After leaving Akatsuki Village, Uchiha Makoto immediately rushed towards the designated meeting point.
After some travel...
He saw Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, who had been waiting there for a long time.
And... Senju Tobirama, who had followed along because he was worried.
He wasn't worried that both Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama couldn't defeat the Two-Tails.
He was worried about Uchiha Makoto... Although the Two-Tails was dangerous, it had never harmed him in the slightest.
But that guy, Uchiha Makoto, was always trying to dig a pit for him, for Konoha.
So Uchiha Makoto was much more dangerous than the Two-Tails—Big brother is a fool again. Letting him stay alone with two dangerous Uchiha is too dangerous!
"Lord Hashirama, Lord Madara, I apologize for being late."
"It's fine. It's rare to take a long trip... Actually, we only arrived a day earlier than you."
"Madara, why do you always have such a straight face? You don't even greet Makoto when you see him."
"Tobirama, you too... you don't greet him either."
"...That's just Lord Madara's personality... it's fine..."
Senju Hashirama greeted Uchiha Makoto enthusiastically.
Uchiha Madara just nodded at him in acknowledgment.
Senju Tobirama still wore a grim face, as if Uchiha Makoto owed him a lot of money, even though... Uchiha Makoto was the creditor.
However, Uchiha Makoto didn't take these small matters to heart.
Compared to these insignificant pleasantries... Uchiha Madara seemed to give off an even colder feeling.
—It seems he didn't take my words to heart at all. That stubborn mule, just wait to be deceived by Black Zetsu for a lifetime!
After a round of pleasantries.
Everyone began to discuss the main business: how to capture the Two-Tails safely and smoothly, and then seal it up to take back.
This matter was of course very simple.
It only required three steps—find the Two-Tails, capture the Two-Tails, and seal the Two-Tails.
Simple, plain, and unadorned.
Of course, Uchiha Makoto didn't say much. He was just a subordinate in this operation to capture the Two-Tails. The real main force was Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
The two of them presented the battle plan they had been preparing for a long time.
To be honest, the battle plan given by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama was very rough.
Any action plan written by a random Chunin from Akatsuki Village would be more detailed and specific than theirs.
But these two masters had always been the type to use brute force, with empty heads, preferring to use Susanoo/Wood Golem instead of thinking. The fact that they even had an action plan this time meant they were taking the Two-Tails extremely seriously.
So the battle plan could be simply summarized as—upon seeing the Two-Tails, attack with full force immediately, giving it no chance to react.
"But... a sneak attack, isn't that a bit bad?"
"What's bad about it? The Two-Tails' power is too great. We must be cautious."
"....."
Senju Hashirama had a cautious look on his face.
Uchiha Madara nodded in agreement.
Uchiha Makoto was speechless. In their respective family records, the power of the Tailed Beasts was described as too terrifying. Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had never fought a Tailed Beast before, so they probably had infinitely overestimated its combat power in their minds—caution is a virtue!
"In that case, let's set off... The Two-Tails' tracks are..."
After discussing the battle plan, everyone immediately headed towards the area where the Two-Tails was located.
After a long journey, they arrived at a primeval forest on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.
As far as the eye could see was an endless sea of trees.
It could be said to be rarely visited by humans.
And because the natural energy in the ninja world was extremely abundant, under the influence of this natural energy, the surrounding area was filled with terrifying giant trees that were dozens or even hundreds of meters high.
It had to be said, this was indeed a very suitable place for the Two-Tails to live—but... for the Two-Tails to be found in this forest, it was really bad luck for it.
Uchiha Makoto sighed, then, while quickly traversing the forest, he hummed a little tune.
"Hakimi has no north or south road to hide..."
"Ashi hayaku naru... mambo!"
"Uchiha Makoto, what are you humming about... what honey... what a mess... I've been listening to it all the way."
"I'm singing a praise song for the cat. The Uchiha are cat people... for its impending arrival... a lament."
"How inexplicable!"
Senju Tobirama had long known that Uchiha Makoto sometimes said strange things that were difficult for normal people to understand.
But... to be rambling on about honey all the way, that was really strange!
Uchiha Makoto blinked, chuckled, and then continued humming Hakimi's little tune.
But fortunately, it wasn't long before... the target appeared.
