Wind Release Progress

Yichen casually told the Advisor Group that Han had become Perfect Jinchuriki, surpassing even Ikura, a Kage Level powerhouse. This left everyone completely bewildered. The fact that Yichen, the Tsuchikage, had also suddenly become Perfect Jinchuriki left them even more unsure how to react.

Ming pointed to the Outer Path Statue Fragment and asked, "Yichen, is this what you got from Obito Uchiha last time? This Tailed Beast, Little Rhino Dog, right? It... it lives inside?"

The Little Rhino Dog nodded and said, "Yes, I live inside."

Yichen nodded in agreement, indicating that Ming was right.

Sakaya realized what was happening and said, "Yichen, you didn't seal the Tailed Beast... Little Rhino Dog into your body, right? You can only use Little Rhino Dog's power, right?"

Yichen nodded and said, "You're right, that's exactly the situation."

Saka and others breathed a sigh of relief. There was no problem then. It wasn't a big deal that Yichen could use the Tailed Beast Chakra, but becoming Jinchuriki was a different story.

Regardless of whether they are Perfect Jinchuriki or not, Jinchuriki is Jinchuriki, and the village would never truly treat Jinchuriki as an ordinary ninja.

If Yichen had directly become Jinchuriki, then Saka and the others would definitely have had to carefully analyze the pros and cons of this matter and prepare various contingency plans. But now there's no need for that. Mastering the power of Tailed Beast is like learning Senjutsu; there's nothing unacceptable about it.

Yichen said, "I plan to give both the Little Rhino Dog and Kokuō a Forehead Protector. From today onwards, they are official members of the village."

"Kokuō will accompany Han on missions, and I will also take Little Rhino Dog on missions. In the future, they will also earn Contribution Points and silver by completing missions."

"Of course, they also use silver and Contribution Points for their daily expenses in the village."

Ikura and the others exchanged bewildered glances, each thinking the same thing: You really know how to play the game.

They certainly knew that this was a good way to speed up the integration of the two Tailed Beast into the village.

"I agree to issue Forehead Protector to Little Rhino Dog and Kokuō," said Tomoko first.

Then the others all agreed.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Yichen took out two blank Ninja ID and two Forehead Protector from his desk.

Yichen placed one of the Forehead Protector on the Little Rhino Dog's forehead, and then wrote its name (Little Rhino Dog), ninja number, and information on the Little Rhino Dog's Ninja ID.

After finishing writing, Yichen handed the Ninja ID to the Little Rhino Dog and said, "Little Rhino Dog, from now on, you are officially a member of our Iwagakure. This is your identification document, keep it safe."

"Hmm." Although the Little Rhino Dog didn't know what this thing was for, it still nodded obediently.

Then it took the Ninja ID and crawled into the Outer Path Statue Fragment, carefully storing it away.

Yichen wrote another copy of Kokuō's Ninja ID, intending to present it to Kokuō later.

"Alright, Little Rhino Dog, do you want to go out and play? I'll have Tomoko take you," Yichen said, pointing at Tomoko to the Little Rhino Dog.

The Little Rhino Dog looked at Tomoko, who had just petted its head, and then nodded.

Seeing Tomoko lead the Little Rhino Dog away, the complex emotions in everyone's hearts still hadn't immediately calmed down.

Is this really Tailed Beast? It looks more like a Ninja Beast, or rather, a pet. Aren't Tailed Beast supposed to be evil and bloodthirsty? Why is it so cute and silly?

Ikura asked, "Yichen, what's going on with the Little Rhino Dog? Is it Six-Tails?"

"I suppose so, but it's not the complete Six-Tails. I killed the complete Six-Tails, and it would take at least three years to revive it. This is just a part of the Six-Tails," Yichen explained.

"I obtained some Six-Tails Chakra before, which was originally stored in the gourd at my waist. I forgot to tell you about it last time. I just used this stuff that I got from Obito Uchiha to create the Little Rhino Dog now."

"You don't need to worry about Kirigakure causing us trouble. Our alliance with Kirigakure will not break in the next two years. You don't need to worry about Mist ninja turning against us because of this."

"Once the Six-Tails revives in a few years, no one will bother us. In fact, as long as we don't say anything, no one will know it's the Six-Tails."

"It's not like there aren't Katsuyu in the Ninja Beast Ninja World. Tsunade's Summoning Beast is Katsuyu, isn't it? Normally, who would think of it as Tailed Beast?"

Kitsuchi said, "Should we change the Little Rhino Dog's name? Isn't it inappropriate to just use the Saiken's name?"

Yichen said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, there are very few people in the entire Ninja World who know that the Tailed Beast have names. We just happen to have a Jinchuriki who can communicate with the Tailed Beast, so we know that the Five-Tails is called Kokuō. Normally, who would know that?"

"I doubt anyone in Kirigakure even knows that Tailed Beast have names, let alone associate them with the name 'Little Rhino Dog'."

Everyone thought it made sense. They had always referred to the Tailed Beast by the number of their tails, never thinking that they had names. So, let's leave it at that for now.

Seeing that everyone had fully accepted the Little Rhino Dog, Yichen continued, "Han's three disciples are already Jonin, so it would be a waste to have them team up again. In peacetime, there aren't that many high-difficulty missions that require all four of them to carry out together."

