Chapter 866

Uchiha Izuna walked step by step toward the Eight-Tails, the power of his Sharingan continuing to intensify; each curse the Eight-Tails spat out made him tighten his control further.

"Another damn Sharingan—why are there so many Sharingan around you, cute and beautiful Naruto-chan? I just want to go home, close my eyes, and sleep."

Kurama looked at the Eight-Tails' miserable state and couldn't help but recall how wretched he himself had once been.

"I agree with your point, but I also believe you wouldn't do such a thing…"

The gaze returned to Young Yuanzi.

Due to Jiraiya's words, the group adjusted their route slightly, bypassing a larger town that would have otherwise been on their path.

They chose instead to travel through the dense forest near the mountains; with Lin Cheng's Byakugan, getting lost was, of course, impossible.

"I've been asking you since earlier—just who are we looking for? There's a whole horde of people chasing us behind us!"

Young Yuanzi had obvious flaws in personality, so pronounced they could be called strikingly distinctive.

Because Xixi had already prepared Jiraiya in advance, this level of commotion fell within his acceptable range, so Jiraiya remained patient.

"We've already encountered the Mist Ninja—the intel leak is undeniable. I've done everything I could; seeking that person is for the next move—it's the best possible step I've taken!"

Jiraiya rubbed his nose; there was one thing he didn't say, only holding it inside: though this move carried a hint of diverting the danger eastward.
