Inside the cave shrouded in candlelight, a huge stone altar was built in the center.
The pale blue hemisphere barrier covers the entire edge of the altar, completely separating the 'inside' and 'outside' spaces.
On the altar, there are also a large number of tadpole-like black runes engraved on it, extending to all edges of the altar, giving people a sense of mystery.
Then, a rumbling sound came from the altar. It was a giant beetle with a dark blue body, six wings and a tail.
Judging from the streamlines of the body and the blue metallic luster reflected on the shell, the sturdiness of its body is extraordinary.
A monster of this size seems to have not been completely released, but it is already the size of a small mountain.
A wriggling mouthpart full of sharp teeth stood out on its face, and its entire body was filled with a violent and bloodthirsty desire.
It used its wings to fan the strong wind, and used the power of the wind to fly freely in the air. Then it leaned down and used the huge hard horn on its head to charge at the ninja below.
The sealing altar built with special materials cracked from the middle and could not withstand the ferocious impact of the giant beast's hard horn.
Pieces of gravel flew around, mounted on the inner wall of the barrier, and then fell to the ground.
The dust rolled up, and the ferocious and huge beast was roaring loudly, looming in the smoke.
The roar shook the heavens and the earth.
"With this level of sealing, it's really impossible to restrain the tailed beast..."
The red-haired woman, who was good at sealing techniques, looked at the behemoth beast that kept running rampant with a slight headache.
Although the sealing runes were not damaged, the entire terrain of the altar was destroyed in an instant. With this level of impact, a ninja would have to use a very large range of destructive ninjutsu to create such an impact. movement.
The tailed beast only needs to use its huge body and slam into it hard to cause such destructive power.
From this point of view, comparing regular ninjas and tailed beasts, it is impossible for the two to be on the same level.
Being able to become the 'ultimate weapon' of the five great ninja villages, the power of the tailed beast is definitely not weak.
Except for ninjas of the Five Kage's level, no ninja can ignore the destructive power of tailed beasts.
Even the Five Shadows can only rely on sealing techniques to deal with the tailed beasts. The third generation Raikage seems to be the only one who has relied on the brute strength of his body to fight and knock down the tailed beast. So far, he seems to have died on the battlefield.
The moment his body leaped backwards, golden chains extended from his back, surging and flying like a long snake, wrapping around the body of the giant beetle.
The giant beetle seemed to have sensed it, and raised its head slightly. The wings on its back flapped again, whipping up a violent hurricane. Its body floated upwards, and it was about to break through to the top of the cave.
Boom!
The tentacles were the first to hit the barrier on the inner wall of the barrier. The giant beetle shuddered, probably thinking of the buzzing vibration in its head, and fell down.
But there was also a slight crack on the inner wall of the barrier.
"Obito!"
The red-haired woman saw this scene and shouted loudly to the young man in the distance, using the shortest message to convey the most direct order.
"Understood! Leave it to me, Captain Kiriko!"
Obito had been waiting for this moment. The three magatama sharingan in his right eye retracted slightly, and then a wonderful power was injected into the eye, and the three magatama sharingan immediately underwent earth-shaking changes.
It turned into a kaleidoscope pattern with more complex and mysterious patterns.
Obito had a confident smile on his face, a hedgehog hairstyle, and his hair was swaying in the wind. He stood steadily in the middle of the storm, completely ignoring the pressure put on him by the giant beetle.
The Sharingan is the ultimate observation eye and genjutsu eye.
Seeing through the enemy's every move and finding the right opportunity to issue hypnotic suggestions is the Sharingan's specialty.
The Mangekyo Sharingan, which is superior to the ordinary Sharingan, is naturally more powerful at the level of performing illusions.
When the giant beetle failed to hit the inner wall of the barrier and fell down, Obito used his Mangekyō Sharingan to perfectly connect with the opponent's line of sight.
This is the trouble with the Sharingan, it must rely on the eyes to release the genjutsu.
