"Ah, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki..."

With the Konoha-Iwagakure Tailed Beast Crisis successfully resolved, Fugaku Uchiha, utterly exhausted from overusing his Mangekyō Sharingan, shifted his gaze to the unconscious Yugito Nii lying on the ground.

He pondered how to deal with her.

Firstly, killing her was out of the question. As a high-ranking member of Konohagakure and with the knowledge passed down within the Uchiha clan, Fugaku knew that if a Jinchūriki were killed, the Tailed Beast inside would "die" along with them.

Being a mass of chakra, the Tailed Beast would separate from the Jinchūriki's body and eventually reincarnate somewhere else, only to be captured and sealed again by other shinobi.

For Konoha, this would bring no benefits—only the unnecessary hatred of Kumogakure.

Should he take her back to Konoha?

Although the Tsuchikage's words earlier were somewhat exaggerated, there was truth in them. The capture of a Jinchūriki, coupled with the fact that the Kumogakure garrison commander was likely a descendant of their high-ranking officials, could greatly provoke those brutes from Kumogakure, possibly inciting them to recklessly launch an attack on Konoha.

That would only benefit Iwagakure, who were watching from the sidelines.

In the grand game between great villages, allowing a third party to reap the benefits was unacceptable.

Engaging in war with another major village could lead to unpredictable consequences. Unless they refrained from direct involvement and waged a proxy war—which, from the perspective of major village game theory, was somewhat acceptable.

But now, Kusa no Kuni's western proxy, Kusagakure, had been destroyed by Konoha and Iwagakure working together. What extreme actions Kumogakure might take were unknown.

If they brought the Two-Tails Jinchūriki back to the village, Konoha would have to be prepared to drag the entire ninja world into conflict.

The situation in the ninja world was intricate and complex.

After much thought, Fugaku felt a headache coming on.

"If only Advisor Gojo were here..."

That way, he wouldn't have to ponder these far-reaching, interconnected matters.

The more critical the moment, the more Fugaku admired Advisor Gojo.

That's what strategists in the village's rear are for.

Frontline shinobi only need to devote themselves to the battlefield, follow orders, fight bravely, the commanders unleash Susanoo, and the rank-and-file unleash their jutsu. But strategists in the rear have to consider many things.

As Fugaku was deep in thought,

The sounds of battle faded.

More and more ordinary villagers of Kusagakure peeked out, their eyes timidly watching the shinobi lingering outside.

They looked at the Iwagakure shinobi with fear but gazed at the Konoha shinobi with joy.

Some villagers even noticed the bleeding wounds of Konoha shinobi and proactively brought out bundles of bandages from their homes to offer to them.

They welcomed the arrival of Konoha shinobi with open arms. Raggedly dressed villagers wept tears of joy, shouting that with the Konoha shinobi here, justice had arrived.
