Hijikata's expression hardened, and he asked with some concern.
"Yes, of course I agreed."
"If a Jinchuriki wants to control the power of a Tailed Beast, he must personally break part of the seal and actively draw on part of the Tailed Beast's chakra to train and adapt."
"This means that the Jinchūriki could go berserk at any time, so the risk is naturally high."
"However, in order to prevent any accidents, the Fourth Hokage also made detailed arrangements."
"The one leading this mission is Lord Jiraiya. I think you, Father, are well aware of his strength. As long as the Tailed Beast seal is not completely destroyed, with Lord Jiraiya around, we can handle any unexpected situations."
"Moreover, Wood Release ninjutsu and the Sharingan eye techniques of the Uchiha clan can suppress the power of the tailed beasts to a certain extent. At the very least, I have my Flying Thunder God technique to back me up."
"The Hokage's decision to assemble such a guard team was a result of careful consideration."
Minato's letter was actually very detailed. Minato was very open with Shinichi and didn't treat him like an outsider. The information he provided was very detailed and accurate.
Even so, the risk is still a risk; is there no way to shirk it?
Hiashi listened to Shinichi's explanation, his furrowed brows never relaxing. He didn't want his son to put himself in danger, even though the Fourth Hokage's plan was meticulously arranged.
"Well, actually I'm also very interested in the training of Jinchuriki, and I want to take this opportunity to learn more."
"Also, I've heard that Jiraiya-sama has mastered a special ninjutsu called Sage Art."
“I’m also very interested in that.”
"So I didn't refuse."
"Don't worry, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if something unexpected happens, I'm confident I can escape. Besides, isn't Jiraiya-sama here too?"
"With him around, nothing unexpected will happen."
Although Shinichi's words did not completely put Hiashi's mind at ease, he was able to glean Shinichi's own thoughts from them.
Since his son insisted, he couldn't object anymore.
Hearing that his son was interested in Jiraiya's Sage Mode, Hiashi could more or less sense his son's ambition.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it."
"You must be very careful. If anything seems amiss, leave immediately."
After all, the Nine-Tails' rampage had happened, so Hiashi was still somewhat wary of Jinchūriki and gave him a deep, solemn warning.
Hanako and Hinata didn't know what Shinichi and Hiashi were talking about. They didn't understand what a Jinchuriki was, but from Shinichi and Hiashi's conversation, they could roughly tell that Shinichi was going to carry out a dangerous mission. They looked at Shinichi with worried expressions.
Noticing his mother and sister's gazes, Shinichi smiled and changed the subject, asking about Hinata's student life.
When her brother asked about her school experience, Hinata became very interested and recounted what happened at school that day.
Hinata looked radiant when talking about Naruto defeating Sasuke, the genius of the Uchiha clan.
The meal passed quickly in a cheerful atmosphere.
……
Three days later, Shinichi Hyuga appeared in the Hokage's office as promised one morning.
After not seeing each other for a while, when Minato saw Shinichi again, he noticed that Shinichi's childishness had faded a lot, and as he grew older, Shinichi's face also had some sharp features.
What concerned Minato even more was that Shinichi's chakra had become much "heavier" in his perception. Minato didn't have a bloodline limit, so he couldn't explore the extent of Shinichi's chakra in his normal state using only sensory ninjutsu. However, after this meeting, Minato was certain that Shinichi's strength had definitely grown a lot.
Seeing Shinichi grow stronger, Minato became even more confident in his plan.
He was very concerned about Kushina's safety, so even when he let Kushina try to master the power of the Nine-Tails, Minato was trying his best to ensure Kushina's safety. To this end, he put aside his pride and asked his teacher to help, and even humbled himself to write a letter to Shinichi in his capacity as Hokage.
It can be said that Minato did everything he could for Kushina.
When Shinichi arrived at the Hokage's office, Yamato and Shisui were already there, sitting on the sofa quietly drinking water and waiting for the others. After a brief greeting to Minato, Shinichi received the mission-related information from him.
Guided by the water gate, the team members went to the rest area to look through the scrolls and check the information. At the same time, they were waiting for the arrival of the last member.
"boom!!!!"
After an unknown amount of time, a loud bang rang out from the side of the Hokage Building. A fierce wind howled, and sand and dust were swept into the room through the windows. At the same time, a dark figure entered the office as everyone raised their hands to shield themselves from the sand and dust.
"Yo!"
"Mount Myoboku! The Toad Sage!!"
"Since...then..."
As the strong wind subsided, a thick white fog suddenly rose outside the house with a loud bang.
Inside the room, another figure appeared in front of Minato's office. Jiraiya stepped on the ground with his wooden clogs, tossing his long hair and dragging out his name.
