271Persuade the five tailed beastsAI Model: gemini-3.0-flashChapter 271: Persuading the Five Tailed Beasts
Ginkaku was startled.
He hurriedly stepped forward and dug Kinkaku out.
In the entire Ninja World, the Hidden Cloud Villagehas the most muscular men, which also represents their strength.
He had rarely seen a situation where Kinkaku was knocked down by a single punch.
Especially since he was wearing the Kinkōyomi.
Besides extracting the Word Soul, it also served a protective and defensive role.
Although he looked miserable, fortunately, the goal had been achieved.
Kinkaku struggled to his feet, and along with Ginkaku, four eyes stared intently at Naruto.
After the Kinkōyomi takes effect, the Ninja it touches will spit out a ball of blue gas, which is the Word Soul.
Then, one just needs to use the Shichiseiken to sever it.
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
A sensation of vomiting welled up in his heart.
But he simply couldn't spit it out.
Strange.
Could it be that after the 100% defense bonus, his body had reached a Mukou-like state?
After a few seconds, there was still no vomiting phenomenon.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku subconsciously looked at each other.
Both faces were filled with confusion.
What's going on?
They had never encountered this situation before.
"Could it be that it lost its effect after not being used for too long?"
Ginkaku's eyes darted around as he asked.
"No way, right?"
Kinkaku was a bit dazed, but he wasn't certain either.
The two of them had been dead for nearly several decades and had just been dug up.
They weren't very clear about the condition of these four ninja tools.
Yakushi Kabuto had been the one to give the tools to them.
Perhaps someone had tampered with them along the way.
"Try again."
Kinkaku snapped back to his senses and said.
In any case, in their Edo Tensei state, they possessed immortal bodies.
Ginkaku nodded and turned his gaze toward Naruto.
"How about I help you guys test it out?"
Naruto met their gaze and said with a smile, "Maybe it'll work if you switch to someone else."
"This little trick of yours is meaningless to us."
Kinkaku gave a cold smile.
Wanting us two brothers to kill each other?
He swung the Bashōsen in his hand.
A massive amount of Chakra gushed out.
It transformed into thousands of sharp blades within the passage.
Naruto really wanted to say that wasn't what he meant.
He was actually quite worried that this thing might be broken.
After all, these four treasures were already his future possessions.
He vanished directly in the face of the violent winds.
Kinkaku's body felt a sudden chill for no reason.
To his left, Naruto appeared like a ghost, and the Enma in his hand cut off his left arm in one fluid motion.
No blood flowed out.
Kinkaku turned his head blankly, failing to react to the sequence of attacks.
"Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"Correct."
Naruto took a few steps back.
The previous violent winds had reshaped the passage again, leaving it in a wretched state.
But he had no time to worry about Mother Earth's injuries.
He stripped off the Kinkōyomi, wrapped it around his own left arm, and asked, "So, which of you two will be the lucky one?"
"Bastard!"
Kinkaku was furious.
The severed left arm was regenerating under the effect of Edo Tensei.
Naruto's eyes narrowed, and his body vanished once more.
Kinkaku subconsciously raised his hand.
But it was already too late.
His face was struck directly, and he flew backward like a cannonball.
"Damn it!"
Ginkaku stepped forward, holding the Shichiseikenand slashing down toward Naruto's head.
Although the Shichiseiken couldn't place a curse because the Kinkōyomi had failed, as one of the Six Paths ninja tools, it was itself comparable to a divine weapon.
Naruto raised his hand, and Enma collided with the Shichiseiken.
His left punch passed under the blade, striking Ginkaku's abdomen like lightning.
Immediately after, he delivered a flying kick.
Ginkaku also retreated rapidly.
Naruto transformed into a silver light, arriving directly in front of him.
Enma twisted and fell.
Severing Ginkaku's right wrist.
He caught the Shichiseiken and stopped his advance.
"You!"
Ginkaku roared out, but it was already futile.
The speed of the Flying Thunder God Techniquewas simply too fast.
Back then, they were able to defeat Senju Tobirama mainly because the Second Hokage had intentionally stayed behind to cover the retreat.
Otherwise, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would have escaped long ago; how could he have been heavily wounded?
And in their current Edo Tensei state, Kinkaku and Ginkaku's strength was no longer at its peak, being significantly diminished.
Therefore, facing Naruto, they were frustrated at every turn.
After Ginkaku steadied himself, he let out a retch, and a blue mass was spat from his mouth.
Seeing this, Naruto stepped forward with the Shichiseiken.
At that same moment, an astounding Chakraexploded.
The air currents blew his hair backward.
Naruto subconsciously looked at Kinkaku.
At this point, Kinkaku no longer looked like his original self; he was entirely enveloped in a dark-red Chakra cloak, exuding a fierce aura.
"Tsk, what a familiar scene."
Naruto thought of an advertising slogan.
Someone is imitating my face.
Kinkaku charged over like a tiger descending a mountain.
The ground along the way shattered one after another.
