"Hey! Have you heard? That giant ape appeared again..."

"That's right, even the stronghold in Black Mud Mountain with a jonin in charge was razed to the ground!"

"Not only that... I heard that the base camp of slave trader Roca was also attacked by a giant ape, and dozens of hired ninjas couldn't stop it."

"It must be a very powerful ninja beast. I heard that it is as big as two or three stories high?"

"Who said that? I saw with my own eyes that it was as big as a small mountain!"

"Huh? Why did I hear people say it was only two or three meters..."

"Are you saying I'm lying? The dwarf from the Hidden Rock Village!"

"I also heard that it was a giant ape with four tails."

"Yeah, yeah, it seems that someone has picked up the giant ape's tail..."

"Huh? That must be bragging! Such a powerful ninja beast, and I haven't heard of the giant ape losing its grip. How could it have lost its tail..." "

Ahem, why did I hear that it was a ninja beast only as big as an ordinary monkey, and there was no giant ape?"

"I also heard that there was more than one giant ape..."

"Giant ape? Why did I hear it was a bear?"

"I also heard that it was an alien monster..."

In the tavern where the bandits and rebel ninjas gathered in Meiyu Town, everyone was talking about the latest news...

The most popular one was naturally the information about the "flaming giant ape"!

In the past half month, many bandits or bases of noble separatist forces near Meiyu Town were attacked by the "giant ape".

Judging from the situation at the scene, in addition to the damage caused by pure physical strength, there were also traces of damage caused by earth escape and fire escape.

However, the true situation of the "giant ape"... Although there are many eyewitnesses and survivors, the statements are all kinds of strange. Some say that it is just a giant ape as tall as a person, and some say that it is as tall as a small mountain. There are a lot of bragging mixed in, making it difficult to determine what useful information is!

"Four tails, a red giant ape as big as a small mountain? Feidan, what do you think." In the corner of the tavern, two people wearing red cloud cloaks were whispering about something.

The one who spoke was a man wearing a rebel ninja forehead protector and a mask on his face. His voice sounded a little hoarse and old, and sitting next to him was a man who looked very young despite his silver hair.

The white-haired man called "Hidan" said frivolously: "A giant ape with four tails? Haha, it sounds a bit like Kisame's previous target, but Kisame seems to have been killed and there is no time to retrieve it... But the four-tailed Jinchuriki is in seclusion in the southwest of the River Country according to the intelligence? The

Rain Country is so close to the Earth Country, he shouldn't be here... But some rumors specifically emphasize that it has four tails, and it can also use earth escape and fire escape... It's really a bit strange, and it feels like a deliberate impersonation. Who would be so bored?"

That's right, the four-tailed Sun Wukong has the "fire attribute + earth attribute" lava escape chakra, and the Pokémon summoned by Guan Liyuan, although it can't lava escape, uses fire and rock skills, which seem to have the same effect as fire escape and earth escape.

"I think it's necessary to check it out." Kakuzu said seriously.

"Huh? Is it necessary? Wait... You're not doing that?" Hidan said, looking at the bounty column, which had already accumulated a considerable "bounty pool".

At first, there was only a bounty for Guan Liyuan, but now as the number of people attacked increases... In the Land of Rain, it is too easy to find nobles, wealthy merchants, and bandits who do evil!

Among the people attacked, there are many wealthy people, and others will also be in danger, so now the prize pool for "Giant Ape" has been stacked with a lot of bounties...

"It's not bad to make some money by the way." Kakuzu's eyes were straight.

"Let's not waste time, right?" Feiduan was a little reluctant.

"Humph, you said your religion could make money, so I teamed up with you, who knew it was a money-losing product... Think about it, who borrowed money from you to build ghost altars everywhere!"

"You will go to hell for insulting the evil god like this."

"Haha, if you see the evil god in hell, you just need to spend money to bribe him..."

The two people from the Akatsuki organization, who have a deep connection with the Renewal Federation, left the tavern while talking.

Yes, a deep connection!

Although Guan Liyuan has never met them, among the two, Hidan is a ninja from the former Yuyin Village. When the evil god cult was rampant in the country of soup, Hidan, who was born with a strong temper, was dissatisfied with the peaceful atmosphere of the Yuyin Village and joined the evil god cult. He really obtained the power of the evil god inexplicably, not only betrayed but also severely damaged the Yuyin Village and left.

It was not until the long-term weak Yuyin Village was incorporated into the Federation that the evil god cult forces in the country were eradicated...

Another Kakuzu, who was once a ninja from Takigakure Village, assassinated the first generation of Hokage shortly after the end of the Warring States Period!

