Although he was not a perceptive ninja, the obvious chakra fluctuations coming from the ground were enough for any ninja who could use chakra to identify the direction.
Izuna also rushed forward, and the vibration became stronger.
A bull's head, the tail of an octopus.
Isn't that the Eight-Tails?
It had been a year since Izuna traveled to the Warring States Period of the Naruto world. Looking back carefully, he hadn't heard anything about tailed beasts until now.
If he hadn't happened to hear about it today, he would have almost forgotten that tailed beasts existed in this world.
Jumping on the tree trunk, Izuna leaped through the trees and entered the mountainous area.
This was likely the border area between the Land of Fire and the northern Land of Hot Water.
Boom-Boom-Boom~
The vibrations coming from beneath his feet grew stronger.
When he reached a hillside, there was a stream in front of him, rushing down the cliff to form a waterfall.
Under the waterfall, a dark red beast with a bull's head and horns, and a bizarre lower body composed of eight octopus tentacles, was enjoying the waterfall's wash while humming an off-key tune.
It was the Eight-Tails, Gyuuki!
"La la la~~ I am the invincible Gyuuki~~"
While humming, the Eight-Tails shook its massive body like a mountain, occasionally colliding with the walls of the canyon around the waterfall. These movements caused earthquakes in an area several miles around.
"Haha~~"
Hearing the Eight-Tails' awful singing, Izuna couldn't help but laugh out loud.
No wonder he gets along with Killer B in the future. After seeing this scene, Izuna felt he understood a little.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the Eight-Tails stopped humming and turned to look at Izuna on the mountain wall above and to the right, "A human?"
After staring for a while, the Eight-Tails turned its head back and continued humming, obviously ignoring Izuna, "La la la~~ I am the invincible Gyuuki-sama~~"
Tailed beasts were chakra entities born during the time of the Sage of Six Paths. Judging by the Eight-Tails' current state, it had been living a secluded life away from the human world for centuries.
The reason he was later captured by ninjas and imprisoned in a jinchuriki's body was likely due to Senju Hashirama and the schemes of Uchiha Madara.
But of course, a bigger reason might be Black Zetsu, the manipulative shadow pulling the strings behind the scenes, who was still hiding somewhere, unknown.
After all, tailed beasts were essential for the resurrection of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
"This is the first time I've been ignored."
Izuna disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of the Eight-Tails, standing on the river's surface, with chakra emitting from his feet.
The Eight-Tails' singing stopped again, and it frowned at this human, who was only the size of a mosquito compared to its massive form. "Hey, human, what do you want?"
Izuna smiled slightly. "At first, I just wanted to meet you, but after seeing you, I changed my mind."
"Um!?"
The Eight-Tails' eyes shifted.
"Eight-Tails, become my summon."
Izuna stretched out his hand and said, "I need your strength."
Izuna had been suffering from the side effects of his Mangekyō Sharingan, constantly thinking about how to reduce its burden.
But when it came to further enhancing his strength, wasn't Uchiha Madara, who controlled the Nine-Tails during his legendary battle with Hashirama, a prime example?
Although Madara ultimately lost, the severe injuries he inflicted on Hashirama directly accelerated his death.
The issue, however, was that Madara used the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to forcibly control the Nine-Tails.
"Who do you think you're talking to, brat? I'm Gyuuki!"
The Eight-Tails roared, and the impact of the sound waves caused the waterfall's water to splash backward, demonstrating how terrifying the Eight-Tails' power was.
After roaring, the Eight-Tails lowered its head and moved closer to Izuna, speaking in a menacing tone. "Also, I have no interest in being your summon! Leave now, and I might forgive you for disturbing my singing."
If only it were that simple...
Izuna shook his head slightly, a smirk forming on his face. Such power was too tempting to pass up.
"If you knew there was a mountain of gold behind a door, would you just leave because the door blocked you?"
Izuna asked rhetorically.
The Eight-Tails raised an eyebrow. Possessing intelligence equal to that of humans, it understood Izuna's implication.
"Get lost!"
The Eight-Tails raised its massive fist, like a falling meteor, blocking out the sun above Izuna.
Boom!!!
The Eight-Tails' fist struck, sending water soaring over a hundred meters high. Rocks cracked and shattered, scattering in all directions.
The entire valley quaked violently, on the verge of collapsing.
Whoosh!
Izuna leaped to the mountain wall on the left, using chakra to cling to the wall with his feet.
"Such tremendous power... If unleashed on the battlefield, it could certainly turn the tide of war."
Muttering to himself, Izuna quickly leaped away as the Eight-Tails' second punch came crashing down!
Boom!!!
Stone fragments flew, and the mountain wall crumbled!
The mountain was shattered!
