Living with a beauty? In your dreams!

Leaving the ruins and returning to the Land of Rain, Tōka's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Because of Black Zetsu's next plan...

"This is so exciting!" Tōka lay under the eaves, watching the rain falling from the sky, a happy smile naturally appearing on her lips.

Sudden!

As a presence drew near, Tōka's smile instantly froze.

"So, what is this exciting thing? Tōka!" The Paper Dance, with countless flying papers gradually coalescing into the figure of Konan.

Tōka tilted his head and sized up the icy beauty. What a persistent ghost!

Was my intention to use Nagato really that obvious?

"You'll know what you need to know, and don't ask what you shouldn't know." Tōka stood up expressionlessly, giving Konan a cold glance.

Rustling...

Tōka, in the rain, opened an umbrella and strolled away, gradually disappearing into the depths of the Rain Pine Forest.

Konan gritted her teeth, hesitating whether to continue the surveillance.

The sudden palpitation I felt just now stemmed from a deep-seated fear within my soul. Those deep, dark eyes were cold and indifferent.

A gaze that ignores everything sends shivers down your spine.

Even so...

"That's right, we can't let Nagato get into trouble!" Konan clenched her fists, her hesitant gaze gradually hardening into determination.

She will take over the legs that Nagato lost!

The thought flashed through Konan's mind, and she instantly rushed into the rain, chasing after Tōka Ge.

In the Rain Pine Forest, two figures walked one after the other. The person in front strolled leisurely with an umbrella, seemingly appreciating the rainy scenery.

The person behind him was wearing a long Coat with Red Clouds on a Black Background, and his whole being was shrouded in a cold aura.

She followed quietly behind Tōka, like a shadow.

When Tōka left, she left; when Tōka stopped, she stopped.

"Tell me, how long are you planning to stay with me?" Tōka turned around speechlessly and stared at Konan.

She's such a beauty, what a waste...

Konan stared blankly at Tōka, her pearly teeth slightly parted, "Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"

"Huh? So direct? I'd be even happier if it were a confession!" Tōka said with a teasing smile.

Konan stared intently at Tōka, remaining silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Tōka helplessly pursed her lips.

Tsk... just kidding!

He couldn't handle this kind of fierce, icy beauty!

"There was supposed to be some time left, but it's okay to tell you in advance." Tōka changed the subject, her tone still calm, but her expression became serious.

Konan was also taken aback by Tōka's sudden change of heart.

"So easy? No, it must be a lie!" Konan stared warily at Tōka, determined not to be fooled!

Tōka pointed to the low rock beside him, gesturing for Konan to follow him.

Beneath the low rock, sheltered from the wind and rain, Tōka folded up his Oil-Paper Umbrella and put his hands in his pockets.

"Can you tell me now?" Konan stood behind Tōka with a blank expression, her voice sounding like a ghost.

Tōka glanced at her indifferently, a flash of pity in her eyes disappearing One Flash into her dark pupils, as if it had never appeared at all.

Konan frowned, about to speak, when she heard Tōka's voice.

" In the Year 48 of Konoha, an opportunity will arise..."

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is about to give birth, and the time of Jinchūriki is also when the Jinchūriki is at their weakest...

Capture a Tailed Beast that possesses only power but lacks the will to fight, and capture a Jinchūriki protected by numerous powerful beings.

Which is easier?

The answer is obvious!

"I call this Tōka Nine-Tails Capture Plan!" Nagato had given this information a lot of thought.

The reason for revealing this now is twofold: firstly, to appease Konan and divert Nagato's attention; and secondly...

"How can you be so sure that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will give birth next year? And even if we capture the Nine-Tails now, it won't make a difference, will it?"

Konan didn't trust Tōka at all, especially since the plan was so simple.

The Tailed Beast are sealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path one by one, from least to most chakra, according to their chakra levels.

The difference in Tailed Beast Chakra isn't too significant, so they don't necessarily have to be in the order of One-Tail, Two-Tails, Three-Tails.

However, as the Nine-Tails has the most chakra and the strongest fighting power among the Nine Tailed Beasts, it is absolutely impossible for it to be the first to be sealed in the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

"It's just a plan; its success is uncertain," Tōka said calmly. "What you're considering is what will happen after the plan succeeds."

"Is that really the case?" Konan stared at Tōka suspiciously, biting her lip as she pondered the feasibility of the plan.

While Tōka Konan's body gradually became blurred, dissipating like mist in the rain with a gentle breeze.

Suddenly realizing that Tōka's presence had faded away, Konan woke up with a start, only to find that Tōka was long gone!

