#215 - Chapter 215 Yahiko Arrives
The different conditions of the Four-Tails and Six-Tails directly reflect the intricate relationship between the Jinchuriki and the Tailed Beasts!
Why did Rasa say that the relationship between the Four-Tails and its Jinchuriki seemed to be quite good?
Besides the fact that the Four-Tails could transform into a complete Tailed Beast, there was another reason: as long as the Tailed Beast was extracted before the Jinchuriki died, the Jinchuriki's death would not greatly affect the Tailed Beast's life.
Yet, even so, the condition proposed by the Four-Tails was to guarantee the life of its Jinchuriki, Roshi!
The Six-Tails was much more straightforward.
Of course, Rasa had no objections, as the Tailed Beasts were somewhat of a burden to him and the Sand Village.
He had no intention of claiming these two Tailed Beasts for himself!
Because he had no inclination to play any games of mutual understanding with these Tailed Beasts.
Treating them simply as chakra weapons was already his last act of kindness.
And just as Rasa was obtaining the chakra of the Four-Tails and Six-Tails, the Sand Village welcomed two groups of guests.

Wind Country, Sand Village.
After experiencing the Tailed Beast turmoil, the Sand Village temporarily put aside all external affairs and focused on rebuilding the village. Chiyo, Ebizo, and others also temporarily returned to the village to oversee matters, while only Bunpuku returned to the Dragon Oasis.
Thus, another two days passed.
At dawn, Yekura, having received a message from the Anbu, left the Sand Village with several bodyguards.
Before long, they saw five ninjas wearing black cloaks with red clouds standing on the edge of the desert where the Tailed Beast explosion had occurred.
That's right, these five were the current leaders of the Akatsuki organization. The three at the head were naturally Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, while the other two were Kyuzo and Daibutsu.
Before the Sand Village's Tailed Beast turmoil had erupted, Yahiko already had the idea of visiting the Sand Village, but as the leader of Akatsuki, many things were not his sole decision. When he proposed this idea, although Akatsuki had already established cooperation with the Sand Village and helped the Sand Village resist some of the Hidden Rock Village's ninjas, some differing opinions within the organization still prevented Yahiko's idea from being realized.
In general, the ninjas from the small countries within Akatsuki could enjoy the benefits brought by the cooperation with the Sand Village, but it did not mean that they were willing to submit to the Sand Village. Yahiko's sudden change in attitude made everyone a little worried.
Until the latest news arrived...
At this moment, the five Akatsuki members who had just arrived here, looking at the huge canyon that appeared before them, all had their pupils shrink and their expressions turn ugly.
"Hey, are you kidding me? Is this the power of the Tailed Beast? This destructive power..."
Kyuzo said with cold sweat flowing down his forehead.
Daibutsu's expression was also unpleasant.
"That Kazekage actually protected the Sand Village in the face of such a monster? This is already a power beyond our comprehension. No wonder the Kazekage now has the title of demigod... No... I have witnessed Lord Hanzo's power, and even Lord Hanzo in his prime did not have such power..."
Konan looked at the huge canyon that had no visible boundaries and her face was also a little pale.
She looked towards Yahiko and Nagato.
Unexpectedly, Yahiko gave her a reassuring smile.
"It seems that we can be completely relieved and don't have to worry about this Kazekage attacking us!"
Everyone was stunned, and then smiled wryly.
Indeed, with this kind of power, there was no need to go to such trouble to deal with their Akatsuki organization.
Just then, Nagato also noticed the Sand Village ninjas approaching rapidly in the distance.
"The Sand Village ninjas are here!"
The two sides soon met.
Yekura looked at the three Akatsuki members in front of her, who could be considered acquaintances, and her expression was a little strange.
Yahiko took the lead and said.
"Sorry, Lady Yekura, for visiting at this time. I hope we haven't brought any trouble to the Sand Village!"
Yekura was a straightforward person.
"Of course there's trouble!"
Yahiko's expression stiffened.
"Logically speaking, in this sensitive period, our Sand Village does not receive any foreign guests, but, strangely enough, when the Kazekage received your Akatsuki's request to visit, he actually seemed very happy and specifically asked me to receive you!"
"Really? That's really great!"
Yahiko really seemed a little happy this time, but the other four looked at each other with strange expressions.
"No need to be too grateful, you are not the only guests today!"
"Ah!?"
Yahiko was immediately taken aback, but Konan asked curiously.
"Are there other people visiting the Sand Village today?"
"Yes, it's the priestess from the Land of Demons! You came at a good time, all on the same day!"
"I see!"
The Akatsuki members also understood that everyone knew about the relationship between the Land of Demons and the Sand Village.
"Alright, follow me!"
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
Under Yekura's leadership, the Akatsuki members walked towards the Sand Village.
As they got closer, the five Akatsuki members also noticed that the ground under their feet began to turn pitch black.
Seeing this, Yekura explained.
"This used to be golden desert, but the sand here was melted by the Tailed Beast Ball. After cooling, it formed obsidian-like rock, so it turned black here."
Hearing this, Yahiko asked in surprise.
"That is to say, this is all stone, doesn't that mean nothing can be planted."
Yekura looked at Yahiko as if he were an idiot.
"Nothing can be planted in the desert in the first place!"
Yahiko, who had come to the Sand Village for the first time, said in surprise.
"So the environment of the Sand Village is so harsh?"
Seeing this, Yekura's tone softened slightly.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing, at least after the land here turned from desert to this kind of rock, it blocked the wind and sand from the surrounding desert. Besides that, we also obtained a lot of stone for building houses. Finally, isn't it impossible to plant anything in these rocks?"
"? ? ?"
The Akatsuki members looked puzzled, but soon their doubts were resolved.
As the Sand Village gradually came into their view!
On the surrounding black earth, patches of green began to appear.
Looking closely, they saw the stones under their feet cracking open, and small green plants extending their trunks from within. The closer they got to the Sand Village, the more these green plants grew, and the stronger they became.
When they arrived at the Sand Village, what appeared before them was a scene completely like a paradise.
A beautiful city surrounded by flowers, grasslands, and forests...
