Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 253 Demon, Two Paths, Choose One

"vomit!!"

Kai vomited violently.

However, there was nothing in his stomach.

Kurenai couldn't help but complain.

"You seem to be very athletic, and you often do some unconventional physical training. Why did you faint like this?"

"I...I...I don't know either!"

Kai plopped down on the snow, questioning the meaning of life.

but.

Standing on the ground, he finally felt alive again!

Jingyan returned with a huge box.

"What else could it be? It must be because your training isn't up to par!"

"Well……"

Kai turned around, narrowed his eyes, and then paused for a few seconds.

Kakashi Hatake?

What are you doing here?

"You shouldn't worry about it. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. You still have to make a trip back!"

Kurenai couldn't help but stab him.

The thought of going back and suffering again made Might Guy's face turn deathly pale, and he immediately forgot to pay attention to why "Kakashi" was there.

His voice trembled: "Do we really have to take a boat? Can't we just run back?"

Run back?

Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment, then said, "Your idea is quite creative, but putting aside the fatigue of running back, if we pass through the Land of Earth, you'll be labeled as an invader, and if we take a longer route..."

"You basically slept the whole way, so it wasn't that painful. Just think of it as taking a nap, and you'll be fine after vomiting for a while when you wake up."

"Kyohiko said coldly."

Kai paused for a few seconds, then said, "Kakashi, you've become the same as before!"

"hehe."

Jingyan carried the box and walked ahead, saying, "Let's go, you idiot!"

Kai quickly followed.

……

A message suddenly came back from Konoha's Anbu.

Kakashi looked at the intelligence report in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Kakashi Hatake's bounty has increased again!

Second.

The Hidden Cloud Village has raised Kakashi Hatake's rating by another level.

What happened?

He searched through the intelligence files, then fell into deep thought.

Finally, his gaze settled on Kyohiko's portrait.

no doubt.

Among those who left Konoha, there was only one person who had the ability and reason to imitate him and "help" him increase his status.

Yoshimine Kyohiko.

"I'm speechless!"

Kakashi stared at the pile of documents on the table and gritted his teeth.

He was working like a dog here, but in the end, he still had to take the blame for Jingyan. It was truly a miserable situation.

I was just thinking about it.

"Captain, this is frontline intelligence sent by the Hokage."

"Lord Hokage?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned serious. "Give it to me now!"

This must be Kyohiko's.

However, he soon stopped worrying so much.

If it were important intelligence, Tsunade would definitely send it over immediately. The current situation is enough to show that Kyohiko's side does not need support.

This intelligence report is mostly a briefing.

He took it and glanced at it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough!

They encountered a ship from the Hidden Cloud Village and even used a wooden clone as cover to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

It was during this battle that "I" became famous.

"Yoshimine Kyohiko, thank you so much!"

Kakashi angrily criticized the document, feeling a strong sense of crisis.

Heaven knows how well Jingyan performed under his identity. He must improve his strength as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to go out!

……

"The Land of Snow is so beautiful!"

Looking at the snow-covered ground, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

She had never seen a country so covered in silver, but she quickly suppressed her joy—

After saying that, Xiao Jingjun's expression was clearly somewhat subtle.

She realized it immediately.

For them, who had never experienced such a world before, this icy and snowy world was indeed very interesting.

but.

However, this may not be a good thing for the people of the Snow Country.

She apologized immediately.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Koi..."

"It's nothing. Every tourist from abroad is amazed by the beauty of this country. It's only natural. But for us, this country has many flaws."

At this point, Koji couldn't help but laugh and say, "I really envy your Land of Fire. The Land of Fire has the best land and climate, unlike our Land of Snow..."

He looked around and sighed.

"Our greatest wish is to have normal seasons like you, but in reality, it's winter most of the time in the Land of Snow."

Then, Nara Shikaku came over.

"Alright, we'll finish processing the goods here and come back to pick them up later. Let's all travel light."

"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Xiaojing."

Shikaku looked at Koi Shun and nodded slightly in thanks.

Xiao Jingjun gently shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's what we should do. But as you've seen, the situation here might not be very good for you."

"We're ninjas, a little cold is nothing to us, let's go."

……

Amidst the heavy snowfall, a figure carrying a box walks through the snow.

