" Naruto is out of the question. That's Konoha's bottom line. Let's try other conditions."
Despite feeling somewhat apprehensive, the Third Hokage maintained his bottom line and resolutely refused to relinquish control of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Fortunately, Naoki Senju never imagined that he could obtain Naruto and Nine-Tails so easily. As Lu Xun once said, if everyone disagrees on opening a window, then they might as well suggest tearing down the entire roof...
"The actual control of Konoha Hospital and Konoha Finance Department will be handed over to the Senju Clan. Sister Shizune will serve as the director of Konoha Hospital, and Sister Tsunade will take over the Finance Department."
At this point, Naoki Senju suddenly felt a little guilty. Appointing Sister Tsunade as Konoha Finance Department... he was genuinely worried that one casino wouldn't be enough for Sister Tsunade, and she'd end up turning Konoha into the Shinobi World's version of Las Vegas...
Unsurprisingly, the Third Hokage refused, and the reason for his refusal was quite simple:
"The hospital can be handed over to the Senju Clan at any time, but the actual power in the Ministry of Finance currently Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, and even I don't have the power to dismiss them."
It is common knowledge that politicians' words cannot be trusted at all, not even a punctuation mark. As the most senior Hokage, dismissing Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura would be no difficult task for him; it was simply a matter of whether he was willing or not.
This is a bit tricky... Instead of pushing Hiruzen Sarutobi further, Naoki Senju opted for a less desirable option:
" The Jinchūriki will remain under the jurisdiction of the Anbu, but Naruto Uzumaki's guardians will henceforth be the Senju Clan."
The Third Hokage had no reason to refuse this condition. As long as Naruto remained under the Anbu's surveillance, there was no possibility of an accident, and even if one did occur, it could be brought under control in time.
Before leaving, the Third Hokage left behind a message:
"Aside from leaving Konoha, the Anbu will no longer interfere with Naruto's actions within the Konoha."
This is the designated area, but that's enough. Naoki Senju shook the unconscious Naruto, and casually reminded the Teuchi man, Teuchi, not to mention what just happened, or he'd be in big trouble.
"Hmm~ What happened?"
Naruto Uzumaki was still groggy when he woke up. Luckily, he hadn't fallen headfirst into the noodle soup, or he would definitely be lying in Konoha Hospital right now.
Naoki Senju placed a new bowl of noodles in front of Naruto, successfully diverting Naruto's rare attention.
'Now, it's time to have a talk with Nine-Tails.'
When extracting the Nine-Tails Chakra, Naoki Senju also conveniently stored his own Chakra into Naruto's body. While pretending to close his eyes and rest, Naoki Senju's consciousness had already entered the space where the Nine-Tails was sealed.
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
The damp, sewer-like environment was extremely harsh, which explains why Nine-Tails was constantly plotting his escape. However, Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the annoying Fourth Hokage repeatedly thwarted his freedom.
Naoki Senju quickly found the Nine-Tails -Tails, Kurama, whose size was even larger than the Three-Tails.
"Human who sealed the Three-Tails, what business do you have with me? Be careful, or I'll devour you and the Three-Tails together."
Without these solid seals in front of it, the Nine-Tails might have posed a greater threat. However, the Nine-Tails now is like a squeaking bird through a cage, utterly harmless.
" Nine-Tails, how about we team up?"
"Cooperation? What a joke! I never cooperate with humans. If you're hoping that the little turtle inside you will make me look up to you, you're mistaken."
Nine-Tails ' undisguised and insane taunts didn't anger Naoki Senju Naoki Senju time, but it was Three-Tails, who had come in with him, who couldn't stand it anymore.
"Fox, weren't you also sealed away by humans? And you actually revealed our names, and even the Sage of Six Paths's name, to humans! You traitor to the Tailed Beast!"
Nine-Tails was initially stunned by Three-Tails' insults. When did Three-Tails tell humans the names of the Tailed Beast and the Sage of Six Paths? But after realizing what was happening, Nine-Tails immediately unleashed its foul mouth, verbally abusing Three-Tails mercilessly, taking advantage of Three-Tails' honesty as a Tailed Beast.
So the Three-Tails is gone. What came with Naoki Senju was just a Chakra, which the Three-Tails could discard at any time. Indeed, to deal with a foul-mouthed fox like the Nine-Tails, perhaps only the One-Tail Tanuki could barely contend with it...
The proud Nine-Tails would never explain anything to the Three-Tails; it would only use the most vicious words and the biggest fists to shut the other Tailed Beast up.
One-Tail Shukaku has been attacked the most, deeply understands this feeling.
Three-Tails ran away after being scolded, and Nine-Tails seemed somewhat dejected. They rested their two front paws alternately on the water's surface, their massive fox heads perched on it, eyes closed, taking a nap. Their nine enormous tails swept back and forth behind them; they would surely be very warm if used as a blanket...
"Human, tell me your terms, maybe you can persuade the Nine-Tails Fox."
"No need, I've changed my mind."
Naoki Senju coldly interrupted Nine-Tails's arrogant remarks. Since Nine-Tails wouldn't cooperate, he wouldn't blame him for using force.
Naoki Senju's true form continuously poured Chakra into Naruto's body. Naruto, who had been initially overjoyed, instantly became Kunai. Instead of abandoning the plan, Naoki Senju offered a word of comfort:
"Just bear with it for a while. After this, you won't be the worst student in the whole grade anymore, but a dazzling Ninjutsu genius."
Naruto's endurance wasn't particularly impressive; he was trembling on the table, writhing from the throbbing pain of a large amount of Chakra entering his body. However, his obsession with escaping his status as the worst Naruto prevented him from rolling on the ground in embarrassment.
As Chakra was injected, Naoki Senju's aura grew stronger and stronger within the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. The Chakra aura also gave Nine-Tails a familiar feeling, but it had been too long and he could no longer remember it clearly.
Once he had enough Chakra, Naoki Senju clapped his hands and uttered the Ninjutsu that Nine-Tails) remembered so vividly:
" Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique."
The ferocious Wood Dragon snaked its way up the massive body of the Nine-Tails. The nine furry tails lashed at the Wood Dragon as if it were just tickling it. On the contrary, the Nine-Tails creature's body was so tightly wrapped that it was already a little unsteady.
As Nine-Tails's body crashed onto the water, its angry roar echoed within the sealed space. Nine-Tails finally recognized this somewhat familiar Chakra.
" Wood Release! This is damned Wood Release! You're a descendant of Hashirama Senju!"
If Nine-Tails were to compile a list of hatreds, then the number one would undoubtedly be Madara Uchiha, the terrifying man who made him a summoning beast. The number two would be the Masked Man forcibly controlled him with his Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan. Although the Masked Man claimed to be Madara Uchiha, Nine-Tails was certain that it was definitely not Madara Uchiha, because their Mangekyō Sharingan were different.
The third-ranked couple is undoubtedly Hashirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki, because it was because of them that Nine-Tails) began its endless life of being sealed away.
Then came the Minato couple...
Faced with Nine-Tails's resistance, Chakra Naoki Senju silently increased the amount of chakra he absorbed until Nine-Tails was weak and its fur was no longer shiny before withdrawing the Wood Dragon Technique.
"The sealing of the Three-Tails is complete, and the Nine-Tails Chakra has been obtained. What remains are the One-Tail from Sunagakure, the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails from Kumogakure, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Iwagakure, the Six-Tails from Kirigakure, and the Seven-Tails from Takigakure..."
Next, it's a race against the Akatsuki to see who can gather Nine Tailed Beasts 'Chakra first...