In the depths of this primeval forest, a clearing inexplicably appeared. It was obvious that the forest in this area had been destroyed, leaving only knee-high green grass.
The weather was nice today.
It was unknown whether it was due to the geographical location or a coincidence.
Perhaps this was a feng shui treasure land specially chosen by the Two-Tails.
Although it was already afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest.
But there was a wind here.
A strong wind!
And the wind was very cool.
In this gradually sultry time, a moment of cool wind always puts people in a good mood.
It was the same for humans.
And for Tailed Beasts.
The Two-Tails, as usual, was lying on this lush green grass, comfortably exposing its little belly to the slightly scorching sunlight—the afternoon sun was indeed too strong for humans, but for a cat, this temperature was just right.
Its huge body lay comfortably on the grass, and from time to time, a comfortable purring sound could be heard.
And the four people in the distance had already locked onto the Two-Tails.
"This chakra... and at such a distance, as expected of a Tailed Beast."
"What do you say, should we just go up now? The Two-Tails seems to be enjoying a good life."
"I think we can. It's a good opportunity to catch the Two-Tails off guard."
The last person to speak was Senju Hashirama.
Uchiha Makoto just felt that this sunny boy with thick eyebrows, Senju Hashirama, was really bad sometimes.
But... he liked it.
The few of them quickly made a decision.
According to the battle plan, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama would be the main attackers, while Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama would act as support, adapting to the situation (and being careful to avoid being killed by the aftershock).
"Sage Mode—activate!"
"Wood Release, Wood Golem Jutsu."
"Susanoo!!"
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama stood side by side, and an unimaginably huge amount of chakra instantly erupted from their bodies.
What followed was a drastic change in the environment.
The earth began to crack, and countless trees began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Senju Tobirama was very experienced and immediately started running back. Uchiha Makoto was a little slower to react.
"Tobirama, you naturally evil old demon of the Senju, you didn't even make a sound when you ran!"
"Slow down."
The two of them began to run back wildly. And behind them, in an instant, a hundred-meter-tall wood golem stood in this clearing.
And Uchiha Madara's chakra had already connected with Senju Hashirama's.
His azure Susanoo, with the appearance of the wood golem, formed a suit of armor in the blink of an eye, closely fitting the wood golem's body.
—Susanoo-clad Great Buddha!
"Madara, get ready!"
"I know."
The two stood in the crystal-like container on the head of the wood golem. At this moment, their minds were one.
The wood golem drew a giant sword dozens of meters long from its waist and charged towards the Two-Tails, which was sunbathing with its belly up.
In order not to alert the enemy, the two sides were actually several miles apart.
But even so, the Two-Tails kitty at this moment also sensed that something was wrong.
"A very dangerous aura is rapidly approaching me."
"No, there's danger!"
"Ha~ Spine Dragon Mode, activate!"
The Two-Tails kitty's fur stood on end. It looked in one direction, and in the next second, it saw a scene it would never forget in its life. A giant monster, half a head taller than it, was charging at it with a sword—what the hell is that?
Almost subconsciously.
The Two-Tails kitty wanted to run.
That exaggerated size, the chakra fluctuation that was so absurd it made even a Tailed Beast tremble, and that both unfamiliar and familiar Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu.
But... it couldn't run.
Several miles away, in the face of the wood golem's huge size, was actually just a few steps away.
"It's too late, Tailed Beast Bomb!"
The Two-Tails kitty made a decisive decision, jumped a certain distance, opened its mouth, and began to gather chakra.
But in the next second...
This terrifying monster had already rushed in front of the Two-Tails kitty.
"Madara..."
"I know."
The wood golem swung its giant sword dozens of meters long at the kitty. The kitty shivered all over, immediately interrupted the Tailed Beast Bomb, and then shrunk half its body to dodge the blow.
"No, I have to run."
"It's impossible to win."
In a flash.
The Two-Tails was still in shock, its courage more than halved by this single blow.
Now it just wanted to run.
There are bad people in the ninja world!
Senju Hashirama: "Two-Tails, your power is too great. I'm sorry, but I cannot let you act as you please."
Two-Tails kitty: "???"