Astounding Chakra vibrated in the air.
Six-Tails made him almost no different from an ordinary Jinchuriki.
"Beat him to death for me!"
If one were to ask who among those present was the angriest, it was naturally Kurama.
Two knock-offs actually dared to be arrogant in front of the original; they were simply looking for death!
Naruto put away Enma and the two Six Paths ninja tools.
He clenched his fists.
His body suddenly lunged forward.
Stepping with his left foot, he used the momentum to leap into the air and delivered a flying kick toward Kinkaku.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Kinkaku grinned hideously.
Because there were no Tailed Beasts residing within them, their power was under their own control, so they still maintained their own consciousness while in Tailed Beast form.
At that same moment, endless Chakra gushed out.
From Naruto's plain-looking right leg.
An incredibly thick Tailed Beast cloak immediately enveloped him.
Kinkaku was sent flying backward again.
This was already the third or fourth time.
Ginkaku, who was watching the battle, had a dull look on his face.
A familiar aura.
Power from the same source.
Is this the freaking Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?!
Kinkaku detached himself from the wall, stood up shakily, and looked at Naruto, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
What on earth is that!
The massive body caused the high tower to collapse.
Yakushi Kabuto, watching from a distance, felt a chill and murmured, "This can't be blamed on me, right?"
He had already moved the Jinchuriki.
Even if Nagato wanted to blame someone, the worst he could do was make him repair Amegakure.
Naruto actually rarely used the Tailed Beast form.
Mainly because he had increased Kurama's favorability too quickly.
He had fast-forwarded directly to the even more powerful Kurama Mode.
In the original work, he only reached this step in the late stages, so he frequently used Tailed Beastforms; having too many tails would even lead to losing control.
Due to the existence of the seal, Naruto only used seven tails.
But even one extra tail made a world of difference.
It was especially obvious from their sizes.
Kinkaku's Tailed Beast form was a whole size smaller.
Standing together, the two of them were like the difference between a cat and a mouse.
Naruto stepped down directly.
The surrounding buildings were instantly shaken into collapse.
Fortunately, because this was the Akatsuki Organization's headquarters, the ordinary villagers were quite far away.
But even so, that earthquake-like stomp woke everyone up.
Kinkaku ran just in time, dodging that fatal stomp.
Seeing this, Ginkaku also activated his Tailed Beastform.
One large and two small Nine-Tails immediately began to fight.
"This is really going to be the death of me."
Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but complain as he watched the three Nine-Tails.
Although he had brought Kinkaku and Ginkaku back with Edo Tensei because of their great strength, he hadn't expected Uzumaki Naruto to show up.
Amegakure is likely hard to save.
Back then, a single Nine-Tails could destroy more than half of Konoha.
Now there were two more added.
"I think you might be in trouble."
A White Zetsu clone emerged beside Yakushi Kabuto.
"Can this be blamed on me?"
Yakushi Kabuto wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "When can the Akatsuki Organization members get back? Kinkaku and Ginkaku won't be able to stop this guy."
"I've already sent the message."
White Zetsu sighed and said, "But the Hidden Cloud Village is too far; even if Tobi wanted to rush back, it wouldn't be that fast."
And there was one more thing he didn't say.
Even if he rushed back, it would be useless.
Even if Tobi exposed all his strength, he wouldn't be able to win.
Besides, Naruto also has the Flying Thunder God Technique.
And because Nagato had a bet with Naruto, he believed Naruto wouldn't attack the Akatsuki Organization.
Plus, with Yakushi Kabuto there to perform Edo Tensei, as long as Amegakure wasn't attacked by the combined forces of the Five Great Villages, there shouldn't be any problem.
Under such considerations, he hadn't kept the Akatsuki Organization members behind.
But he didn't expect Naruto to actually come knocking on the door.
"Bastard!"
Kinkaku glared at Naruto, his expression extremely distorted.
After being sent flying multiple times, he had fallen into an even more embarrassing predicament.
A beast-like brawl.
Once your size is small and your strength is weak, you'll end up like him, being pinned underfoot.
"Can't you change your vocabulary?"
Naruto used his foot to press down on Kinkaku while his right hand locked Ginkaku's throat.
This was also the reason why Ginkaku wasn't as full of vigor as his older brother.
After all, he couldn't speak.
But his eyes were very intense, showing that he was in very good spirits.
It had to be said that the Edo Tensei technique was truly a bug.
Compared to its cost, the effect was simply heaven-defying.
If it were the normal Kinkaku and Ginkaku, they would have died who knows how many times already.
But Naruto didn't want to play any longer.
The appearance of Yakushi Kabuto and White Zetsu meant that Nagato had received the news.
To deal with Edo Tensei, besides having the caster release it, the best way was Sealing Jutsu.
Naruto did have some experience with Sealing Jutsu.
However, he had another method.
Thinking of this, he grabbed Kinkaku as well.
One small Nine-Tails in each hand.