"Tōka, what exactly do you want to do?"

Konan looked hesitantly out of the Rain Pine Forest. She decided to tell Nagato the information she had just received. Whether it was true or not, the plan was worth a try!

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is at her weakest during childbirth!

In a tavern within the Land of Rain, as Tōka stood outside the door examining the tavern's sign, a heavily made-up woman suddenly walked out.

"Cute younger brother, drinking alcohol isn't good for you!"

The alluring proprietress smiled at Tōka, lightly licking her lips with an expression as if she had spotted her prey.

"If you could play with my sister for a bit, maybe we'd get some drinks!"

As she spoke, the glamorous proprietress bent over, revealing a pair of large, white breasts.

The scene that would make one's nose bleed was witnessed by Tōka.

Tōka wrinkled her nose, seemingly overwhelmed by the pungent aroma, and Budong took a step back.

"How is it, younger brother?" The glamorous proprietress moved closer, her body scent growing stronger.

"What a twisted sense of humor, Black Zetsu!" Tōka sneered as he sensed a familiar presence approaching.

Then, he slowly extended a hand, fingers together, chakra gathering in his palm...

Then, he casually patted the proprietress on the chest.

The faint light entered the other person's body.

Thump!

The glamorous proprietress rolled her eyes and collapsed, her alluring curves on full display, now lying on her side in the cold rain, unseen by anyone.

"Isn't it said that all men like women?" Black Zetsu gave Tōka a strange look, his eyes seeming to say, "Could this guy like men?"

A vein bulged on Tōka's forehead; of course he liked women!

But it depends on the time, and besides, how old is he now?!

"Did you bring the person?" Tōka's face turned cold, and even his tone became somewhat stiff.

"Don't worry, everyone's here." Black Zetsu gestured with his eyes to the tavern next to Tōka, as if to say, "Everyone you're looking for is inside."

Tōka turned around and walked straight into the tavern.

Tsk... Ignored again! Black Zetsu shrugged helplessly and followed him inside.

The tavern was so empty that it didn't look like a tavern at all.

Two men dressed in Red Cloud Black Cloak with cold expressions sat at the bar; they were none other than Kakuzu and Sasori!

"Tōka, Black Zetsu, you're too slow!" Scorpion's hoarse voice was full of impatience because Tōka and Black Zetsu were late!

"Kid, if you don't have a good reason, hmph!" Kakuzu stared coldly at Tōka, an invisible killing intent suddenly erupting.

Black Zetsu talked about an important mission, but it turns out it was just to see this brat?!

Thinking about the huge deal he had given up, Kakuzu felt he had been incredibly stupid!

The atmosphere froze instantly. Kakuzu's murderous aura filled the entire tavern, as if an invisible hand was squeezing the space, making it hard to breathe.

Among those present, Sasori, also a Kage-level, was unaffected by Kakuzu's killing intent.

Tōka and Black Zetsu, with their inherent nobility, naturally wouldn't fear Kakuzu.

"Kakuzu, abandon your foolish thoughts." At this moment, Sasori's low, hoarse voice rang out, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere.

"What did you say? Poison Scorpion!" Kakuzu stared coldly at Scorpion, his breathing becoming heavy.

"I only saved your life," Sasori replied indifferently, showing no fear of Kakuzu, who was on the Kakuzu of exploding in rage.

Tōka stood with his hands in his pockets, leaning against a round table, calmly observing everything.

Feeling that burning gaze, Kakuzu frowned slightly, but ultimately did not make a move. Instead, he turned to look at Tōka.

"If it's about money, I do have a big deal." Tōka looked at Kakuzu calmly, his cold black eyes sending chills down one's spine!

With a gulp, Kakuzu unconsciously swallowed. Why did this Chunin, who wasn't even a weakling, evoke such fear in Chunin?

It felt like a tremor from the depths of my soul, why...

Kakuzu's arrogance could no longer be maintained. As an old monster who had survived from the Warring States period to the present day, he was even more sensitive to the aura of danger.

The kid in front of me—no, Tōka —possesses an aura that makes people forever look up to him.

As for why, Kakuzu couldn't explain it...

Only his subconscious told him that if he didn't want to die a horrible death, he'd better keep a low profile in front of Tōka.

"Let's go, let's go to the Land of Waves first!" Tōka turned around expressionlessly, she hadn't originally planned to go so early.

"The Land of Waves? Not the Land of the Moon..." Black Zetsu realized he almost let something slip, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "A plan that was changed at the last minute?!"

"It won't make a difference of more than a few days anyway."

"That's true..."

