Chapter 228 Grasp (for subscription)
The existence of tailed beasts is like a nuclear weapon to the ninja world and to each village. It is a weapon of war that is not easily used, and it is the last insurance for the safety of the village.
Its existence is a better choice than participating in the battlefield, and it is a better choice to put it in the rear to deter other forces.
Just like Tsuchikage and Raikage both came to the battlefield in person, and even made the determination to die, but they still didn’t use the tail beast, it’s the same,
Tailed beasts are the foundation of becoming a top force, which is a generally recognized fact in the ninja world.
As long as the village still has the Tailed Beast, the people in the village cooperate with the Jinchūriki who use the Tailed Beast's power to resist the intrusion of most external forces.
Therefore, the combat power of tailed beasts is of course extremely powerful, and almost every one has strength beyond the five shadows.
If it hadn't been for the suppression of the Nine Tailed Beasts by First Hokage back then, and the subsequent confinement of Jinchūriki by various villages with various sealing techniques, the existence of any one of the Tailed Beasts would be enough to cause a major change in the situation of the entire ninja world.
And similarly, a powerful tailed beast can also bring great changes to a person's life,
Even a person with mediocre ninja qualifications is likely to have extremely powerful combat power due to the assistance of the tailed beast.
"You want to be a Jinchūriki?"
Just after a tiring day, when Ryosuke came home, he saw Hinata carefully asking for his opinion.
"Here, this is the latest information from Konoha."
Hinata did not directly release Shikai, but first handed over a document, "The news that Cloud Shinobi Village and Iwagakure Tailed Beast were captured was finally revealed."
"Really……"
Taking the file casually, Ryosuke had no interest after glancing at it twice, which was something he expected a long time ago.
Regarding the secret capture of tailed beasts by the Akatsuki organization, it was finally exposed to the ninja world after the Seven Tails Jinchūriki of Taki Ninja Village was captured.
The Akatsuki organization moved quickly,
Seven Tails Jinchūriki of Takinobi Village is the fourth victim after Sunagakure's One Tail Jinchūriki, Cloud Shinobi Village's Two Tails Jinchūriki, and Iwakage Village's Five Tails Jinchūriki.
Although Taki no Hidden Village is also a ninja village, there is no powerful country behind it to support the development of the village. 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 why Taki Ninja Village survived the successive wars in the ninja world is because its unique geographical location is sufficiently hidden.
Akatsuki's Kakuzu is also from Takinobu Village, and he used to have a high status in this village. However, if the high-level personnel of the village once rebelled, the concealment of Takinobu Village will no longer be an advantage.
Even without the need for personnel from the Hyuga intelligence department to investigate and understand the surrounding area, the Akatsuki organization's capture of Seven Tails cannot be concealed at all.
In terms of news blocking ability, Taki Shinobi Village is completely inferior to Cloud Shinobi Village and Iwagakure, which also captured tail beasts, so this news was easily leaked.
And after the news that Seven Tails of Taki Ninja Village was captured by Akatsuki was spread,
The people of Cloud Shinobi Village and Iwagakure suddenly realized that it wasn't just their own tailed beasts that were caught.
First, Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure responded to the news, admitted that the tailed beast Jinchūriki in his village had also been captured, and publicly asked what happened in Taki Ninja Village, hoping to get the synchronization of information.
Afterwards, people from Cloud Shinobi Village and Sunagakure responded accordingly, and as victims together, they established a temporary relationship network and began to communicate with each other about how their Jinchūriki was captured.
And it was also at this time that the ninja world seemed to have discovered this low-key tiger, and it exploded one after another. Even without thinking about it, all forces can understand the purpose of the Akatsuki organization and where the next direction is.
The tailed beast is the target of the Akatsuki organization,
And the next direction is very likely to be controlled by the major forces, the remaining Jinchūriki.
"But what does this have to do with your desire to become a Jinchūriki?"
Rather than this, Ryosuke wanted to know why Hinata had such a thought in his heart.
"Our migration plan is currently only two-thirds in progress. 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 beast is beneficial, but it also has disadvantages. You don't need to make trouble for yourself."
He was referring, of course, to the fact that the power of the tailed beast was difficult to control.
"Judging from Ryosuke's connivance with the Akatsuki organization, you should have grasped the purpose of this organization, and even many follow-up actions, right?"
Hinata spoke calmly, as if she had thought about this question for a long time.
Based on her knowledge of Ryosuke and his performance on this incident from beginning to end, it is not difficult to guess this result.
"……really."
Regarding this point, Ryosuke did not hide it, nodded and admitted, "I am very clear about the purpose of the Akatsuki organization, so I didn't ask you to focus on them."
After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and said Kaidō: "Do you want me to find a way to help you catch a tailed beast after the plan is over?"
From Hinata's inquiry and tone, he sensed this possibility.
"I was just planning 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 again, "I am the future patriarch of Hyuga, am I not? Although as Ryosuke you said, as the patriarch, I may be protected by the family like my father in the future, and I don't even need to do it. fighting."
"As long as I make a good overall plan and make suggestions for the development of the family, I can become a qualified patriarch."
"But... in fact, there is still a difference between me and my father. My father's combat talent is not bad. Although he is busy with affairs and lacks in practice, it is not difficult to regain that combat power."
"And I'm a bit clumsy. If my combat power is needed under special circumstances, and I want to start practicing and regain the lost combat ability, it will definitely affect my own job arrangement."
"I want to take care of the family's affairs while ensuring my combat power. There is only a quick way for me to do so."
After a pause, she added, "Although it's a bit thick-skinned, I think as long as there is Ryosuke's deterrence, I may be able to control the power of the tail beast stably without being eroded like other Jinchūriki."
