Strangely, Muramasa also seems to be immortal, unable to be burned to death, and has an extremely strong self-healing ability. No matter what kind of injury he suffers, he immediately recovers to his original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, his swordsmanship was extremely skillful and exquisite; during the battle, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was almost killed by him several times!

If it weren't for the need to capture them alive, the process might have been easier.

"Hurry up and leave, the people from Yunyin will probably find this place soon."

Muramasa drew his demon sword, hoisted the Two-Tails Jinchuriki onto his shoulder, and led the way.

The corner was very unhappy, but after squinting and thinking for a moment, he still chose not to take action.

Because now the other party knows his secret of immortality, while he is still completely unaware of this guy's secret.

If you can't find the other party's weakness, then you're likely to be the one who suffers after taking action.

Shortly after they left, someone finally came to check on the situation.

. . . . . .

boom!

The Raikage smashed the table to pieces with a single punch!

"Investigate! Find him!"

The missing corpses were a minor matter; the important thing was that someone had managed to capture a Jinchūriki right under his nose, which was a direct slap in the face to him!

So no matter the cost, he must find the other party, rescue the Jinchuriki, and tear the person who did it to pieces.

He almost ground his steel teeth to powder.

However, all the witnesses were killed by Kakuzu and Muramasa. In such a vast Land of Lightning, how easy is it to find people aimlessly?

It's like finding a needle in a haystack!

Clearly, the Cloud Village's operation ultimately failed.

A few days later, Kakuzu and Muramasa went to the underground money exchange and sold all the packed corpses for money.

Only then did they retrieve the corpse of Hua Yu and submit the quest.

After waiting for a day, the Crystal Heart was delivered as quickly as possible, along with a huge bounty that brought a smile to Kakuzu's gloomy old face, making Muramasa feel disgusted and want to vomit!

However, when Nagato went back to report on the mission, he was still dumbfounded!

I allowed you to steal corpses from Kirigakure, but I didn't tell you to capture the Two-Tails Jinchuriki too!

Then... should we return it?

What a load of rubbish!

Now that we've caught them, how can we possibly let them go back?

But not putting it back means the plan has to be implemented ahead of schedule.

After only a short time of thought, Nagato made his decision.

Since this is fate, there's nothing we can do about it.

So they gathered everyone again to prepare for a meeting, and while they were at it, they extracted the two-tailed beast so as not to waste it.

"Wow, it's so good to see you all back alive."

Deidara's mental form immediately switched to a sarcastic and unsettling mode upon its appearance.

What others were concerned about was why a second plenary meeting was held just a few days after the first one.

Something must have happened.

Pain didn't mince words and said directly, "Kakuzu and Muramasa have completed their mission last time, and they also captured the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in the process."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the only two people present who were not thought beings, Kakuzu and Muramasa, with considerable surprise, as well as the woman lying on the ground.

"Why have you started capturing the tailed beasts already? Didn't you say the plan wasn't ready yet?"

Deidara was furious. How could he stand that someone else, someone he hated, had gotten to steal the spotlight for him?

Pain then spoke again: "The specific reasons no longer need to be discussed. The purpose of gathering everyone this time is to extract the Two-Tails' chakra and inject it into the Gedo Mazo. The entire process will last for many days, so everyone should find a safe place to stay temporarily."

"Furthermore, now that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki has been captured, the plan shall officially begin!"

"After a while, each group will receive its own arrest mission."

This turn of events was truly unexpected, but it's probably more exciting than anything else!

After all, almost everyone here is someone who thrives on chaos.

Who would want to work and earn money when they can do big things?

It seems only Kakuzu is not too happy about it.

But there's not much we can do.

Judging from the current situation, Muramasa's merits clearly outweigh his demerits, and the leader did not hold his unauthorized actions too accountable because of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Instead, they simply took the opportunity to launch the tailed beast capture plan.

"That guy is probably feeling pretty smug right now."

Kakuzu glanced at Muramasa beside him, his expression displeased, but he didn't say anything more.

Not long after, the Akatsuki members activated the Gedo Mazo and began absorbing the Tailed Beast's chakra from the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

---Aside---

P.S.: Someone jumped off a building in our area yesterday, but not in my neighborhood. Apparently, the pressure of mortgage and car loan payments was too much, plus the lack of income due to the lockdown, so he chose to end his life this way. My feelings are suddenly very complicated. Perhaps someone like Lao Wumian is already quite lucky; at least even staying at home provides some income, preventing him from falling into despair. Now Lao Wumian seems to have come to terms with it; the wedding can be postponed, and if it can't be held this year, it can be held next year. There's no need to rush. Finally, I wish everyone good health, try not to travel unnecessarily, and get through this wave of the epidemic as soon as possible. Let's all cheer each other on!

