There is a tailed beast running around in the ninja world. This is certainly not a major event that can be monitored and controlled by the Shadow Stream alone, but a key issue that requires the attention of the entire Konoha's intelligence department.
Therefore, sometimes the Shadow Stream is just a subordinate unit that passively receives important intelligence, rather than a superior unit that will actively obtain intelligence.
After receiving the relevant news, Hanyu took Shiko to the Hokage office building to discuss how to deal with the next matter. When they arrived here, in addition to the Third Hokage, the two Konoha consultants and Danzo had already arrived.
These four people are currently the decision-making center of Konoha. As for Hanyu, he was summoned only because of the special nature of the matter to be discussed next that concerns the tailed beasts... Among the disciples of the second generation Hokage, except for Uchiha Kagami who has died, the remaining Akimichi Torikatsu has gradually become a special execution unit. He does not participate in decision-making matters, but is only responsible for coordinating the ninja troops and executing certain decisions of the top leaders.
In the last Ninja World War, he was in charge of this kind of work, so his identity and position continued after the war... As for whether this positioning was his "own requirement" based on personal ability and character, or "other people's orders" because the village did not actually need so many decision makers, this was something that Hanyu did not know.
"Everyone is here. Let me explain some of the information the village has just obtained." After seeing Hanyu's arrival, the Third Hokage motioned for him to find a place to sit down, and then said this.
Hanyu was definitely not late because he was "playing big", and such a reason was not enough to make the Hokage and the advisors wait for him. It was just that in terms of the priority of information transmission, the Shadow Stream was the last to receive the news, so Hanyu was naturally the last to arrive.
The Third Hokage did not pay much attention to Shiko, who was brought by Hanyu, but the advisor and Danzo felt that Shiko, who was standing behind Hanyu, and her long blood-red hair were particularly eye-catching.
Perhaps other ninjas in Konoha are not familiar with Shiko, as she is not well-known and has no achievements, but everyone present must know her identity. Although this Uzumaki ninja has been keeping a low profile like a transparent person for a long time, no one really regards her as a transparent person.
For a long time, she has been following Uzumaki Mito, but now she is standing silently behind Hanyu, just like a "transparent person" before, but what does this mean?
There must be people present who are secretly complaining that Hanyu is a lucky man. First he had Sansho's care and then he had Uzumaki Mito's support. The former represented the Senju and the latter represented the Uzumaki... If you count it this way, his previous achievements in the Shimohara Battle are nothing. With that kind of special support, everyone feels that they can do it too.
However, this is just a "feeling". As for what Hanyu had accomplished before, except for the Third Hokage who was in his prime, it was almost impossible for the rest of the people present to do it... The tactics Hanyu used when dealing with the Jinchūriki were too special. Either he killed instantly without giving the opponent a reaction, or he trapped him with a mental seal. In a sense, this was not a head-on confrontation of strength.
So, is there anyone here who has the unpredictable speed of Hanyu? Is there anyone who can use the same consciousness seal as him? If not, then they can only fight passionately like the Third Raikage did when he dealt with the tailed beasts. However... are they as thick-skinned as the Raikage?
Therefore, in general, although there is a gap in status among everyone in Konoha, Hanyu does not despise this group of people. He just thinks that he can communicate with the consultants on an equal footing because of his achievements.
"According to the intelligence from the reconnaissance ninjas we sent out, the latest appeared in the Land of Hot Springs, and it has the intention of hiding on the spot, so... the question now is what measures should we take to deal with the Two-Tail."
So this is the Land of Hot Springs. Could it be that the tailed beasts also want to take a hot spring bath?
Hanyu blinked his eyes and thought that no matter how smart the tailed beasts were, they definitely had brains. At least when the Two-Tails chose to hide, it did not come to the Fire Kingdom or the Lightning Kingdom, but instead found a small country with little power.
The tailed beast that has regained its freedom naturally hates the ninja village that restrained it. However, the Two-Tails did not rush directly into Kumogakure to vent its revenge. This shows that it also understands the value of freedom... The Kumogakure are all muscular brothers, and they will do all kinds of things to the tailed beasts, which is very scary.
"I don't think this is something that needs to be discussed. According to the current arrangement, we just need to let our ninjas keep an eye on the trail of the Two-Tails. As long as it doesn't invade the Land of Fire, we don't need to pay too much attention to this matter... The Two-Tails will naturally be taken care of by the Hidden Cloud Village."
As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Homura continued.
"I agree with you."
