Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Regardless of his style, Nine-Tails couldn't sense a trace of malice from Qing Shui.

"Humph…"

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted coldly and cautiously extended its paw towards Qing Shui.

The hands of the human and the fox clasped together.

The first chapter is 4,000 words!

There will be a second update...

My sleep schedule has been a bit erratic lately. I had insomnia until after 3 a.m. today and couldn't fall asleep until then. I felt groggy all day at work.

Is melatonin effective?

Can any knowledgeable guys give me some pointers? OR2!

Chapter 142 Nine-Tails Chakra, the Ninjas Returning to Report

Kushina stared blankly at the obedient Nine-Tails.

Could this dangerous entity, shrouded in malice, possibly be capable of communication?

Qingshui touched the nine-tailed fox's claws.

I must say, this fox's fur is actually quite smooth...

Not only is its fur smooth and it's a beautiful fox, but it also seems to have a very soft heart.

[From your lane target, Nine-Tails: You have gained a small amount of Nine-Tails chakra!]

Qing Shui didn't feel like he had done anything wrong; he simply bumped fists with the Nine-Tails, who generously sent a portion of its chakra into his body.

Tobirama Senju, who had been silently observing the scene, sighed.

Here we go again, another new guest has entered Qing Shui's body, even the Nine-Tails has joined in...

If the Sage of Six Paths were to enter Qingshui's body one day, even Tobirama Senju said he probably wouldn't be too surprised.

"Come on, show your strength..."

The Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes, and a surge of violent, crimson tailed beast chakra erupted, flowing out like a tidal wave through the gap in the seal!

Kushina pursed her lips tightly, watching the scene warily.

If the Nine-Tails were to suddenly attack, then at least she could take some precautions.

Kurama glanced at Kushina with disdain. This was the difference between a vessel and Blue Water!

In the real world, the sudden appearance of a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra caused all the ninjas in Konoha to riot, turning around to look in the direction of the Senju ancestral home.

At this moment, the members of Konoha Root, following the rehearsed script, rushed over from all directions with anxious and worried expressions on their faces.

The ninjas from various villages who emerged from the Forest of Death watched this scene with astonishment, their minds filled with thoughts.

The Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure have reached a stage where they can be used, and Kumogakure has even mastered the technique of perfecting Jinchuriki. The ninjas of these two villages are very familiar with the Tailed Beast Chakra.

Combined with the hasty movements of these Root ninjas, and the ferocity and unbridled nature of their chakra…

Hikari, a Jonin from Iwagakure, muttered to himself, "As expected, after Mito Uzumaki's death, Konoha has no one capable of controlling the Nine-Tails!"

Omoi nodded:

"To control the Eight-Tails, we in Kumogakure have put in countless efforts and lost many comrades over the years before finally finding a one-in-a-million candidate..."

"And the Nine-Tails, which is even more powerful than the Eight-Tails, could not possibly be mastered by Konoha in such a short time since the change of Jinchūriki..."

Higashi sneered, "So what if the Nine-Tails is the strongest tailed beast?"

"Although our Four-Tails and Five-Tails are not as powerful as the Nine-Tails, they can still be used by the village."

"The First Hokage left Konoha with the Nine-Tails, but he didn't consider that this overly powerful weapon would have no one to inherit it. Despite being a weapon of war, it has side effects..."

The Nine-Tails is such a contradictory existence in Konoha.

As the strongest tailed beast, and the one that the First Hokage distributed to Konoha, Konoha could not possibly abandon this important war resource.

However, the problem is that simply preserving the Nine-Tails would require wasting an extremely talented ninja as a vessel.

Even so, there is still a risk of going berserk.

The Nine-Tails is like a nuclear bomb without a detonation button. While Konoha is searching for a way to master this weapon, it also has to be wary of it self-destructing within the village.

Before it could unleash its full power, it consumed a great deal of Konoha's resources.

While the tailed beasts from other villages may not possess the same power as the Nine-Tails, they are still effective on the battlefield, making them a cost-effective option.

At the venue for the peace agreement.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Chiyo, Suigetsu Hozuki, Yotsuchi, and Tsuchida, had just finished signing their names on a piece of scrap paper.

