Samui meticulously analyzed the intelligence on the young girl who had defeated Ay, hoping to uncover her true identity, as it was impossible for a powerful young girl to appear out of thin air in Konoha.
"Huh!" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she remembered Killer Bee mentioning that there was a young Uchiha girl in Konoha with a bounty of 320 million Ryo, which even the Raikage was somewhat tempted by.
"You are Uchiha Ling, who has a bounty of 320 million Ryo, right?"
Samui asked the leisurely Uchiha Ling, and although it was a question, her tone was absolutely certain.
"Ah, no, I'm not."
"What? How is that possible?" Samui was a bit dumbfounded. Had her analysis been wrong? She was indeed an Uchiha girl, and so powerful. It was impossible for the Uchiha to have two such existences.
"Tch! Listen closely, I am now Uchiha Ling, with a bounty of 320 million Ryo, not 300 million Ryo. Don't get my worth wrong."
Second Body was displeased that her worth was underestimated, showing no fear despite the high bounty; instead, she seemed rather smug.
"Are you insane?" Samui suppressed her anger, closing her eyes and muttering to herself not to get angry, but her fists audibly cracked as she clenched them.
She was truly defeated by Uchiha Ling's thought process. Was she concerned about the bounty? She was concerned about the name, alright?
"Uchiha Ling, I heard you are Tsunade's disciple. Please heal Ay, otherwise, if Ay dies, your Konoha's schemes will also fail."
Dodai was also an intelligent strategist. After hearing the conversation between Samui and Uchiha Ling, detailed information about Uchiha Ling flashed through his mind.
Mainly, Uchiha Ling's bounty was too astonishing, leaving a particularly deep impression on him. He knew she could use Medical Ninjutsu, and immediately felt happy, believing Ay was saved.
Although the intelligence did not state whether Uchiha Ling could use Medical Ninjutsu, it was impossible for Uchiha Ling, as Tsunade's disciple, not to know Medical Ninjutsu.
In fact, they had all been deceived by the false intelligence, a smokescreen released by the Third Hokage. In reality, Uchiha Ling was his disciple, and she was placed under Tsunade's name to protect the Hokage's disciple from being targeted.
Although she had already been targeted with a bounty of 320 million Ryo, it was all Black Zetsu's fault.
The main reason was that Second Body's strength at that time was only Chunin-level, which led to this outdated false intelligence. However, it did coincidentally lead Dodai to the correct conclusion; she indeed knew Medical Ninjutsu.
"Hmph, no way. It took me so much effort to beat him half to death. Now you tell me to save him and I save him? Wouldn't that make me look bad?"
Second Body turned her head, disdaining Dodai's words. Uchiha Ling merely disliked war, she did not fear war. With her Yin Seal Chakra reserves, she could fight the ten thousand Ninja of Hidden Cloud Village for three days and three nights.
Three days and three nights would be enough for her to slaughter one-third of the ten thousand Ninja army. If she ran out of Chakra, she would use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, and once her Chakra recovered, she would return to kill again.
Minato had originally intended to agree on Second Body's behalf, but he didn't expect Second Body to react so strongly, so he just scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.
"Baka yarou, kora yarou, no healing, then war!"
Killer Bee anxiously watched Ay grow weaker and weaker, barely resisting the urge to launch two Tailed Beast Balls.
"If you want to fight, then fight. Before the war starts, I'll kill a few of you here first. If Hidden Cloud Village loses a Jinchuriki and two Kage-level Ninja, I wonder if you'll still dare to start a war."
Second Body only said this casually. Given the Third Raikage's nature, if she killed his son, Killer Bee, and Dodai here, he would 100% initiate a war.
Even if Hidden Cloud Village was destroyed, he probably wouldn't care. Hidden Cloud Village was a Village with a dark, gang-like attribute, and most of its people weren't very bright.
(Uchiha Ling: As if anyone else is bright.)
"Tell us, what are your conditions? Since you haven't left yet, it means it's not impossible to negotiate."
Samui knew that for Uchiha Ling, whether she healed or not didn't matter. Therefore, paying a certain price to heal Ay was not out of the question.
"You should have said so earlier. A healer's heart is benevolent; how could I not treat the injured? I want the Lightning Release Chakra Mode training scroll and Eight-Tails' cells and Chakra. How about it? It's very cheap, isn't it?"
Second Body was not one to let an opportunity pass. Now that she was bargaining, she naturally made an exorbitant demand.
"Impossible. The Lightning Release Chakra Mode is a secret technique of our Hidden Cloud Village, the foundation of Hidden Cloud Village. Absolutely not, choose something else."
Dodai rejected it without hesitation. As for the Eight-Tails' cells and some Chakra, he didn't care; various Villages had researched Tailed Beasts, but very few had achieved results.
"How stingy. It seems you think the next Raikage is not as important as a mere Lightning Release Chakra Mode, huh?"
Second Body knew Ay could still hear, so she immediately started sowing discord, putting ideas into Ay's head to cause trouble for Dodai in the future, although the possibility was very low.
"No matter what you say, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode cannot be given to you. You can change your request."
Dodai also understood the meaning of Uchiha Ling's previous words, but he didn't care. An upright person fears no slander. The Lightning Release Chakra Mode concerned the survival of Kumogakure, so it could not be handed over.
"Alright then, how about you give me your Lava Release Bloodline Limit Chakra fusion training method and Lava Release Chakra? How about that? This only concerns yourself, you wouldn't be reluctant, would you?"
Although Dodai's Lava Release was different from Roshi's magma and Kurotsuchi's volcanic ash, his rubber-like Lava Release was quite interesting.
"Okay, but don't blame me if you can't learn it." Dodai wasn't afraid of others learning his Lava Release, not because he didn't teach it wholeheartedly, nor because there was any problem with the training method; it was simply difficult.
Since he fused the Lava Release Bloodline Limit, he had tried to teach it to some talented Kumogakure Ninja, but no one had learned it to this day.
That flash of inspiration, people who haven't experienced it simply cannot successfully fuse Chakra.
"Very good, pay first. I need to check if there are any issues." Second Body held out her hand, speaking to Killer Bee and Dodai.
"Alright, here are my insights on Lava Release Bloodline Limit training."
Dodai pulled out a scroll and threw it to Uchiha Ling.
After a quick glance, Second Body, who had experience with Bloodline Limit fusion, found that the scroll had no problems other than being described in a somewhat mystical way.
Second Body then sealed some of Dodai's Lava Release Chakra, planning to prepare for future Bloodline Limit research.
"Here are the Eight-Tails' cells and Chakra you requested." Killer Bee grew a section of the Eight-Tails' ox-demon tail, then cut it off with his Ninjato.
After careful inspection, Second Body found no issues. Her Curse Power sensing ability detected the life essence of the cells, and Second Body then sealed this section of the tail.
Regarding Tailed Beast cells and Chakra, Second Body had new plans. If successful, she might even be able to have her own Divine Tree.
