Chapter 316

316. Chapter 311: The Hatred of Severed Goods is Irreconcilable

After falling into the fox's mouth, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers only lasted for a few seconds before feeling powerless. The armor they were proud of was no match for the Nine-Tails' sharp teeth.

After a series of teeth-aching chewing sounds, the two brothers forcibly canceled their transformation.

Just a moment before they were about to be chewed into pieces by the Nine-Tails, the Tailed Beast Cards in the transformation devices on their waists suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light.

Immediately after, a mass of rich Tailed Beast chakra overflowed from the cards, instantly wrapping the two unconscious brothers. While resisting the Nine-Tails' sharp teeth, they quietly slipped into its belly.

"Open your eyes!"

"I am..."

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, who were already greeting their old father on the other side of the Sanzu River, were attracted by a low murmur. They had to wave at their old father, signaling that they had to wait a while, as they still had unfulfilled wishes.

"Hmm..."

"Where is this?"

The awakened Kinkaku and Ginkaku opened their eyes with difficulty. What met their eyes was a dark red space. The scorching and sticky touch under their bodies made the two brothers frown. Sniffing the strange smell of meat permeating the air, they slowly stood up.

"Big Brother, look!"

Just as Kinkaku was thinking about where this place was, Ginkaku's surprised voice interrupted his train of thought. Following the direction his brother pointed, he saw a hair-raising scene.

The ground of this space was covered with incomplete charred corpses. From the silver-glowing forehead protectors on them, the two brothers recognized the symbol of the Cloud Village.

"Big Brother, could this be..."

Ginkaku, who had squatted down to check, raised his head with a tense expression, already having a bold guess in his heart.

"That's right, this should be inside the Nine-Tails' stomach."

Kinkaku was no fool either. Judging from the wriggling walls around them, the two brothers had actually been swallowed alive by the Nine-Tails.

However, what was going on with the voice just now?

"Ginkaku, did you hear any strange sounds while you were unconscious?"

"Big Brother, did you hear it too?"

Sure enough, the sound was not a hallucination.

"Slurp~ Slurp~"

Just as the two brothers were communicating, gastric juice dripping from above fell to the ground and splashed onto Kinkaku's leg, instantly corroding a large hole in his pants.

"Now is not the time for idle chatter, let's find a way to escape first!"

Kinkaku realized that the oxygen in the air was becoming thinner and thinner. Feeling that something was wrong, he began to look for a way to escape.

Consequently, the two brothers began to search for exits everywhere. After unremitting efforts, they found two slightly closed holes, one above and one below, but because their figures were too bulky, they really couldn't escape from the narrow holes.

Just as they were at their wits' end, that familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears again.

"Hmph~ Stupid humans."

At the same time they heard this voice, their consciousness was pulled into a pitch-black room. Just as they were suspicious and uncertain, two huge figures slowly appeared from the darkness. It was exactly the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails they had subdued before.

"What do you want to do?"

Kinkaku and Ginkaku stood together, looking at the two familiar Tailed Beasts vigilantly.

"Really unappreciative of good beast intentions. If it weren't for us, you two guys would have long been chewed into pieces by that traitor Nine-Tails, and now you would have been excreted out."

The Eight-Tails Gyuki shook its huge bull head and told the two brothers about their righteous act one by one.

"Save us? You would be so kind? I'm afraid you have other motives, right?"

Ginkaku had been harmed by the Two-Tails several times and didn't believe at all that the Tailed Beasts would save him out of kindness.

"That's because we saw you performed well before, so we took action to save your lives."

The Eight-Tails and Two-Tails didn't expect that the transformed Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers could really slash off the Nine-Tails' goods. As they spoke, their beast pupils carried a faint look of appreciation.

Although the Tailed Beasts explained it this way, Kinkaku on the side saw it more thoroughly. He looked down at the transformation device on his waist, then raised his head and said in a somewhat mocking tone,

"If we died in the Nine-Tails' mouth, wouldn't you, who are sealed in the Tailed Beast Cards, have to stay here forever..."

Following Kinkaku's words, a look of embarrassment appeared on the faces of the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails.

