Chapter 158 Redemption
Konoha Village.
The Hokage's office.
After receiving the reply from the Uchiha clan, the Third Hokage didn't sleep well all night.
I invited Koharu Utatane and Enoki Mitokado to my office early in the morning.
"Was the battle in the Uchiha clan's territory last night really fought with the One-Tailed Beast?"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are, after all, advisors and elders, and they each have their own people.
They couldn't possibly be unaware of the battle that took place in the Uchiha clan's territory last night.
However, the Uchiha clan can't get in right now. If it weren't for Shukaku's huge commotion, they wouldn't know what happened inside.
"I sent someone to inquire with the Uchiha clan, and this is Fugaku's reply."
The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.
"What do you mean by Uchiha?" Mitokado Homura asked.
In the past, Jinchuriki kept their abilities hidden, using them to launch Tailed Beast Balls.
It was only after the emergence of the perfect Jinchuriki that they became a surprise weapon on the battlefield.
However, no Jinchūriki can act alone.
This is the first time since the founding of Konoha that an enemy Jinchuriki has been captured alive.
The Third Hokage shook his head. Before, they were on the defensive; now, they were even more on the defensive.
"The Uchiha clan isn't responding right now; they might be dealing with their Jinchuriki."
Mitokado Homura said in a hoarse voice, "If the Uchiha could control the One-Tailed Beast, plus the Nine-Tailed Beast."
A heavy feeling settled over everyone.
"We can't let the Uchiha keep the One-Tailed Beast."
The three of them reached a consensus, but the most crucial question is how to proceed.
"Let's notify Fugaku to hold a high-level meeting and sound him out first."
The Third Hokage currently doesn't know how the Uchiha clan will play their cards, but he simply doesn't have many cards left to play.
We've been in a very passive position all along.
……
Just as things were getting turbulent in Konoha Village.
Qianyao's true form was fishing on the border of the Land of Fire.
He neither informed Konoha nor his clan what he was doing.
Everyone else knew that he had fought with Yukito.
They were unaware that the Uchiha had used this to blackmail Kumogakure.
Yunyin has now set up camp and has Qianyao stay there while they wait for the ransom to arrive.
Meanwhile, Yunyin was on the perimeter driving away those who wanted to gather information.
News of Yugito's defeat by Uchiha Chiyo has already spread.
If word gets out that Yunyin was blackmailed for 3 billion, then Yunyin will have completely lost face.
However, the more you try to hide something, the more people from all sides will want to know.
By this time, more and more people had gathered around.
However, since everyone was involved in intelligence work, there was no conflict among them.
Even if they don't get along, at most they'll just sit in different places.
At this moment, a signal flare was fired from a distance far from the camp.
hope, who had been near the camp, also beamed with joy and exchanged a glance with Yunyin beside her.
The other Cloud Hidden members all tensed up and nodded slightly.
hope disappeared quickly.
Chiyo, who was sitting by the campfire, naturally saw it as well.
Unexpectedly, the people from the Hidden Cloud Village arrived in less than three days.
It seems there's some danger ahead.
After the two clones from Konoha merged into one, Chiyo freed up one clone's slot.
He pressed his hand into his shadow, and a clone quietly formed.
Then Chiyo closed her eyes slightly and shifted her consciousness to Yagura.
At this moment, Wuyin and the others were still rapidly traveling on the airship, but as they reached the near sea, their speed was gradually decreasing.
Chiyo tapped Yagura's feet a few times from the shadows.
Yagura immediately understood.
He, who had been holding his arms, suddenly stood up from the bow of the ship.
"Don't slow down, we've already reached the Cloud Village. Get ashore as quickly as possible!"
Mei Terumi, who was accelerating at the rear, paused for a moment, and then immediately unleashed a massive amount of chakra in her hands.
Then the ship's speed increased dramatically!
The strong wind pressure made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
Yagura covered himself with the Tailed Beast Cloak and spread it out to block the wind pressure for everyone.
At this moment, Ao, who had activated his Byakugan, shouted, "Lord Mizukage, there are reefs all ahead. If we hit our ship, it will be totaled."
Yagura said calmly, "Speed up, they can't wait any longer."
"With me here, everything will be alright!"
The calm words of their own water shadow gave them great confidence.
Qing was also focused on observing the front and constantly adjusting the airship's route.
"Unavoidable reef ahead! Impact in five seconds!"
With a roar, everyone on the ship got ready.
"Bang!" A huge impact sound rang out.
The airship shattered instantly, and everyone was thrown out.
Yagura's chakra expanded suddenly, catching the three of them and dissipating the impact before throwing them off.
Just as the group had regained their footing, Yagura Karatachi landed and used his Water Mirror Technique.
A clone of him, identical to himself, immediately appeared from the ground.
The two unleashed their tailed beast cloaks and rushed towards Qianyao's direction, shouting, "You guys follow behind!"
……
Hi saw the exhausted Raikage and Killer Bee.
"Lord Raikage, Lord Killer Bee," Hiyori hurriedly reported.
"Yukito is currently sealed with an unknown flame by Chiyo."
"Yugito is completely unable to use her chakra, and if she is too far away from Chiyo, she will be burned."
"But Uchiha Chiyo hasn't gone anywhere in the past two days, and neither Konoha nor the Uchiha have provided any support."
“Uchiha Chiyo has a very strong sense of perception. He said that as long as he senses the Raikage and Killer Bee, he will kill Yugito.”
Although Killer Bee's fighting power is slightly lower than the Raikage's, his recovery ability is much stronger.
Upon hearing hope's report, he angrily said:
"That damned Uchiha Chiyo?! He's not leaving here today!!"
Raikage's face was extremely gloomy. He exhaled and took out a storage scroll from his waist and gave it to hope.
"He removed the seal on Yugito and gave it back to him, bringing Yugito over to join us."
hope's eyes were deep: "Don't worry, Raikage-sama, I know what to do."
After he took the scroll and left, Raikage immediately took out a special soldier's ration pill from his pouch and put it in his mouth.
Once the wooden puppet is out of danger, he must keep Uchiha Chiyo here forever.
……
After hope returned, he gathered everyone together and brought them to Qianyao's side.
"Lord Qianyao, our ransom has arrived."
Qianyao, who was standing by the campfire, opened his eyes and stood up, a half-smile on his face.
"You Cloud Ninja arrived pretty quickly?"
His complexion remained normal.
"After all, he is a Jinchūriki of our Kumogakure, so naturally we must come as quickly as possible."
Qianyao asked noncommittally, "What about the ransom?"
hope took out the scroll she had obtained from the Raikage.
"Thirty billion is all here."
Chiyo glanced at Yukito, who was standing silently beside her.
"Does this piece of trash even deserve your 3 billion ransom?"
Yukito glared fiercely at Chiyo: "What did you say!?"
Qian Yao turned his head with an icy expression: "What? You're not convinced?"
Nozomi reached out to stop Yugito and gave her a look.
Yugito suppressed his anger, snorted, and remained silent.
