Chapter 286 They really dare to shout!
Jiraiya was somewhat frustrated, after all, he had led them for three years.
"Konan, given the circumstances at the time, I had to protect Konoha to prevent further chaos. Now that Danzo is dead, can't you forgive me?"
Konan said expressionlessly, "What a joke! Do you think hatred can be resolved just because Danzo is dead?"
"Danzo was a shill for Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he is also a suspect in what happened back then."
Jiraiya said anxiously, "No, Danzo acted on his own initiative. The old man didn't..."
"Enough!" Xiao Nan shouted.
"I don't want to hear Jiraiya-sama say any more of this. Let's get down to business."
Kakuzu's eyes were amused; he hadn't expected Konan to be Jiraiya's disciple.
Jiraiya sighed, then his expression turned serious.
“Very well, I have come here specifically on behalf of Konoha to have a talk with Master Chankong.”
Xiao Nan extended her hand: "Please go ahead."
In fact, Konan didn't harbor deep hatred for Jiraiya, after all, Jiraiya had led them for three years.
However, Jiraiya was too principled; what he adhered to was completely different from the path taken by Konan and Nagato.
Rather than dragging things out and creating further entanglements, it's better to cut ties cleanly and become strangers from now on.
Time has passed, and now Jiraiya is only focused on finding the prophesied child, and spends his time eating, drinking, whoring, and spying.
It's really hard to like it.
Jiraiya bowed to Zenkū, saying, "Greetings, Zenkū."
Jiraiya, seeing Zenku's completely white beard and eyebrows, assumed he was much older than himself, and was very polite.
Zenku looked Jiraiya up and down, then shook his head slightly and said, "Lust can cloud judgment; you should exercise some restraint, benefactor."
Jiraiya was somewhat embarrassed.
However, he just laughed it off: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
“Master Zenku had already extracted the Tailed Beast without harming the Jinchūriki last time.”
"Could this tailed beast also be included?"
Zen Kong shook his head slightly and said:
"This monster is extremely powerful, so we need to select a 'prisoner' and set up the imprisonment technique in advance."
Jiraiya already knew that the Jinchūriki on Zenku's side were called the Imprisoners.
Upon hearing this, he asked, "What are the detainees' requirements?"
Zen Kong's eyes remained calm and unwavering: "A determined adult."
Jiraiya asked curiously, "Doesn't one need to have abundant life force or a huge amount of chakra?"
"The imprisoned should be able to obtain magical beast energy to replenish themselves, rather than consuming themselves to suppress the magical beast."
Zenku represents the ideal state for a Jinchūriki, but in reality, not all Jinchūriki can achieve it.
This involves various factors such as sealing techniques, sealing methods, and the personality of the tailed beasts.
The Nine-Tails' seals were all placed on members of the Uzumaki clan because only the Uzumaki clan's powerful life force could withstand such immense chakra.
But in fact, as long as the sealing technique is strong enough, it can seal anyone, as long as the host is a normal person.
This knowledge was acquired by Qianyao over the past two and a half years, incorporating the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan and the priestess lineage.
He developed and innovated upon the sealing technique.
The reason he has the confidence to say this is because he is the strongest seal master in the world.
Jiraiya had been to quite a few places, but he still didn't know much about the Far East that Zenku had fabricated.
Zen Master Kong has a mysterious background, but his achievements are undeniable. In his hands, Jinchuriki are practically toys.
Jiraiya was also unwittingly drawn into the trap, inevitably falling into blind faith in authority.
They immediately believed what Zenkong said.
"What does the choice of imprisonment technique mean?" Jiraiya asked, getting to the crucial point.
As is well known, the type of sealing technique plays a decisive role in whether or not a tailed beast can be suppressed.
Zen Kong twirled the Buddhist beads around his neck and said, "The method of imprisonment will determine how well you can utilize this magical beast in the future."
"My method of imprisonment will render you completely unable to utilize magical beasts."
"Therefore, we can use your methods of imprisonment instead."
Jiraiya exclaimed in surprise, "Master, you even know our ninja world's sealing techniques?"
Zen Kong reached out and pointed in the air, and a pattern of the Four Symbols Seal appeared in mid-air.
Jiraiya's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Zen Kong was not surprised that he could form a seal in the void; what surprised him was that the other party also knew the Four Symbols Seal.
Moreover, her skill level was so high that it even surpassed that of Minato or Kushina.
"How does the master know the Four Symbols Seal?"
Zen Kong began, “Several years ago, when I was passing through a village, a benefactor shared his insights with me.”
Jiraiya asked, "Where is this village located?"
Zen Kong shook his head slightly: "The people of this village fled after the fall of their country and established it. They do not want to be disturbed."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya stopped asking questions.
When the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, many members of the Uzumaki clan fled to various parts of the ninja world. It is normal that even if one branch established a village and lived in seclusion.
"Using the Four Symbols Seal as a confinement technique is enough to suppress that demonic beast called Nine-Tailed Fox."
Jiraiya had considered this issue before, but he never expected that the other party would even know the Four Symbols Seal.
This isn't a surprise, it's a fucking surprise!
"I wonder what kind of reward Master Chankong would require for helping us change the detainees?"
Zen Master Kong chanted the Buddha's name: "Monks don't need these things."
As Jiraiya typed a question mark, Konan's voice came from beside him.
"Lord Jiraiya, although Zenku-sama doesn't need it, our Akatsuki organization does."
Jiraiya was speechless, it seemed he should talk to Konan instead: "What does your Akatsuki organization want?"
Kakuzu also wanted to know how much money Konan was planning to ask for.
Xiao Nan stretched out one hand, spreading out her five delicate white fingers, the nail polish on which had been completely removed.
"50 billion."
Konan's opening remarks were a bombshell, leaving Jiraiya and Kakuzu both gasping in surprise.
Kakuzu's gaze towards Konan now carried a hint of admiration.
They really dare to shout that!
Currently, Asuma only costs 30 million, and even the clan leader Uchiha Chiyo only costs 200 million.
That would require over a thousand Asma heads or over two hundred Chiyo heads.
The problem is, there aren't that many people in the entire ninja world.
Jiraiya said with a grim expression, "Konan, that's impossible, there are too many."
Konan said nonchalantly, "The Nine-Tails is different from the other tailed beasts."
"Since Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't want to give up the power of Konoha, he will naturally have to pay the price."
Whether you're willing to pay this price or not is your business.
"The price is what it is, and Master Chankong is worth the price if he has the ability."
"Didn't Hiruzen Sarutobi allow so many people to bully Naruto in his early years just to raise Naruto like his dog?"
"What a pity, it was ruined by the Uchiha."
"Naruto, the current Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, is taught by Itachi Uchiha."
"It won't be long before the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki completely returns to the Uchiha clan."
"I'm waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi to be humiliated and forced off the stage."
