Chapter 18: Do You Want to Become a Bijuu?

Seeing Yagura already out of Obito's control, several anbus and guards appeared inside the office and tried to assassinate him.

"Don't even think of it. Bijuu Kata: First Kata - Chasing Thread!"

Zokuto in his Bijuu Chakra Mode shot out several sharp chakra thread which caught all the assassins unprepared. Some of them got killed instantly, some got knocked unconscious, and some of them managed to evade the attack. However, those evaded chakra thread turned back and chased after those assassin. The other thread that managed to kill or incapacitate assassins, also chased after the other assassin who is able to evade them. The addition of chasing thread further decreased the number of still conscious assassins. In the end, only two of the assassins are left.

"Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes!"

The last two assassin who is formerly anbu of the Mizukage stopped moving when they got shackled by so many stakes inside a sharingan genjutsu. Kurama jumped from Zokuto's shoulder and knocked them, making these two fall unconscious.

"Hei! Don't just stand there. Help me tie them up." said Zokuto to the other guards and anbu who was looking at all the happening in shock and confusion.

"Those guys are under Obito's control. That's why there want to attack Mizukage the moment he regained his senses. Otherwise Mizukage will kill them after he fully in control of his body." explained Zokuto.

"He is right. Go, tie those people." commanded Yagura weakly. He just regained back his consciousness and control over his body.

The guard hesitated for a moment but still took out some wire to tie down all those unconscious assassins. Those who got killed were gathered and placed into a paper seal to be cremated.

"Thanks..."

"Uzumaki Zokuto. Just call me Zokuto."

"Thanks Zokuto, for freeing me from that Uchiha Madara." said Yagura.

"Actually, you are being controlled by someone else. Well that guy is still related to Uchiha Madara. His name is Uchiha Obito." explained Zokuto. "Just now, I also already erased the genjutsu that controlled the Sanbi."

"Thanks once again. I don't know how I will be able to return this favor of yours."

"Actually that's easy. I want to make a deal with you."

"What kind of deal?"

"Do you want to become a Bijuu?"

"Huh!?"

...

In Tonika Village.

In Tonika Academy, Naruto is helping some kids to train their ninjutsu.

"Naruto-kun, can I ask you a question?"

Suddenly, a six year old girl asked Naruto.

"Oh Kurume-chan. What do you want to ask."

"Um, Naruto-kun, where is Zokuto sensei?"

"He...is busy with something." Naruto was surprised with the question. He is also wondering where did Zokuto go.

"Is he well?"

"What is he doing?"

"When will he come back here?"

When the first asked, the rest of the kids also brought their question, making Naruto a bit irritated. 'Zokuto is really famous here.'

"He is on a mission to rescue someone." is the only reply Naruto can say. Zokuto has informed them that he is away to rescue a person from the Uchiha clan. However, he haven't came back since then. Naruto feel a bit worried. 'Did he encounter some problem?'

"Enough with the question. Continue with your training." said Naruto.

"Look, look! Its Zokuto sensei!"

A kid spotted Zokuto walking toward them. The other kid screamed in excitement. Naruto also sighed in relief.

"Um, sorry to disappoint you guys. But, I'm just a clone." said Zokuto.

"Hei, Zokuto sensei. Naruto said that you have gone out of village to rescue someone. Did you succeed?" a seven year old kid asked.

"I did and I already brought the person here." nodded Zokuto.

"Then, why is your main body not here? Did something happen?" asked Naruto. The other kid looked at Zokuto, expecting some answer.

"My main body has gone to Kirigakure. I don't know the specific thing he want to do, but he should be alright." said Zokuto.

"Is sensei going to save more people?" a kid around five asked.

"I'm not sure. well, he might or might not save anyone. Okay guys, back to training." said Zokuto, trying to change the topic. The kids agreed and started doing their training.

...

Back to Zokuto at Kirigakure.

"Zokuto, what do you mean becoming a Bijuu?" asked Yagura

"Let me explain. My Mangekyou Sharingan ability can help someone to achieve the goal to become Bijuu."

"Wait a minute. I thought only an Uchiha have the sharingan dojutsu. How come you, an Uzumaki can wield a sharingan?" Yagura.

"You might not know this. Recently, there is a golden screen appearing once in a while on the sky. It usually will list some kind of ranking. Whoever got listed in the ranking will receive some reward. In the last Genin Fighter rank, I was lucky to be listed in it. So, I was rewarded with an advanced sharingan called Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan." explained Zokuto.

