If You Want to Attack, You'd Better Kill Me in One Blow

Ah~

As Hagoromo walked out of the Hokage Building, he unconsciously stretched.

The entire Jonin meeting was essentially just Hiruzen Sarutobi announcing various matters.

Hagoromo shook her head; she was in for a busy day.

"Sansan."

Hagoromo spoke to the side, and a figure immediately darted out from the nearby bushes.

"They're here, they're here!"

Sansan, with a skewer of grilled fish dangling from his mouth, mumbled in response.

"You rascal, all you do when you get back is eat. Come with me."

Hagoromo grabbed Sansan by the neck and headed straight for the training ground.

"Teacher!"

Naruto and the others greeted Hagoromo immediately upon seeing him.

"Okay, you guys start training first. The teacher will come over later." Hagoromo nodded and said gently to them.

Then they headed towards the waterfall, and upon arriving at their destination, they tossed Sansan down and simply watched him quietly.

Meow~ Why are you looking at me like that?

Sansan stared at Hagoromo for a while, then finally couldn't help but scratch her neck.

"Tell me, have you already stolen the Seven-Tails 'Chakra?"

Hagoromo glanced at Sansan, who was still pretending to be confused, and said irritably.

Even if he didn't receive any news while in the cave, he didn't believe that with Sansan's current strength, he would just watch without taking action against the person who was preparing to capture the Seven-Tails.

He, Sansan, is a great demon who is infinitely close to the Divine Realm, and he is not some kind of benevolent monster.

"You guessed right!" Sansan exclaimed with admiration.

"Get out of here! Where did you put it?"

Hagoromo rolled her eyes. This greedy cat didn't need to guess; she would definitely do something quietly if there was something to gain.

"Uh, the Sacred Land ~" Sansan looked dejected. He hadn't said much since he got back because he was afraid Hagoromo would find out.

After all, she couldn't possibly deceive him, but she could simply remain silent.

Unexpectedly, this kid is still so perceptive.

"Let's go over there first." Hagoromo pinched Sansan's neck again and then activated the spell.

Thud--

"Roar--!"

Hagoromo, who had just arrived, was drawn by a roar.

He looked up and was immediately stunned. What the hell was that?

A gigantic cocoon stood directly within Sansan's Sacred Land, and this cocoon was actually composed of a massive amount of densely packed Chakra.

"This is some Chakra I stole. Since I couldn't absorb it immediately, I transferred it directly into the Sacred Land."

"I never expected it to turn out like this."

Sansan helplessly spread his front paws. That was why he didn't come back and absorb the Hagoromo immediately, but instead waited for Yu Yi.

You call this a little bit?

Hagoromo covered her forehead, pointing helplessly at the Chakra in front of her that was almost the size of Tailed Beast, and asked.

"Hehe~ I was in a bit of a rush at the time, so..." Sansan said these words, but there was no trace of embarrassment on her face.

Hagoromo shook her head helplessly and slowly stepped forward.

As if sensing something, the Chakra cocoon flickered with Chakra flames, seemingly warning people not to approach.

Snap--

Hagoromo slapped the Chakra with his palm, then closed his eyes.

Who are you! Where am I?!

Upon arriving at the interior using Yin Release, Hagoromo heard this sound.

Amidst the countless turbulent Chakra currents before them, a single green light stood out, and the voice emanated from within it.

"Seven-Tails Chōmei?"

Hagoromo initially thought it was mostly a chaotic consciousness generated from the Tailed Beast Chakra in a daze, but it turns out to be a complete Seven-Tails consciousness?

How much force did they use to suck up that dead cat?

"Who are you?"

After Seven-Tails finally spoke up when confronted with someone who addressed her by her full name upon first meeting.

Before you ask me anything, why don't you tell me what you're protecting there?

As Hagoromo spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the green light.

Although he couldn't see through it himself, the Yin Release gave him the feeling that there was a soul inside.

There was no response from Hagoromo; instead, there were faint flashes of light amidst the turbulent Chakra currents around her.

"If you're going to make a move, you'd better be able to kill me with one blow."

Hagoromo said without turning her head, while outside.

Several chains shot out from the back of the standing figure in the Hagoromo outfit, enveloping the giant Chakra cocoon.

"Etc!"

Realizing that the situation was beyond her expectations, Seven-Tails quickly spoke up.

Ignoring her, Hagoromo increased her speed and instantly locked the Chakra cocoon.

After doing all this, the inner Hagoromo turned around and looked behind her, where a small version of the Seven-Tails Chōmei was firmly fixed in place and did not move.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Hagoromo looked at the Seven-Tails with great interest; these Tailed Beasts really had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

"That's a question I should be asking you, human!"

Upon hearing this, the Seven-Tails could no longer remain calm and roared in awe, channeling the unique Chakra of Tailed Beast.

Hagoromo remained unmoved amidst the seemingly vast fluctuations of Chakra, simply gazing calmly at the Seven-Tails before him.

He then said calmly, "That should be the soul of your previous Jinchūriki, right?"

The Seven-Tails shares the same name and is considered one of the more calm and cunning Tailed Beasts.

Hearing this, Seven-Tails panicked and quickly said, "Don't touch her! She's just a child!"

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo gave a wry smile.

It is said that among the Nine Tailed Beasts, only the One-Tail and Nine-Tails have a very violent personality.

One of them made the Jinchūriki unable to sleep and caused him to become mentally unstable.

The other one, huh? It seems like Nine-Tails only occasionally uses his Chakra to interfere with Naruto.

The other Tailed Beasts, regardless of what others say, at least managed to get along well with their Jinchūriki later on, and even cooperate with each other.

"Tell me about it." Hagoromo simply shrugged, indicating that if she didn't want to stay put, she should at least be given some information.

Seven-Tails remained silent, realizing that no matter what she did, it seemed she couldn't harm the young man before her.

After a long while, Seven-Tails began to talk to Hagoromo.

Inside the Chakra cocoon, the human One-Tail beast began to communicate.

Meanwhile, Sansan paced back and forth on the periphery. He had been startled by Hagoromo's actions, thinking she was going to absorb the Chakra cocoon directly.

However, once the chains covered the Chakra cocoon, that terrifying fluctuation never reappeared.

Meow, this cat is so anxious!

Time passed slowly, just as Sansan was about to lose control and use her magic to investigate.

Hagoromo's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

"Hagoromo, what's going on?" Sansan quickly jumped over to Hagoromo and asked.
