Chapter 293 Let's celebrate! The first tailed beast is born!

The leader of Takigakure, who had been betrayed, naturally could not answer his questions. After slaughtering all the high-ranking officials present, Kakuzu found the secret room where Takigakure hid the treasures.

However, he was disappointed to find that the treasure house was empty. The family property accumulated by the village for many years disappeared, leaving only an old scroll and a golden card.

"Damn it, where did you hide my money!"

Kakuzu didn't know that the village really had no surplus food. In order to buy the Seven-Tails from the first Tsuchikage, he had already spent all the wealth accumulated by Takigakure for many years and his private money.

"Quick! Kakuzu is over there!"

Covered in blood, Kakuzu heard the rustling footsteps around him and knew that he could not escape, so he made up his mind and tied the only scroll left in the secret room to his waist. His eyes stayed on the golden card for a moment.

At this moment, Kakuzu, whose consciousness was already a little blurred, seemed to be inspired by something. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and held the card in his hand.

The card felt cold in his hand. Before he had time to check the content of the card, hundreds of Taki ninjas had surrounded him. After the previous battle, Kakuzu was already exhausted. Facing the siege of his former colleagues, he shook his head bitterly.

Just when he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, the mysterious card in his hand suddenly burst out with a burst of burning energy, which instantly poured into Kakuzu's dry body. He was already weak, but under the nourishment of this chakra, he was revived with full blood.

"Kill him and avenge the leader!"

"Hmph! He sold me that broken kunai that can't even kill a rabbit!"

"Whoever catches Kakuzu will be the next leader!"

Someone shouted, and the Takinins stared at Kakuzu standing there with red eyes, and their dirty desires swelled in their hearts.

"Traitor Kakuzu, why don't you surrender!"

"Hehe, no one loves Takinin Village more than me, you are the traitors!"

Kakuzu, whose chakra was restored by an unknown force, had no time to think about the reason. His cold eyes looked around at his former colleagues who were blushing, and his disdainful voice was like a spark that ignited a barrel of explosives.

In the blink of an eye, countless escape techniques were already rushing towards him.

"Earth escape·Earth flow wall!"

Clapping his hands on the ground, Kakuzu released a wall of earth several meters thick. While resisting the first wave of attacks, he analyzed where to escape. However, he found in despair that he was surrounded and had nowhere to escape except the waterfall behind him.

"Let's fight, at worst I'll die!"

Knowing that he had no chance of survival, Kakuzu laughed loudly and jumped down from the waterfall behind him.

"What should I do? He jumped into the forbidden area."

"Chase him! We can't let him go!"

"But the leader said that no one is allowed to trespass in the forbidden area."

"The leader is dead. Whoever catches Kakuzu now will be the new leader."

Several Taki ninjas with the strength of elite captains finally couldn't resist the temptation of power, and followed Kakuzu's steps and jumped down one by one.

Listening to the noisy noises in his ears, Chongming, who was dozing, slowly opened his eyes. The insect face wrapped in armor could not see any expression, but it had obviously sensed a strange emotion before, which was very familiar.

Kakuzu was betrayed by everyone in the village, and the emotions he felt just happened to resonate with Nanao, who had experienced similar things.

"He was betrayed too."

The Takinin behind him was still chasing him, and Kakuzu, who fell into the forbidden area of ​​Takinin Village, felt even more desperate.

"Give up resistance, Kakuzu, the leader is dead, maybe we will spare your life~"

The Takinin who followed closely tried to use verbal offensive to force Kakuzu to surrender.

"Hmph!"

No three-year-old would believe such words, and Kakuzu directly raised his hand and threw several kunai, making a final resistance.

"Fire Style: Fire"

"Stop! Idiot, this is a forbidden area!"

An irritable Taki Ninja was about to use Fire Style to kill Kakuzu, but was stopped by his companion.

"What's wrong with the forbidden area? The leader is dead, so the rules are invalid."

"Idiot, the beast is still in the forbidden area!"

After being reminded by his companion, Taki Ninja, who was just overwhelmed by desire, immediately broke out in a cold sweat. As a member who had carried the Seven-Tails, he knew the horror of the beast.

"What should we do? If we go further, we will reach the territory of the beast."

"It doesn't matter. There is only one exit here. Unless he wants to feed the beast, he can only surrender to us."

There is only one exit in the forbidden area, and there are smooth cliffs on all sides. The Taki Ninjas who were surrounding him were relieved and watched Kakuzu fight a desperate battle from a distance.

"Huh~ You're not chasing us anymore?"

Seeing the Takinin stop, Kakuzu breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. As a high-level fighter in the Takinin Village, he also knew that there were divine beasts in the forbidden area. It seemed that those who wanted to capture him were afraid to take action, so they didn't dare to move forward.