It's not surprising that Koharu expressed the same opinion, as the two advisors are in agreement most of the time.
"Konoha Village doesn't need any extra tailed beasts.
More importantly, if we want to take action against the Two-Tails, not only will we be counterattacked by the Two-Tails, but even the Hidden Cloud Village will not sit idly by. Furthermore, it may trigger a chain reaction, and other ninja villages will also take action. The most serious consequence is that the foundation of the balance of ninja villages established since the first Hokage may be broken...
You know, from the beginning, not all the tailed beasts were controlled by the five major ninja villages. The tailed beasts of the smaller ninja villages could theoretically be seized. The reason why no one did so was simply because they didn't want to disrupt the balance of the tailed beasts between each other."
Danzo rarely spoke a few more words, fully expressing his opinion. It was obvious that he also felt that it was enough to wait and see about the two-tailed beast. The Kumogakure would eventually capture their own tailed beasts.
The main reason why these people's opinions tend to be negative is actually not related to what they said, but because Konoha only has one Nine-Tailed Beast... The relationship between the nine tailed beasts is not actually harmonious. The Nine-Tailed Beast often despises those with fewer tails than it because it has nine tails, and thinks that the power of other tailed beasts is weaker than it.
In reality? This is indeed the case. It can even be said that the power of the Nine-Tails is far stronger than that of any individual tailed beast.
Therefore, as long as Konoha has the Nine-Tails, it will be completely invincible. No matter what trouble the outside world causes because of other tailed beasts, as long as Konoha has the Nine-Tails in hand, it will remain unmoved.
The Third Hokage seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction.
The tailed beast is a double-edged sword. It has great deterrent power, but it is also very harmful. Once a tailed beast goes berserk in a ninja village, the consequences are likely to be devastating... Therefore, normally speaking, after Konoha has the Nine-Tails, it really does not need other tailed beasts. The behavior of fighting for the tailed beasts will do more harm than good.
But the problem is that except for the Third Hokage and Hanyu, no one else present knew about the village's plan regarding the Nine-Tails. Once the Nine-Tails' power becomes controllable and safer, it would be a good thing for Konoha to have one more tailed beast.
At least it can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
However, Danzo and the advisors were not wrong about one thing. In this matter, the attitude of Kumogakure is very crucial, far more crucial than the attitude of the Two-Tails itself. So... do you want to test Kumogakure?
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage turned his gaze to Hanyu, and his eyelids couldn't help twitching... Hanyu lowered his head slightly, and although he was silent, his lips were moving, and what he was saying was clearly... "a bunch of wimps."
Well, it's a very objective evaluation, but the Third Hokage was actually a little concerned about one issue at this time... Did the "group" mentioned by Hanyu include the Hokage himself?
Hanyu cleared his throat and then spoke slowly, "So what you're saying is that there's a huge force that can destroy a country walking freely outside, and we just have to watch it?
It's just a tailed beast. After all, you are the decision-makers of Konohagakure, the strongest of the five major ninja villages, so...what are you afraid of?"
Frankly speaking, although Hanyu's sense of belonging to Konoha was limited, he also felt that this group of authentic Konoha people really brought shame to Konoha.
Yes, the advisors are afraid, because they are not as good at fighting as the first Hokage, so why should they not be afraid? Is this accusation justified?
However, how can I say this so directly? Didn't we agree not to hit people in the face?
Koharu's face was a little gloomy. Ever since she took on the position of consultant, everyone had been calling her "Adult". She hadn't heard such direct words in many years.
"Young man, that's a tailed beast, you know..."
However, she stopped abruptly before she could finish her habitual criticism.
Because if she asked "Are you worthy?", then Hanyu could answer with confidence "I am worthy, at least more worthy than you."
"Why are you afraid of the tailed beasts?"... In Konoha, apart from the retired veteran cadre, only Hanyu is qualified to say this, and he can even add an innocent expression to this sentence.
The Third Hokage is not as qualified as Hanyu. Of course, at least he has to kill two tailed beasts before he can say these things, right?
What? You want to ask the first Hokage?
The first Hokage is just a nobody. Is he worthy? Has he ever killed the tailed beast?
Even though Lord Hashirama seemed to be able to kill a tailed beast as easily as crushing a stink bug, he never really did it because he was afraid his hands would stink, right?
So people who have no achievements should talk less.
In Konoha, no one knows the tailed beasts better than Hanyu...
To be exact, no one knows how to kill the tailed beasts better than him.
