Zhou Cheng did not know which lake the Three-Tails was in, so he could only search based on his memories.
He kept his sensory ability active the entire way.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Cheng detected an enormous lake.
He could also sense a massive creature beneath its surface.
The corners of Zhou Cheng's mouth lifted. This had to be the place.
They quickened their pace and headed forward.
Soon, they came upon an enormous lake.
At a glance, Zhou Cheng could see that the water was very dark.
The lake had to be deep for its surface to look that color.
That made sense. How could a shallow lake accommodate a gigantic tailed beast?
"There should be a tailed beast in this lake. Be careful!"
A tailed beast!
Haku and the other two exchanged glances, seeing the shock in one another's eyes.
"Are there still tailed beasts in this world that aren't sealed inside jinchūriki?"
Zhou Cheng nodded slightly. The only one!
"If I remember correctly, its first jinchūriki was actually a shinobi from our Konoha!"
"But that only lasted a very short time!"
"Its second jinchūriki was Kirigakure's Fourth Mizukage!"
"After the Fourth Mizukage died, Kirigakure couldn't find a suitable candidate to become its jinchūriki. They could only release the tailed beast into the wild!"
As Zhou Cheng spoke, a huge swell suddenly rose from the lake.
Then three enormous tails broke through the surface, followed by a turtle-like shell.
Finally, its entire body emerged.
"Isobu!"
"It really is him!"
Zhou Cheng was just about to step forward and greet Isobu.
A barrage of shuriken came hurtling toward them!
Zhou Cheng's eyes narrowed. An ambush!
Great Breakthrough!
A tremendous gust scattered the shuriken filling the sky.
Who could it be?
The Akatsuki?
Or Kirigakure?
*Could it
