Forced to sell misery

It's raining.

The falling water drops left deep and shallow marks on the ground, which then quickly disappeared, like a fleeting illusion, but left a real coolness.

The rain in midsummer always comes quickly and suddenly, which is unreasonable.

"Lord Jingye."

A folding umbrella was held above his head. Jing Ye turned his head to look at Kimimaro who was holding the umbrella for him and left himself exposed to the rain. He sighed, "Thank you, but you don't have to do this."

"Does Lord Jingye like to get caught in the rain?"

“No…” Jing Ye was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little confused. “I can’t say I like it, but I don’t hate it either.”

Rain always gives people a sense of loneliness and tragedy, making it impossible for people to feel happy.

"Getting wet in the rain is not good for your health, Jing Yejun." A hoarse voice said with emotion

"Long time no see, Kisame." Jing Ye came back to his senses, looked at the tall man in front of him who was soaked by the rain, and said indifferently, "You like rainy days."

"Well, I'll feel freer after all."

"Even if it's just an illusion deliberately created to seduce people."

"Who knows?"

"That's really a shame."

Listening to these ambiguous words, Kimimaro always felt that there was something behind them. He looked at Jing Ye hesitantly, but still remained silent.

"Does Pain or Madara have any new mission?" Jing Ye asked casually.

Speaking of which, Obito hasn't been around in front of him for a long time.

"Almost," Kisame said vaguely.

"Speaking of this, I'm a little curious..." Jing Ye stopped and raised his eyes slightly to look at Kisame, "Who are you loyal to, Pein or Madara? This is not a question that can be perfunctorily answered with a simple answer."

Kisame remained silent, staring at Jingye, and was surprised to find that after the dangerous blood-red background was hidden, the eyes were dark and clear. They were not sharp, but seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Turning his eyes away without leaving a trace, Kisame looked around and said, "Let's go."

"If it's not just any person, then it's better to be true to your heart."

Without getting an answer, Jing Ye continued talking.

"It's really interesting. Unfortunately, not everyone has the powerful eye power like you, Jing Yejun, to be able to distinguish the real from the fake."

"That's really sad."

Although he was expressing regret, Jing Ye's tone was playful and indifferent.

Who said Kisame is easy to fool? This attitude of stealing concepts and playing Tai Chi is quite pleasing... Jing Ye secretly complained, and felt a little depressed. Or is it that he is not suitable for fooling people at all... Oh no, he is a person who can talk?

The "red ring" on the ring finger of his right hand felt a little hot. Was it Payne's call? It was at this time... Jing Ye closed his eyes, turned on the slide body, and his consciousness "thought body" appeared in the cave.

"What a rare gathering." Scorpion said meaningfully in his usual hoarse voice, looking in Jing Ye's direction with an unfriendly look.

However, with the blurry chakra illusion, nothing could be seen, but Kisame gave him a look in return.

Scorpion's eyes darkened.

"Is there something wrong?" Kakuzu was in a hurry to get the body to the gold exchange office. If it was left for too long, the smell would be unbearable for him.

"So you're in a hurry to exchange money again, you bastard. I'm not going to such a smelly place!" Feiduan protested strongly, not noticing the stiff atmosphere at all.

"Shut up."

"No, I really can't stand you..."

"court death?"

"Just in time. It's been a while since I've had blood to satisfy the Evil God. Yours might be good!"

"Alright, settle your issues privately." Payne spoke, glancing coldly at the two of them.

"whispering sound."

Although he was unwilling, Hidan still calmed down. Scorpio also withdrew his gaze.

"The current mission has been completed well..."

Listening absentmindedly, Jing Ye nervously clasped the hot ring on his finger.

"What's wrong, Suzaku, what do you think?"

"Well," Jing Ye raised his eyes and looked at Payne, "It doesn't matter, just follow the original way."

"..." After a strange silence, Payne looked away, "Xiaonan, you make the arrangements."

As long as he pretends to be calm enough, he can pretend to be listening carefully...

Jing Ye lowered his eyes feeling a little guilty. Payne was not easy to deal with... He hoped that he was just overthinking it.

