Sunagakure.
Many people were dissatisfied with Gaara succeeding as the Fifth Kazekage.
He's too young, and he's Jinchūriki at any moment and turn the village into ruins. He's too unstable.
Of course, there were also people who supported Gaara, with Baki and Yura being among the representatives. They succeeded, so they turned around and took up seats as elders.
Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Sudden wealth and status can easily backfire on those with weak constitutions, like our Elder Yura, whose Yura looks only lasted three seconds.
Having just finished a meeting, he was now in charge of the tasks assigned to him by Jie Xiao, a time when he was riding high.
Thump thump... thump thump...
The talisman on her heart activated, turning Yura into a puppet, remotely controlled by Sasori, and the capture of the Tailed Beast began.
That day, Aoki Tsuki was teaching Ajisai in the village's training ground.
As the most hardworking of the three students, he is more like his former self.
Karin's natural talent goes without saying. Aside from teaching her Water Release Ninjutsu and Secret Mind Technique, there's no need for anything else; her talent lies in escaping.
Ying mainly inherited his Senjutsu system.
Ajisai's talent is Space-Time Ninjutsu, Aoki Tsuki plans to give her the Summoning Contract of the Ibuse, which is originally the inherited summoning beast of Amegakure.
Previously, because information about Hanzō needed to be kept secret, it was inconvenient to use the Ibuse freely.
Now that the organization has begun capturing the Tailed Beast, it is believed that Shinobi World war will soon break out, and the secret of Hanzō's death will not remain hidden for long.
In a large-scale battle, anyone could die, including himself; he had to leave a legacy for the village.
If I remember correctly, after losing Pain and Konan's leadership, Amegakure once again fell into endless chaos and decline.
The Fourth Shinobi World War ended, and the entire Shinobi World was developing peacefully. This poor village remained unchanged, placing its fate on someone else's promise—it was truly foolish.
That chosen one made promises to many people, promising to everyone he met, shouting that he would change their fate, and in the end, he turned the tide of the battle through fate.
" Ajisai, today I'm introducing you to a friend, my elder brother, Ibuse."
"Isn't Ibuse your summoned beast, teacher?"
"Haha... I rarely use summoned beasts in battle anymore. This is more suitable for you. Besides, the Ibuse belongs to the village, not to anyone. You should treat it as a partner."
"Understood, I will get along well with it," the Ajisai replied earnestly.
She knew very well that as the village's inherited spirit beast, forming a contract with it meant completely binding her fate to that of the village.
Finally, her efforts were recognized.
" Summoning Technique: Ibuse "
Thud...
A wisp of white smoke drifted by, and the Sichuan pepper appeared before her eyes. Even though it was the second time she had seen it, the Ajisai was still overwhelmed by its immense aura.
Then, Ibuse his mouth and spat out the black Summoning Scroll.
"Okay, bite your finger and sign your name."
"Hi!"
Ajisai nervously approached and looked down. Sure enough, she saw her teacher's name, so she wrote her own name in the same way and left her Chakra by pressing her handprint.
Aoki Tsuki then put the scroll away and tossed it into the Ibuse's mouth.
"Brother Ibuse, this child is my student. I'm entrusting him to you from now on."
The Ibuse tilted its head and stared at Aoki Tsuki for a long time. This human got along very well with it. Not only was he powerful, but he also respected it and spoke very kindly.
It nodded its enormous head and then disappeared from sight in the next moment.
" The Ibuse can not only spew out deadly poison, but it can also burrow underground, and it excels at fighting in water. You need to use it strategically."
I've also stored some Ninjutsu there. You can retrieve them and learn them when you're stronger in the future."
This trick was learned from that old bastard Hanzō; he hid his secret technique inside the Ibuse.
Ajisai bowed deeply to Aoki Tsuki: "Thank you, teacher."
"Well, that's all I can teach you. That's all for now."
Aoki Tsuki waved his hand, turned and left the training ground. He then found Karin and stuffed his entire set of Secret Mind Technique into her hands.
With Karin's talent, she should be able to master it in a few years.
He taught each student according to their own area of expertise, effectively distributing all the skills he had gathered from various sources.
"Alas, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Unfortunately, no one has yet appeared who can inherit my true talent."
Imitation is his secret to success.
Buzz...
Just then, the ring on his hand vibrated, and Pain's voice came from within. "Everyone assemble, prepare to seal the Tailed Beast."
"Has it already begun? We've finally reached this point!"
Aoki Tsuki found a safe place to hide and then activated the Magic Lantern Body Technique.
This technique uses a ring on the hand to convert Chakra into a mental wave, which is then amplified and projected through Pain. It allows for chatting and the casting of Ninjutsu, making it very advanced.
It's at least three levels higher than his Telepathy.
In the Land of Rivers, within the Akatsuki's stronghold, Aoki Tsuki's figure appeared on the tip of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's right index finger.
In front of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Gaara lay motionless. The poor fellow was finally free today.
She noticed someone's gaze lingering on her.
The other party might think that he can't see anything without turning his head, but in reality, he can easily 'see' things within a range of hundreds of meters around him with his mental power.
"Heh... Zetsu must have discovered that he can't contact the spores stationed in Amegakure."
