Naruto: Scourge of the Ninja World

"Chomei! Up ahead—is that the Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Gekko Chizan stared at the silhouette in his view and, to confirm the identity, quickly asked his partner within.

"Most likely. I can sense an unusual chakra fluctuation from him, and he seems a bit anxious."

"Chizan, we should get out of here! Or else we'll be dragged into this."

Gekko Chizan nodded, then turned and tossed a kunai with an explosive tag at the head of the pursuing Kokuō, before instantly activating Flying Thunder God.

"Boom!"

The explosive tag detonated on Kokuō's head, provoking another thunderous roar of fury.

She'd gone mad! That little bug dared to bomb her face with an explosive tag?

Did he not know how much she cherished her face?

He must die! Absolutely must be stomped flat!

It had to be said—Gekko Chizan really knew how to attract hate. When hitting someone, you avoid the face; but he aimed right at it.

What's worse, he even knew Kokuō was female, making his action all the more outrageous.

Unfortunately, just as the enraged Kokuō was ready to vent her wrath, she realized something.

That little bug had vanished!

Yes, disappeared! Right under her nose.

Outrageous! How dare he insult a beast like this!

Having lost her target, Kokuō went berserk.

She began to destroy everything around her in a wild frenzy. Trees? Stomped. Rocks? Stomped. Hills? Stomped.

People? Crushed!

Wait—people?

Yes, another person appeared in Kokuō's line of sight.

"Lava Release!"

In an instant, dozens of lava fireballs launched into the sky and rained down directly on Kokuō's forehead under her furious gaze.

"Five-Tails! Stop your rampage! Or else... hmph!"

Roshi stood atop a tree, his entire body exuding a thick fighting spirit.

Roshi of the Lava Release—not because the Four-Tails used it, but because Roshi himself possessed this kekkei genkai.

And his Lava Release, just like the Four-Tails', was formed by fusing fire and earth.

From this alone, Roshi was undoubtedly the most suitable Jinchuriki for the Four-Tails.

Precisely because of this, Roshi was considered an almost perfect Jinchuriki—though his relationship with the Four-Tails was still a bit... awkward.

"Roar!!"

You don't hit someone in the face—don't you know that?!

That bastard dared hit Kokuō's face again!

In that moment, Kokuō's rampage grew even more savage. With a new target, she charged straight at Roshi.

"Hmph! So it's impossible to wake up Han with words..."

"No choice left. I'll have to suppress the Five-Tails."

"Tailed Beast Cloak—Lava Release Chakra Mode!"

A massive blaze engulfed Roshi, and in an instant, a tail appeared behind him—a cloak of tailed beast chakra enveloping him.

With the tailed beast's power, Roshi pushed off the tree with force and charged at Kokuō, setting the ground beneath him ablaze with his heat.

Though tailed beasts were terrifying, that was only true for ordinary people. To a fellow Jinchuriki like Roshi, the current Five-Tails was nothing but a mindless beast.

Its enormous size only made it a bigger target.

Practically an indestructible one.

"Lava Release! Scorching Rocks Jutsu!"

Again, dozens of magma bombs were launched toward the Five-Tails' head.

Meanwhile, Roshi rapidly approached, aiming to leap onto the beast's body to maximize his attack's effectiveness.

"Roar!"

This time, the Five-Tails didn't just stand there and take the hit. She slightly lowered her head, letting her long horn jut forward, and in the next second—she charged.

"Hmph!"

Roshi had previously joined other village shinobi in subduing a rampaging Five-Tails, so he was familiar with her combat style.

Seeing her about to charge, Roshi immediately leapt and landed squarely on the Five-Tails' back.

"Lava Release! Scorching Armoured Fist!"

Now on the beast's back, Roshi erupted with power again. Lava swirled around him as he pounded his fists into the Five-Tails.

Thus began the clash between a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast.

"Damn, this Jinchuriki's got some real skills."

"Son Goku really fused that well with him?"

"Lava Release being tossed around like nothing."

Thanks to Flying Thunder God, Gekko Chizan had already escaped the battle zone and was now several kilometers away from the Five-Tails.

Perched on a tree, he watched Roshi maneuvering around Kokuō with astonishment.

"Your insect eyes are slacking. That guy already had the Lava Release kekkei genkai. Using Son Goku's power wouldn't be hard for him."

"Huh? He has Lava Release?"

"Why else would he have been chosen as Son Goku's Jinchuriki?"

"That makes sense. Same root source—fusion would naturally be much smoother."

Watching Roshi unleash his full might on the battlefield, Gekko Chizan couldn't help but sigh.

Roshi could truly be called a perfect Jinchuriki—the first of his kind.

The relationship between him and Son Goku wasn't nearly as hostile as it might've seemed. Having become a Jinchuriki since childhood, Roshi had long since won over Son Goku's heart.

Unfortunately, both man and beast were stubborn. Neither ever broke the silence between them, not even in death.

"This show's just getting started."

"A simple tailed beast cloak, or even a half-transformation, won't stop a berserk Kokuō."

"Son Goku will have to step in personally."

"Chomei, how long do you think he can last?"

Gekko Chizan's goal was to get two tailed beasts to fight. Just Jinchuriki alone wasn't enough.

Chomei chuckled, sharing his thoughts:

"Kokuō may lack offensive techniques, but her chakra can become steam. Even if that Jinchuriki is strong, he won't last long."

Gekko Chizan nodded in agreement. As a tailed beast that had lived for over a thousand years, Kokuō's tricks weren't limited to just that.

Her rampage might cloud her judgment, but it didn't affect her strength.

"We'd better move even farther away. With your insect vision, we'll still be able to see clearly."

"When Son Goku shows up, this place won't be safe anymore."

With those words, Gekko Chizan vanished once more.

This time, he reappeared at the location where he had previously relocated Minato and Fugaku.

As soon as he landed, he heard Fugaku's irate yelling and Minato's helpless rebuttal.

"Damn it! Why don't you know medical ninjutsu?!"

"I'm a combat ninja! Why would I know medical ninjutsu?!"

Gekko Chizan: Medical ninjutsu? Has Fugaku lost his mind?

"Damn! My chakra's recovering too slowly. Minato, what about you?"

"Just as slow. But Fugaku, look—the Five-Tails seems to be getting held back. What are those bursts of red light? Why is she attacking so wildly all of a sudden?"

The two of them were completely drawn to the distant tailed beast. Even from dozens of kilometers away, the sheer size of the beast made it impossible to miss.

"You two still have the leisure to watch a show?"

Hearing the voice, Fugaku and Minato jumped in shock and turned around.

There, the Gekko Chizan they had been waiting on was standing with a playful smirk, watching them both.