For the same reason, the other party also needs to have normal vision.
Therefore, for those ninjas who can fight with their eyes closed, or who are blind, the illusion of Sharingan is of no use.
The moment their eyes met, the giant beetle's body was obviously shaking even more violently.
The huge, squirming mouthpart wanted to spit out something, but was suppressed by the Sharingan Eye Technique. After falling to the ground and kicking up dust, the body twitched and twitched, as if trying to break through the eyes that covered the entire body. The oppressive force of the environment.
For tailed beasts, there are three things they hate the most.
One is the sealing technique.
One is the Sharingan.
The last one is the Wood Release Ninjutsu of the First Hokage.
These three powers are like the natural enemies that restrain the tailed beasts, allowing many ninjas who are far weaker than the tailed beasts to fight the tailed beasts head-on without showing any weakness.
Now there is no wood escape power here, but there are two conditions for sealing and sharingan.
Moreover, the power of sealing techniques and sharingan is beyond conventional sealing techniques and sharingan.
Specifically used to seal tailed beasts, the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique, King Kong Blockade.
The Mangekyō Sharingan, which is superior to the Three Magatama Sharingan.
Faced with the joint suppression of the two forces, even the tailed beasts can only end up in despair.
Feeling the unyielding will coming from the giant beetle, the red-haired woman Kiriko Uzumaki tied its body with golden chains one after another, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are too careful, Captain Kiriko. As long as my Sharingan is here, Nanao cannot make any big waves."
Obito walked to Kiriko's side and looked up at the huge body of the seven-tailed beetle.
This size is really exaggerated. It looks a bit small from a distance. When you look closely at it, the tailed beast feels even bigger.
"The opponent is a tailed beast, so it's better to be safe. Moreover, your Mangekyō Sharingan cannot be maintained for a long time, otherwise it will cause damage to your eyes and body."
Kiriko shook his head and used Vajra Blockade and Sharingan to suppress Nanao, just to be on the safe side.
"I'm already strong."
Obito was slightly dissatisfied.
"But I can only hold on for a few minutes at a time, and then I wilt."
"..."
Although Obito knew that Kiriko was talking about his Mangekyō Sharingan, why did he always feel that something was not right?
Could it be that there is another metaphor?
"Besides, you don't want anything to happen to Lin."
Wuzi used his big killer weapon.
According to Shiraishi, as long as you take out Lin's secret weapon, you can control everything about Obito.
Although the eyes are extremely gifted, the structure of the head is also extremely simple and simple.
He is the kind of neurotic ninja who will make the same mistake countless times in a row and make the same mistake again and again.
I always feel that it doesn't really match Uchiha's style of painting.
Among the Uchiha people Kiriko knows, the men of the Uchiha clan are all handsome guys with deep thoughts and serious and handsome faces.
This made Kiriko subconsciously ignore Obito's identity as a ninja of the Uchiha clan many times, which made her quite distressed.
Sure enough, after sacrificing Rin as a murder weapon, Obito had nothing to refute.
"Speaking of which, is Lin okay in there?"
Obito thought of something and looked at Nanao with some worry - or rather the girl inside who always made him bump into each other.
"It's okay. When her life is in danger, Lin will cut off the entanglement with the Nanao. Our job is just to suppress the leaked tailed beast chakra... However, the recent battle seems to be getting more and more intense. It seems perfect The jinchūriki's training has reached its most critical moment."
These are just words to comfort Obito.
Kiriko is not a jinchuriki, so naturally he doesn't know what level of danger a jinchuriki will encounter when he practices perfect jinchūriki.
No matter what happens, it won't be easy.
Otherwise, in the ninja world, there would not be only a few jinchuriki who could become perfect jinchuriki.
"It's better to end this dangerous practice as soon as possible."
Obito took out a bottle of eye drops from his pocket and used it on his right eye.
