The Three-Tails' attitude was calmer than Minato had expected.
"You were captured by the First Hokage and sold to Kirigakure, right?" Minato asked.
Three-Tails nodded: "Yeah—that's why I don't like that guy."
You have a really good personality!
Such a ferocious beast, yet it puts on such an honest and docile appearance, which inexplicably touches Minato's heart.
"Then give me some chakra, and I'll set you free in twenty years at the latest, how about that?"
Minato raised his fist as he spoke: "This kind of communication shouldn't be unfamiliar to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Three-Tails silently raised its enormous claw and gently slammed it down on Minato.
With their chakra linked, Minato clearly sensed the Three-Tails' emotions.
It was a kind of curiosity without malice, and a natural fondness for the identity of one's own child.
The Three-Tails also sensed Minato's emotions—a pure and unadulterated sense of closeness.
So even though he wasn't sure if Minato had the ability, he didn't mind trusting him this once.
"So your name is Minato Namikaze?"
The three-tailed creature stared unblinkingly at Minato with its large eyes: "How interesting, you actually think I'm cute."
"Because it's such a contrast; you're so big, yet you have such a gentle personality."
Minato smiled and said, "Besides, you're clearly an intelligent species, yet you were arrested without any explanation. I've always felt sorry for you."
The Three-Tails nodded. With the chakra connection, it could sense that Minato wasn't saying this against his will; he genuinely felt sorry for the Tailed Beasts.
"Your name is Isobu, right? I've written it down."
Minato said gently, "You gave me chakra, so we're friends now."
Isobu nodded, his three tails swaying gently behind him. "Speaking of which, what are you collecting the tailed beast chakra for?"
"I intend to combine the power of the nine tailed beasts into one and become an existence like the Sage of Six Paths."
"Um."
Minato frankly stated, "My strength is already considerable, but I have a premonition that I will encounter an even more powerful enemy in the future. It will be a catastrophe that threatens the entire ninja world, including the tailed beasts. So—could you lend me a hand then?"
Isobu tilted his head, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long pause, it nodded gently: "Okay, I can help you."
"Thank you very much!"
Minato smiled with delight, surprised that the other party was so approachable.
As expected, not all tailed beasts are as irritable as that arrogant fox.
Only a few seconds had passed outside after they left the Three-Tails' sealed space.
Minato reconnected with the Six-Tails Jinchuriki's chakra and entered the Six-Tails' sealing space.
Unlike the Three-Tails, the Six-Tails is a giant slug, but its form is different from the traditional slug form of the Slug Sage. It has hands and feet, a round head, and looks adorable.
"Um----"
"Hello, nice to meet you," Minato greeted politely.
"Hmm—nice to meet you, kid."
The Six-Tails' voice sounded shrill: "It seems Isobu gave you a portion of his chakra."
"Yes, I also hope to obtain your chakra."
Minato nodded: "In exchange, I will set you free in twenty years at most."
As he spoke, he raised his fist and pointed it at the Six-Tails.
Seeing this, the Six-Tails stretched out its arms, only to find that they were too short to reach. Then it bent down and gently pressed its fist against Minato's.
"You have a really good personality."
The antennae on the Six-Tails' head twitched: "This is the first time I've seen a human who doesn't have any negative feelings towards me. No wonder Isobu was willing to give you his chakra; that guy likes children."
"You have a great personality too," Minato said with a smile.
"I just have a decent relationship with Isogai, so it doesn't matter if I give him face."
The six-tailed creature shrieked, "Remember this well, my name is Saiken. Don't forget my name, Minato Namikaze~"
"Um!"
Minato nodded emphatically: "Thank you, Saiken."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing—"
Saiken reminded him, "Now that you have my and Isobu's chakra, you can contact us at any time through chakra, making it easier to contact other tailed beasts. But remember, Kurama is an exception. That guy has a terrible temper and won't listen to us tailed beasts."
"Most importantly, it is the strongest among us. Don't underestimate it. Even if I and Iobu went up together, we wouldn't be a match for it."
"Yes, I'll be careful."
Minato looked at the giant slug in front of him and smiled, surprised that it would offer such a helpful reminder.
Looking at the giant slug in front of him, Minato suddenly had a whimsical thought: "Speaking of which, Saiken, you're a male, right?"
"Tailed beasts don't distinguish between male and female. Slugs in nature are also hermaphroditic. However, from my own perspective, I am indeed male." Saiken nodded.
"Is that so—"
Minato grinned: "I also know a slug, the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, one of the three holy lands. It's my summoning beast, and I guess it identifies itself as female. I'd like to introduce you to it."
'
"
The rhinoceros's tail swished gently, somewhat speechless.
To tie the knot for the tailed beasts?
Hakimen, you bastard!
"Well—I don't have many friends, but I'd like to get to know them sometime."
After thinking it over, Saiken didn't refuse Minato's offer. Tailed beasts have very long lifespans, and it wouldn't mind making more friends.
Although neither tailed beasts nor slugs have males and females, it's nice to have similar beings as companions.
Since they are both slugs, they must also prefer to live in acidic, damp places, right?
Thinking of this, it suddenly became impatient and happily wiggled and twisted.
Seeing this, Minato couldn't help but smile.
After saying goodbye to the rhinoceros hound, he exited the sealed space.
"Alright, thank you both for your cooperation. Please pass on my message to Master Yuan that this matter is settled."
Minato said calmly, "I will no longer pursue the responsibility of Kirigakure, but if Kirigakure dares to provoke me again, next time I will shake the eggs until the yolks are broken and split the earthworms upright."
Without paying attention to their ugly expressions, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave Kirigakure.
On the other side, Yuan Shi also soon learned of Minato's departure and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His already aged face looked even older.
"Has the announcement already been sent out?"
"As you instructed, the supplies have been sent to all villages except Kumogakure."
Upon hearing the question from the master, the subordinate bowed slightly: "However, the village's prestige has been severely damaged this time, and the workload will likely plummet in the near future—"
"Don't panic, he didn't just target us."
Master Yuan chuckled: "The Hidden Sand Village, the Hidden Stone Village, and the Hidden Mist Village have all suffered defeats, while the Hidden Cloud Village has suffered no losses at all. Isn't that very unfair?"
