In less than half an hour, Xu Xiao's figure traversed most of the Shinobi World, bringing annihilation to two ninja villages at the same time.
But he didn't stop, continuing to traverse space at high speed towards Takigakure.
Halfway there, in order to restore his Magic Power, Xu Xiao also chose to fly using Telekinesis.
The situation in the Land of Waterfalls was even worse than in the Iwagakure, after all, it was a small ninja village without even a Kage.
The strongest fighter is Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, a somewhat cute dark-skinned girl.
He's not particularly good-looking, but thankfully he's obedient and knows how to behave.
The entire village possessed the survival Zhihui typical of small villages in this era, and upon seeing Xu Xiao fly in, the whole village immediately bowed down in submission.
Xu Xiao did not kill these obedient ordinary people, including the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, nor did he forcibly remove the Tailed Beast from her body. Instead, he chose to remove the Tailed Beast while sparing her life.
As for taking her into the harem, let's forget about that.
Even if Xu Xiao were to collect women like this, he would be indifferent to those who are of average appearance and have no special status.
After Takigakure, only one land-based ninja village remained— Kumogakure.
Xu Xiao's plan was to finish dealing with the ninja villages on land before heading to Kirigakure to clean up the mess.
The resistance from the Kumogakure was much stronger. The entire village was full of people who loved to fight. As soon as Xu Xiao appeared, they started chattering and shouting that they wanted to "shatter the jade" and fight.
The leader, Raikage A, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Bi, immediately started fighting without any intention of negotiating.
However, they misused their strength, and the consequence of provoking Xu Xiao was that the entire village was wiped off the map.
Even the rather attractive Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii, was destroyed.
Xu Xiao enjoys collecting beautiful women and is tolerant of them; he doesn't care about casual encounters or fights with them.
But if the other party truly shows that kind of relentless killing intent towards him, then the outcome will also be death.
There's no such thing as being soft-hearted. There are countless beauties in the myriad worlds, and no woman has ever been able to influence Xu Xiao's rules with her looks.
Of course, if such a thing were true, Xu Xiao would force himself to kill the other party.
That situation meant he could potentially be controlled by the other party, something Xu Xiao would absolutely never allow to happen.
After dealing with the ninja villages on land, Xu Xiao's next goal is to cross the sea to Kirigakure and collect the last two Tailed Beast.
Kirigakure is an island nation located in the middle of the sea. It is home to two Tailed Beast, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, and is Xu Xiao's final destination.
After flying for some time, Xu Xiao, who had just arrived near Kirigakure, sensed something different with his Divine Sense.
"Interesting. I was saying I'd come find you guys after I finished dealing with the Tailed Beast, but I didn't expect you to come waiting for me here on your own!"
In Xu Xiao's Divine Sense, there were many wooden golems deployed in the thick fog near Kirigakure, which was not unusual.
While puppetry is a skill primarily possessed by the Sand Village ninja, puppetry is not exclusive to them.
Essentially, it's just using Chakra Threads to manipulate inanimate objects for attacks. Some ninjas who are very confident in their control also use it as a means of reconnaissance or attack.
However, Xu Xiao's Divine Sense followed the puppet's trail and quickly discovered the Akatsuki members dressed in black with Hong Yun symbols.
Sasori hidden inside the puppet, Deidara with blond hair guarding him, and Kisame Hoshigaki carrying the Samehada.
Further afield, Uchiha Itachi, Hidan, Kakuzu, and several of Pain's puppets completely guarded the entire Kirigakure.
The Akatsuki, which usually prefers to operate separately, surprisingly teamed up and fought a group battle.
Clearly, this is a case of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
Xu Xiao 'Xu Xiao letters to the various ninja villages made them set their sights on him.
" Yagura of Kirigakure has a history of being manipulated; it's unclear whether he's been freed from control yet."
"They must have observed my movements through the White Zetsu's Spore Clone and guessed my route."
" Akatsuki, are you really that confident you can take me down?"
Xu Xiao found it somewhat amusing, and at the same time, he was happy.
He didn't conceal his whereabouts, nor did he deliberately scan the ground or forest with his Divine Sense, so it was obvious that White Zetsu had detected his presence.
He originally planned to collect all the Tailed Beast before going to the Land of Rain to find Nagato, the Nagato behind it all, and obtain the body of the Ten-Tails— the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path —from him.
Then Orochimaru can use his Summoning Technique to retrieve the other half of the Nine-Tails from Minato's body from the Death God, which will allow the Ten-Tails to be revived.
Unexpectedly, these guys were so considerate as to gather in Kirigakure on their own initiative; it was like they delivered the goods right to our doorstep!
They seemed afraid of wasting Xu Xiao's energy.
If Xu Xiao hadn't only devoured less than 30% of the power in this world, he would have thought that he had secretly influenced these people to gather together by using his ability to control the power.
"I'll take this opportunity to witness the power of Susanoo and Rinnegan, and broaden my horizons."
Xu Xiao landed on the ground from a great height and casually carved a magic seal on the ground.
This is a mark representing spatial coordinates; Xu Xiao needs to go back and bring someone back.
In Konoha, Orochimaru, who was studying Internal Energy, felt a tremor, and then the space around him was torn apart.
"Lord Celestial, have you completed the collection of the Tailed Beast?"
Orochimaru spoke with some surprise.
According to the plan, they would only come to him after Xu Xiao had collected the other eight Tailed Beast and obtained the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
After all, he is currently the only person who knows the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, which is one of the reasons why Xu Xiao thinks highly of him.
"No, I met some interesting people in Kirigakure; I think you'll like them."
Xu Xiao spoke with a smile.
He placed a spatial seal on Orochimaru, allowing him to tear through space and arrive at any time, as long as they are in the same world.
"Is it Xiao's group?"
Orochimaru guessed it after a moment's thought, and then, as a subordinate, he stood up and stood next to Xu Xiao.
"I also want to see those old friends, especially Uchiha Itachi!!"
Orochimaru licked his lips, his face filled with jealousy and hatred.
Xu Xiao placed his hand on Orochimaru's body, then used his finger to create space in front of him.
Inside, there are bizarre and fantastical scenes, representing the fundamental nature of space.
"Let's go. His eyes can be examined after they're harvested. Haven't you always wanted his eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's face flashed with surprise, and he followed Xu Xiao into the room.
