Chapter 577: Yecheng's Plan to Mentor Haruno Rin
Chapter 577: Yecheng's Plan to Mentor Haruno Rin
As Tsunade and the others turned their curious gazes towards Yecheng, they, too, were intrigued by his approach to the powerful Tailed Beasts, a formidable force in every ninja village.
However, they were also well aware that the Tailed Beasts were notoriously unruly, and the idea of them obediently following commands was absurd. This had always been a challenging issue for the major ninja villages.
Throughout history, only a handful of Jinchuuriki had managed to coexist peacefully with their Tailed Beasts, so they were genuinely curious about Yecheng's method.
"It's simple," Yecheng said with a smirk, as if revealing a secret, "you beat them into submission. If these beasts don't obey, just give them a good thrashing."
The group, including Kushina, exchanged bewildered looks upon hearing Yecheng's unconventional solution.
"Is this your idea of a plan?" Kushina asked, her face frozen in disbelief as she stared at Yecheng, feeling she had been tricked.
"Of course," Yecheng replied, "it's called physical persuasion. Just like how you, Kushina, often..."
Before he could finish, his mouth was covered by the quick-acting Naruto standing beside him.
It was not appropriate to air family matters in public, especially with Tsunade and Jirou Hyuga nearby. Naruto, the "Golden Flash," had his reputation to consider.
As for Kushina, after a moment of bewilderment, she wore a thoughtful expression.
Indeed, Naruto's obedience was likely due to her own personality. With this realization, Yecheng's words seemed to make sense.
Kushina had no qualms about disciplining Naruto, as he rarely defied her. However, the idea of beating a Tailed Beast into submission, even if it worked, seemed far-fetched.
Kushina struggled to imagine a scenario where the Nine-Tails could be subdued.
"Kushina, the seal within Rin doesn't need to be overly complex. Once we have some downtime, I plan to teach her to harness the power of the Tailed Beast.
Now that she's a Jinchuuriki, it would be a waste not to utilize such a powerful force."
"Rin's dream is to become a strong female ninja, right? I can assure you that by becoming a perfect Jinchuuriki of the Three-Tails, you'll surpass even Kakashi and Obito in strength.
Moreover, not only will you no longer need others to protect you, but you'll also be able to use your power to safeguard others."
Yecheng's words about protecting others resonated with Rin, reminding her of Kakashi's valiant efforts and Obito, pinned under a boulder. Her expression gradually hardened with determination.
With a serious gaze, she addressed Yecheng, "I want the power to protect others and no longer be a burden. Please teach me how to become stronger, Yecheng-sama!"
Meanwhile, after hearing Kakashi's detailed account of the events, Naruto spoke with a somber expression, "Yecheng, I entrust this to you. I wasn't a good teacher; I never imagined that in my absence, Obito would..."
Many believed that Naruto bore some responsibility for the events at Shinobu Bridge.
However, in reality, his decision at the time was not wrong. By pursuing a powerful enemy and leaving his disciples to clean up, he had tried to keep them as safe as possible.
After all, who could have anticipated that Uchiha Sasuke, once renowned throughout the ninja world, would scheme against a few youngsters?
Orochimaru's death left Naruto feeling extremely guilty, blaming himself for not fulfilling his role as a teacher.
Rin's gentle and kind nature, coupled with her medical ninjutsu skills, made her an ideal candidate to become Yecheng's disciple.
In the world of the Hokage, the relationship between a teacher and their disciple is not necessarily one-on-one, just like how Naruto's Team 7 was guided by Jonin Kakashi, but they weren't all disciples of the Sannin.
Kakashi was the Jonin instructor for Naruto's team, and if Rin were to formally become Yecheng's disciple, their relationship would be that of a direct disciple, a closer bond than that of a regular Jonin instructor.
Upon hearing the proposal of a formal apprenticeship, Yecheng felt a sense of apprehension. After all, in this world, the relationship between a teacher and their disciple is quite dangerous!
Due to the importance of personal guidance, there's no issue with treating each other like father and son. However, in this world, being a teacher is a high-risk profession.
Orochimaru's betrayal of the Third Hokage, Longmen's betrayal of Jiraiya, and Sasuke's betrayal of Orochimaru are all age-old traditions.
Glancing at the determined and hopeful expression on the soft and cute girl in front of him, Yecheng felt that given Rin's personality, the possibility of her betraying him was minuscule.
Moreover, in the world of the Hokage, there have been numerous instances of disciples betraying their teachers, but it seems there hasn't been a single female disciple among them.
Therefore, in this world, the best approach to taking on disciples is to accept female ninjas as disciples?
As Yecheng nodded in agreement, Rin's face lit up with joy, as if she had never imagined that one day, she would become a disciple of her idol.
"Since I've accepted you as my disciple, it's only natural for me, as your teacher, to give you a gift.
However, I don't have anything suitable on me right now. So, this time, let's help you find the one you've been longing for, Uchiha Obito, and consider it as a gift. How does that sound?"
Rin, who was usually well-behaved and sensible, wanted to express that she didn't need a gift, and she was already overjoyed that Yecheng was willing to take her as his disciple.
But when she heard Yecheng's latter statement, her expression, like those of the others present, froze in shock.
Naruto, who had been in a state of self-blame, was now even more surprised as he looked at Yecheng and asked, "Yecheng, do you mean that Obito is still alive?"
It wasn't just Naruto who was excited; Rin and Kakashi were even more thrilled. The fact that their important comrade was still alive was a delightful surprise that exceeded their expectations.
"Obito is indeed alive. He was rescued by others, but those who saved him had ulterior motives. In fact, everything that Rin and the others have encountered was carefully planned by them.
With my perception abilities, I can roughly locate their position, but they are quite tricky. So, I hope you can return to Konoha first."
If it were an ordinary group, the people present would be considered a powerful team, not just the famous Jinchuuriki in the ninja world.
However, if the opponent is Uchiha Sasuke, Yecheng genuinely doesn't want Rin and the others to accompany him.
To be honest, with Rin and Kurama Kushina's strength, if they were to face Uchiha Sasuke together, not only would they not be of much help, but they might even become a burden.
The worst-case scenario is that during the battle, the enemy's lineup suddenly includes two additional tailed beasts, while their side has two Jinchuuriki on the verge of death.
Tailed beasts may be invincible to ordinary ninjas, but to someone like Uchiha Sasuke, they are no different from mascots.
