" I understand, but remember that my chakra is not unlimited as you claim. What distinguishes us Tailed Beasts is our high chakra recovery speed, " Chomei warned in a serious tone.
" Oh, I see. " Sean nodded, then cut off the connection with Chomei and stared with his red eyes, the three tomoe within them spinning like gears at the scene below.
" So this is the Hidden Cloud Village… home to one of the strongest ninja of this era, " Sean muttered with narrowed eyes, flapping his wings as he recalled information about the village and the Third Raikage.
The Third Raikage was currently the strongest among the Five Kage. The only one who might pose a threat to him was the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.
He clenched and unclenched his fist, murmuring thoughtfully under his breath, " It's best to avoid confronting him for now! "
" Chomei, I remember that you Tailed Beasts can communicate with each other no matter the distance… "
His voice echoed in the spiritual space, waking Chomei who was lazily lying down.
" You certainly know a lot about us Tailed Beasts, Sean… " Chomei commented with narrowed eyes, though he did not press Sean to reveal the source of his information.
" I don't know where you got this information, but you're right. We can indeed communicate with each other. Why do you ask!? "
" When Hashirama Senju distributed you among the ninja villages, the Hidden Cloud Village obtained both Matatabi, the Two-Tails, and Gyuki, the Eight-Tails… "
" Sean, honestly, your body cannot withstand sealing another Tailed Beast, " Chomei warned seriously, thinking that Sean was after other Tailed Beasts to seal them inside himself just as he had done with him.
Sean was stunned when he heard Chomei's words. He shook his head, clarifying the misunderstanding. " You misunderstood me. I don't intend to seal other Tailed Beasts inside my body. For now, you alone are enough. Yes, my goal in coming here is to target your companions, but not to seal them… "
" As you can see, with my current strength, I cannot suppress all the villages targeting the Land of Whirlpools. So I thought carefully about it and came up with an improvised plan… "
" The only way to stop the other ninja villages from sending forces to destroy the Land of Whirlpools is to divert their attention to something else… something that will keep them busy… "
" What's your plan? " Chomei asked curiously.
Sean answered coldly, " War! "
" War!? Didn't you say that with your current strength you can't face the ninja villages? "
Sean let out a laugh that unsettled Chomei, who was confused.
" I never said I would go to war against them. I intend to act behind the scenes and spread chaos in the ninja world… "
" In your opinion, what would the Hidden Mist Village do if the Hidden Cloud Village attacked it? " Sean asked, not waiting for Chomei's answer before continuing.
" And what do you think the Hidden Sand Village would do if the Hidden Mist Village attacked it!? "
" You intend to incite war between the ninja villages… " Chomei's eyes darkened at Sean's extreme idea.
" Incite war? " Sean shook his head. " The war has already begun. What I'm doing is simply intensifying it. Do me a favor and try to contact Matatabi. Tell her I want to make a deal with her… "
" Tell her I can grant her freedom! "
Chomei nodded, agreeing to Sean's request.
" Hmm… I'll try, but I can't promise any results. Matatabi is somewhat temperamental. "
Sean withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual space, leaving Chomei to try contacting the Two-Tails.
He looked down at the unique village below. He couldn't help but admire the distinctive architecture of the Hidden Cloud Village. Many buildings were constructed on the mountains.
It was completely different from the other villages he had visited.
He touched his right eye and sighed bitterly. " I'll have to use the OmnivVoidField technique repeatedly. I'll lose my vision completely… but that's a price I'm willing to pay… "
" If things go wrong… I can simply use the left eye technique! "
" Sean. " Chomei's voice echoed in his mind.
" I managed to convince Matatabi, but she wants to know your terms before fully agreeing. "
Sean appeared inside the spiritual space and looked at Chomei with delight.
" Well done, I'm grateful to you, " he thanked him sincerely.
Chomei moved one of his limbs closer to Sean. An image appeared in Sean's mind of Uzumaki Naruto and Kurama, the Nine-Tails.
Without hesitation, Sean raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and touched Chomei.
The space around him changed, and he found himself in a place not very different from the spiritual seal space.
He raised his head and looked at the massive dark-blue flaming cat, Matatabi, the Two-Tails, who in turn stared at the small human below.
Matatabi turned to Chomei, who was also present in this space, and mocked him.
" Chomei, is this your host? He looks ordinary. "
" I don't advise you to provoke him, " Chomei warned, shaking his head, then introduced Sean. " Sean Uchiha… "
" Sean, this is Matatabi. Please don't pay attention to her blunt attitude. "
Sean didn't take the giant cat's mockery seriously. He looked at her curiously and sighed inwardly in disappointment.
" She perfectly matches my Fire Release style… I should have chosen her as my sealing target instead of Chomei. "
" Hmm, Chomei told me about your deal. Are you serious about it? " Matatabi asked coldly.
" I can indeed free you from your current situation, but the price is that I want you to do a few things for me, " Sean said calmly.
" Hmph! You're quite arrogant. What makes you think you can free me from my current prison? "
" Arrogant? Hmm… maybe I am. But it's simply that my power gives me the confidence to be arrogant! "
Matatabi stared at the small human for a moment, seeing confidence in those gray eyes.
" What do you want me to do? "
" First, cooperate with Chomei and try to guide me to your current location. After I free you, I want you to spread chaos within the Hidden Cloud Village and cause as much destruction as possible. "
" Impossible!! " Matatabi shouted, rejecting Sean's request. He frowned and asked in a low, cold voice,
" You refuse? May I ask why? "
Dark blue flames erupted around Matatabi's body in anger. She bared her fangs and shouted at the expressionless Sean,
" You only want to use and exploit me! You say you'll free me, but you want me to cause chaos in the Hidden Cloud Village. You have no idea how strong that bastard Raikage is. They'll capture me again, making your promise of freedom nothing but nonsense! "
Sean narrowed his eyes at the furious beast and said calmly, " Don't worry about the Raikage or anyone else. I promise to get you out before you're captured again. "
" Impossible, " Matatabi refused firmly, making Sean sigh in annoyance. He turned his head toward Chomei, who spoke in an attempt to persuade her,
" Matatabi, don't you want your freedom? Just wa..."
" Be quiet! You've become like a dog fawning over its owner, " Matatabi snapped angrily, not caring about his expression.
" Remember, I offered you a fair deal, but you refused me… "
Sean said coldly as he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. His crimson eyes emitted a heavy aura that made Matatabi's tails stand on end.
He spread his hands and said,
" The choice was yours… but you chose the wrong one. "
He cast one last glance at the Two-Tails and calmly left the spiritual space.
