Chapter 206: The Meeting [77]
Chapter 206: The Meeting [77]
The initial release of the Nine-Tails in Konoha caused quite a stir.
However, as time passed, the people of Konoha gradually grew accustomed to its presence, as the village's ninjas bore no ill will towards the beast.
Ever since the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Nine-Tails had been sealed within a jinchuriki, and its release had been carefully controlled.
And now,
Feng Ye had become the jinchuriki and completely subdued the Nine-Tails.
The true terror of the Nine-Tails lay not in its massive chakra but its colossal size, and even then, there were larger creatures in the world.
As Feng Ye frequently let the Nine-Tails out for walks, the ninjas of Konoha gradually began to view it as the village's guardian beast.
After a month or two, not only did they lose their fear, but some even initiated conversations with the fox.
Of course,
The Nine-Tails was a proud and aloof fox, so it usually ignored the ninjas unless they came bearing a plethora of snacks and treats, in which case it would reluctantly acknowledge them.
For the first month, Feng Ye would release the Nine-Tails and nap on its head, but during the following month, he began to leave its side more often.
Having tamed the Nine-Tails,
Feng Ye could leave it outside his body without consequence, as long as a portion of their chakras remained connected, allowing him to recall it at any time. The fox had also grown accustomed to lounging outside the village, occasionally enjoying the treats brought by the villagers.
"Anyway, the fox-taming plan is basically complete."
Lying on the Nine-Tails' back, Feng Ye watched with satisfaction as the fox interacted amicably with the villagers of Konoha.
During this time, he also honed his control over the Nine-Tails' chakra.
With his Sage Mode body cultivated to an exceptionally high level, it was brimming with natural energy, allowing him to enter Sage Mode instantly. With the cooperation of the Nine-Tails, accessing its chakra state was equally simple.
Because it was the complete version of the Nine-Tails, its chakra was even more potent than Feng Ye had anticipated, nearing the strength of half a Ten-Tails.
In the overlapping state of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Sage Mode, his speed almost rivaled that of the Eight Inner Gates!
Regrettably,
The Eight Inner Gates technique was incompatible with Sage Mode. The violent chakra would instantly disrupt the balance between natural energy and chakra, affecting even the Nine-Tails' chakra. Otherwise, the combination of these states would have undoubtedly propelled him to the level of the Six Paths.
Even without the ability to combine them, Feng Ye's current strength had essentially reached half the level of the Six Paths... Although this description was peculiar, if one were to make a comparison, he would be equivalent to the level of Uchiha Madara in his Edo Tensei state.
He possessed some abilities to rival the Six Paths, but he had not attained that level completely.
Through his discussions with the Nine-Tails, Feng Ye identified what he lacked.
Firstly, mental power,
Or more specifically, eye techniques.
If he were to obtain the Rinnegan, he could use its eye techniques to control his Sage Mode body and the Nine-Tails' chakra, fusing them together. This would give him a certain probability of evolving his senjutsu into Six Paths Senjutsu and unlocking the Six Paths Mode.
Secondly, further advancement in taijutsu.
If he could open one more gate and reach the seventh gate of the Eight Inner Gates, then in conjunction with his time-doubling state, he would be able to elevate his strength to the level of the Six Paths.
"Breaking through to the seventh gate of the Eight Inner Gates will probably take two to three years... If I were to take Nagato's Rinnegan, there's a risk of being intercepted by Tobirama."
Feng Ye pondered, contemplating the idea of obtaining a Sharingan and gradually unlocking its full power, but he estimated that the upcoming transformation might happen soon, and the step from Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to Rinnegan would be extremely challenging.
That's right.
There's also the Tenseigan when it comes to eye techniques.
The Tenseigan and the Rinnegan are essentially products of the same level, and obtaining the Tenseigan should yield effects similar to those of the Rinnegan. There's also a good chance that it could help him break through to the level of the Six Paths.
Just as Feng Ye was deep in thought, a ninja appeared in the distance and bowed to him. "Lord Feng Ye, the meeting is about to begin."
"Alright." Feng Ye exhaled and sat up.
For now, let's not worry too much about the future and focus on resolving the matters at hand in Konoha.
...
The Hokage Tower.
In the highest conference room.
As Feng Ye entered, the clan heads and high-ranking members of Konoha looked at him with a mixture of awe and respect in their eyes. This reverence stemmed not only from the power he had displayed two months ago but also from the changes he had brought about in Konoha during that time.
The terrifying Nine-Tails had become a guardian beast and a summoned creature under Feng Ye's command, often spending its days lounging outside the village and watching television.
Furthermore,
Due to the Nine-Tails' ability to sense malicious intent, it had helped root out spies within Konoha, and the village's crime rate had also decreased significantly.
The reason was simple: the sight of such a massive fox lounging outside the village made anyone contemplating criminal activity think twice.
"Regarding the Nine-Tails' daily expenses, the total for the past two months is ten million ryo. Compared to the positive impact it has on Konoha, this amount is negligible. I suggest we maintain the current arrangement."
Nara Shikaku presented a report on the Nine-Tails' recent expenses to the gathered clan heads and Konoha's leadership.
This report added a peculiar tone to the meeting.
Discussing the daily expenses and contributions of a tailed beast in a high-level meeting was likely a first in the entire ninja world, even during the time of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
Konoha's ninjas, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, were gaining a new perspective on tailed beasts, realizing that they were essentially just oversized pets.
"Ten million ryo does seem a bit excessive."
Tsunade took the report from Nara Shikaku and frowned. "The Nine-Tails doesn't really need to consume that much food, does it? We should be able to reduce this expense."
"Hmm, that's a good suggestion."
Feng Ye smiled and leaned back in his chair. "Send someone to have a 'detailed discussion' with Elder Tsunade about reducing the Nine-Tails' expenses for next month."
While the Nine-Tails had been getting lazier lately,
It was true that Konoha's spies had been largely rooted out, but the fox's presence was equivalent to a large-scale barrier that combined sensing and defensive capabilities. Maintaining such a barrier would typically incur far higher costs.
So, trying to skimp on the Nine-Tails' expenses was simply inhumane!
