The Three-Tails ' enormous body gradually shrank and slowly became ethereal; or rather, this was the original form of the Tailed Beast —a portion of the Chakra from the Ten-Tails' God Tree.
Sitting Naoki Senju in front of the Three-Tails, Senju Naoki slowly absorbed the enormous beast into his body. The most difficult part of sealing a Tailed Beast Tailed Beast is getting it to obediently enter the Jinchūriki's body, but Naoki Senju didn't need to worry about that at all, because the Three-Tails Isobu, entered willingly.
Just like putting an elephant in a refrigerator, sealing Tailed Beast only requires two steps: stuffing the Tailed Beast into the Jinchūriki's body, and then using Sealing Jutsu to completely seal the Tailed Beast inside the Jinchūriki's body.
Now that the first step is complete, it's time to move on to the second.
Senju Naoki, who was sitting Naoki Senju on the ground, began to Hand Seals. The Three-Tails, which had already transferred most of its Chakra into Naoki's body, sensed that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Hai-Shen-You-Xu-Wei
" Sealing Jutsu: Four Symbols Seal "
A vortex pattern, surrounded by incantations and Tomoe, slowly took shape as a sealing formation. The Three-Tails ' Chakra began to reverse, trying to escape from Naoki Senju's body, but in return, it was devoured even more fiercely.
"This is Sealing Jutsu! Damn it, you're definitely not the Sage of Six Paths! How do you know the names of the Tailed Beast? And the Sage of Six Paths's voice... Who are you?!"
In the final moments before being dragged into the Four Symbols Seal, the Three-Tails Fox asked a question with resentment.
Having successfully captured a Tailed Beast, Naoki Senju was in high spirits. However, without the Three-Tails ' active cooperation, even with only a small amount of Chakra remaining, he would still need to absorb it for some time... So, let's chat with the little turtle first.
As Naoki Senju's consciousness sank deeper, he opened his eyes again to find himself in a dark dungeon.
This is the interior of the Four Symbols Seal, so it's naturally not as comfortable as the Three-Tails ' spiritual world. The Three-Tails only experienced a short twenty-odd days of freedom before being sealed away again by an 'evil' ninja.
Following the loud crashing sound from not far away, Naoki Senju saw a prison similar to Naruto's, and the Three-Tails relentlessly attacking the Four Symbols Seal.
" Isobu, don't waste your energy. This is the Uzumaki Clan's Four Symbols Seal, specifically designed to target enemies with powerful Chakra, such as Tailed Beast."
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.
The three tails hit the seal more violently, and a hideous and terrifying turtle face pressed against the intact red pillar, roaring unwillingly:
"Damn the Senju Clan! How dare you impersonate the Sage of Six Paths and deceive me! I will not forgive you!"
Naoki Senju seemed oblivious to the roar of the Three-Tails Isobu, and sat cross-legged in front of the sealing gate.
The Three-Tails, filled with intense hatred, stretched out its short tortoise claws, attempting to pull Naoki Senju into the seal. However, those tiny claws, barely extending beyond the seal, looked utterly comical.
With great difficulty suppressing a laugh, Naoki Senju pretended to be serious and said, " Isobu, aren't you curious~ how I know your name?"
The Three-Tails reluctantly retracted its claws; it was too far, simply out of reach...
"Cunning human, I will never believe a word you say again." The Three-Tails chose to close its eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
"Oh? Don't you care who betrayed the Tailed Beast?"
The Three-Tails ' eyelids trembled, but ultimately did not fully open, repeating in its mind, "This is just a cunning human's scheme, don't believe it, don't believe it..."
However, the Three-Tails ' anger was not as pronounced as before. Clearly, the Three-Tails found betrayal more unacceptable than being deceived by humans.
" Isobu, the names of Nine Tailed Beasts were personally given by the Sage of Six Paths, so apart from the Sage of Six Paths, only the Tailed Beast Tailed Beast themselves know their names. And he just happens to be missing a Tailed Beast companion he can talk to. As for the rest, I don't think I need to say anything more."
Having said that, Naoki Senju's consciousness returned to his body, and in the silent sealed prison, only the sound of the Three-Tails stirring the water remained.
"The cunning humans are right, only we ourselves know our names, but who are we... Shukaku? Matatabi?... Or Kurama?"