As for the more specific reason, Hinata did not say it.
In fact, after the family relocation plan started and she was about to leave Konoha, the former homeland, she thought about it for a long time,
For your own future, for your own existence, and for how to maintain your self-confidence.
The best way to solve the problem is of course to find similar reference answers, specifically refer to the people around you, the best goal is of course Ryosuke,
Hinata believes that Ryosuke's self-confidence stems from the basis of combat power, that is, if she also has strong combat power as a foundation, then maybe there will be no lack of confidence.
After all, all fear stems from insufficient firepower.
So she is no longer the same as before, naively thinking that it is enough to do a good job in civilian work and coordinate the whole family like a military adviser.
Hinata began to strive for a breakthrough in combat power, and was more mature than her former self.
She no longer requires herself to keep up with other people's footsteps. After all, things like talent are hard to make up for, and there are other things to do.
That being the case, why didn't she find some quick ways, such as family members who could help her, why didn't she try to ask for help?
"You do have an idea."
Seeing Hinata's eager eyes, Ryosuke couldn't help but smiled and stretched out his palm, pinching her cheek, "I see. Regarding your combat power, I will find a way to help you improve."
"At least, let you have the power to protect yourself."
For example, if the passage to Otherworld is really opened in the future, should I take them with me, or let them stay and use the ninja world as my base camp?
And if they stay, can their safety be guaranteed? Especially Hinata who is less interested in fighting.
It's not that Ryosuke didn't think about these issues 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 arrange it quietly.
But now, it's a good thing that Hinata offered to ask for his help.
She recognizes her status quo and has accepted it,
Start to learn to try various methods to improve, instead of supporting yourself alone.
In this way, it would be easier for him to make arrangements.
In this piece of ninja world, there are many ways for people to quickly become powerful, not to mention the existence of Devil Fruit.
After receiving Ryosuke's affirmative answer, Hinata nodded, thought for a while and said uneasy: "But you don't have to take my affairs too seriously, just help me pay attention when you have time, it's still your own affairs It's more important."
"Are you joking?"
Ryosuke, who was quite happy at first, became a little helpless, "You are my wife, how could I not care about your affairs."
"Can……"
Hinata wanted to say something more, but Ryosuke raised his arm and started walking into the house.
"I'm exhausted today, eat quickly, and go to bed early after eating."
He seemed to change the topic casually, "If you feel that you are afraid of affecting my practice time, then you can make up for me tonight and give me a full body massage to relax..."
"According to the current situation of mutual synchronization between countries, the Akatsuki organization has already grasped the existence of four tailed beasts."
"According to information, the members of their organization are Hidan who has an immortal body, Kakuzu who is a renegade from Takikure, Hoshigaki Kisame who is a renegade from Kirigakure, Uchiha Itachi from Konoha, and..."
"Although we have expected it before, our preparations are not perfect, and the comprehensive combat power of the Akatsuki organization is stronger than we imagined. Perhaps... we need to reach an agreement with other countries as soon as possible. On the matter of the Akatsuki organization , together with the outside world..."
But when the Hyuga clan seemed to be ignoring the outside world and Isshin insisted on moving the family, a major meeting about resisting the Akatsuki organization was held in the Hokage office in Konoha Village.
Sitting on the main seat is Konoha's Fifth Hokage Jiraiya,
Beside him, Hokage advisors Tsunade, Nara, and Utatane Koharu were seated respectively.
Then, except for the Hyuga clan, all the patriarchs of Konoha's families were present, and even Mitokado Homura, who had retired as a Hokage consultant, was called by Jiraiya to discuss this matter.
However, despite the emphasis, Konoha's side is not as flustered as other countries.
They had known about the strength of the Akatsuki organization for a long time, and they had a rough guess about their plot early in the morning.
"At present, among the five major countries, other forces except the country of water have issued invitations, and Konoha will organize a five-kage meeting to discuss and crusade against the existence of the Akatsuki organization."
Officially participating in this meeting as a military adviser, Lu Jiu spoke first after Jiraiya introduced the situation: "As the current leader of the five villages on the surface, we, Konoha, took over the organization of the meeting without hesitation."
"However, the country of water has always been in a closed state. Any country that wants to try diplomacy is blocked, and even all the spies who sneaked in are completely wiped out by Kirigakure."
"The last news about Water Country and Kirigakure is that during the Blood Mist operation a few years ago, many blood-succession boundary families in the country were cleaned up. Their regime seems to be very chaotic."
"So regarding the invitation to the Land of Water, it may be difficult to have a suitable result. Mizukage may be absent from this meeting."
And at this time, the patriarch of a small family raised his palm and asked suspiciously, "But... the kingdom of water should also have two tailed beasts in its hands, right? They shouldn't have a chance to stay out of it, right?"
There were many patriarchs of small families present who had similar questions.
And those big families like Inuzuka and Yamanaka already knew it in their hearts.
"In fact, according to our internal intelligence, the two tailed beasts controlled by Kirigakure have been out of control many years ago, and they are no longer within their control now."
Lu Jiu explained softly, "If Akatsuki really has the ability to sneak into the Land of Water without being discovered, they can capture the two tailed beasts without attracting Kirigakure's attention."
"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 showed horror.
The rampage of one tailed beast is already enough to cause a heavy loss to a Ninja Village. Is it possible that the Akatsuki organization has six tailed beasts in its hands now!
"Actually, I have expected this matter."
As Hokage, Jiraiya stood up at the right time to reassure people, "As long as the talks go smoothly, even if Kirigakure does not participate, our remaining four villages plus the assistance of other forces within the alliance, as well as the remaining three tailed beasts , we can completely fight against the existence of the Akatsuki organization, so you don’t have to worry too much, I am still very sure.”