"Gurgle~"

The relaxed Kakuzu's body softened and he sat on the ground. His stomach also made a gurgling sound. He searched up and down and found that he had no supplies except the scroll on his waist.

If he continued to waste time like this, he would only die.

"Kakuzu, surrender quickly! We have decided not to kill you!"

After half a day, the Takinin were a little impatient, so they persuaded him to surrender loudly,

"Do you think I will believe in you traitors again?"

"Damn it, don't worry about the divine beast, just catch him first!"

The stubborn attitude of resistance finally annoyed Taki Ren who had been waiting so hard. Everyone took out their cold weapons in a tacit understanding and wanted to capture Kakuzu with the smallest possible noise.

"Haha, even if I die, I won't let you get what you want!"

Due to excessive blood loss and mental fatigue, Kakuzu no longer had the strength to resist at this moment. Looking at Taki-nin who was slowly approaching him, he laughed miserably, dragged his remaining body and ran towards the depths of the forbidden area.

"Hurry up!"

This action frightened the Taki ninjas, but they couldn't watch the cooked duck fly away. As long as they caught Kakuzu, they would be qualified to serve as the new leader, so everyone gritted their teeth and ran after him.

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

The weak Kakuzu was not very fast, and it didn't take long for him to be caught up by Taki-nin.

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft~"

In the dark night, a swiftly fired kunai hit Kakuzu in the back of his heart. The powerful impact knocked him away several meters, and he lay motionless on the ground.

"I lost it!"

One Taki-nin exclaimed that if Kakuzu was captured for this, he would have a chance to become the leader,

"Ahem. What a good luck."

However, the Taki ninja had not been proud for a long time. The corner that should have been stabbed by the kunai slowly got up. He pulled out the kunai from his back with his backhand and looked at it carefully. There were traces of polishing, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

That's right, this kunai is a refurbished item he sold. It can't even kill a rabbit, let alone a grown man.

"Zhao! Profiteer, give me your money back!"

Taki-nin, who also discovered this scene, shouted angrily at Kakuzu,

"Hmph~ Kakuto's exquisite products, once sold, cannot be returned or exchanged!"

Kakuzu snorted coldly, and even when he was about to die, he kept the kunai carefully and kept running towards the depths.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Taking advantage of this gap, several Taki-nins with good physical skills have caught up with Kakuzu and surrounded him. The ferocious-looking Taki-nins waved the sharp blades in their hands and pressed forward step by step.

"Kakuzu, you choose between being captured without mercy or dying on the spot!"

"Hmph! I choose. You die!"

Even at the last moment, Kakuzu did not choose to compromise. He took out the kunai he had just captured with his backhand and faced it.

"bite!"

The kunai and the long knife collided in the dark night, sparks bursting out,

"Bang!!!"

At first, Kakuzu, whose strength had broken through the bottleneck, fought back and forth with the people surrounding him. However, before his injuries were completely healed, the opponent found a flaw, and the kunai in his hand was directly knocked out, and his whole body was also blown away. Knocked away a long way.

"Are you going to die?"

Lying on the ground, Kakuzu's memories of the first half of his life were playing like a lantern. When he was young, his parents, who had no money for medical treatment, both died of illness due to poverty at home. This made him realize that all worldly things are futile, and only money will last.

"Suffer death!"

Seeing Kakuzu giving up resistance, the Taki ninjas who had been cooperating just now looked at each other secretly, and the speed of their feet suddenly became faster. The swords in their hands all slashed at Kakuzu on the ground.

"roar!!!"

Suddenly, a thundering roar sounded out of thin air, and all the Taki-nin who took action froze at the same time, and the swords in their hands stopped just before they struck Kakuzu.

"It's a mythical beast!"

The moonlight above their heads was obscured by a huge shadow. Several people in cold sweat raised their heads and spoke with trembling voices.

"escape!"

Facing Nanao, the few of them couldn't resist at all. At this moment, they just hated their parents for not giving them two more legs and ran away without looking back.

As for Kakuzu, nothing is as important as his own life.

"Why are you back? Where is Kakuzu?"

Many Taki-nin were waiting outside the forbidden area. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of several elite captain-level people, they all asked curiously,

"Quickly go! The mythical beast is out!"

"Na Kakuto"

"Kakuzu? Most likely it has been eaten by the mythical beast!"

The few people who narrowly escaped death panted and looked at the waterfall at their feet, with the horror in their eyes that could not fade away.

"Boom!!!"

Just when they thought the storm was over, a huge figure rushed out from the waterfall, causing water to fill the sky.

"Run away!!"

I don't know who shouted, and hundreds of Taki-nin fled in all directions like wild donkeys, fearing that if they took a step too slow, they would become food for the mythical beast.

"Look! It's Kakuzu!"

