Chapter 171 - The Three-Tails is Dead, Huh

Deciding to look for Saiken, Naruto unfolded his Kagura Mind's Eye, enveloping the entire Hidden Mist Village inside and out.

At this moment, with the Fourth Mizukage dead, Terumi Mei's camp had gained a significant advantage.

Those old subordinates who followed the Fourth Mizukage, a small number fled when they saw the situation was not good, and most surrendered.

The remaining stubborn die-hards were also gradually being jointly suppressed and annihilated by the ninjas who followed Terumi Mei.

According to this trend, the entire Hidden Mist Village could be pacified within today, and then starting from tomorrow, they would begin a new chapter, completely sweeping the Bloody Mist into the dust of history.

Naruto didn't pay too much attention to these things.

He asked Kurama to share the Six-Tails' Chakra aura, and only used the Kagura Mind's Eye to scan the entire Hidden Mist Village several times, but still failed to find the Chakra aura belonging to the Six-Tails Saiken.

"I remember that the Six-Tails Saiken's Jinchuriki is called Utakata, who is proficient in Water Release: Bubble Ninjutsu, but after becoming a Jinchuriki, he was treated with strange eyes by the people in the village, and lived the common painful life of a Jinchuriki."

"His master wanted to help him get rid of this painful life, so he wanted to pull the Tailed Beast out of his body. Utakata thought his master wanted to kill him, and after going berserk in Tailed Beast Transformation, he killed his master and fled."

"Not only that, because of this misunderstanding, he also left a knot in his heart. He first appeared in Shippuden, when I was sixteen years old."

"There are still more than three years before that point in time, but he's not in the Hidden Mist Village now. Did he defect so early?"

Naruto frowned and thought, but his expression quickly relaxed.

According to the plot description, the Hidden Mist Village was paying attention to the news of the escaped Jinchuriki Utakata. After Terumi Mei took over, she was also working hard to find the Jinchuriki and Hidden Mist Village's strongmen who were wandering outside.

In that case, just wait for a while, until the Hidden Mist Village stabilizes, and then ask Terumi Mei for Utakata's coordinates.

Then just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go over and get some Chakra from Utakata, simple and direct.

As for now, there is no need for me to toss around blindly.

After half a day, Naruto was bored squatting on the roof of the Mizukage Building, setting up a fire to grill barbecue.

The ingredients were taken from the Hot Spring Hotel by a Shadow Clone and teleported over using the Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder Technique.

The reason why Naruto hasn't left yet is that he plans to wait and see if Obito will appear.

For this reason, Naruto killed the White Zetsu who tried to peek at him absorbing Isobu, but he didn't touch the rest of the White Zetsu in the Hidden Mist Village, just to wait for Obito and Black Zetsu to take the bait.

But after waiting until now, he still hasn't waited for anything.

At this moment, Terumi Mei finally initially pacified the entire Hidden Mist Village and began to take over the village's important information and materials with her subordinates.

And the Mizukage Building is naturally an important part of it.

"The Fourth Hokage is dead."

Terumi Mei glanced at Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, who was lying on the ground in front of the gate downstairs, covered in sword marks and lifeless, being collected by her subordinates, and said with a somewhat complicated tone.

Once, many of Terumi Mei's clansmen and friends died under the Fourth Mizukage's cruel policies.

Many excellent young people in the Hidden Mist Village also died because of this, causing her to not be able to find a suitable husband of the right age and character even at such an old age, which is really hateful!

An enemy who she had hated for many years and delayed her life had died just like that, which made Terumi Mei couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, dead."

Naruto bit the meat skewer and answered vaguely.

"Did you see the Three-Tails? Legend has it that when a Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast also dies. I wonder what the specific situation will be." Terumi Mei asked, her eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Although she was busy stabilizing the situation earlier and didn't have time to deal with the Fourth Mizukage's body.

But she had subordinates who saw Naruto fiddling around the Fourth Mizukage for a long time, and she had reason to believe that Naruto had done something.

"After the Jinchuriki dies, the Sealing Space will gradually darken. Because of the existence of the seal, the Tailed Beast cannot escape and will die as the Sealing Space collapses. There won't be any special phenomenon."

"The Three-Tails in Yagura's body is probably dead by now. But Tailed Beasts don't truly die. In a few years, it will be resurrected in a place with abundant Natural Energy somewhere in the Ninja World."

"You can have someone check it out."

Naruto chewed on the meat skewer, his expression unchanged, and the lies came out of his mouth.

Some things, you guessing I did it, and me admitting I did it are two different concepts.

For example, right now, Naruto can play dumb. Even if he exposes that he has the Three-Tails in a few years, so what? What does me catching a wild Three-Tails have to do with your Hidden Mist Village?

Even if you have to ask me for an explanation, I can just give Terumi Mei some money to shut her up. That way, everyone can save face.

But if he admits now that he took the Three-Tails, then even if the Hidden Mist Village doesn't say anything now, they will definitely cause trouble later.

Although Naruto wasn't afraid, it was still troublesome. He was still counting on making a fortune through official-business collusion after Terumi Mei took office.

"Is that so?"

Terumi Mei guessed a little, but didn't expose it. She responded and didn't continue to dwell on the topic.

Her attention was drawn to something else, and she asked curiously, "Natural Energy?"

Natural Energy is a high-end knowledge that only a few people in this world know. Although Terumi Mei is a powerful ninja, she doesn't know about it.

"Yes, Natural Energy. You should know the principle of conservation of energy. The Chakra we ninjas use is composed of spiritual energy and physical energy, and physical energy and spiritual energy are converted from the food we eat."

"But Tailed Beasts don't eat, yet they can constantly refine Chakra. They also need to follow the principle of conservation of energy, and what they absorb to restore Chakra is Natural Energy."

"The so-called Natural Energy is a more advanced energy than Chakra that flows between heaven and earth. People who can use this energy are called Sages."

Naruto explained a few simple sentences, but aroused Terumi Mei's greater interest. She blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "And then?"

"Well, first, congratulations in advance on becoming the Fifth Mizukage. I still have something to do here, so I'll leave first. I'll come to participate in the Mizukage Inauguration Ceremony, and I'll give you a gift then."

Naruto wiped the meat skewer clean, wiped his hands, but didn't answer her question, and prepared to leave.

"Don't go." Terumi Mei stopped Naruto.

Her eyes flowed, and her voice charmingly said, "This one is very curious. What will it take for you to tell this one?"
