315. Chapter 310: Nine-Tails, You Have Already Become a Cute Female Fox

After experiencing the rampage incident two years ago, Jin Jiao, concerned for his younger brother's safety, chose to stake everything on a challenge against the Eight-Tails in the village. After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, he ultimately defeated Gyuki with a slight advantage and sealed it into a Tailed Beast Card.

Since then, the two brothers, in order to further master the tyrannical power of the Tailed Beasts, began an indefinite period of intensive training in the Cloud-Thunder Gorge within the Hidden Cloud Village.

Not long ago, the Hidden Cloud Village learned that a ferocious beast had suddenly appeared within the borders of the Land of Lightning. Wherever it went, not a blade of grass grew; countless towns were destroyed, and none of the ninjas sent to drive it away or subdue it survived.

Upon receiving the intelligence, the Raikage immediately notified the Jin Jiao brothers, who were in seclusion, and entrusted the task of subduing the rampaging beast to them.

"This is a ferocious beast, very likely the Nine-Tails released by Konoha previously. Are you two confident?"

In the Raikage's office, the First Raikage, who was already showing signs of age, looked at the muscular brothers with his tiger-like eyes slightly narrowed and spoke the intelligence he had received in a low voice.

"Hmph! A mere masterless Tailed Beast is no match for us brothers."

Having skillfully mastered the Knight's power, Jin Jiao was brimming with confidence and didn't take the Nine-Tails seriously at all. He had previously taken down the Eight-Tails relying solely on his own strength; now that he possessed the power of the Eight-Tails, why would he fear a free-roaming Nine-Tails?

"I think Big Brother is right."

Yin Jiao stood to the side, playing the role of a competent straight man.

"Sigh... Regardless, be very careful. If you cannot defeat it, just retreat."

The First Raikage rubbed his swollen temples helplessly. In recent years, the Yin-Jin brothers had become increasingly ignorant of the word "humility." If they were too stubborn and something went wrong, how would he answer to the Gin brothers?

"Let the Shadow Guard go with you!"

Standing beside the First Raikage, young A, flipping through the documents in his hand, felt uneasy and decided to send more people with Jin Jiao and the others to provide support.

"Don't underestimate us. I only need to bring my own subordinates. Once we capture the Nine-Tails, shouldn't it be our turn to sit in the position of the Second Raikage?"

Jin Jiao turned his head to look at young A, a flash of sharpness in his eyes. Ever since he obtained the power of the Tailed Beast Knight, he suddenly felt he could do it again, and immediately set his sights on the position of the Second Raikage, which had already been earmarked for young A.

This time, he would use his strength to prove that the two brothers were the best candidates for the Second Raikage.

"You guys..."

Young A was caught between laughter and tears. He had watched the Yin-Jin brothers grow up; although there was no title of master and apprentice, the reality of it existed. Therefore, he felt no anger at Jin Jiao's rebellious statement.

"Your qualifications are still shallow. If you want to be Raikage, you still need a few more years."

The First Raikage just shook his head slightly. The personalities of the Yin-Jin brothers were too unruly and needed to be tempered well before they could be entrusted with important tasks.

"Qualifications? We can't even fight a war now, where would the qualifications come from! Relying on grinding missions, how long will this take?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned qualifications; as soon as he did, Jin Jiao was furious. Their Hagoromo clan had been nearly wiped out by the Senju brothers, and after enduring humiliation in the Land of Lightning for so many years, they had finally honed their strength to the point where they thought they could take revenge.

As a result, the world was suddenly at peace, and it was achieved under the advocacy of Senju Hashirama, whom he hated most. How could this not make the Yin-Jin brothers furious?

"Alright, go do the mission first. If you succeed, I will consider promoting you two to the position of Raikage candidates."

Feeling somewhat weary, the First Raikage had to stall for time, indicating that the Yin-Jin brothers should first capture the Nine-Tails as a token of their loyalty.

"It's a deal!"

The simple-minded Jin Jiao received the Raikage's promise and was instantly full of energy. He turned and left with his younger brother, heading off to gather men without looking back.

"Raikage-sama, is it really okay to lie to them like this?"

Standing beside the First Raikage, young A looked at the appointment document spread out on the Raikage's desk and asked with a wry smile.

