Chapter 681 Recovering the Three-Tailed Beast
Upon first hearing "big turtle," Mei Terumi paused for a moment, then realized what she meant, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"You...you're looking for the Three-Tails??"
"Well, is there a problem?"
Jig calmly looked at Mei Terumi. Under the gaze of those gleaming Tenseigan, Mei Terumi dared not ask any questions. Even if the Three-Tails was incredibly important, at this moment she could only force a smile and say something awkward.
"Of course, no problem. But... Lord Jigsei, may I ask about the Nine-Tails of Konoha...?"
Upon hearing this, Jig smiled, raised one hand, and a layer of red chakra slowly covered his entire palm.
Seeing this, Mei Terumi immediately felt better.
Konoha has already handed over the Nine-Tails, so what else can Kirigakure say?
The problem with tailed beasts as nuclear weapons isn't that we don't have them, but that others do.
However, what Mei Terumi didn't know was that Konoha had only handed over a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra, while their Three-Tails would probably be used by Gigan and his group to make turtle soup.
Giger's eyes flashed with golden light. After scanning his surroundings, he slightly opened his eyes, and the space behind him suddenly collapsed into a black void.
Yomotsu Hirasaka is a spatial ability that some Otsutsuki can activate. It is also a spatial teleportation technique, but unlike Jigsaw Kamui, it can carry people with it.
Giger turned and stepped into the black space, followed by Lily and Kaguya. After the three of them entered, the space that had been opened closed.
This unpredictable method was another major shock to the ninja of Kirigakure.
Qing swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask,
"Lady Terumi, are we really just going to hand over the Three-Tails to them like this?"
Mei Terumi snapped out of her daze, glared at Ao, and said irritably,
"Otherwise what? None of the three of them are people we can handle. And didn't you see that even Konoha handed over the Nine-Tails? There wasn't even a hint of news about this. No wonder he's the shrewd Third Hokage. I think he probably agreed even more readily than we did."
Recalling her experience in that forest just now, and how Otsutsuki Isshiki casually defeated their Kirigakure elite, Mei Terumi felt that her decision just now was absolutely correct.
Trading a Three-Tails for the safety of the entire Hidden Mist Village is an incredibly worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it.
On the other side, above a calm lake, the figures of Giger and his two companions emerged from the void.
The three looked down at the lake, the water's cover was useless, and the three tails floating in the depths of the lake were practically naked in their eyes.
For Kaguya, the Three-Tails was undoubtedly the perfect tonic. Kaguya's face was filled with excitement, but she did not immediately attack the Three-Tails in the lake. Instead, she looked at Gigg.
Giger nodded slightly. Upon seeing this action, Kaguya immediately waved her sleeve. The next second, the entire lake seemed to be lifted into the sky by an invisible hand, leaving only the three-tailed creature lying bewildered at the bottom of the pit.
It suddenly raised its enormous head and looked at the three people in the air with its turtle eyes. When it saw Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was located on one side behind Gig, a very human-like look of fear immediately appeared on its face.
"That, that is!?"
Upon realizing the identity of the newcomer, the Three-Tails reacted decisively. It immediately opened its massive maw and unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball at Kaguya in the air. Then, it raced frantically away into the distance.
Although it looks like a turtle, it runs extremely fast and can dart far away in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the enormous Tailed Beast Ball that shot towards her, Kaguya simply raised one hand, and the entire Tailed Beast Ball disappeared into her palm without even making a ripple.
Kaguya glanced at the Three-Tails, which was still running wildly, and clenched her hands, which were hidden in her wide sleeves. The giant Gedo Mazo appeared out of thin air. It opened its mouth and spat out a tongue-like chakra tentacle, which instantly pulled the Three-Tails back.
The Three-Tails let out a roar of resentment before merging entirely into the body of the Gedo Mazo.
After absorbing the Three-Tails, the Gedo Mazo's withered skin became noticeably shinier, and after a burst of smoke, the Gedo Mazo disappeared.
Kaguya let out a soft breath and bowed to Giger,
"Thank you for your help, Lord Jigsel."
Jiger smiled and said,
"I didn't even lift a finger, why are you thanking me?"
"If it weren't for Saint Giger, I don't know when I would have been able to break free from the seal on the moon..."
"Hehe, even without me, someone would have released you from there. You still have a very filial son hiding in the ninja world."
"...A filial son?"
Kaguya looked at Giger with a somewhat bewildered expression. After a moment of thought, she suddenly realized,
"You mean Black Zetsu?"
Giger nodded.
"Hmm, you've been out for a while now, haven't you thought of contacting him? He's been hiding in the ninja world for hundreds of years for your sake, to be honest, even I admire him a little."
Kaguya tilted her head and said,
"It... can't really be considered my child, can it? Since Lord Jigsing is interested in it, shall I go and find it?"
"No need. Your summoning of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path will definitely be sensed by its people. It will come looking for you on its own soon. Let's wait until we actually encounter it."
"Yes, I will follow Lord Giger's arrangements."
Kaguya is now adopting a very humble attitude, almost like a maid.
At this moment, Lily yawned and said...
"So we're going to wait here for the new Otsutsuki to arrive?"
"Well, in the meantime, I still need to figure out how we should get back. Perhaps we can find the answer on Otsutsuki."
.......
Amegakure Village
Pain stood atop a tower, gazing indifferently down below.
A gray vortex appeared behind him, and Obito, wearing an orange vortex mask, emerged from it.
Pain, without turning his head, said in a low voice,
"Someone summoned the Gedo Mazo in another place, seemingly in the direction of Kirigakure."
Obito's brows furrowed slightly beneath his mask; he had already received the news and had come to confirm it with Nagato.
He feigned surprise and said,
"Besides you, is there anyone else in this world who can summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path? Could there be another pair of Rinnegan?"
Pain turned around, a strange purple light flickering in his cold Rinnegan eyes, and said...
"I've decided that the Tailed Beast Recovery Plan will begin with the Three-Tails, which is hidden in Kirigakure."