"I've discussed it with Toda Yui and the others, and we're planning to disband the Han Squad. After disbanding, Toda Yui and the others intend to become teachers and take on disciples. What do you think?"

After meditating for a moment, he said, "Okay, if Perfect Jinchuriki really has the effect you described before, and we no longer need to worry about the Tailed Beast going berserk, then it doesn't matter."

"However, whether it's Han or Kokuō, the ties with the village cannot be broken. Let Han take in three more disciples. Also, is it possible to directly let Kokuō take in disciples?"

Saka was stunned and said, "Tailed Beast taking ninjas as disciples? Is that even possible?"

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "I can go and ask, but we won't force you. Let's see what Kokuō thinks."

No one objected; it was just a suggestion, and whether it came to fruition or not was irrelevant.

Kitsuchi interjected, "Yichen, speaking of taking on disciples, Sokai Uchiha is also a graduate of this year. Who would be a good teacher for him?"

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "His Sharingan cannot be revealed yet. I heard he's Dead Last?"

Kitsuchi was somewhat embarrassed and said, "This child has been training very hard, but his talent is really too poor. His practical combat ability is at the bottom of the Advanced Class. As for his theoretical grades, he would probably be at the bottom even in Regular Class."

Yichen smiled and said, "This is a good thing. You don't understand the Uchiha. This actually shows that he has exceptional talent. Never mind, I'll take over Sokai Uchiha's training."

The group looked at each other, puzzled as to what was so good about it.

Yichen didn't explain; the Uchiha clan's situation was impossible to explain clearly. Their growth in strength simply didn't make sense.

Yichen changed the subject, saying, "Yuki Haku Neji Hyuga are also staying at your house. How are they doing?"

Speaking of these two, Kitsuchi became very excited and immediately replied, "These two are true geniuses; they have extremely high talent in both theoretical knowledge and Taijutsu skills."

"Especially Neji Hyuga. Although he's still young, the potential he's shown far exceeds my expectations. Yichen, we need to pay more attention to the Caged Bird Seal. We can't let such a genius go to waste."

Yichen nodded. He didn't really have a good solution to this problem, as he wasn't skilled in the soul realm. He couldn't possibly keep track of Orochimaru's research progress.

"I heard that Kurotsuchi Soil also has good talent?" Ming suddenly said.

Kitsuchi Tu grinned and said, "Yes, Kurotsuchi's talent is no less than Haku's, and not much worse than Neji's."

Saka exclaimed, "It's unbelievable. For decades, the village hasn't produced a single talented ninja. The village has been struggling to survive on the sole support of the Third Hokage. I never imagined that the village would now have so many geniuses that I sometimes forget about one or two."

Mei also recalled those most difficult years, when they could only look at Konoha with envy, and then maintain a peace for decades under Konoha's dominance.

She remarked with emotion, "Once the third generation returns, we can probably retire in peace. With so many outstanding descendants in the village, we have nothing to worry about."

Yichen laughed and said, "Luckily I was born early. If I had been born in the same era as these guys, I probably wouldn't have received any attention from you."

Ming immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you grow up with these geniuses, we won't neglect you. You're too mischievous, always restless since you were little, it's impossible for the higher-ups not to pay attention to you."

Hahaha. A burst of laughter erupted from everyone in the office.

After the meeting, Yichen's excitement didn't last long. The mention of Yichen Neji Hyuga and Kurotsuchi made him suddenly realize that the main plot was about to begin. He didn't have much time left.

The practice of Wind Release needs to be accelerated.

After half a year of practice, Yichen's Wind Release has improved significantly. The Senjutsu theory proposed by Matsutani Shinya was indeed feasible. With the help of Senjutsu, Yichen's Wind Release proficiency improved much faster than normal.

However, this rate of progress is far slower than his previous Lightning Release techniques, indicating that Yichen's talent for Wind Release is indeed lacking. Currently, Yichen's proficiency in Wind Release is barely at the minimum threshold for developing a bloodline limit.

However, based on Yichen's experience in developing three bloodline limits, he knew that this was far from enough.

"Seven-Tails, Seven-Tails, we can't delay any longer. We must obtain the Seven-Tails as soon as possible," Yichen muttered to himself.

A few days later, the Tsuchikage and the Iwagakure suddenly sent envoys to the Land of the Falls, proposing an alliance with the Land of the Falls Takigakure.

The treaty proposed by the Iwa ninja is similar to the alliance between Iwagakure and Kirigakure; it's an alliance of mutual support and cooperation.

The Takigakure and the Land of the Falls Daimyo showed contrasting attitudes when they received the alliance pact from the Iwagakure.

The Land of the Falls Daimyo strongly supported the alliance, believing that with this alliance, the funds he allocated to Takigakure could be appropriately reduced.

This would save on the costs of deploying defenses along the border between Takigakure and Takigakure, while Iwagakure would be protected by Land of the Falls. Why not? Moreover, with Iwagakure's protection, Takigakure might be even safer than with Takigakure's.

However, Takigakure had a different idea. Previously, the Seven-Tails of Takigakure had been captured and then inexplicably appeared in Konoha.

The Takigakure suspects that the Yichen Iwa ninja) was behind this. To be precise, they suspect that it was the Tsuchikage, Ekichū. The Takigakure is very dissatisfied with Yichen's actions of using them to attack Konoha and dragging them into the mess.

Because of Yichen, their Seven-Tails is still in Konoha's hands!
