However, despite what was said, Tsunade ultimately took out a pair of metal chains and tightly bound the unconscious Eight Tails.
These chains were made of Chakra Metal inscribed with special seals capable of sealing the chakra of a tailed beast. Although the Tailed Beast can be freed from these chains easily. As long as Natsuo is in Konoha, it is of no use to the Eight-Tails to free himself from the chains.
And then...
The entire Konoha village knew about the incident where Natsuo captured the Eight-Tails.
"As expected of Uchiha Madara's successor, Natsuo is truly strong!"
"He was able to easily defeat the Eight-Tails, so I think there shouldn't be any problems on the battlefield against Kumogakure."
The residents of Konoha were filled with excitement. It had been a long time since Konoha had had such a shocking victory in a war.
During the Third Hokage's era, although Konoha was still the largest shinobi nation, they were constantly asked to compromise and make concessions...
But Natsuo simply went and dominantly destroyed all the enemies.
Furthermore, with the Eight-Tails and the Raikage falling into Konoha's hands, the outcome of the war against Kumogakure had already been determined. The lives of the Konoha troops on the front lines against Kumogakure were now completely protected, and the residents of Konoha no longer needed to worry about the safety of their loved ones there.
Although the ninjas didn't say it, their eyes looking towards the Uchiha residence were filled with admiration and gratitude.
Some ninja whose families were not on the battlefield against Kumogakure also had high hopes for Natsuo. They hoped that after recovering he would be able to resolve the other battle fronts and provide the same level of security to their families.
For a time, public opinion in Konoha was full of praise for Natsuo.
Only Fifth Hokage Tsunade covered her forehead, wearing a helpless expression.
After all, the Eight Tails is a strategic weapon and a political legacy that cannot be abandoned. But let's not talk about the fact that we are still in wartime, just the fact that the Raikage and the Eight-Tails are prisoners captured personally by Natsuo, the village cannot make decisions on its own.
After all...
'Natsuo has proven to have the power to single-handedly defeat one of the great shinobi villages. Furthermore, the way he took revenge on the Raikage for the actions taken against his children has scared many people...' Tsunade thought to herself. 'How can the village go against him at a time like this?'
Even if the Raikage is completely consumed by despair and regret, considering himself a Kumogakure criminal. But without Natsuo speaking, it is clear that no one will give any release to the Raikage, who has aroused Natsuo's ire.
Natsuo's exploits in destroying the Kumogakure camp, capturing the Eight-Tails, and crippling the Raikage have shocked countless major clans in Konoha.
"Is this guy really that strong?" Hyuga Hiashi swallowed his saliva silently, his eyes full of shock.
The Hyuga clan's Byakugan can perceive the chakra of others, and Natsuo naturally falls within its perception range.
That intense aura and gigantic chakra are enough to make it difficult for anyone to face him. Even the strongest of the Hyuga, Hiashi, has no chance of winning.
Hyuga Hiashi was originally too proud to take Natsuo seriously, which is why he didn't bother to see how strong he was. But after returning from the battlefield against Kumogakure what he saw made him scared...
"Who could have imagined he would be so strong." Hyuga Hiashi sighed bitterly. "If I had known he was this strong, why would I have said those things to him?"
Back then, when the Uchiha clan was declining, Natsuo offered a large sum of money to have a child, and there was actually a Hyuga woman who was tempted by it.
However, Hiashi stopped it and angrily scolded Natsuo for lacking the glory of the Uchiha clan and willingly falling into decline, saying he was unworthy of being a ninja...
But now...
What a load of nonsense! Your decline has turned into overpowering tailed beasts and cutting down the Raikage? If Natsuo still holds a grudge from back then...
Hyuga Hiashi suddenly felt uneasy.
But luckily...
Hyuga Hiashi looked at Neji and showed a hint of relief. "Neji, it seems that my old eyes are blind, only you have enough insight to recognize a good teacher."
Before Neji graduated, he was already hanging out with Natsuo, and after graduation, he didn't even meet the teacher assigned to him by Konoha, and instead directly became Natsuo's disciple.
