Chapter 118 - Chapter 118: The Calm Before the Storm

After Shippuden began, and the Yin Nine-Tails was extracted, and Kurama in Naruto's body was restored to full power, Sato ended his "model worker" mode and started his "vacation" mode.

On weekdays, he develops his relationship with the three girls (Hinata, Ino, Karin), and occasionally teases Kurenai Yūhi in front of them. Kurenai can no longer show the slightest majesty of a teacher; her cheeks turn red when Sato teases her from time to time. This reaction obviously shows that Kurenai Yūhi has a great affection for him.

By the way, regarding Yakumo Kurama—who was rescued by him back then and has now moved back to Konoha from Satomi Hill Villa—due to embarrassment, she doesn't want to live in Sato's villa, nor does she want to live with Kurenai Yūhi. Instead, she rented the old house left by Sato's parents.

Finally, apart from the holidays, he goes to the Ninja Academy to pick up Hanabi on time every day and accompanies his sister-in-law to go shopping.

During the holidays, Sato often uses the Flying Raijin Technique to secretly take Hanabi away from Konoha to visit the bustling cities of the Five Great Nations, which has made the sister-in-law's dependence on him skyrocket again.

Hanabi now prefers staying at Sato's house over going home. Not only because of her freedom but also because she has her favorite Sato Big Brother and older sister (Hinata), who can let her act like a baby to her heart's content.

Of course, in addition to accompanying the girls, Sato will also visit Shikamaru Nara and Chōji Akimichi from time to time to play chess and fish together, and also pay attention to Shino Aburame's Anbu work.

And take care of Tsunade and Shizune...

Unknowingly, Sato's bond with Konoha became stronger and stronger.

This kind of warm life made Sato feel that clearing the "moths" from the village back then was the right choice. A Konoha without internal strife provides the best environment and resources in the world.

In addition to Konoha, Sato also went to Samui from time to time to care for this maid whose "attack rate" was higher than Karin's—120%, or at least 200% because of Kotoamatsukami.

By the way, he enjoyed the world's No. 1 "facial brainwashing" set, as well as improving Samui's cooking skills and teaching her how to make sandwiches.

While Sato was enjoying his vacation and living the life of a winner, the ninja world was not peaceful at all.

Unlike the original story where Gaara was revived by Chiyo, it was not until the Fourth Raikage thought that Killer B had been captured by the Akatsuki organization that he invited the other Five Kage to start talks regarding the Akatsuki organization. Then Uchiha Obito started the Fourth Ninja World War in the name of Uchiha Madara.

In this life, Gaara did not come back to life, so the news of the Fifth Kazekage's death quickly reached the ears of the major ninja villages.

Looking at the information in their hands, and the information that the Hokage shared with them, the rest of the Five Kage frowned, full of fear and respect for the Akatsuki organization.

They broke into Sunagakure alone and captured the strongest Kage in the village.

There is also the resurrection of the Second Tsuchikage, and the Reanimation Jutsu used by the Second Tsuchikage to summon the Second Mizukage, Third Kazekage, Third Raikage, Fourth Kazekage, and Fourth Hokage—the Five Kage of past dynasties...

If it weren't for Tsunade sharing the information with them, and their subordinates going to the Land of Rivers to verify it, the Five Kage would never have believed such an outrageous thing.

But now, the Akatsuki organization, which has the Five Kage of all dynasties and S-rank rogue ninjas from various countries, is undoubtedly the largest terrorist organization in the ninja world—one that can threaten the Five Great Ninja Villages.

More importantly, the target of this terrorist organization is the nine Tailed Beasts.

In order to prevent their own Jinchūriki from being attacked, the major ninja villages issued orders prohibiting Jinchūriki from going out. The Jinchūriki who were already out received recall orders from their villages one after another.

Soon, the Fourth Raikage discovered that his Two-Tails Jinchūriki (Yugito Nii) was missing. Apparently, something had happened, and he was furious, even breaking several desks.

Listening to Samui's report, Sato, who was teaching her how to make sandwiches, couldn't help but gloat, and then added some milk to the sandwich for Samui to taste his own cooking skills for the tenth time.

Although the major ninja villages paid attention to the Akatsuki organization in advance, the resistance against Akatsuki's capture of the Tailed Beasts increased.

But this increase was not significant.

Unless the Five Great Ninja Villages unite, apart from Konoha and Cloud Shinobi (Kumogakure), even Iwagakure—who owns Ōnoki—will definitely not be an opponent for Akatsuki.

Like Sunagakure, the weakest of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Deidara can break into it and capture their Kazekage in front of everyone.

And in addition to the known members of the Akatsuki organization, there is also that guy, Uchiha Obito.

Just when the major ninja villages issued a recall order to their own Jinchūriki, Uchiha Obito had already taken over the work of capturing the Three-Tails, and came to the Land of Water in person to capture the recently revived Three-Tails (Isobu).

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki also started to act. According to the information provided by White Zetsu, they intercepted the Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Rōshi, who was hesitant to return to the village, and the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, Han, who was planning to return. They caught two Jinchūriki and prepared to seal three Tailed Beasts at once.

After receiving the information shared by Yomi, Sato finished his vacation and started talking with Karin and Jiraiya to help Naruto master the power of the Nine-Tails.

For Sato and Karin, this was actually a very easy task.

As soon as Jiraiya opened the seal, Karin bound Naruto's body with Adamantine Sealing Chains from the outside and cooperated with the Sealing Jutsu to prevent the leakage of Nine-Tails Chakra. Then Sato entered Naruto's Mindscape, suppressed Kurama with Wood Style, and Naruto was able to enter the Nine-Tails Mode immediately.

This difficulty is far less than practicing Sage Jutsu.

However, when the seal was released, an accident happened that shocked and surprised Jiraiya.

When the seal was released, the Chakra of Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki appeared at the same time. The husband and wife met Naruto in the Mindscape and made Naruto feel the warmth of family affection.

At the same time, Namikaze Minato was very surprised and solemn that Sato extracted the Yin Nine-Tails from his soul to help Naruto turn into a complete Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.

The same went for Kushina Uzumaki.

If this happened, it means that someone found the Reaper Mask of the Uzumaki clan, released the sealed souls from the Reaper's belly, and finally summoned Minato's soul back to the real world.

A person who can do this is definitely a powerful individual.

Therefore, both husband and wife were very worried about Naruto's safety.

In order to make Naruto stronger, the husband and wife also participated in the process and sealed Kurama together with Sato and Karin, allowing Naruto to master the Nine-Tails Mode.

Next, Naruto only needs to get Kurama's approval and learn Sage Jutsu, and he can start the Sage Mode + Kurama Mode and gain Super Kage-level power.

And Namikaze Minato obviously didn't forget about Sage Jutsu.

After helping Naruto seal Kurama, Namikaze Minato alerted Jiraiya when his Chakra was about to dissipate.

So, after Naruto unlocked the Nine-Tails Mode, Jiraiya decided to send him to Mount Myōboku, where the Two Great Sage Toads would teach him Senjutsu.

As for himself, there were other things to do.

Time went by day by day...

Seeing that the Akatsuki organization had sealed the Four-Tails and was about to rest for a day before continuing to seal the Five-Tails, Sato felt that it was time to start his own plan to "bridge the gap between the Sage Body and Asura Ōtsutsuki."
