Back in the Hokage's office.
Maples poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips, and flipped through the documents on the table.
Since Konoha is now a three-level decision-making body, there aren't many documents that will be reported to him. Generally, he has to make decisions himself, such as the promotion of Jonin, the transfer and use of large amounts of funds, etc.
Shikaku Nara and the heads of the various departments in the village are the first level of decision-making. They can basically decide all kinds of trivial matters in the village, and some of the higher-level decisions will be reported to Tsunade, who acts as a consultant.
In the end, if Tsunade can't make a decision, she will hand it over to him.
"Huh?"
After Maples flipped through the documents, one of the pieces of information caught his attention, making him slightly surprised, he picked it up and looked at it carefully.
The information was about the Takigakure.
The Takigakure was just established among the five great ninja villages. Before the first ninja war, it was second only to the five great ninja villages. It can be said that it was the sixth great ninja village.
The Nanabi.
In the subsequent war, the Waterfall Village gradually declined and was replaced by the Rain Village, which was second only to the Five Great Ninja Villages, and was later destroyed by Kaede.
Because the Takigakure has always had a good relationship with Konoha, even though it borders the Land of Fire, Konoha hasn't taken any action against the Takigakure. But recently, Konoha has begun to actively exert pressure to make the Takigakure an affiliated village of Konoha.
The process of unifying the ninja world without bloodshed is impossible.
Maples has a gentle side, but he also has a strong and ruthless side. He basically eradicated all the ninjas who resisted. In his eyes, the most important thing is the civilians who far outnumber the ninjas.
How to make these civilians not suffer from the war and looting in the process of annexation is what Maples considers. As for the resistance of other villages, he doesn't care at all.
Because it's all meaningless resistance.
In the information, it's not that there is a conflict between the Takigakure and Konoha, but that the Takigakure is very uneasy under the pressure of Konoha. Especially when the Nanabi's Jinchuriki is old, it's difficult to use the power of the Jinchuriki well, so they decided to replace him as soon as possible.
In the end, the hasty replacement caused problems. Because the sealing technique wasn't strong enough and there was a flaw in the process, Seven Tails broke out of the seal and went berserk on the spot.
The Waterfall Village has experienced many Shinobi World Wars, and now the total number of Shinobi is only about a thousand, and the strongest Shinobi can't reach the level of one of the Five Kages, so they couldn't resist the Nanabi's rampage. In the end, the village was almost destroyed, and the Nanabi disappeared.
Of course.
It was not accurate to say that he had disappeared. After all, this was a village that had controlled Seven Tails for a long time. They had a way to track Seven Tails, but the problem was that they could not do anything to Seven Tails now.
With the village almost destroyed and the Nanabi out of control, the remaining part of the village quickly made a choice, that is, to surrender to Konoha.
"Seven-Tailed Halcyon …"
Maples looked at the contents of the report and thought for a moment, then called a Shadow Guard and ordered, "Accept the surrender of the Waterfall Village, inform Shikaku, let him dispatch 2,000 ninjas to the Waterfall Country and control the order of the Waterfall Country."
The news of the Waterfall Village being heavily damaged couldn't be concealed, and it was estimated that it would soon cause panic in the Waterfall Country, and all kinds of chaos would grow.
"Yes."
The Shadow Guard responded and immediately went to pass the order.
After a while.
In the Hokage's office, a black vortex appeared, and then Kakashi's figure emerged from the vortex and landed in front of Maples, and said, "Do you need me to go to the Waterfall Country? The Nanabi still needs to be controlled. "
"Don't go."
Maples stood up and stretched his body, and said, "Leave it to me this time, I haven't left the village for nearly three years, and if I stay here, I'll be like that fox. This time, I'll go out and do something."
Kakashi was slightly startled, and immediately thought for a moment, and said, "Brother, who are you going to take, Rin or Kurenai, or … I think it's best to take them all, otherwise, I may not be able to deal with the one left behind."
“？”
Maples looked at Kakashi, tilted his head and thought, "It seems that I haven't tested your cultivation for a long time, Kakashi, let's go, let's go to the back of the mountain, and let me see to what extent your Sage Mode cultivation has reached."
"Um … ah … that … I still have something to do … Next time."
After a moment of silence, the black vortex intertwined and wrapped around Kakashi's body, and he quickly disappeared.
After cultivating his Sage Mode to a certain extent, using the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Belt Soil has basically no side effects, but because he doesn't have the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, he can't exert the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan for the time being.
He still needed to cultivate the perfect Immortal Body and blend it with the power of the Kaleidoscope. Only then would he be able to achieve the Eternal level of eye power.
Maples shook his head.
Originally, he wanted to go out by himself, but after thinking about Kakashi's proposal, and the characteristics of the Nanabi are more suitable to become Kurenai's power.
Rin is now the Sanbi's Jinchuriki, so it's appropriate for Kurenai to become the Nanabi's Jinchuriki.
After a while.
Kurenai came to the office with a tray of tea and snacks.
Maples looked at Kurenai putting the tea and snacks on the table next to him, and called her, "Kurenai, come here."
"Huh?"
Kurenai looked at Maples and blinked.
Maples asked her to come over?
This means that he wants her to come closer. What does Maples want to do?
Does he want to …
With a lot of strange thoughts in her mind, Kurenai's cheeks were slightly flushed, but she didn't resist and walked towards Maples. Her shy and obedient posture was indescribable.
Maples looked at her and probably guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. It seems that Kurenai has been completely led astray by Anko.
This is the office, what shameful picture did she think of?
Maples opened the Tenseigan and looked at Kurenai, and reached out and held her wrist, and a strand of Chakra entered her body to check her physical condition.
Kurenai also learned Cell Activation Jutsu, but her Chakra hasn't reached the level of Kage, so she can't practice Senjutsu and Sage Mode.
"I don't know if it will work …"
After checking Kurenai's body, Maples showed a thoughtful expression.
If Kurenai has the Sage Mode, then even if it's just a preliminary Sage Mode, she can easily bear the power of the Bijuu, and there's no need to worry about the incompatibility.
But it's hard to say if it's just cell activation. If it's not compatible with the Nanabi, it will be difficult to become the Nanabi's Jinchuriki, even if the Nanabi is very cooperative.
However.
With him, as long as the compatibility isn't bad to the extreme, reaching a state of complete opposition like water and fire, she should be able to become a normal Jinchuriki.
"Maples … Hokage-sama …"
Kurenai can perceive Maples' Chakra entering her body, and noticed the luster in Maples' eyes, and realized that Maples was observing her body.
This made her body a little soft for a while, and she felt a burst of heat on her cheeks, and she wanted to retreat shyly, but there was a trace of expectation.
Maples released his hand and looked at Kurenai: "Kurenai, you go and prepare, I'm going to the Waterfall Country, this time you will be my escort."
"Huh? Okay, okay … "
Kurenai's heart was filled with surprise.
As Maples' escort, does that mean the two of them will go out together? Is this Maples's confession to her?
Happiness had come too suddenly, so much so that her voice trembled a little.
"…"
Looking at Kurenai leaving the office, Maples always felt that she may have even thought of the name of the child in the future.
