Chapter 239: Extortion of the Stone Shinobi!
Chapter 239: Extortion of the Stone Shinobi!
A person?
Such a large person, vanished right before their eyes.
"Seal the news immediately. Everyone... No, leave a squad to continue searching for the Tsuchikage. The rest, immediately retreat!"
Kurotsuchi ordered in a furious rage.
With the Tsuchikage missing, as an elite jounin and the son, he was the most qualified to issue orders.
No matter how anxious he was to find his father, he was very clear about the danger.
The army had already been here for three days, which was the limit. If they stayed any longer, they could be caught between the Cloud Shinobi and Konoha.
So he had to make the painful decision.
Even if the captive was his father, the Third Tsuchikage, they had to retreat immediately.
Unlike the Cloud Shinobi and the Sand Shinobi, the greatest pillar of the Stone Shinobi was Daido. Without him, no one else, whether Kurotsuchi or anyone else, had the right to sit in the position of Kage. If someone else did sit there, even without internal strife, it would be impossible to maintain the current unity.
Therefore, no matter the cost, they had to save him.
The only comfort Kurotsuchi had was that the enemy didn't choose to kill but to capture, indicating they had some demands.
And indeed, that was the case!
Less than half a day after Kurotsuchi led the army away, a note brought back by a reconnaissance shinobi arrived.
[If you don't want to see Daido's corpse, exchange the Earth Release knowledge and techniques of the Hidden Stone Village for his release...]
The conditions were above Kurotsuchi's bottom line.
He knew how important Daido was to the Hidden Stone Village. Once he was lost, the village would immediately fall into internal strife and chaos.
Now that there was a chance to save his father, he wouldn't hesitate.
However, such a matter couldn't be decided by him alone, so he consulted with the village's high-level officials. After deliberation, they finally agreed to the trade.
However, he couldn't go alone. 'Han' had to go with him.
Han!
Also the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, known as the 'Steam Ninja,' with Kage-level strength.
With both of them going, it would make others a bit more at ease.
Of course, just a bit more at ease.
After all, the 'Kage' organization had captured Daido on the battlefield.
Even with the element of surprise, the demonstrated strength was indeed formidable.
Moreover, not only that.
During the trade, the demolition squad would follow from a distance. If anything went wrong, they would forcibly rescue Daido even if it meant a fight.
Of course, due to the news being sealed, no one outside knew about Daido's capture yet.
On the other side!
Tang Ping and Hyuga Cangyue were resting in the wilderness of the Country of Grass.
Daido, lying on the ground, was still unconscious.
However, his injuries had been treated, and there was no need to worry about him dying from bleeding or injuries.
There were no ropes on him, but there were many sealing symbols, and his chakra had been drained, leaving him no chance at all.
No matter how strong a shinobi, without chakra, they were like a toothless tiger.
So even without being tied up, there was no fear of Daido suddenly attacking.
"Who would have thought such a pleasant surprise would come!"
Tang Ping, looking at the unconscious Daido, didn't know what to say.
Hyuga Cangyue was really bold.
To be clear, his Plan B was just to create chaos and leave. He hadn't thought about capturing Daido.
But Hyuga Cangyue used the 'first encounter kill' advantage to easily capture Daido, who was in poor condition.
This way, the earth release techniques he had coveted for a long time could finally be in his hands.
Of course, this did not include the 'Dust Release' cultivation secret.
If he really wanted the Dust Release, it would be clear that he didn't intend to complete the trade.
Because this secret technique was the core of the Tsuchikage lineage. No matter what, the other party wouldn't agree to trade it.
So, in the trade conditions, Tang Ping deliberately ignored this bloodline limit cultivation method and specifically named other earth release techniques.
For example, Heavy Rock and Light Rock were essential, as well as the secret techniques for creating earth giants, etc.
Anyway, except for Dust Release, Tang Ping wanted all the earth release techniques.
The value of Daido far exceeded this price, so there was no fear of the other party refusing.
And since it’s an ‘extra’ gain, Tang Ping wouldn’t feel any regret over a low price.
