Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

Page 28

With a roar, Uchiha Kagami unleashed even more tailed beast chakra, as if a fifth tail was about to form.

"Wait a minute!!"

Onoki dispersed the Dust Release barrier and shouted urgently:

"In the name of the Tsuchikage, I promise Iwagakure not to invade the Land of Fire for six months! Just give me back Rōshi!"

The raging chakra gradually subsided, and it remained in the Four-Tails state.

"I will have someone return Lao Zi in a week."

"No way! What if you extract the Four-Tails? Don't try to play tricks on me!"

"Now...you leave."

Onoki gritted his teeth: "I am the Tsuchikage, after all. How can I break a promise I made in front of the Iwagakure ninja?!"

The chakra tail curled up and rose up.

“We’ll retreat to the border and then have someone bring him here alive.”

"This is my bottom line. If it doesn't work, then let's fight."

As he spoke, the ferocious tailed beast chakra overflowed once again.

Onoki took a deep breath and looked at Uchiha Kagami with a profound gaze.

"Boy, tell me your name."

"Uchiha Mirror."

"Yeah……"

"Uchiha Kagami, I hope we can meet again. You won this match."

Onoki slowly landed in the Iwagakure formation, gave the Konoha members a meaningful look, and then ordered them to retreat.

After walking a distance, a young man with the same big nose as Onoki approached.

"Father, even if it's the Nine-Tails, you can handle it, right?"

People in the ninja world don't have a direct understanding of the Nine-Tails. They know it's very strong, but they think it's at most capable of taking on two at once.

Onoki has a record of defeating the Four-Tails and Five-Tails combined!

Hovering in mid-air, he glanced sideways at the yellow earth and said coldly, "You want to become the Tsuchikage? You think I've lived too long, don't you?"

"No, no, no!" Huang Tu quickly waved his hand.

After a moment of silence, Onoki spoke in a low voice.

"I'm not sure if I can deal with the Nine-Tails, and there's no need for it."

"After you go back, spread the word about Uchiha Kagami's name and also tell people about Rōshi's defeat."

"Ah? This..."

Onoki narrowed his eyes slightly, a strange smile playing on his lips: "Do you know who I think of when I see him?"

Huang Tu hesitated for a moment; of course he knew his father's most painful memories.

"It's... Uchiha Madara?"

"Although he's far from being as good as the Uchiha Madara I've ever seen, he's still young..."

"That kind of guy..."

"The one who's most afraid of another Uchiha Madara appearing in the Uchiha clan isn't me..."

"It's Konoha!"

If Konoha were united and the Uchiha clan and Konoha's leadership were on good terms, Onoki would risk his life to keep those few people alive.

However, the reason he's here is because of information about that person in Konoha...

The Tsuchikage needs more than just strength; more importantly, he needs eyes that can see through the essence of things.

Unfortunately... Huang Tu was too foolish and not a suitable candidate.

Onoki truly envied Konoha, a place known for its abundance of talented individuals.

Konoha's White Fang, the Legendary Sannin, and now Minato Namikaze, Kagami Uchiha, and others—almost every few years a new batch of geniuses emerges.

At least Iwagakure doesn't have any high-ranking members who would willingly betray information about their comrades.

Even Konoha's White Fang was forced to leave; the Uchiha won't have such a good ending...

Onoki was very patient, wanting to see if the conflict between the two would erupt during this period.

"Then... Father, should we recall the people near the border of the Land of Fire?"

Huang Tu got a sharp rap on the head, and Onoki shouted in exasperation.

"Are you an idiot?! You really think I'd keep any verbal agreement?!"

Alliance treaties are just a piece of paper when necessary, let alone something as trivial as mere words.

"As long as Old Purple returns, we will station troops in the Land of Grass, ready to join the war at any time!"

Suddenly, a black eagle appeared in their field of vision and flew towards Onoki and the others.

This is a top-level communication hawk. What happened in Iwagakure?

Upon opening the message, Onoki's face turned bright red.

"Bastard! Idiot!"

"That dark-skinned monkey! How dare he!!"

"The Third Raikage has led his forces to invade the Land of Earth. The vanguard is already close to Iwagakure. Return immediately!"

I've only been out for two days, how did that guy Ai manage to seize this time difference?

It must have been that bastard who gave the information to the Hidden Cloud Village!

"Huang Tu! You stay behind to cover Lao Zi, the rest of you come back to the village with me at full speed!"

Damn it, I'm out jungling, and my base is about to be raided!

