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

"Kazekage-sama, this is the latest intelligence from the battlefield in the Land of Rain." An operative reported to the Third Kazekage, who accepted the scroll with a stone-faced expression.

"Thank you. With Konoha heavily engaged in Rain and Rock gearing up, should we not consider moving?" Pondered the Kazekage, his gaze drifting to the stormy skies outside.

"If I may, Kazekage-sama." The chief intelligence officer Ebizo interjected. "it might be wiser to let Konoha and Rain exhaust each other further."

The Kazekage knew the precarious financial state of Suna all too well. Lacking economic resources and dependent on the Daimyo's funding, which was growing scarce, the village was desperate for a solution that could ensure its survival and independence.

The session in the office grew tense as strategies were debated, with each decision bearing the weight of Suna's future.

...

A few days after passing the Chunin Exam, the trio received a notification from the Anbu and headed together to the Hokage's office. The village had a mission for them.

"I told you, once we became a Chunin team, there's no way the village would just let us sit idle. Minato, don't get too worked up, from now on, you're our team's captain."

"What?"

"Why?"

As Minato was pondering what kind of mission the Hokage would assign, he was completely baffled, pointing at himself.

He thought his ears were playing tricks on him.

Xin was making him the team captain?

"Because I see you have an extraordinary talent for martial arts, a crucial position like team captain is tailor-made for you."

"Pfft-"

Watching Xin spout nonsense with a straight face, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but laugh.

Minato, with a full head of frustration, looked at him speechlessly, Do you think I'd believe you? You must be kidding.

"Cough, cough!"

Xin cleared his throat and said, "Anyway, from now on, you are our team's captain, and you'll handle all our external communications."

"..." Minato

I knew it, Xin, you're up to no good.

So, you're just too lazy to deal with negotiations and dumped the captaincy on me, how cruel of you!

What if I don't want to do it either?

Minato looked hopefully towards Uchiha Mikoto.

But when he turned around, he found that Uchiha Mikoto had already moved to Xin's side, pulling out her homemade lunchbox.
