participates in the Intelligence Department's work.

The Intelligence Department personnel at the moment aren't incompetent, they're just a bit nervous. Perhaps they're all worried about something as important as the Five Kage Summit going wrong in their hands, making them even more apprehensive.

In reality, Kakashi didn't think these video conferences were that important. He figured the other four Kage would understand if he was late, given Konohagakure's outdated technology.

The machine wasn't fully set up yet. Kakashi sat at the table, yawning, thinking about the news he'd just received from the Anbu. A new army of Impure World Reincarnation soldiers had recently appeared, gathering with tens of thousands of White Zetsu on the plains.

This is a real war about to begin, and the Five Great Nations will naturally have to respond.

Kakashi was both somewhat helpless and had no choice but to take this seriously. The fate of the village was at stake, and he couldn't afford to be careless; the final decision was naturally to send troops.

War is a protracted and arduous struggle, a war of attrition, against a relentless and monstrous enemy. The enemy doesn't even need resupply or rest.

The Allied Shinobi Forces needed to transport supplies, and supplies were the most important thing. Wars are ultimately about the will of the people; whichever side has a stronger will has a greater chance of winning.

That's the general rule, but what if the other side isn't human at all, or is a monster that can't think? They only obey commands and show no fear or retreat.

So, how should we deal with this?

"Lord Hokage! It's connected!" the new recruit from the Intelligence Department said, sweating profusely, quite delighted.

The static on the monitor had stopped, and on the other four monitors, the Kazekage, Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage sat at their respective desks with serious expressions.

"Hokage, you're late." Tsuchikage Ōnoki sneered, showing no mercy.

"Sorry, sorry, there was a technical malfunction." Kakashi was already adept at apologizing for being late, as if it had become second nature for him.

"Alright, the most urgent thing now is to come up with a solution." Kazekage Ōnoki interrupted, seeing that Tsuchikage Gaara was about to cause trouble again.

That old geezer always thrives on chaos, his words are always laced with Yakumi, and he's quick to criticize anyone he meets. He's like a rock in a latrine—stinky and unyielding.

It's a well-known fact that Iwagakure is facing a generational gap, and that's no secret. Yet this old man still Tenten cocky. I really don't know what he's thinking; does he want to leave a deep-seated hatred for his descendants?

The other four Kage ignored Ōnoki, knowing his wicked nature and not wanting to play mind games with this old madman.

"Now that the Hokage is here, let me briefly reiterate the results of our brief discussion. The Five Great Nations must jointly form Allied Shinobi Forces to fight against the enemy."

Mei Terumi was fairly calm and composed. She briefly explained the situation and offered her own opinion.

"The enemy's target is the Five Great Nations. Judging from their direction of advance, in seven days, the enemy will reach the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning."

"Therefore, I suggest that the best location for the Five Great Nations to assemble their allied forces is the wasteland north of the Land of Wind, and that they complete their assembly in three days. They should arrive at the battlefield and set up camp five days later."

Subsequently, the Raikage and Kakashi each expressed their opinions, mainly to agree on their respective rights. This would facilitate coordination and make post-war division easier.

It was unclear how many times the Five Kage Summit had been held on this ordinary afternoon. The Five Kage talked in detail until late at night before finalizing the general details.

In the very end, Mizukage Mei Terumi seemed to add, "Konohagakure doesn't have any Tailed Beast anymore, does it?"

"Yes." Kakashi didn't hide anything and thought for a moment before saying, "It's inhumane for us to no longer use ninjas as vessels to contain Tailed Beast."

Apart from Mei Terumi, the other three Kage's expressions immediately changed, thinking to themselves that the Hokage truly lived up to his title. His words perfectly exemplified the art of language, turning the tables and pointing fingers at the three Kage; the tailed beast jinchūriki were inhumane.

Gaara, on the other hand, was quite calm, showing little emotion; after all, he was a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast. Besides, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind were only nominal allies, so with these two layers of support, he simply pretended not to hear what Kakashi said.

The Raikage frowned, thinking to himself that Kakashi was really being dishonest. Konohagakure couldn't control the Tailed Beast themselves, and yet they came up with such a shameless excuse.

When has Konohagakure ever restricted the rights of Jinchuriki? Haven't they always held them firmly in their hands and used them as tools? At least Kumogakure wouldn't do that; Jinchuriki still have dignity.

"So Konohagakure has no Tailed Beast left?" the Raikage asked with a sneer.

"That's not quite right. Konohagakure has changed its approach to dealing with the Tailed Beast," Kakashi said slowly. "The Nine-Tails has reconciled with Konohagakure and is staying Konohagakure to receive offerings."

"In the upcoming war, if necessary, the Nine-Tails will also join the battle."

Raikage: "."

Mizukage: "."

"How could such a thing be possible!" Tsuchikage Ōnoki said with a hint of sarcasm, "Tailed Beast and humans can hardly communicate; only Jinchuriki can communicate with them."

"Lord Tsuchikage, that's too absolute. After all, times have changed," Kakashi said with a smile. "Tailed Beast are indeed difficult to tame, but that doesn't mean we won't hire them."

Kakashi's words were undeniably pretentious, and coupled with his nonchalant tone, they gave off a feeling that he had secretly become awesome.

The four figures were shocked and fell into deep thought.

Since the appearance of the Tailed Beast, the consensus among nations has been to tame Tailed Beast through the Jinchuriki. However, the reality is that the Tailed Beast are immortal, while human lifespans are too short.

