Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Two words: Ugly!

In three words: extremely ugly!

Four words: absolutely fucking ugly!

I don't know if the old man of the Six Paths has a seriously biased aesthetic sense. Of the nine tailed beast brothers he created, only a few are pleasing to the eye. Apart from the Nine-Tails, which is the face of the beast, the other brothers are all ugly. It can be said that there is no ugliest, only uglier!

"You brat, do you know how annoying your tone of voice is?"

The Five-Tails, still listless and lying on the ground, rolled its eyes and glared fiercely at Shinto. Its fierce aura as a tailed beast suddenly erupted, and it charged towards the little brat in front of it, who sounded like it was being mocked.

After all that joking, when has the great Five-Tailed King Mu ever been mocked?

Hmm... there seems to be a bastard named Hashirama Senju, but judging by the timeline, that bastard should be dead by now...

"Really? I really didn't know! Do you know that your seventh brother and fourth brother once said the same thing to me, and in the end they both cried and called me 'Dad'? It's the father's fault if the son is not taught properly. He's still so arrogant even though he's locked up. It seems that old man Liudao gave birth to him but didn't teach him!"

Shinto raised an eyebrow and said, "The tailed beasts are always this arrogant before they get beaten up. I'm used to it. It'll behave after I give it a good beating."

Aside from the fat cat who has the destiny of a leader but not the luck of one, and the arrogant fox who has the luck of a leader but not the destiny of one, he has never seen anyone who is unruly.

He's not in a hurry now. The Raikage should be fighting Onoki. It's a rare opportunity for father and son to fight Onoki together. It's good to give them more time. If nothing unexpected happens, the Raikage will fight against 10,000 Iwa ninja in the Third Shinobi World War and die from exhaustion. This is a chance for the father and son to vent their anger in advance.

"You little brat! You're asking for it! Those two are the real little brothers! ヽ(#`Д′)?"

The seventh and fourth brothers of the True Fighting Sect directly attacked the soul of the Five-Tails, causing the Five-Tails, which had been listless due to the sealing array, to become completely enraged. It struggled incessantly within the sealing array. Although the nine tailed beast brothers were all biological offspring and had emerged in a proper order, they had indeed been close and loving towards each other for a period of time when they were young, accompanied by the Six Paths Elder. They were like brothers.

However, the lifespan of these tailed beasts is infinite, and their growth cycle is much longer than the Six Paths Elder had expected. They were still in their infancy when the Six Paths Elder passed away. By the time they entered their rebellious adolescence, the Six Paths Elder had already died and was too busy to give them proper guidance.

So here's the problem: humans are unruly when they enter their rebellious phase, let alone these tailed beasts. Originally, they were still in their infancy, and under the careful care of the Six Paths Elder, they loved each other and it didn't matter who was the eldest brother and who was the younger brother; it was just a title.

But when they reach adolescence and learn the meaning of the terms "elder brother" and "younger brother," things change. They realize they have more followers than the others and are stronger than them, so why are they the younger brothers?

The Nine-Tails, carrying the greatest resentment, initiated a ranking battle among the tailed beasts. After a series of battles, the ranking of the nine brothers was finalized. However, the original eldest brother, the One-Tail, who suffered the most severe beating, was unhappy. It was a fact that the Six Paths Sage gave birth to it first, and it was rightfully the eldest brother. Now, it had instantly gone from being the eldest brother to the youngest brother, so of course it was unhappy. Under its influence, the brothers from the second to the eighth also became very unhappy because of the change in their status from eldest brother to youngest brother, so a new round of tailed beast ranking battles was started.

In short, what was a period of time for humans was a long time, but for the Tailed Beasts with infinite life, it was just a blink of an eye. During this time, the nine Tailed Beast brothers argued endlessly about who was the eldest and who was the youngest. No one could convince or persuade the other, and in the end, they couldn't reach an agreement and went their separate ways.

Among these tailed beasts, the hierarchy of elder and younger brothers has become a magic wand in their minds. Now, in front of the Five-Tails, Shinto is calling it both the seventh and fourth elder brother. It's no wonder the Five-Tails is furious. It was clearly born earlier than the Seven-Tails, so why is it the younger brother? It's clearly stronger than the Four-Tails, so why is it the younger brother again...?

"Oh dear, you're really getting worked up about my temper, aren't you? Talking to you nicely won't work, will it?"

"boom!"

"Behave yourself!"

Shinto hadn't expected the Five-Tails to be so obsessed with the question of who was the older and younger brother. His unexpected burst of speed, coupled with the fact that the Iwa ninja underlings maintaining the sealing array had all been blown to the head by him, and the sealing array, lacking any staying power, was on the verge of breaking apart, caused him to teleport to the dolphin-like head and raise his massive, black fist to deliver a devastating punch.

"Ah! You little brat! I'll kill you! Yah...! (f***ing ***)"

The excruciating pain in its head was stimulating every nerve in the Five-Tails. Although it didn't know why this brat's fist hurt more than Onoki's area-of-effect attack, it didn't have time to think about it. It just wanted to break free of this damned cage and swallow the little monster on its head.

