Chapter 343 The Third

The return of Minato and Jiraiya and the arrival of Yakura with the defeated troops declared the complete failure of this mission. After that, it was unknown what decisions the Rain ninja and even Akatsuki would make.

Tian Country is the country secretly controlled by the Akatsuki organization, and it is also the place where the heretic demon statue is placed. It is still an underground cave with only one ever-burning lamp in the huge space.

The cold and ferocious upper body of the heretic demon statue is exposed above the ground. Among the nine eyes, only two are open. Next, the third eye will open.

While dealing with the Sand Ninja and Konoha's elite teams, Konan and Kakuzu took White Zetsu's clone to the Sand Ninja Village, with the purpose of heading towards the One-Tail Jinchuuriki.

In order to attack and weaken the Rain Ninja Village, the Suna Ninja dispatched an elite team of nearly thirty people. Even excluding the Suna Ninja who went out to perform tasks, the remaining force in the village was not weak.

Konan and Kakuto sneaked in late at night, relying on Konan's perception ability to find the location of the first jinchuriki at the minimum cost, and started a battle with the sand ninja who was responsible for guarding.

As quickly as possible, he got rid of the Sand Ninja who was in charge of guarding, and also successfully captured the young One-Tail Jinchuuriki, while the White Zetsu clone recovered the ring.

The noise caused by the battle can naturally attract the Suna Ninja in the Suna Ninja Village. Under heavy siege, Kakuzu lost four hearts, and Konan relied on paper wings to gain the ability to fly, so the injuries sustained during the battle It's not heavy, and relying on this flying ability, combined with the wind escape that Kakuzu used along the way, the two worked together to get rid of the Suna Ninja's pursuit.

The first jinchuriki was taken away, and the Sand Ninja Village fell into a heavy haze. From the beginning of the third Ninja War, there seemed to be a pair of black hands that had been targeting them.

Konan and Kakuto, who successfully captured the first-tailed Jinchuuriki, rushed back to the Rain Ninja Village as soon as possible. Nagato took the first-tailed Jinchuuriki to visit Tian Country. This process also gave everyone time to rest. time.

The two tasks were carried out at the same time. Everyone in Ling Xiao was basically injured. It took about a day to rest, no more, no less, at least to recover to a state where sealing could be carried out.

After Nagato arrived at the underground cave, he used the Magic Lantern Body technique to summon everyone, and twisted and trembling black shadows were projected around the ever-light lantern.

After appearing, Ye Zi glanced at everyone present, his eyes finally fell on Shizang, and said: "Nandou, are you okay?"

Hearing Ye Zi's symbolic condolences, Shizang snorted and said in a deep voice: "I can't die."

At that time, Ye Zimu's clone spent all his chakra to create the tree world, dividing life and death. He also took this opportunity to decisively retreat. Without being sure whether there were pursuers, he was very cautious all the way. While speeding up the retreat, try to erase the traces as much as possible.

Finally, I felt relieved after leaving the Country of Fire and returning to the Country of Rain. However, the injuries that had been simply treated worsened further.

Hearing Shizang's cold response, Ye Zi withdrew his gaze. He had really forgotten Shizang at that time. Fortunately, everything was fine, and Xie...

Sensing Ye Zi's gaze over him, Xie, who had changed his appearance, slightly tilted his head and said nothing.

Judging from the shape of the black shadow, it seems that Scorpion must have casually found a replacement in just a few days. Not to mention his strength, he at least ensured his ability to move.

After confirming that Xie Xie was in good condition, Ye Zi once again withdrew his gaze and landed on a child of about three or four years old in front of the evergreen lantern.

Under the short red hair, there is a fair and tender face, and the closed eyes are surrounded by slightly thick dark circles. At this time, the child's sleeping expression looks very comfortable, without any preparation for death.

