Naruto: I can synthesize psychic beasts

This is a small country surrounded by powerful countries.

There are at least dozens of such countries in the entire ninja world.

In addition to neutral countries such as the Land of Demons, where shrine maiden culture is prevalent and monsters have been sealed for generations, and the Land of Iron, the last home of the samurai, there are other countries with their own unique characteristics.

The other small countries still have room to survive, naturally because they have their own uses, so they have not been destroyed by the surrounding big countries.

It serves as a buffer zone for conflicts between major powers, and even exists directly as a zone where war breaks out!

This is the meaning of the existence of these small countries.

However, the area that Minato Namikaze pointed at was not even the size of a palm, but it looked so glaring to Jiraiya at this moment.

"When do you think they'll attack?"

After a long silence, Jiraiya chose to trust his disciple's judgment.

Namikaze Minato shook his head slightly. "I don't know the exact time, but I suspect if war breaks out, it will definitely be before the end of this year!"

"why?"

Jiraiya asked further.

"Because the longer it drags on, the stronger our Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure villages, which were severely damaged in the three wars, will recover! As long as Shangguan Mo is a smart man, as long as he is a qualified leader, then this war will definitely come!"

Namikaze Minato paused and looked at his teacher with a serious expression.

"Do you think Shangguan Mo is a smart and qualified leader?"

There was a moment of silence before Jiraiya let out a wry smile.

"Having single-handedly developed the Hot Spring Village to its current state, regardless of his position, Shangguan Mo is a rare genius in the ninja world that only appears once in a century!"

Namikaze Minato nodded, his expression growing more serious. "Yes, and unlike the demigod Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village, that fellow's abilities are destined not to weaken with age, but to grow stronger over time!"

Hearing this, Jiraiya's expression suddenly changed.

For the first time, I realized that Minato's guess was actually a very fatal problem!

And it should be extremely close to reality!

Thinking of this, Jiraiya couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face.

murmured to himself.

"Yes! That guy has never been famous for his own strength. The source of his strength, as well as that of the Hot Spring Village, all comes from the summoned beasts he cultivated!"

Jiraiya's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"In just a few short years, Shangguan Mo already possessed such a large number of summoned beasts, rivaling those of the Great Ninja Village..."

Jiraiya's pupils widened slightly. "No! Not comparable! Being able to defeat the Sand Village in such a short time in direct combat, the power of Shangguan Mo's summoned beasts actually surpasses the strength of some of the great ninja villages!"

Minato Namikaze sighed deeply and took over the conversation.

"So, we can fully imagine what the situation of the Tangnin Village will be like in a few years, or even decades, given the frequency of cultivating summoned beasts."

"Is this why you ignored the objections of the old man and the other two advisors, labeled Shangguan Mo as a super S-level dangerous ninja, and insisted on using Flying Thunder God to raid the Hot Spring Village?"

"Well... it's a pity that not only did it fail, but it also caused the deaths of Shikaku and Haiyi..."

At the end of the story, Namikaze Minato could no longer hide the pain on his face.

Jiraiya looked at the tired-looking young man in front of him.

Still handsome and approachable.

But Jiraiya could no longer see the youthful success and high spirits that the other person once had.

......

Chapter 503 Super S-level

The Hokage's office suddenly fell into silence.

Both the master and the disciple were aware of the strength and high threat posed by the opponent they were about to face.

But for the moment, there was no good way to deal with it.

a long time.

Jiraiya suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence and changing the topic to a less serious one.

"By the way, it seems Kushina is about to give birth, right?"

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, a bright smile quickly appeared on Minato Namikaze's face. This was a smile from the heart of a man who was about to become a father.

The new life and the emotional continuation of blood can always drive away all career fatigue.

"As for the due date, Biwako-sama said it should be around the middle of next month."

"Oh? Is Mrs. Biwako also a member of the maternal care team?" Jiraiya became interested and asked curiously.

"Yes." Namikaze Minato nodded. "After all, Kushina is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I would feel more at ease if she has an experienced ninja like Biwako-sama to look after her."

It was Sarutobi Hiruzen who arranged to let Biwako take care of Kushina and deliver the baby.

At least, when it comes to Kukona's safety, the political enemies Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi have reached an unprecedented consensus.

In fact, this is also because the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the time of its production need to be strictly kept secret.

That's why both of them felt relieved to let Sarutobi Biwako take care of Kuyukina.

