With a casual flick of his wrist, Uchiha Sasuke used the Thunder God Sword to deflect six shuriken.
"The Sharingan with three tomoe?"
Bai Lang immediately noticed his three-tomoe Sharingan after being reminded by him.
He was completely stunned.
This is unbelievable!
Sasuke Uchiha raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this was a good opportunity.
Genjutsu·Shiranui!
His three-tomoe Sharingan trembled, immediately dragging Bai Lang into the genjutsu.
Body Flicker Technique!
Uchiha Sasuke accelerated and arrived in front of him, then lightning spread outwards from his entire body.
"Ahhh!"
Bai Lang screamed in agony as he was electrocuted.
"Too weak."
With a graceful turn of his sword, Sasuke Uchiha sheathed the Thunder God Sword.
"Sasuke!"
Naruto and Karin arrived, but the battle was already over.
If a Jonin is hit by Lightning Release: Chidori Stream, he is basically unable to get up again.
After all, it's an A-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu.
"With Sasuke and Naruto's strength, ordinary Jonin no longer serve as training for them."
Tsunade, who had watched the whole thing, shook her head and said.
"There's nothing we can do; their strength has improved too quickly."
Kitazawa chuckled and said.
"Are you really not considering letting them graduate early?"
Tsunade glanced at him and asked.
"They're practically graduating early now."
Kitazawa casually remarked, "We can choose more difficult tasks for them later."
"Too."
Tsunade nodded and said.
"Teacher Kitazawa."
Karin walked up to them.
Behind her were Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki carrying the white waves.
Led by Kitazawa, the group headed towards the nearby Tsuchigumo clan.
"I never imagined that the Earth Spider clan would become like this."
Upon arriving at the Tsuchigumo clan's stronghold on Mount Katsuragi, Tsunade looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
Because the buildings have been uninhabited for a long time, they are covered with a layer of dust and look very damaged.
Who are you?
A girl appeared in front of them.
She has long, curly brown hair and green eyes, making her look quite unique.
Behind her followed an old man who watched Kitazawa and Tsunade warily.
"We are ninjas from Konoha Village."
Kitazawa spoke up, saying, "We wish to see the chieftain of the Tsuchigumo clan."
"Konoha Village?"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she said, "I've heard Grandpa mention you!"
"How can you prove you are ninjas from Konoha Village?"
The old man behind the girl asked in a deep voice.
"Proof?"
Kitazawa stretched out his hand, and a tree rose up from the ground in front of him.
"Wood Release?"
The old man's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously asked, "Are you Bei Ze?"
"I am Kitazawa."
Kitazawa said with a smile.
"I feel like Wood Release is more famous than I am as Hokage."
Seeing this, Tsunade couldn't help but joke.
"Are you the Fifth Hokage?"
The old man was once again startled upon hearing this.
"good."
Tsunade raised her head, looked at the distance, and said, "We mean no harm. Please come out and meet us."
"Lord Hokage, it is an honor to have you here. I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly."
An old man stepped forward; he was none other than the chieftain of the Earth Spider clan, Yi Zhi Xing Zhe.
"grandfather!"
The girl shouted instinctively.
"Lord Hokage, this is my granddaughter, Hotaru."
"This is what the traveler explained."
"Ah."
Tsunade nodded and said, "I have brought you a gift."
Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki carried Shiranai forward.
"Bai Lang?"
A look of surprise appeared on the face of the traveler.
“He is a traitor to your Earth Spider clan, so he is handed over to you to deal with.”
Tsunade waved her hand and said.
"Thank you, Hokage!"
The traveler bowed slightly and said.
"Small things."
Tsunade paused for a moment and said, "I came here to talk to you about something. I hope you can move to Konoha Village."
"what?"
The group, including the En no Gyōzō, were completely caught off guard by Tsunade's intentions and stood frozen in place.
"Our Konoha Village and your Tsuchigumo clan signed an alliance during the Third Shinobi World War."
Tsunade said calmly, "If you move to Konoha, you can better protect the forbidden technique, Rage of Heaven."
The traveler instinctively wanted to refuse, but then suddenly stopped.
He glanced at Ying and fell into thought.
The Earth Spider Clan is indeed no longer capable of protecting the forbidden technique, Wrath of Heaven.
The reason they didn't try to catch Bai Lang was because they didn't have the capability.
Most importantly, Hotaru has no future if she stays with the Tsuchigumo clan.
Besides that, there was Tsunade's invitation.
As the Fifth Hokage, her invitation carried significant weight; the Tsuchigumo clan, having joined Konoha, would certainly receive good treatment.
"Let's discuss it."
The traveler called Hotaru and her attendant, Dunbei, aside.
Before long, they made up their minds and accepted Tsunade's invitation.
However, they made one condition: they were only staying temporarily and would not directly join Konoha Village.
Chapter 384 The Reaper Death Seal, and the Deal with Orochimaru
Tsunade was very magnanimous upon hearing this and didn't say anything.
In her view, this condition was meaningless.
After all, only three members of the Tsuchigumo clan remain, and they will eventually stay in Konoha to develop their careers.
As Kitazawa and the others returned to Konoha, an emergency meeting was held in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.
"You go down first."
After the ANBU ninja in front of her finished reporting, Mei Terumi waved her hand and said.
"Yes, Lord Mizukage."
The ANBU ninja turned and left.
He was the captain of the Dark Guard who encountered Kitazawa and Tsunade yesterday.
"Konoha Village is really going too far!"
Zabuza Momochi said, quite displeased.
"That's outrageous!"
Hozuki Suigetsu agreed, saying, "Konoha has completely forgotten that we are their allies!"
"Covenants are only useful to the victors."
Mei Terumi said calmly, "What's done is done, there's no point in saying anything more."
The Mizukage office fell silent.
Zabuza Momochi and the others showed expressions of resentment and helplessness.
"I will set off for Konoha Village tomorrow."
Qing slowly began to speak.
"Try to minimize the cost to Kirigakure."
Mei Terumi reminded him.
"I see."
Qing nodded with a serious expression.
But both he and Mei Terumi knew very well that this was a difficult task to accomplish.
After all, Konoha Village had captured Umaru, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki.
For a ninja village, the Jinchuriki is the ultimate weapon that cannot be lost.
No matter the cost, Kirigakure will redeem the Jinchuriki.
"Fortunately, we have reached an agreement with Sunagakure."
Mei Terumi changed the subject, saying reassuringly, "The financial pressure has eased considerably now."