"There is such a thing? Sigh, it seems I was being controlled for a very long period." sighed Mizukage.

"Back to my Mangekyou Sharingan ability, my right eye ability allowed me to steal half of someone soul forcefully. However, if that someone volunteer themselves for me to steal their soul, I can fully steal his soul out of his body.

My left eye on the other hand use that stolen soul to grant any non-living thing a life." revealed Zokuto. He added "So, using this ability, I can steal your soul and put it inside a bijuu's chakra body, transforming you into a Bijuu."

"That's really an incredible ability." nodded Yagura. "Then, what about the bijuu's soul? Will it disappear if I become another soul in it's chakra body?"

"It will not. First of all, when a Jinchuuriki is killed together with the bijuu, the bijuu will revive again somewhere else. Secondly, Its soul is more resilience than us human. Therefore, it is not wise to put your soul in a bijuu body chakra that still retain it's soul. That soul might swallow your soul. I can only put a soul in a non-living thing, mean anything that has no soul." said Zokuto.

"Do you mean to steal the bijuu soul first?"

"Correct. If I want to turn you into a Bijuu, I need to first remove the Bijuu's soul and put your soul in it to make you a Bijuu. However, there is still another way for you to become Bijuu." said Zokuto. "Do you know that Bijuu who lost its chakra body will eventually recover back it's lost chakra body? That is mean, if I took some chakra body from a bijuu and put your soul in it, you soul will function as the trigger for that chakra body to recover its former self. When that happen, you will still turn into a fully and trully a Bijuu." added Zokuto.

Continuing again, Zokuto said "So, my deal stand, do you want to become a Bijuu?"

"Why are you keep suggesting this to me?"

"Let me be frank with you. The one who control you before will certainly come back to take the Bijuu in your body. Also, when he come, he will destroy Kirigakure" said Zokuto.

"Do you know him?"

"I more than know him. For once, he killed my parent."

This statement made Yagura stop his subsequent question.

"Forget about that. Do you agree to turn into Bijuu or not?" asked Zokuto forcefully.

'Why is he keep asking me this?' thought Yagura.

"Ah, your face is saying why am I keep asking you this? Well that's easy. You see this?" Zokuto pointed at Kurama on his shoulders. "He is the nine tailed Kyuubi. I agreed with him to collect all of his sibling, mean all the Bijuu. That's why I came here to collect Sanbi. However, I still want to maintain the power of Bijuu here in Kirigakure. That's why I want you to become a Bijuu after I take Sanbi away. This way you will be able to protect Kiri on your own."

This time Yagura felt threatened. He is already in a very weak state right now. So, it will be not wise to fight Zokuto with a Kyuubi helping him. Also, Zokuto seem's only interested in taking the Bijuu and not going to harm the village.

"If I agree to become a bijuu, can you promise me that you will not endanger Kiri?"

"You have my word. You also know that if I really want to endanger Kiri, I already have done that before, right?"

Yagura can only nod to that. He knew Zokuto have the power to do so. "Then, I agree to your deal."

"Alright. Please cooperate with me then." A chakra hand caught Yagura, and Zokuto brought him away from the Mizukage's office. The anbu and the guard followed in tow, worried about their Mizukage's life. However, Yagura convinced them that he will be alright.

After that, Zokuto brought Yagura into a remote place. "Here should be far enough not to create any disturbance to Kirigakure."

Zokuto then entered Yagura's seal together with Kurama. Kurama did not hesitate and tried his best to convince Sanbi to join him and Zokuto's bijuu group. Sanbi who already listened to Zokuto talking with Yagura before easily and readily agreed. Zokuto then told his plan to Sanbi before he released Sanbi from Yagura's body.

From there, Zokuto then started his bijuu project.

"Soul Stealing!"

He took out Yagura's soul out of his body. He then did the same to Sanbi and kept his soul in the sistem.

"Soul Granting"

Before the bijuu chakra body started to dissipate, he inserted Yagura's soul in it. A moment later, the three tailed beast opened its eyes.

"How do you feel Mizukage?" asked Zokuto.

"So, this is how it feel to be a bijuu. This energy, this power...I feel like the most powerful being in the world!" exclaimed Yagura excitedly.

"Well, try to transform into the human form first." Suggested Zokuto. Yagura did just that and he turned into his human form, identical to his unmoving body on the ground.
