The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 270 Disguise

"The detainee?" Sarutobi Seishu was somewhat curious about this term.

Zenku said unhurriedly, "What you call a Jinchūriki here is called a 'prisoner' in my hometown."

Shi Zhou asked, "Does Master Chan Kong's hometown also have tailed beasts?"

As an editor, Zen Kong naturally spoke fluently without hesitation:

"They are not tailed beasts, but powerful magical beasts that bring disaster."

"You people actually seal these demons inside children's bodies; it's more of a curse than a blessing."

Shi Zhou kept walking and tentatively asked, "Didn't the master seal away such magical beasts from a young age?"

Zenkong denied it, saying, "Only a sufficiently powerful individual can seal and utilize the power of these magical beasts."

"Furthermore, only those with mature minds will not be influenced by Warcraft."

Ishizuku slowed down; they were almost catching up with Gaara and the others.

However, he also knew that Qianyao was not far away, and he had not yet communicated with Chankong, so the location was not suitable.

As rookies, Sasuke and the others left traces of their actions along the way.

Shi Zhou wasn't afraid of losing track of them.

He had roughly figured out Chan Kong's personality, and followed Chan Kong's words:

"Yes, nowadays many villages seal the tailed beasts into children's bodies."

"Just like our mission target this time, he couldn't control the tailed beasts, which led to the tragic deaths of many innocent people."

Zen Master Kong chanted the Buddha's name: "In that case, we should let the child escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible."

Stone Boat Exchange:

"Has Master Chankong obtained all the intelligence about this target?"

Zen Kong nodded slightly: "I already know about Uchiha Chiyo's information. Our organization will cooperate to lure him away."

"All you need to do, benefactor, is to intercept the person with us."

Shi Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the Akatsuki organization would lead the people away:

"How long will it take Master Chankong to complete the extraction of the Tailed Beasts?"

"In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea."

Sarutobi Sekishu was not quite used to the unit of time, half a cup of tea.

After a moment's thought, he confirmed, "Master Chankong meant several minutes?"

"Exactly."

At this point, they were not moving very fast, and were advancing slowly.

Shi Zhou was a little anxious, but Chan Kong was not anxious at all.

Because outside here, apart from the stone boat in front of us, there are no outsiders.

Everyone else is his man.

He wasn't concerned with success or failure, but rather with whether he acted well.

……

The two had been tracking Gaara and the others all day.

They had already communicated and determined that Guifeng, with its treacherous terrain, was the most suitable location to launch their attack.

The Akatsuki members are also lying in ambush nearby, and they will send Sasuke and the others there first.

Then they intercepted Chiyo behind them, while Sarutobi Sekishu's group went around to the front of Kei-beng to intercept Gaara and the others.

Chan Kong didn't mind spending more time with Shi Zhou, after all, he needed to establish his persona and reveal some things to Shi Zhou.

From Shi Zhou's perspective, he had already figured out what kind of person Master Chan Kong was along the way.

He was an honest, taciturn, and very cultured old monk.

The key issue is Zenku's attitude towards Jinchūriki.

First, Zenku believed that the person who imprisoned the tailed beasts must be an adult, because only an adult mind can control the tailed beasts.

Furthermore, one cannot use Jinchūriki in war, as that would escalate the intensity of the conflict.

It feels like the patch that was applied after Hashirama Senju distributed the tailed beasts back then.

It's all about maintaining that fragile and ridiculous peace.

But Shi Zhou could always sense Zen Kong's unwavering belief from his calm tone.

And throughout the journey, Zen Kong only took a sip of water from his water bag.

Shizhou has already replenished his rations twice.

It's now night, and Sasuke's side has already set up camp.

Shi Zhou and Chan Kong also planned to rest for one night and then take action once they arrived at Guifeng the next day.

Zen Kong simply picked up a random rock and sat down cross-legged.

As trackers, they naturally couldn't light a campfire or pitch a tent.

Shi Zhou also took out some military rations and ate them to replenish his strength.

After a whole day, it was the first time he had ever seen Zen Kong eat.

Zenkong took out a very dry and hard coarse grain cake from his body.

It's only about the size of a palm, and its appearance is so rough that it looks like it would strain your throat.

Shi Zhou offered Chan Kong some military provisions, but Chan Kong refused.

“Monks do not eat such refined food.”

Sarutobi Seishu's heart skipped a beat. No wonder Zenku's clothes were so tattered; he was actually an ascetic monk.

Most monks in the ninja world are not ascetic monks, but the doctrines of ascetic monks are quite famous.

These people practice a simple yet noble way of life through a simple lifestyle and high self-discipline.

In general, ascetics are people who discipline themselves to pursue spiritual awakening and transcendence.

These monks would reject all pleasures, abstain from women, and not enjoy gourmet food.

They don't even eat processed foods.

Such people only do what they believe is right, and their will is extremely firm, unaffected by anything external.

Thinking about this, Sarutobi Sekishu wondered if he could cooperate with Zenku on the matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

However, the prerequisite is that Zenku can perfectly resolve the issue of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki this time.

……

The next day.

Halfway up Guifeng Mountain, Jiaodu leaned against the mountain wall, patiently waiting.

He felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, this enemy is not like the ones before.

Uchiha Chiyo's fighting prowess needs no further explanation.

But since the potential profits are so high, taking some risks is worthwhile.

As a seasoned bounty hunter, Kakuzu was very precise with his timing.

Not long after, a small team of three people escorted a person from the foot of the mountain.

Kakuzu used Earth Release to burrow into the rock wall, watching Sasuke's team pass by.

But the person being protected seemed to glance at him.

Is it just my imagination?

Hidden Kakuzu put this idea out of his mind.

They knew the organization's plan, and he had to hold off Uchiha Chiyo for several minutes.

A moment later, a figure that had been hanging far behind walked up.

But he stopped fifty meters away from Kakuzu.

"Oh? Who's here?" Qianyao asked calmly.

Although Kakuzu knew that he probably couldn't hide it from Chiyo, the fact that he was discovered from so far away still startled him.

Kakuzu calmed himself down and emerged from the rock wall.

"Clan Chief Qianyao is truly astute."

Kakuzu began to exchange pleasantries.

Qianyao looked Kakuzu up and down; he really couldn't tell from his appearance that he was over eighty years old.

"You're Kakuzu, right? What are you doing here?"

Kakuzu chuckled and said, "This time I came specifically for Chief Qianyao."

Qian Yao narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"

Kakuzu was on edge, but he didn't show it on his face.

“Gaara is, after all, a Jinchūriki. If the Tailed Beast were to remain in the Uchiha clan for an extended period, and were to go berserk, it would inevitably cause some damage to the clan…”

Just as Kakuzu finished speaking, Gaara's scream suddenly came from afar, followed by a massive burst of tailed beast chakra.

Qian Yao's eyes flashed fiercely: "You dare to scheme against my Uchiha clan? Your Akatsuki organization is courting death!"
