Because she has rich experience in fighting and getting along with tailed beasts, Yayoi knows one thing very well, that is, capturing a tailed beast, or a seven-headed tailed beast, is not as simple as simply catching it.

If it were another big country Ninja Village, let alone not being able to capture so many Tailed Beastss, even if they finally succeeded, one mistake would probably cause the seven Tailed Beastss to go on a mass rampage and send their village to the sky.

For top ninjas, the most difficult thing about Tailed Beasts is never the capture, but how to manage it after capture.

In the final analysis, the management cost and risk cost of Tailed Beasts are too high. Even if the Ninja Village has become more resistant to risks, it still needs to carefully consider how to deal with Tailed Beasts.

And Konoha does not need to worry about so many problems. The most direct way to solve the seven-headed Tailed Beasts is to suppress them with absolute power. Coincidentally, Konoha is the only ninja village among Ninja World today that has such absolute power.

But...

"By distributing Tailed Beasts to balance the military power of various countries and maintain order, this is not your style, Tobirama. This is the handiwork of Your Excellency Hashirama."

Yayoi thought for a while and realized that Tobirama was just a messenger, and the person who really led this matter was God of Shinobi.

Although he knew that Konoha was involved in many major events and that Tobirama was involved in them and led many policies, the person who ultimately made the final decision to implement them was still Hashirama himself.

Tobirama knows that this cannot be hidden from smart people like Yayoi.

Anyone who is familiar with his style of doing things knows that allocating Tailed Beasts to various countries does not match his style.

"Maybe he was stimulated by Madara's death. Big brother wants to promote the establishment of Ninja World order in his own way."

Tobirama frowned and sighed.

"That's it... To be honest, this isn't bad, but it's not a very smart approach either."

Yayoi thought of the Tailed Beasts held by Five Great Nations Ninja Village in the original drama, and finally understood how those Tailed Beasts were controlled by Five Great Nations Ninja Village.

At first, he thought that these Tailed Beasts were slowly captured by the ninja villages of these big countries. Unexpectedly, they were distributed uniformly through the talks held by Konoha.

"It will take time to prove whether the specific consequences are good or bad."

Tobirama nodded. Although he felt that Hashirama's approach was a bit inappropriate, it was not impossible after thinking about it carefully.

After all, if Konoha is not caught, the ninja villages of other big countries will realize the importance of Tailed Beasts sooner or later, which may lead to unnecessary conflicts among various countries because of Tailed Beasts's power.

As far as he knows, Land of Lightning Kumogakure is secretly plotting the power of Tailed Beasts.

When this example occurs, it is only a matter of time before the Ninja Village of the Great Country pays attention to and arrests Tailed Beasts.

Before that, Konoha took the first step to control Tailed Beasts and distribute it uniformly, which not only demonstrated the power of Konoha to other countries, but also confirmed Konoha's transcendent status ahead of the times.

At the same time, it also avoids conflicts among various countries, which is in line with Hashirama's desire to maintain Ninja World order. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes with one stone.

As for detaining all the seven heads Tailed Beasts, Konoha has it exclusively.

Even Konoha can't do this kind of thing, unless Hashirama does nothing all day long and just stares at these Tailed Beasts.

It is also troublesome to make Jinchūriki. One or two are fine, but so many Tailed Beasts are all made into Jinchūriki. Tobirama makes my scalp numb just thinking about it. I am afraid that Konoha will suddenly disappear when I wake up one day.

Therefore, Hashirama's plan to allocate Tailed Beasts has both ideal sustenance and practical considerations.

"There are too many beautiful visions in the world, but it is these beautiful visions that will drag people into hell. Just take it as my own words. It is best not to have too high expectations for peace or anything like that."

Yayoi has a very pessimistic attitude towards the allocation of Tailed Beasts.

Allocating Tailed Beasts will bring huge benefits to the rapid development of Konoha. From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with this plan.

But it would be too naive to place the vision of order on the balance of Tailed Beasts's power.

"I thought Oda you would give me a little flattery and get the right to distribute Tailed Beasts from me first."

Tobirama smiled, but he did not expect that Yayoi would still act so honestly, directly denying his elder brother Hashirama's idea of maintaining order.

