Chapter 595

~7 min read 1,266 words

Regarding Isobu's request, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally would not refuse, instead choosing to move close to Han's side and link their chakras together.

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

In fact, since their birth, the tailed beasts hadn't had much time of unrestrained freedom.

The peace philosophy proposed by Senju Hashirama maintained human interests, but this philosophy was built upon the oppression of the tailed beasts.

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

Losing one's original free and powerful form and being imprisoned in a weak human body—such a feeling is simply hard to describe in words.

The personalities of the tailed beasts are all different, but regardless of whether their temper is good or bad, under such long-term confinement, it is hard not to 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 space.

But its movement only triggered a sound from the 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 flash of relief crossed Isobu's eyes.

Compared to the Five-Tails right now, its own life was countless times less restricted.

"It's me."

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

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

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

In this form, 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 clearly that even the strongest Nine-Tails had been captured and sealed by those two terrifying men; all nine tailed beasts were currently trapped in seals.

And the Three-Tails Isobu before it was actually able to sneak into its consciousness—how on earth did it do that?

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

Next, Isobu explained everything to the Five-Tails one by one.

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

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

"Then what are you here for? To see me make a fool of myself?"

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

The relationship between the nine tailed beasts is very subtle; it can't be called good, nor can it be called bad.

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

But the innate powerful strength made none of the nine tailed beasts willing to submit to the others in their hearts, so the relationship naturally couldn't 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 little unwilling.

"It's not like that; I came to tell you something else."

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

Regarding Madara's terror, Isobu naturally knew it better than anyone.

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 dared not be careless and assisted Mizunuki Ryosuke with all its might.

Preventing the Ten-Tails' resurrection is a problem faced by all nine tailed beasts, so Isobu naturally had to inform the Five-Tails of this opportunity.

At that, 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 solemnity.

The ones who understand tailed beasts best are naturally tailed beasts themselves; under Isobu's emotional appeal, the Five-Tails' heart was filled with shock.

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

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

"But..."

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

When all is said and done, it's still one problem—the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

"Don't worry."

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

... Seeking flowers...

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

While speaking, 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 situation."

"Since Asura is already dead."

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

Isobu said seriously, its tone not having the slightest hint of joking.

"You actually have such a high opinion of this human?"

The Five-Tails looked at Isobu in surprise.

Tailed beasts are all proud and arrogant; being able to acknowledge a human is already extremely difficult.

And showing such trust in a human is simply a miracle.

"Yes."

To this, Isobu just nodded as if it were a matter of course, without the slightest intention of joking.

"Good!"

Ultimately, 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, so Mizunuki Ryosuke was naturally very surprised by this result.

He was just thinking about how to deal with the Five-Tails, not expecting Isobu to have directly "persuaded" 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 should go talk to it yourself."

"I'm going to sleep now."

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 of doing things had a bit of the meaning of "brushing off one's clothes after the deed is done, hiding one's merit and fame."

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke could only shake his head, laughing and crying at the same time.

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

Now, he could only gratefully accept the Five-Tails as a weapon of "Ninja World deterrence" level.

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 jutsu" must also be figured out as soon as possible.
