After Akane left me I did some small exercises and training then left there in the afternoon to the Uzukage's office.
...
After I ate my launch, I came to the Uzukage's office for little questions and update in news.
I knocked the door of his office. He allowed me in readily after he saw me.
After greetings and how I was doing nowadays I went straight to the important part.
I asked " Uncle how is the situation outside the village " with little bit of expectations.
He replied " the situation in the elemental nations is not faring well, it is estimated that major war will begin within six months " while Frowning.
I replied " how did it get so much intense and why the war suddenly. Beside what's going on in the village " looking for answers.
His expression soured and said " Do you want to be Konoha Jinchuriki? " while looking at me seriously.
I got quite puzzled and said " Why the sudden unusual and unexpected questions besides I wouldn't want to be Konoha Jinchuriki or even a Jinchuriki in any way " while thinking seriously.
I got the gist of his question and where the conversation was going in. I thought maybe the guest that Akane was escorting was Konoha's people.
He sighed and said " well Konoha sent delegation and leading figure is the hokage himself, they are coming here in discussion of the Jinchuriki's candidate and it was between you and my daughter Kushina who is supposed to their target and choice " while worrying.
I said to him " Uncle even if you offered me, they wouldn't take in because they want someone that could be controlled or perhaps someone young that can be manipulated and even more so that is not a male. Since that said male can form his own clan once he married others and they don't want new clan in their midst even more so a major clan like the Uzumaki clan " while not getting a breath.
He looked thoughtfully and thinking but he ultimately nodded and agreed with my
notion.
He said " You are right, they are cunning and they can't tolerate what they can't handle " as he nodded.
He continued " besides that the village is currently under orders not to display too much abilities like the ninjas and they have to behave like civilians so I had them place the chakra suppression seals on themselves so that they can look like civilians " I liked this.
I liked the idea of always having an unknown trump card but only on my side, otherwise it would be a pain in the ass.
He continued " they likely came for many reasons one being the Jinchuriki's vessel and others being spying or planting spies in the village " I agreed with him.
Surveillance is nothing not something unheard of in konoha, they will be spying on you and call it for the safety measures.
He concluded saying " that's why I had the villagers act as a normal civilians without knowing chakra until they finish snooping and sniffing around in form of tourism and looking around the village " not looking happy.
I asked " so you are planning on sending Kushina anyway " looking puzzled.
Kushina has been my younger sister for many years now. Every now and then that I visit his house I would play with her since she got a little bit older now.
She has not been troubling me now for almost a year. She used to trouble me almost daily. She stopped that because she has been studying under her mother Anna Uzumaki.
Ever since she could feel her chakra she was busy studying and only trouble me when I go to their house. Simply put she was a little bit annoying little sister.
I thought he would deny their request for Jinchuriki candidate.
He said " Yes, I will send her to konoha because it would be safe for her there and since I don't know if the situation you described in your dream will come true, so this was double insurance incase that situation came to pass but if we survived safely we would just bring her back later at any time " sounding serious.
I was amazed by his intentions and intellect. I was not thinking from the parents view point of the situation. He is right both as a leader and as a father but what is this weird feeling that I have which I think it is wrong.
He continued " while they are here I will give you a mission which is to observe and spy on all of them except the hokage himself because I think he might detect you " I nodded seriously.
He continued " while you are doing this, you should be outside of the village because I want you observe them in full view point of the whole situation and report to me once they leave. This will be your mission since you have quite the big range of Kagura's Mind Eye " it sounded weirdly but I
obeyed.
The Uzukage was saying in thoughts: if I let you stay in the village you might have a conflict with them that's why I gave you this nonsensical mission because there are many others who will be observing them.
If I heard this I would have laughed because I never had much hostility to show openly infront of them but i used hostility when I was younger to show my determination for you to believe me.
I replied " Okay, I should prepare myself for the mission. So when will it start " curiously.
He said " within three days so prepare well ahead of the mission and know this will be your solo mission " I laughed at that and nodded.
I said see you again and left the office. I began thinking what I should prepare and add to my schedule since I temporarily stopped my training.
Maybe I should go for fuinjutsu since the war starts pretty soon. It is need to be noted that I already prepared more than nine hundred million Paper Explosion seal tags. Even though I slacked a little bit in creating them.
