Chapter 549: Lv.20

Entering the cave, the phantom of Pain (Deva Path) was already waiting inside.

"You are late."

Although the Deva Path was just a phantom formed by the Phantom Dragon Nine Consuming Seals technique, those Rinnegan eyes were soul-stirring.

"The Jinchuriki was unexpectedly strong."

Deidara's chest still felt a faint pain; he had been rushing the whole way and had no time to recuperate.

Rumble, the giant rock outside the cave fell, and it was somewhat pitch-black inside the cave.

"Let's begin."

Deva Path formed hand seals and signaled Su Xiao to place Gaara on the ground.

As Deva Path slapped the ground with one hand, an ominous fluctuation spread out.

Boom!

Dust surged, and a massive statue slowly rose from underground. This was the Gedo Mazo summoned by Deva Path.

The Gedo Mazo had nine eyes in total. It looked like stone overall, but in reality, it wasn't. The Gedo Mazo was composed of high-concentration chakra, chakra so dense it had solidified.

Two giant palms reached out from in front of the Gedo Mazo, with shackles at the wrists.

"Very well, gather."

Several phantoms appeared at the fingertips of the Gedo Mazo. These were the phantoms of Kisame, Itachi, and others; the members of the Akatsuki organization had been prepared for a long time.

Counting Su Xiao, Deva Path, and others, there were seven phantoms and three people in the cave.

Everyone stood on the fingertips of the Gedo Mazo, exactly ten positions.

Deva Path didn't seem to make any moves, but the shackles in front of the Gedo Mazo's mouth opened.

"From now on, this will last for three days. Everyone, pay more attention to your respective main bodies. Zetsu, have your main body arrive nearby as soon as possible to monitor the surrounding situation, use the move with the widest range."

"Understood."

After Deva Path gave the order, Zetsu's phantom closed its eyes, looking like it was obedient.

Black Zetsu hid very deeply. Although it had the most 'seniority', it usually didn't show any abnormalities.

After everyone was in position, emerald green light appeared on the fingers beneath the ten people. Different characters appeared in the light. The character beneath Su Xiao was 'Sky'.

"Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragon Nine Consuming Seals!"

Deva Path shouted lowly, and nine streams of chakra sprayed from the Gedo Mazo's mouth. These chakras formed dragon shapes, coiling around Gaara below.

Gaara's mouth opened wide, and the unique chakra of the Tailed Beast surged out from his facial features.

Su Xiao watched with his heart pounding. It wasn't because the scene was terrifying, but because he had absorbed a lot of Shukaku's chakra...

Facts proved that the Tailed Beast's recovery ability was very strong. Even though it had been devoured half-dead by Su Xiao, the current Shukaku had still recovered quite a bit of chakra.

Moreover, this wasn't extracting chakra now, but extracting the main body of Shukaku within Gaara.

"Hmm?"

Deva Path seemed to notice something unusual.

"The One-Tail is... thin and weak?"

Deva Path saw Shukaku's main body through the Rinnegan. He should have never seen the One-Tail, but the wilted appearance of the One-Tail made him suspicious.

"Thin and weak?"

Deidara clearly didn't know what was going on.

"Not clear."

Sasori hadn't directly participated in the battle to capture the One-Tail.

"Perhaps it was because I attacked too heavily before?"

Su Xiao of course had to muddle through. He had been in close contact with the Jinchuriki during the battle.

"Bai Ye, you captured the One-Tail Jinchuriki?"

"Yes."

"What was the situation at the time? Be specific."

Su Xiao described the situation at the time. Of course, what he described was an 'abridged version'.

"That's how it was. A type of light red chakra suddenly appeared, and there were faint shouts."

"What shouts?"

"Couldn't hear clearly, only heard something about sealing, not clear on the specifics."

Hearing Su Xiao's explanation, Deva Path nodded.

Although Pain, who controlled Deva Path, knew how to seal Tailed Beasts, each ninja village had various methods of sealing Tailed Beasts. There had long been rumors that the One-Tail Jinchuriki was very unstable. As for Su Xiao absorbing Tailed Beast chakra, Pain didn't think about it, nor would he care about this point.

"Forget it, the One-Tail can recover within the Gedo Mazo. As long as it is captured, it's fine. Perhaps the Sand Ninja Village strengthened the seal on the One-Tail."

Su Xiao had helped the Akatsuki organization capture the One-Tail. If Deva Path kept questioning, it would be a bit unreasonable.

The mission was just the Jinchuriki. Who stipulated it wasn't absorbing Tailed Beast chakra? Moreover, there were others in the Akatsuki organization who absorbed Tailed Beast chakra, such as Kisame.

Now Akatsuki's goal was to seal the One-Tail into the Gedo Mazo. Every time a Tailed Beast was sealed, one eye of the Gedo Mazo would open. The statue had nine eyes in total.

The Gedo Mazo was the shell of the Ten-Tails. After gathering all nine Tailed Beasts, the Ten-Tails would be resurrected. To be precise, the Nine-Tails was stripped from the Ten-Tails.

And the true face of the Ten-Tails was the God Tree, and the God Tree was the origin of chakra.

If Su Xiao could devour the Ten-Tails, the level of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying would increase significantly. Although this idea was very tempting, it could only be thought about.

The sealing of the One-Tail began, and it would take three days.

Su Xiao was actually just a bystander. The ring in his hand was the 'main body'. He just needed to stand there.

Su Xiao yawned and looked around. It could be seen that the others around were also very bored, but no one could move.

Hidan opposite was making faces, seemingly unable to be idle for a moment, while Deidara was tilting his neck, looking like he would fall off the Gedo Mazo's finger at any moment.

Kakuzu, Sasori, Itachi, Zetsu, Deva Path, and others were like old monks in meditation, eyes closed and motionless.

Kisame was a bit helpless; standing there like a fool could be said to be boring to the extreme.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is too boring."

The lively Hidan could no longer endure it and spoke first.

"Shut up."

Deva Path glanced at Hidan, and Hidan shut up resentfully.

The most carefree person present was our Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked at Itachi for a while, then at Hidan who was about to be 'bored to death'.

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wandered around, it began to observe Gaara. With Su Xiao there, other members of Akatsuki wouldn't say anything.

One hour later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also began to get bored and started exchanging glances with Hidan on the giant finger, seemingly wanting to communicate with Hidan.

After Hidan saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's gaze, he seemed to have discovered a new continent. He finally found a way to pass the time. These two lively treasures didn't know how they communicated, but before long they were getting along famously, making faces and playing happily. Kisame, who observed this scene, was trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Su Xiao didn't bother with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was teasing Hidan. That's right, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was just teasing Hidan.

Opening the skill list, Su Xiao checked the Green Qing Qing Gang Ying, which had reached Lv. 20. The attributes of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying had changed drastically.