Some brave Taki-nin glanced back while running, and their sharp eyes discovered that behind Nanao, there was an unconscious black-haired young man, who was the rebel ninja Kakuzu they had been hunting for a long time.

"How is that possible?"

After hearing this, the Taki-nin turned around to confirm, but Nanao had already spread its wings and disappeared into the vast night sky.

"Master Divine Beast, why are you in this card?"

On the top of the mountain, Kakuzu, who had regained his energy, carefully held the card in his hand and asked aloud,

"Human, you have a lot of problems."

In fact, Nanao was also a little confused. He just felt that the experience of the human before him was similar to his own before. He was betrayed by his brother, so he took action to save his life.

But who could have imagined that, just when Nanao was about to leave Kakuzu, whose life and death were unknown, and go out for a walk, it was suddenly attracted by the aura conveyed by the shining golden card.

Under doubt, Nanao tried to touch the aura. Unexpectedly, it was better not to make contact. As soon as it came into contact with the strange aura, it was firmly clamped by the huge suction coming from the card.

Without waiting for a struggle, Nanao's huge body turned into a golden light in the next second and was sucked into the card.

"Damn it, is it that human's method?"

Unable to escape from the card, Nanao looked at the empty environment around it and frowned. In its opinion, the only person who could do such a thing was the descendant of Indra who could freely use the Six-Way Old Man Pickled Cabbage Jar. .

"Master Divine Beast, how are we going to get down now?"

After calling several times, and seeing that Nanao didn't answer his previous question, Kakuzu didn't dare to ask any more questions. He stood on the cliff and looked down. All he could see was the cliff. In despair, he tentatively asked,

"Fly down."

Nanao, who suddenly lost her freedom, heard Kakuzu's question and replied angrily,

"But...I don't have wings like you, the mythical beast."

After scratching his head, Kakudu sat on the edge of the cliff dejectedly, his heart filled with sadness.

"I didn't expect that the first one to succeed would be you~"

Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded behind Kakuzu, making him tremble and almost jump off the cliff.

"Who?!"

Kakuzu leaned against a huge rock with his back warily, his eyes searching for the person who was speaking. If he could touch behind him quietly, the strength of the other party should not be underestimated.

"Nanabi, is this the person you chose?"

The sound sounded again, and Jiaodu raised his head in surprise when he discovered the source of the sound. Just on the rock he was leaning on, a figure wearing strange armor was leisurely crossing his legs, with a thick tone in his tone. The playful look.

"Who are you?"

After taking a few steps back to distance himself, Kakuzu subconsciously hid Nanao's card behind his back and stared at the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him, guessing his purpose.

Hey~ Doesn’t this trigger the keyword?

"I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by~"

Uchiha Gin, who transformed again using the sword, spoke the classic lines very effectively, and looked at Kakuzu with a more appreciative look.

This guy is very knowledgeable!

"Kamen Rider?"

Kakuzu, who aspired to become a bounty hunter, quickly searched for this title in his mind, but found nothing. For unknown enemies, he became more vigilant, and his eyes moved around, looking for opportunities to take action.

"Your eyes are dangerous."

Uchiha Gin shrugged, stretched out his hand and shook it. The next moment, a golden card appeared in his hand.

"Ah! When did you take it away?"

Kakuzu, who was on full alert, saw the card that suddenly appeared in the hand of the mysterious man who called himself Kamen Rider. He subconsciously squeezed his hidden hand, and only then did he realize that the card that sealed the sacred beast was actually Gone missing.

"Don't worry, I'm just checking it for you."

The smiling Uchiha Gin infiltrated his chakra into the card and communicated with the furious Nanao inside.

"It's you! Is this your fault?"

In the card space, Nanao roared angrily, while Uchiha Gin, standing in front of it, picked his ears with a calm expression.

"Isn't it quite nice here? It's spacious and comfortable. You should really like it here, right?"

The tailed beast cards that Uchiha Gin sent out before were not just small cards used to introduce tailed beast information.

The card itself was made from fragments of amber bottles mixed with the tailed beast's original chakra. After completion, Uchiha Gin added several four-image seals that specifically sealed the tailed beast.

As long as the tailed beast is defeated by the card holder, the tailed beast will be sealed by the sealing technique triggered by the card, and the card holder can forcibly use the power of the tailed beast.

But more than that, Uchiha Gin had previously taken advantage of Uchiha Hikari's hints to secretly add some material to the tailed beast's subconscious.

Once the tailed beast recognizes the card holder and the emotions of both parties reach a certain level of resonance, the tailed beast will subconsciously trigger the sealing technique and enter the card. However, in this case, the card holder cannot use the tailed beast. power unless the tailed beast is willing.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Nanao knew that Uchiha Gin's strength was unpredictable, and his tone was a little better than before.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little bored and want to play a game~"

Seeing that Nanao's attitude had improved, Uchiha Gin immediately waved his hand, and a chair appeared out of thin air on the ground. After he sat on it, he touched his chin and thought for a while, then said,

"game?"

