Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

His body was covered with sharp spikes, whether on his shell, limbs or tail.

Zabuza and Haku, who were a little further away, felt the immense pressure emanating from the Three-Tails and couldn't help but gasp.

It seems like Naruto Uzumaki didn't do anything, yet he just summoned such a powerful guy like that?

At this moment, Isobu was watching Naruto warily, keeping his distance, and cautiously asked, "Kurama said you want to make a deal with me?"

Naruto nodded: "That's right, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I want your chakra, and it's not a small amount; I need about half of it."

"Then what can you bring me?"

"Protect."

"Protect?" Isobu paused for a moment.

He then chuckled wryly, “I don’t need any protection. If you take a stroll around Kirigakure now, you’ll understand why.”

Naruto nodded knowingly, pointing at Zabuza, "Of course I know, after all, even someone like that can run for Mizukage."

Zabuza was somewhat unconvinced upon hearing this, but he dared not show it.

Even Isobu, after sensing Zabuza's chakra, couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he had remembered something funny.

"It's far inferior to Yagura."

He then continued, "Then why are you using protection as a bargaining chip?"

"There is indeed no one in Kirigakure who can threaten you right now, but what about outside the village? For example, the person who put you under a genjutsu before."

Isobu seemed to realize something, and his expression turned cold: "That masked Sharingan brat is indeed hateful."

Naruto nodded to himself: It was indeed the masked man who did it.

Aren't you worried that he'll make a comeback?

Upon hearing this, Isobu fell silent.

With his strength and control of the waterways, he could indeed deal with most enemies.

But the other party happens to have the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"What are the specific details of the transaction?" he finally asked.

Seeing his expression, Naruto smiled slightly and said, "I need half of your chakra. I can give it to you in small amounts multiple times. I will be staying in Kirigakure for a while."

"If you encounter masked men or other dangers again, you can just ask Nine Lamas to tell me, and I will come immediately."

Upon hearing this, Isobu frowned: "What if you are far away from here and can't get here in time?"

Naruto remained silent, but threw out two kunai to demonstrate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Seeing this, Isobu seemed to be deep in thought.

He had heard of the Flying Thunder God Technique when he was inside the Fourth Mizukage, and knew that it was a powerful ninjutsu that could teleport to a marked location as long as one had enough chakra.

The Naruto before him clearly possessed ample chakra, perhaps even several times more than Naruto himself, a tailed beast.

"Alright, I accept your deal."

"If you don't mind, I can leave a mark on you, so you won't even have to worry about losing your kunai."

"No, it feels too strange."

Naruto didn't insist and handed Isobu a Flying Thunder God kunai.

"Keep it safe, or don't blame me if you don't make it in time and find it's in the wrong place."

"understood."

Isobu took the kunai and put it away, then bit off a few spikes from his body and threw them in front of Naruto.

After absorbing the body, Naruto casually asked, "Have you ever thought about finding a Jinchuriki? Like these two behind me."

Isobu shook his head: "Unless you can find another guy like Yagura, the matter of Jinchuriki is out of the question."

At this point, he added warily, "You wouldn't be thinking of forcing me to be sealed away, would you?"

"Don't worry, since you don't have any such thoughts, I can guarantee that no one in Kirigakure will dare to do this. Although it's not included in the deal, consider it a gift."

Isobu was finally relieved.

Before diving back into the lake, he glanced at Naruto one more time: "Kurama was right, you can still be trusted."

"As for the others...we'll talk about them later."

After saying this, Isobu returned to the depths of the lake.

Zabuza stepped forward, his voice filled with worry, and said, "My lord, are we really going to abandon the Three-Tails, such a powerful ally? And the Six-Tails' Jinchuriki is nowhere to be found..."

Naruto waved his hand: "I've already promised Isobu, and I will definitely keep my promise."

Seeing this, Zabuza had no choice but to give up.

......

That night, two men dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns dived into the lake where Isobu was located.

"Speaking of which, if you really are Uchiha Madara, shouldn't you have been able to capture the Three-Tails with just a glance? Why would you need anyone else?" The shark-faced man, or rather Kisame Hoshigaki, asked casually.

