Saint Rosward on the table and roared at Kizaru.
It was his son who died!
"Saint Rosward, calm down!" Saint Nusjuro, Five Elders, dressed in a white robe and holding a sword, stopped Saint Rosward.
"Tell me about the enemy's strength first."
Saint Nusjuro said to Kizaru.
"The enemy is very strong. I believe that even if they don't have the strength of Sea Emperor, they definitely have the fighting power to Admiral Candidate!"
Then, Kizaru started exaggerating again, trying his best to make Uchiha Meikyō's strength seem as great as possible.
In this way, even if they failed to protect Saint Charlos, it would be a crime not committed in battle.
The logic is actually quite simple: if an ordinary pirate killed Celestial Dragon, then deploying Marine Admiral or launching Buster Call would be sufficient.
But what if one of the Four Emperors killed Celestial Dragon?
It's estimated that they'll just send out the Navy to fight a few large-scale battles with the other side, and then neither side can really defeat the other, and it'll all come to nothing in the end. After all, the Four Emperors are not so easily eliminated. If they wanted to get rid of one of the Four Emperors, they would have to mobilize the entire Navy's forces, causing a huge upheaval on the seas.
The Five Elders exchanged glances, and it was Saint Nusjuro spoke last.
"So, the enemy's Devil Fruit ability can teleport, achieving something similar to the Op-Op Fruit, even allowing for extremely long-distance teleportation. Furthermore, it can unleash an inextinguishable, extremely hot black flame that only dissipates after Saint Charlos's body is completely burned away?"
That's right.
Kizaru said with absolute certainty.
"I also sent people to check the scene. At the spot where Saint Charlos died, there were indeed traces of being scorched by extremely high temperatures on the ground. The enemy's strength should indeed be as Kizaru said, extremely powerful!"
Sengoku, standing to the side, tried his best to explain and defend Kizaru.
The strength of Sea Emperor?
To be honest, the Five Elders didn't really believe it.
However, if a Celestial Dragon were to be assassinated by an ordinary pirate, it would be a huge blow to the Celestial Dragon ' "god-like" prestige.
Therefore, the attacker must be an extremely powerful pirate!
The final outcome must be that the World Government, with its overwhelming power, captures him and, just like the Pirate King Roger, publicly executes and kills him in front of the entire world, in order to maintain the World Government's prestige!
Gradually, the Five Elders gained a general understanding of Uchiha Meikyō's strength and bounty.
They definitely cannot allow another Four Emperors to appear in the New World. They don't really believe that the other party has that level of strength, but he was able to kill a Celestial Dragon under Borsalino's command and escape unscathed, and before that, he killed all the CP guarding the Celestial Dragon.
Therefore, the Five Elders can roughly judge that the attacker's strength is likely comparable to that of the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates and the Four Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates.
However, given the perpetrator's heinous crime of assassinating Celestial Dragon, the Five Elders unanimously agreed that the bounty must be higher than that of such individuals. Therefore, in the end, they set a bounty of 1.5 billion Beli for Uchiha Meikyō.
Once this person is spotted and confirmed, Marine Admiral and CP0 will be dispatched to jointly pursue and capture him. Even the Five Elders are considering whether to ask the Holy Knights to intervene to ensure a safe capture.
This is almost the most heinous incident involving the Celestial Dragon since Rocks decades ago!
A bounty of 1.5 billion is almost the highest bounty level below that of Whitebeard, Kaido, and others.
However, when it came time to post Uchiha Meikyō's bounty, the World Government and the Navy encountered another problem.
Because they didn't even know the name of the person who killed the Celestial Dragon.
Not only is there no name, but there isn't even a single photograph of him; the painting was created by an artist based on Borsalino's description.
The entire World Government's intelligence network, including CP0, operated at full capacity for three months, but they still couldn't find a single clue about Uchiha Meikyō.
It's as if this person just appeared out of nowhere in this world.
Although Uchiha Meikyō truly appeared out of thin air.
The Naruto World.
Meikyō was unaware that a bounty of 1.5 billion Beli had made him famous in the Pirate World, nor did he know how much manpower and resources the World Government had spent searching for him.
At this time, he was still in Konoha.
