Chapter 139: The Death of Another Traveler.
At Mount Myoboku, Manji was enjoying his meal, and after finishing his main course, he had some oranges.
"We are all one family. The spiritual world is one family. We should help each other in the future."
Wanci peeled an orange as he spoke.
He then slowly stepped down from the stage, giving one segment of the peeled orange to the White Snake Immortal, one segment to the Monkey Demon, one segment to the Slug, and one segment to the Toad Maru. He then stuffed the last segment of the orange into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
The spirit beasts nodded as they tasted the oranges.
"Well said! I think the Great Immortal should be the one to govern our spirit world!" the Ape Demon said, slapping his thigh.
"Yes, in the Spirit World, whether it's a great immortal's land or a small spirit beast, they should all be under the jurisdiction of the great immortal," Gamamaru chimed in.
The White Snake Immortal and the slug nodded.
Manci smiled, realizing he was already a powerful figure in the ninja and summoning worlds.
"Hehehe, let's discuss things together. If you're in trouble, I'll lend a hand," Wanci said with a smile.
Then, Wanci raised his teacup and said loudly, "I hope everyone can come to my next thousandth birthday!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression tightened, and the scene became somewhat quiet.
Wanci paused slightly, oh dear, he forgot, he forgot that they all have lifespans.
"Immortal, I should be able to."
Black Zetsu was the first to chuckle and raise his glass.
Kaguya Otsutsuki also spoke calmly: "I can too."
"My lord, I can too..." the slug said.
Just as they raised their glasses in a toast at Mount Myoboku.
The eight clans have begun a joint attack on the Two-Tails.
The Two-Tails was no match for the combined forces of the eight clans and was forced to unleash its Tailed Beast Sign.
In the sky, a signature unique to the Two-Tailed Fox appeared.
The one closest to the Two-Tails is Shukaku.
Shukaku immediately rushed over!
Then I got trapped in it too.
The combined strength of the eight clans is terrifying.
------
The birthday banquet has ended.
The once bustling crowd and the constant sounds of congratulations in the main hall gradually faded away as the guests departed.
Only a few candles flickered in the corner of the hall.
Wanci stood alone in the very center of the main hall.
What are you waiting for?
Wanci had been waiting here for a long time, from the climax of the birthday banquet until the end of the event. In the end, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally sank.
"What happened...why didn't they come?"
He murmured softly a thousand times, his voice tinged with a hint of disappointment.
"Even sending me a dead eagle would be better than this complete silence..."
After speaking, Wan Ci let out a soft sigh.
In truth, he knew better than anyone else that he couldn't blame the nine tailed beasts for ignoring him.
In previous years, he deliberately concealed his whereabouts and pretended to have disappeared. He had made a solemn promise to the nine tailed beasts to take action to restore order to the ninja world and bring peace to the world, but he never fulfilled that promise.
The tailed beasts are inherently pure-hearted and value promises. Now that he has broken his promise, it is understandable that the other party is unwilling to keep the appointment. If he were in his shoes, he might make the same choice.
"Fine, if they don't want to come, they don't have to."
Wan shook his head repeatedly, completely letting go of his obsession, and turned his gaze to the mountain of birthday gifts piled up beside him.
"In that case, let Bai Jue send them some things as an apology."
The birthday gifts were piled higher than a person, and a dazzling array of them filled one side of the main hall.
The toads of Mount Myōboku brought rare spiritual insects and herbs, or offered carefully crafted elixirs. Even the usually inconspicuous White Zetsu prepared their own gifts, piling them up into a small mountain.
He had more than he could eat or use all of these things by himself, so rather than letting them gather dust, he decided to give them to the nine tailed beasts.
To ease tensions between them.
With this in mind, Manji specifically ordered the toads of Mount Myōboku to work through the night to prepare giant food exclusively for the tailed beasts.
Once the food was prepared, it was all stuffed into the summoning scroll and sent by White Zetsu to the nine tailed beasts.
Just as Wanci bent down to organize the birthday gifts to be given out
When preparing the reel
A White Zetsu appeared.
"Great Sage! Urgent intelligence has arrived from the ninja world! The eight major clans—Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Sarutobi, Shimura, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka—have formed an allied force and are currently exerting all their efforts to capture the Two-Tails Matatabi and the One-Tails Shukaku stationed at the border!"
White Zetsu immediately reported.
Wan's hands, which had been arranging the birthday gifts, suddenly stopped. His originally calm eyes instantly turned sharp, and his aura also deepened!
"What? The eight clans joined forces to capture the Tailed Beast? When did this happen? Why are you only telling us now?"
Wanci frowned and asked.
"Great Immortal, this is what just happened. There was a slight delay due to information about the birthday banquet," Bai Jue replied respectfully.
Wanci sighed slightly upon hearing this.
Several hundred years have passed since the last Tailed Beast Pact, and Shuichi and Izumi's promise not to capture the Tailed Beasts has gradually become invalid.
"Fine, I'll go myself."
He said it ten thousand times, and then left in an instant.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
On the battlefield, Shukaku and Matatabi were utterly annihilated.
"Something's fishy here. Why are all the tailed beasts so weak?"
Senju Shirako said uneasily, with a hint of doubt.
"Perhaps it's because the One-Tailed and Two-Tailed were weak to begin with, and the tailed beasts in the future will definitely be stronger."
Uchiha Gen replied calmly.
Meanwhile, Shukaku and Matatabi
"Shukaku, I'm counting on you from now on," Matatabi said solemnly.
Shukaku nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."
After saying that, a resolute glint flashed in You Lü's eyes, and he began to attack like a madman.
Uchiha Gen immediately released "Nameless".
The little girl immediately activated Amaterasu and set it ablaze with fire.
Instead of hiding, he was determined to die.
Ultimately, under the combined attack of the Eight Tribes Alliance, the Eight Tribes Alliance accidentally killed You Lü.
"Hey! Couldn't you Uzumaki clan have been a little more restrained? Now look what's happened, the Tailed Beast is dead!"
Senju Shira looked at the Uzumaki clan leader with a resentful expression.
"Chief Senju, even my Reaper Death Seal was not enough; I was already holding back. If it weren't for the Uchiha's Crimson Flame, we would have captured him long ago."
The vortex clan leader shouldn't be blamed for this.
"Alright, alright, clan leaders, we still have the One-Tailed Beast, don't we? If the Two-Tailed Beast dies, so be it."
The Nara clan chief stepped forward to offer advice.
Just then, a portal appeared out of thin air in the center of the battlefield.
It appeared 10,000 times.
The moment Manji appeared, he immediately caught the attention of the Eight Clans Alliance, with tens of thousands of ninjas staring intently at him as he appeared out of nowhere.
"Where did this old man come from?"
"Are you from your clan?"
How did he get there?
The crowd was discussing it.
The eight clan leaders instantly looked at Wan Ci with expressions of extreme apprehension.
He completely ignored their gazes.
He came here on his own, not wanting to deal with these people; he just wanted to take Shukaku and Matatabi away.
Moreover, it was his birthday, and he had no intention of killing anyone or drawing blood.
"Shukaku? And Tabita?"
Manji frowned as he saw Shukaku covered in bruises, and felt uncomfortable.
The moment Shukaku saw Manji, he burst into tears and cried in front of everyone.
"Teacher! She...she was murdered by them!!!"
Shukaku said, weeping bitterly.
Upon hearing this, Wan Ci's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt momentarily dazed, as if struck by lightning.
"What? Another traveler died?"
