  With those eyes, he could signifitly enhahe vilge's military strength, whether for attag other Shinobi vilges or for defending their own.

  Fugaku Uchiha's Susanoo had deeply impressed Minato.

  'These eyes, apart from the different pattern in the pupils, could also summon Susanoo, couldn't they?'

  "Kaigetsu-kun, in your opinion, who should be entrusted with these eyes?"

  Like Gojo Kaigetsu, Minato Namikaze, as Hokage, was pletely focused on the vilge. The first thihought of after obtaining the eyes was to whom he should give them to maximize the bes.

  If it had been a more selfish Kage, they might not have sidered the burden on the body that these eyes would bring and would have put them on without hesitation. Or, they might have stored them in a Wood Release box as a family heirloom.

  But now, Minato had made the most impartial choice.

  The capable rise, the mediocre step aside, the inpetent are dismissed!

  Only Konoha's bravest warrior deserved these plundered Mangekyo Sharingan!

  "The most correct choiaturally, is to give them to ae Jonin of the Uchiha with three-tomoe Sharingan. Repg their three-tomoe with these eyes, the vilge would immediately gain a Kage-level Shinobi! In this turbulent Shinobi world, the vilge gaining a Kage-level Shinobi is the safest choice."

  Minato subsciously hen asked, "You said… the most safest choice? Does that mean there are other, less safe, but still acceptable options?"

  "Of course~ The sed option is to give these Mangekyo to Tsunade, or to the members of the Uzumaki who retly joined Konoha."

  "As the st bloodline of the Senju , Tsunade herself possesses a massive amount of chakra, enough to support the ption of 'Susanoo.' Tsunade is already a titled Kage-level Shinobi. Getting these eyes would be like adding flowers to a bouquet! Oep further on a hundred-foot pole, the increase in strength would be limited. The be to Konoha as a whole might not be as great as giving the eyes to ae Jonin of the Uchiha."

  Then, Gojo Kaigetsu raised a third finger. "There's also areme option. Do you want to hear it?"

  "Speak!"

  Gojo Kaigetsu's ideas, Minato knew, were always worth listening to.

  Although he thought the first or sed option was already excellent, and the final result would probably be a choice betweewo, he still wao hear what the extreme option was.

  "Give these eyes to Kushina, or to your and Kushina's child!"

  Uchiha Madara's path to adva was the Eternal Mangekyo plus Hashirama's flesh, which be seen as the bination of Indra and Asura's chakra, or the bination of the Senju body and the Uchiha eyes.

  These eyes, from a different timeline, bined with the Kamui left eye in this timeline, could create oernal Mangekyo Sharingan.

  The Sage Eyes were already in pce. And Naruto Uzumaki was the Senju body, plus the reination of Asura's chakra… Gojo Kaigetsu thought it was worth a try.

  The iment potential was huge~ It was pletely different from giving these eyes to a member.

  One nning for the present, the other for the future…

  As for Kushina, as the most orthodox ails Jinchuriki, if she opened Susanoo, she might be able to achieve the feat of "Susanoo-iails" alohat improvement would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap.

  The only drawback was that on the day of childbirth, she couldn't very well be birthing Naruto while p up a giant mecha.

  Minato's mouth widened unsciously, inexplicably feeling that it was very reasonable.

  Minato finally uood everything and raised a finger. "Hey! Kaigetsu-kun, I think yetting off track. Why 't we have it all?"

  "Before Kushina gives birth, give the eyes to Tsunade-sama; after Kushina gives birth, give the eyes to Kushina; after my and Kushina's child grows up, give the eyes to him!"

  "One person fights for the present, one person guards the middle, and one person fights for the future. Maximize the bes!"

  "Smart!"

  Gojo Kaigetsu smiled knowingly. Minato was finally thinking on the same wavelength as him.

  Now… the present was secure, the future was secure; the core was secure, the image was secure.

  They'd won big, so to speak.

  "Cough, alright, with the 'hard power' of these eyes settled, let's… talk about 'soft power.' The matter of priorities wait."

  "Soft power… Right, Kaigetsu-kun. Speaking of which, I haven't had a ce to tell you. Just before you came in, Su us a message via the red hotline."

