"Aaaaaaah!!" The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, clutched his arm in agony as crimson tailed beast chakra overflowed, transforming into an arm covered in coral!

Creak! The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, rushed in, her hands rapidly forming hand seals.

Whoosh! Streams of water rose from the formation, intertwining and surging upwards.

After a long while, Yagura's rampaging arms were finally subdued!

Mei Terumi lowered her hand, her beautiful eyes grave, and said, "This is the seventh time this month... Such frequent rampages seem to confirm the rumors. After ten years, the ominous demon, 'Three-Tailed Isobu,' is about to return to the world!"

Chapter 470 The Three-Tailed Fox is Resurrected!

In the land of water, in a misty forest, a fat and a thin figure walked one after the other, both shrouded in black cloaks...

"Hey, Saikawa-senpai... how much longer do we have to walk? I... I can't walk anymore!" The skinny guy walking behind, hunched over with his arms hanging down, said weakly, and finally plopped down on the wet ground like a lump of mud!

Clang! The giant in front stopped and turned around, taking off his hood to reveal a rugged face, a sparse forehead, and a scar that separated his right eye, making him look somewhat fierce!

He said with a hint of exasperation, "Afei, how many times have you messed up along the way? You even fell into such an obvious trap earlier. If I hadn't saved you in time, you would probably have been blown to pieces. Seriously, do you even deserve to be called a member of 'Akatsuki'?"

Afei scratched the back of his head and said, "Hehe, didn't Boss Pain say that each Akatsuki squad needs to maintain a balance of combat power?"

"It is precisely because Senior Saikawa's power is too great that I, as an apprentice, was made to serve as his follower, in order to prevent an imbalance of power within Akatsuki..."

"If your strength were even a tenth of your flattery skills, I wouldn't be working so hard!" Cai Chuan shook his head helplessly, sat down on a rock, took out a soldier's ration pill, and chewed it.

Saikawa is left-handed and wears a ring with the character "北" (Bei, meaning North) on his left ring finger. In Akatsuki, his code name is "北斗" (Beidou, meaning North Star).

Before joining Akatsuki, he was a notorious rogue ninja from Iwagakure, and unprecedentedly, he possessed all three of Iwagakure's signature bloodline limits: 'Boiling Release', 'Explosion Release', and 'Molten Release'!

He is also a descendant of the first Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, and comes from the ancient and prestigious 'Kamisui-ryu' clan of Iwagakure!

No one knows why he defected, but if he hadn't defected, he would undoubtedly be the most favorable candidate to become the next Tsuchikage!

Before Tobi, Saikawa teamed up with 'Aburame Ryoma', codenamed Soujin... Later, Ryoma's identity as Kabuto's spy was exposed, and he was executed by Saikawa. But in reality, the person who killed Ryoma was the former Akatsuki's 'Genbu', Uchiha Shisui!

After Ryoma's death, Tobi joined the Akatsuki organization... He also teamed up with other newcomers, but most of those newcomers died, while Tobi always managed to survive by sheer luck.

Perhaps luck is also a kind of strength. Why not let him stay and liven up the atmosphere of this dark organization? That was Kisame Hoshigaki's assessment.

Recently, Xiao's final organizational structure was officially established.

The new member, "Sōjō," officially takes over the ring originally codenamed "Genbu" by Uchiha Shisui, and forms a two-person team with "Nanto" Kisame Hoshigaki.

Afei inherits the "Empty Dust" and forms a two-person team with Kamisui Ryusai, who is the "Northern Dipper," to carry out the mission of hunting the Three-Tails!

The forest was quiet at night.

Afei lay on the lawn, wearing a dark scarf, his mask piercing the air as he gazed at the hazy moon in the sky: "Speaking of which, senior... we're going to capture a tailed beast this time, which one was it again?"

"Three-Tails, Three-Tails! You should remember this!" Saikawa put a cigar in his mouth.

"Oh dear~! Come to think of it, isn't the Three-Tails already dead?" Tobi said.

"It is indeed dead... but it will be resurrected in three days. The resurrection location is 'Mirror Lake' in the Land of Water! Intelligence indicates that Kirigakure also knows this. Our mission is to capture it before Kirigakure retrieves the Three-Tails and bring it back to the organization!"

Cai Chuan took out a kerosene lighter and was about to light a cigarette.

"Hey!" Afei sprang to his feet, rubbing his hands as he stepped forward. "Senior! Please let me offer you a cigarette!"

"Oh...you have a good eye!" Cai Chuan handed the lighter to A Fei.

bass!bass!bass!

Afei kept trying to light the flint, but perhaps because the air in the forest was too humid, it wouldn't light for a long time.

"..." Cai Chuan waited with a cigarette in his mouth, and the scene became somewhat awkward.

"Huh! That's weird! Is it out of fuel?" Afei shook the lighter vigorously, held it in front of him, pressed it, and whoosh! It lit!

Ah Fei laughed, "Hehehe! Senior, lean forward a bit! I'm afraid if I move, the fire will go out again!"

Cai Chuan leaned forward as far as he could, but still couldn't reach it: "Come forward a little!"

Ah Fei carefully handed it forward... *poof!* The fire went out mid-air!

Cai Chuan frowned and said, "I'll do it myself..."

Afei's body trembled as he said, "I joined Akatsuki because I admire your heroic figure! Please let me complete this mission!"

Cai Chuan said impatiently, "Then hurry up! My back is about to break!"