After a brief conversation, Tōka and Black Zetsu left the tavern one after the other. Kakuzu turned around to ask Sasori what to do, but unexpectedly a cawing sound came from behind him.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that Scorpion, hidden within the Hiruko, had already walked out of the tavern.

"These guys are infuriating!" Kakuzu, snorted coldly through his nose, and finally decided to follow them to see what they were up to!

The Land of Waves a small island nation surrounded by water, where thick fog often blankets the surface.

The number of ninjas in the country is almost zero, the economy is poor, and the people live in poverty.

The only means of transportation was boats, small boats propelled by human labor.

From a high mountain in the Land of Waves, one can overlook the entire archipelago and take in the complete geography of the Land of Waves.

A group of men dressed in black stood solemnly atop the high mountain.

Suddenly, a piercing laugh shattered the silence.

"Hahaha, the terrain survey is finally over!" The man in sunglasses, who was only three and a half inches tall, laughed loudly, clapping the blueprints in his hand.

"This place is simply paradise, a perfect and ideal country!"

"Congratulations, boss, on finding such a treasure trove!"

Congratulations, boss!

Suddenly, bursts of unrestrained laughter echoed from the high mountains.

Rustling...

Unexpected footsteps approached, and Gato's laughter stopped abruptly. He frowned and turned around, looking at a group of people wearing strange Coat who were walking towards him.

"Heh, a bunch of ignorant fools, how pathetic!"

"Those who get targeted by Tōka are truly pathetic!"

"There's something strange about what you just said."

The three of them Earth Flow the top of the mountain, and their appearances became clearly visible to everyone.

Putting aside the ugly, short, fat, and hunchbacked man, and the masked man who was also quite ugly, everyone's attention finally fell on the little devil among the three.

Wow!~

A murmur of surprise rippled through the air. The Land of Waves actually had such a beautiful woman?

She's a bit young, but...

Hehehe...

"The way you're looking at me reminds me of some unpleasant things, it's really... unpleasant!" Tōka's face darkened, and his tone turned icy.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Looks like someone's going to be in trouble." Kakuzu gloated.

"Let's do it, Kakuzu!"

Tōka glanced at Kakuzu, who stood to the side with his arms crossed, ready to watch the show, and said coldly, "Kill everyone except that short guy in sunglasses!"

"Why me?" Kakuzu was taken aback at first, then glanced at Sasori beside him, and then realized what he meant. "Why should I listen to you?!"

A gust of wind blew by, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire mountaintop.

What a disobedient kid!

Tōka grinned, tossing out a bargaining chip that Kakuzu couldn't refuse, "You wanted money, didn't you? Complete the order you just gave me, and I'll give you 100 million!"

"What?! One hundred million?!" Kakuzu changed drastically. This group of trash, whose combined fighting power was less than five, was actually worth one hundred million?

Without even thinking twice, poof poof poof poof, countless pitch-black Earth Grudge Fear burst forth from its body.

The jet-black lines, like threads of Shinigami, swept wildly toward Gato and his companions.

Following Tōka's orders, everyone except for Gato, who was wearing sunglasses, was instantly pierced through by the Earth Grudge Fear.

Blood... stained the entire mountaintop red!

Thump!

Gato stared in horror at the group of ruthless demons before him, then collapsed to the ground, frozen in shock as he watched the Earth Kakuzu slowly shrink into Earth Grudge Fear's body.

"No, don't kill me..."

"I'll give you whatever price you want!"

Gato began to tremble uncontrollably, scrambling and crawling towards the edge of the cliff. The chilling killing intent caused his taut nerves to snap.

A warm, flowing sound came from the water.

What does it taste like?

Tōka sniffed, then frowned, glancing at Gato's crotch with a speechless expression. "He actually peed his pants in fear?"

"Isn't it wrong of us to attack ordinary people?" Kakuzu wiped his hands with obvious displeasure, seemingly feeling that killing a few pieces of trash had dirtied his hands.

It is an unwritten rule that ninjas cannot attack ordinary people, and the more powerful a ninja is, the less he would deign to attack ordinary people.

The weaker Rogue Ninja were restrained by the Five Great Nations and dared not attack ordinary people.

But that's not always the case...

"You care about these kinds of rules?" Tōka glanced at Kakuzu with disdain. "Besides, who saw me lay a hand on an ordinary person? It was clearly you who did it!"

Kakuzu, "..."

A line of black lines appeared on Scorpion's forehead. "That's a really smooth way of shifting the blame!"

Black Zetsu, hiding in the shadows and unwilling to show himself, twitched his lips. "I'm so impressed, I have to admit it!"