Cursing and swearing came from the box behind me.

"Put me down! You idiot! You moron!"

"If you speak again, I'll seal your mouth and nose shut too. Anyway, with the life force of a Jinchuriki, even if your nose and mouth are sealed, you won't die anytime soon."

Kyohiko responded.

His tone was indifferent and calm, but to Kirabi it sounded threatening.

This guy looks like Kakashi Hatake, but he absolutely doesn't believe that the other person is the son of the White Fang of Konoha.

Kakashi is very strong.

With Kakashi Hatake's talent, he was indeed considered a genius at the other's age, but he was not yet capable of making the other feel such a threat.

of course.

the most important is.

Kakashi Hatake would never use such a strange escape technique.

"This should be a bloodline limit ninjutsu derived from Wood Release, it can't be Kakashi Hatake."

Wood Release.

Back then, only the First Hokage mastered it.

In the current Konoha, it is said that there is another person besides Kyohiko who has mastered Wood Release ninjutsu, but his strength and level are not on the same level as Kyohiko's.

Who else but Yoshimine Kyohiko could be confident in controlling the Eight-Tails?

Kirabi's spiritual form sat cross-legged.

He couldn't figure it out.

What is this guy doing in the Land of Snow?

Could it be that they deliberately set a trap to catch me?

Or……

Does he have a bigger scheme?

As Kirabi was pondering, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from outside.

"Tell me, if your older brother or the Third Raikage came here again, in a country like this, would I have any chance of capturing him?"

Capture the Raikage?

How is that possible!

Killer Bee chuckled, but then gradually fell silent.

In the past, he would have thought the Third Raikage was invincible, and that even the Twin Stars of Konoha couldn't defeat him, let alone kill him.

But in reality...

The fact that the Third Raikage failed to save A in the previous battle shows that the combined power of Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze could pose a fatal threat to the Third Raikage.

Even the strongest shield is not omnipotent.

With the magic of Flying Thunder God.

If Kyohiko is here, Minato Namikaze might still be here.

Killer Bee's limited intelligence had been fully utilized, but all he could think of was that Konoha had set a trap here to kill the Third Raikage...

Sudden.

The mental space trembled, and then Killer Bee opened his eyes to see a blizzard raging everywhere.

What's going on?

Killer Bee was momentarily stunned, but he reacted extremely quickly, immediately attempting to use his chakra—

The next second, it was as if a water pump was rapidly drawing chakra from his body.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a giant tree growing out of his body, and it was these trees that were drawing chakra from his body.

"Hold on!

The demon used chakra to stabilize his body, temporarily slowing down the rate at which his chakra was being extracted.

however.

The next second, the chakra of the bull demon was quickly diverted.

moment.

The demon realized...

The other person's target is themselves!

however.

At this point, it was too late for it to get away.

Killer Bee's chakra maintained Wood Release, while Wood Release simultaneously drew chakra from the tailed beasts, which was then guided by Kyohiko to the octopus tail wrapped in trees.

A new eight-tailed creature is forming.

"Compare……"

The consciousness of the Eight-Tails is gradually weakening.

Because Killer Bee's body was increasingly drained of the tailed beast's chakra by his Wood Release abilities, a new Eight-Tails, Gyūki, was being conceived within the tree.

Jingyan was already very familiar with this operation.

On the trees, flower buds bloom, and tiny bull demons emerge.

It looked up and remained silent for a moment.

This state...

cooked!

So familiar!

At this moment, the trees withered and dissolved rapidly in a short period of time, leaving only the many shackles on Kirabi's body.

"What do you want to do?"

"Kumakure has launched several attacks against Konoha. Let's leave aside the events from the Second Hokage's time. First, they tried to steal the Nine-Tails, and then they tried to lure away Danzo, a rogue ninja from Konoha."

Jingyan lowered his head. "Do you think I'd let them off so easily?"

"..."

The demon had nothing to say.

From its perspective, many of the things done by the Hidden Cloud Village were really unethical. The only reason it was willing to help the Hidden Cloud Village was because it had a good relationship with Killer Bee.

and so.

It had no intention of helping to whitewash the events of Kumogakure stealing the Nine-Tails and colluding with Danzo.

