Chapter 178 178. Cooperation

With Tsunade and Jiraiya joining in, the battle quickly became one-sided.

Satoru had no chance to fight back and could only accept the beating unilaterally. However, no matter what kind of injury he suffered, Satoru could recover quickly and was more difficult to deal with than ordinary tailed beasts.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiraiya clasped his hands and jumped on top of Satoru's head, and slapped it hard with his palms: "Ninja Technique: Four Symbols Seal!"

As the spell was cast, Satoru's body began to be covered with spells.

But after only a few seconds passed, these mantras were swallowed up by Wu, and the four-image seal was destroyed on its own.

After seeing that the sealing technique had no effect, Jiraiya's face became even more uglier. His sealing technique was not considered low among Konoha ninjas, and the four-image seal was already considered an advanced sealing technique.

Further up, there are only large combined ninjutsu and the corpse sealing technique.

After escaping Satoru's counterattack, Jiraiya came to the leader of Kusugakure and said meaningfully: "Master leader, ordinary sealing techniques cannot seal Satoru. So Kusakure Village should just ask for its own blessings."

The leader of Caoyin Village sighed softly, and then said: "Satoru can only be sealed into the Box of Bliss. Ordinary sealing techniques cannot seal it at all."

"Why does the leader know so much about monsters..."

The leader of Kusakure was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is the fault of Kusagakure Village. When the matter is over, I will personally apologize to the Hokage. Let's deal with Satoru first."

Jiraiya snorted coldly and said, "Where is the Box of Bliss now?"

"It's in the ANBU base not far away, but I asked Lord Jiraiya to guide Satoru to the Box of Bliss so that it can be sealed more easily."

Facing Jiraiya, the leader of Kusagakure seemed very groveling.

In addition to Jiraiya and Tsunade's five-kage level strength, it is also related to the overall strength of the village. Kusagakure Village is one of the most powerful small ninja villages, but there is still a gap of five to ten times between the big ninja village and the big ninja village.

It would be okay if the monsters in the Box of Bliss could be controlled.

Kusagakure Village may become a neutral ninja village like the Country of Iron and the Country of Rain.

But the plan failed. In addition to facing the threat from Iwagakure, Konoha would also express dissatisfaction. Coupled with the loss of the free medical tool of phosphorus, the future of the village can be imagined.

After arriving at the Kusagakure base, standing at the edge of the patio, the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard at the bottom.

Jiraiya had very good eyesight. He saw the undead monsters and Akatsuki members fighting below at a glance. He immediately frowned and asked with an unkind expression:

"You also secretly contacted the mercenaries of the Akatsuki organization?"

"Jiraiya-sama, the Akatsuki organization is a very powerful mercenary. In addition to Kusagakure Village, many other villages have hired them to make up for the lack of combat power."

Leader Kusagakure frowned as he explained.

All the other ninjas who had been sacrificed were dead. Why were the ninjas from the Akatsuki organization still alive? Where did Wuwei and the great elder go?

Could it be that they deliberately manipulated Satoru into attacking the village in order to stage a coup against them?

The Akatsuki members also paid attention to Jiraiya and others, and Uchiha Itachi, who was hiding in the ANBU, frowned. He came to Kusagakure Village to perform a mission, how could he still meet the Sannin of Konoha?

After looking at each other, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame suddenly appeared in front of Jiraiya.

"Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Uchiha!" Jiraiya stared at the two of them, fear flashing in his eyes. Both of them were extremely vicious rebellious ninjas and very strong.

Logically speaking, he should take action immediately when encountering a traitorous ninja, but this is not Konoha after all.

Uchiha Itachi glanced past Jiraiya, looked at the leader Kusagakure, and asked: "We need a reasonable explanation why Kusagakure attacked us, why he sacrificed hundreds of ninjas to open that box."

As soon as these words came out, not only Jiraiya and Tsunade, but even the Kusanagi looked at the Kusugaku leader.

Leader Kusakure's scalp was numb, and he said with a confused look: "I don't know. Opening the Box of Bliss doesn't just require one sacrifice. Why do hundreds of ninjas need to be opened? The elders are responsible for these."

Uchiha Itachi said calmly: "Your elder is dead. He died in the hands of another jounin. There is no evidence that he died. Moreover, it has become a fact that Kusagakure attacked Akatsuki."

"You must give Xiao an explanation for this matter."

The scene where the leader of Kusagakure was blaming the blame made Jiraiya feel a little familiar. Danzo was responsible for all the bad things exposed in the village, and the third generation teacher had always been unaware of it.

There is an element of Danzo being good at making claims, but the Hokage doesn't know anything, which makes him seem even more false.

Even if you really don’t know about these bad things, you must at least admit the responsibility for poor supervision.

Leader Kusagakure had nothing to say, so he had to turn to Jiraiya who was standing aside: "Jiraiya-sama, Uchiha Itachi is the traitorous ninja of Konoha. Please take action to deal with him quickly."

Retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Jiraiya let out a long sigh and immediately entered a fighting state.

Uchiha Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Jiraiya-sama, before we resolve the grudges between us, why not first find a way to deal with the monster that ran out of the box. In addition to the flying monster, there are dozens more below. There are monsters with similar heads. If you don’t deal with them, you probably won’t be able to get the box.”

"Are there other monsters?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded: "That box will swallow the ninja corpses around it and transform it into monsters that will not die even if they are attacked by fatal attacks. The number is already increasing."

"If they were allowed to reach a large scale, it would be a disaster for the entire ninja world."

"Although our Akatsuki organization are mercenaries, we will not just watch the destruction of the ninja world. Leader Kusagakure, Jiraiya, and Tsunade-sama must all understand this."

After hearing this, Tsunade, who had remained silent, opened her mouth and said:

"Uchiha brat, you are right. We can put aside the grudges between you and the village for the time being. We can still deal with the monsters that escaped from the Bliss Box together."

"However, once the monster is dealt with, we will still be enemies."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly: "That's natural. Now let's solve the crisis we are facing. I have been looking forward to fighting side by side with Jiraiya and Tsunade-sama since I was a child, and I also dreamed of becoming Hokage."

These words made Jiraiya feel uncomfortable. He still could not understand the reason why Itachi killed his tribe.

As if aware of Jiraiya's thoughts, Uchiha Itachi explained expressionlessly:

"Of course I want to kill my clansmen to prove my ability and obtain these Mangekyō Sharingan. I also asked Lord Jiraiya to tell Lord III to train Sasuke well. I hope to gain stronger power."

"I will tell the third generation teacher." Jiraiya's tone was very unfriendly.