Seeing this, Kinkaku, who was even more certain of his guess, curled his lips, and a sense of mischief arose. Following the previous sentence,

"Or, go on an exciting journey through the rectum?"

"Shut up!"

Kinkaku was really right. This was exactly what the two beasts feared most. If they were really excreted by the Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails would probably never be able to stand in the Tailed Beast circle again in their lives.

【Excrement~ Excrement~ You are all excrement~】

They had already imagined the ugly faces of the other beasts, especially the Nine-Tails, the culprit, who could mock them for this for a lifetime.

"Do you still want to get out?"

The Eight-Tails, having calmed down, changed the subject with a gloomy expression.

"Oh? You have a way?"

Kinkaku couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"If you don't want to go out through the stinky fox's x-hole, then start eating!"

Gyuki and Yugito looked at each other, the mockery in their eyes flashing by. Being able to escape and torture this stinky fox at the same time, why not do it~

"Huh?"

"Hmph~ Hurry up and eat!"

Being told this by the Eight-Tails, the two brothers, who were already a bit hungry, felt thunderous sounds in their stomachs. After returning to reality, the two looked at each other, put their hands together, bowed to the wriggling stomach wall, and shouted in unison,

"Itadakimasu~"

"Uh, did I eat something that upset my stomach?"

Too late to feel sad for his missing goods, the Nine-Tails next faced unbearable pain in its belly.

It had been almost two weeks since it ate the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers. At first, the Nine-Tails only felt a little twitch in its stomach. Always gluttonous, it thought it was just full from eating the charcoal-grilled Blackie, so it didn't pay attention.

But as time passed, this pain not only didn't disappear but had a trend of becoming more and more intense. It hurt so much that it rolled on the ground holding its belly, devastating a large area of lush forest into a bare plain.

"No! There is definitely a problem!"

The Nine-Tails, unable to bear it any longer, decided to perform a self-check and immediately activated its perception to scan its stinging abdomen.

As a result, it didn't know until it scanned, and it was shocked when it did. It actually sensed two deep malicious intents in its belly. Recalling the brothers' sashimi it ate raw two weeks ago, the Nine-Tails suddenly realized.

This wasn't a stomachache; it was clearly maggots growing in its belly.

"Get out for me!"

The Nine-Tails, having insight into the truth, beat its abdomen angrily, trying to make the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers die in the womb.

"Uh, Big Brother, why is it shaking so much?"

Inside the Nine-Tails' stomach, Ginkaku, who had eaten until he was a ○-god boy, twisted his three-layered neck with difficulty and asked Kinkaku, who was a circle bigger than himself beside him.

"Crunch~ Crunch~ It is indeed shaking a bit. It should be a normal fluctuation. Don't worry about it so much, hurry up and eat!"

Kinkaku swallowed a large piece of Nine-Tails meat into his belly, smacked his lips, felt it carefully, and felt nothing unusual, so he urged Ginkaku to eat quickly.

"But... I really can't eat anymore~"

Looking at the riddled stomach wall in despair, Ginkaku covered his mouth in pain. Since receiving the Tailed Beasts' prompt two weeks ago, the two brothers had been traveling day and night. As soon as they opened their eyes, they were eating, and they didn't dare to have the slightest slack.

"Eat for me. As long as you don't burst, swallow it for me."

The Eight-Tails' voice appeared again. As the supervisors of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers' eating broadcast, the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails had exhausted their efforts, urging them punctually every day, afraid that the two would eat one less bite and the Nine-Tails would suffer one less bit of pain.

"You guys aren't lying to us, are you?"

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers threw the Tailed Beast meat in their hands onto the ground in annoyance, preparing to stand up and protest, but found that due to their weight, they couldn't stand up at all, so they had to sit on the ground and slander loudly.

"Two idiots, you are at least the old man's descendants, how can you not even distinguish between chakra and meat."

The Eight-Tails looked at the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers with hatred for their failure to meet expectations. These two guys had some atavistic bloodlines, which could reach about one percent of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's purity.

