Naruto: Becoming a God by Intercepting Kamui

Danzo came straight to the point, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Huruzen, we must catch the Vulpix this time!"

"Minato is already working on this. Since the Vulpix has come to our door, we will naturally not be polite." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Danzo and said lightly, "It can also be used as a bargaining chip in the negotiation with Kirigakure."

Danzo walked up to the desk of the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and said sternly, "Huruzen, are you still planning to return the Vulpix to Kirigakure?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo deeply and said, "It depends on the situation. It depends on how much benefit Kirigakure can give up."

"Hmph~" Danzo snorted coldly, and said: "What qualifications does Kirigakure have to negotiate now? The Three-Tails is dead, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is also dead. What can a mere Third-Kage Mizukage accomplish?"

"I think that if we catch Vulpix in the future, there will be no need to return it to Kirigakure. It's just right to keep it at my root."

Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said confidently:

"With the means of my Root, we in Konoha will definitely have an extra trump card in the future."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Whether you can stay depends on the attitude of other ninja villages. It's not that you can stay just because you want to."

"Do you think Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sandagakure will allow our Konoha to have another tailed beast?" Sarutobi Hiruzen supported his chin and said lightly.

What Sarutobi Hiruzen said was indeed true. The tailed beasts existed as the trump cards of the major ninja villages. The other ninja villages would definitely not allow the current Konoha to have another tailed beast.

“Haha…” Danzo sneered, “Isn’t this matter simple? I have plenty of ways to make Kirigakure ‘voluntarily’ give up the Vulpix.”

"You'd better stay calm and don't try to cause any trouble for me."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Danzo coldly and said in a deep voice:

"Now is the end of the war. We can't drag this war on any longer. After a series of wars, we in Konoha are in urgent need of recuperation."

"Huruzen, at a time like this we should keep the tailed beasts in Konoha. The stronger we are, the more they will behave themselves!"

Danzo's expression turned ugly. He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting in the position of Hokage with a suspicious look:

"If you return Vulpix to Kirigakure, you'll regret it sooner or later!"

"Hehe... Danzo, your vision is still too short-sighted!" Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered and said, "I am the Hokage!"

"You!" Danzo was suddenly speechless, then he turned and left with a cold face and full of anger.

Looking at Danzo's departing back, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. Danzo was a short-sighted person and he usually used his vision to deal with some inconvenient things.

When faced with really big things, Danzo is no longer able to do it because he has no sense of the overall situation.

In the current situation, can the tailed beasts be swallowed whenever they want? How could other ninja villages agree?

If things go wrong, a full-scale ninja war will surely break out.

Some things cannot be done just because you want to. Although Konoha is strong, it is not easy to withstand the siege of other ninja villages.

This is no longer the era when the first Hokage can sweep the ninja world on his own.

Although Konoha now seems to be thriving with the emergence of high-level combat forces, it seems that the industry is booming.

However, as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood that the training of Konoha's backbone, the Chunin and Genin, had long been exhausted due to the continuous wars.

In this war, Konoha fought against Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure successively, and the casualties among the middle and lower ninjas were heavy.

The speed at which ninja schools train Genin cannot keep up with the speed at which they are consumed in war.

If the fighting continues, Konoha will face the situation of having no soldiers available.

"But the Uchiha clan..." Thinking of the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the table unconsciously and murmured, "This clan is really full of talents. First there was Uchiha Fugaku, then there was Uchiha Shisui, and recently there was Uchiha Akira..."

As for the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen has not fully trusted them since he succeeded to the throne.

Mainly because of his previous criminal record, it was difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen to trust the Uchiha 100%.

During the time when Tobirama Senju was Hokage, the Uchiha clan once attempted a coup.

Although the coup was easily quelled, the impact of this incident was still far-reaching, causing the Uchiha clan to no longer be 100% trusted by the top leaders.

During the tenure of the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan also had an Uchiha Kagami who served as the Hokage's bodyguard, and he was barely able to enter the core.

But by the time of the Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan was completely excluded from Konoha's core system.

Having learned from previous experiences, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always been wary of the Uchiha clan.

"The Uchiha clan has placed all its weight on Minato..." Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were deep, his mind was full of thoughts, "Well, if Minato is elected, the Uchiha clan's problems will be left to him to solve."

Minato Namikaze is a very good-looking ninja. If nothing unexpected happens, the candidate for the fourth Hokage of Konoha will be between Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru is getting too close to Zuijiao and Danzo." Thinking of his favorite disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

Danzo is a guy who keeps making small moves. There's definitely nothing good that can happen if he gets involved with Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself, "We need to make him pay attention. If he wants to become Hokage, he has to walk in the sunshine instead of hiding in the shadows."

On the other side, after Uchiha Ming returned home, he immediately used summoning techniques to summon a ninja cat.

They are the Uchiha clan's long-term partners, the clan's source of intelligence, and the source of ninja tools and weapons.

Uchiha Ming's goal was to purchase some containers for cultivating the flesh and blood of Vulpix's severed tail through the channels of Granny Cat.

This kind of medical equipment is basically not available in Konoha.

The flesh and chakra separated from the tailed beasts can be cultivated secondary. Many people know this and it is not a secret.

Previously, Orochimaru used the powder scraped from the horn of the Eight-tailed Gyu-ki to successfully cultivate the horn of an Eight-tailed Gyu-ki.

Later, Kazuma, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, collected the Nine-Tails' chakra on the Nine-Tails' Night and created a fake Nine-Tails Jinchūriki after cultivating it.

This shows that this is not something too secretive.

The difficulty does not lie in the method of cultivating the flesh and chakra of the tailed beasts, but in how to obtain the flesh and chakra of the tailed beasts.

The chakra of the tailed beast that has solidified into flesh and blood will not dissipate but will stabilize.

While Uchiha Ming was waiting for the arrival of the Vulpix's cultivation container, in a secret underground cave.

Uchiha Obito, who has transformed into Uchiha Madara, is quietly listening to his subordinate White Zetsu's report on the war situation.

Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito who was wearing a tiger-patterned mask and said, "Obito, should we go and catch the Vulpix? This is a very good opportunity."

"Now I am Uchiha Madara!" The masked Uchiha Obito glanced coldly at Black Zetsu and said, "Do you know where the Vulpix is?"

Black Zetsu showed a hint of smile on his dark face, and said respectfully: "Master Madara, White Zetsu has found where Vulpix is ​​hiding."

"Alright." Uchiha Obito nodded and said, "This Vulpix can be considered as a gift for meeting Nagato. It's not good to meet him empty-handed."
