Rendezvous

Fengtian was very fast. He was already agile, and after mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, his movements became even faster.

In just half an incense stick's time, he arrived at the front gate of Sunagakure.

At this moment, he was backed by the night, carefully lurking in a dark corner, watching everything that was happening in front of him.

Seven or eight Sunagakure ninjas, each holding a scroll, were gathered around a massive gold sand sealing array. As they continuously formed hand seals, more and more densely packed runes appeared on the massive gold sand.

Meanwhile, four ninjas were casting a makeshift barrier around them, firmly establishing a sturdy defense. Clearly, they had made extensive preparations as a precaution...

"This is reinforcing the seal..."

"Could it be that Shisui and the others have been sealed away?"

Fengtian's eyes widened in surprise. He couldn't believe that two legendary genius ninjas could be sealed so easily.

After a brief moment of shock, Fengtian composed himself, then closed his eyes and began to sense Shisui and Sasori's chakra.

A moment later, Fengtian slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips as he secretly rejoiced:

"As expected, I knew things wouldn't be that simple..."

"That Shisui is really clever; he must have cast an illusion on Rasa when he wasn't paying attention..."

Through Fengtian's perception, there was absolutely no trace of Shisui or Sasori's chakra within the sealing array!

According to Fengtian's guess, it must have been Shishui who cast an illusion on Luosha, which led Luosha to mistakenly believe that he had successfully sealed the two of them!

His ability to successfully deceive Luo Sha was also related to his anxious state of mind. If he had been able to calm down and examine the situation carefully, he would definitely have discovered the trickery!

Let's get back to the present...

Fengtian guessed that Zhishui and Xie had successfully left this place and might have already arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet.

Without further hesitation, he continued using the Flying Thunder God Technique, swiftly disappearing towards the retreat markers he had prepared along the way...

.....

At the scorpion's burrow on the other side

Shisui and Sasori were sitting on the ground. After such an intense battle, even the two genius ninjas were feeling a little tired.

"I'll go meet them at the door. You stay here and get some rest..."

After saying this, Zhi Shui slowly got up. Seeing that Feng Tian had not returned for a long time, he wanted to go to the cave entrance to meet him.

If Fengtian had not returned by then, he planned to sneak into Sunagakure Village alone and bring Fengtian back.

"cut..."

"what ever..."

Scorpion pouted in dissatisfaction, looking at Shisui with a displeased expression.

Although he escaped danger with Shisui's help, the proud young man still couldn't bring himself to agree with Shisui's point of view.

So he took out several scrolls, released the puppets inside, and then began to repair the puppets damaged in the previous battle...

Seeing this, Shisui simply smiled slightly, and then his figure quickly disappeared, appearing at the cave entrance the next moment.

To Zhi Shui's surprise, less than half an incense stick's time had passed when, with a flash of light from the [Flying Thunder God] mark beside him, Feng Tian's figure appeared before him.

"How's the situation? Have the Sunagakure ninjas discovered it yet?"

When Shisui saw Fengtian appear, a smile appeared on his face. However, he knew that his little tricks would not be able to be kept secret for long. He was worried that if Sunagakure found out, they would be furious and send pursuers to search for him. Therefore, he asked.

"Your methods are brilliant; the Sand Village won't be able to detect them for now..."

"Besides, I left a surprise for Luo Sha there, so we should be safe for the time being..."

Fengtian spoke calmly, then looked at Zhishui in front of him and gave the latter an approving look.

But before Zhishui could speak again, Fengtian seemed to suddenly remember something, and changed the subject, asking:

"By the way, where's Scorpion? Did he come back with you?"

Upon hearing this, Shisui smiled faintly, then glanced into the depths of the cave and replied:

"He came back with me and is currently in the cave repairing his puppets..."

Upon hearing this, Fengtian's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and sighed:

"It seems the operation went smoothly, and everyone is safe and sound."

Although that's what they said, Fengtian knew in truth just how much they had paid for this One-Tailed Chakra...

First, there's Sasori. Needless to say, almost all the puppets he currently controls, including the Third Kazekage's puppet, were almost completely destroyed in this battle.

As the main player, he suffered the most severe losses!

If we were to repair all those damaged puppets, how long would it take?

If Fengtian's "Reversing Cause and Effect" technique were still usable, it could save a lot of time. Unfortunately, in this battle, due to the arbitrary alteration of "cause and effect," Fengtian's eyesight and pupil power were severely damaged!

If he doesn't transfer the One-Tailed Chakra to the Gedo Mazo as soon as possible, his Mangekyou Sharingan may suffer permanent damage.

On the other hand, Shisui, although not seriously injured, has had his identity exposed, which may cause considerable trouble for the Uchiha clan of Konoha.

This is the only thing that Shisui finds troublesome at the moment. Even though he has nominally defected from Konoha, he still cares about Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

"Now that this matter is settled, what's next?"

Shisui couldn't help but ask, because in his eyes, completing the "Eye of the Moon" project as soon as possible and creating a world without war and smoke was the most important thing.

"As for Sasori, let him go to the next place to capture a tailed beast on his own..."

"As for us, let's return to Konoha first, and then reunite with Sasori..."

Fengtian spoke calmly, his next move already planned out in his mind.

He must collect enough tailed beasts to strengthen himself before anyone can react.

Once the entire ninja world reacts and begins to unite to protect the tailed beasts, things will become increasingly complicated!

Upon hearing this, Shisui nodded slightly in agreement.

At this moment, eager to advance the [Eye of the Moon] plan, he was also preparing to head to the next location to capture the Tailed Beasts, but then he asked:

"Where is the next place to capture a tailed beast?"

"What tailed beast was captured?"
