"Have you heard? Lord Roshi was attacked again. They say he was almost turned into mincemeat with a single palm strike."
"That news is already an hour old. The latest update is that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki from Cloud Village was also beaten to within an inch of his life. The Fourth Raikage is furious, threatening to go all out against the Akatsuki!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this world is getting stranger and stranger. Why are Jinchuriki so unlucky?"
Outside Konohagakure, in the Land of Fire.
"You, you... Don't come any closer!"
With a wail from Kurama, the ground trembled. A colossal Nine-Tails Fox lay listlessly on the ground. Not far away, a large mink was flipped on its back in the jungle.
Naruto, carrying a small backpack, swallowed with difficulty, his eyes trembling, daring not to look at the long-haired woman floating in the air.
"As expected, women are so scary. Nine-tails actually went down like that. I'd better stay in the village and play with Sasuke on weekends. It's too dangerous out here!"
Naruto plunged his head into Kurama's fur, his small backpack falling to the ground, scattering crumpled banknotes.
Kaguya's gaze lingered for a second on the white rhombus-shaped mark on Naruto's right hand, then shifted to the Three-Tails, which had its head retracted into its shell.
"You're the only one left."
Isobu: Turtle is dizzy, weak...
...
Three days later, on a barren Gobi Desert, Kaguya floated in the air, facing Lin Yu from a distance. Two juvenile Ten-Tails, about the size of farm dogs, were clinging to the rock face below them.
Kaguya said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance."
Lin Yu shook his head and smiled, gesturing for Kaguya to make the first move. "Ladies first."
The meridians around Kaguya's Byakugan bulged. She admitted that Lin Yu's strength was considerable, capable of absorbing the chakra she required. However, Kaguya possessed her own pride, and she had already been patient enough with Lin Yu.
Kaguya slowly raised her palm towards Lin Yu. The Rinne Sharingan on her forehead snapped open, and a fist aura capable of destroying heaven and earth surged towards Lin Yu.
Kaguya held nothing back. Her first move was the "Eight Divine Resonating Bullets," wanting to let Lin Yu know the vast difference between them.
"What a coincidence, I know this move too."
Lin Yu's eyes transformed into a brilliant gold. Although he had not reached the realm of the Six Paths, he possessed the "Eight Divine Resonating Bullets (Improved Version)," thanks to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
Lin Yu also threw a punch. The two immensely powerful fist auras collided in mid-air, emitting a deafening roar. A shockwave then surged outwards in all directions. The ground beneath them cracked open with a deep fissure, clearly separating the two.
For the first time, a look of surprise appeared in Kaguya's pure white eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Yu to be able to withstand her "Eight Divine Resonating Bullets" head-on. It seemed he was indeed qualified to be her male consort.
"Amenominaka."
In an instant, the surrounding space transformed into Kaguya's icy domain. Even Lin Yu and the two juvenile Ten-Tails were transported to this place. Kaguya, however, had vanished from the frozen landscape.
Suddenly, the ice spikes around them rapidly enlarged and lunged towards Lin Yu.
BOOM!
Kaguya, blended with nature, materialized from an ice spike. Lin Yu had already vanished from her sight. All that remained on the ground were two juvenile Ten-Tails frozen solid.
Kaguya knitted her beautiful brows. She couldn't sense Lin Yu's presence within her ice and snow space. Where had he gone?
In Kaguya's lava dimension, Lin Yu floated in the air, drying the ice shards from his clothes. He muttered, "Without Black Zetsu's schemes, who knows when that foolish woman Kaguya will find me."
After Lin Yu had dried his clothes, a jagged spatial rift opened beside him, and Kaguya emerged, her eyes cold, holding a sharp bone spike.
"Gyakotsu! Kaguya, you're serious!"
Kaguya remained silent, her cold gaze fixed on Lin Yu. The bone spike shot towards him with incredible speed.
"Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasengan!"
The icy bone spike collided with the pitch-black sphere enveloped by a white stellar ring. In a flash, it pierced through the "Super Tailed Beast Rasengan," but Lin Yu also managed to evade Kaguya's "Gyakotsu" attack.
The next moment, a pale white hand reached out from the spatial rift towards Lin Yu. As if sensing it, Lin Yu's brilliant spacetime eye narrowed slightly. The space in front of him opened like a zipper, and Lin Yu slipped through, causing Kaguya behind him to miss her grasp.
Looking at Lin Yu who had disappeared again, Kaguya clenched her fists. How dare he act so brazenly within her dimension!
Kaguya used "Yomotsuhirasaka" again to pursue Lin Yu. The two continued to chase each other across six dimensions. Kaguya was utterly helpless against Lin Yu. Her most lethal attack, "Gyakotsu," couldn't hit him, and at times, he even gained the upper hand.
This infuriated Kaguya, her body trembling, the flames of anger in her eyes growing more intense as she continuously traversed dimensions to hunt Lin Yu.
Lin Yu could do nothing against Kaguya. She was immortal, able to recover from any injury and absorb any ninjutsu. Lin Yu had no intention of attacking her proactively.
Kaguya's combat experience was practically nonexistent, and the cunning Black Zetsu was nowhere to be found. Lin Yu could completely take this opportunity to tease Kaguya and leave her utterly flustered.
However, Lin Yu's actions came at a price for the two juvenile Ten-Tails frozen into statues.
Awooo~ Someone save us! It's so cold here!
Several days later...
CRACK!
The two frozen, stiff Ten-Tails were thrown onto the ground. The ice encasing them shattered, but there was still no movement.
"They seem completely dead. Why don't we stew them, Kaguya?"
Upon hearing the word "stew," the two Ten-Tails immediately perked up their tails and scrambled to their feet. They blinked their scarlet Rinne eyes and indicated to the two of them that they were perfectly fine and in excellent health!
Kaguya clenched her fair fists, no longer able to maintain her usual composure as she looked at Lin Yu. This damned male consort had toyed with her like a pet for three days and three nights, even being overly familiar with her. With her proud dignity, she was determined to fight Lin Yu to the death.
But after fighting for so long, her chakra had been significantly depleted, and she saw no hope of defeating Lin Yu. It seemed she was constantly countered by him.
Kaguya snorted coldly at Lin Yu, grabbed a Ten-Tails, and flew away into the distance, having no intention of bidding farewell.
Vile male consort, you just wait for me!
Lin Yu waved with a smile and said, "Let's spar again when we have time!"
Lin Yu watched Kaguya's receding figure, letting out a sigh of relief. He didn't pursue her. There was plenty of time, and life was meant to be savored slowly.
"Don't you agree, Shiro?"
Shiro wagged its tail, casting a disdainful glance at Lin Yu. Just as it was about to escape and find a quiet place to sleep, it felt its neck being grabbed and its body lifted into the air.
"I didn't manage to raise Kurama, but I gained a dog with ten tails. That's not bad either!"
Shiro immediately bared its teeth at Lin Yu, its expression ferocious.
It was a fierce Ten-Tails, not a dog!
"Awooo~"
