Chapter 318

Regarding Isobu's request, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally would not refuse, but chose to approach Han's side and link the two's chakra together.

Inside Han's consciousness space, the Five-Tails Kokuo was lying on the ground, bored, with a very gloomy expression.

In fact, since their birth, the Tailed Beasts have not had many long, carefree, and free days.

The peace philosophy proposed by Senju Hashirama maintained human interests, but this philosophy was built on the oppression of the Tailed Beasts.

Without experiencing the pain of being sealed, it is absolutely difficult to understand this kind of suffering and torture.

Losing their original free and powerful form and being imprisoned in a weak human body—such a feeling is simply difficult to describe in words.

The personalities of the Tailed Beasts are all different, but no matter if their temper is good or bad, under such long-term bondage, it is inevitable that they will develop feelings of resentment toward humans.

Just as the Five-Tails was silently enduring the pain brought by the seal, a consciousness suddenly linked to this dim sealing space.

"Old friend, long time no see."

A muffled voice suddenly rang in Kokuo's ears.

"This is"

The Five-Tails was greatly shocked; sensing this familiar yet strange aura, a fragment immediately surfaced in its mind.

"Are you Isobu?"

The Five-Tails' tone was somewhat shocked, and it subconsciously wanted to stand up from the dim place.

But its movement only triggered a sound brought by chains.

Isobu, linked in Han's consciousness space, looked around and saw that on the Five-Tails' massive body, chains and layers of restraints were visible everywhere.

Under such restraints, the Five-Tails was basically unable to move an inch.

Seeing this, a trace of relief flashed in Isobu's eyes.

Compared to the Five-Tails right now, its days were much less restricted.

"It's me."

Isobu simply admitted its identity and condensed a shrunken version of its figure with consciousness.

The Five-Tails was greatly shocked again, its eyes filled with disbelief.

A scarlet single eye, three tails as thick as coconut trees, and a shell covered with barbs.

This posture, the Five-Tails naturally recognized at a glance that the one appearing before it was its "old friend"—the Three-Tails, Isobu.

The Five-Tails knew in its heart that even the strongest Nine-Tails had already been captured and sealed by those two terrifying men; the nine Tailed Beasts were all currently in seals.

And the Three-Tails Isobu before it could actually sneak into its consciousness—how exactly did it do it?

"Nothing is impossible; actually, it's because"

Next, Isobu explained everything to the Five-Tails exactly as it happened.

From it being sealed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's body, to the formation of the sea of consciousness, to Han's defeat outside.

After listening to Isobu's narration, the Five-Tails remained silent for a long time.

"Then what do you want by coming here? To see me make a fool of myself?"

The Five-Tails said to Isobu without any politeness, a trace of complexity and shame in the depths of its eyes.

The relationship between the nine Tailed Beasts is very subtle; it can neither be called good nor bad.

After all, they were born together in the hands of the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and can be considered brothers of the same father and origin.

However, the powerful strength they were born with made none of the nine Tailed Beasts willing to submit to the others in their hearts, so the relationship naturally could not be called very good.

Especially now, everyone has fallen to the point of being sealed, and you kid can still enjoy such comfort? This made the Five-Tails feel both envious and sour, as well as a bit of unwillingness.

"It's not like that; I came to tell you another thing."

Isobu shook its head; the reason it was willing to become Mizunuki Ryosuke's help and assist him in becoming a perfect jinchuriki was most importantly because Mizunuki Ryosuke had once revealed Madara's plan to it.

Regarding Madara's terror, Isobu naturally could not be clearer.

Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan is built on the foundation of him becoming the Ten-Tails jinchuriki.

And once the Ten-Tails is resurrected, the nine Tailed Beasts will inevitably perish; this is a major matter concerning their lives, so Isobu did not dare to be careless and fully assisted Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Preventing the resurrection of the Ten-Tails is a problem faced by all nine Tailed Beasts; taking this opportunity, Isobu naturally had to inform the Five-Tails.

At that moment, Isobu told the Five-Tails about Madara's plan in a serious tone.

The Five-Tails' expression also went from initial sourness to shock, and finally to gravity.

The ones who understand the Tailed Beasts best are naturally the Tailed Beasts themselves; under Isobu's appeal to reason, the Five-Tails' heart was filled with shock.

It knew that the matter was of great importance, and Isobu would never speak without cause.

"If that's really the case, we must stop Indra (Madara) at all costs!"

"But"

The Five-Tails initially said seriously, but as it spoke, its voice suddenly lowered, because it remembered its own situation again.

After all is said and done, it is still one problem—the heart is willing but the strength is lacking.

"Don't worry."

"No need to worry, I will handle everything."

"Kokuo, you just need to lend your power to Ryosuke; leave all other problems to him to handle."

As it spoke, Isobu patted its shell, making a "click-clack" sound.

A confident expression of "Ryosuke is here, no accidents."

"This"

The Five-Tails was still somewhat hesitant.

"Kokuo, you should understand the severity of the matter."

"Since Asura is already dead."

"Mizunuki Ryosuke is the only person who can handle this matter right now."

Isobu said seriously, with no intention of joking at all in its tone.

"You have such a high evaluation of this human?"

The Five-Tails looked at Isobu in surprise.

Tailed Beasts are all arrogant; being able to acknowledge a human is already difficult.

And to show such trust in a human is simply a miracle.

"Yes."

Regarding this, Isobu just nodded as if it were a matter of course, with no intention of joking at all.

"Good!"

In the end, the Five-Tails gritted its teeth and agreed.

After a secret talk with the Five-Tails, Isobu informed Mizunuki Ryosuke of the final result.

Isobu's negotiation plan had not been discussed with Mizunuki Ryosuke beforehand, and Mizunuki Ryosuke was naturally very surprised by this result.

He was just thinking about how to deal with the Five-Tails, never expecting Isobu to directly "persuade" the other party to surrender.

"Well done, Isobu."

Mizunuki Ryosuke praised Isobu in the consciousness space.

"No problem, this is what I should do."

"That guy has already promised me that it will contribute its power."

"As for how to use this power, you and it should talk about it."

"I'm going to sleep first."

Isobu's muffled voice rang in Mizunuki Ryosuke's ears, and then it cut off the communication between the two on its own.

This style has quite a bit of the meaning of "brushing off clothes after the matter is done, hiding merit and fame."

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke could only shake his head with a wry smile.

This unexpected result also made a trace of depth appear in his eyes.

Now, for the Five-Tails, this weapon at the level of "ninja world deterrence," he can only accept it with a smile.

Such power given by the Five-Tails should be utilized as soon as possible.

Looking at Han lying on the ground, Mizunuki Ryosuke knew that "that technique" must also be figured out as soon as possible.
