RNP Chapter 222 Jinchūriki
Chapter 222 Jinchūriki
Then, Fei's attention was drawn to a strange noise beside him. He turned around and saw Deidara's hands clenched into fists.
Deidara's knuckles had lost their color from excessive force, turning an abnormally pale white. As he clenched his fist, the bones pressed against each other, making a "crackling" sound.
Deidara's anger could no longer be contained. His eyes bulged so wide they almost popped out of their sockets as he yelled at Tobi, "You bastard! You dare say that again?! My patience has reached its limit, it's about to explode, huh!"
Tobi quickly raised his hands, making a soothing gesture to calm Deidara down: "Don't be like that, don't be like that! The 'Endurance Bag' exists to help you stay calm, Deidara-senpai. Shouldn't yours be called an 'Explosion Bag' instead? Because it always looks like it's about to explode at any moment..."
Deidara's anger did not subside; on the contrary, it intensified because of Tobi's teasing. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and replied, "Is that so!? You bastard Tobi!"
"Then I'll let you, you bastard, experience the way you said I'd die in the future!"
Immediately afterwards, many spiders formed from explosive clay suddenly appeared around Afei, and these exploding spiders quickly surrounded him, forming an encirclement.
Dida stretched out his fingers and stood them in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"drink!!!"
......
After Boruto burned the envelope from Orochimaru to ashes, he noticed Jiraiya walking towards him.
Jiraiya's gaze fell on the communication frog on Boruto's shoulder, and he asked, "Boruto, what information did you get?"
Boruto nodded in response, saying, "According to Orochimaru's report, the Three-Tails Isobu has also been captured by the Akatsuki, and Itachi Uchiha, whose Four-Tails was the Akatsuki's target, has probably also been captured."
“However, the Nine-Tails must be the last one to be sealed, that’s a given fact,” Boruto continued calmly. “Otherwise, the chakra contained in the Nine-Tails would cause the balance of the chakra of the other sealed tailed beasts to begin to collapse, and the sealing statue that the Akatsuki called the ‘Gedo Mazo’ would be shattered.”
Upon hearing Boruto's words, Jiraiya frowned and his expression turned serious. Most of the nine tailed beasts had already been captured by the Akatsuki, leaving only the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails still in their hands.
Jiraiya fell into deep thought, his fingers gently stroking his chin, his brows furrowed, trying to figure out the Akatsuki's true purpose in collecting the Tailed Beasts.
He muttered to himself, "It's truly baffling. What exactly is their purpose in collecting the Tailed Beasts? Even if they want to destroy the ninja world, such behavior is far too extreme."
As Jiraiya thought this, his gaze drifted into the distance: What are you all thinking... Yahiko, Nagato, Konan... what happened to make you all look like this...?
After a brief reverie, Jiraiya gradually brought his thoughts back to reality. He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and calmed his expression.
Then, he turned to Boruto with a slight smile and said, "However, I do have some good news."
"After such a long and relentless pursuit, my intelligence network has finally located the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki," Jiraiya continued. "It is said that he can now perfectly transform into a tailed beast with the Eight-Tails."
Jiraiya continued, "When the time comes, you take Naruto and go to Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning before the Akatsuki finds the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
After explaining all the details, Jiraiya gently patted Boruto on the shoulder to ease the atmosphere.
He adopted a more relaxed tone, with a lecherous glint in his eyes, and said, "Alright, don't be so tense. How about you accompany your master to a beautiful place with towering mountains?"
Boruto naturally declined Jiraiya's invitation, knowing without a doubt what place Jiraiya was referring to.
......
Several miles away from Konoha Village, Deidara and Tobi steadily made their way towards the village along a winding path.
Afei followed Deidara lazily behind him, his steps somewhat sluggish, not in a hurry to get going. As he walked, he said lazily, "Senior Deidara~ The boss is waiting for our contact."
"After we finish the capture here, we will immediately begin sealing the Three-Tails and Four-Tails. I really don't want to get involved in this kind of troublesome matter."
Deidara replied dismissively, "They're not like Sasori, so it's fine to make them wait a little while."
Then he continued, "Anyway, we'll be busy for a while once the sealing begins, so a little extra time won't make a difference."
Tobi said to Deidara in a lazy tone, "But I'm so tired from walking~ Deidara-senpai~ Could you use your ultimate art to sculpt a giant bird for me to ride? I'm not picky about anything, not even a Kunpeng, just sculpting a Garuda would be enough for me~"
Deidara couldn't help but chop Tobi's head with his hand to express his dissatisfaction. He shouted, "Idiot, isn't this just like blatantly revealing your location? Besides, my art is for creating explosions, not for your mount!"
Tobi, clutching his head where he'd been struck by a chop, complained, "Deidara-senpai is so mean, he can't even grant me this small request!"
Deidara withdrew his hand, his expression shifting from displeasure to confusion. He then said, "Speaking of which, why are there so many toads in the forest outside Konoha? I've seen several myself."
Without batting an eye, Afei activated his Sharingan, his gaze sweeping into the distance where he noticed a toad hiding under a tree.
After careful observation, Afei realized that the toad was not a physical object, but rather a condensation of chakra, clearly a ninjutsu created by someone.
Although these "toads" were lifelike, he could easily distinguish them with his Sharingan because they lacked a true sense of life.
Afei raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face beneath the mask. From the very beginning, their whereabouts had been completely exposed.
Just as Afei was about to say something, Deidara suddenly stopped. He quickly put a finger to his lips and gestured for Afei to be quiet.
Immediately afterwards, a grasshopper made of clay hopped from a distance and landed directly in Deidara's palm. Deidara's fingers twitched slightly, and the clay mouth on his palm suddenly opened, sticking out its tongue to roll the grasshopper into its mouth and begin to chew.
A moment later, after Deidara completely disintegrated the grasshopper he used for sensing, a confident smile appeared on his lips. He muttered to himself, "Finally found him. It must be him, right? That blond guy..."
Afei was somewhat confused. He scratched the back of his head and whispered to Deidara, "Deidara-senpai, who are you talking about...?"
Deidara did not directly answer Tobi's question, but chose to remain silent. After getting up, he walked straight ahead. Seeing this, Tobi could only follow Deidara's footsteps and move forward together.
However, while traveling with Deidara, Tobi secretly used his Sharingan to disrupt the chakra of all the "toads" nearby without Deidara noticing, to ensure that their whereabouts would not be exposed again.
"Hehe..." After doing all this, Afei chuckled with satisfaction and then quickly followed behind Deidara.
