"Still, don't think you'll make it back alive. If I let you return to Iwagakure, you'd leak information about Tsunade's ability to use Wood Release and about me. Sorry, I'm not that stupid."
Ye Ning's words crushed every last one of Han's hopes.
Just now, he'd only been weighing whether to implant the entire Five-Tails into his body and become its Jinchuriki.
But after thinking it over, Ye Ning had decided against it.
He only wanted to collect the chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts, then use his cheat to fuse them into a Mini Ten-Tails.
Becoming the Five-Tails' Jinchuriki himself offered no benefits.
He didn't want a Tailed Beast living inside him, able to spy on his life whenever it pleased.
Besides, he had no interest in getting along with the Five-Tails.
If it were the Nine-Tails, he might have hesitated. But the Five-Tails... forget it.
If he took the Five-Tails back to Konoha and cultivated a Five-Tails Jinchuriki, he'd first have to find a suitable candidate.
Otherwise, where in Konoha would they find enough room to keep the Five-Tails?
Even if they did find a suitable candidate and successfully cultivated a Five-Tails Jinchuriki, the time and effort it would take wouldn't come close to matching the benefits.
Still, he could use the Five-Tails to negotiate with Iwagakure.
Once they returned to Konoha, he'd extract the Five-Tails from Han, then use it to demand some concessions from Iwagakure.
As for Han's corpse... Sasori could turn it into a Human Puppet.
They had to make use of everything.
Having already absorbed chakra from three Tailed Beasts, Ye Ning was much faster this time, and his body showed no signs of discomfort.
In fact, drawing on his previous experience, he absorbed far more of the Five-Tails' chakra than he had from
