Chapter 131 Knowing When to Speak
Just as Madara Uchiha was secretly plotting, in the Land of Waterfall.
Unlike Kumogakure, Takigakure is more discerning.
When they saw Minato arriving with two tailed beasts from afar, they voluntarily handed their jinchūriki over to Minato.
Minato extracted the Seven-Tails, Jumei, from the Jinchuriki's body, obtained a portion of the Jinchuriki's chakra, and then released it back into nature.
Chongming has a somewhat introverted personality and is a bit of a homebody. It is said that he is going to live in a place full of insects and sincerely invites Minato to visit his home.
Insects everywhere —
After thinking about that scene, Minato declined the other party's suggestion without hesitation.
Then, taking the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, they headed towards Iwagakure.
"In just half a day, I've already lost three tails."
The demon spoke in a muffled voice, showing Minato his severed tail.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't this thing be tentacles?"
Minato hesitated, "And then there's Chongming. The so-called tail should be wings, right? It doesn't look like a tail at all."
"Chongming originally had a tail, but back then it was just a... uh... a worm?"
You Lu said calmly, "But the Bull Demon really has tentacles."
For some reason, these words tickled Minato's funny bone, causing a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"The old man never intended to give me legs, what could I do?" The bull demon looked somewhat unhappy.
"Is the old man the Sage of Six Paths?" Minato asked, still hoping for an answer.
"Yes, we were all created by the Sage of Six Paths."
He further explained, "So to us, he is like a father figure."
"Watergate!"
Suddenly, Ushioni turned to look at Minato, his round, pupil-less eyes staring intently at him.
Minato turned his head to the side: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Nothing much."
The demon turned his head away again without saying anything.
"Is he angry because we called it tentacles?"
Minato glanced awkwardly at Gyuki and whispered in Matatabi's ear.
"Probably not."
He chuckled softly and moved swiftly.
It probably knows what's going on.
The Sage of Six Paths prophesied that one day they would receive proper guidance, understand what true power is, and that someone would appear who could truly understand them.
Clearly, in Niugui's view, Minato was the person the old man was talking about.
Not only the Ox-Demon, but also the Traveler thought so.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have stayed by Minato's side just because he was good-looking.
"Minato, what do you plan to do after releasing the Tailed Beasts?" Matatabi asked curiously.
"I'm planning to start a new training program."
Minato thought for a moment. Apart from Sage Mode, his skill bar was already full. It was time to start training in Sage Mode.
Furthermore, if one can master Sage Chakra, it will be helpful for Orochimaru's later research, and it will also save him from having to create that bizarre cursed seal.
"I like a peaceful and stable life, but there are always threats in the ninja world," Minato said helplessly.
"With your strength, there's nothing in this world that can threaten you anymore, right?" the bull demon asked, puzzled.
"Of course there is. Although I haven't witnessed it, if you combine the power of all nine tailed beasts, it should unleash some terrifying force, right?"
As soon as Minato finished speaking, both Ushioni and Matatabi's expressions changed.
"How did you know that?" the bull demon asked.
"The ancient texts of the Senju clan record that the Sage of Six Paths once subdued a being called the Ten-Tails. Although a thousand years have passed and this story has been regarded as a myth, you couldn't have been created out of thin air by the Sage of Six Paths. I guess there must be some kind of connection between you and the Ten-Tails."
Minato calmly said, "Furthermore, ancient texts also record that the Sage of Six Paths distributed chakra to people and founded the Ninja Cult, but he was only the disseminator. The source of chakra came from his mother, Kaguya-no-Mae."
"Then where does Kaguya's chakra come from? Is there a deeper source?"
"Could it be that you're worrying unnecessarily?" Niu Gui thought Minato was overthinking things.
"I hope so."
Minato didn't say much; it was too early to talk about these things now.
He gazed into the distance, and the walls of Iwagakure Village came into view.
唳—
Accompanied by a loud eagle's cry, figures rushed out of the village and quickly formed a ninja force of over a thousand people.
Above the city wall, Onoki emerged gracefully and arrived in front of the ninja squad.
Seeing this, Minato gently patted Matatabi's head, and Matatabi slowly slowed down, with Yao also stopping beside him.
"It's been a long time, Ōnoki-senpai."
Minato stood atop Matatabi's head, his gaze fixed on Onoki suspended in mid-air.
"You're here for the tailed beasts of Iwagakure, aren't you?"
Onoki's face was grim; he hadn't expected Minato to arrive so quickly.
"Aside from the tailed beasts, there doesn't seem to be anything in Iwagakure that would make me make a special trip here, does there?"
Minato gently extended his hand: "Please hand over the Tailed Beast to me. Iwagakure and Konoha are still enemies. If you refuse, I will not hold back this time."
"..——"
Onoki's face turned ashen. He never expected that Minato would ask him for money without even making an excuse, and even threaten him, an old man!
"If I were to hand over the Tailed Beast to you—"
"Then I'll leave immediately, without causing any trouble."
As Minato spoke, he seemed to remember something and added, "Of course, we also need to lift the pressure on Konoha, otherwise I, a rogue ninja—"
"That kind of thing was abolished a long time ago!"
Onoki was furious. As soon as he learned that Minato had come to Kirigakure to block the gate, all the countries immediately withdrew their pressure on Konoha.
He beckoned to the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, both of whom looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. One had orange hair, and the other was covered in armor. They were none other than Rōshi and Kan.
Because the two giant beasts, Matatabi and Gyuki, were right there, Onoki didn't dare to make any small moves and let Minato pull the two tailed beasts out of their bodies.
"Aww—"
As soon as the four tails were extracted from Old Purple's body, they pounded their chests and roared.
The five tails didn't cause much of a commotion; only the wildly waving of its five tails revealed its excited mood.
Seeing the four tailed beasts gathered together, Onoki waved his hand, signaling the ninja forces to retreat, but not too far, for fear that Minato might suddenly order the tailed beasts to spray tailed beast balls at Iwagakure.
The Two-Tails and Eight-Tails might not do that, but the Four-Tails and Five-Tails would definitely be happy to do so.
Fortunately, the two were very considerate of Minato, leaving behind the tailed beast's chakra before departing without causing any trouble for Iwagakure.
Seeing that Onoki was so sensible, Minato didn't hold it against him and headed towards the Land of Wind with Matatabi and Gyuki.
Watching the two giant beasts depart, Onoki felt increasingly aggrieved.
Is there really no one in the world who can handle Minato Namikaze?!
"Send someone to Konoha to sue for peace. We, the Hidden Stone Village—will not fight anymore."
Onoki sighed deeply, his face full of exhaustion.
Minato Namikaze is very handsome, but he really doesn't want to see that face again.