From Konoha's perspective, they did the right thing!

"So, what are you planning to do with Killer Bee?"

"It should fetch a good price."

Even without his status as the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee is still an extremely powerful elite Jonin, and with some training, reaching the Kage level would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, he had left one-fifth of the tailed beast's chakra for the other party.

Kyohiko is not worried that Kumogakure will reject him.

The demon couldn't help but look up at the boy in front of him.

He remembered someone from back then.

Madara Uchiha!

The boy in front of me has some traits similar to those of Madara Uchiha.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"That's not your concern. Now, Ushioni, you have two choices. One is to come with me. After arriving in Konoha, you will gain a certain degree of freedom. The other... I will send you to an absolutely safe place, where you will face imprisonment."

It's impossible for Flying Thunder God to send Ushioni back from such a long distance.

but.

Kyohiko also has Mount Myōboku.

With his abilities, he could easily reseal the current Ushioni within the amber stone, using it as a vessel to send the toads to Mount Myōboku for safekeeping.

After a few seconds of silence, the demon said, "I choose the first option."

Since there's no way to resist...

Then we can only choose the more advantageous direction.

It sighed silently.

If Kyohiko's abilities weren't so effective against tailed beasts, it wouldn't be so docile and obedient.

"Very good, the cooperation is achieved. Killer Bee will be sent back."

Jingyan forms a hand seal.

Transporting Killer Bee from the Land of Snow to Konoha would require an enormous amount of chakra, but for him...

It's just a matter of removing the Yin seal!

During his time in the Anbu, Kyohiko wasn't idle even when he wasn't on missions. He had already stored six chakra sealing pools within his body, each containing a considerable amount of chakra.

Two are freed up, enough for Flying Thunder God teleportation!

Chakra release.

then……

Two wooden clones appeared beside Jingyan, and then the main body and the wooden clones quickly constructed a spatial passage together.

"What do you want to do?"

Killer Bee had just recovered from the dizziness of having a large amount of chakra drained in a short time when he sensed Kyohiko's aura rapidly increasing. When the three Kyohikos appeared...

He was utterly shocked.

Three times the chakra!

Does this guy have no limit to his chakra?

The clone possesses a similar amount of chakra as the original body, with almost no reduction...

While Kirabi was still pondering, the world suddenly spun around him.

When he opened his eyes.

All around him, monkeys barked wildly, gorillas pounded their chests, and snakes crawled all over him.

Kirabi swallowed hard.

What place is this?

A kingdom of animals?

He looked around and saw a figure getting closer and closer.

This face...

Orochimaru!

"Heh, Killer Bee from Kumogakure? The things Kyohiko sends are getting more and more high-class."

Orochimaru licked his lips. "Such a good test subject, how should I thank him?"

Kirabi immediately drew the blade from his waist.

next moment.

Bang!

A gorilla ran up behind him and knocked him unconscious.

Killer Bee, who didn't have much chakra left, was immediately knocked unconscious.

"Well done, but the noise was too loud. You can be more discreet next time."

Orochimaru glanced at it, then pressed a button on the side.

A moment later, the secret agents arrived.

"Lord Orochimaru, again..."

"It wasn't an experimental accident. Send this person to prison and keep an eye on him. Also, send a report to Tsunade and Kakashi so they are both informed."

"yes!"

Shusaku Tsukiko glanced at it and was secretly surprised.

Killer Bee!

The Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts in Kumogakure!

How could he...?

Kyohiko!

He immediately thought of Kyohiko, who had left the village.

No one else possesses such an ability except him.

"The captain is really strong! He went out for a short trip and brought back a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast! But, this is a Jinchuriki from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village). Won't this cause a war?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Hideaki Tsukikage sneered, "Didn't the Hidden Cloud Village want to capture Kushina back then? We simply did what they couldn't. As for what you're talking about, the Hokage will handle that!"

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Hand them over to the sealing squad!

Tsunade and Kakashi received two separate messages at the same time.

One of them was a message sent by Killer Bee to Konoha.

The second proposal came from Kumogakure, who hoped to negotiate a deal with Konoha regarding Killer Bee.

"Old man, what do you think? I told you, Jingyan can do it!"

Tsunade slammed the two scrolls on the table with more force than ever before.
