Chapter 221 What is the new cursed seal?
After making the decision, the Raikage directly assigned tasks to the group: to deliver agreements for cooperation and development to various ninja villages.
The redistribution of interests within the Land of Lightning through reforms is nearing its end. What's needed now is not to divide the cake, but to make the cake bigger.
These tasks were naturally assigned to Killer Bee's team and Yugito.
Four people, each going to a different ninja village.
There is another crucial small ninja village, Amegakure. The Raikage did not assign any villages there, but let the four of them decide their own destinations. Those who were going to Iwagakure or Sunagakure could go to the nearest village.
Kirabi, of course, stayed in the village.
It wasn't because the Raikage didn't believe in Killer Bee's power, but because he didn't believe that Killer Bee's mouth and personality could properly complete a diplomatic mission.
As for the jinchūriki going out to carry out missions?
Isn't that standard practice in every village?
In fact, the only one that was truly protected like a "treasure" was Killer Bee, who was once imprisoned in the Cloud Thunder Gorge.
That's because Killer Bee is the Raikage's younger brother, not just a Jinchūriki.
So, someone is trying to capture the Tailed Beasts, so we need to be even more careful?
—It's as if no one ever wanted to capture tailed beasts or jinchūriki before.
The Hidden Cloud Village itself is the one that most wants to capture Jinchūriki from other villages, okay?
But we didn't see Konoha locking the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the village as a local spirit binder, did we?
He's always out there carrying out various missions.
Moreover, Yugito is a Jinchūriki, and someone who can freely control his Tailed Beast transformation, second only to the Perfect Jinchūriki.
If they dare to make moves during diplomatic negotiations, and the Two-Tails and Yugito go berserk, it will be enough to give the other ninja villages a hard time.
In conclusion, the four were ultimately assigned diplomatically.
The farthest water village, Kirigakure, was entrusted to Omoi, as well as some smaller countries along the way, such as the Land of Waves. If they were already allied according to intelligence, he would also be responsible for forging alliances with them.
The remaining Karui went to the Land of Fire, the Woodman went to the Land of Earth, and Samui went to the Land of Wind.
Yukito volunteered to go to the Land of Earth on purpose.
As mentioned earlier, if someone has ulterior motives during diplomacy, and the tailed beast goes berserk in the village, it won't be a pleasant experience.
Tailed beasts can attack indiscriminately, but can the Kage, who are responsible for protecting the village, do the same?
The reason the wooden puppet went to Iwagakure in the Land of Earth was to test whether Iwagakure, which currently has the worst relationship with Kumogakure, could actually form an alliance.
If even Iwagakure can be abandoned, then the credibility of those previous claims has been raised to a new level.
If Iwagakure has designs on her, then it's perfect timing, since she's been feeling stifled at Hozuki Castle for a while and wants to cause some trouble.
As for Amegakure, which played a decisive role in the intelligence and was the dominant force in the alliance, or rather, Bai Mo.
Yukito, who was going to Iwagakure, and Samui, who was going to Sunagakure, decided to travel together after completing their respective missions.
Anyway, the Land of Rain is sandwiched in the middle.
Bai Mo and his group crossed the sea and returned to the mainland.
The road back to Amegakure and the road back to Kusagakure are the same, so Bai Mo and his group, along with Ryuze and the prisoner Wuwei whose chakra was sealed, were traveling together.
When passing through Kusagakure, Tsunade, in the name of the Hokage, handed over Muwei to Kusagakure for imprisonment and briefly recounted what had happened at Hozuki Castle.
The people of Kusagakure didn't care, after all, they sent Ryuzetsu there to stop Muwei.
They were all aware of the idea of non-action.
"Tequila..."
Finally, when it came to Ryusho, Tsunade looked troubled.
"Lord Hokage, there's no need to say anything more. I understand. We all understand."
The people of Kusagakure had an understanding look on their faces.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Tsunade bid farewell to the people of Kusagakure and returned to her group.
The tongue-shaped object was in the group.
That's right, she's not planning to go back to Kusagakure.
After Uchiha Hikaru questioned her about Karin, Ryuzetsu realized what was going on.
She stopped Wuwei for the sake of the entire ninja world, not for the sake of Kusagakure.
Those greedy and unrestrained ninjas of Kusagakure could kill one Karin's mother with their venom, and then they would kill a second one.
Once the people of Kusagakure learn of her dragon reincarnation, she will become nothing more than a tool, a medical kit.
Moreover, her Dragon Reincarnation is not a bloodline limit. If an ambitious person forces her to teach this technique to others, and then forces those others to transfer their life force and chakra to them...
So Longshe told Bai Mo on the way that she wanted to leave Kusagakure and join Amegakure instead.
Coincidentally, when the people of Kusagakure saw Tsunade's troubled expression, some immediately guessed that Ryuzetsu had died while completing her mission.
After all, judging from Longshe's strength, she really isn't that powerful.
Sending her to handle the Box of Bliss and Wuwei, who was in charge of the entire Hozuki Castle, was roughly equivalent to sending Kakuzu to assassinate the First Hokage from the neighboring Takigakure village.
"Thank you all. I feel so much better now that I'm leaving here."
After leaving the territory of the Grass Country, Ryuhe stretched and thanked Bai Mo.
Actually, Ryuzetsu started by talking to Uchiha Hikaru on the way, but Hikaru completely ignored her.
This is completely different from his previous "kind-hearted" rescue of Yugito.
Having no other choice, Longshe turned its attention to Baimo.
As for Tsunade?
The smaller ninja villages had no goodwill towards the larger ninja villages.
Even though Tsunade's abilities and personality met Ryuzetsu's expectations.
However, similarly, the rumors about Amegakure among the smaller ninja villages have been quite positive lately.
If a place is located in the middle and is weak, it becomes a battleground, where the inhabitants suffer from constant warfare and have no peace.
Conversely, if one is powerful, then all roads lead to Rome, and the Central Plains, the center, are within reach.
Upon returning to Amegakure, Bai Mo's first priority was to check whether his chakra was full after collecting these two waves.
Having received a positive reply, Bai Mo knew that the plan could proceed.
After Tsunade infused his body with her life force and with a little training, Kurama Yakumo was able to move normally again.
To maximize Kurama Yakumo's ability to materialize illusions, Uchiha Hikaru and Hakumo should use their enhancement abilities simultaneously.
However, the most important thing now is to get everyone together and ensure everything goes smoothly.
The "people" here do not include those who are out on missions, those who are managing the economy within the village, or those who are working as security guards in the Land of Waves.
The most important thing is...
"Where did Orochimaru go?"
"Konoha?"
Upon learning from Kabuto Yakushi that Orochimaru had gone to Konoha, Bai Mo began to suspect that Orochimaru's old illness had relapsed and that he wanted to destroy Konoha again while Tsunade was away.
Otherwise, why would anyone go to Konoha?
Tomb raiding?
"Lord Orochimaru has developed a new cursed seal and wants to find someone to test it on..."
The expression on Yakushi Kabuto's face was very strange when he answered Bai Mo's question.
"A cursed seal? That's a good thing."
Bai Mo was surprised.
I never expected Orochimaru to be able to develop a cursed seal in addition to the Heavenly Cursed Seal and the Earthly Cursed Seal.
As expected, the original work did limit Orochimaru's scientific research development.
