Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 616: Dark Clouds Rising
In the eyes of the tailed beasts, Lu Chen is a terrifying existence that can kill the mother of the Six Paths Sage. It would be bad if he thinks that these existences are the source of trouble for peace and want to kill him. Although the tailed beasts can indeed be resurrected, being killed will still make them feel uneasy.

Lu Chen understood that the tailed beasts might have misunderstood his meaning, so he thought of shrinking all the tailed beasts to limit their power. After all, losing their huge size would affect the amount of chakra in the tailed beasts.

"I can shrink you so that you won't be useful as weapons of war. This way, you won't affect the rest of the village."

In response to this suggestion, Ichimi said, "Our size doesn't affect our strength."

Jiuwei also nodded and said to Lu Chen: "Even after I become smaller, I can still share my original power with you."

They are actually an aggregation of chakra, so the external size is just a manifestation.

Lu Chen offered a suggestion: "Then I can make you smaller so you can hide easily, or I can seal your power."

Instead, Nagato said decisively, "I will protect the safety of the tailed beasts. This is what I promised the Sage of Six Paths. So, Master Lu Chen, you don't have to worry about this anymore."

As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from him, revealing the full power of the Rinnegan. The power that the Sage of Six Paths had shared with him had made Nagato even more powerful.

Minato looked at the child of prophecy that his teacher firmly believed in. Has he now reached the point where he can influence the situation in the ninja world?

Except for the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Seven-Tailed Fox who signed a contract with Lu Chen and will leave this world with him, the other tailed beasts are willing to share their power with Nagato because of the Six Paths Sage's appreciation of Nagato.

Minato looked at the situation and said, "I will help you conceal the fact that you took the tailed beast away, but you need to promise me that you will not use the power of the tailed beast to destroy the peace."

He didn't know what had happened before, but if the tailed beasts could become smaller and hidden, then this situation would be acceptable to Konoha. At least the relationship between Yuyin and Konoha was relatively close.

A strong fighting force can influence a country, and it is obvious that Lu Chen is such an existence. And he now seems to be leaning towards Yuyin.

The humans reached an agreement, but a different opinion emerged among the tailed beasts.

The Eight-Tails didn't actually want to follow Nagato; it actually quite liked Killer Bee. And with its special abilities, Killer Bee was the only living Jinchūriki. Kushina certainly didn't count.

So it asked the others for their opinions, saying, "Can I act on my own? I can promise not to disrupt the peace with my own strength."

Nagato had no intention of restricting the free movement of the tailed beasts: "What are you going to do?"

The Eight-Tails said without hiding anything: "My previous Jinchuriki was a very good guy, so I plan to go back to find him."

Minato immediately refused, "No!"

Then he explained the reason to the others: "If the Eight-Tails returns, then Kumogakure will definitely know that the tailed beasts are out of control. They will definitely use force to snatch the tailed beasts, and then peace will no longer exist."

Nagato also agreed with Minato's words, so he said to the Eight-Tails: "I'm sorry that I can't let you go back. You can move freely in Yugakure."

Looking at Lu Chen, who was watching closely, the Eight-Tails didn't insist any longer. Forget it, he decided to follow the boy chosen by the Six Paths Sage. He didn't discriminate against the Tailed Beasts. Perhaps humans would live in peace in the future.

The rest of the tailed beasts have no feelings towards the village where they used to live, and they don't have much affection for humans.

So Lu Chen used his ability to shrink the remaining seven tailed beasts, and then they hid inside Nagato's clothes. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that Nagato was carrying seven tailed beasts with him.

Seeing the somewhat disharmonious atmosphere, Lu Chen took the initiative to invite them and said, "I usually celebrate after defeating a powerful enemy. Do you want to have a drink with me?"

Nagato agreed and said, "I have nothing to do right now, so let me treat Lord Lu Chen to a drink."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I have a lot of people here, so let me treat you."

Minato had wanted to go along, but his status meant he had to immediately appease the villagers who had regained consciousness from the genjutsu. Furthermore, the Chunin Exams were already underway. The situation was a complete mess.

So he politely declined and said, "If you guys haven't finished by the time I'm done, please save me a drink."

At this time, Minato's guards finally arrived, among them was Uchiha Itachi, whom he respected very much. This ninja who could always look at problems from the perspective of the village was highly valued by Minato.

So Minato said, "Since you're going to save a drink for me, let me pay for it. Itachi, you go have a drink with the adults."

It was not impolite for the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan to accompany the envoy from the Hidden Rain Village, and Itachi still remembered how close Lu Chen was to Uchiha Madara when he sealed him.

Itachi looked at the several important people in front of him and nodded and said, "Excuse me, but please follow me back to Konoha."

Minato was about to use Flying Thunder God to bring everyone back to Konoha one by one, so he said, "Let me take everyone back to Konoha first."

Lu Chen really wanted to experience Flying Thunder God, and nodded repeatedly and said, "Then take me with you to experience it."

Minato and his men quickly shuttled back and forth a few times before leaving to deal with the immediate emergency. Lu Chen then learned Flying Thunder God. After consuming the Chakra Fruit, he possessed a powerful ability to learn ninjutsu. He learned these ninjutsu at a glance.

Sitting in the tavern, Lu Ziyun was very dissatisfied with himself for not coming out to fight with the strong recently. Now Lu Chen actually didn't need the help of people like him.

So he set his sights on V. He decisively challenged him to a fight and said, "V, do you want to fight me?"

Of course, V wouldn't refuse this request, so he agreed: "Of course, I also want to fight against the strong."

Itachi was also surprised that Lu Chen used summoning magic to call out several people, and Musashi tried to challenge Uchiha Itachi to a fight.

This group of people are all restless.

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke rose, and a summoned beast appeared in front of Nagato and said anxiously, "Nagato-sama, Lord Yahiko asked me to inform you. The Wind Country has sent a large ninja force to invade the Hidden Rain Village."

After hearing the news, Nagato stood up suddenly.

War broke out.
