Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 118: Kazuma: The Hokage left, the assistant took power, and then I came, such a familiar scene

"Minato, be careful."

"Don't worry, Jiraiya-sensei and Yakumaru will follow me."

At the door of Minato's house, Kushina held the door frame and said goodbye to Minato.

In three days, it will be the Five Kage Tournament, and Minato will go to the Rain Country today.

Just as Minato smiled and tried to comfort her, Kushina suddenly covered her stomach, which scared Minato, "Kushina, what's wrong?"

"It's the Nine-Tailed Fox again, but it doesn't matter, it's just a little agitated." A drop of cold sweat appeared on Kushina's face and she forced a smile.

Minato looked distressed and hugged her gently, "You need to be extra careful when giving birth. The Kyuubi will not miss this opportunity and try to break the seal."

"Uh... I don't think it wants to break the seal, it's just simply angry." Kushina slowed down and said with a strange expression.

Recently, the Nine-Tailed Fox has been showing an irritable expression from time to time. Did anyone provoke it?
She didn't bully it after she got pregnant...

In the sealed space, Nine-Tails, through Kushina's perspective, looked at the small beetles that flashed by somewhere and the small slugs on the tree, grinning.

Are you showing off?
Nanabi, Vulpix, you two bastards, if you want to laugh at me, just say it.

But I am different from you. I will not submit to humans like you and create this inexplicable clone to enjoy freedom!

"What is Kuroko doing?"

The Seven-Tails clone and the Six-Tails clone leaned against each other, spying on the interaction between Minato and Kushina, and seeing a flash of the Nine-Tails' aura on Kushina, the Seven-Tails became confused.

"I don't know. Maybe he wants to take advantage of the Jinchuriki's pregnancy to break the seal?"

"It's impossible, right? The Uzumaki clan is the descendant of Mr. Six Paths. They are quite powerful, and their sealing technique is the best in the ninja world. Kurama can't break the seal. The previous Jinchūriki didn't do it."

"Not necessarily. After the previous Jinchuriki sealed it, she didn't get pregnant, right?"

"That's true. I can feel that some of Kurama's chakra seems to have flowed into that child's body."

Nanao's eyes lit up, "In that case, does that child count as Kurama's child?"

"Kurouma's child?" Vulpix muttered to himself, his eyes also brightening, "Maybe."

After all, the tailed beasts are life forms composed of chakra. That child inherited part of the Nine-Tails' chakra before he was born. If not its child, then who else could he be?
The seven-tailed monster laughed and said, "What do you think Kurama's child will look like?"

"It would have a beard, but it would still look human."

Vulpix and Nanabi chatted about Kyuubi's gossip in front of it.

Although the Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't hear it, it thought the two beasts were showing off and its temper became even more violent.

And then…Kushina reinforced the seal and gave him a severe beating.

Minato confirmed that Kushina was really fine before leaving with peace of mind.

All government affairs have been handed over to Hinata Yu to handle. He only needs to bring peace to the ninja world in this negotiation and does not need to worry about what will happen after he dies.

……

"Has Minato left the village? It looks like this gust of wind will end here."

At the Root Base, Orochimaru heard that Minato took Jiraiya and Yamaru to bid farewell to the village's high-ranking officials and headed towards the Land of Rain. He licked his lips and looked at the ninjas around him, "Get ready to leave."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

Several Root ninjas retreated upon receiving the order.

After they left, Orochimaru looked at the figure walking out of the corner and said with interest: "What a rare guest! I didn't find you, but you came to my door on your own."

The figure in the corner said in a deep voice: "Orochimaru, I have something to entrust you with."

"what?"

"It's related to the fourth generation..."

After seeing Minato off and returning to the Hokage's office, Hinata Yu sat in the Hokage's seat, looked at the various documents in front of him, and turned his gaze behind him. Ye Cang came to his side quietly.

"You are the third one here."

Ye Cang was stunned, then he lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "I think the Lord should give me an order."

“Just do what you want to do.”

"Yes!"

Ye Cang showed a smile on his face and took his leave.

Shortly after Ye Cang left, a somewhat thin figure came silently in front of Hinata Yu.

"Assistant Yu, the daimyo has invited you to go to the daimyo's mansion in three days." He Ma looked at Hinata Yu with a strange expression and handed him the letter.

He still remembered his last visit to Konoha.

That time, after the Hokage left the village, he came to see the Hokage to assist Danzo and handed over the Daimyo's letter of appointment to him, allowing him to stand at the top of Konoha's power.

This time, the Hokage also left the village, and he also came to see the Hokage to assist and convey the Daimyo's orders to the other party. Strictly speaking, Hinata Yu's power is not much less than Danzo's.

It's really... a familiar scene.

But they are different, right?

He clearly remembered that Hinata Yu cooperated with Uchiha Fugaku to squeeze him.

The other party should be on the side of the Hokage, why would the Daimyo be in contact with him?
No, that's not right.

He Ma suddenly remembered something.

Who is the liaison between Konoha and the Fire Country Daimyo now?

It's Hinata Yu!
The appointment letter that was once given to Danzo gave Hinata Yu the power to coordinate funding between Konoha and the Fire Country. Isn't it natural for Hinata Yu to have a connection with the Daimyo of the Fire Country?
Thinking of the daimyo who had become exceptionally smart in recent times, Kazuma swallowed and watched Hinata Yu read the order cautiously.

He thought of a strange thing.

That day, the daimyo was very happy to learn that Hinata Yu had destroyed the isolated island and praised Hinata Yu.

I'm glad he understood. After all, this way, the Hokage and Konoha would fall into the trap.

What can you praise Hinata Yu for?
The Fire Country Daimyo doesn't have the habit of praising his enemies!
While He Ma was thinking terribly, Hinata Yu finished reading the letter and chuckled, "I received it. I will go there in three days."

"Yes, I'll take my leave!"

When Hinata Yu put the letter on the table, Kazuma broke out in sweat after glancing at the contents and hurriedly left.

"Thank you for inducing Shikaku to suppress the small ninjas and civilian ninjas, forcing the Kazekage and the Daimyo of the Wind Country to cooperate with me and offer the strategy of isolating the island. The methods of the people you recommended, such as Yuya Shiro, are also quite good. I really want to see your demeanor up close, so I would like to invite..."

Everything that has happened recently has been connected.

Some people in Konoha called on Minato to become the Daimyo, but when the Daimyo of the Land of Fire found out, he just laughed it off.

The Daimyo of the Wind Country came to discuss with the Daimyo of the Fire Country about suppressing Konoha, but he saw that the latter had a meaningful look in his eyes.

Regarding the matter of the isolated island, the daimyo's wisdom far exceeded that of any previous attempt.

……

There are too many things, and strictly speaking, these things are all beneficial to the daimyo. But the daimyo himself basically did nothing, but enjoyed all kinds of benefits. Why did he not discover it until now?
These are all bargaining chips between Hinata Yu and the Daimyo!

What did Hinata Yu gain?
I can't figure it out with Ma.
