With 3 members of Akatsuki dealt with, Naruto and his gang decided to take a breather and sat down on the side looking at Kakuzu getting thrashed around like a bag of sand.
"Are we really going to watch this happen?" Kakashi said in a low voice as he looked at Kakuzu who had entered his final form by calling back his mask monsters.
3 of his mask had been broken and by looking at the situation he could at most last 2 more minutes.
"Of course. It will be easier to talk with 6 tails once he vents out his anger." Naruto looked at the fight with a smile.
Meanwhile, Kakuzu was sweating like a pig as he realized there was no way out of this mess. His three partners were already dead and he himself had no way to deal with this Jinchuriki. He didn't even dare to think about fighting the three sitting behind him.
Just as he was thinking of his escape route Six-tails attacked again and this time he just stood there and let himself get hit.
Utakata's dark red hand punched Kakuzu right in the middle of the chest sending him flying through the forest and one of his mask on his back cracked. But despite having his mask broken Kakuzu displayed a smirk and kicked the ground sending himself deep in the mist.
Six-tails had launched him on the opposite side of where Naruto was resting. Instead of blocking the blow or dodging them Kakuzu decided to sacrifice his mask and use Six-tails punch to propel himself towards another direction.
He knew the mist might not be able to hide him from the trio but he decided to take the chance. If Six-tails lost his target then it would change his attack towards the Naruto and co. If that happened then he might just survive.
With this thought in his head, Kakuzu gave his all into his leg and blasted himself towards the sea. As long as he could get himself in the water then there was a chance of survival.
"Ugh, I should have refused the mission when Pain decided to have 2 teams moving for the same target," Kakuzu grumbled as he ran for his life. He was already thinking of refusing since the reward would be split 4 ways but accepted anyway since Pain had given the order. He had nothing but regret for choosing this mission.
Kakuzu gave out a smile seeing the Ocean was just a few steps away from him. There wasn't any noise behind him which gave him relief. Six-tails had probably changed its target towards the trio which would keep them busy.
Just as he was about to jump in the ocean, Kakuzu heard a loud boom behind him. Turning back he saw a giant ball of chakra shaped like a Shuriken heading straight for him. The giant trees and rocks in its path were obliterated. He dodged to the side but one of the blades of chakra shuriken managed to slice him in half and exploded once it landed on the ocean.
Meanwhile, Naruto was standing in front of Six-tails with his Kurama's chakra activated. Yellow chakra cloak covered him in bright light and his red eyes with vertical slits gave out a menacing aura.
"No wonder they call him a Yellow Nightmare," Kakashi said as looked at the explosion happening afar. Since Naruto didn't act much afterward, the RasenShuriken he just threw probably hit its mark. The range and power of that technique was something he never expected from Rasengan.
"Mm, Yellow Nightmare is a fitting name indeed," Guy said from the side in a serious manner. Looking at the chakra levels of Naruto, he expected he needed to open at least his 7th gate to fight equally with Naruto.
Utakata who was under Saiken's influence gave out a roar and launched himself towards Naruto. The speed was as fast as Guy in his 6th gate as Utakata arrived before Naruto in a blink.
Just as the punch from Utakata was about to land on Naruto, 9 tails emerged from his back and pinned Utakata down on the ground. Utakata struggled as his red body turned blue and acted like a snake trying to get out of Naruto's grasp but he was not successful.
With Utakata pinned down on the ground, Naruto closed his eyes to enter the beast plane of Tailed beast. Inside the mindscape, Naruto found a Giant white slug with six tails with Utakata asleep on top of its head.
Unlike other tailed beasts, Saiken was much more gentle but still, he had yet to form a bond with Utakata. "Kurama! I never thought you'd submit to a human." Saiken said after he saw the arrival of Naruto and Kurama behind him.
"There are very few humans, that are worthy to wield our powers and this little kid here is one such individual. I do not find anything wrong with forming a bond with him." Kurama replied in a calm manner.
"Oh, I never thought I would be hearing these words from you but I'll take it. Though our father wanted us to have a proper life, it is impossible considering our size and abilities. Kurama, tell me how are we supposed to live. Are we supposed to spend the rest of our life being caged within these mortals." Saiken questioned in a defeated manner.
"I don't know," Kurama answered back looking at Naruto. As much as he wanted to be free, there were humans such as Madara and Hashirama who were capable of fighting and even defeat them. Despite their vast powers, it was impossible for them to escape from humans.
Naruto was surprised by Saiken's question as well. The tailed beast were intelligent creatures and had every right to enjoy their life as well but throughout history, they were caged inside human and used as weapons for wars.
Naruto was one of the humans guilty of using tailed beasts for power as he was even using Kurama's chakra at the moment. After thinking for a moment, Naruto came up with an idea.
"While it is impossible for you to have a peaceful life in Elemental world, how about I send you guys to Summoning realm," Naruto said looking at Kurama and Saiken.
"That would work but, if I tailed beasts are taken out of Jinchuriki then they would die. I don't think you're the type to give up your life for my freedom." Kurama said thinking for a bit.
Summoning realm was where Gorudo and Gamabunta lived. Since the monster of their size could live there then the tailed beasts would fit right in. As long as they didn't have any conflict they could live a happy and peaceful life.
"Of course I'm not thinking of giving up my life. But you can always wait for my life to end. Human's life expectancy isn't that long so I think you can wait for my life to come to an end." Naruto said to Kurama.
"We've lived like this for centuries I don't mind waiting for few more decades. How about you Saiken? Do you agree to my host's plan?" Kurama questioned satisfied with Naruto's proposal.
"Very well then. I agree with your host's proposal. What about our brothers?" Saiken asked again agreeing to Naruto.
"I agree to his proposal."
"Me too."
Two voice echoed as Shukaku and Matatabi came forward with Gaara and Yugito sitting on top of their heads. Naruto had already formed a mental link with Gaara and Yugito in their previous encounter.
He forgot to make a connection with Bee and Guyki while he was at Kumogakure. Naruto decided to travel around making links with the tailed beast and have them transfer to Summoning realm when it was convenient.
Naruto gave a nod to Gaara and Yugito and looked around in satisfaction. He already had four tailed beasts in his circle. As much as he wanted to have Kurama's power, Naruto felt that every tailed beast had the right to enjoy their life without being imprisoned within a human's body.
So, I read everyone's comment and I know I've made mistakes and not just one. I find it weird nobody mentioned Deidara's age which is 16 at the moment. I think I added him a bit too early but let's just ignore this as well.
I have no intention of correcting my mistakes in the previous chapter and I can't guarantee I won't make mistakes in the future as well. But I hope you guys will enjoy this fanfic despite its flaws.
