Chapter 242: New Jinchiuriki? (3)
—
Samui of the Lightning Village had noticed the strange gas before it could make her fall asleep.
As a seductress Kunoichi, she had used sleeping gas to subdue her enemies many times in the past, so she was trained to hold her breath long enough to avoid getting caught in her own attack. She used that experience to stay awake enough for the gas to subside.
After the gas was no more, she first used an advanced form of Transformation Jutsu (that she had to learn given her job) she transformed into a black-and-white cat, and ran outside her room.
She ran around the Main Compound to confirm her suspicion. Everyone was asleep. Nobody else managed to avoid falling into the trap. However, she found all the branch members just fine. In fact, many of the branch members had gathered around the Gate and had their Byakugans focused on the Main Compounds' direction.
'Luckily I transformed into a cat.' Samui thought, realising the scheme she was seeing.
The branch was pulling something off. Something big.
Given they hadn't attacked the Main Family yet and the guards guarding the gate, their plan seemed to be happening outside the clan compounds.
Samui was conflicted. Should she make a move? Or not? This wasn't her mission, after all. But in the end, she decided to move despite her orders. She flanked around some guards and jumped outside the wall. She heard a few Hyugas yelling in her direction, but in the end they didn't bother following a cat.
It didn't take Samui long to find the chakra signatures of some Hyugas using her Sensory Jutsus. They were on the Hokage mountain, observing someone in the far distance that Samui couldn't see.
Transformed into a cat, she managed to get close enough to see the person they were looking at and also hear their conversation.
'The Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki?' Samui frowned. 'Also, aren't those two girls the personal maids of Neji?'
Just what was happening here?
—-
The Hyugas had no idea that they were being spied on since all their focus was on the blonde boy, cloned into dozens of himself, training rigorously to make some kind of Jutsu.
He had around a dozen clones, unlike hundreds that he had in the day when Hazami first checked up on him. It meant that the boy was tired, yet his expression was scary as he trained. In his tired focus on a single thing, the chances of him noticing the assassination attempt is very low.
"That Jutsu… it looks similar to the one Neji used to defeat Hiashi." said Hazami Hyuga, a distant cousin of Hiashi, who was also the leader of this coup. "It's strong, but the boy isn't using the Nine-Tails' Chakra to make it."
In fact, the Beast's Chakra was being very much suppressed by "Yamato", the Jounin who can use wood style.
Hazami explained to the two ladies beside him about what Yamato was doing by sitting within pillars of woods.
These two ladies were special, they had no chakra yet could use Bloodline Limits. At first, when the blue-&-pink-haired woman offered him the idea of a coup, he thought it was a test from Neji, but he was glad he took the offer after some long judgement. Because this wasn't a bait, this was the greatest opportunity ever.
If their plan went right, which he knew it will, Hazami will get the seat of Clan Head since Hiashi was too injured. Not only that, these two beautiful ladies… as gorgeous as the Fifth Hokage, they will also be his.
Once he was done explaining to the ladies, the woman named Kiana nodded.
"Alright. If what you say is true, we should keep the Jounin around. In case anything goes wrong, he will help contain the Fox as much as he can." Kiana said and he nodded. She had a point. "Then, let's start."
Kiana crouched down and everyone saw as her right arm changed, taking the form of a big elongated fleshy sniper rifle, as it rested on the ground. She put her eyes on the scope, soon nodding to Hazami.
"Yes, I can get a shot from here." She said and Hazami was impressed.
They were at least a kilometre away from Naruto, and it made sense that the ten Hyugas here could see him, since they were 10 of the best Hyugas around, but it was impressive that this woman could see so far herself, and even confident in taking a shot.
Hazami was fairly familiar with the idea of firearms that was getting popular lately. But he knew their capabilities weren't this good. Even the greatest of long-distance Jutsu couldn't be cast from this far.
…This just made him want this woman more. Strong women were his weakness.
"Alright, let me guide you to the real one. All the others are clones, hitting them wouldn't do." Hazami said as he poured more chakra into his eyes to locate the real Naruto.
When he found him a minute later, he told Kiana the coordinates.

The Nine Tailed beast, Kurama, was angry. First his current host was a pussy, a bitch who couldn't get into the pants of a girl, and second that Jounin brat with the excuse of Wood Release who actually dared to suppress her! If not for the 4th Hokage's seal, she would have torn out of Naruto and shoved her claw through that Jounin.
But alas, this seal was too powerful.
The reason why Kurama let out a helping hand to a cuck like Naruto in his desperate times was that she would die too if he were to die. Of course, it would not be a permanent death, as a Tailed Beast always reincarnated when killed, but due to the Right Trigrams Seal, unlike the other Tailed Beasts it would take at least a decade for her chakra to reform on its own.
Though since Jiraiya undid the seals a bit – enough to let Naruto use up til Six Tails without getting corrupted – Kurama wouldn't die. But sadly she wasn't exactly sure what'd happen to her, maybe she would get simply freed, or maybe she would lose her mind and go into a frenzy. Maybe even something wild like losing all her memories or something worse, she couldn't be sure.
As Kurama sighed, irritated and frustrated at the recent development of things, her ears twitched.
'Hm?' She turned her head to the side, sensing someone in the far. As a being made of chakra, her chakra sensing was great, so she could clearly sense the 11 Chakra signatures in the far, all of their attention focused on Naruto, and thereby herself.
Strange thing was, she could sense two civilians amongst the strong Chakras too. Two extra presences, who had no chakra, but only had life force. What was this weird mixture of people doing there-
-Chip!
A thin sound cut through the air as Kurama felt something run through her skull. Something long, solid, and powerful.
"Groaarrrrr!"
Kurama yelled in pain, but she soon realised it wasn't her who got shot. It was Naruto, and at that moment she was forcefully being erected out of Naruto's... dead body.
Naruto had died.
Kurama emerged from within the boy's dead body, her body burning as if she was thrown into the pits of hell, and she noticed the wood-style-user Jounin freeze in his spot as he failed to contain her.
With another painful roar, as her mind started to go blank, Kurama moved forward and shoved her finger through the Jounin's body (even though her body wasn't fully formed), breaking through the defence of wood he managed to erect at the last second, and killing him immediately.
In the meantime, the presences she had noticed before ran to her, ten of them immediately surrounded her and started to form hand signs to activate the hateful ‹Eight Trigrams Sealing Style›.
Kurama's mind was going blank, but to escape from all this pain and the possibility of being sealed within another person, she forced herself to think.
There she noticed the two civilians she sensed before. They were taking a spot behind the strongest Hyuga, hiding from her. Her instincts told her that either of them were to be the Jinchiurikis. So, she couldn't let that happen! Not inside a dirty civilian!
Not sure which one of them was to be the Jinchiuriki, and which one was the backup if the other one died, Kurama decided to destroy them. She tried to form a tailed beast bomb, but failed. The seal was slower than the 4th Hokage, but it was working already, moreover her existence was shaken.
With a growl, Kurama used her entire will to push her chakra into the civilian girls, in hope to break them from the inside.
Unfortunately, in her current form, that was a bad idea as she felt her existence was severed in two and rather than killing the civilians, she felt her separate existences… merge with the both of them.
….
In a matter of seconds, two Nine-Tailed beasts started to rampage on the Hokage Mountain of Konoha.