This made many elders of the Hyuga clan furious. How could a child as talented as Neji be led astray by a mere Natsuo?
At that time, Hiashi was also quite dissatisfied, but because of the guilt he felt towards his younger brother who sacrificed himself in his place, he finally decided to accept Neji's choice.
And now it seems...
"I'm just a little luckier...". Neji slightly lowered his head, his expression also somewhat complicated.
When he first became a disciple of Natsuo, he knew that Natsuo was very strong, but he never thought he could be this strong now. He thought at most he would be at Kage-level, who knew he would end up being so powerful?
But this is also good. Neji squinted his eyes, with a hint of joy. His plan for the revival of the Hyuga clan will go more smoothly.
"By the way, Clan Leader." Neji suddenly spoke: "Although it may be a bit blunt to say this, I think Miss Hinata should try to get closer to the Uchiha clan..."
"How about this, I will take on the role of Hinata's private tutor, and after school, I will bring Hinata to train with the Uchiha clan... I believe we can definitely improve the relationship between the Hyuga and Uchiha clans."
Neji remembered that although Natsuo treated his wives as 'equals', there were always some people in this world who were more 'equal' than others.
When Neji first became Natsuo's disciple, once in a moment of frustration he complained that Hinata lacked potential. But Natsuo mentioned that Hinata possessed a Byakugan of great purity as well as one of the most powerful bloodlines of the Hyuga clan, and although he was not very sure about that, but...
For the future of the Hyuga clan, Neji thought it wouldn't hurt to push Hinata into the fire pit.
However, Hyuga Hiashi frowned: "Isn't that Sasuke boy supposed to be arrogant and indifferent towards girls? Do you really think he could become friends with Hinata?"
Hyuga Hiashi obviously misunderstood, thinking that Neji wanted to pair Sasuke with Hinata. After all, how old is Hinata now? She hasn't even graduated from the ninja academy yet.
How could Hiashi think that Neji wanted Hinata to start preparing to be Natsuo's wife from now on, just like Karin. After all he has seen the potential of Karin's bloodline, and according to what he heard from Natsuo, he would also value Hinata for the same reason.
So Hiashi was sure that Neji wanted Hinata to be Sasuke's training partner and to slowly develop some feelings.
Although Hiashi heard that Sasuke, who was ranked first in the ninja school, had no interest in girls and only thought that 'women only affect the speed at which he releases his ninjutsu' like a true iron man. But maybe he can fall in love with his daughter with Neji's help.
Although Hiashi feels disappointed with Hinata, who has average talent, she is still his daughter. Hiashi believes that if she can be protected by the Uchiha clan, then when he chooses her sister as the clan's next successor, the Uchiha clan will not allow her to be branded with the Caged Bird.
Neji showed an almost imperceptible smile, yes, this is the result he expected.
And next, just as Neji expected, Hyuga Hiashi says: "Since that's the case, you will be Hinata's private tutor."
"I hope you can change Hinata's weak personality."
Neji lowers his head, barely able to hide the smile that appears on his lips. "Yes! Clan leader!"
Not only the Hyuga, but other ninja clans are also surprised by the strength displayed by Natsuo, and secretly panic.
After all, when the Uchiha clan declined, many ninja clans coveted the Uchiha's assets and secretly made moves against their wealth.
But in the end, it was easily overturned by 'Uchiha Itachi'. Of course, now everyone basically guesses that it wasn't Uchiha Itachi who took action, but Uchiha Natsuo himself!
But the result hasn't changed, their relationship with the Uchiha is still unfriendly.
They are even worse off than the Hyuga clan. Although they are not as formidable as Hiashi in offending people, they don't have a connection like Neji does with the Uchiha.
Although there are some ninja clans, such as the Kurama clan, that have a great relationship with the Uchiha, because Kurama Yakumo has married Natsuo. But most ninja clans can be considered to have a strained relationship with the Uchiha clan at best.
Among them, the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan are the most panicked, followed by other ninja clans. In this state of panic, they quickly tried to suppress the Uchiha clan, bringing up Orochimaru's attack on Konoha, where Uchiha Natsuo stood motionless, watching as Sunagakure and Otogakure devastated the village.
