In the end, Namikaze Minato made a vague guarantee regarding Nonou's matter, and then dealt with Kabuto.
But on the way back, the matter of prisoner exchange came to mind again. Namikaze Minato quickly recalled that during the day, he had a detailed discussion with Nara Shikaku about the Jinchūriki exchange for intelligence. It had to be said that Nara Shikaku really lived up to his expectations.
In the name of Military Advisor Ye, he only carefully asked Minato Namikaze a few specific details about the information obtained by Nonou's spy on Kumogakure, and then directly and implicitly expressed that this deal was not a good deal at all.
At that time, Namikaze Minato immediately fell into a brief silence, thinking that Shikaku had indeed noticed the clues about this matter. After all, Mito Kato and Koharu were just two stubborn old fools, but Konoha's military advisor was a shrewd one.
people.
What he said about Nonou's control over Kumogakure's method of cultivating a perfect Jinchuuriki is that the intelligence value is very high. In fact, it cannot withstand careful scrutiny. First of all, according to common sense, Anbu will definitely make a decision before he falls into the hands of the enemy.
Send all the important information obtained back to the headquarters. Secondly, Kumogakure's methods may not necessarily apply to Konoha. For example, Kumogakure has a special training place, the Real Waterfall, but Konoha does not. Moreover, Kumogakure's two-tailed and eight-tailed beasts
The characteristics and abilities are also completely different from Konoha's Nine-Tails.
For these reasons, even if the methods are exactly the same, there is no guarantee that they will be effective.
Just when Namikaze Minato was thinking hard about how to hide it from Nara Shikaku, he didn't expect that the latter suddenly became a "deformed".
"Hokage-sama has always been far-sighted. I guess you will not simply return the two-tailed Jinchuuriki to the Kingdom of Thunder..." When Nara Shikaku said these words, he had an unpredictable and meaningful smile on his face.
, which made Namikaze Minato stunned for a long time.
"Uh, ahem, it's true. This matter is actually not as simple as it seems..." In order to maintain his image, Minato Namikaze chose to pretend it was tough.
Although he pretended for a while, with Shikaku's shrewdness, he might be exposed sooner or later.
At this time, Namikaze Minato calmed down and thought about it carefully, maybe there is some room for maneuver in this matter. These are the living two-tails and the two-tailed jinchūriki. They should at least gather some tailed beast chakra or something.
Leave it for research? Otherwise, wouldn't it really be a waste of resources? Of course, if you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to sample the tailed beast chakra without hurting the jinchūriki, but for someone who is proficient in the sealing technique and inherited his wife Jiu
For Minato Namikaze, who inherited the sealing technique scroll from Shinai's Uzumaki clan, the difficulty is actually not very high.
He did what he thought of. After returning home, Minato Namikaze said goodbye to Iori. After taking care of Naruto to sleep, he immediately dug out the scroll of the Uzumaki clan's secret technique and started reading it at night.
Namikaze Minato spent almost all night studying this. Although his body was sleepy and tired the next day, his spirit was somewhat excited.
Early in the morning, he summoned Liyin, the leader of Konoha's barrier class.
"Hokage-sama, I heard that you have an important task to give to the barrier class?"
Rione, as usual, was wearing a white trench coat and her hair tied into a neat ponytail. She was standing in the Hokage's office with a look of anticipation and excitement on her face.
Lord Hokage's active summons is something that is rare in a hundred years.
Seeing that Rine was still the same, Namikaze Minato coughed awkwardly and started to introduce the task directly: "To be precise, there is actually a highly confidential task that needs to be handed over to you, the leader of the barrier class, to help me complete it.
.”
"Before the mission begins, be sure to prepare the sealing altar of the Fire Temple..."
Liyin was stunned, and quickly said: "Hokage-sama, I have always been in charge of the sealing altar. If necessary, I can take it out at any time."
Namikaze Minato heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
Then without any further explanation, he stood up, hurriedly took off the white Hokage robe from the hanger nearby and put it on, and then walked quickly out the door: "Then, let's set off now!"
"As for the specific content of the mission, I will tell you on the way."
Rione nodded solemnly, first taking a peek at the handsome back of Minato Namikaze in a formal kage robe, and after a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly followed.
Along the way, the two of them avoided places with dense crowds and buildings, and soon came to a secret facility built underground.
At this time, Namikaze Minato had also informed Rione of his plan.
