Chapter 464 Searching for Tsunade, the Spying of Black and White Zetsu
"What? Yongdai-mei agreed to Kirigakure's peace terms, and after receiving the first installment of 100 million ryo, she asked us to release the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?"
A few days later, Ishikawa heard the news brought back by Nohara Rin and couldn't help but turn pale and speechless.
He even planned to use this opportunity to teach the Fourth Mizukage a lesson and try to get some Water Release ninjutsu back with him, but unexpectedly...
Damn it, he's been eyeing that Water Mirror Technique that can reflect attacks for ages!
"I'm sorry, Minato-sensei did this to end the war quickly. Besides, the benefits we secured have already exceeded the village's expectations!" Nohara Rin quickly explained, afraid that Ishikawa might misunderstand.
Upon hearing this, Ishikawa immediately realized what was happening and understood!
Indeed, according to Yongdaimei's idea, the peace treaty did not include any compensation; it was merely an equal treaty where both sides ceased hostilities and licked their wounds of war.
He has now helped secure a compensation of 1 billion ryo plus ownership of the Three-Tails, which is already an astonishing gain in Konoha's eyes!
Regardless of its value, the three-tailed beast alone is enough for Konoha to abandon everything and immediately sign an alliance treaty to avoid any unforeseen complications.
After all, those are weapons of war, vital strategic resources that can influence Konoha's future!
"Fine, since Eitai-nee agrees, then so be it. But as for Samehada, I want to handle it according to my own wishes." Having thought it through, Ishikawa sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to the door.
He dragged Samehada a few steps forward, opened the door, and threw the greatsword into Kisame's arms, leaving Kisame completely bewildered.
"Here you go. I hope you won't disappoint me when I see you again." Ishikawa said casually, his gaze indifferent, without taking the opportunity to develop Kisame's relationship with Kisame.
The timing isn't right yet. If we want to recruit Kisame as a spy, we'll have to wait until the other side is disappointed with Kirigakure.
Since he had already left a hidden hand, Ishikawa wasn't worried that the other party would betray him in the future.
"Go and inform the Mizukage that once the money is ready, we'll return the Six-Tails and leave Kirigakure." Ishikawa urged the bewildered Kisame again, then slammed the door shut and went back to his room.
"So, can we go home now, Rin..." Ignoring the little brat who was the Six-Tails Jinchuriki next to him, Ishikawa turned his head meaningfully.
Whether it's Rin's Rinnegan or the future era, they need to go back and solve the problem.
"I'm sorry." Nohara Rin smiled and shook her head, a fleeting hint of amusement and playfulness in her eyes. "We have a new mission: to bring back Master Tsunade."
She wouldn't say that this was a task she negotiated with Minato-sensei, her goal being to spend more time with Ishikawa.
Of course, formally becoming an apprentice and having Tsunade return to the village to assist the Fourth Hokage were also reasons...
After all, Tsunade had promised her that she would formally take her as her disciple after the war ended.
"Find Tsunade!!" Instantly, the nonchalant Ishikawa's eyes lit up and his heart burned with excitement.
Tsunade, a 37-year-old mature woman, is the kind of woman he has always longed to date.
Just thinking about those full, plump, firm yet soft peaks made Ishikawa's mouth dry and his desire to try it out.
After suppressing my desires for so long, is the reward finally coming?!
"Ishikawa, what's wrong?" Nohara Rin seemed to notice Ishikawa's unusual behavior, wrinkling her delicate nose as if she felt a vague sense of unease.
"No, nothing, I was just thinking about Lady Tsunade's hemophobia. That might be difficult to handle." Ishikawa casually made up a story to gloss over the matter, but in his heart he was already looking forward to the young Tsunade in her prime.
Well, she might look similar to Tsunade in the future, but her mentality and mindset will definitely not be so weathered!
"Huh? Hemophobia? Didn't you say you had a way to solve it?" Nohara Rin turned her head and opened her innocent big eyes, asking sweetly.
"Uh, well...actually..."
Instantly, Ishikawa's face stiffened and he gave an awkward smile, feeling embarrassed as he thought about his previous solutions and didn't know how to start the conversation.
I wonder if he can withstand Tsunade's furious punch right now!
"Lord Ishikawa, Lady Rin, the Mizukage requests your presence." Just as Nohara Rin was about to ask further questions, Kisame's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
Ishikawa felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and immediately grabbed the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and rushed out the door...
As Ishikawa's mission drew to a close, Sasuke, far away in the Land of Lightning, left Kumogakure with Kakashi, completely satisfied.
"Speaking of Sasuke, why are you so fixated on how the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki can tame it? Could it be that you intend to..."
Far from Kumogakure, Kakashi reflected on his experiences over the past few days and couldn't help but make some bold guesses.
“Yes, that’s exactly what you think! Our Konoha also needs a perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.” Sasuke didn’t hide anything and spoke frankly, which made Kakashi’s eyes light up and his breathing quicken.
If that's the case, both Rin and Kushina will benefit from it. It seems Sasuke still cares about his fellow villagers...
"By the way, this battle gave me a new understanding of Lightning Release Armor. We can discuss it on the way." Seeing the joy in Kakashi's eyes, Sasuke spoke up again, as if remembering something.
"As expected—" Kakashi nodded in surprise. He wasn't surprised at all. It was perfectly normal for Sasuke to copy the Raikage's Lightning Release in front of the Mangekyou Sharingan!
Even he, without the Sharingan, gained a lot of experience from this battle.
Soon, through their back-and-forth discussion, the Raikage's secret techniques were quickly analyzed and mastered...
Neither of them noticed that on a tree trunk in the distance, a dark green eye was silently observing everything.
"He didn't transplant that Rinnegan? Nor did he plan to collect the Tailed Beasts? Uchiha Sasuke, what exactly is this guy up to??" Black Zetsu suddenly spoke up and peeked out after watching the two of them leave.
"Could it be that he never intended to transplant the Rinnegan? Or that he had no ambition to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?" White Zetsu's half-body appeared at the same time, causing Black Zetsu to shake his head directly.
"Impossible. Why would he steal Nagato's left eye if he wasn't going to transplant the Rinnegan? As for the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki..."
At this point, a hint of disappointment flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes, followed by a resolute look. "Never mind him. Nagato has already joined Amegakure and is showing his talent. We must find a way to help him grow quickly."
"Let's leave Sasuke alone for now, until he transplants the Rinnegan or we find that Rinnegan!"
"In short, Lord Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan cannot be interrupted and aborted like this!!"
“Then that’s the only way. Let’s try to awaken Nagato’s full power first! If it’s a Rinnegan, his body should be able to develop and adapt to it quickly.” White Zetsu agreed, and Black Zetsu nodded in agreement before disappearing underground.
Uchiha Sasuke, this battle has only just begun...
