Naruto: Reincarnated as Sasuke Uchiha with Perfect Talents.

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Determining the Capture Target



"Which two tailed beasts?"

Orochimaru glanced at Haku beside him before speaking.

"One is the Three-Tails. This tailed beast has been free since the previous Jinchuriki died!"

"It seems to be hiding somewhere, and the exact location is under investigation."

"The general location has been determined. If we want to capture the Three-Tails, it should be the easiest!"

The Three-Tails, Isobu, is indeed a good choice.

For Kimimaro, the Three-Tails should be enough.

"The other is the Jinchuriki, the Iwagakure ninja Rōshi. My intel says he's left the Land of Earth and is carrying out a mission somewhere!"

"So, at this moment, capturing the Five-Tails Jinchuriki is also a good choice!"

"But the Iwagakure ninja is no easy opponent. He's known as the 'Steam Ninja.'"

"Also, his location is not very certain. We've found a few possible places, but you'll need to investigate further to pinpoint his exact location!"

One is the Three-Tails, and the other is the Five-Tails.

As for other tailed beasts, there's no need to mention them.

For example, the Nine-Tails is in Konoha!

Even if I say it, can we really go to Konoha and capture the Nine-Tails?

Obviously not possible.

There are also some Jinchuriki whose whereabouts are unknown, and even Orochimaru can't easily find them.

So now, the only tailed beasts available for Sasuke to choose from are the Three-Tails and the Five-Tails.

At this moment, Kimimaro had also arrived.

Sasuke saw Kimimaro's figure.

Capturing a tailed beast and healing Kimimaro was a win-win situation for Sasuke right now.

First, he could heal Kimimaro and repay the favor for saving his life.

Second, the system had given him a mission: defeat any tailed beast to obtain the Wood Release training method.

In this case, looking for a tailed beast became an obvious decision. Even if it weren't for Kimimaro, Sasuke still needed to find a tailed beast.

"Kimimaro, you're just in time. What do you think?"

As the person involved, Sasuke still wanted to consult Kimimaro's opinion.

However, Kimimaro looked at Sasuke and said, "Lord Sasuke can decide; I have no particular opinion!"

Alright!

It seemed that Kimimaro had placed himself in a position similar to Orochimaru's.

Orochimaru didn't care about Kimimaro's opinion.

He was just looking at Sasuke.

"So, Sasuke-kun, which tailed beast are you planning to go after?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke furrowed his brows.

Between the Three-Tails and the Five-Tails, in terms of ability...

The Five-Tails would likely be more helpful to Kimimaro. The Five-Tails, with its Lava Release powers, could make Kimimaro's strength even more formidable.

The Corpse Bone Path combined with Lava Release—superhuman strength—would make the combat power boost much more than just a simple addition.

But going after the Iwagakure ninja was tricky. First, the location was still uncertain, and secondly, it would be harder to handle.

Sasuke hadn't started learning sealing techniques yet.

He didn't know how to extract the tailed beast from the Jinchuriki and seal it into Kimimaro's body.

Moreover, Rōshi was a perfect Jinchuriki who could control a tailed beast.

Even if Sasuke managed to seal it into Kimimaro's body, there was no guarantee that Kimimaro could perfectly control the tailed beast's power.

So, in comparison, the Three-Tails seemed easier.

After all, the Three-Tails had already lost its Jinchuriki, so it would be easier for Kimimaro to subdue it.

"Then let's capture the Three-Tails!"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru nodded, "Alright! When do you want to set out, Sasuke-kun?"

Orochimaru initially thought that Sasuke would wait for some time, as he was still busy training the techniques from the Book of Seals.

It would take a while before Sasuke could find time to leave.

But what Orochimaru didn't know was how eager Sasuke was for the Wood Release training method.

"Let's leave immediately!"

"I'll pack up, and we can go!"

Kimimaro didn't seem surprised, but Orochimaru was quite taken aback. Were they really planning to go already?

Was Sasuke that eager to help Kimimaro?

Orochimaru found it a bit unbelievable.

"Lord Sasuke, please, no matter what, take me with you!"

Haku suddenly spoke up, asking to join.

Sasuke nodded, "Alright, let's go together!"

Packing up meant just gathering some ninja tools—shuriken, explosive tags, soldier pills, and so on.

At the same time!

Sasuke also needed to bring something crucial.

The Book of Seals!

Sasuke couldn't leave it at the base in the Sound Village.

Moreover, he could also practice some of the sealing techniques on the way.

The Book of Seals contained many techniques, some of which could be used to seal tailed beasts.

What Sasuke needed wasn't to completely seal the tailed beast's power, but to seal the tailed beast's will, allowing its chakra to flow out.

For Kimimaro to use.

"By the way, Sasuke-kun, when you get there, someone will tell you the approximate location of the Three-Tails!"

"There's also one of my bases in that area, and you can use it freely!"

"Good luck!"

When Sasuke reached the base exit, he turned to look at Orochimaru.

Sasuke actually had one more request he wanted to ask Orochimaru.

"By the way, Lord Orochimaru!"

"I have one thing I want to ask you for help with!"

Asking for help?

This was unusual. Orochimaru was curious about what Sasuke wanted.

"After we return this time, I wonder if you could let me sign a summoning contract with the Ryuchi Cave!"

Summoning beasts were quite helpful in battle.

However, in Haku and Kimimaro's eyes, this statement seemed to imply that Sasuke wanted to apprentice under Orochimaru.

And Orochimaru himself thought the same.

But Sasuke had no such intention.

Nevertheless, this interpretation pleased Orochimaru.

If someone like Sasuke were to inherit his legacy, that would be quite wonderful.

What kind of change will a ninja trained personally by oneself bring to the entire ninja world?

Just thinking about it is exciting.

"No problem! After Sasuke-kun returns, we can begin!"

Was it really that easy to agree?

After returning, Sasuke would be able to sign the contract with the Ryuchi Cave and head to the sacred land to learn the Sage Mode of the Ryuchi Cave.

With the Sage Mode from the three great sage lands combined with the self-breathing Wood Release and the ability to absorb natural energy...

Sasuke would no longer have to worry about chakra in no time.

And at that point, with an abundance of chakra, Sasuke would be able to perform even more terrifying jutsu and bring them to life in this world.
