I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

At this moment, all members of the Akatsuki organization are sealing the last tailed beast, the Eight-Tails. The Eight-Tails is indeed different from the previous tailed beasts and it takes a lot more time.

It's almost over.

Ye Lan estimated the time, he could clearly feel that the Jinchūriki's life was about to end.

One of the eyes of the Outer Path Demon Statue was about to open completely, but at this moment something unexpected happened. When the chakra of all the tailed beasts left Killer Bee's body, Killer Bee's body turned directly into a ball of smoke.

Shadow clone

But the opponent has real Tailed Beast Chakra, and the state of the Outer Path Demon Statue is not fake.

Everyone looked surprised. They didn't expect Ye Lan to fail.

"Uchiha Ye Lan, there are times when you can't recognize someone clearly. I thought the Sharingan could see through everything, but I didn't expect it couldn't even recognize the clone."

Deidara said in a teasing tone, as if the matter was not big enough.

Sasuke couldn't help but look at Ye Lan. Logically speaking, Ye Lan shouldn't have made such a mistake.

"The Eight-Tail should have voluntarily sacrificed itself to be captured by Ye Lan. If Ye Lan really captured the original body, the Eight-Tail would no longer exist after the original body died. Our plan might have to wait another three years."

After some thought, Kakuzu guessed what the Eight-Tails would choose at that time, which was nothing more than sacrificing the rook to save the king. If Ye Lan really caught the real body, the trouble might be even greater.

Ye Lan was also surprised. He didn't expect Kirabi to be able to deceive him. He smiled and said, "Chief, this is my responsibility. I will catch Kirabi again next time."

"Uchiha Ye Lan, there are times when you can't recognize someone clearly. I thought the Sharingan could see through everything, but I didn't expect it couldn't even recognize the clone."

Tiandao closed his eyes and shook his head gently.

"You don't have to do this too deliberately. The Eight-Tails' chakra has been almost completely absorbed. The state of the Outer Path Demon Statue is not fake."

Nagato didn't want Ye Lan to take this little thing too seriously, as this would be a bad thing. Anyway, the goal of absorbing the Eight-Tails had been achieved, so he didn't care whether Killer Bee was dead or not.

Ye Lan nodded and said no more.

Kakuzu, "We have also found the trace of Vulpix and can capture it at any time."

At present, several tailed beasts have been sealed and the plan can be carried out.

"You can try to capture it first. Sasuke, Kisame, Sasori, and Deidara, you can take a break and go support Kakuzu and the others immediately. Make sure to complete the capture later."

Nagato sent almost all of Akatsuki's personnel to Kirigakure, which was enough to show how much he valued the next plan, and he only needed to prepare fully to capture the Nine-Tails.

"Then I will prepare to go to the Land of Iron to participate in the Five Kage Tournament. Please invite Xiu and the others to come with me."

Ye Lan said casually that Xiu was a very good tool and he also appeared in the war with the Land of Grass. Other ninja villages also gradually became aware of this person.

Tiandao nodded slightly and agreed to this.

I don’t know when a black cat climbed onto Ye Lan’s body, and he was teasing the other party with some dried fish.

"Once Tsunade goes to participate in the Five Kage Conference, Konoha will become empty. We can take the opportunity to evacuate all the people staying in Konoha."

Konan, "Will this alert Konoha?"

Ye Lan knocked his head and said, "No, the people we left behind in Yuyin may have been monitored by Konoha."

This was not just empty talk. Recently, there have been fewer and fewer letters from Konoha. Ever since Amegakure launched the war, everyone in Konoha has been under strict surveillance.

"What are you thinking of now, kid?"

Scorpion's handsome face and old-fashioned words made Ye Lan feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"What do you mean by an idea I have? Our people don't have to do anything. They will become chaotic on their own. Then your apprentice will be here, Scorpion."

Ye Lan smiled at Xie. After practicing natural energy, he always felt that this guy had a strong aura of death. He felt better only after he found some things for him to do.

"Hey, don't make decisions on your own. Not everyone can teach me puppetry."

Scorpion was very unhappy with Ye Lan's attitude of often making decisions on his own, especially when he felt that every decision he made was right, this feeling became even stronger.

"It's decided now. I'll leave first."

Ye Lan held the black cat in his arms and waved his hands to everyone.

"Leaving so early, aren't you going with Xiu and the others?"

Sasuke said doubtfully, it's still early, it won't take that long to get to the Iron Kingdom.

"I'm going to take care of some personal matters first. Let Xiu and the others go directly to the Iron Country. I will meet them there."

Leaving only this sentence, Ye Lan's figure disappeared from the spot, and it was not even clear which direction he was heading.

Tiandao watched Ye Lan leave in silence. After the other party captured the Eight-Tail and the Two-Tail, he could feel that Ye Lan's edge could no longer be hidden.

Instead of being afraid of this, he felt relieved. Even if he died, Ye Lan would probably inherit his will and carry out their plan.

The illusions of Kakuzu and Hidan also disappeared, probably they went to capture Vulpix.

Sasuke and others also left to support Kakuzu and others, leaving only Pain and Konan in the room.

"Konan, we are one step closer to our ideal. If Yahiko were still here, he would probably be happy."

After the others left, Payne also unloaded his baggage and spoke calmly.

As someone who knows Yahiko better, Konan doesn't want to say whether the other party will be happy or not, but when she sees that everything in Yugakure is getting better, she naturally supports Nagato's ideals more. To her, this is everything.

"Nagato, we will succeed..."

...

Ye Lan searched in Tian Country for a long time. He frowned when he found traces left after a great war, especially the fluctuations of natural energy remaining in the air.

He came to the place where Orochimaru died and squatted down. Only a pool of blood was left here. Orochimaru's body had long disappeared. Ye Lan tapped it lightly with his fingers, closed his eyes and began to sense.

The surrounding trees, weeds, and air currents began to respond to Ye Lan's perception. The invisible natural energy in the air emitted a faint induction, giving Ye Lan a clue.

After a long while he opened his eyes and whispered.

"Orochimaru, do you also have the time to give up Sasuke's Sharingan and instead target Obito?"

After defeating Orochimaru, Obito took away Orochimaru's body. He was quite concerned about Tobirama's departure. The only way to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation was to let the caster cancel it himself, so he wanted to use Orochimaru's cells to re-impure Orochimaru.

When the materials were ready, Obito directly launched the technique.

The White Zetsu in front of him began to change, but Orochimaru was unable to summon his soul, and in the end it just turned into a pool of mud.

Obito looked at the mud in front of him with an unpleasant expression.

"Failed?"
