Kumogakure Suffers!

To avoid disrupting the villagers' lives, Yugito Nii chose to live outside the village. It was clear just how important the villagers' acceptance was to her.

Yugito Nii was not Killer B and could not call the Crown Prince her brother. To keep the villagers from hating and rejecting her, she could only live as far outside the village as possible.

Everything about this decision was for the sake of earning everyone's acceptance.

But this made things easier for Akatsuki. Even though Kumogakure stationed guards where Yugito Nii lived, they did so to prevent accidents. If the tailed beast went berserk or someone attacked the Jinchuriki, they could intervene or report it.

Attacking a Jinchuriki was hardly a good idea. What ordinary person would dare act so recklessly?

The people stationed there were mainly meant to prevent a tailed beast rampage.

If there was a problem with the seal and the tailed beast went berserk, Kumogakure would suffer. With guards present, they could receive word immediately.

Unfortunately, these people were nothing but trash to Akatsuki. Their presence meant very little.

The battle did not last long before it ended completely. This time, Six Paths of Pain did not make a move; Sasori and Kakuzu were sent instead.

Although the two of them combined could not match Six Paths of Pain, capturing a Jinchuriki was still easy enough. As long as the seal did not break and release the tailed beast, it would not be difficult for them.

Even if the Two-Tails broke free of its seal, Kakuzu and Sasori would have no trouble fighting it. S-rank rogue ninja were not just empty words; they truly possessed that kind of strength.

"What did you say?!"

When the news returned, the Third Raikage initially thought there was something wrong with his ears.
