Akatsuki's Helper! The Elusive Five-Tails
Shinki understands the principle that the wool comes from the sheep.
However, what he gave Iwagakure was only a Crystal Mountain made of Chakra, but Iwagakure gave him was real money. ❛‿˂̵✧
After receiving the deposit, Shinki walked out of the Tsuchikage Office. Kitsuchi said from behind, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shinki. In addition, to ensure the mission goes smoothly, Iwagakure has prepared two helpers for you."
After Kitsuchi Tu finished speaking, two figures, one large and one small, appeared at the end of the corridor.
Then, a joyful voice rang out from the darkness. "Shinki! I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon! (´◊ω◊`)"
Kurotsuchi a leap, Heitu pounced straight towards the location of the Shinki.
The clever Shinki dodged to the right.
With a loud "bang!", the Kurotsuchi slammed solidly onto the ground!
Kitsuchi, speechless, covered his face. He simply couldn't stand his daughter's worthless attitude! _
"This is Kurotsuchi, you've met him before, and I'm sure you recognize him. That big guy over there is called Akatsuchi. These two will be helping you with this Five-Tails recapture mission," said Kitsuchi.
The tall man tried to step forward, grinning sheepishly as he extended his hand. "Hello."
Shinki extended his hand in return. "Hello. ∩_∩"
Shinki wasn't stupid; he knew that the two people from Iwagakure were ostensibly helping him, but in reality, they were keeping an eye on him.
Perhaps Iwagakure was afraid they would take down their Five-Tails as well...
After meeting his two temporary teammates, Shinki set off.
--
In the Tsuchikage Office.
Kitsuchi watched the backs of the three people below, his eyes flickering.
After a while, Ōnoki flew into the Tsuchikage Office and said, "Have they all left?"
Kitsuchi nodded. "Yes, they've already left."
"But Father, why are you so sure that Shinki will be able to bring Han back?"
"Weren't you absolutely certain that kid's strength wasn't what it used to be? And now you've let him take Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi with him, what if something happens to Kurotsuchi and the others..."
Ōnoki raised his hand, indicating that Kitsuchi could relax. "Don't worry, to be honest, I'm also worried about that kid taking Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi out, so I've had the village's Pursuit Unit following them. If anything unexpected happens, the Pursuit Unit will take immediate action..."
At this time, on the Land of Rain Border.
At Hideout of Akatsuki.
Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, floated in the air, his Tailed Beast Chakra overflowing from his seven orifices and continuously flowing into the Demonic Statue at the center of the Hideout...
The Zetsu poked its head out from underground and suddenly exclaimed in a panic, "Something terrible has happened! The Iwagakure has asked the Shinki for help!"
The Masked Man hovered on a finger, its voice tinged with displeasure. "What's the panic? We're so far from the Land of Earth; it'll take them at least two days to catch up."
"By then, the Tailed Beast extraction will have been completed."
"And this time, we have External Aid help. (*￣￣*)"
The Land of Earth.
As Shinki followed Kurotsuchi Akatsuchi out of Iwagakure, he inquired about the specific circumstances of Han's capture.
Kurotsuchi replied, "That night, a huge fire broke out in Iwagakure, and shortly afterward, news spread that Senior Han had gone missing."
Later, after exhausting all the village's resources to inquire, Grandpa learned that those who had kidnapped Senior Han had already crossed the border of the Land of Earth and entered the Land of Land of Rain.
"However, information is scarce in the Land of Rain, making it very difficult to investigate, so we don't know their exact location..."
Shinki frowned after hearing this news.
He disappeared once he entered the Land of Rain, how is he supposed to find him? ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞
Although the Land of Rain cannot compare to the Five Great Nations in terms of area, it still covers millions of square kilometers. Finding a Tailed Beast in such a vast area is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Furthermore, based on the experience of Pursuit of the Four-Tails Jinchūriki last time, it can be concluded that the Akatsuki already has a method to block his Chakra sensing.
This is harder than finding a needle in a haystack!
"Money really isn't easy to earn," Shinki said, rubbing his forehead.
"But no matter what, let's go to the Land of Rain first."
Afterwards, Shinki grabbed Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi and used Flying Thunder God to teleport to the Amegakure Ruins.
Here is a Flying Thunder God Mark that he placed when he destroyed the Amegakure.
The three of them landed on the ground.
Kurotsuchi asked in confusion, "Weren't we supposed to be going to the Land of Rain? Why did we end up in the primeval forest? (꒪⌓꒪)"
Shinki replied, "This is Amegakure (Amegakure) in the Land of Rain."
Kurotsuchi: (꒪⌓꒪)
"You're kidding, right? Amegakure was under Pain's control back then. Although it was extremely isolated, it wasn't this primitive... (⊙o⊙)"
"Wait, a forest... Is this Wood Release?"
Shinki nodded.
Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi:∑(✘Д✘๑)
"You... you used Wood Release to turn this entire area into a forest?" The honest and steady Akatsuchi couldn't help but ask.
Shinki nodded again. "Pain was well hidden back then, turning Amegakure into this state, which allowed me to sense it."
Upon hearing this, Kurotsuchi couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss~"
Although I had long heard of Shinki's deeds in the Shinobi World and had seen the Crystal Mountain that Shinki created outside Iwagakure.
But when you are actually inside the Wood Release of the Shinki, you can't help but be shocked by its enormous amount of Chakra!
This made her sigh: When God created Ninjas, did He distribute half of each Ninja's Chakra into Shinki's body?
Otherwise, how could this guy have such a terrifying amount of Chakra!
Suddenly, Kurotsuchi realized something and continued, "So now you...?"
To maintain his injured appearance, Shinki answered without hesitation, "My strength is far less than before; I can only create one-tenth of this forest now... (◔◡◔)"
Shinki thought to himself that the forest barely covered the entire Amegakure and wasn't very big to begin with.
If I say it's one-tenth, the people of Iwagakure should think I'm seriously injured, right?
Unexpectedly, after hearing Shinki's answer, Kurotsuchi swallowed hard again. "One-tenth..."
"That's terrifying too!"
Shinki:(ー_ー)!!
Ah, this...
"Enough talk, let's hurry up and search for the Five-Tails." Shinki casually started a conversation, changing the subject.
Kurotsuchi nodded. "The Land of Rain is so big, how are we supposed to find it?"
Shinki lowered his head in thought, muttering, "I could create a hundred thousand or so Shadow Clones for a carpet search, but that would take too much time..."
"Or... could I extend my Chakra sensing to cover the entire Land of Land of Rain? Forget it, that's too mentally taxing..."
Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, who had overheard Shinki's speech, both took a half step back.
ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!
What kind of bizarre and outrageous statements are these?!
He can casually create tens of thousands of Shadow Clones?!
Chakra sensing covers the entire country?!
That does sound like bragging.
But when this man says it, it's hard not to believe it!
Suddenly, Kurotsuchi had an idea and said, "I have a suggestion. We could capture an Akatsuki member and question them." ❛‿˂̵✧
