At the same time, the group of people who chose to ignore Guy suddenly raised their eyebrows. 

As their gazes shifted, a streak of deep blue was swiftly moving, followed closely by a black light. 

Minato's face lit up with a delighted smile as he looked at everyone and said:

"With this, our team is complete." As Minato's words fell, a pair of teenage boys and girls appeared before everyone. 

The newcomers were none other than the recently mentioned Shisui and Yugito. 

Looking at the azure light emanating from Yugito, Kushina exclaimed with some surprise:

"Yugito, you've successfully entered the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode too!" 

Hearing this, Yugito also flashed a sweet smile and replied, "Yes, Kushina-senpai, how else do you think I could outspeed Shisui?" 

"But it's also thanks to Shisui's cooperation; otherwise, I wouldn't have known how much time I'd waste."

Shisui, who was called out, shook his head helplessly. Despite his mastery of Space-Time Ninjutsu, he was indeed outpaced by Yugito in terms of speed now. 

Whether in endurance or explosiveness, he couldn't match up at the moment.

Before they could delve into further conversation, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan also arrived. 

As if they had agreed upon it, everyone chose to gather at this time. With the arrival of them, everyone's eyes sparkled with excitement.

The Three-Tails had been revived a month ago, so when Asahi assigned the task of collecting Tailed Beast Chakra to everyone, they had already started preparing. 

However, there were only nine Tailed Beasts in total, and there were still seven uncollected ones wandering outside.

It was a case of high demand and low supply; if anyone collected more, it meant fewer chances for others. 

So in this situation, no one would yield to anyone else. 

With the appearance of the Akatsuki trio, the crowd once again erupted into exclamations. "These are members of the Akatsuki!"

"Red hair, Rinnegan, they're the leaders of the Akatsuki!" Among the crowd of onlookers, there was no shortage of residents of the Land of Rain. 

Thanks to the efforts of the Akatsuki, the Land of Rain had gradually departed from its image of constant conflict.

Therefore, while one might not know about the Hidden Rain Village, one definitely couldn't remain ignorant of the Akatsuki. 

This sudden outcry also prompted numerous inquiries from those unaware of the situation.

The already bustling scene became even more noisy. However, neither Minato's group nor Akatsuki's group paid it any mind. 

Standing firmly, Konan directly hugged Kushina's arm and asked excitedly: "Kushina-neesan, is Naruto doing well lately?" 

The anticipated tension didn't arise. Although there was competition among the groups, their relationships were still good. 

Especially during the time when they accompanied Kushina during childbirth, the few girls had developed into inseparable friends.

Especially with Kushina's child, Naruto Uzumaki, after his birth, Konan often visited Konoha. 

This made Yahiko and Nagato, who had their hands full with various Akatsuki matters whenever Konan was away, truly overwhelmed.

As two men not particularly adept at administrative matters, the days without Konan were quite tough. 

They even suspected that Konan had gone to Konoha purely because she was fed up with all the chaos. 

"Naruto is doing great, he's in excellent health," Kushina replied with a smile upon hearing Konan's words. 

Yahiko, noticing the endless conversation between the two, quickly interjected, "Hey, Minato, how's the Tailed Beast collection going? Nagato, Konan, and I have already collected the Three-Tails, Six-Tails, and Seven-Tails."

There was a hint of boasting in Yahiko's words. 

In just a short month, they had managed to collect the chakra of three Tailed Beasts, one of which had just been resurrected, the Three-Tails. 

Their efficiency was commendable. Although Yahiko's voice was not loud, it still managed to grab everyone's attention.

Hearing Yahiko's words, everyone's eyes lit up with surprise. 

Collecting Tailed Beasts wasn't just a matter of finding and capturing them; after all, most Tailed Beasts had their own hosts, and many means couldn't be used to avoid conflicts.

Even the mighty Konoha had only managed to obtain the chakra of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails from Iwagakure, thanks to their capture of the Jinchuriki, Roshi, and the subsequent exchange. 

Seeing the reactions of the others, Yahiko knew he had taken the lead. Their personal intervention had also helped Kirigakure and Takigakure complete two S-rank missions for free. 

"We're a little behind you; the time was too tight, so we've only managed to collect the chakra of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails," 

Minato sighed helplessly. If it weren't for representing Konoha, they could have assisted other villages in completing extremely dangerous missions in exchange for the chakra of Tailed Beasts, just like Nagato's group.

Of course, the prerequisite was having enough strength to overpower those villages. Otherwise, those villages wouldn't allow them to touch their own Tailed Beasts. 

However, despite their strength, they were from Konoha, the largest village in the shinobi world.

Konoha was already formidable enough, and those villages would never give Konoha another chance to become even stronger. 

Although Minato and his team weren't collecting Tailed Beasts for Konoha's sake, they still needed people to believe it. 

After all, in most people's minds, Tailed Beasts were still a strategic weapon for a village.

As Minato spoke, another blonde-haired figure, Yugito, also spoke up, "Shisui and I have collected the chakra of the Eight-Tails, Gyuki." 

Hearing Yugito's words, no one was surprised. After all, as a native of Kumogakure, it was ridiculously easy for Yugito to obtain the chakra of Gyuki, the Eight-Tails.

With Yugito identity, she could probably get whatever he wanted without doing anything. 

When Yugito made the request, the Fourth Raikage immediately agreed on the spot. Although Gyuki was unwilling, with Yugito and Shisui's patient persuasion, he eventually relented.

From there, it was straightforward. Although Yugito wasn't proficient in sealing techniques, Kumogakure had experts in that field. 

Moreover, since Gyuki had cooperated voluntarily, splitting the chakra source was just a piece of cake.
