Chapter two hundred and eighty sixth man column force
"I think it's really okay for us to make a hasty decision on something like this that concerns the selection of the jinchuriki?"
Namikaze Minato said "I" for a long time before he managed to hold back a string of words from his mouth.
It seems that at this important moment of making a decision, Namikaze Minato remembered the fact that he was a Konoha ninja in time, and did not completely forget about the power classes such as the Third Hokage and the advisor elders in his mind.
"The three tails are my trophies, so I naturally have the right to dispose of them. This makes sense no matter how you put it."
"I will talk to anyone who is dissatisfied. You don't have to worry about such trivial matters."
After giving a blunt explanation, Lei Luo then straightened his face slightly and continued to ask in a neutral tone:
"Minato, don't think about anything else now, I just want to know..."
"Do you want the power of the three tails?"
"I……"
Facing Lei Luo's oppressive words and pressing questions, Namikaze Minato once again had a flash of hesitation on his face.
He didn't know if he wanted the power of the tailed beasts, and he didn't know if he could bear the responsibilities that would come with becoming a Jinchuriki.
Namikaze Minato only knew that he wanted power.
After all, who doesn't like power?
After personally experiencing the Battle of the Third Raikage and the Battle of the Three Tails, Namikaze Minato suddenly discovered that the scenery at the highest point in the world had unknowingly appeared before his eyes.
Simply, it's like opening the door to a new world.
Those ninjas and those battle scenes were powers far beyond the limits of his previous imagination. They were completely different dimensions from the ninja school's play-acting and the genin missions, which fascinated Namikaze Minato.
But because of this, Namikaze Minato became more aware of his own weakness, so he really sincerely wanted to become strong and didn't want to always stand behind Lei Luo.
After all, I have never heard of a Hokage who always stands behind his companions and accepts all results, good or bad, with peace of mind.
The Hokage should be the one standing in front of everyone, taking all the pressure on his shoulders, just like Rairo who was the first to rush towards the Third Raikage and the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki without hesitation.
Unlike the two salty fishes Nonou and Uzumaki Tomoki, and unlike Lei Luo and his group of careerists, Namikaze Minato seems to be somewhat out of place in this team, but this does not prevent him from having his own pursuits.
However, can becoming a Jinchuriki really help him achieve his goals? As a Jinchuriki, will his road to Hokage become more tortuous?
Namikaze Minato was thinking about it, and suddenly, at this moment...
From the ninja school until he left the village a while ago, the scenes he spent with Kushina Uzumaki flashed through Namikaze Minato's mind.
The words she had said to him, the pressure she was under, and the lonely expression that flashed across her face from time to time, all appeared in Namikaze Minato's heart at this moment, causing the confusion in his heart to gradually dissipate.
'You once said that I would never understand how you feel...'
'Now, let me try to understand.'
After finishing his thoughts, Namikaze Minato made a decision in his heart. He raised his head, looked at Lei Luo firmly and said:
"Senior Lei Luo, I am willing to accept the power of the Three-Tails and become the Three-Tails Jinchuuriki!"
Seeing this, Lei Luo nodded slowly, feeling secretly relieved:
Finally, someone is willing to accept it...otherwise, he really doesn't know how to deal with the three tails.
But why... Lei Luo suddenly felt that the power of the tailed beast was a bit cheap? There would be a day when he would be disliked by others?
"Okay, let's find a place to go through the process first, and then we can discuss the next action plan after Minato becomes a Jinchuuriki."
First he made a summary, and then seemed to suddenly think of something. Lei Luo looked at Hinata Tamaki and Orochimaru, thought for a few seconds, and then continued:
"By the way, Tamaki, Shiguro, you two form a team and go to the surroundings of the Country of Whirlpool to observe the situation and see how the war is going."
"If possible, I hope you two can find a way to contact the people of the Whirlpool clan."
"Of course, if the situation is too severe, I allow you to give up on this mission and wait until I pass."
The reason why such an order was issued was mainly because Lei Luo did not want to waste time.
It is necessary to confirm the situation in the Country of Uzumaki, but it is also important for Minato to become a Jinchuuriki.
Lei Luo was at a loss for what to do, but time was extremely tight. In this case, he could only choose to let his subordinates do it for him.
With Hinata Tamaki's Byakugan capable of ultra-wide-area perception, and Shiguro's more comprehensive insect secret technique, there shouldn't be much of a problem if the two of them are allowed to do reconnaissance missions.
"Okay, I understand."
Aburame Shiguro and Hyuga Tamaki responded to the order without hesitation, and after confirming the follow-up meeting place and contact information with Lei Luo, they left in a hurry.
Watching the two people's backs gradually disappear into the distance, Lei Luo glanced at the remaining people and said lightly:
"Let's go, we have to hurry up."
…
Lei Luo led Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato, Nonou and Uzumaki Tomoki around the battlefield, picked a random direction and got into a forest that had not yet been affected.
In the next few days, the forest near the original battlefield temporarily became their place of residence, so that they could deal with the mist ninja who came over for investigation.
Due to Uzumaki Tomoki's presence, the seal of the tailed beast was broken, so it was not difficult to extract the three-tailed Isobutsu from his body. The difficulty mainly focused on how to transfer the tailed beast into Namikaze Minato's body without risk.
In order to make the three tails "actively cooperate" in this process, Lei Luo released many fire dragon fire bombs into the sky, creating rainy weather and using space-based cannons to deter this big guy.
Perhaps because he had truly experienced the pain of the space-based cannon, Isofu did not show any intention to cause trouble. After being extracted from his body, he was sealed into Namikaze Minato by Uzumaki Tomoki with the Eight Trigrams Seal.
in vivo.
The process during this period was almost unbelievably smooth.
Whether it was extracting the tailed beast, transferring the tailed beast, or sealing the tailed beast, as well as Namikaze Minato's adaptability to the tailed beast's chakra, all these steps were completed in an orderly manner, without a single ripple in the middle.
Faced with this situation, Lei Luo could only sigh: Sanwei's temperament is really good, and he didn't go crazy despite being so kneaded by them. If Kyuubi had come here instead, it would have been a different result.
What Lei Luo and others didn't know was that if they looked at the problem from Isofu's perspective, this seemingly angry result was actually not a big deal.
They are all sealed anyway, so what difference does it make in whose body it stays?
Besides, Lei Luo is here, and the space-based cannon is so powerful that it can destroy its entire head in an instant...
No matter how dissatisfied Isofu is, he can still endure a little humiliation in order not to be beaten "all over the place", severely injured, or even dissipated.
After all, these tailed beasts have basically experienced this for so many years.
Thinking of Senju Hashirama back then, Isofu often sighed in his heart: Maybe this is the fate of their tailed beasts...