The border of the Land of Fire.

A female medical ninja, her palm glowing green, pressed her hand against Uchiha Kagami's back.

His entire body was covered in undamaged flesh, his skin corroded by the tailed beast's chakra, making him look extremely horrifying.

The superficial wounds are manageable, but the bones in my right hand are injured and will take some time to heal.

"Be careful not to get the wound wet. It's so badly injured... It must be a fire jutsu. You've really gone through a lot."

After bandaging the wound and explaining the dosage, the medical ninja left the tent.

"Jing, how are you feeling?"

Shuimen lifted the curtain and entered, his eyes filled with worry.

Uchiha Kagami's voice was somewhat distorted as he was wrapped up like a rice dumpling.

"Not bad, how about Lao Zi?"

"Leave it to the Iwagakure ninja." Minato sighed. "If it weren't for the Sunagakure incident, we could have taken this opportunity to kill the Four-Tails."

"It will take Iwagakure at least ten years to train a new Jinchūriki."

Konoha could easily defeat either Sunagakure or Iwagakure, and even fighting two opponents at once wouldn't be too difficult.

Once other ninja villages see this situation, they will definitely swarm in, creating a four-on-one situation.

"Orders have come from the village, saying that the war in the Land of Wind has reached a stalemate, and they want me to go and provide support..."

"Whose orders?" Uchiha Kagami asked calmly.

"Lord Danzo's order."

After a moment of silence, Minato's eyes turned cold.

"Mirror, you noticed it too, didn't you?"

Uchiha Kagami chuckled lightly: "He's targeting me. After he transfers you away, he might make a move against me."

"The appearance of the Third Tsuchikage this time is probably also his doing."

Uchiha Kagami calmly looked at Minato: "Jiraiya-sensei often told me that I should integrate into the village and truly become a part of Konoha."

“But, Minato-senpai… there are people in Konoha who do not want the Uchiha to exist.”

"Sitting idly and waiting to die is not in my nature."

"Given the chance, I will definitely kill Shimura Danzo."

"...He was...the Third Generation Lord's best friend..."

Minato Namikaze didn't care about Danzo Shimura's high-ranking position.

What troubled him was the complex relationship involved.

Strictly speaking, they should also call Danzo their grand-uncle.

Uchiha Kagami said nothing more, waiting for Minato to make his own decision.

If Minato chooses the Third Hokage's side, he won't show any mercy in the future.

The tent lights flickered silently.

After a while, Minato exhaled and revealed a warm smile.

"I'm not going anywhere until you get better."

"I will protect you, Kagami!"

Chapter 35 Su Nuo, You're Too Noisy

"By the way... can you tell me now what happened with your tailed beast transformation?"

Others may not know, but Minato certainly does.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is his girlfriend, when did she become his junior brother?

"I absorbed the Four-Tails' chakra."

"Can this still happen?"

Minato frowned: "Could it be that you've already taken the Four-Tails?"

“No.” Uchiha Kagami shook his head: “It’s very tiring to imprison a tailed beast with your own body, you should know that very well.”

In his opinion, the correct way to use the tailed beasts depends on Uchiha Sasuke.

They were imprisoned, and Susanoo was used as a container to hold their chakra.

If he were to emulate Naruto… the beard on his daughter's face already speaks volumes.

Besides, there's an untamed monster inside him. If he stuffs anything in there and the seal loosens, it won't be fun.

Minato sighed, feeling a pang of sadness as he thought of Kushina trapped within the barrier.

"Mirror... I want to become Hokage, I want Kushina to be able to live a normal life..."

"She's been under that kind of pressure... What should I do?"

Minato and Kagami had seen the Nine-Tails with their own eyes. That catastrophic monster inside Kushina was like a bomb that could explode at any moment strapped to her body.

Uchiha Kagami was silent for a moment, then asked a question.

"What are your thoughts on the First Hokage distributing the Tailed Beasts?"

Minato thought about it for a long time.

"At the time, it was the right decision."

"The First Hokage longed for peace, and the ninjas did not have the ability to rule the world. Using the tailed beasts as a deterrent to balance the various parties was a reasonable move."

"As he had hoped, the ninja world entered its longest period of peace in a thousand years during the First Hokage's lifetime."

Uchiha Kagami chuckled lightly: "But he didn't consider that what actually suppressed the world was never a tailed beast, but himself."

“Perhaps I’ve considered that, but people… will always die, but tailed beasts won’t.” Minato sighed and looked up at the mirror.
