----------
To be honest, Ishigami Hara was quite surprised. He thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen called him here because of Nawaki's mastery of Wood Release, but now it seems that it is not the case.
"Jinchūriki rampage?"
Ishigami Hara frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he understood what was going on.
This incident was not mentioned in the original plot, but Ishigami Hara knew that there was a story about a Jinchūriki rampage in a side story, but there was no clear indication of when it happened.
"What is the specific situation?" Ishigami Hara asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and did not speak, but Mitokado Homura said: "A Jinchūriki needs to control her own power, which requires a process. The new Jinchūriki is not as powerful as Master Mito, and her control is not as good, so she needs to go through a process."
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "It's training."
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu nodded, and then remained silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Uzumaki Kushina is learning how to control the Nine Tails' Chakra, but the process is not smooth."
"And because a Jinchūriki's personality cannot change, the village is trying to recreate the previous environment..."
He paused here, and Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again: "I allowed Uzumaki Kushina's friends to visit, and it was because of this that Uzumaki Kushina had emotional fluctuations, which led to the rampage."
Ishigami Hara was puzzled.
"Who is the friend?"
He immediately thought of a person.
Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen uttered a name.
"Namikaze Minato."
Ishigami Hara's frown relaxed, and then he asked: "What's the situation now?"
"Namikaze Minato is seriously injured, and the Jinchūriki still can't wake up, so the village can only seal him temporarily."
"Wait!"
Ishigami Hara suddenly thought of something, and asked in a deep voice: "Did the village get something from Iwagakure's Jinchūriki?"
There was silence at the scene, and no one responded.
Seeing this, Ishigami Hara immediately understood that his guess was correct. It was obvious that the village got some information from the Iwagakure Jinchūriki brought back, and then thought it was useful, and then tried it on Uzumaki Kushina.
Others may not know this, but it is easy for Ishigami Hara to figure it out. The reason is that the Four Tails Jinchūriki is a perfect Jinchūriki. This is much better than the current situation in Konoha.
Uzumaki Kushina does not have Uzumaki Mito's talent, and being young, it is obviously impossible for her to reach the level of a perfect Jinchūriki.
In this case, the village will definitely try every means to prevent accidents, and the method of becoming a perfect Jinchūriki is obviously the top priority.
But it is obvious that the village overestimated the method handed over by the Iwagakure Jinchūriki and underestimated the strength of the Nine Tails, which led to the current situation.
No wonder.
Ishigami Hara then understood why the top leaders called him over, but did not mention Nawaki's mastery of Wood Release at all. At this juncture, the top leaders obviously knew the priorities and knew the urgency of the matter.
Being watched by Ishigami Hara, Sarutobi Hiruzen found it difficult to deny and could only remain silent.
In the end, it was Utatane Koharu who broke the silence and said: "Iwagakure's Jinchūriki handed over the skills of communicating with the tailed beasts to the village, and we are also doing this for the good of the village."
Ishigami Hara: ...
At this moment, he was very silent, and he didn't know what to say.
"Are you on guard against me?" he suddenly said.
After the words fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen just raised his eyelids, and the other two people's expressions changed.
"What do you mean?"
Mitokado Homura spoke, his face was not very good, obviously Ishigami Hara said what he was thinking.
Ishigami Hara chuckled and said: "If you are not on guard against me, why are you so anxious? I really can't understand why you are so foolish for the power in your hands. Or do you think that a Jinchūriki can restrict me?"
He suddenly felt that it was boring to be hypocritical with these people. Obviously, he had been doing everything within the rules before, but some people just didn't want to give him trust.
As he said, Ishigami Hara shook his head, without looking at the few people, and said bluntly: "Hokage is not my dream. To be honest, I have no interest in becoming Hokage, but I will definitely sit in this position, and you can't stop it."
"Hara-kun!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "I need the village to maintain stability. You should know the pressure Konoha is facing now. In this situation, we cannot see any accidents."
Ishigami Hara looked at him, but said calmly: "I understand your difficulties, but... normal power transfer should not be like this."
As he said, regardless of the reactions of the three people, he said bluntly: "I am a member of the village."
"At least before being targeted by the village, I will not do anything bad to Konoha.
'You don't have to use the same method used to deal with Uchiha to deal with me."
"To tell you the truth, if I want, Konoha will be completely wiped out from the ninja world, and Konoha is not as strong as you think."
After speaking, Ishigami Hara's eyes turned into Byakugan and Sharingan, sweeping across the three people, and the surging pupil power surged.
"I have too many ways to disintegrate the power in your hands, but because of the instructions of Lord Mito, I don't want to use those methods."
"But don't think I'm just like those people whose brains have been brainwashed by the Will of Fire, and I'm only loyal to the Hokage, or to the power in your hands? That's ridiculous."
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked gloomy, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and the three of them stared at Ishigami Hara's eyes, and it could be seen that the three of them were very alert.
But before Ishigami Hara finished speaking, he continued: "...You are wary of me, in the final analysis, you are just wary of the power I hold, just because I have Sharingan and the Byakugan, which makes you feel uneasy."
"Don't deny it, don't you know it best in your heart, Uchiha is Uchiha, I am me, and I am not interested in watching you play power games."
After saying this, Ishigami Hara said directly to the outside: "Come and take me to see Jinchūriki."
The door was opened, and several people came in with a clatter. They were all dressed as Anbu and stared at Ishigami Hara with great vigilance.
Obviously, Ishigami Hara's words just now were heard outside, which made the Anbu who had been protecting the Hokage very vigilant.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a long time before he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Do as he says."
"Yes, Hokage!"
Ishigami Hara didn't care about these, and didn't even look at the three people again, and left first, without dragging his feet. After the others left, the Hokage office fell silent again.
"Hiruzen! This brat must not be left alone!" Utatane Koharu said in a deep voice.
Mitokado Homura also agreed: "Danzo is right, it is difficult for us to limit the ambition of that boy. He is different from Uchiha and more dangerous!"
"Yes, Hiruzen, we must prepare early."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very disappointed, as if he had aged ten years earlier. He shook his head slightly and said, "Let's stop here."
"Hiruzen!"
The two wanted to say something else, but were interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Do as I say, and don't contact Danzo privately. This is an order. You all go down and leave me alone."
The two looked at each other, but they couldn't see through Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, so they could only grit their teeth and leave.
After the others left, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two photos on the wall of the office, and a trace of loneliness flashed across his face.
"Teacher, what should I do? Am I really wrong?"
