Naruto: Menma Exiting Infinite Tsukuyomi

Chapter 205: You Damn Monkey, You Finally Decided to Come Out?

In the battlefield of Kuramako and Shisui versus Iwagakure and the Akatsuki.

The violent explosion caused the earth to tremble and wail incessantly. The Four-Tails' massive figure was obscured by the swirling dust.

A moment later, the sand and dust kicked up by the explosion gradually dissipated.

And in the area thousands of meters beyond the Four-Tails, everything around had long since been turned into a barren wasteland by the explosion. Only a terrifying black crater, with red-black magma and crystals flowing within it, appeared on the ground.

"Lady Tamamo, have you dealt with the Four-Tails?" Shisui repelled Sasori again and came behind Kuramako to ask.

Kuramako, without turning her head, said: "Tailed Beasts are not such easy things to deal with. Their recovery speed is far beyond what humans can compare to."

Although she didn't want to admit it, sealing techniques were still the most convenient way to deal with Tailed Beasts.

"However, that damn monkey has consumed so much chakra, it should have lost the ability to resist."

When the sand and dust completely dissipated, Kuramako's figure flickered, and she arrived in the huge vacuum zone.

The explosive impact caused by the collision of the two attacks just now had transformed this place into a harsh, magma-like environment.

Even stepping on it through her chakra and shoes, she could still feel a burning heat from the soles of her feet.

And from the gradually dispersing dust, the tall figure of the Four-Tails was also revealed.

However, compared to its previous majestic appearance, the Four-Tails' red fur was now charred black, and it lay on its side, its aura weak.

Seeing the culprit who had reduced it to this miserable state, it no longer had the strength or courage to raise a hand to counterattack, only emitting muffled groans of pain from its mouth, watching helplessly as this woman walked before it.

"Even Son Gokū, who's always talking about his steel sinews and iron bones, can't help but cry out at a time like this."

Looking at the listless giant Four-Tails, Kuramako smiled with great satisfaction, sizing up and admiring its current wretched state.

Her relationship with the other eight Tailed Beasts was definitely not too good. Now, beating up their counterparts naturally came with no psychological burden.

"ROAR! You damned brat!"

Feeling Kuramako's contempt, the Four-Tails once again grit its teeth in impotent rage.

"Hmph, brat?"

A mocking smile appeared on Kuramako's lips as she teased: "Then being stepped on by the 'brat' you speak of, how does it feel?"

Without waiting for the Four-Tails to respond, Kuramako threw another punch.

BOOM!!

A fist-shaped dent instantly appeared on its massive body.

"ROAR!!"

The Four-Tails, feeling the sharp pain, let out a stimulated roar. Its originally weak chakra fluctuation erupted like a final flicker of life.

A blackish-purple Tailed Beast Bomb slowly condensed in its mouth.

But before it could take shape, it was slapped by Kuramako. Its head was knocked to the side, and the Tailed Beast Bomb shot off into the distant forest.

"Gagaga! Damn brat!"

The Four-Tails grit its teeth, its tone fierce: "We Tailed Beasts are immortal! You can't kill me at all! When we meet next time, I will definitely take your life!"

"You really have a stubborn mouth, you damn monkey," Kuramako heard this and couldn't help but sneer. "Tailed Beasts are immortal? Take my life? Aren't you afraid of spraining your tongue in this strong wind? Even if you were given another few hundred years, you wouldn't even be worth a single one of my fox hairs!"

As her voice fell, she jumped onto the Four-Tails' back. The fox head condensed in her hand once again, aiming for the Four-Tails' four tails.

"You... what are you doing?!"

"Your four monkey tails... I'll be taking them as my spoils of war."

Instantly, the fox head's mouth opened wide and bit down fiercely.

"AWOOOO! You madwoman?!"

An excruciating, bone-piercing pain surged through its body. The Four-Tails' face instantly became twisted.

A torrent of chakra erupted from its body, and it randomly swung its arms, flailing wildly behind itself, attempting to shake Kuramako off.

But its cumbersome, massive body was like a living target in Kuramako's eyes.

Nimbly dodging the Four-Tails' frantic clawing attacks, she seized the opportunity to bite down fiercely again. With a "rip," she tore off another one of the Four-Tails' tails.

"ROAR ROAR ROAR!!"

The Four-Tails let out another pained, miserable cry, a look of terror appearing in its monkey eyes.

"How is this possible? My chakra... are you devouring my chakra?!"

As a chakra creation personally made by the Sage of Six Paths using Yin-Yang Release, it actually felt that the part of its chakra that was torn off had disappeared.

Meaning...

It had forever lost this part of its chakra?!

"Damn it, that's my chakra!!" The Four-Tails' eyes instantly turned red.

