The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 165 Wrestling

Everyone in Konoha knows this.

Theoretically speaking, the strongest fighter in their village is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

But in reality, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was still a child of just over seven years old.

Not only is it unable to control the power of the tailed beasts, but there was also a previous incident where the Nine-Tails went berserk.

The Konoha leadership, led by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was completely unable to control the situation.

It was only thanks to the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan that the rampaging Nine-Tails was brought under control.

But that was just a case of things going berserk.

If the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were handed over to the Uchiha clan directly, it would be tantamount to handing over the nuclear launch button to the Uchiha clan.

Both Koharu and Mitokado's expressions changed.

However, the Third Hokage remained calm: "Chiyo, although your Uchiha clan has made a great contribution in repelling the enemy this time..."

"However, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki needs time to grow. If a human were to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, uncontrollable risks would occur."

The Third Hokage stopped speaking there, wanting to see how Chiyo would play his cards.

Qian Yao forced a smile: "The Third Hokage did issue a statement saying..."

"With the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan controlling the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will never go berserk and hurt people."

"If the Nine-Tails is no longer under the control of the Uchiha clan, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki goes berserk, we won't know what will happen, and the one who will suffer the loss will be Konoha Village."

As soon as Qianyao spoke, the elders below whispered among themselves.

What Uchiha said makes a lot of sense.

The Third Hokage wanted the Uchiha clan to use their Mangekyou Sharingan to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, yet he didn't want the Uchiha clan to get close. This was inherently illogical.

When the Third Hokage made the announcement, the Uchiha clan revealed that they possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, there are no relevant battle records, and he still regards Kaleidoscope as a master on par with Jiraiya, so he still has some room to speak.

However, this time the Uchiha defeated Yugito of Kumogakure and the AB duo, captured the One-Tailed Jinchuriki alive, and even broke one of the Raikage's arms.

It can be said that Uchiha Chiyo's martial prowess was basically at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Now, you can imagine how much weight his words carry.

The third generation frowned, deep in thought, and remained silent for a moment.

Uchiha Chiyo smiled and continued to increase the stakes:

"As the principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, I am always responsible for the teaching work of the academy, so it is normal for me to meet with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Could it be that the Third Hokage is planning to keep the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki locked up at home forever?"

"Third Hokage, you need to understand this: the Nine-Tails has never gone berserk."

"But after the conflict between our Uchiha clan and Danzo, your Anbu went berserk while they were guarding the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Everyone knows the relationship between your Dark Division and Root."

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not under our Uchiha jurisdiction, so it's hard to say who did it when it went berserk."

The elders below all knew, of course, that Root was originally an organization that trained talent for the Dark Division.

However, things changed completely after Danzo took control of the Root organization.

If Danzo really did have people in the Anbu, then some things might really be possible.

Koharu Utatane angrily retorted, "Impossible! The Anbu protecting Naruto has absolutely no problem."

Qian Yao's face was full of mockery: "You say you don't have it, and you don't?"

"Then you explain why the Nine-Tails went berserk."

Koharu was speechless for a moment. Even the Third Hokage and Jiraiya couldn't find the problem, so how could she possibly know?

Many elders in Konoha follow the crowd, but what they really need is a stable environment.

If you are strong enough to ensure a stable environment in Konoha, then everyone will naturally respect you.

If your people could cause chaos in the village, then I'm sorry, nobody will support you.

The families of everyone present suffered losses during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

It is impossible to remain indifferent to this.

Moreover, Chiyo's statement is called reasonable doubt, and you, the Third Hokage, cannot simply pretend you didn't hear it.

The Third Hokage was now in a precarious situation; he would never allow the Uchiha clan to control the Nine-Tails.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "It is still unclear who controlled the Nine-Tailed Fox's chaos back then."

“But he is definitely from your Uchiha clan. It’s not certain whether this person is hiding within your clan.”

"Therefore, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cannot be given to your Uchiha clan."

The Third Hokage's tactic was to expose each other's weaknesses. If you say my people are no good, then all you need to do is point out that your Uchiha clan is more dangerous.

Qianyao didn't argue whether the person was Tibetan or not. As long as you are a suspect, those opportunists in the village will have concerns.

"Since neither we Uchiha nor your Anbu are suitable, let's hand this job over to someone else in the village."

The Third Hokage stared at Qian Yao and asked, "Qian Yao, who do you think is suitable?"

Qian Yao spread his hands: "This is none of my business. As long as it's not the Anbu, anyone can keep an eye on us."

"But if Naruto goes berserk again, the person keeping an eye on him can handle it."

The Third Hokage was surprised that Chiyo suddenly decided to stop while he was ahead.

He pondered for a moment, realizing that no matter who it was given to, they would all lose actual control of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

But the Nine-Tails is useless to these people now.

As long as the Uchiha clan doesn't take control of the Nine-Tails for the time being.

As for the future, he has no time to think about it now. The Uchiha clan has become too powerful to be stopped.

But which ninja clan is suitable right now?

The Third Hokage scanned the room: "In that case, which clan is willing to take on this mission?"

The current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a hot potato. Even if there are any gains, it's impossible in the next few years. But if the Nine-Tails goes berserk, there will be accountability.

The elders looked at each other, their gazes then falling directly on the major families.

The elders of the Ino-Shika-Cho family, the Utatane family, the Mitomon family, and the Shimura family.

Leaving aside the transfer rooms and the Mitomon, there are also the advisors and elders.

As for the Shimura clan, it doesn't just consist of Shimura Danzo; in fact, the clan is quite large.

However, Shimura Danzo sucked the blood of his clan in his early years but did not give back to the Shimura clan at all.

The Shimura clan has also become less close to Shimura Danzo; on the contrary, they are closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Shimura Miyazuke, the clan head, also held the title of honorary elder, but he usually kept a low profile and generally followed the crowd.

After the Third Hokage circled around, he noticed that all the elders were sitting there with their eyes downcast, seemingly oblivious to everything.

He turned to look at Nara Shikaga; the Nara family was always clever, they should have a suitable solution.

"Luhe, what are your thoughts?"

Lu He opened his half-closed eyes with a hint of helplessness; he really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

But since the Third Hokage had spoken, he couldn't remain silent.

Shikaga looked around and said, "Hmm, there's a family that would be suitable for the Hokage, but they didn't come."

The Third Hokage instantly understood Shikaga's words: "You mean the Hyuga clan?"

Shikaga nodded: "The Hyuga clan possesses the Byakugan, which allows them to detect the flow of chakra at any time, making them the most suitable."

As he spoke, he glanced almost imperceptibly toward the Uchiha clan and gave the Third Hokage a meaningful look.

The Third Hokage lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then instructed the Anbu beside him, "Go and invite Hiashi over."

"Yes."
