I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 585 A Letter from the Land of Fields!

"If you said this child is the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, then I could barely believe it."

Kushina Uzumaki crossed her arms, wearing a confident expression that said, "I'm well-read, you can't fool me."

"But 'the son of the Kazekage'... isn't that a bit too outrageous?!"

Because of the unique physique of the Uzumaki clan ninjas, they are often regarded as the best sealing vessels for tailed beasts.

Wasn't Kushina Uzumaki brought to the Land of Fire by the Konoha ninja for the same reason?

Judging from the photo, Gaara has bright red hair.

In Kushina Uzumaki's eyes, this child was clearly a Uzumaki ninja with an innately large amount of chakra.

While this description may not be ideal, such a gifted child is indeed suitable for sealing the tailed beasts.

As for where Nara Rangatsu came from and how he "abducted" this One-Tailed Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kushina didn't care.

He's the Hokage, he's the highest-ranking one!

but.

Kazekage's son?

Are you kidding me!

Nara Rinkazuki was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, not the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure.

Why could the Fourth Hokage decide who would be the Fourth Kazekage's biological son?

Kushina Uzumaki couldn't understand.

If Nara Rinka could decide the fate of the Fourth Kazekage's son today...

So, does that mean that tomorrow Nara Rinka can have a son with the Fifth Kazekage?

There's no such logic in the ninja world.

Faced with Kushina Uzumaki's questioning, Nara Ranke opened his mouth, but in the end, he saved himself the effort of explaining.

Let them think whatever they want...

If Kushina Uzumaki didn't consider Gaara to be the son of the Kazekage.

Instead, they see Gaara as an ordinary little boy with the One-Tailed Beast sealed within him—though this is not ordinary.

In this way, it might even help improve the harmony within the Namikaze family.

Nara Rangsuke has been helping the Namikaze family to have more children.

It's because every member of the Namikaze family is a talented individual, possessing unique skills.

Nara Rinkazu definitely did not intend to disrupt the harmony of the Namikaze family.

In this case.

As long as Kushina is happy.

Anyway, the children will be taken care of by this "Big Mom of the Namikaze family" in the future.

From Naruto Uzumaki, to Naruto Namikaze, to Karin, and now Gaara...

"Big Mom of the Namikaze family" still bears a lot of heavy responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Nara Rinka hesitated for a moment, then changed to a more tactful way to warn Uzumaki Kushina in advance.

"First of all, Gaara is indeed the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast."

Nara Rinka said earnestly.

"Secondly, Gaara really hates—no, he despises—the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa."

Kushina Uzumaki frowned, realizing that Nara Rinko hadn't directly answered her question.

But she quickly glanced down at the child in the photo.

Hmm, this child definitely can't be the Kazekage's son!

Minato Namikaze, who was standing to the side, also noticed the deliberate concealment in Nara Rinka's words.

However, his thoughts were the same as Kushina Uzumaki's.

The Fourth Hokage abducted the Fourth Kazekage's son, and so on...

Is this something a normal person would do?!

The Hokage, who upholds the Will of Fire, shouldn't be this "crazy," right?

"Fine!"

Kushina Uzumaki spoke first, ignoring Nara Rinka's additional explanation and asking directly.

Where is the child?

"Nara Mori."

Nara Rinka replied.

"I temporarily placed Gairo in the care of King Mu."

"After all, he is the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, and his current condition is not very stable."

Kushina Uzumaki nodded first, then shook her head.

The issues surrounding Jinchūriki (human jinchūriki) are indeed not to be taken lightly.

but.

"Are you sure placing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki next to the Five-Tailed Kokuo will help stabilize his mental state?"

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Nara Rinka with a strange expression, while raising her hand to touch her own lower abdomen.

"I have a feeling that One-Tail will be greatly stimulated and then go berserk?"

He is the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

During Hiruzen Sarutobi's reign, Kushina Uzumaki's life was far from easy.

She is always accompanied by one or two secret service squads.

It's nominally for "protection".

It is actually "surveillance".

Furthermore, these ANBU ninjas would do their utmost to restrict Kushina Uzumaki's range of movement, euphemistically calling it "the Hokage's order."

No normal person likes being monitored.

Not to mention the constant, round-the-clock surveillance.

At that time, if it weren't for Minato Namikaze always being by her side, providing support and encouragement to Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina Uzumaki didn't know how long she could hold out.

But then the Fourth Hokage took office.

Kushina Uzumaki's life suddenly became much better.

Nara Rinka not only ordered the removal of the ANBU ninja squad that had been surrounding Kushina Uzumaki.

Furthermore, the strategy of restricting Kushina's personal movements has been completely lifted.

