I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

So in a way, Deidara's indiscriminate explosions actually restrained him quite a bit.

That's why he made Deidara wait a bit, until he ran a little further away.

After all, the Three-Tails can be caught anytime, so there's no need to risk your life for it.

"Out."

Sensing the dramatic changes in the water's surface, even without turning around, Scorpion could tell that the three tails were surfacing.

Then he saw Deidara in the sky seemingly throwing something down, and this thing was rapidly growing larger and larger as it fell...

Blanch!

Sasori now strongly suspects that Deidara intends to blow him up as well!

It was too late to run away now, so all Scorpion could do was immediately take out the scroll he carried with him and release the puppet inside.

"This time I'm going to teach these despicable guys a lesson they won't forget!"

The three-tailed creature's eyes were bloodshot, its mind filled with rage. As it surfaced, it let out a deafening roar.

But before it could even get a clear look at its surroundings, a giant clay figure over 20 meters tall smashed into its head!

Perfectly accurate! Not only was the timing predicted extremely well, but the position of the third tail was also correctly predicted.

And so Super C3 No. 18 exploded instantly!

boom!!!

The entire lake seemed to be boiling, with wave after wave crashing onto the shore as if it would never stop.

The three-tailed creature that surfaced hadn't done anything when it was hit on the head and was immediately stunned and knocked unconscious.

It probably had never encountered such a cunning and treacherous enemy before.

Who throws a firecracker at someone's face?

And it's a firecracker the size of a double-bang! Isn't that suicidal?!

The three-tailed creature fell down and was blown to bits.

The towering spray of water, like a fountain, seemed to burst out of the solar system before turning into a torrential downpour and falling back onto the lake.

In addition, many fish were also falling from the sky.

Shinji, who had just returned to the shore, turned around and saw this earth-shattering scene, his face showing surprise.

He recalled what Mosie had told him before, and the strange shark.

He began to suspect that there were other people here besides them, and that they were after the Three-Tails.

So the question is, who could it be?

Shinji recalled several plot points related to the Three-Tails in the original work, among which the one that left a deep impression was Orochimaru sending Guren to capture the Three-Tails.

Honglian's Crystal Escape technique was truly amazing!

However, it was ultimately countered by Shino's parasitic insects.

Another one is the Akatsuki organization.

Tobi controlled the Three-Tails underwater with his Sharingan, making Deidara mistakenly believe that it was a clay bomb he had casually released that instantly killed the Three-Tails. This led Deidara to conclude that wild Tailed Beasts are weaker because they do not have Jinchuriki.

[Chapter 383 Water Mounts]

Let's start with Orochimaru. He was killed by Tobi once, and then he came to Konoha to cause trouble and was killed by Shinji again.

Even if Orochimaru were to be resurrected, he would probably keep a low profile and wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, if it were that woman, Honglian, she shouldn't have been able to cause such a huge explosion.

Let's talk about the second possibility.

Ah Fei... has always been by Shinji's side.

Moreover, it seems that the Akatsuki organization did not start planning this early on.

However, the plot has long since become a mess, and Gaara has already settled down in Kirigakure, so it's not surprising that anything could happen.

Judging from that explosion just now, it really does seem like Deidara's doing.

So the strange shark they saw earlier was very likely a puppet created by Scorpion.

Shinji's analysis this time is very close to the truth.

However, he doesn't intend to get involved in such matters.

But just as he was about to leave, he noticed that Mo Xi seemed a little unhappy.

"what happened?"

"This tailed beast probably didn't do anything, right?"

"Ok?"

Shinji was taken aback.

Mo Xi continued, "It did nothing wrong, it just stayed quietly at the bottom of the lake, so why does it have to suffer like this?"

This is indeed an angle that Shinji had never considered.

It seems that no one has ever considered the thoughts of these tailed beasts.

And that is indeed the case. After Yagura died, the Three-Tails was resurrected and stayed here. It never did anything evil and was so cowardly that it hid at the bottom of the lake to sleep every day. It would only swim around in the lake when it couldn't resist anymore.

But even this slight anomaly was discovered.

So where exactly did it go wrong?

Mo Xi was the one who could best understand that feeling, which is why she couldn't help but ask the question.

Shinji thought about it seriously for a moment, and then gave a possible answer: "It's probably because of the fear and greed in human nature."

"People fear the tailed beasts that possess terrifying power, yet they also greedily desire to possess that power for themselves, which is why the situation you described occurs."

"As long as the tailed beasts continue to possess this terrifying power, there will always be people who try to compete for and seize it."

"They are indeed innocent, and it is humanity itself that caused all of this."

Mo Xi stared intently at the center of the lake, uttering her final question: "Why?"

Shinji remained silent.

"I'm going to save it. I don't care what happens to the other tailed beasts, but at least it shouldn't end up like this."

After Mo Xi finished speaking, she walked out.

Shinji sighed helplessly, "What a troublesome person. I'm starting to regret saving you more and more in the first place."

"But... fine, I'll let you be willful this once."

In fact, every cursed spirit has its own obsession. For example, the special-grade cursed spirit Hana Yu was born out of humanity's fear of the forest. He began to fight against humanity because he could not tolerate the destruction of the natural environment by humans.

There are many more examples like this.

Therefore, it's not hard to understand why Moxi would get angry because the Three-Tailed Beast was attacked for no reason.

Shinji could also forcibly suppress Moxi's behavior, or even take her into his mental space.

But if he does that, Mo Xi will probably hate him, and the good relationship they've built up will immediately break down.

If I want to use Mo Xi's power again in the future, I will probably have to multitask to control her, and I shouldn't expect her to cooperate obediently.

This is not the outcome Shinji wanted to see.

Another point is that stopping the Akatsuki from collecting the Tailed Beasts isn't really a bad idea.

This will prevent a group of people from being completely fooled by the Black Zetsu.

Even without today's incident, he would have confronted Ah Fei sooner or later.

Although many tragedies have already occurred, there is really no need to double the number of tragedies.

What are you doing here?

"You talk as if you can exist without me. If I don't cooperate, how far can you go?"

Shinji shut Mo Xi down with a single sentence.

"Tch, don't think you can make me grateful by doing this. I hate humans the most, especially you bunch of stinky men!"

"Heh, sexism, huh? You really think male chauvinists don't fight?"

"What utter nonsense..."

"It's nothing. Given the consequences of your recklessness this time, the girl who used to play with you is gone. And what did you just say? What did you say, 'I'? After this is all over, you'll be locked up for at least three days!"

"..."

Mo Xi was speechless. She looked at Shinji with a "you're a dog" gaze, then took a deep breath and said, "Fine, you win! You'll be begging for my attention someday."

"Don't worry, I will never ask you for anything in this life. Unless you never want to come out again, and never want to enjoy the warm embrace of a gentle older sister again."

Mo Xi, whose weakness had been instantly exploited, immediately collapsed.

After glaring at someone resentfully, she immediately sped up.

Shinji simply stood on her back, letting Moxi carry him quickly across the lake.

"You bastard, get down here!" Mo Xi exclaimed anxiously.

"Stop arguing, do you still want me to cooperate with you?"

Mo Xi, who had inexplicably become a water mount, suddenly blushed as if she had thought of something.

But they didn't discuss the matter further.

It's as if they've tacitly agreed.

At the same time, a black sphere in the lake suddenly and silently reverted to iron sand.

The scorpion and the Third Kazekage puppet inside were revealed.

As for the shark...

It was pulverized in the first wave of explosions.
