Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 102 The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Reaction! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

As Orochimaru activated the technique, the Four-Tails' body began to twist and stretch under the pull of the jutsu, and then it burrowed into Hoshino Shu's abdomen.

In the blink of an eye, all four tails were sealed into Xingxia Xiu's body.

Tsk~~

As puffs of smoke rose, Xingxia Xiu's clothes had disappeared, revealing a large hole in her abdomen.

The skin on the abdomen near the cave entrance bore the marks of being burned by the powerful chakra of the tailed beast. However, the burns quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sealing formula of the Four Symbols Seal.

Self-healing!

Orochimaru's eyes lit up upon seeing this.

Xingxia Xiu felt that her body had become much heavier, but she could bear it completely.

However, the sealed Four-Tails broke free from the Heavenly Dream Walker's technique.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru's Four Symbols Seal was not effective enough, so they twirled their four tails and unleashed their chakra in an attempt to break the seal.

Even before breaking the seal, his chakra had already seeped out of it, and a surge of malice attacked, attempting to influence Hoshino Hide's rationality. A dense crimson tailed beast chakra also appeared on Hoshino Hide's body.

This made Jiraiya and the others change color, and they all prepared to take action.

At this moment, Hoshino's consciousness appeared in the sealed space, and the Four-Tails roared angrily: "Damn brat..."

"Just behave yourself!"

Xingxia Xiu showed no mercy and formed a hand seal.

Immortal Techniques - Bright God Gate!

Boom boom boom!

One after another, huge red torii gates descended from the sky, first suppressing and sealing the four tails of the Four-Tails, and then crashing down on them, causing the Four-Tails to lie flat on the ground.

"This is... Hashirama Senju's sealing technique."

Four-Tails stared at Hoshino in shock: "I didn't expect you to have mastered even this!"

Xingxia Xiu lowered his hand and said, "As expected, the prerequisite for speaking properly is having a strong fist."

Four-Tailed Fox sneered: "If you want me to submit, don't waste your time."

"I would never cooperate with someone like you."

Xingxia Xiu chuckled: "Your attitude doesn't affect me much."

"Even if you don't cooperate with me, I can still forcibly extract your chakra."

"You should know very well that you can't fight me."

Yotsuba said calmly, "It makes no difference to me."

He indeed had no way to resist the powerful seal of Xingxia Xiu, but the seal of Iwagakure could also suppress him.

"Kid, being a Jinchūriki isn't so easy."

The Four-Tails quietly looked at Hoshino: "Although you inherited the power of Hashirama Senju, Hashirama Senju is just an insignificant part of the lives of us tailed beasts."

Tailed beasts are immortal; even if they die, they can be resurrected.

Being suppressed now is humiliating and makes him very unhappy.

But Hoshino Shuu was bound to die sooner or later, just like Hashirama Senju.

These human ninjas are but a fleeting moment in the lives of their tailed beasts.

Slowly closing its eyes, Four-Tailed Fox ignored Star-Under-the-Scenes Show.

Hoshino Shu didn't care either; he just wanted a perfect Jinchūriki, but it didn't matter if he didn't.

Even if he wasn't given the power of the Four-Tails, he could still obtain it anyway, so it wouldn't have a significant impact.

Moreover, a four-tailed fox is not a nine-tailed fox.

Furthermore.

He aspired to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, which meant he was destined to be unable to communicate with the tailed beast.

Just use it as a power bank.

……

When Hoshino opened his eyes, he saw Jiraiya and the others looking at him with concern.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems."

Hoshino Hide stood up with a smile, then looked towards the direction of the Iwa ninja and said, "The Iwa ninja reinforcements have arrived. Jiraiya, you guys retreat first."

He nodded without hesitation, without any formality.

The fact that Konoha has taken possession of the Four-Tails will surely cause a huge uproar. We must let the village know about this as soon as possible so that they can take appropriate action.

After watching Jiraiya and the others leave, Hoshino Hide picked up Rōshi's corpse and teleported to the edge of the Tree World in a few flashes: "In Sage Mode, I'm quite a powerful sensory ninja."

"It's really convenient to sense things through natural energy."

"Moreover, it is clear and covers a wide range."

After waiting for a moment, the Iwa ninja came into view.

"That is..."

"Old Purple!"

"Damn it, I can't sense his chakra at all!"

"Did this guy steal the Four-Tails?"

Many Iwa ninjas turned pale.

When they were fifty meters away from Xingxia Xiu, many Iwa ninja stopped in their tracks. Then a middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Wood Release user, return the Jinchuriki, or we will start a full-scale war."

Threat?

Although he no longer has the "Unyielding to the Death" state, Xingxiaxiu is the least afraid of threats and the most hated by them.

Hoshino Hide casually tossed aside Old Purple's corpse and said indifferently, "Hey, I'm returning the Jinchuriki to you. If you want to start a war, don't use that excuse again, or I'll lose my temper."

A single Iwa ninja used several leaps to carry Roshi's body back.

"Dead!"

"Damn it, they actually killed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

"What about the four tails?"

"Was he with the Jinchuriki, or has he already been taken away by Konoha?"

The numerous Iwa ninja were in an uproar.

The leading Iwagakure jonin had an ugly and solemn expression on his face.

He took a deep breath and then gave the order: "Withdraw!"

