Entering Konoha, the group noisily made their way to the Hokage Tower. After handing in their mission at the mission hall, Kanpū and Guy headed to the Hokage's Office to report on the situation in Takigakure.
However, Minato interrupted them with a wry smile, "In fact, I received a letter from the leader of Takigakure a few days ago, so I already know the general situation."
"Hokage-sama, Akatsuki's next targets are Hachibi and Kyubi. They could invade the village at any ti. Do you have any plans?" Guy solemnly asked.
"I do have a plan!" Minato nodded slightly, and a cunning smile slowly appeared on his face, "I plan to return Hachibi to Kumogakure!"
'Was he planning to divert the threat, causing the Akatsuki to invade Kumogakure instead?'
Kanpū's eyes lit up, 'Yondai Raikage had been loudly declaring that Akatsuki could never collect all the Biju. Now, having the Akatsuki personally invade Kumogakure to reclaim a Biju would certainly be quite the spectacle!'
"Kanpū, you're a crucial part of my plan."
Minato paused, and then talked about his plan in detail…
…
Early the next morning.
Kanpū kept his word and woke up early to call Karin, then had her wake up Naruto and Sasuke to start their training.
First of all, they each carried a ten-kilogram weight on their backs, then they began running, from morning to noon, from noon to evening. After the sun set, Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin would jump rope, lift weights, practice straight punches, and side kicks, perfectly mimicking Guy's special training. Of course, since everyone was carrying a ten-kilogram weight, the training intensity was even higher than the previous days!
Luckily, Naruto and Sasuke were Children of Destiny, and Karin was a mber of the Uzumaki Clan. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't have been able to endure such deadly training!
After training like this for seven days, on the eighth day, news ca from the border of the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Fire.
Hachibi, who has been missing from Kumogakure for a long ti, had reappeared!
Shisui imdiately rushed to the scene and attempted to control Hachibi with his Sharingan, but was stopped by the tily arrival of the Kumogakure's Shinobi. After a fierce battle, Hachibi's Jinchuriki was eventually reclaid by the Kumogakure's Shinobi!
Hearing the news, Kanpū smiled faintly and continued training Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin.
...
Land of Lightning.
Kumogakure.
Early that morning, Yondai Raikage, A, arrived at his office, anxiously waiting.
Late in the morning, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Co in!" Yondai Raikage stood up abruptly.
The door opened, and C and Samui walked in with Konoha Hachiro between them.
"Wait a minute!" Yondai Raikage's expression changed, "Didn't you say Hachibi has been found?"
C and Samui exchanged glances and both lowered their heads.
"Why are you just standing there in silence?" Yondai Raikage slamd his solid office desk into pieces with a single palm strike, and roared, "Where's Hachibi? Where's B? Where's B?!!!"
"Raikage-sama, Hachibi is inside this person." Samui said with her head bowed.
"Impossible!!!" Yondai Raikage refused to accept it, "Hachibi's Jinchuriki is B, and Hachibi has always been inside B. What nonsense are you talking about!!!"
"Raikage-sama, although we haven't found B-sama's body yet, since Hachibi appears inside this person, it ans B-sama has indeed… gone." C said in a low voice.
"Shut up!!" Yondai Raikage roared continuously, his entire body enveloped in dazzling blue lightning.
Killer B is not only the Hachibi's Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, but also Yondai Raikage's younger brother who grew up with him. And now, they said he had died so inexplicably?
Who had captured him?
Who had cruelly killed him?
Where is his body?
Each question is like a sharp knife fiercely piercing into the heart of Yondai Raikage, so painful that he can't breathe.
At this mont, Hachibi's Jinchuriki, Konoha Hachiro, woke up, "Where is…?"
Boom!
A flash of lightning appeared in the office, and Yondai Raikage instantly appeared in front of Konoha Hachiro and lifted him up: "You! Who are you?!!!"
"I, I…" Konoha Hachiro struggled symbolically before saying, "My na is Mizusawa, I'm from Kirigakure. Let go."
"Mizusawa from Kirigakure?" Yondai Raikage said with a sneer, "C, go check it out!"
"Understood!" C, knowing the Yondai Raikage's temper, dared not slack off and imdiately went out to verify the Shinobi's identity.
"Tell ! Why is Hachibi inside you?!" Yondai Raikage, holding Mizusawa, asked through gritted teeth.
"It was Konoha, Konoha did it!!" Mizusawa said in a panic, "Before the finals of Chunin Exams, I followed Ao-sama into the Land of Fire, and then, during the finals, we attacked Konoha. Then, I was captured, and I don't know what happened after that. When I woke up, Hachibi was already inside ."
"Sure enough, it's Konoha, it's Konoha! They captured B, they killed B, they extracted Hachibi from B's body, it's them, it's Konoha!!!" Yondai Raikage roared in a fit of rage, the lightning around his body surging, making Mizusawa scream in pain.
"I swear on my position as Yondai Raikage, even if it ans starting a war, Konoha will pay for this!!!" Yondai Raikage roared to the sky.
Samui, standing nearby, frowned slightly and said softly, "Raikage-sama, I think this situation a bit strange."
"What did you say?" Yondai Raikage glared at her, "Are you trying to stop …"
"I definitely didn't an that!" Samui quickly knelt on one knee and said hastily, "But this matter is indeed suspicious. If this person nad Mizusawa isn't lying, he should be in Konoha, heavily guarded by the Anbu. How could he appear at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water?"
"I don't care, Konoha must pay the price!" Yondai Raikage said grumpily.
Samui didn't dare et his furious gaze, and lowered her head and said: "Raikage-sama, I an, we can ask Hachibi…"
Yondai Raikage's body trembled, and the lightning around him slowly receded. He stared at Mizukage for a long ti before saying, "Bring the sealing team here!"
Samui sighed in relief, "Yes!"
Half an hour later, all the Anbu's sealing team in Kumogakure arrived.
"I want to speak with Hachibi…" Yondai Raikage commanded with his eyes closed.
Although he seed calm, everyone present knew his temper. The calr he appeared, the angrier he was.
The sealing team quickly pinned Mizusawa to the ground and began their examination.
"It's Uzumaki Clan's Fuinjutsu."
"What a powerful seal. This must have been done by Namikaze Minato or his wife!"
"Unlocking it will take so ti!"
Listening to the sealing team's discussion, veins burst out of Yondai Raikage's forehead, but he tried his best to endure it. Finally, after more than an hour, the seal was undone.
A strong Chakra suddenly surged from Mizusawa's body, forming a giant octopus figure that touched the ceiling.
"Gyuki!!!" Yondai Raikage stood up abruptly.
"A…" Hachibi sighed as it looked at Yondai Raikage, and then at its current Jinchuriki.
"Gyuki, who captured you and killed B? Was it Konoha? It's Konoha, right?!" Yondai Raikage demanded.
Hachibi slowly shook its head, "No, the one who captured B was a man with an orange swirl mask. He called himself... Uchiha Madara."
"What?!" Yondai Raikage's eyes widened in shock.
The sealing team and Samui also showed a terrified look.
'Uchiha Madara?!'
