#220 - Chapter 220: The Five Kage Conference - Shukaku Appears (2)
Jiraiya certainly knew that the Tailed Beast rampage in Sunagakure was strange in every way.
Not to mention how Kirigakure and Iwagakure, which had never been on good terms, had come together, just using three Tailed Beasts as a price, even if it really destroyed Sunagakure, the price was too high.
You should know that, according to the information, this Tailed Beast rampage directly led to the deaths of the Five-Tails and Six-Tails, and the Four-Tails' life or death is unknown!
This means that after this incident, even if their plan succeeds, Iwagakure will lose the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, and Kirigakure will lose the Six-Tails.
The mysterious Kirigakure side will not be mentioned for the time being, but based on Jiraiya's understanding of Onoki, that old man would never do such a losing business.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Jiraiya asked with a solemn expression.
Minato shook his head.
"Not yet, everything will have to wait until Ao and the others return from Iwagakure..."
"Yeah!"
Jiraiya nodded, and then sighed.
"I wonder when this world will usher in true peace..."

Sunagakure, Dragon Oasis.
Fortunately, Rasa had prepared early and placed the Dragon Oasis more than fifty kilometers away from Sunagakure.
As a result, this Tailed Beast rampage did not have any impact on this place.
Only some forests along the underground river that stretched to Sunagakure were destroyed.
However, it is not a big problem. With the natural energy contained in the Dragon Oasis today, I believe it will recover soon.
When Rasa came here again after two weeks, the area of the Dragon Oasis had expanded once again.
The diameter is already close to five kilometers.
Even in the entire Land of Wind, it can be regarded as one of the top-ranked oases.
However, this time Rasa did not come alone, but brought the Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and Six-Tails.
Of course, they were in a sealed, comatose state.
"Kazekage-sama!"
As the One-Tail Jinchuriki guarding this place: Old Man Bunpuku also came out to greet him.
"Well, Old Man Bunpuku, has anything happened here recently?"
Because Chiyo and Ebizo and others had returned to the village, and Rasa had also been stationed in the village during this period.
Rasa hadn't been here for a long time.
Old Man Bunpuku put his hands together and said.
"Don't worry, Kazekage-sama, I have been guarding here, using Shukaku's power to monitor the entire forest. Currently, no abnormalities have been found. But on the village's side, is everyone alright?"
"Yes, everyone has recovered. Although there are still losses, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
"Yeah!"
Bunpuku also sighed. This is why people are so afraid of the Tailed Beasts. As a Jinchuriki, he deeply understands this fear of humans towards them.
Thinking of this, Bunpuku also saw the Four-Tails and Six-Tails Jinchuriki who were in a coma beside Rasa, and asked curiously.
"Kazekage-sama, are you bringing them here to imprison the Jinchuriki here?"
"No..."
Rasa's answer surprised Bunpuku a little.
"I am here to fulfill the promised conditions and give the Six-Tails freedom. As for the Four-Tails, he doesn't trust humans, so he wants to come over and take a look."
"! ! !"
Bunpuku was shocked. He thought he had heard wrong, but Rasa had already moved.
He saw him come to the front of the two Jinchuriki.
"Dragon Vein Seal · Release!"
In an instant, the sealing formulas on the two Jinchuriki were released, and huge amounts of chakra spewed out from the two Jinchuriki. Before long, at the edge of the huge forest, the huge bodies of the Four-Tails and Six-Tails appeared in Bunpuku's field of vision.
"? ? ?"
As soon as the Four-Tails and Six-Tails came out, they looked at the huge forest in front of them and showed a shocked look.
Although as Tailed Beasts, products of Yin-Yang Release, they cannot sense the existence of Sage chakra, they can still perceive the majestic vitality emanating from the forest in front of them.
"Where is this?"
The Four-Tails asked in surprise, and the Six-Tails also shook his head and looked around.
Seeing this, Rasa looked up at the two Tailed Beasts and said.
"This is our Sunagakure's secret forbidden area, which I call: Dragon Oasis."
"Dragon Oasis! ? Kazekage, why did you bring us here?"
"Of course, it is to fulfill the conditions we agreed upon and give the Six-Tails freedom. It is just to avoid some unnecessary troubles that we must find a deserted place. Of course, besides that, I also have an idea?"
The Four-Tails' eyes suddenly became serious, and the Six-Tails immediately said violently.
"Damn it, I said that humans are not to be trusted. Are you going to break the agreement?"
Rasa said calmly.
"Don't be so anxious, listen to my idea first?"
After speaking, he looked at the two Tailed Beasts and pointed to the huge forest behind him and asked.
"Six-Tails, what do you think of this place?"
The Six-Tails said without even thinking.
"What's so good about it? Do you want to imprison me here?"
"No... I just have a suggestion. As a Tailed Beast, I think you should be clear that even if you regain your freedom now, humans cannot give up your power. Being sealed again is only a matter of time. Ordinary ninjas may not be able to do it, but what about the mastermind who can control you at once?"
The Six-Tails, who wanted to refute, was suddenly speechless, and the Four-Tails and Bunpuku on the side also fell into deep thought.
"So, instead of running outside and living a precarious life, it is better to stay in our Sunagakure's Dragon Oasis."
"! ! !"
At this moment, the Four-Tails, Six-Tails, and Bunpuku were all shocked and completely understood Rasa's meaning.
"Don't worry, I won't have any restrictions on you. You should also understand that, for the current me, your power is already a bit insufficient. Finally, although I don't have the confidence to defeat the mastermind who controls you, from the fact that he doesn't dare to show up and attack me, he is also afraid of me, and I am enough to protect you."
"Damn humans, who wants your protection!"
The Six-Tails roared, but his tone was obviously much softer.
The Four-Tails also fell into deep thought, and Bunpuku looked at Rasa in surprise.
It has to be said that at this moment, the Six-Tails was moved.
As long as they are Tailed Beasts, from the moment they are born, they are in a fate of being constantly captured by humans. It is impossible for them not to hate this kind of life. It's just, can he trust the humans in front of him?
Just then, Bunpuku on the side suddenly spoke.
"Kazekage-sama! ? Let me persuade the Six-Tails! ?"
"! ! !"
Rasa was stunned, not understanding why Bunpuku suddenly took the initiative to speak, but he soon understood.
"However, I need Kazekage-sama's permission, because Shukaku wants to come out."
Of course, Rasa had no reason to disagree.
As the Tailed Beast chakra in Bunpuku's body erupted, the huge body of the One-Tail Shukaku also appeared...
In an instant, on the desert at the edge of the entire forest, three huge creatures stood there, covering the sky and the sun...