"Boom!..."

As the Five-Tails struggled frantically, the sealing array began to loosen, and the Five-Tails struggled even more fiercely as if it saw hope.

"Oh! You won't listen, will you? Stay put and wait until I'm in a better mood before I let you go!"

"boom!"

Ignoring the Five-Tails' struggles, Shinto delivered another powerful punch to its head. He was quite experienced with tailed beasts; these creatures needed to be beaten head-on to be feared. If not confronted directly, they would never know pain. This place was secluded enough that Iwagakure's underlings had followed Tsuchidae to tail Onoki, so they wouldn't be discovered for a while. As long as he defeated the ugly beast before the Iwagakure ninja found out and handed it over to Kakuzu, he would be done with it. He would even have time to check if Onoki's feathers had been plucked—that would be a historic moment. He had even brought his camera; it all depended on how well the Raikage and his son could put up with their combined attack.

He originally planned to strip Onoki of his feathers himself, but considering that the Raikage would be tricked and killed by Onoki in the future, and that this might be the first and last time the father and son would team up, he decided to be a good guy and give them the chance.

He's still young; as long as Onoki isn't dead, he still has a chance...

554. Loess: We don't use generalizations on a map.

"Boom!"

“Bang bang bang bang!!!”.

"Ugh...you damn brat, you're dead meat if I get out of here! (▼he▼メ)"

"Hey! You're pretty energetic! Much better than your fourth and seventh brothers..."

"Bang bang bang!"

"Ugh! You bastard! I'm the older brother.....(#｀皿′)"

"Bang bang bang!"

"ah.....!"

"Haha! You damned brat, die!" (#｀皿′)

Enduring the excruciating pain in its head, the Five-Tails, having finally broken through the sealing array, burst into a wild laugh. With a powerful head shake, it flung the Shinto on its head over a hundred meters away. Its heels stomped on the ground repeatedly, and suddenly it revved the engine, accelerating at full speed. With its head covered in bumps and its teeth bared, it charged towards the stinky brat a hundred meters away, who looked like an ant compared to its size.

"Wow! Pretty tough, huh? Armed dad beating son!"

Seeing the Five-Tails charging towards him at breakneck speed, Shinto smiled and raised his dark, muscular fist. He stomped the ground a hundred times in an instant, leaving a huge crater. Then, in a flash, he appeared in front of the Five-Tails' charging head and delivered a powerful punch!

"boom!"

"Ouch...it hurts...damn brat, a tailed beast..."

This massive punch, a knock-off of top-tier Armament Haki combined with a knock-off of the Five-Tails, sent the Five-Tails flying dozens of meters, slamming it into the rock face. The mountain collapsed instantly. The Five-Tails was in excruciating pain, but as the elder brother of its fourth and seventh siblings, despite the tears streaming down its face, it refused to give in. With a powerful push of its four hooves, it performed a tailed beast-style push-up, wiping away its tears, opening its mouth, aiming at its target, and swallowing a mouthful of thick phlegm that had been brewing for countless years...

"boom!"

"Tailed Beasts my ass!"

However, before he could even fire, Shinto saw that the mountain had collapsed and the commotion was quite large, so he quickly decided to finish the battle quickly. Seeing that the Five-Tails was about to fire, he couldn't let the ugly monster make too much noise, otherwise it would be very awkward to attract those Iwa ninja underlings in front of everyone. He then stomped his feet dozens of times, leaving a large crater, and then, as if by teleportation, arrived at the top of the Five-Tails' head before it could even fire, and punched the large crater in the ground.

"Ah... Ouch... It hurts... (#｀皿′)"

The Five-Tails, knocked to the ground by a single punch, didn't stubbornly try to rise again. Instead, it rolled around on the ground, clutching its head with its two front paws. The old man of the Six Paths really had a terrible sense of justice; why didn't he give it two claws when he created it? It's now just hooves, unable to even rub its wounds...

"Screw you!"

"boom!"

"Weren't you so arrogant just now?"

"boom!"

"Get up, I haven't even warmed up yet!"

"boom!"

"Ah... but..."

"boom!"

"But you bastard! I don't believe it! Your brothers have already dealt with you, but you can't? Get up!" (▼へ▼メ)

"Bang bang bang!"

Shindou had completely let loose and his temper was flaring up. Ignoring the Five-Tails, which was lying on the ground clutching its head and rolling around like a dead dog, he grabbed the soft fur on its head with one hand and kept swinging it down with the other. It has to be said that this tailed beast is really tough. With his superhuman strength and fists covered in Armament Haki, he could smash mountains down. Apart from having a head full of bumps and constantly crying out in pain, this thing was completely unharmed.

However, it's not easy to make the Tailed Beasts submit to their innate tempers. Apart from the cowardly Seven-Tails, it took half a day to beat the Four-Tails until it called him "daddy." That was considered good. The Four-Tails and Five-Tails were destined to be separated from their elder brother, both in terms of strength and birth. So, although they are quite stubborn, they have their limits. If it were the One-Tail and Nine-Tails, two Tailed Beasts with extremely different fates, even beating them for ten years would still be of no use.

.....

