I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"In other words, the threat of the One-Tailed Beast must be eliminated before the Sand Village can completely submit to Konoha, right?"

Kitahara Kaede murmured.

And this is also the time.

[Beep!]

[Today's allocation is now available in a small group.]

[Everyone is welcome to speak freely.]

[Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group]

[Big Pillar Silly]: Here it comes, finally here!

【Tobirama Senju】: The group has finally started up. I've been waiting for ages.

[Minato Namikaze]: So what's the situation now?

[Minato Namikaze]: Has Kitahara-kun arrived at Sunagakure yet? @Kakashi.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Minato-sensei, I'm watching too.

[The woman who loves Kakashi]: This should be Sunagakure.

As Nohara Rin's voice rang out, everyone noticed that Kitahara Kaede's figure had appeared on the screen.

However, the composition of this scene seems somewhat subtle.

[Minato Namikaze]: Kitahara-kun, Gaara, and then two reanimated characters from Sunagakure...

[Tobirama Senju]: Huh? Kitahara Kaede didn't use Edo Tensei on the people of Sunagakure too!

[Tobirama Senju]: The Impure World Reincarnation technique that I invented was for the benefit of Konoha. How come it was also used by Sunagakure?

【Shukaku】: You bunch of idiots.

【Eight-tailed】: It's not nice to curse like that.

【Shukaku】: All of you are just talking nonsense, don't you know I've been here the whole time?

[Shukaku]: That's why you should ask me at times like this!

[Big Pillar Silly]: That makes sense. One-Tailed Baby, share some information with us.

It was only then that everyone remembered that, yes, the small group could only observe the scenery around Kitahara Kaede for 3 hours. After 3 hours, and after the small group was closed, everyone would go back to their own places.

The dead returned to their respective sacred lands, while the living ninjas returned to their own bodies.

Therefore, it is impossible to know what happened after that period of time.

Things were alright before, but for Konoha, there was still Pain, the Deva Path, lurking in the shadows.

[Shukaku]: What are you calling me, baby? Call me Lord Shukaku!

Shukaku has been feeling frustrated since its first appearance, and now that it has finally obtained information that only it knows, it is naturally going to reclaim its prestige.

but.

【Tobirama Senju】: Ichi-Tachi is shameless.

[Tobirama Senju]: My older brother can sculpt the Nine-Tails like he's squeezing a chick.

[Tobirama Senju]: Would you like to join in too?

[Nine Lama]: ...

[Nine Lamas]: Can you please not desecrate the corpse?

【Kurama】: Thinking back again, Hashirama Senju's head pat was just too hardcore.

Isn't it?

When Kurama was controlled by Madara Uchiha and attacked Konoha, Hashirama Senju blocked him and then used the True Several Thousand Hands technique to smash the Susanoo that Madara had put on Kurama. Then, he used only one hand of the True Several Thousand Hands technique to firmly grasp Kurama.

It's like pinching a chick.

That would be an absolute disgrace.

Therefore, Kurama dislikes Madara but also dislikes Hashirama.

[Shukaku]: Kurama, you're backing down like this? You're really disgracing the tailed beasts!

[Shukaku]: Although I can't beat you, I just won't accept it.

Then, Shukaku, still unconvinced, recounted its intelligence.

【Shukaku】: Chiyo, an advisor to Sunagakure, proposed to Kitahara Kaede a plan to eliminate Pain and then have Sunagakure join Konoha.

[Shukaku]: And now, at 12 o'clock, Pain's announcement arrives in Sunagakure. To prevent war from breaking out in the village, Kitahara Kaede takes Gaara and Sasori's parents out of the village.

[Minato Namikaze]: I see.

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: So... Sunagakure is going to merge into Konoha?

[Tobirama Senju]: That's not bad, I can accept it.

[Minato Namikaze]: In other words, the power structure of the four great ninja villages is about to change again.

[Big Pillar Silly]: So it's a three-way standoff?

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: If it's a system of checks and balances, then that's good. This kind of model can achieve cooperation and peace.

[The Woman Who Loves Kakashi]: In other words, the era of war is finally coming to an end!

Rin Nohara also shared her opinion, and her words immediately weighed heavily on people's hearts.

Because Rin's former team, Minato, lived during a time of war, both she and Obito died trying to stop and end the battle.

and so……

Her words silenced both Minato and Kakashi.

[Shukaku]: Hey, you guys...

[Shukaku]: You haven't finished speaking yet.

Shukaku felt ignored and became somewhat annoyed.

[Eight-Tailed Fox]: Fine, I'll talk to you then. Go ahead and continue.

