Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Anime to American Comics

Chapter 54: The Tailed Beast Capture Plan

After hearing everything, Tobirama Senju smirked, a teasing expression on his face. "I bet you've been wanting to do this for a while now. Alright, since I've agreed, go ahead and handle it. But make sure you correct the atmosphere at the school."

From that point on, Chu Yang became even more reckless than the few troublemakers. Regardless of what they were up to, as long as they violated school rules, he would catch them and give them a good beating.

Begging for mercy didn't help at all. Each time, Chu Yang would only let them go home after thoroughly spanking them until their butts were swollen.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura as negative examples, the usual troublemakers at the school quickly quieted down.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's fiery red behind served as the best deterrent.

On the other hand, whenever conflict arose between the children from prominent clans and those from commoner families, Chu Yang paid extra attention. He would get a full understanding of the situation before deciding who was responsible.

Chu Yang's goal was to ensure fairness and justice, while simultaneously dissolving the small cliques forming among the students to prevent any serious divisions.

In practical classes, he would try to team up clan heirs and commoner students.

In some ways, Chu Yang might have been overthinking. After all, they were just children. Their sense of class consciousness often came from what their parents instilled in them. As long as this awareness was dismantled at school, they wouldn't turn into the people Chu Yang feared.

The Ninja Academy wasn't an ancient institution like Hogwarts, where a house like Slytherin continuously indoctrinated students with pureblood ideology. With proper guidance from teachers, the students' worldviews could easily be reshaped.

After a period of strict management, the atmosphere at the academy began to improve. The students got along harmoniously, regardless of their background—at least while they were in school.

Because Chu Yang had the support of both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, most of the clans accepted his "educational methods" by default. Only the Uchiha clan had some complaints, but even that was quickly suppressed by Madara Uchiha himself.

Madara Uchiha was quite fond of Tobirama Senju and Chu Yang at the moment. His actions were a way of repaying their support during the Hokage election.

This period wasn't just the rise of Konoha; it was also a honeymoon phase for the two great clans, showcasing unprecedented unity.

Other countries, seeing Konoha's rapid development, were also speeding up the process of establishing their own ninja villages.

In essence, they were copying Konoha's model wholesale.

However, they didn't realize that Konoha's strength was built on Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha—two individuals whose power was almost insurmountable.

This power was so formidable that it inspired awe and even pushed other nations' ninja forces to form alliances against Konoha.

As a result, the hard-earned peace was beginning to show signs of breaking.

To stabilize the situation and ensure peace, Hashirama Senju called for a special meeting, gathering all of Konoha's high-ranking officials. During the meeting, he made a shocking decision!

"I'm going to seal all the tailed beasts and distribute them evenly to each nation's ninja villages. As long as everyone has equal power, peace can be maintained."

Hashirama's plan was simple and direct, yet incredibly reasonable. Using the tailed beasts to balance power was something no one had ever dared to imagine.

After hearing his brother's idea, Tobirama Senju looked at him as if he were some sort of fool.

In the long run, this plan would indeed benefit Konoha's development, but it wouldn't be as profitable as capturing all the tailed beasts and using them to conquer the entire ninja world for total unification.

Chu Yang exchanged glances with Tobirama Senju.

Both master and disciple saw in each other the desire to conquer the world, and their views aligned.

Unfortunately...

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha didn't seem eager to fight. Both of them yearned for peace, which is why they had founded Konoha in the first place. They were tired of endless fighting.

Unless Izuna Uchiha died suddenly, Madara would not turn against the entire world.

Izuna Uchiha frowned and said, "Hokage-sama, capturing the tailed beasts is a massive project. Even aside from that, just determining their whereabouts would be incredibly time-consuming. Is it really necessary?"

As the head of the Anbu, Izuna Uchiha estimated the manpower available to him. If they were to focus their efforts on tracking the tailed beasts, Konoha's defense forces would be severely stretched thin.

The Anbu had only recently been formed, and it was far from complete in various aspects. The manpower was particularly insufficient, with most of the capable members still being elite Uchiha clan members.

Tailed beasts weren't just stray animals that could be captured at will. Each tailed beast represented one of the most powerful forces in the ninja world, and the cost to capture one would be astronomical.

"I support Hashirama's plan to capture the tailed beasts," Madara Uchiha explained. "Though it will consume a lot of time, energy, and resources, it's better than becoming a target of hatred. Once the other countries finish consolidating their ninja villages, it won't be long before they form an alliance."

Konoha was simply too powerful! If they didn't take action now, they wouldn't be able to guarantee their own survival!

Chu Yang whispered in Tobirama's ear, "Sensei, it seems that capturing the tailed beasts is unavoidable. But with Hokage-sama and Lord Madara, it shouldn't result in too many casualties."

"Then I agree with this plan as well." Tobirama Senju nodded and asked aloud, "Capturing the tailed beasts won't be difficult. The real issue is how we will distribute them afterward."

Hashirama scratched his head in frustration. He hadn't really considered that problem.

Everyone fell into silence. As Tobirama had said, distribution was the biggest challenge!

As the saying goes, it's not about having too little, but about distributing it unevenly.

If the allocation wasn't handled well, benefactors could turn into enemies.

Chu Yang smiled and said, "The simplest way is to distribute based on the number of tails. One-Tails and Eight-Tails, Two-Tails and Seven-Tails, Three-Tails and Six-Tails, Four-Tails and Five-Tails. The group with the Eight-Tails will naturally be stronger, so we should prioritize giving them to weaker countries."

Everyone asked in unison, "What about the Nine-Tails?"

Chu Yang replied, "We can choose a neutral power, such as the Uzumaki Clan from the Land of Whirlpools. They're also skilled in sealing techniques and can help us seal the tailed beasts."

Hashirama and Tobirama both gave Chu Yang strange looks, while Madara Uchiha chuckled quietly.

"If I remember correctly, the Uzumaki Clan is distant relatives of the Senju Clan, right?" Izuna Uchiha said with a smile. "So, in the end, it's like giving the Nine-Tails to Konoha."

Chu Yang coughed and said, "That's a secret only the Uchiha know. The other ninja villages don't have a clue. Besides, being distant relatives is one thing; the Land of Whirlpools is still its own country. Good relations and being like family are two different matters."

Hashirama sighed and shook his head. "I just hope they won't take issue when they learn about the hidden details later."