"That's right, a battle involving nine tailed beasts. Didn't you lose before? Don't you want to win back?"

Uchiha Gin crossed his hands, and his eyes hidden under the mask showed a strong teasing color that Nanao could sense.

"I don't want to participate."

You want me to be beaten again, I'm just a caterpillar!

"It's not up to you."

Eat or be eaten.

Those who become knights will bear the fate of being unable to escape from battle.

"You can now lend your strength to the boy outside. Since you can choose him, it means that the compatibility between you is not bad. Train him well and don't get killed by other tailed beast knights~"

It has become stuck. If you still want to escape, go and explain to Odin~

"I can accept that, but before that, I have a question for you."

After listening to Uchiha Gin's words, Nanao pondered for a while and then replied slowly,

"Oh? Just ask~"

"Who are you, and why do you smell not only of the old man, but also of his pervert brother?"

"Haha, if you win the game, I will answer you, remember to keep it secret~"

Although Uchiha Gin said a lot of words to Nanao Luo in the card, in reality it was only a moment.

"Release the sacred beast!"

The angry Kakuzu happened to catch Uchiha's momentary absence, and punched up, trying to take Nanao back.

"Crack!"

For the new knight, Uchiha Gin gave him a loving slap, sending Kakuzu flying several meters away.

"hateful!"

Holding his red and swollen cheeks, Kakuzu was furious, quickly forming seals with his hands, and burning chakra was accumulating in his mouth, but Uchiha Gin did not panic at all, flicking his finger and flying Nanao's card.

"Ahem."

Seeing the card flying towards him, Kakuzu was so frightened that he quickly swallowed the flames in his mouth, coughed twice, and reached out to catch Nanao's card.

"And this!"

I saw Uchiha Gin not far away, throwing something over again. After subconsciously catching it, Kakuzu looked at the gray box in his hand doubtfully, not knowing what it was for.

"Boy, don't die easily, I'm keeping an eye on you~"

Uchiha Gin's voice came again. After returning to his senses, Kakuzu quickly looked up, only to find that there was no one on the top of the mountain. If it weren't for the strange gray box in his hand, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

"Lord Divine Beast!"

The excited Kakuzu shouted at the recovered tailed beast card,

"Keep your voice down. If you want to communicate with me, you don't have to speak."

Floating in the card space, Nanao recalled what Uchiha Gin had just said, and his cold eyes slowly ignited with a raging fighting spirit.

It was the Seven-Tails, and it had lost to that bastard of the Three-Tails before. This game just gave me a chance for revenge!

And the Kyuubi who stabbed him in the back and betrayed everyone in the end, he must trample on his opponent this time!

"Human, what's your name?"

"Back to the beast-sama, the younger one's name is Kakuzu."

Unexpectedly, the beast-sama would actually ask for his name. Kakuzu, who was greatly honored, immediately replied truthfully,

"Kakuzu, what is your dream?"

"ha?"

"My temporary dream is to survive and then take revenge on those who betrayed me!"

There is still money, and I want to get it back!

"If you want to live, transform!"

"Transformation?"

Kakuzu was confused;

"The box that person gave you before is the transformer. Tie it around your waist."

According to the transformation guide left by Uchiha Gin, Nanao patiently taught him step by step,

"Then, stick me in."

"Do you really want to insert it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Deciding to listen to the words of the savior, the Divine Beast, Kakuzu put one hand on the transformer at his waist, and slowly inserted the Seven-Tails card into the slot on the side of the box with his right hand.

"Chongming! Nanao Chongming! The invincible beetle!"

As the card was inserted, the transformer around his waist actually emitted bursts of electronically synthesized sound effects. Listening to the transformer chanting his real name, the Nanao in the card wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

This is so shameful. Can this thing be muted?

But as a transformer, Kakuzu didn't feel embarrassed at all. Despite this, he felt a surge of blood boiling. Then he looked forward, his eyes condensed, the hand holding the transformer pushed forward, and he subconsciously shouted road,

"henshin!"

"Turn Up!"

Shadow Realm

"Pa bang bang~"

Uchiha Gin, who applauded in celebration, did not leave just now, but slipped into the Shadow Realm to watch the birth of the first tailed beast.

"That's right! Is this the knight transformed by the person chosen by the tailed beast?"

Looking at the armored knight outside who was covered in silver-white armor and had a short blade on his waist, he almost grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.

"I thought it would turn into a red one-pointed-to-the-earth posture, but I didn't expect that it would turn out to be a hard-working worker~" (End of Chapter)
