An unusual partnership between human and Tailed Beast

The canyon outside Takigakure is the hiding place of Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

A surge of Chakra erupted from every pore of the five Waterfall Village, transforming into towering flames that rippled through the surrounding forest.

Across from him, Kakuzu watched this familiar scene with a disdainful smile on his lips.

"Ha, the Hero Water, Waterfall Village is still such a useless piece of trash, only knowing how to improve his strength by relying on these external things."

"Hey, Kakuzu- san, what is this? It looks really powerful."

Looking Hiruko the five men opposite him, who seemed completely different from before, Hiruko couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"It's just some methods of exchanging life for power, which is equivalent to having a large amount of uncontrollable Chakra."

With just one sentence, Hiruko understood what was going on.

No wonder their Chakra was surging outwards; it turns out these guys simply couldn't control their rapidly increasing Chakra!

A child wielding a large hammer, though powerful, what good is it?

"Kakuzu, you continue to rest. I'll take care of these guys."

Hiruko his Kunai, and without Kakuzu's reply, he charged out in the next instant.

"So fast!"

The Captain the Takigakure ninja was horrified. He barely managed to assume a blocking stance, and his palm immediately felt the impact of the Kunai colliding with his.

Just now, Hiruko instantly killed the three Takigakure ninja without even seeing a shadow of them. This time, however, they only caught a glimpse of a shadow.

"Haha, just as I thought. What's the use of so much Chakra if you can't use it?"

Hiruko laughed arrogantly, his contempt undisguised. He activated his Swift Release again, and his figure vanished in a blur.

"Huhu Pang!"

A series of impacts rang out; the blessing of the Hero Water prevented them from being killed in one blow.

As for retaliation, we can't even catch a glimpse of the enemy, so what's the point of talking about retaliation?

The adage "what is held for too long will inevitably be lost" applies everywhere.

Under intense mental pressure, one of the ninjas finally slowed down a beat. A sharp pain shot through his chest, and his strength was gushing out of his wound like water.

"Haha, another one. How long can you guys keep this up!"

Hiruko laughter filled the air; it was the composure of someone who had victory in their grasp, and the unbridled sarcasm.

"Damn it, use wide-range Ninjutsu on everyone!"

One water ring after another formed around Takishinobu, quickly solidifying and transforming into water blades.

Waterfall Village: Whirlpool Water Blade.

The next moment, these water blades exploded and scattered in all directions.

Now, Hiruko had nowhere to hide. He stopped his rapid movement and began to Hand Seals.

Water Style · Water Formation Wall.

A Water Wall rose up in front of him, and the next instant, the sounds of the attack hitting the water followed.

"It's working. Keep the Ninjutsu going."

The members of Waterfall Village were greatly shocked; the pent-up frustration of being beaten was finally released.

Ignoring the depletion of their life force, they unleashed one wide-range Ninjutsu after another.

"Hey, if you keep dragging your feet, I'm going to do it myself!"

Kakuzu was more than ten meters away, finally grew impatient and began to urge them on from behind.

At this moment, the many Takigakure ninja realized with shock that they had only been harassing one member of the Akatsuki; there was another member who had been...

I'm in a spectator's state.

"Oh dear, I was hoping to play a little longer, but since you're urging me, Kakuzu -nii, let's wrap this up as soon as possible!"

Storm Release: Light Fang

A purple laser suddenly shot out from behind the Water Formation Wall, unexpectedly piercing through the abdomen of the Takigakure Captain. Then, the laser sliced horizontally to the left and right in a "Z" shape, instantly cutting the Takigakure Captain into three pieces.

Things developed too quickly, giving the Takigakure ninja no time to react. Their Captain had already died tragically on the spot, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Takigakure ninja.

Even the Ninjutsu unleashed by the other four Taki ninja froze for a moment.

In that instant, another laser beam swept across. Although the four Takigakure ninja tried their best to dodge, they were still a beat too slow. The laser beam flashed past their waists, and all four of them were cut in half at the waist.

A piercing scream echoed through the forest. The man who had been cut in half at the waist had not died instantly; he was now struggling desperately on the ground, clinging to half of his body.

"Sigh, if you hadn't resisted, you wouldn't be suffering like this now."

Hiruko's taunts rang out at just the right moment, but this time no one had time to pay attention to him.

Four Lightning Ball shot out from behind him, accurately hitting the four struggling men, abruptly silencing their screams.

"Don't waste time, capturing the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki is the key!"

Kakuzu walked past Hiruko, his admonition reaching Hiruko's ears.