"Don't be too happy." Said the leaders of the Sarutobi and Shimura clan. "Natsuo is not a good person! He has inherited Uchiha Madara's evil legacy and intends to lead Konoha down the path of war!"
If it weren't for the current war situation, no ninja clan would want such a powerful ninja to exist in Konoha. Perhaps these clans, fearful of Natsuo's retaliation, can really provoke a wave of opposition against the Uchiha.
Tsunade found this situation very difficult. Although she didn't believe that Natsuo would become a destructive force like Uchiha Madara, she also didn't think he would be as dedicated to the village as the First Hokage. And the most crucial point is that the Uchiha are indeed an unstable factor.
Tsunade remembers very clearly that Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage, once said that the Uchiha are a naturally evil clan!
This inherent evil doesn't mean that all Uchiha are bad people or lack kindness. It means that they are too extreme.
The Uchiha have rich, deep and extreme emotions. When they really love someone, they are even willing to give up the entire world for that person.
And once they lose that person, a unique and powerful energy emerges from their minds, and that energy is what allows the Sharingan to awaken.
Of course, there are ordinary Uchiha who are not extreme, but every person who awakens the Sharingan is an extremist. And those who awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan are even more extreme to the extreme.
And once they become extreme, they are prone to going down the wrong path. It's one thing for ordinary people, but unfortunately, the more extreme the Uchiha become, the stronger they become, and the more likely they are to cause great harm to society and the people!
That's why the Second Hokage considered the Uchiha to be evil.
Although Natsuo has not yet shown the extreme personality of Uchiha Madara, who wanted to destroy Konoha, or Uchiha Itachi, who destroyed his own clan.
Or, from the current situation, the revival of Uchiha, the growth of the Uchiha clan, the birth of many Uchiha children, and protecting them as they grow up...
This is Natsuo's extreme direction. Otherwise, how could a normal person have so many children like him?
Until now, he has had almost a hundred children, almost reaching the number of children during the heyday of the Uchiha clan.
Although this type of extremism is not necessarily good, it is much better than Itachi, who wiped out his own clan on a whim or Uchiha Madara who planned to destroy Konoha and killed his dear friend.
But Tsunade also can't be careless. "Although Natsuo may be an unstable factor in Konoha, but after the peace agreement with Kirigakure is finished being signed, according to the agreement, I will marry Natsuo."
Tsunade took a deep breath, her expression serious: "With me there, perhaps I can guide him and make him more stable, less extreme."
Although Natsuo has many wives, each with their own charm and attractiveness. But as the heiress of the Senju clan and Princess of the Land of Fire. Tsunade believes that none of Natsuo's wives can compare to her.
Tsunade proudly straightened her chest and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Which woman can compare to me?" Tsunade snorted arrogantly, full of confidence.
"And it is said that when a man becomes a father, his character will mature all at once. After all, even the most extreme person will soften when they see a cute baby... Isn't that right, Hikari?"
Tsunade used her fingers to play with her daughter, showing a happy smile on her face.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Hikari spread her small hands and laughed.
The fact that she still likes to call him 'daddy' even now, really annoys Tsunade. Who taught her that word? She clearly taught her to call her mommy!
Could it be...? Did Natsuo secretly teach her while I was away?
Tsunade pursed her lips, looked at the time, and felt that her daughter should be hungry, so she went to prepare the formula.
However, when he returned, he found Hikari playing with a branch, moving it with her hand.
"Where did the branch come from? Was it blown by the wind?" Tsunade found it strange but didn't think too much about it. She reached out and took the branch away.
This thing is not a toy for babies. It wouldn't be good if the child got hurt. However, what she didn't expect was that Hikari suddenly pouted and made a couple of grunting sounds.
Then he extended his small hand. A faint chakra surged, and a brand new branch, full of vitality, appeared in her hand.
Tsunade's eyes widened.
"This is... Wood Release?!"
"My daughter really awakened the Wood Release?!"
