Chapter 184: Alliance is confused, the mission to escort the Jinchūriki begins!
After Kakuzu and the other two left the gold exchange office, a figure appeared in the darkness.
"These ninjas are really interesting."
"Maybe, we can wait a little longer."
A low voice came out slowly.
Then, the shadow disappeared from the spot.
……
a.
Inside the Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama, the compensation from Kumogakure and Iwagakure has been delivered."
"In addition to the compensation we requested, several mines and fertile lands that were seized from us during World War III were also returned."
"The Hidden Cloud Village has sent a request for an alliance."
"The same goes for Iwagakure Village."
"At the same time, the Sand Village contacted us and asked when we would be going to take the Jinchūriki away."
Yamanaka Inoichi listed the key information from these intelligences one by one.
This is not the first time that Yamanaka Inoichi has received information from other villages.
But this time, it’s the first time to receive such exciting information.
The whole person is filled with a feeling of excitement and pride.
"Let's put the alliance matters aside for now."
"Right now, our cooperation with the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Mist Village is underway."
"Regarding the Jinchūriki matter...let the Uchiha do it."
"By the way, those little devils don't seem to have any missions recently, let them go too."
It would be most appropriate to let the Uchiha ninja go.
After all, their Mangekyō naturally suppresses the tailed beasts.
I heard that the Jinchuriki of the Sand Village is about the same age as Naruto and the others, but he is not able to control the power of the tailed beasts for the time being.
As long as Uchiha is here, there will be no problem.
Moreover, with Naruto around, it would probably be possible to integrate the opponent's Jinchūriki into the village more quickly.
"Understood, Hokage-sama."
Yamanaka Hai nodded, then turned and left the Hokage's office.
Go and publish the task.
"Once Naruto and the others return from this mission, it will be time to give them new training."
"After all, Naruto and Sasuke have already been recognized by Myobokusan and Ryuchido, and are just waiting to participate in the trial."
"And... this thing, you can try it too."
"The prescription that Naruto provided is indeed effective."
“I can clearly feel the changes in my body.”
Jiraiya spoke slowly.
"You guys can arrange this matter."
"I've already made arrangements for Sakura."
"By the way, ask the parents of the children of the other families to start teaching them the art of spiritualism."
"Even if they don't get the recognition of the fairyland, having a powerful spirit beast partner can also improve their strength to a higher level."
Tsunade nodded and expanded.
"Orochimaru, recently..."
"Orochimaru has been in his laboratory the whole time, and my shadow clone is watching over there."
"It's just that I don't understand what he does."
Tsunade originally wanted to ask about Orochimaru's recent situation.
have no choice……
The things that Orochimaru did were beyond their understanding.
"By the way, Orochimaru has also been using the medicine Naruto prepared."
"How come this kid has so many secrets?"
Jiraiya then spoke again.
His words were full of pride.
After all, Naruto's father was his apprentice.
Naruto is his junior.
"Well, don't worry too much about Naruto. He has his own clear plans for the future."
“There are still many issues we need to deal with now.”
"The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village suddenly and decisively gave compensation and applied for an alliance. This is what puzzles me the most."
Tsunade handed the alliance application between the two villages to Jiraiya.
The above completely lowers their status.
There is no longer the same attitude as before.
This sudden change made Tsunade somewhat confused.
"The Fourth Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage."
"Neither of these two people has this kind of personality."
"As for why this happened... I think there is some connection and speculation between the two villages."
"The most likely reason is why Konoha suddenly became so powerful..."
Jiraiya directly stated his guess.
Speaking of Konoha's changes...
The biggest ones are two points.
First, the Uchiha clan once again became one of the core forces of the village.
Second, the three legendary ninjas of Konoha returned together.
"What I'm most worried about is that they want to test our strength and then hide the idea of taking action themselves."
"After paralyzing our nerves, launch a surprise attack on the village."
Tsunade was a little worried.
Because, once such a situation occurs.
No matter in the end, Konoha has enough strength to suppress it.
It will bring great losses to the village!
……
Next, the two of them started a discussion on this matter.
Finally, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Hyuga Hiashi, Uchiha Fugaku...even Orochimaru who was doing research in the laboratory were called together.
Cooperation between villages is sometimes not as simple as it seems...
……
Within the Uchiha clan.
"Sasuke!"
"Naruto, and everyone."
"Stop for a moment, the village has a mission for us."
A group of young men who were fighting in the training ground stopped fighting and came to Uchiha Itachi after hearing his words.
Every youthful face is filled with anticipation and excitement.
Finally there is a mission.
They have been training in the village for a long time.
"Brother, what is the mission this time!?"
Sasuke spoke, his eyes full of little stars.
"Escort the Jinchūriki."
"The Sand Village and Konoha have formed an alliance to send their Jinchūriki, who is also the child of the Kazekage, to our Konoha."
"As a symbol of peace."
"Because he is a Jinchūriki, we need to arrange for someone to escort him."
"I will lead the team for this mission."
"You twelve people, follow me to carry out the mission."
"Because your teacher has a lot of tasks recently."
"So, he won't go with us."
Uchiha Itachi simply told everyone the content of this mission.
"Escort the Jinchuriki?!"
"It sounds like it's very interesting."
"Is it the same as Naruto? With a tailed beast inside his body?"
"It seems so. There are nine tailed beasts in total. After this mission is over, our village will have three."
"That sounds really cool. I'll go back and get ready. When are we leaving?!"
……
Except for Naruto, everyone else was a little excited.
Naruto thought about how Gaara would react when he saw him again.
The departure time is tomorrow at noon, and everyone has gone back to prepare the things needed for the mission.
Naruto also bid farewell to Sasuke temporarily and headed towards his own residence...
