The Jinchūriki has always been regarded as a symbol of the military power of the Ninja Village. Because of its excessive and unstable power, it has been ostracized and monitored for a long time.

A Jinchuriki like Yagura who suddenly became one of the Five Kages can be called a pioneer.

"Rules are there to be broken. He is not a rule-abiding person."

"Having said that, I still think it's a bit crazy. But even if it's true, is he willing to share his experience of controlling the tailed beasts with perfect Jinchūriki to us?"

This is the method of raising a perfect Jinchuuriki, and its value is immeasurable.

Even in Kirigakure Village, it is the highest level of top-secret information and cannot be easily known to outsiders.

"In exchange for something of equal value, Yagura will not refuse."

Although we have reached an alliance with Yagura, there are some things that cannot be shared for free.

It is precisely because of the alliance that we have reached, and these things are related to the real interests of both parties, that we should maintain a philistine face and haggle over things at the negotiation table.

Just like Yagura sent people to inspect and study here in the Demon Country, Shiraishi's donation was not free, but had to be exchanged with Kirigakure Village for things that the Demon Country did not have.

Only in this way can the alliance be maintained for a long time.

He and Yagura undoubtedly understand this. Although it is incredible, if both sides always want to take advantage of the other, then the relationship between the alliance will be truly fragile.

"Something of equal value?"

Lin secretly gasped.

If this is the case, then the Kingdom of Ghosts will have to prepare for a massive hemorrhage.

Everything that has been earned from Kirigakure Village so far will probably be poured out all at once, and even part of it will be repaid.

"A way to control tailed beasts?"

The letter written by Shiraishi himself was delivered directly to Yagura through secret channels in less than two days.

Yagura began to think about Shiraishi's desire to acquire Kirigakure Village's tailed beast control technology in the letter.

Tailed beast technology has always been an extremely important research topic in the five major ninja villages.

Only the five major ninja villages are qualified to touch this top-secret technology.

Apart from this, only Takigakure Village has tailed beasts, but it is said that the Nanao of Takigakure Village was lost in an accident more than two years ago, and the Nanao is currently missing.

And Shiraishi's acquisition of Kirigakure's tailed beast control technology at this time... seems to be a hint that the Kingdom of Demons also has tailed beasts.

Tailed beast technology is very important, but the prerequisite for this technology to be extremely important is that the ninja village and country possess tailed beasts.

If there are no tailed beasts, then there is no point in acquiring the technology to control the tailed beasts.

It is obviously impossible for Shiraishi to engage in such a loss-making business, but if the military of the Kingdom of Demons also owns tailed beasts, that would be a different matter.

"So, it's very possible that Nanao is in the Kingdom of Demons. It's a good idea to get Nanao in your hands without making any noise."

Yagura sighed.

He didn't have any dissatisfaction with Shiraishi's concealment of Nanao.

It's like he also concealed the fact that he was the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki from Shiraishi. Including becoming the perfect Jinchuuriki, he didn't reveal anything to Shiraishi before the battle with the Third Mizukage.

In terms of their belief in secrecy, he and Shiraishi can be said to be evenly matched.

As for Shiraishi's acquisition of tailed beast control technology, Yagura doesn't have much repulsion.

As long as Shiraishi can give him a price that satisfies him, selling the tailed beast control technology is not out of the question.

But how to negotiate this matter needs to be carefully considered before proceeding. He has not yet thought about what to obtain from Shiraishi. After thinking about it, it will not be too late to negotiate with Shiraishi.

At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded in the room, interrupting Yagura's thinking.

"Come in."

After Yagura finished speaking, with the sound of twisting the door handle, a tall man walked in from outside.

He has short black hair, no eyebrows, and a cross scar on the right side of his face that symbolizes meritorious service. In addition, he carries a beheading knife over two meters behind his back, giving him a sharp and dangerous look.

As soon as he came in, he saw Yagura sitting behind the desk, opening his mouth, revealing a pair of sharp teeth:

"I didn't expect you to win the position of the Fourth Mizukage in the end, Yagura. It seems that the idiot Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon is finally dead."

The man said with a smile, mostly teasingly.

Regarding the man’s casual attitude, Yagura also responded:

"My current Mizukage in the village should show some respect to me, Juzo."

"Have you learned to use Mizukage's identity so quickly to use your power to overwhelm others?"

"Do you really want to be locked up by me? I don't mind changing the owner of the decapitating sword. There are not a few outstanding ninjas in the village who are eyeing the sword in your hand."

The man named "Juzang" curled his lips in displeasure.

"I understand, Mizukage-sama. Please forgive me for being rude just now. However, I am also one of the only two remaining members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in the village. Can you give me some face?"

Hearing Juuzang's request, Yagura stood up from his seat and replied seriously to Juuzang:

"No, as a Mizukage, my face is more important."

"..."

It seemed that it would be impossible to pass the test in the future. Juuzang lamented in his heart.

He could already see that Yagura was different from the Third Mizukage who had abdicated. The ambition and iron-bloodedness in his eyes were about to turn into reality and burst out from his eyes.

The path Yagura's ambition and iron blood will take Kirigakure Village to take is difficult to predict even for him as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"Now that you're back, come with me to a place."

Yagura stood up from his seat.

"Where?"

Juuzang asked curiously.

Yagura paused and said something that made Juuzang's expression change:
