Chapter 275: The Death of the Third Raikage!
"Hello, Teacher Nara!"
Samui performed a respectful, near-180-degree bow, showcasing the flexibility of her waist. "I am Samui of Kumogakure, nine years old. From now on, I will be in your care!"
Samui? Not Yugito Nii?!
Keisuke looked at the little blonde girl, and a series of large question marks appeared above his head. His memory wasn't that bad. He knew who Kumo's Jinchuriki were, and he definitely wouldn't confuse Yugito and Samui. As a connoisseur of blonde, large-breasted women, how could he not know Samui? Her future "scale" was on par with his fat sheep... but could this flat-chested little girl really grow to—no, that's not the point!
He whipped his head around and glared at his Raikage-clone. 'What is the meaning of this?! Why is the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Samui instead of Yugito?!'
'Relax. Samui also has the aptitude to bear the Two-Tails' chakra. I've already verified it...' "Nara-Raikage" winked back, signaling his main body to calm down. As a "clone," he would never mess up his main body's plan—ah, no, his hobby.
Back when the real Third Raikage was in charge, Kumo had begun the selection process for the next Jinchuriki. Among the very few candidates, both Yugito and Samui were on the list. They were about the same age, but in terms of talent and strength, Yugito was in a league of her own. Barring any accidents, she would have been the one chosen.
However, considering a certain "personal preference," the moment "Nara-Raikage" took over, he decisively changed the candidate. As long as the Tailed Beast didn't deliberately cause trouble, the Jinchuriki's own combat power didn't really matter. In the original history, Yugito had become a Jinchuriki, mastered her Tailed Beast's power... and then she got captured by Hidan and Kakuzu.
Since he didn't need a child soldier, and talent wasn't an issue, "Nara-Raikage" naturally chose the one who was... easier on the eyes. Of course, he hadn't mentioned this change of plans to his main body. As for all the "mission" objectives he had given Samui... 'He'll find out when the clone's memories return. Why waste time telling him now?'
Keisuke could see the "rebellious bone" that had grown in his clone. 'Even if Samui has the aptitude... what's this about 'Teacher Nara'?!'
'Never mind that. If you don't do something, that little girl's back is going to break,' the clone gestured with his eyes.
'You rebellious son!' Keisuke inwardly grit his teeth. But in front of the girl, he couldn't just use Dust Release to send his clone to meet the Sage of Six Paths. 'Just you wait! I'll scatter your ashes!'
"You may rise," Keisuke said, his voice calm. "I am aware of your situation. You will stay by my side from now on, Samui."
This was his plan all along. If he was going to "steal" the Two-Tails, he couldn't just let the Jinchuriki run free. He had to raise her himself. He even had a contingency plan: if she proved disobedient, he would just extract Yugito and put her in a Konoha ninja. With his sealing techniques, it would be simple.
"Yes, Teacher Nara!" Samui stood up straight, as if her sore back didn't bother her at all. She took the opportunity to get a good look at him. 'Teacher Nara is so handsome!'
In Kumogakure, a village of dark-skinned ninja, her own pale skin and blonde hair had always made her stand out. Looking at Keisuke, she felt as if her eyes had been cleansed. But she did not forget her mission. 'Learn from him; spy on Konoha; master the Two-Tails' power... Cool!'
Keisuke, unaware of her inner thoughts, was about to correct her form of address, but decided to put it off. "Since everyone is here, let's begin," he said, gesturing for Samui to approach the Tailed Beast. "Yugito, I'm using the sealing jutsu now."
The Two-Tails, Yugito, just rolled its eyes, not deigning to reply. If not for those terrifying Adamantine Sealing Chains, it would have shown this ninja a thing or two. Its silence was taken as consent.
Samui approached the giant cat, holding her breath. As Keisuke's hands flew through seals, the [Four Symbols Seal] began to glow in his palms. He pressed one hand to Yugito, sealing its chakra into a small mass, and then pressed both hands onto Samui's abdomen, activating the [Eight Trigrams Sealing Style].
Sizzle—
The girl's clothes disintegrated at the point of contact, and the complex sealing formula burned itself onto her skin. "Ngh—" The massive influx of chakra made her cry out in pain, but she grit her teeth and bore it. When the last of the chakra was sealed, Keisuke removed his hands. The seal faded and disappeared.
"All done."
The moment he spoke, Samui, having held on through sheer willpower, gave him a weak smile, and then promptly fainted.
Perfect. Her fainting gave him the time he needed to deal with his clone.
"Nara-Raikage," seeing his main body's cold stare, opened his arms wide. "Let's do it! Don't hold back just because I'm a real man!"
