Chapter 77: Tailed Beast Whisperer
Now he understood why he hadn't picked up their signatures with his Tamashii: they were both masking their chakras.
Those players were still a fair bit away, approaching the lake while being completely oblivious to the colossal Tailed Beast about to rise.
This was bad. Very bad.
Not only did Jasper's presence threaten his plans, but unleashing a Tailed Beast on unsuspecting intruders was not part of the deal.
Arthur's mind raced with possibilities. Confronting Jasper openly this early was not something he wanted to do. Players who discovered his whereabouts would swarm this country in a heartbeat until he was found.
A new plan, a desperate one, finally formed.
A tremour shook the ground. The water in the distance churned violently, and a monstrous head crowned with razor-sharp horns broke the surface. The Three-Tails continued to slowly emerged until half of its body was above water.
Arthur seized this opportunity. Hidden half a mile away, he had Minato dive into the water.
'Giant Rasengan...'
One technique, and the unsuspecting beast let out a roar that echoed across the land. It was struck right in its plastron. Arthur then had Minato quickly teleport to his side.
He deactivated the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode on Minato, choosing to remain hidden until he understood Jasper's motifs.