His unique entrance, much like the protagonist of a theatrical performance, left a deep first impression on everyone.
"Jiraiya-sensei." Minato, clearly used to this, greeted him with a smile, rubbing his forehead helplessly.
Shinichi and the others also got up from the sofa, bowed briefly, and looked at Jiraiya with curiosity.
Shinichi wasn't meeting Jiraiya for the first time, but it was the first time Shisui and Yamato had been so close to one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha. While they felt awe for Jiraiya's reputation, they were also filled with curiosity about him.
Compared to his reputation, Jiraiya's unique demeanor made people feel that he was not a proper ninja.
After glancing at Minato, Jiraiya's gaze quickly fell on Shinichi and the others. He had heard Minato say that he would arrange for a few elites to assist him, but when he looked up, he found that they were all young brats.
Noticing this, Jiraiya gently patted Minato's table and complained, "Hey! Minato, why are you all young people here?"
"You're letting these kids come with me on something this important? It's too dangerous!"
Jiraiya was never one to judge people by their appearance, but at this moment, he had this question. The matter of the Jinchuriki was far too important to Jiraiya; even he, seeing a group of inexperienced children, felt uneasy and questioned Minato's decision.
"Jiraiya-sensei, they are all elites I personally selected."
“I will definitely not let you down.”
"Now that everyone is here, let's head to the venue and give you a quick run-through."
"Only by understanding each other's capabilities can we deal with unexpected situations more calmly."
"Kushina is already waiting there, let's go."
As Minato spoke, he slowly rose from behind his desk. Hearing Minato's words, Jiraiya carefully examined Yamato and Shisui. As for Shinichi, he recognized him and knew that the kid could use the Flying Thunder God Technique. His earlier complaints weren't actually directed at Shinichi Hyuga, but rather at the two young men, Shisui and Yamato.
Hearing Minato say that, Jiraiya became somewhat curious about the abilities of these two kids.
Minato waved to Shinichi and the others. After they approached, Minato had them shake hands and then led them in using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
When everyone's vision returned to focus, they had arrived at the shore of a large lake, surrounded by dense forests. On one side of the lake was an open meadow, and on the other side was a towering rock wall with some wooden temples built on it.
This is the training base that Minato secretly built for them, located at least thirty kilometers away from Konoha.
By arranging this location, Minato also considered the aftermath of a Tailed Beast going berserk. It's clear that Minato himself wasn't entirely confident about Kushina's training; there's no way around it, as perfect Jinchuriki have become far too rare over the years. Compared to the number of perfect Jinchuriki, Tailed Beast berserk incidents have occurred dozens of times.
Watergate cannot afford to be careless.

The mountains are beautiful, the water is clear, and the greenery is lush.
Shinichi Hyuga looked up at the sky, and the bright sunlight made him squint involuntarily. The air was filled with the refreshing scent of grass, which calmed him down. Using his Byakugan to carefully examine his surroundings, Shinichi could also see the complex barrier enveloping the area.
"So this is the training ground prepared for Kushina-sensei."
"We've considered everything that needed to be considered."
The environment of being near mountains and water can purify the mind. The surrounding barrier can not only prevent external enemies from discovering this place, but also restrain the tailed beasts when they go berserk.
Moreover, this place is far from the village and surrounded by primeval forests, so even if the Jinchūriki really loses control, the village will have enough time to react.
Looking at the buildings on the cliff face, some basic living facilities, such as the water gate, should have been arranged long ago.
Thorough preparation also means that assisting Kushina in her training will be a long-term task...
"Kushina!"
Minato Namikaze arrived at the edge of the lake and shouted loudly towards the huge waterfall a dozen meters away.
Not long after the sound was heard, a red figure suddenly leaped out from the waterfall.
Kushina, clad in a tailed beast cloak, leaped out of the waterfall. In mid-air, a chakra tail behind her swayed gently as she fell, adjusting her posture.
"This is..."
When Jiraiya saw Kushina's current state, his expression froze, and he looked at Minato and Kushina.
"Jiraiya-sensei."
"Oh, Shinichi, I didn't expect you to be here too."
Kushina reached the shore, quickly concealing her chakra cloak. Seeing the familiar Jiraiya and Shinichi Hyuga, she smiled and waved. Her gaze then swept quickly over Shisui Uchiha and Yamato, and she said with a smile:
"This child must be Yamato from the Anbu, right?"
"You are Shisui of the Uchiha clan, the master of body stun!"
"I am Kushina, nice to meet you."
Kushina, who was much younger than Shisui and Yamato, extended her hand in a very familiar manner. Although it was their first meeting, Kushina's cheerful personality had already left a deep impression on Shisui and Yamato.
"Lady Kushina, I will do everything in my power to help you."
