Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 584: Chapter 519: Gifts from Nature Chapter 584: Chapter 519: Gifts from Nature Shaman would accept the recruitment because the benefits provided were plentiful.

However, he was also aware of the risks involved.

It was just that he only needed to act covertly, and this time, he wanted to ambush the Spice warehouse, which had its advantages and a backup plan.

As long as everything was done cleanly, he himself had a puppet marked with a seal running around the Rainforest, providing a solid alibi.

Later on, he could continue to collect double the salary.

But now that he was caught red-handed or captured alive, the situation was completely different, and the outcome awaiting him was going to be rather dismal…

“Fourth Raikage, Ai, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki…”

Meanwhile, Yecang had already, along with Kisame, surrounded Ai, who had just been blasted into the mountain.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was still controlled by the peculiar wooden figures accompanied by the Tree Boundary.

There wasn’t much tumult at the scene anymore.

Treya took out several shackles from her space equipment and threw them to Yecang.

“Put these on them, and let’s wait for him to return.”

“Yes.”

Yecang knew that Pioneers always had some strange items, and then, looking at the severely injured Ai, he said,

“Yecang…”

Ai was also aware of the intelligence on Yecang, a top-tier fighter from the Village Hidden by Sand.

Thinking about his current predicament, he sighed as he looked back at the restrained Eight-Tails.

Kirabi surely must have been restricted not to undo the Eight-Tails form and escape.

His own pride in his speed had been utterly useless in front of that man.

His indestructible body felt as fragile as a porcelain doll under just one strike from the adversary, with cracks all over his bones and many broken.

Given his current state, facing the famous Yecang and several other Jonin around was simply degrading.

Yet, blue electricity began to emerge from him as he sighed and said,

“Ai who does not surrender, come then, let’s see just how capable the hero of the Village Hidden by Sand really is!”

Treya, in her armored skirt, turned her attention to the commotion; ninjas, indeed natural combat material.

And yet he was preparing to strike back under such circumstances!

“Stop struggling.

You should know about Mr.

Tao by now, he holds grudges.

If you resist further, it could provoke him to retaliate against the Village Hidden by Clouds.

You wouldn’t want your village to suffer because of you.”

While Yecang was a standard mission-oriented Ninja, he too knew how to hit Ai’s weak spot.

His words made Ai’s expression stiffen.

Despite having the Third Hokage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, the thought of that man’s terrifying power made Ai’s pain intensify.

“Our Village Hidden by Sand also had some misunderstandings with him, got reprimanded, and after signing a treaty, the village didn’t suffer any losses.

In fact, it has received new opportunities for development.”

Yecang added more fuel to the fire and then threw out the shackles.

“Putting down your pride for the village is a choice tougher than death.”

Ai was straightforward, but with Yecang putting it plainly and thinking of Kirabi and the village, he sighed and picked up the shackles and put them on himself.

But just then, as a Dragon’s Chant came from the sky,

A giant dragon shadow broke through the clouds and dove down.

Chasing someone required utmost speed and Dexterity and spared no expense, but on his way back, Tao Yu naturally wasn’t in as much of a hurry, invoking the Alien Dragon to rejuvenate while returning.

Seeing the almost drained Eight-Tails nearly sealed by the Demon Tree Boundary, Tao Yu didn’t hesitate, descending directly onto the head of the exhausted Eight-Tails, who seemed nearly unable to maintain his Tailed Beast form.

He reached out directly for the head of the Eight-Tails.

Pssht~

The armored Sealing Technique broke at the touch, encountering Tao Yu who completely subdued the Tailed Beast, Kirabi had no ability to resist and was extracted by Tao Yu, who immediately tossed him into the Innate Barrier to be processed.

This quintessential villainous act made Ai, who had just put on the shackles, seethe with fury.

“Damn!”

Jinchuriki being stripped of Tailed Beasts meant death!

Tao Yu watched his own brother, Kirabi, die before his eyes, Ai burst into rage.

