章節 100: Challenge to Nine-tails

The Day After the Kage Summit...

Our village, along with others, began getting ready for the looming war.

During the Kage Summit, Madara and another member of the Akatsuki showed up and declared war on the entire Shinobi world. The kages gathered to discuss this threat, and they decided that Konohagakure and Kumogakure would lead the Shinobi alliance in the battle ahead. Most of the leaders agreed to this plan, and everything seemed to be moving forward smoothly. However, out of the blue, the Raikage brought up something unexpected.

He proposed that the two remaining tailed beasts—the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails Jhinchuriki—should not take part in the upcoming war that the Akatsuki had declared against the Shinobi world.

But for obvious reasons, Granny Tsunade and I were against the Raikage's proposal. Why, you ask? Because no village would leave its strongest shinobi out of an important battle like this.

Whether I'm the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki or not, I'm still the Hidden Leaf Village's strongest ninja. After a lot of back-and-forth arguments, the Raikage finally agreed with us.

That was three days ago. Now, the village is bustling with preparations for the upcoming war. Everyone seems busy with their duties. As for me, I'm sitting alone at the training ground all by myself.

At first, Granny Tsunade wanted to assign me to a crucial position in the war effort, but I turned it down.

Because, one thing I realized a long ago, working as a team is not my cup of tea, I'm not good to fight or lead a team

I'm good while fighting alone, and that's my plan for the war as well, though I'll provide support to the Shinobi alliance, I will do things my way

Once, I used to dream about becoming Hokage and leading our village. I thought it was my destiny. But now, things have changed. I just want to be myself. If the village needs me, I'll give my best when the time comes. But I've come to understand that being Hokage isn't meant for me.

I spent several days training to improve the techniques I've mastered over the years. Despite all the battles I've fought as a Shinobi, there are still many techniques I haven't tried yet.

I've realized that I'm so powerful I haven't even needed to tap into the full extent of my power.

One important thing I've discovered is that I still need to learn how to control the Nine-Tails' power within me. Other than that, I've achieved most of the techniques I need for defense and offense in battles.

They say , Tailed Beasts really powerful, Am I strong enough to defeat a tailed beast ?

There is only one way to find out , and that's challenge the Nine-tails....
