If she becomes a Jinchūriki, the possibility of her dying alone in the future is too great. Not everyone is Mito Uzumaki, and not everyone is Hashirama Senju. There are very few powerful ninjas who can overpower tailed beasts and are not afraid of their partners suddenly going berserk. Kana doesn't think her partner will definitely be that strong.
Unlike Kana Hanazawa's hesitation, Minato Namikaze, after a brief moment of thought, immediately decided to become the Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki.
"In that case, Kushina won't be so lonely, given the same identity," Minato thought.
“Teacher An Yan, I am willing to become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.”
Minato's voice was firm. An Yan raised an eyebrow, glanced at the hesitant Uzumaki Kana, and said with a smile, "You'd better think it over. Once the Tailed Beast is sealed inside the body, the Jinchūriki will die if it is released again."
Minato smiled gently: "Teacher An Yan, I have almost mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. It will be quite difficult for anyone to break the seal on me."
"Okay." An Yan clapped his hands, then glanced at Uzumaki Kana: "Don't say the teacher didn't give you a chance, you hesitated on your own. You'll seal this memory for yourself later. You know how to do that sealing technique, right?"
Kana Uzumaki nodded and immediately cast a sealing spell, pressing it onto her head to protect this memory.
An Yan waved his hand: "If you have nothing to do, Cilantro, go back first. Minato and I have some things to take care of."
Kana Uzumaki nodded, and was then directly repelled by the spatial domain.
Once the figure of the whirlpool coriander disappeared, An Yan looked at the Six Paths Immortal Artifact in his hand, opened the Amber Purification Bottle, and the Eight-Tailed Gyūki instantly rushed out.
The colossal object completely filled An Yan's small domain space. Minato swallowed hard as he looked at the colossal object in front of him.
Can this thing really be inserted into his body? It can't possibly go in, no matter how you look at it, it can't go in!
The next moment, before the Eight-Tailed Gyūki could even unleash its fury, a huge, pale blue demonic hand pressed down on its forehead.
Enter the temple and lower your hands!
The eight-tailed ox-demon fell into a deep sleep. An Yan formed a hand seal and summoned an altar, gesturing for Minato to sit on it.
Minato sat cautiously in the center of the altar, looking at the many burning candles around him, wondering what An Yan would do next.
However, An Yan simply had Minato lift his clothes to expose his belly, and then used the Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique, instantly transforming the massive Eight-Tails into a torrent that rushed towards Minato Namikaze.
The moment the Eight-Tails entered his body, Minato Namikaze felt his entire body go numb. Heavy chakra surged into his body, making it hard for him to breathe, and he felt like he was living through an eternity.
However, after the Eight-Tails' entire body was sealed, Minato felt particularly relaxed, as if his physical abilities had been enhanced.
Seeing that Minato was in good condition after becoming a Jinchūriki, An Yan nodded in satisfaction. After thinking for a moment, he added:
"Minato, the Tailed Beast has a name. Try to befriend it. Also, after becoming a Jinchuriki, you must maintain a good mental state. This will help you suppress the Tailed Beast's chakra corruption. Before you reconcile, the Tailed Beast will keep trying to use its chakra to corrupt your mind and body in order to escape. If you feel anything is wrong, come find me immediately. Do you understand?"
Minato smiled gently and nodded: "Understood, Teacher An Yan."
Chapter 101 Tsunade is Pregnant
Minato Namikaze quietly became the Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki. No one else knew about this except for Kana Hanazawa, but Kushina Uzumaki did find out.
The main reason Minato chose to become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was to give Kushina a "companion" so she wouldn't be lonely. So when the two of them were together, Minato secretly told Kushina about it.
Kushina, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was under the 24-hour protection of the Anbu. However, Minato, now possessing extraordinary strength, had already determined her location through careful observation. After confirming that she was some distance away, Minato leaned close to Kushina's ear and whispered the matter to her.
"What! Minato, you actually did this for me..."
Upon hearing Minato's words, Kushina was so moved that tears streamed down her face. She threw herself into Minato's arms and sobbed softly.
After a slight start, Minato quickly recovered. He hugged Kushina tightly, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her, "It's alright, don't cry. You're not alone anymore. I'm here with you. You won't be lonely anymore."
Kushina nodded with teary eyes, but remained embracing Minato, showing no intention of separating.
While the young couple were cuddling together in the outside world, deep within the hearts of the Tailed Beasts—let's call it the Tailed Beast Chat Room—two old friends met.
