𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐒 THE WEIGHT OF A SIN SOLELY DEPENDS ON THE PERSON MEASSURING IT. a multimuse containing all nine tailed beasts. a study on being born with immense power / what one does to achieve your power / regaining freedom written by kaddy. NAVIGATION
celestiel·:
❛ you know … like if i got turned into a worm or somethin’ … you’d still like me … ❜
❝ I GUESS SO, YEAH. . . I’D STILL LIKE YOU. ❞ if his host was a worm, people would at least leave him alone.
celestiel·:
❛ hey … you’d still like me if i was a worm, right? ❜
❝ WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN. ❞
not matatabi and isobu feeding into the false stereotype that more tails = more power. matatabi by forming bonds with her jinchuriki, never breaking out && actively helping them master her senjutsus. isobu being content with being left alone in a seal, so he never attempts breaking out unless his jinchuriki is about to die.
SHUKAKU WHO’S STUCK BEING CALLED THE WEAKEST BIJUU:
shnobis:
Her gaze does not hold an ounce of fear as it stays trained on the bijuu, instead one might take note of the curiosity shining in those bright hues of hers. Head tilts at the words, then there’s a quick nod along with the quirking of her lips ( a bright smile presented for just the nanabi to see ). Friends. The word has a burst of excitement coursing through her. She has always wanted to have friends, a hundred friends! Well, she wanted more than a hundred of course but the best goal to start out with was a hundred!
❝ We’re friends ? ❞ You can tell such a thing makes her happy, whereas many others would be scared of the beast sealed in them saying something about friendship ( others would think it was some sort of trick but she did not think such things ). ❝ Okay okay … Lucky Number Seven Chomei … You have a really nice name, Chomei ! ❞ Soft giggles are following the words and spilling past her lips. Her words were genuine though, she did find the name to be very nice and it suited the bijuu very well. ❝ I’m Fuu of Takigakure ! No special and cool titles like you but that’s okay ! ❞ Such a thing didn’t bring her down in the slightest. ❝ Hey hey, Chomei. Instead of being friends, can we be the best of friends instead ? I can get a friend and a best friend in the same day ! ❞
❝ YOU’RE HOST OF THE NANABI, SHINOBI OF THE HIDDEN WATERFALL. YOU DO HAVE FANCY TITLES. ❞ he almost feels like matatabi now. chomei wasn’t as outwardly malicious && cruel as shukaku or kurama. or as completely apathetic as isobu. but he’s never been this kind to the couple of jinchurikis that came before fuu. they co-existed, chomei pushed luck into their favor in battle ( most of the time unbeknownst to them ) that was it. now he’s actively encouraging her, something the great nekomata would’ve done. because she is love, what remained of it.
chomei’s tail curls into a resting place for the iron body. ❝ BEST FRIENDS. ❞ the nanabi agrees. why not?? one of the six sharp claws reaches out from beyond the seal, not to harm her, to shake ‘ hands ’ . he cannot do much chained within the seal, but for a moment he imagines her entering the seal. she could sit on his head, he’d let her ride his tail. still not much they could do. besides, only a madman would enter the cage of a tailed beast. ❝ WE’LL STICK TOGETHER. THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. VERY HAPPY. ❞
❝ DON’T CALL ME NANABI OR SEVEN TAILS LIKE THE VILLAGE DOES. ❞ he finds pleasure in that tiny thing he’s sealed in. it’s better than kokuo is doing right now, being sealed into that big jar at the land of stone’s border until they find a suitable host. fuu is so lively, not even being shunned by the village may temporarily drag her mood down. he is what remained of the ten tails’ joy. her sunny demeanor resonates well with him.
