Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

#221 - Chapter 221: The Five Kage Conference - Shukaku's Persuasion (3)

Shukaku's proactive appearance was definitely beyond Rasa's expectations!

Not only Rasa, but also Son Goku and Saiken, upon seeing Shukaku appear before them, had solemn expressions, their voices tinged with a hint of nostalgia.

"Long time no see, Shukaku!"

"What, have you, like that guy Son, also succumbed to humans?"

Emerging from his seal for the first time, Shukaku, far from displaying the typical irascibility seen in the plot, spoke with remarkable composure.

"Son, Saiken, I have no interest in reminiscing with you. The only reason I've appeared here is to tell you something."

As he spoke, Shukaku's plus-shaped pupils focused on Rasa.

"Although this human is as detestable as any other, if we tailed beasts were forced to choose a human to trust, this human would indeed be the best choice at present."

Upon hearing this, Saiken burst into wild laughter.

"Shukaku, you've truly succumbed to humans! You are a disgrace to us tailed beasts!"

Son Goku, on the other hand, wore a thoughtful expression as he asked.

"Why?"

"It's simple. I understand this human better than you do. From the moment this human first extracted my chakra, I've been observing him from within his jinchuriki. Furthermore, I've witnessed many things he's done. Although I still detest humans, I can confirm one thing: this human, and even Sunagakure, have no need to enslave us to gain power."

"Why?"

Son Goku asked the same question again.

"You should be able to sense it, right? The energy contained within this human's body and this forest is different from our chakra, even different from natural energy. They call it Sage Art energy."

"I see!"

Son Goku wasn't a fool.

If Rasa and the Sunagakure ninja were using a power completely different from chakra, then they indeed wouldn't need the tailed beasts' power. Of course, Son Goku couldn't be certain.

Saiken voiced the question in Son Goku's mind.

"Then why do you still need our tailed beast chakra?"

Rasa stated very frankly.

"Because the so-called Sage Art energy is transformed from chakra and natural energy. I need your tailed beast chakra as seeds to transform them into trees that can emit Sage Art energy, increasing the concentration of Sage Art energy in this world."

"Will this have any impact on us tailed beasts?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know!!!"

"!!!"

Rasa's candor left both Son Goku and Saiken somewhat stunned.

"Because I haven't done it yet. The Sage Art energy that has formed this Dragon Oasis mainly uses the dragon vein chakra from Roran and the demon魍魉's chakra from the Land of Demons."

Son Goku was shocked.

"In other words, you haven't even used Shukaku's chakra? But didn't Shukaku just say..."

"Because the tailed beast chakra I need is enormous. Given the state of old man Bunpuku at the time, he couldn't support me extracting that much tailed beast chakra."

"I see!"

At this point, the gathered tailed beasts had an initial impression of Rasa.

How to put it... not bad.

Cherishes his companions' lives, is honest, and possesses great power!

Although he also needs their chakra, he hasn't resorted to coercive measures.

Perhaps this is the most important thing to the tailed beasts!

Tailed beasts are also living beings; they also need respect!

However, they also had some doubts, namely, whether this so-called Sage Art energy would really not affect them?

Just as Son Goku was hesitating, Shukaku suddenly spoke.

"Since you can't be at ease, then let me be the first test subject!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing these words, not only were the two tailed beasts shocked, looking at Shukaku with disbelief, but Rasa was also taken aback, even harboring some doubts in his heart. Why was Shukaku suddenly so proactive?

However, he soon learned the answer!

Shukaku looked at the two tailed beasts and Rasa before him, the corners of his mouth lifting into a triumphant smile as he said.

"Haven't you sensed it yet?"

"!?"

"My chakra..."

In the plot, when Naruto mastered Kurama's chakra, there was a special training, which was to face the dark side of himself.

Where does this dark side come from?

It not only includes the discrimination encountered as a jinchuriki, which turned into resentment, but also the evil will within the tailed beast's own chakra.

For example, Kurama is known as the embodiment of hatred.

But when Kurama was first created by the Sage of Six Paths, it was also a cute little fox.

It was influenced by the hateful emotions of being captured, betrayed, and used by humans for thousands of years that it became what it is now.

Emotion is also a kind of mental power, and also a kind of power!

Hanataba's Kagura Shingan has the ability to sense this kind of emotion.

And the other tailed beasts are no exception, they are also affected by this evil power.

Although from the perspective of power, this evil emotion has a negligible impact on them, but in terms of spirit, it will still make the tailed beasts irritable.

But at this moment, both Son Goku and Saiken could feel the tranquility of Shukaku's chakra.

Even Rasa only noticed it after Shukaku's reminder.

Sure enough, compared to the Shukaku in Gaara's body in the future timeline, this Shukaku in Bunpuku's body is obviously much more peaceful, and the chakra is not so violent.

It seems that when Rasa absorbed Shukaku's chakra, although it did not form a chakra fruit, it still had some impact on Shukaku.

Of course, Bunpuku's influence also played a big role.

However, all in all, with Shukaku taking the lead, things will be much easier next...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fire Country, Konoha Village.

Minato didn't have to wait long. As the Hokage's guards, Yamashiro Aoba, Shiranui Genma, and Tatami Raidō brought good news from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure respectively.

The three Kage from these three villages all expressed interest in Konoha's proposed Five Kage Summit.

What Minato was more concerned about was the news from Iwagakure.

That is, in this incident of the Sunagakure's tailed beast rampage, it seemed that Iwagakure was also plotted against.

This is definitely the best possible news!

Making Minato increasingly confident in successfully initiating this Five Kage Summit!

Next, he only needs to persuade the most troublesome Kazekage of Sunagakure.

After this news came out, the higher-ups of Konoha were increasingly satisfied with this new Fourth Hokage.

Except for one person......

Konoha, Root Headquarters.

Danzo, who had once again lost the position of Hokage, had a gloomy expression like never before.

Minato is too young.

This means that as long as there are no accidents, Danzo, who is already sixty years old, has completely lost the chance to touch the position of Hokage.

Would Danzo be willing to accept this? Of course not, otherwise, he wouldn't be Danzo.

Thinking of this, he slowly got up and issued an order.

"Go and contact that demigod of Amegakure. This old man is going to pay him a visit..."