Eating Nine-Tails meat raw was actually just a superficial phenomenon. What they were devouring was the Nine-Tails' origin chakra. Although the amount wasn't large, it was pure enough. If refined properly, Kinkaku and Ginkaku could use a portion of the Nine-Tails' power in the future.

"Uh, what do you mean by that?"

Kinkaku, feeling that the Eight-Tails had something in its words, couldn't help but ask.

"Fool, every cell in your body is now stuffed with the Nine-Tails' chakra. If you continue to eat without practicing, you will burst sooner or later."

Unable to watch its hope of escape die suddenly, the Eight-Tails had to give the two brothers a lesson.

"Soudesune~"

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers suddenly realized. No wonder they had become so fat in just half a month. They thought they had good absorption before, but they didn't expect it was just bloated.

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, understanding in their hearts, immediately closed their eyes and began to meditate, controlling the chakra in their bodies, and grabbing the expanding scarlet Tailed Beast power.

"Hmph~ Watch me refine it in an instant!"

Only to see scorching steam rising from the two brothers, and the white fat collapsed like a deflated ball. Before long, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers returned to their usual burly selves.

"Success!"

Opening their eyes with joy, Kinkaku and Ginkaku hugged each other and wept. They were finally not fat boys anymore~

"Since you've slimmed back down, then continue to eat for me!"

Looking at the gifted brothers, Gyuki nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and continued to urge the eating broadcast.

"Roar!!!"

Just as the confident Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers were preparing to return to the eating broadcast, the two suddenly felt the world spinning, and the hole above their heads that was usually slightly open instantly expanded to a size that two people could enter and exit.

Accompanied by a strong suction force, the two brothers, caught off guard, only felt their eyes go dark, and the next second they were sucked into the hole.

"Get out for me! Ugh~ Ugh~"

Outside, the Nine-Tails, which had been digging its claws into its throat for a long time, had tears of pain almost flowing out. Feeling a foreign object in its throat, it hurriedly retched a few times and spat it out.

"Plop~"

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers rode the Nine-Tails esophagus train and finally landed successfully.

"Finally out!"

After two weeks of torture, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, seeing the light of day again, wept bitterly, kneeling on the ground and kissing the damp earth, feeling the hard-won freedom.

"Damn humans, are you the ones who have been making trouble in my belly?"

Finally having gotten rid of the roundworms in its belly, the Nine-Tails, feeling relieved, looked at the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, who were weeping with joy, with murderous intent after a moment of luck. Its sharp teeth emitted a cold light.

"This time I will bite you into pieces before swallowing you."

"Hmph~ Our mission hasn't been completed yet!"

Facing the Nine-Tails' overwhelming pressure, Kinkaku reached into his bosom and pulled out the transformation device, stepping forward without any fear, his eyes filled with thick fighting intent.

Ginkaku, as the younger brother, also silently took out the transformation device. As long as his big brother said a word, even if it was to go through fire and water, he would not refuse.

"Hmm... this strange thing again."

The Nine-Tails looked at the transformation device pulled out by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers and subconsciously clamped its legs together, but the empty feeling of loss in the middle made the hatred in its heart even deeper.

If the Nine-Tails knew who had tinkered with this broken thing, it would definitely slash off the other party's goods.

"Nine-Tails! Return my disciple's life!"

Just as the two sides were at daggers drawn, a familiar roar suddenly came from afar, scaring the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers into shaking their little hands, almost dropping the transformation device. The two looked at each other and shifted their gazes over in unison.

Only to see a sharp lightning flash across the sky, which was not very bright. The dazzling lightning, with an unstoppable momentum, slashed down towards the Nine-Tails' head.

"Lightning-Style: Lightning-Abuse Horizontal Thousand-Generation Dance!"

"Big Brother, it's the instructor!"

Ginkaku, through the dazzling lightning, discovered the black figure inside for the first time and shouted excitedly to his big brother.

"Hmph~ We could have solved it clearly, this guy always likes to worry about nothing."

Kinkaku, who also recognized who the person was, pouted in dissatisfaction, but the imperceptible touch of emotion in the corner of his eyes exposed his true thoughts.

The Nine-Tails also sensed that the lightning above its head was by no means a natural phenomenon. Smelling the danger, it forcibly moved its head, trying to dodge the lightning.

