Chapter 480: Meeting Gyuki
Chapter 480: Meeting Gyuki
While Bee had not the slightest clue what was going on, Naruto lifted his head, put it back on his neck, and started spinning it around, making it look like he was screwing it back on.
After doing so for a few seconds, he was done, and after tilting his head left, and right, he nodded in satisfaction.
“Yup, good as new.”
Bee managed to get out of his daze only after hearing Naruto speak.
“H-How did you do that.”
“Mhh? Do what?”
“T-Taking off your head.”
“Mah, isn’t that normal?”
“P-Pretty sure it isn’t.”
While Bee was still in disbelief about this whole matter, Yuna decided to continue the conversation.
“Issues about Naruto’s head aside, why did you bring us here?”
Bee shook his head and decided to let this matter go. Naruto clearly didn’t want to talk about it, and he wouldn’t force him either. He could only conclude that it probably had something to do with seals. Even someone like him, who spends all his time running around and rapping, had heard about the Uzumakis and their seals by now.
“I have a good reason for bringing you here. Since you gave me such a nice book, and we are fellow Jinchuuriki, I decided to help you with your Bijuus.”
While talking, he proudly took out a book that had two muscule men kissing on the cover and showed it to the duo. Obviously, this was the rap book Yuna got him.
“Haha, the book is no big deal. Just make sure to show it off as often as possible. However, what do you mean by ‘helping us with our Bijuu?”
Bee nodded his head and carefully stowed away the book before he resumed talking.
“Yes, here I learned how to control the power of the Hachibi, and I will help you do the same with the Kyuubi.”
Although Bee had heard about the Uzumaki clan’s seals, he clearly had not much information about Yuna and Naruto. Well, so far, the duo hadn’t displayed that they could perfectly use Kurama’s chakra too often, so it probably wasn’t weird for Bee not to know about it.
Yuna and Naruto chuckled in amusement when they heard Bee’s words.
“Sorry, but that won’t be necessary.”
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, his whole body got covered by a dense cloak of chakra that looked like a nine-tailed fox, while Yuna did the same, causing Bee’s chin to hit the floor.
[They actually befriended him, huh? I wasn’t expecting that.]
‘Yeah, especially after you told me that he probably was the most hostile of you nine.’
Despite his initial shock, a smile quickly appeared on Bee’s face. He didn’t care about politics and was only happy that his friend’s brother lived a good life.
“In that case, there is only one thing we can do.”
While Bee was talking, he lifted his right hand and pointed his fist at Yuna and Naruto.
“Let’s talk.”
Yuna and Naruto nodded their heads and fist-bumped Bee, resulting in all three of them feeling a familiar pull. Moments later, the trio found themselves at an intersection of three completely different worlds.
One was a serene, snow-covered forest with gigantic mountains as a backdrop. The second was a massive beach with clear water and white sand. Additionally, there was a gigantic ten-story-tall building that had the words “Ichiraku Ramen” written on it. And finally, there was an enormous sea with small islands spread throughout it.
While Bee appeared standing on the Hachibi’s head, Neither Kuramas could be seen when the trio appeared here.
The moment Naruto saw the Hachibi’s massive form, Naruto’S eyes shone with interest.
“Yo, you must be the Hachibi. Can you tell me your name?”
The Hachibi was slightly taken aback at how friendly Naruto was towards him. After all, he was a giant octopus with a human-like upper torso and a bull’s head. Unlike Kurama, who looked more or less like a regular fox, the Hachibi’s form was rather unusual.
A small smile appeared on his face when he noticed how open Naruto was despite his surprise.
‘I see; I guess someone like that should have a chance befriending that stubborn fox.’
“As you have said, I’m the Hachibi, and I was given the name Gyuki.”
“Ohh, that was much easier than with Kurama. Nice to meet you, Gyuki; I’m Naruto Uzumaki, and this is my sister, Yuna Uzumaki. Let’s be friends.”
Gyuki couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he heard Naruto instantly asking for his friendship with clear and innocent eyes. Additionally, since he knew Kurama’s name, it was pretty clear that Naruto really was friends with Kurama. After all, Kurama would never willingly give a human his name. The only way for that to happen was if he became friends with said human.
“Hahaha, I like you, Naruto. Very well, let’s be friends.”
Meanwhile, Yuna could only smile wryly at how easily Naruto befriended Gyuki.
‘What did Hisoka call this again? Talk-no-jutsu? The pathetically short name aside, it’s really effective, isn’t it.’
Even Bee couldn’t help but be surprised at how easily Gyuki caved in. Although Gyuki became significantly less rampant since Bee befriended him, he was still an ancient beast, so Naruto befriending him so quickly certainly wasn’t a matter of course.
Moments later, Gyuki looked around in confusion, wondering why Kurama still hadn’t appeared yet.
“Now that we are here, how come Kurama hasn’t come here as well?”
Yuna and Naruto glanced at each other before shrugging their shoulders.
“If I had to make a guess, it’s probably because they are engrossed in their new hobbies.”
“Yeah, it started with nee-sans half, but mine found himself a hobby a few months ago as well.”
“Hobby?”
Gyuki couldn’t help but be surprised about that. Somehow, he couldn’t see how Kurama could engross himself in a hobby. Who had ever heard of a giant fox having hobbies after all? His curiosity rose.
“Well, how about we go and find them then. I’m rather interested in what has Kurama this captivated.”
Yuna and Naruto simply nodded their heads and started walking along Naruto’s beach, quickly followed by Gyuki and Bee.
