Chapter 498: Just One Tailed Beast

What happens to a Jinchūriki after the tailed beast leaves his body?

Guaranteed to be hard.

"It seems that the Tsuchikage is very angry with his senior." Jing felt a pain in her teeth at first.

Ohnoki and the Third Raikage are two sworn enemies, and they are always at loggerheads with each other. If you play tricks on me and hit me in the face, I will kick you hard and make you lose face.

Our main focus is to hurt each other.

"Hahaha........"

Speaking of this, the Third Raikage couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

After a while, the Third Raikage stopped laughing and followed Shizuka to the VIP residence arranged by Konoha.

A quiet little courtyard not far from the Hokage's office building.

Perhaps because he was tired of living in high-rise buildings when he was in the Cloud Village, the Third Raikage wanted to live in a quiet courtyard like this every time he came to Konoha.

"Jingyi, you Konoha are not kind. You didn't use your full strength in the war."

Sitting in the small courtyard, leisurely drinking tea and crossing his legs, the Third Raikage complained a few words.

Although the alliance between the Kumogakure and Konoha still exists, Konoha's performance in the war is not satisfactory. It cannot be said that it has no effect, but it is too much of a slacking off.

Unfortunately, it was difficult for the Third Raikage to blame anyone, so he could only complain.

"Senior, Konoha was in the period of transition of Hokage at that time. It was already good enough to be able to send troops to assist your village in the war. Senior, please don't be too greedy."

Jingyi responded to the Third Raikage's complaint very frankly:

"Senior, think about it, if this happened in another village, let alone helping to hold back the Iwagakure ninja army, it would be a problem whether the alliance could be maintained."

"I believe you have heard about the size of the mess left behind by the Sandaime."

Stop complaining. Considering the situation in Konoha at that time, it was good enough that they could help. If it was a Hokage who was thick-skinned or had a bad impression of the Cloud Village, let alone helping, it would have been good enough if he didn't directly terminate the alliance between the two sides.

Given Konoha's situation at the time, even if the alliance was cancelled, the Cloud Ninja Village could only watch helplessly.

Konoha had just ended the war not long ago, and the Third Hokage abdicated and the new Hokage took over. The retired Third Hokage also dug many big holes for the village. The new Hokage had every reason to suspect that Konoha's alliance with the Cloud Village was suspected of betraying the interests of the village.

As long as this reason is used to forcibly terminate the alliance between the two villages, the Cloud Ninja Village will be unable to do anything to Konoha.

"Ahem!! I'm just complaining a few words, you don't have to take it seriously."

The Third Raikage coughed twice and decisively changed the subject.

"Jingyi, regarding the Four-Tails incident, can Konoha support the Kumogakure?"

Is this an attempt to take the Four Tails for yourself?

Jing looked at the Third Raikage whose expression became serious and shook her head.

It seems there is no other way.

The Third Raikage's face, which had just become serious, suddenly couldn't hold back, because if the Cloud Village wanted to force the Four-Tails to stay in the village, they could not do without the support of Konoha. Only with the support of Konoha could they do it.

If Konoha does not support it, even if they do not stand up to oppose it, the three villages of Iwagakure, Sand Village, and Mist Village will stand up and vote with a three to one ratio.

No matter how much the Third Raikage wanted to occupy the Four-Tails, he could not forcibly mark the tailed beast with the mark of the Cloud Village.

"Senior, there is no need. It's just a tailed beast."

You say it so lightly, it's just a tailed beast. You Konoha doesn't need it, but my Kumogakure does.

The Third Raikage felt a pain in his balls.

Compared to other villages, Konoha doesn't need to do all these fancy things because Konoha only has one Nine-Tailed Fox.

Looking at the Third Raikage with disappointment for a while, Jingyi couldn't help but laugh:

"Senior, what I mean is that at this time, there is no need to bother about a tailed beast. It's not worth it."

"?"

"What do you mean?"

The Third Raikage was stunned for a moment.

Isn't it necessary to bother about a tailed beast during this period of time?

Could something big be happening in the ninja world?

"senior."

Jingyi picked up the teapot and filled it up for the Third Raikage. "To be honest, I was planning to send out invitations to all villages to come to Konoha to hold a new round of the Five Kage Talks. Unfortunately, Senior happened to come to Konoha, saving me the trouble of sending someone to the Kumogakure Village."

In other words, is something really big going to happen in the ninja world?

There is no need to hold a Five Kage Summit for ordinary matters. Jingyi wanted to send out an invitation, and hold the Five Kage Summit in Konoha, directly skipping the neutral country of the Iron Kingdom.

"Can I know some relevant information in advance?"

The Third Raikage tried to ask.

He wasn't sure whether Jingyi would leak some news or intelligence to him in advance.

Jingyi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly:

"Since you are interested, I will tell you. After reading some documents and conducting investigations, I found that Uchiha Madara, who was once famous in the ninja world and as famous as the God of Ninja, did not die in the Battle of the Valley of the End before the First Ninja World War."

What the hell?

The God of Ninja, the Third Raikage is of course no stranger to it. There is only one person who can be as famous as the God of Ninja, Uchiha Madara.

Didn't this guy die a long time ago?

Now you tell me that Uchiha Madara is not dead?

"Wait a minute."

The Third Raikage asked:

"Jingyi, if I remember correctly, Uchiha Madara is from your Konoha. Even if he is not dead, it should be your Konoha's business. How can it be related to the Five Kage Summit?"

Even if Uchiha Madara is very likely to survive, the matter of Uchiha Madara is merely an internal matter of Konoha. It is so serious that a Five Kage Summit has to be convened, and the neutral country of Iron Kingdom is directly skipped. Isn't this a bit too much?

Facing the question raised by the Third Raikage, Jingyi smiled faintly: "Because Uchiha Madara is secretly planning a conspiracy related to the ninja world. This conspiracy will affect our five major ninja villages, plus Takigakure."

"Uchiha Madara is targeting the tailed beasts?"

It is related to the five major ninja villages and is also related to the Takigakure. The Third Raikage instantly thought of the key point.

Because in the entire ninja world, only the five major ninja villages and Takigakure possess tailed beasts, and Shizuka added Takigakure, the hint is already very clear, which is the tailed beasts.

"Correct."

Jingyi came up with a more reasonable explanation: "Based on the clues I investigated, the existing literature, and the Nine-Tails' revelation, I believe that Uchiha Madara is not dead, and he wants to seize all the tailed beasts in the ninja world."

"why?"

The Third Raikage couldn't understand, even if Uchiha Madara was not dead, why did this old guy target the tailed beasts? Even if you target the tailed beasts, you can just target the Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast, isn't that enough? Why bother targeting the tailed beasts from other villages as well.

Jingyi did not answer the question.

Instead, he continued, “A few years ago, I saw a pair of eyes that only existed in legends in a certain country, the eyes of an immortal.”

"........"

The Third Raikage's expression froze.

It seemed as if a pair of invisible hands squeezed his heart hard.
