Lin used her spiritual transformation technique to sense her current state and came to this conclusion.

She seems to be able to control the tailed beast chakra and senjutsu chakra more easily than before.

This change is not only mental, but also physical, and I can actually feel this.

——The power of the Ten-Tails is indeed in another 'dimension'. Words alone cannot describe how terrifying and powerful that guy is. Compared to the Uchiha clan's Suzuo Nōhu, he is the real God of Destruction.

!

Chongming said in Lin's heart.

This power has already entered Lin's body. Similarly, as a being that is perfectly 'integrated' with Lin, it can also use this power to serve itself and realize a deeper realm.

Shiraishi also expressed satisfaction and admiration for Lin's transformation.

In terms of perception, he is still superior to Lin. In Shiraishi's eyes, the blue fluid flame flowing on Lin's body is exactly the same as the state Minato displayed at that time... no, even closer.

Adult.

Although the sense of oppression is far less powerful than that brought by Minato...it may have something to do with the strength of the tailed beasts and the original power of the ten tails.

Even if it is only half of the Nine-Tails, the feeling of oppression is far stronger than that of the Seven-Tails.

It is very possible that there are many ten-tailed origins contained in the body of the half-headed nine-tails, and it is not comparable to this.

However, once you have made a start and found the right direction, how to increase your strength in the future will be relatively simple.

It's a pity that Nagato has stopped trading the 'Ten-Tails Body' with him for a long time. Otherwise, more of the origins of the Ten-Tails can be obtained.

After all, under the governance of Nagato for so many years, the Kingdom of Rain has barely solved the problem of food and clothing, and its military strength has also developed in a relatively healthy manner. During the period of competition between the Kingdom of Demons and the five traditional powers, the comprehensive national strength has also been steadily improved.

I will sign some unequal agreements with him again.

For example, one kilogram of sacred trees can replace how many kilograms of food and weapons from the Kingdom of Ghosts. Another example is that the Kingdom of Ghosts is needed to mediate the relationship between the Kingdom of Rain and other big countries, etc...

For the original Kingdom of Rain, these things were extremely difficult to establish on their own, but for the Kingdom of Ghosts, it was just a piece of cake.

Fortunately, Shiraishi also knew that Nagato could not allow the Kingdom of Demons to take advantage of him, so he did not feel too empty about Nagato being freed from the 'hostage' of the Kingdom of Demons.

The relationship with Akatsuki will also need to change next.

The period of peaceful development has passed, and now the two sides will become enemies against each other...

Lin's strength has become stronger, which is also a big guarantee for the Kingdom of Ghosts.

"Next, Lin, you can take advantage of your free time to do some combat training."

Lin's combat experience is not low. After all, she has participated in the Great Ninja War, and also had a very fierce battle when conquering Nanao... However, in most cases, Lin is still responsible for being a medical ninja, and

As a researcher, I have only had a handful of experiences in direct combat with ninjas over the years.

Unlike him, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Ghosts, every time he went to other countries to handle official business, he would encounter assassins with all kinds of weird abilities on the way, who wanted to steal his head and exchange it for money in an underground money exchange.

No matter how big the ninja world is, there are always some ninjas who are not well-known but have extremely weird abilities. Even the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Demons has difficulty collecting their information.

Occasionally, it would bring a lot of trouble to his travels.

What's more, in the early days of the White Fang team in Konoha, they often went to the front line of the Ninja World War battlefield. Many times they would face enemies several times their size. This situation lasted for several years, and they experienced countless life and death battles.

Not a few, naturally it also provides a lot of practical experience, and is no stranger to fighting Shiraishi.

Although most of the time, he is only responsible for cheering on the edge of the battlefield and acting as a medic.

"I understand, Teacher Shiraishi. This energy is really difficult to control. If you don't practice it seriously, it might be very troublesome if you encounter a powerful enemy."

As a medical ninja, Lin is different from most ninjas in that she is not too keen on fighting.

Her status in Minato's team in the past was similar to Shiraishi's. The battle matters were left to the leading Jonin Namikaze Minato, as well as Kakashi and Obito who were on the same team. In most cases, she only needed to be protected.

Just do it yourself.

But the situation today is slightly different.

Lin felt that this power, which was beyond the ordinary perfect Jinchūriki, would be too much of a waste if it was not properly exercised.

"The Sword Comes"

In the ensuing dispute, Shiraishi won't have much time to protect her.

In the Fourth Ninja World War that took place this time, even Obito, who had rarely been transferred out of the headquarters of the Kingdom of Demons, was sent to the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind. It is conceivable that this time he faced four great ninja villages.

The invasion was not easy for the Kingdom of Ghosts to deal with.

"As long as you understand this, the next dispute will no longer involve the Kingdom of Demons and the other big countries, but the Akatsuki guys will also get involved. As the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki, you will be targeted by them as a matter of course."

Shiraishi's tone was slightly heavy.

If it were just a fight against the five traditional powers, Shiraishi would have a huge chance of winning, even if he faced it head-on.

The military power of the Demon Country itself is enough to fight against three major powers at the same time, or even more. Coupled with Kirigakure, an ally who cooperates internally and externally, and spends a certain amount of money, it is enough to decide the outcome in one battle.

