Chapter 715

Back at the Hokage office.

Maple poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips, and flipped through the documents on the table.

Since the current Konoha is 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, and so on.

Shikaku and the various department heads of the village, as well as the elite Jonin, are the first level of decision-making, they can basically decide all kinds of trivial matters in the village, and some of the slightly higher levels will be reported to Tsunade, who serves as the consultant.

In the end, if Tsunade can't make a decision, it will be handed over to him.

"Huh?"

After Maple flipped through the documents, one of the intelligence caught his attention, making him slightly surprised, he picked it up and looked at it carefully.

The intelligence was about Takigakure Village.

Takigakure Village was just established among the five great shinobi villages, and before the first shinobi war, it was second only to the five great shinobi villages. It can be said that it was the sixth great shinobi village.

Seven tails.

In the subsequent war, Takigakure Village gradually declined, and the Rain Village replaced it, becoming a village second only to the five great shinobi villages, and then it was destroyed by Maple.

Because Takigakure Village has always had a good relationship with Konoha, so even though it borders the Land of Fire, Konoha has never taken any action against Takigakure Village, but recently it has begun to take the initiative to exert pressure on Takigakure Village, wanting to make Takigakure Village a subsidiary of Konoha.

It is impossible to unify the Shinobi world without bloodshed.

Maple has a gentle side, but he also has a strong and ruthless side. For the ninjas who resist, he basically has an attitude of eradicating them all. In his eyes, what is more important is the civilians who outnumber the ninjas.

How to make these civilians not suffer from the chaos of war and looting in the process of the country's annexation is what Maple considers. As for the resistance of other shinobi villages, he doesn't care at all.

Because it's meaningless resistance.

According to the intelligence, it's not that there was a conflict between Takigakure Village and Konoha, it's that Takigakure Village felt very uneasy under the pressure of Konoha. Especially since the Seven tails' Jinchuriki is getting old, it's difficult to use the power of the Jinchuriki, so they decided to replace it as soon as possible.

As a result, the hasty replacement led to a problem. Because the sealing technique wasn't strong enough, and there was a mistake in the process, the Seven tails broke out of the seal and went berserk on the spot.

Takigakure Village has experienced many shinobi wars, and now the total number of shinobi is only about a thousand. Even the strongest shinobi can't reach the level of the Five Kage, so they couldn't resist the Seven tails' rampage. In the end, the village was almost destroyed, and the Seven tails disappeared.

Of course.

It's not accurate to say that the village disappeared, because after all, it's a village that has controlled the Seven tails for a long time. They have a way to track the Seven tails, but the problem is that they can't do anything to the Seven tails.

With the village almost destroyed and the Seven tails out of control, the remaining people of Takigakure Village quickly made a choice, and that is to surrender to Konoha.

"Seven tails Shūmei …"

Kaede looked at the contents of the report and thought for a moment before summoning a Shadow Guard and passing the order, "Accept the surrender of Takigakure Village, notify Shikaku, and have him dispatch 2,000 shinobi to enter the Country of Long and control the order there."

It's impossible to hide the fact that Takigakure Village was destroyed, and it's estimated that the people of Long will soon be in a state of panic and chaos.

"Yes."

The Shadow Guard nodded and immediately went to pass the order.

A moment later.

In the Hokage office, a black vortex appeared, and Kakashi's figure emerged from the vortex and landed in front of Kaede, "Do you need me to go to the Country of Long? The Seven tails still need to be controlled. "

"You don't have to go."

Kaede stood up, 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 any longer, I'll end up like that fox. This is a good opportunity for me to go out and exercise a bit."

Kakashi was slightly startled, then thought for a moment and said: "Then, Big Brother, who do you intend to bring with you? Lin, Red, or … I think it's best to bring both of them, otherwise, I might not be able to deal with the one left behind."

“？”

Kaede looked at Kakashi, tilted his head, and said: "It seems that I haven't tested your cultivation for a long time, Kakashi. Let's go to the back mountain, let me see how far you've cultivated your Sage Body."

"Um … ah … that … I still have something to do … maybe next time."

Kakashi nodded, and the black vortexes wrapped around his body and quickly disappeared.

After cultivating his Sage Body to a certain extent, Kuroto has basically no side effects from using the Mangekyou Sharingan, but because he doesn't have the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, he can't use the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Eternal level for the time being.

Kuroto still needs to cultivate his Sage Body to the point where he can fuse the Mangekyou Sharingan with the Mangekyou Sharingan, and gradually evolve to the Eternal level.

Kaede shook his head.

Originally, he wanted to go out by himself, but after thinking about it, Kakashi's proposal is not bad, and the characteristics of the Seven-Tails are more suitable to become Kurenai's power.

Lin is currently a Three-Tails' Jinchuriki, and Kurenai is also suitable to become a Seven-Tails' Jinchuriki.

A moment later.

Kurenai brought a tray of snacks into Kaede's office.

Kaede placed the snacks on the table beside him and called out to her, "Red, come here for a moment."

"Hm?"

Kurenai blinked as she looked at Kaede.

Kaede is asking me to come over?

He's asking me to come over. What is Kaede trying to do?

Could it be …

Kurenai's cheeks became slightly flushed as she thought about all sorts of strange things. However, she didn't resist and walked over to Feng Ye. Her slightly bashful and obedient attitude was an indescribable charm.

Kaede could roughly guess what she was thinking when he saw her. He couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. It seems that Kurenai has been completely led astray by Red Bean.

This is the office, what kind of shameful scene is she imagining?

Kaede opened the Tenseigan and looked at Kurenai. He reached out and held her wrist and injected a wisp of chakra into her body to check her physical condition.

Kurenai has also learned the Cell Activation Technique, but her chakra hasn't reached the level of Kage yet, so she can't practice the Sage Technique or the Sage Body.

"I don't know if it will work …"

After checking Kurenai's body, Kaede showed a pensive look.

If Kurenai has the Sage Body, then even if it's just a preliminary Sage Body, she can easily bear the power of the tailed beast, and there's no need to worry about compatibility.

But it's just the degree of Cell Activation, it's hard to say, if it's not compatible with the seven tails, then it will be difficult to become the Jinchuriki of the seven tails, even if the seven tails cooperates.

But.

With him around, as long as the compatibility wasn't so bad that it reached the state of complete opposites like water and fire, it should be able to become a Human Pillar.

"Kaede … Fire, Hokage-Sama …"

Kurenai could feel Kaede's chakra entering her body, and she noticed the luster in Kaede's eyes, and realized that Kaede was observing her body.

This made her body a little weak, and she felt her cheeks getting hot, and she shyly wanted to retreat, but there was also a trace of expectation.

Kaede released his hand and looked at Kurenai: "Kurenai, go and make some preparations, I'm going to the Land of Long, and this time you'll be my guard."

"Huh? Okay, okay … "

Kurenai's heart was filled with surprise.

Serving as Kaede's guard, does that mean the two of them are going out together? Is this Kaede's confession to her?

Happiness came too suddenly, so much so that her voice was a little shaky.

"…"

Watching Kurenai leave the office, Kaede felt that she might have already thought of the name of their child.
