Chapter 444: Jinchūriki Leaving the Island

"This is the situation now."

The information about the attack on Kamejima was reported to the Tsuchikage and the Hokage. The Jinchūriki was safe, and that white guy naturally posed no threat to the Jinchūriki. It looked like a small accident that would be resolved soon, but everyone present knew that it was temporary because the Jinchūriki's location was exposed.

What to do next? It seems there aren't many options.

Killing the Jinchūriki is one way to prevent Madara's plan from going forward, but no one can guarantee that the Akatsuki organization will stop. The Allied Ninja Forces are being led by the nose in the situation. Once Madara's plan to seize the Jinchūriki is thwarted, he is more likely to retaliate rather than give up.

If they were to attack the Nine-Tails in advance, they would certainly not be able to let the Eight-Tails go. But if they really had to attack Killer Bee, after all, the Raikage Ai would be more or less reluctant to do so. Moreover, if the Hokage did not take the initiative to speak up or express opposition, forcing it to be enforced would inevitably lead to the immediate collapse of the fragile alliance between the two countries, and the coalition might immediately fall into an internal melee.

Konoha's Uchiha Sasuke was trying to establish his authority over the Land of Fire. This was not a big deal, but the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki happened to be involved. If the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha was not harmonious, the current Hokage was still his master. Sasuke was outside the power circle of Konoha, and the relationship between him and Konoha was complicated and difficult for outsiders to judge. A phantom assassin, the Kumogakure high-level officials had experienced it before. Wasn't the situation at that time also a warning? Relying on his strength, the Raikage could ignore Sasuke's threat, but it was only him.

Winning, disrupting the enemy's plan, how to minimize the cost...thinking too much is really not what he should do.

The Hokage was against hiding the Jinchūriki in the back to protect him from the beginning. Of course, there were other ways to break the situation, but it was not yet time to resort to force.

Anyway, let's discuss it first. Remember Tsunade said before that she wanted to bring the Jinchūriki to the battlefield. There are only two villages with Jinchūriki. Since the plan to hide them on Kame Island has failed, if the specific details of the plan proposed by Konoha are fine, it is not unacceptable to use their plan instead.

"Excuse me, Raikage, regarding the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, has he ever shown any special perception talent?"

Now that the Jinchūriki has been exposed, why are the people of Konoha still thinking about the previous problems?

"No, Kirabi is a ninja who uses swordsmanship. Perception is not his forte. Did you find anything?"

"Some records in Konoha state that Jinchūriki have shown unique perception abilities, but there is no evidence. Your village has had a perfect Jinchūriki for many years, so you should have more information about the tailed beasts."

"Let's first discuss the issue of how to deal with the Jinchūriki. Konoha has close ties with the Three Holy Lands. Have you ever considered hiding the Jinchūriki in the Three Holy Lands? Uzumaki Naruto himself has signed a contract with Myoboku-san, right?"

Ohnoki tapped the report paper on the table with a calm face. His Jinchūriki had passed away early, so the pressure would not fall on his shoulders for the time being.

"Don't worry, Raikage. The details of the fight after the Jinchūriki was discovered are not written down."

"Isn't it clearly written? The enemy is not strong and will have no resistance after the fight."

"What is the problem?"

"It's not that the village tamed the tailed beasts just because we have a Jinchūriki, and it's not your Raikage's credit that you became a perfect Jinchūriki."

"Since the Nara brat has said so, why not ask your family's Jinchūriki first, is this difficult?"

"It takes half a day for letters to come and go. We don't have time..."

Ohnoki's calmness and his "anxious, anxious" expression made the Raikage angry without saying anything more.

"If you have anything else to ask, let's do it together!"

"The Turtle Island can be moved, so let it swim. Also, I think it's time to use the emergency plan."

The ninja coalition was tied down and had no idea when they would be able to come up with a solution, so they simply put it aside.

"You mean..."

The reason why it was called "emergency" was that the Kages would personally take action when the ninja coalition could no longer hold on. Hearing Ohnoki's words, the Raikage's anger subsided.

"Since the location of the enemy's lair has been discovered, we can just wait here. You guys discuss the matter of the tailed beasts. I'm going to take a walk."

“How many people are needed?”

"No, I can fly fast, don't bring anything in the way. I won't bother to guess until you can conjure up a few more."

"I'll fire a few Dust Releases at their lair. I don't know if there will be any riots. Have the ninjas on alert."

"Understood. If an enemy appears, don't confront him head-on."

After the Raikage gave his instructions, he confirmed Ohnoki's plan. Tsunade also took out a small slug.

"Keep in touch at any time. As long as you stay in the war zone, the contact distance is sufficient."

Ōnoki flew away from the window, leaving behind a confident profile. His Dust Release had absolutely high damage output, and his status as a veteran pilot meant an extremely high dodge rate, so much so that he didn't even need any poison healing.

The Raikage turned around and sent his men to send a letter to inquire about the details of their previous fight with Kirabi, and issued an order to the coalition forces to be on high alert: in order to avoid the action being exposed, without mentioning the reason, just to let each unit be on high alert for enemies or riots that may appear at any time.

"So Naruto, two Chūriki, what do you mean."

"Again, I think the strategy of protecting the Jinchūriki is fundamentally putting the cart before the horse. As the absolute top fighting force of a village, the Jinchūriki should at least stand together with the village."

"If the enemy takes away the Jinchūriki and the tailed beast in the battle, I don't want to experience what the hell is this 'world of illusion' he mentioned!"

There was nothing wrong with the Raikage's questioning. He should not have given the other party any chance. Tsunade did not refute it.

"When Gaara was captured, the Akatsuki people had to find a secluded place to do it, and it took quite a while to extract the tailed beast. There are no records of your other helpers."

"Under the current circumstances, if the Jinchuriki shows up, the white thing will pose no threat to them. Maybe Madara will take action himself. Even if the coalition forces remain in a stalemate, as long as Madara shows up, we will have a chance to fight him directly."

A lot of speculation, the remaining problem is that there is no solution.

"Tsunade, are you gambling again?!"

"Then what do you say we should do? Jinchūriki will join the battlefield and act together. I will act with them!"

Well, the nanny wanted to tie up with the enemy target directly. Several people present noticed the hidden dangers and made various small moves that did not agree with it. It was not to question Tsunade's strength, but Tsunade really had no advantage in blocking, interrupting the enemy, and defending.

Boom boom boom!

There was a hurried knock on the door. In order to prevent White Zetsu from entering this confidential meeting, no one else was allowed in. After the Raikage agreed, he asked the guard to go to the door to take the message.

Then he slapped Tsunade in the face.

"Look for yourself! Your kinchuriki left Turtle Island without receiving orders!"

Something strange has happened again. Tsunade did not reply to the Raikage. She will wait and see what happens next:

Naruto found the enemy and the battle started, so he said he wanted to go to the front line. Killer Bee said he would protect Naruto and followed him! The barrier can't stop him at all!

In just a few lines of writing, Tsunade had figured out a way to shirk responsibility.

"Well, we tricked Naruto to the island in the first place. Now that things are irreversible, let's think about what to do next~"