Before the Two-Tails kitty could react, a huge hand had already grabbed its body, and then a huge force crushed it, making it difficult for the Two-Tails to breathe.
A few seconds later.
The kitty had already started to roll its eyes.
"Hashirama, why does the Two-Tails feel so weak?"
"Hiss... actually, I have that feeling too. It feels like it takes no effort at all to suppress it."
"But the family records clearly state that the Tailed Beasts are very powerful."
"Could it be that the Tailed Beasts still have an ultimate move? We can't let our guard down when dealing with a Tailed Beast for the first time. Let's continue."
"Hmm... alright. It's the first time the two of us have used this move. We haven't even used a few of the moves we prepared. The Tailed Beasts have strong life force... they can't be killed... let's test our moves."
What followed was a flurry of punches and kicks... cat abuse.
"Oh my... so cruel... why are they being so rough."
"The Two-Tails can't take this kind of beating. Where's the Nine-Tails? Where's the Nine-Tails... let the Nine-Tails come... let the Nine-Tails come!"
"So miserable, so miserable... don't really kill it."
"Isn't a Tailed Beast's life also a life?"
Uchiha Makoto stood not far away, watching the cruel methods of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, and couldn't help but sigh.
A move meant to fight the Sage of Six Paths was used on the Two-Tails, sending the kitty flying into the sky.
"The Tailed Beasts' strength is not as terrifying as described in the records... I can't see where it's strong... it's being beaten one-sidedly..."
"But the chakra that the Tailed Beast gathered at the very beginning, if it had been successfully released, its power should have been great."
"So far, I can't see if the Tailed Beasts have any other powerful moves..."
Compared to Uchiha Makoto who was just watching the show.
Senju Tobirama was seriously analyzing the intelligence on the Tailed Beasts.
But the Two-Tails kitty was being beaten one-sidedly by two bad guys and had no ability to resist, so this ninjutsu master, Senju Tobirama, couldn't see any useful intelligence.
"Is it possible that the Two-Tails' strength is indeed very strong, but Lord Madara and Lord Hashirama's strength has reached a point where they can crush the Tailed Beasts, and this time they have combined their powers... If the Sage of Six Paths came, he might have to lie down too."
"Forget it, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you here. I have to go and stop them. Lord Madara and Lord Hashirama really don't hold back when they fight. Don't let them really kill the Two-Tails kitty."
Uchiha Makoto said, and then immediately got up and ran towards Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
"We've only tested less than a third of our moves. It's not that many."
"The Two-Tails is already done for."
"Too weak. A Tailed Beast of this level, I can handle it by myself."
The wood golem held the Two-Tails' two tails with one hand and poked its face with the other—no reaction at all.
Sad... the Two-Tails kitty had been beaten unconscious.
Senju Hashirama had a strange expression on his face. The Two-Tails' strength was too different from what was recorded in the family records.
Uchiha Madara, on the other hand, looked displeased.
He and Hashirama had prepared for so long. They had thought this would be a battle that would make their blood boil and dance, but in the end... it felt like fighting a house cat.
The moves just now... both of them were actually holding back.
They didn't even dare to use their full strength!
"Hey, hey, hey, Lord Hashirama, Lord Madara, that's enough. I think the Two-Tails is about to die. Stop hitting it."
"Hurry up and seal it."
Uchiha Makoto's voice came from the ground.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had no desire to fight anymore.
If they had known the Two-Tails was so weak... they wouldn't have tested those newly invented moves on it.
So Senju Hashirama controlled the wood golem. A special seal appeared on one of its palms and was placed on the forehead of the unconscious Two-Tails kitty.
Then the Two-Tails kitty's body began to shrink rapidly until it was the size of a house cat, and then it was sealed by Senju Hashirama in a small tea jar—the sealing techniques of the ninja world are truly magical, to be able to seal a Tailed Beast of that size in a small jar.
The One-Tail had also enjoyed a similar treatment in Boruto. It could even stick its hands and feet out and hop around on the ground.
But... now the Two-Tails... was completely unconscious.
Uchiha Makoto took the small tea jar from Senju Hashirama's hand, lifted the lid, and saw the Two-Tails kitty curled up inside.
"Poor thing... poor thing~"
"A perfectly good Two-Tails kitty was beaten into this state. It might even be traumatized."
