Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 215 The Perfect Jinchūriki (Part 3)

Aokiji took a breath, suppressing his pounding heartbeat. He said it was easy, but when it came to actually releasing the Five-Tails, the pressure was still immense.

Stay calm, don't let the Five-Tails see your cowardly side.

First impressions matter.

Under normal circumstances, cultivating feelings for a tailed beast should be done gradually.

Aokiji dared to use the "powerful brick flying" technique because he had a good understanding of the tailed beasts, along with other factors.

Although the risks are high, the rewards are extremely high, and it can quickly build effective relationships.

Seeing that Aokiji was hesitant to break the seal, the Five-Tails snorted and mocked, "What's wrong? Are you too scared to break the seal now?"

"No, I was just thinking about how to break the seal."

Aokiji looked up, completely bewildered.

Wuwei was stunned at first, then realized that she seemed to have been tricked, her eyes turning bloodshot: "If you don't want to untie it, then don't want to untie it. Stop beating around the bush."

Aokiji put on an act of being wrongly accused, playing the classic trick of first giving despair and then hope: "Who lied to you? I really don't know how to break the seal."

"Don't you realize I've only been a Jinchūriki for a few days? It would be a miracle if I knew how to break the seal. Besides, this sealing technique was probably never designed with the intention of breaking the seal in mind from the very beginning."

After being rebuked like that, the Five-Tails fell silent.

It seems that what this little brat in front of me said makes some sense.

Could it be that I've really wronged this brat in front of me?

But as a tailed beast with a notorious reputation, it couldn't possibly lower its proud head to admit its mistake, and argued, "Can't you see that big sealing talisman on the door?"

Aokiji retorted confidently, "Nonsense, I'm not blind. I was just thinking the gaps in the fence must be pretty big. Couldn't you just use your tail to go through the fence and knock off the sealing talisman?"

"How could it be so easy? This kind of thing can only be torn off from the outside by someone else." Five-Tails seized the opportunity to launch a tirade: "You don't even know that?"

In response to the Five-Tails' taunts, Aokiji puffed out his chest, remaining perfectly justified: "Isn't it normal for a little brat like me to not know?"

Go-Tails scoffed, helpless at Aokiji's constant use of children as a shield.

Because they are children, they don't live long, so it's understandable that they don't understand some things.

Five-Tails urged, "Now that you know, hurry up and tear off the seal for me."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji kept his promise and leaped up, tearing the sealing talisman apart.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the Five-Tails was still stunned when they saw Aokiji tear off the sealing talisman without warning.

Aokiji glanced at the talisman in his hand, tilted his head, and looked puzzled: "I've already torn off the seal, but it's still there."

Feeling the sealing power on its body suddenly drop, the Five-Tails pawed the ground with its forelegs: "That's enough. I can handle this by myself in a bit."

It prepares to gather its strength and then sprint, smashing open this annoying sealed gate.

Upon seeing this, Aokiji quickly exclaimed, "You're not planning to just break the seal, are you?"

The Five-Tails countered, "Or what?"

Aokiji raised his hand to stop him: "Wait..."

Five-Tails' gaze sharpened: "You've changed your mind?"

"It's not that I'm backing down, I'm just wondering if breaking the seal like this will cause my chakra in the real world to explode like a geyser."

Wuwei asked, confused, "What's the problem?"

"Of course there's a problem. I've only recently become a Jinchūriki, and the village is monitoring me 24/7. If you do this, won't people find out that I released you without my permission?"

After finishing his sentence, Aokiji countered, "Do you think others would be so at ease with you in this state? You might not care, but if you do this, I might also be implicated."

Aokiji's explanation wasn't unreasonable, but to the Five-Tails, who harbored hostility towards humans, Aokiji was playing a trick, using the guise of doing it for its own good while still refusing to release it: "Stop arguing with me. After all this talk, you still won't let me out, will you?"

Aokiji opened his eyes and saw that the dog was anxious, so he comforted it, "Why are you in such a hurry? Did I say I wouldn't let you out? I just vaguely figured out how to let you out without damaging the door."