"Kurama, it's been a long time." The Eight-Tailed Gyūki was the first to greet Kurama.
"Gyuki, how did you end up in Konoha too?" Kurama was quite surprised to see Hachimaru.
"Don't even mention it. I was inside a Jinchuriki in Kumogakure before, but I don't know what kind of scheme I fell for. When I opened my eyes again, I was sealed in an amber bottle. After staying inside for a while, I was suddenly released one day. Before I could even observe myself, I was immediately resealed."
The eight-tailed Gyūki recounted his story with a helpless expression, which made the nine-tailed Gyūki laugh.
"You've probably lost consciousness because you've been under a genjutsu. I've been in Konoha for many years, and I've heard that the Uchiha clan has produced someone called Uchiha Kagami, who has the same Sharingan as Uchiha Madara. I suspect that Uchiha Kagami was behind your situation."
Upon hearing Eight-Tails' words, Nine-Tails confidently began to draw conclusions as if he were an experienced person. Seeing this, Eight-Tails asked curiously, "Are you talking about the Sharingan that was controlled by Madara Uchiha before? I heard that it was the highest level Sharingan. How was it like fighting Hashirama Senju? That man was incredibly strong."
Upon hearing the Eight-Tails mention Hashirama Senju, the Nine-Tails immediately wore a pained expression and began to gesture dramatically.
"That idiot Hashirama Senju said I was too strong, then he summoned a wooden golem several thousand meters tall, which grabbed me with one hand. The key point is that this wooden golem had a thousand hands, and he only used one hand. How dare he say I was too strong? Can you understand how I felt at that time?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Eight-Tails felt uncomfortable all over.
"The First Hokage of Konoha truly deserves the title of God of Shinobi; the things he did were truly outrageous."
Eight-Tails felt a chill run down his spine, and he quickly changed the subject.
"Kurama, how's your current Jinchūriki status? What type is it? Is it fun?"
Upon hearing Eight-Tails' words, Nine-Tails sneered, "That brat, I'll kill her one day."
Inside the Nine-Tailed Fox's sealed space, golden diamond chains bound him tightly, making it truly difficult for him to even turn over.
Eight-tailed Fox smiled awkwardly, then suddenly brought up another matter.
"By the way, Kurama. Tailed beasts and their jinchūriki share the same senses. My current jinchūriki seems to be in a relationship with yours. What will we do if they get married?"
Nine-Tails understood what Eight-Tails meant. He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, the optimized Eight Trigrams Seal has already solved this problem. The sense-sharing function of the tailed beasts can now be turned off directly."
The Eight-Tails frowned and said, "I hope the Jinchuriki remembers to turn off sensory sharing when they get emotional, otherwise I'll go berserk."
The Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails continued chatting. They hadn't seen each other for many years, and it was a rare occasion for them to meet again. They were still in the same boat, so they had a lot to talk about.
On this day, Tsunade happily hugged An Yan and whispered something in his ear, which made An Yan tremble.
"You mean, I'm going to be a dad?"
An Yan was shocked. He and Tsunade had been married for some time and their sex life had never stopped, but Tsunade's belly had not shown any signs of pregnancy. An Yan thought it was because he was a transmigrator with special attributes and some hidden setting that prevented him from having children. He never expected that she would suddenly become pregnant.
Tsunade nodded happily, and An Yan excitedly picked her up and spun her around twice before gently putting her down. He then gave her a big kiss and asked excitedly, "How many months old are you, baby?"
Tsunade's face radiated maternal warmth. She touched her belly and smiled, "It's only been a month. I missed my period this month, and after checking myself, I just found out."
One month? That means the baby's position isn't stable yet. An Yan told Tsunade to rest from today onwards and to focus on giving birth first.
An Yan took over Tsunade's work at Konoha Hospital to prevent her from overworking herself and causing miscarriage.
Tsunade lived a life of ease, with everything done for her. Every day, she could take leisurely walks, bask in the sun, admire the flowers and trees, and occasionally have tea with her close friends. Her life couldn't be happier.
The days passed quietly under An Yan's careful watch.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was very considerate and didn't assign any tasks to An Yan and Tsunade during this time, allowing Tsunade to focus on her pregnancy.
During this time, Orochimaru was stationed at the front line, but no major battles occurred. The Cloud Ninja made a lot of noise but did little, sending a few small teams of ninjas to initiate minor skirmishes with the Leaf Ninjas every day, mainly to annoy them.