The premise is that there is no Xiao to stop it.

The Fourth Ninja World War that occurred this time was apparently a dispute between the Kingdom of Demons and the Four Great Nations, but secretly, the Akatsuki organization was also obstructing it, trying to plot against the Kingdom of Demons and obtain Sunagakure's tailed beasts. However, it was just that.

This time it was stopped, but Shiraishi couldn't guarantee that it would be stopped in time every time.

Akatsuki has obtained the two-tailed, four-tailed and five-tailed three-headed beasts.

Judging from their previous actions, their next target is undoubtedly Ichibi of Sunagakure Village.

However, due to the obstruction from the Kingdom of Ghosts, it may continue to maintain the same goals as before, or it may change its goals.

For example, the two tailed beasts that locked onto Lin and Kirigakure, Konoha and Kumogakure are also likely to become Akatsuki's next targets.

Of course, there is also the ‘Black Zetsu’ that Indra mentioned, who is also an ignorant guy.

From this point of view, the game behind the Fourth Ninja War is far more than a simple confrontation between the Kingdom of Demons and the four major powers.

As a Jinchuuriki, Lin may not be absolutely safe even if she is hidden in the capital of the Demon Country.

"Xiao? That is indeed a problem. Has Mr. Shiraishi figured out how to deal with them?"

Lin nodded and asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I will convene a military meeting to discuss this matter later. But one thing is for sure, that is, we cannot let Akatsuki find a way to solve the problem when he gets to the Nine-Tailed Beast."

Bai Shi thought for a moment and said.

A glimpse of the leopard revealed that the Nine-Tails, which only inherited a small part of the Ten-Tails' origin, was already so terrifying. So, Shiraishi could not imagine how powerful the Ten-Tails would be if it had gathered the Nine-Tails and the other eight tailed beasts.

He had no interest in waiting for Nagato to gather the nine tailed beasts and then think of ways to deal with Nagato.

Therefore, timing and preparation must be well controlled.

But when this opportunity will appear, and under what circumstances it will appear, we still need to observe Akatsuki's next move to capture the tailed beast... as well as the information that Oniyo can provide.

Akatsuki still needs to capture at least six tailed beasts in order to obtain the power of the ten tails, and the Demon Kingdom still has time to intervene.

◎

Half a month later, it was already the end of February, and the freezing air began to ease slightly, but there was still some time before spring arrived.

Sitting in the Konoha library, Naruto, who had finished his exam, faced Shikamaru, who was the examiner at this time, with a worried expression. To describe him as "glaring" would not be an exaggeration.

Although in the past half month, he had gritted his teeth and gone through various psychological battles, he could barely remember the book "On the Relationship between Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Illusion and Chakra, and its Basic Overview and Application"

Some of the content in it was actually unclear, and as for the nouns in it, I could only vaguely remember the content, but I didn’t understand its meaning.

To put it in one sentence, we only know its shape but not its spirit.

Fortunately, the test questions given by Shikamaru were all test questions that required memorization. Naruto, as a candidate, did not need to give his own opinions after complicated thinking... This was of course the result of Shikamaru's deliberate decision.

If there was an argumentative question, he doubted that Naruto would just copy the question and submit it as the answer.

The other party can hardly even memorize and grasp the content recited. He is required to think deeply about the essence and give his own thoughts and arguments. This may be more painful than killing him.

Even so, Naruto was still worried.

Because while reading this book, he dozed off from time to time. If it hadn't been for an idea that kept him going, he might have given up halfway.

After persevering, I realized that these half a month was like a year.

"How's it going, Shikamaru, did I pass?"

Naruto asked anxiously.

He didn't dare to expect that he could get excellent ratings, or in other words, he didn't think that he could get excellent ratings in the theoretical examination.

If you can get a passing grade, you should be thankful.

Shikamaru stared at Naruto and then focused on the paper. He quickly picked up the pen to draw and make quick corrections.

Each stroke was written very vigorously, without saying a word, and his face was full of seriousness, which made Naruto even more nervous and did not dare to breathe.

It wasn't until a minute later that Shikamaru stopped writing.

"Not bad, it's barely a passing grade."

Shikamaru nodded. Although the expression on his face was still dull, there was a different meaning in his eyes.

After all, before the exam, his greatest estimate was that Naruto would not be able to pass the exam.

This was the most reliable conclusion he had drawn based on Naruto's past performance in theory exams.

Even if it was just a basic question and there were no complex argumentative questions, it was a miracle that Naruto could get this result in Shikamaru's eyes.

Hearing Shikamaru say this, Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this half month was not wasted.

"Let me just say, as long as I want to do something, there is nothing I can't accomplish."

Naruto changed his previous caution and began to brag about his achievements.

"Don't be complacent, you just barely passed, and if you fail such a simple question, I think it would be better for you to go to a ninja school and retake the theoretical subjects."

Shikamaru didn't mind pouring cold water on Naruto at this time.

"Haha, I'm just saying it. And I wasted half a month of practice time just to finish reading this book. And, speaking of it, who wrote such a boring book? What is written in it?

I can't understand it at all."
