Chapter 186 : My Secret Of Capturing Tailed Beasts Was Discovered By Zetsu
Three days later — Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
"Lord Tsuchikage, we can now confirm — the entire squad under Han’s command has been wiped out."
"What?"
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, widened his eyes in disbelief.
Han too?
This was no ordinary loss.
Han was Iwagakure’s Five-Tails Jinchuriki. Unlike Roshi, who wandered the world freely, Han had remained loyal and stationed, serving as a core pillar of the village’s defense.
Onoki rarely dispatched him, precisely for his safety. After all, Jinchuriki were assets of war — targets, treasures, and ticking time bombs all at once. Roshi’s mysterious death had already made the village uneasy.
Now Han — the more stable and arguably stronger of the two — was gone as well.
And the mission?
A small assignment, barely a hundred miles from the village’s borders. No significant threat, no intel warning, nothing unusual. And yet, tragedy.