Rumble...!

"What happened?"

"Look over there! The mountain over there looks like it's about to collapse!"

"My goodness... what on earth happened...?"

"Whoa! Judging by the looks of it, it seems like some kind of giant monster has appeared...ヾ(^?^)?"

Although Shinto wanted a quick victory and didn't want to make a big fuss, the Five-Tails' size was inherently a source of great disturbance. While he was beating the Five-Tails until it called him "daddy," the village of Iwagakure was already alarmed by the loud noise coming from the other side of the mountain. Especially with such a high altitude mountain suddenly collapsing, it was hard not to be shocked. However, the villagers of Iwagakure were relatively rational. Although they knew that something big must have happened on the other side of the mountain, they were past the age of having an adventurous spirit. They just watched in shock from the village as things changed, and occasionally they could hear the deafening rumble coming from the other side of the mountain.

They were all ordinary people, so naturally they couldn't possibly know that a tailed beast was sealed on the other side of the mountain. But they weren't afraid of death either, so they grabbed stools, cracked sunflower seeds, and started discussing with their companions in small groups, letting their imaginations run wild, guessing what kind of great monster had descended upon the world...

"Huang Tu, Lord Tuying and the others have all gone out, what do we do now?"

The villagers could relax and indulge in their wild imaginations, cracking sunflower seeds and bragging, but the few high-ranking members of Iwagakure who hadn't gone to fight Onoki couldn't sit still.

That's the place where the Five-Tails is sealed!

Judging by this scene, it's definitely caused by the Five-Tails breaking through the seal. Such a tall and huge mountain collapsed; they wouldn't believe it was man-made...

Now that their leader is away, and their best rookie, young Zi, who can rival the Five-Tails, is also absent, they can only frantically ask Huang Tu at the Tsuchikage Building. Huang Tu is now the strongest fighter in the village...

"...It seems the Five-Tails has broken free of its seal. The Anbu will organize the villagers to retreat to the evacuation zone first, while we will go to the outer perimeter to provide defense. We can only hope that Father will return in time before it reaches the village..."

Seeing the look in everyone's eyes, as if they had found their pillar of support, Huang Tu felt helpless and powerless. What good is it if you all look at me? Are you suggesting I go and fight the Five-Tailed Fox one-on-one?

I'm not going to use generalizations! No way! No way!

It's a story filled with tears; it's a poignant reflection of the hardships faced by all the privileged second-generation rich kids. Bathed in the shadow of their parents' success, they've tasted all the bitterness and sweetness of life...

His talent for earth magic wasn't bad; he had perfect innate earth affinity and could learn the ancestral earth magic his father taught him in no time. But damn it, he just couldn't learn his father's exclusive skill, map-wide attack. It wasn't that he didn't try. Back when he was learning dust magic from his father, he would read the theoretical knowledge of dust magic several times the night before, making sure he could write it backwards and recite it from memory before going to sleep.

My brain can learn it, but my body just can't. Every time I think about it, it's incredibly painful...

555. I'm a civilized person by nature, but you've forced me to take action.

Although he was not afraid of death and deeply loved his village, hearing the loud noise coming from the other side of the mountain, feeling the slight tremors on the ground, and seeing the expectant eyes around him, he still did not have the courage to face that behemoth. Those who have never seen a tailed beast can never understand how fierce it is. As the second-generation most powerful person in the village, the only son of his biological father, and the only legitimate heir of the family, he also had the heavy responsibility of continuing the family line. Before he had a child, how could he be asked to fight a tailed beast alone?

You're overthinking it.

After saying that, Huang Tu hurriedly led his group of ANBU towards the outskirts of the village. Although it was impossible for him to fight a tailed beast alone before he had a child or two, and his own father would not give him that right or obligation, he still had to lead his underlings to set up defenses. He could only hope that his father would return soon, otherwise they really couldn't withstand the Five-Tails' impact. Now all the powerful figures in the village had gone out to fight with his father. He was now one of the village's strongest fighters. The remaining group of underlings might be able to fight each other, but sending them to face the Five-Tails was simply making them easy targets for the Five-Tails.

But with no capable generals in the court, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the lead. As the crowd watched Huang Tu's figure gradually disappear into the distance, it seemed that Huang Tu's selfless and heroic spirit elevated his image in their minds, perfectly embodying the saying "Like father, like son."

.....

"boom!"

"Do you know you were wrong? Do you still dare to be arrogant?!"

"boom!"

"Waaaaah...! I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, it hurts so much...╥﹏╥"

"Damn it, you ugly freaks are just so damn annoying! You can't even talk things out properly, you always have to resort to fists. Aren't you just being annoying? (▼へ▼メ)"

"......╥﹏╥"

Deep in the mountains, the father's beating of his son continued. Like the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails was the kind of tailed beast that was "unassuming." Although it wasn't as cowardly as the Seven-Tails, being born among the nine brothers put it in an awkward position, destined to be neither the eldest nor the youngest like the One-Tails and the Nine-Tails. They were only fighting because they didn't want to be the younger brother born after them, nor did they want to be the older brother of someone weaker than them. That was all.