Generally speaking, in this situation, one should go with the flow and use the favors accumulated in the past to get the allocation rights of Tailed Beasts first to strengthen the country's military strength.

"I disappoint you. I have no interest in flattering others, not even Mr. Hashirama."

"So, should I give you one Tailed Beasts first? I remember that you already have Seven-Tails in your hands. If you have two Tailed Beastss, you might be able to give Land of Night more say in the world."

Tobirama hopes that Yayoi can receive one Tailed Beasts for free.

Hashirama sent him here not only hoping to use Land of Night's platform to host talks. On the other hand, he also wanted to give Land of Night a Tailed Beasts and repay all the favors Konoha had owed before.

"No, I am not interested in obtaining the second Tailed Beasts. That would be too high-profile and would also make other big countries fear the power of Land of Night, which is not conducive to development."

Yayoi shook his head and rejected Tobirama's proposal.

"So, what do you want from Konoha?"

Although Tobirama was a little surprised, he still looked calm and asked Yayoi what he needed.

Yayoi was also rude, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, looking directly into Tobirama's eyes, and said what he had always wanted:

"Tailed Beasts just give it to other countries. I want to trade Yin-Yang Release with you Konoha."

Compared to Tailed Beasts, Yin-Yang Release is what I have always wanted.

Tobirama was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Yayoi to make such a request.

The technique of Yin-Yang Release naturally has a corresponding inheritance in the Senju Clan. Except for the Uchiha Clan, I believe that no ninja clan can collect Yin-Yang Release more completely than Senju Clan.

It is an ancient Secret Technique that derives all things from nothingness. It is said that it also touches the root of the energy of 'Chakra'.

There are very few ninjas who can understand and master this technique.

Then he glanced at Irori behind Yayoi intentionally or unintentionally, and realized something, so he took a deep look at Yayoi.

"I see, I understand your purpose for wanting Yin-Yang Release. No wonder you look down on Tailed Beasts. You have a more stable and powerful power than Tailed Beasts... Sure enough, you can not only understand Yin-Yang Release, but also master the secret of Yin-Yang Release's creation of life."

On the day after communicating with Yayoi, Tobirama had no intention of staying and returned directly to Konoha.

Two days later, Konoha simultaneously sent letters to the leaders of ninja villages in other large and small countries, inviting them to participate in talks.

The meeting time was determined one week later, and the location was selected at Land of Night.

Therefore, Ninja World, who was originally calm, once again became turbulent because of Konoha's actions.

Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.

The magnificent building falls among the mountains, looming in the misty white mist.

At this time, Raikage Building, which was built on a huge mountain wall, was launching an internal High-Level Meeting.

"That's unreasonable! It's obvious that we chose Tailed Beasts first! What qualifications does Konoha have to allocate Tailed Beasts!"

Smashing the solid wood conference table in front of him with his fist, a strong Hidden Cloud Village executive let out an angry roar of unwillingness.

"Hahahaha, it's really ugly! Things that you can't catch yourself can be easily caught by others. In addition to being weak in strength, your brain is also particularly weak. Don't you think so, Ginkaku?"

Kinkaku, who had long yellow hair hanging around his horns, couldn't help but cross his arms and laughed and laughed.

"That's right. People who don't know better think this is a massacre convention. Sit down and don't embarrass yourself here."

The man with long silver hair and double horns, and six beard-like textures on his cheeks, is Ginkaku, the younger brother of Kinkaku.

Like his brother Kinkaku, he crossed his arms and glanced coldly at the village senior executive who roared unwillingly.

"If you brothers hadn't been ignoring orders, we should have gotten more Tailed Beasts, and the situation wouldn't be so passive!"

The words of this Hidden Cloud Village executive resonated with many senior staff.

As the leading representatives of the fighting faction in the village, Kinkaku and Ginkaku are so powerful that they can be called the largest armed force outside the Raikage faction. However, this armed force is not entirely affiliated with Kumogakure, but is entirely the private force of these brothers.

This also causes the brothers to ignore orders many times, which is Kumogakure's biggest thorn in the side.

"It's really ridiculous. It was obvious that we two brothers contributed the most when arresting Nine-Tails. What's more, the other Tailed Beasts are not among our brothers' targets. Those are your targets."

Kinkaku snorted coldly, undoubtedly revealing that the rest of Tailed Beasts's power was not worth the trouble he and his brother Ginkaku had to spend to obtain it.

