Chapter 237: Uneasy Oonoki

There are only a few days left before the Five Kage Talks.

Ōnoki, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai, is now very irritable and uneasy.

Because in the recent period, the Four-tailed Jinchūriki, Lao Zi, and the Five-tailed Jinchūriki, Han, have disappeared one after another.

Thinking of the news from the Fourth Raikage that the Akatsuki Organization was capturing Jinchūriki, Ōnoki instantly determined that the disappearance of the two Jinchūriki must be related to the Akatsuki Organization.

The disappearance of the Four-tailed Jinchūriki, Lao Zi, is fine.

After all, this guy doesn't get along with Ōnoki and has been traveling outside the village. If he disappears, he disappears. Ōnoki will just treat this person as if there is no such person in the Hidden Rock Village.

But the Five-tailed Jinchūriki Han is different.

He is not as "rebellious" as Lao Zi, and he is also very convinced of Ōnoki. He is one of the rare high-end combat forces in the Hidden Rock Village.

"Contact Akatsuki and ask them if they really captured the two Jinchūriki from our village."

Because Iwagakure and Akatsuki had business dealings in the past, Ohnoki knew some ways to contact Akatsuki.

"Uh, father, excuse me, Akatsuki probably won't admit it, right?"

"I've told you so many times, you have to call me by my title when you're working."

"Okay, Lord Tsuchikage."

Looking at his honest son, Ohnoki sighed and said, "It doesn't matter whether Akatsuki admits it or not. What's important is to show the attitude of our Iwagakure."

The two Jinchūriki in the village are missing. If Iwagakure does nothing, wouldn't it make people think that Iwagakure is scared?

Ohnoki doesn't care whether Akatsuki did it or not. When everyone thinks they did it, the truth of the matter is no longer important.

What's more, in the current ninja world, who else would capture Jinchūriki besides their Akatsuki?

"By the way, you can be more firm when asking."

"Okay, Lord Tsuchikage, I will arrange it."

Akatsuki Organization of the Hidden Rain Village.

In order to seal all the tailed beasts as soon as possible, Black Zetsu was very worried.

Not only did he personally urge Pain to order the members of the organization to capture the Jinchūriki as quickly as possible, but he also made preparations for the subsequent war that might come.

"How is it, is there any news about the Six-tailed Jinchūriki?"

The treacherous situation in the ninja world forced Nagato to speed up the pace of sealing the tailed beasts.

Look, Black Zetsu was found by him as soon as he returned to the Hidden Rain Village, and it seemed that he was asking about the Six-tailed Jinchūriki.

"Found it, in an unknown village in the Land of Water."

"That's good, I'll go out in person this time."

"Hmm? Is this necessary?"

Black Zetsu was very surprised by Nagato's idea.

In his opinion, to capture the Six-tailed Jinchūriki, just send a group of people over, and there is no need for Pain's Six Paths at all.

"We have been making big moves to capture Jinchūriki recently. As long as the Kirigakure is not stupid, they will definitely be prepared."

"Do you think if we give this task to the others, they may fail?"

"Yes."

It must be said that Nagato's worries are indeed reasonable.

Every official member of the Akatsuki organization is very strong.

However, if they really have to face one of the five major ninja villages, the entire Akatsuki organization, except for Nagato's Pain Six Paths, the rest are really not good enough.

Wasn't the Third Raikage strong enough back then?

He was at the peak of ninjutsu and his physical defense was unparalleled in the world.

What was the result?

He was still killed by the Hidden Rock Village using the human wave tactics.

"Notify Itachi and the others, let them have a good rest these two days, and start sealing immediately after I capture the Six-Tails Jinchūriki."

"Okay, I'll notify them."

As soon as Tiandao Pain left, a Rain Ninja, a peripheral member of the Akatsuki organization, came to the base.

"Hmm? What are you doing here?"

Ze knew that this person was the main contact person for Akatsuki's external employment missions.

As Akatsuki had already begun to capture the tailed beasts, the external employment window had long been closed.

"Master Ze, I'm here to see the leader."

"The leader left for something. If the matter is not important, you can come back in a few days."

"This."

Seeing that this person was a little hesitant, Ze became interested and asked kindly: "Is the matter important?"

"I don't know if it is important or not."

"Then why don't you tell me first?"

This person also knew that the status of the formal members of the organization was different from that of these peripheral members.

Faced with the inquiry of the formal members, he could not refuse.

"This is what happened. The Jinchūriki of Iwagakure Village is missing. Inquiry"

"I see. I already know what happened."

"Well, how do we respond to Iwagakure Village?"

"Reply? Why do we need to respond? Just drag it out."

"Ah? Is this okay?"

"Why not? Just do as I say. Got it?"

"I understand."

After receiving Zetsu's order, the contact person left worriedly.

Standing in place, Zetsu looked at the direction where Tendou Pain left and whispered: "Fortunately Pain left, otherwise, with Nagato's temperament, he would most likely admit it directly."

"Then why didn't you let that person deny it just now?"

At this time, the White Zetsu attached to Black Zetsu spoke for the first time.

"Whether it is denial or admission, it doesn't make sense in my opinion. Now we just need to delay time."

Just when Nagato and Konan set off for the Land of Water to capture the Six-tailed Jinchuriki.

Tsunade brought Shizune to the Land of Water.

"Tsunade-sama, why are we here?"

As someone who was brought up by Tsunade, Shizune knows Tsunade very well.

After traveling in the Ninja World for so many years, Tsunade rarely went abroad and spent most of her time in the Land of Fire.

First, it was because the Land of Fire was the richest country in the Ninja World, and the casino industry here was also the most developed.

Secondly, most of Tsunade's connections are in the Land of Fire. If she loses money in the casino, she needs these connections to pay back the money.

The title of princess is not for nothing.

She is really related to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

So, Shizune was very surprised why Tsunade came to the less economically developed Land of Taki.

"After staying in the Land of Fire for a long time, you need to come out and change your mood occasionally."

Shizune didn't believe a word of what Tsunade said.

She guessed that Lady Tsunade was probably tired of gambling in the Land of Fire and wanted to experience the casinos in other countries.

However, as Tsunade's little follower, she also knew what to ask and what not to ask.

"So, Lady Tsunade, where are we going now?"

"Of course, we'll go to the nearest casino."

Hearing this, Shizune, who had confirmed her guess, immediately whispered, "Ha, I knew that Lady Tsunade would never change her gender."

"Huh? Shizune, what are you talking about?"

Shizune waved her hands and explained in a panic, "I want to ask, Lady Tsunade, do you know where the casino is?"

"I don't know."

"Then you still..."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at Shizune and continued, "But we can ask."

"Ah?"

"What? Go ask."

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Looking at Shizune, who was panicking and looking for passers-by to ask about the location of the casino.

Tsunade stood there with her arms folded across her chest, frowning and thinking about something that the Third Hokage told her when she returned to the village some time ago.

"Tsk, this damn old man, he really knows how to cause trouble for me."