"Report the situation to the Third Tsuchikage immediately!"

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki is dead, and this already extremely troublesome guy is probably even stronger now.

After all, with just thirty of them, they couldn't possibly defeat the rampaging Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

Since we are not confident in defeating this Wood Release user, there is no need to make a sacrifice.

Carrying Old Purple's corpse, the numerous Iwa ninja quickly fled into the distance.

Hoshino didn't make a move, and these guys maintained a relatively safe distance, which was a pity.

After deactivating his immortal mode, Xingxia Xiu turned and left.

……

"What?! A killed the Four-Tails' jinchūriki, seized the Four-Tails, and even became its jinchūriki himself?"

Mitokado Homura suddenly stood up, looking at Jiraiya and Orochimaru with disbelief.

He then asked, "Was this an order from Hiruzen or Danzo?"

Jiraiya and Orochimaru remained silent.

Mitokado Homura's expression turned ugly: "How dare you! How can you act so recklessly?"

"Iwagakure will definitely react violently to losing the Four-Tails, which will put us in a very passive position."

I asked you to restrain the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, not to kill him.

Jiraiya said, "Now that the deed is done, we must prepare for war on all fronts. Also, we need to send the intelligence back to Konoha."

The latest novel is first published here!

Orochimaru said, "It's inevitable that Iwagakure will react violently, but we may not necessarily be passive."

"I believe that A's strength is enough to change the course of a battlefield."

Based on what we've seen so far, Orochimaru believes that Hoshino Shu's strength has already surpassed the level of a Jonin.

Wood Release is least afraid of group battles.

And single-component.

The Wind Release: Rasengan can collide with the Tailed Beast Ball.

Currently, Orochimaru believes that only a strong person like the Third Tsuchikage can reliably suppress Hoshino Shu.

Mitokado Homura rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on: "Then immediately send the information back to Konoha, and also notify everyone to be on guard against the fierce attack from the Iwa ninja."

Outside the tent, someone immediately went to carry out the order.

……

Leaf Village, evening.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had planned to go home for dinner, but an urgent message was sent back from the Land of Rain.

After taking a look, his expression changed, and he immediately sent someone to the root.

Not long after, Danzo arrived at the Hokage's office and, after reading the intelligence, his expression changed.

I know you're radical, but I didn't expect you to be this radical!

Danzo's first reaction was similar to Mitokado's: this is big trouble.

The original plan will be disrupted.

But then Danzo thought of many benefits.

The benefits for him.

Danzo's expression instantly returned to calm.

Seeing the change in Danzo's expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi wondered, "Danzo, did you order the capture of the Four-Tails?"

Danzo shook his head: "He doesn't know that his mission is to become the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

"Moreover, even I am not confident in defeating the Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

"It seems we all underestimated the power of Wood Release, even if Kou only inherited a portion of its power."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

Of course, the most surprising thing was that Hoshino Shige became a Jinchūriki, and that Jiraiya and Orochimaru helped to seal him away.

Should we return the Four-Tails to the Iwagakure ninja?

That would mean losing another Wood Release user.

His prestige will also be damaged.

If they don't return it, Iwagakure will definitely not give up, and the course of the war will be unpredictable.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said solemnly, "Hiruzen, we must be more forceful now. Even if the Four-Tails is to be returned, it will not be now. We must wait until Kabuto dies."

This is the bottom line.

Now, Hoshino is his capable subordinate, and he will be even more so in the future. With the Four-Tails Jinchuriki in his hands, he will have even greater influence in Konoha.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot allow the loss of the already more important Star Show.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "I know."

"You should go there yourself; Onoki will probably reappear on the battlefield."

After he finished speaking, he paused and then said, "After making the arrangements, I will personally go to the Land of Rain."

Danzo's expression changed, and he quickly said, "If the Cloud Ninja take this opportunity to attack..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I will have Torifuku oversee the north. You go to the Land of Rain and have Sakumo return to guard against Kumogakure."

"Besides, I won't be staying in the Land of Rain for long, and neither will Ōnoki, so don't worry!"

Danzo nodded: "Then I'll set off immediately."

Almost later, Onoki of Iwagakure also received intelligence from the front lines.

But for Onoki, this was clearly the worst possible news.

He originally sent out the Four-Tails Jinchuriki to restrain the Wood Release user who might reappear, but he didn't expect that he would be defeated in just the first encounter.

Old Purple is dead, and the Four-Tails is lost.

This is something he finds hard to accept!

"hateful!"

"This time, I'm determined to dismember that brat!"

Onoki gritted his teeth, already regretting not having eliminated the Wood Release user last time.

Without any hesitation or convening of a high-level meeting, Onoki issued the order.

Half an hour later, Onoki, accompanied by two guards, flew out of Iwagakure and headed straight for the battlefield in the Land of Rain.

……

After returning to the rear, Hoshino Hide was immediately summoned by Mitokado Homura.

However, Mitokado Yan looked at Hoshishita Shuu but couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

We can't just kill Hoshinobi Hideaki now and give the Four-Tails back, can we?

He dare not.

rebuke?

It seems unnecessary now; Xingxiaxiu will definitely be the main force on the battlefield next.

With a sigh, Mitokado Homura said, "Oonoki will definitely arrive as soon as possible. Be prepared!"

He knew his own limitations and was no match for the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.