Perhaps out of fear of the Mangekyō Sharingan, wanting to keep Uchiha Meikyō under his control, or perhaps out of concern that Meikyō, as Uchiha, would gain too much prestige on the battlefield, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not send Meikyō to the front lines again.
Although Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya encountered two Jinchuriki capable of Complete Tailed Beast Transformation Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, on the front lines of the Land of Earth some time ago, and were injured and returned to Konoha to recuperate, Hiruzen Sarutobi still believed that the situation could be maintained after Tsunade and Kato Dan were transferred to the front lines.
"As for internal injuries, Minato and Jiraiya- senpai, you've actually recovered quite well and are able to return to your previous training intensity."
In Konoha Hospital, Meikyō smiled and said to Minato and Jiraiya.
With Tsunade gone, Meikyō, as Tsunade's disciple and possessing near-first-rate medical skills, rightfully became the best Medical Ninja still remaining in Konoha.
This is precisely why Meikyō can legitimately use some of the Medical Department's high-end equipment for its own research, although there has been no substantial progress yet.
"Well, as expected of Tsunade's disciple, it hasn't been long, but my injuries have almost healed, and there aren't even any scars left."
Jiraiya looked at the smooth arm after the bandages were removed and clicked his tongue in amazement.
Aside from Tsunade, this was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful Medical Ninja.
"Lord Jiraiya, thank you for the compliment, but compared to Teacher Tsunade, my Medical Ninjutsu is still far inferior."
Meikyō put away the stethoscope on the table that was just for show Jiraiya.
The more Meikyō practiced Medical Ninjutsu, the more he could sense Tsunade's strength in Medical Ninjutsu area.
He is quite powerful compared to ordinary Medical Ninja, but he is still far behind Tsunade.
"By the way, Meikyō, I wonder if the Third Hokage-sama has mentioned to you that he'd like you to mentor this year's graduating Genin?"
Minato Namikaze suddenly looked at Meikyō with curiosity and said...
"Yes, but I don't know which disciples the Third Hokage-sama has assigned me. I'll probably find out on the day of the class assignments."
Meikyō truly did not know which disciples the Third Hokage would assign to him.
Although, in theory, as Jonin, he had the authority to designate a particular student as his disciple, the Third Hokage said that he had already assigned one to him long ago.
"I see! It just so happens that Minato has also been assigned to be the Jonin Instructor for this year's Genin. Why don't you two have a competition to see whose student becomes Chunin first?"
Jiraiya, and he spoke with great interest.
There's a growing trend in the outside world to elevate the Meikyō the Body Flicker" to the same level as the Golden Flash."
One was a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, and the other was a disciple of Tsunade, another of the Sannin Princess Tsunade. Both were under twenty years old, yet their strength rivaled that of the older generation of powerful ninjas. They were even speed-type ninjas. As people marveled at the abundance of young geniuses in Konoha, they naturally compared these two.
"This... let's forget about it. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't mean anything."
Meikyō shook her head and refused.
If I'm not mistaken, Hatake Kakashi will definitely remain Minato Namikaze's disciple. Aside from not having the bloodline of the Six Paths family, his talent is basically at the limit of a regular ninja.
He graduated at five, Chunin six, Jonin twelve. His growth rate in the early stages was simply unbelievable.
"Well, just as the old man said, you have a gentle personality that doesn't seem like that of Uchiha. I thought that as Uchiha, you would definitely accept it directly!"
Jiraiya scratched his head and said with a grin.
"By the way, Meikyō, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Minato Namikaze looked at Meikyo, who had neatly put the Meikyō into a drawer, and suddenly seemed to remember something and said something.
"What is it?" Meikyō asked casually.
"It's about the Tailed Beast. I heard that you were the one who suppressed and killed them on the front lines in Suna?"
Meikyō raised an eyebrow.
Without Minato Namikaze's reminder, he almost forgot something.
Previously, he used Susanoo unleash the Totsuka Blade, initially intending to seal the One-Tail Shukaku directly, but was stopped by Rasa and failed.
However, in the process, a portion of Shukaku's Chakra was sealed away.
This thing may also have considerable research value.
That's right.
Meikyō nodded in reply.
"Well then, there are two things I'd like to ask you, Meikyō, because perhaps you are the most suitable candidate," Minato Namikaze said earnestly.
