Ninja Recruitment System - Chapter 417
Although the people Zhang Miao recruited were not from this world but from another parallel world, they still had the same memories.
So, upon hearing the Fourth Raikage’s words, Nikai, whom Zhang Miao had just recruited, nodded immediately.
“Yes, Raikage-sama, I am Nikai, and I have returned!”
“Hiss…” Hearing Nikai’s acknowledgment, the Fourth Raikage gasped in shock.
Seeing his astonished expression, Zhang Miao burst into laughter.
“Heh heh, it seems Raikage is very satisfied with this person. That’s good. When the Third Raikage is resurrected, you should be even more satisfied. But first, you need to satisfy me. What do you think?”
Hearing Zhang Miao’s words, the Fourth Raikage hesitated momentarily but understood his meaning and nodded immediately.
“Alright, I will cooperate with you. But when will you resurrect my father?”
“Heh heh!”
Seeing the Fourth Raikage’s impatient look, Zhang Miao grinned and waved his hand while laughing.
“Don’t be in such a hurry. I promised to resurrect the Third Raikage within two years, and I won’t go back on my word. So, I hope you won’t forget what you promised me, like the Hades Temple you agreed to build. It’s been more than a year now. Shouldn’t it be finished by now?”
“This…”
The Fourth Raikage had been delaying the construction of the Hades Temple because, besides handling official duties over the past year, he had been verifying whether the “Self-Reincarnation Technique” given by Zhang Miao was actual.
Since it was a forbidden technique that required sacrificing one’s life, the Fourth Raikage didn’t dare to be careless. He gathered elite ninjas from Kumogakure, who had profound knowledge of secret techniques, to study the forbidden scroll of the Self-Reincarnation Technique.
After over a year of research, these ninjas specializing in secret techniques confirmed that the forbidden scroll Zhang Miao gave was honest and could be used to resurrect the recently deceased.
The Fourth Raikage, being cautious, only began fulfilling his promise after getting a definite answer. He designated a piece of land in Kumogakure to build the Hades Temple for Zhang Miao.
Since the construction was delayed, the completion time also had to be postponed. However, he couldn’t tell Zhang Miao this directly, so he lied.
“Well… I have been overseeing the construction of the temple, but due to some unexpected issues, I had to order a rebuild. It should be finished in another six months!”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Miao knew the Fourth Raikage was lying, but he didn’t expose him. Instead, he raised an eyebrow.
“Then I’ll wait another six months. When the temple is completed, I will naturally resurrect the Third Raikage. Let’s hope there won’t be any more unexpected issues by then!”
Hearing Zhang Miao’s double-edged words, the Fourth Raikage shook his head vigorously.
“There won’t be… absolutely no more issues. Rest assured!”
Seeing the serious expression on the Fourth Raikage’s face, Zhang Miao knew he was sincere this time, so he nodded and left the Raikage’s office.
After Zhang Miao left, the Fourth Raikage exhaled profoundly and looked curiously at Nikai beside him.
“Hmm, Nikai, now that you’re resurrected, can you tell me what the world of the dead is like?”
“The world of the dead?” Hearing this, Nikai frowned and shook his head.
“Raikage-sama, I don’t know about the world of the dead. After being ambushed by the Asuma Clan, I heard my master’s call and responded to the summon.”
“Responded to the summon?”
Hearing Nikai’s words, the Fourth Raikage frowned. However, a loud bang sounded outside before he could say anything, and the Raikage’s office building shook violently.
“What’s happening?”
In shock, the Fourth Raikage rushed out of the office to see what was happening.
As soon as he stepped outside, another loud bang echoed, followed by a massive cloud of dust enveloping the Raikage building.
When the dust settled, the Fourth Raikage saw a giant octopus tentacle blocking a massive, black-flame-engulfed cat!
It was the partially transformed Killer Bee and the fully transformed Nii Yugito!
Seeing the two Jinchuriki fighting, the Fourth Raikage was horrified and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Yugito, Bee, stop right now and cancel your transformations!”
As the leader of Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage had considerable authority. So, upon hearing his command, Killer Bee and Nii Yugito immediately stopped and reverted to their standard forms.
Seeing the disgruntled Killer Bee and the furious Nii Yugito, the Fourth Raikage frowned in irritation and pointed at Killer Bee.
“Bee, tell me what happened!”
Hearing the Fourth Raikage’s question, Killer Bee raised his hand.
“Yo… this matter is hard to—figure out, brother, you listen to—me now…”
“Stop, don’t say anything!”
The Fourth Raikage wasn’t in the mood for Killer Bee’s rapping, so he pointed at Nii Yugito.
“Yugito, you explain!”
“Yes!” Nii Yugito glared at Killer Bee and began to explain. “Raikage-sama, here’s what happened…”
As Nii Yugito explained, the Fourth Raikage understood the situation.
The cause was simple: Nii Yugito discovered that Zhang Miao’s belly had grown after returning from a mission. Upon inquiring, she found out it was Killer Bee’s doing. Enraged, she confronted Killer Bee, demanding an explanation. However, Killer Bee denied it, leading to their fight, which ended up at the Raikage’s office.
Before Zhang Miao’s arrival, the Fourth Raikage would have severely reprimanded Nii Yugito and sent her away to avoid causing trouble.
But now it was different.
To ensure his father’s resurrection, the Fourth Raikage inwardly apologized to Killer Bee and then slapped him on the head!
“Bee, you’ve disappointed me!”
Killer Bee: “(?o?)…”
What did I do now?
Feeling confused after being slapped, Killer Bee was given no time to react as the Fourth Raikage continued to shout at him.
“I told you to take good care of Kakui, and now you’ve gotten her pregnant and plan to abandon her. This is unforgivable! I order you to marry her immediately and take good care of the child. Understood?”
“Marry… marry?”
Hearing the Fourth Raikage’s order, Killer Bee was stunned. But he quickly reacted and shook his head vigorously.
“NO! NO! NO! Killer Bee likes—beautiful women, I definitely—won’t marry a man, brother, take—care, I must—escape, oh yeah!”
With a strange cry, thick ink suddenly sprayed out, covering the Fourth Raikage and Nii Yugito.
Eight-Tails’ ultimate escape technique—Ink Spit!
The Fourth Raikage and Nii Yugito’s vision was obscured as the ink covered them. When they regained their sight, Killer Bee was nowhere to be seen.
“Damn it, he escaped!”
Nii Yugito was furious, not because the ink affected her, but because Killer Bee had escaped.
Seeing Nii Yugito’s angry face, the Fourth Raikage wiped the ink off his face and revealed a wry smile.
“Bee used that trick to escape, but it’s for the best. Now that he’s gone, this matter is settled!”
