"You are fun!" The Tailed Beast laughed as Enma kept dogging his bubbles and his tails as he chased him on the surface of the sea for several minutes.
"I am surprised you are so fast, Saiken." The Uzumaki expressed his surprise, and then disappeared into the water and quickly substituted places with his Water Shadow Clone that he had hid inside the sea moments ago.
He managed to to do it just in time as a a torrent of water suddenly erupted from the sea, destroying his clone.
Saiken sensed his presence and created majestically tall waves of water, layered over each other, and sent them crashing his way.
"Hey, hey, I thought we were playing..." Enma complained, and heard the Tailed Beast laughed in his mind.
"I want to see what you can do now," he heard the voice in his head and sighed.
"Fine..." he stepped on the water and charged right into the wave, tearing through it with his Lightning Cloak, and appeared in front of the the Rokubi.
He then used Multi Shadow Clones and tranformed them all into mini versions of Shukaku.
"Saiken-sama is the strongest!" They all spoke in unison, and Saiken heartily started laughing at the sight.
The dozens of Shadow Clones then started exploding and the real Enma finished forming the hand seals for his next Jutsu.
"Hold on tight." He told the Tailed Beast, and surrounded it inside a cyclone, which gained momentum and grew more and more powerful.
Saiken laughed even more as he was riding in circles, getting higher and higher from the surface, throughly enjoying getting trapped inside this apocalyptic display of power from the Uzumaki.
"You are awesome!"
Enma grinned at those words.
"I know. Thank you. Can we end this now? I am not going to harm Utakata. I just wanted to take him to a safe place. In case you haven't realised it yet, a group captured Son Goku and his Jinchuriki. They are after you as well."
"Oh..."
He sensed the Tailed Beast trying to contact Son Goku, and then sensed him growing a little sad.
"Fine."
Saiken believed him and stopped controlling Utakata's consciousness, returning to his seal.
The Uzumaki quickly grabbed the Jinchuriki, who was fast asleep, but otherwise unharmed.
He was just very exhausted.
As soon as he had his target in his arms, he dispersed the tornado and landed on the water, carried the man on his shoulder, and walked towards the beach.
He then laid down the body on the sand and panted hard, feeling tired, but his senses were already locked on the Iwa Team, who had watched his battle with the Rokubi, and were soon going to make their move.
"So, how are you able to talk to me? I am not sealed inside of you."
"I can sense you when I am close to you, and I can jump on the mental bond you share with the other Tailed Beasts. I added myself to the connection a while back when I was with Sanbi. You can find me to talk to just like you can find your siblings, but unlike them, I need to be close to you. Right now, I think the Radius is about a thousand kilometres."
"I am impressed. You really are awesome."
Enma smiled as he sensed that Saiken, just like Shukaku and Isobu, was just a kid. They were fun, and even though Shukaku warned him that this sibling of his was very annoying, he just found the Rokubi a little playful.
This was also why the Beast was not actively trying to kill him, and it was due to his persuasion that it had quickly taken over Utakata's consciousness and entered his true form.
"By the way, this was not your true strength. Was it?"
"I am strong, but I can not display my full power as long as I am sealed or..."
Enma raised his brow when he sensed the Six-Tails hesitate. As much as Saiken wanted to tell him something, he was hesitating to say those words.
"It's fine." He gently said, and sensed the Rokubi instantly become happy.
He truly was like a kid.
"So, do you like your Jinchuriki?"
"Not really, but he is kind. A very good person compared to my former Jinchuriki, who was extremely rude and greedy for my powers..."
Enma listened to all of Rokubi's complaints.
"Be careful..."
The Tailed Beast suddenly said, but he already knew what was about to happen and smiled.
Han, the Jinchuriki of Gobi, in his Samurai Armour, suddenly appeared behind him, ready to kick his head and kill him.
His speed was much faster than what Utakata had displayed earlier with his Six-Tails Chakra Cloak.
Enma, whose hands were already on the ground, pushed them down, and the next instant, a Barrier sprouted and his chakra chains burst out of his back, ready to impale the attacker.
The Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails did not follow with his kick and jumped back midair, dodging his chains that chased after him.
Enma slowly stood up after securing Utakata inside a Trihedral Prism, and then turned around to look at his enemy, who had now stopped a couple of hundred metres away from him with steam coming out of his armour.
Few seconds later, he was surrounded in the back by the six Iwa Shinobi, one of whom was a girl with black hair and dark eyes, around his age.
She was the only one who caught his interest and it was because of the nature of her chakra and the massive reserves for someone her age.
"I will only say it once. Leave now, go back to the Land of Earth or I will kill, at least, one of you here today," He coldly said, and despite themselves, the Iwa Shinobi could not help but become very nervous. "Gari made the mistake of not listening to my warning, and he lost his heart for it. Of course, with it, he lost his life too." He half-lied, but it was a lie that they could never confirm.
Then again, he had indeed killed Gari. It was just that he never gave the man a warning.
"Why have you captured the Jinchuriki of the Rokubi?" One of the Jonins glanced at Utakata, who was sleeping, and seeing him breathing, it was clear that he was not dead.
"It's not Iwa's concern what I want to do with him, but I will still humour you. He ran away from Kiri, and at the Fifth Mizukage's request, I have been ordered to capture him and return him to Kiri. Alive."
