As for Yahiko's body, he had no intention of touching it. Taking it would at most mess with Nagato's mindset, but new ones would still appear.

Leaving a rotten one for him to deal with was enough. As for finding someone now, he had to do what he said, and leaving a deep impression wasn't bad.

He gripped the black rod tightly, then closed his eyes and slowly began to perceive. In a moment, his expression became a little strange.

He raised his head, his gaze directed towards the sky, and after a while, he murmured.

"They ran really fast…"

— — —

The morning sun cast its light upon the earth, and a new day began.

However, at this moment, the residents of Takigakure all looked terrified. Everything from last night was truly beyond their comprehension.

Takigakure originally resided hidden behind a waterfall, surrounded by green waters and lush mountains.

But after a night of fierce battle, not only was the waterfall's entrance almost blocked, but everything outside seemed to have changed.

Flames burned incessantly, the lush trees had long been completely broken, and what was once a harmonious scene now looked as if it had been ravaged by war.

"Last night was truly terrifying…"

"Indeed, are those Konoha Ninja? But who exactly were the enemies?"

"I don't know. What I'm most worried about now is whether they'll come again, after all, last night…"

"Don't say anymore, just listen to the elders' arrangements."

Inside Takigakure, many people were whispering about everything from last night. Meanwhile, in a room, someone entered carrying a stack of documents.

"Jiraiya-sama, these are the documents you requested, they're all here."

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Jiraiya immediately stood up, smiled and nodded, then looked a little embarrassed.

"Sir, we truly didn't expect things to turn out this way last night."

"It's also thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise…" The old man shook his head and nudged the dark-skinned girl beside him.

"Fū, quickly thank them. If it weren't for them, you would have been in trouble last night."

"Thank you."

Fū immediately bowed, but her gaze was a little strange as she looked at Takemi .

This made Takemi gulp. Could she have noticed something?

"Then I won't disturb you all. I'll take my leave now."

The old man didn't want to stay any longer, with such a big incident, he also needed to handle things.

With that, he immediately left with Fū, and after they left, Jiraiya sighed.

"Last night was too chaotic."

"It's already good, it ended relatively smoothly." Tsunade, who was treating the Fourth Raikage, heard this and glared at Jiraiya.

She said, "But they retreated so decisively. And what exactly was that Jutsu?"

Indeed, they fought fiercely last night, but as Takemi caused a huge commotion, the battle instantly stopped.

With Obito forcefully using Kamui, Kakashi couldn't easily stop him, and those guys left silently.

"That's a Mangekyo Sharingan Jutsu. Kakashi will tell you about it." Jiraiya looked at the documents in his hand and slightly sighed.

"It's a pity, many things still can't be figured out."

"We'll figure it out later. Let's first look at that guy's information. Takigakure seems to call him Kakuzu?" Takemi muttered from the side.

Since Pain lost, the battle naturally ended. Dragging it on wouldn't benefit anyone.

"Right, let's look at the data first." Jiraiya nodded, then murmured.

"It's just too difficult. Those guys are running everywhere, so it's impossible to determine where their base is."

"…"

Takemi pursed his lips. He felt that this attack was most likely because these guys sensed Jiraiya was about to investigate the Land of Rain.

That's why they had to use some special methods to divert Jiraiya's attention, as Nagato would absolutely not allow Amegakure to be exposed now.

"Forget it, who cares? Anyway, my gains this time aren't small."

Walking to the window, Takemi looked down at Fū, who was leaving with the old man, and smiled.

[Completed Side Mission: We All Strive to Live]

[Reward: Seven-Tails' Chakra]

Observing the information on the panel, Takemi nodded with satisfaction.

Although he was inexplicably interrupted by Obito, that lunatic, he still got what he wanted overall.

Even if it was a bit regrettable that he couldn't get wild Tailed Beast Chakra to try.

"But this way is also safer, after all…"

Thinking of Fū's gaze just now, Takemi even wondered if she had discovered him last night.

Fortunately, after they finished looking at the documents, they were almost ready to leave, and Takemi was truly eager to return home now.

Because…

"My eyes are reacting again!"

Takemi didn't know if it was due to the battle or the system's reward of Seven-Tails' Chakra.

He could clearly feel that his eyes seemed to have a strange fluctuation, a fluctuation that felt like the 'quickening' before a new life is born.

This feeling seemed somewhat like 'fetal movement'.

"Are my eyes going to evolve?"

He raised his head, his gaze directed towards the sky. He didn't know what these newly forming eyes would be like.

He didn't even know what direction these eyes would take, but he hoped they would be the Tenseigan from the moon.

However, very quickly, his expression became strange again.

"Wait, I remember the Tenseigan has three colors: blue, gold, and purple. If it really is the Tenseigan, which one will I get?"

Takemi was fantasizing about the future, while Tsunade had finished treating the Fourth Raikage.

"Seriously, I have to deal with this again, it's so troublesome!"

"Hmph."

The Fourth Raikage snorted coldly but didn't speak.

However, Jiraiya, who was rubbing his temples, suddenly spoke, "How about we just release him? After we finish looking at the documents, we'll return to Konoha. Are we supposed to take him back with us?"

"That's… also true."

Tsunade was also a bit troubled. Releasing him was troublesome, but taking him back was also troublesome. Since Jiraiya had decided, she had nothing more to say.

"Release me? In Takigakure?"

But the Fourth Raikage was stunned when he heard this, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"No! Don't! I'll go back to Konoha with you!"

"…"

When the Fourth Raikage heard Jiraiya intended to release him, a bad premonition immediately arose in his heart.

"This bastard wants to release me in front of these Takigakure people, and then have that brat come and kill me, right?"
