#708 - Success Retreat and talk

“Great Elder, something bad has happened! The Seven Tails has been sealed into Shibuki's body.”

Hearing the name Shibuki, the Great Elder of Takigakure was first stunned, and then he realized who the person was.

He was the son of the previous village chief, less than fifteen years old this year. Because of his excellent talent and his father's political legacy, he was specially allowed to participate in this operation as only a Chunin. He was mainly responsible for the defense of area B2, which was neither too far nor too close to the sealing room.

Wait a minute~

Why is he concerned about who Shibuki is? Even if he is the son of the previous village chief, he is only a Chunin now. Isn't the important thing why the Seven Tails was sealed into his body?

Instantly sorting out his thoughts, the Great Elder of Takigakure immediately asked, "What exactly is the situation?"

Hearing this, the Takigakure ninja who had come to report immediately told him everything he had seen.

“Reporting to the Great Elder, the situation is like this……”

······

Time rewinds to one minute ago.

After Qingming activated the 'Ame no Minaka' ability, he immediately took the Seven Tails away from the sealing room.

Originally, even if no one was presiding over it, the seal on the ground could prevent the Seven Tails from leaving.

Uh……

At least, that would be the case for a short time.

However, Qingming's 'Ame no Minaka' is just so unreasonable. It directly took him and the Seven Tails to another dimension, allowing them to escape the restraints of the ground sealing formation.

Thus, Qingming directly took the Seven Tails and swaggered out of the sealing room.

Then, he passed through several class A defense areas and arrived at area B2 where Shibuki was located.

By this time, the duration of Qingming's 'Ame no Minaka' was almost at its limit.

Fortunately, the ninjas here were not very strong.

So, he canceled the 'Ame no Minaka' ability.

Then, taking advantage of the Takigakure ninjas' lack of reaction, he used the 'Four Symbols Seal' at the perfect level to temporarily seal the Seven Tails into Shibuki's body.

As for why he chose Shibuki?

Qingming could only say that it was a coincidence.

Among the Takigakure ninjas present, Shibuki was the closest to him, and he happened to be a Chunin who was relatively easy to control, so he just grabbed him.

What he didn't know was that this casual grab of his directly changed the future of Takigakure.

You should know that in another timeline, Shibuki eventually became the youngest leader of Takigakure.

But now, it is not even clear whether he can live to the end.

Even if Qingming is kind and preserves his life when transplanting the Seven Tails in the future, and releases him back to Takigakure, it is impossible for him to become the leader of Takigakure again.

After all, no village can accept someone who was first captured by the enemy and then released to serve as the leader.

As for Gaara later, that was just a special case under various coincidences.

In other words, he directly changed the future of Takigakure, which is the so-called "plot".

However, not to mention that he didn't know Shibuki's identity beforehand, even if he did, he wouldn't have hesitated.

Perhaps in the past, in order to maximize the advantages of 'precognition', he would have tried his best to maintain the original "plot".

But now, as his strength has improved, he no longer values these things so much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have solved Danzo so quickly.

You should know that Danzo, as an important villain, is the scapegoat of Konoha and even the ninja world, and he has a lot of subsequent "plot".

Even the extremely important Uchiha clan extermination incident has a part of him in it.

But even in this situation, Qingming still killed him without saying a word.

This move can be said to have completely changed the future of Konoha.

As one of the five major ninja villages in the ninja world, the changes in Konoha's situation will naturally affect other ninja villages.

In this way, transmitted layer by layer, what will eventually be affected is the entire ninja world.

It is foreseeable that the future ninja world will definitely be very different from what he remembers.

Therefore, Qingming no longer values the so-called plot.

Uh……

It seems a bit far off topic.

Returning to the main topic, after sealing the Seven Tails into Shibuki's body, Qingming did not entangle with the Takigakure ninjas present. He directly took Shibuki and used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to teleport outside Takigakure.

Before, at LV5 and LV6, he needed to do some preparation to use this technique.

But now, after being promoted to LV7 and undergoing qualitative change, he can activate it almost instantly.

With his current level of 'Flying Thunder God Technique', except for being unable to use it flexibly in high-intensity battles, there are not many shortcomings.

Because of this, although there were many Takigakure ninjas present, no one could stop him.

······

Time returns to the present.

Outside Takigakure Village, in that forest, two figures appeared abruptly.

It was Qingming and Shibuki.

What should I say?

As expected of a future village leader, even though he is less than fifteen years old and has just had a tailed beast stuffed into his body, Shibuki still calmed down immediately.

Standing on a tree branch, he glanced around. From the surrounding terrain and landforms, as well as the types and growth of plants, he could determine that he was still near Takigakure Village.

And the method that the other party used to transfer him just now…

Shibuki looked at Qingming, who was still disguised as a Takigakure Anbu, and said, "Who exactly are you? Why do you know Konoha's 'Flying Thunder God Technique'?"

“Oh, you recognized it?”

Hearing this, Qingming said with interest.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shibuki's face suddenly darkened to the extreme.

He just wanted to trick Qingming, but he never thought that the other party would directly admit it.

This made Shibuki feel very bad.

Honestly, he would rather he guessed wrong than get this answer.

After all, as Konoha's secret technique, on the surface, only the current Fourth Hokage—Namikaze Minato—knows the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.

Namikaze Minato would naturally not lower himself to hide his whereabouts and steal their village's tailed beast.

But even if the person in front of him is not Namikaze Minato, he must have a great connection with Konoha.

Therefore, this action must have been authorized by Konoha, so what exactly does Konoha want to do?

Or, the technique used by the person in front of him is not the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' at all. The reason why he admitted it is just to shift the blame?

For a time, Shibuki didn't know which possibility was true.

Seeing that the other party was guessing with difficulty, Qingming simply canceled the 'Transformation Technique', took off his mask, and revealed his original appearance.

“Uchiha Qingming?”

Seeing him for the first time, Shibuki recognized his identity and immediately said, "Does your Konoha want to start another ninja world war?"

“Hehe~”

Hearing this, Qingming chuckled twice and waved his hand, "Don't worry, Konoha is Konoha, I am me, I don't want to start a ninja world war."

Shibuki knew that he was no match for Qingming, so even though Qingming temporarily released him, he did not try to fight back or escape. Instead, he wanted to continue to extract information from Qingming's mouth.

“Then what is your purpose? To become a Jinchuriki?”

Feeling the majestic chakra leaking from the Seven Tails in his body, Shibuki asked.
