"Crazy!"
Watching the mighty Tailed Beast and Minato Namikaze, who was considered the most likely candidate to inherit the title of Fourth Hokage, completely disregard their image and snatch food from the Tailed Beast's mouth, Kakashi, Rin, and the three of them finally couldn't hold back.
When they took their first bite, they finally understood that the Tailed Beast was not only fierce but also cunning.
They also understood why Minato said that Ichiraku Ramen was nothing compared to Kai.
Looking at the four people and one beast in front of them, covered in sweat from the spice, wiping their faces while stuffing their mouths, completely disregarding their image, Kai finally understood what it meant to have a hotpot date online and have it backfire.
This wolfish devouring, coupled with the sweat on their faces, was a force that even the Southeast Asian Three Great Sorceries couldn't resist.
If they knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg of Chinese cuisine, they would probably be paying Kai for food for the rest of their lives.
After a hearty meal, the Three-Tails and Uchiha Obito, looking mischievous, ran off to gather a bunch of river fish.
They planned to cook them the same way, but unfortunately, after trying several times, they only got the form, not the soul of the grilled fish.
In the end, they could only look at Kai with longing, like little resentful women.
Four fish, five people, and a Tailed Beast.
It wasn't enough!
"Alright, time is almost up. We should set off. This is the border of the Land of Water. The news of the Third Mizukage's death will soon be discovered. If we continue to stay here, we'll only become targets," Minato patted the dust off his clothes and stood up.
After resting for most of the night, they had regained some strength and chakra.
Moreover, Minato didn't want to reveal Kai's capture of the Three-Tails to outsiders too soon.
After all, the only people who could do this, besides Kai, were the First Hokage.
However, the First Hokage suppressed the Tailed Beasts, but each of them was unruly.
However, Kai had trained the Three-Tails to be like a goofball.
It was simply incomparable.
"Boss, get me something to eat. Get me some grilled fish, and I'll cut down ten people for you, each with a bloody slash," the Three-Tails wagged its three tails, squatted on Kai's shoulder, and patted its chest.
Kai rolled his eyes. "You're greedy. You're so big, how can I feed you? If you keep talking, you'll be eating raw fish from now on."
"Let's go now. Save me some energy."
"Oh!"
Facing this scolding, the Three-Tails instantly cowered.
It was a Tailed Beast, living on chakra, so it didn't actually need to eat.
However, after tasting the special grilled fish, it had clearly developed a taste for it.
Looking at the Three-Tails, which was perched on Kai's shoulder, occasionally making a comment, Minato smiled wryly and pulled at his hair.
He was having a hard time!
Konoha Village, Hokage Tower.
The originally dark office was lit up.
A series of hurried footsteps rushed into the office.
Besides the Third Hokage, there were also Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, and even Shimura Danzō was present.
"Sarutobi, why are you summoning us in the middle of the night?" Shimura Danzō snorted unhappily. "It wouldn't be because your battlefield command failed and something unexpected happened, would it?"
"This could cost you your Hokage position."
Looking at Danzō, who kept mentioning the Hokage position, the Third Hokage rolled his eyes helplessly. "Something big did happen on the battlefield."
"However, it wasn't our Konoha Village. It's the Third Mizukage of the Mist village, who was killed."
His quiet words, at this moment, were like a hypnotic spell, making the three advisors' expressions change dramatically.
Kage-level ninjas represented the leader of a village and were the greatest reliance and strength on the battlefield.
However, now, the Third Hokage was telling them that the most mysterious Third Mizukage had been killed.
This meant that the war between the Land of Water and the Land of Fire would come to an end.
"Sarutobi, is your information correct? Why didn't I detect anything?" Danzō asked urgently.
"Could this be a smoke screen deliberately released by the Mist village to trick you, then defeat our Konoha battlefield in one fell swoop?"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado nodded in agreement.
"Sarutobi, Danzō is right. There's no basis for this. If we make a wrong judgment, it could be a fatal blow to Konoha," Homura Mitokado said solemnly.
"No, the Third Mizukage of the Mist village was killed by someone from our Konoha," the Third Hokage said, his voice becoming serious.
The three advisors' expressions instantly changed.
Danzō couldn't hold back anymore. "Sarutobi, do you know what you're saying?"
"According to my information, the Third Mizukage is a Jinchūriki. To kill him, you would need at least Kage-level strength."
"In Konoha, the only ones who could do this, besides the former Sannin, you, and me, is Minato."
Seeing Danzō ignore them, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado didn't mind.
After all, they were different from Danzō.
Danzō was constantly trying to find ways to enhance his own strength in order to become Hokage.
They were just advisors, and they were clearly different.
"You're wrong. You've underestimated someone," Jiraiya walked in from outside.
"The one who killed the Third Mizukage is Uchiha Kai. He also captured the Three-Tails."
His quiet voice, at this moment, was like a hurricane sweeping through the entire scene.
The three advisors' expressions changed dramatically.
A moment ago, Danzō was bragging that to kill the Third Mizukage, you would need to be as strong as the Third Hokage or him.
Now, Jiraiya was telling them that a mere fourteen- or fifteen-year-old kid had reached the level they had spent half their lives striving for.
This was simply unacceptable.
"Jiraiya, is that true?" Danzō couldn't hold back anymore.
In his eyes, Kai was from the Uchiha clan.
No!
It should be said that anyone who threatened his path to becoming Hokage was a stumbling block.
"This is the information Minato had the toads deliver to me," Jiraiya took out two scrolls.
"There's another one, from the Three Great Toads of Mount Myōboku, about Kai's battle with the Third Mizukage."
"The Third Mizukage was backlashed by the Tailed Beast. Kai summoned the Three Great Toads to suppress the Three-Tails, then used his Mangekyō Sharingan to subdue it."
Summoning three toads at once?
Everyone present was dumbfounded. In their eyes, this was simply inconceivable.
Summoning three Summon Beasts at once not only required a massive amount of chakra, but also a deep understanding of Summoning Jutsu.
In the understanding of Danzō and the others, besides the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, and Uchiha Madara, the only ones who could possibly do this were.
They couldn't think of a third person.
Now, Jiraiya was telling them that Kai had actually done it.
This was beyond their expectations.
"Jiraiya, you said Uchiha Kai captured the Tailed Beast. Did he master a powerful sealing jutsu?" Danzō said urgently.
As a powerful Tailed Beast weapon of the village, they knew the difficulty of sealing a Tailed Beast.
If you didn't have the Uzumaki clan's constitution and become a Jinchūriki, you would have to pay the price of many Sealing Team ninjas, like other villages, to do it.
Now, Kai had captured a Tailed Beast all by himself. It was simply incredible.
"No, the information Minato sent back was strange. It seems like the Three-Tails wasn't sealed. Kai successfully tempted it with food," Jiraiya scratched his head and chuckled.