"I only said I would promote them to the position of Raikage candidates, but I didn't say which generation it would be~"

The First Raikage squeezed his eyes awkwardly and signed his name on the appointment document in front of him.

"Sigh... Starting tomorrow, this position will be handed over to you, A."

After signing, the First Raikage let out a long sigh of relief. He was already nearly sixty years old, and the hidden injuries left from developing the Lightning Armor technique in his early years had tortured his body. Now, he could no longer support the name of Raikage.

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

Young A—no, he should be called the Second Raikage now—had a faint glimmer in his eyes as he looked at the somewhat hunched First Raikage, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Since his debut, the Second Raikage had always followed the First Raikage, witnessing his rise step by step, and in the Land of Lightning where the strong were numerous, he had fought to build the Hidden Cloud Village with a pair of iron fists.

"Finally, I can relax a bit. Little A, can I still get reimbursed for my foot-washing receipts in the future?"

Thinking he had completely retired, the First Raikage stood up with a smile, patted the Second Raikage's broad shoulders, and asked in a low voice.

"Sigh... If you leave the system, I'm afraid you won't be able to get reimbursed."

The Second Raikage, who would not easily let go of the First Raikage, a valuable labor force, immediately showed a look of difficulty.

"I remember it wasn't like this?"

The First Raikage frowned, looking up and down at the seemingly honest Second Raikage with suspicious eyes.

"It was changed a while ago, and you were the one who signed it. However..."

"However what?"

"If you continue to serve as an advisor, it's not impossible to get reimbursed."

The Second Raikage revealed his true colors, catching the First Raikage off guard.

"You brat..."

The old man, realizing he had been played, pointed at the culprit with trembling fingers, almost unleashing a Lightning Neck-Chop.

What happened to the promised retirement and health regimen? He had even bought the annual pass!

"Hehe~"

Although heroes always have their twilight, even if he couldn't give the First Raikage a decent exit, retreating to the second line to teach newcomers was not a bad thing.

Does anyone really think that dying in battle is the best destination for a Kage?

Retirement has been delayed, you old guys, hurry up and contribute your remaining heat!

"Big Brother, do you think Old Man A was telling the truth?"

Yin Jiao, running behind Jin Jiao, couldn't help but ask his brother on the way to capture the Nine-Tails.

"Whether it's true or false, as long as we can capture the Nine-Tails, everyone in the village will look at us with respect. When we gain power, the false will become true."

Jin Jiao answered without looking back. In his view, only by making everyone in the village recognize the strength of the two brothers could he sit securely in the position of Raikage.

"My lord! The Nine-Tails is here!"

Just as the Yin-Jin brothers were envisioning the future, a terrified Black Prison Da in front of them waved at them vigorously.

After landing beside him with his men, Jin Jiao smelled the mixture of blood and barbecue in the air, frowned immediately, and scolded,

"You are here to execute a mission, not to have an outdoor BBQ! Hurry up and call the others over!"

The only surviving Black Prison Da was trembling with fear, pointing at the canyon behind him, and said in a shaky voice,

"Jin... Jin Jiao-sama... the others... were all... eaten by the Nine-Tails after being roasted..."

"Nani!"

Hearing this, Jin Jiao's tiger-like eyes widened. In disbelief, he grabbed the ashen-faced Black Prison Da and asked coldly,

"They are the most elite squad of the Hidden Cloud, how could they be wiped out?"

"Jin Jiao-sama, the Nine-Tails is too terrifying. Just by glaring at them, many brothers fainted on the spot..."

Black Prison Da looked like he had been scared to the point of wetting himself, his eyes filled with deep fear.

"Yin Jiao, it seems this is a tough nut to crack."

Letting go of the mentally broken Black Prison Da, Jin Jiao turned his head and said to his younger brother with a heavy expression.

"When brothers are of one mind, their strength can cut through metal."

Yin Jiao frowned and slowly took out a card glowing with silver light from his bosom, his face full of determination.

"Haha! Good!"

Feeling his brother's determination, Jin Jiao laughed heroically and also took out a card glowing with silver light from his bosom. On it was Gyuki bound by a turtle-shell knot, but in its ox eyes, there was no resentment like the Two-Tails, but rather a hint of mockery.

"Henshin!"

