🕑 Added 2021-08-16 12:38:05 +0000 UTC-- Chapter 175 ---
Uchiha Obito quietly sat on the ground and observed the small pond near him. When he was about to take a nap, White Zetsu suddenly approached him.
"Any news? White Zetsu?" Uchiha Obito asked while opening his eye slightly.
White Zetsu walked out of the ground and naturally sat near the pond. "Well, they have finished their task. I was surprised both of them defeated four tails in such a short time." He replied with a weird expression.
Uchiha Obito frowned slightly and raised his gaze to the skies, where white clouds slowly floated. "They are fast." He responded with a nod.
"...What about Black Zetsu, Is he already able to confirm Ghost's identity?" Uchiha Obito suddenly asked.
White Zetsu was about to answer Obito's question, but a black slime suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Well, about that... I'm not sure." Black Zetsu answered, which caused both White Zetsu and Obito to glare at him.
"What do you mean by that?" Uchiha Obito asked, to which Black Zetsu responded with a heavy sigh.
Black Zetsu looked at Obito and replied, "I'm still doing my research because there is no concrete proof that person was Uchiha Izuna. Yet, his resurrection also frustrated me."
"There aren't many resurrection techniques in this world. Are you sure that man wasn't an Edo Tensei?" He questioned back.
"He's 100% alive. I don't know how he resurrected himself, but he also possesses Mangekyou Sharingan." Uchiha Obito replied while releasing a sigh.
There aren't many resurrection techniques in this world, but they know resurrecting a person needs a great price, and it could be one's life force or another person's life.
"Uchiha Izuna… If only Madara here, we wouldn't have such a problem." Uchiha Obito indifferently commented, which caused both Zetsu to look at him with a solemn expression.
It also wasn't the right time to resurrect Madara, so they could only uncover Yunlong's identity by themselves.
'Just what actually happened in the last few hours...' Black Zetsu thought in a confused manner because, according to his plan, such a thing shouldn't happen.
Another variable had entered his grand plan to resurrect his mother, but Uchiha Izuna suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which caused great confusion for him.
'Someone is trying to mess up with my plan...' Black Zetsu silently pondered.
White Zetsu cluelessly looked at them and then opened his mouth, "Ah, they have arrived at the hideout."
"And they were confronted by Orochimaru and Juzo." He added.
--- Akatsuki's Hideout ---
Yunlong and Itachi arrived at the hideout, and the first thing they saw was two people in Akatsuki's robe waiting for them.
"Orochimaru..." Uchiha Itachi looked at the snake sage with a calm expression.
"The other is one of the seven swordsmen. Juzo biwa." He continued, which caused Juzo Biwa to chuckle for a moment.
"Heh, you know me too, huh." Juzo Biwa smiled at them.
"Can we enter the hideout now? I want to rest." Yunlong casually complained with Four Tails' Jinchuriki on his left shoulder.
After they defeated the Four Tails, Son Goku suddenly shrank back to its Jinchuuriki size, a middle-aged man with red hair.
"You're?" Orochimaru asked with a not-so-curious expression.
"Me? Ghost. New member." Yunlong answered while yawning a little.
Juzo Biwa looked at Yunlong solemnly because he could sense an intense fighting spirit from him, which is very sharp, and he was so familiar with it.
Orochimaru and Juzo glanced at each other and nodded at the same time because they wanted to test new members.
Juzo Biwa swiftly drew out Kubikiribocho, which is Decapitating Carving Knife and shaped like a butcher knife.
He quickly approached Yunlong and swung the giant sword at him. Orochimaru gradually followed Juzo and summoned many snakes, which swiftly moved toward Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi calmly took a few kunai and threw them toward Orochimaru, which he dodged with ease.
Clank!
Yunlong parried Juzo's attack with a golden sword, which surprised the former seven ninja swordsmen of the mist.
"As expected, you're also a swordsman." Juzo Biwa commented with a grin on his face, to which Yunlong indifferently responded by kicking him away.
Bam!
Juzo Biwa's body flew a few meters away, and he casually landed on the ground without any difficulty because Yunlong's attack was so light, it doesn't even affect him.
Boom!
Orochimaru dodged a kunai with an explosion tag and didn't notice Itachi have looked at him with Sharingan.
They stared at each other for a good one minute, and a person suddenly came out of a dark cave.
"Are you guys done?" Sasori indifferently asked. "I've been observing all of you, but sadly there is no art in your attack."
"How boring..." He silently continued, which caused Juzo's mouth to twitch.
They weren't aware of a few golden needles pointed at their forehead, except for Itachi, who moved his gaze to Yunlong with a solemn expression.
"Ghost... Stop right there." Pain's silent voice came out of the cave.
"Tch, blame them for not realizing," Yunlong said while drawing the needle back, which left Orochimaru, Juzo, and Sasori speechless.
Pain frowned slightly and quietly looked at Yunlong with a grim expression.
They entered the hideout, and a giant stone suddenly covered the entrance, which caused the room to become pitch dark.
"Well, Since they have brought the target, let's seal the tailed beast into the Gedo Mazo." Pain suddenly pricked his finger and slapped his hand onto the ground.
"Summoning Technique, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Gedo Mazo."
POOF!
A giant statue appeared out of thin white smoke, which caused a few members to look at it curiously.
The statue's appearance was quite grotesque because it looked mummified with a few spikes on the back, which released a hazy aura.
'Kaguya...' Yunlong thought while looking at the statue because this was nothing but an empty husk of the moon goddess.
Pain looked at them and instructed, "I will transmit a sealing technique, which we'll use to seal the tailed beast into this statue."
"It's not a complicated technique, but it requires a lot of focus." He casually continued and shared a sealing art with every single person in the room.
They nodded their heads, and a blue-haired lady abruptly appeared from the shadow.
Yunlong accepted transmission and received Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals.
"How long does it take to seal this guy?" Yunlong suddenly asked, which piqued Orochimaru's interest as well because he also wanted to know.
"Maximal three days or even less." Konan bluntly answered.
"I see..." Yunlong nodded his head in understanding.
Zetsu also appeared from the ground and jumped toward one of Gedo Mazo’' fingertips, which swiftly was followed by the rest.
Yunlong quietly looked at them with a confused expression and moved his gaze to Gedo Mazo's fingertips because his identification didn't match with them for some reason.
"Whatever" Yunlong casually jumped onto Gedo Mazo's head, which caused everyone to look at him.
"What?" He continued.
Pain shook his head and calmly said, "Start!"
"Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals!"
They performed a few hand signs, and Gedo Mazo gradually opened its mouth, releasing nine bluish energy dragons, which swiftly bit the Jinchuuriki's body.
As the dragon bit the Jinchuuriki, he started to float and released a blemish red chakra, which was the tailed beast's chakra.
Yunlong looked at the slow extraction and inwardly sighed at himself. 'This is going to take a while.' He thought.
--- Land of Demons ---
Yunlong's shadow clone arrived at the land of demons, and he quickly moved toward the priestess compound, which is not far from his current position.
"This should be the place..." Yunlong muttered while looking at the large building, not unlike a temple complete with a great torii in the front.
He sensed everyone in this area and instantly realized two distinct's presence inside of a particular house.
Yunlong flicked a golden needle and teleported inside, only to be greeted by a woman.
The woman had pale skin with very long brown hair and light-colored eyes, which made her look gentle yet beautiful at the same time.
"Oh brave warrior, I've been waiting for you..." The woman gently smiled at Yunlong.
