Konoha: Starting with Kisara, I've conquered the Naruto world.

Chapter 12 The Hokage Position, Nurturing the Three-Tails

Back in the Hokage's office, Minamoto Takuno still hadn't made a decision, intending to take it one step at a time, perhaps knowing in time whether or not he should save the couple who had caused so many Naruto fans to sigh with regret.

He gave a brief report on the mission, since he hadn't seen much. The real report should have been given by Kakashi Hatake after he woke up.

"I see. So you still couldn't keep Nohara Rin?" The Third Hokage sighed.

He felt saddened by the deaths of his villagers, but more than that, he was worried. He was well aware of Kakashi Hatake's experiences.

The initial intention of handing him over to Minato Namikaze was to save this genius, but now it seems the situation may have become even more serious...

If Kakashi Hatake were to be crippled because of something like this, it would be a huge loss for the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his cigarette, his head aching, the white smoke obscuring his expression.

This is really a headache. At the moment, it seems that we can only believe that Minato Namikaze can save them.

"I understand the process now. The mission... is complete. Your reward will be based on the standard for an A-rank mission. Now you won't have to go and accept missions so late, right?" The Third Hokage made a joke of himself amidst the hardship.

This kind of task, which belongs only to the village, naturally requires the village's financial expenditure.

"Yes." Yuan Tuoye nodded. He was currently in a position where he could choose to go on the mission or not.

Currently, he still has many things to study, such as the Kagura Mind's Eye, a sensory ninjutsu of the Uzumaki bloodline, and the learning of lightning and wind style ninjutsu should also be put on the agenda. There are still many things he can do.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to fuse with the second bloodline.

"Well then, Lord Hokage, it's getting late, I'll head back now. Lord Hokage, please get some rest too," said Gen Takuno. He hadn't arrived at the Hokage's office early to begin with, and then this unexpected turn of events occurred.

So the Third Hokage didn't rest either, and it's already quite late at night now.

"Hehe, okay, you can go back now," the Third Hokage said gently.

After Minamoto no Takuya left, the Third Hokage sighed deeply. With no one around, his face finally showed signs of exhaustion, as if many things had already exceeded his control.

This left him feeling exhausted, and he wondered if it was time to hand over the position to the next generation.

As he pondered this, he seemed to see two different figures in his gaze.

One was his disciple Orochimaru, who was cold and sinister, inspiring fear and making people afraid to approach him.

The other path is to his grand-disciple Minato Namikaze, who is always full of sunshine, has good interpersonal relationships, good reputation, and strong abilities.

Comparing the two in his mind, the Third Hokage slowly made his choice.

If it weren't for Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru might have been the only option, since the few qualified ones were all his students.

However, neither Tsunade nor Jiraiya were interested in the position. Tsunade also suffered from hemophobia, a psychological illness that is extremely deadly for medical ninjas. Jiraiya, on the other hand, was used to being a prodigal son and had no desire to be bound by the position of Hokage.

Therefore, even if Orochimaru was unsuitable, he would still have to choose Minato Namikaze if it weren't for him. He couldn't possibly choose Danzo Shimura, could he? Danzo wasn't any younger than him!

However, everything changed with Minato Namikaze. Compared to Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze had almost all the advantages and none of Orochimaru's disadvantages!

"Let's wait until the war is completely over," the Third Hokage decided.

…………

On the other side, Gen Takuno felt the Three-Tails' chakra within his body. At this moment, he could not be considered a Jinchūriki, and he did not have the Three-Tails within him, only a portion of the Three-Tails' chakra.

At this moment, he began to mobilize his chakra, surging it into the seal.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to cultivate the Three-Tails' chakra. Although he had collected quite a bit of Three-Tails' chakra, it was still not enough compared to the chakra of the Three-Tails in its complete form.

This involves the question of how to cultivate the chakra of the tailed beasts, which is not too difficult to solve.

In the original story, the Nine-Tails chakra within the hollow body was cultivated by his father and Ma from a leak of Nine-Tails chakra until it was strong enough to unleash six tails.

Of course, although he continued to go berserk afterward and was eventually persuaded by Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, Minamoto Takuno probably only had a seventh tail at most, and maybe six was already the limit.

Besides Sora, Orochimaru also cultivated a giant Eight-Tails horn using fragments of the Eight-Tails' horn.

Therefore, it is definitely possible to cultivate tailed beast chakra.

This matter was not particularly difficult, and it was quite easy for Gen Takuno to figure it out. He was not like Kazuma; his mastery of sealing techniques was far superior to Kazuma's.

He won't gain an extra monster's hand, nor will he go berserk.

It should be said that Kong wouldn't go berserk for no reason; his berserk behavior was the result of his father's deliberate guidance.

However, having the Tailed Beast's chakra sealed within his body for so long is not a good thing, especially since cultivating too much of it is not a good thing. Therefore, it is natural to need to find a suitable storage medium.

Gen Takuno's gaze drifted into the distance, towards the Land of Rain.

Jiraiya's three disciples were there. He originally thought that if he acquired the Oni-Garara Technique first, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the events that were about to happen.

However, it seems that Danzo Shimura has not yet joined forces with Hanzo the Demigod to frame the Akatsuki, so there is still time.

Unfortunately, Gen Takuno didn't know much about the situation there. He did manage to find traces of the Akatsuki organization using crows, but...

Nagato's Rinnegan, even if acquired later in life, wasn't obtained for nothing. His crows were discovered by the other party, and the outcome was predictable.

Therefore, it is not so easy for him to use crows to monitor the Akatsuki's movements now.

In addition, Shimura Danzo and the demigod Hanzo are not easy to monitor. Sending the crow once is fine, but if it happens too often or for too long, it will almost certainly be discovered.

Not everyone is as rough and weak as Hiruko.

That makes sense, though. If Hiruko weren't weak, he wouldn't have developed the Oni-Garaku technique in order to become stronger.

As for Shimura Danzo, you can say he's bad, but you can't say he's bad.

The fact that the Wind Release technique was able to beat the overpowered Uchiha Sasuke so badly, and that the Wind Release technique could cut through Susanoo, even though it wasn't a high-level Susanoo, meant that before this, who could have imagined that the Wind Release technique could cut through Susanoo?

Moreover, if Uchiha Sasuke had no allies, he might have actually succeeded.

Then there's Hanzo, who can be called a demigod. His reputation is well-deserved, and his abilities should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Takuno could only monitor the movements of the Amegakure. When they proposed to hold talks with the Akatsuki, that would be when he went to Amegakure.

As for his purpose? The Rinnegan is out of the question, but... he could take some of the other things!
