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

Chapter 275 The Value of Zen Emptiness

Rain-Hidden Village.

Kakuzu's office.

This place has become a semi-public reception room for the Akatsuki organization.

Many factions now know that the Akatsuki organization is based in Amegakure.

Despite losing three hearts, Kakuzu still felt great after earning 3 billion from his trip.

He sent a message to the Sand Village.

The Sand Village has already sent people to retrieve the teacup and the Shukaku sealed inside.

Although Shukaku is a weakling in other places.

However, in the desert home field, its endurance is still very strong when it is fully transformed into a tailed beast.

The key point is that the Third Hokage wanted to weaken the Uchiha clan's strength, and that's why he spent so much money.

Sunagakure naturally wholeheartedly agreed.

"We need to spread the word about this victory so that more forces will come to us to deal with the Tailed Beasts."

Although Kakuzu, as a veteran member of Akatsuki, knew that the organization's future goal was to capture Jinchuriki and extract Tailed Beasts.

However, since the leader now wants to make money by suppressing Jinchūriki, Kakuzu naturally won't object.

Anyway, this kind of work pays much more than catching tailed beasts, so why not do it?

He had just spoken with Master Chankong and discovered that Master Chankong didn't want a single penny; he gave him the entire portion.

This isn't some Zen Master, this is my father.

Therefore, Kakuzu held Zenku in exceptional respect.

As for Zen emptiness being simple and ideals being naive, it doesn't matter.

The key is that Zenkyo can capture tailed beasts, extract tailed beasts, and make money!

"Master Zenkū, do you think we need to discuss the sealing matter with Sunagakure?"

Jiao Du fawned over Zen Kong like an old servant.

Zen Kong looked calm as he took out a teacup and said, "I have already examined this monster's violent nature."

"Only people with strong wills are needed to be detainees."

"They must be adults, and those with a certain level of ability."

Through previous communications, Kakuzu already had a general idea of ​​what kind of person Zenku was.

At this moment, he patted his chest and told Chan Kong, "Master Chan Kong, don't worry, I will convey your opinion."

Zen Kong slowly shook his head: "It's not an opinion, it's a request."

“If it is still a child being held captive, I will remove them again.”

Kakuzu didn't care whether it would succeed or not; that was a matter for later. All he needed to do was relay the message.

"Master Chankong, don't worry, I will pass on the message."

Zenku bowed to Kakuzu: "I'm so sorry to trouble you, Benefactor Kakuzu."

Kakuzu was as kind as a believer: "Master Zenku, there's no need to be so polite."

"That Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... is the one that Zenku saw imprisoning during this mission."

"What preparations are needed if changes are required?"

Zenkong said in a serious tone, "That magical beast called Nine-Tailed Fox is extremely powerful."

"Besides needing an adult with a strong will, it is also necessary to outline the seal beforehand."

"That will make it easier to transfer the monsters."

Kakuzu wrote all of this down, since it was all stuff he would need to negotiate with the Third Hokage of Konoha later.

"Now that this matter is settled, I'll be leaving."

"Take care, Master." Jiao didn't ask where Chan Kong was going, as long as Xiao Nan could contact him.

……

Konoha Village.

The Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Sekishu returned and told the Third Hokage the details of the battle.

It also emphasizes the personality of Master Chankong.

"Shukaku is completely powerless to resist?"

Sarutobi Seishu confirmed, "This Zen Master's 'Canaan Seal' seems to be specifically designed to deal with tailed beasts."

"This is the same sealing technique we used when we sealed the Five-Tails Jinchuriki."

"The tailed beasts are basically powerless to resist."

"In his presence, tailed beasts are no different from ordinary wild beasts outside."

"Hmm..." The Third Hokage slowly paced back and forth.

The sudden appearance of Zen Master Kong had already made him a target of interest for major forces in the ninja world.

Now that they've made their second move, the Akatsuki will likely spread the information.

Will the priority of war be lowered because of Zenku-boshi alone?

Although Zen Kong clearly stated that the "detainees" needed to be changed.

However, they haven't discussed the specifics with Konoha yet.

Akatsuki's actions have demonstrated their strength, and they are now a very important organization in the ninja world.

"It seems we need to talk to the Akatsuki."

After thinking it over for a moment, the Third Hokage naturally wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by.

Shi Zhou asked, "Are you going in person?"

The Third Hokage shook his head: "Jiraiya will go."

It was inconvenient for him to leave Konoha Village, and Jiraiya, after all, was Konan's teacher, so he was somewhat easier to talk to.

If Gaara is alright this time, then convincing Jiraiya will be a very simple matter.

……

Uchiha Hospital.

"Drip... drip..."

Hearing the beeping sound in his ears, Gaara slowly opened his eyes.

"What am I doing..."

"Where..."

Kabuto poked his head over: "Gaara, you're awake."

"Brother Dou, how...how did I get here?"

Gaara and Kabuto were old acquaintances, so they naturally knew this was a hospital.

"I remember I was doing a mission with Naruto and Sasuke."

Kabuto nodded: "Your tailed beast has been extracted, and Lord Senyou has taken you back to your clan."

"The Tailed Beast has been extracted!?"

Gaara was dumbfounded. He suddenly lifted his shirt, revealing what appeared to be a seal mark on his stomach.

But now it's completely gone.

He could no longer sense Shukaku's presence at all.

"Great!"

"Great!"

Gaara wept with joy, for Shukaku, who had caused his tragic childhood, was finally no longer bothering him.

He was finally an independent person, no longer a caged creature.

Tears of joy are relatively easy to control.

He quickly wiped away his tears:

"Brother Kabuto, wouldn't extracting a tailed beast mean death? Why didn't I die?"

Kabuto wanted to pat Gaara on the shoulder, but the sand automatically rose up to protect Gaara.

He blocked his hand from the outside of his pocket.

Gaara was stunned to see that Sa was protecting him.

Lord Chiyo is telling the truth. Sand is my mother protecting me, and it has nothing to do with Shukaku.

It doesn't matter if my hands are blocked, as long as the gesture is there.

"Lord Qianyao gave you his life force, which is why you survived."

Gaara was startled!

"Where is Lord Qianyao?"

"You were looking for me?" Chiyo's voice came from behind Gaara.

Gaara turned around in surprise, only to be astonished to find that Chiyo's hair had turned mostly white.

Kabuto chimed in from the side, "Lord Qianyao has lost too much of his life force, which is why his hair has turned white."

Gaara's eyes immediately turned red.

"Lord Qian Yao."

Gaara lunged at Chiyo.

Chiyo slapped away the sand and then caught Gaara.

After Gaara's sand failed to stop, it stopped moving.

"I'm sorry, Lord Qianyao, you actually expended so much of your life force to save me."

Chiyo gently patted Gaara's back.

"Okay, I promised you before that I would let you stay here."

“You have to keep your promise. Now you’re not a Jinchuriki anymore, you’re one of my Uchiha.”

Gaara nodded fiercely, then hugged Chiyo and sobbed.
