I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Although the operation against Iwagakure has ended, the alliance between Hoshigakure and Kumogakure has not ended.

Therefore, Nono didn't do anything to the division of supplies.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure!" After confirming that there was no problem with the supplies, Tu Tai quickly apologized.

At the same time, he was secretly astonished.

No wonder the Raikage agreed to form an alliance with Hoshigakure; such operational capabilities are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After calming himself down, Tu Tai immediately got to work on dividing the supplies.

According to the original agreement, the resources looted from the Land of Earth would be split 50/50 between the Hidden Star Village and the Hidden Cloud Village.

"By the way, I heard that two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure have mysteriously disappeared. Does your side know their whereabouts?"

After the spoils were divided, Tu Tai, satisfied with the sheer size of the loot, couldn't resist testing the waters once again.

"You mean Han and Roshi from Iwagakure? They tried to attack our village, but they were no match for us and have become our prisoners. We will even use their tailed beasts to create Jinchūriki for our village," Nonou said calmly.

She didn't hide Han and Lao Zi's whereabouts, because it was impossible to keep it a secret.

She already knew from Naraku that the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails would be made into Jinchūriki for her village.

Therefore, unless they stop using these two tailed beasts in the future, the Hidden Cloud Village will find out sooner or later.

Of course, the most important thing is confidence.

The Star Village has earned its reputation through Naraku's repeated victories.

Even when facing the Hidden Cloud Village, Nono was not intimidated at all.

"Oh, I see. Well then, I'd like to congratulate you in advance."

When Tsuchida learned that the two Jinchūriki of Iwagakure had indeed fallen into the hands of Hoshigakure, he was initially overjoyed, but when he heard what Nono said next, his heart immediately sank.

He had been hoping to win over the Jinchūriki, but judging from Nonou's attitude, it was clear that this was impossible.

Especially when he learned that the Star Ninja Village was preparing to create Jinchūriki, his heart trembled.

The significance of the Tailed Beasts is beyond doubt.

If Hoshigakure truly creates a Jinchūriki, its future military power will not be merely that of a second Amegakure, but will enter the competition among the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The topic of Jinchūriki clearly made Tsuchida unsettled.

After a brief chat, Tu Tai bid farewell, escorted the supplies, and hurriedly returned to Xiangyun Village.

"The people of Kumogakure are very nervous after they learned that we are going to create a Jinchūriki." In the Hoshikagerou office, Nono immediately informed Naraku of Tsuchidai's reaction.

"That's for sure. After all, the significance of a Jinchūriki is immense, so it's normal for the other party to react this way," Naraku said casually, sitting on the sofa.

Nono said, "I wonder what the Third Raikage will do when this news reaches him. I hope it won't affect the alliance."

Naraku smiled and said, "We're not the only ones who need to befriend distant states while attacking nearby ones; the Hidden Cloud Village needs it too."

"We've teamed up to trick the Land of Earth this time, and the Hidden Cloud Village also needs us to distract the Hidden Stone Village, so the alliance shouldn't be a problem for now."

As for the future.

Given the current development progress of Hoshigakure, the need for an alliance with Kumogakure will naturally decrease as time goes on.

Even now.

Even though the Hidden Cloud Village broke the alliance due to dissatisfaction with the distribution of Jinchuriki, Naraku wasn't really worried.

Having a large plate has its advantages.

But smaller plates also have their advantages.

With his current strength, along with Sasori, Nono, Natsumi, and others, if they focus on defense, they are more than capable of protecting the safety of the Bear Country.

Chapter 107 Creating a Jinchūriki

Naraku's composure and calmness gave Nonou a familiar sense of security.

This also made her gradually relax without realizing it.

"By the way, has the choice of the Jinchuriki been decided?" Nonou asked.

Naraku nodded and said, "There's already one."

"Who is it?" Nono asked in surprise.

She hadn't expected Naraku to have already chosen someone so quickly.

“It’s Xia Rixing!” Naraku announced the candidate.

