Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 58 Ask
When the second-generation Kazekage was young and powerful, he used the Sandstorm clan to expand externally, suppressed various opposition voices internally, and then used the Kazama clan to secretly check and balance the Sandstorm clan.

Under the collision and balance between the two major families, the second generation Feng Ying barely convinced the old diehards in the Presbyterian Council to implement their own political reforms.

On the one hand, a ninjutsu school was established in violation of the tradition of large family rule. Although those who graduated from ninjutsu schools during this period were often from ninja families, during the school's short two to six years of study, more or less The earth can weaken the concept of family, and to a certain extent, it provides an upward path for those small families, thus providing many loyal supporters to the ascetics.

On the other hand, he pioneered the liberation of Shukaku, who had always been sealed in the ancient temple, and sealed it on the first generation Jinchūriki, Fenfuku, which greatly improved the prestige and status of the Kingdom of Wind among the five major nations.

However, as the second-generation Kazekage Salmon grew older, the determination of the Kazekage's successor began to be put on the agenda by the senior management of Sunagakure Village.

From the bottom of his heart, he still hopes to pass on the position of the Third Kazekage to Chiyo, who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

But reason told him that if Chiyo came to power, the Sandstorm clan, led by Lian Ya, would almost certainly rebel, and then there would probably be a brutal civil war.

Especially in this ninja world war, the strength of Sunagakure Village has been damaged, and the surrounding Konoha Rain ninja are already watching with eager eyes, the stability of the political situation is particularly important.

But if Renya comes to power, Samana is confident in persuading Chiyo and Ebizo to put the overall situation first, but it will wrong these two children, especially Ebizo who has been with him since he was a child. The longest reigning Kazekage It's hard to make up one's mind.

In the tunnel leading to the dungeon in Sand Hidden Village, two figures were slowly advancing forward holding torches.

Walking in the dark underground, Fushikawa's sight and hearing were fully activated, but he couldn't feel any powerful chakra aura.

How deep is this dungeon!

"Fengfuku is the first jinchūriki of our Sunagakure Village, and he is also a rare genius among the Sandstorm clan."

"He was raised as Shukaku's vessel from an early age. He was only 3 years old when he inherited Shukaku."

"But he has been able to completely control Shukaku's power since he was 9 years old. Since then, Shukaku has been safe and sound. It was not until the past few years that Fenfu got older and lacked energy, so Shukaku frequently took advantage of him."

"On the most serious occasion, the Sandstorm Clan dispatched hundreds of sealed ninjas to control the rampaging Shukaku."

"Later, the Sandstorm clan gradually mastered the rules. Through close monitoring and sealing at the beginning of its Shukaku transformation, the damage caused became smaller each time."

"However, this old monk is different from other Sandstorm clan members... to be precise, he is different from other ninjas."

"He seems to hate the fighting and fighting between ninjas."

"He disobeyed the Kazekage's orders several times and refused to control Shukaku to fight the enemy, so he was imprisoned in a dungeon and closely guarded almost all the time."

"You haven't been out for more than 30 years?"

"Basically."

Fuchuan was very surprised. After being in this dark underground for so long, his eyesight and language skills must have deteriorated.
"And he knows very well that once a new jinchuriki is born, the old jinchuriki is destined to die."

"So you'd better not get your hopes up."

"Even if he has some skills to control Shukaku, there is a high probability that he will not tell you."

This is actually the case in the original work where Gaara and Shukaku fell in love and killed each other when they were young, and both were tortured to the point of panda eyes. It was only when the tailed beast was pulled away that Gaara truly reconciled with Shukaku.

Fukawa estimated that since this person did not have the title of a perfect Jinchuuriki, and even went berserk frequently, he probably could not complete the fist fight with Shukaku.

I am just curious about Fenfu.

He disobeyed Feng Ying's orders many times. He must be a stubborn old man.

After walking for a while, the two finally met the guards guarding the place. After showing their tokens, the two guards struggled to turn the hinge.

A huge stone door slowly opened.

An underground space like a small square suddenly appeared in front of Fuchuan.

In the middle of the area, dozens of pillars as thick as arms hang down from the top, demarcating a single cell, and different ninjas are constantly monitoring the cell on all sides.In the middle of the cell, a thin, withered, bald old monk with white beard and white eyebrows sat cross-legged.

Ebizo silently walked to a surveillance point and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Then the ninjas watching around quietly retreated, and soon Ebizo and Fukawa were left alone.

"Hey, it's Xiaozang here."

Fenfu seemed very happy.

"You haven't been here for a long time. I thought you guys had forgotten me, this old guy."

"No way. If you had promised me to go to the battlefield to defend the Kingdom of Wind last time, you might have been able to leave this dark place long ago."

"Well, compared to the bloody battlefield, I still prefer staying here."

"This young man is, at such a young age, able to have such chakra that has been refined over time. It's amazing!"

"He is the next Jinchuriki successor we have found, Fukawa."

Fenfu finally opened his cloudy eyes at this moment, looked at Fuchuan carefully for a while, shook his head slowly, and sighed.

Fukawa asked curiously, "Do you think I can't control Shukaku?"

He didn't have a bad impression of the compassionate old monk in front of him.

The old monk slowly shook his head.

"Young man, I can see the obsession in your eyes. If Shukaku is really succeeded by you, there will probably be a bloody storm in the ninja world."

"But if you fail, Shukaku will bite you back, and you will be in a narrow escape situation."

"I can't bear to see you die, nor can I bear the killing caused by your success, so I sigh like this."

Ebizo shook his head secretly. It was indeed the case. If he could get some information from the old monk, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until this time?

This trip was indeed in vain.
Fukawa didn't take it seriously. He suddenly asked, "Does Shukaku have any preferences?"

Ebizo and Fenfu were stunned at the same time.

"Does it like to talk? Does it like to hear jokes? Can it be coaxed when it's angry?"

Ebizo's mind went blank. Is this what you want to ask when you come here?
Don't you realize how serious this matter is?
He actually wasted precious time just to ask Shukaku if he liked hearing jokes?

However, Fenfu laughed loudly and coughed violently. This was the first time for Ebizo to see such a big fluctuation in his mood in such a long time.

"Speaking of Shukaku, he is a naughty guy."

"This guy's favorite thing to do every day is to play pranks. Sometimes he will scare you when you are about to fall asleep, and sometimes he will suddenly disappear while playing."

When he talked about Shukaku's embarrassment, Fenfu started talking as if he were a different person. Both Ebizo and Fukawa listened silently without saying a word.

"...It always wants to sneak out to bask in the sun, but every time it sneaks out when I'm not paying attention, it's always at night, and it will be sealed back soon, and then it will chatter in your ears all day long."

"It seems that you and Shukaku have a really good relationship."

"After all these years, in fact, it is my family in my heart."
