Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Anime to American Comics

Since it was a foregone conclusion that the Nine-Tails would remain in Konoha, the Eight-Tails became the focus of the Four Kage's heated dispute.

They argued fiercely, each unwilling to back down. Once-proud ninja villages now sounded pitiful as they exaggerated their weakness, as if their nations would collapse without the Eight-Tails.

Hashirama and Madara exchanged glances, both smiling.

Chu Yang had predicted this scene long before the tailed beast capture plan had even begun. He had even devised a specific distribution plan.

As the four Kage reached a deadlock, Hashirama spoke up, "I have a suggestion. Perhaps you all could listen first."

The room instantly fell silent as the four Kage focused their attention on Hashirama, tense with anticipation. Their earlier arguments had been for his benefit, as they knew that this most powerful First Hokage had the final say in everything.

"Sunagakure will receive the One-Tail and Six-Tails, Iwagakure will get the Two-Tails and Five-Tails, Kirigakure will receive the Three-Tails and Four-Tails, and Kumogakure will get the Eight-Tails. As for the remaining Seven-Tails, it will be jointly held by the smaller ninja villages, with the Land of Iron as their representative, forming an alliance."

After Hashirama finished, the four Kage began to whisper amongst themselves, nodding in agreement as they did.

Tsuchikage Ishikawa couldn't help but exclaim, "To let the smaller villages jointly hold the Seven-Tails... Lord Hashirama's magnanimity is truly admirable."

Raikage A sighed, "I never even considered that possibility. I'm truly ashamed."

Hashirama chuckled, "Actually, this plan was proposed by Yang a long time ago. I'm just repeating it."

Mizukage Byakuren looked at Chu Yang in surprise, as did the other three Kage.

Their guards, all future Kage of their respective villages, also cast glances at him.

This young man's ideas were already influencing Hashirama!

"Does anyone have any further objections?" Uchiha Madara, who seemed to be in a rare good mood, smiled faintly, though his gaze remained as oppressive as ever. "Because if you have any second thoughts later, that would be considered provocation."

The four Kage's faces stiffened.

"I agree."

Raikage A was the first to nod. Although Kumogakure was receiving fewer tailed beasts than the others, they were getting the Eight-Tails, second only to the Nine-Tails, making it a worthwhile deal.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

One after another, the Kazekage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage all nodded.

Hashirama nodded in satisfaction and laughed, "I hope from now on, the Five Great Nations will have no more disputes and can coexist peacefully."

Everyone present shared a smile at that thought.

With the distribution settled, it was time for Konoha to collect its due compensation. Before departing, Tobirama had already drawn up a suitable price for Uzumaki Izuna to negotiate, so Hashirama didn't have to worry about it.

Just when Chu Yang thought the transaction would proceed smoothly, Uchiha Madara unexpectedly changed the terms.

He demanded that in addition to monetary compensation, each village must exchange one powerful jutsu.

The faces of the Four Kage changed instantly, and even Chu Yang was taken aback!

"Madara..." Hashirama stood up in surprise. This decision hadn't been discussed with him beforehand.

"Brother, this condition wasn't in Tobirama's plan..." Uzumaki Izuna hurried over to Madara's side, whispering a reminder.

But Madara ignored them and continued, "As part of the exchange, I'll offer a secret technique of my own as well."

Upon hearing this, the Kage's expressions softened considerably.

After a brief discussion, they eventually agreed to the new terms.

Madara smiled and pointed at Chu Yang. "Kid, tell them what jutsu you want."

Chu Yang: "???"

Once again, this young man had become the center of attention.

Despite doing nothing significant, he repeatedly found himself at the heart of the summit, forcing these powerful figures to turn their attention to him!

"Brother?" Uzumaki Izuna looked at Madara in surprise, but after a moment of thought, it made sense—he himself was quite fond of Chu Yang.

"Haha, Madara, you'll spoil him like this!" Hashirama walked over to Chu Yang and patted him on the shoulder. "Go ahead! Since Madara said it, I'm sure he has a reason."

Chu Yang nodded and fell into deep thought.

If there were a secret technique he wanted, the first to come to mind would undoubtedly be the Dust Release from Iwagakure's Second Tsuchikage, Mu.

This ninjutsu is a Bloodline Selection that surpasses the Bloodline limit, and it is the most powerful offensive technique that Chu Yang knows.

Unfortunately, due to the importance of this technique, even if Ishikawa agreed, Mu would never consent.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a secret technique of Iwagakure, comparable to a strategic weapon like a tailed beast.

This is the key to whether the future Tsuchikage can intimidate other villages.

Even if Iwagakure agreed to share it, without Mu's personal guidance, Chu Yang wouldn't dare to recklessly practice it with just training insights.

The Bloodline Selection fuses three different nature transformations.

It's harder to master than the Bloodline limit, with an extremely high chance of failure.

It might be better to settle for the Ultra Lightweight Rock and Weighted Boulder Technique.

Although this ninjutsu may not be as valuable as Dust Release, with Chu Yang's and Tobirama Senju's research abilities, they could fully exploit its principles to decipher other similar secret techniques.

For example, the Ultra Added Weight Rock Technique.

