Tailed Beast Transfer Put on the Agenda

Even if Jingyi said he could not see, it would not affect his ability to treat people.

Unfortunately, many people remained skeptical of that claim.

Jingyi understood everyone's concerns. Anyone who was sick or injured and needed a doctor would worry upon discovering that their doctor was blind.

That was a normal psychological reaction, unless Jingyi had actually treated someone while unable to see.

Unfortunately, he had never gotten such an opportunity.

During peacetime, conflicts and friction at Border Camp were exceedingly rare, let alone large-scale battles. Without battles, where would injured people come from?

If someone managed to hurt themselves without fighting or stepping on a trap, they would probably be laughed to death by everyone else.

Hanzō had ambitions, but he was not stupid. He would not provoke a conflict with Konoha for no reason, so Border Camp remained peaceful. Konoha's ninja would not take the initiative to cross the border into the Land of Rain.

Likewise, Amegakure's ninja would not casually enter the Land of Fire.

Tsunade regularly sent some news and intelligence from the village to the camp through puppet crows.

This allowed Jingyi to keep abreast of the changing situation in the Shinobi World.

Sunagakure's provocations and tests against Konoha continued. Though they merely went through the motions each time, they were like a fly constantly buzzing around someone, endlessly irritating.

Besides Sunagakure's ongoing provocations, the more important news concerned Kushina.

Mito Uzumaki's health had worsened considerably compared with last year.

Mito Uzumaki's declining health was unquestionably bad news for Konoha.

It meant that the matter of transferring the Nine-Tails had to be put on the agenda.

Transferring the Nine-Tails did not mean waiting until Mito Uzumaki died before stuffing it into Kushina's body. It had to be transferred before Mito Uzumaki died.

This method of transfer would allow Mito Uzumaki to help suppress the Nine-Tails' power.

Without Mito Uzumaki's suppression, leaving aside whether Kushina could withstand the Nine-Tails' power, once a Jinchūriki died, the Tailed Beast could regain its freedom. Whether Konoha in this era could capture the Nine-Tails again was still unknown.

Without monsters like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, even Tobirama Senju would have a headache if he ran into the Nine-Tails.

Not to mention the Third Hokage and the rest of them.

If the Nine-Tails broke free of its seal, Nine-Tails' Night would likely happen ahead of schedule. Konoha in this era had no ninja capable of using the Flying Thunder God to transfer away a Tailed Beast Ball.

If the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball exploded inside the village, the outcome would definitely be one hell of a ride.

After all, according to countless netizens' comparisons from every angle, apart from lacking terrifying radiation, the Nine-Tails' charged Tailed Beast Ball was absolutely no less powerful than a nuclear bomb.

Just imagine how horrifying it would be for an explosion comparable to a nuclear bomb to erupt inside a village.

Many people died during Nine-Tails' Night, and that was only because Little Blondie transferred both the Tailed Beast Ball and the Nine-Tails away. If the battle had erupted inside the village, no one knew how many people in Konoha would have died.

Though the Third Hokage was not much of a person, he had one virtue: he knew his own limits and did not dare compare himself to Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.

He knew perfectly well that once the Tailed Beast escaped, no one in the village could stop that terrifying giant fox.

Mito Uzumaki was too old. While the Nine-Tails remained sealed, she could still suppress it somewhat, but once it broke free, even if Mito Uzumaki did not die, she would not be a match for it.

Thus, successfully transferring the Tailed Beast became the village's top priority.

Even Sunagakure's provocations and harassment could be pushed back a notch.

Transferring the Tailed Beast meant Mito Uzumaki would die. Tsunade had long prepared herself mentally, but Nawaki and Kushina would likely suffer for a long time.

"I hope everything goes smoothly."

Jingyi sighed and destroyed the scroll Tsunade had sent him.

Far away at Border Camp, he could not help with anything. He could only pray that the transfer of the Tailed Beast would conclude smoothly.

Not only could he do nothing from distant Border Camp, but even if he could help, the F4 would not allow him to intervene. To them, Jingyi was ultimately only half a person—trustworthy, but not entirely trustworthy.

So they would not give Jingyi any chance to involve himself in this matter.

"Kushina, what's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Over the past few days, the atmosphere at home had become oppressive. Tsunade had not even gone to work, staying home every day to keep her grandmother company, while Kushina's face had recently lost its smile.

She and Tsunade both knew what transferring the Tailed Beast meant.

Only Nawaki, that foolish boy, was being kept in the dark.

"Why are you asking such nonsense?"

Tsunade smacked Nawaki on the head and earnestly lectured him:

"Nawaki, when you go to the Daimyo's Court to visit the daimyo this time, you need to behave yourself, understand? Don't you dare fool around and cause trouble at the Daimyo's Court."

To prevent Nawaki from having an extreme reaction, the best option was to send him away.

That was Mito Uzumaki's wish.

She hoped that after everything was over, they could bring Nawaki back and tell him the truth.

"Got it. Why are you being so fierce?"

Nawaki pouted unhappily. He did not want to go to the Daimyo's Court, but his grandmother was too old to leave the village, while his sister Tsunade had matters keeping her occupied, so he could only go to the Daimyo's Court as their representative.

You little brat, are you asking for a beating?

Tsunade's expression darkened. Give this kid a little sunshine, and he would start glowing.

"..."

Danger!

Noticing that something was wrong with his sister's expression, Nawaki promptly shut his mouth. He no longer dared complain and obediently continued eating.

As for why Kushina was in such a bad mood, he would investigate once he returned from the Daimyo's Court.

"Jiraiya will be going to the Daimyo's Court with you this time."

After giving her younger brother a small warning, Tsunade still tossed him a little reward by sending Jiraiya along with Nawaki.

Though Jiraiya was unreliable in small matters, he had never been careless when it came to important ones.

Tsunade was still at ease leaving Nawaki in his care.

The only annoying part was that the bastard might take Nawaki to peep at people bathing or something.

Jiraiya's rotten habit was probably impossible to change.

What angered Tsunade most was that not only could Jiraiya not change himself, he had also led Nawaki astray.

Thinking back to her brother's foolish yet clear eyes from before, then looking at him now, she sighed. She could only hope that once he grew up, he would not mess around like Jiraiya.

"Really?"

Nawaki was so excited that he even dropped his chopsticks onto the table.

Tsunade's face darkened. "Really, but if you follow him around and mess about, you're dead!"

"I promise I'll behave! I definitely won't fool around or cause trouble."

Nawaki made all sorts of promises.

His promises only made Tsunade more worried. Nawaki merely liked to fool around, but if he obediently listened to Jiraiya, who knew what kind of trouble they might stir up.

They were both lawless troublemakers. Putting them together could not possibly lead to anything good.

Yet Nawaki's identity was special. At the Daimyo's Court, aside from the daimyo, no one could lay a finger on him.

That would undoubtedly only fuel Nawaki's arrogance.