"Hey...hey!!" Afei jumped up and quickly stepped forward to cover the air vent with his hand, then turned the flint again.

bass!!!!

The flames rose a foot high and leaped onto Cai Chuan's sparse hair!

"S-S-Senior!!!" Afei frantically patted the flames on Caichuan's head with his sleeve... After extinguishing them, the only hair left on Caichuan's forehead was burned off!

Just six months ago... Cai Chuan was bald! The few hairs he had were from a hair transplant he paid for with the savings he earned in Akatsuki!

It was burned to the ground!

The cigarette was lit... but Cai Chuan's hand holding the cigar trembled slightly, as if he was trying to hold back something.

Afei quieted down, pinched his chin, and carefully examined Cai Chuan's head: "Oh right, senior, I've noticed something since just now..."

"What?" Cai Chuan frowned.

“Senior’s bald head… looks like the moon!” Afei said, then chuckled twice.

Cai Chuan put down the cigarette he had just offered to his lips, lowered his head, and bulged the veins on his forehead!

"Huh?? Senior??" Afei poked Caichuan with his hand.

Cai Chuan raised his head, his entire face turning a dark red, with steam even emanating from his pores. He roared, "A Fei... I'll give you three seconds! Quick, run! Otherwise, I'll kill you!!!!"

"Ughh ...

Cai Chuan stood up unsteadily.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The air rippled outwards, and he vanished from the spot...

boom!!!!!!!

Flames from the explosion rose at the edge of the forest...

"Ah ...

And so, three nights later, the air was bitterly cold, and Mirror Lake was shrouded in a dense fog that was a rare sight in ten years!

In that thick fog... an extremely ominous atmosphere was brewing!

The lakebed gradually turned a blood-red color!

Glug glug glug!

The water level in the center of the lake has risen!

"Awoooooo!!!"

With a roar that shattered the night, the monster, which had been away from the human world for ten years, was finally reborn here!

"There's no mistake... that's the Three-Tails, Isobu!!"

Chapter 471 Hunt Successful!

"No mistake, that's the Three-Tailed Beast, Isobu!"

The speaker was none other than Cai Chuan, who stood atop a tall tree on the outskirts of Mirror Lake!

Afei made a lookout gesture, gazing at the enormous creature that was faintly visible in the thick fog, and exclaimed boastfully, "Hmm! Looking at it this way, the Three-Tailed Beast really is a giant turtle! How are we supposed to fight a monster like that? No, perhaps... Senior, you stay here and keep watch, and I'll immediately return to the organization and ask Kisame-senpai to come and help!"

"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back! Akatsuki's mission must be completed independently; that's an ironclad rule!" Caichuan glanced over with his single eye: "And Afei... you're not thinking of deserting your post, are you?"

Afei innocently said, "No, no, senior!! Please let me explain... no, let me explain!! I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to defeat... no, it's that after defeating the Three-Tails, your stamina would be depleted, and if those guys from Kirigakure came to ambush you, things would be really bad!!"

"Hmph." Caichuan withdrew his gaze: "What you said... isn't entirely unreasonable. After all, this is Kirigakure's territory, so such a thing isn't impossible. Therefore, I'll take the lead in the attack, and you'll provide support to minimize my losses, understand?"

Afei timidly said, "But, but Senior Saikawa... I, I'm just an apprentice! And, I have no experience dealing with this kind of monster. I heard that the tailed beast can fire cannons from its butt, and with one bang, it can flatten a mountain. How, how scary!!"

Saikawa said, "You mean the Tailed Beast Ball, right... Hmph, I've seen the Four-Tails and Five-Tails of Iwagakure before, and their power is astonishing. But the Three-Tails has just been resurrected, so it shouldn't have the power to launch Tailed Beast Balls continuously for the time being. Even if it did have that power, the Three-Tails is in a wild state, without anyone to help or drive it, and it doesn't have the awareness to control its power. As long as you're careful, you can defend against it!"

"Anyway, I'll take most of the firepower for you. You just stay behind me. Whatever ninjutsu you know... just throw it at me!"

Boom! As soon as the words were spoken, Cai Chuan had already charged forward, taking the lead!

"Wait a minute!! Sen...senpai!!!" Afei called out from behind, but Saikawa had already rushed into the thick fog.

Ah Fei leaned against the tree trunk, his expression becoming calm.

"Well... never mind."

He leaped from the tree and plunged into the thick fog.

"Awooo!!!" In the mist, the Three-Tails' eyes, like two golden lights, locked onto the oncoming enemy and let out a deafening roar!

—Boiling Release: Steaming Blood Martial Body!

Sizzle! Cai Chuan stood on the lake surface, his skin turning dark red, accompanied by rising hot steam!

This is steam generated by using Boiling Release to accelerate blood flow and speed up life activities. The user will be in a state of high excitement, and their physical functions such as strength and speed will be greatly enhanced!

If used in conjunction with 'Explosion Release', it will generate immense destructive power!!

Bang! ! !

Saikawa took a step and created a sonic boom, instantly arriving in front of the Three-Tails. His fist, as big as a bowl, carrying unparalleled monstrous strength, slammed into the Three-Tails' armor!

—Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!!!

Rumble! ...

The explosive flames sent the three-tailed behemoth flying, and cracks appeared on its incredibly hard shell!

"Awooo!!!" But then, it let out a furious roar and slammed its coral-covered tail down at Cai Chuan!

Bang! !

A sonic boom erupted, and Cai Chuan vanished from his spot, his tail slapping empty air and splashing water everywhere...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