"Anyway, we are in the same village now..."

"Wait a minute, old man, don't talk nonsense. Who is your companion?"

Kinkaku and Ginkaku interrupted coldly with disdain.

Many Hidden Cloud Village executives blushed, which was more than anything else.

"Okay, you all please calm down."

The sound was not loud, but the two sides who were at war with each other suddenly fell silent.

The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties with dark skin, slightly messy black hair and a black upper lip, which made him look not very majestic, but rather gentle.

This man is First Raikage·Ai of Kumogakure.

Before the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja Village was established, there was the Land of Lightning famous Lightning Release Ninja.

"Really, we always keep arguing over trivial matters like this. Kinkaku Ginkaku You are the same. Don't say such things that make your colleagues sad."

Ai let out a breath and pointed at Kinkaku and Ginkaku, who were the first to provoke, asking them to be quiet.

In every meeting, these brothers are the most restless provocateurs.

Kinkaku and Ginkaku squirmed their mouths twice, not provoking Ai like they did before provoking others, to give each other face.

"No matter what Konoha's intention is, Hidden Cloud Village cannot do without something like Tailed Beasts that can be used as a weapon. Therefore, I decided to participate in this meeting."

Ai announced his decision in an extremely calm tone.

"But, Lord Raikage..."

Before the senior executive who spoke had finished speaking, he saw Ai's dull eyes and immediately sat down again with sweat on his face and shut up.

Although Ai seems to be easy to talk to and has a gentle attitude, once he decides something, he doesn't like people to contradict him.

The First Kage of Five Great Nations Ninja Village ostensibly came to power through democratic elections from all ethnic groups, but in fact, before receiving democratic recommendations from all ethnic groups, they relied on their own force to defeat all the ninjas in the country.

"I don't object to Lord Raikage's decision, but what should we do if the attack on the mission happens again?"

Another senior executive was worried that Konoha would do the same thing again.

"So, Konoha does not plan to hold this meeting in his own village. It is probably because of the failure of the last meeting that he will use the territory of another country to hold it this time."

Ai answered calmly.

Although he was taught a bad lesson by Madara last time, he has successfully stepped out of the shadows with his strong psychological quality.

Moreover, if you dare not go abroad because you are afraid of Konoha's power, it will damage Kumogakure's face and make people think that he, Raikage, cannot afford to lose and is narrow-minded.

"Land of Night... There are rumors that they wear the same pants as Land of Fire and Konoha. Is it a trap?"

"Yes, this country seems to have two masterminds. In the previous shocking war, I heard that they also worked with Konoha Ninja to suppress Nine-Tails, who was controlled by Madara Uchiha... Their relationship with Konoha is really ambiguous."

Listening to people's increasingly crooked remarks, Ai was a little helpless.

The village is big, but this is not a good thing. It always has to go through long-lasting meetings to decide something.

Even as Raikage, he would not be able to object forcefully. After all, just using force, without a gentle policy, and not allowing them to express their opinions would reduce their sense of belonging to the village.

This will sooner or later create huge hidden dangers for the village.

It is also his important responsibility as Raikage to listen to the reasonable voices and petitions of the ninjas below as much as possible. He cannot blindly pursue high-pressure dictatorial policies in the village.

"Don't worry, I will contact the shadows in each village in advance to ensure that similar accidents will not happen."

If it is just a simple meeting, Ai will participate, but will not go into battle personally.

But the bait thrown by Konoha this time is really too tempting.

The power of Tailed Beasts is worthy of him going to Land of Night in person to participate in this meeting.

Hearing that Ai's attitude was still so resolute, everyone knew that they could not dissuade him.

"In this case, please Lord Raikage please bring more guards. The team also needs to be equipped with highly powerful Sensory ninjas and Medical Ninja. If anything goes wrong, Lord Raikage please evacuate immediately. We will also send a team to sneak into Land of Fields and do a good job in response."

Considering the ambiguity between Land of Night and Konoha, the senior officials were really worried about some traps.

After all, it is not very reliable to allocate Tailed Beasts to various countries.

Maybe this is just a stunt deliberately done by Konoha in order to hold the meeting smoothly. You can't really assign Tailed Beasts, right?