Konoha, the Forest of Death.

"Listen carefully, little ghost. If it goes berserk to this extent, it can only be sealed."

"But..." Gaara still had some concerns.

"If you don't want to die here," Shukaku said impatiently, "just do it."

"I understand." Gaara made the 'end' seal, "Desert layer, mass burial!"

"stop!"

The wooden branches came windingly and instantly clamped Gaara tightly in place.

Wood escape?

With his eyes flickering, Gaara looked at the person who came, "Who are you?"

The wooden walls around him were peeled off by the storm caused by the tailed beast's chakra, revealing the man's outer robe that was torn to pieces by the wind.

Wearing a strange mask... Is he an Anbu from Konoha?

With his fingertips slightly curled by the Wood Release technique, Gaara looked at the person who came thoughtfully - should he be killed?

All in all... among the two runaway tailed beasts, there is still one that remains rational... although it is not the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Yamato, who came to the rescue with a group of Anbu, choked for inexplicable reasons and ignored Gaara's question... The most urgent thing is the Nine-Tails, Nine-Tails!

Because of the rampage of the four-tailed beast at the Uchiha Shrine a few years ago, he had practiced the Wood Release technique to restrain the tailed beasts at the instruction of the higher-ups... Unexpectedly, in just a few years...

Now is not the time to think about these things... Giving Gaara a wary look, Yamato concentrated his mind, put his hands together, and made a seal, "Hokage-style ear-observing technique."

The Za technique appeared on the palm of Yamato's right hand, and with the help of Wood Release, Yamato approached the runaway Nine-Tails with difficulty. While rushing forward, he pressed his sorcerer's palm on Naruto's chest.

His palm was instantly burned by the Nine-Tails' chakra. Yamato's face twisted and he jumped away instantly after the technique was formed.

At the same time, wooden stakes rose from the ground, trapping the four-tailed demon fox inside, and absorbing the Nine-tailed Chakra through the sorcerer's connection.

"What's going on...you," Yamato breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gaara beside him. In an instant, all the conspiracy theories made his expression complicated.

"I just want to help him," Gaara raised his eyes, "He and I are the same."

Facing Gaara's dark golden eyes, Yamato felt absurd. "I know..." He tried to say something with difficulty, "But,"

"That is..." As the Nine-Tails' chakra was continuously absorbed by the Wood Release Technique, the scarlet chakra dispersed a little, revealing a hint of deep blue inside.

"Uchiha Sasuke?!" Yamato was suddenly stunned and screamed.

What is going on? !

Just as he wavered, the four-tailed demon fox trapped in the wooden cage...that is, Naruto, raised his hand tremblingly and grasped the wooden stick that pierced his chest to absorb chakra.

“How could this be…” Yamato was shocked.

"Come back..."

The Wood Release was shattered by the sudden surge of chakra, and the vague voice that was almost inhuman was like crying. The shadow of the fifth tail had already appeared!

"Step aside!"

The dark gold light in his eyes surged, and Gaara instantly broke free from the restraints of Wood Release. Violet lines were running on his tailed beast-transformed body.

The sand waves surged up, pushing Yamato away, and at the same time wrapped around Naruto who was about to transform into the Five-Tails, forming a huge "cocoon".

Yamato rolled a few times on the sand, got up, gritted his teeth and made a seal—

"Wait!" When Gaara turned around, it was too late. Several wooden thorns condensed by Wood Release pierced through the surface sand and pierced into the cocoon.

"The person inside is Uchiha Sasuke, at least..." While fighting against the Nine-Tails' Chakra and the hurricane and sand waves, Yamato's chakra was consumed at an extremely terrifying rate, and in a moment his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Do not……"

However, it was too late to stop it... Naruto was instantly enraged, the fifth tail instantly solidified, and the five-tailed demon fox let out a fierce howl towards the sky!

The dark and scarlet energies continued to gather and merge...emitting terrifying fluctuations.

"… Tailed Beast Ball?!"

All the extended Wood Release techniques were shattered in an instant, and Yamato's eyes widened.