This was different from before. Now, every tail that was torn off was equivalent to losing a part of itself forever.

If this madwoman continued to tear and bite, even a Tailed Beast would be eaten clean.

"Brat, stop! Stop it!"

The Four-Tails roared while struggling in terror.

"It's just a little bit of your chakra. Can you not be so stingy, you damn monkey?"

Kuramako's actions didn't stop. She continuously tore and bit at the Four-Tails' tails, then assimilated and devoured them.

After a moment, all four tails had been devoured by her, leaving only a bare monkey's butt.

And because of the Four-Tails' continuous struggling and twisting, a pile of uneven bite marks were left on its body.

"Burp~ Thanks for the meal."

The giant fox head in her hand disappeared. Kuramako satisfyingly rubbed her stomach and let out a burp.

The Tailed Beasts themselves naturally didn't have this ability to devour each other. It was Menma who had injected her with a tube of an unknown, strange reagent that gave her this ability.

However, besides the Zero-Tails, this was the first time she had used it on a real Tailed Beast.

Now, having swallowed the Four-Tails' four tails, her ability to use chakra had risen, and she also possessed a much more substantial volume of chakra.

Just as Kuramako was pondering, she suddenly heard a strange sound from beneath her feet.

"Awooo wuwu wahhh!!"

She saw the originally majestic four-tailed giant ape burying its head in its arms, letting out sobs of grievance and pain.

"Why can humans devour a Tailed Beast's chakra? Can't you leave us Tailed Beasts a way to live?"

This sight was enough to make listeners shed tears and hearers feel sad.

"Hiss... you damn monkey, is it really that serious?"

Seeing this, Kuramako also grit her teeth: "It's just the chakra of four tails. Is it worth you getting so heartbroken?"

If it wasn't to test her ability to devour chakra, she wouldn't even deign to take this bit of impure chakra from the Four-Tails.

"Bullshit! This is too insulting to monkeys! You're bullying monkeys too much!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, the Four-Tails became even more annoyed and aggrieved.

"Do you think everyone is a damn rich household like that fox?! And... and you pulled off my tails! How can I face the other Tailed Beasts now?!"

Hearing this, Kuramako supported her forehead, a look of headache on her face.

She was a full man who didn't know a hungry man's hunger.

To her, this bit of chakra was naturally nothing.

She had had her chakra stolen many times before, but never thought much of that bit of chakra.

However, for the Four-Tails, whose chakra wasn't abundant, this was probably one-tenth of its total chakra.

"Stop, stop, stop crying. Let me think of a way!"

The Four-Tails' wailing subconsciously stopped. It looked at Kuramako blankly.

Could it be... she's going to give the tails back?

Kuramako pondered for a moment, a bright light suddenly flashing in her eyes.

"The tails definitely can't be returned to you, but..."

"I can pluck all the other Tailed Beasts' tails bald."

The Four-Tails was first shocked upon hearing this, then subconsciously began to think.

It, Son Gokū, may be simple-minded, but it wasn't a fool.

This madwoman had a physique and chakra comparable to a Tailed Beast, and also that bizarre ability to devour Tailed Beast chakra.

It definitely couldn't beat this woman in a fight. Getting its tails back was out of the question. It would be lucky not to be eaten mouthful by mouthful.

Then, the only option was to save its own skin and pull all the Tailed Beasts down to the same level.

When the time comes, everyone will be a bald-tailed beast, and no one can laugh at anyone else.

"Seems... feasible?"

The Four-Tails blinked its eyes, feeling secretly guilty: "Sorry, brothers. This wasn't my idea. I'm doing this to save my own life. If you want to blame someone, go blame this madwoman."

Although that's what it thought in its heart,

but... thinking of Kurama and the others with bald tails...

"Oh ho ho~"

An irrepressible smile slowly appeared on the Four-Tails' lips.

A fox, an octopus, and a tanuki without tails would be much more embarrassing than a monkey without a tail.

His heart was instantly balanced, and he even looked forward to it a little.

Oh no, it's a gorilla now. Gorillas don't have tails to begin with.

However, it feels like I forgot something.

Meanwhile,

Sasori of the Red Sand's fingers danced, one puppet after another rushing towards Shisui.

Both of them used all their skills, attacking each other. The ground beneath their feet was already littered with the wreckage of puppets.

The last puppet, besides the Third Kazekage, once again blocked Susanoo's attack. The impact from the sword blade caused the arm holding the weapon to start making cracking sounds.

Due to the overloaded attack, sparks flew from its various joints, and it soon completely broke apart.

"Troublesome fellow."

Sasori's arm hesitated as it reached behind him, looking as if he wanted to take something out.

