Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"You don't really need to be so resistant to the Nine-Tailed Fox. Although it's an old thing whose age is unknown, your proud fox is quite cute."

This is absolutely outrageous!

The Nine-Tails is wreaking havoc again inside the sealed gate.

Kushina found it amazing; the Nine-Tails had experienced more intense emotional fluctuations in all the years she had lived inside it than she had today.

Minato Namikaze also noticed Kazan's uniqueness.

He did not show any fear or disgust because Kushina was a Jinchuriki, and even took the initiative to communicate with Kurama.

as well as......

"Kazan, what did you mean when you said that not every Uchiha is like that?"

"It means exactly what it says."

"You should know that the people in the village are very hostile to the Uchiha."

"So what if I know?"

So what?

Most of the ninja clans in Konoha communicate with each other.

Even the Hyuga clan maintains good relations with other ninja clans.

The Uchiha, however, seem to exist outside of Konoha, and cannot be dismissed with a simple "so what?"

People's impression of the Uchiha clan is simply that of a powerful ninja family.

Their clan leader, Madara Uchiha, was the murderer who killed the First Hokage and was Konoha's first rogue ninja.

Even Kurenai Yuhi didn't want Kazan to have any connection with the Uchiha clan.

He thought Kazan was too young to understand human nature, and reminded him, "Kazan, the Uchiha's fate is not worthy of sympathy."

"Bad people don't deserve sympathy, but your companions are different."

Kazan opened the package of the rare dried persimmons from the night sky and poured them into his mouth.

"Uchiha, do you wear the same headband as me?"

As a reincarnated being, he understood the Uchiha's situation better, showing no hostility or sympathy, and treating them all equally.

"........"

The living room suddenly fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

For a moment, Kushina felt that Kazan was more like a little sun than her husband, Minato Namikaze.

She broke the deadlock by slapping Kazan on the head, but not too hard, afraid of hurting herself.

"I didn't expect you to be so good with words, kid!"

"That's right, bad people don't deserve sympathy, but family, friends, and companions are different!"

Mikoto Uchiha is her best friend.

Therefore, Kushina was one of the few people who did not oppose the Uchiha clan.

Minato Namikaze nodded secretly.

The couple were among the few who were willing to accept the Uchiha clan, and they were also good friends with Fugaku Uchiha.

Over the years, he truly came to understand that the Uchiha clan was not as ruthless as the villagers described.

On the contrary, they are more emotional than most people and care deeply about their family and friends.

However, the villagers always used cold-blooded law enforcement to label the Uchiha as inhuman.

Kazan was slapped and almost spat out the dried persimmon.

"You'd better pray that your future children don't look like you, but rather like your husband more."

"You little brat, how can you talk so irritatingly?"

"Because the truth is the sharpest knife."

"You still dare to talk!"

The meal ended in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

......

"Thank you for your hospitality tonight. See you tomorrow."

"Welcome to visit again next time."

The Yuhi Shinku family bids farewell to Minato Namikaze and his wife.

"I'll definitely come next time. You promised to teach me how to cook!"

"And you brat, goodbye!"

Kushina first bid a friendly farewell to Lady Yuhi, then turned and glared fiercely at Kazan.

"Goodbye, my grumpy older sister, and Nine-Tails. My name is Kazan. Tell me your name next time too."

Why is your attitude towards me even worse than that of the Nine-Tails?

That bastard is so damn infuriating.

Kushina's fists clenched without her even realizing it.

'Hmph, stop bothering me!' Nine-Tails opened its eyes and then closed them again.

Minato Namikaze, standing to the side, found it amusing.

"I wasn't wrong, Kushina, you and Kazan get along very well."

"Where did you see that I get along with him? That kid is infuriating." Kushina crossed her arms and snorted, "But he's quite interesting."

It's truly amazing that someone who isn't afraid of Jinchūriki and even actively communicates with Tailed Beasts exists in this world.

.........

the next day.

The Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi invited the daimyo of the Land of Fire to discuss something.

Before it even started, the sound of punches coming from the back hill could be heard.

"Hokage, what's that noise? Is the back of Konoha being expanded?"

Daming looked over but found no signs of construction, but the "bang bang bang" sounds were truly awe-inspiring.

"It's Kazan who's been training in the back mountains. I'm sorry you had to see that. Let's go somewhere quiet to talk."

It hurts so much to have my head chopped off by Sarutobi Hibiki.

After finally having a few quiet days, the pain of severe sleep deprivation returned as soon as the exams were over.

The daimyo was curious and wanted to see it, but the most important thing right now was to discuss the war arrangements.

The two found a quiet place to sit down, accompanied by two advisors from Konoha and some important figures from the Land of Fire.

"So, is war inevitable?"

"Konoha does not want war to happen; that is our position. But if we want to protect the peace of the Land of Fire, there are some things we have to do. Konoha needs strength."

Protect the Land of Fire...

Da Ming shook his head calmly; such linguistic skills couldn't fool him.

He was certain that if the Land of Fire and Konoha were placed on the same scale, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely choose Konoha.

"If that's the case, then the Land of Fire's stance is the same as Konoha's."

"The Land of Fire has no intention of letting Konoha expand its territory; it only wants to protect every inch of its land."

The underlying message is: Just hold your ground and don't start a war. It shouldn't cost much.

"Your Excellency, the Ninja World War is no small matter; a single move can have far-reaching consequences. The ninja villages participating in the war are not just one or two, but the entire ninja world."

Konoha advisor Mitokado Homura spoke out, detailing the brutality of the war to the daimyo.

In short, if war breaks out, this money will be indispensable.

The two groups of people were pulling back and forth, arguing about how much money was involved.

Finally, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who spoke up, saying, "Daimyo, I promise you that as long as Konoha exists, not an inch of the Land of Fire will be lost."

slap~

The daimyo closed his folding fan; he had been waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to say those words.

Money? The Land of Fire has no shortage of it.

Let the common people suffer a bit; maybe the funds will come back before the war is even over.

Not to mention that if Konoha wins the war, the Land of Fire can also get a share of the reparations.

All he wanted was Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude.

"Then it's settled. The Land of Fire will fully support Konoha."

"The Land of Fire can guarantee that Konoha will have the gunpowder needed for the explosive tags and the minerals needed for the kunai and shuriken."

"My only condition is to become Hokage. Don't lose."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were resolute and decisive.

"We will win!"

Chapter 52 Alliance

Konoha and the Land of Fire quickly reached an agreement.

Mitomon Homura and others listed out the supplies needed for the war. The daimyo glanced at them and made a decision on the spot.

The Land of Fire will deliver the gunpowder, iron ore, food, and other supplies needed by Konoha as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the artisans of the Land of Fire will work overtime to forge deadly weapons for Konoha.