[Eight-Tails]: I'm curious, Pain said he came to Sunagakure to capture you, but if Kitahara Kaede left with Gaara, what if Pain crossed paths with them and then went to the village to destroy it?

[Shukaku]: You ask me? How would I know?

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Could it be...?

[Big Pillar Silly]: Kakashi, what are you thinking about?

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: I have an idea. Since Pain wants to capture the Tailed Beasts, Kitahara Kaede not only needs to stop Pain, but also needs to find a way to ensure that Pain does not destroy the Sand Village.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Then... the only way is to let the Tailed Beasts break free.

[Tobirama Senju]: I see.

【Minato Namikaze】: There is indeed such a method.

[Shukaku]: Huh? What?

[Nine Lama]: I've told you to learn more characters and read more books, so you still don't understand, right?

[Nine Lama]: Congratulations, your long-awaited freedom has finally arrived, and then... you're also free now.

P.S.: I changed the cover a bit. Um... just like the previous book, because the original illustration of Hinata couldn't pass the censorship, I had to dress Hinata up and put a towel on her to get it approved.

Chapter 104 Noon, the Planetary Devastation Appears in Sunagakure! Part 1! (Please auto-play and subscribe to the full series)

Shukaku is free now?

It has been sealed inside the Jinchūriki ever since it was taken over by the Sand Village.

The previous generation's Jinchūriki had a good character, which Shukaku was barely satisfied with.

This generation's Jinchūriki, Gaara, was cruel and bloody, but in the end... he was just a mama's boy.

After thinking about it, Shukaku decided to accept it.

And now they say it... is finally free?

【Shukaku】: Could it be that Kitahara Kaede is planning to release me from Gaara's body before Pain captures me?

[Shouhe]: Are labor and management finally going to be free?

【Nine Lamas】: That's roughly the meaning.

[Kurama]: Pain's goal is to capture the Tailed Beasts, while the goal of the Sand Village is to capture you, so...

[Kurama]: If you appear outside the Sand Village, then Pain naturally doesn't need to go to the Sand Village.

【Kurama】: So the facilities of Sunagakure were preserved.

[Nine Lama]: That's why I said you're free.

[Shukaku]: So that means I finally don't need any bird-like Jinchuriki anymore!

[Shukaku]: We've finally regained our freedom!

[Shukaku]: I'm going to become the first - Tailed Beast to gain freedom!

[Eight-tailed]: It certainly looks like that, I'm so envious.

Eight-tailed Fox sat obediently and said.

Yes.

It is envy.

Because Killer Bee perished, it was also absorbed by the Ten-Tails, so what remains here now is just a remnant soul, making it the most pitiful of all the tailed beasts.

And Shukaku was actually the first to gain freedom, so how could one not be envious?

[Minato Namikaze]: However, if the tailed beast is forcibly extracted, the Jinchuriki will die. How can we prevent Gaara from dying?

[Unmarried women of marriageable age who are still single]: This is indeed a problem.

[Tobirama Senju]: No, that's not a problem.

[Tobirama Senju]: Don't forget, aren't there two reanimated people following Kitahara Kaede and Gaara right now?

[Minato Namikaze]: I feel like I've seen these two reanimated people somewhere before.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: Teacher, I only know those two reanimated men, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.

[Minato Namikaze]: I see. Yes, if the tailed beast is removed, the jinchūriki will die.

[Minato Namikaze]: But this is not the past era. According to Kitahara-kun, there are ways to be resurrected, such as Sage Art talismans, the Rinne Rebirth of the Rinnegan, the Impure World Reincarnation of the Second Hokage, and the Izanagi of the Sharingan, etc. These methods can all be chosen.

[Minato Namikaze]: So it's quite convenient to extract the One-Tailed Beast and kill Gaara or something.

[Minato Namikaze]: So it was my own brain that didn't quite catch on.

·······

While they were discussing in the small group, Kitahara Kaede and the others had already arrived outside the village.

"This should be fine," Kitahara Kaede said.

“If we want to protect the village, then we need to let the One-Tail appear outside the village and lure Pain here,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Okay." Gaara had no objections.

"Then I will extract one tail."

“And you might die.” Kitahara Kaede stared into Gaara’s eyes. “To be precise, you will definitely die.”

"However, your strength is still quite good, and you can continue to move forward. Although you may not be able to reach the level of a Kage, you can still do some ordinary things."

"So I can resurrect you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique," Kitahara Kaede said.

“Impure World Reincarnation is also an option,” Gaara said. “I was rather cruel in the past. If dying once can atone for my sins, then I would rather die once.”

"..." Gaara.

"Besides, if there's no One-Tail, then I can go to sleep, right?"

"I……"

"I want to get a real night's sleep."