But glancing at the battle between the two "monsters" that had ended, Sasori, without hesitation, pulled his fingers, and the Kazekage puppet quickly retracted from the front.

Carrying Sasori's main body behind the puppet, one after another, poison-laced iron sand spikes flew towards Shisui.

Taking advantage of the moment Shisui was blocking,

he casually pulled up the lifeless "Kakuzu" and then spread his iron sand wings, quickly flying into the air.

"...Looks like this is as far as it goes this time. I have no confidence I can handle two monsters."

With that, Sasori glanced at Deidara on the giant clay bird beside him, then left without looking back.

"Ah, leaving already?"

Seeing this, Deidara also showed a look of regret: "A pity. I still wanted to discuss the true meaning of art with that fellow artist."

Deidara also no longer hesitated, urging the white bird beneath his feet to turn around and fly towards Iwagakure.

Although he still had his ultimate art, C0 - Self-Destruction, which he hadn't used, there was no need to express his determination for art under these circumstances.

This incident not only showed him the vastness of the outside world but also let him witness even greater power and more perfect art.

After returning, he must research new art, striving to defeat them in their next meeting.

Shisui looked up at the two fleeing in the distance, pondering for a moment in his heart.

Finally, the green half-bodied giant surrounding him dissipated into chakra.

A strong premonition was constantly warning him.

This meant that those two very likely still had some tricks up their sleeves.

Shisui not only had no confidence he could safely keep the two, but also the need to kill them was not very great.

After all, the Four-Tails had fallen into their, Crimson Moon's, hands.

Letting the two, representing the Akatsuki and Iwagakure respectively, return safely could instead confuse the view of other forces in the ninja world and cause suspicion among them.

With that old fellow Ōnoki's cautious personality, he would definitely choose to hide the news of the Four-Tails' disappearance and then contact them, Crimson Moon, in secret.

How to deal with the Four-Tails then would still depend on the Lord Master's decision.

"Lady Tamamo, my side is resolved. You... what is this?"

Thinking this, Shisui appeared beside Kuramako with a Body Flicker.

He was about to say something but stared wide-eyed, astonished at the big monkey.

"Where are the Four-Tails' tails? Those four big tails?"

Kuramako scratched her mask with a finger, coughing lightly: "Ahem, what's with the fuss? Weren't they just plucked off by me?"

Hiss!

As expected of Lady Tamamo, to actually be able to do such a thing!

But... a Four-Tails without tails, can it still be called a Four-Tails?

Isn't this clearly...

A great gorilla?!

"Let's not worry about this for now."

Kuramako forcefully changed the subject: "First, while the Four-Tails has no ability to resist, use genjutsu to control the Jinchūriki and it."

Hearing this, Shisui nodded and came before the heavily injured Four-Tails.

Looking at the wounds on its body that were still constantly recovering, he couldn't help but marvel at the Tailed Beast's powerful life force.

Although with his current strength, he was sufficient to deal with a Tailed Beast, he had to admit the importance of Tailed Beasts as weapons of war.

Especially after becoming a perfect Jinchūriki, it meant the Tailed Beast became a controllable power, which was also a manifestation of a great ninja village's status.

"I wonder how Lord Master will dispose of this Tailed Beast."

With Iwagakure's style, they wouldn't give up a Jinchūriki and a Tailed Beast.

To take a step back, even if Iwagakure gave up the Jinchūriki and Tailed Beast, their Land of Snow could have the Uzumaki clan handle it, sealing the Four-Tails into a person again.

Shisui shook his head to shake off the chaotic thoughts, his Mangekyō Sharingan looking at the Four-Tails' pair of monkey eyes.

Just as he was preparing to release his Sharingan's pupil power,

"Wait a minute!"

The Four-Tails, originally lying obediently on the ground, suddenly spoke with Rōshi's wizened voice.

"Hmm?"

Kuramako let out a light hum, making the Four-Tails' massive body tremble.

"Please don't misunderstand. My meaning is, I can walk on my own."

As his voice fell, the Four-Tails' body began to shrink.

In less than a moment, it had transformed into Rōshi's body.

"I have a conflict with that fellow Ōnoki. Since I left the village, I never planned to go back."

Being watched by two "monsters," Rōshi explained with a stiff face: "If you trust me, I can go with you."

He was severely suppressed by Ōnoki in Iwagakure. He came out with the intention of becoming a "wandering monk."

Rather than being controlled by genjutsu, it was better to be obedient and also appreciate the fresh air outside.

"Of course I don't trust you."

Rejecting without hesitation, Kuramako then changed the subject: "But... I trust my fists."

"If you have any ulterior motives, I will completely devour the Four-Tails inside your body. You know very well the consequences of losing a Tailed Beast."
