After hearing this, Sakumo finally relaxed.
"That's good."
"Oh right!"
"Kumogakure's negotiation team has arrived."
"At the same time, they brought the Raikage's son, Yotsuki A, with them."
"They said the wound you caused contains a strange invasive power. They have no way to heal him and want to ask for your help."
"They're willing to pay a certain price."
"What do you think?"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Akira put down the book in his hand and smiled.
"So they still haven't solved it?"
"Now that's interesting."
"Then let's save him."
"After all, they've already surrendered."
"If we refuse treatment, the negotiations will probably collapse."
"And afterward, Kumogakure definitely won't let the matter rest."
After all, that was the Raikage's son.
"Mhm! That's what we thought as well."
Sakumo nodded.
"Let's go then!"
Akira immediately stored the sealing books into his spatial ring with a flip of his hand before standing up.
Under Sakumo's lead, the two headed toward the command tent.
The moment Akira entered, he saw Yotsuki A lying on a stretcher in the middle.
At the moment, his face was pale like gold paper, completely bloodless, looking as though he could die at any second.
"Hm?"
Akira immediately noticed something unusual after sweeping over him with his esper senses.
Rubbing his chin, he glanced toward Blue B and the others.
"You people are actually fairly smart."
"You knew to temporarily seal the blood vessels on both sides of the wound to stop the bleeding."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted this long."
After hearing this, Killer B immediately exploded in anger.
"You bastard, yarou! Konoyarou! Isn't all of this your fault in the first place, yarou!"
This guy was actually still speaking sarcastically at a time like this.
If he weren't unable to defeat Akira, Killer B would've already attacked.
Fortunately, Gyūki inside him stopped him.
However, his strange rap-like way of speaking gave everyone present a massive headache.
Blue B helplessly glared at Killer B before bowing slightly toward Akira.
"We ask that Lord Akira please help treat A."
"We are willing to agree to one reasonable condition."
"Moreover, this is also a prerequisite for our surrender and signing the treaty."
"I hope you can fulfill this request."
"Oh?"
Akira rubbed his chin thoughtfully after hearing this.
Then he looked toward the noisy Killer B nearby before speaking to Blue B.
"If you want me to save him, that's fine."
"My condition is very simple."
"Give me some Eight-Tails chakra."
"Not much."
"Just enough to fill this sealing scroll."
As he spoke, Akira seemingly took out a blank energy sealing scroll from his clothes, though in reality he had retrieved it from his spatial ring.
This was something he had personally created recently while studying sealing techniques.
He had specifically prepared it in anticipation of encountering tailed beasts one day.
Long ago, Akira had already wanted to obtain tailed beast chakra to use for exchanges and see whether he could obtain something valuable.
After all, tailed beast chakra was essentially the power source of the Divine Tree Fruit.
And the Divine Tree itself grew by absorbing the planetary origin energy of the ninja world.
Therefore, chakra itself could also be considered a form of origin power within the chakra system.
The value of such a thing should naturally be extremely high.
"What a pity. Back at the eastern frontline, I forgot to extract chakra before killing the Three-Tails."
"Especially the Three-Tails. It's already dead now. To revive it again, I'll have to wait three years."
"The same applies to the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails."
"What a perfect opportunity that was."
"I should've directly cut off one of their tails on the battlefield and sealed it away. That would've saved me this trouble now."
"What?!"
After hearing Akira's condition, Blue B and the others' expressions immediately changed drastically.
"That's absolutely impossible!"
Killer B also angrily shouted at Akira:
"You bastard, yarou! Konoyarou! Don't even think about it!"
"Little Eight is my partner!"
"I will never sacrifice him!"
Blue B took a deep breath before staring at Akira.
"Please change the condition."
"This absolutely cannot happen."
Tailed beasts were strategic weapons.
"Heh…"
Akira smacked his lips playfully after hearing this.
"So it seems you don't value Yotsuki A's life as much as I imagined."
"I only have this one condition."
"If you agree, I'll save him."
"If not, then let Yotsuki A wait for death."
"I'm not even asking for the Eight-Tails itself."
"I'm merely curious about tailed beast chakra and want to study it a little."
"And tailed beast chakra isn't nonrenewable either."
"You people are way too stingy."
"There's no sincerity at all."
Blue B nearly exploded from anger upon hearing this.
You're the stingy one!
This was tailed beast chakra!
Blue B's face flushed red with fury, while the other Kumogakure representatives looked much the same.
Meanwhile, Killer B fell silent.
On one side was his older brother.
On the other was Little Eight.
He was caught in an impossible dilemma.
If Akira truly refused to save his brother without receiving tailed beast chakra, then what would happen?
At that moment, Blue B angrily spoke up.
"Are you certain you want to force us like this?"
"Aren't you afraid we'll abandon negotiations and resume the war?"
This was practically a direct threat.
Sakumo and the others narrowed their eyes slightly upon hearing this.
"Oh?"
Akira merely raised an eyebrow while looking at Blue B and the others.
"So you're sure about that?"
"Looks like I still haven't beaten enough fear into you people."
"You want to continue the war?"
"Fine by me."
"I'd be more than happy to."
"Don't worry."
"This time, I'll completely crush Kumogakure."
"When that happens, capturing Jinchūriki alive will be easy."
"At that point, I can extract as much tailed beast chakra as I want."
"I could even raise them like breeding livestock if I wished."
At this point, Akira narrowed his eyes toward Blue B once more.
"So…"
"Are you certain you want to continue this war?"
He even looked eager for it.
Blue B and the others fell silent.
What the hell…
Not only had the threat failed—
They'd been threatened in return.
Wasn't Konoha always preaching peace?
How had war become something so casual coming from this brat's mouth?
Inside Killer B, Gyūki shuddered after hearing Akira's words.
"Raise us like breeding livestock? Is this brat planning to farm us indefinitely for chakra extraction?!"
That was absolutely not the kind of fate he wanted.
At this moment, Gyūki truly began seeing Akira as some kind of monster.
This kid simply wasn't human.
To think he could actually come up with such a terrifying idea—and say it so naturally.
Immediately, Gyūki communicated with Killer B.
"B! Agree to it."
"Otherwise, your brother is finished."
"It's only some chakra."
"It's not a big deal."
Killer B froze for a moment after hearing this.
Then tears instantly poured from his eyes as he emotionally covered his face and sang:
"Wuwu… Little Eight! You bastard, yarou! Why are you so good to me?! Oh yeah~!"
Gyūki: "…"
He suddenly regretted helping this idiot.
I helped you and you're still calling me a bastard?
If I couldn't tell you were genuinely touched, I'd slap you right now.
Nearby, Sakumo, Blue B, and the others all looked at Killer B with utterly baffled expressions.
Blue B deeply regretted bringing Killer B along.
Killer B then turned toward Akira and solemnly declared:
"We agree to your condition!"
"Please save my brother!"
As he spoke, he took the sealing scroll from Akira's hand and opened it.
Tailed beast chakra immediately surged around his body in the form of a chakra cloak.
Ignoring Sakumo and the others' vigilance, he began pouring Eight-Tails chakra into the scroll.