The two brothers smiled at each other and leaped into the canyon. As soon as they landed, they felt the surrounding air was scorching. A fat fox with a huge body was calmly picking its teeth.

Seeing the arrival of the Yin-Jin brothers, a look of human-like disappointment appeared on the Nine-Tails' face.

"Only two? Not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth~"

"Want to eat us? Be careful of an upset stomach."

Facing the Nine-Tails, whose aura far exceeded that of the Eight-Tails, Jin Jiao felt a slight sinking in his heart, but he had no fear. He touched the belt in his bosom, and the warm aura on it gave him enough confidence. He immediately shouted at the tyrannical Nine-Tails.

"Oh? Two brats, how do you look a bit familiar~"

Unexpectedly, the Yin-Jin brothers were not scared by its momentum but instead spouted nonsense at it. The Nine-Tails then looked at the two brothers seriously. As a result, it didn't know until it looked, and it was shocked when it did.

The six-path whisker marks on Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao's faces couldn't help but make the Nine-Tails lose focus. After sensing their auras carefully, it confirmed the other party's identity.

"So it's the old man's descendants too. Really not obedient at all~"

"Roar~!"

As long as it wasn't the descendants with red-eye disease or those who rode wooden men, the Nine-Tails wouldn't fear them. It opened its big mouth, and the foul-smelling breath blew toward the Yin-Jin brothers.

"Whoosh~"

The quick-witted brothers instantly activated their Lightning Armor and jumped to both sides, dodging the Nine-Tails' bad-breath technique.

"Humans, obediently become my food!"

Even though it recognized that these two humans were the old man's descendants, the Nine-Tails did not choose to show mercy. You must know that in the entire Ninja World, the old man's descendants were everywhere. If it had to carefully distinguish each one, would it still need its name as a ferocious beast?

"Can only transform."

Knowing that their physical bodies could not rival the Nine-Tails, the Yin-Jin brothers looked at each other, simultaneously took out a gray transformation device from their bosoms, and then each struck a strange pose.

Yin Jiao still tilted his head like before, showing a gloomy smile, and slowly buckled the transformation device onto his waist. The sharp fangs that appeared out of thin air pierced into his flesh, and the intense pain caused his eyes to be stained with a faint tyranny.

Jin Jiao, on the other hand, was not as chuunibyou as his brother; he just placed the transformation device on his waist plainly, and the gray belt fixed it instantly.

"What kind of plane are these two humans playing?"

The two brothers' operation, which it had never seen before, made the Nine-Tails scratch its face in confusion, muttering to itself in a strange tone.

However, until Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao slowly took out two cards, the Nine-Tails' two huge beast pupils were almost shocked to the point of falling to the ground.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at the two cards emitting a familiar aura, the Nine-Tails reached out its claws to stuff its eyeballs back into their sockets, swallowed hard, and asked in a voice that was almost a roar.

"Hum~"

The Tailed Beast Cards in the brothers' hands seemed to sense the existence of the Nine-Tails and began to tremble violently. Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, who had never seen a Tailed Beast Card so restless, looked at each other, their confusion only increasing.

"Uh... Big Brother, why is the card moving by itself!"

Just as the brothers were stunned, Yin Jiao was terrified to find that the Tailed Beast Card in his hand had suddenly slipped out of his grasp. He was so scared that he hurriedly tried to grab it, but ended up grabbing nothing.

"How could... Ah! Mine flew away too!"

Just as Jin Jiao turned his head, he felt his hand empty. The Tailed Beast Card he had just been holding tightly between his fingertips had also run away, making him hurriedly raise his hand to chase it.

The two Tailed Beast Cards spun in the air as if confirming something, and then, under the surprised gazes of the two people and one beast, they actively flew into the card slots of the brothers' transformation devices.

"Matatabi! Two-Tails Matatabi! The Deadly Wild Tiger!"

Yin Jiao, who hadn't recovered yet, only felt a chill on his waist, and then a familiar electronic sound came to his ears. With a feeling in his heart, he subconsciously shouted the transformation,

"Henshin!"

With a flash of blue light, the Two-Tails Knight appeared again.

"Why is this transformation so smooth this time?"

Yin Jiao, who had transformed successfully in a daze, raised his hands and found that his arms, which had been as heavy as a thousand jun during previous transformations, were now extremely flexible. Before he could think deeply, a gentle female voice suddenly came into his mind,

"Human, just this once, burn the fur off this traitor for me!"