The Three-Tails ' not-so-bright brain was working at high speed, and soon after, its roar echoed throughout every corner of the Three-Tails Four Symbols Seal.
"You cunning human, at least finish your sentence!!!"
Naoki Senju overestimated the Tailed Beast once again. While they are indeed highly intelligent, they are completely unaware of the intricate schemes of humans and lack the same level of vigilance. The previous probing had already revealed the Three-Tails' full cunning.
Even if he pointed all the clues to the Nine-Tails, the Three-Tails would not firmly suspect the Nine-Tails, but would suspect every other Tailed Beast. The plan to sow discord could be said to have succeeded, but it was not entirely successful.
As his consciousness returned to his body, the absorption of the Three-Tails 'Chakra came to an end. Fortunately, he had managed to trick the Three-Tails into a state of disarray this time, otherwise, there would have been more trouble. It would be safer to master Sage Art: Gate of the Great God as soon as possible, since he was a person who preferred to play it safe.
As for capturing the Mizukage of Kirigakure alive, that was just self-defense.
When she opened her eyes again, besides seeing the familiar green haori and her impressive bust, she also saw Mei Terumi, who had been captured again.
Naoki Senju almost burst out laughing, but he could only suppress his laughter as he walked to Mei Terumi's side and untied the bindings on her belt.
"What's wrong with Lord Mizukage? Has he become addicted to being captured? Why don't you come back to Konoha with us?"
Although Tsunade was somewhat unaware of the current situation, she glanced at the sealing array on Naoki Senju's abdomen, which had not yet completely disappeared, and was immediately filled with both joy and worry.
Becoming Jinchūriki of Tailed Beast does indeed enhance combat power and eliminates concerns about Chakra. However, this high-reward endeavor is also highly risky. Aside from a few Perfect Jinchuriki, most Jinchūriki meet a tragic end...
Mei Terumi rubbed her sore wrists. The strength of the Superhuman Strength Sannin just too great... At the same time, she glanced enviously at the sealing array below Naoki Senju's abdomen...
If Kirigakure had such a sophisticated Sealing Jutsu, the Three-Tails wouldn't have been forcibly taken away by those 'bandits'...
Thinking of this, Mei Terumi, who had only been in office for a day, was so angry that her chest ached, and she said in an unfriendly tone:
"You've taken the Three-Tails, why aren't you leaving? The elite Anbu from Kirigakure have arrived. Do you want another battle?"
Starting a war under these circumstances would not benefit Kirigakure at all; it would only increase their losses. Mei Terumi was unwilling to let Kirigakure's remaining resources be completely destroyed by Naoki Senju.
"Thank you very much, Lord Mizukage. Farewell."
Naoki Senju also didn't want to continue fighting. He wasn't a reckless fool, so why should he fight to the death with Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages? Even if he destroyed Kirigakure's foundation, Iwagakure would be the happiest, since they were the closest to Kirigakure in the Land of Water. They were just getting a free advantage.
"Wait!" Mei Terumi suddenly remembered something and anxiously called out to the two who were about to leave.
Naoki Senju turned around, remembering something funny, and looked at Mei Terumi with a smile.
" Lord Mizukage, what brings you here?"
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice, embarrassed and annoyed, "Still pretending to be stupid? Where's my antidote?"
"Antidote? There is no antidote."
"No antidote... How dare you..." Mei Terumi, in her rage, suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something, but when she looked ahead again, Naoki Senju and Tsunade had already disappeared.
" Lord Mizukage. Consider that body-refining elixir prepared by Sister Tsunade a farewell gift; you don't need to return it."
The sound coming from afar sent Mei Terumi's spine. How could there be such a despicable person in this world?
" Naoki Senju!" Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and shouted out the name that was etched into her heart.
"Uh..." The group of Kirigakure standing behind Mei Terumi exchanged Anbu glances. They had never seen the Lord Mizukage so angry before. Finally, one of the bolder ones asked in a low voice:
" Lord Mizukage, shall we continue the pursuit?"
"Chase? Chase my ass! Everyone, get back to Kirigakure immediately and search every corner and every person in Kirigakure. Don't let any spies from other ninja villages escape."
"Yes!"
Mei Terumi, unusually, swore. This beautiful woman, whose name was synonymous with elegance, had already written down the name of a certain ill-tempered white-haired man in her notebook, and on the first page, it was in bold capital letters.
