Chapter 228 Grasp (Subscribe)
The existence of tailed beasts is like a nuclear weapon for the ninja world and each village. It is a war weapon that is not used easily and is the last insurance for the safety of the village.
It is a better choice to place it in the rear to deter other forces than to participate in the battlefield.
Just like the Tsuchikage and Raikage went to the battlefield in person and even made up their minds to die, but still did not use the tailed beasts.
The tailed beasts are the foundation of becoming a top force, which is a fact generally recognized by the ninja world.
As long as the village still controls the tailed beasts, the people in the village can cooperate with the Jinchūriki who use the power of the tailed beasts to resist the invasion of most external forces.
Therefore, the combat power of the tailed beasts is of course extremely powerful, and almost every one of them has the strength beyond the five shadows.
If it were not for the first generation of Hokage who suppressed the nine tailed beasts, and then they were restricted in the body of the Jinchūriki by various villages with various sealing techniques, the existence of any tailed beast would be enough to cause a major change in the situation of the entire ninja world.
Similarly, a powerful tailed beast can also bring great changes to a person's life.
Even a mediocre ninja may have extremely powerful combat power with the help of a tailed beast.
"Do you want to become a Jinchūriki?"
After a tiring day, when Ryosuke returned home, he saw Hinata carefully asking for his opinion.
"Here, this is the latest information from Konoha."
Hinata did not start to explain directly, but handed over a document first, "The news that the tailed beasts of Kumogakure and Iwagakure have been captured has finally been revealed."
"Really..."
After taking the document casually, Ryosuke glanced at it and then lost interest. This was something he had expected a long time ago.
The secret capture of the tailed beast by the Akatsuki organization was finally exposed in the ninja world after the capture of the Seven-tailed Jinchūriki of Takigakure.
The Akatsuki organization acted quickly.
The Seven-tailed Jinchūriki of Takigakure is the fourth victim after the One-tailed Jinchūriki of Sandgakure, the Two-tailed Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, and the Five-tailed Jinchūriki of Iwagakure.
Although Takigakure is also a ninja village, there is no powerful country behind it to support its development. It is far inferior to other forces in terms of population and land area. It can only be regarded as a small country in the ninja world.
The only reason that Takigakure survived the wars in the ninja world is that its unique geographical location is hidden enough.
Kakuzu of Akatsuki also came from Takigakure and once had a high status in this village. If the former high-level personnel of the village rebelled, the concealment of Takigakure will no longer be an advantage.
There is no need for the personnel of the Hyuga intelligence department to conduct surrounding investigations and understanding. The movement of Akatsuki to capture the Seven-Tails cannot be concealed at all.
In terms of information blocking ability, Takigakure is completely inferior to the Cloud Village and Rock Village, which are also captured by the tailed beasts, so it is easy for this news to be leaked.
As the news of the capture of the Seven-Tails of Takigakure by Akatsuki spread,
The people of Kumogakure and Iwagakure suddenly realized that it was not only their own tailed beasts that were captured.
First, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure responded to the news, admitting that the tailed beast Jinchūriki in his village was also captured, and publicly asked Takigakure about the incident, hoping to get the same information.
Then, the people of Kumogakure and Sandgakure also responded, and as victims, they built a temporary network of relationships and began to communicate with each other about the capture of their own Jinchūriki.
And it was at this time that the ninja world seemed to have discovered this low-key tiger, and they all exploded. Even if the various forces did not have to think about it, they could understand the purpose of Akatsuki and the next direction.
The tailed beasts are the target of Akatsuki,
and the next direction is very likely to be the remaining Jinchūriki controlled by the major forces.
"But what does this have to do with your desire to become a Jinchūriki?"
Ryosuke wanted to know why Hinata had such an idea in her mind.
"Our migration plan has only been carried out for two-thirds of the time. Now that there is such a thing to help us divert our attention, shouldn't we take this opportunity to speed up the progress?"
"Also... the power of the tailed beasts has advantages, but also disadvantages. You don't need to make trouble for yourself."
Of course, he was referring to the fact that the power of the tailed beasts is difficult to control.
"From your indulgence of the Akatsuki organization, you should have already grasped the purpose of this organization and even many subsequent actions, right?"
Hinata spoke calmly, as if she had been thinking about this issue for a long time.
Based on her understanding of Ryosuke and his performance from beginning to end in this incident, it is not difficult to guess this result.
"...Indeed."
Ryosuke did not hide this point and nodded, "I know what the purpose of Akatsuki is, so I didn't ask you to focus on them."
After a pause, he seemed to think of something and replied, "Do you want me to find a way to help you catch a tailed beast after the plan is over?"
From Hinata's question and tone, he sensed this possibility.
"I was just going to ask, but now it seems that you have already made plans."
Hinata's eyes lit up, "Yes, I want a tailed beast."
Then, she explained her reasons, "I am the future leader of the Hyuga clan, right? Although as you said, as the clan leader in the future, I may be protected by the family like my father, and I don't even need to fight."
"As long as I make a good overall plan and make suggestions for the development of the family, I can become a qualified clan leader."
"But... In fact, there is a difference between me and my father. My father's fighting talent is not bad. Although he is busy with affairs and lacks in practice, But it is not difficult to pick up that fighting power again. "
"And I am a little clumsy. If my fighting power is needed under special circumstances, and I want to start training and pick up the fighting ability I once lost, it will inevitably affect my own job arrangement."
"I want to ensure my fighting power while taking care of the family's affairs at the same time. The only quick way is the tailed beast."
After a pause, she added, "Although it is a bit shameless, I think as long as there is the deterrent power of Ryosuke, I may be able to control the power of the tailed beast very stably, and will not be eroded like other people. "
As for the more specific reasons, Hinata did not say it.
