The Three-Tails creature slowly closed its enormous mouth, parted the waves, and swam towards the sea.
The Three-Tails ' body is opaque, making the space completely dark, and everyone huddled together in the cramped space.
Naruto yelled, "Who stepped on my foot?"
Jiraiya said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Naruto. I can't see. Should I try to squeeze closer to Tsunade?"
Tsunade snorted coldly and punched Jiraiya on the head.
Jiraiya cried out in pain, clutching his head, and said, "I haven't even squeezed yet!"
Tsunade crossed her arms and said to Jiraiya without any politeness, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Naruto shouted, "I know, Jiraiya-sensei must be thinking something bad."
Jiraiya hurriedly reached out in the dark to cover Naruto's mouth, but felt something was wrong with his touch.
Kakashi felt a pair of hands touching his chest and quickly grabbed them. He felt the rough hands of an old man and instantly realized it was Jiraiya.
"I'm truly sorry, Lord Jiraiya," Kakashi said with a smile, "My chest isn't soft enough."
"Huh?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise. He shouted, " Jiraiya-sensei, if you teach me a powerful Ninjutsu, I can use the Transformation Technique!"
"Ugh~" Everyone felt a chill.
Sakura yelled, " Naruto, stay away from me!"
Shinsei chuckled and said, " Naruto, tell me the truth, when you went on your trip with Lord Jiraiya, did Lord Jiraiya ever let you use the Harem Jutsu?"
" Jiraiya-sensei..." Naruto was cut off Jiraiya covered his mouth before he could finish speaking.
"I'm very sorry, Naruto is talking nonsense. My Toad Sage Jiraiya is definitely not that kind of person," Jiraiya hurriedly explained.
"I believe you, Lord Jiraiya," Shinsei said. " Lord Jiraiya is a man of impeccable morals; he never goes to nightclubs or peeps into bathhouses. Those nicknames like ' Pervy Sage' are definitely slander."
"Hahahaha..." Jiraiya laughed awkwardly, "It must be someone's slander!" His voice trailed off, and he himself didn't believe what he was saying.
Many of those present were Konoha ninjas. Rumors about Jiraiya's lechery were rampant, and there was practically a sign outside the Konoha bathhouse that read, "Jiraiya and dogs are not allowed."
"Teacher, they've disappeared." Hinata had been observing Nagato's movements with Byakugan active.
Shinsei knew that this was probably Obito Uchiha Kamui.
Before long, the Three-Tails appeared next to a huge iron ball with a diameter of more than ten meters. It used its head to push the iron ball towards the surface of the water.
Soon, the giant iron ball was pushed to the surface of the water by the Three-Tails. The Three-Tails opened its mouth, and the group emerged from the water, looking at the large black iron ball, unsure how to operate it.
"Let's just dismantle it." A purple-white Chakra sword emerged from Shinsei's two fingers. With a wave of his hand, the Chakra sword instantly sliced off the top layer of the large iron ball.
Inside the iron sphere was a small room with a complex control panel. There was no one there anymore, only a pool of bright red blood on the floor.
Is this Nagato's blood? Shinsei quickly collected it; if Nagato died, he could use it to perform the Impure World Reincarnation.
I don't know what Obito Uchiha said to Nagato, but after taking one of his eyes, they didn't fight on the spot. Instead, Obito used Kamui Dimension away.
The large ship from before has been destroyed by the Chibaku Tensei. This place is tens of kilometers away from the small island where we were before.
Fortunately, Sasuke was able to control the Three-Tails and search for surviving ninjas on the sea.
Many ordinary ninja from Kirigakure died; this level of battle was simply beyond their capabilities. They could only be mercilessly slaughtered by the stronger ninjas. Only those at the Jonin or above could barely participate.
Ao and Chōjūrō stepped through the water and landed on the back of the Three-Tails.
"Lord Mizukage!" Ao bowed to Mei Terumi, looking at the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the Three-Tails' eyes, hesitating to speak.
"Shut up!" Mei Terumi whispered to Ao, as if she had already guessed what Ao wanted to say.
But now that there is a powerful enemy outside, the village is extremely dependent on Konoha, and anything that is not conducive to unity will be suppressed by her.
The Three-Tails belongs to Kirigakure, and Akatsuki's target is also the Tailed Beast. She is still racking her brains about how to maintain good relations with Konoha in order to counter Akatsuki.
On the way back, they found some more Kirigakure ninjas, but after Ao and Hinata searched many times, they only found a small portion of them; most of the rest had sunk into the sea.
Finally, they saw the small island where they had set up their temporary camp, and the group got off the Three-Tails beast.
Tsunade asked Mei Terumi, "What are you going to do with this Tailed Beast?"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Mei Terumi breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that Konoha hadn't tried to seize it.
" Lady Tsunade, may I issue a mission to Konoha?" Mei Terumi asked tentatively.
"Of course," Tsunade nodded. "Anyone can issue a mission to Konoha, and as long as we approve it, we'll help you complete it."
"Then I'll issue a mission to the Lord Hokage of Konoha," Mei Terumi said, pointing to the Three-Tails beside her, "Help us seal the Tailed Beast."
Qing was about to speak when Mei Terumi glared at him, shutting him up.
"We'll take this mission. If there's not much combat, we'll call it an A-rank mission." Tsunade wasn't very familiar with Mei Terumi yet, so she didn't dare to speak up too much.
Mei Terumi shook her head. "This is Tailed Beast; an A-rank mission isn't enough. Let's classify it as an S-rank."
Kirigakure has no shortage of methods to seal Tailed Beast, after all, they have Jinchūriki in every generation, and this time when they came out to capture the Three-Tails, they must have brought Sealing Squad with them.
Shinsei could tell that this was a roundabout way of sending money to Konoha.
" Chōjūrō!"
A blue-haired boy walked over.
"Lord Mizukage." Chōjūrō bowed respectfully to Mei Terumi.
Mei Terumi pulled him over and said to Tsunade, "Let's seal him inside. He's our next Jinchūriki."
Shinsei had some vague impression of Chōjūrō from the original work, but he didn't recall him being the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.
However, Kirigakure's attitude towards Jinchūriki is quite good, unlike other villages that discriminate against them, after all, the previous Three-Tails Jinchūriki was the Fourth Mizukage.
Tsunade nodded, walked to the Three-Tails' side, grabbed its paw, and pulled the massive Tailed Beast towards her.
"That's really violent!" Jiraiya muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Tsunade turned around and glared at her.
Jiraiya hurriedly shook his head.
Mei Terumi handed over a scroll. "This is the method used by Kirigakure to seal the Tailed Beast."
Konoha inherited the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan, and Tsunade was a sealing master, so Mei Terumi was not afraid that Kirigakure's sealing methods would be leaked.
" Mizukage- sama," Shinsei said to Mei Terumi, "Could I collect some of the Three-Tails 'Chakra?"
"No! The Three-Tails is an important asset of Kirigakure!" Ao refused sternly.
"Don't make decisions for the Mizukage." Mei Terumi looked at him with a smile.
Ao, feeling a chill run down his spine under Mei Terumi, quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mizukage- sama."
