I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Just like Hongdou was seriously injured, the Raikage's condition was not much better after Ye Lan left.

Not long after Ye Lan left, the Raikage fell into a coma, and the Hidden Cloud Ninjas could only carry him back to the village. Seeing Darui's miserable corpse, they could only hold back their vomiting as they took the body back.

When he picked up the Raikage's chopped-off leg, he found that it had been badly damaged by Ye Lan and there was no way to reattach it.

Just as they were getting ready to leave, a faint sound was heard.

The alert Kumogakure ninja was horrified and thought Ye Lan had come back to kill him again. After investigating and finding the source, he said in surprise.

"Master Kirabi! You are not dead!"

"He's almost dead... He's almost dead. That guy was too ruthless... Brother Lian."

Killer Bee had been hiding in the ruins. He watched the whole fight between the Raikage and Ye Lan, but he was so weak that he didn't even dare to remind them. Once he spoke, the news that he was not dead would be completely exposed. It was Niu Gui who almost sacrificed himself to keep him alive, and he absolutely could not let him down.

That’s right, it is almost impossible for Killer Bee to escape from Ye Lan’s nose. At the last moment, he can only give all the power of the tailed beast to his clone. Ushio only dares to cut off one tail to save Killer Bee’s life and prevent him from dying directly after losing the power of the tailed beast.

Most of the tailed beasts' chakra is in the clones, so even if the opponent draws away the chakra, they won't notice anything, because the Eight-Tails' chakra is originally more than that of other tailed beasts except the Nine-Tails.

The price is that Ushiki completely lost consciousness, and Killer Bee is now completely unable to use the power of the tailed beast and has become an ordinary Kumogakure ninja.

"Hurry up and get the medical team here to save big brother's life. The loss to Yunyin this time is too severe!"

Kirabi staggered to Ai's side, his words no longer had the rap of the past, and he shed tears with a look of grief and indignation, which was rare for him.

...

After completing the mission of rescuing Gaara, Kakashi and others rested in Sunagakure and then returned to Konoha.

As soon as he entered Konoha, Kakashi went straight to Tsunade's office without taking a break.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama!"

Kakashi didn't even knock on the door, which was enough to show his eagerness.

As soon as I entered the room, I found that in addition to Tsunade, Jiraiya was also there, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

"How's Kakashi? I heard this mission didn't seem to go well?"

Jiraiya asked directly, not caring about Kakashi's defeat.

"That's right. Although the Kazekage was rescued, the One-Tail was taken away by the other party. The people of the Akatsuki organization are indeed very difficult to deal with."

Kakashi looked stern. Sasori had left a deep impression on him. This was beyond the scope of previous puppetry. If Naruto hadn't gone berserk, they would have needed Kai's Eight Gates to solve it.

"What a shame. Akatsuki's goal has been fully achieved, but we still lack intelligence on them."

Jiraiya was just discussing the situation of Akatsuki with Tsunade, but they still had no clue.

"No, I have an opinion on that."

Kakashi's eyes lit up. He discovered something when fighting with Sasori.

"I discovered one thing. Most of the puppets of the Red Sand Scorpion are equipped with cannons produced by the Rain Country. Their power may be even greater than the one they used in their previous battle with Iwagakure."

"Are you saying that Akatsuki and Amegakure have some kind of deal?"

Tsunade didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. Kakashi's ability to capture information was indeed powerful. He was able to detect something was wrong after just one fight.

Kakashi shook his head and came to a conclusion.

"No, I think those cannons of Yuyin might have been made by Scorpion!"

Jiraiya's expression also turned serious. He had always been suspicious of Amegakure before, but because of Hanzo's existence, it was not easy for him to go to Amegakure to investigate. This time, having the key information was enough for him to take the risk.

"In that case, I must go to Yugakure to gather information. Asuma also said that the man with the Rinnegan we met before was wearing Yugakure's forehead protector!"

Jiraiya's words made Tsunade suddenly realize that this was the information she had obtained when she sent Ye Lan and Asuma to Kirigakure.

"But, if it is really the headquarters of Akatsuki, it would be too dangerous. At present, we know that in addition to Sasori and Deidara, there are also Kisame, Sasuke, Ye Lan, and a mysterious strong man with the Rinnegan..."

Kakashi's meaning was self-evident. Even Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas, could not easily leave such a place.

"Don't worry, if I really can't beat you, I will run away."

Jiraiya patted Kakashi's shoulder and told him not to worry, he had to go to Amegakure if he wanted to get information about Akatsuki.

"But Naruto's matter still worries me. His training of natural energy has not made any progress, and this time he was eroded by the power of the Nine-Tails and went berserk."

Jiraiya held his chin up. The only thing that worried him was Naruto.

"Master Jiraiya, it seems to me that Naruto may not be very adaptable to your training method yet. Compared with your fairy technique, a more intuitive improvement may be more suitable for him."

Kakashi, who has much more teaching experience than Jiraiya, said directly.

"Hasn't the teacher been unable to change the nature of the Rasengan? Naruto can make some attempts in this regard."

"Your idea is good. I'll leave Naruto to you, Kakashi."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Kakashi to solve his problem so easily.

"However, I will need to borrow someone from Lady Tsunade to guide Naruto's training."

Kakashi turned and looked at Tsunade.

"I see. Is it Tenzang? I'll tell him."

Tsunade immediately understood Kakashi's idea. Apart from the seal given by Jiraiya, only Wood Release and Sharingan could suppress the Nine-Tails. Since Konoha no longer had the Sharingan, they could only look for Tenzo who possessed Wood Release.

"Lady Tsunade, urgent information!"

Just as the three of them finished their discussion, the office door opened again.

Looking at the panicked members of the Signal Club, Tsunade sighed and rubbed her temples. Why did things happen one after another?

"Kumogakure condemned Konoha, and Uchiha Yalan captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki alone in Kumogakure. Uchiha Yalan was wearing the clothes of the Akatsuki organization when he was in action. The Fourth Raikage who went to pursue was seriously injured, and as soon as he woke up, he sent a letter of condemnation to Konoha."

Without waiting for Tsunade to ask, the ninja from the Signal Department read out the information directly.

At once, the expressions of the three people present changed.

"It's really exaggerated. I haven't seen that brat for a few years, but he has reached this level. He captured two human Chuuriki at the same time and severely injured the Raikage."

Jiraiya couldn't believe it. If he remembered correctly, this kid had already reached the pinnacle of the ninja world before he was 20 years old. Even he didn't dare to say that he could achieve this. Judging from the situation, Ye Lan didn't seem to be injured at all.

As expected, Ye Lan was in the Land of Lightning at the time and acted so quickly that we had just returned to the village when two Jinchūriki were eliminated, one of whom was a perfect Jinchūriki.

Kakashi covered his new left eye, as if it was still in pain. Could it be that even the Raikage couldn't resist the Uchiha's power?

"This little brat! I knew he wouldn't stay still!"

This was the first time Tsunade heard information about Ye Lan after he left the village, but the information was not very good.

Seeing that the Hokage had accepted this fact, the ninja from the Signal Division continued.

"One more thing. After waking up, the Raikage announced that the Five Kage Conference will be held in the Land of Iron in a month!"
