"sigh, it is a long story. My Jinchuriki, after much hardship, only today became enlightened. He took the initiative to propose leaving Kumo, that place that eats people alive." The Eight Tails, Gyuki, said helplessly.
"A place that eats people alive? What happened?" The voice of the Six Tails, Saiken, came through. It was somewhat curious about how the Eight Tails and its Jinchuriki had lived all these years, and why he would call that place a place that eats people alive.
The other Tailed Beasts remained silent. Even though they were also curious about what the Eight Tails had experienced, they would not take the initiative to ask. Because all Tailed Beasts lived difficult lives, so only if the Eight Tails was willing to talk would they listen carefully.
The One Tail, Shukaku, sneered, "The life of a Tailed Beast, sealed within a Jinchuriki, is destined to be hard. Of course, I am not talking about now. Right now, that guy Ryun is very considerate of our feelings as Tailed Beasts."
The other Tailed Beasts agreed in their hearts. The Eight Tails pondered for a moment, then recounted Killer B's actions and the treatment he received in Kumo. Kurama narrowed his eyes. Tch, Kumo really had no shame.
The One Tail curled its lips, "I say, Eight Tails, you should not have coexisted with that guy called Killer B. This kid is too stupid, being used like that and still smiling at them."
Kurama looked at Killer B, "Gyuki, this guy, is he the host you chose? After hearing your story, even though he seems a bit slow, he values loyalty and friendship just like you."
"Kurama understands me. If it were not for Killer B's strong sense of loyalty and friendship, which suits my temper, I would have found a way to break the seal and leave Kumo long ago." The Eight Tails, Gyuki, sighed.
"It is fine, it is all in the past now, Gyuki. Now that you have come to Konoha, good days are ahead. Although Ryun will not allow our true bodies to appear, he does allow us to manifest in miniature form."
"You can eat lots of delicious food, play with lots of fun things." As he spoke, Shukaku transformed into little Shukaku within the mental space. Everyone couldn't help but twitch their mouths, but what Shukaku said was true.
"On this point, Shukaku is right. The food in Konoha is quite good." Kurama nodded.
"I just do not know if Ryun will welcome us. After all, B is a shinobi from Kumo." Gyuki sighed. "Kumo has previously formed quite a bit of enmity with Konoha."
"Rest assured. That person, Ryun, has great ambitions and excellent strategies hidden within. He has a mind that contains the universe and the will to swallow heaven and earth. He will use every usable force for Konoha's benefit." The Six Tails, Saiken, felt this most deeply because its Jinchuriki was Tsunade, who had the most contact with Ryun normally.
Although reluctant to admit it, Shukaku also nodded, "That is right. I admit that guy Ryun is outstanding, even more outstanding than the old man. If he and the old man were from the same era and starting from the same point, the old man could not defeat him."
Kurama fell silent. He had witnessed Ryun's Susanoo cloaking the Buddha, directly overturning Hashirama Senju. That was eight years ago. What level his strength had reached now, he did not know, but he understood that for someone like Ryun, his strength improved every day.
The Four Tails, Son Gokū, also seemed to remember those scenes from back then. He nodded. The Three Tails said that Ryun was his savior, who rescued him from the Third Mizukage. Although he was given to Maruboshi Kosuke, he also knew there was no other way.
Furthermore, in Konoha, with Uzumaki Mito and the Uzumaki clan present, their sealing techniques were so powerful that the Tailed Beasts could not easily shake them. Therefore, they could only obediently accept their fate. However, after accepting it, they discovered that life was not just about the immediate drudgery, but also about good food and fun.
Gradually, all the Tailed Beasts reduced their hatred towards humans significantly. They began to coexist with their Jinchuriki and provided them with natural chakra to help them train.
Like Pakura now, a stable Kage level powerhouse, half step beyond Kage level, completely different from before. Her Scorch Release was now purer, more intense. When her Steam Danger technique was unleashed, it was like a sun rushing towards the enemy, directly melting iron kunai and ninja swords in hand into molten iron.
Maruboshi Kosuke, although still a Genin, his strength had also reached half step beyond Kage level. Due to the Three Tails' cooperation, his Water Release techniques were often like a great sea. Summoning Water Release in places without water was even larger and more sustained than Tobirama Senju's.
Tsunade goes without saying. Her physique grew stronger every day. And because of Saiken's chakra and special skills, she could deal with Konoha's injured shinobi more calmly, her medical skills became more superb, and her combat power allowed her to fight Ryun for five or six hours. (Do not overthink it.)
Danzo is currently the number one user of Wind Release. Due to his long term coexistence with Shukaku, who taught him natural chakra training methods, application methods, the essence of Wind Release ninjutsu, and how to increase the range and power of Wind Release ninjutsu.
Therefore, Danzo's strength reached the level beyond Kage. He even fought Hiruzen Sarutobi before. Hiruzen was forced to use his Five Release Great Combo technique, but Danzo just used one Wind Release, Vacuum Wave, to cut the great combo in half, dissipating it in the air.
At that time, Danzo looked at his bent over, panting old friend and said with a smile, "Hiruzen, you lost again."
