Chapter 294: Villages Converge on the Grass Ninja Village

After more than half an hour of testing, they discovered that this solid ice could not be broken!

Moreover, when they spoke outside, those inside could not hear anything at all.

It was equivalent to this person sealing himself away.

This left Naruto feeling both helpless and deeply confused.

Why did this guy attack them upon seeing them, and then seal himself away at the very end?

Truly a strange person.

"Forget it, Naruto, we still have a mission."

"Let's go find the leader of the Grass Ninja Village."

Kakashi said helplessly; they still had a mission and could not stay here forever.

After Kakashi and the others left, Haku did not emerge from the ice.

He could not guarantee whether this group would return, and besides, even if he wanted to emerge from the ice now, it would be extremely troublesome and require a great deal of time.

In fact, what Haku did was very correct.

Zetsu, hiding in the shadows, witnessed all of this.

He had originally planned to shout for the other members of the Akatsuki to come and eliminate Haku.

However, upon seeing Haku use this secret technique, he immediately gave up.

Forget it; with such a secret technique, they had no need to waste time on this.

Rather than wasting time here, it would be better to notify Obito.

Let Obito go find the other three Great Ninja Villages; the Nine-Tails is here!

And Shi Yuan's subordinates are here as well!

Presumably, those Ninja Villages must be very interested in these matters, right?

On the other side, in the Underworld, Shi Yuan once again sensed that there were no Reishi around.

This made him extremely displeased.

"This progress is far too slow; if it continues like this, it might take ten years to complete the Shinigami transformation?"

Shi Yuan pouted in dissatisfaction, then glanced at the Elder lying on the ground; he really was sleeping like a dead pig.

Just as Shi Yuan was about to take the Elder a little further forward, he suddenly sensed something was wrong!

The Reishi nearby seemed to be converging toward a single location!

It was as if someone, just like himself, was absorbing these Reishi.

This made Shi Yuan's expression turn to delight; could it be that he could solve some new secret once again?

Could it be that someone else here was absorbing Reishi, or that a new person was attempting to walk the path of the Shinigami?

Excited, Shi Yuan walked forward, but after taking two steps, he immediately realized something.

Something was wrong, very wrong; in the entire Underworld, logically, no one should be actively absorbing these Reishi.

Everyone should be passively absorbing them, just like the Elder at his feet.

Yet the amount of absorption outside was comparable to his own, or even stronger.

Could it be the Sage of Six Paths? Is the Sage of Six Paths also attempting the Shinigami transformation?

Shi Yuan was immediately startled by his own thought; if it were truly so...

Then the Sage of Six Paths would certainly become his enemy, and a very dangerous one at that!

Thinking this, Shi Yuan immediately felt a sense of urgency.

The Sage of Six Paths must have encountered these Reishi before him; no one knew how far the other had progressed.

He must accelerate his progress!

He could not just keep absorbing Reishi; the Reishi around was simply too scarce.

No matter how hard he tried to absorb, the quantity was always limited.

Thus, Shi Yuan began to study the function of Reishi.

He prepared to study techniques and secret arts derived from Reishi and Reiryoku!

Just as Shi Yuan began his research, the Sage of Six Paths happened to glance at him.

"This fellow, after failing to absorb Reishi, has turned to studying instead?"

"Truly a fellow with terrifying talent; fortunately, I sealed the time in that space of his."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before this fellow surpassed me, right?"

"No, I must accelerate the Shinigami transformation!"

The Sage of Six Paths also sensed the urgency of time.

Originally, he would transform for a while, then rest for a while; now, he will fully commit to the Shinigami transformation!

In the following days, massive turmoil erupted throughout the entire Ninja World.

The three Great Ninja Villages all marched toward the Grass Ninja Village.

First, there were many members of the Immortal Organization in the Grass Ninja Village.

As long as they captured the members of the Immortal Organization, it would mean obtaining countless secret techniques.

Secondly, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was there!

Although they did not know what the Hidden Leaf Village was thinking, if they could capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, it would add considerable combat power to their village!

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki, led by Obito and others, mobilized in full force.

In a short time, they gathered all the Tailed Beasts that were scattered abroad.

They now only had the two most difficult Tailed Beasts to deal with, and one whose head had not yet been revived!

They were the Eight-Tails, the Nine-Tails, and the Six-Tails!

And after Kakashi learned that the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki was in the Grass Ninja Village, he decisively contacted the Leaf Village and requested reinforcements.

Thus, the powerful figures of the entire ninja world flocked toward the Grass Ninja Village.

And those Grass Ninja Village ninjas, who had originally been arrogant and domineering, all turned into well-behaved children.

There was truly no choice but to be well-behaved; the weakest combat power from another village was already the strongest combat power of their own village.
