Naruto: A Thief’s Journey Starts with the Seven-Tails

The Seven-Tails, Chōmei, was one of the nine portions of chakra that the Sage of the Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, separated from the Ten-Tails' body during ancient times. It was a Bug with six wings and a single tail.

The Chōmei in front of him was obviously a bit smaller. Clearly, it was because of the seal.

Chiyama Gekko stared fixedly at the huge tailed beast in front of him. Even though it was sealed, its aura was extremely terrifying. It was simply beyond the capabilities of a small ninja like him to contend with.

Due to the unique nature of [Touton], even though he was standing right in front of the Seven-Tails, the Seven-Tails didn't detect his presence.

Chiyama took a deep breath. He was about to start. Next was to communicate with Chōmei.

This was the trickiest part. After all, tailed beasts had a very poor opinion of humans. Of course, the same was true for humans towards tailed beasts.

There was simply no trust to speak of between the two sides.

"Hey, Seven-Tails, how's it going?"

Not knowing how to start, Chiyama Gekko simply decided to throw caution to the wind. Anyway, he had to communicate, so he might as well just begin.

Having been struggling against the [Sealing Jutsu], he was physically and mentally drained at this moment. The sudden voice completely caught Chōmei off guard.

The huge body couldn't help but jolt.

This jolt really spooked the ninjas who were still maintaining the sealing formation outside. They recklessly poured chakra into the sealing formation, trying to stabilize the Seven-Tails.

"Don't move around. Stop. Oh, right, you can't see me."

"What about now?"

Only then did Chiyama Gekko realize that he was still under the effect of [Touton]. He quickly canceled his Invisibility.

The 14-year-old boy emerged in front of the Seven-Tails with composure, with no trace of fear in his eyes.

Upon seeing Chiyama Gekko, the Seven-Tails began shaking vigorously once more, but still didn't say a word.

Suddenly, it occurred to Chiyama Gekko that perhaps the [Sealing Jutsu] was preventing the Seven-Tails from speaking.

"Can't you talk?"

"Then can we communicate mentally?"

"Oh, right, I shouldn't call you Seven-Tails. I'll call you Chōmei instead."

"After all, I really want you to be my partner."

As soon as the words "Chōmei" came out, the huge body of the Seven-Tails trembled violently.

Obviously, he was shocked. How many years had it been? How many years since no one had called him that?

But why did the brat in front of him know his name?

Looking at Chōmei, who suddenly stopped moving, Chiyama Gekko smiled slightly.

He understood that Chōmei must be shocked at this moment. Next, it was up to him, Chiyama Gekko.

Bring out the persuasive power that could even convince the dead and persuade the big guy in front of him! Reach the pinnacle of life!

Chiyama Gekko directly walked up to Chōmei and put his hand on Chōmei's body.

The next second, the scene in front of him changed dramatically.

A gigantic Bug soaring through the sky suddenly rushed towards the ground.

And Chiyama Gekko was standing on top of a mountain peak.

Wow, was this Chōmei's inner world?

Desiring freedom and flight...

"Human, who are you? Why do you know my name!"

"Tell me!"

A dull voice suddenly rang out. Chiyama Gekko looked at the Seven-Tails flying into the clouds, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"Heh, not only do I know your name, but I also know the names of all nine tailed beasts."

"Impossible! I'm already very puzzled that you know my name. How could you possibly know the names of the remaining eight tailed beasts? That's something no one knows except him!"

Suddenly, the extremely disdainful voice of Chōmei came.

But soon he realized that the human teenager in front of him didn't show the slightest change. Even in the face of him, this teenager wasn't afraid at all.

Moreover, there was a confident look in this teenager's eyes.

In the next second, the teenager spoke: "The first tailed beast, Shukaku."

"The second tailed beast, Matatabi."

"Isobu, the third tailed beast."

"The fourth tailed beast, Son Gokū."

"Kokuō, the fifth tailed beast."

"The sixth tailed beast, Satori."

"Seven-Tails, that is you, Chōmei."

"The eighth tailed beast, Gōzu."

"The ninth tailed beast, Kurama."

"Am I right? Chōmei."

Chōmei was completely stunned. His huge insect body flew right in front of the teenager.

Chiyama Gekko could faintly sense that Chōmei's body was trembling slightly.

"I have no malice towards you. On the contrary, I want to be your friend."

"Who says tailed beasts and humans can't live in peace? You can fly, and I yearn for flight."

"In my eyes, you are my most important friend."

Chōmei didn't say a word for a long time. His gaze was firmly fixed on Chiyama Gekko's eyes, trying to find a trace of hostility or greed.

But there was none. All he saw was excitement and some unknown desire?

"Which ninja village are you from?"

"Konoha."

"Heh, the village where Kurama is? Since Kurama is there, why did you come to find me? His strength is much stronger than mine."

Chōmei said very disdainfully. What he said was also the truth. Among the nine tailed beasts, except for being able to fly, his strength had always been at the bottom.

Not to mention compared with the most powerful ninth tailed beast.

"What of it? The ninth tailed beast is strong, but I don't like him."

"I want to be able to fly. Can he do that?"

Chiyama Gekko didn't hold back his complaints at all.

This surprised Chōmei again. After all, in his opinion, humans always wanted to obtain the power of tailed beasts and were even willing to seal tailed beasts inside their bodies with the Sealing Jutsu.

They regarded tailed beasts as weapons.

Why doesn't the kid in front of him play by the rules?

"Hey, Chōmei, if I become your jinchuriki, can I also fly?"

Jinchuriki! Sure enough, the brat in front of him wanted to obtain his power!

"Humph! Brat, you still want to get my power!"

"I won't let you succeed!"

Chiyama Gekko ignored Chōmei's fury and asked again.

"Chōmei, I want to fly. Could I be your jinchuriki?"

"Don't worry. When there's nothing going on, I definitely won't disturb you."

"My name is Chiyama Gekko. I can use Invisibility and Teleportation. The only thing I lack is the ability to fly. So can you fulfill my wish?"

Chōmei was stunned... This was the inner world. It could be said that as long as he wanted, he could see the other person's inner thoughts.

But what on earth was this brat thinking???

Invisibility = Peeping...

Teleportation = Stealing...

Flight = More convenience???

I, the majestic Seven-Tails Chōmei! Am I just here for convenience???

Huh? What's this? Big boobs? Big hips? How shallow!

What's so appealing about human females!

Huh? What are these, Bugs???

Whoa, is there such a clan in Konoha?

Slobbering... It might not be a bad idea to make him my jinchuriki... So many cute Bugs...

Chōmei, who was drooling, suddenly had an epiphany.

What combat power or not, anyway, he's at the bottom among the tailed beasts, and this kid doesn't seem like a warlike person.

If he could really make this kid his jinchuriki, wouldn't it be better than staying in the cave?

Guys, I'm begging you all to give a thumbs up and write a short comment if you can. If possible, a five-star review would be great too.
