The sun shone brightly that day.
Shin lay in the courtyard, sunbathing and enjoying the sunlight, his eyes closed.
“Shin-nii is getting lazier and lazier.” Konan put down her origami and glanced at Shin.
“He wasn’t always like this. Shin used to be very hardworking—” Tsunade commented.
“That’s right! I have the most say in this! I grew up with Shin!” Kushina glanced smugly at Mikoto, Mei Terumī, Tsunade, and Konan, displaying her sense of superiority.
“As if that’s something to be proud of,” Mei Terumī pouted.
“Mm, I don’t think it’s anything special either,” Mikoto pursed her lips and nodded.
“Is that so? But I feel it is quite remarkable. I can clearly feel the sourness emanating from you all. Just be envious.” Kushina wore a smug smile.
Though they claimed it was nothing special, their hearts clearly thought otherwise. Kushina could sense that sourness from a mile away.
“Kushina, if you keep provoking me, I’m going to give you a beating you won’t forget. I’m warning you.” Tsunade’s face darkened as she questioned Kushina.
Tsunade’s fists were already raised.
“…”
Though not afraid of Tsunade, Kushina had opened fire with a map-wide attack this time, offending everyone—she decided to back down.
“HELP! HELP!” Just then, Hanabi frantically pushed open the courtyard gate and ran in from outside.
“What’s wrong?” Shin opened his eyes and asked the flustered Hanabi.
“I saw a monster at the beach! A really, really big monster!” Hanabi patted her small chest, still looking somewhat frightened. It was unclear what kind of monster she had seen.
“What monster?” Shin used Kagura Mind’s Eye to sense. After sensing, Shin’s expression turned peculiar.
“It’s actually the Three-Tails. How did it end up here?”
Shin’s expression was very strange. Logically, the Three-Tails should be in the Land of Water—
How did it get to the Land of Whirlpools?
“Three-Tails? Is it a Tailed Beast?” Hanabi asked Shin curiously.
“That’s right, it’s a Tailed Beast. But its strength isn’t great among all the Tailed Beasts.” In terms of size, the Three-Tails was one of the larger ones, but its strength… was very average, probably at the bottom.
“Let’s go take a look.” Shin stood up and led Hanabi towards the Three-Tails.
‘Isobu had intruded on his territory!’
———
Instantly arriving at the seaside, the Three-Tails was currently lying on the beach, seemingly sunbathing.
“That turtle’s… sunbathing??” Instead of staying properly in the Land of Water, it actually came to the Land of Whirlpools and even crawled ashore to sunbathe.
Don’t you like staying in the water??
“This big guy looks tough. I was fishing earlier and got scared by this thing,” Hanabi told Shin.
“Weren’t you supposed to be training? Why did you come here to fish?” Shin looked at Hanabi, waiting for an explanation.
Hanabi just giggled foolishly, then changed the subject, resolutely avoiding Shin’s question.
“Forget it. I won’t bother with you about this. Hinata’s already doing that enough…” Shin glanced at Hanabi.
He knew she had slacked off again. It wasn’t the first or second time; Shin was already used to it.
“Three-Tails, you’ve got some nerve, running into my territory.” Shin had already tacitly considered the Land of Whirlpools his domain.
The Three-Tails showing up without even greeting him?
Who else should he deal with if not it? Of course, the Three-Tails didn’t know whose territory this was. But that wasn’t important. Did Shin need a reason to deal with the Three-Tails?
The Three-Tails, enjoying the sunlight, lifted its head and opened its eyes, staring at Shin.
Shin sensed a violent killing intent from the Three-Tails—
“Shin-nii, I think it wants to fight you,” Hanabi said to Shin.
Yes, even Hanabi could sense it.
———
“The Three-Tails is not worthy. Only the Ten-Tails is a challenge.” Shin didn’t care about a bottom-tier Tailed Beast like the Three-Tails.
In fact, Shin didn’t even care about the Nine-Tails. At most, it was a bit smarter, an intelligent beast…
Only the power of the Ten-Tails could make Shin pay a little more attention. After all, the Ten-Tails’ true form was the God Tree.
Shin was somewhat curious about the God Tree. ‘If only I could capture a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.’
The God Tree was planted by the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Shin was somewhat curious about this God Tree, and also how the Ōtsutsuki Clan obtained the God Tree seeds.
Getting sidetracked—
At this moment, the Three-Tails looked at Shin with uncertainty. What did it hear?? Did this human just mention the Ten-Tails?
This human knows about the Ten-Tails??
The Tailed Beasts’ greatest taboo was likely the Ten-Tails. They were all chakra separated from the Ten-Tails by the Sage of Six Paths.
They feared the Ten-Tails the most—
Because if the Ten-Tails were to revive, it would first reclaim its chakra. And if the Ten-Tails reclaimed its chakra, the other nine Tailed Beasts would obviously die.
The Three-Tails’ fierce gaze softened. It turned and left, moving with surprising speed, as if something was chasing it.
“This human is probably not to be trifled with—” the Three-Tails judged for itself.
Don’t think the Three-Tails is stupid just because it’s a turtle. In fact, the Three-Tails was quite cunning.
Alas, without Shin’s permission, could the Three-Tails escape?
“Come back here—” An immense gravitational force erupted from Shin’s hand. Universal Pull dragged the giant turtle, the Three-Tails, back.
“Sigh, if only I could learn that.” Hanabi glanced at Shin, muttering enviously to herself.
Her older sister knew this technique too…
When Hanabi asked Shin to teach her, she found out she couldn’t learn it—it was a Kekkei Genkai.
Hanabi knew Kekkei Genkai couldn’t be taught, so she didn’t unreasonably pester Shin to teach her.
Being dragged back by Shin, the Three-Tails’ ferocity was also aroused.
Tailed Beasts generally had terrible tempers. Though it felt Shin was not to be trifled with, it didn’t mean it was afraid—
Its large mouth opened, Yin and Yang chakra gathering, quickly forming a sphere that shot towards Shin. This was the Tailed Beasts’ Strongest technique—the Tailed Beast Ball.
Seeing the incoming Tailed Beast Ball, Shin used a Shinra Tensei to send it flying back.
Then—
His eyes flickered for a moment, and the Three-Tails was completely controlled by Shin.
“Did you control that big guy?”
Hanabi, seeing three tomoe appear in the Three-Tails’ eyes, transforming them into a three-tomoe Sharingan, guessed the Three-Tails was now under control.
Knowing the Three-Tails was controlled, Hanabi immediately rushed forward and attacked it with the Gentle Fist, avenging herself for being scared earlier.
