In the Land of Lightning, Shin'yu was leading the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers on a journey through a desolate mountain range, the wind whistling as the scenery on both sides rushed past.
Along the way, the two brothers chatted intermittently.
"That beast sure talks a lot, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, we didn't get to use our ninja tools last time, but we can use them this time."
"Kinkaku, my Tailed Beast Transformation isn't very refined yet."
"Then, I'll take the lead. Half-Tailed Beast Transformation makes you lose consciousness, so I'll leave the ninja tools to you to control."
As he spoke, Kinkaku spat out miniature versions of the Basho Fan and Seven Star Sword from his mouth, handing them to Ginkaku.
With just a few simple exchanges, they established a battle plan against the Nine-Tails, demonstrating the brothers' remarkable teamwork.
Several times, Shin'yu almost launched Spirit Body Separation, directly invading the mental world of either Kinkaku or Ginkaku to extract information.
But after much deliberation, he restrained the impulse.
After all, these two were descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, swallowed by the Nine-Tails but not digested, even gnawing on the Nine-Tails' flesh. If their souls had any special properties, he'd have no place to cry.
In the original timeline, they even had the impressive feat of killing the Second Raikage and Second Hokage. A rash attack would very likely backfire.
To be on the safe side, he decided to stick to the original plan.
Soon, the three of them crossed several mountains and arrived at a cloud-shrouded canyon.
"You two, this is where we encountered the Nine-Tails!" Shin'yu called back.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku immediately stopped, their brows furrowing as they saw the corpses of Cloud Ninja scattered everywhere. They stepped forward to examine them.
The ninja had died horribly, their bodies hacked to pieces, as if torn apart by claws. Ginkaku couldn't help but wrinkle his nose; the stench of blood in the air was overwhelming.
"Yotsuki Sora, so you died here." Ginkaku discovered a pale head.
Kinkaku frowned slightly. "Strange, I don't sense the Nine-Tails' presence..."
"Omoi, when was the last time you saw the Nine-Tails? At this distance, we should be able to sense it."
"Pfft!"
Ginkaku lowered his head subconsciously. In his blurred vision, a blue, radiant blade pierced out from his chest, hot blood gushing down.
"Ah, I wanted to ask you that question too." Shin'yu whispered in his ear, pressed against his back.
"Omoi, you..." Ginkaku was somewhat stunned, coughing up a mouthful of blood. His heart had been pierced.
Shin'yu withdrew his hand, the movement swift, as if pulling something out of a bag.
In the next instant, the enraged Kinkaku arrived in a flash, his roar like a thunderous boom!
"Daring to harm Ginkaku? Whether you're Omoi or not, die!"
His hair stood on end, and his two thick arms seized Shin'yu's left and right hands respectively. With a sudden burst of immense force, Shin'yu, or rather, Omoi, was torn in two, shattered organs flying everywhere, turning into a rain of blood that fell in a rustling shower!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of explosions sounded at their feet, and white smoke billowed, filling the valley in an instant. It turned out that Shin'yu had thrown out all of his smoke bombs at the last moment.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to... kill everyone!"
Kinkaku gasped like a wild beast, the surrounding air currents rising, and deep red Tailed Beast Chakra tore through his skin, emerging from the cracks and enveloping his entire body.
The dragon has a reverse scale; touching it means death. And Ginkaku was his reverse scale. Now, witnessing his brother being killed, he could no longer suppress the hatred in his heart!
The desire for slaughter swelled and surged!
Tailed Beast Chakra was inherently violent and difficult to control, and even the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths were no exception. At this moment, he was completely enraged, and even his remaining rationality was devoured by the will of the Tailed Beast!
The Chakra erupted, and the surging gale immediately dispersed most of the smoke. Even the ground beneath their feet couldn't withstand this heavy force, cracking inch by inch.
"Roar!!!"
Kinkaku roared to the sky, already in a semi-Tailed Beast form, with six red tails dancing ferociously.
He swung his claws, splitting the smoke in two, but the moment he burst out of the smoke, he was met with a pair of blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan, and a Bug-level genjutsu ready to be unleashed had been waiting for a long time.
"Tsukuyomi!"
The unexpected move caused Kinkaku, who was in a state of madness, to be directly hit. His eyes instantly lost focus, and he collapsed powerlessly, sliding to Uchiha Hikari's feet like a puppet with severed strings.
Light staggered, her pretty face instantly turning pale. Subduing Kinkaku had consumed too much of her mind, and blood trickled down her cheeks.
Kinkaku's consciousness had already fallen into the illusionary space of "Tsukuyomi," unable to extricate himself.
"Unexpectedly smooth." Shin'yu's voice came from the side as he patted Uchiha Hikari's shoulder. "Are you okay?"
When Kinkaku killed Omoi with his bare hands, his spirit body had already been drawn out the moment before, returning to his own body.
"Yeah, I didn't expect this guy to make me use so much Chakra." Uchiha Hikari covered her left eye, panting slightly.
"Time is of the essence, let's interrogate him now."
Suddenly, a white light flashed in the thin smoke. Shin'yu's pupils shrank, and he pulled Uchiha Hikari's body over, instantly activating his Mangekyo, and a pitch-black skeleton covered his entire body.
"Clang!!!"
A harsh metallic sound rang in his ears. Shin'yu, clad in Susanoo, stood firm as a mountain. A silver weapon resembling a door panel was knocked into the air, spinning and falling back into someone's hand.
Ginkaku!
At this moment, a wine-red Tailed Beast Chakra appeared on the surface of his body, and six long tails swayed freely. Unlike Kinkaku, his Chakra was translucent, and his eyes were agile and cunning, not at all like someone who had lost his mind.
"Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak?" Shin'yu narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile on his face. "So, among you two brothers, you are the one who truly knows how to skillfully control the Nine-Tails Chakra."
The Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak was a precise technique that borrowed the Tailed Beast Chakra without transforming into a Tailed Beast.
At this time, the Ninja still retained their personal consciousness, and all their abilities would be improved. Moreover, the Tailed Beast Chakra would heal the Ninja's wounds, leaving almost no scars, giving them extremely powerful combat capabilities.
In the original timeline, this was the signature move of Killer B, who was known as the "Perfect Jinchuriki."
"That's why I saved my life, isn't it?" Ginkaku tilted his head with a somewhat wicked smile, pointing to his chest. "Ah, so it was you bastard who ambushed me. This cut... it hurts a lot!"
The ground beneath his feet cracked instantly, and he transformed into a red shadow, pouncing forward. Because of his excessive speed, the Seven Star Sword turned into a blurry silver light!
But Shin'yu kept up with his speed, and a huge bone hand appeared out of nowhere, punching Ginkaku into the stone wall on the side.
"Rumble!"
Black energy surged and entwined, and another bony hand grew out of the ink-colored ribs outside Shin'yu's body. His fists smashed down one after another, and the stone wall exploded, stirring up dust and smoke.
This is the initial stage of the Susanoo, which can be used for attack, defense, protection, control and other purposes. In addition to its acclaimed defense, the power of the Susanoo using only its arms is also considerable!
Shin'yu only smashed a few punches and excavated a small cave on the spot.
Light was already stunned. She was very envious of this power, but for some reason, even though she awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan earlier than Shin'yu, she had not been able to awaken the Susanoo.
