Chapter 266: Cultivation

As soon as Ishihara returned to the Mist Village, he found that Mei Terumi was actually waiting there.

Upon seeing him, she immediately spoke anxiously:

"Ishihara, it's bad! Yagura is missing, and the Six-Tails has vanished as well!"

Now the Mist Village had turned into a complete mess.

Mei Terumi had no choice but to come seeking support.

Ishihara did not rush to explain; instead, he first summoned Orochimaru, then said to both of them:

"It can now be confirmed that the one who controlled Yagura back then was Uchiha Obito, a former disciple of the Fourth Hokage, and this time it is certain that Yagura was taken away by him!"

Orochimaru immediately knew who Obito was; after briefly explaining to Mei Terumi, he sighed:

"Who would have thought that the dead last from back then would become such a thorny existence."

Mei Terumi was filled with immense anger, her teeth gritted.

"Uchiha Obito, I will not let him go!"

"What about the Six-Tails? Could Obito have killed it too?"

Ishihara shook his head and said calmly, "I killed the Six-Tails!"

Mei Terumi looked at him in shock. "Why?"

Orochimaru, deep in thought, said, "Could this be related to the Akatsuki organization's plan to collect the Tailed Beasts?"

Over these years, his investigation into the Akatsuki organization had uncovered quite a bit of important intelligence.

Included among them was the Akatsuki organization's Tailed Beast collection plan.

Otherwise, the Akatsuki organization would not have actively approached him.

After hearing Orochimaru's explanation, Mei Terumi could not help but shake her head repeatedly.

"It's too insane; they actually want to collect all the Tailed Beasts to create a powerful weapon."

Ishihara did not tell the two the truth; instead, he said noncommittally:

"Regardless of their purpose, since they want to collect the Tailed Beasts, I will kill one to prevent their plan from succeeding."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's mouth twitched.

The Akatsuki organization's plan had indeed been thwarted, after all, no one knew how many years it would take to revive a Tailed Beast once it died.

But the ones who suffered the injury were their Mist Village!

However, she dared not say much more; she could only let the Mist Village swallow the bitter fruit.

Only this way, their Mist Village would have no Jinchuriki left, especially with Yagura's disappearance.

The entire Mist Village had reached an unprecedented stage of weakness.

If other ninja villages were to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just thinking about it made Mei Terumi feel a chill in her heart.
