Chapter 534: Capturing Jinchūriki

Uzumaki Aonagi, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Libra Jūgo were eating and drinking in the town of Bird Country.

Qianyu's eyelids twitched as she watched.

Didn't you say you were out to explore? Why do you look like you're out for a trip?

After eating and drinking their fill, Uzumaki Aonagi and the other two asked the shop owner where they could see the birds unique to the Land of Birds.

The shop owner replied, "If you want to see the unique birds of our Bird Country, you have to go southwest. When you see a large forest, you have reached your destination. However, if you want to see them, you have to rely on luck, because these unique birds are very rare."

"thank you."

After paying the money, Uzumaki Aonagi took Kaguya Kimimaro and Libra Jūgo out of the town and headed southwest to go see the birds.

After walking for a long time, we finally saw a dense forest.

Uzumaki Aonagi pointed in the direction of the forest and said with full energy: "The target is in front! Kimimaro, Jūgo! Go!"

Kaguya-kunmaro and Libra Jūgo have become accustomed to Uzumaki Aonagi's sudden surprise.

Libra Jūgo is quite happy, because he loves nature and can understand the language of animals.

Just as Uzumaki Aonagi and the other two were preparing to enter the forest, they saw a man not far away who was wearing purple clothes and a breastplate, with his hair tied into a small bunch at the back like a ponytail and a big beard. It seemed that he was also going to enter the forest.

And this person is Lao Zi.

Qianyu frowned when he saw Lao Zi.

Why is the Four-Tails Jinchuriki here?

Qianyu's expression became serious.

To be honest, with the current strength of Uzumaki Aonagi, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Libra Jūgo, ordinary ninjas, even elite ninjas, may not be their match.

If we make guesses based on Lao Zi.

Qianyu guessed two existing possibilities. One possibility was that Lao Zi was fighting with Uzumaki Aonagi and the other two, and the other possibility was that Uzumaki Aonagi and the other two happened to encounter members of the Akatsuki organization who came to capture Lao Zi and fought with them.

Qianyu activated his Observation Haki and sensed his surroundings, and his expression suddenly changed.

Jigen, Sasori and Deidara!

Qianyu's body moved subconsciously, trying to suck Uzumaki Soranai and the other two into the magical space and take them away.

But Qianyu forced himself to hold it back. This was part of Uzumaki Soranai's growth process. It would not be good to protect Uzumaki Soranai all the time.

However...Jigen, a being that even he couldn't defeat, still made Qianyu very worried.

Even if he could foresee the future, if he didn't have enough time to act, he would most likely fail.

Qianyu thought for a moment, then turned and rushed towards Jixian.

Uzumaki Aonagi greeted Lao Zi and said, "Hello, do you live nearby? Can you give us some directions where it's easier to see the birds that are unique to this place?"

Lao Zi ignored Uzumaki Aonagi and went into the forest alone.

Uzumaki Aonagi curled her lips and said, "You are so cold. Forget it. Let's find it ourselves and go in."

Uzumaki Aonagi and the other two also entered the forest.

Cixian and the other two were heading towards Lao Zi.

Jigen suddenly stopped and said to Sasori and Deidara: "You two go first, I'll come over later."

After he finished speaking, before Sasori and Deidara could say anything, Jigen left.

Deidara complained, "What's wrong with this guy? He just left talking to himself."

Sasori now chooses to stand on Jigen's side, while Deidara did not choose to stand on Jigen's side, or on Black Zetsu's side.

Because Deidara is loyal to the Akatsuki organization and is a very stubborn person, Black Zetsu has no intention of recruiting him.

It is also because Deidara is very stubborn. Being loyal to Akatsuki means being loyal to Nagato, and being loyal to Nagato means being loyal to Jigen. There is no difference, so there is no need to recruit Deidara specifically.

Scorpion urged, "Okay, hurry up, after we capture the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, we still have to go to Takigakure Village."

Sasori and Deidara continued to move in the direction of Lao Zi.

Cixian asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Qianyu walked up to Cixian and said, "I need your help."

Cixian smiled and said, "We are partners now, so if you need my help, just tell me."

Chiba said to Jigen: "You should go to capture the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. There are three children in the forest. Don't harm their lives."

Cixian agreed straightforwardly: "Okay."

Then Cixian asked, "Since you came to me specifically instead of taking them away directly, it seems that you want to train them, right?"

Qianyu nodded: "Yes, that's right, that's exactly what I meant."

Jigen asked, "What about Sasori and Deidara?"

Qianyu replied: "There is no need for the two of them. Since we want to train them, actual combat is the best way."

Cixian said to Qianyu, "Okay, don't worry. I am still very generous to my companions. If the three of them interfere in our battle, I will not harm their lives. However, since it is an actual battle, injuries may be inevitable."

"I understand. Thank you."

Qianyu used the instant body jutsu to disappear from the spot and continued to observe Uzumaki Soranai and the other two. At the same time, he used his observation Haki to observe Lao Zi at all times.

After Qianyu left, Cixian frowned slightly.

He actually felt a sense of fellowship in Qianyu...

Is it an illusion?

the other side.

Sasori and Deidara have already stopped Lao Zi.

Lao Zi's eyes were fixed on Deidara, especially the horizontal bar on Deidara's forehead protector: "Deidara... I never thought that the disciple of that stubborn old man would betray the Hidden Rock Village."

Deidara was speechless and said, "Aren't you also very stubborn? When you were in the Hidden Rock Village, you often quarreled with the old man, and didn't you leave the Hidden Rock Village?"

Lao Zi snorted coldly, "I left the Hidden Rock Village only because I disagreed with that stubborn old man. I did not betray the Hidden Rock Village!"

"Stop talking nonsense Deidara, capture him quickly!"

Scorpion took the lead in attacking Lao Zi.

"Fei Liu Hu·Zhen Ba Bo!"

Scorpion fired ultra-high-density poison needles and stingers from the mouth of Fei Liuhu's human puppet and rushed towards Lao Zi.

Lao Zi used the substitution technique to dodge, and the poison needles and stingers hit the wooden stake.

Old Zi stood on the tree trunk and said to Deidara from a high position: "Since you betrayed the Hidden Rock Village, I will kill you here, just as a favor to that stubborn old man!"

"Molten Escape: Burning River Rock Technique!"

After Lao Zi formed seals with his hands, he spit out multiple magma balls from his mouth to attack Scorpion and Deidara.

Deidara immediately used clay, chewed it with his mouth, and mixed it with his own chakra to create a few birds, which flew quickly towards the lava ball coming towards him.

"drink!"

The bird exploded during flight, offsetting the lava ball.