Not only is Kushina's safety guaranteed, but her privacy is also perfectly maintained.

Biwako may not like Kushina for various reasons, but Kushina's other identity is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

As the wife of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, there was no reason for her to be detrimental to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or to Konoha.

As Konoha's greatest asset, the Nine-Tailed Fox's importance in Konoha Village is naturally self-evident.

Due to Kushina's special status as a Jinchūriki, the sealing power of the tailed beast will be greatly weakened during childbirth.

With the power of the Nine-Tailed Beast, the strongest of the tailed beasts, there is a great possibility that it will break free from the seal and escape.

Therefore, the Sarutobi Hiruzen couple and the Minato couple had already reached a consensus. Not only did they arrange for Kuyuki to live far away from the village early on, they also prepared a team of Konoha ninjas from the barrier team for her, ready to set up a barrier before the birth so that Kuyuki could give birth peacefully within the barrier without being disturbed.

This series of information is considered top secret in Konoha.

This is actually the same as Shangguan Mo, who is a super S-level dangerous person.

One is classified as confidential and needs to be taken seriously, while the other is classified as dangerous and needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Once someone with ulterior motives learns that the Nine-Tailed Fox's seal has become weakest, it is likely to cause a disaster.

Therefore, up to now, only a handful of people in Konoha knew this news.

Apart from the Minato couple, the Sarutobi couple, and the three high-level advisors of Konoha Village, few people know about the other ninjas of Konoha.

As Jiraiya was the teacher of Minato Namikaze and the disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he was naturally trusted by the two and was told this information.

And the ninth and final person who knew this super S-class secret information...

It's Hatake Kakashi!

......

"Why did you tell that brat Kakashi? Although he is as mature as the one from the Yugenin Village, but..."

Jiraiya found it difficult to say the following words.

After all, he is Minato's disciple and also his own grand-disciple.

Facing Jiraiya who was hesitant to speak, Namikaze Minato smiled indifferently.

"Teacher, are you trying to say that he has had contact with Counselor Danzo?"

Although it is a question, the tone is very affirmative.

Jiraiya was slightly startled. "Oh? You knew that too?"

He learned about this by accident through the toads that were everywhere in the village and when he saw a Root ninja in contact with Kakashi.

"Teacher, don't worry, I believe in Kakashi, just like you believe in me!

Although I also dislike the combative ninja personality of Advisor Danzo, at least he has worked hard for the village's intelligence work. Moreover, when I first proposed to eliminate Shangguan Mo, he was the first to vote in favor.

Namikaze Minato said confidently.

"So, in some ways, Advisor Danzo is also an assistant that I, the Hokage, can trust. We cannot deny his character and loyalty to Konoha just because he wants to become Hokage."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze with admiration.

Looking at this disciple who looked weak in appearance but was actually very opinionated, Jiraiya stared at him for a long while and suddenly shook his head with emotion.

"The old man was right in choosing you to be the Hokage. With your broad mind and vision, Minato, you are the right person to be the Hokage!"

Until now, he seemed to finally understand why his teacher, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, had pushed Namikaze Minato, a young man in his early twenties, to the position.

It's not just because he's young and "easy to control", but more because of the influence of Minato's broad mind and vision.

Being able to put aside preferences and prejudices, to acknowledge and give great trust to an "enemy" like Shimura Danzo, Jiraiya believed that he was completely incapable of doing so.

"That guy Orochimaru deserved to lose! Even though he can be compared with Minato in all aspects, and even better in some aspects, and seems more suitable to be the leader of this village. But the position of Hokage requires not only wisdom, strength and means, but also the mind and pattern of thought are also very important..."

Jiraiya sighed secretly in his heart.

Orochimaru is good in every way except that he is too cold-hearted. To put it more seriously, he is extremely selfish and self-centered.

And this situation becomes more and more obvious as time goes by.

"This is probably the biggest reason why the old man gave up on passing the Hokage position to him..."

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen, who saw through the changes in Orochimaru's character, be willing to hand over the village he had protected for decades to the hands of Orochimaru with such a character?

Jiraiya knew it very well in his heart.

Among his three disciples, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always liked Orochimaru, who is more talented, intelligent, and calm, since he was a child, and he has identified him as an excellent candidate for successor very early on.

It’s just a pity that as he gets older, Orochimaru’s personality becomes darker and darker.

Even now, he doesn't communicate at all with the ninjas in the village.

Even Jiraiya couldn't find Orochimaru after returning to the village.
