A Jinchūriki Came Looking for Him

In the afternoon.

The Tsuchikage didn't send anyone to find Yang Xing. Perhaps things are more difficult than Yang Xing imagined. The Tsuchikage is indeed too cautious; he hasn't even thought things through yet.

Yang Xing was also considering whether he should cause some kind of disturbance in the Land of Earth.

Anyway, it's quite simple to do it secretly using Mangekyō.

Just as Yang Xing was planning how to subtly teach the Land of Earth a lesson, Guren arrived and interrupted his thoughts with a single sentence.

"Master, someone outside is looking for you."

"Has that old man Tsuchikage, thought it through?" Yang Xing's eyes lit up, and he followed Guren out. Sure enough, someone had come looking for him outside the door.

There was only one person, a fully armed man whose face was covered by a robe. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem like someone the old Tsuchikage would send.

"Who are you?"

"Let me in, and I'll tell you why I'm here," the man said abruptly, taking a step forward, but was stopped by someone else.

"Hey, don't come any closer. The master hasn't agreed yet. And who exactly are you?" Guren's expression was unfriendly. She used a Crystal Release Crystallization to appear in front of the man and block his path, causing him to pause.

Looking up finally revealed his face.

This made Yang Xing frown. "The Five-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Indeed, the dignified Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Rihan, was following the Tsuchikage.

"Can I come in now? I need to talk to you."

"Master, is he Jinchūriki? Should we send him away?"

"No need, let him in. Guren, come here too." Yang Xing gripped Guren's hand tightly as he led Fan into the house, whispering in Guren's ear, "Don't stray too far from me."

Faced with Yang Xing's concern, Guren's face broke into a rare smile.

She discovered that spending time with Yang Xing allowed her to forget time and worries more easily than when she was with Orochimaru, which began to change her young heart.

Of course, Yang Xing had no time to pay attention to Guren's expression at the moment. This person had come to see him alone, which was definitely not a good thing, even though he could not sense any danger from him.

It's better to be cautious; Yang Xing doesn't want anything to happen to his Guren.

After all, the power of the Tailed Beast is unfathomable.

Once inside and having closed the door, Fan, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, pulled down his hat and walked in front of Yang Xing.

Before Yang Xing could react, his legs bent at the knees, and he knelt down.

"Lord Yang Xing, I know you can control the Tailed Beast and have the ability to suppress all of Tailed Beast. I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What's up?"

"Release the Tailed Beast within me!"

Even Yang Xing frowned, let alone Guren: "Give me a reason."

"There's no reason needed at all. That's the tragedy of being Jinchūriki." The Five-Tails Jinchuriki grew increasingly agitated. "Each Jinchūriki isn't chosen by themselves, nor are they chosen willingly. Without their knowledge, a terrifying monster is implanted within them, and this monster, if it goes berserk, can easily destroy an entire country."

"Lord Yang Xing, you would never understand, you would never know, the feelings of us Jinchūriki. We face nothing but terror and fear. To us, we are nothing more than monsters, walking humanoid monsters."

Yang Xing understood this very well. Jinchūriki were never a pleasing existence. What country's people would like such a time bomb? Tailed Beast that could go berserk at any time could directly destroy a country.

This difficulty in controlling oneself is something that ninjas from all countries understand, which is why the hearts of Jinchūriki are indeed filled with loneliness.

"Then why did you contact me?"

"I believe Lord Yang Xing has the strength. Seeing how easily you controlled the Three-Tails, I know you have a way to extract my Tailed Beast from my body."

Hearing this, Yang Xing laughed instead, "Oh, you're so confident. You should understand that there are two ways to extract Tailed Beast: forcibly extracting it, and making full preparations to completely separate it from its host."

The smile gradually turned cold, and he said bluntly, "The former can lead to death."

The Five-Tails Jinchuriki's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth. "I do believe that Lord Yang Xing has the strength to let me leave that Tailed Beast?"

Fan raised his head, his eyes revealing a powerful confidence.

This made Yang Xing laugh, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha, that's true, I am indeed confident, but... you should know what happens when Tailed Beast is separated from its host. A beast that has been imprisoned for decades, or even hundreds of years, suddenly gains freedom, what will happen to it? You should understand very well."

Yang Xing's words left Guren beside him looking puzzled. "Master means..."

"Yes, I'm afraid that when the time comes, its greatest desire will be to take revenge on humanity. This creature has been driven mad for so long, and it was sealed away by the Land of Earth; its first target for revenge will undoubtedly be the people of the Land of Earth."

"That has nothing to do with me. Those people, those guys, have absolutely nothing to do with me." Fan suddenly went berserk, his eyes bloodshot. "I don't want to be Jinchūriki, I don't like being Jinchūriki, I've had enough."

"You really have a bad personality."

No, it should be said that this is the nature of Jinchūriki; being in such an isolated situation for a long time will cause changes in some people's physical and mental health.

This person is the best proof right now; not Jinchūriki are as kind-hearted as Naruto.

"Please!" Kneeling with his forehead touching the ground, Fan Da seemed determined not to get up until Yang Xing agreed.

Instead of answering, Yang Xing turned and took Guren's small hand, saying, "By the way, does Guren want Tailed Beast?"

Guren paused for a second, then immediately replied, "Hmm? If Master wants me to have it, I won't refuse."

"Haha, you certainly have a sweet tongue. Don't worry, I won't give you something so dangerous. Even if I had a 99% chance of giving you complete control over the Tailed Beast, I still wouldn't let you have this kind of thing."

Fan looked up, his eyes filled with despair. "Lord Yang Xing!"

"I never said I wouldn't help you. Well, it just so happens that you can also fulfill one of my requests." Yang Xing said calmly, "Helping you is very simple."

"Thank you, thank you so much! I will never forget your kindness." Fan kowtowed repeatedly, his eyes shining brightly.

Yang Xing remained unmoved, waving his hand and saying, "I don't want favors from guys like you. If I agree, there will be conditions."

"Condition?"

"Yes, you'll write me a written agreement here, and it must be done with your blood."

Upon hearing that it had to be written in blood, Fan trembled slightly. "What does that mean?"

"It's simple. I'll release the Tailed Beast, and the Tsuchikage will still kill me. I don't want to fight that old man to the death." Yang Xing's face darkened. "I've had enough of taking the blame. Since you came to me personally and are willing to release the Tailed Beast inside you, write a blood oath clearly stating whether you want the Tailed Beast inside you or not. You're willing, and you want me to release it for you. You don't care about any other consequences."

"In that case?" Fan's expression changed. If he wrote it down, he would have no place to stand in this village.
