Naruto: Mission Tsunade – Time for Uncle to Step Up!

"Sounds like there's quite a commotion over there."

Kawaki said to Orochimaru beside him jokingly.

He had noticed that the location of the war had changed, but it didn't affect his plan.

As long as the Eight - Tailed Beast wasn't taken down, the Cloud Ninjas would be kept occupied there.

And was the Eight - Tailed Beast that easy to deal with? He knew the answer well.

"What, you planning to get involved?"

Orochimaru was a bit obsessive now. Whenever he heard Kawaki speak, he couldn't help but retort.

His long, slitted snake eyes made Kawaki feel uneasy. Had he annoyed him again?

Both of them had now regained their original appearances, and the plan in Kumogakure was reaching its final stage.

There was no need to hide anymore.

"Am I crazy? Why would I get involved now?"

Kawaki couldn't help but mutter. He wasn't a fool.

"You're really crazy."

Orochimaru's lips curled slightly, and the smile in his eyes couldn't be contained.

"Come on, come on, stop kidding. We're almost there."

Kawaki knew he was being teased, and he was also aware of his own actions these days.

Looking at the lone house by the cliff ahead, he knew they had reached their destination.

As they talked and laughed, they didn't hide their figures. Soon, they were spotted by the Cloud Ninjas guarding the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki.

Several whooshing sounds rang out as ninja tools flew from the nearby forest.

A bolt of lightning shot at their feet from the ground.

Attacked from both above and below, an ordinary ninja would easily fall for this.

But were they ordinary people?

Ninjutsu, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands[b]Ninjutsu, Hidden Shadow Snake Hands[/b].

Orochimaru casually stretched out his hand, and several snakes slithered out of his sleeve, blocking all the incoming kunai and shuriken.

Kawaki stomped out that bit of lightning with one foot. Playing Lightning Release in front of him, not many in Kumogakure were worthy of his notice.

"Get rid of them quickly."

Kawaki's eyes sharpened, and he flashed towards the direction where the ninja tools had come from.

"Such a hassle."

Orochimaru licked his lips. A glint of killing intent flashed across his eyes, and then he also disappeared from the spot.

"Ah~"

After a moment, several screams rang out in the forest. Kawaki walked out clapping his hands, looking disdainful.

These nobodies couldn't even warm him up.

He hadn't even exerted himself, and the opponents had already fallen.

"Let's go."

Orochimaru passed by him without a single drop of blood on him.

The two strolled towards the small wooden house as casually as if they were taking a walk in a garden, showing not the slightest bit of urgency.

They swaggered in on purpose to let the Cloud Ninjas find them, so they wouldn't have to search for them.

The two reached the small wooden house, pushed open the door, and went inside.

They found that the furnishings inside were very simple.

There wasn't even a decent table, only the couch was passable.

Lying on it was the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki, still in a deep sleep.

From time to time, he would mumble unconsciously: "No, no."

It seemed that even in his sleep, he couldn't find peace. The Two - Tailed Beast had become his nightmare.

The power of the Tailed Beast was indeed powerful, but it was truly difficult to master.

The simplicity of the room wasn't because Kumogakure was mistreating him. It was just that he had gone berserk too many times, and it would be a waste to give him anything good.

Rather than painstakingly arranging things every time, it's better to make do with it.

"He's such a poor child."

Kawaki sighed. He saw Jonar lying on the bed, his face pale and his breathing weak.

Only God knows how much longer he can live.

"Do you think it's easy to be a Jinchūriki?"

Orochimaru rolled his eyes at him. It was already a sign of strong will that Jonar hadn't died after going berserk so many times.

Among the Jinchūriki that Kawaki had interacted with the most, both were quite stable.

Mito has complete control over the [Nine - Tailed Fox]. Chōmei often got beaten up because of his chatterbox nature.

Not to mention going berserk, they were even afraid that saying one more word would startle the Jinchūriki.

"Forget it, let's take him away."

Kawaki had no intention of taking action himself. Orochimaru was better at storing living people.

"[Summoning Jutsu]."

Orochimaru didn't bicker with him. He directly summoned a large snake.

Without any command, the snake naturally swallowed Jonar entirely into its belly.

Then it disappeared with a "bang".

"Are you planning to take him back to the Village (Kumogakure)?"

Orochimaru seemed to suddenly realize something. His look at Kawaki was even a bit surprised.

"What are you thinking? I'm going to use him to exchange for something."

Kawaki knew Orochimaru's concerns. Releasing the [Eight - Tailed Beast] was a form of revenge.

Judging from the current situation, the losses of Kumogakure were still within the controllable range.

If you took the [Two - Tailed Beast] away, it would be a different story.

That war - mongering black bastard might start another war.

Konoha, which has three Tailed Beasts, will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

No one wants to see a village far more powerful than themselves thrive.

In the end, it would still be Konoha that suffered losses. It wasn't worth it.

The outcome was too bad, and they couldn't afford to take the risk.

Konoha having two Tailed Beasts was already enough.

"That's more like it."

Orochimaru let out a sigh of relief. He thought Kawaki had such big plans.

Exchanging the [Two - Tailed Beast] for something was more practical.

"I'll leave a letter for the Raikage."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to find me."

Kawaki said to Orochimaru with a smile.

Then, he took out a pen from somewhere and directly wrote a sentence on the couch.

"I want the [Lightning Strike Armor]. Meet me at Mikazuki Island. Written by Kawaki."

After writing, he looked at his own writing with an appreciative look.

"How about it?"

Kawaki patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, looking extremely proud.

No one knew where he got his confidence from. His handwriting was only slightly better than chicken scratch, and that was an understatement.

"Can understand it."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and politely said three very meaningful words.