"Boom!"

But how could it, with unbearable pain in its belly, be faster than lightning? Hearing a loud noise, the Nine-Tails felt as if its skull had been hit hard by a hammer, and it instantly saw stars.

"Clatter~"

The Second Raikage, who hit with one strike, landed on the ground. Blood slowly seeped from the hand he had just slashed with, dripping onto the ground along his fingertips, stirring up bursts of dust. But he didn't care, instead showing a fierce look, staring fixedly at the Nine-Tails, which was shaking its head, preparing for the next attack.

Two weeks ago, the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers went missing while executing the mission to capture the Nine-Tails. According to the description of the only survivor on the scene, the two brothers were chewed into pieces by the Nine-Tails and swallowed into its belly, leaving no corpse behind.

The Second Raikage, hearing this for the first time, was so furious that he slashed the Raikage's desk, which he hadn't even sat on warmly yet, into pieces on the spot. With his eyes splitting, he issued an order, requiring the whole village to be dispatched to find the Nine-Tails' trail. He wanted to avenge his beloved disciples.

Don't look at the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers as usually arrogant and domineering, but they still respected the First Raikage and Second Raikage very much, especially the Second Raikage, who even had a master-disciple relationship with the two brothers.

This matter dates back many years ago. When the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers first joined the Land of Lightning, they were fortunate enough to participate in the training camp set up by the Second Raikage. Under the other party's careful teaching, the strength of the two had a solid growth, and the Second Raikage also valued these two brothers very much, often giving them special training. Even the Lightning Armor technique developed by the First Raikage was taught to them without reservation.

Although the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers never formally took him as a master from beginning to end, they had long regarded the Second Raikage as their teacher in their hearts.

On this side, the Second Raikage, who locked all his attention on the Nine-Tails, burst out with dazzling lightning all over his body, his dark face hanging with a thick look of sadness.

"How dare you eat my most beloved disciples, watch me..."

"Instructor!"

"Watch me..."

"We are still alive!"

"Huh?"

The Second Raikage, who thought he was having auditory hallucinations due to excessive sadness, turned his head in confusion after hearing the familiar voice twice. As a result, he saw the two brothers running towards him and found that except for their clothes being a bit tattered, other parts were intact. The sadness in his eyes was instantly replaced by surprise.

"You guys... really don't make people worry!"

Bursting into tears with excitement, the Second Raikage gave Kinkaku and Ginkaku a violent knock, and then hugged the two of them.

"Hmm..."

The two brothers, holding their heads, pretended to be in pain, but felt a warmth in their hearts. The Second Raikage's true feelings just now really moved them.

"Roar!"

On the other side, the Nine-Tails, which had woken up from the dizziness, looked at the three people hugging and weeping, baring its teeth and roaring in a show of force, but it had its own little calculations in its heart.

Another one actually came, and it didn't look weak.

The Nine-Tails actually already had the intention to retreat at this time. On one hand, because of its own physical problems, the wound where its goods were gone was still aching, and its stomach was riddled with holes, which greatly affected the exertion of its combat power.

On the other hand, because the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers' transformation methods were too weird, the Nine-Tails still hadn't figured out how these two humans could control the power of the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails.

"If you have anything to say, wait until we finish off this big fox."

Hearing the Nine-Tails' roar, the Second Raikage straightened his expression and stood in front of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers.

"Mere humans, actually spouting wild words."

The Nine-Tails, which was originally preparing to run away, was so angry that its nose was almost crooked when it heard the Second Raikage's arrogant words.

Please, when you come out to mix, you have to talk about background~

You Blackie, can you ride a wooden man, or can you drive a Gundam?

"Boom~"

Just at this time, another lightning bolt lit up in the sky. The Nine-Tails shrank its head somewhat reactively, glanced at the Second Raikage who was waiting in full battle array, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, the next moment, another figure descended from the sky.

"Righteous Lightning Sinking Angry Lightning Axe!"

Only to see the First Raikage, wearing a loose yukata, slash down with one foot. The wooden clogs on his feet instantly vaporized under the scorching of the lightning, and his pitch-black big foot directly hit the Nine-Tails' buttocks.