While he was instilling eye drops, something happened to Nanao over there.
The huge beetle, sealed by the golden chakra chain, suddenly released dark red chakra airflow, spreading irregularly in the air.
The size of the beetle began to shrink significantly, turning from a substantial body into a solid dark red chakra, with seven dark red tails swaying behind its back.
Immediately, the size began to decrease again, and the seven dark red tails disappeared behind him, turning into the size of a normal human body.
It can be seen that after Nanao's huge body is reduced, it is the size of a girl with short brown shoulder-length hair. This girl is Lin.
He seemed to be completely unconscious, fell to the ground and fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Lin!"
Obito ran over anxiously to check on Lin's condition.
Kiriko shook his head and said, "Obito, I leave it to you to send Lin to the infirmary. I want to report the situation here to Lord Shiraishi."
After saying that, she formed a seal with her hands, and the blue barrier surrounding the huge altar faded in color, then turned invisible and disappeared into the air.

"Lord Shiraishi."
Outside the door, Wuzi's voice sounded.
"Please come in."
After getting the order, Wuzi walked in and found that besides Shiraishi, there was another person in the office.
He was an ordinary middle-aged man in every sense of the word, but just such a man made Wuzi feel a bone-chilling sense of danger.
This kind of person is probably a ninja living in the 'darkness'.
"I already know the general outline of the matter, so just keep it as it is."
Shiraishi glanced at Kiroko who came in, and then turned his gaze back to the man at the table.
"yes."
"Red Shadow needs to give you a little more trouble. Although his strength is outstanding, his experience is still a little lacking. I'm begging you, Ugly Cow."
"yes."
It seems that he only speaks such words, and the title 'Ugly Cow' is a code name, not the man's real name.
After receiving the accurate order, the man nodded silently and walked out the door.
It wasn't until the man left the office that Wuzi looked back.
Bear country? Wuzi's heart moved.
The military of the Country of Ghosts is indeed covetous of the land of the Country of Bears, and it had already begun planning for that land a few years ago.
This man is probably the espionage officer in charge of things in the Bear Country.
However, due to the different things assigned to him, Wuzi didn't know how far the plan from the Bear Country had progressed.
Her current task is to assist Nohara Lin in completing the training of a perfect Jinchuuriki, and she does not need to consider other things.
"How's it going over there Lin?"
Shiraishi asked straight to the point.
There was only one thing that Kiriko came to find out about him, and that was Rin's perfect jinchūriki's training status.
"The tailed beast's burst of power is gradually increasing, and now it has reached a critical moment."
Kiroko answered truthfully.
"In other words, are you still in a confrontation?"
"Yes."
"It seems that the cultivation of a perfect Jinchuuriki is more difficult than imagined."
According to Yagura, who figured out his own path to the perfect Jinchuuriki, it took him a long time to get the approval of the Three-Tails and become the perfect Jinchuuriki.
Strength and recognition are indispensable.
And none of these things are easy to do.
What's more, the tailed beast hates humans so much that it really can't be revealed for ten days and ten nights.
The first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, was 'given away' to the major ninja villages like goods for free, which completely humiliated the tailed beast's self-esteem.
It was also after that that the tailed beasts' disgust and hatred for humans reached its peak.
For decades, only Kirabi from Kumogakure and now Mizukage, the fourth generation of Mizukage in Kirigakure, have become perfect jinchūriki and settled their differences with the tailed beasts.
The first two generations of Jinchuuriki in Konoha, Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kushina wanted to get back together with the Kyuubi, and the results can be imagined.
If you can't become a perfect Jinchuuriki, it will actually be a waste of tailed beast resources, and sometimes it will become a drag on the shinobi village.
"Obito and I can only suppress the tailed beast chakra that leaked out during Lin's training. In this matter, we still have to rely on Lin herself."
Wuzi knew this very well.