Even if a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast lives a life free from illness and disaster, their lifespan is only a few decades. From getting close to the Tailed Beast to becoming familiar with it and then to becoming intimate with it, most of their lifespan has already passed.

When the next Jinchuriki takes over, the Tailed Beast often become extremely violent. This seems to create a vicious cycle between the Tailed Beast and their Jinchuriki.

When they heard Kakashi say that Nine-Tails) accepted offerings from Konohagakure and even accepted being hired, their brains nearly shrunk. It was utterly unbelievable, and a path they had never even considered.

~~

"Kurama, you're really shameless!" Naruto lightly kicked the fat fox as they walked towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

"What's wrong?" Nine-Tails puffed out its chubby belly, looking disdainful. "This is what Konohagakure owes me. They've kept me locked up for so many years, can't I even enjoy myself a little?"

"You owe me? You can fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself." Naruto's words were sharp. "You're just after Konohagakure offering you fine wine, aren't you?"

"I've never seen such a spineless Tailed Beast before, really."

"Heh, isn't there an old saying? Anyway, I'll do whatever I want." Nine-Tails said disdainfully, "Why do you care so much about me?"

"I don't care about you. It's good that the village is taking over. Your good days are numbered," Naruto muttered.

"What?"

"I said you've eaten so much you look like a pig."

"Get lost! You damned human brat!" Nine-Tails swayed back and forth. "Don't force me to take action. One slap and I can slap your head off!"

Naruto couldn't be bothered with this bastard's self-congratulatory antics. He'd just wiped out White Zetsu on the battlefield, and this dog had somehow gotten overconfident. This little fox was a complete pushover, utterly clueless about its own strength.

However, he couldn't be bothered to care. The village was just keeping the Nine-Tails as a sacred object, and it wouldn't do him any harm anyway.

However, things will remain the same afterward. When it comes time to gather Nine Tailed Beasts to break the seal, the Nine-Tails will still need to contribute its power.

At most, they'll suffer a bit, since the Tailed Beast are immortal.

Nine-Tails, unaware that it had been completely dealt with, was still fantasizing about its wonderful future when Naruto suddenly kicked it again.

"I'm going to see Ino, what are you doing following me?"

"It's not like I wanted to come; your human owner made me go!" Nine-Tails said matter-of-factly.

"If you don't need your brain, you can dig it out and throw it away. All you've remembered in all these years is the title of human owner. What else do you remember?"

"I still remember how many pairs you were wearing."

"You want to die, Kurama?!" Naruto drew his sword and held it to Nine-Tails's neck, his face chilling. "I know a Tailed Beast who got gang-raped by several male dogs for talking nonsense."

Glug!

Nine-Tails swallowed hard, feeling both terrified and angry. This person was worse than a dog.

"I definitely won't talk nonsense. The main thing is, I only went there to have some fine wine." Nine-Tails finally gave in, saying with an embarrassed smile.

"You'd better be." Naruto sheathed his sword, his face beaming with a warm smile.

"You deserve to die, Naruto Uzumaki," it thought to itself.

Time passed slowly as they spent time together. Ino insisted on playing games with Naruto, Nine-Tails glanced at the childish game the two humans were playing and couldn't help but look at them sideways.

What's the point of pressing buttons and having little figures flying around on the screen? I can do that too!

It wasn't until late at night that Ino reluctantly let Naruto and Nine-Tails go back.

The night wind howled, Naruto glanced at Nine-Tails, drunk and resembling a dog, looked rather pathetic.

Where to?

"Let's go home," Naruto said irritably.

The next day.

The Konohagakure troop transporting supplies has already set off. These supplies are provided by the Capital City of the Land of Fire, and the Konoha Ninja will depart from the village at noon to assemble on the battlefield.

While the village was bustling with activity, Naruto slept soundly until he naturally woke up.

He couldn't show favoritism to Ino, so after washing up, he went to the Land of Snow. Stealing a moment from his busy schedule, he even managed to chat with Kazahana Koyuki.

As usual, when asked, the child said she didn't have time. Kazahana Koyuki was truly aggrieved, and Naruto finally sighed and told her the truth.

"Recently, I don't know what's wrong, but my body seems to be improving on its own." He scratched his head and said helplessly, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that you're too weak."

"If you want to have a child, you have to do that, right? I don't think you can do it, your body isn't up to it."

Upon hearing this, Kazahana Koyuki's stubbornness flared up. She thought to herself, "I've lived for over thirty years! Spring has finally arrived, and you say I'm no good? I won't let you get away with this!"

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Kazahana Koyuki huddled in the corner, clutching her blanket, staring at Naruto with a look of terror on her face.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

"I told you you can't do it, but you insisted." Naruto rolled his eyes, looking bored. "It's only been a few minutes, not even twenty minutes."

"You're a devil!" Kazahana Koyuki hugged her blanket tightly. "How could you..."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm young, and my body has become strong." Naruto sighed. "I didn't want this to happen. Being invincible is so lonely."

"Then what should I do?" Kazahana Koyuki bit her fingernails, looking conflicted. "I want a child."

"Shall we do it again?"

"No, no, no!!!" Kazahana Koyuki backed away, desperately waving her hands in refusal. "Wait, I can't right now, really, I'll die!"

Naruto pouted, "That's settled then, we'll talk about it later."

Kazahana Koyuki bit her lower lip, looking utterly helpless. She had known before that this man was physically fit, but never this much.

This guy, when he gets serious, it's absolutely deadly.

I'm recommending this book to my friend. It's a harem Hokage, and you might be interested in checking it out.