The girl by the side of the Jonin seemed surprised at his words.
"Was there a young girl with him?" She nervously asked.
"The golden-haired one?" He smiled.
"Yes."
"Dead."
She fearfully gulped at his words.
Perhaps, all of them would have scoffed at his words had they not watched his battle with Rokubi.
He was dangerous. Very dangerous.
"Cut it! Don't play strong in front of us. We saw your fight and know that you are tired."
The girl flinched when she heard one of the the Jonins on their Team shout, and the next instant, her vision blurred.
"Oh? So what do you intend to do?" She heard the son of Red Storm ask.
"What do you think..." the man smirked but then blood poured out of his mouth.
They all felt a little dizzy before they saw a second Enma with his hand, covered in Lightning Release, which made a sound of a thousand chirping birds, piercing through the Jonin's heart.
"I gave you a chance." He sighed, and the Clone with Chidori dispelled itself.
"One down."
As soon as the two words fell from his mouth, Han charged at him, and the rest of the Iwa Shinobi retreated.
"So, you wish to die next." He smiled at the Jinchuriki of the Gobi. "Very well, I shall free you of this life."
Enma activated his Red Lightning Chakra Cloak again and blocked the kick, however, the power behind Han's attack still rattled him and he was thrown to the side.
Skidding over the sand, he maneuvered his body into balance again and charged at his enemy, whose eyes widened at his speed.
Before the Jinchuriki could react, he received a punch across his face, and then a flurry of both punches and kicks until he was embedded deep inside a sand crater.
Enma was on top of him, his left hand now covered in a Red Chidori, and Han isnantly exuded the Red Chakra of his Tailed Beast, transforming into the Chakra Cloak version that Utakata had tranformed into.
Five powerful tails slapped Enma, sending him flying away, but he sommersaulted and stepped on the sea before rushing right back at him.
The two of them were like red blurs as they clashed against each other, and Uzumaki felt a lot of pain every time he blocked an attack.
He sighed in his heart at the physical strength of this form, and especially when Han was using that Boil Release of Kukuo to boil his Chakra, enhancing both his strength and speed.
There was no way he could win this battle in a physical fight, and so, he restorted to his Genjutsu.
"Amanoyume..."
Han and Kokuo heard him whisper before their vision blurred, and the Five Tails instinctively unleashed a cloud of its steam, which started sapping on Enma's strength.
However, it soon mysteriously calmed down, and when it regained consciousness, it found that its Jinchuriki was back in his normal state, and imprisoned with Chakra Chains.
When the Iwa Shinobi, who had retreated far away, saw the scene, they froze, and their hearts palpitated in fear as they watched Enma create a Chidori inside that cloud of shimmering steam.
"Han..." One of the men whispered when he saw the Jinchuriki's chest get pierced, and his lifeless body fall on the ground as soon as the Chakra Chains disappeared.
They wanted to rush forward, but suddenly, a girl with dark brown hair, wearing the Flak Jacket and Forehead Protector of Konoha, appeared in front of them.
There was an Uchiha Symbol on both her arms, and her Sharingan was already active.
The next instant, they all witnessed an even more terrifying scene as a green skeleton, made of chakra surrounded her, and soon, she was standing inside a hundred metres tall green chakra avatar of female warrior, clad in armour, who was holding a sword in her hand.
"Susanoo..." the girl with black hair heard her father gulp in fear, and when she saw the Uzumaki walking over as well, she felt like this was her last day in the world of living.
Her father grabbed her and ran at full speed with the rest of the Iwa Shinobi, and she only relaxed when she saw that the two Konoha Shinobi were not chasing after them.
"Relax. Since you have chosen to run, I won't kill you." They all heard the voice of the Uzumaki in their ears, and somehow, they did relax, seeing hope.
Izumi deactivated her Susanoo when the Shinobi from Iwa disappeared from her side, and by her side, Enma's clone dispelled itself.
The original him was still inside the cloud of steam, and Han was indeed on the verge of death, but not dead yet.
Enma only needed a few seconds to break the Jinchuriki seal on Han's body, and then his Chakra Chains entered him and gently wrapped them around Kokuo.
"Come."
The Tailed Beast did not resist when it heard his voice in its head, and sensed his sincerity.
As soon as Kukuo was brought out of Han's body, it found itself being pulled inside the Uzumaki's body, to a new abode, which was extremely beautiful and with a temple in the middle of a grassland.
"Sorry about killing your Jinchuriki." Enma appeared from Kukuo and apologised.
"It's okay."
He smiled when he heard a feminine voice.
"You are not sealed here. It's your home, and if you want to leave, just let me know and I will set you free. However, right now, it's better for you to stay here. There's a group out there who are hunting Tailed Beasts, and they already took out Son Goku."
The White Tailed Beast looked right into his eyes, which were covered by a blindfold, and he smiled before he took it off and showed her his Zennogan.
"I am Uzumaki Enma." He brightly said.
"Kokuo," she gave him her name and then curiously walked over to take a closer look into his eyes.
"Nice to meet you, Kokuo." He gently reached forward and stroked her jaw, and did not push himself on her when she retreated. "I will see you later." He said and disappeared from the Mindscape.
