Shindai proposed educating people on the nature of Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts, hoping to help them understand the importance of these beings to a ninja village, and suggested making Naruto a hero.
Yamanaka Inoichi listened to Shindai's proposal with confusion and asked, "But isn't the relationship between Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts common knowledge?"
Shindai shook his head. "How could that be? If they really understood, they wouldn't naively think Naruto is just the incarnation of the Nine-Tails or say things like 'we should eliminate the Nine-Tails.' The fact that they can say such things proves they don't understand the importance of Tailed Beasts to the village at all.
"Back then, the First Hokage evenly allocated the nine Tailed Beasts among the Five Great Nations, leading the Five Kages to sign the first peace treaty in ninja history and achieving true peace for the first time.
"And now, each of the Five Great Nations still possesses its own Tailed Beast, creating mutual restraint and maintaining balance. So the system established by the First Hokage continues to this day.
"If I say the Nine-Tails is the foundation of our Konoha, I don't think that was an overstatement."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded enthusiastically, "It's not overstatement at all. It's the truth."
Shindai continued analyzing, "In my opinion, the reason people from all villages fear Jinchuriki is precisely because they don't understand how important Jinchuriki are. First, we must let them know what exactly a Jinchuriki is and what consequences losing both the Tailed Beast and the Jinchuriki would bring to the village.
"Then we need to make them realize that since the power of the Tailed Beasts is too great, they require a cage to contain them. The Jinchuriki serves as the prison for the Tailed Beast, sacrificing their lives for Konoha's future.
"Finally, we should publicize how Minato sacrificed himself and made the painful decision to seal the Nine-Tails within his own son, helping the villagers understand his sacrifice and greatness. Also, emphasize the high stability of the Jinchuriki's seal, which won't easily lose control. I believe most villagers will change their views.
"Now that Naruto's identity as the Jinchuriki has already been exposed, even if we suppress it, it'll only stop them from talking about it publicly. They'll definitely continue discussing it secretly anyway."
Minato Namikaze and others began seriously considering the feasibility of Shindai's idea.
Afterward, Minato spoke up, "I agree with what Shindai said. Since this matter has already been exposed, there's no point in keeping it secret anymore."
Hiruzen Sarutobi also added, "Then let's follow Shindai's idea and come up with a plan."
Shindai volunteered eagerly, "Leave this matter to me. I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!"
Minato Namikaze and five others exchanged glances. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, Shikaku Nara, and Yamanaka Inoichi all gave slight nods.
Smiling, Minato said to Shindai, "Alright then, Shindai, this mission is entrusted to you!"
...
Having voluntarily accepted the mission, Shindai returned to his Puppet Shop.
Seeing Shindai's return, Hikaku Uchiha asked, "How did it go?"
Shindai said confidently, "Who do you think I am? If I'm involved, this will definitely get resolved. Now, I need to build a few puppets and start spreading the word effectively!"
Full of motivation, Shindai immediately dove into his workshop to start crafting puppets.
Two days later.
Shindai looked at the eight brand-new puppets before him and nodded in satisfaction.
These puppets weren't technically sophisticated at all; they had just two advantages: long-lasting power and loud voices!
Shindai strategically positioned the eight puppets throughout Konoha.
After pressing the button, all eight puppets began moving along designed paths while shouting simultaneously.
Their message started with a basic explanation about the Tailed Beasts, making sure everyone understood what they were dealing with.
Next came the history of the First Hokage — how he founded the Hidden Leaf Village and later convened the very first Kage Summit, where the Nine Tailed Beasts were divided evenly among the Five Great Nations. The hope was to secure long-term peace across the ninja world.
Peace did indeed follow for a time in the ninja world. Even though conflicts eventually resurfaced, the presence of the Tailed Beasts acted as a powerful deterrent. For a while, they truly functioned as instruments of peace, keeping the balance intact.
However, since Tailed Beasts couldn't be controlled easily, there arose the need for a method to control them — this led to Jinchuriki.
Jinchuriki could manage and utilize the power of the Tailed Beasts, exerting influence capable of determining war outcomes. They've always been used as tools to balance power among nations.
Finally, it promoted Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki — explaining how the Hokage made the ultimate sacrifice for Konoha by sealing the Nine-Tails inside his own son. Naruto deserves to be seen as the true hero of the entire Leaf Village, not treated like some kind of monster.
In the end, some personal opinions from Shindai slipped in.
"As someone who made great contributions during the Nine-Tails' attack and someone you all claim to see as a hero — the owner of Shindai's Dream Workshop, that's me! Shindai — hear me out, from the bottom of my heart.
Don't fall for everything a few ill-meaning people say. You can't seriously believe such obvious provocations like calling him the 'Nine-Tails incarnation.' The Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails into his own child's body for your sake and for Konoha's safety — don't turn around and gossip or discriminate behind his back.
Some foolish people even question why he didn't just kill it then and there. What, do you really want to go up against enemy Jinchuriki yourself if other villages attack?
If the Hokage hadn't sealed the Nine-Tails, the damage to Konoha would have been far worse — could you still live peacefully here today?
Clearly, our village has some toxic elements trying to incite hatred against Jinchuriki. Without Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki, Konoha would be in grave danger. Truth be told, you'd be justified in bowing deeply to the Hokage's son.
If anyone thinks they can beat another village's Jinchuriki, come to Shindai's Dream Workshop and I'll personally take you straight to theirs for a showdown."
"If you're truly capable, I'll propose to Hokage-sama to have the Nine-Tails extracted from Hokage's child's body, and then Konoha will no longer possess the Nine-Tails. After that, all other Jinchuriki from rival villages will fall under your control — you'll become Konoha's true hero!"
"And finally, to those who spread rumors — may you rot from the inside out! May sores fester on your heads and pus ooze from the soles of your feet! May food pass through your backside and kill you overnight!"
"That's how real I am! I am Shindai, founder of the Dream Workshop! Interested in buying some top-tier puppets? Feel free to stop by anytime!"
The eight puppets crafted by Shindai broadcast his message across Konoha on a continuous loop.
Satisfied with this result, Shindai returned to his puppet shop for a rest.
Hikaku Uchiha stared wordlessly as Shindai strutted into the shop with chest puffed out. "Your self-promo was laid on way too thick," he muttered. "And that so-called heartfelt speech? That was just straight-up cursing people."
Shindai shot back smugly, "Hmph? What's wrong with throwing in a bit of self-promotion? Sometimes you've got to curse 'em — otherwise they don't learn their lesson!"
