- Chapter 124 Honoka's ArrangementAfter a good while, the two girls stopped crying and wiped away their tears.
Hanataba excitedly said to Rasa.
"Lord Rasa, how did you find Sister Honoka! I thought I would never see Sister Honoka again in my life!"
Honoka, as the older sister, was a few years older than Hanataba, and gently stroked Hanataba's head.
From Hanataba's happy smile, one could tell that Rasa was not lying.
She, who didn't like to talk, wasn't as lively as Hanataba, but looked at Rasa with grateful eyes.
"I'll tell you about that soon. Alright, take Honoka and find a place to sit down first."
"Okay!"
Hanataba naturally took Honoka to sit below Chiyo and Ebizo.
Only then did Rasa look at everyone present with curious faces and slowly said.
"Let me introduce you first, these two girls, one is called Honoka, and the other is called Hanataba, they are both orphans of the Uzumaki clan."
As soon as these words came out, Chiyo and Ebizo, who already knew Hanataba's origins, were not too shocked, but were a little surprised that Lord Kazekage could find another Uzumaki clan orphan besides Hanataba, but Yekura, Mikawa, Karura, and Maki were all shocked.
"The Uzumaki clan! Is it that Uzumaki clan?"
Mikawa asked in surprise, while looking at Hanataba and Honoka with eager eyes, making Hanataba a little nervous, Honoka took on the title of older sister and protected her younger sister.
"Well, there shouldn't be any other Uzumaki clan in the entire ninja world, right?"
Hearing Rasa's affirmative answer, Yekura, Mikawa, and Maki all gasped.
Because they understood too well what the Uzumaki clan represented, the bloodline that could suppress the Tailed Beast chakra and the powerful sealing techniques, these were all things that Sunagakure was currently lacking the most.
But unexpectedly, Rasa's next sentence made them fall into doubt once again.
"Before I say the next thing, there is one thing I must make clear, I brought Hanataba and Honoka to the village not to make them Jinchuriki, I hope you recognize this, even in the future, I don't plan to let the village continue to create Jinchuriki!"
As soon as these words came out, except for the two elders and Shingu, who didn't know what a Jinchuriki was, everyone else was instantly shocked.
Mikawa asked in complete incomprehension.
"Why? Other villages have Jinchuriki, if our village doesn't have them, we may lack very advantageous weapons of war on the future battlefield."
From this, it can also be seen that Mikawa's thinking still belongs to the old school of ninjas, cold-blooded and cruel.
"The reason is very simple, I have already discussed this matter with Elder Chiyo and Elder Ebizo, the creation of Jinchuriki is too dangerous and painful, as the Kazekage of the village, I will not let any child in the village take such a risk."
Mikawa frowned, although he also knew that creating Jinchuriki was very dangerous, and the growth process of Jinchuriki was also very painful, but if the village lost a weapon like the Tailed Beast, how would the village face the Jinchuriki of other villages in future wars?
Sunagakure was originally short of talents, and now even the power of Jinchuriki is gone, wouldn't there be fewer trump cards when facing the enemy in the future.
Seeing this, Rasa also knew that with Mikawa's thinking, it would probably be difficult to give up the Tailed Beast, so he said.
"What are your thoughts?"
For a time, the entire office fell silent.
Karura naturally supported her husband, and her face was filled with an encouraging gentle smile for her husband's kind behavior, while Maki, as Rasa's confidant, naturally did whatever Rasa said.
However, because of this, both of them knew that their words would not be convincing in the current situation.
At this moment, Chiyo, the most senior person here, said coldly.
"I support the Kazekage's approach, Hanataba's talent in medical ninjutsu is very high, I can completely train her into a ninja no weaker than Tsunade, Jinchuriki is just wasting her talent, and now Hanataba is my disciple, whoever dares to bully her, I will definitely not let him go."
Although it was a cold statement, everyone could hear Chiyo's intention to protect her, and Hanataba said with tears in her eyes.
"Grandma Chiyo! ! !"
Seeing this, Ebizo also echoed.
"The Kazekage is right, this old man has witnessed the danger of Jinchuriki creation and the controversy and hatred suffered during the growth of Jinchuriki since the time of the Second Hokage, this is not something ordinary people can endure, such a tragedy is indeed not suitable to be staged in the village, so, I also support the Kazekage's suggestion."
The two elders had spoken, plus Rasa, the Kazekage, which was almost enough to settle this matter, but Rasa still looked at the last person: Yekura.
Yekura was stunned by Rasa's gaze, and then snorted proudly.
"Don't underestimate me, I won't do that kind of thing that hurts my comrades!"
Then the three-to-one vote was enough.
Seeing this, Mikawa also knew that his opinion was no longer important.
"Since that's the case, then, from now on, let's abandon all plans related to creating Jinchuriki in the village."
Because Fuku was too old, in fact, in private, the creation and selection of new Jinchuriki candidates had been going on, and Rasa's words completely ended all of this.
After making the decision, Rasa didn't waste time and continued to arrange.
"Then next, it's the second thing, about Honoka's arrangement."
After speaking, he looked at Honoka, whose expression had become gentle, and the happy Hanataba and said.
"Hanataba, this matter is left to you, Honoka just arrived in the village, and there are still many unfamiliar places, so you, as her younger sister, will take care of her, you two will live together from now on."
Hearing this, Hanataba immediately looked at Rasa excitedly and happily, nodding her head sharply and saying.
"Don't worry, Lord Rasa, I will definitely take good care of Sister Honoka."
"Well, Elder Ebizo, Honoka's talent in sealing techniques is very outstanding, so, I plan to have her become your disciple, what do you think?"
Ebizo certainly had no objection.
"I understand, Lord Kazekage, I will teach Honoka well."
"Okay!"
This time Hanataba was even happier, even happier than Honoka, the person involved.
"That's great, Sister Honoka, Grandpa Ebizo is just as amazing as Grandma Chiyo!"
This time, Honoka did not refuse because of Rasa's autonomy, because she understood that Rasa was protecting her and Hanataba, with the two elders with the highest status in Sunagakure as teachers, no one in Sunagakure would dare to have any crooked thoughts about them.
So, she also bowed very politely to Ebizo.
"Greetings, teacher! ! !"
Ebizo nodded with satisfaction.
"No need to be polite, you will come back with me later!"
Seeing this, Rasa also continued to say.
"In addition to this, I have one thing to hand over to Elder Ebizo."
"Please speak, Lord Kazekage?"
"Well, I hope you can develop a barrier technique, a large barrier that can protect the entire Sunagakure."
This made everyone present a little puzzled, because with the terrain of Sunagakure, there was no need for such a barrier technique at all, nature was the most natural cover, but everyone also understood that since Rasa said so, he must have his considerations.
"I understand, I will give it a try!"
"Well! Then, finally, there is the third thing, but, I can't say this thing now, I have to wait until eight o'clock in the evening, I hope you all come here again..."
