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

A group of people from Konoha came to a beach in the Land of Water, where the Hidden Mist Ninja had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you very much for Konoha's support. You have worked hard along the way."

A jonin from Kirigakure walked up and greeted Kakashi, who was leading the team.

"You're welcome. How is the Vulpix Jinchuriki doing now?"

Kakashi got straight to the point; now was not the time for small talk.

The Jonin of Kirigakure said with great regret, "Just as the Mizukage-sama left the village, Yugao was attacked. I'm afraid he has been captured by the Akatsuki organization now."

"So soon? We were clearly prepared. Who are the people sent by Akatsuki?"

Kakashi didn't expect that he would be in hell as soon as he arrived at Kirigakure. He had already lost one of the two tailed beasts.

"Because he is a Jinchūriki, Yugao does not have a good relationship with the village and has always acted alone. The people from Akatsuki are members we have never seen before, and their specific abilities are not clear to us."

The Kirigakure jonin said with some shame that after Mei Terumi took away Chojuro and Ao, there were really no capable masters left in the village. Only a few Kirigakure advisory elders were left to barely keep the village in order, otherwise they would not have asked Konoha for help.

Kakashi couldn't blame the other party too much. It was their own business. At most, he would just mutter a few words in his heart about how unreliable the Kirigakure was.

There is no need to pursue it too much. Now only the three-tailed beast that is about to be resurrected can be fought for.

"So when exactly is the Sanwei?"

"We have already calculated the exact time. One week from now in the afternoon, Sanwei will be resurrected in this area of ​​water."

The Kirigakure Jonin said with a serious face that the time had been calculated accurately and there would be no problem.

"So are you ready for your choice of Jinchūriki? Sealing the Three-Tails is not an easy task."

According to Tsunade's plan, the sealing scroll that had been carved in advance was given to Kurenai Yuhi, and she led a team of several ninjas with better chakra control to seal the Three-Tails, but the choice of the Jinchūriki would be made by the Hidden Mist.

"This has been prepared a long time ago, Liuli, come here."

Under the introduction of the Kirigakure Jonin, a girl with short light yellow hair came over.

She was probably around twenty years old, but her baby face made her look even younger. Her purple pupils gave people a mysterious feeling. She greeted the group of people from Konoha timidly.

"Hello everyone, I am... Goji Liuli."

"Goji? You are..."

When Kakashi heard this surname, he realized something. The Fourth Mizukage's name was Karatachi Yagura, and this girl obviously had the same surname as the Mizukage.

"That's right. Ruri is the niece of Lord Yagura. As the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails, she is the most suitable person in the village right now."

The Kirigakure jonin explained that there was indeed no more suitable candidate in the village right now.

"All you need to do is be prepared. Then make some arrangements. Always be on guard against suspicious persons approaching."

Kakashi gave a few more instructions and then led Konoha and the others to prepare to set up camp. The Three-Tails would not be resurrected for another week.

Kakashi said as the others took out tents and other things to prepare to set up camp.

"Don't bother, I'll leave Yamato to you."

Several students who had never seen Yamato looked at this unfamiliar Konoha jonin.

Yamato smiled slightly and put his hands together, "Leave it to me, Wood Release, Four Pillars."

Several wooden strips quickly emerged from the flat land, and after continuous entanglement and assembly, they directly formed a two-story house.

"As expected of you, Master Yamato. You can even perform this kind of technique!"

Naruto said excitedly, tents are far inferior to houses.

"Awesome, what kind of ninjutsu is this? It's so convenient."

Kiba exclaimed as he saw Wood Release being used for the first time.

"Everyone come one by one. Each class will live in a house. But you still need to prepare bedding and other things. I can't make these things out of thin air."

Yamato continued to use the Four Pillars of Houses, and a total of three houses appeared directly in front of them. He could just live with Kakashi and his group.

The Kirigakure ninja in the distance was also surprised when he saw the changes here.

"Konoha actually has such a convenient jutsu."

An expression of envy flashed in Liuli's purple pupils.

"This is probably the Wood Release left behind by the first Hokage. This bloodline limit has a strong suppressive effect on the tailed beasts. It seems that this mission is relatively appropriate."

The Kirigakure jonin were quite familiar with this, but they did not expect that the Wood Release technique, which was rumored to have been lost, would be shown to the world again.

"Teacher Kakashi, since the mission hasn't started yet, I'll continue practicing ninjutsu!"

After finishing his preparation, Naruto went straight to Kakashi. He only had one step left in his ninjutsu training.

"Sure, but you'd better stay away and ask Yamato to join you."

After getting permission, Naruto took Yamato, who wanted to rest, to the beach.

"Naruto, you'd better be careful during the mission."

Yamato doesn't want people from Akatsuki to come and Naruto to go berserk at the same time, as that would be a big trouble.

"It's okay. I have you, Teacher Yamato. I only have one last step left and it should be done soon."

Naruto chuckled.

"Is Naruto practicing any new moves?"

Lee, who had a good relationship with Naruto, asked.

"That's right. Naruto worked very hard when he was in the village. He has been practicing for quite some time. It is said that he was practicing on the nature change of chakra. He even consulted Asuma-sensei for this."

Sakura explained.

Ya, who knew something about it, showed a look of astonishment.

"Nature change, has Naruto reached this point? Damn it, he's practicing secretly by himself without anyone noticing."

Hinata, "Naruto-kun really works hard."

"Don't think too much. It's still unknown whether Naruto's training can be successful. What he wants to do now is not even done by the Fourth Hokage."

Kakashi poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.

"Are you saying that Naruto wants to add a property change to the Rasengan?"

Kai instantly understood what Naruto wanted to do, and in a sense Kakashi was right.

While they were talking, Naruto created dozens of shadow clones, two in each group, and began to roll the balls, adding the attributes of wind jutsu to the Rasengan while rolling them.

As expected, as soon as Naruto added wind jutsu chakra, the extremely unstable Rasengan exploded, taking away a group of shadow clones.

"This method of cultivation is really messy."

Hong also understood why Naruto used Shadow Clone to practice, as only Naruto could do this method.

"But it is still difficult for Naruto to integrate wind jutsu into the Rasengan."

Kakashi took a look and turned back into the house. With Yamato around, he didn't need to worry too much.

The constant failures made Naruto make no progress at all. After watching for a while, everyone started to busy themselves with their own things, leaving only Naruto and Yamato still there.

After a long time, seeing that it was time for dinner, Yamato spoke.

"We should stop here for today Naruto, it's getting dark."

"Damn it, why is it so difficult? Keeping the Rasengan stable while injecting wind jutsu, this is basically multitasking, how can I do it?"

Naruto lay on the ground tired and a little depressed.

"Um, are you okay?"

At this time a handkerchief was handed over. Naruto raised his head and looked at the other person. It was the Karuta Ruri whom he had just met.
