Tailed chat

Tailed chat

"Hmm, If memory serves the tailed beast held by Suna is none other than the one tails. I was under the impression that the jinchuriki was kept hidden and yet your village would send such a person here to become a Chunin. I must say that you people are quite bold. Speaking of tailed beasts you guys should really do something about the seal on that thing as it's tormenting it's host at the moment." I said casually and the looks on the trio's faces changed in an instant.

The two with the red haired Jinchuriki looked panicked while the murderous intent of the red head intensified but it wasn't from the boy himself. No I could tell that it came from one tailed beast within him instead mostly because it was leaking from his chakra itself.

"Now what was it I said that could have made you so angry? Was it because I called you a thing or because I mentioned the tightening of the seals holding you down?" I asked curiously.

I couldn't exactly communicate with the nine tails thanks to the seals holding it down in Naruto being way better than whatever was going on with this red haired guy. So finding out that the tailed beasts weren't just unintelligent masses of chakra like I had been led to believe but could even understand speech and possibly even be able to talk themselves was a fascinating thing. Naturally I was curious about whether it was possible to open a dialogue between us if that was the case. Can you even imagine the sort of things that such an old individual knew? The tailed beasts were born many hundreds of years ago so naturally they had likely learnt quite a lot.-

"It wants to kill you, to kill everyone!" the red haired boy said hoarsely.

"That's unfortunate, I had hoped to have a conversation if possible now that I know that it can understand speech. For example perhaps to ask why all it and the nine tails seem so full of hatred and anger?" I said calmly.

"It.. answered you?" the boys expression morphed into one of shock and confusion as he spoke.

"Oh? Well go on them what did it say?" I asked eagerly.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

The jonin with the suna group finally snapped out of it at this point and had a dark expression for some reason as he dragged the trio away in a hurry.

"Always full of surprises aren't you Kenzo?" Kakashi muttered out loud.

I shrugged "Who knows, maybe it was always that easy to begin with and we've just been going about it wrong this whole time?" I said casually.

"It's possible, as the one tails said we shinobi have always treated the tailed beasts as monsters, tools and weapons of war rather than as people so they might be in the right to hate us. I'll need to report this to the Lord Hokage." the silver haired man said seriously before flickering away.

'Well that was an interesting and enlightening conversation, though I feel it will come back to bite me later. Oh well.' I thought before taking my leave as well.

Naruto pestered me quite a bit about talking to the nine tails but I flat out told him that due to the seals on him being the way they were I couldn't do it. The seals on the red haired boy whom I learnt was named Gaara on the otherhand were almost on the verge of not working at all which meant the beast within him was able to constantly mess with his mind and attempt to escape it's seal.-

It may as well have been unsealed for all the good that it was doing to keep the thing controlled. The Hokage was less than pleased when I got summoned the next day and chastised me for my actions. He was specifically talking about me suppressing the trio with my chakra which okay I admit was a touch overboard but it is what it is. Other than that he told me to keep my ideas on the sealing of the tailed beasts to myself as even if he understood that I might be right there was far too much invested in maintaining control over the beasts for the villages.-

Effectively I was told to shut my mouth and turn a blind eye to the plight of the tailed beasts which offended me a little. Not because I actually cared about what happens with the things but that he thought I'd actually act on such thoughts. I'm not stupid enough to try and release nine creatures so powerful that an entire village of shinobi BARELY managed to handle one of thirteen years ago. Much less when said creatures had made it clear that they REALLY didn't like us shinobi.
