Chapter 58: The Correct Way to Earn Kyubi's Fragments (Part 1)
Hiruzen was very sure that the person who revealed the news to Fugaku this time was Zhang Miao.
In Hiruzen's opinion, Zhang Miao should have a very large intelligence organization behind him. If he could even get the news that Uchiha Madara was still alive, then he should know about Danzo's little mess.
Moreover, Hiruzen could see that Zhang Miao was very concerned about Ying, and because she had died in the hands of the "Root", so it was normal for him to hate Danzo.
In addition, Zhang Miao often went to Fugaku's home during this time, so he deliberately revealed this news to Fugaku and let the latter deal with Danzo.
After settling everything, a bitter smile appeared on Hiruzen's face.
"This child is really a genius!"
Regarding Zhang Miao's abnormal behavior, whether it was the Ying, Kakashi, Fugaku, or Hiruzen, they only had one evaluation of that kid.
A Genius!
In this world full of Bloodline Limit, it was very difficult to be given the title of "genius" by others.
With the help of the System, Zhang Miao's body developed to three-year-old child's before he was even a year old. Hiruzen did not feel strange about this, because he had seen even more strange monsters than Zhang Miao. But of course, it was impossible to call him a genius just because of this.
Hiruzen called Zhang Miao a genius because of his strength and wisdom!
When he was in the Hokage's office, when Zhang Miao took out his pipe, Hiruzen was surprised to find that Zhang Miao's taijutsu was very powerful. Not only was his movements fast, but his attacks were also very accurate.
It was like Zhang Miao's sense had been honed through countless battlefields, and Hiruzen was certain that in terms of taijutsu an ordinary Chuunin was not a match for Zhang Miao.
Moreover, what shocked Hiruzen the most was that when they were fighting, he felt that there was an astonishingly powerful chakra within Zhang Miao's body!
The strength of this chakra even surpassed an ordinary Jonin.
When he came to this conclusion, the shock in Hiruzen's heart was indescribable.
He already knew that the vitality and chakra of the Uzumaki clan members were the strongest among all the clans. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be famous for their Sealing Jutsu.
However, this was the first time he had encountered someone like Zhang Miao, who was not even a year old but already had the capacity of an elite Jonin.
If it weren't for Zhang Miao's lack of Nine-tails chakra, Hiruzen would almost have thought that Minato had sealed the Kyubi on Zhang Miao's body!
After the Kyubi was sealed, it was Hiruzen who brought Zhang Miao and Naruto back to Konoha. Although Zhang Miao and Naruto had the Eight Trigrams Seal on their bodies, Hiruzen could feel that only Naruto had the Nine-tails chakra in his body, but Zhang Miao didn't.
So at that time, Hiruzen concluded that the Kyubi was in Naruto's body!
As for what was sealed in Zhang Miao's body, although Hiruzen was curious, he did not care too much about it, but now he had a trace of doubt.
"Could it be that a part of the Kyubi was also sealed in Ryunosuke's body, but because the seal was too strong, I couldn't feel it? Otherwise, why would he have such a powerful chakra?"
Hiruzen did not know that in fact, Zhang Miao's Eight Trigrams Seal only contained a small amount of Minato's and Kushina's chakra. The dead couple did this so they could meet their sons again after they grew up.
However, it was actually normal for Hiruzen to think like this, because unlike taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu that could be learned quickly if one had good talent, chakra was different. It took time and practice to obtain.
Chakra was composed of two parts. One was the physical energy extracted from every cell in the body, and the other was the spiritual energy obtained through training. It was a necessary condition to use a jutsu.
If one lacked chakra, they would not be able to support their hard-hitting taijutsu. If one lacked chakra, then they would not be able to use powerful ninjutsu. If one lacked chakra, then the genjutsu they used wouldn't be able to shake their opponents!
Most people would never be able to reach the level of a Jonin in their entire lives, and their biggest limiting factor was chakra!
In other words, chakra was the important standard to measure the strength of a ninja and their future achievements!
Although Hiruzen did not know why Zhang Miao had such a huge amount of chakra at such a young age, he was sure that as Zhang Miao grew older, his chakra would only increase.
Therefore, Hiruzen was looking forward to what extent Zhang Miao would grow in the future.
Not only does this child have a good ninja talent, but he also has extraordinary wisdom. Perhaps, in the future, he will surpass the Fourth Hokage and even grow as strong as the First Hokage.
Thinking of this, Hiruzen suddenly felt a little distressed.
"But, how can I get him to become the Hokage?"
Hiruzen was not worried that the people behind Zhang Miao would teach him bad things. After all, Zhang Miao lived around the village, and Konoha's influence on him was definitely much greater than those who did not even show their faces.
Although he didn't know t the specific reason, from the Wuy's actions, Hiruzen believed that as long as he could make Zhang Miao loyal to Konoha, the people behind him could be used by Konoha.
Therefore, the key to everything was still Zhang Miao!
After coming to this conclusion, Hiruzen immediately picked up his pipe and took a deep breath. His face also revealed a kind smile.
"It seems that I have to care more about this child in the future!"
Zhang Miao did not know that because of what happened today, his position in Hiruzen's heart had risen again. At this moment, he was holding the crying Naruto with a sad face.
"This is already the second slap, but it still haven't come out it. What should I do? Do you want to get slapped for the third time?"
Today, giving Naruto a "Slap of Love" every day had become Zhang Miao's routine. This was not only to collect the younger child's ninja fragment, but also to collect the Kyubi's fragments.
In Zhang Miao's view, Kyubi was the strongest tailed-beast, and he was very strong. In the original plot, with his four-tails form, Naruto could seriously injure Jiraya, and crush Orochimaru.
Therefore, in Zhang Miao's view, as long as he could recruit Kyubi, his safety would be guaranteed.
However, what made Zhang Miao frustrated was that the fragments of the Kyubi were not that easy to collect.
Everything was fine before, as long as he rewarded Naruto with his "Slap of Love", the system would informed him of the acquisition of both Naruto and Kyubi's fragmens.
Naruto was still in his infancy, he only produced 1 fragment every day. But the Kyubi was a real 8-star Kage-level Beast. According to the system, the highest quota for fragmentts of his level should be twenty fragments per day.
But the fragments dropped never reach this number. Sometimes it was seven or eight, sometimes it was four or five. There was no pattern at all.
However, Zhang Miao did not care too much about the situation. After all, Naruto was only a Jinchuuriki of the Kyubi. It would take time to obtain the required amount of fragments. Therefore, it was inevitable that there would be some deviation along the way.
Therefore, Zhang Miao thought that as long as he could collect some, it would sill be good.
However, what Zhang Miao did not expect was that as time passed, the yield of Kyubi's fragments began decrease, and the fragments became more and more difficult to collect.
In the past two days, even if he gave Naruto a "Slap of Love", the system did not prompt about obtaining the Kyubi's fragments. When he hit the second time, there would be a prompt like about obtaining a single Kyubi's fragment.
It was like a consolation prize given by the Kyubi, which made Zhang Miao very unhappy.
In Zhang Miao's opinion, Naruto was his biological younger brother. He felt distressed for when he slapped him. But now, he had to slap him twice while only getting one fragment as a result.
This situation immediately made Zhang Miao have some doubts.
"Could it be that the way I collected the Kyubi's fragment was actually wrong?"