  "What?"

  "Suna wants Konoha to take the lead in holding a joint in exam, open to the entire Shinobi world!"

  Joint in Exam!

  This was a signifit event. To be able to aplish such a thing during a Kage's term, regardless of the final oute, was certainly enough to be recorded in the history books.

  The in Exam system established by the Sed Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was also the exam for promoting Genin to in. It was held twice a year, and generally, it was an important occasion for allied nations to observe each other's national strength.

  The invited guests sisted of nobles, important officials, ahy merts from their own try and allied nations. Tickets were also sold to the general public… It showcased the vilge's military strength while also attrag siderable iment.

  And those participating in the in Exams were generally only Genin from their own vilge.

  Each vilge held their own exams. No oerfered with anyone else.

  On the one hand, it was for the sake of peace; oher hand, without absolute certainty of victory, losing to another vilge was a very embarrassing thing and might affect the Daimyo's subsequent funding and the issions issued by wealthy patrons…

  Of course, nothing was absolute.

  If the Genin participating in the exam could dispy some unique qualities of their own vilge, they could still gain the reition of mahy patrons and increase the number of issions.

  For example, Suna and Kiri Shinobi mostly showcased the harshness of their systems. The fierce vibe of not giving up until the mission was plete, no matter the cost, hy patron would be unmoved.

  Holding a Joint in Exam for the Shinobi world was an unpreted event.

  Sihe establishment of the Shinobi vilge system, fifty-one years ago, no vilge had gaihe unanimnition of the Shinobi world to hold a Joint in Exam through multiple factors.

  Konoha… might be able to create history!

  The reason given by the Fifth Kazekage, Baki, was alshtforward: the Shinobi world was currently in a turbulent state, with u. It needed a bae to step forward, take charge, and maintain this hard-won peace…

  Baki's true iions, Minato didn't know, but this fttery was truly effective, as if it had been tailor-made for him. No matter how you looked at it, it made Minato feel fortable.

  Whether it was for the sake of "leaving a mark in Shinobi history" or for "peaceful development," Minato was happy to hold such a Joint in Exam.

  In terms of talent reserves between in and Genin, Konoha was undoubtedly the most numerous! In other words, Konoha would be the beautiful flower, while the other vilges would be the supp green leaves.

  Thinking of showing the prosperity and strength of Konoha uhe Fourth Hokage's rule to the entire Shinobi world, Minato couldn't help but puff out his chest with pride.

  "A Joint in Exam, huh~"

  Gojo Kaigetsu looked nostalgic. This could also be sidered a major event in the Shinobi world.

  Holding a Joint in Exam had many bes. With "Iki" and "The Forest Reader" having such a long cultural offehe nobles and merts of the Shinobi world were likely already yearning for Konoha.

  But not all the rid powerful were fools. Before they personally came to Konoha for a thh iigation, they wouldn't casually loosen their purse strings. No one's cash came from strong winds, nor did anyone's power… well, this was true.

  Seeing Konoha iy, seeing if it was as different from the Konoha in the books as possible, they could make a killing from these rid powerful individuals who were practically begging to be fleeced.

  Apart fring a certain amount of eic growth to the vilge, he could also see the quality of this batch of Konoha Genin. Arrogance leads to failure. Letting them get a taste of the outside Shinobi world early on was also excellent.

  Thinking about it, Gojo Kaigetsu said, "Konoha hold the Joint in Exams, but we o be fully prepared."

  Minato's excitement subsided. "Kaigetsu-kun, what do you mean?"

  "It's not hard to uand, Minato," Gojo Kaigetsu nodded. "The further behind Konoha the other four vilges are, the more anxious they bee! It's likely that they're all thinking about how to slow down Konoha's development and narrow the gap."

  "We have to be vigint, in case their idea is ter a war during the in Exams. Konoha o have a way to deal with it."

  "The location of the Joint in Exams 't be within Konoha. If war breaks out, it will cause immeasurable damage to Konoha's stru." Gojo Kaigetsu took out a pen and drew a circle on the map of Konoha.
