Naruto: I become Jinchūriki and Ophis is sealed on me!

Minato looked at Xin, his eyes full of questions. "Is this why you've always kept your distance from the higher-ups? Because of all this?"

"What do you think?"

Xin replied with a smirk. "And don't think for a second they haven't been keeping an eye on me. On you, too. We've both been getting a little too close to Kushina, and she's the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails."

Xin explained the concept of Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki to Minato, who broke out in a cold sweat as he listened.

What the hell is this?

Minato thought, feeling the weight of this new knowledge. Getting close to a Jinchuriki could get you taken out? What kind of twisted logic is that?

Did that mean Kushina was supposed to be isolated, kept away from everyone? What would have happened if he'd done something to upset the wrong people? Would the Anbu have come for him?

And the Tailed Beast... that terrifying thing was sealed inside Kushina.

Suddenly, Minato found himself even more intimidated by her.

"Alright, that's enough for tonight," Xin said, standing up and stretching. "Get some rest. Tomorrow, we'll contact Tsunade and figure out how to handle this situation. Then we can all relax a bit."

But Minato and Nawaki couldn't sleep, no matter how hard they tried. Xin eventually left them by the campfire and took a walk around the area.

The people of the Hidden Grass Village hadn't been lying-there were indeed Stone Village ninja lurking in the Land of Grass. But they weren't looking to attack the village. There weren't even that many of them.

Xin suspected they were there on some kind of mission.

As for the Hidden Grass Village itself, it was clear the Stone Village didn't see them as a threat.

The next day, Xin took Nawaki to a secluded spot and summoned Manda. You had to hand it to the creatures of the Great Three Sage Lands-they were tough. Manda, who'd been beaten badly by Ophis, was already mostly healed.

As soon as Manda appeared, it eyed Xin warily, but with a submissive air. Xin raised a hand and said, "Alright, that's close enough. I summoned you to deliver this scroll to Orochimaru. During the war between the Hidden Rain and Konoha, if Orochimaru summons you, lend him a hand."

"Understood, master," Manda replied, swallowing the scroll and nodding its massive head, not daring to show even a hint of arrogance.

Xin nudged Nawaki forward and said to Manda, "My friend here wants to sign a summoning contract with one of your kind. Do you know of any suitable snakes that are still growing? And what about a green snake? Does the Ryuchi Cave have one like that?"