"Hey, Kakuzu- nii, are you feeling soft-hearted?!"

The two walked slowly toward the center of the canyon, one after the other, paying no attention to the corpses and bloodstains scattered on the ground.

If we rewind a little, the shouts of the outer guard ninjas weren't just heard by the other Takigakure ninjas; even Fu, who was building the hut, heard them clearly.

At first, Fu quickly hid inside the nascent house, but as screams rang out, she knew that the Taki ninja on the outside could not protect her.

Anxious, Fu paced back and forth in the room, glancing at the direction of the battle and then at the exit on the other side of the canyon.

Should we slip away now while the fighting over there is still going on?

No, they'll definitely catch up. I can't outrun them.

Should we go up and help? More people mean more strength.

Let's forget it; going up there would only cause more trouble.

One idea after another popped into Fu's head, only to be rejected one after another.

As the sounds of the battle fading over there grew fainter, she knew time was running out.

Fu clutched her stomach.

"Looks like I can only rely on you!"

Fu sank her consciousness into her Mental Space, and everything went black before her eyes. The next moment, she found herself in a world of Sea of Flowers.

Red flowers, yellow flowers, purple flowers, flowers of all colors—there were them all.

Hillsides, plains, cliffs—wherever the eye can see, flowers are in full bloom.

The scene before her eyes was incredibly shocking for a girl who was only eleven or twelve years old. Fu stood there with her mouth agape, stunned for more than ten seconds before she came to her senses.

For the first time, she felt less repulsed by the Seven-Tails inside her.

Fu looked up into the depths of the Sea of Flowers and saw a huge High Platform in the center of a plain.

At the summit of this High Platform, a giant blue beetle with three pairs of wings and a tail lay prostrate.

Fu saw the Seven-Tails, and the Seven-Tails naturally noticed Fu as well.

The massive body shifted slightly, pointing its horn at Fu, and the Seven-Tails' deep voice rang in Fu's ears.

"Little girl, you've never been here before. What makes you dare to come here this time?"

Fu's small, thin body trembled slightly; she was clearly terrified.

However, the world of Sea of Flowers still gave her great encouragement, allowing her to muster the courage to walk towards the High Platform.

Once she reached the High Platform, looking at the steps that stretched for dozens of meters, Fu took a deep breath and began to climb up step by step.

The Seven-Tails observed everything without saying a word, simply watching silently.

When Fu reached the top of the High Platform and finally faced the enormous Seven-Tails fox, she was no longer afraid.

"Hello, Seven-Tails, I'm here to ask for your help."

"Oh, you're asking for my help? Why should I help you?"

This was the first time Seven-Tails had ever heard anyone speak to him like this; there was no disgust, only a faint urgency.

"There are bad guys outside trying to capture you. They've already taken the Two-Tails, the Four-Tails, and the Five-Tails. If you fall into their hands, you're in for a world of trouble."

"To me, it's just being sealed away in another place, it makes no difference. Let them capture me if they want, I don't care. Little girl, you should leave here quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fu felt a force repelling her, trying to drive her out of the place.

The little girl panicked immediately, waving her arms and shouting, "Stop! Stop! We can talk about this! I want to be your friend, I don't want you to be taken away by them!"

As she cried, the little girl burst into tears, but something must have touched Seven-Tails, because the force that had been repelling her actually disappeared.

"Even if I wanted to help you, there's nothing I could do with your current abilities. You're too weak, little girl."

Fu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbing as she tried to calm herself down. After a long while, she said earnestly, "If you're willing to help me, I'll give you my body and let you control it. Will that allow you to fully unleash your power?"

The Seven-Tails creature's massive body paused, clearly not expecting Fu to say that.

In the past, Jinchuriki always tried their best to wrest control of their bodies from the Tailed Beast; no Jinchuriki ever voluntarily cooperated with the Tailed Beast to control their bodies.

"This... maybe!"

Even Seven-Tails wasn't quite sure, and she started to stutter.

"Then it's settled. I trust you, Seven-Tails!"

Fu clenched her little fist, made a cheering gesture, and her face was full of seriousness.

"The rest is up to you!"

Outside, a minute after Fu closed her eyes, pale blue Chakra seeped out from her entire body.

Chakra flowed smoothly across Fu's body, seemingly without any aggression, until at a certain moment, it seemed that some kind of trigger had been reached, and Fu's body began to rapidly Tailed Beast Transformation.

First came one tail, then two, three, until Seven-Tails appeared. The next moment, a large amount of Chakra surged out from Fu's body, and her size expanded violently in an instant.

