Chapter 175 - Chapter 175 The So-called Misunderstanding

After Ren returned to the Konoha Camp with Yusuke Uchiha, it wasn't long before Kosuke entered.

"Teacher Kosuke!"

"Senior Kosuke!"

Kosuke nodded in acknowledgment, then sternly warned them.

"You two did very well this time, but you must not be careless. Hidden Mist Village is very likely to retaliate. They might send out the Ninja Swordsmen and the major Bloodline Clans that haven't been deployed yet, so you must strengthen your vigilance."

"Yes, Senior Kosuke!"

Yusuke Uchiha responded with a serious expression.

"Hmm."

After Kosuke finished speaking, he took a scroll from his Pregnant and placed it on the desk, saying in a deep voice.

"These are this month's battle reports from various regions. Take a look."

At this point, Kosuke turned his head and glanced at Ren, saying somewhat strangely.

"Oh, and Hokage-sama sent word for you to write a 4,000-word report on your recent actions and send it back. I'll be here until the afternoon, so hurry up."

"...Yes."

Ren immediately deflated, answering weakly.

The matter was already over, so why did they need a report? He hated writing, let alone 4,000 words.

While muttering, Ren didn't forget to move closer to the desk to read the battle reports with Yusuke Uchiha. He might as well enjoy the gossip first; there was still plenty of time, and he could write later.

As time passed, the expressions of the two gradually became serious.

The situation on the Cloud Village Battlefield was not very good. Due to a shortage of high-level combat power, the Konoha Ninja there suffered heavy casualties.

Two days ago, Orochimaru temporarily stalled the Kumogakure army at the Land of Fire border by using the terrain, but it was only a temporary measure.

As for the Land of Rain, where three countries were embroiled in battle, with Hanzou's inaction, the fighting there showed a tendency to escalate.

However, relying on the geographical advantages gained in the early stages and military strength sufficient to contend with the other two countries, they could manage the current situation. But when it came to providing support, they were stretched thin.

After reading the scroll, both of their expressions were somewhat grim.

At this moment, maintaining the current balanced situation was the best choice for Konoha.

Located in the best piece of land in the Ninja World, Konoha Village possessed economic and material advantages that other countries lacked.

Prolonged warfare was more beneficial to them. As long as they could endure, Konoha Village was confident it could outlast the other four countries until they exhausted their resources and were forced to surrender.

The current problem, however, lay on the Cloud Village Battlefield. The situation there had already begun to tip in favor of Hidden Cloud Village. If Konoha Village didn't find a way to remedy it quickly, once Hidden Cloud Village broke through the defenses and its army advanced deep into the Land of Fire, it would trigger a chain reaction, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Teacher Kosuke, what does the Village mean...?"

Ren looked up at Kosuke and asked in a low voice.

"Aside from the necessary defense forces, all other military strength in the Village has already been deployed to the battlefields."

Kosuke said in a deep voice. After glancing at Yusuke Uchiha, who was deep in thought, he continued.

"The Village has already sent the Hyuga Clan Leader and the Aburame Clan Leader with their elite family members to our location.

Clan Head Uchiha, along with the Sarutobi Clan and the Inuzuka Clan Leader, has taken their elites to the Kumogakure battlefield for support."

"All the major Clan Leaders have been deployed...?"

Yusuke Uchiha murmured softly, his gaze heavy.

The Clan Leader had taken the clan's elites to the most dangerous Kumogakure battlefield. It seemed that when he returned, there would be fewer familiar faces in the clan.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. At least with the support of Clan Head Uchiha and others, the Kumogakure battlefield can temporarily stabilize."

As soon as Kosuke finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ren and said in a deep voice.

"Oh, when I came, Minato told me to pay close attention to you. During the previous battle, did you feel anything unusual?"

"Eh?"

Ren was startled at first, but quickly reacted and smiled.

"Don't worry, Teacher Kosuke, my current condition couldn't be better. Please tell Brother Minato that everything is fine here."

"Are you sure?"

Kosuke was still somewhat concerned. After all, there were too many examples of Jinchuriki losing control and the consequences that followed. So he had to be cautious.

"Definitely. Oh, and..."

Ren suddenly remembered something, then slowly said under their puzzled gazes.

"I've already met this guy."

"Hmm?"

Looking at Ren pointing to his abdomen, the two were first stunned, but quickly reacted. After exchanging glances, they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Ren, do you mean... the sealed space?"

Kosuke pondered for a moment before speaking, then looked at Ren with some anticipation.

"Yes, although that guy doesn't talk much, I feel like we can get along. I inadvertently called upon his Chakra during the battle, and he let me use it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had that much Chakra to hold off that elite squad."

As soon as Ren finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Kosuke's face, and he immediately murmured.

"A Perfect Jinchuriki...?"

"A Perfect Jinchuriki? What's that, Senior Kosuke?"

Yusuke Uchiha asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing his murmur. Although he was an Uchiha elder, he only had a general understanding of Jinchuriki matters. This was the first time he had heard the term Perfect Jinchuriki.

"If it's truly as Ren says, and the Three-Tails is willing to lend him Chakra and even coexist peacefully, then it's possible for him to become a Perfect Jinchuriki."

A smile appeared on Kosuke's face, and he continued to explain.

"I once heard Nidaime(2nd)-sama mention it inadvertently. Although becoming a Jinchuriki grants immense power, this power is uncontrollable. One careless mistake and you could be swallowed by the Tailed Beast Chakra, turning into an uncontrollable monster.

However, a Jinchuriki can fully control this power through diligent training. But ultimately, they cannot unleash the Tailed Beast's power to its fullest extent."

At this point, Kosuke paused, then continued.

"To unleash the Tailed Beast's power to its fullest, the Tailed Beast and the Jinchuriki need to work together in perfect harmony, fighting side by side without any reservations, only then can this power be fully unleashed. This is called a Perfect Jinchuriki.

But because all Tailed Beasts resent humans due to being sealed, so far, I haven't heard of any Village producing a Perfect Jinchuriki."

At this point, Kosuke looked at Ren with an appreciative gaze and said softly.

"Since the Three-Tails within Ren doesn't reject him, there's a possibility for further development.

A Perfect Jinchuriki is not a fantasy!"

"..."

Looking at the joyful Kosuke in front of him, Ren's mouth twitched twice before he forced out a smile.

You've already thought it through and said it, so if I refute it now, you'd probably kill me.

Forget it, it's pretty much what they said anyway. Let them misunderstand!"
