Two-Tails Jinchuriki

Kumogakure, Cloud and Lightning Gorge.

This was where jinchuriki trained. Outside Cloud and Lightning Gorge, a powerful barrier protected the jinchuriki.

The Two-Tails jinchuriki, Yugito.

The Eight-Tails jinchuriki, Killer B.

Killer B found a corner and went off to sing, dance, and rap.

Yugito trained on the practice field.

Suddenly, the space within Cloud and Lightning Gorge tore and twisted, and two figures emerged from it.

Both figures wore Akatsuki's red-cloud cloaks.

One wore a tiger-striped mask, while the other had two deep tear tracks on his face.

They were Obito and Itachi.

They had put on Akatsuki uniforms in an attempt to conceal their identities.

Yugito, the Two-Tails jinchuriki, looked at the two figures who had appeared. She could sense that they meant trouble!

The next instant, black-blue flames ignited across Yugito's body, covering her completely in an instant!

Like a cat, Yugito crouched on the ground and stared at Obito and Itachi.

Yugito opened her mouth as black, red, and blue chakra gathered together, forming a sphere of chakra!

It was a Tailed Beast Bomb!

Boom!

The Tailed Beast Bomb shot out, but it passed straight through Obito and Itachi's bodies.

Rumble!!

The immensely powerful Tailed Beast Bomb instantly shattered a distant mountain peak.

Itachi and Obito exchanged a glance, knowing they had to end this quickly!

Itachi no longer hesitated. His eyes transformed into the Mangekyo, and black flames instantly engulfed Yugito, the Two-Tails jinchuriki!

"Amaterasu!"

Amaterasu's black flames burned across Yugito's body, causing her unbearable agony!

Obito instantly appeared behind Yugito. Without avoiding the black flames, he grabbed her body directly!

The next moment, Yugito vanished from the spot along with the black flames engulfing her!

Obito came to Itachi's side, and the two disappeared without a trace.

If not for the marks of battle, it would have seemed as though they had never even been there!

Inside the Kamui dimension.

Itachi looked at the black flames burning on Obito's right hand. Just as he was about to say something, Obito grabbed his right arm with his left hand and tore off the entire right hand with brute force!

A hint of surprise appeared in Itachi's eyes.

Obito slowly said, "This hand was fake.

"Or rather, half of my body is fake..."

The black flames on Yugito's body were about to go out, because the black-blue tailed beast chakra cloak around her had already been burned away by Amaterasu.

Yugito lay on the verge of death within the Kamui dimension.

Obito and Itachi returned to Konoha in satisfaction.

Within the Uchiha clan compound, after thinking for a long time, Sasuke said to Fugaku, "Father, I want to become a jinchuriki!"

Fugaku immediately replied, "No. Becoming a jinchuriki is too dangerous! And it's the Two-Tails, which we have never encountered before! We don't know what kind of temperament it has!"

Sasuke said, "Father, I believe I can tame the Two-Tails! After all, it only has two tails!"

Fugaku still disagreed with Sasuke taking such a risk. As long as Sasuke continued developing steadily, his future achievements would be limitless.

But Sasuke wanted to use every possible method to become stronger!

Among the tailed beasts, the Two-Tails might not have been the strongest, but its coolness was beyond question.

Its black-blue flames were incredibly cool.

Though Fugaku did not agree to let Sasuke take the risk, once Sasuke set his mind on something, he would see it through!

In truth, Sasuke was confident that he could tame the Two-Tails!

First, he possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. Although his ocular technique was not suited for genjutsu, his genjutsu prowess was not weak either.

Second, with the Gedo Statue's intimidation, as well as Obito and Itachi backing him up, Sasuke could not think of any reason for failure!

Obito appeared behind Sasuke and brought him into the Kamui dimension!

There, the withered Gedo Statue opened one eye and spat out a purple chain from its mouth.

It pierced directly into Yugito's body!

This chain seemed to target only tailed beasts. Sasuke watched as, with the chain's pull—

A giant cat burning with black-blue flames was slowly being extracted from Yugito's body!

Until the Two-Tails was completely stripped from Yugito's body!

Only then did Sasuke see a true tailed beast for the first time!

The Two-Tails was enormous, its entire body burning with black-blue flames. To Sasuke's eyes, it seemed as though the Two-Tails was formed entirely from condensed chakra, with the chakra inside it nearly overflowing.

But now, the Two-Tails was in a miserable state.

A chain was pierced through its neck, dragging it step by step toward the Gedo Statue's mouth!

The Two-Tails saw the Gedo Statue. That thing possessed an innate suppressive power over tailed beasts.

Its eyes were filled with terror!

Sasuke said to the Two-Tails, "Matatabi, I'll give you two choices. First, become my tailed beast!

"Second, die!"

When the Two-Tails heard Sasuke call its name, it froze for a moment, and its favor toward Sasuke instantly soared.

The tailed beasts wished to be acknowledged. It did not want to be called a war machine like "Two-Tails"; it needed others to call it by its name too!

Matatabi!

Although it did not know how this brat knew its name!

But its fear of the Gedo Statue came from the depths of its heart, and the Two-Tails chose to become Sasuke's tailed beast!

The Two-Tails turned into a mass of black-blue flames and rushed into Sasuke's body!

The next moment, incomparably powerful chakra spilled from Sasuke's body, filling his surroundings with black-blue chakra!

As Sasuke drew the black-blue chakra back into his body, he became the Two-Tails jinchuriki!

Sasuke felt the incomparably powerful Two-Tails within him!

So this was a tailed beast?

The chakra it contained was simply too vast!

Even the Two-Tails was like this. How powerful must the Nine-Tails be?

Sasuke's consciousness entered his body, where he looked at the Two-Tails.

He said to it, "Matatabi, I know your name. I do indeed covet your power, which is why I wanted to become your jinchuriki.

"But I will not force you like a machine. We are equal... friends!"

After saying that, Sasuke left his inner world.

Matatabi was stunned.

Perhaps from the moment Sasuke called out Matatabi's name, Matatabi had already developed a favorable impression of him.

It had gotten along fairly well with Yugito, yet now that she had been killed, why did it not feel even the slightest sadness?

Perhaps the Two-Tails had seen too many people die, and Yugito was merely one of them.

Or perhaps, proud as it was, the Two-Tails had never thought much of Yugito from the beginning. After all, she called it... Two-Tails!

Over its long life.

The Two-Tails had seen eyes like Sasuke's before. If it remembered correctly, they were the eyes of the Uchiha clan.

He said it was not a weapon of war, but a... friend...

Heh, the Two-Tails did not believe human words.

But the Two-Tails held a trace of expectation toward Sasuke. Perhaps he truly was different from the others.

With that thought, the Two-Tails obediently lay down. As a tailed beast—

One day, it would always be captured and used as a weapon.

Rather than that, it might as well believe in this child...
