Chapter 81

The surrounding forest was flooded by raging waves of water when the giant carcass of the Three-Tails began to float from the bottom to the surface of the lake.

– Graaa, Saikeeen!! – soon a huge turtle emerged from the seething water and looked towards the troublemaker with a ferocious roar.

Silence!

And after a brief moment, absolute silence reigned, only the water continued to flow down the shell the size of a football field.

- Hey, how many years, how many winters, Three-Tails! – Yudao waved his hand on the shore with a smile, thinking that he had not been noticed.

Boom!

Then, pretending to be deaf, Isobu immediately dove back into the lake and sank to the bottom even faster than he had surfaced.

Crap! Crap!

What about Hashirama's seal?

Who had the courage to release HIM ?

Run!!

Isobu did not even have the thought of resistance, much less revenge.

He lay low on this island not only because of nature, clean air and excellent ecology, but also because he discovered an underground river at the bottom of the lake leading straight to the sea.

Now he could only think about how to quickly get out to sea, and then he would see if he would be lucky enough to escape from the clutches of this monster.

On the shore of a restless lake.

Yudao, who had previously waved his hand welcomingly, was speechless and froze in place in shock, watching Isobu go to the bottom.

“I knew that the Bijuu didn’t like me...” the First Mizukage lowered his hand with an annoyed sigh.

But Isobu was not destined to leave today.

Indestructible Sealing Chains!

Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!

And then three shining chains of chakra, escaping from Yudao’s back, rushed into the abyss of the lake following the desperately escaping Biju.

Clink! Clink...

Isobu involuntarily looked back when the approaching sound of metal, reminiscent of the clanking of chains, reached his ears.

And a moment later he began to row his limbs with renewed vigor!

Unfortunately, the thick chains of chakra were faster, and at first they quickly caught up and then entangled the huge turtle carcass.

Subsequently, no matter how fiercely Isobu fought, he was never able to break the Indestructible Sealing Chains.

After this, the chains of chakra began to rapidly tow the giant carcass in the direction of Yudao under the incessant roar of Isobu.

Not much time passed before the Bijuu again appeared before the First Mizukage on the shore of the lake.

Then Yudao stepped forward and affably patted the Three-Tails’ huge crown, as if he had met a bosom friend after many years.

By this moment, Isobu had already calmed down and stood meekly on the shore of the lake, allowing himself to be stroked on the wet top of his head.

Although it might seem that just open your mouth, swallow this tiny person and be done with it, but Isobu did not even dare to think about such a thing.

It's better to sit still, then you'll get less...

Soon the Three-Tails lolled amusingly on the ground in front of the First Mizukage, like a cat, causing him to smile.

If someone now happened to see this sight, he would probably begin to rub his eyes with his fists in amazement, wondering since when did the Bijuu become so docile, or maybe this is even a dream?

“Well, let’s talk...”, shrugging his shoulders at the incomprehensibility of what was happening, and moved on to Yudao’s case.

Coming here, he thought that first he would have to beat Biju heartily and only then speak. But apparently you won’t need fists, otherwise it will be a mockery of the poor animal...

***

Kirigakure.

Utakata sadly blew soap bubbles on the tree branches.

Previously, people only came here occasionally, disturbing its peace, but usually there was a pleasant silence, and the breeze rustled in the leaves. Well, grace... But the key word here is before!

Because since the first meeting with Yudao, more and more dubious characters have been hanging around here day by day.

First it means Kimimaro, then immediately Ranmaru, and after them Ameyuri and the rest.

It wasn't enough, now Haku and Zabuza showed up...

What is this, the base of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist?!

- Hey there, up there! – raised his head and waved Yudao friendly towards the disgruntled Jinchuriki on the tree branch.

Hearing this, Utakata shuddered all over, but quickly came to his senses and hastily lowered his gaze to the source of the familiar voice.

I didn’t feel anything at all, it grew out of the ground!

– Yudao-sama! – the Jinchuriki bowed respectfully, immediately jumping from the tree and running up to the arriving First Mizukage.

- How are the others? – nodded in response and, looking around, asked Yudao.

“On the training ground,” Utakata answered calmly, knowing perfectly well who was meant by the so-called others.

“Okay, then I’ll look at them,” Yudao nodded and was about to go to the training ground when he remembered something, turned his head slightly and casually said to Utakata, “while you look after this.”

After these words, he took a small palm-sized turtle from his shoulder and casually threw it to Utakata.

He, in surprise, tried to pick it up with one hand, but at the moment of contact, he squinted sharply and hastily connected his other hand. Although in the end, he still instantly bent over with a tiny turtle in his trembling hands.

So small, but so heavy - this is absolutely abnormal!

- What... is this... turtle? – with a reddened face, holding the turtle, Utakata squeezed out through the force.

But Yudao no longer saw the suffering of the Jinchuriki, because he casually threw the turtle, immediately turned away and went to the training ground.

“Three-tails,” a barely audible voice sounded in Utakata’s ears.

Bijuu is nothing more than an eternal battery for the First Mizukage, and as a reward for his compliance, he did not absorb Isoba.

Moreover, having a foreign consciousness in the body was not a pleasant experience.

Anyway, the Biju on his shoulder is not much different from a completely absorbed Biju. After all, he will still be able to replenish energy if necessary, since Biju is essentially composed of energy.

Hearing these words, Utakata suddenly tensed up and slowly lowered his gaze to the turtle in his hands, while breaking out in a cold sweat.

Immediately after Yudao left...

- Well, quickly put me on the ground, puppy! – Isobu stuck his head out of his shell and exclaimed contemptuously, until now he had been sitting quieter than water, lower than the grass.

Then the trembling Utakata laid the little turtle on the ground and exhaled all the air from his lungs, never tired of repeating how heavy it was!

Jinchuriki are by no means devoid of fear of other tailed beasts.

Finally feeling the ground under his feet, the satisfied Isobu looked around Utakata from head to toe with a slightly surprised look.

"This kid turns out to be the Jinchuriki of the Six-Tails... can he say hi to Saiken?" – he thought humbly.