When Lin enters the spiritual space and performs perfect Jinchuuriki training, the tailed beast's chakra will spread on Lin's body, transforming into a tailed beast and going on a rampage.
The higher the level of rage, the more dangerous the battle Lin encounters.
Another point is that Lin's combat ability is very weak.
Kirabi of Kumogakure, before becoming a Jinchuriki, was a genius ninja of Kumogakure Village. While practicing the Perfect Jinchuuriki, he also completed the accumulation of strength, and his will to fight was very high.
Not to mention Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, before he became a Jinchūriki, he was the leading elite Jonin in Kirigakure Village. His strength was superior to any of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and was almost second only to the Third Generation. One of Kirigakure's strongest ninjas, Beneath the Mizukage.
In comparison, Lin's combat ability is still too immature, and all she has learned are support ninjutsu.
Even if he has initially mastered senjutsu, the things he learns are mainly medical ninjutsu.
Competing alone with the tailed beast in the spiritual space is inherently at a disadvantage.
"Anyway, do your best. If you have any needs, just ask."
"Not yet. I don't think I need any other props to assist."
"That's right. So let's do it. Please worry about it a little more."
Shiraishi nodded.
"This is what I should do... Speaking of which, has Bear Country's plan been launched smoothly?"
Now the Uzumaki clan has been completely integrated into the system of the Kingdom of Demons.
Every member of the Whirlpool clan who has regained a new life knows how pitiful it is to be weak.
In this world, everything is false, and only the power in your hands is real.
If the Uzumaki clan could have possessed the terrifying power of Konoha, the country of Uzumaki would not have been destroyed, and a large number of sealing techniques documents would have been robbed by outsiders.
Even Konoha, a close ally, can be said to be desperate.
After all, the Country of Whirlpool was a neighbor of the Country of Fire, and it met its demise under Konoha's nose.
This kind of thing, what role Konoha played in it, is a pain point that every Uzumaki clan member cannot erase, and it is also something that they dare not think about deeply, because it is too scary to think about it.
"So far it's been going smoothly without any major setbacks. As long as we can capture the Star Ninja Village, annexing the Bear Country won't be a big worry."
The difficulty of the plan is how to complete this series of annexation plans without attracting the attention of the five major powers.
This is also the fundamental reason why after the military meeting, the Star Ninja Village must be operated on first.
It is unrealistic to eat the bear country in one fell swoop. It is the right approach to eat it slowly.
It is precisely for this reason that the official actions of the Daimyos of the Bear Country are needed to protect their actions in the Bear Country.
Poor information is an extremely fatal thing in war.
"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance."
"I hope so. After all, this is the first operation. I don't want to put too much pressure on the members lurking in the Bear Country."
Shiraishi smiled slightly and accepted Kiroko's congratulations calmly.

"This is troublesome."
Hongxing, who returned to his residence, thought about the current situation for a while and felt that things were a bit beyond his expectations.
His original intention was to personally deal with the third generation Hoshikage and then completely take control of the Hoshi Ninja Village.
But with the help of the Daimyo of the Bear Country, after he met with the unknown ninja named Akei, he knew that the Daimyo of the Bear Country seemed to have other considerations.
However, it is obviously very unwise to break up with the Daimyo of the Bear Country at this time.
Even if he takes control of the Star Ninja Village, he still cannot antagonize the powerful people of the Bear Country.
The force in the hands of these guys is limited, but they are by no means a group of beings who can stumble at will.
A stable bear country is more conducive to the development of ninja villages.
After all, he is not very good at handling political matters, and these people are needed to maintain the stability of the country.
However, the basis of all this is that only after he controls the Star Ninja Village can he be qualified to negotiate with the dignitaries of the Bear Country and distribute benefits.
Without a certain status and a weapon like Ninjamura in hand, it would be impossible to sit at the same table and negotiate with them.
This is the reality that exists in the ninja world today.
In this matter, the Daimyo of the Bear Country is in an advantageous position, and he cannot lose the Daimyo's orthodox nominal support.
