For Jiraiya, instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources in the village to protect Naruto, it is better to train Naruto into a perfect Jinchūriki like Rabbi Kumogakure.
This not only saves the manpower to protect Naruto, but Naruto himself can also become an important combat force of the village.
But compared to other tailed beasts, Nine Tails is really special.
Even the powerful Jinchūriki of the Uzumaki clan in the past could only suppress the Nine-Tails, but could not reach an understanding with the Nine-Tails and become a perfect Jinchūriki that could maintain their own will.
The 'Kyuubi Rebellion' that occurred later caused the senior management and even the entire village to have a deep fear of Kyuubi.
This is also why the village's senior officials are more connivant with Zuosuke.
Even if there were some doubts about his ability to control the rampaging Naruto, even if he was an Uchiha who was disliked and feared by the higher-ups, as long as he had the possibility to suppress the Kyuubi, then he was what the village needed.
And now, Yakumo has mastered the 'Wood Release'!
As we all know, the first generation not only brought peace to the troubled times of the Warring States Period, but also traveled around the world to seal the tailed beasts scattered throughout the ninja world one by one.
There is no doubt about the suppressive power of 'Wooden Release' on tailed beasts!
Yakumo, who has mastered the 'Wood Release', is equivalent to an insurance, an insurance that can suppress the rampaging Naruto anytime and anywhere.
And it was precisely because of this insurance that Jiraiya came up with the idea of letting Yakumo assist him and help Naruto practice to become a perfect Jinchuuriki.
Tsunade didn't reply to Jiraiya right away.
After all, Yakumo was her disciple, so she, the teacher, could not make up her mind for a while when Yakumo, who was now only eight years old, was asked to face the rampaging tailed beast.
But she also understood that Jiraiya's proposal was beneficial to the village.
Jiraiya saw this: "You should think about it carefully!"
Tsunade said solemnly: "Yakumo is not yet proficient in controlling the 'Wood Release', so it is not safe to let her face the rampaging tailed beast rashly."
"Hey!" Jiraiya sighed and said, "Yes, it is our dereliction of duty to let the children face such difficult things!"
Tsunade said: "I will consider this matter carefully."
In the next week, all the students in the Ninja School became busy because of the confrontation test.
Shinji is no exception.
In addition to studying Tsunade's fusion agent and inhibitor formulas and preparing for the next first-generation cell transplant, he also has to accompany Saosuke and Neji for actual combat drills from time to time.
In the evening, in a small forest.
Clang...
Clang...
Clang...
As harsh metal clashing sounds came from the forest, the faces of the people standing outside the forest all showed nervous expressions.
Sakura murmured: "I wonder what's going on inside?"
Naruto quickly complained: "Why don't you let us in? Zuosuke and the others look down on people too much!"
Tiantian said: "In the confrontation between the three of them, even if we enter, we will only hinder them."
undoubtedly.
The people fighting in the forest where the sound of metal clashing came from was none other than Shinji, Sasuke, and Neji.
Their teammates Naruto, Sakura, Tenten, Xiao Li, and Bai and Xianglan were waiting outside the woods.
Looking at the woods, Xiao Li was a little unwilling: "But I really want to fight with them!"
Tenten shook his head and said, "They are practicing tactics against Yakumo and Kimimaro. Even if we go in, we won't be of much use."
When she thought about having to fight Yakumo in the confrontation test, Sakura felt a little timid: "Tenten, did Neji explain the tactics to you?"
Tiantian said: "Not yet! What about you? Did Zuosuke say anything to you?"
Sakura looked disappointed: "Sasuke didn't tell us anything either."
Tenten looked at Shiro and Koro on the other side: "Did Shinji tell you anything about this confrontation test?"
"No." Shiro said, shaking his head: "I'm afraid even Shinji himself hasn't thought about the tactics right now! After all, what we have to deal with is the legendary 'Wooden Release'!"
Xiang Phosphorus on the side did not speak, still maintaining a small and transparent persona.
But no one knew that her eyes were moving again at this moment.
After a week of nourishment, the recovery of the completely damaged Mangekyō Sharingan in her eye sockets accelerated again as Shinji expected.
Now the fetal movement of the completely damaged Mangekyō Sharingan has become twice a day.
And every time after fetal movement, the vision of both eyes will recover one point, so now Xiang Phosphorus has recovered part of his vision, and his eyes are no longer just decorations.
In the forest.
Standing on the branch of a big tree, Shinji looked around.
At this moment, from the blind spot of his sight, there were two "swish" sounds, and two kunai with a cold light on their blades were shot out!
He turned slightly sideways and avoided the two kunai with ease.
However, the ends of the two kunai that passed by him were actually tied with two imperceptible steel wires, and under the drag of the steel wires, a string of ignited detonating talismans was brought out.
Peng Peng Peng...
In an instant, a series of explosions sounded in the forest.
not far away.
Kakashi, who was standing on a big tree and secretly watching the battle, shrank when he saw such a scene.
"Oops!"
Next to him, Shizune, who also came to watch the battle secretly, was shocked and rushed over to save people.
Such a killing move should not be used lightly even in confrontation exercises between chunin, because serious accidents may occur if not careful.
Kakashi stopped Shizune at this time and shook his head.
Shizune looked at Kakashi in confusion, and then followed Kakashi's gaze to the battlefield in the forest.
I saw Shinji jumping out of the smoke and dust of the explosion and landing firmly on the ground. He didn't seem to have any damage on his body.
"This..." After being stunned, Shizune asked Kakashi: "He...do they usually conduct confrontation training like this?"
Kakashi sighed helplessly: "These brats are like this, you just need to get used to them slowly!"
On the field.
As soon as Shinji fell from the smoke and dust of the explosion, Zuosuke, who had been waiting for an opportunity, jumped out of the grass in an instant, and suddenly pounced on Shinji from behind when he was about to fall.
But Shinji seemed to have a pair of eyes on his back. The moment Zuosuke rushed towards him, he immediately responded. He tapped his toes lightly on the ground, then quickly turned around and used attack for attack. Instead, he got in front of Zuosuke and hit Zuosuke. Caught off guard.
Peng Peng Peng...
In an instant, the two started a fierce close-quarters fight, and for a while, the sound of intensive fists and kicks echoed in the forest.
Zuosuke, who had already activated his Sharingan, quickly fell into a disadvantage.
He activated his three-magatama Sharingan to the extreme, but still couldn't keep up with Shinji's movements. He was shocked and angry in his heart: "Damn it, how could this happen!?"