However, Orochimaru remained unmoved, even setting up a laboratory on the front lines to conduct human experiments, using enemy ninjas as his subjects.
Even so, Orochimaru's reputation gradually declined. Not only did the Cloud Ninja have reservations about him, but even the Konoha Ninja began to look at him with fear.
Even the Third Hokage heard about Orochimaru's glorious deeds and wrote a letter to reprimand him, telling him to conduct his experiments in secluded places and to be more discreet. Not everyone likes to watch live dissections. Killing is one thing, but dissections are too terrifying and truly challenge people's psychological limits.
Chapter 102 The Sky Ninja Attack
As time went by, Tsunade's belly grew bigger and bigger, and An Yan became more and more careful, fearing that something might happen.
However, what people fear most often comes to pass; this is the so-called Murphy's Law.
On this day, An Yan took Tsunade for a walk as usual. It was a lazy afternoon, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and dappling the ground. Villagers were coming and going on the streets, creating a peaceful scene.
Suddenly, a deep, persistent, and distinctive sound arose from the horizon. At first, the sound was faint, but then it gradually grew closer.
"Huh? What's that sound?" Many villagers looked up and saw something.
"What, what is that!" a child exclaimed, pointing to the horizon.
At the edge of the azure sky, countless black dots approached rapidly. Their outlines gradually became clearer, revealing them to be strangely shaped flying machines resembling birds. The cold flying machines gleamed with the texture of steel and hummed as they flew.
"It's the Sky Ninja! Enemy attack!"
The alarm sounded through the sky above Konoha. The sensory team issued a warning immediately. This was a suggestion that An Yan had made not long ago. I didn’t expect that Konoha would use the alarm system so soon after it was installed.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Before Konoha could react, the first wave of attacks arrived. The air ninja's attack was not a ninjutsu, but rather the throwing of specially made bombs.
The massive explosions reverberated throughout the village, hitting buildings one after another, and killing or injuring many civilians instantly.
Wood chips and rubble flew everywhere, houses collapsed, and the cries of civilians filled the air. The pungent smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of burning, and the entire Hidden Leaf Village was instantly reduced to a mess.
"Help!"
"Don't just stand there, run! Find cover!"
Fear spread like a plague. Civilians screamed and searched for cover. Children were terrified by the sudden scene and cried loudly. They were dragged around by their parents and the streets were in chaos.
And this is just the beginning.
The Sky Ninjas hovered low above Konoha, targeting the civilians, and began attacking with specially made weapons—kunai machine guns.
"Earth Escape - Earth Current Wall."
A quick-reacting Konoha ninja used Earth Release ninjutsu to protect several civilians, but immediately became the focus of the Sky Ninja's attention. A large number of kunai were launched at high speed, and the attack frequency was extremely fast, forcing the man to dodge in a sorry state.
"All civilians, get to the shelter immediately! Where are the medical team and medical ninjas?"
A Konoha Jonin shouted loudly, instantly attracting a concentrated attack from the Sky Ninjas. For a moment, the Konoha ninjas were caught off guard and confused. Konoha ninjas generally had few skills in aerial combat, and they were somewhat hesitant and unable to fight effectively against the Sky Ninjas.
Several ninjas attempted to throw shuriken, but the aerial ninja easily dodged them. The aerial ninja, positioned on higher ground, had the advantage of vision and initiative, making their attacks and defenses invincible.
"Damn it, they're flying too fast."
The Konoha ninja gritted their teeth inwardly. Just then, a ninja from the Aburame clan appeared on a high place, his arms outstretched, and countless black insects flew out of his body, transforming into rolling black clouds that attacked the sky ninjas.
"Insect Secret Technique - Parasitic Insect Cluster".
The air ninja clearly hadn't expected Konoha to have ninjas capable of attacking from the air. Caught off guard, seven or eight of their ninjas were killed. The flying machines seemed to have had something bitten off by the parasitic insects, and they fell from the sky emitting black smoke.
"Well done, Zhiwei!" The Konoha ninjas were clearly invigorated, and their morale was boosted.
However, the number of aerial ninjas remained large. They changed their strategy, increasing their flight altitude and no longer focusing on killing Konoha ninjas. Instead, they used aerial bombs to cause destruction, leaving the Konoha ninjas somewhat helpless.
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was already standing on the roof. He had changed into a combat vest, his eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and his fists were clenched.
Looking at the chaotic scene in the village below, at the Konoha ninjas constantly rushing through the explosions and smoke to save people, and at the villagers falling in the explosions, his heart was filled with killing intent.
