The streets bustled with life; people of various complexions moved about, engaged in commerce and daily routines.
Satori Hyūga silently followed behind B, biding his time until they reached a more secluded area.
By virtue of being both a Jinchuriki and a relative of the Raikage, he was certain to earn the Raikage's trust—only to betray it in time.
A short distance behind B, Satori observed how the crowd steered clear of him, their faces twisted in disdain.
Though there were no open taunts or physical attacks, the cold isolation cut just as deep, leaving him heartbroken.
"Being a Jinchuriki truly is a bottomless abyss. Anyone who becomes one will be cast out by their own village—it's tragic."
"They protect the village, yet receive no recognition from the villagers in return."
A strange ninja world, a distorted reality—one that Satori could barely adjust to.
"This twisted world… I alone shall reshape it."
Once they had left the village, Satori abruptly blocked B's path.
When B suddenly saw someone appear before him, he was startled. He swiftly unsheathed his ninja blade and leveled it at Satori.
"Who are you?"
His eyes sharp and filled with killing intent, B unleashed a terrifying wave of chakra around him.
Faced with a total stranger, he assumed a highly defensive posture.
Anyone bold enough to face him must be an elite ninja—an expert brimming with confidence.
After all, he was the Jinchuriki of Gyuki, wielding a power as devastating as a nuclear weapon.
"Relax. I'm here to end your suffering."
In an instant, Satori appeared right beside B, [activating the Eight Gates] without hesitation.
With the Eight Gates fully open, overwhelming chakra surged through his palms, releasing what seemed like a gentle slap onto B's abdomen.
It looked like a light, effortless strike—but the impact sent B's body violently trembling, instantly knocking him unconscious.
Strong. Too strong.
B didn't even have time to resist. His limbs convulsed, meridians and acupoints overloaded with chakra, leaving him completely immobilized.
This attack combined the [Gentle Fist] and [Iron Fist] techniques, sending B collapsing to the ground like a broken man.
B clenched his teeth, straining with sheer willpower to reclaim control of his body.
No matter how furiously he fought or how loudly he roared, nothing helped.
The gap in strength, the damage to his body—these weren't things simple determination or spiritual resilience could overcome.
"Don't waste your strength. Submit to me."
"And one more thing—I will also take the Eight-Tails' chakra from you. That way, you'll never feel pain or suffering again."
Placing a hand on B's head, Satori began altering his memories, adjusting the sealing technique inside his body, and siphoning Gyuki's chakra.
He had no use for the Tailed Beasts themselves—only the immense power locked within them.
Each Tailed Beast was like a nuclear reactor, continuously radiating vast quantities of chakra.
Satori didn't lack chakra—but he craved even more.
Furthermore, if the power of all nine Tailed Beasts is combined, they can evolve into the Ten-Tails, or even take the form of the God Tree.
Whether it be Chakra or the Ten-Tails' God Tree, Satori Hyūga desires all of them.
If he intends to increase his power in the future, researching the Ten-Tails might prove beneficial.
While extracting Chakra from Gyuki's body, a cold and domineering voice rang out from behind him.
"Brat, did you steal my Rinnegan?"
