Freedom!
The thing that the Tailed Beasts valued the most—Uchiha Jin didn't hesitate at all and just casually gave it to the Nine-Tailed.
At this moment, the Nine-Tailed was filled with astonishment.
Of course, there was even more disbelief; after all, this was a very normal thing. Humans, on one hand, feared the power of the Tailed Beasts, and on the other hand, they wanted to obtain that power.
Therefore, regarding Uchiha Jin's promise, the Nine-Tailed subconsciously did not trust it.
And, regarding this, as if noticing the distrust in the Nine-Tailed's eyes, Uchiha Jin immediately added a simple remark.
"I have already awakened the Rinnegan; the power of the Tailed Beasts cannot help me much."
"More importantly, I have no need to lie to you!"
"Because even without giving you these promises, do you dare to not cooperate with me?"
"So put away your little schemes; what I have promised, I will naturally fulfill!"
After these words, the Nine-Tailed's gaze instantly softened.
Yes!
Just as Uchiha Jin said, he had already awakened the Rinnegan, and especially with that intense aura, in the Nine-Tailed's perception, it was no weaker than the Six Paths Sage of the past.
In this situation, what else could one hope for?
"Thank you!"
After a brief silence, the arrogant Nine-Tailed finally said this.
Uchiha Jin merely nodded upon hearing this: "Through your Tailed Beast space, help me notify the other Tailed Beasts and tell them to stay put for a while."
"Once I resolve the trouble with Hagoromo and Mount Myōboku, that group of Tailed Beasts will be able to obtain limited freedom."
"I will not find new Jinchuriki for them; I will designate an area around Konoha for you Tailed Beasts to inhabit in the future."
"Although you cannot live like the other Tailed Beasts for the time being because you have a Jinchuriki, you can still manifest an avatar to go live in the Tailed Beasts' designated area on a daily basis."
"It is just that when your Jinchuriki needs power, you must be able to return immediately."
"Of course, do not hope for absolute freedom. Although I disdain the power of you Tailed Beasts, there are still other cunning old schemers hidden within the Ninja World."
"Whether it is the hidden Isshiki or the other Ōtsutsuki in the distant stars, they are not existences that you Tailed Beasts can contend with."
"Although your Tailed Beast strength is poor, if you are captured and fused into the Ten-Tails, it will cause me a great deal of trouble."
"And you don't need to worry about your situation changing after I die."
"I can tell you that after reaching my level, even dying is extremely difficult. Even if I am truly killed by someone, I can use the Karma to resurrect."
"The death of that Six Paths Sage Hagoromo, to put it plainly, was just a part of his scheme; in other words, he actively chose the path of death in order to obtain authority over the Pure Land."
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
After saying this, Uchiha Jin did not waste any more words; he immediately spoke to Minato and his wife, then activated his Sharingan and left the sealing space.
On the other side, Minato and his wife exchanged glances and quietly left the sealing space as well.
On the contrary, Naruto did not leave immediately; instead, under the clear instruction of Minato and his wife, he chose to stay and bond with the Nine-Tailed.
Don't ask why it wasn't a hint; because Naruto is too simple-minded, he simply wouldn't understand a so-called hint.
In reality, at the Minato residence. Upon returning, Minato Namikaze could not help but ask: "Hokage-sama, was your promise just now serious?"
"Of course, Uchiha do not lie!" Uchiha Jin nodded.
He was indeed telling the truth; he really had no use for the power of the Tailed Beasts.
Although the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is indeed formidable, and Uchiha Jin was honestly a little tempted, who knows if these Tailed Beasts had been tampered with by Kaguya, Hamura, and others...
This point is very likely!
If there were no methods left by Hamura and others within these Tailed Beasts and the Gedo Statue, they would not have let Black Zetsu, Madara, and the others become Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
Therefore, he would rather slowly accumulate luck and exchange for rewards from the primordial tower than risk easily using the Tailed Beasts of the current Ninja World.
"Beyond the starry sky..."
"No need to think about it; that is also true!" Facing Minato Namikaze's repeated questioning, Uchiha Jin interrupted him before he could finish.
Afterwards, after thinking briefly for a moment, he spoke seriously again: "Although I killed Jiraiya before, I estimate that that guy, the Six Paths Sage Hagoromo, will definitely not easily let me off."
"The Ninja World seems calm and tranquil now, but in all likelihood, Hagoromo is brewing a big move."
"You should also prepare yourselves; a great war could happen at any moment!"
"Accumulate merit well after the upcoming great war; I am still waiting for you to use merit to exchange for resurrection slots."
After speaking, Uchiha Jin patted Minato on the shoulder, greeted Kushina, and left.
Indeed! Although he had handed over most of the Hokage's work to his secretary and the Jonin Squad, in reality, he still had many things to attend to every day, so naturally, he did not have time to chat with Minato here for too long.
Minato Namikaze: "..." He looked at Uchiha Jin's departing back, and a fire was slowly burning in his eyes.
Although when he was initially summoned via Edo Tensei, his heart was still filled with thoughts of resolving matters as quickly as possible and then returning to the Pure Land with Kushina to live a good life.
But after learning about the situation in the Pure Land, the true appearance of the Six Paths Sage, and especially the life his child Naruto had been living... his mindset changed completely!
Although the Edo Tensei body made him very uncomfortable, and his subconscious kept reminding him that the Pure Land was wonderful, the self-control and thought patterns of a powerhouse like Minato Namikaze were not ordinary.
The Pure Land is wonderful? He had never been to the Pure Land; he had always been inside the Shinigami's stomach before, so why would he know that the Pure Land was wonderful?
Furthermore... he had once asked Kushina about the situation in the Pure Land, but Kushina only said the Pure Land was very comfortable and that she also deeply desired to return to the Pure Land to live.
But what was life in the Pure Land actually like? What did Kushina usually do in the Pure Land? Kushina, however, was blank about this.
Even when she tried to recall carefully, she couldn't think of any details of life in the Pure Land; she only vaguely felt that the Pure Land was wonderful...
Because of this, Minato Namikaze completely understood that Uchiha Jin was right; the situation in the Pure Land was very wrong.
In this situation, he wanted to go back even less!
But staying in the Ninja World in the body of an Edo Tensei was not sustainable either. It would have been one thing if he hadn't known about the path to resurrection before, but after learning the conditions for resurrection and the truth of this world, and understanding that the boundary between life and death in this world was very blurred... he had to seize the opportunity and strive to get the couple resurrected as soon as possible.
"Merit?"
"I will earn it as soon as possible; I am Minato Namikaze, after all!"
"Kushina, wait for it."
"I will definitely get you resurrected as soon as possible, and then our family will truly live together!"
Minato Namikaze's tone was resolute. He had absolute confidence in himself; although he didn't make any oaths, the confidence in his words could not be blocked.
And regarding this, Kushina only nodded; of course, she believed in her man.
Minato Namikaze's excellence—isn't that something everyone understands?
