"Bee, he's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"
Eight-Tails shouted, simultaneously sending a communication request to the Nine-Tailed.
Unfortunately, there was no response from within Feng Xu's body.
Hearing Eight-Tails' identification, Killer Bee was also greatly astonished.
He shouted at Feng Xu, who was holding him, "Are you Konoha trying to provoke a war, Nine…"
Killer Bee's "Nine" was cut short by a fleeting crimson flash from under Feng Xu's mask.
Control over his body was once again stripped away, and the "Tailed" he hadn't yet uttered was swallowed back down his throat.
"You talk too much."
Bang!
A dark skeletal finger flicked Killer Bee's forehead.
Under the heavy blow, Killer Bee's eyes rolled back, and he immediately fainted.
"Now it's real."
Feng Xu tossed the unconscious Killer Bee to a thoughtful Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu quickly regained his composure, using the Mayfly technique to swallow Killer Bee into the ground.
He let out a low, ambiguous chuckle.
"Hehehe, they actually mistook us for Konoha people."
"It seems they misunderstood your pupil technique for controlling bodies as the Nara clan's secret technique from Konoha."
"If I had known this, those Kumogakure Ninja should have been allowed to return and report the news..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xu suddenly turned his head and stared at Black Zetsu.
He stared until the smile on Black Zetsu's face froze, and cold sweat broke out on his back, before he withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go to the nearest sealing point."
"After Eight-Tails is completely extracted and sealed, Pain can also focus on the main task."
Hearing Feng Xu's words, Black Zetsu nodded as if granted a great pardon, then rapidly shrank back into the ground... Feng Xu hadn't been gone long.
Several Kumogakure Ninja sped over from a distance.
After a quick inspection, one of them quickly ran towards Kumogakure.
The others continued to search the area around Cloud-Thunder Valley.
After another period of time.
These Kumogakure Ninja returned with several tattered corpses.
At the same time, a streak of blue lightning rushed from a distance at an extremely fast speed.
It was accompanied by a furious roar.
"Killer Bee!!!"
Boom!!!
The blue lightning struck the ground, causing the earth to sink and crack like a spiderweb.
"Raikage-sama!"
Seeing the appearance of Raikage Ay, the surrounding Kumogakure Ninja quickly ran over.
But Ay ignored these Ninja.
Instead, he punched a nearby rock, roaring hoarsely.
"Bee, get out here!!!"
"One minute, no, if you don't come out in thirty seconds, I'll break your legs!!!"
Hearing that Killer Bee had disappeared, Ay rushed over immediately.
After not getting a response from Killer Bee for a long time, Ay finally looked at the surrounding Kumogakure Ninja.
The Kumogakure Ninja also quickly stepped forward to report.
"Raikage-sama, we have investigated, and Killer Bee-sama is no longer in this Cloud-Thunder Valley."
"Moreover, all the Ninja responsible for guarding and monitoring the area are dead, with no survivors."
"This should be a premeditated enemy attack, targeting Killer Bee-sama, who is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Just like Yugito-sama, who went missing during a mission not long ago."
"Enemy attack?!" Ay roared.
"Tell me who the enemy is!"
The Kumogakure Ninja looked at each other, none daring to speak.
Ay understood what was going on and once again punched another large rock, shattering it.
"Go investigate, investigate one by one, investigate all Ninja entering the Land of Lightning!!!"
"Bee!!!"
"My brother, wait for me!!!"
Chapter 214: Akatsuki's Five Capture Targets
Just as Kumogakure launched a full-scale search.
On the other side, Akatsuki had already completed the sealing of Eight-Tails.
Splat!
Killer Bee, his eyes devoid of light, fell weakly from mid-air like a broken rag.
And the Chakra, reflecting the appearance of Eight-Tails Gyuki.
Was enveloped by a blue Chakra dragon and pulled into the mouth of the Gedo Statue.
Under the Gedo Statue's brow, the off-center right eye, nestled close to the middle, slowly opened.
At this point, except for the innermost eye representing the Nine-Tailed.