At that time, Takigakure Village was not a small hidden village that relied on the natural danger of the waterfall and closed itself off, but a warlord with a tailed beast and strength close to the five major hidden villages. However, Kakuzu's assassination failed as a matter of course, but he was able to escape from Hashirama, which also shows his strength.

After the failure, Kakuzu faced the criticism of the elders in the village, rebelled, seized the forbidden technique "Earth Grudge", killed four elders, and seized their hearts...

After the Takigakure Village suffered a heavy blow, it relied on the "Hero's Water" to hold on for a while. After the three wars, because the side effects of the "Hero's Water" appeared, Takigakure Village completely declined and entered a stage of seclusion. It was also one of the earliest hidden villages to join the Northern Alliance!

Guan Liyuan also specially checked this record, as well as the forbidden technique "Earth Grudge" hidden in the seal with the "Hero's Water".

Even the people of Takigakure Village did not know that Kakuzu was still alive. The records of "Earth Grudge" that Guan Liyuan found were very rough, and the difficulty of practicing was too high, so Takigakure Village did not know its specific ability.

However, after researching, Orochimaru found that this forbidden technique can prolong life by accommodating a foreign heart and beating it in turns. Orochimaru liked this ninjutsu very much, and after accepting it, he integrated it into his own White Snake Eternal Life Technique.

Soon after, Kakuzu used his bounty ninja's keen "sense of smell" and rich tracking experience, and followed the clues all the way to a forest at the junction of the Rain Country and the Grass Country...

"Are you still sure that there is a Four-Tails Jinchuriki here? According to the scene we checked before, the scale of destruction is not large enough, right?" Hidan said impatiently.

"Shut up! What do you know about spending money? Could it be that the other party is hiding their strength?" Kakuzu scolded.

There was a sound in the bushes next to him.

"Huh? Something is coming... Shut up!" Kakuzu said immediately.

After a while, a fiery red figure emerged from the bushes!

But...

"Huh? Is this a 'giant' ape? And... are you sure this is an 'ape'?" Hidan looked at the thing in front of him speechlessly. It

is indeed fiery red, walks on two feet, and has some primate characteristics... but it looks only a little over one meter long!

And what is this furry tail and the tuft of flame-shaped hair on the top of the head? And the ears are like cattail leaves, the eyes are also cute, and the shoulders seem to be covered with cotton candy... Is this a tailed beast?

And the tails on the back... There are three tails that are obviously attached, right? It's completely different from the original tail! It seems that there are three sticks inserted!

"Explosive... Explosive?"

The "Unknown Creature Armor" muttered syllables that Kakuzu and Hidan couldn't understand. If they had a Pokémon illustrated book, they would definitely hear the prompt sound of "Explosive Ape, Spark Pokémon, the evolved form of Explosive Monkey, who loves sweets the most."

"Just, just a coincidence?" Kakuzu was also speechless.

"No, no, no, it's obviously got three tails, it's showing its malicious intent!" Feiduan said firmly.

This level of fakery can be said to be full of malicious intent.

At this moment, a group of "Unknown Creatures B" with spherical hairy bodies, long limbs, and nothing like monkeys except their tails, were swinging by in the distance, pulling on vines, shouting "Firestorm, Firestorm". At the same time, although their bodies were flaming red, their hair was in wisps, as if they were painted?

And... three of the four tails on their backs were drooping! And why did they seem to have pig noses?

Hmm. As expected of the Monkey Monster and Infernape in the Kanto region, they are the most unlike primate primate Pokémon!

"I seem to be dazzled. Did a group of pigs pass by the tree just now?" Feiduan said expressionlessly.

"No, its limbs still look a bit like monkeys."

"When did your standards become so low?"

Boom... Boom... Boom...

With the shaking of the earth, an "Unknown Creature C" that was fat and strong, a little bigger in size, but looked like an overnourished bear, walked in front of the two people, came to a fruit tree, turned its head to look at the two people, and then ate without caring.

"Kirby~Kirby~"

Well, it was also a fiery red with the smell of paint, and the tail on the back... Is this a rabbit tail?

"Is this a bear? No matter how you look at it, it's still a bear, right?"

"No, bears don't have such pointy ears." Kakuzu's eyelids twitched.

"But why is it all red? What's the matter with the tail that is obviously pasted on the back?"

"It's just a coincidence... coincidence..." Kakuzu didn't want to admit that this was used to "deceive" him, which made him feel at least despised.

"Wait, there's a sound over here!"

