Upon hearing this, the Akatsuki members rushed forward and surrounded Gaara.

Their eyes were filled with vigilance and anticipation, as if they couldn't wait to begin this important mission.

Nangong Yehua also stepped forward. His gaze lingered on Gaara for a moment before turning to Orochimaru.

"Are you sure there's no problem with doing this?" Nangong Yehua asked in a deep voice.

“Gaara is, after all, the host of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. Forcibly stripping him of his power could cause him irreparable damage.”

Asking for flowers

Orochimaru smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an unfathomable light.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, this is also a relief for Gaara. He no longer needs to suffer the pain and constraints brought by the power of Shukaku."

As night fell, the Akatsuki members, along with Nangong Yehua, quietly returned to the Akatsuki's base with the unconscious Gaara.

The base is situated in a desolate valley, surrounded by steep cliffs and dense forests, giving it a sense of isolation from the world.

Inside the base, dim lights danced in the corridors, illuminating the mottled stone walls and cold, hard metal fixtures.

A peculiar medicinal smell permeated the air, mixed with a faint stench of blood—a scent unique to the Akatsuki organization.

They placed Gaara in a specially made laboratory.

The laboratory was spacious, filled with various instruments and test tubes. In the center was a huge metal table covered with soft mats for placing Gaara.

Chapter 328 Let's peel off one of his tails and throw it in the cage.

Orochimaru slowly walked to the metal platform, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

He reached out and gently touched Gaara's forehead. A flash of light appeared, and Gaara's body was enveloped in a faint golden light.

This is Orochimaru's sealing technique, used to temporarily seal Gaara's consciousness to ensure he doesn't wake up during the process of stripping Shukaku of its One-Tailed Beast.

Next, Orochimaru began preparing the ritual to strip Shukaku of its One-Tailed Beast. He formed hand seals and chanted the ancient incantation "157".

As the incantation was performed, the air in the entire laboratory seemed to become heavy, and a powerful energy began to gather around Gaara's body.

The energy grew stronger and stronger, as if it were about to break through all constraints. Finally, with a deafening roar, the figure of Shukaku emerged from Gaara's body.

Its body was enormous and ferocious, and its pair of crimson eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if it wanted to destroy the entire laboratory.

However, Orochimaru was prepared. He waved his staff, and a beam of energy shot towards Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

Shukaku roared and swung its massive claws, attempting to block the beam of light. But its resistance seemed utterly futile in the face of such powerful energy.

After a fierce battle, Orochimaru finally managed to bind Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast.

Its form gradually shrank, eventually transforming into a dazzling bead that fell into Orochimaru's hand.

Although the process of stripping Shukaku of its tail was fraught with difficulties, it was ultimately successful.

Orochimaru looked at the bead in his hand and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He knew that this bead contained immense power and would become an indispensable part of the Akatsuki's future plans.

At this moment, Gaara was still lying unconscious on the metal platform.

His face was pale and haggard, as if he had just gone through a life-or-death battle.

Xiao Renzhong and Nangong Yehua surrounded him, watching him silently.

Then he had Shuiyue take him to the iron cage in the basement and lock him up.

Then everyone left the laboratory.

Inside the Akatsuki headquarters, the dim and mysterious lighting illuminated the serious and resolute faces of the members.

A tense yet expectant atmosphere filled the air, as if some major event was about to occur.

In the center of the hall was a huge round table, around which the members of the Akatsuki organization sat.

Their gazes were all fixed on the dazzling bead on the table—the sealed form of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, which had just been extracted from Gaara's body.

Everyone's face was filled with curiosity about the unknown and a desire for power.

Nangong Yehua sat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces before he slowly spoke:

"We have just successfully stripped Shukaku of its power, but the next question is, what should we do with these tailed beasts?"

The moment this question was raised, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became even more tense.

Everyone knows that the power of the tailed beasts is incredibly strong, but how to use this power correctly is a question that requires careful consideration.

Just then, a figure stood up from the crowd.

That was Ah Fei. He always appeared in front of people with a cynical attitude, but at this moment his eyes were unusually firm.

"I have a suggestion," Afei's voice echoed in the hall.

4. "We will gather the nine tailed beasts, summon the ten-tailed beast, and then use ninjutsu to bring peace to the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur of discussion arose in the hall.

Some people agreed with Afei's proposal, considering it a bold and imaginative plan;

Some people, however, have reservations, believing that the plan is too risky and that the consequences of failure would be unimaginable.

Chapter 329 Itachi: Where did you get your Susanoo?

Nangong Yehua did not immediately express his opinion. After pondering for a moment, he spoke:

“Afei’s suggestion is indeed very creative, but we need to carefully consider the risks and challenges involved.”

"The power of the nine-tailed beasts is immense, but are we capable of controlling them? Once we summon the ten-tailed beast, how can we ensure its power doesn't spiral out of control?"

These questions made the atmosphere in the hall even more tense.

Everyone understood that this was a crucial decision concerning the future of the Akatsuki organization, and there was no room for carelessness.

