Chapter 271: Warning

Killer B listened with surprise to the conversation of the three Bijuu with the man, continuing to silently watch.

Meanwhile, the Eight-Tails turned to Shikamaru.

“And how do you know all this?” Only we nine Tailed Ones know our names and the words of the Sage, but how could you, human, know about this?

“Well, let's put it this way… I'm not entirely from this world.

Are you not from this world? Now everyone was surprised.

Shikamaru immediately shook his head.

“You'd better not ask further. Believe it or not, I have no prejudice against you Tailed Beasts. I don't care about other people's power, I have enough chakra myself. There are only two reasons why Kurami and Isobu are still sealed by me. First, their pure and powerful chakra is still useful for training my technique. Of course, this is not the most important reason, I could get by with external help, just ask Isoba to help me with this, it is not necessary to keep him inside. The main reason is Akatsuki.

Kurama turned to Shikamaru and asked with some suspicion.

What is Akatsuki?

An organization controlled by Madara Uchiha.

The fox's face changed, and both Gyūki and Isobu frowned. They had clearly heard the name before. Bee thoughtfully scratched his head and began to write something down.

Shikamaru remarked on this:

I hope no one will spread this. As long as I know the plans of the enemy, it is easier to act, it is better not to interfere in this matter.

Gyuki nodded.

Don't worry, we'll keep quiet. I heard about Madara, he is a man capable of fighting with Hashirama Senju, a very dangerous and strong shinobi. Besides, Kurama...

The fox snorted and growled.

- That bastard! I'm not surprised... He's sick in the head, if he decides something, then most likely he will do anything for his goals. I'm amazed how he managed to survive, it's been so many decades already, damn Uchiha!

"That's right," Shikamaru nodded, "He used Hashirama's flesh and mixed the Sage's chakra, awakening the power of his eyes." With the help of the Rinnegan, he summoned the shell of the Ten-Tails from the moon. Do you understand what I'm getting at?

— Grr! This bastard! Kurama snorted, "He was going to gather us all...

Shikamaru nodded.

- I started a long time ago. Not sure how many of you they managed to seal. According to my calculations, from day to day, someone will carry out an attack on your other half of Kurama. Don't make that face, they won't do anything. Not now.

Gyuki thought for a while and asked:

- And what did you think?

- Thought? Shikamaru let out a chuckle and shrugged nonchalantly, "Nothing special." Thought you brothers should be aware of the situation and resolve some misunderstanding between us. I just came to fight B and his Raikage brother. The Akatsuki will take over your units anyway. I will split Isoba into two halves, and Kurama will probably be extracted from his jinchūriki. You're Gyuki, it's just that before extracting, take care to save the part inside B so that he does not die. Otherwise, I'll take care of everything.

The Eight-Tails and Kurama frowned in unison. Fox spoke first.

- What's the catch? Have you decided not to stop the enemy from awakening the Ten-Tails? What nonsense!

Gyuki nodded.

- Agree. What's the point of this? Since we now know about this, isn't it easier to confront the enemy together?

- Will not work. Shikamaru shook his head, “There are many very strong Shinobi in the ranks of Akatsuki. They can fight and even win, but there is one very important point - the enemy is not so simple, he can wait another couple of centuries, and then fulfill his plan again. We must let them bring the Ten-Tails back to end this once and for all. You just need to understand that there is an immortal creature on the side of the enemy, it will wait as long as it takes, and even by joining forces, we just can’t get rid of it. If we miss the moment, the next fight will already be difficult to foresee. As long as conditions are on our side, it's best to wait patiently.

Of course, at this point, Shikamaru lied a little. In fact, if you try, you can probably prevent everything. The problem is that this may not be for long, and if things don't go according to plan, another Ōtsutsuki could use Zetsu's preparations. Shikamaru wanted to use the opportunity and learn everything about the Ten-Tails, and most importantly about Kaguya. It was this moment that Shikamaru also hid. After all, even with his strength, he was not sure of completely suppressing not only Kaguya, but even someone weaker. Just in case, he kept the powers of Isobu and Kurama in his body. Of course, he was not going to tell them about it, it is important that the Biduj believe him - it is much easier to work with them if they themselves allow you to do this. And judging by their faces, they still believed. Shikamaru wanted to prevent the point where they might want to attack the enemy ahead of time, which is why he added:

In any case, uniting will not work. Even if you and B believe me, the Raikage certainly won't believe the tales of the Sage from my words or from yours. To the Kage, words mean nothing, without evidence they won't even listen. The same applies to the rest of the villages, they all at least do not trust each other, and at a convenient moment they are generally ready to unleash another battle. Only when the danger is inevitable will everyone unite, but before that you still need to live. That's why I'm here, that's why I resurrected Minato and sealed a part of you, Kurama. Your chakra will allow me to harden my body, and the battle with Gyuuki and the Raikage will cement my power. I am preparing for the coming battle, I advise you to do the same.

Gyuuki thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

“Here you are right, everything sounds quite dangerous from your words, but knowing the Raikage, even from the words of his brother, he is unlikely to act against a fictional enemy from the past. All this, not to mention the rest of the people. They would never trust the Tailed Demons.

Kurama snorted and turned away.

“So let’s get ready,” the Eight-Tails concluded, “If, as you say, we can’t launch a preemptive strike, then you Bee should train better and stop fooling around!” But as for the rest...

"I warned Shukaku," Shikamaru added, "The rest is up to you."

Gyūki nodded and looked at an annoyed Kurama, but didn't say anything.

At the same time, Shikamaru looked towards B and asked:

“I came to fight. Closing his eyes, he strengthened Kurama's seal again, and then the space blurred. Very quickly, everything around was lit up with pure sunlight and Shikamaru was back in the real world. Rising from the stone ground, he stretched his shoulders and followed the rising opponent.

Killer B clicked his neck vertebra a couple of times and laughed:

— Yo! If you decided to fight me, then you were too hasty. I'll be as serious as ever and kick your ass, ooh yeah!

Before this, Shikamaru hadn't really spoken to B, and his way of speaking still made him wonder. Even if he knew about this strangeness before, it is still quite interesting to face it in reality.

Smiling slightly, he nodded.

— Cool rap old man, I hope you're as good at fighting as you are at rhyming.

- Oh, don't hesitate buddy and check out my Arcana! The jinchūriki quickly covered the orange chakra shroud and it took off. The ground under his feet flew apart and at an amazing speed he crashed into the enemy!