Why doubt him?
He's the prime suspect because he previously captured a White Zetsu Clone.
Actually, I've had a question on my mind for a long time.
Kisame couldn't help but say, " Azure Dragon, you were the one who assassinated that Shinobi of Darkness of Konoha, weren't you?"
"Wasn't it Orochimaru who did it? You can't wrong me. Besides, I worked in Root for a while before, Danzo was my superior."
What subordinate would kill their superior? Right, Kisame?
Hold!
Kisame felt completely unwell; he seriously suspected that Aoki Tsuki against him.
"Hey... maybe."
Hidan was displeased upon hearing this and immediately declared, "Hey, don't think that just because you say that, I won't take action. Sooner or later, I'll sacrifice you to the Lord Jashin."
"Heh... If you can kill me, you'll be the new leader of the Jashin Cult."
This guy followed Kakuzu for a while, got cocky, and felt like he was invincible again.
"That's enough chit-chat. The sealing will last for three days and three nights. Everyone must protect their own bodies during this time."
Deva Path Pain then jumped onto his right thumb and Hand Seals.
" Sealing Jutsu: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals "
Buzz...
All ten fingers of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path lit up: Zero, Blue, White, Vermilion, Pig, Jade, Three, North, South, and Void.
It exhaled a nine-headed dragon form made of Chakra, which enveloped Gaara and began to extract the power of the Tailed Beast.
Konoha, Hokage's office.
" Jiraiya, news has come from Sunagakure that the Fifth Kazekage has been captured by Akatsuki. Their target really is the Tailed Beast."
"Why would an assassination organization collect Tailed Beast? That's strange."
Jiraiya couldn't understand it at all. Based on Itachi's last visit to the village, the Akatsuki even had their eyes on the Nine-Tails, which meant that the other Tailed Beast were also part of their plan.
Bang!
Tsunade on the table and said urgently, "Now is not the time to think about these things. I've heard that the core members of this organization are all vicious criminals with astonishing strength."
"I suspect this organization is responsible for the assassination of Danzo. Orochimaru was once a member, so it's normal for him to have cooperated with them."
"Now is not the time to rush. Have you forgotten about the Child of Destruction that I mentioned to you last time?" Jiraiya reminded him.
"Um... I was really too busy last time. Could you tell me about the Child of Destruction again?"
Faced with the undeniable facts, Tsunade had no choice but to accept them.
After hearing Jiraiya's prophecy about the Great Toad Sage again: the blue-eyed boy who plays with nine wild beasts will be the savior of the Shinobi World.
"You mean Naruto might be the Child of Prophecy?"
"Based on my deduction, it should be him, so I've been giving him special training lately."
Jiraiya had already quietly begun his operation, and the enemy seemed to be in a hurry as well.
"If only there could be a few more years, then Naruto might be able to..."
"With that child's strength, I'm afraid he won't be able to control the Nine-Tails ' power in a short time," Tsunade said, frowning.
Naruto's current Talk no Jutsu abilities are not enough to subdue the Nine-Tails.
Jiraiya was also helpless in this regard; even he couldn't suppress the Nine-Tails ' power and dared not easily attempt to release Naruto's seal.
"First, send someone to rescue the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure. We'll figure out the rest later. Let Naruto get involved; this is a good opportunity for him to train."
It's not a bad thing for him to clash with Akatsuki earlier than planned.
"But..."
"Don't worry, with Kakashi and Might Guy with you, nothing will happen. Tsunade, I've noticed you've become more timid since you became Hokage," Jiraiya teased Tsunade.
'It's easy for someone not to feel the pain,' Tsunade thought to herself.
Before, she was all alone and could do whatever she wanted; now that she has a family to support, how can it be the same?
If something were to happen to Naruto, it would be a minor issue if she couldn't continue Hokage; the real problem would be the destruction of Konoha. The blame would be too heavy and unbearable.
Tsunade felt she couldn't carry it.
"Alright, as you say. I'll have Might Guy and Kakashi split up and go to the rescue in two groups, and have Yamato lead a squad of Anbu to follow them."
Within the stronghold of the Land of Rivers.
On the third day of the sealing, Jue detected that the pursuers were approaching.
Pain had no choice but to have Itachi and Kisame use the Shapeshifting Technique to intercept them and buy time, while everyone else hurried to make the final extraction.
After much effort, the sealing of the One-Tail Beast was finally completed ahead of schedule.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Let's dismiss everyone. Deidara, Sasori, I'll leave the pursuers outside to you two."
"Hmph, it'll be taken care of soon." Scorpion scoffed.
"The newcomers are the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki team, led by Kakashi of the Sharingan. Sasori, you'd better not be careless."
" Kakashi? The son of White Fang!"
Aoki Tsuki said, " Kakashi is just a man who only lasts three minutes. The main focus should be on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Once that brat unleashes the power of the Tailed Beast, there are few here who can suppress him."
"Do you want to hear what outrageous things you're saying?!" Konan glared at Aoki Tsuki.
Xiao's core members are either murderers, perverts, or lecherous old women; she's at a huge disadvantage with this group.
"Understood, I will be careful."
Since even Aoki Tsuki has said so, Sasori has no choice but to take it seriously.