Ah Fei smiled slightly, seemingly having anticipated everyone's reaction:

"These problems are indeed critical, but I believe we have the ability to overcome them. We can use our wisdom and strength to find a way to control the tailed beasts."

"And once we successfully summon the Ten-Tailed Beast, its power will be at our disposal, giving us the ability to achieve true peace."

Afei's words made everyone fall into deep thought. They knew that this was a plan full of challenges and opportunities, requiring them to make tremendous efforts and sacrifices.

But they also understand that only in this way can they truly realize their ideal—world peace.

At this crucial moment, Nangong Yehua stood up. He looked around at everyone, then slowly spoke:

"Afei's proposal is worth discussing in depth. But before that, we need to make thorough preparations and plans. Let's work together to fight for the future of the Akatsuki!"

As Nangong Yehua finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became tense and full of anticipation once again.

As Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, the once quiet hall instantly became lively.

Although his voice wasn't loud, every word struck the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer.

"Nangong Yehua, I have a question." Uchiha Itachi stood up, his gaze sharp as he looked directly at Nangong Yehua, who sat at the head of the table.

"The Miyamoto Musashi you summoned is extremely similar to my Susanoo in both form and ability. Why is that?"

The hall was silent, and all eyes were on Nangong Yehua.

They knew that Itachi Uchiha's question was not unfounded, as Miyamoto Musashi's formidable strength had been fully demonstrated in previous battles.

The similarity of its features to those of Susanoo has raised questions.

Nangong Yehua was slightly taken aback, then sighed softly.

He did not answer Itachi's question immediately, but fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

After a while, he slowly spoke:

"This question actually involves some of my own secrets."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with anticipation.

They knew that what Nangong Yehua was about to reveal might be a major secret that could change the fate of the Akatsuki organization.

"Miyamoto Musashi's summoning was not due to my personal ability."

Nangong Yehua continued,

"This is a technique I acquired before, which allows me to communicate with the great deities of the underworld."

"We can summon powerful warriors from history and use their power to enhance our strength."

"Susanoo, on the other hand, is a secret ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan."

Nangong Yehua explained,

"It has some deep connection with Miyamoto Musashi's summoning technique."

"I don't know the specific reason either. But I think it might be because the two ninjutsu share some similarities."

Chapter 330: New Tasks at the Xiaozhi Meeting!

Although Nangong Yehua's explanation did not completely dispel Itachi Uchiha's doubts, everyone gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that were about to come.

The atmosphere in the hall became heavy again, as everyone pondered the impact of this new information on their future.

Uchiha Itachi gave Nangong Yehua a deep look, seemingly both satisfied with his answer and with a hint of doubt.

He knew that the secrets revealed by Nangong Yehua were only the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough for them to realize the potential and crisis of the Akatsuki organization.

Now that we know these things, we should be even more cautious.

Ah Fei's voice broke the silence.

"We must make sure that every step we take is prudent, so as not to fall into an irreversible situation."

Nangong Yehua nodded, agreeing with Afei's opinion.

He knew that every step he took next would have a profound impact on the fate of the Akatsuki organization.

Therefore, they must be fully prepared to deal with all possible situations.

"Then, let's discuss the specific plan."

Nangong Yehua stood up, looking at everyone with a firm gaze.

"We need to develop a detailed plan to ensure that we can effectively control the power of the Ten-Tailed Beast during the summoning process and prevent it from getting out of control."

for a long time

After the meeting ended, the atmosphere in the hall did not dissipate as everyone left. Instead, the moment the heavy stone door closed, it solidified into an indescribable sense of oppression.

Nangong Yehua stood still, his gaze deep, as if he could penetrate the layers of stone walls and look directly into the darkness outside.

He felt a wave of exhaustion, not only physically but also mentally.

He knew that the discussion had not made any substantial progress, but instead made the differences between the people even more obvious.

He sighed, turned and left the hall, walked through the long corridor, and randomly chose a room to go into.

The room was dark and quiet, with only the moonlight filtering through the curtains, casting dappled shadows.

Nangong Yehua didn't turn on the light. He walked to the bedside, slowly lay down, closed his eyes, and tried to calm his thoughts.

However, at that moment, the system inside his body suddenly emitted a mechanical voice, breaking the silence.

"Ding—A new mission has arrived."

Nangong Yehua suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

He sat up and looked around, but found nothing unusual. He frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising within him.

"System, what are you saying?"

he asked tentatively.

"Host, your next task is to collect the nine tailed beasts and fuse them into yourself to obtain the power of the Six Paths."

The system's voice sounded again, clear and firm.

Nangong Yehua's expression immediately turned serious. He knew what this mission meant.

The nine tailed beasts are legendary mysterious creatures with the power to destroy the world, while the power of the Six Paths (obtained by Li Zhao) is a legendary supreme power that can control life and death and transcend reincarnation.

This task presents both an opportunity and a challenge for him.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He knew that the most important thing now was to develop a detailed plan to ensure that he could successfully complete the task.
