Chakra Thirst

Katsuyu's appearance and response changed Jiraiya's attitude towards Takara, an uncertain attitude, but he still insisted on knowing what happened to Naruto.

It was a point from which he would not move.

"Okay, but you haven't heard it from me or they'll come to kill me," Takara responded as if he was giving up, hoping he would leave him alone standing over Katsuyu.

He wasn't going to withdraw support from him until Jiraiya was gone.

—A blue-haired woman dressed in a black robe with red clouds printed on it took that boy away. Initially she was going to break up with me so as not to leave testimonies, but more people approached the scene and seemed to prefer to take the blonde boy with her, so she surrounded him with papers and they walked away from her. It was also her idea for him to testify that the culprit was Otogakure.

Jiraiya became suspiciously silent when he heard the part of the paper.

—The woman, can you describe her? "Him," he asked, as if he wanted to confirm a suspicion.

Takara gave him an exact description of Konan's appearance.

"Oh, and she had a paper rose in her hair," he concluded.

"I see, so it was her..." Jiraiya rubbed his chin as he looked in the direction of Amegakure. "I guess I owe them a visit for a long time."

-That?

"Nothing, it doesn't matter," Jiraiya shook his head. "Are you going to follow me to Konoha?" I can assure you that Suna won't dare say anything and you will be treated well.

"Go fuck a toad," was all Takara's response.

Jiraiya felt bitter, his emotions were tumultuous at the moment and he just wanted to have a drink to clear his thoughts.

"Okay... Takara," Jiraiya said, remembering what Katsuyu called him. "Just know that after getting Naruto back, we will have a serious conversation."

Whether or not it was real that he was Tsunade's son, it doesn't change the fact that he had the slug contract that had been monopolized by Konoha since its founding.

Let sage mode leak to other villages?

That would be a disaster against his interests!

The positive part was that although he couldn't locate Takara, the toads knew where Katsuyu lived and if necessary he could go there.

Having the information he wanted, Jiraiya left for Amegakure and Takara waited with crossed arms for him to go away, he stood still for a few minutes before looking at the ground to the right of him.

—Are you really going to leave or are you just going to let me watch your clone leave?

Takara could see with the Tenseigan that Jiraiya was still underground and that the person who left was not the real one, so to teach him a lesson, he asked Katsuyu to act.

—Sticky Acid Tongue!

Katsuyu spat into the hole in the ground that the clone came out of earlier and the real Jiraiya came out of his hiding place scared.

How did the brat manage to find him?

Was he a sensitive ninja?

—It was just a joke—Jiraiya rubbed his neck with his hand while with the other he fanned it to make light of it—In any case, see you another day!

He didn't know if it was because he was afraid of another round of acid, but this time Jiraiya left honestly, leaving no clones, toads, tadpoles, or anything else behind.

—Mr. Jiraiya is the same as always —Katsuyu breathed a sigh of relief, although she would confront him if necessary, she preferred not to harm Tsunade's companion if it was not necessary.

As for the acid?

She knew she could react in time.

Probably…

Really matters? The toads could cure it.

"I'll retreat then," Katsuyu said, sensing that the sea was not too far away and with a large cloud of smoke, he disappeared, leaving Takara suspended in the air.

…

The search did not go well, the noxins searched the entire coast, but there was no news.

That meant one of two things.

The egg was carried by someone or was in the sea.

The noxins were capable of traveling on land and in the air, but they would fall like stones into water.

He needed to make water puppets, but they couldn't be too big or he wouldn't be able to sweep a large surface area effectively.

He couldn't just take out another Tier Harribel.

Maybe he could make noxins in a piranha-like version?

Two days later.

"I didn't expect Kokuo's egg to be wrapped in thick algae at the bottom of one of the sea crevices," he said to himself as he waited for his new puppets to finish raising the egg. the puppets!

In the end she was inspired by the movie Ponyo on the cliff, replicating a lot of the fish that should have enough strength to climb the egg without problems.

Half an hour later, Takara managed to get the egg to rest firmly on the beach.

—The egg even has barnacles stuck to it, I'll have to brush it or something.

He wasn't going to put strange things in his seal!

One afternoon later, the biju egg was as good as new and Takara tossed it into the workshop, where he proceeded to seal it for three days while he also recycled the tailed beast.

—Interesting—Takara felt the condition of the altars after finishing the sealing work—The resonance is connecting the tailed beasts, but it is in a subtle way.

The time has come to carry out the plan.