As a one-tailed Jinchuuriki, once he falls asleep, the Shukaku in his body can take the opportunity to go berserk. Therefore, the Sand Ninja who has been guarding the surroundings since his birth is also responsible for the Jinchuuriki's inability to sleep, even though the Jinchuuriki is still young. , and cannot take this risk.

This time, because Nagato has placed a seal, even if he falls asleep, Shukaku can only stay there, and the one-tail jinchuriki can take advantage of this to have a good sleep. This sleep may not wake up. .

This child is the One-Tail Jinchuuriki... Next, after the nine seals of the Phantom Dragon are used, the only fate for this child is death.

Ye Zi watched silently. The black shadows surrounding him were all people who were used to seeing life and death. Everyone's hands were covered with blood. Even if a child's life was to be taken away, there would be no trace of it. Reaction.

"I lost four hearts this time and almost died." Kakuzu complained. This was the second time he sneaked into the Sand Ninja Village. If it weren't for Konan's ability, he would probably have to leave it there.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Nagato looked around at everyone, his tone was calm, and with one sentence, Kakuzu's possible continued complaints were cut off.

"Old rule, in the three days from now, please pay attention to your own situation."

Without any nonsense, we went directly to the topic. Everyone present showed no mercy at this moment.

Having sealed it twice, everyone was already familiar with it. Standing at a specific position, they started to seal the Nine Magic Dragons.

The dragon in the form of chakra floated out from the mouth of the heretic demon, and pounced on the jinchuriki lying on the ground. Under the light blue light, the jinchuriki slowly floated in the air, from his mouth, Chakra was pulled out of the nose, ears, and eyes, and headed towards the mouth of the heretic demon.

As time goes by, the more chakra is absorbed, the weaker the one-tail jinchūriki's vitality becomes.

While the seal was being sealed, everyone was silent, making the dark underground cave seem extremely quiet, with only the subtle sound of chakra output.

Three days passed by in a flash, and the heretic demon opened its third eye. The seal was completed, and the one-tailed Jinchuuriki lying on the ground was silent.

Three already…

Ye Zi silently thought in his heart that the next target should be the Five-Tails Jinchuuriki... Speaking of Five-Tails, he is the person in the Iwa Ninja Village who can use steam.

He had devoured the memory of a young boy and had a strong hatred for the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki, which had also caused some trouble to him. If he wanted to implement the capture plan, he would have to do it by himself, regardless of whether he had to deal with the incomplete memory of that soul. My wish is to take revenge for that time.

"finished."

Nagato's indifferent gaze glanced over the body of the First-Tail Jinchuuriki, and then looked at the third eye opened by the heretic demon.

"The next target is the Five-Tailed Jinchuuriki?" Ye Zi asked.

In order, the second-tailed jinchuriki is the priority target, but it doesn't matter. Now that the Kumo ninja is powerful, and the protection of the jinchuriki is very strong, the current period is not suitable to attack the two-tailed jinchuriki.

Moreover, the order of the seals does not matter. According to Nagato, the nine tails can only be placed at the end. Even if the other tailed beasts are sealed out of order, the impact will not be great.

"That's right." Nagato responded to Ye Zi's question and said, "We'll wait until you recover. After that, we have to see what the movements of the Sand Ninja, Konoha, and Mist Ninja are before we can make the next plan."

Kakuzu needs to replenish his heart, while Scorpion needs to find a suitable container and about ten human puppets. This requires a lot of time and energy. Shizang does not have the resilience of Ye Zi and others. If he wants It also takes some time to recover from the injury.

After this operation, at least the core members must be allowed to recuperate for a period of time.

Therefore, everyone has no objection to this, including Ye Zi. He can also take advantage of this period to create more talismans, and then he can start reincarnation in the dirty earth.

However, it is not yet known what kind of follow-up actions the Sand Ninja, Konoha and Mist Ninja will take. This matter will be left to Nagato.

Ye Zi likes to see this situation. Every time Nagato takes action, he can collect more intelligence.

With comparison, he also knew that his power was not strong enough... Yes, it was far from enough!
