At the same time, he really wanted to shout it out loud that he was really not the weakest of the tailed beasts.

The strength of a tailed beast cannot be simply measured by the number of its tails; it must also be measured based on various fields, environments, and combat objectives.

Otherwise, even the most unruly Kurama, who symbolizes the aggregation of all calamities, cannot defeat the Three-Tails in the ocean, nor can he contend with the Four-Tails in the lava zone.

In terms of comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities, his strength is definitely among the top three tailed beasts!

But all of that... never mind, it doesn't matter anymore.

This guy in front of me is a freak.

Aside from the Six Paths Elder, he had never seen such a powerful human before!

The prefix, especially considering how young they are!!

"However, before that, remember to stay away from the Akatsuki ninjas."

"They are hunting the tailed beasts and intend to revive the Ten-Tails."

Huang continued to add.

After all, he didn't want his newly subdued Tailed Beast followers to be killed by the Akatsuki organization without any explanation.

Upon hearing this reminder, Shukaku immediately sprang to attention, unleashing its most primal ferocity.

Hunting Tailed Beasts?

[Hmph, even if those scoundrels had a hundred lives, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Lord Shouhe!]

When such a thought arises in his mind, he tries to blurt it out.

However, Huang only glanced at one thing and immediately saw through the guy's arrogant nature, so he continued:

"At this point, that organization has successfully hunted down the Two-Tails Matatabi, the Four-Tails Son Goku, and the Five-Tails Kokuo."

"Furthermore, the two-tailed Matatabi and its host, Yugimon, are perfect Jinchūriki."

"I think you should know what this means."

Upon hearing this, Shukaku was speechless.

The barely roused hostility and power crumbled completely in an instant.

Because it was sealed, it could only learn about the outside world through its host. And its host was obviously not a precious person protected by the village, so it knew very little and naturally did not know the true reputation of the Akatsuki organization.

It assumed that this was just another group of arrogant individuals coveting the power of the tailed beasts.

But now, considering the context of what the human boy in front of him said...

It suddenly realized that it had subconsciously overlooked something very important:

Hunt down the tailed beasts and revive the Ten-Tails!

What exactly are those bastards from the Akatsuki organization plotting?!

"Okay, boss."

Unable to grasp the key point, Shukaku could only shed his previous arrogance and respond cautiously in a deep voice.

At the same time, a sense of relief welled up in my heart.

Faced with this suddenly dangerous and increasingly unpredictable world, luckily I was clever enough to recognize a powerful leader!

"Ah."

"Then, unleash your power and form a pact with me."

"That way, I'll be able to sense if you're in danger immediately."

Huang extended his palm, and a bizarre and eerie giant straw figure materialized behind him, with ghostly flames rising from his palm.

【Ghostly Entanglement: The Tragedy of the Curse】

It borrows the power of the cursed yokai, Ushi no Toki.

After all, the other party is a tailed beast, and a tailed beast with a host. He cannot guarantee that the other party's will will remain the same as it is now.

A contract is the most binding document.

Furthermore, since this is a world manifested by spiritual power, there is no need to use blood curses; a spiritual contract can be used directly.

"Yes."

Shukaku had no reason to refuse. A miniature version of Shukaku, about the size of a pet cat, appeared in front of Ara's palm after he responded. With a hint of fear and determination, it raised its little paw and touched the eerie green flame.

Instantly, the eerie flames flickering in the spiritual world climbed up the tiny beast's claw, which had shrunk a hundred times, and finally disappeared after leaving a nail-like pattern on its forehead.

[The contract is complete.]

After leaving Gaara's mental world, Ara did not rush back immediately, because his subordinates had already sent a message through the Ninja Hawk.

Konoha's ANBU ninja arrived at the inn where Sunagakure was staying as soon as possible and are now setting up a checkpoint to investigate the whole incident.

After all, such a series of noises late at night could be heard not only by ninjas whose six senses are beyond ordinary people, but also by ordinary residents living in the city.

Especially now that Konoha is at a sensitive time, with the Chunin Exams underway.

The sudden reappearance of Orochimaru, who had defected from the village, in the examination hall made their already sensitive nerves even more tense, and no matter what the slightest movement was, it could not escape the scrutiny of these elites.

It's likely that Kikyo Castle is now entirely under the surveillance of Konoha's reconnaissance ninjas.

Not only did Ara not plan to return, but the Ninja Swordsmen also chose to evacuate immediately after cleaning up the battle area.

In any case, the current situation doesn't require them to stay there on standby any longer.

Next, these elites need to begin receiving the assembled forces of the Land of Hot Water and gradually infiltrating into the Land of Fire.

As for the battlefield at the Valley of the End, Konoha will surely discover it as well.

However, this will be a long time from now.

At that time, the wind and rain will completely cover up all traces of life.

"How did you manage to do that?"

A weak voice came from behind Ara; it was Gaara slowly waking up from another coma.

At this moment, he looked at the guy he had regarded as his prey with complicated emotions. Apart from some physical fear, he was mostly incredulous.

That monster, the monster that even he and the entire Sunagakure village feared, was easily defeated by the other party!

What a terrifying power this is!

Gaara's gaze was fixed on the person in his field of vision, and his pupils trembled slightly involuntarily.

He desperately wanted an answer from the other party:

Why is this guy, who is only the same age as his sister, able to possess such terrifying strength?

However, Huang did not answer his question.

Of course, there is no obligation for me to answer this question.

They even directly changed the subject:

"It seems that Sunagakure is unwilling to truly accept you, so would you like to come with me?"

This question was so direct that it completely baffled Gaara, causing him to temporarily put aside the question he had just blurted out.

After all these years, or more precisely, since he can remember, what he has wanted most is to be accepted by his fellow villagers.

But everyone,

Everyone sees themselves as a monster!

Everyone wants to get rid of me as soon as possible!

Even one's own biological father is the same.

But now, the person in front of me is so brazenly accepting me.

"Yes, in exchange."

“I will become your ‘cage,’ binding your power so that you can live like an ordinary person.”

Huang explained the terms of the exchange.

Furthermore, with Shukaku already subdued, it can do whatever it wants.

Upon hearing this, a distinct emotion, different from his usual coldness and ruthlessness, appeared in Gaara's eyes.

This emotion prompted him to agree and accept the offer.

However, just before he opened his mouth, he sealed his heart and his mouth, and a strong sense of wariness was evident in his eyes.

Over the years, he has become terrified of being ostracized and has long since positioned himself as the opposite of others.

That person,

When the closest and most trusted relative in his life chose to harm him, he had already locked his heart shut, preventing anyone from having the possibility of hurting him again.

Gaara,

A demon who only loves himself.

That's the definition of his name.

"You've seen my memories!"

When the Sand Village genius spoke again, his tone was not only more distant and wary, but also filled with an unyielding hostility.

'The Sharingan, besides its practical ability to confuse the enemy's mind and observe their movements, also possesses the powerful ability to read minds.'

He recalled what Teacher Maki had said when introducing this tribe, and the palpable solemnity on his face.

Even when he first entered Konoha, he encountered a ninja from the Uchiha clan named Uchiha Sasuke.

At that time, he respectfully included it in the hunting range, and thus made a preliminary assessment of Uchiha Ara, whom Maki-sensei emphasized.

However, it now appears that the two are not even on the same dimension.

"Yeah, I've seen it."

Huang was completely devoid of pretense and deceit.

When Gaara entered the other's mental sea, his past, joys and sorrows, all unfolded slowly in his eyes like a slideshow.

Moreover, even without browsing, based on his memories from his previous life, he already had some understanding of this genius who was known for his absolute defense.
