Chapter 407: Tailed Beast Secured
"Let's go to the town ahead and settle down for now."
The Kumo ninja laughed heartily and took the lead.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Nagato and Kakuzu followed him without complaint.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the town. Being close to the pier, it was a bustling and prosperous place. Under the Kumo ninja's arrangements, Nagato and Kakuzu were given rooms in the most luxurious hot spring inn.
The next few days were spent leisurely. The three of them wandered from place to place, but Nagato never once brought up the Tailed Beast.
