Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　If the tailed beasts are allowed to run rampant, the entire Land of Water will likely suffer a major disaster.

　Although Ye Chen was confident he could suppress the Three-Tails with a flick of his wrist, he didn't act immediately. He thought the Three-Tails would take the initiative and destroy everything in front of him.

　But the next moment, the Three-Tails' strange behavior completely surprised him.

　The Three-Tailed Isobu roared to the sky, its cry filled with battle lust! Everyone thought it would wreak havoc! However, the Three-Tailed Isobu leaped hundreds of meters into a nearby lake and vanished instantly.

　In the same spot, only the corpse of the former Three-Tails Jinchuriki lay motionless.

　It's obvious that the Three-Tails escaped, breaking the seal and abandoning its Jinchūriki.

Chapter 392 The Last Stand of the Water Shadow

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　The Three-Tails fled, running away in fear without the slightest hesitation.

　As one of the nine tailed beasts, it should have its own dignity befitting a tailed beast, but this guy went against the grain.

　If the same situation happened to Nine-Tailed Fox, that stinky fox would probably have turned the world upside down by now.

　It really is a tortoise; the saying "a thousand-year-old tortoise, a ten-thousand-year-old turtle" is absolutely true. It truly cherishes its life.

　The Third Mizukage was also dumbfounded. What was going on? The tailed beast had abandoned its jinchūriki and gone off to have fun. I brought you out because of this. The Mizukage's idea of ​​having the Three-Tails hold off Yoruichi stemmed from the Three-Tails' hard shell and the tailed beast's immortal body.

　First, the three tails are turtles, and turtles have very high defense.

　Furthermore, the existence of tailed beasts is very peculiar; they are difficult to destroy with physical attacks, and their chakra is extremely powerful, far beyond what humans can compare to.

　The Third Mizukage intended to use the Three-Tails' power to hold off Yoruichi, and ultimately defeat him together with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

　It seems the plan is useless now! Ye Chen came to Kirigakure for the Three-Tails' chakra seed, and now that the Three-Tails has escaped, there's no point in him staying. Naturally, he'll go after the Three-Tails.

　However, it seems unlikely that the Third Mizukage will let him leave so easily, given the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

　His expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Now, who will go first?"

　Ye Chen looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the Third Mizukage, a thoughtful expression on his face, as if considering who to start with.

　The already bruised and battered Seven Ninja Swordsmen were terrified by Ye Chen's gaze; at this moment, they had no will to fight left.

　Even seasoned veterans who had faced countless life-or-death situations were terrified of Ye Chen's power.

　Rather than saying the Three-Tails ran away, it's more accurate to say that the Three-Tails was terrified of Ye Chen's power and had absolutely no will to fight. If even the Three-Tails couldn't handle it, what could they possibly do? Continue fighting and they'd only be throwing their lives away! At this moment, there wasn't even a need for words; the remaining six people acted in perfect unison, turning and fleeing immediately! They even used their signature assassination ninjutsu as cover! "Hidden Mist Technique!"

　The seven ninja swordsmen who escaped also unleashed a technique called "Nekko," a highly sophisticated silent assassination technique that cleverly concealed their vision; it is a signature ninjutsu of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

　It's also great for escaping; it's an essential skill for home travel, fighting, and running away.

　They felt they had no chance of winning against Ye Chen.

　Nightfall's presence was like an insurmountable mountain, forcing them to retreat! The Third Mizukage stared blankly at this scene. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who had been ferocious in previous battles in the ninja world, killing countless people, were now too afraid to face Nightfall, fleeing just like the Three-Tails! That… isn't the Hidden Mist Technique for assassination? You're using it to escape! What use are you to the Hidden Mist? You're a disgrace! The Third Mizukage wanted to unleash a torrent of profanities, but the words stuck in his throat.

　"Third Mizukage, do you still wish to fight?"

　Ye Chen revealed an amused smile.

　"Konoha Rakshasa, what exactly do you want?"

　The Third Mizukage asked sternly.

　"As you can see, just as I just said..."

　I only wish to borrow the tailed beasts of Kirigakure; I have no ill intentions towards you whatsoever.”

　Ye Chen replied

　"That sounds nice, borrowing a tailed beast."

　Don't you know that tailed beasts are a village's ultimate weapon? Konoha may be the largest village in the ninja world, but we...

