Contract Six-Tails

Judging by the current situation, the Six-Tails Saiken will likely remain a wild Tailed Beast for some time.

It will certainly be hunted down eventually; both Konoha and Kirigakure are bound to make a move.

Capturing a wild Tailed Beast is never an easy task; it requires preparation.

If Uchiha Akira were to forcibly contract the Six-Tails, making it his own Summoning Beast, then there would be room to maneuver.

After a brief preparation, Uchiha Akira could directly summon the Six-Tails and complete the capture.

It is possible to truly make the Six-Tails his own property before Konoha and Kirigakure can take action.

Creating a summoning contract scroll is not difficult, and Uchiha Akira happens to have blank scrolls on him.

In just one minute, he wrote out a complete summoning contract on a blank scroll, creating a summoning contract scroll.

Uchiha Akira gathered the materials for the contract on the spot, using the blood of the Six-Tails Saiken as the medium.

After crafting the summoning contract, Uchiha Akira forcibly used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control the Six-Tails Saiken, making it leave its name on the massive scroll.

Following that, Uchiha Akira left his own name on the scroll, officially completing the contract.

By the time all of this was finished, two and a half minutes had passed.

As time went on, the Six-Tails Saiken's struggles grew increasingly violent, making it harder and harder for Uchiha Akira to maintain control.

Tailed Beasts are chakra-based lifeforms, and even a complete Mangekyō Sharingan struggles to maintain control over them for an extended period.

It seems I have no choice but to retreat; I can only hope that Konoha and Kirigakure aren't too quick to act, Uchiha Akira pondered.

Simultaneously, he unleashed the ocular power of his left eye.

In an instant, the Six-Tails Saiken, which had been struggling incessantly, went completely still, like a silent, dead object.

The next moment, a flash of blue electricity surged over Uchiha Akira, and his figure vanished.

In the blink of an eye, he had dashed a hundred meters away, pushing his speed to the limit as he sprinted into the distance.

As Uchiha Akira left the scene, the Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu on the Six-Tails Saiken lost its source of chakra and ocular power.

Twenty seconds later, the Six-Tails Saiken let out a roar of fury toward the sky.

Vast amounts of chakra erupted from its body, and with that roar, a chakra shockwave kicked up clouds of dust.

By this time, Uchiha Akira had already sprinted over a thousand meters away.

The Six-Tails Saiken looked in the direction of Uchiha Akira's departure, a flicker of fear crossing its face.

Clearly, its experience within the genjutsu when Uchiha Akira trapped it earlier had not been pleasant.

The intelligence of a Tailed Beast is no less than that of a human, and having lived for a long time, Saiken knew that the Uchiha Clan ninja from before had not used his full strength.

As a sentient being that had lived for ages, it knew many secrets, including the existence of Mangekyō Sharingan ocular techniques.

Therefore, it had no intention of giving chase; after identifying a direction, it sprinted toward the depths of the forest at its top speed.

It had finally managed to have its jinchūriki break the seal and regain its freedom.

Saiken never wanted to return to that dark seal again; all it wanted now was to preserve its liberty.

Sensing that Saiken was not pursuing him, Uchiha Akira breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he still had a surplus of chakra, conventional ninjutsu were of little use against a Tailed Beast.

If Saiken had truly pursued him, Uchiha Akira estimated that after a prolonged struggle, he would have had no choice but to use Kamui to send it to the Pure Land.

After sprinting for several kilometers, Uchiha Akira returned to the Konoha team.

"Young man from the Uchiha, are you alright?" Might Duy was the first to come over and greet him.

At the same time, Kakashi and the others, who were on guard, also turned their eyes toward Uchiha Akira.

Seeing that Uchiha Akira only had a few scorched marks on him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine," Uchiha Akira shook his head and said, "The Six-Tails Saiken has left this area; there's no telling where it might go."

Hearing that the Six-Tails had moved away, everyone present let out a sigh of relief.

The pressure a Tailed Beast brought was simply too great; such an uncontrollable creature was incredibly oppressive.

A single Tailed Beast Bomb would be enough to send everyone present to the Pure Land.

"It's good that it's gone!" Hyuga Homura muttered, feeling a great sense of relief.

"This incident happened so suddenly, shouldn't we send someone back to the front lines to report it?" Might Duy looked at the three jonin present and said, "After all, it is a Tailed Beast that has gained complete freedom. If it appears on the battlefield, it might cause the situation to change."

"Duy-senpai, you're overthinking it," said Chiba Ryu, who was wearing a jonin vest and had an ordinary appearance. "Tailed Beasts aren't ordinary creatures; their intelligence is no less than ours. I doubt they would be foolish enough to run onto a battlefield."

"We still need to notify them," Hyuga Homura shook his head and looked at Kakashi. "Jonin Kakashi, what do you think?"

"I believe we should notify the front lines; a free Tailed Beast is a threat we cannot ignore," Kakashi said in a deep voice.

Although he was young, he hadn't relied on Might Duy's help during the recent confrontation with Kirigakure, having killed a Kirigakure jonin on his own.

Therefore, Hyuga Homura and Chiba Ryu did not view Kakashi as a mere kid; he was a jonin whose strength was perhaps even above theirs.

"I'll go," Might Duy said. "The young man from the Uchiha just had a major battle with the Six-Tails and needs to rest."

He looked at the group and said solemnly, "I can move very quickly after opening the Gate of View of the Eight Inner Gates. At my current speed, it will only take half a day to return to the front lines."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Duy." Uchiha Akira had no intention of taking on the task; he truly needed a rest right now.

The battle against the Six-Tails jinchuriki had not been easy, and he had exhausted more than half of his chakra.

Seeing Might Duy step forward voluntarily, Hyuga Homura and the others nodded in agreement.

Might Duy's speed was indeed faster than anyone else present, with the exception of Uchiha Akira, making him the most suitable choice for this mission.

Watching Might Duy disappear, Uchiha Akira and the others continued to escort the village's wounded toward Konoha.

As they ventured deeper and drew closer to Konoha, no further disturbances occurred for the time being.

On the other side, after sprinting at high speed for half a day, Might Duy returned to the front lines.

Upon receiving the news, the commanders of the various battlefields wore grim expressions.

The level of Kirigakure's madness exceeded their expectations; they had actually deployed a jinchuriki onto the battlefield without a sound.

The border of the Land of Fire was too long for them to provide comprehensive protection, making it incredibly easy for the enemy to infiltrate.

"I never imagined Kirigakure would go to such lengths." Minato Namikaze sighed, then looked toward Uchiha Fugaku, saying with a hint of relief, "Fugaku, it's fortunate you suggested that Uchiha Akira go along, otherwise it would have been a disaster."

Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand and said, "Minato, I was just being cautious; I didn't expect Kirigakure to be this insane."

Uchiha Fugaku looked at the high-ranking battlefield commanders present, including Minato Namikaze, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choza, and asked:

"By the way, regarding the Six-Tails, since this Tailed Beast is still within our Land of Fire, how should we handle it?"
