Chapter 88 The Conspiracy of the Generation
Chapter 88 The Conspiracy of the Generation
"So, has the news leaked out yet?"
Inside the Sand Village camp, in a heavily guarded room, Chiyo looked at Rasa.
Rasa nodded: "Konoha should have received the news."
Chiyo said with some concern, "Make sure all traces are cleaned up. We absolutely cannot be implicated in this, otherwise the Kazekage will definitely punish us."
Rasa smiled confidently and replied, "Don't worry, Sakai Takatoku was captured under my arrangement. With Konoha's methods, we can obtain information from Takatoku."
At this point, Luo Sha said with some pride, "Hehe, Sakai Takatoku is Kazekage's protégé. What does his leaking information have to do with us? If we're going to punish someone, we should punish Kazekage himself first."
Chiyo nodded in satisfaction: "That's good! These days, Master Yekura and his apprentice have been making a name for themselves in the war and have gained great prestige. The Kazekage is also relying on them more and more, which has harmed our interests. This time, we must get rid of Chisuke!"
Rasa thought of something and asked, "If Konoha receives the news, they will definitely kill Sensuke. But if Sensuke dies, what will happen to the One-Tail? We still need the One-Tail's power."
Chiyo chuckled softly, indicating that it was no problem.
"Hehe, don't worry. After the Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast will also die, but we just need to wait for a while. The One-Tailed Beast's chakra will regenerate in the desert following its instincts, and then we can capture it."
After saying this, Chiyo took out a scroll and handed it to Rasa.
"This is all the research data on Magnet Release. Go back and study it carefully. If you have Magnet Release skills like the Kazekage, the obstacles will be greatly reduced when you inherit the Kazekage title in the future."
Rasa was thrilled to receive the scroll, because it meant that the faction represented by Chiyo would fully support him in becoming the Kazekage.
At the Konoha camp, the Third Hokage looked at the intelligence report in his hand with an unusually serious expression.
"According to the intelligence obtained by the analysis team, the Sand Village will send the One-Tailed Jinchuriki to cause sabotage in our rear. What do you think of this?"
Mitokado Homura thought for a moment and said, "Now the war has entered its most critical moment. There can be no turmoil in the rear. We must send our elites to hunt down the One-Tailed Jinchuriki!"
Nara Shikaku expressed a different opinion.
"This could also be a false message from the Sand Village, intended to distract our forces and then launch a surprise attack. We need to take this into account."
Orochimaru looked around and laughed: "We'll launch the attack tonight. If the Sand Village doesn't send any Jinchuriki, it basically means the intelligence is accurate. We'll immediately send people back to intercept them and eliminate the Sand Village's Jinchuriki!"
After discussing it, the group decided that although Orochimaru's plan would cause many casualties, it was the most efficient and effective, so they agreed to it.
At this moment, at the foot of Mount Elephant Head, Aburame Shiki, a ruthless individual who dared to act alone in the war and possessed immense strength, showed no intention of backing down even when facing a Jinchūriki.
Instead of being nervous, he remained calm and secretly launched an attack.
Beneath the ground, swarms of insects continued to move forward, surrounding Chisuke.
"Secret Technique: Insect Tornado!"
Countless parasitic insects burst from the ground, forming a massive tornado that enveloped Chisuke and began to gnaw at his body.
"Shukaku! Use your ultimate attack! I was wondering why I felt like someone was following me, but I couldn't see anything unusual. It turns out it's a ninja from the Aburame clan. Their insects are really troublesome."
The moment he was attacked, Chisuke entered Tailed Beast Mode. Shukaku appeared and roared, slapping away the parasitic insects.
"Kid, stay inside me this time and don't show your face. I'm going to have some fun this time, so don't drag me down again!!"
Shukaku emerged and immediately began to complain. Clearly, Shukaku was very dissatisfied with the fact that Sensuke had been sealed away by Orochimaru, which had prevented Shukaku from emerging for a long time.
"Oh dear, Shukaku rejected me! I'm the one who's a kid, it's not my fault I can't beat Orochimaru!"
Chisuke retorted softly, lacking confidence, but still obediently fell into Shukaku's body.
After all, the power of the tailed beasts is immense, but Chisuke, being such a burden, always drags Shukaku down, which makes Chisuke feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Yes, the enemy is very cautious! You guys quickly spread the word that there are spirits here, Elephant Head Mountain can't hold out, organize the retreat, I'll do my best to buy time."
Seeing that Shiki Aburame had no intention of retreating, Ogawa Tomohiro considered staying, but he was truly powerless against the Tailed Beasts, and staying would only become a burden to Shiki Aburame.
Take care!
Filled with self-reproach and guilt, Ogawa Tomohiro bid farewell to Aburame Shii and left with his men.
"None of you are leaving! Tailed Beast Ball!"
Shukaku was very excited to appear this time and wanted to cause a lot of destruction. He directly condensed a Tailed Beast Ball, preparing to eliminate the troublesome guy in front of him in one fell swoop.
"Damn it. This level of chakra concentration is simply impossible to resist!"
"How did this guy manage to cross over to the front lines?!"
The retreating Konoha ninjas heard the commotion behind them, turned around, and saw the Tailed Beast Ball about to take shape. They were terrified and at a loss, having no way to deal with it!
"Don't even think about succeeding, you giant insect, you worm-eaten beast!"
Aburame Shiki formed hand seals and activated the insects that had invaded Shukaku's body.
These insects absorbed Shukaku's chakra and quickly swelled to the size of a house. They emerged from Shukaku's neck and abdomen, creating two large holes from which countless grains of sand fell.
Boom!
Because of the attack on his neck, Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball missed its mark, grazing over the heads of the Konoha ninjas and flying behind them, hitting the mountainside of Elephant Head Mountain.
The mountain collapsed rapidly, creating a huge gap, and countless stones fell, forming a rocky wasteland.
"Hey, Shukaku, you're too weak. Your body is so flimsy that even a bug can easily pierce through you. You're disturbing my rest!"
Chisuke poked his head out from the large hole in Shukaku's neck and began to complain.
This time, he really intended to rest inside Shukaku's body, letting Shukaku do as it pleased outside.
After all, this is the Land of Fire, and there are no Sand Ninja around, so Shukaku can do whatever he wants without any problems. Sensuke even plans to take a nap inside Shukaku's body.
Unexpectedly, the insect burrowed into Shukaku's body. Although it did not attack Chisuke, it still disturbed Chisuke's rest.
Upon hearing Chisuke's words, Shukaku immediately became displeased!
"If you weren't so weak, limiting my power, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state. You stay put and don't bother me!"
As he spoke, Shukaku opened its two claws and suddenly grabbed out the worm inside its body, bursting it open.
"Secret Technique: Insect Cloud!"
Countless insects flew out from Shiki Aburame's body, forming a dense black cloud that directly covered Shukaku's body.
Of course, insects can hardly harm Shukaku. Shiki Aburame did this to obscure Shukaku's vision and buy her companions time to escape.
