The moment he entered the shrine, Naruto locked eyes with the girl who had apparently been speaking earlier.
She looked about Naruto's age, with short teal-blue hair and an orange hairpin clipped into the bun on the right side of her head. Her skin was somewhat dark, her eyes orange, and she wore shorts and a midriff-baring top.
"A Jinchuriki like me?"
This thought appeared in Naruto and Fū's minds almost simultaneously as they stared at each other.
Perhaps Jinchuriki were naturally able to sense one another. Even though it was their first meeting, the two of them could both tell.
At the same time, within Naruto's mental space, the Nine-Tails glanced at the Seven-Tails before closing its eyes again to rest, with no intention of greeting the other.
After all, the relationship between the Nine-Tails and the Seven-Tails was not as irreconcilable as its relationship with One-Tails Shukaku. They were relatively civil with each other.
Of course, the main reason was that they were both bound to Jinchuriki now, which made things a little awkward.
After giving the Nine-Tails a deep look, Seven-Tails Chōmei likewise did not greet it.
It was as though they did not know each other at all, neither paying the other any attention.
Seven-Tails Chōmei resembled a beetle with six wings and one tail.
Moreover, Seven-Tails Chōmei was a rather unusual Tailed Beast.
Why was that?
Perhaps because of its insect-like nature, Seven-Tails Chōmei had different forms.
The Nine Tailed Beasts could not be killed.
Even if they were killed, they would revive somewhere after a period of time.
Combined with their incomparably vast Chakra, someone had eventually discovered a way to seal Tailed Beasts inside human bodies and borrow their power.
That was how Jinchuriki came to be!