"Ah!!!"

This kick could be described as adding frost to snow. The Nine-Tails, which hadn't fully recovered, was instantly stunned on the spot. After letting out a miserable scream, it painfully condensed a Tailed Beast Bomb and sprayed it towards the few people.

These few humans' taijutsu was too perverted, it had better avoid the sharp edge for now, and come back for revenge after it recovered.

Thinking of this, the Nine-Tails didn't linger. After spraying a few more Tailed Beast Bombs, it limped towards its old home in the Land of Fire.

"Quick, dodge!"

The Second Raikage waved his big hand, and dazzling lightning burst out from the few people at the same time, turning into four lightning bolts to dodge the dense Tailed Beast Bombs, and finally landed on a mountain top far away from the battlefield.

"Big Brother, it ran away!"

Ginkaku fixed his gaze on the Nine-Tails' fleeing back and reminded his big brother.

"Can't let it run away!"

Kinkaku, who hadn't completed the mission yet, how could he let the Nine-Tails go? He still had to rely on this mission to become the Second Raikage!

"Forget it, it has already escaped the territory of the Land of Lightning."

Just as Kinkaku was chasing the Nine-Tails, the First Raikage reached out and blocked him, shook his head slightly, and stopped him.

"Raikage-sama, I..."

"I am no longer the Raikage now."

Waving his hand to interrupt Kinkaku's subsequent words, the First Raikage, who had already stepped down, pointed to the Second Raikage on the side and explained with a smile.

"Nani!"

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers were shocked in their hearts. Shifting their gazes over, they discovered that what the Second Raikage was wearing was the battle robe symbolizing the Raikage. They instantly sat on the ground like deflated balls.

"It's over~ It's all over~"

Kinkaku's eyes revealed a look of despair, and his heart was even more bitter. Clearly, he was only one step away from the position of leader, but in the end, he still missed it.

"You brat, are you dissatisfied with me?"

Seeing Kinkaku's appearance, the Second Raikage was furious and gave the other party a violent knock, questioning him with displeasure.

"No~"

Shaking his head innocently, Kinkaku indicated that he had no opinion on the Second Raikage.

"Then what do you mean by this dead look?"

"Because I promised someone that I would become a leader, and now I have broken my promise."

Standing up decadently, Kinkaku and Ginkaku looked at each other. The bitterness on the two brothers' faces didn't look fake.

It turned out that the two brothers were still thinking about a promise they made to someone many years ago. Wanting to fulfill the promise early, they were so eager for quick success and instant benefits.

"Huh?"

The First Raikage and Second Raikage, hearing this, were both confused, then laughed out loud and promised the two brothers,

"Don't worry, you are still Raikage candidates, but there's no chance for the Second, you can be the Third if you want~"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers immediately nodded like garlic, and the light called hope rose in their eyes again.

"Alright, although the Nine-Tails wasn't captured, it's already very good to be able to survive. After going back, the training will be doubled, don't let your imagination run wild all day."

"Yes! Teacher!"

"I really suffered a lot~"

Limping and galloping in the forest of the Land of Fire, the Nine-Tails hated it in its heart. If it had known that Blackie was also not easy to mess with, it would have just stayed in the Land of Fire.

Sigh~ Isn't it back to the happy old home after tossing and turning?

"Fortunately, the damage in the stomach can be repaired, but the goods..."

Lying on the ground, carefully rubbing its belly, the Nine-Tails sensed that its stomach and intestines were slowly recovering, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. But when its gaze fell on the ferocious wound between its legs, it couldn't help but shed tears again.

It had tried many times, but the wound of the goods just couldn't be restored. This encounter couldn't help but make it recall the eye of the Three-Tails Isobu being poked blind many years ago. That wound also couldn't be repaired with chakra, and even if it regenerated, it still existed.

It was basically confirmed that the goods that had accompanied it for thousands of years had really left it forever. The Nine-Tails in despair went completely crazy.

"The hatred of severed goods is irreconcilable, you guys just wait for me!!!" (End of chapter)
