Chapter 409 The Third Knower
Chapter 409 The Third Knower
Taichi and Nine-Tails were playing, Killer Bee was envious, and Eight-Tails was thinking on the side.
Soon, Taichi and Kyuubi decided the winner. The battle between man and fox ended with Kyuubi stepping on Taichi.
"It's not fair! Two fists can't beat four hands, and you still have nine tails!"
Taiyi lay on the ground, struggling unwillingly.
"Humph! This is my ability. If you have the ability, you can also grow nine tails!"
Kyuubi raised his head proudly and said disdainfully.
"you……"
Tai was speechless and muttered indignantly.
"Just wait. Once that thing is successfully researched, I will give you both hands."
"What did you say?"
Taiyi's muttering was so soft that Kyuubi didn't hear clearly, so he bared his teeth and whispered in Taiyi's ear.
Although the sound was very soft, it seemed a little dangerous.
"Nothing to say, I give in!"
Taiyi said loudly with a calm expression.
"Cut~"
The Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at Taichi, took off its claws that were stepping on Taichi, and loosened the tail that was wrapped around Taichi's limbs.
"Hey! Haven't you thought it through yet?"
The Nine-Tails turned around and shouted to the Eight-Tails who was in a state of contemplation.
"Are you sure... it's true?"
Yaoi still couldn't believe it, after all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable.
"Maybe it's true, maybe it's false."
Kyuubi said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter if it's fake, but what if it's real?"
The Eight-Tails was silent.
Yes, it doesn’t matter if it’s fake, at most you’re just being fooled, but what if it’s real?
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Nine-Tailed Fox is willing to give it a try. This is why Nine-Tailed Fox had to endure the excruciating pain of having its soul split and separate a little Nine-Tailed Fox into Taiyi's body.
Because this is the world left behind by the old man, Kyuubi wants to protect it for the old man.
"okay, I get it."
After a long silence, Yaoi finally spoke.
"Little devil, put your fist over here."
The Eight-Tails' giant fist stretched out in front of Taichi.
"Although I am grateful that you chose to believe me, but..."
Taichi looked at Yaoi with a little gratitude, then spread his hands and said.
"Kurama and I are just two balls of chakra now. Our real bodies have already left, so there's no point in fist bumping."
"Uh...that makes sense."
Yabi withdrew his hand in embarrassment.
"so what should I do now?"
"No hurry, just give it to me next time we meet. Besides you, I also need another person's chakra. Do you have any ideas?"
Taiyi asked tentatively.
According to the timeline, the two Yuzuki people (Yuzukimon?) are about ten years old now. Taichi is not sure whether they have become Jinchūriki, so he can only ask the Eight-Tails.
"Nekomata? She's still sealed, and it looks like the Jinchūriki hasn't been decided yet."
Yaoi stroked his chin and said after thinking for a while.
"Is that so... Then it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer."
Taiyi said a little disappointed.
"Um...what are you talking about? Why can't I, the master, know about it?"
The conversation between the man and the two beasts as if they were the only one around finally made Kirabi unable to bear it anymore, and he jumped out and spoke.
The man and two beasts glanced at Kirabi at the same time, and ignored Kirabi at the same time.
Kirabi: “???……!!!”
"I hope you can keep this a secret."
Taichi said to the Eight-Tails.
"What about this guy?"
The Eight-Tails glanced at Killer Bee who was jumping up and down nearby.
In the memories transmitted by the Nine-Tailed Fox, it seems that he will have a deep bond with this guy in the future.
"You decide, if you can promise that he won't tell the Fourth Generation Ai."
Taichi looked at Killer Bee meaningfully, then he and the Nine-Tails turned into points of light and disappeared.
After Taichi and Nine-Tails left, only Killer Bee and Eight-Tails were left staring at each other.
After a while, the Eight-Tails turned around silently and took back the chakra it had emitted.
"Ah Ba?"
Killer Bee wanted to communicate with the Eight-Tails, but his eyes blurred and he was driven out of the spiritual space by the Eight-Tails.
Outside, as the Eight-Tails retracted its chakra, Killer Bee also withdrew from its complete tailed beast state and lay quietly on the ground.
"Compare!"
The fourth generation Ai rushed to Kirabi in an instant, and after finding that Kirabi was still breathing, he shouted loudly.
"Medical class!"
"Brother! I'm fine..."
As soon as Kirabi opened his eyes, he saw the anxious look of the Fourth Generation Ai, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
When the Fourth Generation Ai saw that Kirabi had regained consciousness, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and fell backwards.
"Brother?!!"
Kirabi exclaimed.
The medical team that had just arrived immediately changed the target of their treatment. After all, compared to the full-strength Kirabi, the fourth-generation Ai who was covered in wounds and unconscious was obviously in more need of treatment.
……
On the other side, Minato and Taichi finally reunited with the main force, and Hinata Hiashi and others were not in any serious trouble either.
Except for a few seriously injured people, the rest were slightly injured, but this is the best situation.
If Shinnosuke had not brought reinforcements in time, at least half of the Konoha ninjas led by Hyuga Hiashi would have died.
"Minato, Taichi, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you covering our retreat, perhaps none of us would have been able to return."
"Yes, my Lords, thank you very much this time."
"You two adults saved our lives."
……
Hinata Hiashi and others came to Taichi and Minato and expressed their gratitude to them.
"We are all companions, there is no need to thank them like this."
Minato said with a smile.
"Alright, everyone disperse. Minato is injured and needs medical attention."
Shinnosuke came over, dispersed the crowd, patted Minato on the shoulder, his tone full of gratitude.
"Thanks to you this time."
"This is what I should do."
Minato shook his head, saying that it was his duty.
Taichi stood aside, saying nothing. It would be better to leave this kind of face-to-face matter to Minato. After all, Taichi didn't want to be Hokage.
Due to the Eight-Tails' rampage, the Cloud Ninja chose not to pursue it, and the Konoha group returned to the camp safely.
After returning to the camp, Shinnosuke gathered everyone together and held a combat meeting.
The main content of the meeting was about the attack by Kumogakure and how to retaliate.
The meeting was boring and lengthy. Taiyi, who had already experienced a fierce battle and was not interested in this, finally succumbed to Zhou Gong's call and fell asleep.
When Taichi opened his eyes again, Taichi and Shinnosuke were the only ones left in the conference room.
Seeing Taichi wake up, Shinnosuke smiled and handed him a cup of hot tea.
"wake up?"
"Ah."
Taichi drowsily responded, drinking the hot tea Shinnosuke handed him.
"What's the matter, teacher?"
"Nothing, I just saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. Now that you're awake, go back to your tent and have a good rest."
Shinnosuke rubbed Taichi's head.
"The next action will be in three days."
