Chapter 113 Is there anything in this world that can't be solved with a cheat code?
I spent another pleasant night under the moonlight.
The next morning.
Souji first went to the Hokage Building, had a brief conversation, and then left calmly, taking Utakata with him, and walked all the way out of the gates of Konoha Village.
He went to meet with the Hokage to discuss his temporary departure from Konoha.
As for the reason, it's simply because the ninja world is like this, and I wanted to see it all.
The Hokage, with a rather solemn and inexplicable gaze, silently scrutinized Souji for a long time before finally sighing and granting his permission.
The two didn't even exchange any other words during the process.
As he stepped out of Konoha's gates, Souji glanced back.
"Now... does this count as having a conflict with the Hokage?"
"I guess so? After all... I completely broke the balance between the five great ninja villages that the First Hokage had established.
For the Third Hokage, who only wanted to maintain the status quo and followed the old path of the First and Second Hokage, this was undoubtedly a huge event."
"However, right now it should be more confusion, because things happened so suddenly, and I was able to kill the Mizukage so easily, which must be very troubling for the Hokage."
"I wiped out Kirigakure's top combat force with almost no casualties in the Konoha ninja army, forcing Kirigakure to surrender completely.
This can't be hidden, and the whole of Konoha will regard me as a hero."
"Even if the Hokage is dissatisfied with the disruption of the balance, ordinary people don't understand what balance is.
To ordinary people, the other four great ninja villages are enemies who are eyeing Konoha with covetous eyes.
"In addition to my own reputation, medical ninjutsu, mysterious Kage-level subordinates, the Celestial Dragon Summoning Beast, and my ever-increasing and increasingly exaggerated personal combat power in a short period of time."
"Even if I do something outrageous on the surface, I haven't done anything wrong.
I can't just openly say that defeating too many enemies is a mistake, can I?
So, whether the Hokage wants to or not, he can't punish me for that."
"Especially since I have the strength to easily kill even the Mizukage, and no one has even figured out my limits yet.
The Hokage, whose condition is starting to decline, must also be worried about the consequences of mishandling me and provoking me to retaliate."
"Indeed, strength is always the foundation of one's standing!"
"Regardless of whether the Konoha White Fang incident was manipulated or not...
I will never be the second The second White Fang. My Kushala Daora is far more powerful than White Feng ninja sword."
"The Third Hokage has always been indecisive in these matters, and he probably won't be able to figure out how to deal with me in the short term.
Now that I've taken the initiative to leave temporarily, it's a good thing for both of us. The Hokage probably thinks it's better to be out of sight, out of mind."
"This is naturally a good thing for me, because I do have a lot of things to do that require me to travel around."
Souji led Utakata and kept walking out.
Utakata remained silent and obedient, doing whatever he was told without any sign of resistance.
It's clear that he doesn't care about things like water shadows or mist hiding places.
To him, Souji was a stranger, perhaps even an enemy.
But Kirigakure, which sealed the tailed beasts into his body and turned him into a weapon of war, was clearly not a place where Utakata felt any sense of belonging.
Utakata probably thinks that he can follow anyone.
The Souji glanced at him and asked softly:
"Utakata, do you want to take away the Six-Tails and stop being a Jinchūriki?"
Utakata raised his head and, with an air of composure beyond his years, said:
"I heard from the Grand Elder that if the seal is broken and the Tailed Beast leaves, I will die too."
"What if I had a way to extract the Tailed Beast without you dying or suffering any other long-term damage?"
"I won't die... What about the Six-Tails? What will happen to the Six-Tails after you extract it?"
"Oh? You're actually concerned about what will happen to the Six-Tails. It seems you get along quite well with it?"
The Souji smiled slightly and replied:
"Don't worry, I will extract the Six-Tails and then seal it into a special container, just like the Three-Tails is now.
The Six-Tails will not die, and no one else will become the next Jinchūriki."
"As for things that will happen in the future...
I may or may not need the Six-Tails for what I'm going to do. I can't say for sure right now.
All I can tell you is that I have no ill intentions toward you or the Six-Tails and I don't intend to do anything to harm you."
"Is that so..."
Utakata wore a thoughtful expression.
Although fighting as a Jinchūriki is inherently unpleasant, the Six-Tails' chakra also causes him great pain when he uses its power.
However, he got along quite well with the Six-Tails. The Six-Tails wasn't too annoying, nor was it completely silent.
They got along like friends, so he didn't always think about getting rid of the Six-Tails and no longer being a Jinchūriki.
Hearing that it was possible to extract the Six-Tails without harming him or the Six-Tails, Utakata was somewhat tempted.
However, it was something a stranger who was still considered an enemy had said... so he decided to wait and see.
Utakata communicated with the Six-Tails in his mind:
"Six-Tails, what do you think?"
"That sounds good. If possible, I don't want you to be a Jinchūriki.
Bearing my power would be too much of a burden for you," Six-Tails replied.
"However, pulling me out won't harm us. I've never heard of such a good thing before. It's really hard to believe..."
"But this person doesn't seem to have any reason to lie to us. If he just wanted to get rid of you, he could have done it directly, just like the people in the village."
"Yes, so I also think it might actually be true. Anyway, let's think about it first and not rush into a decision."
Utakata nodded slightly and said to the Souji:
"Six-Tails said, 'Let's think about it some more, okay?'"
"Sure, there's no rush."
The Souji smiled slightly.
We've taken down the first Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.
It's highly likely that Utakata and the Six-Tails will eventually agree, since being a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast is really not a good thing.
Even if they were to refuse rather unexpectedly, at most they would extract the Six-Tails when needed, and then put it back into Utakata's body so he could continue being a Jinchūriki.
Possessing the Nine Seals of the True Dragon, extracting the tailed beast will not result in death.
There's only one thing that requires the use of the Six-Tails.
By gathering all nine tailed beasts and filling them back into the Gedo Mazo (Demonic Statue of the Outer Path) i, which is the empty shell of the Ten-Tails, the Ten-Tails can be fully restored.
Then, they would deal with the Ten-Tails and Kaguya Otsutsuki, removing these major troubles that had been lurking in the sky for the ninja world.
Of course, it's too early to say these things now.
Although he now possesses the power to instantly kill even Kage-level opponents, the Ten-Tails and the Otsutsuki are far stronger than Kage-level.
But there's always a way.
Is there anything in this world that can't be solved with a cheat code?
If so, it must be because the opening isn't big enough.
In the end, it's just a matter of turning the cheat code up a bit more.