If it’s free, it’s good; why ask for a bicycle?
"Too bad we don’t know where the Dust Release is, otherwise..."
Hyuga Cangyue roasted the sheep they caught in the wild, as if it were a joke.
But Tang Ping knew very well that if they really knew the hiding place of the Dust Release, she would truly go and snatch it for him.
"Even if I got it, I don’t have the corresponding chakra nature, so let’s forget it!"
Tang Ping quickly dispelled the dangerous idea of the seemingly gentle and innocent Hyuga Cangyue, who was actually a Sky-Descended Strong Woman.
"Alright!"
Hyuga Cangyue nodded regretfully.
In her view, anything useful to Tang Ping should be in their hands.
"By the way, how is the Caged Bird seal?"
Tang Ping asked about this important matter.
Even though the Rinnegan had proven to significantly counteract the Caged Bird seal, he was still very worried.
"The weakening is limited. It seems we need to fully master the Rinnegan to truly get rid of the Caged Bird seal!"
Hyuga Cangyue’s tone was calm, showing no trace of worry.
Because she knew that she would eventually break free from the bindings.
Even without the Rinnegan, with Tang Ping’s abilities, he could find a corresponding solution for her.
Indeed, her confidence in Tang Ping was even stronger than his own.
"Then you’ll have to bear with it for a while longer!"
Tang Ping nodded in understanding.
The opportunity to fully ascend to the Rinnegan was not nonexistent.
Daimoku Shonen!
If his memory served him right, in a few years, the latter would come down from the moon to visit the ‘Princess Consort,’ which would be an excellent opportunity.
As long as he obtained the other’s flesh and blood, he could completely restore Hyuga Cangyue’s lineage, allowing her to gain a complete Rinnegan.
With the Rinnegan, the Caged Bird seal, which acts on the soul, could be removed.
His speculation about the Caged Bird seal was not baseless.
In the future, when Hyuga Hizashi was reincarnated, the Caged Bird seal on his forehead was still there, which clearly indicated a problem.
The Caged Bird seal does not act on the physical body but on the ‘soul.’
That’s why it’s so troublesome.
Based on Tang Ping’s speculation, unless the sealing technique is on par with Uzumaki Suiko’s level, it’s unlikely to remove it through sealing techniques alone.
Of course, if one has expertise in the soul, it’s not impossible to find a quick solution.
Entering the Six Paths level and mastering Yin and Yang Release would also allow one to remove it effortlessly.
But these are not easily achievable conditions, so he could only focus on the Rinnegan.
And once Hyuga Cangyue has the Rinnegan, she can enter the Super Kage level.
Super Kage!
It’s the absolute ceiling in normal circumstances.
It’s the level where one can face off against the Six Paths of Pain head-on.
Only by breaking free from the Caged Bird seal can Hyuga Cangyue dare to confront the Hyuga clan. For now, she can only pretend.
During their conversation, Hyuga Cangyue’s cherry lips never stopped moving, elegantly and quickly finishing the entire sheep.
Indeed!
Her appetite is that extraordinary.
But this appetite also allows her to grow rapidly in all aspects.
The future Princess Consort also had this ability, but unfortunately, she rarely ate her fill, so she didn’t show her full potential.
Otherwise, in such a case of ancestral bloodline regression, her potential is unimaginable.
The next day!
The two brought Daimoku to the trading location.
They kept him in a weakened and unconscious state throughout the journey.
They didn’t dare underestimate this Third Tsuchikage, who was terrifying in both mind and strength, so keeping him unconscious was the best option.
They chose the trading location in the Hidden Grass Village.
This was because it connected the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, making transportation extremely convenient.
They quickly arrived at the trading location.
However, the other two might have arrived much earlier.
With Hyuga Cangyue around, Tang Ping naturally wasn’t afraid of being ambushed, and he had already discovered the other side’s explosive team.
"Alright, I’ve brought him. Where’s the item?"
Tang Ping shook Daimoku, who was small and easy to carry, though it made him look rather disheveled.