"Ha?"

Jin Jiao was in the same situation. After the Eight-Tails card was inserted, Jin Jiao subconsciously struck his transformation pose, his body slightly sideways, his left hand held in the air at his chest, and his palm made a gesture of the number six.

"Gyuki! Eight-Tails Gyuki! The Overbearing Water Buffalo!"

Accompanied by the sound of the electronic voice on the belt, Jin Jiao moved his left hand to his face, made a claw shape, and shouted in a very mature voice,

"Henshin!"

"Zombie! Ready Fight!"

Only to see a viscous ink pouring out from the belt. Jin Jiao's eyes narrowed, his right foot lifted slightly, and then he stomped down fiercely. The splashed ink turned into deep purple armor and instantly wrapped him up.

The next moment, a deep purple knight with ox horns on his head appeared on the spot. The fingertips of his left hand were wriggling tentacles, and his right hand was holding a thick, serrated broadsword.

"This is?"

Looking at the broadsword in his hand, Jin Jiao, who had successfully transformed into the Eight-Tails Knight, had eyes full of the same confusion as Yin Jiao under his mask. When he transformed before, it wasn't this smooth, and he didn't have a self-contained weapon either?

"Brat, cut off this stinky fox's tail for me!"

"Who?"

A violent roar sounded in Jin Jiao's mind, scaring him into a shiver.

"If Lord Eight-Tails tells you to do it, you do it!"

Gyuki didn't play tricks and directly exposed its identity, just wanting to use Jin Jiao's hand to punish the Nine-Tails, the disgrace of the Tailed Beasts.

"Why should I listen to you, you loser."

When had Jin Jiao ever been ordered around like this? He immediately retorted in his mind. He had sealed the Eight-Tails with his own hands, so he wouldn't listen to the words of a loser.

"Hmph! I only let you off before for the sake of the old man. Don't push your luck."

The Eight-Tails snorted coldly, shaking Jin Jiao's consciousness into a turmoil. The terrifying aura that escaped made his heart tighten.

Could it be that the Eight-Tails was sealed by him on purpose?

"You two, what exactly are you?"

Witnessing the two's gorgeous transformation, the Nine-Tails was stunned for a long time before asking in surprise, its beast pupils filled with inexplicable colors.

"Hmph! We are the avengers!"

Feeling that his body was full of power, the two brothers temporarily suppressed the confusion in their hearts, locked onto the Nine-Tails' aura, struck a fighting pose, and answered in a deep voice.

"Playing gods and ghosts!"

The Nine-Tails, which couldn't figure out what the Tailed Beast Knights were, simply didn't want to think about it anymore and directly waved its sharp claws to grab the two.

"Freeze Vent!"

Facing the Nine-Tails' giant claws, which were as big as a small mountain, Yin Jiao gently tapped his belt. Accompanied by an electronic sound, everyone felt a cold and obscure power cover the entire field.

"Ah?"

The Nine-Tails was also affected by this power. It felt as if its entire body's chakra had been frozen, and the claws it swung out stopped stiffly in mid-air.

"Big Brother!"

After Yin Jiao released his skill, he reminded Jin Jiao to follow up.

"Alright!"

The two brothers, who cooperated tacitly, only needed one look to instantly understand each other's meaning. Jin Jiao, having received his brother's reminder, directly raised the serrated broadsword in his hand and slashed toward the controlled Nine-Tails.

"Ah!!!"

The Nine-Tails, which had been restrained due to carelessness, could only watch helplessly as the broadsword slashed onto its head, causing it to let out a miserable roar in pain.

"We can win!"

Seeing that his attack was effective, Jin Jiao's eyes lit up. The claw-like tentacles on his left hand flicked, and viscous ink immediately gushed out, splashing into the Nine-Tails' eyes, earning it even more miserable screams.

"Ah! My eyes!"

Under the intense pain, the Nine-Tails broke free from the restraint of the Freeze Vent, but its eyes had been infiltrated by the ink produced by Gyuki. Unable to see at all, it could only wave its sharp claws wildly like a mad dog, trying to put the two to death.