"What? You doubt my identity? Don't blame me for not warning you." The masked man, whose only Sharingan eye was visible, said coldly.

Kisame Hoshigaki grinned: "Yes, yes."

"It's rare to come back, and this place is still as awful as ever, with constant infighting." Kisame Hoshigaki remarked before the operation began.

"Let's get started already," the masked man urged impatiently.

Kisame Hoshigaki then began to unwrap the bandages around Samehada, reassuring him, "This time, Samehada, you might be able to eat your fill."

Samehada rubbed against Kisame's hand, and then the two of them became one.

After the fusion, Kisame Hoshigaki looks more like a shark, which further enhances his underwater combat capabilities.

He jumped into the lake and quickly located the three tails.

"Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

In order to launch a surprise attack and win in one blow, Kisame Hoshigaki used his strongest move right away, launching an enormous shark-shaped water bullet.

Isobu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by pain and immediately discovered that something was devouring his chakra.

"Who?!"

He spat out a powerful "Water Release: Iron Cannon Bullet," only to find that his attack was swallowed up by the shark-shaped water bullet before it even hit the enemy, and the shark-shaped water bullet even became larger as a result.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

Just as Isobu was about to escape, Kisame Hoshigaki, having anticipated this, created a water prison to slow him down.

Because of this delay, Isobu's chakra was consumed even more.

At this point, Isogai finally realized that the enemy's abilities were a perfect counter to his, and dared not be overconfident any longer. He shouted loudly to Kurama in his consciousness space:

"Kurama! Quickly, get Naruto Uzumaki to save me!"

The Akatsuki organization is not performing well.

There weren't many people to begin with, and two of them even left recently.

This has made the already short-staffed Akatsuki organization even busier.

According to their original plan, they are now in the stage of saving money and recruiting manpower.

However, the situation changed. The Fifth Hokage increased the intensity of their training, creating a sense of urgency.

Therefore, Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, ordered them to start collecting the Tailed Beasts ahead of schedule.

The task of capturing the Three-Tails was assigned to Kisame Hoshigaki and Tobi, because one of them was skilled in water combat and the other had the Sharingan, which could suppress tailed beasts.

But from another perspective, this division of labor is quite ingenious.

Because both of these people have some connection to, or rather, some dissatisfaction with, Kirigakure...

Back on the battlefield, Isobu, seeing that he was about to be completely devoured, hurriedly called for Naruto's help.

Although tailed beasts don't actually die, even if they are killed, they only temporarily lose consciousness and wait to be resurrected.

But that feeling wasn't pleasant, and since Isobu had experienced it before, he definitely didn't want to go through it again.

The moment after he shouted, just as he was about to make a desperate attempt to buy time and wait for Naruto to arrive...

Naruto has arrived.

Naruto took half a second to understand the situation, sized up his opponent, and observed the terrain.

After discovering that it was Kisame Hoshigaki, whom he had defeated, Naruto was already half relieved.

Why not take this opportunity to improve your compatibility with the tailed beast's chakra?

"Fire Rat Jade!"

A rat-shaped flame was exhaled from Naruto's mouth.

But both Kisame Hoshigaki and Isobu had their eyes wide open at that moment.

This "little mouse" is just as big as Kisame Hoshigaki's shark-shaped water bullet!

Isn't your mouse a bit too big?

Moreover, even though it's a fire-style ninjutsu, they're still underwater. It's not like the water is going to extinguish the fireball, but rather the lake is going to evaporate.

Kisame Hoshigaki was still a little confused at this point: how did someone suddenly appear, and he even recognized this person before?

Kisame Hoshigaki was a little worried when he thought about Samehada's "indigestion" before.

As expected, this time it was the Great Shark Bullet Technique as well.

At first, it grew larger by absorbing the chakra of the opponent's ninjutsu, but soon it collapsed for some unknown reason.

Kisame Hoshigaki thought about it afterward and could only conclude that Naruto's chakra was special.

Realizing that this was not an opponent he could handle, Kisame decisively swam upstream and reached the shore.

"All done?" the masked man asked casually, but he quickly noticed that Kisame looked rather disheveled.
