Chapter 992

"There is no abnormality in the chakra fluctuations; this must be the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Karin spoke in a low voice. When facing Su Xiao, she couldn't help but feel intimidated.

Karin is a sensory-type ninja, which is the main reason why Sasuke did not believe Su Xiao's judgment. After the Taka team captured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, they immediately had Karin determine whether there were any abnormalities. The result was no abnormalities, only that because the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was severely injured, the chakra fluctuations in his body were relatively weak.

"The chakra fluctuations are too weak."

Obito reached out and grabbed the neck of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, lifting him up from the ground.

"He is severely injured, so weak chakra is normal..."

Crack!

Before Karin could finish her sentence, Obito directly twisted Killer Bee's neck.

For a ninja of Killer Bee's strength, having his neck twisted would not result in death in a short period of time. Moreover, both of Sasuke's subordinates had healing abilities.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Killer Bee. Sasuke's expression became even uglier.

Killer Bee's aura did not change in the slightest; it was still just as weak. It seemed that having his neck twisted had no effect on him at all.

The Sharingan Obito revealed narrowed, and a spatial vortex appeared. Inside the vortex was a strangling force. Sensing this fluctuation, Su Xiao immediately judged that Obito had already transplanted that Sharingan of Kakashi's.

Bang.

White smoke rose, and Killer Bee disappeared, replaced by an octopus tentacle nearly two meters long.

Facts proved that Sasuke had failed to capture Killer Bee and had even been led around by the nose by him.

It was no wonder Sasuke was tricked; this was his first time capturing a Tailed Beast, and he lacked experience. Added to the fact that Killer Bee's substitution was too realistic, even Kisame and Deidara, who had captured Tailed Beasts before, had failed to notice. Of course, this was related to the fact that the two of them were not sensory types.

"Hahaha."

Deidara laughed loudly, not caring at all about the gloomy-faced Sasuke.

"How could this be?"

Karin was somewhat incredulous. She had confirmed it multiple times and had failed to detect any abnormality in Killer Bee.

"Sasuke, you are still not mature enough."

There was no sense of reproach in Obito's tone; he was just stimulating Sasuke. He knew Sasuke's competitive personality all too well.

"Newcomer, the first thing you need to learn is to respect your seniors."

Kisame revealed his shark teeth. He had had an unpleasant encounter with Sasuke before, and because of Itachi, he paid more attention to Sasuke.

"Stop lecturing me."

Sasuke knew he was in the wrong. His first mission had failed, but it was impossible to make him admit his mistake. It should be said that Sasuke is worthy of being Sasuke.

"Kisame, you are responsible for capturing the Eight-Tails."

Obito did not pursue Sasuke's negligence, but secretly considered how to make this chess piece grow rapidly. This had to be approached from the aspect of hatred. Now, Sasuke's enemy is the Konoha high command.

"No problem."

Kisame agreed readily and stood up to walk out of the base. This is Kisame; he takes action immediately after receiving a mission.

"Deidara, you cooperate with Zetsu to find Konan. If Zetsu is exposed, you are responsible for covering his retreat."

"Am I an insurance policy, hmm?"

Deidara was still using that self-questioning and self-answering way of speaking.

"Bai Ye, you are responsible for the Nine-Tails. You have attacked Konoha and are relatively familiar with Konoha's barrier. If possible, do not capture the Nine-Tails near Konoha."

"Capturing the Nine-Tails is fine, provided he leaves Konoha. I cannot capture the Nine-Tails inside Konoha."

"That is also what I meant."

Obito finished arranging the general plan: Kisame captures the Eight-Tails, Su Xiao captures the Nine-Tails, Zetsu and Deidara are responsible for finding Konan, and Obito himself waits for an opportunity, ready to use his spatial ability to support Zetsu and Deidara at any time. If they want to find the Rinnegan, only he or Sasuke can take action. The Rinnegan is too critical, and the current Sasuke is not yet capable of handling such a major event.

While the Akatsuki organization was holding its meeting, in the Lei Zhiguo, Kumogakure.

Kumogakure was built among high mountains and steep ridges, and its location was a natural fortress. Because the resources of the Lei Zhiguo were somewhat barren, Kumogakure could not obtain much funding from the Lei Zhiguo's Daimyo office.

Having no other choice, Kumogakure had to find another way. They began to research technology, that is, the combination of ninjutsu and technology. Although they had not yet produced anything that shocked the ninja world, they had also developed many technological ninja tools.

The name Kumogakure did not come from thin air. In the early morning, the tallest buildings in Kumogakure were almost shrouded in clouds. This high-altitude terrain also caused the oxygen content in the air of Kumogakure to be relatively low.

It was unknown what race the residents of the Lei Zhiguo were; most of them had relatively dark skin. That was not pure black, but a deeper shade of wheat-colored skin.

The clouds and mist were blown by the breeze. At the highest point of Kumogakure, on an artificial mountain peak supported by metal frames.

At the top of the mountain, inside the Raikage's office, an angry roar came.

"Still haven't found Killer Bee's whereabouts? Are you all trash!"

Bang!

A crisp sound came, and wood chips flew. The Raikage's office was silent. Three Jonin were kneeling on one knee in front of the shattered desk.

Behind the desk, a strong man nearly two meters tall was breathing heavily. He was wearing a white robe with the character for "Lightning" on the back. This was the Fourth Raikage, A.

Just by standing there, the Fourth Raikage exerted a powerful sense of oppression. The three Jonin kneeling on one knee did not even dare to raise their heads.

"Lord Raikage, Killer Bee-sama he..."

Mabui, the Raikage's secretary, spoke from the side. She was a dark-skinned, white-haired beauty wearing a dark green hip-hugging skirt, holding a file in her hand.

The Fourth Raikage raised his hand, signaling Mabui not to speak for the time being. Mabui bowed and retreated.

"I'll give you two days. Use every method to find Killer Bee."

The Fourth Raikage issued an ultimatum. Killer Bee was not only the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki but also the Fourth Raikage's brother. Although the two had no blood relationship, they had lived and died together for many years, and their bond was even closer than that of biological brothers.

"Lord Raikage, this matter is somewhat complicated. According to known intelligence, the person who took Killer Bee is named Uchiha Sasuke, and he is wearing the iconic uniform of the Akatsuki organization. I am afraid this also involves the Akatsuki organization. According to what my subordinates know, the Akatsuki organization has already successfully captured seven Tailed Beasts. If we count Killer Bee-sama, then..."

The person who spoke was named Darui. He was also dark-skinned and white-haired, with a somewhat lazy expression, as if he couldn't take an interest in anything.

The Fourth Raikage was in a fit of rage, and even his secretary didn't dare to speak much, but Darui spoke at this time, and his words somewhat disagreed with the Fourth Raikage's point of view.

If anyone else dared to say that, they would nine times out of ten be glared at by the Fourth Raikage and then "kindly" told to get out.

Darui was different. If Killer Bee was the Fourth Raikage's right hand, then he was the Fourth Raikage's left hand. Not only that, the Fourth Raikage vaguely had the intention of cultivating Darui into the next Raikage.

"What do you mean?"

The Fourth Raikage temporarily put away the anger in his heart.

"Lord Raikage..."

Darui suddenly stopped speaking. The Fourth Raikage looked at Darui and then understood what he meant.

"You all go out first."

"Yes."

The three Jonin were as if granted amnesty. One of them secretly glanced at Darui, his eyes filled with gratitude. Darui lowered his eyelids and showed no reaction.
