Chapter 278: Nine-Tails Jinchuriki
"This is the Nine-Tails jinchuriki!"
Nara Shikaku turned his neck, locking his gaze on the figure in the middle of the conference room that was wantonly radiating its own light.
"This is way too exaggerated!"
Looking at the other's current state, Nara Shikaku sucked in a breath of cold air.
Somehow, he thought of his hot-tempered wife. Namikaze Minato, when usually facing someone like Kushina Uzumaki, what kind of mindset does he have?
Can he really hold it?
He silently mourned his good friend for three seconds, Shikaku bumped the shoulder of Ryoma beside him, signaling him to help his boss, while breaking the eerie atmosphere in the conference room.
Aburame Ryoma obviously understood his meaning, but his feet didn't move at all.
At this point, what kind of joke is this? Doesn't he know his boss's temper?
The most embarrassing scene of himself, seen by himself, he even wondered if the other would suddenly assign him a high-difficulty task or something……
However, with so many people on the scene seeing this, it's probably not a big problem, but if I were to speak up first, the other would definitely not thank me.
Also, the parasitic insects inside his body were all silent, as if they had lost their lives, with no movement at all.
They were all scared enough by Kushina Uzumaki.
He really didn't want to face her anger at this moment.
"Kushina Uzumaki, calm down a bit, Lin will be fine, I and the Third Hokage will properly handle this!"
After all, it was Namikaze Minato, the future Fourth Hokage, who understood the situation and began to soothe the fiercely angry Kushina Uzumaki.
Only he present had the qualification to say something that she would listen to.
"Is that so?"
But this time, Uzumaki Kushina did not obey him as before; instead, she turned her gaze toward the Third Hokage.
It seemed she was waiting for his answer.
"... Don't worry, Kushina Uzumaki, this time no one will abandon Yeyuan Lin."
After a long silence, the Third Hokage spoke and promised.
In the current situation, first soothe her, then talk; as for Lin's safety…… the Third Hokage's gaze drifted to the silent Shimura Danzo beside him.
He was already standing properly in the conference room at this time; earlier, he had merely underestimated the sudden chakra burst of Kushina Uzumaki, otherwise he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
But although he was standing here, his complexion…… even the Third Hokage, an old friend, had never seen such a 'spectacular' side of him.
"This is best!"
After scanning the surroundings, she focused on Shimura Danzo, and Kushina Uzumaki retracted the Nine-Tails' chakra.
She also knew that causing a big scene here, targeting Shimura Danzo etc., wasn't a big problem; she is the important Nine-Tails jinchuriki of Leaf Village, and has that capital.
But she also needed to know when to stop; otherwise, if she went too far, it wouldn't be good for herself, Lin, or Namikaze Minato.
"Lin! Let's go!"
Returning the chakra to the Nine-Tails, she became her lively self again, taking the presence-less Yeyuan Lin out of the conference room.
At the same time, in her mental world, she said thanks to the Nine-Tails lying asleep.
This matter really owed to its cooperation; if it had thrown a tantrum, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
But the Nine-Tails' attitude still made her furious as always.
"Minato! You come too, properly soothe Kushina Uzumaki."
Seeing the source of the matter had already left the scene, even the Third Hokage felt relieved.
He directly ordered, letting Namikaze Minato accompany Kushina Uzumaki for a while.
"Kushina Uzumaki is too rude! Deeply sorry……"
Seeing that the meeting couldn't continue, Namikaze Minato bowed again to all the Leaf Village high-ranking officials present, his attitude becoming even more respectful.
However, this time no one spoke to comfort him.
"Hiruzen, you've also seen the Nine-Tails jinchuriki's performance; before, it could be said she was young and unaware, but this matter…… we can no longer let her run wild like this!"
Seeing that the people in the conference room had mostly left, only a few of his companions remained; Shimura Danzo spoke again, directly pointing at Uzumaki Kushina.
"Yeah! Hiruzen, they completely didn't put us in their eyes; is this still the behavior a Leaf Village ninja should have?"
Seeing Sarutobi just puffing on his pipe with his head down, Zhuǎnqìn Xiǎochūn also began to echo Danzo's opinion.
"Also, Namikaze Minato isn't the Hokage yet; if he becomes the Hokage's wife, who knows what will happen!"
Seeing Sarutobi just smoking, not responding at all, Shimura Danzo stubbornly added a line.
"The only thing disappointing him was that his companions this time did not echo his opinion."
"The Nine-Tails is different from other tailed beasts; its power, I believe you've just felt, is not something ordinary people can bear,"
"Even among the Uzumaki clan, those who can bear it are few and far between. Moreover, their performance just now isn't exactly what we've been expecting, right?"
After taking a few puffs to finish the tobacco in the pipe, the Third Hokage spoke calmly.
Although Kushina Uzumaki's outburst made him angry, from another angle, it might not be a bad thing.
Before, when she entered the Nine-Tails chakra mode, there would always be big or small problems, very unstable.
But this time her performance was very perfect.
As for Namikaze Minato's Hokage position……
After glancing at the ugly-faced Danzo beside him, the Third Hokage directly ignored this topic.
"Hmm! What Sarutobi said also has some merit, but this kind of thing must not happen again."
Suimon En, who had not expressed an opinion all along, seeing that the discussion was nearly over, agreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's view, but such an embarrassing matter still needs to be stopped.
If Kushina Uzumaki keeps losing her temper from time to time, how could an old man like him endure it? He really can't withstand her torment.
Even Zhuǎnqìn Xiǎochūn beside him didn't continue to fuss over Kushina Uzumaki's matter.
Just as Sarutobi said, the Nine-Tails is truly not trivial; finding a suitable jinchuriki is really too hard.
Even if they found someone, the other party might not necessarily be able to reach Kushina's level.
Moreover, now is wartime; the other party's some flaws are utterly insignificant in the face of absolute strength.
They surely can't possibly spend another dozen years to retrain a new jinchuriki, right!
By then, even the yellow flower vegetable would be cold!
