As a Jinchuriki, Blue B was often looked down upon by the people around him. Even Killer Bee in the future could not escape this cold treatment. There's a common joke that while other Jinchuriki were isolated by their villagers, Killer Bee was the one who isolated all of Kumogakure by himself. Of course, that's just a lighthearted joke. Killer Bee's actual situation wasn't much better than the others; he simply possessed a very broad-minded personality and was exceptionally open about his circumstances. If you don't factor in his status as the Hero's Son, Naruto's treatment was actually quite decent compared to most Jinchuriki.
Third Raikage—
Gyuki snorted two streams of hot air from its massive nostrils, glaring angrily at the Third Raikage. It had no positive feelings for Kumogakure, and as the leader of the village, the Third Raikage was naturally the focus of its most intense hostility. Minato gently raised his hand, signaling for Gyuki to calm down. As for the Two-Tails, I'll entrust it to your care as well, Gyuki.
Ah, leave it to me.
Gyuki said, flicking its tail behind its body, and a section of an octopus tentacle fell off. Minato raised his hand and pressed it onto the abdomen of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, breaking the Seal and simultaneously sealing Gyuki's severed tail into the woman's body. Within the sealing space, a large cat burning with blue flames curiously observed the blonde shinobi.
Nice to meet you, my name is Minato Namikaze, and I'm here to release you, Minato said as he raised his fist.
Ah, I see.
The Two-Tails raised its paw and placed it against Minato's fist. My name is Matatabi, please take care of me. As its voice fell, Minato suddenly raised his hand on the outside and pulled Matatabi out of the Jinchuriki's body. Seeing that both of the village's Tailed Beasts had been released, the Third Raikage's expression was somewhat displeased. However, since the bet was made in front of so many people, he wouldn't go back on his word. Of course, the most crucial thing was that he simply couldn't defeat Minato.
Unlike Gyuki's excitement, Matatabi appeared relatively calm. It wasn't naturally belligerent, and its personality was known to be relatively gentle among the Tailed Beasts.
Can I destroy them?
Gyuki looked at Minato, and upon hearing this, the Third Raikage immediately became wary. If it were just the Eight-Tails, he could handle it, but there was also the Two-Tails standing next to it, and the Amber Purifying Pot had also been taken by Minato. If a conflict truly broke out, Kumogakure would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses. Minato shook his head. If we destroy them, the Tailed Beasts will completely stand against humanity, and I don't want that.
Alright, for your Face.
Gyuki said in a booming voice. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't actively harm humans. The Third Raikage finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Jishi looked at Minato in total astonishment. This kid can actually coexist peacefully with Tailed Beasts?
How did you do it? he asked, looking puzzled.
Less scheming, more sincerity.
Minato smiled. Perhaps it's because I don't need the power of the Tailed Beasts, so I can Face them more openly?
Sincerity, huh—
The Third Raikage sighed slightly. For Ninja villages that needed to rely on the power of Tailed Beasts, this condition was not met from the very start. He was silent for a moment, then looked at Gyuki and Matatabi, and spoke seriously. From now on, Kumogakure will no longer capture Tailed Beasts. I hope that one day we can be honest with each other and work together hand in hand.
Hmph, I hope so.
Gyuki snorted, but inwardly, he thought a little more highly of the Third Raikage. Minato nodded slightly to the leader. My business here is done, so I'll take my leave now.
Take care.
The Third Raikage nodded. Although he had lost to Minato and had the Tailed Beasts taken from him, after these two encounters, his impression of Minato wasn't bad. Polite, gentle, generous, and commanding respect through virtue—he was actually quite convinced by the boy. If Minato were from his Kumogakure, he would probably wake up laughing from a dream.
For the next few days, I'll still need your help, Gyuki.
Minato looked at the two Tailed Beasts behind him. Matatabi, do you have any plans?
Can I follow you?
Matatabi's voice was a deep, mature woman's voice, with a hint of laziness in its majesty.
Hmm—are you suggesting I become your Jinchuriki?
Minato asked somewhat uncertainly. To be honest, Minato quite liked Matatabi. After all, who wouldn't like a big cat, especially one with blue flame skin? However, he had no intention of becoming a Jinchuriki. With his current strength, the Tailed Beasts couldn't help him much; instead, they would be hampered by their life connection. If anything, only the Nine-Tails could offer him some real assistance.
I'm fine with anything. After being sealed by humans once, I realized that the power of the Tailed Beasts is strong, but not invincible. Even the mighty Nine-Tails couldn't escape the fate of being sealed.
Matatabi lazily lay down, raised a paw, and gently stroked Minato's head with its paw pad. Your strength is quite good. Also, I remember the Nine-Tails is also in Konoha. Staying with you should be more stable. The key is that you're very handsome, and I don't dislike it. Minato looked at Gyuki, who shrugged. Matatabi likes pretty things.
In that case, I can introduce you to a partner.
A beautiful Face suddenly flashed through Minato's mind. She's my girlfriend, from the Uchiha Clan. They're famously cat lovers. If you two can get along, could you lend her your power?
Hmm—we can try to get acquainted.
Matatabi nodded. Being your girlfriend, her appearance shouldn't be bad either.
Is appearance the key point—
Minato chuckled, realizing that Tailed Beasts were also appearance-conscious. What about Gyuki? After releasing the other Tailed Beasts, what are your plans? Minato asked.
I plan to find a quiet place to live, but I'll leave you my Chakra. If you need any help, just come find me, Gyuki said in a booming voice.
I understand. Let's go then!
Minato glanced at the direction. Next, we'll head west towards the Land of Earth, passing through the Land of Waterfalls to release the Seven-Tails along the way.
Then let's go!
Matatabi said, grabbing Minato's collar and placing him on its head. Minato had thought that the flames flickering on Matatabi were real, but when he touched them, he realized there was no burning sensation at all.
As long as I don't want to, I won't burn you.
Matatabi's voice sounded a bit tsundere. Minato couldn't help but smile. Thank you then. The Kumogakure Ninja watched the two giant beasts depart with complex expressions. Although they didn't like Tailed Beasts either, it didn't mean they were willing to let others take this power away. Especially seeing Minato and the Tailed Beasts getting along so harmoniously, it made them feel like they had been outsmarted.
In the wilderness, the two giant beasts galloped rapidly, heading towards the Land of Earth. Along the way, Ninja from some surrounding countries who saw this scene were all deeply shaken and kept their distance. Soon, news of Minato controlling the Tailed Beasts reached various factions. Upon hearing the news, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Onoki both looked worried.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: What exactly is this kid trying to do?
Onoki: Oh no, this kid is coming for me!