He paused slightly, then continued, "It was Xia Rixing who took the initiative to ask to become a Jinchūriki."

That's right.

The decision to make Natsumi Hoshi into a Jinchūriki was not made by Naraku, but rather Natsumi Hoshi volunteered to approach him.

“Natsumi Hoshino, with her strength and connections, is indeed quite suitable.” Nono was initially surprised, but then she also acknowledged that Natsumi Hoshino had become a Jinchūriki.

Their strength speaks for itself.

As for their relationship, as the mastermind behind bringing Naraku and Natsumi together, Nono naturally trusts Natsumi.

"Let me be the other candidate!" Nono suddenly added.

"You?" Naraku looked at the other person in surprise.

“Yes, I think that in the whole village, besides you, I am the most suitable person to become a Jinchūriki.” Nonou said with a serious expression.

Nono had actually considered the selection of a Jinchūriki, and after careful consideration, she finally realized that she was the most suitable person in the village to become a Jinchūriki.

Her strength and connections speak for themselves.

If she becomes a Jinchūriki, she will be able to better protect the village when Naraku is away.

“Alright, then you and Xia Rixing will serve as Jinchūriki.” Naraku pondered for a moment, and also approved of Nonou, who had also volunteered.

Becoming a Jinchūriki involves two main risks.

First, they are easily corrupted by the chakra of the tailed beasts.

Secondly, having one's tailed beast stripped away severely depletes one's life force.

First, let's look at the former.

The reason why Konoha chose members of the Uzumaki clan to become Jinchūriki is that the Uzumaki clan's naturally enormous chakra and sealing abilities can effectively suppress the corruption of the Tailed Beasts.

However, the Uzumaki clan is not the only one capable of suppressing the Tailed Beasts' corruption.

For example, the Uchiha clan.

The Sharingan also has a natural advantage against tailed beasts.

Although Nono and Natsumi are not members of the Uchiha clan, they possess the three-tomoe Sharingan bestowed upon them by Naraku, which is sufficient to suppress the tailed beasts to a certain extent.

Furthermore, if the Mangekyou Sharingan is nurtured and developed in the future, it will be able to further suppress the Tailed Beasts.

As for the second risk...

Both Nono and Natsumi have the Flying Thunder God Technique set up by Naraku, so he can provide immediate support should they encounter an insurmountable danger.

His own words.

This is not a problem at all.

Even if he were to absorb the tailed beasts in the future, he would definitely ensure the safety of Nono and Natsumi's lives.

The acquisition of the Book of Sealing had already filled the gaps in his sealing techniques.

Even if it's transferring a tailed beast, he's confident he can do it safely.

That night, Naraku used a sealing technique to transfer the Four-Tails and Five-Tails from Han and Rōshi's bodies to Nonou and Natsuhisa's bodies.

Nonou received the Five-Tails, while Natsumi received the Four-Tails.

"So this is what the Five-Tails looks like, but it seems a bit listless."

After completing the transfer, Naraku was the first to enter Nonou's sealed space in his consciousness form.

Looking at the five-tailed beast locked in a cage and bound by chains, Nonou, who had also entered the sealed space, curiously observed it.

“I took a portion of this guy’s power back then.” Naraku also looked at the Five-Tails inside the cage.

Just as Nono said, the five tailed beasts inside the cage looked completely listless.

If Nono had known the original size of the Five-Tails, she would have noticed that the Five-Tails' current size has shrunk by a whole size.

The reason why the Five-Tails is in its current state is naturally due to Naraku's absorption of it.

His absorption goes straight to the source.

Therefore, even after a long time, the Five-Tails still shows no signs of recovery.

"Try extracting their chakra!"

After looking around for a while, Naraku handed the space over to Nonou.

Without hesitation, Nono immediately stepped into the cage and then leaped onto the head of the Five-Tails.

Chakra surged forth, and Nonou's chakra quickly connected with the Five-Tails beneath her feet.
