Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 216 The Perfect Jinchūriki (The End)

A hint of surprise flashed across Aokiji's eyes as he thought to himself, "No wonder he possesses such explosive power."

The nine tailed beasts each have their own unique characteristics, among which the Five-Tails' ability is Boil Release.

After using this Boil Release, one can raise their chakra to boiling point and then unleash it instantly, greatly enhancing both speed and power.

Among so many escape techniques, those that can "enhance" physical techniques are extremely rare.

Aokiji, who became the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, also had the means to acquire this ability.

Of all the tailed beast abilities, the Five-Tails' ability is the one that best suits Aokiji.

More importantly, Boil Release can also be fused with Ice Release to achieve Bloodline Elimination.

Thinking about all this, Aokiji couldn't help but recall the scene of him getting Boil Release.

As if he had thought of something, his longing expression suddenly turned somber.

What a coincidence! Everything just happened to be so coincidental.

There must be a reason behind everything.

Why the Five-Tails, and not any other tailed beast? It's as if it was tailor-made for him.

He has this suspicion, but he doesn't yet have enough evidence to prove it.

The thought of being targeted by that guy sent a chill down Aokiji's spine.

When exactly did he start targeting me, and what was his purpose in doing so?

Even though that guy is quite old now, dealing with me is still too easy for him. I have no chance to resist and can only let him do as he pleases. Our strength is simply on a completely different level.

When Gotae saw Aokiji suddenly break out in a cold sweat, he was puzzled. Could it be that he had scared Aokiji?

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem to be like that.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing..." Aokiji replied dismissively, then cut to the chase: "You just said that besides me, you met other people with the Sharingan, and that person even managed to control you, is that right?"

Wuwei was taken aback, not understanding why he would suddenly ask such a question. She adopted a defiant and arrogant demeanor: "So what if I am?"

"What does that person's face look like? Are the Sharingan markings noticeably different from mine?"

Faced with a barrage of urgent questions, the Five-Tails adopted an impatient attitude: "You're just a mere human, why should I tell you?"

It's disgraceful to have one's history controlled by someone else at a glance, and the Five-Tails has no interest in revealing its own shortcomings in detail.

The tailed beasts' blatant betrayal caused Aokiji to lower his head slightly.

Aokiji's silent actions were observed by Gobuki, whose eyes gleamed with smugness. Now the initiative was in its hands, and it could do whatever it wanted.

After a while, Aokiji raised his head and said casually, "Oh~"

This nonchalant attitude really got the Five-Tails off. Based on its understanding of humans, shouldn't Aokiji be furious at this moment?

Then they say things like "ungrateful" in a fit of pique.

It's not what I imagined.

Seemingly seeing through the Five-Tails' little scheme, Aokiji smiled slightly: "Are you thinking now whether I should get angry and say things like 'ungrateful'?"

Damn it, they guessed it right...

The five-tailed fox snorted, raised its proud head, and refused to answer.

In response, Aokiji generously replied, "Well, it's understandable that you have this attitude. I understand."

The tailed beast was taken aback.

Has this Jinchūriki come to understand himself again?

"Ultimately, the reason you treat me this way stems from the unequal status we have now." Aokiji picked at his nails, speaking with leisurely ease: "To give you an example, would you care about the feeling of someone on the street who could be crushed by an ant at any moment?"

Upon hearing this, Wuwei laughed happily: "Comparing yourself to an ant, you human are quite self-aware."

"That's right. In my eyes, you're no different from an ant. You're both so small and weak. I could crush you into mincemeat with a single kick."

Aokiji shrugged and casually teased, "That's really going too far."

"I was just stating the facts."

Seeing that the Five-Tails remained arrogant, Aokiji knew that trying to win people over with virtue would be useless; he had to win them over with "virtue."

The problem is, I can't beat this wretch.

Thinking of this, Aokiji's eyes lit up: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential."

"???"

"People grow. Just because I can't beat you now doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future. In three to seven years, I'll definitely be able to beat you to a pulp. Do you believe me?"

At the last moment, Aokiji really wanted to show off and say something about a three-year agreement, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that three years might backfire, so he decided to stretch the time to seven years. By then, his strength would be basically complete, and he should be able to take on the Five-Tails solo after seven years without much trouble.

Anyway, the tailed beasts have lived for so long, seven years is just a blink of an eye for them.

Wuwei scoffed. This brat is only so young. In seven years, he'll just be an adult and he's already trying to beat him up. He's really ignorant of his own limitations.

"You're spouting nonsense. Believe me, I'll eat you right now."

Aokiji remained composed and resolute: "If you kill me, you will die too..."

Five-tailed snort coldly.

Tailed beasts are immortal, but that doesn't mean they enjoy dying.

Moreover, even if he were to be resurrected, he would probably still be captured by humans, sealed into the body of a stranger, and then transferred to another body when the Jinchūriki was no longer able to survive, and so on and so forth.

Rather than doing this, it's better to stay inside this Jinchūriki's body for a while and see how it goes. At least this Jinchūriki is actually quite pleasing to the eye, and it has expressed many of its innermost thoughts.

"Little Wu, how about we make a bet?"

"bet?"

"Hmm, I bet you don't understand?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want?"

"I won't waste time with any empty talk. Let's start from scratch and settle things based on strength. If I defeat you within seven years, you'll live peacefully with me, and if necessary, you'll lend a hand. How about that?"

The Five-Tails narrowed its eyes: "What if you lose?"

"I'm at your disposal."

Go-Tails wasn't interested in Aokiji's answer: "That's useless to me."

"This is a difficult situation..." Aokiji lowered his head, stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then looked up: "Do you have a dream?"

Five-Tails was taken aback: "Why do you ask that?"

It's grown so big, and I've never asked it what it's supposed to do. Even the Sage of Six Paths never said that. He just gave it a few instructions and then left it to its own devices.

The kid in front of me was the first person to say that.

Aokiji replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't it obvious? You don't seem to be interested in me much either, so I'll just have to find something you want to do and do it for you~"

Wuwei lowered her head and pondered seriously for a moment. Then she raised her head, her previous arrogant attitude replaced by a gentler tone: "Alright, I agree. If you can defeat me head-on, I can help you."

Aokiji nodded: "What is your dream?"

"I don't know, I'll tell you when I think of it."

"In that case, it's settled then."

Aokiji wore a hearty smile.

In this way, the Five-Tails has basically finished deceiving everyone. This is the first step to becoming a perfect Jinchūriki, and also the most difficult step.

If we can defeat the Five-Tails head-on in the future, becoming the perfect Jinchuriki is a certainty.

That guy probably knows everything about me, but there's one thing he doesn't know: I can become the world's first perfect Jinchūriki.

Five-Tails asked, "Kid, what's your name?"

"Uchiha Aokiji." Aokiji chuckled, "You've been inside me for days now, how could you not know my name?"

"Who cares about the names of mere humans?"

"So why do you care now?"

"I'm only giving you a tiny bit of respect because you released me from your cage. Be grateful for this kindness."

"Oh~~~~"

Quite arrogant, huh...

"Hey, what kind of look is that?"

"It's nothing, hehe..."

"..."