Hidan

and Kakuzu looked over to the snoring sound, and finally saw the most "sincere" "unknown creature Ding" so far. From the body to the appearance, although it is still a little smaller, but... it is indeed a giant ape!

But the giant ape seems to be very tired, and it didn't wake up when Hidan and Kakuzu walked in front of it...

"Hehe, the ecological structure of the Rain Country, why is it so magical at this time? I seem to have seen a lot of strange things." Hidan laughed dryly.

"Catch! At least these things can make a fortune if they are sold to those local tyrant countries in the southeast!" Kakuzu gritted his teeth and took out the seal scroll.

At the same time, at the other end of the forest, the news of the "four-tailed" also brought unexpected gains!

I saw a short old man who looked very retro, wearing leather armor in the style of the Warring States Period, with purple-red hair and beard. He looked at the "Unknown Creature Wu" in front of him with a confused look. After the thick forearm landed on the ground, it was almost as tall as himself, with a fiery red body, big eyes, and eyebrows pointing at the sky like two sharp arrow tail feathers...

Old Zi moved his feet expressionlessly, walked around to the side, and saw the "small tuft" tail growing on the back of the "Unknown Creature Wu"... There were also cloth strips next to the tail, and the meat next to it was tied up to fake three other "tuft"-shaped tails.

"Sun Wukong, I think I found something to impersonate you." The old man said.

"Are you old and confused? How could it be this thing? There must be others! How does this thing look like me?" The irritable voice of the four-tailed Sun Wukong sounded in the old man's heart.

"No, but look at those four tails..."

"Dharma?" The Dharma baboon grinned at the human in front of him, and jumped twice. After finding that the old man had no intention of playing with him, he turned around and left.

At this moment, a "red bear" with a length of more than two meters and an "o"-shaped pattern on its chest walked past Lao Zi...

"Huh? Another fake..." Lao Zi couldn't help but grin.

"How can you tell it's impersonating me? It's a bear, right? It's a bear with circles on its chest, right? Its tail is also spherical... Who has three balls of hair next to its tail? Behind it... Behind it is a baby bear with a moon pattern on its head!" Sun Wukong felt that his whole tail beast was not good.

Well, the "baby bear" was accidentally recognized by Sun Wukong, and the big red bear was "Circle Bear·Manual Flash Version".

"Lao Zi, wait and find the one who pretended to be me... No, the bastard who forged a group of strange creatures, and make him a tailed beast and let me kill him personally!" Sun Wukong said angrily.

"There is a clue! Look, this red footprint... is the paint that has not dried yet, let's track it!" Lao Zi found the footprints left by the circle bear.

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, Sakura and Karin were reluctantly dyeing a gorilla (Chihuishou) holding a palm-leaf fan and another gorilla (Tossinger) holding a ball. There were a lot of red paint buckets next to them...

Sasuke was resentfully inserting a tail into Infernape. Infernape is a Pokémon that looks very similar to apes, and its fur is also fiery red, with a ball of fire on its head.

In Guan Liyuan's words... as long as you insert three tails, you can pretend to have four tails!

"Mr. Speaker, it's been more than half a month... Can we stop doing this thing that has no effect at all?" Sasuke said helplessly.

"Isn't it because you didn't do your tail carefully? Come on, Chihuishou has also been dyed, you should make a tail for it later, it should be more natural!" Guan Liyuan said.

"It's almost a month anyway...why don't we go and meet up with Mr. Kabuto?" Karin already knew what Guan Liyuan meant by the "clues that came to our doorstep".

"No, believe me, as long as there are enough fakes, the guys from Akatsuki will definitely get restless." Guan Liyuan was like a child who didn't want to admit defeat.

Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but comfort her, "We know it can be successful, but...it's better not to waste Kabuto's time, right?"

"Yes, yes, we believe in this method! It's a pity that there's not enough time..." Karin didn't dare to say that this method was stupid at this time, otherwise Guan Liyuan would definitely let her continue to be stupid.

"Well...you're not just perfunctory to me?"

Guan Liyuan seemed a little tempted. "Absolutely not! If there was no Kabuto, this would be a good idea!" Karin said immediately.

Seeing Sakura and Karin winking at him, Sasuke had to say, "You're right, I feel that these are the Four Tails..."

At this moment, Sadaharu's voice suddenly rang in Guan Liyuan's mind: [Wait! I can feel the breath of Sun Wukong! It's approaching here...】

Guan Liyuan heard this and immediately unsummoned several Pokémon that were being "processed" and said to Sakura and the others: "Be careful, the Four-Tails is coming!"

"Huh? Do you even believe yourself that these are the Four-Tails?"