　(1/2)

　Hidden isn't someone to be trifled with either. If you're here on Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders to destroy this place...

　As the Third Mizukage, I can tell you definitively that I'm ready to fight to the bitter end.

　The Third Mizukage spoke vehemently.

　Hiruzen Sarutobi

　Ye Chen felt that the Third Hokage had suddenly become the scapegoat again, but he was too lazy to explain.

　After all, behind every war lies politics, and in the eyes of the Third Mizukage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was nothing more than a schemer.

　Looking at the Third Mizukage before him, a Mizukage with little presence in the history of Naruto, who was even once controlled by Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, with the entire Hidden Mist Village becoming a tool for Madara Uchiha to instigate the Fourth Shinobi World War.

　Actually, he was still a little pitiful! Ye Chen didn't want to get entangled with the Third Mizukage anymore; according to his Observation Haki, the Three-Tails was getting further and further away from him.

　At this rate, the Three-Tails might really become a wild tailed beast and never be found again! The Land of Water has many rivers and lakes; who knows how long it would take to find a tailed beast.

　Whoosh! Ye Chen's figure vanished from the spot, leaving the Third Mizukage completely bewildered.

　"That's it"

　The Third Mizukage couldn't understand why Konoha Rasetsu had suddenly left. With her strength, she could have easily killed him and plunged Kirigakure into chaos.

　But why did he suddenly change his mind? At that moment, the young Kisame emerged from behind a hidden tree, knelt on one knee before the Third Mizukage, and respectfully said, "Mizukage-sama."

　The Third Mizukage looked at Kisame and Samehada behind him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said, "From now on, you are the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the master of Samehada."

Chapter 393 Five-Tails vs. Three-Tails

　This content is being published for the first time (first update).

　The Land of Water, a vast lake

　The lakes cover an immeasurable area, stretching as far as the eye can see, seemingly without end; the name "Land of Water" truly lives up to its name.

　Ye Chen floated above the lake, his brows furrowed. This was the place where the Three-Tailed Fox had last disappeared.

　Unfortunately, the lake was too large, and even with his Observation Haki and Sage Mode perception, he could only sense it very vaguely.

　"We have to find a way to get it out, but unfortunately the Three-Tails is too lazy and has no desire to fight."

　Ye Chen muttered to himself

　Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is basically an instinct of all living things. Who would provoke someone stronger than themselves? Naturally, people will pick on the weakest target.

　Moreover, it's the Three-Tails! The most bizarre of the nine tailed beasts.

　"Summoning spell!"

　Ye Chen formed a hand seal and struck the air, unleashing a summoning spell.

　Boom! A dense white mist suddenly appeared, its volume enormous, within which a gigantic, inhuman figure was faintly visible.

　Visibly, its five enormous tails swayed and danced slowly, creating enormous waves the moment it plunged into the lake.

　The Five-Tails, Kokuo, has arrived! Ye Chen stands atop the Five-Tails and says, "You and the Three-Tails are both tailed beasts, and your minds are connected."

　The three-tailed creature is in the lake. Contact it and tell it you mean no harm.

　The Five-Tails sneezed, two streams of hot white light shooting from its nostrils, and said, "The Three-Tails, Isobu, is extremely lazy and reclusive; the chances of it being connected to us are not very high."

　Who knows, it might already be slumbering at the bottom of the lake.

　"Rakshasa, you already possess most of the tailed beast's chakra; you can actually use Six Paths Sage Mode."

　Five-Tails couldn't help but say

　"I need everything to be perfect!"

　Ye Chen said

　He has only met the requirements to use the Six Paths Sage Technique, but he still cannot achieve a truly perfect Six Paths Sage Technique.

　Now that we've come this far, we should strive for perfection. Otherwise, what's the point of all this running around? "Alright!"

　Five-Tails had no choice but to agree.

　It's its own fault for signing a contract with this human; if it doesn't help him, its own life probably won't be peaceful either.

　Thus, it released the telepathic abilities unique to tailed beasts, continuously spreading outwards across the lake.

　Tailed Beast Consciousness Communication Space

　Go-o: "Isobu, here you are!"

　Sanwei: "Not here!"

　Five-tailed Fox: ""

　Three-Tailed Fox: "King Mu, what do you want! How did you get out of a human body? Are you as free as me now?"

　Five-Tails: "That's about right. I need to discuss something with you. Come ashore for a bit."
