Chapter 543: Intelligence Sharing, Speculations
"Minato?!!"
Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato in astonishment.
Obviously, even he didn't know about Namikaze Minato's decision before.
Kaito could understand Jiraiya's surprise.
After all, there is a reason why most Jinchūriki have to be trained from childhood.
But not all tailed beasts are as easy to talk to as the Three-tails Isobu, who can choose adults as Jinchūriki at will.
Even the Six-tails Saiken, whose personality is considered good among the nine tailed beasts, can only choose suitable individuals from children to start training because of its extremely corrosive chakra, so that the body can gradually adapt to the power of the tailed beast during the growth process.
The nine-tailed beast not only has a violent personality, but also has the most violent chakra nature among the nine tailed beasts.
In the original work, the reason why Namikaze Minato was active as the nine-tailed Jinchūriki in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Kaito guessed that it was probably because he was an immortal body of the Impure World Reincarnation at that time, and the other half of the Nine-Tails had been influenced by Uzumaki Naruto's persuasion, so there was no backlash.
But now the Nine-Tails.
Even if there is only half of it, it is not difficult for Namikaze Minato to force himself to become a Jinchūriki, but it is not far from it.
It's just that Namikaze Minato seems to be quite determined about this.
He shook his head slightly at Jiraiya first, and then explained.
"I can't agree to Naruto becoming a Jinchūriki, and in the current situation, Konohagakure is also in urgent need of the power of the Nine-Tails to replenish its combat power. It is impossible to continue to wait for the new Jinchūriki to grow slowly."
Jiraiya can certainly understand the second half of Namikaze Minato's words.
Although the Third Great Ninja War has ended, the crisis of the Zero Organization is imminent, and it is indeed necessary to use every bit of power.
He was originally planning to propose later that Tsunade, who had given up her ninja identity, be brought back to Konohagakure.
However, Namikaze Minato said "Let Naruto become a Jinchūriki".
Jiraiya's eyes were slightly cold.
"Did that bastard Danzo propose this?!"
Namikaze Minato just remained silent after hearing this, but the answer was self-evident.
Jiraiya's chest was boiling with anger when he saw this, but in the end he could only let out a long sigh.
Is there anything wrong with Shimura Danzo's proposal to let Uzumaki Naruto become the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
As the only one in Konohagakure Village who has half the physique of the Uzumaki clan, Naruto is also a newborn baby. He can be said to be the most suitable candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Moreover, Naruto's father, Namikaze Minato, who is the fourth Hokage, is still alive.
This is also consistent with the policy advocated by the great ninja villages to tie the relationship between the Jinchuriki and the Kage.
Danzo's move can even be said to be for the public good, which not only ensures the stability of the Jinchuriki, but also selflessly enhances the strength of the Hokage line.
No matter from which angle, it will not be criticized by others.
But as a father, Namikaze Minato.
With the threat of the Zero Organization coveting the existence of the tailed beasts, Jiraiya also couldn't find a reason to refuse the choice of using himself as a target instead of his son.
"Ah..."
"Let's discuss this matter slowly later."
After a helpless sigh, Jiraiya could only choose to avoid this topic first and turned to look at Kaito beside him.
"Mizukage-sama, you now know everything that happened in Konohagakure tonight. What about the new information you mentioned earlier?"
Kaito glanced at Namikaze Minato who was also looking earnest, and spoke slowly.
"What? Orochimaru?"
Jiraiya looked at Kaito with disbelief.
"Yes, not only Orochimaru, but also the rebel ninja of Sunagakure Village, Sasori of the Red Sand."
"On the way back from the last Five Kage Summit, these two people intercepted me as members of the Zero Organization."
Although Orochimaru was a rebel ninja of Konohagakure and was familiar with Namikaze Minato, he was different from Jiraiya, who was once a close partner. So Namikaze Minato was relatively calm at this moment, and instead raised another question.
"With your strength, Mizukage-sama, you can't fight them head-on. And you can't catch those two people on the spot?"
After all, Orochimaru was his sensei's former teammate, so Namikaze Minato didn't say the word "kill" directly.
It's just that Namikaze Minato has a certain understanding of the strength of Orochimaru and Kaito.
It's hard to imagine that the other party can escape from Kaito safely.
This time, Kaito didn't choose to mention the "cooperation" mentioned by Orochimaru, but simply explained the existence of the "Impersonation Jutsu".
"There is such an evil ninjutsu?"
Jiraiya, who had recovered a little, murmured in disbelief.
The existence of the "Impersonation Jutsu" will undoubtedly make it more difficult to deal with the Zero Organization.
If the opponent really doesn't want to expose himself, as long as he keeps sending out the "Impersonation Jutsu Clone" to fight, even if the five great ninja villages kill the opponent's members countless times, it will not cause too much damage to the Zero Organization.
Kaito ignored Jiraiya who was in shock, but instead added fuel to the fire.
"Not only Orochimaru and Sasori, on my way to Konohagakure tonight, I encountered a female member of the Zero Organization again, and she also used the Impersonation Jutsu."
"The other party also has the Mangekyō Sharingan and Wood Style abilities!"
"I suspect that the attacker this time is the same person as the one who attacked Sunagakure Village before!"
This time, even the originally calm Namikaze Minato began to get a little uneasy.
Now, the so-called Zero Organization has only eight members exposed.
The result.
A man who claims to be Uchiha Madara has the Rinnegan and Sharingan, Orochimaru, the S-rank rebel ninja of Konohagakure Village, and now a woman with Sharingan and Wood Style has appeared.
Three of the eight people are actually involved with Konohagakure.
"This, this."
Faced with such a situation, Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya didn't know how to explain for a while.
Kaito glanced at the two of them, as if to prove the credibility of his words, and said again.
"The location where I encountered the female Uchiha is in the territory of the Land of Fire, between the Land of Hot Water and Konohagakure."
Kaito accurately reported the location of the previous battle, spread his hands indifferently, and continued.
"The scale of the battle is not small. Whether it is the remaining traces or the villagers near the Land of Fire, they should be able to confirm it. If you two don't believe it, you can send someone to check it out yourself."
Seeing Kaito's attitude of letting Konohagakure verify it, Namikaze Minato instantly thought of the bodies of "Red" and "Yellow" who were still lying in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Suddenly, he got a headache.
But then, Namikaze Minato frowned slightly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked at Kaito with some disbelief.
"Kumogakure Village?!!"