Exchanging one for many—definitely a good deal.

As for Sunagakure's Puppet Technique and Sand Manipulation Technique, Chu Yang is very interested.

Among them, the Sand Manipulation Technique is the one Chu Yang most wants to obtain.

However, the Sand Manipulation Technique was only developed by the Second Kazekage, Shamon, after acquiring the One-Tail Shukaku. Right now, he only knows the Puppet Technique.

Therefore, Chu Yang can only choose the Puppet Technique.

Kirigakure specializes in Water Release, but Chu Yang's teacher, Tobirama Senju, is also highly skilled in Water Release, possibly even more proficient than the Mizukage, Byakuren.

If Chu Yang wanted to learn Water Release, he could directly ask Tobirama for guidance.

Kirigakure's techniques don't hold much appeal to Chu Yang.

The only one that caught his attention was the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki's Steaming Danger Explosion Technique.

This technique can loop infinitely, and when used properly, it becomes a deadly weapon on the battlefield. Combined with Wood Release, Chu Yang alone could withstand an entire army of shinobi.

Chu Yang also had a little side plan.

To master this technique, he first needs to learn Gengetsu Hozuki's other special skill, the Water Release: Hydrification Technique.

This is like a buy-one-get-one deal. If you round it up, Gengetsu Hozuki really got the short end of the stick!

As for Kumogakure...

The most notable techniques from this village are the Lightning Armor and the One-Finger Nukite, both mastered by the Third Raikage, A.

These two techniques are known as the "strongest shield" and the "strongest spear."

There's no way to learn the One-Finger Nukite since it's the Third Raikage's unique skill, and at this point in time, he's still just a child.

As for the Lightning Armor, it's actually just a B-rank ninjutsu with the official name "Lightning Release Chakra Mode."

In Kumogakure, anyone who meets the requirements can learn this technique, though its effectiveness varies from person to person.

In the hands of the Third Raikage, it truly is the strongest shield.

In the hands of others, it's quite unremarkable, which is why it's only rated as B-rank.

If Chu Yang used this ninjutsu as a bargaining chip, the people of Kumogakure would probably think he's a fool.

So, the Lightning Armor can only be treated as a bonus.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chu Yang made his requests to the Four Kage one by one.

He asked for the Ultra Lightweight Rock and Weighted Boulder Technique, the Puppet Technique, the Steaming Danger Explosion Technique, and a Lightning Release ninjutsu manual personally written by Raikage A.

Of the four conditions, three were unrelated to the current Kage, instead targeting their successors.

It's no wonder that the Kazekage and others were surprised.

Even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama looked intrigued.

Where did this guy get all this information?

Could it be that Konoha's Anbu has infiltrated to such an extent?

The Four Kage felt a chill in their hearts but still nodded in agreement.

Uchiha Madara smiled.

From their reactions alone, he knew Chu Yang had made an extremely profitable deal.

With that, the purpose of the Five Kage Summit had been fulfilled, marking its perfect conclusion.

Everyone got what they wanted and set off contentedly on their return journey.

Chu Yang himself hadn't expected that he'd be the one profiting the most from this trip.

The two Uchiha brothers gathered and discussed something privately.

On the way back, Uchiha Izuna kept staring intently at Chu Yang.

Of course, it wasn't with malicious intent.

Even though Chu Yang felt uncomfortable, he still forced a smile, especially since Madara had given him such a generous gift.

It would feel too shameless to continue taking advantage of the Uchiha clan...

Chu Yang decided to change his strategic mindset when he got back, otherwise his conscience would be uneasy.

However, Senju Hashirama was even more awkward than Chu Yang.

The usually bold leader of the Senju clan was uncharacteristically shy when facing his new bride.

He kept sneaking glances at her but was too embarrassed to look directly, making Chu Yang laugh.

Such an amusing scene—he definitely had to share it with his teacher when they returned!

"Hashirama, after we return, I plan to get married as well. What do you think?"

Uchiha Madara suddenly appeared beside Senju Hashirama, startling him, as he had been focused entirely on his bride.

"What?" Hashirama's eyes widened in disbelief. "You, of all people, want to get married?"

"Objectively speaking, you're the real blockhead here," Madara glanced at him. "I'm only making this decision because it benefits the Uchiha clan."

Hashirama realized, nodding. "That sounds like you."

"Do you have someone in mind?"

"Someone in mind? That's irrelevant. As long as she's suitable for the Uchiha clan, that's enough."

"Huh? You're going to marry without love?"

"Do you love this woman, Uzumaki Mito?"

"Uh... hehe."

Seeing Hashirama scratching his head with an embarrassed grin, Madara got his answer, a faint smile appearing in his eyes. "I'll take your advice into consideration."

A moment later.

After Madara had walked away, Chu Yang sneaked over to Hashirama and whispered, "Teacher, what were you and Lord Madara just talking about?"

Hashirama waved him away as if shooing a fly. "You're too young to be poking around! Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Go away."

Left without an answer, Chu Yang felt extremely frustrated.

He had a strong feeling that the Uchiha brothers were looking at him strangely, as if they were hiding some secret.

After five more days of travel, they finally saw the gates of Konoha.
