Chapter 1245 Leaving a Criminal Record

The message was quickly transmitted via the ninja world communication talisman. Soon, Gaara (One-Tailed) of Sunagakure, Killer Bee (Eight-Tailed) of Kumogakure, and Naruto Uzumaki (Nine-Tailed) of Konoha arrived, their tailed beast chakra gathering into a colorful energy cloud above the wasteland. The spirit refiners infused their spirit refinement energy into Shangguan Mo's body, and the golden spirit refinement energy intertwined with the colorful tailed beast chakra, forming a giant wing of light behind him.

"Ten-Tails Spirit Refining God, your existence violates the laws of the ninja world. Today, I will represent the spirit refiners and the tailed beasts to end your darkness!" Shangguan Mo soared into the air, his spirit refining hammer merging with the tailed beast spirit refining diagram, transforming into a giant seven-colored light sword. "Spirit Refining - Ten-Tails Purification Array!"

The seven-colored light sword slashed towards the chest of the Ten-Tailed Spirit Refining God. Wherever the light sword passed, the black spirit refining energy was instantly purified, and the puppet's bones began to break inch by inch. The Ten-Tailed Spirit Refining God let out a final roar, and the dark energy in its spirit refining core erupted wildly, but it was firmly locked by the light of the purification array, and finally transformed into pure natural energy, dissipating into the wasteland.

As the light faded, the giant puppet vanished completely, leaving only a Ten-Tails Origin Pearl radiating a soft glow. Shangguan Mo stored the Origin Pearl in the Spirit Refining Manual. The black runes on the wasteland gradually faded, and new shoots began to sprout from the scorched earth—the purifying power of the Spirit Refining Technique not only ended the darkness but also brought new life to the ninja world.

News of the destruction of the Ten-Tails' spirit puppet spread throughout the ninja world, and representatives from various ninja villages sent to the Land of Fire to discuss the establishment of a ninja alliance. In the conference room of the Hokage Building, Tsunade sat in the main seat, with Itachi Uchiha (who had left Akatsuki) and Jiraiya beside her; Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure, Raikage A of Kumogakure, and Onoki of Iwagakure sat on either side, each with a solemn expression on their face.

Shangguan Mo stood in the center of the conference room, placing the Ten-Tails Origin Bead on the table. The bead's soft light illuminated everyone's faces: "The Akatsuki's goal is not to create puppets, but to control the Tailed Beasts' origins through forbidden spirit refining techniques, realizing a variant of the 'Eye of the Moon Plan'—they want to refine the souls of everyone in the ninja world into spirit refining energy, inject it into the Ten-Tails Origin Bead, and create an eternal 'Spirit Refining Illusion'."

Raikage A slammed his fist on the table and roared, "These lunatics! We must immediately gather all the forces of the ninja world and completely eradicate the Akatsuki's stronghold!" Onoki nodded in agreement, "Iwagakure's Dust Release units are ready to go into battle at any time. As long as we can defend the ninja world, Iwagakure is willing to pay any price."

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a Konoha ANBU member staggered in, holding a blood-stained intelligence report: "It's terrible! Obito and Zetsu from Akatsuki, leading 100,000 White Zetsu puppets, have launched a surprise attack on the Kumogakure Tailed Beast Research Laboratory! Killer Bee has been captured!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically. Raikage A suddenly stood up, golden lightning chakra erupting around him: "I'm going to save Killer Bee! Anyone who dares to stop me is an enemy of Kumogakure!" Tsunade hurriedly stopped him: "Lord Raikage, this is an Akatsuki trap. They want to lure us into dispersing our forces."

Shangguan Mo picked up the intelligence report and infused it with spirit-refining energy. The coded message left by Obito appeared: "Three days later, in Amegakure, exchange the Ten-Tails' Origin Pearl for Killer Bee. If the Allied Forces intervene, refine the Eight-Tails into a spirit-refining puppet."
