Chapter 212

Plus some strange and unusual abilities.

Even in ancient times, those mighty ones,

Few could be mentioned in the same breath as Hashirama Senju.

"Relax, I keep my word."

"As long as you don't cause trouble in the Land of Fire, I won't interfere much."

"After all, your power is still terrifying to ordinary people."

"If someone from another nation controls you and uses you to attack the Land of Fire… that would indeed be a headache for me, 'Shi Ba Qi'."

"So as long as you stay quietly in the Land of Fire, that's enough."

"The human world still has many new things—surely you haven't experienced much of it yet. I can let Shukaku accompany you to explore."

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju say this,

The Nine-Tailed Fox's massive beast eyes flickered with delight.

Although he disliked humans,

Believing them to be deceitful and hypocritical creatures,

He could not deny,

That many things invented by humans were indeed fascinating.

But how could the proud Nine-Tailed Fox admit such a thing?

He lifted his head,

Letting out a dismissive snort.

"Hmph! Since you say so."

"Then this great lord will reluctantly agree."

"But… is Shukaku also in the Land of Fire?"

In the Nine-Tails' memory,

Shukaku should have been in the distant Land of Wind,

So how did he end up in the Land of Fire?

"Hmm, he was accidentally captured and brought to the Land of Fire."

"Seeing the environment here was decent, he just decided to settle down."

Hearing Hashirama Senju say this,

The Nine-Tails couldn't help but nearly roll his eyes.

It wasn't because he liked the Land of Fire's environment—he probably got forcibly kept here, didn't he?!

But then again, since one Tailed Beast was already left behind in the Land of Fire,

Him being kept here by Hashirama Senju wasn't so hard to accept!!

Although the Nine-Tails didn't particularly like Shukaku,

Thinking that Shukaku shared the same fate,

He felt a little more at ease inside.

But thinking that the time would come and share the same fate as himself,

Seeing the small red fox lying beneath Hashirama Senju's feet,

The clan leaders of every major family

Could not suppress a flicker of shock in their eyes!!

Is this the legendary strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tailed Fox?

If one only looked at its size and posture,

Several clan leaders could never link it to the Nine-Tails.

But in their perception,

No matter how hard the several clan heads tried, they could not connect him with the Nine-Tails.

This must be the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox!!

That abyss-like aura,

The unparalleled chakra quantity,

No ordinary creature could possibly give them this feeling!!

If Hashirama Senju weren't here,

They might have bolted the moment they saw it!!

Yet even this mighty Nine-Tailed Fox,

Now lay beneath Hashirama Senju's feet like a well-behaved kitten.

The Nine-Tails shot a disgruntled glance at the clan leaders,

Deeply resenting the constant stares fixed upon him!!

But he knew,

He could not strike these people,

So he pretended he saw nothing at all.

He deeply despised them!!

But he also knew,

he could not act against these people,

so he could only pretend he had seen nothing at all!

Nara Saki touched her nose,

lowered her head,

to hide her inner shock.

Although he had long known Hashirama Senju's strength was immense,

he had seen Shukaku before him,

but the power gap between Shukaku and the Nine-Tailed Fox,

was probably as vast as the gap between an ordinary ninja of the clan and them!!!

Yet even so,

the Nine-Tailed Fox was still effortlessly brought back by Hashirama Senju!!

From the dark, ominous aura emanating from the Nine-Tailed Fox,

Nara Saki knew,

that the seemingly docile fox before him was no benevolent creature.

The reason he appeared so well-behaved now,

was only because Hashirama Senju's strength was overwhelming,

forcing him to dare not act rashly.

Once Hashirama Senju was gone,

he feared that all of them would be nothing more than ants easily crushed underfoot in his eyes!!

When the Nine-Tailed Fox saw the Nine-Tailed Fox,

he too was filled with shock,

never expecting that even the Nine-Tailed Fox had been captured by Hashirama Senju!!

On one hand, he was delighted that the Nine-Tailed Fox had been brought here,

sharing the same fate as himself!!

On the other hand,

he was deeply worried about his future status.

Although Shukaku spoke boastfully,

he knew well,

that the power gap between himself and the Nine-Tailed Fox was too great,

their strengths existed on entirely different levels.

Did this mean he would be bullied by the Nine-Tailed Fox every single day from now on?