When Kakuzu and Hiruko finished off the eight Takigakure ninja and arrived at the center of the canyon, the Seven-Tails had already completed its Complete Tailed Beast Transformation. Its two enormous insect eyes stared at the tiny humans beneath its feet, and it made its first sound.

"Humans, are you the ones who want to capture me?"

"Oh dear, things don't look good."

Hiruko looked at the nearly twenty-meter-tall Seven-Tails in front of him, then turned to Kakuzu muttered something.

"This is... Tailed Beast going berserk? Never mind, the Tailed Beast has taken over the Jinchuriki's body and can't unleash its full power. Let's hurry and finish it off together."

A hint of confusion flashed in Kakuzu's eyes, but he immediately cleared his mind of all distractions, distanced himself from the Seven-Tails, and prepared for battle.

Hiruko looked at the Seven-Tails standing up and muttered to himself as he retreated, "Is this a berserk mode? It doesn't seem ferocious at all!"

At this moment, the Seven-Tails had already taken flight, its three pairs of translucent wings whipping up a whirlwind that swept across the sky, carrying with it fine fragments of its carapace like knives.

Hiruko Swift Release technique to instantly teleport, he was still grazed by the Wind Blade, leaving three bloody gashes on his cheek. He gritted his teeth and formed Hand Seals.

A Storm Release: Light Fang grazed the Seven-Tails' abdominal armor, only slicing off a small piece of its shell, but it thoroughly enraged the giant insect.

The Seven-Tails nimbly spun in the air, its massive head lowering as dense Chakra rapidly gathered in front of its mouth.

The next moment, the transparent Air Bullet whistled as it hurtled towards where the two were standing.

Kakuzu grabbed Hiruko and rolled away instantly. The Earth Style: Earth Style Wall, which had just been Air Bullet.

Amidst the billowing dust, the Seven-Tails swooped down, its sharp-sharp tail lashing out at Hiruko, who hadn't yet managed to get up.

Hiruko could only hastily raise his left arm to block, but the edge of the tail, as hard as steel, grazed his shoulder and slashed away. Blood sprayed all over the Seven-Tails, and his left arm was severed at the shoulder and rolled to the ground.

Damn it!

Kakuzu roared and pounced forward, his five Earth Grudge Fear Tentacles, imbued with Lightning Style Chakra, pierced the gaps between the Seven-Tails' segments, tearing off half a piece of its carapace and drawing the Seven-Tails' wrath upon himself.

The Seven-Tails took off again, scattering large amounts of scales in the air. These scales had a strong hallucinogenic effect, clearly indicating that the Seven-Tails intended to use them to capture the two humans in one fell swoop.

"You beast, don't look down on people."

Kakuzu together, and four bulges swelled up on his back. In the next instant, these four bulges detached from his body and each transformed into a tentacle monster wearing a bizarre mask.

Kakuzu's true form Hand Seals, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a gust of wind.

Wind Style: Great Breakthrough

The sky was filled with scales and dust, which were then lifted into the air by the strong winds, only to be dispersed by even stronger crosswinds high in the sky.

On the other side, the four masked monsters also unleashed their power simultaneously.

Lightning Style: Lightning Net.

Fire Style: Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet.

Water Style: Water Gun Technique.

Earth Style: Splitting Earth Needle

All the Ninjutsu were either for restraint or ranged attacks, but unfortunately, they were clearly insufficient against Tailed Beast like the Seven-Tails, which was adept at flying. Only a very small number of these attacks managed to hit the Seven-Tails.

"Hiruko, is he dead?"

I won't die even if you die.

A weak voice came from behind a tree not far away.

"I'll hold it off. You watch for the right opportunity and use Storm Release to attack it."

Kakuzu finished speaking, without waiting for Hiruko's reply, he charged straight at Seven-Tails.

The Wind Style: Pressure Damage technique was unleashed, firing one high-pressure wind ball after another. The aim was not to directly hit the Seven-Tails, but only to hope that the strong airflow would affect the Seven-Tails' flight.

Persistence pays off; the chaotic wind field did indeed affect the Seven-Tails.

However, Seven-Tails didn't care. It lowered its head, pointed its horn forward, reduced its flight altitude, and charged towards one of its opponents.

Earth Style · Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall.

The earth-elemental masked monster took the initiative to block in front of him, and an Earth Wall rose up in front of him, trying to use the Earth Wall to block the flying giant worm.

A sly glint flashed in the Seven-Tails' eyes. Wind-style Chakra gathered on the ramming horn on its head, and the thick horn transformed into a sharp blade as it grazed the Earth Wall.