"What do you mean by 'can understand it'? Look at the stroke, look at the writing style..."

Kawaki was being so shameless and trying to make himself look good.

He didn't care at all that Orochimaru's face had turned black.

"Are you kidding me? You must have some misunderstanding about the stroke."

Orochimaru said this with a black face and then turned around and walked out of the house.

He didn't want to entangle with Kawaki anymore, afraid that his aesthetic sense would be affected if he stayed any longer.

What kind of a guy is this? He really seems to be crazy!

I can't even write that badly with my feet, yet this guy has the nerve to ask me?

"Hey, wait for me."

Kawaki quickly chased out of the door, put his right hand on Orochimaru's shoulder, and the two disappeared together.

When they reappeared, they were already outside Kumogakure.

"Where are we going?"

Orochimaru knew that Kawaki wanted to exchange the Two - Tailed Beast for the secret jutsu of Kumogakure. Considering his personality, he wouldn't just wait around on Mikazuki Island.

"Let's go to the Land of Hot Water and have fun for a few days."

"The hostage is in our hands. No rush."

"Hey, don't go and kill him, okay?"

Kawaki really didn't know how long one could survive in the snake's belly, but the world of Naruto was quite different from the real world.

"Don't worry. It's a storage snake with a sealing function."

Orochimaru gave Kawaki a sideways look, as if he were looking at a greenhorn who had never seen the world.

"It's not my fault I don't know. The Katsuyu Sage doesn't have this function."

Kawaki made an excuse, and the two set off.

There were Flying Thunder God marks along the way, and they soon arrived in the Land of Hot Water.

Meanwhile, the beach in Kumogakure was still bustling.

The battle between the Raikage and the Eight - Tailed Beast lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, both the man and the beast collapsed from exhaustion.

Neither side had the strength to move.

Only then did the Cloud Ninjas seal the Eight - Tailed Beast with the Kohaku no Jōhei[b]Kohaku no Jōhei[/b], leaving Burubi's body behind.

"Lord Raikage, what should we do?"

A Cloud Ninja bravely stepped forward to ask. The villagers in the village had a lot of complaints about Burubi.

But he had been the Raikage's partner for many years, and what to do with his body had become a problem.

"Find a secluded place to bury him."

"Tell the outside world that his body was never found."

The Raikage understood his concerns. He lay on the beach, closed his eyes, and turbid tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"Lord Raikage, let me treat your wounds first."

A medical ninja stepped forward and pressed on the Raikage's right chest, where there was a hideous wound still bleeding from time to time.

If it weren't for his strong physique, anyone else would have bled to death after such a long time.

"Keep a good watch on the Kohaku no Jōhei[b]Kohaku no Jōhei[/b]."

On one hand, the Raikage was receiving treatment, and on the other hand, he gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

"We've already arranged people to guard it around the clock."

This was the Cloud Ninja who had brought the Kohaku no Jōhei[b]Kohaku no Jōhei[/b].

"Good. Any news about Kawaki Hatake and Orochimaru?"

The Raikage's tone was still calm at this time, without any anger.

"Not yet. It's been quite chaotic these days. Maybe they took advantage of the chaos and escaped."

As a result, the Cloud Ninjas had been distracted by the Eight - Tailed Beast these days and didn't pay attention to the situation of the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki.

In the eyes of the Cloud Ninjas, letting the Eight - Tailed Beast go berserk was already a serious matter.

They didn't believe that only two people from Konoha could do anything worse.

"Keep investigating. Don't let your guard down."

The Raikage still felt uneasy. There was always a bad feeling in his heart.

Before he could think further, someone rushed over and knelt on one knee in front of him.

"Lord Raikage, the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki has been kidnapped by Kawaki Hatake."

"What?"

In a fit of rage, the Raikage somehow found the strength to sit up.

"When I got there, there was no one in the room."

"All that was left was a letter from Kawaki Hatake."

This Cloud Ninja lowered his head, not daring to look the Raikage in the eye.

He blurted out what he saw in one breath.

"What the hell are you guys good for?"

"I was fighting the Eight - Tailed Beast, and you couldn't even keep an eye on Jonar?"

"You're all useless."

...

The Raikage in a fit of rage was so intimidating that it was stifling. The kinder his usual smile was, the more viciously he scolded now.

"It's our fault. Please punish us, Raikage - sama."

The person in charge of guarding the Two - Tailed Jinchūriki came to ask for punishment. He couldn't shirk this responsibility.

"Will punishing you solve the problem?"

"Help me go and have a look."

The Raikage only managed to stand up with the support of others. He was extremely exhausted.

Unexpectedly, after the war, he got such unfortunate news. His hatred towards Kawaki and Orochimaru climbed to a new level.

"Yes, Raikage - sama."

Several people supported the Raikage and quickly rushed towards the cliff.

Not long after they arrived at the house, the Raikage looked at the words left on the ground and was so angry that he laughed.

"Haha~ What a Kawaki Hatake."

"Absolutely shameless."

He couldn't describe his feelings now. It was a hundred times more disgusting than eating a fly.

"Raikage - sama, you can't give the Lightning Strike Armor[b]Lightning Strike Armor[/b]."

"That's a Taijutsu[b]Taijutsu[/b] that only the previous Raikages could practice."

"At worst, we'll fight Konoha again."

...

The Cloud Ninjas started chattering. They all advised the Raikage not to agree to Kawaki's demands.

"Stop arguing. I need to rest."

"If you don't want to give it, come up with a foolproof plan before I wake up."

After saying that, the Raikage collapsed onto Jonar's bed. Soon, he started snoring.

One couldn't tell if he was broad - minded or just really too tired.

All the Cloud Ninjas looked at each other.

When they went outside, none of them could come up with a decent idea.
