Chapter 491: Battle of Second Day
Back on Genbu Island,
After the recent attack by Kabuto, Onoki moved the entire island with him to a different location to prevent Akatsuki from staging another attack.
Inside a temple on the island,
"Man! It was a challenge to tame all these wild beasts. But I somehow managed to pull it off!" Naruto cracks his neck and glances at the row of giant animals lined together.
"Yo!" Killer Bee arrives at the entrance of the temple and waves his hand at Naruto.
"Oh! It's the Octopus ji-san!" Naruto waves at Killer Bee.
"Fool ya Fool! I heard everything from Maroi. Naruto, you were so cool!" B makes his signature pose.
"Now, come on! I wasn't really that cool." Naruto grins in embarrassment.
"Come to think of it, what are you doing here, Octo ji-san? Are you also a part of the S-Rank mission?"
"ASSS RANK?" B tilts his head in confusion.
'B, it must be related to the shinobi war. Didn't your brother also send you to this island to protect you from Akatsuki?" Gyuki's voice echoes in B's head.
"Oh! I see. That brother of mine really made me a fool!"
[It has been a while since we last met, Kurama!]
Gyuki communicates with Kurama.
Hmm
The Yang Kurama opens his eyes and glances in Gyuki's direction.
[And here I thought, who was disturbing my sleep? Turns out it was you.] Kurama replies to Gyuki with disinterest.
[Hmm you don't seem to be as violent as I saw last saw you.] Kurama's calm behavior surprises Gyuki.
[Ugh]
Kurama recalls the rehabilitation he underwent under Izuna's guidance.
[I would rather not recall that process.] He shakes his head and turns to Gyuki.
[So, why would you suddenly bother me?]
[Well, it has been a while since we last met. So, I was a bit concerned about you.]
[I am alright!] Kurama waves his hand.
[Hmm does this mean this little fellow is also a perfect Jinchuriki like B.] Kurama's tame behavior surprises him. If it was Kurama from before, given his prideful and arrogant nature, he would have lashed out multiple times by now.
[Sort of.] Kurama answers him with disinterest.
[I lend him my chakra on multiple occasions but I have yet to synergize completely with him since he wasn't ready. His body and mind are ready but his spirit requires a bit of training.] Kurama replies to Gyuki.
[Oh! Then why don't I ask B to train him?] Gyuki proposes.
[Hmm Naruto will certainly grow faster under the training of another Jinchuriki. Although that Uchiha brat taught him a lot of things but all of them were supplementary lessons and not the real thing. So, perhaps] Kurama glances at Killer B.
[Very well! I will leave this brat in your care. Do as you please!] Kurama nods at Gyuki.
While Naruto is counting the giant beasts, Bee is having an internal conversation with Gyuki.
'B, I had a conversation with the Nine-tails. The Nine-tails asked me to train Naruto with the tailed beast transformation. So, B, why don't you train Naruto in the Tailed beast transformation? It will kill two birds with one stone. Not only will it prevent Naruto from escaping to the battlefield, but it will also raise his strength.'
'Hmm!' B takes out a small diary from his pocket and scribbles something on it as he communicates with Gyuki.
'But what will I get from it?'
'Umm a listener to your new song.' Gyuki replies to him after some thinking.
"Then, we got a deal!" B smirks.
"Huh!? What's the matter Octo ji-san?" Naruto notices the weird expression of B.
"Ah! Yes I was thinking of a new song, Naruto! Would you like to hear the new song that I just wrote?"
"Ugh I would rather not." Naruto shakes his head.
"What if I also teach you how to do this?" B pockets his notebook and pen and claps his hand.
B's entire body turns into a giant octopus.
"Fool ya Fool! Ain't, I cool?" B perform a break dance in his complete-tailed beast transformation.
[Pfft!] Kurama breaks out in laughter at the comical sight.
[Ugh I have lost my face.] Gyuki's expression turns ugly.
"Oh! That's so cool!" Naruto's eyes shine in amazement.
'Hey, Kurama! Can I also do this?'
[Don't you dare do such a thing with my body!] Kurama warns him.
'Ugh not that! I mean, can I also turn into you, like Octo ji-san?' Naruto shakes his head.
[You can! But as he said, you need more training.] Kurama nods in affirmation.
Naruto turns towards the giant Gyuki.
"Hey, Octo ji-san! Can you teach me how to do this? I will listen to your new song."
"Yay! Now, that's what I want to hear." Gyuki turns back into B and B makes a victory pose.
"Then follow me to the waterfall of truth for the first step of training!" B enters the temple. Naruto quickly follows after him.
-----------------------
Back at the Allied Shinobi headquarters, the next day in the morning,
The various Kages, commander, and vice-commander gather again for another strategic meeting inside the virtual mindscape.
Most of them didn't have any wink of sleep since the last battle was fought until 3 a.m.
"Looks like everyone is here?" Sakumo opens his eyes and glances at everyone present in the room.
"Then let's proceed to discuss today's battle strategy!" He waves his hand and generates a map of the shinobi world.
"In yesterday's battle, we suffered massive losses. The moral of the allied shinobis has taken a hit. So, today we have to make a comeback and gain an advantageous situation in the war." Sakumo continues.
"We have already discussed the strategy for today's battle previously. However, some changes are required after the previous battle since the Kages are stepping up on the battlefield."
The meeting lasted for half an hour as Shikaku devises another strategy.
"As expected of the brain of the Allied Shinobi Force. With this, our victory in today's battle is guaranteed." Onoki praises Shikaku as the new battle plan pleases him.
"Of course, Lord Tsuchikage will be the central figure of the plan. Today, the third division will play a very crucial role in the battle. Their role is to hold down the Zetsu army long enough for the reinforcement to arrive." Shikaku nods at Onoki.
"Just leave that to me and Lord Kazekage!" Onoki pats his chest with pride.
With that, the meeting comes to an end and the various commanders and vice-commanders get ready for the battle.
The allied shinobi force splits into two groups, with the members of the third division and fourth division in one group and the first division and the second division in another group. The Raikage's second division is on standby and will act as the reinforcement unit in case the situation changes on the battlefield.
At the battlefield, the forces of the allied shinobi force march forward on the battlefield.
Halfway through the battlefield, the force splits into two groups. One group marches towards the sea while the other group continues forward at the expected location of the clash.
Whoosh
Onoki flies through the sky and glances at the members of the third division and fourth divisions marching toward the destination. Mei is also flying beside him with lava wings.
"Hmm I didn't expect the Mizukage to also know of a technique to fly through the sky."
"This technique is quite taxing on chakra, so I can't use it for long," Mei replies to him as she gazes at the outline of the sea in the distance.
Mmm
Onoki nods at her remark and doesn't say anything as he focuses his attention on the coast. According to the intel, half of the Zetsu army is traveling underground beneath the sea. So, they have to barricade the coast and prevent the Zetsu army from uniting with the rest of the army.
It will be an ideal case if they can eliminate a major portion of the army before the main division joins them in battle.
'Well, I can't be too ambitious.' Onoki calms down.
The consequences of being overly ambitious are still clear in his mind as he recalls the events of the Second Shinobi War.
'One Uzumaki is enough to turn the tides of the battle.' Onoki glances at the various Chakra positioning flags slowly being planted by the members of the Sensor unit.
'What if the entire Uzumaki clan was here?'