Tell me about it.
Meikyō neither immediately agreed nor refused, speaking ambiguously.
"It's about Kushina. Actually, there's a Tailed Beast sealed inside her, even the strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails, which is much stronger than the other Tailed Beast. I heard from the Third Hokage-sama that your Mangekyō Sharingan, like Wood Release, has the power to suppress Tailed Beast. So, I'd like to ask you to help me take care of Kushina recently. Otherwise, she won't be able to get out of the sealing barrier, and I'm very worried about her current mental state."
"If the Third Hokage-sama agrees, then I have no problem."
Meikyō felt she had no reason to refuse.
However, the key question is whether the Third Hokage would agree to let an Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan get close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
They may agree, or they may disagree.
If they actually agree, it means that they have now basically won the trust of Third Hokage.
"That's wonderful! Jiraiya and I will definitely persuade the Third Hokage-sama!"
A bright smile immediately spread across Minato Namikaze's face.
"By the way, Minato, you said there were two things, what's the other one?"
"I think I know what Minato is talking about." Jiraiya slapped his forehead, then stretched out his hand in front of Meikyō, releasing a light blue vortex of Chakra from his palm, which spun rapidly.
"Since you, Meikyō, have also fought against the Tailed Beast, you must have witnessed their unique technique, the Tailed Beast Ball. After witnessing the Tailed Beast Ball, Minato wanted to develop a new hand seal-less Ninjutsu based on its principles. However, unfortunately, although he knew that the Tailed Beast formed the Tailed Beast Ball by rotating and compressing Chakra, in the actual development process, he was completely unable to demonstrate the destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball, and its stability was also much worse."
Jiraiya then recounted how he and Minato, along with their squad, encountered the two Tailed Beasts on the front lines of Iwagakure.
Rōshi, the Rōshi of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.
There's also the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han.
These two Jinchuriki had already trained to use their complete Tailed Beast Transformation forms, making them extremely powerful. When they used the Tailed Beast Ball together, the power was earth-shattering. If Minato hadn't used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away with Jiraiya and the team at the crucial moment, they would probably have perished on the front lines.
Even so, they were still seriously injured by the Tailed Beast in that great battle, and had no choice but to return to Konoha to recuperate.
"So, if you, Meikyō, have also seen the Tailed Beast Ball, I think you might be able to offer some suggestions on how I develop this new technique."
So, was it around this time that Minato Namikaze developed the Rasengan?
When Minato Namikaze mastered the Rasengan, it greatly increased his damage ceiling, significantly improving his ability to instantly kill opponents and break through the defenses of skilled enemies. Combined with his increasingly masterful Flying Thunder God Technique, his strength experienced another explosive growth, and he might even be able to fight the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on his own in the future, reaching his peak.
"Sure."
Meikyō smiled and nodded in reply.
"Then it's settled. After this class assignment is over, let's go to the Training Ground 3 together and discuss it in detail!"
Minato Namikaze smiled broadly and made a promise to Meikyō.
The next day, in the morning, in the Hokage's Office.
"Using the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to help Kushina better control the Nine-Tails and prevent the Tailed Beast Chakra from going berserk..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sat upright at his desk, smoking his pipe as he pondered the suggestions that Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya had just submitted.
These two, along with Uchiha Meikyō, now stood in a row in front of the Third Hokage.
Regarding Uchiha Meikyō, the Third Hokage believed that he had won him over as one of his own, but even Third Hokage himself was not so sure how deep that trust was.
If Uchiha Meikyō hadn't been born into the Uchiha Clan, the Third Hokage would have already regarded him as a junior worthy of his full trust, just like Minato Namikaze.
The previous chapter didn't explain things clearly, but even after the period of writing 10,000 words a day ends, I will still try my best to maintain 4,000 words a day...
This recent storyline is based on the Minato's Story that were released a while ago. In those tales, Minato and Jiraiya returned to the village to develop the Rasengan after encountering the Four-Tails Five-Tails. Therefore, there must have been a period during the Third Shinobi War where Minato and Jiraiya were not on the front lines. Furthermore, based on the background of Minato Kushina, Team Minato had already been formed at that time. My personal speculation is that it was around this period that Minato started Genin.
