NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 31: 031 Yagura's Attack
The women were stunned after reading this passage.
Especially Rin Nohara, who resided in the afterlife.
She had been engrossed in reading the diary, but upon seeing this part, her adorable face darkened with sorrow.
Rin Nohara's death was caused by the Hidden Mist Village forcibly turning her into the Three-Tails Jinchūriki to destroy the Hidden Leaf.
Of course, the real mastermind behind this was Madara Uchiha, who manipulated the Hidden Mist to push Obito into darkness.
To Rin Nohara, Tailed Beasts were entities that brought nothing but destruction and death.
How could becoming a Jinchūriki be considered a talisman for survival?
[At this point, Naruto Uzumaki is only one year old and cannot utilize the power of the Tailed Beast.]
[Furthermore, there is an even more critical reason.]
[That is the sealing technique Minato Namikaze used on him.]
[Besides the Eight Trigrams Seal, which combines the Uzumaki Clan's Four Symbols Seals, Minato also sacrificed his life to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.]
[It's important to note that the Dead Demon Consuming Seal was never intended to be used on a Jinchūriki.]
[Rather than saying Naruto cannot use the Nine-Tails' power, it's more accurate to say that the Nine-Tails within him cannot break free from the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, combined with the Eight Trigrams Seal's technique.]
[This means no one can extract the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body.]
Reading this, the women's pupils shrank in astonishment.
Could it be?
[As I deduced, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, after his battle with the masked man and expending all his chakra to redirect the Tailed Beast Bomb, knew his life was nearing its end.]
[By using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he wasn't just protecting the village; he was ensuring the safety of his son, Naruto Uzumaki, even after death.]
[In the current circumstances, where Naruto and the Nine-Tails cannot be separated, Naruto's death would also result in the Nine-Tails' demise.]
[While Tailed Beasts can be revived, the time and location are uncertain. Moreover, no one in the Hidden Leaf Village has the strength to recapture the Nine-Tails.]
[If the Hidden Leaf wants to retain the Nine-Tails as a strategic weapon, they must ensure Naruto's safety.]
"So that's how it is…"
The female ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village hadn't expected such a truth behind the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice.
Wait.
If what Night Star wrote was true, wouldn't that mean the Fourth Hokage didn't trust the village's leadership? Did he believe they might extract the Nine-Tails from his son after his death?
Initially, they thought the Third Hokage wouldn't do such a thing.
However, considering human experiments, suppressing the Uchiha Clan, and allowing Elder Danzo to secretly assassinate Uchiha ninja, they couldn't help but doubt it.
Losing the ability to use the Nine-Tails meant the Hidden Leaf lost a critical trump card.
Hiruzen Sarutobi sacrificed hundreds of ninja to create someone with Wood-Style abilities.
For the Nine-Tails' power, would he sacrifice Minato's orphan? It seemed entirely possible.
"Ugh, despicable!"
Tsunade clenched her fists tightly and spat lightly.
Even during her time in the Hidden Leaf, she had felt that many things were amiss.
Through Night Star is diary, Tsunade finally learned the truth about her master, Hiruzen Sarutobi that he was a man who would stop at nothing.
And this was just the tip of the iceberg.
How many other dirty deeds had Hiruzen Sarutobi committed in secret?
Tsunade had planned never to return to the Hidden Leaf in her lifetime.
But now, she had many questions that needed answers.
Was her brother Nawaki's death as simple as it seemed on the surface?
Tsunade frowned as she read the diary, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
What exactly did Night Star Uchiha discuss with Mei Terumī?
Why hadn't he written about it in the diary?
Could it be that the Uchiha Clan intended to ally with the Hidden Mist Village for a coup?
On second thought, Tsunade dismissed the idea.
The Hidden Leaf was built by the Uchiha Clan's own hands.
With their pride, no matter how much they desired the Hokage position, they wouldn't collaborate with the Hidden Mist, their enemy.
At this moment, Mei Terumī wasn't surprised to see her name in the diary.
She had already anticipated that since she had partnered with Night Star Uchiha, her name would appear in the diary.
There was one thing Mei Terumī needed to confirm.
Was she the only one in the Hidden Mist Village with a copy of the diary?
...
After recording this passage and resting for a while, Night Star stood up, ready to leave the cave and head toward Orochimaru's unit.
At that moment, he sensed an immense chakra rapidly approaching.
"Such chakra intensity… A Jinchūriki?"
He had long expected that the Hidden Mist leadership or rather, Obito, who controlled Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage wouldn't allow him to run rampant on the battlefield.
The question was whether it was the Three-Tails Jinchūriki, Yagura, or the Six-Tails Jinchūriki, Utakata, who hadn't yet become a rogue ninja.
Night Star walked out of the cave slowly and saw a short, childlike man approaching.
"Night Star Uchiha."
Yagura raised his staff, his seemingly innocent face radiating undisguised killing intent.
"Today, you will die by my hand."
