The Raikage's explanation is quite reasonable.

Although, he may have had other selfish motives.

Shinki was too lazy to think about it further.

He had originally set his bounty targets on Hidan and Kakuzu, and now with the addition of a request from Kumogakure, his goals remained the same, but it was icing on the cake.

After consulting Naruto, who was standing next to him, Shinki nodded.

"We'll take on this commission together."

Raikage was also very generous. After seeing that Shinki had accepted the mission, he waved his hand and had his subordinates bring out the money.

"Here is a deposit of two million."

Shinki put the money into the Summoning Scroll, then happily dragged Naruto off to do a mission...

Raikage's Office.

Ai, with his hands behind his back, looked down at Shinki and Naruto walking through the Kumogakure.

"It would be great if these two were willing to join our Kumogakure," Ai said.

"It's said that they've developed a rift with Konoha. Perhaps we can use a little trick..." said Ai's secretary.

Ai thought for a moment, then waved her hand. "Never mind."

If they join Kumogakure, my position as Raikage might be in jeopardy. =_=

Shortly after Shinki and Naruto left, Killer B pushed open the door to the Raikage's Office.

Killer B entered, he began to grumble and complain, "Brother, I heard you asked that kid from Konoha to save Yugito?"

"Our Kumogakure isn't short of people! You can send me!"

"If we entrust the rescue of our village to other ninja villages, people will laugh at us for our Kumogakure...Ծ‸ Ծ"

After listening to Killer B's words, Ai said speechlessly, "If we use the Shinki as the standard for measuring talent..."

"All the ninja villages except Konoha are suffering from a shortage of talent. (ー_ー)!!"

"Besides, how can I trust you to go? I'm afraid you'll get yourself into trouble! -_-||"

Killer B was speechless. "Brother, you really don't trust me at all. (ーー゛)"

Ai shrugs. "That's true. ┐(´-`)┌"

After saying that, Ai said in a serious, educational tone, "Besides, if money can solve this kind of problem, why not?"

"If the Shinki succeeds, the wooden man will be saved, and everyone will be happy."

"If the Shinki fails and is killed by Kakuzu and Hidan, wouldn't that be even more gratifying...? (▿)"

"Even if he's not dead, we can still finish him off with a couple more blows, striking while the iron is hot..."

"If such a genius existed in this world for even one more day, I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly...¯_(ツ)_/¯"

After hearing her brother's explanation, Bi nodded. "Then should I follow him now?"

Ai sighed, "Shinki is a sensory-type Ninja; following him rashly will alert him..."

"As for finishing off enemies, just let it happen naturally."

"We can't let the Shinki detect the Kumogakure's hostility, otherwise I'm afraid he'll unleash the Great Buddha and destroy the Kumogakure...-_-#"

"All right."

Killer B pondered, "Is there nothing in this Shinobi World that can subdue him?"

Ai didn't speak, his gaze drifting towards the mountain peaks Kumogakure.

It is said that Orochimaru is researching a drug that can imprison Chakra...

The Land of Lightning.

Lingmao Peak.

The Land of Lightning has many towering mountains that reach into the clouds, where mist and fog often linger and deafening thunder can be heard.

Lingmao Peak is one of them.

It is said that Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, disappeared here.

Upon arriving here, Shinki didn't even need to rely on Ninja Dogs.

He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and exhausted his mental energy to expand his Chakra perception range to the maximum.

The Tailed Beast is sealed inside the wooden puppet, and the Tailed Beast usually contains a huge amount of Chakra.

For the Shinki, which possesses Chakra sensing abilities, this was like a torch in the darkness, very easy to spot.

Soon, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Shinki, which was expanding its spiritual power.

However, he finally pinpointed the location of the Two-Tails Jinchūriki!

Opening his eyes, Shinki pointed north. "It's right there!"

After saying that, Shinki formed hand seals and summoned Goshawk using the Summoning Technique, which carried him and Naruto to the location of the Two-Tails.

"Shinki, have you investigated the specific abilities of Kakuzu and Hidan?"

"On the back of the Goshawk, "Naruto asked.

Shinki shook his head; even the information brokers didn't have detailed information about these two people.

All I know is that one is an old geezer and the other is a cult member...

Meanwhile, inside a cave in the Land of Lightning.

The Two-Tails Jinchūriki activated his Tailed Beast form from the Wood Golem, transforming into a demon cat enveloped in blue Chakra flames!

"So this is the Two-Tails Fox. It looks pretty cool."

Hidan, holding a strangely shaped scythe, said excitedly.

"Don't be careless, or you'll die," Kakuzu warned.

Regarding when she would die, Hidan seemed quite confident. "Die? I'll definitely make her die before me. <( ̄3 ̄)>"

Kakuzu reminded him again, "Make sure she's alive before the Tailed Beast extraction ritual begins."

Hidan angrily swung his scythe. "These stupid rules are such a pain in the ass, and the whole 'leave alive' thing goes against the doctrines of my Jashin Cult... ┐(´-`)┌"

"That kind of thing isn't my responsibility. The important thing is to ensure the successful extraction of the Tailed Beast."

Kakuzu stood with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.

Hidan found Kakuzu a bit annoying and said, "Okay, okay, I'll control my strength."

Across from them, the Two-Tails cat demon watched the two talking incessantly and felt slighted.

"Meow--!"

A hoarse, eerie meow rang out, and a giant cat covered in Chakra flames charged towards Hidan!

"Whoa!!"

Hidan brandished his giant scythe and charged forward!

"When!!"

A tremendous crash echoed through the cave.

Immediately afterwards, Hidan grinned, revealing a smug expression of triumph!

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his left hand, the black spear that had been hidden in his sleeve extended and cut a small gash on Two-Tails' body!

"Unexpectedly simple."

Hidan licked the blood of Yugito that stained the black spear.

Strangely, the moment his tongue touched the blood, his body turned black and white—evil and bizarre!

"Meow--!"

The Two-Tails roared again, gathering Chakra in its mouth!

Tailed Beast Bomb!

Upon sensing the terrifying Chakra gathering in his mouth, Hidan dared not delay!

With a "thud," he plunged the black spear into his right chest!

Blood was flowing out!

Hidan dipped his foot in blood and drew a mysterious circular array on the ground!

He himself stood at the center of the formation!

After this strange ritual was completed, the Two-Tails let out a scream, its Chakra accumulation stopped, and it transformed into the form of Yugito!

Upon seeing this Kakuzu had been watching the play stood up.

If Hidan can get the enemy's blood, he's already halfway to victory.

Although Hidan talks a lot of nonsense, believes in cults, and acts like a jerk, he's actually quite capable.

Kakuzu: "It's about time we started preparing. (* ̄3 ̄)"

Just then, Shinki and Naruto arrived outside the cave.

Shinki raised his hand.

"Bang!!"

He blasted away the rubble blocking the cave entrance with a single punch!

Shinki Naruto entered the cave and saw Yukito in a miserable state. They both said in unison.

"Let go of that girl!!"
