8 Chapter 8 : Danzo At Guy's Home
In a live broadcast room, a fiery red collar suddenly appeared, and a brief introduction appeared below it.
[Beast Control Circle: It can control any beast, suppress the animal nature of the beast, and perfectly control the behavior of the beast, suitable for summoning beasts and tailed beasts!]
As this item appeared, the expressions of many legendary beasts changed.
For instance, White Snake Sage and Great Toad Sage were among them. They had once served as summoned beasts to the Sage of the Six Paths.
However, in the early days, they had acted as equals with the Sage of the Six Paths. If they were subjected to a Beast Control Circle, wouldn't they be entirely bound?
[Ichikishimahime: This shouldn't exist!]
[Tagitsuhime: I agree!]
[Tagorihime : I also agree!]
[Fourth Hokage: Guy, after the rewards are distributed, could you swap the least useful item with me for the reward, extract the Beast Control Circle, and give it to Naruto?]
[Guy: Lord Fourth Hokage, please rest assured; this is a minor matter.]
[Nine Tails: What the heck, Minato, what are you planning? I don't want to wear that thing. If you dare to put that on me, I'll kill your son!]
[Fourth Hokage: Nine Tails, you're here too!]
[Nine Tails: I have always been here!]
[Eight Tails: Nine Tails, I'm on your side this time; what a mess, let's not wear it!]
[Naruto: @Nine Tails, hello, you are the Nine Tails in my body, can we coexist peacefully?]
[Nine Tails: Coexist with your uncle? Do you think I want to reside in your body? Boy, if you dare to put that Beast Control Circle on me, just wait and see.]
As time passed, reward items started appearing in the live broadcast room and were claimed by ninjas one by one.
Although the rewards towards the end became less enticing, they still generated excitement.
Meanwhile, a group arrived at Guy's residence.
…
"Lord Danzo!"
Guy respectfully addressed him.
Even though he didn't particularly like Danzo's character, Danzo held a high position in Konoha, second only to the Third Hokage, and courtesy was necessary.
"Guy, I want to exchange your Water of Life," Danzo stated directly.
"Lord Danzo, I'm afraid I must disappoint you; I won't trade the Water of Life," Guy firmly refused.
Danzo's expression grew cold. "Guy, I'm not asking for the Water of Life for my personal use; it's for Konoha and for you as well. There's only one vial of the Water of Life. If I bring it to the Root and allow our researchers to study it, we might be able to replicate more Water of Life. Besides, I don't need all of your Water of Life; I only require half of it."
"No!" Guy rejected the proposal once more.
The Water of Life was a scarce resource, and if he had less than half of it, he might not survive if he ever needed to activate the Eight Inner Gates in the future.
Moreover, he doubted Danzo's ability to comprehend such mysterious matters. Danzo likely had his own ulterior motives and wanted to hoard the Water of Life.
At that moment, a few more individuals arrived. The leader was the Third Hokage, accompanied by Kakashi and other Jōnin.
"Danzo, what are you trying to do?" Sarutobi Hiruzen inquired.
Danzo promptly responded, "I want to exchange for the Water of Life. If we study it, we might be able to produce more Water of Life."
Kakashi interjected, "Lord Danzo, the Water of Life is Guy's lifeline. In the future, Guy might need to unlock the Eight Gates. If the Water of Life is depleted, it may cost him his life."
Sarutobi Hiruzen added, "Danzo, the Water of Life belongs to Guy, so please don't make any presumptions."
For Sarutobi Hiruzen, Guy was currently more valuable and represented one of Konoha's trump cards, whereas Danzo's role was somewhat diminished, and in terms of strength, he wasn't as powerful as Guy, who could open the Eighth Gate.
Moreover, Guy had obtained numerous valuable items from the Taijutsu List, which would significantly boost his strength and potential.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't allow Danzo to cause trouble for Guy.
"I understand," Danzo conceded and departed.
"Guy, don't worry; as long as I'm here, no one will dare to covet your Water of Life. Additionally, the establishment of the Konoha Taijutsu Department is imminent, so you'll need to work even harder in the future," Sarutobi Hiruzen reassured him.
Guy promptly replied, "Yes, Lord Third Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen left, but Kakashi remained behind.
"Guy, quickly show me those rewards," Kakashi urged, his curiosity piqued.
He had a close relationship with Guy, one that could be a matter of life or death, so there was no need for formality.
"Of course," Guy replied.
He retrieved the Water of Life, Gravity Bracelet, and Dragon Tiger Pills one by one and showed them to Kakashi.
"These are all incredible items!" Kakashi remarked, his envy evident.
Suddenly, Guy handed Kakashi one of the Dragon Tiger Pills and said, "Try this Dragon Tiger Pill and see if it has any effect on you. Your Chakra reserves are quite low, and the Dragon Tiger Pill is a treasure that can enhance your strength. According to its description, it should also boost your total Chakra."
"It's yours, I can't take it," Kakashi refused.
Guy opened the bottle containing the Dragon Tiger Pill and said, "There are twenty Dragon Tiger Pills in this bottle. Giving you one won't make a significant difference. If your Chakra improves, your strength will increase exponentially. Otherwise, you'll fall behind in terms of strength."
"You're quite the character," Kakashi remarked, no longer resisting. He swallowed the Dragon Tiger Pill in one gulp.
Boom!!!
The energy from the Dragon Tiger Pill flooded Kakashi's body, enhancing his tendons, bones, and internal organs.
Kakashi's Chakra reserves were meager due to his constitution and blood vessels, which limited the Chakra that could be extracted from his cells. However, the Dragon Tiger Pill fundamentally altered Kakashi's physique, fortifying his body and transforming his bloodline.
While consuming the Dragon Tiger Pill, Kakashi distinctly felt his Chakra refining at an astonishing pace, with his total Chakra constantly increasing.
In no time, the energy from the Dragon Tiger Pill was fully absorbed.
"Well, how do you feel?" Guy asked, filled with curiosity.
Kakashi excitedly replied, "Guy, my total Chakra has tripled, and my physical prowess has soared."
"It's incredibly effective!" Guy was equally amazed.
Afterward, he gave Kakashi five more Dragon Tiger Pills. He wanted to give more, but Kakashi declined, concerned for his well-being.
Once these five Dragon Tiger Pills were assimilated, Kakashi's strength would likely undergo a remarkable transformation.
Soon, all the rewards from the Golden List live broadcast room's Taijutsu List were distributed.
According to their agreement, Guy completed the exchange of rewards with Namikaze Minato and obtained the Beast Control Circle.
Despite incurring some losses, Guy didn't mind. After all, he had acquired numerous rewards, and the loss was insignificant. If this resolved the issue of the Nine Tails within Naruto's body, it would greatly benefit Konoha.
