Uya trained at Mount Myōboku for about two months until the Five Gates of the True Eight Gates Released Formation within his body were once again filled with Natural Energy before returning to Amegakure.
This time, Uya's Sage Body has been nearly half completed.
Of course, the Sage Body cannot be categorized by whether it is half-completed or fully completed; it will only undergo a fundamental transformation when it is truly completed.
Even now, even though it's halfway done, it hasn't activated the activity of all the body's cells, and the recovery ability hasn't increased much; it's just made the body a little stronger.
In Uya's office.
At this moment, Uya was reading a document, while Konan stood quietly to the side.
The information contained was the data Konan had gathered over the past two months regarding the Tailed Beast, but Nagato had once again disappeared without a trace.
However, there was an unexpected situation: the Akatsuki founded by Konan Yahiko still exists, which is a very strange loss.
Yahiko is currently managing Amegakure. Even if some members of Akatsuki are still alive, they have all joined Amegakure. Logically, the Akatsuki name should no longer exist.
However, while Konan was gathering intelligence, she discovered that the Akatsuki still existed, but its base was no longer within the Land of Rain, and its location was unknown.
This new Akatsuki was completely unfamiliar; even Konan didn't know who was in it. In the end, she concluded that it was very likely that Nagato was the leader of this new Akatsuki.
After Nagato saw that Yahiko's idea had failed, he wanted to use another method—to experience pain—to bring peace to the Shinobi World, and he might very well have taken over the Akatsuki.
Konan has been tracking this new Akatsuki, but since the Akatsuki's base is no longer in the Land of Land of Rain, but has been active throughout the Fourth Shinobi World War, it is very difficult to find accurate information about them.
" The One-Tail Beast has been captured by Sunagakure again, that's interesting. The Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails are in Kumogakure, the Three-Tails is in Kirigakure, and it seems to be in the wild now. The Four-Tails and the Five-Tails are in Iwagakure..."
Uya looked at the information about the Tailed Beast in his hand, his mind racing. This information was pretty much what Uya remembered; the Tailed Beast were still in the same place.
The only difference is that the Seven-Tails is now in a wild state, while the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki in the original work seems to be just a child.
Moreover, Konan accurately located the Seven-Tails ' location.
It can only be described as a coincidence. Although the Seven-Tails is not in the Land of Rain, it is in a small country next to the Land of Rain. When Konan was searching for the New Akatsuki controlled by Nagato, she accidentally discovered its whereabouts.
"In that case, the closest Tailed Beast is the Seven-Tails. Hmm, there's no point in capturing more. Just capturing one will surely give Madara Uchiha, who's hiding in the shadows, a huge headache."
Uya's lips curled up slightly. The Nine-Tails could be replaced by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku who had absorbed its Nine-Tails Chakra, but if the Seven-Tails was also with him, the Ten-Tails would be unable to escape.
Speaking of which, the Seven-Tails seems to be a Tailed Beast that can fly. Although Uya is very strong now, he does not have the ability to fly and can only stay in the air for a short time at most.
Considering that Madara Uchiha once made Nine-Tails- Tails) his Summoning Beast in the original work, this shows that Tailed Beast can also become Summoning Beast. Therefore, the Seven-Tails, which can be used for transportation, is a good choice.
Uya still doesn't have Summoning Beast of his own.
The main reason is that Uya's power hardly requires any Summoning Beast, unless they are Tailed Beast. Otherwise, even the Toad of Mount Myōboku or the Manda of Ryūchi Cave would have little effect on Uya.
"Teacher Uya, the Seven-Tails frequently changes its location. I've already dispatched ninjas to secretly monitor it and keep track of its movements. Shall we capture it now?"
"Um."
Uya tossed the documents in his hand onto the table, stood up, and said, "Knowing the location is enough. No need to trouble yourself. I'll go there myself; after all, it's a Tailed Beast."
"Shouldn't we inform Kushina- sensei?"
Konan asked Uya, knowing that Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and possessed the strongest of the Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails.
"No need, I'll be back soon."
After Uya nodded slightly to Konan, his figure flashed and disappeared.
When Konan saw Uya leave, she didn't show any unusual expression. Instead, she calmly helped Uya deal with the documents on the table.
If Uya were to take action himself, even a powerful Tailed Beast would have no chance against Uya, and he wouldn't even need anyone's assistance. Konan knew very well how powerful Uya was and had absolute confidence in Uya.
In her view, there was almost nothing that Uya couldn't accomplish.
The Seven-Tails can fly, and it is an extremely cunning Tailed Beast that frequently changes its habitat and is extremely good at disguise.
If it hadn't been discovered by chance, and if a sensory ninja hadn't been secretly keeping an eye on it, finding it would have been very difficult.
At this time, in a small country in the Shinobi World.
This is a range of mountains with dense forests layered upon each other. This country borders both the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, so its landscape is similar to that of the Land of Fire, while also receiving a large amount of water flowing from the Land of Rain.
Therefore, the plants and forests of this country are even more lush and dense than those of the Land of Fire.
In this forest, Uya's figure flashed and appeared here, glancing indifferently ahead.
After Uya appeared, several Rain Ninja quickly approached Uya.
"Collar."
" The Seven-Tails is just ahead; I'll lead the way for you."
Several Rain Ninja bowed to Uya, and one of the sensory ninjas spoke up.
However, Uya squinted at the distance and shook his head, saying, "No need, it's already here."
The moment Yu Ye finished Uya, a fierce gust of wind howled in, instantly causing the trees in the forest to sway wildly, while a terrifying aura crashed down from above.
The terrifying Chakra shook all directions, causing some trees to snap in two!
"I knew it! There were little bugs following me... Hehehe, I'm a bit hungry anyway, so I'll treat them to a snack!"
The enormous figure of the Seven-Tails Chōmei, appeared in the sky. It looked like an insect and its body seemed very fragile, but the terrifying Chakra emanating from it made the Rain Ninja present show expressions of horror.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!"
"Now we can only fight head-on; we can't launch a sneak attack anymore."
"Fighting Tailed Beast head-on is extremely difficult..."
Several Rain Ninja sensed the terrifying power and exchanged glances, a hint of fear appearing on their faces. However, with Uya by their side, they didn't turn and run. (To be continued.) 8
