Chapter 542 Uzumaki Naruto, Nine-Tails Jinchūriki
As soon as Namikaze Minato turned around, Kaito was surprised to find that behind the Fourth Hokage, there was a sleeping baby.
The little blond baby was wrapped in a clean swaddling cloth, with only the little head with eyes closed and sleeping exposed.
The straps on both sides of the swaddling cloth were tightly wrapped around Namikaze Minato's waist. Even though his pace was not slow, the swaddling cloth did not feel any bumps.
"What is this?"
Kaito could guess the identity of this blond baby, but looking at the three whisker-like marks on both sides of the little thing's cheeks, he was still a little confused.
'Is Naruto already the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki? No, no matter how poor my perception is, I can still recognize the Jinchūriki who had a tail beast sealed inside him just now at such a close distance! '
'Is Naruto's whisker not inherited from the Nine-Tails?'
While Kaito was thinking about all sorts of things, Namikaze Minato, who was leading the way in front, stopped.
Obviously, Kaito's questioning tone made him misunderstand something, so he immediately turned to Kaito and explained.
"This is my son, Uzumaki Naruto."
At this time, Namikaze Minato's face did not show the gloomy look before, but the gentle sunshine in his smile seemed a little too dazzling in the middle of the night.
However, due to doubts about Naruto's surname, Kaito still asked in a somewhat unpleasant way.
"Uzumaki?"
Namikaze Minato heard this, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he still forced himself to keep a gentle smile and said softly.
"Naruto needs to remember his mother."
After saying this, Namikaze Minato seemed to realize that his emotions were a little too exposed, and he turned around in silence and continued to walk forward.
Jiraiya, who was standing aside, saw this and gave Kaito a somewhat apologetic look.
Kaito shook his head indifferently and quickly followed the footsteps of Namikaze Minato.
As soon as he entered this temporary office room, the ugly old face of Shimura Danzo came into view.
Kaito curled his lips in disdain, not wanting to pay attention to such a disgusting guy.
Who knew that Shimura Danzo, the old guy, didn't know what was wrong with him. As soon as he saw Kaito, he asked in a bad tone.
"Mizukage kid! What is your purpose in coming to Konohagakure at this time?!"
"Danzo?!"
Shimura Danzo's sudden and impolite remarks were obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and Jiraiya immediately scolded him.
But someone's action was one step faster than Jiraiya's voice.
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, Kaito's figure disappeared like a ghost, and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kaito directly made a claw with one hand and grabbed Danzo's neck.
Then there was a muffled sound of "bang~".
Shimura Danzo was smashed to the ground.
However, before Shimura Danzo could even scream out in pain, all his sounds were firmly trapped in his throat by Kaito.
"Shh~ Don't make any noise, your voice is too unpleasant, it will disturb the baby's sleep."
"And you must remember that you are Konohagakure's advisor, so don't be sarcastic in front of me, the Mizukage."
Kaito's previous series of actions were as fast as lightning and too unexpected.
Before anyone could react, Shimura Danzo had been taken down by him on the spot.
Well, it can't be said that everyone was unable to react.
Namikaze Minato, the only one who could react to Kaito's actions, was completely indifferent to the scene in front of him.
Instead, he gently patted the sleeping little Naruto, as if he was really worried that the movement just now had woken up his child.
It was not until Kaito slowly let go of Shimura Danzo who was no longer struggling that Namikaze Minato gave an indifferent order.
"Elder Danzo must have been too tired tonight. I have to trouble you, Chief Fugaku, please take him down to rest."
Shimura Danzo, who was still holding his throat and losing his voice in pain, looked at Namikaze Minato with an unbelievable face.
The ugly face, under the blessing of pain and fear, made people feel even more disgusted.
Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing aside, of course, didn't care about Danzo's thoughts. After nodding his head and accepting the order, he immediately supported Shimura Danzo who was still a little unwilling, and left the room in an instant.
At this time, there were only three people left in the room, Kaito, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya.
Well, there was also the sleeping little Naruto.
Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya didn't seem to care much about what just happened, as if the person who had a conflict with the Mizukage, Kaito, was not from Konohagakure.
Instead, it was Kaito, the "troublemaker", who took the initiative to speak to Namikaze Minato.
"Danzo is not a good guy. His existence may not be a good thing for Konohagakure."
After seeing Namikaze Minato's attitude, Kaito only gave a suggestion that everyone knew.
After that, the three of them didn't dwell on this topic.
It was Jiraiya who took the lead in getting the topic back on track and asked about the information that Kaito mentioned earlier.
"Mizukage-sama, you just said that Kirigakure has obtained some of the latest information about the Zero Organization. Can you tell us now?"
Kaito looked at the two people who were somewhat expectant, but still shook his head slightly.
"Let's talk about what happened tonight first. Although I know this may be a bit cruel to you, this is also the main purpose of my coming here tonight."
The two were silent after hearing this, but in the end, Jiraiya, who experienced the whole process, took the initiative to tell everything about tonight.
Although some aspects involved Konohagakure's secrets, such as the "Shiki Fūjin" and the internal conflicts of the Uchiha clan, Jiraiya covered them up during the narration.
However, Kaito himself had his own judgment on the series of events tonight, and he might even know more clearly than Konohagakure, the victim, or even Uchiha Obito, the planner.
So he just pretended to ask a few detailed questions, showing that he really valued this information, and did not continue to delve into it.
On the contrary, the loss of the Nine-Tails mentioned by Jiraiya at the end made Kaito a little concerned.
"So, half of the Nine-Tails has fallen into the hands of the Zero Organization?"
Seeing Kaito mention the Nine-Tails, Namikaze Minato took over the conversation.
"Yes, the guy who called himself Uchiha Madara finally escaped with half of the Nine-Tails."
"As for the remaining half, the Nine-Tails was sealed by the Third Hokage-sama."
At this point, Namikaze Minato's eyes suddenly became cold and resolute, and he continued to speak in an unquestionable tone.
"I plan to seal the remaining Nine-Tails in my own body."
"Become the next generation of Nine-Tails Jinchūriki!!"
