Chapter 236: The Choice of Jinchūriki
“What is that? Space-time ninjutsu? Flying Thunder God?”

After witnessing Shiba Kiyokawa’s continuous slashing in Sage Mode, some of Orochimaru’s subordinates immediately thought of Flying Thunder God.

But then someone raised questions again.

“But I didn’t see him throwing a kunai, did I?”

Flying Thunder God needs at least one kunai as the coordinate to anchor the space, but the flash of Shiba Kiyokawa just now was really without any warning, which was beyond the cognition of all the ninjas present!

Those who were able to follow Rasa, Chiyo and others to participate in this decapitation plan were all the elite of the Sand Village.

Most of these people are elders in the village. Normally, they could not be invited just by relying on Luo Sha’s face. This time, they were summoned thanks to the two elders.

The result was all decided by a single blow in that instant!
Even though Shiba Kiyokawa came out of that state immediately afterwards, the shock it left behind was still unforgettable for everyone present.

Then Shiba Kiyokawa looked at Biwa Juzo, pointed at Luosha on the ground, and said, “This person can pan for gold and has some surplus value, so I’ll leave it to you from now on.

In a few days, Fengying Yecang will come to negotiate with you, and this person’s surplus value will also be included in the peace treaty.”

He knew that Biwa Juzang had just taken office, and he always needed to give some explanations to the villagers when he went out to do things.

Luo Sha was the explanation he specifically left for the Hidden Mist Village.

Since in the original work the Hidden Mist Village agreed to peace talks after accepting Ye Cang, it is natural that it can also be done now if it replaces it with Rasa.

Not to mention that a prisoner who can continuously create surplus value through gold mining is much more useful than an enemy hero who can only be killed to vent anger.

“Yes, I will follow your will.” Biwa Juzang nodded respectfully.

In the past, he would have needed to disguise himself a little in front of his subordinates in the village and show his dignity as a shadow.

Well, now, after Shiba Kiyokawa had shown off his strength at close range, he could finally be himself and no longer have to act.

Mei Terumi beside her looked at her Mizukage with a complicated expression and couldn’t help muttering in her heart.

Don’t be so impatient and look like you’re enjoying it!
However, Mei Terumi didn’t know that after witnessing Shiba Kiyokawa’s sudden outburst, the one who behaved most radically was not her own lackey, the Mizukage.

Instead, it was Sarutobi Shinnosuke who was hiding in the dark and was almost on the verge of taking action just now.

Just now, just now, he was just a little bit away from making up his mind to cooperate with Sunagakure!
After all, when Chiyo took out the puppet of the Third Kazekage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke really thought that they could take at least one or two people present with them before leaving!

Rasa had briefly served as the Fourth Kazekage, and Chiyo had brought out the Third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest Kazekage of all time. With the two Kazekage working together on the field, Shinnosuke felt that they should at least gain something, right?
Those are the two shadows and two elders!

In his mind, this is a luxurious lineup comparable to that of all the top leaders of Konoha.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they all became dead souls under the sword and prisoners with broken arms, and even the human puppet became the trophy of the Akatsuki organization.

He was so frightened that he ran away and never dared to show up again.

However, he didn’t know that a small snake had been secretly eyeing him. After he left, it had been swimming close to the ground, following him silently.

In the dark, there was a single eye hidden under the spiral mask that locked onto him tightly after he moved. The shuriken pattern in the eye socket was spinning wildly, and the aura around him was cold.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke’s performance further deepened Obito’s suspicion about the dark side of Konoha, who was observing secretly!
As for the last observer hiding in the dark, he was also one of the culprits who caused Chiyo and Ebizo to risk everything to carry out this plan: Black Zetsu. After seeing Shiba Kiyokawa’s performance, he was so scared that his whole body was shaking, and the two pitcher plants on his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.

“That’s… Sage Mode? How could he master something like that? It’s impossible!”

At this moment, Black Zetsu finally began to panic.

Because Shiba Kiyokawa now possesses the power that can really kill him! White Zetsu Afei asked him, “What should we do next? Should we go and retrieve the One-Tail, or retreat first?”

This time it was Black Zetsu and the others who suggested that Sand Village bring out Shukaku, the One-Tailed Fox.

At that time, they thought that if the operation went smoothly, they might have a chance to collect a tailed beast during the melee.

Unexpectedly, the expected melee never happened.

A long-planned mountain collapse cut off Sunagakure’s retreat, and then an outburst by Shiba Kiyokawa completely ended this farce.

This process was so fast! They had no time to plan, plot, or fish in troubled waters.

When the matter was done, the frightened Hei Jue could only think of one word.

“run!”

He used the Mayfly Technique without hesitation and retreated first, without even reminding Ah Fei to let the other party follow him.

Fortunately, Ah Fei had no intention of waiting for Black Zetsu’s answer. As soon as he asked the question, he had already sunk into the ground.

These two can be regarded as a pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, and they both stand out for being decisive in selling out their teammates.

But Shiba Kiyokawa had no intention of wasting time chasing after the two of them today.

The next moment, he and Orochimaru both looked at the last high-value target in the field – Shukaku, the One-Tail.

Shukaku, who was originally enjoying his time happily, patting his belly and playing with the sand, suddenly felt a chill for no reason.

It had always been regarded as a monster, but at this moment it suddenly felt a sense of panic for no reason.

Orochimaru looked at Shukaku calmly without looking back, but the questions he asked were directed directly at Shiba Kiyokawa.

“What are you going to do with this tanuki? It seems that you have killed the next Jinchuriki that Sunagakure was preparing for.”

Shiba Kiyokawa thought about it for a moment.

He wasn’t that enthusiastic about the power of the tailed beasts.

Moreover, these big guys are destined to be the focus of struggle in the future. In order to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi and restore the Divine Tree, the nine tailed beasts must be collected.

He still remembered that the original work seemed to say that the collection of the tailed beasts must be done in order, so the one-tail was destined to be the first signal for the beginning of the plot.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

Since it is to be used as a warning signal, it is certainly not convenient to keep it by your side, but it must be conspicuous enough to ensure that it can make a loud enough noise to let yourself know when someone is watching.

Then he decided –

“Orochimaru, go get Rinpoli.”

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at him, “Are you planning to use clones as Jinchūriki?”

Shiba Qinghe chuckled: “Her original body has been verified to have the qualifications to become a Jinchūriki, and she has received the tailed beast before. In this case, isn’t it a natural choice to let her be the Jinchūriki? What if we choose someone temporarily and she doesn’t have the qualifications?”

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Although what Shiba Kiyokawa said made sense, Orochimaru had a hunch: this must not be the real reason why the other party made this choice!
