Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 348 Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Maple

"But if we agree to form an alliance and transfer the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from Takigakure to our village, wouldn't that also draw the Akatsuki's firepower?"

Tsunade asked, frowning.

"Moreover, judging from the current situation, Takigakure's alliance with us at this time, and their offer to send over the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, is clearly an attempt to divert Akatsuki's attention."

Jiraiya admitted it.

"I know, but the problem is, if we refuse their request, will the Akatsuki ignore Konoha?"

Impossible. Judging from what has happened so far, it is certain that their goal is to collect all the tailed beasts, so the Nine-Tails inside Naruto will naturally become their target as well.

We cannot avoid the Akatsuki's attack.

Therefore, I don't think there's anything wrong with accepting Takigakure's request for an alliance.

Tsunade also thought about it carefully for a while.

"I understand. In that case, let's accept Takigakure's request for an alliance."

"Alright, then reply. Discuss the alliance time with Takigakure and confirm the time when the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki will come to Konoha. I will personally go to pick him up then."

"Do you need to personally take action?"

"Of course, while ensuring the safety of the Jinchūriki, we must also let Takigakure see Konoha's attitude."

As he spoke, Jiraiya added a sentence.

"However, it's best to make it clear to them that the transfer of the Jinchuriki must be carried out in secret, so as to avoid being intercepted and killed by the Akatsuki members along the way."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Konoha's reply was quickly delivered to Takigakure.

The leaders of Takigakure Village breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the reply.

Although sending a Jinchuriki to Konoha feels like abandoning them, the sheer terror of the Akatsuki is undeniable.

They also have to consider the village's situation.

In Takigakure, Kakuzu found Kaede, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, sitting on a branch of a large tree, playing with a child.

When the children saw Kakuzu arrive, they immediately scattered and ran away.

"Hey, where are you going? Don't run away!"

Feng looked at the children running away and waved in confusion, calling them back.

But the children kept running further and further away.

"maple."

"leader!"

Upon hearing Kakuzu's voice, Kaede immediately jumped down from the tree.

"Oh, it's you, Chief. I was wondering why they ran away."

I said, "Chief, it's not good for you to always wear a mask and have a stern face like that. The children will be afraid of you."

"It's okay, it's good that you're afraid of me, this way I can have some peace and quiet."

Then, Kakuzu changed the subject.

"Feng, you should know about the decision regarding the village, right?"

"Yes, they've already told me."

"I'm sorry, Feng, this is all for the village."

Feng waved his hand dismissively and laughed.

"It's alright. I know the village's difficulties and the dangers of the Akatsuki."

As ninjas of the village, it is our duty to think about the safety of the village.

Besides, I'd like to visit Konoha. After all, it's one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and I've never been there before. Maybe I can make some friends there.”

Feng, on the other hand, took it all in stride. After learning that he was going to Konoha, he didn't feel like he was being abandoned by the village.

Instead, he was filled with curiosity about Konoha.

“That’s great that you think that way. However, I still have to apologize to you. It’s my incompetence as the leader. If I could develop the village into a stronger one, strong enough that we don’t have to be afraid of the Akatsuki, then you wouldn’t have to leave the village.”

"Don't say that, Chief, you've already done a great job."

Since you returned to the village, Chief, Takigakure has undergone a complete transformation. Everyone's lives are so much better than before.

As the village's guardian spirit, Feng truly felt the changes in the village firsthand.

The village wasn't well-off before, and everyone's life was pretty ordinary. The whole village was lifeless, and it seemed like there was no hope or future in sight.

Many people inexplicably blamed themselves for all of this, being an outcast.

However, now that everyone's living conditions have improved and they are full of hope for the future, their attitude towards being an outcast has also improved a lot.

"Sister Feng, we're going to play by the river. Do you want to come with us?"

The children in the distance waved and called out to Kaede, but because of Kakuzu's presence, they only dared to wave and shout from afar and did not dare to approach.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."

Feng responded with a sound of agreement, then smiled.

"Excuse me, Chief, I must take my leave. They're going to play by the river, and it's quite dangerous without anyone watching them. I have to go and keep an eye on them."

Kakuzu nodded.

"Go, spend more time with everyone, after all, you'll be leaving in a few days."

“You’re right, then I’ll return to the chief.”

Kakuzu watched as Kaede ran towards the direction where the children were and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Feng. If I have the chance in the future, I'll ask the boss to find a way to revive you."

Perhaps because he had spent so much time in the village, Kakuzu rediscovered a sense of belonging to his former hometown. He found that, besides money, he seemed to have something else he cared about: the village.

He loved everything about the village. Perhaps the people of Takigakure Village weren't the best, but this was his hometown, his village.

However, all of this still had to give way to the boss's plan.

Five days passed quickly, and Feng secretly traveled to the Land of Fire with only a few ninjas from Takigakure.

To maintain secrecy, apart from a few high-ranking members, no one else in Takigakure knew the exact time Kaede left.

However, this news was not a secret to the Akatsuki organization.

At the Akatsuki base, Zetsu and Obito, along with Kabuto Yakushi who had changed into Akatsuki robes, found Nagato.

"Chief, I have important intelligence to report."

Nagato glanced at the three who had arrived, his gaze lingering on Kabuto Yakushi for a moment before turning to Zetsu and asking.

"What important intelligence?"

"After the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was successfully captured, Takigakure, which possessed the Seven-Tails, formed an alliance with Konoha. Takigakure planned to send the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha for protection."

"Takigakure is going to send the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha? Hmph!"

Nagato snorted coldly.

"It's all in vain. Do they really think Konoha can protect the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"I think this is a good opportunity to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki."

Obito spoke up.

"They thought their plan to secretly transfer the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki was unknown to anyone, but Zetsu had already obtained the exact whereabouts of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki."

Leader, we can take this opportunity to capture the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and make the outside world believe that Konoha is related to us.

Then we can take this opportunity to disrupt the entire ninja world and plunge it into chaos.

The more chaotic the world becomes, the more advantageous it is for us.
