But who it was didn't seem to matter to her, since she didn't feel a sense of belonging to Yunyin.

She knew at least that the chances of meeting someone who didn't belong to Yunyin again in the future were slim.

"I never lie to children."

Shiranui Sho removed her hand from the girl's beige hair and then gently touched her lips.

As he deliberately slowed his pace, he and Yugito had already walked along a narrow path.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Ninja ahead were either escorting the candidate Jinchuriki or had other missions to attend to, so they didn't pay attention to this area.

"Open your mouth."

"Shiranui Sou said softly."

Yugito looked at him with confusion, but still obediently opened her mouth.

Those tiny, baby teeth were exposed to the air.

Shiranui Sou's fingers reached under Yugito's tongue, and chakra gathered at her fingertips.

In an instant, the Flying Thunder God Technique was formed.

A tingling sensation came over him, causing Yugito to subconsciously take a bite.

A small tooth mark appeared on Shiranui Xiao's index finger.

"What is this?"

Yukito moved her little tongue, her expression somewhat conflicted.

Just as Shiranui Sho was about to speak, she suddenly stopped.

Before they knew it, they had passed through the narrow passage, and the view ahead opened up again.

What comes into view is a vast, empty valley.

We've arrived...

Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed, and she gently patted Yugito's head.

What color cat plushie do you like?

Yukito tightened her grip on his clothes.

Perhaps this was their last conversation?

"Can it be the same color as my hair?"

"Of course."

Once inside the canyon, Shiranui Sho didn't speak again.

He immediately took in the view of the canyon.

Dozens of Yun Ninja stood in formation, ready to fight.

A huge circular pattern was drawn on the ground, and a Cloud Ninja stood at intervals along the outermost edge of the circle.

"Barrier Technique..."

Shiranui Sho quickly made a judgment.

In the very center of the venue, an elderly woman sat in a wheelchair with her eyes closed.

Two Yun Ninja stood ready, one on the left and one on the right.

Not far from the old woman, several eye-catching figures stood.

The Third Raikage

Shiranui Sou narrowed her eyes slightly.

Compared to him, even the future Fourth Raikage paled in comparison.

In terms of performance, the Third Raikage is undoubtedly the strongest Raikage.

In Shiranui Sho's view, even when the future Fourth Raikage is at his peak, his strength is still a notch below that of his father.

Among the current Kage of the ninja world, the Third Raikage's strength is undoubtedly among the top.

"It's time to evacuate."

Shiranui Sho pondered in his heart.

The mission objectives are almost complete.

The remaining mission objectives would have been virtually impossible to achieve with the Third Raikage present.

According to the usual practice of the secret service, he could have already retreated.

The best time to retreat is when the ceremony officially begins.

As for the Jinchūriki...

Shiranui Sho glanced at the obedient girl standing beside her.

With his repeated interventions, it's unclear whether there have been any changes to the matter of Yunyin replacing the Jinchuriki.

Whether the wooden figure will continue to be as it was originally destined remains to be seen.

In the center of the field.

The Third Raikage raised his thick arm and made a gesture.

The sealing ceremony of the Two-Tailed Beast has now begun.

The Third Raikage looked with respect into his tiger-like eyes at the old woman in the wheelchair who had opened her eyes at some point.

"Senior, you've worked hard," he said in a deep voice.

"Your contributions to Yunyin will never be forgotten!"

"Lord Raikage, let's begin while I still have some strength left."

The old woman chuckled.

As one approaches death, things like honor and fame seem to vanish from one's mind.

She was deeply weary of living the latter half of her life as a "container".

At this moment, all she felt was relief and ease.

"Yes."

The Third Raikage closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again, his gaze becoming sharp.

Beside them, a red-haired boy reluctantly stood in front of the wheelchair, escorted by a Cloud Ninja.

His eyes, a mixture of complex emotions and fear, stared hatefully at the group of thugs who had kidnapped him.

"The Whirlpool Clan..."