All eight other eyes, representing the Chakra of Ichibi to Eight-Tails, were open.
"It went very smoothly, now only the Nine-Tailed remains..."
Looking at the last closed eye through Pain's vision, Nagato felt a surge of excitement.
He would soon avenge Yahiko and inflict an unhealable wound on this world.
Then, through these wounds, he would make others contemplate, accept, and finally completely understand Pain!
Thus, hoping for a world without Pain to emerge, achieving world peace!
However, Nagato's excitement was soon interrupted by Feng Xu.
"Pain, I have completed everything on my end, only yours remains."
"If you drag this out any longer, I can't guarantee what my long-hidden Pain might do."
Feng Xu's excuse for joining Akatsuki was his grudge against Konoha.
He would help the Akatsuki Organization capture Tailed Beasts, and the Akatsuki Organization would help him get revenge on Konoha.
However, Nagato initially didn't believe this reason.
After all, given Feng Xu's power, he could easily destroy Konoha himself without relying on their strength.
But later, after learning about the strength of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from Itachi and Kisame.
As well as the resurrected Second Hokage and other beings.
Only then did Nagato believe Feng Xu's reason.
Feng Xu, being alone, was outnumbered, and a strong alliance with them was quite reasonable.
Nagato even speculated that Feng Xu's grudge against Konoha was because of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
They had already sealed eight Tailed Beasts, but none matched the Tailed Beast Chakra on Feng Xu.
So Nagato had reason to believe that Feng Xu had taken a portion of the Nine-Tailed's Chakra from the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Becoming a special existence like the Gold and Silver Brothers.
The subsequent result should have been severe injury by the enraged Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and being hunted by Konoha.
With the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's combat record of easily injuring Itachi and Kisame, and overpowering Orochimaru, the First, and Second Hokage.
Nagato firmly believed he possessed such strength.
Even Nagato himself, facing a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with such achievements, couldn't claim to win.
Instead, he adopted the psychological attack method provided by Feng Xu.
Using people the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki cared about to make the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki completely lose control and go berserk.
After all, a rampaging, irrational Tailed Beast was much easier to capture than a perfect Jinchuriki.
However, Nagato felt he needed to make some preparations,
In case Feng Xu took the opportunity to steal the Nine-Tailed with his Sharingan.
If Feng Xu truly obtained the complete Nine-Tailed Chakra.
Nagato wasn't confident he could take it back from Feng Xu.
Thinking this, Pain withdrew his gaze and glanced at Feng Xu with a hint of vigilance.
"My side is also almost done, I've already tracked Jiraiya's route..."
Saying this, Pain looked around at the remaining six people and asked.
"Sasori, Deidara, how is your progress?"
Hearing Pain's question, Deidara nodded and replied.
"Master Sasori and I are following the target, we'll succeed soon, un!"
Sasori, on the side, glanced at Feng Xu before adding.
"Currently, the target is very close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, making it impossible to act."
"However, I've already thought of a way to separate the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from the target, after which we can begin capturing the target."
Pain nodded slightly, then looked at Zabuza and Kakuzu on the other side.
Before he could even speak, Zabuza directly turned his head and reported to Feng Xu.
"Boss, this old geezer and I have successfully infiltrated Konoha using your method without triggering Konoha's barrier."
"And the two targets at Ichiraku Ramen have been successfully captured alive."
"We are also looking for an opportunity to capture the other target named Iruka without alarming Konoha."
Pain said nothing about Zabuza reporting to Feng Xu instead of him.
Instead, he looked at Kakuzu on the side for confirmation.
Kakuzu nodded indifferently, indicating that Zabuza was correct.
However, the coldness in his eyes showed his displeasure with Zabuza's recent address.
Pain didn't give them a chance to argue.
After receiving this confirmed information, he turned back and asked Feng Xu.
"There are five targets in total, correct?"
"If there are no problems, I will then turn them into the Five Paths of Pain and officially launch the plan."
"I won't make you wait too long."
Hearing this, Feng Xu nodded slightly.
