"Hello, I'm your guide, a Kumogakure ninja—Yugito Nii!"
The young woman with a long beige braid tied behind her head wore a cool smile and spoke gently, yet Araki froze for a moment.
Of course, it wasn't because she was pretty. After all, it was set in stone that even the most vicious beauties weren't Araki's type.
It was because of her name—Yugito Nii!
There were Nine Tailed Beasts in the world of Naruto. Legend said they were vicious by nature, immortal and indestructible, and possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.
Precisely because they were so dangerous, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara had joined forces to capture them, using them as nuclear weapons to balance the strength of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. (Waiting for some big shot to provide illustrations (ω))
The outer casing of these nuclear weapons was called a sacrificial vessel, more commonly known as—a Jinchuriki.
By housing the power of a Tailed Beast within a human body, they possessed near-infinite chakra, rapid regeneration, a Tailed Beast Cloak for protection, and many other abilities. As long as they grew up normally, they could become combatants comparable to the Kage of each village, perhaps even more useful on the battlefield.
When necessary, they could even use "Death Rattle" to release the Tailed Beast inside them for a desperate final battle, perishing together with their enemy.
