Natsuki heard this and was still not surprised. "Have you really decided?"
Sasuke stood up and bowed solemnly. "I've decided! Please help me!"
Natsuki nodded. "I agree."
Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief and rarely showed a smile. "Thank you! Natsuki, thank you so much!"
Natsuki just waved his hand. He had actually always wanted to respect the destiny of the savior, but since one of the saviors came to him for help, and they were also friends, there was no reason for him to refuse.
Moreover, without using Orochimaru's curse mark power, perhaps the only way for Sasuke to gain strength was through the Tailed Beasts.
This was the result of Sasuke's own thinking. He hadn't gone dark or to extremes, which was already very commendable.
If Natsuki refused, Sasuke would definitely go himself. With Sasuke's strength, he probably couldn't do it. At that time, he might even be noticed by the Akatsuki, which would allow the Akatsuki to exploit the situation.
In that case, it was better to directly help and let Sasuke succeed.
Then Konoha would also have two Jinchuriki, and dealing with the Akatsuki should be easier.
Moreover, Itachi Uchiha might even turn against the Akatsuki, after all, the Akatsuki would capture his brother, forcibly extract the Tailed Beast, and let his brother die. No matter what, he wouldn't just stand by and watch!
"Oh right, are you planning to hide this from Tsunade-sama and Kakashi-senpai for now?" Natsuki asked again.
"Yes. They probably won't agree. I want to act first and report later." Sasuke was clearly also conflicted.
Sasuke was grateful to Kakashi, after all, Kakashi had helped him a lot and taught him a lot. He truly regarded Kakashi as his sensei/teacher Jiraiya.
But there were some things he still wanted to be willful about.
As long as I become a Jinchuriki, I can gain power, and Itachi Uchiha will automatically come looking for me. There is no better plan than this.
So, no one can stop him!
And he knew that Natsuki was more rational and would choose to support him, which is why he chose to ask Natsuki for help. Just as he thought, Natsuki agreed without hesitation.
Having such a friend, Sasuke felt very lucky.
Natsuki thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I plan to go investigate that Spiral Mask Man and take you as a helper. Tsunade-sama will agree. At that time, we'll first go capture the Three-Tails. It shouldn't take much time."
After all, the Mask Man has the Sharingan, and bringing Sasuke might help discover something.
Tsunade will definitely agree.
Sasuke nodded, "Your arrangement is very good. I'll listen to you."
Natsuki, however, asked, "How is your Sealing Jutsu training? Although I can also help you with the sealing, if your own Sealing Jutsu is not bad, you'll be able to control the Tailed Beasts' power better."
Sasuke smiled, a confident smile, "Four Symbols Seal and Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, while not perfect, I have mastered them proficiently."
"Very good, the conditions are all met. This time should be successful. Then you go back and prepare. I'll go to Tsunade-sama tomorrow to apply for the mission."
"Okay. Natsuki, I still want to say, thank you!"
Sasuke didn't delay further, got up, said goodbye, and left. However, before leaving, he didn't forget to finish a cup of black tea. This was a matter of politeness.
Natsuki watched Sasuke leave, but his peripheral vision caught a hidden figure. He clearly recognized it was that guy Sai, and his eyes immediately turned cold.
Of course, this wasn't directed at Sai, but at Danzo.
That old geezer Danzo is still not at peace.
He actually had Sai monitor Sasuke. The Uchiha only have this one descendant left, and you've even dug out all the deceased's Sharingan and put them on yourself. What else do you want?
Moreover, he's even monitoring up to my doorstep. Do you really think young people are easy to bully?
Natsuki thought about whether he should find something for the old geezer Danzo to do, like revealing to Nagato Uzumaki and Konan that Danzo and Hanzo of the Salamander conspired to kill Yahiko. He wondered if the two would come to kill Danzo regardless of the consequences. Even if they wouldn't, when they invade Konoha, they should at least specifically seek out Danzo to settle the score.
In short, the old geezer deserves to die. The Ninja World would be much more peaceful without the old geezer.
Natsuki closed the door and was met with Tenten's worried eyes.
"Is Sasuke really okay like that? I know he wants to gain power, but becoming a Jinchuriki or something, is it too risky and aggressive? You know, Naruto has never been able to control the Nine-Tails well, and Gaara's One-Tail also goes berserk."
Tenten was genuinely worried about her companion. Although she understood in her heart, she didn't really agree.
Natsuki patted Tenten's head, "Everyone has their own choices. I think it's already quite good that Sasuke didn't follow Orochimaru for power back then. Now he just wants to become a Jinchuriki, so why not? Becoming a Jinchuriki allows you to gain power, and besides revenge, you can also protect your comrades. So why not? As for Naruto and Gaara's situations, one is because they are young and can't control it well, and the other is because they don't know Sealing Jutsu."
Speaking of which, Natsuki decided to tell Tenten about the power of Sealing Jutsu.
He pulled Tenten into his arms, his chin rubbing against her small shoulder, "Sealing Jutsu is a very magical thing. The first Jinchuriki in the Ninja World was the First Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Mito. She came from the Whirlpool Clan. Not only did she have a vast amount of Chakra, but she also had a powerful Sealing Jutsu that sealed the Nine-Tails without any temper. She also became a perfect Jinchuriki because of this, able to unleash the Nine-Tails' absolute power!"
Tenten listened intently, "The Nine-Tails' absolute power? Isn't that terrifyingly strong?"
Natsuki affirmed, "Naturally, it's very strong 570! Uzumaki Mito also became Konoha's stabilizing force because of this. Even if the First Hokage died, even if the Second Hokage died, even if a great war broke out in the Ninja World, the war would not reach the Village, because all the Villages in the Ninja World were wary of Uzumaki Mito's strength!"
Tenten hummed. She liked stories about these legendary women.
However, Uzumaki? The First Hokage's wife's surname is Uzumaki?
Is there any connection to Naruto?
Natsuki didn't answer this question but continued to talk about Sealing Jutsu, "So, Sealing Jutsu is very important. It's the correct power to deal with Tailed Beasts. Sasuke has mastered the Four Symbols Seal and Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. Becoming a Jinchuriki will not be dangerous, at least much safer than Naruto and Gaara."
"Okay, since you said so, then help Sasuke."
Tenten naturally believed Natsuki's words, so she stopped worrying.
Moreover, she also understood that this matter needed to be kept secret, and naturally wouldn't tell anyone about it. She didn't want to see Sasuke suffer the same fate as Naruto.
Although villagers' gossip doesn't physically harm you, sometimes it is very hurtful. Shakumo Hatake was killed by public opinion, and Naruto was also bullied by villagers with cold violence and even real violence. His childhood was truly miserable.
If Sasuke also encountered cold stares and even curses from villagers, given Sasuke's mental state, it's hard to guarantee he wouldn't turn to darkness.
At that time, no one would be able to save these ignorant villagers.