When she heard that Namikaze Minato actually wanted to extract a small part of the two-tailed jinchuriki's chakra from the two-tailed jinchuriki and seal it in the sealing altar of the Fire Temple, she was surprised and then confused.
She had heard of the Tailing Seal, which was an advanced ninjutsu that completely stripped away the tailed beasts and jinchūriki.
But to say that a small part of the tailed beast's chakra can be extracted from a jinchuriki without any damage? That is a bit beyond imagination. At least such ninjutsu methods are unheard of in the ninja world.
"Lord Hokage..."
"The Fourth Generation, you are here..."
Outside the ANBU's special confinement room, the two ANBU ninjas responsible for guarding the area immediately bowed and bowed when they saw Minato Namikaze arriving.
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly and asked with concern: "How is the current condition of Kumogakure's two-tailed jinchuriki? Is there anything abnormal?"
"I want to report to you, Hokage-sama, that the Jinchuuriki have been very calm so far, and the confinement effects of the curse and sealing techniques are very reliable."
One of the two ANBU captains respectfully reported to Namikaze Minato.
"Very good, good work."
After Minato Namikaze glanced at the two of them approvingly, he thought about it and immediately issued another order: "From now on, until the prisoner exchange begins, no one is allowed to enter here again."
After giving the instructions, Namikaze Minato took Liyin with him, and the two of them opened the first door outside the forbidden area.
The dark stairs lead to the underground. The core of the forbidden room is actually deeper underground. Rione behind him was a little surprised at first at how airtight the forbidden room was, but when he thought about the two-tailed jinchūriki being held inside,
I felt relieved.
Finally, after the two of them walked for nearly a minute, the door to the forbidden room at the deepest point of the underground stairs came into view.
By the dim candlelight on the wall, Namikaze Minato opened the unlocked iron door with force. As soon as he entered, he saw Yukito who was tied to the wall by iron chains and in an unconscious state.
It can be seen that Yukito's clothes are somewhat tattered due to the torture he received from Danzo's men, and there are still unhealed scars on many places on his body.
Liyin first looked at Yukito without any sympathy, and then took out the scroll.
With a loud bang, he took out the sealing altar directly from inside and placed it on the ground.
"Hokage-sama, please feel free to use the art of separation! I will stay absolutely quiet next to you and study hard."
After saying that, Rione's eyes were shining in anticipation of Namikaze Minato starting to take action.
However, Namikaze Minato was stunned after hearing this, and then said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, Rione, I'm afraid you need to take action to draw out the second tail chakra..."
"Wha...what? Let me do it?" Liyin was shocked, and suddenly looked confused and puzzled.
Naturally, Namikaze Minato knew that he was forcing someone into a difficult situation, and hurriedly explained: "I will teach you the method of extracting the tailed beast's chakra. With your talent and ability, you will be able to master it soon.
"
"So, don't worry, just go ahead and do it..."
However, despite Namikaze Minato's explanation, there was still confusion in Rine's eyes.
After much hesitation, she finally couldn't hold back and asked: "Hokage-sama, it's not that I don't have confidence, but it's a matter of life and death for the Jinchuuriki. If you do it yourself, you can absolutely guarantee that nothing will go wrong. Why do you have to subordinate me?"
How is it going?"
As soon as these words came out, Namikaze Minato's expression suddenly became embarrassed.
The way he was hesitating clearly meant that he had something to hide. This aroused Rione's curiosity even more. After repeated questioning, Namikaze Minato was tired of asking questions, so he had no choice but to give a vague explanation.
"Rione, Kumogakure's Jinchuuriki sealing style is an iron armor seal, which is different from the four elephant seals we use..."
"Hokage-sama, do you mean that Kumogakure's armor seal is special?"
Liyin obviously didn't understand immediately what Namikaze Minato meant by being special. In her opinion, no matter how special the iron armor seal was, it couldn't compare to the Four Symbols seal of the Uzumaki clan, so what was so special about it?
where?
Until, Liyin once again cast her eyes on Yukito, and caught a glimpse of the sealed corner exposed on the chest from the gap in the ragged clothes, and finally understood why Namikaze Minato insisted on letting her come.
Take action.
It turns out that the Iron Armor Seal has a different location from the Four Symbols Seal and Bagua Seal. Its sealing location is on the Jinchūriki's chest...
After understanding this, Liyin's pretty face turned slightly red in an instant.