Seeing the Nine-Tails break free from his restraint, Matatabi jumped up and down in the Tailed Beast Card in annoyance.

"Quick! Scratch him to death for me!"

As Matatabi's thought arose, a card suddenly condensed in front of Yin Jiao. Too late to think, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his belt without even looking.

"Strike Vent!"

Accompanied by the strange electronic sound, Yin Jiao was surprised to find that his hands were suddenly covered by a pair of giant claws glowing with cold light. As if helped by a god, he no longer hesitated and directly transformed into a sneak-attack tiger, silently drilling toward the Nine-Tails' crotch.

"Yes! Castrate it for me!"

Seeing this scene, Matatabi raised its tail in excitement and couldn't help but urge in Yin Jiao's mind.

Yin Jiao:...

Although Tailed Beasts were creations of chakra, like living creatures, they all had reproductive organs. Yin Jiao, who touched the Nine-Tails' crotch, raised his head and saw a fur-covered, drooping rod-like object. He immediately waved his sharp claws and launched a "chicken-tearing" operation on the Nine-Tails.

The Nine-Tails, which had just shaken the ink off its eyes, hadn't had time to open them when it felt a chill in its crotch. It looked down in confusion and saw a blue figure rushing toward its important part.

"Uh ah! Ah! Ah ah ah~"

The next moment, the bone-deep tearing sensation made it gasp. Then, realizing that it was missing an object, the Nine-Tails let out the most aggrieved scream in thousands of years.

It seemed it was going to become a female~

"Well done! We can't lose face either!"

Watching the "feat" performed by Yin Jiao, Gyuki didn't fall behind and poured its power into the stunned Jin Jiao's body.

"Zombie Strike!"

Only to see the tentacles on Jin Jiao's left hand swell violently, turning into huge tentacles, instantly binding the Nine-Tails, which was rolling in pain, tightly. Not only that, these tentacles seemed to have their own consciousness, drilling into the gaps on the Nine-Tails' body with clear division of labor.

"Ah? Ah!!!"

The Nine-Tails was still immersed in the grief of castration. Caught off guard, it was restrained by Gyuki's tentacles. Seeing that its last few "eyes" were also about to be taken, it was so anxious that it opened its big mouth, and a black Tailed Beast Bomb condensed rapidly, then sprayed Tailed Beast Barrages toward the surroundings in an indiscriminate attack.

"Boom~"

"Boom!"

Facing such dense attacks, the helpless Jin Jiao had to retract his tentacles and play a barrage-dodging game with Yin Jiao, who had successfully cut off the "Kun."

A moment later, the terrain of the entire canyon had changed under the bombardment of the Tailed Beast Bombs. In the sky full of smoke and dust, the two brothers, covered in embarrassment, climbed out of the rubble, looking at the battlefield that had turned from a canyon into a basin with lingering fear.

"Is this the true power of the Nine-Tails?"

It wasn't that the two hadn't seen Tailed Beast Bombs; in the battles with the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails, they had also witnessed the destructive power of Tailed Beast Bombs. But this was the first time they had seen one release large Tailed Beast Bombs at such a high frequency like the Nine-Tails.

"Careful! Below!"

Just as the brothers were vigilantly searching for the Nine-Tails, the Tailed Beasts' reminders sounded in their minds at the same time.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the Nine-Tails' ferocious big mouth emerged from the ground. The two brothers, who couldn't dodge in time, were swallowed into its mouth just like that.

"Crunch!"

"Crunch!!!"

The Nine-Tails, filled with anger, used its sharp teeth to the extreme, chewing on the Yin-Jin brothers, who had made it so embarrassed, like eating soybeans, swearing to make them die without a burial place.

"Crunch! Crunch! Gulp~"

Accompanied by a crisp shell-breaking sound, the Nine-Tails, sensing that the Tailed Beast aura on the two in its mouth had dissipated, raised its beast head high, swallowed the Yin-Jin brothers, who were dead or alive, into its belly, and then licked its lips with satisfaction.

The Nine-Tails, which had eaten the Yin-Jin brothers alive, felt a sense of emptiness after a brief excitement. Turning its head to look at the "Kun-Kun" slowly dissipating in the world on the ground, tears of sadness left its eyes.

"Damn Matatabi! My Kun-Kun! Return my Kun-Kun!" (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 316 =====