Kushina Uzumaki now acts like a normal, ordinary female ninja from Konoha.

Regarding personal treatment, Kushina Uzumaki was treated the same as other regular Jonin, without any special treatment.

But it is precisely this "normal treatment" that is the greatest recognition of Kushina Uzumaki!

On the surface, Kushina Uzumaki showed no respect for Nara Rinka, the Fourth Hokage, and interacted with him in a very casual and relaxed manner.

However, in Kushina Uzumaki's heart, she still highly regarded Nara Rinkazu, the Fourth Hokage.

Although the other party took Minato's position, he can still be considered a good Hokage.

He's at least a hundred times, a thousand times better than that wicked old man, Hiruzen Sarutobi!

Closer to home.

Because of Kushina Uzumaki's special identity.

Nara Rinkei also told the other party about his "Tailed Beast Peace Plan".

Therefore, both Kushina Uzumaki and the Nine-Tails within her were well aware of the Fourth Hokage's "grand dream".

Hmm, something about humans and tailed beasts coexisting peacefully...

Whether in the eyes of Kushina Uzumaki, the Jinchūriki, or in the eyes of Kurama (the Nine-Tails), it certainly falls into the category of "dream".

In order to gain the trust of the Nine-Tails, Nara Rangsuke took the initiative to invite Uzumaki Kushina to Naramori to meet the Five-Tails, Kokuou.

What was the result?

Nine-Tails is very angry.

The consequences... are not serious.

When I saw with my own eyes just how free and carefree the Five-Tailed King Kokuou was living.

Feeling extremely wronged, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) indeed went berserk immediately.

Even if the Uzumaki clan's [Tail-Sealing Seal] is very powerful.

Even if Kushina Uzumaki's individual abilities are very strong.

The Nine-Tails has always been the strongest tailed beast, and it has always possessed the ability to "go berserk"!

I remember Nara Lan Gui very clearly.

On that day, the wind in Nara Forest was strong, and the Nine-Tails' chakra permeating the air was enough to burn the skin of ordinary people.

after that.

The newly developed [Shadow Seal Technique] has been put to its first test subject and has achieved outstanding results.

The rampaging Nine-Tails was directly suppressed by Nara Rinka.

No matter how unhappy the Nine-Lama was.

It also had no way to break through the Fourth Hokage's Shadow Seal Technique.

In addition, there was Kushina Uzumaki's active suppression.

The rampaging Nine-Tails was eventually "driven" back into its seal.

Although, after many twists and turns, Kurama finally believed in Nara Rinkei's "Tailed Beast Peace Plan".

Although this did not prevent the Nine Lamas from becoming emotional whenever he heard the name "Naramori".

Just like now.

Kushina Uzumaki raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen because she sensed the anger of Kurama sealed within it.

Nine-Tails is angry again!

However, Kushina Uzumaki vaguely sensed that Kurama's anger was not solely due to the Five-Tails, Kokuou.

It seems it's also because of... Shukaku?

Is there some kind of conflict between Kurama and Shukaku?

The Nine-Tailed Fox in the [Sealing Seal]: ...

"Shukaku did suffer a little shock while in Nara Forest."

Nara Rinka said calmly.

"But this is just a minor issue. Anyway, Shukaku is still very sensible."

Haha, you silly raccoon!

Kushina Uzumaki seemed to hear Kurama's mocking voice.

However, she herself also found it somewhat comical.

Kushina Uzumaki didn't believe that the One-Tailed Beast was really that honest.

It must have been some Fourth Hokage who wished to remain anonymous who made it behave and become sensible on its own...

"Give me a note."

Kushina Uzumaki wiped the smile off her face and stretched out her hand.

"I'm going to Naramori."

Naramori is the private territory of the Nara clan.

Other ninjas who want to enter Nara Forest must obtain permission; otherwise, it would be considered a provocation against the Nara clan.

Even Kushina Uzumaki, if she wanted to go to Naramori, she had to ask the head of the Nara clan for a letter of permission.

"Let's go find Brother Lu Jiu."

Nara Lan Gui waved his hand, indicating that the young couple could leave.

He will approve the note for you.

"You're so lazy you could die!"

Kushina Uzumaki made a comment and was about to take Minato Namikaze inside.

The Namikaze couple were always inseparable.

Moreover, if we really go to Naramori later, Minato Namikaze can lend a hand.

If Kurama, Kokuo, and Shukaku were to clash, Minato Namikaze could at least quickly send reinforcements from Konoha.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were about to leave.

The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The Jonin squad leader walked into the office, his brows furrowed, a wet scroll in his hand.

"Fourth Hokage, a letter from the Three Sannin."

Second update.

Goodnight everybody.

Two updates today.

I'm not staying up late anymore.
