Chapter 249 I Want You to Call My Name
After speaking, Uchiha Hikaru immediately looked warily at Konan beside him.
I was relieved to find that [Xiao Nan] didn't start telling the story like before, but I was also a little disappointed.
Fortunately, because [Xiao Nan] didn't say anything, it was an unknown, and the unknown meant there was still hope.
The sense of loss stems from the fact that the unknown not only represents hope, but may also indicate even more perverse situations.
Do you want to know?
[Konan] noticed Uchiha Hikaru's unusual behavior and asked him a question.
"Huh? Didn't you already know?"
Uchiha Hikaru was somewhat bewildered.
"I know, I noticed your emotions. You seem to be having a hard time accepting these things. To avoid upsetting you further, I didn't say anything directly."
If it's really necessary, we can talk about it when the time comes.
[Xiao Nan] explained earnestly.
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Hikaru was stunned for a moment.
I never expected that Xiao Nan in this world would be so perceptive, insightful, and considerate.
She really made me cry my eyes out.
"We've arrived. It seems this is the place."
[Konan] patted Uchiha Hikaru on the shoulder when she was distracted.
The three looked down and saw two human-shaped figures in the woods next to the crater.
"what?"
What intrigued the three was that the two figures were about the same size.
Uchiha Hikaru controlled Susanoo to descend.
It skillfully shrank in mid-air, finally landing lightly on the ground without making as much noise as before.
Meanwhile, the two humanoid creatures opposite were engrossed in their own romantic world.
"Come on, Lao Zi, I want to hear you call my name. Come on, call my name."
The four-tailed creature in human form hugged Rōshi from behind, its monkey head resting on Rōshi's shoulder.
"Dog, Dogku."
Old Zi spoke with a touch of shyness.
"Ah, Lao Zi, I want you to call my name every day."
The Four-Tails hugged Ryuuki, closed its eyes, and rubbed its cheek against Ryuuki's, looking completely content.
"..."
Bai Mo and the other two remained silent.
In the real world, the Four-Tails was very unhappy because Old Purple couldn't remember its name, and it never reconciled with Old Purple.
Old Purple is also a stubborn old man who doesn't get along with Onoki, and he might have deliberately forgotten the Four-Tails' name.
The name became a source of anxiety for Yotsuba and Rōshi.
Only after they died and were reborn through the Impure World did they finally resolve this inner conflict.
However, in the limited Tsukuyomi world...
Their names became a bond that connected them.
"So this is a four-tailed beast?"
Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at [Konan] and asked.
Don't blame her for being suspicious; the main reason is that this four-tailed creature is too small.
Furthermore, as a tailed beast, why did the Four-Tails separate from its jinchūriki so casually?
Even male Jinchūriki can only have children with Tailed Beasts in a sealed space, right?
"It's the Four-Tailed Fox. According to ancient legends, the Sage of Six Paths once read a novel called 'The Tale of the Ox-Sucking Demon,' and the Four-Tailed Fox's name comes from one of the demon monkeys in the novel. That demon monkey had the ability to freely change size."
The erudite [Xiao Nan] provided the answer directly.
"I see. Let's get started then."
With a flick of his wrists, Uchiha Hikaru conjured Susanoo's two hands.
"Hmm? Old Zi, there's an enemy!"
The Four-Tails spotted Uchiha Hikari rushing towards them, as well as Bai Mo and [Konan] behind her.
"Could it be that Onoki guy sent them again? That guy, he's still not giving up. I've already told him I don't like white-haired lolis like him."
Old Zi frowned deeply.
"It shouldn't be them. They have an evil aura about them. My companions must have met their demise."
Yotsuba said with a heavy expression.
"Oh? So that means it's my turn to use Lava Release: Old Purple! Yo!"
Old Purple instantly appeared behind the Four-Tails and then thrust it forward.
The four-tailed beast let out a roar.
Then, the volcano shook.
Clumps of fiery lava erupted from within and fell around.
"What?"
Uchiha Hikaru frowned, looking around at the commotion.
This four-tailed creature looks small, but I never expected it to possess such power?
This situation only occurred after Uchiha Hikaru transformed using the natural energy stone given to him by Hakumo in Kurotsuchi, the Land of Demons.
Back then, the black soil held the power of the earth, causing lava to erupt; now…
laugh.
"Ahhh~"
Uchiha Hikaru swung her sword at a piece of lava falling towards her, cleaving the lava in two, from which a scream came out.
It turned out to be the case.
The Four-Tails didn't actually control the power of the earth; all that magma was just some creatures in disguise.
"No!"
"My children and Old Purple's children!"
The Four-Tails was heartbroken to see Uchiha Hikaru wielding his twin swords, slaying his monkey minions one by one amidst the magma and fire rain as if dancing in the rain.
"Are you sure the Four-Tails can control its size freely?"
Bai Mo looked at the Four-Tails, which was already charging furiously toward Uchiha Hikaru in the distance, and asked [Konan] beside him.
"Uh, that's just a legend, it might not be true."
Xiao Nan looked embarrassed.
—They're already enraged, why haven't they returned to their original size yet?
I'm afraid it's not that they don't want to recover, but that they can't recover?
Even if other tailed beasts give birth to offspring, it will only be one or two.
The Four-Tails and Old Purple had a whole mountain of monkeys born from that. How much of their chakra would have been taken away?
Are you just playing the "Decree of Grace" game?
Fortunately, the chakra returns to the Four-Tails after each monkey is killed.
Uchiha Hikari also noticed this, so after leaving the Eight Thousand Spear Mark on the Four-Tails, she chose to prioritize killing the other little monkeys.
"Why? Why are you treating us like this!"
"Why can't humans kill and eat meat!"
After realizing that it could not stop Uchiha Hikaru no matter what, the Four-Tails angrily dragged an Iwa ninja sent by Onoki out of the tree hole and bit him in the face of the ninja's terrified gaze.
"..."
Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment while wielding his twin swords.
Just when the Four-Tails thought that the enemy had been intimidated by him, Uchiha Hikaru activated Susanoo, spun around like a top, and quickly turned the surrounding monkeys into mincemeat.
With the monkeys all dead or wounded, all the chakra returned to the Four-Tails' body.
"You humans only know how to hurt small animals; you have no idea what love is!"
All you do is eat animal flesh! It's so cruel, so evil! I will represent the animals and exterminate you!
Four-tailed Beast thumped its chest, and its body grew rapidly larger.
"All you do is eat fruit, trees, and flowers; I'm going to represent the plants and wipe you out!"
Uchiha Hikaru also activated his Complete Susanoo at the same time.
Uchiha Hikaru's complete Susanoo is now the size of the Thousand-Armed Buddha, meaning it can be easily held in one hand by the Nine-Tails.
Faced with such overwhelming size, Susanoo stomped the Four-Tails under his foot and then activated the Eight Thousand Spears.
He absorbed from the bottom up, and as he absorbed a portion, he would swing his long sword and cut off a part of the four tails.
"what!"
The four tails let out a miserable scream.
Although Rōshi felt quite comfortable because the tailed beast had been extracted, he also felt deeply for the Four-Tails' screams: "Waaah, Kurumi, don't go! I don't want you to die! Why! Why!!! Just because I have no power~~~"