"Pant... pant... pant... Danzo, I really envy you. You gained Ryun's favor, he gave you a Tailed Beast, and you seem to get along well with it?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
"Yes, I am also very fortunate to have gained the Hokage's favor. As for my relationship with the Tailed Beast." After Danzo finished speaking, he smiled. Then wind and sand gathered, and little Shukaku appeared on Danzo's shoulder.
"My relationship with little Shukaku is like father and son." Danzo said cheerfully. As a result, little Shukaku became so angry he fumed, "Stupid Danzo, it is brothers, brothers. What father son relationship."
Seeing his old friend's warm, sunny smile, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned. It seemed he had not seen it for a long time. Then he shook his head and smiled wryly, "Knowing you are doing well makes me very happy. Congratulations, my friend, you finally defeated me."
Danzo nodded, "Yes, old friend, I defeated you. That also means my burden is heavier. I will use this power to protect Konoha, to protect the villagers."
After saying that, Danzo left. Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was complicated, he began to feel guilty. His original intention was for Danzo to be his black glove, operating from behind the scenes. But what about Ryun? Not only did he give him Shukaku, but he also pushed him to the forefront, not worrying at all that Danzo would seize power or that his achievements would overshadow the lord.
If Ryun knew his thoughts, he might laugh. "Achievements overshadowing the lord? Who the hell has achievements surpassing mine? I ended two Shinobi World Wars, two. I beat the other four nations until they fled helter skelter. The development funds for Konoha, I, brought people together to gather them bit by bit. The Tailed Beasts in Konoha, I, retrieved them one by one."
Indeed, the concept of achievements overshadowing the lord does not apply to Ryun, because his contributions are unmatched and unequaled. Perhaps precisely because of this, he dares to employ everyone.
As for the Two Tails, she was still behind the scenes and had not joined this chat. Because Yugito and Nawaki were currently frantically checking the accounts. The amount of money was simply too much. Yugito and Nawaki had never seen so much money in their lives.
Matatabi was even summoned by Yugito, taking the form of a miniature Tailed Beast entity, and then together with Yugito and Nawaki, they calculated the accounts. The Two Tails had no time to chat with the other Tailed Beasts through the mental connection.
"Hey, by the way, what about Matatabi? Why hasn't she shown up?" The Eight Tails, Gyuki, was puzzled. Hadn't Yugito come to Konoha long ago? Why was there no sound from her today?
The Tailed Beasts were all holding back their laughter. In the end, Kurama, with the highest tolerance for humor, curled his lips upwards, "Her? Right now, she is busy with Yugito and Nawaki checking tonight's accounts."
"Checking accounts? Nawaki? Is that Senju Nawaki? How did those two get together?" Gyuki was confused.
"Heh, perhaps feelings developed over time, perhaps an older sister taking care of a younger brother. Who knows?" Kurama laughed.
Gyuki gasped. Yugito would actually fall for a man? He still remembered during one mission, she cut off the lower parts of all the men who had lustful thoughts about her. Her cat claws pierced both kidneys, not causing immediate death, but letting them die slowly in pain and struggle.
It could be said to be the height of twisted taste. She hated men to death, so how could she now be hanging out with this Senju Nawaki?
One can only say fate is wonderfully unpredictable.
"Alright, Gyuki, do not think about it too much for now. Ryun's main body is about to talk to your Jinchuriki. Let us all listen carefully." Kurama was the strongest and the most shrewd. His words were tacitly accepted as the will of all the Tailed Beasts.
Everyone stopped communicating and looked at Ryun and Killer B.
"Oh, Killer B has arrived." Ryun handed the sleeping Ju to Tsunade, picked up a wine glass and took a sip, smiling.
"The former Kumo's Killer Bee, Killer B, pays his respects to the Hokage." Killer B bowed. The harm he had caused Konoha was minimal, because he was often assigned to guard the village, so he had fewer fights with Konoha shinobi.
"Former Kumo's Killer Bee? Killer B, what happened?" Ryun put down his wine glass, looking at the bowing Killer B before him.
Killer B's heart sank. For some reason, when truly facing Ryun, he realized his presence was completely overwhelmed. This feeling was countless times stronger than when the Third Raikage spoke to him.
"I plan to leave Kumo. I hope the Hokage will take me in. Everyone in the shinobi world knows Konoha has the most Jinchuriki, and they can all coexist harmoniously. So I want to see what kind of life the Jinchuriki in Konoha are living." Killer B's words were also straightforward. He did not beat around the bush, but looked at Ryun with shining eyes.
Ryun was slightly startled, then he nodded, "Since that is the case, fine. I will give you this opportunity to observe. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I do not need your answer to join Konoha right now. After one year, if you think this place is not bad, then stay."
"If you think it is not good, you can also leave. A forced melon is not sweet." Ryun murmured.
"Yes." Killer B now looked at Ryun, wanting to see if he was pretending. But he found Ryun looked completely calm and unruffled, watching the talent performances of the Konoha people on the stage.
It seemed Ryun did not care at all about the benefits his being a Jinchuriki could bring to Konoha. Perhaps for him, his strength was sufficient to deal with everything.