At the moment when the bloodshot vision was almost submerged in endless darkness, rolling sand flow swirled up, quickly wrapped around the outside, and rushed outward with the "cocoon" as the center. In just a few seconds, the entire forest was turned into a desert.

The moment everyone was buried in the sand, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded.

At this point, the entire Death Forest, along with the surrounding area of ​​several miles, was blown into a huge crater.

"Captain Yamato..." Dozens of Konoha Anbu who came to support and reinforce were first hit in the face by the Tailed Beast Tathagata and then crushed by the sandstorm. They climbed up in a daze and looked at the bombing site in front of them. They almost couldn't catch their breath and were nearly choked to death by the sand.

"Escape...leave here..." The mask was blown into pieces. Yamato crawled up with blood on his face and shouted at the back at the top of his lungs.

“…Run?” Several people stared at the eye of the storm formed by the red chakra behind Yamato—there was another Tailed Beast Ball condensing in it—

Where else can I escape to?

Is this really the limit...

Gaara was half-kneeling in the sand, blood mixed with sweat dripping into the sand, leaving deep and shallow marks.

The half seal and the sand waterfall that blocked the Tailed Beast Ball almost drained all of his chakra... Only the sand with the familiar smell of blood gathered around him.

"Mother, mother..."

His trembling fingers sank into the sand, and Gaara's vision was obscured by layers of sand.

The sand was protecting him...always and always.

Faintly, amid the rustling of the flowing sand, he heard the sound of wooden clogs.

A white shadow flashed by suddenly——

Yamato felt a sudden pain in his back, and was pressed down by a huge force, falling headfirst into the sand.

A second before he lost consciousness, he heard the surprised shouts of his colleagues who came to reinforce him not far behind him but were actually sending themselves to death.

"That's...Jiraiya-sama?!"

The man who came had unruly long white frizzy hair, a greasy forehead and a stern face. Although he looked reliable, his style was unruly. He jumped over by stepping on Yamato's back.

At the same time, a bloody mouth suddenly appeared behind the stunned Anbu members and swallowed them into its stomach.

"Quack." The toad, which was too big, was not very satisfied with the "food" that it had swallowed into its mouth but could not swallow. It was also not very satisfied with the touch of the sand. It cried out and leaped up, jumping to the outskirts of the Death Forest.

Here, Jiraiya pulled out a huge scroll from behind him and unfolded it.

The sealing ritual inside was activated, and the black runes formed a huge "net", swallowing the Tailed Beast Ball that was ready to go.

Jiraiya threw out the scroll while forming a seal and placed one hand on the abdomen of the Five-Tails-transformed Naruto.

After a few "puff" sounds, chakra flames of various colors ignited at the fingertips and merged into the seal.

Naruto's scarlet eyes widened for a moment, then slowly spread out, and he lost consciousness. The violent chakra of the tailed beasts in his body gradually retracted into the seal.

"Really... I finally caught up..."

"Jiraiya, what's going on, you fellow—" A toad with a body that looked like a scroll floated over from afar, crossed its paws over its chest and looked at Jiraiya in dissatisfaction, "Can you just throw me away as the key?"

"Sorry, sorry, it's an emergency."

Jiraiya scratched his messy hair and smiled awkwardly.

"Hmph," the scroll toad reluctantly brushed aside the issue, floated closer and looked at Naruto, and said thoughtfully, "Is this the child?"

"Yes."

Looking at the unconscious yellow-haired boy with a complicated expression, Jiraiya was lost in thought for a moment - this is Minato's...

Jiraiya grabbed Naruto's collar with one hand and tried to lift him up, but found that this guy was holding tightly onto the unconscious boy in blue clothes in his arms and wouldn't let go... The family emblem on his back was that of the Uchiha family... Was his eye injured?

This time it's really a big trouble...

Jiraiya picked up the two with one hand and left instantly.

"Hey, you guy!" Looking at the disappeared Jiraiya, the Scroll Toad cursed and made hand seals, and disappeared on the spot with a bang.