Shiranui Sho frowned.

Sure enough, the glimpse of red I had seen earlier was not an illusion.

The next Jinchūriki chosen by the Hidden Cloud Village is a member of the Uzumaki clan who was kidnapped from somewhere!

According to the mission description, they should rescue him and bring him back to Konoha.

However, this goal must be considered in the context of the specific scenario.

If Shiranui Sho encounters the opponent in the Eastern Region before the sealing ceremony begins, rescuing them would not be difficult.

But the sealing has already begun.

The Third Raikage, the future Fourth Raikage, and the Lava Release ninja Tsuchikage.

Each of them is not to be underestimated.

While he was observing, the Cloud Ninja responsible for sealing the Tailed Beasts had already placed his hand on the abdomen of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, an old woman.

As the seal was broken, a torrent of evil chakra surged forth.

A dark blue flame instantly enveloped the old woman's entire body, with tailed beast chakra emanating from her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

"Jinchūriki, prepare!"

The Third Raikage roared.

A Cloud Ninja held down the shoulder of the Uzumaki clan boy with one hand, while using the other hand to lift up the clothes around his abdomen.

Another Cloud Ninja formed a hand seal.

The azure-blue Two-Tails chakra, which had been raging in mid-air, suddenly seemed to find an outlet and surged towards the abdomen of the Uzumaki clan boy.

"As expected, the Uzumaki clan has an irreplaceable advantage in sealing tailed beasts."

Seeing that the sealing was proceeding smoothly, the Third Raikage gradually felt relieved.

But the next second.

There were no unusual signs.

A piercing, ear-splitting electric current suddenly exploded!

Inside the canyon, Shiranui Sou, standing beside Yukito, and "Tsuki," hidden elsewhere, both changed color.

Chapter 70 Raikage's Wrath! Two-Tails Breaks Free!

"Uh!"

As lightning struck, the Cloud Ninja responsible for casting the Iron Armor Seal instinctively went to defend themselves.

The sealing technique was interrupted, and the originally docile Two-Tails chakra suddenly boiled after a moment of stagnation!

"Don't lose your composure!"

After the Third Raikage shouted, his tiger-like eyes locked onto the direction from which the lightning was coming, like an enraged lion.

"Iron Armor Seal!!"

Once the Cloud Ninja had calmed down, he cast the sealing technique again.

However, his face soon grew increasingly grim, and cold sweat soaked his entire body.

The difference in difficulty between transferring a tailed beast from one place of sealing to another and transferring it from a rampaging state to a sealed state is like night and day.

"court death!!"

The Third Raikage's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he instantly locked onto the intruder who was disrupting the seal.

The raging thunder transformed into an indestructible suit of armor, while the right hand, entwined with lightning, became an unbreakable spear.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged toward a figure that had turned to flee.

"Vulture?"

Shiranui Sou's pupils contracted.

What an idiot.

Why interrupt the ceremony at this time?!

He was genuinely puzzled by this.

If we want to save the boy from the Uzumaki clan, we should act before the seal begins or after it ends.

Interfering within the seal could most likely only result in the death of the Jinchūriki.

Furthermore, with top-tier combatants like the Third Raikage gathered here, they are far beyond their ability to contend with.

Disrupting the ceremony without being able to rescue the whirlpool clan boy would only thoroughly enrage Yun Yin.

Ultimately, it could even escalate into a war between the two countries.

It's not that Konoha was afraid of the Cloud Ninja at this time, but that such important matters required the Hokage's authorization.

Without the Hokage's authorization, these Anbu members had no right to drag the village into the abyss of war.

What Shiranui Sho didn't expect was that "Wagyu's" next move once again broke through the bottom line.

In the distance, "Wagyu" knew that he could not escape from the Third Raikage on his own, and he was filled with fear.

The next second, his gaze happened to catch sight of "Moon" in the distance, who had revealed herself because she was hesitating whether to draw her sword to provide support, and a ferocious look flashed in his eyes.