The old Dengs, each with their own ulterior motives, maintained a facade of smiles, celebrating the arrival of so-called peace.

"The first joint peace agreement in the ninja world—a day worth commemorating, everyone..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "It's truly remarkable."

Huang Tu, Tu Tai, and Chiyo, these three high-ranking members of the village, still put on a show of supporting Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Only Kirigakure Anbu member Suigetsu Hozuki had a fierce glint in his eyes, as if he no longer wanted to pretend.

Just as he was about to speak, a surge of Nine-Tails chakra erupted from the Senju ancestral home in the heart of Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put on a serious expression, saying in a deep voice:

"Esteemed guests, please return to your respective villages. An unexpected situation has occurred in Konoha!"

After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi used the Body Flicker Technique to rush over at an extremely fast speed.

After he left, dozens of ANBU members came over, and the leader, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, coldly said, "Please come this way."

The Jonin leading the teams from various hidden villages were secretly laughing at this scene.

The intelligence gathered during this trip to Konoha was truly remarkable.

Concealing the true strength of the genin stems from a talent gap, conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha leadership, internal instability, the Nine-Tails' uncontrolled rampage, and the village's inevitable demise...

Under the escort of the Anbu, or rather, under their forced expulsion, the Jonin leading the teams from each village felt quite relaxed.

Whatever the problems are within their village...

Whether it's population pressure or economic collapse, as long as we can get a share of the behemoth that is Konoha, the problem can be perfectly solved.

And at the ancestral home of Senju.

The exchange between Qing Shui and Jiuwei continued.

"Alright, Nine-Tails, that's enough..."

Qing Shui smiled and walked outside the sealed fence, waving goodbye to the fox: "Looking forward to our next collaboration."

Qingshui closed the gate, completely filling the seal of the Four Symbols.

Although the Nine-Tails was still locked inside Kushina's body, it was no longer burdened by chains and prison equipment, making it much more comfortable.

Nine-Tailed Fox stared at Qing Shui with a complicated expression.

It knew that it wouldn't be difficult for Qing Shui to forcibly draw out its chakra with its eye power.

But we have to take the risk of cooperating with it, or even shaking hands, and showing goodwill, as if we're just looking for an excuse to make it feel more comfortable...

Why is this?

The Nine-Tails' not-so-bright mind was now filled with questions.

A bloodline aura reminiscent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, eye power resembling that of Indra, and a style of behavior somewhat similar to that of Asura…

What exactly is Qing Shui's identity?

After Aoshui left, Kushina cautiously watched Kurama, attempting to communicate with the fox:

"Nine-Tailed Fox, you seem to have noticed that Qing Shui is somewhat special?"

"Do you also know the story of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju...?"

Nine-Tailed Fox frowned. Who was that person again?

He seems to be a white-haired brat who gets constantly scolded by Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju, and then he keeps arguing back with a sour face.

This person is just an average individual; I've heard he knows some forbidden techniques, but he can't compare to someone with a bloodline of Qing Shui's level.

Kushina Uzumaki, the vessel, must have misunderstood something, but Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was too lazy to explain to her.

"You wouldn't understand, container."

Nine-Tails comfortably sprawled on the ground, rolled over freely, looked at the dome of the sealed space, and muttered to itself:

"This isn't the secret of Konoha you're talking about, but the secret of the ninja world, the secret of this world..."

A question mark appeared above Kushina's head.

Is the Second Hokage really that destructive?

And outside the house.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Aozumi met up and discussed information about the upcoming joint Chunin Exams.

Is everything as usual?

Qing Shui said softly:

"If there are no major mishaps, the war will probably start in no more than a month. Given the suspected rampage of the tailed beast, they will not give us any breathing room."

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied solemnly, "Everything is going according to plan, and there have been no problems."

Qing Shui nodded knowingly:

"In that case, I'm going to Root to redeploy personnel. Konoha's troops and the ninjas that need to be dispatched need to be brought back..."

After Qingshui left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out a scroll and used a special method to contact Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, who were still at Mount Myōboku.

"War is about to break out, return immediately!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the Hokage Rock in the distance, his heart surging with the excitement of a young boy.
