Ch. 381The Five-Tails
Naruto freed the Three-Tails from Utakata and told Kirigakure’s Anbu that the tailed beast was now in his custody. He explained his other relationships to Hinata, who declared she would not give up on him, while the Three-Tails stayed with Mabui and discovered candy.
- Naruto’s three tails stopped Hinata, Yamato, and Shino from interfering as he removed the Three-Tails from Utakata, who survived because she left him some Chakra.
- The Three-Tails took the form of a white-haired girl, and Naruto told the arriving Kirigakure Anbu that she was in his possession and that Utakata should be spared.
- Naruto gave the Anbu money, then took Mabui and the Three-Tails back toward Otogakure while Hinata asked to speak with him.
- Naruto explained his earrings and ring to Hinata and asked whether she could accept his many lovers; Hinata kissed him and vowed she would not give up on him before fainting.
- Mabui gave the Three-Tails candy, then left to get more, and Naruto later found the Three-Tails happily eating from a huge bag of sweets.
