One tailed beast - Shukaku

Inside a Dark, cold, sandy, space. A desolate expanse, devoid of grace. No warmth, no life. Just the echoes of the dark abyss.

As Mizuna walk in the sandy darkness, he hears the sound of sand moving towards one area. A humongous body with a cat-like appearance begins to glow with a warm, golden light, and its features become more pronounced. Its golden eyes also glow with an intense, fiery energy

It stared at Mizuna and spoke "Why do you want to meet my esteemed self? And you Chomei come out"

A long, serpentine body covered in grey scales, with seven long wings that sprout from its back. Each wing is adorned with a large, glowing red orb that pulses with energy. Its eyes glow red and appear behind Mizuna

"Shukaku it has been a while" Chomei flew up, its body was as huge as a small mountain

Mizuna walked towards Shukaku and said "Please become my partner Shukaku, I promise I will not mistreat you" he then looked at Chomei

"He is telling the truth, look at me Shukaku, I'm free like how I used to be before that wood user captured me"

"Free? I don't know what happened to you Chomei but you look like you are under his command, you even let him use your chakra freely, my esteemed self will not become someone like you"

 "Hahaha" Shukaku laugh menacingly the strong winds around him pick up loose sand and other particles from the ground, reducing visibility and causing a dust storm

Chomei flapped its seven wings, and the strong gust of wind blocked the dust storm coming towards Mizuna.

Chomei and Shukaku started to collect chakra for a tailed beast bomb, a testament to the incredible power and ferocity of the tailed beast that can level a small town

"Stop it the two of you, Chomei we are here to talk let Shukaku speak his mind"

Chomei stopped and so did Shukaku

"Do you intend to stay here in this prison for eternity Shukaku? Or do you want to leave this place with us?"

Shukaku hesitates, unsure of what to do. Part of him wants to believe that Chomei is telling the truth and that this could be the chance of a lifetime.

But another part of him is screaming "Be careful" and warning him not to get caught up in something that might end up being a lie.

Shukaku begins tapping its foot on the dunes below, while immersed in thought

He looked directly into Mizuna's eyes and said "My esteemed self will leave with you"

"Sharingan"

Shukaku froze in an instant

Mizuna approached Shukaku

"It's nostalgic to see and talk to you for real Shukaku, let's talk more once this is all over," Mizuna said seemingly remembering a part of his past

[Congratulations for acquiring one slave]

A group of shinobi stood in a semi-circle around Mizuna, their faces etched with concern and worry

"Did you succeed son?"

Mizuna nodded and pointed towards his shoulder, a miniature Shukaku appeared on it "Greeting! My esteemed self is named Shukaku or what you Shinobis called the one-tail beast"

"What!?"

Asami and Hirabi approached Mizuna and grabbed his left and right arm and asked

"Is that the one-tailed beast? Why is it so small?"

They tried to touch it but no matter how hard they tried Shukaku seemed to elude them as they only managed to grab a few pieces of sand each time

Mizuna nodded and said "Yes he is indeed the one tail" And he will be part of our team now

Mizuna noticed the shocked old man.

His eyes were wide open, his pupils dilated, and his eyebrows raised in a mixture of disbelief and horror. His skin was pale, with a hint of greyish tone, as if the news had sucked the colour out of him. His lips were parted, as if he was about to scream, but no sound came out.

"Old man, just like Shukaku, you are also free now"

"H-how am I still alive?"

"I didn't forcefully break the seal you know, he joined me on his own will. And well, I did some other things I cannot say"

"Mizuna my esteemed self think that this old man named Bunpuku will be a great help to you"

"I know, he is a powerful sealing master and a relative of the Kazekage"

The old man, sensing the gaze of the younger man, looked up and met his eyes. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension.

The old man's eyes narrowed, his face twisted into a mixture of confusion and suspicion

Sometime later

Mizuna looked at the group gathered and asked "It's time to start the last part of our plan, are you all ready?"

Hiyori, Kimi, Asami, Hirabi, Miss Jonin, and Pakira looked at each other and they nodded resolutely

Their eyes burned with a fierce intensity, a burning fire that fueled their resolve to overcome any obstacle that lay ahead

"We are ready"

Mizuna and the others left the temple and moved stealthily through the dark streets of the sandy village towards a certain direction.

While on their way a humongous shadow of a beast cast over the sandy village

"ROAR!!!" "ROAR!!"

A beast's roar grew louder and louder, causing the townsfolk to wake up from their sleep and cower in fear. Some that were still on the streets stumbled backwards, tripping over each other in their haste to get away from the creature

The humongous beast's gaze swept over the village, taking in the terrified faces of its inhabitants. It seemed to be searching for something - or someone.

And then, its eyes locked onto two Shinobis running towards him, one of the Shinobis was wearing a hat with Wind Shadow engraved on it.
