I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Upon seeing Shigure's retreating figure, Kakashi paused for a moment, "You've grown taller, Shigure!"

His Class 7 has now completely disappeared.

Shigure went to Kirigakure, Sasuke went to Orochimaru's place, and Naruto was taken away by Jiraiya.

The Three Monsters of Konoha had only just begun to make their mark on the entire village, but unexpectedly, they split up!

They arrived faster than Kakashi had imagined.

In just a few days, Shigure became a Jinchūriki and his strength reached a new level.

Sasuke will become even stronger after going to Orochimaru's place, and Kakashi doesn't know how much Shigure will have grown when they meet again.

"Danzo! Abandoning Shigure will be the worst decision you've ever made..." Kakashi sighed helplessly.

"Let's go! Back to the village!"

Shigure said something to Haku and brought Chojuro onto the Somersault Cloud.

The three of them returned to Kirigakure on their somersault cloud.

As Kakashi watched Shigure leave, he paused for a moment, "What kind of technique is that? Is it another new technique that Shigure developed?"

It's a pity that such a gifted ninja, who could even develop this flying ninjutsu, was sent away.

Kakashi sighed silently.

Given the speed of the Somersault Cloud, and considering that Chojuro's injury required immediate treatment...

Shigure is moving at full speed.

Upon returning to Kirigakure, he immediately took Chojuro to the Kirigakure hospital.

Shigure left Bai to watch over him while Shigure went to report the mission's progress to Mei Terumi.

After giving a brief explanation.

Mei Terumi laughed instead: "Konoha is really something! Sending away one excellent ninja after another. If my Kirigakure had these geniuses, we'd be too busy protecting them!"

This made Shigure unable to help but complain.

Are there few geniuses in Kirigakure?

"Compared to Konoha, we may not have as many geniuses, but Kirigakure has quite a few strong individuals!"

Shi Yu casually sat down on the sofa in the office.

"The Hidden Mist Village probably has the largest number of rogue ninja!"

"Moreover, many rogue ninja are extremely powerful, such as Zabuza and Kisame Hoshigaki, who are both quite strong, but unfortunately they were forced to leave Kirigakure!"

"If these ninjas had stayed in Kirigakure, the title of the strongest ninja village might have gone to someone else!"

Mei Terumi was also helpless; it was a problem left over from the Fourth Kage era.

She didn't want to, but she had no choice.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"

"You should go and rest too! You've been working outside for so long!"

However, Shi Yu shook her head. "It's about time!"

"Almost there?" Mei Terumi asked, somewhat puzzled. "Almost there for what?"

"Of course, it's to capture the tailed beasts! We still haven't captured the Three-Tails!"

As she spoke, Shigure slowly stood up. "We should have news soon!"

After Shigure finished speaking, Terumi Mei immediately said, "We've sent people to investigate the Three-Tails, but so far there's still no news about its location!"

Shigure has no hope of relying on the ninjas of Kirigakure to search for it; even if they turned the entire ninja world upside down, they probably wouldn't find it.

"Don't worry! I have a general idea of ​​where it is, but we're still looking for the exact location!"

"Just wait for news!"

"Wait?" Mei Terumi pouted. "Wait until how long?"

【Inner duct cluster (qi liu san si ba ling yi wu qi)】

Suddenly, a ninja from Kirigakure knocked on the door.

Shi Yu smiled slightly, "Perhaps this is exactly what I've been waiting for!"

Upon hearing this, Terumi Mei paused for a moment before calling the person in.

After the Hidden Mist ninja entered, he glanced at Shigure and then looked at Mei Terumi: "Lord Kage, someone has sent a letter using the Hidden Mist Ninja Pursuit Unit's intelligence transmission method, saying it's for Shigure!"

As he spoke, the other person glanced at Shi Yu, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Yes! Give it to me!"

Shigure reached out his hand, and the other person glanced at Mei Terumi before handing the letter to Shigure.

Then Shigure opened it.

A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Mei Terumi. "Found it!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi was taken aback at first, then went directly to Shigure's side to look at the contents of the letter.

The address written above is for a lake within the country.

A huge lake.

This place is quite famous in the country, but due to the surrounding geographical environment, few people come here.

Is the Three-Tails here?

"Yes!" Shi Yu nodded.

He then got up and prepared to leave!

"I'll go and bring the Three-Tails back right away."

Mei Terumi: "Are you alone?"

"Isn't one person enough?"

Seeing Mei Terumi's hesitant expression, Shigure sighed helplessly, "What? You're still worried about me leaving Kirigakure?"

He's already become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, which is basically equivalent to being bound to Kirigakure, yet this woman still doesn't trust him.

Shi Yu sighed helplessly: "What will it take for you to feel at ease?"

"Since we're within the territory of this country, I'll go with you!"

After all, it is a tailed beast. Although Shigure has become the jinchūriki of the six-tailed beast, he may not be able to deal with the three-tailed beast.

The Three-Tails is different; it possesses formidable defensive capabilities.

"Fine!"

Of course, it's fine to go together. Once outside, Shigure summoned his Flying Nimbus and jumped onto it with Mei Terumi.

Seeing how familiar Terumi Mei was with the route, Shigure was stunned for a moment. Had he ever guided her before?

"I've wanted to try this for a long time, but I never expected it to be so amazing. It really is like a cloud!"

Mei Terumi looked like a curious child.

I leaped onto the somersault cloud and accelerated.

Mei Terumi was nearly thrown off by the sudden acceleration, but Shigure, who was already used to it, grabbed her immediately.

They pulled her back.

"As expected, everyone who rides the Somersault Cloud for the first time is the same!"

Shigure laughed, while Mei Terumi looked at him with a seductive expression. "You brat, you did that on purpose, didn't you!"

Shi Yu paused for a moment, then said, "On purpose? You couldn't stand up straight, and I helped you, and now it's my problem?"

"Kid, if you weren't doing this on purpose, could you please take your hand off my waist?"

Shigure withdrew her hand.

Looking calmly ahead, only Shigure knows whether it was intentional or not; in any case, she would never admit it.

Mei Terumi rolled her eyes at Shigure, but she was still very happy inside.

I think my charm is still quite strong, it hasn't diminished at all!

We arrived at a huge lake.

Shigure said to Mei Terumi, who was observing below, "Later, Lord Kage will meet a special person!"

"Someone special? Is he one of yours?"

"That's it!"

As he spoke, the somersault cloud descended.

We arrived at a grove of trees at the edge of the lake.
