*************

Ultimately, the two advisers agreed to Jiraiya's request and choice of escorts.

In two days, he would take Naruto and Colt out of the village to find Tsunade together.

Danzo, seeing that the matter was settled, left without a word.

He certainly hadn't given up his obsession with becoming the Hokage. If Tsunade didn't return, or if something was revealed, he'd emerge like a grim lion to deliver a fatal blow and take what was his.

"I get why you're taking Naruto, but why bring me along?" Colt asked on the way back, feeling a bit unhappy.

He hadn't spent much time with Hinata and Ino in the month before the exam, and then he'd been busy with the rebuilding of the village and the hospital work. Just when he finally had some free time, Jiraiya was dragging him off to do more work.

The pervy sage, seeing his annoyed expression rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Haha, it'll be hard for me to convince Tsunade to come back by myself. Your identity can play a big role," Jiraiya explained.

With Colt's connection to Kamiyo Mieko, plus the suspected awakening of the Senju bloodline in him, Jiraiya was pretty sure they could bring Tsunade back to Konoha once she knew. As her friend for decades, he knew too well what his old classmate was missing.

Hearing this, Colt didn't argue any further.

"That makes sense..."

He decided to just go along with it, as he was somewhat interested in meeting the medical ninja who was considered to be the number one in the world.

Seeing Colt agree, Jiraiya smiled happily. If Colt had been unwilling, he really wouldn't have known what to do.

After they parted ways, Colt returned home.

"[Healer's Benevolence System], receive the mission's rewards," he said.

After so many busy days, he finally had time to sort out his gains.

[Congratulations to the Host for his outstanding performance in the Konoha Crush Plan, saving a large number of lives and earning a total of 10,235 points as a reward.]

Over 10,000 points were indeed within Colt's expectations.

In that battle, he'd killed no less than a hundred ninjas, as well as several huge Summoning beasts, which were definitely worth the points.

But that wasn't all. In the following days, he'd received nearly 20,000 points for treating Konoha's wounded.

[Points: 58,369]

Looking at his accumulated points, a flash of joy crossed Colt's face.

He could finally do what he had been anxious for.

"[Healer's Benevolence System], exchange for the Chakra seeds of the Nine-Tailed Beasts."

In an instant, fifty-seven thousand points disappeared, replaced by nine different Chakras that silently merged into his body.

A strange feeling washed over him.

Colt felt his pores opening all over his body, and he relaxed for a moment.

Upon careful sensing, he realized the nine Chakras had completely integrated with his own, and they were still growing.

This was different from being a Jinchuriki.

While a Jinchuriki could use the power of the tailed beast if they were in sync, the two remained distinct. The Chakra of the Jinchuriki was still their own, and the Chakra of the tailed beast remained separate.

But Colt had completely transformed the power of the nine-tailed beasts into his own. Thus, it would be more comfortable and natural to use.

Now he could be called a Ten Tails fledgling.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, what Colt had bought were just Chakra seeds, and it would take time for them to grow to their peak state.

Colt sensed that his body was beginning to undergo some subtle changes, though they weren't immediately obvious.

While this exchange hadn't affected his current strength, the future potential was unimaginable.

For the next step, Colt already had a plan in mind.

Blending the Nine-Tails Chakra didn't mean he was equivalent to the Ten-Tails yet - he was missing a key component: the Gedo Statue.

While he could use the chakra of these tailed beasts as if it was his own, the ten tails was a fusion of them all, and that needed the statue.

Both Obito and Uchiha Madara had to use the Gedo Statue to use the power of the tailed beasts and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki themselves.

Colt planned to exchange for a brand-new Gedo Statue of his own.

However, looking at the 30,000 redemption points needed in the store, he'd have to wait for

now.

*******

In the Akatsuki base cave, several shadowy figures had gathered. Their bodies weren't physically present, but through a jutsu activated by the rings on their hands, they could communicate across vast distances.

Pain, the leader, said indifferently.

"We're all here. Let's start today's meeting."

Deidara asked, surprised, "Are we not waiting for Hidan?"

"Today's matter isn't urgent. If someone is not here, then they're not here," Pain replied, his tone unchanged.

"I've just received news that Orochimaru and Sunagakure failed to deal any massive damage

to Konoha. The Fourth Kazekage was assassinated, and the Third Hokage was killed."

"I need some of you to go to Konoha and check on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

After Pain briefly introduced the purpose of the meeting, he waited for everyone to speak.

Itachi opened his eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet Sharingans.

A trace of unease flashed in his heart. With the Third Hokage dead, no one knew about his deal

with the old man. Sasuke had also lost his protection.

Would Danzo...

"I'll go," Itachi said.

This time, Pain was a little surprised.

Although Itachi usually completed the tasks assigned to him by the organization, he never

volunteered for any tasks.

Usually, it was Hidan's group that was more eager.

Itachi's expression remained calm. "Kisame and I happen to be in the Land of Fire. It's more

convenient."

Kisame grinned and added, "Exactly. I also want to see what Itachi-san's hometown looks

like."

Seeing that both of them agreed, Pain assigned the task to them.

This mission was just for information gathering. There was no need to capture the Nine-Tails

Jinchuriki yet.

The sealing of the tailed beasts had to be carried out in order, otherwise the difficulty would

greatly increase.

When the right time came, it would be the day when the Akatsuki organization would bare its

fangs to the world.

After discussing the matter, Pain dismissed the meeting.

Itachi's consciousness returned to his body, and his eyes looked in the direction of Konoha.

"Sasuke, I wonder how you're faring," he thought.

Kisame had been observing Itachi's expression and asked tentatively, "Itachi-san, it seems you have another purpose for returning to the village, right?"

Although he was Itachi's partner and respected him, Kisame was also a member of the

organization and would deliver any information to Madara and Pain.

Itachi was well aware of this and gave his explanation: "I just want to see how my brother is

growing up. After all, I still need him to test my abilities."

It sounded reasonable and convincing.

Kisame didn't ask any more questions, and the two set off towards Konoha.
