In Konoha Village, Haruno Sakura, who possesses medical ninjutsu and intelligence, has gradually begun to share some of the tasks of intelligence compilation. Her comprehensive abilities have enabled Sakura to adapt quickly in many aspects.

In a short period of time, the continuous requests for assistance from the interrogation department and the body disposal team made Sakura a little exhausted, but fortunately, the situation gradually stabilized after a period of time.

Although it is inevitable to let Chunin take on more tasks, no matter what level of ninja, they need to reserve a certain amount of time for training, especially when most tasks are carried out indoors without leaving the house. If they are not exposed to combat for too long, they will gradually relax. Especially for young ninjas like Sakura who have a heavy training task, they need to arrange their time reasonably.

Fortunately, the recent courses have slowly gotten on the right track, and I have gradually begun to have some idea of ​​the unfamiliar chakra control practice.

A layer of crimson chakra wrapped around Sakura's right arm, and then she swung her fist on the ground, causing the land in front of her to shatter. The destructive power was even greater than when she used her earth escape technique - Earth Spear with all her strength. This was the result of Sakura intentionally weakening the output due to poor control.

“What a powerful force!”

Sakura has been puzzled for a long time about this chakra that she had to work so hard to use, but Mizuki had said that if she couldn't master it, this development direction would be over. Fortunately, she finally had some clues recently.

After the preliminary results were shown to Shuimu, the restrictions on his further practice were finally lifted, and he could now do the original exercises alone.

Under Haruno Sakura's careful control, the tailed beast chakra attached to her right arm kept changing shapes, hands, claws, knives, swords, giant hammers, etc., and only stopped when her mind and body could no longer bear it.

While Sakura was practicing, in the grove not far from the training ground, Tenzang, wearing an animal mask, observed for a long time, then disappeared quietly without attracting anyone's attention.

Half a day later, an observation report was placed on Tsunade's desk.

"Tailed Beast Chakra?"

This issue is a bit tricky. The spread of the tailed beast's chakra is not allowed. If too much of these magical creatures, which humans have not fully understood, are exposed to humans, there may be some unexpected dangers.

However, the inheritance between masters and apprentices in the ninja world cannot be arbitrarily interfered with by simple orders. If all dangerous forbidden techniques were to be controlled, Might Guy would not have learned the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, let alone taught this technique to Rock Lee.

There are many people who study the chakra of the tailed beasts, but most of them use it in a barbaric way like Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Some people like Mizuki have retrieved multiple samples, and it seems that they are trying to establish a complete set of methods to utilize the power of the tailed beasts. This kind of exploration is certainly worthy of recognition, but after the method of using the power of the tailed beasts is cracked, the status of the Jinchūriki, which is already embarrassing, may be further impacted.

"It is certain that Mizuki and his disciple Haruno Sakura are not Jinchūriki. Without the qualifications of a Jinchūriki, forcibly using the tailed beast's chakra may not be very effective. It is better to catch a tailed beast and seal it up. With Mizuki's strength and attainments in sealing techniques, it should not be impossible."

Mizuki is doing this kind of thing with half the effort and twice the result, and he even passed this method on to Sakura, which is really puzzling.

Tsunade pondered for a moment and then instructed Tenzo:

"Surveillance is temporarily cancelled. I will handle this matter!"

"yes!"

After everyone in the office left, Tsunade hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind.

He bit his finger and used the blood to perform necromancy, and a slug with dark blue stripes on its back was summoned.

"Tsunade-sama, what do you want from me?"

Among the summoning beasts of the Three Ninjas of Konoha, the slug is the largest. The entire Wet Bone Forest is its habitat. Because its body is too huge, it uses its unique ability to split into small slugs.

A rare and kind-hearted super-large psychic beast, the slug's aura seems to become weaker as its size shrinks.

"Shengyu, I want to ask you something..."

Shengyue is the name of the slug. It has been a long time since Tsunade had such a serious discussion with her summoning beast.

"You're welcome. What's the matter?"

"Regarding the tailed beasts, I want to know what their origins are, since they are called the incarnation of disaster by the world!"

"I'm not sure either. This seems to be the work of the Six Paths Sage. No one knows the specific circumstances."

Tsunade was somewhat disappointed when she heard the answer from the Summoning Beast Slug.

"You don't know either, have there ever been a ninja in history who was not a Jinchūriki but could use the power of a tailed beast?"

"Aren't you clear about this question too? Lady Tsunade, the Sharingan and Wood Release are the best means to subdue the tailed beasts."

"Anything else?"

"Well, let me think about this!"

Shengyu's head had no facial features at all, except for a particularly conspicuous big mouth that was tilted high. His fleshy tentacles were also shaking slightly, indicating that his body was thinking at an accelerated pace.

"Someone who is not a Jinchūriki and can use the power of the tailed beasts will occasionally appear, but even if they can use the power of the tailed beasts, few of them have a good ending!"

"So dangerous?"

Tsunade suddenly felt a bit of a headache. Compared with other ninja villages, the powerful Konoha did not have an advantage in the research of tailed beasts. Several Jinchūriki were members of the Uzumaki family, and the seal was very stable, with very few problems. With excellent sealing methods, as long as they could drive this power, there would naturally be no motivation for further research. Instead, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village showed signs of catching up in this regard.

"The power of the tailed beast is definitely not something that ordinary ninjas can withstand, but there are many smart guys among humans, there will always be a way!"

"Understood!"

Tsunade nodded. Katsuyu was reminding herself that focusing on the power of the tailed beasts was too narrow-minded. It seemed more valuable to explore the essence of the tailed beasts.

"Now, there is a bold guy in Konoha Village!"

With Mizuki's strength, there is basically no need for him to consider the power of the tailed beasts anymore, so there must be other reasons that make him focus his attention on these dangerous creatures.

"Nothing dangerous should happen!"

After all, the object of Mizuki's research is only the chakra of the tailed beasts, not the tailed beasts themselves. Even if they get out of control, they won't be as difficult to deal with as the Nine-Tails did more than a decade ago.

Putting this matter aside for the moment, Tsunade picked up another document at hand. The photos marked with bounties were crossed out with a marker, indicating that the counter-mission against the Akatsuki organization was nearing completion!
