Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 572 Minato's Concession

Minato began to think about how to deal with the upcoming troubles. After all, the tailed beasts of other villages have been taken away. Then Konoha's tailed beasts will definitely not be spared.

Especially since Minato had often fought against the Raikage and Killer Bee during the war, he knew that they were both as strong as him. So, he shouldn't be able to stop that suspicious enemy.

Although he didn't know who was looking for the tailed beast, he was sure that he would come to Konoha soon.

Although it is a bit unfair to trade the Nine-Tailed Fox to Lu Chen now, Minato has reasons to do it from the perspective of protecting his wife.

After a long silence, Minato said, "Do you know who did this?"

The Anbu shook his head and glanced at Lu Chen. He had his own guesses, but as an Anbu, he would not easily express his opinions.

"I don't know. I only know that he is a man with abnormal eyes. His ability seems to be able to make objects bigger or smaller."

The spies sent out by Konoha did see some intelligence. At least Isshiki's special ability, Shao Ming Bikuna, had been discovered by this group of people.

This ability looked very similar to Lu Chen's, and Minato certainly believed that Lu Chen hadn't done it. However, he had a suspicion that Lu Chen might be of the same race as the people who attacked the other hidden villages. They were all aliens, and their goal was to obtain the tailed beasts.

Perhaps the two individuals held different philosophies. Just like how different ninja villages each had their own philosophies, even people within the same village had their own goals.

This speculation allowed everyone who knew about the existence of Yishi and Lu Chen to make such a guess. In fact, Zilai had speculated about this before. Of course, his point was to win over Lu Chen, the alien.

Minato nodded and said, "I understand. Please step back."

The Anbu ninja jumped out after receiving the order, as agile as he had been when he came here.

Minato took a deep breath and walked towards Lu Chen and V. He said in a tone of pretending to be calm, "Perhaps you don't know the latest information yet. The tailed beasts of other villages have been taken away by a certain existence."

V really didn't know, but Lu Chen knew all this through the conversation between him and the Anbu, and Lu Chen had also fought with this person before.

Therefore, Lu Chen said nonchalantly: "So are you willing to hand over the tailed beast to me now? I can protect this tailed beast."

The Nine-Tails struggled and expressed its resistance: "I am not a useless weakling like the other tailed beasts. As the tailed beast with the largest tail, I am much stronger than them."

Minato ignored Kyuubi's opinion and said, "What's your purpose in capturing tailed beasts everywhere?"

He must know this, otherwise he would not be able to show what he is doing now even for the village.

Lu Chen was fully aware of this question and nodded, saying, "The others' goal is probably to revive the Ten-Tails and plant the Sacred Tree. My goal is simpler: I simply want to possess a tailed beast." Minato didn't say whether he believed this or not, but he believed it deep down. After all, if Lu Chen truly wanted to obtain a tailed beast, he wouldn't have needed to return to Konoha with it. Judging by the previous battle, it was unlikely that Konoha's people would pose any threat to Lu Chen.

"You don't seem afraid of that strange enemy?"

Although this might make Lu Chen feel rude, after all, Lu Chen and that strange enemy might be of the same race. And this had doubts about Lu Chen's strength, but Minato still asked this question.

"I've fought him before, haven't I? Isn't Jiraiya also trying to find a way to fight him? Your junior fellow apprentice looks like the target of possession. Jigen will be coming to Konoha soon."

Minato felt a sense of urgency. Konoha Village had just been attacked by the Moon Man and Uchiha Madara. If they were attacked again by Jigen, the village would suffer heavy losses. After all, these two consecutive attacks had already made many Konoha villagers fearful.

Minato thought that it was acceptable to give up the Nine-Tails in front of the impending enemy. As long as Lu Chen gave enough bargaining chips, he could make the decision to trade the tailed beast.

"Since you want the Nine-Tails, what will you offer in exchange? And how can my wife safely strip the tailed beast?"

Lu Chen had no idea how to safely remove the tailed beast. His plan was to completely sever the connection between the tailed beast and Kushina. Then, he could use resurrection magic to revive Kushina, or use magic that automatically resurrects upon death to prevent her from dying. Lu Chen had obtained several such scrolls in the Overlord world.

"I can give you a devil fruit. As for how to help your wife survive the danger of her life when the tailed beast is stripped away, I have prepared a plan to keep her alive when she is under a fatal threat."

Minato continued to ask, "How exactly do you do that?"

He learned what method Lu Daochen wanted to use to free his wife from the threat of death.

Lu Chen took out a magic scroll, on which was recorded the mercy of the magical twin sala trees. This was something he had found in the Elf King's treasury before.

Then he said, "This scroll contains a magic that can avert death. Use it and then peel off the tailed beast to save your wife from death."

Minato didn't know whether he should believe what Lu Chen said. After all, he had never seen this so-called magic before. And his wife would need to use her own life to bear this possible fatal danger.

Although Minato was somewhat tempted, he did not agree immediately: "I need to think about it."

Everyone was shocked by the new moon in the sky. It was impossible for the newly formed star not to
After looking at the newly floating moon, Jigen realized that there must be a very powerful ninja. That person would become an obstacle for him to collect the tailed beasts.

He had witnessed the first moonrise, and after that, concealing his identity, he had observed the Sage of Six Paths from afar. He knew the Sage's power was too great to resist, so Isshiki hadn't taken any action in the first few years of his occupation of Jigen's body. He waited for Kaguya's backup plans to completely disappear before proceeding with his plan.

For him, who was nearly immortal, time was not something worth worrying about. If he waited, he would naturally have time to kill all these powerful people.
