Chapter 114 Showdown

After listening to Nara Shinsuke's analysis, Jiraiya's expression became very serious.

Jiraiya concluded: "So, Chiba came to the Land of Grass just for this Uzumaki Miyuki, and wanted Uzumaki Miyuki to replace Kushina and become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, right?"

Nara Shinsuke nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Jiraiya, the matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a serious matter. Regardless of whether Chiba's purpose is this or not, we should report it to the Hokage."

Jiraiya understood how important this matter was. As a weapon of war, it was never too much to be cautious with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"I'll report it to the old man."

After Jiraiya left, he first wrote a letter to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The letter detailed Uzumaki Miyuki and Nara Shinsuke's speculations, as well as Chiba and Kakashi's wish to be transferred to the Land of Hot Springs.

After Jiraiya asked Ninja Hawk to deliver the letter back to Konoha, he stood up from his chair.

"Go ask Qianyu what he wants to do."

Chiba and Kakashi had just finished their meal at the base and were about to go back to rest when they met Jiraiya.

"Qianyu, let's talk."

Qianyu's brows were furrowed together. They wanted to talk again. This Jiraiya was really troublesome.

But a higher-ranking official can crush a person, and since Jiraiya wanted to talk to him, Qianyu had no way to refuse.

"Kakashi, go back and rest first."

After Kakashi left, Chiba and Jiraiya came under a tree.

Jiraiya inquired, "Chiba, why are you looking for Uzumaki Miyuki?"

Qianyu frowned slightly: "I just happened to find it."

Jiraiya looked at Chiba with burning eyes: "Coincidentally? I'm afraid it's not a coincidence. Shinsuke analyzed your actions after coming to the Land of Grass and found that you were looking for someone with a purpose.

Chiba, you already know about the Jinchūriki, right? And you came to the Land of Grass to find Uzumaki Miyuki.

And your goal is to have Uzumaki Miyuki replace Kushina and become the Jinchūriki, right? "

Qianyu's mouth twitched.

The people of the Nara clan are all highly intelligent and really difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, Shinsuke Nara discovered his purpose through clues.

Now that I've been discovered, there's no need to pretend anymore.

Chiba admitted: "Yes, my goal is indeed to make Uzumaki Miyuki replace Kushina as the Jinchūriki."

Jiraiya said seriously: "Chiyu, give up, this is impossible. Kushina has learned the sealing technique of Mito-sama. After Kushina becomes a Jinchūriki, she can suppress the Nine-Tails and prevent it from getting out of control.

If it was Uzumaki Miyuki, she doesn't know the sealing technique and won't be able to suppress the Nine-Tails. She will lose control and cause unpredictable losses to Konoha.

Besides, Lord Mito no longer has the time or energy to train Uzumaki Miyuki, so Chiyu, don't waste your time on things that will produce no results!

I can promise that, except for a few people, no one else will know that Kushina has become a Jinchūriki. You don't need to worry about Kushina being treated unfairly in Konoha."

Qianyu had a sarcastic smile on his face: "It turns out that I, Jiraiya-sama, am the kind of person who would waste time on fruitless things. As for Jiraiya-sama's promise, it seems that you can't promise it at all, right?

It hasn't been long since Master Sakumo's incident happened, and if a confidential mission can be leaked to everyone, then what else is impossible?"

Jiraiya opened his mouth, but had no way to refute.

Chiba continued, "If Master Jiraiya is worried that Uzumaki Miyuki will lose control after becoming a Jinchūriki and cause unpredictable losses to Konoha, then please rest assured, Master Jiraiya, this will not happen.

It won't be too late for Uzumaki Miyuki to learn the sealing technique after she becomes a Jinchūriki. Before that, I will suppress the Nine-Tails!"

Jiraiya looked at Chiba in surprise: "You come to suppress the Nine-Tails? How do you suppress it?"

Chiba opened her Mangekyō Sharingan: "Master Jiraiya, you should know this pair of eyes. The Mangekyō Sharingan can control the tailed beasts. Master Jiraiya, do you still think that I am wasting my time on something that will not produce any results?"

Jiraiya looked into Chiba's eyes in horror.

Unexpectedly, Qianyu activated the upgraded form of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Now, it seems that there is no one in the entire Uchiha clan who can open the Mangekyō Sharingan?

Qianyu, who only has half Uchiha blood, actually opened it.

If the Uchiha people knew this, how devastated would they be?

However, Jiraiya is still not optimistic about Uzumaki Miyuki replacing Uzumaki Kushina as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Jiraiya gave a heartfelt advice: "Chiyu, even if you open the Mangekyō Sharingan and can suppress the Nine-Tails, can you always keep an eye on Uzumaki Miyuki?

The old man won't agree to it. After all, it is safest for Kushina to become a Jinchūriki, and with your Mangekyō Sharingan, Kushina will be even safer."

Qianyu closed her Mangekyō Sharingan and said to Jiraiya calmly, "Master Jiraiya, I believe that everything depends on human effort, not fate. That day has not come yet, so in my opinion, everything is possible.

If there is nothing else, Master Jiraiya, I will go to rest. Please take care of the trip to the Land of Hot Springs."

Chiba turned and walked away, not caring whether Jiraiya had anything else to say to him.

Chiba knew very well that no matter what he said, Jiraiya would report all this to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Rather than arousing Sarutobi Hiruzen's suspicion, it would be better to take the initiative and let them know your purpose.

Coupled with his own Mangekyō Sharingan, Chiba felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely focus on evaluating his own value.

Moreover, we are still in the war period. As long as we can make achievements, our importance will become more and more obvious.

When her own value exceeds the risk brought about by Uzumaki Miyuki becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen refuses now, he will definitely agree later.

What's more, there is the Uchiha clan, which is a thorn in Sarutobi Hiruzen's side.

Now the Uchiha clan is very active on the battlefield, and almost all Uchiha ninjas who can fight have been assigned to various battlefields.

As for why the Uchiha clan did this, all the other ninja clans in Konoha knew it.

It's impossible that the Uchiha clan is doing this for the sake of Konoha's glory. They must have other ulterior motives.

The Uchiha clan now has no say in front of high-level officials such as Sarutobi Hiruzen. The reason they work so hard now is just for power.

Previously, Uchiha Masaki asked Uchiha Fugaku to apologize to Chiba. Chiba's Sharingan alone was definitely not enough. The main reason was that after he gave up the Breathing of Thunder, he became a member of the Hokage faction.

So Uchiha Masaki showed kindness to him only because he wanted to invest in his future.
