Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 74 : Red Hot habanero famous all over the world

Fire Nation, Konohagakure

The Third Hokage and other senior officials gathered to receive reports from the frontlines.

The battle in Black Cloud Forest had come to an end.

The Uchiha clan, led by Uchiha Mikoto, had defeated the infamous Kumo Shinobi Raiding Squad.

Among the fallen was none other than the son of the Third Raikage—A.

The ruthless defeat forced the Kumo forces into a full retreat from Black Cloud Forest.

Konoha had secured a decisive victory.

Upon hearing the results, the Third Hokage's face lit up with satisfaction.

"As expected of the Uchiha Clan."

Even the feared Kumo Raiding Squad had been repelled.

It was quite the surprise for the Third Hokage.

"Danzo, Homura, Koharu, do you see now? If we can ease tensions between the Uchiha clan and the village, it will be greatly beneficial to Konoha."

"What are our casualties?" he asked.

"Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan's casualties are within an acceptable range," a subordinate reported.

"I see... Very well. The Uchiha have strengthened our village's reputation. After the war, they will be rewarded handsomely. Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Victory over the Cloud Shinobi was a significant achievement.

Even Danzo, Homura, and Koharu felt a sense of relief.

However, the power demonstrated by the Uchiha Clan unsettled them.

The fact that they emerged victorious without devastating losses made them even more of a threat.

For now, this minor battle could be overlooked, but the war between Konoha and Kumo had nearly reached its conclusion.

Yet, Konoha could not afford to lower its guard.

Because Kumo was not their only enemy.

Iwa, Suna, and even smaller factions like Takigakure were beginning to stir.

Even Kirigakure had its eyes set on Konoha, though its movements were less pronounced compared to the other great nations.

The war was far from over.

But this victory against Kumo was worth celebrating.

Among the five great nations, Kumo prided itself on strength and raw power above all else.

And now, Konoha had bested them.

It was a symbolic triumph, one that boosted the morale of Konoha's shinobi.

As the Third Hokage, Homura, and Koharu shared a moment of satisfaction, Danzo voiced his thoughts.

"Hokage-sama, we should use this war to weaken the Uchiha Clan."

The Third Hokage was silent for a few seconds, contemplating.

He hesitated, unsure of whether to even entertain such a proposal.

However, the three listened to Danzo's plan.

Once he finished, their expressions darkened.

Especially the Third Hokage.

"Danzo, what are you thinking?"

He immediately rejected the idea.

"You're suggesting we use our enemies to suppress the Uchiha Clan? Have you lost your mind? What do you think the villagers, the shinobi, and the entire village would say if they found out?"

Danzo's methods were always steeped in the darkness of Konoha's underbelly.

And now, he wanted to further his ambitions using the war as a tool.

"Danzo, your idea is too dangerous. The war isn't over yet. We can discuss internal matters after the situation stabilizes," Koharu interjected.

Homura nodded in agreement.

Neither outright opposed Danzo's plan.

They only argued that the timing wasn't right.

If weakening the Uchiha could ensure that another Madara would never rise, they were willing to consider it.

After all, decades ago, Konoha had Senju Hashirama to counter Madara.

If another Uchiha with similar power appeared, there would be no second Hashirama to stop them.

The war council lasted for hours.

After the meeting concluded, Danzo returned to the Root base.

In the dimly lit underground headquarters, a masked Root operative emerged from the shadows, kneeling before him.

"Lord Danzo, we have important intel from the frontlines."

"Speak."

"Uchiha Mikoto has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Danzo's eyes narrowed.

Then, his lips curled into a mysterious smirk.

"So that's why my right eye has been aching. It must know that it's about to be replaced."

A woman had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?

She had been hiding this power all along?

"Does the Third Hokage know about this?"

"Not yet."

Danzo's Sharingan had only reached the three-tomoe stage.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was beyond his grasp.

Until now, only two Uchiha in history had awakened it—Madara and his younger brother Izuna.

And now, Mikoto had become the third.

Danzo's desire for the Mangekyō Sharingan burned within him.

No wonder Kumo's elite force had been defeated.

With the power of the Mangekyō, it made sense.

Danzo's mind was set.

Once the war ended, he would make his move against the Uchiha Clan.

Perhaps he wouldn't even wait that long.

The war itself provided the perfect cover.

Land of Frost – Konoha's Camp

"Mikoto, the battle here is almost over. I'm heading to Kushina's side."

"Understood, Kurama. Be careful."

Mikoto was not afraid of Konoha's higher-ups discovering her Mangekyō Sharingan.

Because after this war, she, Kushina, and Kurama had a bigger battle ahead.

The conflict within Konoha itself was inevitable.

But through this war, they could gain the support of the majority of Konoha's shinobi.

By the time they made their move, the village elders would be powerless to stop them.

Meanwhile, in another sector of the battlefield, Kushina's name was growing in infamy.

Her main opponents were the forces of Iwagakure.

Among them, she had earned multiple titles.

No longer was she simply the "Blood-Red Habanero."

Now, she was known by another name—The Crimson Flash.

Wherever Kushina appeared, Iwa shinobi trembled in fear.

Her legend spread quickly among the enemy ranks.

Kumo, Iwa, Suna, and even Takigakure had heard the name.

The "Crimson Flash"—the terrifying demon of the battlefield.

This infuriated A, the son of the Third Raikage.

He had entered this war wanting to prove himself as the fastest shinobi in the world.

Yet now, another Konoha kunoichi had stolen his spotlight.

To make matters worse, she was the second Konoha woman to humiliate him.

First, he had lost an arm in battle against the Uchiha.

Now, a woman had overshadowed his speed.

The entire shinobi world mocked him.

Had he truly fallen so far?

Back in the Konoha camp, Kushina grinned as she saw Kurama approach.

She ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

" Kurama, it's been too long!"

The surrounding Konoha shinobi were left dumbfounded.

"Who the hell is this guy...? How did he manage to tame a demon like Kushina-sama?"
