Chapter 245 The Correct Use of Tailed Beasts

Uchiha An has finally arrived.

Turtle Demon, leading a group of people from Takumi Ninja Village, followed behind Shin-yu and the other two to the village entrance to greet them.

"Well done."

An first praised Xinyou and the other two a few times, then turned his gaze to Guigui.

"I'm short on time, so I won't waste my breath on you."

"The Land of Fire has decided to annex the Land of River. The ninjas of Konoha will soon be attacking you. You'd better prepare for war."

"What?" The turtle demon's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in fright.

After his horizons were broadened, he went from one extreme to the other, and now he is terrified of the five major powers.

Of course, to some extent, his current judgment cannot be said to be wrong.

Compared to the Five Great Nations, the strength of Takumi Ninja Village is indeed extremely weak.

"Lord An, our River Country is just a small country, and there's nothing worth coveting!" the Turtle Demon said in a trembling voice.

"Who said that?" An gave him a strange look and bluntly stated, "Your ninja tools can be sold to countries all over the ninja world. That's a huge business. How come no one wants to acquire you?"

"The reason why no one has made a move before is partly because Konoha Village wants to maintain the existing ninja world order and will not allow the Land of Wind to annex you."

"On the other hand, other major countries do not border the Land of the River, as they are too far away."

"The current situation is that Konoha Village is now finished. The Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, was killed by his own people, and the Daimyo now calls the shots in the village."

"The Land of Fire wants to swallow up the Land of Rivers to make up for the losses in the previous war."

"What?! How could they do this?!" Turtle Demon paced anxiously, "The Land of Fire is doing this, are they just going to stand by and watch the Land of Wind do nothing?"

"I didn't expect you to have such good political acumen!" An praised with a smile, explaining, "During the previous war, the Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure was captured by Konoha."

"Although he was released at the final Five Kage Summit, Rasa's prestige was severely damaged."

"The Sand Village is currently embroiled in internal strife and has no time to concern itself with the affairs of the Leaf Village."

"And even if they really wanted to get involved, with the military strength of the weakest nation, they couldn't stop Konoha Village in its current state."

After hearing An's words, Gui Gui became even more anxious. He pondered for a long time, and in his desperation, he resorted to trying anything, even targeting his own ancestor.

"No, we have to find a way to revive the Ancestor Qingming. Only by reviving the Ancestor Qingming can we possibly withstand Konoha Village."

"Lord An, our Takumi Village actually has the ability to revive our ancestor, Lord Seimei, but this requires four divine ninja tools and a large amount of chakra."

"Heh, Qingming Festival?" An chuckled dismissively. "An old blacksmith, not a single combat skill, can't even dodge attacks, and has no physical defense skills, really—"

He was about to refuse, but then he remembered the vegetative state patient and changed his mind.

Although Qingming's combat ability is weak, he probably has a good understanding of the soul. You can definitely ask him for advice to improve your pupil technique.

"Alright, Shinyu, give those ninja tools back to Kameki so he can prepare for his resurrection."

"As for a large amount of chakra, that's even simpler."

"Xinyou, you've successfully sealed away the One-Tailed Beast's tail, haven't you?"

"Yes, Lord An," Xin You said with a smile, "The three of us are now imitations of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, our chakra limits have increased significantly, and our stamina has also improved a lot."

"However, compared to a true Jinchuriki, it is still far inferior. After the battle consumes a certain amount of energy, the sealed tail chakra will disappear, and we will have to find Shukaku to replenish it."

"That's enough." An nodded in satisfaction. "Presumably, in order to avoid being sealed away, Shukaku won't mind cutting off its tail every now and then."

"I think this is the correct way to use tailed beasts!"

"It only has an energy tail, but it doesn't have the will of a tailed beast, so there's no issue of it going out of control."

"As long as we discuss it with the Tailed Beasts, we can replenish it after we run out."

"Even if the tailed beast doesn't want to, we can just cut it down!"

"Now that you're a pseudo-Jinchūriki, you'll be in charge of providing chakra for Seimei's revival!"

An settled the matter in just a few words, leaving the turtle demon speechless.

The dream that the people of Takumi Village had failed to achieve in a hundred years was about to be realized so easily.

This is truly a case of "comparison is the thief of joy!"

"Please rest assured, Lord An, I will immediately arrange the resurrection matters, and the resurrection can be carried out today."

The tortoise demon went out and hurriedly gathered the villagers together. He explained the situation and, to everyone's surprise and delight, said, "Resurrecting Lord Qingming requires someone to willingly sacrifice their life. Is there anyone willing to volunteer?"

Originally, Turtle Demon was willing to sacrifice his life to revive the Qingming Ancestor, but after being terrified by An, he naturally began to cherish his life and now wants to find a hothead to replace him.

Sure enough, there are always some spirited and dedicated young people among the young. Before he finished speaking, several people volunteered and raised their arms.

"For the glory of Takumi-nin Village, for the revival of the Land of Rivers, I am willing to give my life!"

The group almost came to blows over this opportunity, but in the end, Kame-ki stepped in and chose the person he was furthest from to carry out this great mission.

Those young people who originally had some opinions about the Turtle Demon changed their attitudes immediately after seeing that they could revive the Qingming Ancestor.

"Ah, I knew it! There was no reason for Lord Kame-oni to compromise with a bunch of outsiders. So he had another purpose!"

"As long as Lord Seimei is resurrected, we don't care about the Five Great Nations or Uchiha An, they will all have to submit to our Takumi Village!"

These flattering words made the turtle demon's face turn green, and he quickly warned them.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"We can discuss everything after Lord Qingming is resurrected."

Although he was full of confidence in the strength of his ancestor, Kameki's fear of Uchiha An was so deeply ingrained that he no longer trusted his ancestor as much.

Once the candidates are selected, the rest is simple: just follow the established plan.

The group arrived at the location of Qingming's cemetery. After a series of actions, the young ninja who was presiding over the ceremony turned into ashes, while Qingming's withered body gradually became plump and rosy.

In a flash of white light, Qingming was revived.