And Tao Yu just glanced at him indifferently,

“There’s no feud between us, yet you’ve attacked my business with the Tailed Beast Ball.

If I wasn’t slightly skilled in martial arts, I fear I would have been killed by you robbers.”

Ai was left speechless by Tao Yu’s words, unable to retaliate.

But seeing Kirabi’s body, bereft of the Tailed Beast and life force, falling through the vines with tears streaming down his tiger-like eyes,

“It’s all my fault, I was blinded by their interests.

Why wasn’t it me who died!”

Ai knelt on the ground, continuously pounding the earth.

Despite the shackles on his hands, his punches shattered the ground.

Even the surface of the shackles that restrained him started to crack, but Ai was oblivious, sunk in endless self-blame.

With the triple influence of the Instigator, Provoker, and Plotter, Tao Yu also found that his ability for verbal sparring had improved substantially, surprisingly effective.

Ai’s heart’s weaknesses became more pronounced.

“I have an ability that comes with a price, capable of saving him.”

Tao Yu stood by Kirabi’s body, providing Ai with a glimmer of hope.

“Are you insane?

He’s dead, what price could possibly bring him back?

Don’t be foolish, it’s not worth it.”

Treya was initially just checking out the two characters brought back on the Alien Dragon and was startled by Tao Yu’s words.

She quickly leaped to his side and warned him.

Her genuine response without any pretense made Tao Yu give her a nod of approval.

This cooperation was simply perfect.

Seeing Treya, clad in a battle skirt looking gallant and formidable, Tao Yu also thought she looked quite adorable in that outfit and decided it might be good for her to wear it next time…

However, upon hearing Tao Yu and Treya’s conversation, Ai quickly said,

“Sir, the attack was all our fault!

But I still beg you, save him, even if it costs my life!”

“Heh, do you think I’d take your life directly if I wanted it?”@@novelbin@@

Tao Yu scoffed, noting that Ai’s temperament was much more fiery and straightforward compared to Rasa.

In fact, this wasn’t quite fitting for a Kage.

Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Ai was also momentarily stunned.

Right, if he wanted to kill me now, it would merely be a matter of lifting a finger…

“I want Village Hidden by Clouds’ allegiance, and also the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Of course, in exchange, I will ensure the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki’s life.”

Tao Yu laid out his conditions.

But Treya urgently said,

“We have other ways to form alliances.

Now with Sand Hidden Village and Village Hidden by Mist, another Shinobi Village isn’t worth it, it’s unnecessary!”

Upon hearing Treya’s words, Ai became panicky, fearing Tao Yu might retract his offer,

“I agree!

I agree to everything!

I’m the Fourth Raikage; I can make this decision for the village!”

Although Village Hidden by Clouds still had the Third Raikage.

But once Ai made his stance clear, the situation was already decided.

For a Shinobi Village, what’s needed is a future and hope, just like how Chiyo and Ebizo from Sand Hidden Village didn’t contradict Rasa’s decision.

This easily conceded Village Hidden by Clouds appeared even simpler.

“Remember they also have that ‘Heaven-sent Technique’?

It’s somewhat like a teleportation formation, though with significant restrictions and not as far as a Teleportation Device, but it should still hold some value.”

However, he vaguely remembered that the ‘Heaven-sent Technique’ wasn’t really a Space Ninjutsu but just purely brute-force high-speed transportation, and whether it could work outside the Ninja World was uncertain.

Having not seen it before, it was hard to make a final judgment.

Yet securing the Eight-Tails and the soon-to-be-acquired Two-Tails, plus some of Ai’s Lightning Style changes, and among others, the forthcoming captives would yield Gold Coins and intelligence.

This was at least a substantial gain.

With what that so-called Lord Ten’s abilities displayed, together with three World Breakers causing chaos, this would be enough to impress that rich young lady, enough even to clear past debts and leave a surplus!

Thank Nature’s bounty…
