Deep in a valley somewhere in the Land of Fire, Uchiha Itachi and Inogaki Kisame escaped from the pursuit of the Mist Ninja and came here with a jinchuriki.
In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts along the way, neither of them went to the market town.
Food is sourced from local animals hunted in the forest, as well as water from mountain springs and rivers.
The reason why he was so careful was because Kisame carried a jinchūriki on his sword.
"The capture of the Jinchuuriki has finally come to an end. Although the battle was enjoyable, the troubles after the war are quite a headache."
"Stop complaining, you'll be able to have a good rest after a while."
There is an abyss in the deep valley that divides the mountain into two like a natural chasm, and in the middle is a dark abyss with no bottom.
Itachi and Kisame stood on the broken wall, a dark wind blew from the abyss, blowing their faces with a hint of cold air.
"We're finally here. I've had a lot of hardships along the way." Kisame Inikisaki sighed as he lowered his head and looked at the cave on the other side of the abyss.
"Go in and prepare the barrier. I'm afraid I won't be able to move it for the next few days."
Itachi Uchiha waved his hand and shot out a kunai, with a steel wire connected to the end of the kunai.
The abyss and cliff in front of us is an insurmountable chasm for ordinary people, but for experts of their level, it is just a long-distance jump that requires some means.
"Yes, I will be unable to move for several days."
"Those two zombie monsters are quite capable. They captured the two-tailed Jinchuuriki so quickly. The next step is to seal the one-tailed and two-tailed ones."
Kisame jumped up and easily jumped to the other side with the help of the power of the wire.
The cave on the other side of the cliff is a secret stronghold of the Akatsuki organization. Ordinary people will never come to this kind of place. It is very hidden and safe.
Even so, Itachi also arranged the barrier very carefully.
In the next few days, it is necessary to extract the tailed beasts from the first-tailed jinchuriki and the second-tailed jinchuriki and seal them into the outside demons.
During this period, those involved in the seal cannot move.
Entering the interior of the cave is far better than the imagined scene covered with cobwebs and dust.
Although it can't be said that it was a hurry, at least there was a place to rest, which was far better than sleeping in the open air.
The art of magic lantern body!
An ugly demon sitting cross-legged with a heart like a dead tree. The ten fingers of a human hand with a heart are intertwined and the fingertips point upward like Buddha seals.
Nine figures stood quietly on each finger.
There are entities and phantoms among them.
In the cave where Itachi and Kisame are, the two of them are entities, and the others are all phantoms transformed by the Phantom Body Technique.
In the Akatsuki Base of Rain Country, Tendo Payne and Konan are entities, while the others are phantoms.
"The progress is faster than expected. The first, second, fourth, and fifth tails have all been captured successfully. For the third tail, Scorpion and Deidara should go there."
"I will definitely provide you with information."
Tiandao said coldly.
Hearing that the first one was caught, Deidara immediately jumped out and asked dissatisfiedly, "The first one was caught? Who stole our target? Hmm."
"Shut up, Deidara!"
Xie scolded, if someone could exceed the task limit, he would have more time to study the puppet.
He was very happy for someone to catch the first tail, and it would be best if someone could catch the third tail.
"But Brother Scorpion, won't we catch one less one this way? No, let's just catch all the remaining tailed beasts! Hmm."
Deidara said enthusiastically.
Deidara and Scorpion were in the Kingdom of Wind at this time and did not know Orochimaru's plan, nor did they know that a jinchuriki had been sent to Konoha Village.
If two people catch one, they are bound to miss the mark.
Xie gave Deidara a cold look, wouldn't it be a good idea to have someone do it for him?
Catching tailed beasts is no easy task.
Moreover, Scorpion has received the latest news from the Kingdom of Ghosts. He has a very important thing to do. How can he have time to catch tailed beasts one by one?
A trip to the Kingdom of Water to capture the Three-Tails would have already wasted a lot of his time.
"Ignoring the remaining tailed beasts, the most important thing right now is to seal the first and second tails, and then capture the third tail as soon as possible."
Tiandao interrupted Deidara who was in high spirits.
After a pause, he reminded again, "Next, the first and second tails will be sealed. They will not be able to move for a short time. Everyone should pay attention to concealment and safety."
Tiandao's gaze swept over everyone.
The magic lantern body technique, the magic dragon nine seals and other magic scrolls are already in hand when everyone becomes a formal member of the Akatsuki organization and receives the codename jade ring.
This is a technique that Akatsuki members must learn.
Everyone knows the principle.
"If there are no problems, let's get started."
Seeing that no one answered, Tiandao spoke.
No one had any objections. Being able to access the magic lantern body and appear showed that they were all in a hidden place.
There is no need to worry about safety and other issues.
As Tiandao's words fell, the members of the Akatsuki organization standing on the fingers of the demon statue raised their sword finger seals one after another.
The nine magic dragon seals are over!
Gather the ten strongest ninjas as casters and activate the seal statue with everyone's consciousness.
Use the attraction chakra released from its mouth to extract the tailed beast's chakra and seal it.
The chakra of the huge tailed beast requires an S-level caster for several days to activate, and ordinary ninjas cannot even activate the seal statue.
…
Tian Country, Sound Ninja Village.
Deep in the gloomy and dark underground, an oil lamp swayed with a faint yellow light.
Kabuto Yakushi, who had fled Konohagakure by disguising himself as a corpse when he saw the situation was bad, was rummaging for information in Orochimaru's secret room alone.
As Orochimaru's confidant, Yakushi Kabuto knows many secrets about Orochimaru.
Even if he doesn't know it, he is sure that he can find it out from various bases.
"Lord Orochimaru was killed like that? I don't believe it. How could that Lord die so easily?"
Yakushi Kabuto pursed his lips, and the pupils under the frame of his glasses kept trembling slightly.
"Even if Lord Orochimaru is killed, I will inherit everything from him."
"Lord Orochimaru's ambition will not disappear just now!"
In the secret room, most of Orochimaru's forbidden scrolls are stored here, as well as various versions of research data.
Including the reincarnation of the dirty land, the sealing of corpses and ghosts, the art of Baqi, the reincarnation of the immortal corpse, the contract scroll of Ryūchi Cave, etc.
Yakushi Kabuto collected all the forbidden magic scrolls and decided to find a safe place to study them.
"Konoha Village, Bull Demon King."
Just wait until he gets the full power of Lord Orochimaru.
But Orochimaru-sama's power alone is not enough, more combat power and stronger power are needed.
Kabuto Yakushi already has a target.
The shadows of Ryūchi Cave and various ninja villages, as well as the strong men wandering in the pure land!
