Chapter 78 - Chapter 80 (1/2)
The group of three were flying in the sky towards a mountain in the distance. B that was the conscious jinchuriki of the two took the time to admire this view. You just didn't get this every day.
”Is my brother dead?” B said while looking at Dragon that was flying beside him while carrying the Yugito.
”No. But there is a high chance that he will be at the end of the day.” Dragon said without letting his complex emotions run wild.
”If you try again. I'll stop you, ya fool!” B said and regained his normal speech pattern.
”If I desire his death at the end of this day, then he will die. And you couldn't do anything the first time around so nothing will change the second time around.” Dragon shot down B immediately and he didn't give him time to respond to it either.
”We've arrived.” Dragon dove towards a plateau sticking out of the mountain and he landed on it together with B and the girl hanging over his shoulder.
”Now let me tell you what I came here to do.” Dragon said and placed Yugito carefully on the ground.
”I am here to have a chat with these two tailed beasts. It would be so much easier if you didn't refuse. So I am going to proceed now. Don't fight it.”
Dragon pointed one finger at both of them and a string of chakra flew out from his finger and invaded both Jinchuriki's.
Inside a blank white space. Two massive chakra beasts stood with each beasts having a person on top of their head. And in front of them stood Dragon with his majestic aura for all inside this space to experience.
”Matatabi, Gyuki, how are you doing?” Dragon said and looked at both chakra beasts.
”Dragon. It's been a long time since I heard that name.” Matatabi said while reminiscing on her past.
”What do you want, Dragon. You have been quiet for years and suddenly your here attacking our village.” Gyuki said with what looked like anger but was really just annoyance.
”Your village? You finally accepted that you belong here?” Dragon asked Gyuki specifically.
”I don't belong anywhere. But this is my host's home, and that also makes it my home of sorts.” The eight tails said.
”That's right, ya fool!” B said while sitting lotus style on his head.
”What about you Matatabi? Is this your home?”
”My answer lies with Gyuki. This is my host's home, so that makes it my home as well.” The monster cat said with some mix of emotion.
”Then let me ask you something. If I can give you freedom, would you take it?” Dragon saw the emotions twist within the beasts and they both stood still there staring at him.
”If you mean to kill Yugito then I will fight with her to defeat you,” Matatabi said after a while. This earner her a smile from Yugito herself.
”I feel the same for B. I will protect him from harm,” Gyuki said directly after the monster cat. Both beasts looked determined in this cause.
”I wouldn't hurt them. I can offer freedom without harming your host.”
You could see the emotions on the beasts go from one to another in quick succession. They both stood there still and stared at Dragon for a while.
Ultimate freedom away from humans was all the beasts dream. No matter how much they got along humans were still their prison. And nothing would change that fact.
”Why would you do that?” Matatabi asked. The monster fox could feel the change in Yugito's emotions. It appears the girl was getting a little nervous about the cat's answer.
”I despise the creation of jinchuriki. I have the ability to free you and take you to a place that no human will ever be able to target you again.”
Both beasts could feel no lie in Dragon's words so that most likely meant he was speaking the truth.
”What if they decide to stay?” Yugito asked. She had not shown as much resistance as Dragon was expecting her to.
”Then they will live in the outside world. My plan is to unite the villages, and the creations of jinchuriki's will be forbidden.” Dragon looked at the girl and she took a step back when faced with the gaze from the emperor.