[Chapter 359. Bargaining]

The fact that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure was captured by an unknown force was not publicized but suppressed.

The reason is probably that the Raikage felt he couldn't bear the embarrassment.

In addition, they didn't want the outside world to know about the 'weakness' of the Hidden Cloud Village at this time.

Indeed, after a series of battles, even the martial arts-based Cloud Village suffered heavy losses, with people sacrificing their lives every day.

Especially the last time...

It can be considered a major blow to its vitality.

Otherwise, even if Kakuzu and Muramasa had intelligence from spies, and the demon sword controlled the corpse, it would never have been so smooth.

Another reason is that the Hidden Cloud Village does not place too much importance on the corpses of these cursed spirits, and their research direction is generally different from that of other countries.

Simply put, while others were still obsessed with secret techniques, forbidden techniques, and biological cloning, the main research direction of the Hidden Cloud Village was actually mechanization.

Chakra + Machinery!

Just think about that chakra giant cannon that was finally unleashed, and you'll know where all of Kumogakure's research funding has gone all these years.

The corpse of the cursed spirit was not given much attention, and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki usually lived in a remote mountain area with almost no inhabitants.

This gave Kakuzu and Muramasa an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

But no matter what, it is an undeniable fact that Kumogakure not only lost its jinchūriki but also its reputation.

A series of actions are being carried out in secret.

Shinji is unaware of these matters at the moment.

But the exchange sent him bad news.

"What the hell? That top-tier cursed spirit's corpse only has a mouth? It didn't have any other facial features?!"

Shinji, who returned to the exchange after receiving the news, was also stunned and seriously suspected that the other party was trying to scam him and double-cross him.

Old Ba smiled wryly, "It's true, there really isn't. Look, this is a photo that was urgently sent from headquarters. Apart from the mouth, the only thing on the face is two small tree branches that have grown where the eyes used to be."

Shinji took the photo and looked at it, and realized it was actually real!

This is really bad luck; it's like even drinking cold water can cause problems!

He reluctantly put the photo down, pinching his nose and admitting defeat, "Fine, since you don't have what I asked for, then give me back what I gave you."

Shinji's request is reasonable; since he can't get the item, he should refund the money.

Even if you sell it, that [Crystal Heart] is worth a lot of Soul Points!

Then Lao Ba was even more embarrassed. He had cursed all those people in his heart, but the matter still needed to be resolved and the news still needed to be delivered.

"The thing is, the cursed item you provided has already been used after testing. So we can't return it to you..."

Shinji wasn't flustered or angry. "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a thing. After all, this is your mistake. You can't produce the promised 'goods' and you still want to steal the 'deposit' the customer gave you. Do you think I've become too easy to talk to lately and have become a vegetarian?"

Sasuke, standing nearby, readily drew his Kusanagi sword and activated the special effects.

The crackling lightning was quite frightening.

Lao Ba quickly smiled apologetically, "How could that be? We've always had a very pleasant working relationship, so how could we possibly break off our cooperation over just one thing?"

"Sigh! Actually, the thing is... so the [Crystal Heart] has already been given to someone else as payment. We're not making excuses, we really can't afford it."

"The main thing is, none of us expected that we would get the body in the end, but we wouldn't get any of what you wanted. This is an unexpected situation within an unexpected situation."

"So, I also received orders from above, which means that we can negotiate a compensation plan that satisfies both parties, and then let this matter pass."

Shinji chuckled after hearing this, "Alright, I'm not an unreasonable person. So tell me, what kind of compensation can you offer?"

Old Eight immediately perked up and said, "It's like this, although the parts you wanted are not available, the body is still here. If you still have any ideas, we can give you priority to choose some parts, even if they are more valuable, as a token of our sincerity and apology."

This proposal held absolutely no appeal for Shinji.

He wants the eyes of a top-tier cursed spirit!

What use are the other parts of his body if he doesn't have eyes?

Are you going to use it to make medicinal liquor?

Uh... I might give it a try when I have the opportunity.

Far away.

"Continue," Shinji said without even looking up.

Lao Ba knew immediately that the proposal was doomed, but he had been mentally prepared for this situation for a long time.