The Five-Tails was completely under Aokiji's control and was about to get angry, but upon hearing these words, it suddenly had nowhere to vent its anger.

Aokiji answered his opponent with actions, lifting his shirt, biting the hem to reveal the sealing pattern on his stomach, making a claw with blue chakra appearing on his five fingers, pressing it on top, and twisting it to the side.

The spiral lock in the center of the gate echoed each other, clicking and rattling. As soon as the lock on the gate was opened, the five tails couldn't wait to smash their way through the gate.

"roar!"

The roar was deafening, and the huge figure running wildly was accompanied by a strong wind that made Aokiji's hair fly back. In almost an instant, his wide-open black eyes reflected the huge body of the Five-Tails rushing straight at him.

Aokiji: ? ? ?

Outside the hospital.

The night sky, a crescent moon.

The cool moonlight added a touch of gentleness to the quiet night. Just then, a room that had already been darkened suddenly began to flicker, and one could sense an incomparably vast amount of chakra emanating from it.

The ANBU ninja who was on a mission to monitor the Jinchuriki was suddenly startled, sensing a powerful chakra from somewhere.

This is……

"call out."

A leaf fell, and the ANBU ninja on the treetop vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he had already broken through the window and was silently staring at the figure in the shadows through his eyes revealed by his mask.

Before they could speak, the figure in the shadows suddenly shouted, "Ah, there's a thief—!"

The ANBU ninja was taken aback.

Wasn't it just now that it looked like it was about to go berserk with its tailed beast?

What's going on now?

However, judging from his appearance, he probably hadn't gone berserk, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "We are ninjas sent by the Hokage to prevent the tailed beast inside you from going berserk."

"I see." Aokiji suddenly realized, then looked puzzled. "But why are you all here? I'm perfectly fine."

The members of the Anbu exchanged glances, communicating with each other. If the other party had truly gone berserk, they wouldn't have been able to remain so calm. But what was that massive chakra reaction just now? Could it be a misperception?

"Why are you standing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" a member of the secret service asked.

Aokiji looked like he'd rather not have said anything, because mentioning this made him angry: "Can't I get up to go to the bathroom? You guys scared me so much I almost peed myself. If that really happened, my reputation would be ruined."

Dark side members: ...

"Since you're alright, that's for the best."

The members of the Dark Division were all taciturn individuals. After uttering those words, they aloofly disappeared on the spot.

Aokiji let out a breath, finally managing to fool them.

If these ANBU ninjas had reacted a little faster, they probably would have seen Aokiji affected by the Five-Tails, with his eyes turning blue and the corners of his eyes turning red.

These two eye features are exactly the eye features of the Five-Tailed Fox.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be as easy to fool as it was before.

Before that, the spiritual world.

Facing the Five-Tails, which was aggressive and seemed intent on killing him, Aokiji remained calm and fearless, not even moving his legs.

Just as the five tails were about to crash into it, at this critical moment, the massive body suddenly stopped, almost touching, staring straight at the blue eyes as if uttering a questioning "Eh."

After a long silence, the Five-Tails slowly spoke, its tone appreciative: "Not bad~"

It didn't really intend to kill Aokiji just now; it only wanted to scare him. But if he showed the fear that those people had shown in the past, it would have charged at him without hesitation.

"I did not sense any malice from you."

Aokiji smiled.

Don't be fooled by his calm exterior; he's actually panicking inside.

Damn it.

The Five-Tails' speed was simply too fast; my body couldn't even react in time...

I never expected that this five-tailed creature would be so treacherous. I let it go, and it charged at me without even saying goodbye.

However, compared to the Five-Tails' lack of martial ethics, what truly surprised Aokiji was how fast the Five-Tails was.

Despite its enormous size, the explosive power it unleashed in that instant was terrifyingly powerful.

At that moment, Aokiji noticed that the Five-Tails was spewing out a vapor-like gas: "What is that vapor-like stuff coming out of you?"

"This is my ability," the Five-Tails explained to him. "Boil Release."