Naruto immediately performed the Flying Thunder God Technique, sending the two of them to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Yakushi Kabuto was stunned; before he could react to the shock of Kinkaku and Ginkaku's sudden disappearance, he saw the blond-haired boy appear in front of him.
He immediately backed away in fright.
But Naruto didn't care about him; the Adamantine Sealing Chains immediately shot out, locking the White Zetsu clone beside him.
Then, all sorts of Sealing Jutsus were thrown out as if they cost nothing.
He was, after all, just a clone.
In an instant, he was wrapped up like a dumpling, unable to move.
Naruto couldn't help but smile.
It was rare to catch a White Zetsu clone; he'd take it back to study.
He turned his gaze toward Yakushi Kabuto.
Yakushi Kabuto looked left and right, then gave up on trying to break out.
"I can tell you where the Jinchuriki are, but spare my life. I'm just following orders; I really didn't intend to target you!"
Heaven knows his heart was sincere.
If he had known Uzumaki Naruto was coming.
He would have run away without a word.
"Lead the way."
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't intended to kill Yakushi Kabuto in the first place.
This guy was still somewhat useful to keep around.
"Alright."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded obediently.
As a spy, what he was best at was smooth-talking and knowing when to yield, commonly known as being a traitor.
Under his guidance, Naruto soon arrived at another base.
Besides Gaara, Fu, Chōjūrō, and himself, the rest of the Jinchuriki were all here.
Including Killer Bee.
In total, there were the Two-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Six-Tails, and Eight-Tails.
"Kurama, it's time to show your true skills."
Naruto rubbed his chin and said, "Have them give me a portion of their Chakra."
"..."
Kurama was silent for a second.
It felt like Naruto might have some misunderstanding about it.
If you want me to use physical persuasion, that's no problem, but using Talk-no-Jutsu... that's a bit troublesome.
"Do your own work yourself."
Kurama said with a look of earnest advice, "Don't always rely on this old man."
"..."
Well, look at you, you big-eyed fellow, have you also learned to use your brain?
Naruto was silent for a moment; his Talk-no-Jutsuwas equally terrible.
How about waking them up and giving them a beating?
It's just that if he did that, he might not be able to obtain the recognition of all the Tailed Beasts like in the original work.
It's really a hassle.
"Why do I need to obtain their recognition?"
Naruto suddenly had an epiphany.
With his current personality, it would be hard to achieve that.
He didn't have much patience to begin with.
Since that was the case, he could only force it; although a forced melon isn't sweet, it quenches thirst.
I have the system, what am I afraid of?
Besides, whether Obito or Uchiha Madara can become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is still a question mark.
After thinking it through, Naruto had Kurama drag all five Tailed Beasts into the Tailed Beast channel.
"Ahem, hello everyone, I am Kurama's Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Naruto. I've come here because I want to make a deal with you all."
After a few seconds of silence, the Eight-Tails, Gyūki, was the first to speak.
"What deal?"
Although it had dealt with Naruto before, it didn't know his true identity.
However, it was the last one to be captured and deeply understood the strength of the Akatsuki Organization.
Since Naruto could break through to this place, it proved his strength.
And given Kurama's personality, the fact that it would help him spoke even more to his extraordinary nature.
The other Tailed Beasts were also quite unfamiliar with Naruto.
The Four-Tails, Son Goku, had seen him, but like the Eight-Tails, it had only seen his disguise.
"Are you here to save us?"
The Two-Tails, Matatabi, was a blue cat; she upheld elegance, spoke quite politely, and her voice was quite pleasant.
"In a way, yes, but also no."
Naruto explained, "I can save you, but not right now."
"Then you're here to amuse yourself at our expense?"
The Four-Tails' tone was somewhat displeased.
"No, I'm here to make a deal. You give me a portion of your Chakra, and in exchange, I'll save you and get you out of here in a while."
As soon as Naruto's words fell, they met with opposition.
Especially from those with bad tempers like the Eight-Tails and Four-Tails.
"If any of you want to restart your lives, I can help you."
Naruto sighed and said, "Please understand the situation, everyone. Right now, I am the one in control. What right do you have to negotiate terms with me?"
"Bastard!"
"Brat!"
"You dare!"
"You must be joking!"
The roaring voices were each louder than the last.
"Well done, you have my style."
The one who abruptly chimed in was Kurama.
It had thought Naruto was going to have a polite conversation, but it didn't expect him to be so simple and crude.
But it liked it.
As expected of my Jinchuriki, he has truly inherited my legacy.
"So there's nothing to talk about?"
Naruto's gaze turned cold. He unhesitatingly activated Sage Mode and Kurama Mode, took out Enma, and shouted, "This is a robbery! Men to the left, women to the right, hand over all the Chakraon your bodies!"
Instantly, countless dangerous auras filled the surroundings.
The five Tailed Beasts were suddenly speechless.
Although their Jinchuriki were in a comatose state, they were not, and they could still perceive the outside world.
That surging Chakra, which was more than all of theirs combined, really... made them complain about the Six Paths Sage once again.
He was simply too partial.
