Seal it again?

The sheer brutality of killing a Jonin with a single blow instilled fear in the Rock Ninja ahead, making them realize the vulnerability of being human and causing them to retreat.

"Lord Tsuchikage, let's go to the village and call for others. This number of people isn't enough; this is Tailed Beast!"

"Don't panic, don't panic. If this guy gets into our village, our Iwagakure will be finished."

"But, but, if this continues, we'll all be wiped out! What should we do? What should we do?"

The Tsuchikage's face turned ashen. He understood that the Five-Tails was no ordinary beast, and its sudden berserk state had taken its speed far beyond his expectations. Even his Dust Release couldn't control the Tailed Beast now, and the only thing that could help them was probably to release the kid who had unleashed the Tailed Beast.

Turning his head, Tsuchikage couldn't help but glance at Yang Xing.

Yang Xing, who was far away, noticed Ōnoki's gaze, shrugged, and replied quite decisively, "I'm sorry, I have no interest in your village."

"Damn it." This was something the Tsuchikage had anticipated. Now that Yang Xing wasn't helping, Tsunade and the others were just observing.

This is a complete dead end.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what should we do? What should we do?"

With a determined look, the Tsuchikage, true to his reputation as an experienced ninja, possessed some trump cards. "There's only one way. This guy still needs to have the seal broken. Even if the seal is completely destroyed, some residue will still remain inside it. We can use this residue to seal it again, which is quite simple."

"So that means?" A glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of those Jonin.

"Yes, the most important thing right now is to find the person who will be the vessel for this Tailed Beast." At this, the Tsuchikage's face darkened again, his expression grave.

"Lord Tsuchikage, I am willing to sacrifice myself for Iwagakure." Several loyal Jonin declared.

Glancing at the group, the Tsuchikage shook his head and refused. "No, without powerful Chakra, one cannot serve as a vessel. Only someone with a massive Chakra reserves can be used as a vessel; otherwise, they will not last more than a few days before dying from the Five-Tails 'Chakra. Therefore, this person must be special."

"But where are we going to find such a special ninja now?" The Jonin understood that choosing Jinchūriki was extremely difficult. With Fan gone, the village had very few people who could become a Jinchūriki: "It's impossible right now."

"No, there's one more person, the only one." The calm-faced Tsuchikage turned his head and looked at someone.

"What is the Lord Tsuchikage saying?"

Following Tsuchikage's gaze, the group also saw the girl, who was covered in sweat and seemed to be putting on a brave face.

She was the weakest among them, but also the one with the most potential.

"Kurotsuchi, you are my granddaughter. I understand. Your Chakra is sufficient to serve as a vessel for this Tailed Beast."

Kurotsuchi's current skill level is indeed not at the Jonin, but she is still the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage. Her ability to perfectly utilize the Light-Weight Rock Technique is enough to demonstrate her potential.

"Grandpa?" Kurotsuchi was startled when his name was called.

Yang Xing, who had overheard Ōnoki's words not far away, also paused, stopping his original intention to leave, and turned to look at him.

"Kurotsuchi, Iwagakure needs someone to serve as the vessel for this Tailed Beast." Ōnoki's voice was loud and clear, carrying a hint of authority. "And you are my granddaughter, and I understand that you have this constitution. Now, I intend to seal the Tailed Beast within you."

"Grandpa." With a hint of confusion in his Kurotsuchi, Hei Tu hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically. "If it's for the village..."

"Lord Tsuchikage!" The Jonin to tears. "We never imagined that Lord Tsuchikage would sacrifice his granddaughter! Damn it, why don't I have enough Chakra? Why am I so incompetent?"

"Lord Tsuchikage, if I had enough Chakra, I would definitely take Kurotsuchi's place."

Ignoring the moved Rock Ninja, Ōnoki had already spread his arms, ready. "Alright, Kurotsuchi, time is of the essence. If this guy acts recklessly, I can't guarantee I can subdue him before the village is extensively destroyed. You're the only option now."

Biting her lip, Kurotsuchi's face was full of determination. Looking up at her grandfather's serious expression, she clearly Byakugan she had no other choice at the moment.

Someone has to be Jinchūriki. Just as Kurotsuchi was about to nod, a voice rang out, causing Kurotsuchi body to tremble.

"Hey, old man, are you crazy? Do you even know what you're saying?" Yang Xing's face was filled with anger that Tsunade had never seen before, and his sudden leap surprised everyone around him even more.

In less than a second, it suddenly appeared in front of the Tsuchikage, which is comparable to the Five-Tails Kokuō, no, it may be even stronger.

Seeing Yang Xing fall in front of him, Ōnoki felt no fear, but rather a surge of anger.

"Kid, to be honest, this is all your fault." Ōnoki, furious, glared at Yang Xing. "Get out of my way. I'll handle this properly, and then I'll settle accounts with you."

"The solution is to put this thing into your loved one's body, and then let her endure the constant agony of the Tailed Beast's impending eruption until she dies." Yang Xing's face darkened as he met Yang Xing's gaze directly. "You're Kage Level figure, sitting in this position, you must understand very well what Jinchūriki is, what a vessel is. You're practically pushing your loved one into a fire pit."

This made Ōnoki's face turn red with anger, and he shouted, his neck thick with rage, "What do you know, brat? Jinchūriki are essential. They are people who sacrifice themselves for the village. These kinds of people must exist."

"Your thinking is too rigid." Yang Xing's eyes turned cold, frighteningly so. "Besides, she's not a tool; she's your family."

"Little brat."

"Grandfather."

"You're not worthy of sitting in your current position." Yang Xing sneered, completely unfazed by Ōnoki's fierce Chakra, and even added with a cold snort, "You dare call yourself the Tsuchikage?"

"You brat, die! Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!" Enraged, Ōnoki conjured a cube that trapped Yang Xing on all four sides. Unfortunately for him, Yang Xing reacted swiftly and had prepared a Substitution Technique, thus avoiding being trapped. Only a water sphere within the cube turned into steam.

Yang Xing, who had retreated, did not make a move. Instead, he went straight to Kurotsuchi and, without waiting for Kurotsuchi to react, picked him up around the waist.

With that leap, he quickly left the place.

This made the Tsuchikage so angry that smoke was practically rising from his head.
