Yugito also felt that Shisui's guess might be true.
The Waterfall of Truth's current reaction did seem like it was broken, Yugito said to Shisui after pondering for a while.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Shisui was a bit hesitant; after all, with a change in the mission, it was better not to cause further complications.
Yugito saw through Shisui's hesitation and said directly.
"Don't worry, your Dark Side is actually very weak; nothing unexpected will happen."
Yugito was right; after all, the Waterfall of Truth reflects everyone's Dark Side, which is essentially the materialization of the darkness within one's heart.
The real trouble is that the Dark Side has the same memories as oneself, understanding all of one's secrets, but its strength is not actually powerful.
Otherwise, Kumogakure would be able to exploit a bug here, effectively doubling their Ninja force.
As for why the other Cloud Ninja didn't try, it's mainly because he had already played with it before, and his Dark Side was cut down as soon as it appeared.
Perhaps there was something that Ninja found inconvenient to disclose, as he didn't even let his Dark Side utter a single word.
After a moment of hesitation, Shisui still chose to try, as he himself was quite curious.
After Utakata returned, Shisui also stood in front of the Waterfall of Truth.
One second, two seconds....
One minute, two minutes....
After ten minutes had passed, nothing happened.
Yugito then said with certainty.
"That's right, the Waterfall of Truth is broken. I need to report this immediately. As for whether to proceed with the next training, we'll discuss that later!"
This was a beautiful misunderstanding!
The Waterfall of Truth had no problems; being a Ninja was never a noble profession.
Not to mention most Jinchuriki, Killer Bee's childhood was not much better than Naruto's due to the Eight-Tails.
Tragic experiences breed inner darkness; one can suppress it, but that doesn't mean the darkness doesn't exist, only that it's hidden.
It's just that two oddballs came today.
Although Utakata was also a Jinchuriki from a young age, he was always isolated in an uninhabited area outside the village; besides the Anbu, there was no one else.
Utakata's childhood was extremely boring, but certainly not dark. As an adult, Utakata was almost forgotten by Hidden Mist Village because of Tuzi Ge.
If it weren't for someone regularly teaching Utakata Ninjutsu and Ninja knowledge, he would probably think he was the only person in the world.
Shisui, on the other hand, had a peculiar personality. In the original work, he had his Sharingan stolen by Danzo and was ostracized by his clansmen. Even so, he held no resentment towards Danzo or his clansmen; his thought process was unique and unconventional.
It's not that Utakata and Shisui didn't have darkness within them, but rather that their darkness was clearly not enough for the Waterfall of Truth to materialize a Dark Side Ninja.
So, the Waterfall of Truth inexplicably broke down in the eyes of the four!
Waterfall of Truth: If you have the guts, tell these two oddballs to leave and try with another Ninja, then see if I'm really broken!
Might Guy: I'll try!
Waterfall of Truth: You leave too!!
Yugito returned shortly after relaying the information.
"As for the next training, whether you participate is up to you. Without passing the Waterfall of Truth's test, subsequent training can only increase your control over the Tailed Beast, but you cannot become a true Perfect Jinchuriki!"
Shisui and Utakata exchanged glances; their intentions were clear.
We'll follow your lead!
Neither of them was good at making decisions. Shisui wanted to reconfirm with Utakata.
He found Utakata's gaze fixed ahead, his thoughts drifting somewhere unknown.
Utakata had no pursuit of strength; before meeting Hotaru, he didn't even have anything he cared about.
At this moment, he was equally unconcerned, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Shisui recalled Yuuki's expectant gaze when he sent them off and finally decided to give it a try. Regardless of the outcome, at least it wasn't a wasted effort, right?
"Let's proceed to the next step of training. We'll trouble you two!"
Yugito was noncommittal and led the two into the sanctuary.
"Alright, just unseal it here and seize Chakra from the Tailed Beast!"
Knowing the process, the two found no issue. Shisui took out a scroll from his person.
Yuuki had given it to him before they departed. As for how he got it, it was, of course, from Hidden Mist.
After unsealing Utakata with the scroll.
Shisui also directly activated his Sharingan, ready to support Utakata at any time, while Yugito similarly donned her Tailed Beast cloak as agreed.
As for the other Cloud Ninja, he just watched, as the upcoming battle was within the Tailed Beast's dimension, which he couldn't participate in.
With the unsealing, the three entered the Tailed Beast's dimension.
Yugito directly instructed Utakata.
"Now, just defeat the Six-Tails and seize Chakra from it. I will have Matatabi help you then."
At this moment, the enormous figure of Saiken appeared before the three. It looked very similar to the Slug from Shikkotsu Forest, but it had six tails.
Saiken already understood Utakata's intention and slowly spoke.
"Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Clan, Utakata, if you want my Chakra, then come and get it!"
Saiken's voice was somewhat childlike, with a youthful tone.
Regarding Utakata's desire to seize its Chakra, Saiken chose to lie flat!
Saiken, with its slug-like appearance, had a personality similar to a slug's, quite lazy.
After being captured by Hashirama and Madara and sealed into a Jinchuriki, Saiken did not resist.
Utakata was the most boring Jinchuriki Saiken had ever seen, even more fond of lying flat than itself.
This was not Utakata and Saiken's first meeting. When Utakata became a Jinchuriki, Saiken had told him that as long as Utakata could bear it, he could use its power freely.
But Utakata refused at the time, saying he would absolutely not use Saiken's power.
Many years passed, and Utakata truly never used Saiken's power. With Utakata's current stance.
Saiken was even a little happy. Although it was lazy and liked to lie flat, it also wanted to go out and get some fresh air occasionally!
Tailed Beasts are inherently made of Chakra; when a Jinchuriki uses Tailed Beast Chakra, the Tailed Beast is also equivalent to appearing in the outside world.
Unlike the somewhat nervous Yugito and Shisui.
Utakata walked up to Saiken without any fear or hesitation and said.
"I'm sorry, Saiken, I promised not to use your power, and now I'm going to break my promise."
After Utakata finished speaking, Saiken asked with a somewhat anxious tone.
"Is it because you've encountered a powerful enemy?"
"No, a certain important person wishes for me to become a Perfect Jinchuriki."
Hidden Mist Village's seal was not strong; if Saiken wanted to, it could actually know Utakata's recent experiences.
However, the lazy Saiken was unconcerned with its Jinchuriki's situation, so it was somewhat worried when Utakata actively took control of its power.
After all, if the Jinchuriki died, it would have to find a new home, which was quite troublesome!
After learning that Utakata was not in danger, Saiken flopped down softly.
"Oh, I see. Then do as you please!"
Utakata nodded and said.
"Then, here I come!"
Immediately, the Six-Tails Saiken's Chakra entered Utakata's body. A red Chakra cloak appeared on Utakata, emitting a violent aura.
But then, the aura calmed down, Utakata returned to his original state, and the Tailed Beast Chakra formed a tail behind Utakata.
It wasn't that red Chakra tail, but a white tail, just like Saiken itself.
Seeing this, Yugito exclaimed in shock.
"Perfect Jinchuriki! How is this possible!"
Shisui looked at Yugito, puzzled, his eyes full of inquiry.
It's done?
