Nine-Tails Chakra Mode
The fact that he could break through the Kage's limit by using only half of the Nine-Tails in battle is an incredibly powerful Cheat/System. Not to mention the bug-level potential characteristic of distributing a large amount of chakra to different ninjas, thus multiplying the combat power of a large number of people.
Upon hearing Shuichi's question about the Nine-Tails, the Third Hokage remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, though his expression didn't change.
After the war with Kumogakure ended, he learned more comprehensive details of the battle from Shisui, Hizashi, Shikaku, and others, and had a better understanding of Shuichi's current strength.
Having achieved an overwhelming victory against the Fourth Raikage, effortlessly blocked the Tailed Beast Ball with Earth Release, and then switched sides to support and instantly kill the fully-formed Two-Tails, Shuichi is now the strongest ninja in Konoha and the pillar of the Land of Fire.
As long as he is still alive, it will be difficult for other countries to harbor any thoughts of war. Even if all Sannin returned to the village, they would not be able to shake his position.
Purple Aurora is already a top-tier ninja who surpasses them. At such a young age, he is constantly approaching the level of the First Hokage, and his reputation and prestige within the village need no further explanation.
After thinking it over, Sarutobi Hiruzen a soft sigh and said, "Actually, many years ago, when Lady Mito was still alive, the village secretly tried to control the Nine-Tails, and even studied its Nine-Tails Chakra. It's just that controlling this powerful force is too difficult..."
The Third Hokage explained many unknown things to Shuichi, even though Shuichi, who was well-versed in the original work, had already guessed most of them.
Uzumaki Mito was able to sense both kindness and malice, and later told Kushina that Jinchuriki needed love to fill the void in their hearts, which shows that she had reached a very high level in the use of the Nine-Tails Chakra.
The content is largely the same as in the original work. Her ability to Sense Evil indicates that she forcibly extracted the Nine-Tails' chakra and converted it into her own power.
According to Shuichi, this is the first stage of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Golden Body Mode with a very short duration. Once the amount that has been used up is exhausted, it can only be stopped.
Unfortunately, Uzumaki Mito was already quite old when she became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. By the time she figured it out, she was already an old woman around 60 years old. In addition, given her noble status as the First Hokage's Wife, it was impossible for her to go to the battlefield to fight. Even extracting the Nine-Tails Chakra again was fraught with great risks, so Konoha had no choice but to give up the attempt.
However, she also left behind a lot of valuable experience. The Nine-Tails is the most unique of all the Tailed Beasts. It is several times more difficult to control than the other Tailed Beasts. The key lies in its chakra characteristics, which are filled with endless hatred.
Other Tailed Beasts invade the mind of the Jinchuriki when they experience negative emotions, and will go berserk once they can no longer suppress the darkness in their hearts.
The way to counter this is through willpower; mental qualities like resilience and courage are quite effective, and overall, the difficulty is not too great.
However, this kind of spiritual strength is not enough to resist hatred. When Uzumaki Mito was drawing it out, she felt that emotion constantly impacting her heart. It was not something that could be resisted by sheer willpower alone.
"The opposite of hatred is love, and only this opposite can counteract it. That's why Mito concluded that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki needs to be filled with love!" Shuichi thought to himself, feeling a bit scared at that moment.
According to the information from the Third Hokage, a perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must meet three conditions: possess a powerful life force to withstand endless chakra, have a strong will to resist inner darkness, and have intense love and hatred to fight against each other.
If he were to become Jinchuriki Nine-Tails' Rampage, he was confident he could meet the first two conditions. However, possessing strong feelings of love was too absurd for a transmigrator. Was he supposed to hypnotize himself into loving others? Only Saintly Mother type could probably accomplish this arduous task.
If the Nine-Tails were to possess him Shuichi would have no way out. At most, he could use the first stage of his Golden Body Mode, forcefully pull back his chakra, and then store it away.
To extract the Nine-Tails, one must ascend to the level of the Sage of Six Paths and possess the ultimate Yin-Yang Release to survive.
So it wasn't that the Third Hokage didn't want to cultivate a Perfect Jinchuriki, but rather that it was simply impossible; it would conflict with everything in the Ninja World.
Being a ninja is a profession filled with killing, betrayal, and darkness. When he learned that fighting the Nine-Tails required these three stringent conditions, he was completely stumped. There was no one in the entire Konoha Village who could meet the requirements.
Which master isn't a ruthless killer? Who can maintain deep affection while killing? What is that if not a psychopath...?
As for Kushina Uzumaki, he, as the Hokage, had done the best possible thing, trying to keep her confined to the village and prevent her from being corrupted by the life of a ninja.
It was only natural to let things take their course when they discovered that she and Minato had fallen in love, because forcing them to be together might actually unleash the Nine-Tails. Fortunately, Minato was a rare good man; if Kushina had fallen for a scheming, manipulative scoundrel, Konoha would have been in serious trouble.
"Naruto is over three years old now, what are you planning to do?" Shuichi scratched his head after hearing this; this was really difficult. "Should we let him continue on the Jonin? Or should we tell him his true identity?"
"He's Minato's son, and I think Minato wanted him to become a ninja." The Third Hokage was also extremely troubled. Once he embarked on the normal path of a ninja, could he still become the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
Fortunately, Naruto is still many years away from growing up, so we can only take it one step at a time. "I hope he can make many friends at the Ninja Academy. We'll see what happens in the future. You should also keep an eye on him!"
As the Captain Commander the third squad of the Security Department, who is responsible for dealing with Tailed Beasts and high-level ninja intrusions, he has an additional task: to keep an eye on Naruto while patrolling the village, as the child will soon be running around everywhere.
"Okay..." Shuichi replied as he left.
The Third Hokage's revelation of these things today is of great significance. He knows that his identity has undergone some potential changes, namely, he is a candidate for the Fifth Hokage, and he was even handpicked by the previous Hokage, meaning there are no competitors.
The information regarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is top secret. Shuichi has reason to believe that it is only passed down orally among the Hokage. For example, Danzo wouldn't know this, otherwise he wouldn't have been foolish enough to let his Root subordinates try to control the Nine-Tails Chakra.
The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode also has a precedent with Mito, and many detailed characteristics were secretly revealed by the Third Hokage. Shuichi believes that Minato must have known more, perhaps sensing the abnormality in Naruto, so he sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tails into him.
As for Shuichi's feelings about becoming a candidate for the Fifth Hokage, the answer is, of course, nothing at all.
The Shinobi World has now experienced three major wars, and the various countries have found that the current situation is difficult to overturn through war. After years of fighting, only a large number of ninjas have died, but the benefits have not increased much.
Since we can't open up new sources of revenue, we can only try to cut costs by gradually reducing war expenditures and making ninja training more elite.
Becoming Hokage in this era would be incredibly boring, spending every day managing all sorts of trivial matters in the village, and occasionally having friendly exchanges with the kids at the Ninja Academy. So Shuichi suggested that the Third Hokage should continue to contribute for a few more years...
