Four-Tails Takes the Bait

"Okay, that's fine."

"Now that you have the ability to use Senjutsu, you don't need to worry about the promotion of Senjutsu in Konoha this time. Just focus on your job as Tsuchikage. Leave these things to me."

Ōnoki waved his hand, taking full responsibility for the matter.

Ōnoki did not delve into the unique Kurotsuchi Senjutsu that Kurotsuchi possessed, nor did he intend to share or promote them.

Not everything is suitable for promotion.

Promoting Senjutsu is clearly more beneficial than harmful.

As for other things, such as his Dust Release, even if there were a way to make everyone learn it, it wouldn't be suitable for widespread adoption.

If this is promoted, it will only turn what used to be minor skirmishes into situations where life and death are at stake.

Furthermore, no matter how many people master Dust Release, it won't pose much of a threat to the Ōtsutsuki. However, if the Ōtsutsuki were to master Dust Release, the threat to the Shinobi World would be much greater.

Of course, according to the information provided by Amegakure, the Otsutsuki Clan is a race that completely prioritizes bloodline. All their abilities come from their bloodline, so they are naturally uninterested in "learning".

Not to mention learning Ninjutsu developed by ninjas in the Shinobi World, whom they consider inferior beings.

Even so, there's always a chance of something going wrong.

Therefore, Ōnoki wouldn't suddenly have a sudden burst of saintly compassion, thinking of universal harmony, and reveal all his secret Ninjutsu techniques.

Kurotsuchi was quite pleased that Ōnoki had taken on the troublesome matter.

This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place, and it was troublesome and somewhat disgusting.

It would be best to have the old man supervise the whole process.

And so, the Senjutsu Mode training campaign in Iwagakure (Iwagakure) also began in earnest.

Ōnoki, Akatsuchi, Kitsuchi Yotsuchi began their training in Senjutsu Mode.

The three of them were very serious and engaged.

However, Ōnoki, who was originally considered the most promising, is actually the one with the slowest progress.

The reason is quite simple.

Slow phone startup or inability to power on is completely different from short standby time after startup and frequent battery depletion.

Jiraiya this regard because he can power on normally and quickly, but his standby time is short. He powers on and then shuts down very quickly, thus entering Sage Mode very fast.

But Ōnoki is different.

He was half a turn older than Hiruzen Sarutobi had already died.

Although Ōnoki has a short standby time, it is also slow and difficult to boot up, which means it still takes a lot of time.

Furthermore, Ōnoki has a bad back, and he is prone to twisting his back if he moves too much.

"Ōnoki, you old bastard, get out here!"

Ōnoki was practicing again in his room when suddenly Rōshi shouted from outside.

This scared Ōnoki, who was finally about to boot up, so much so that the boot process failed again.

Before he could reply, Ōnoki quickly straightened his clothes.

As expected, his actions were correct.

After realizing that he didn't reply immediately, Rōshi barged in, leaped to the second floor, jumped in from the balcony, and found Ōnoki.

Ōnoki was glad he reacted in time, otherwise he would definitely have been discovered by Rōshi.

"Ōnoki, you really were secretly training on your own. I misjudged you; I didn't expect you to be so petty!"

Rōshi looked at Ōnoki and then revealed a disappointed expression.

"Huh? Rōshi, what are you talking about?"

Ōnoki looked somewhat confused.

"Still pretending? Were you just practicing Sage Mode?"

Rōshi crossed his arms and looked coldly at Ōnoki.

How did you know?

Ōnoki was stunned.

This matter was clearly known only to him, Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, and Kitsuchi.

He also specifically instructed the group to keep it a secret and not to mention it to anyone else in the village until one of them mastered the Senjutsu.

How did Rōshi find out?

Could it be that those people from Konoha said it?

"Hmph, of course it was the Four-Tails who told me— Ōnoki, don't change the subject. If there's something so good about cultivating Senjutsu, why did you deliberately hide it from me?"

Rōshi snorted coldly and continued to question Ōnoki.

"Four-Tails?"

Ōnoki was baffled; how did the Four-Tails know about this?

However, this is not the time to dwell on these issues. If we don't appease Rōshi soon, their relationship will collapse again.

"Rōshi, calm down and listen to me. Since you know about this from the Four-Tails, you should also know what it takes to cultivate Senjutsu."

If I told you about this and asked you to cultivate with me, what would you think? Would you feel that I was insulting you?

That's why I didn't inform you; I just brought Akatsuchi and Kitsuchi.

"Once we've successfully cultivated, we'll come looking for you again, and then you'll believe us, won't you?"

"I sighed, "Ōnoki said.

"So that's how it is. Your consideration is correct. My reputation, Rōshi, cannot be ruined. Here's what we'll do: give me a copy of the cultivation manual, and I'll leave the village and find a quiet place to cultivate alone, just like before."

With the immense Chakra of the Tailed Beast, the Natural Energy they can control must be terrifying.

Until I truly need to intervene, you must remain silent and not reveal to anyone that I am cultivating Sage Mode, okay?

After thinking for a moment, Rōshi offered a suggestion.

--Actually, Ōnoki was right. It was the people of Konoha who told Rōshi about this. Rōshi's claim that the Four-Tails told him was just a casual excuse, since Ōnoki had no way to verify it with the Four-Tails anyway.

Actually, this is what Naruto told him.

After arriving in Iwagakure, Naruto not only spread the Sage Mode training method in the main quest, but also did not forget his side quests.

That is, to collect the power of the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails.

He Nine Tailed Beasts inside him, only missing the Four-Tails and Five-Tails from Iwagakure.

So Naruto went to visit Rōshi, as a Jinchuriki.

You know what, Naruto's appearance actually helped ease the tension between the Four-Tails and Roshi, who were both Jinchuriki.

After talking with the other Tailed Beast inside Naruto, the Four-Tails learned that Naruto was actually the reincarnation of Asura, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, and the one who was prophesied to bring happiness to the Tailed Beast. The Four-Tails naturally agreed and voluntarily gave up a part of its body.

Even Rōshi seemed much more pleasing to the eye now.

However, what the Four-Tails didn't know was that because it was absent from the "First Tailed Beast Discussion Conference," it and the Five-Tails had already been ruthlessly designated as sacrifices by the other Tailed Beast.

The other Tailed Beast didn't mention the Great Toad Sage's prophecy to the Four-Tails at all; they even went so far as to embellish the original prophecy of "the Blue-Eyed Boy calling out the names of nine wild beasts."

They claimed to bring happiness to the Tailed Beast in order to lure the Four-Tails into their trap.

After confirming that the Four-Tails Beast had taken the bait, the other Tailed Beast sensed it and immediately felt much better.

On the other side, Yugito, who had made a dinner appointment with Shirozumi, also sensed the Two-Tails's joy and smiled.

Don't blame your brothers and sisters for being inhuman. Four-Tails, you're Monkey, and Monkey are the most human-like, so you're the most suitable match for Naruto.