In fact, after the family migration plan began and was about to leave Konoha, the former home, she thought for a long time,
about her future, about her existence, and how to maintain her confidence.
The best way to solve the problem is of course to find similar reference answers, specifically refer to the people around you, and the best target is of course Ryosuke.
Hinata believes that Ryosuke's confidence comes from the foundation of combat power, that is, if she also has a strong combat power as a basis, then perhaps there will be no lack of confidence.
After all, all fears come from insufficient firepower.
So she is no longer naive like before, thinking that as long as she does a good job in civilian work like a military advisor and coordinates the entire family, it is enough.
Hinata began to strive for a breakthrough in combat power and is more mature than she used to be.
She no longer demands herself, and must keep up with the pace of others down to earth. After all, talent is something that is difficult to make up for, and there are other things to do.
In this case, why doesn't she find some quick ways, such as family members around her who can help her, why not try to ask for help?
"You have a lot of ideas."
Looking at Hinata's eager look, Ryosuke couldn't help but smile and stretched out his palm, pinching her cheek, "I know, I will find a way to help you improve your combat power."
"At least, let you have the power to protect yourself."
For example, if the passage to the other world is really opened in the future, should I take them with me, or let them stay and use the ninja world as their base camp?
And if they stay, can their safety be guaranteed? Especially Hinata, who is not interested in fighting.
Ryosuke had thought about these problems before, but because of the stubborn impression Hinata left on him when he was a child, he didn't mention this matter and planned to make arrangements quietly.
But now it's good that Hinata took the initiative to mention that she wanted his help, which is a good thing.
She recognized her current situation and accepted it, and began to learn to try various methods to improve it, instead of supporting it alone.
In this way, it is easier for him to make arrangements.
In this ninja world, there are many ways to quickly gain powerful strength, not to mention the existence of devil fruits.
After getting Ryosuke's affirmative answer, Hinata nodded, thought about it and said worriedly: "But you don't have to take my affairs too seriously. Just help me keep an eye on them when you are free. Your own affairs are more important."
"Are you kidding?"
Ryosuke, who was originally quite happy, looked a little helpless, "You are my wife, how can I not take your affairs to heart."
"But..."
Hinata wanted to say something, but Ryosuke had already pulled her arm and started to walk into the house.
"I'm so tired today, let's eat quickly and go to bed early after dinner."
He changed the subject casually, "If you are afraid that it will affect my practice time, then you can compensate me more tonight and give me a full body massage to relax..."
"According to the current situation of synchronization between countries, the Akatsuki organization has already mastered the existence of four tailed beasts."
"And according to the information revealed, the members of their organization are the immortal Hidan, the Takigakure renegade Kakuzu, the Mist Village renegade Hoshigaki Kisame, our Konoha Uchiha Itachi, and..."
"Although we had anticipated this, our preparations were not perfect, and the comprehensive combat power of the Akatsuki organization was stronger than we thought. Perhaps... we need to reach an agreement with other countries as soon as possible, and jointly face the Akatsuki organization..."
Just when the Hyuga clan seemed to be oblivious to the outside world and focused on the family migration, a major meeting on resisting the Akatsuki organization was held in the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.
Sitting in the main seat was Jiraiya, the fifth generation Hokage of Konoha.
Beside him, Tsunade, Nara Shikaku, and Utatane Koharu, the Hokage advisors, sat down respectively.
Afterwards, except for the Hyuga clan, all the heads of Konoha's families were present, and even Mitomon En, who had resigned as the Hokage advisor, was called by Jiraiya to discuss this matter.
However, although it was taken seriously, Konoha was not as panicked as other countries.
They had long known about the strength of the Akatsuki organization, and had a rough guess about their plot.
"Among the five major countries, except for the Land of Water, other forces have already sent invitations. Konoha will organize a Five Kage meeting to discuss and attack the existence of Akatsuki."
Officially participating in this meeting as a military advisor, Shikaku spoke first after Jiraiya introduced the situation: "As the head of the five villages in the open, we Konoha will take the responsibility of organizing the meeting."
"However, the Land of Water has been in a closed state. Any country that wants to try diplomacy is blocked from entering, and even all the spies who sneaked in were completely cleared out by the Hidden Mist Village."
" The last news about the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village was during the Blood Mist Operation a few years ago. Many bloodline families in the country were cleared out, and their political power seemed to be in chaos. "
"So it may be difficult to get a suitable result regarding the invitation from the Land of Water, and the Mizukage may be absent from this meeting."
At this time, the head of a small family raised his hand and asked in confusion, "But... the Land of Water should also have two tailed beasts in its hands, right? They should not have a chance to stay out of it, right?"
Many heads of small families present had similar questions.
And those big families such as Inuzuka and Yamanaka had already understood it in their hearts.
"In fact, according to our internal intelligence, the two tailed beasts controlled by the Hidden Mist Village have been out of control many years ago, and are no longer under their control."
Shikaku explained softly, "If the Akatsuki organization really has the ability to sneak into the Land of Water without being discovered, they can capture the two tailed beasts without attracting the attention of the Hidden Mist Village."
"That is to say, the number of tailed beasts currently controlled by the Akatsuki organization may be four or six!"
"Six?!"
Many people at the conference table were horrified.
The rampage of a tailed beast is enough to cause heavy losses to a ninja village. Now the Akatsuki organization may have six tailed beasts in its hands!
"In fact, I have expected this."
As the Hokage, Jiraiya stood up at the right time to calm people's hearts, "As long as the talks go smoothly, even if the Hidden Mist Village does not participate, our remaining four villages, plus the assistance of other forces within the alliance, and the remaining three tailed beasts, we can completely resist the existence of the Akatsuki organization, so you don't have to worry too much, I am still very confident."