In this case, there is only one way to solve this matter.
After Hongxing figured this out, he started packing his things at his residence. In fact, he just carried a few scrolls with him, and walked out the door.
Walking outside the door, a waiter was waiting there. When he saw Hongxing coming out, he respectfully came up and asked, "What are your orders, sir?"
Hongxing pondered for a moment and said to the waiter: "Please tell the daimyo that the Hoshi Ninja Village is busy with affairs, so I won't stay here any longer."
He knew that the waiters serving him here were all close associates of the Daimyo of the Bear Country, and his every move here was being monitored.
"Sir, walk slowly along the way."
"Well, you've worked hard these past few days."
Hongxing nodded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
The waiter glanced at Hongxing's leaving figure, turned around and left towards another exit of the courtyard, heading to the daimyo to report Hongxing's departure.

night.
Red Shadow is sticking to his post and secretly protecting the safety of Princess Zhuji.
The other party was already asleep, and the only sound of the other party's breathing could be heard in the room. He was probably having a sweet dream at the moment.
She is really a greenhouse princess living in a peaceful environment. Chi Ying secretly thought.
These days, he has been secretly protecting the princess and has some understanding of her temperament.
She was born into a noble family, but she is a young girl full of kindness and pure heart.
I have never seen all kinds of ugliness in the world, just like a white lotus that is not stained by dust.
It seems to have gathered all the beautiful things in the world.
This kind of beautiful thing that is not tainted with any darkness is undoubtedly a dazzling existence for Chiying.
Rich and poor, noble and humble, they are two people in completely different worlds.
As long as you complete the mission here, you will probably never meet again in your lifetime.
There is nothing to regret about this kind of thing. All he wants in his heart is to continuously hone his talents, perfectly complete any tasks assigned by the adult, and eventually become a shadow behind the adult.
In view of this, he will protect the princess seriously.
As long as the princess is protected, the Daimyo of the Bear Country will be satisfied. If the Daimyo of the Bear Country is satisfied, he will be reused. Being important to the Daimyo of the Bear Country means that he is getting closer and closer to the success of his plan.
Night is a very dangerous time, and some dark figures are already preparing to move in the dark.
Chiying sat on the roof and looked up at the moon in the sky, which was emitting a beautiful white light.
The breeze is gentle, giving people a pleasant feeling.
Suddenly, Chiying sensed something and turned his head to look at an inconspicuous small courtyard of the huge daimyo mansion.
The sound of "moo" and "moo" came to my ears.
And it passed through the air to his ears accurately.
Chi Ying did not hesitate, he took the lead with both hands, and a shadow clone immediately appeared next to him.
Chi Ying nodded to the shadow clone, and then quickly rushed towards the source of the sound using the teleportation technique.
In an inconspicuous dark courtyard, there is a long-dilapidated courtyard of the daimyo mansion. Very few people come here on weekdays. Only the servants from the mansion come here every month to clean it.
After Chiying arrived here, he saw a man's figure standing in the center of the yard.
The other person was a middle-aged man with a very ordinary face. His nails were cracked, and there were many calluses on his fingers and palms. He looked honest and honest, like a farmer.
However, Chi Ying knew that the other party was indeed a farmer who did not know a few Chinese characters.
"Ugly cow."
Chi Ying called out this man's code name.
"Exchange information now."
Chou Niu is concise and concise, and he is not a person who likes to talk.
Take the scroll out of your pocket.
Without any nonsense, Chiying took out a scroll from his arms and exchanged it with the information scroll in Chou Niu's hand.
The exchange of scrolls was completed, and when Ugly Niu was about to continue saying something, suddenly an explosion that shook the earth sounded in another courtyard of the mansion.
Chou Niu and Chi Ying turned to look at the same time.
The explosion and burning fire gave rise to a terrifying phantom, devouring all around like a whale.