❝ FRIENDS SHOULD KNOW EACH OTHER’S NAMES. ❞ he can give his host power, share with her his many fuuton senjutsus, even tweak luck into her favor. but he cannot help her find friends. solely by being within her body fuu’s chances of finding even a single, dear friend was abysmally low. so the nanabi does what he can. HE WILL BE FUU’S FIRST FRIEND. ❝ CALL ME CHOMEI. I’M THE LUCKY NUMBER SEVEN CHOMEI. ❞ @shnobis CHOMEI. for fuu.
naruto. everything stays the same. except the bijuus talk animalese. ( the animal crossing language )
HIS SENSES WERE FAR FROM LUCID. he remembers being ever slowly ripped out from gaara’s body, into a shell so familiar, yet alien at the same time. where these freaks got the husk of the ten tails from was beyond the ichibi; shukaku remembers the life he led as kaguya, though what he recalls most vividly where the times jealousy && envy ate them alive. ( naturally shukaku was not fond of going back to that )
then life stirred within him && the tanuki finds himself back in that cursed seal. he senses matatabi && kurama nearby, not knowing who of them he hates more. the nekomata for being love granted form or the kitsune for acting all high and mighty. shukaku is completely silent for a day or two. he doesn’t coax gaara into murder, not that gaara has ever given in for the past years, nor has he thrown his jinchuriki with nightmares, not that gaara has lied down to notice.
perhaps shukaku’s silence was a blessing for the jinchuriki, gaara had lots of things to deal with as a kazekage && recently returning from death. yet as the moon stands proudly at it’s highest peak, gaara being all alone, the tanuki reaches out.
❝ I’M SORRY. ❞ the two words come across as hollow even to shukaku himself, as much as he actually meant them. where did that sudden regret come from?? CERTAINLY NOT from being so near to that lee brat && matatabi this often. absolutely not. it also, definitely not, didn’t come from the time he spent in the juubi’s husk confronted with his life. ( as shukaku and as kaguya ) for once piercing golden eyes don’t stare at gaara, they’re fixated slightly to the right. ❝ . . .FOR EVERYTHING. ❞ @ruinrisen PLOTTED.
HE IS ALWAYS SLEEPING. nothing is important enough for kurama to wake up. it’s better this way. up until now. crimson eyes were torn wide open, seeing the scene through her eyes. though he doesn’t need to see, he can feel that power crawling under his skin. a tailed beast && jinchuriki in true unison, the true chakra cloak. matatabi’s was a soft powder blue, what his would look like kurama didn’t know, WOULD NEVER FIND OUT. the last time this happened had been well over a thousand years ago, with chomei && his jinchuriki. kurama’s rage back then had been unrivalled, he had destroyed an entire continent that day. today was no different.
he paid little attention to that boy, MAITO LEE, didn’t bother to even remember his name. it was amusing how he thought he could face shukaku, it was funny how shukaku crushed his left side until that meddling teacher stepped in. that’s all. if only this boy had gotten a different tailed beast, one that wouldn’t have hesiated to kill him instantly. it was bad enough that he had to be this close to matatabi’s chakra for good two years now. now she’s in union with her jinchuriki. a power much greater than either could achieve alone. ( sickening how a tailed beast could become even stronger than it already was with the help of a pathetic human )
kurama roars, he yells, he throws himself against every wall of the seal; fires bijuu bomb after bijuu bomb. all to stop the tears from escaping crimson eyes, an effort in vain. ❝ WHY DID YOU NOT BREAK FREE?! WHY DO YOU LOVE HIM, WHY DOES HE LOVE YOU BACK?! ❞
❝ I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU!! MATATABIII!! ❞ it’s as if he has forgotten that mishil heard everything, felt his breakdown. he doesn’t care that they’re in the middle of sunagakure, that chunin exams are going on. tears fall freely, endlessly, ugly from his visage as he slams his claws down over && over again. ❝ WHY DO YOU GET TO BE LOVE AND ALL I WAS GIVEN WAS HATRED?! WHY AREN’T YOU A MONSTER LIKE THE REST OF US?! ❞
divineslcyer:
@taildbeasts – ( Kurama) continued.
❝ Hatred isn’t new to me. ❞ An understatement. She remembered it well, and could recall it clear as day. The burn that fueled her rage when she had to hide her injuries from her cousins’ assassination attempts. The roar that channeled through her when they struggled to traverse past the sand to Konoha. ❝ But that’s not the worst feeling… Rage was what once fueled me, made me push and push. ❞ Its what motivated her strengths, her training–how she became more a lethal machine then a human being. So much so that the clan head felt she could become a head-candidate. Ha.
❝ The worst of it is the silence. ❞ When her mother was killed, everything shattered. She wasn’t built like a warrior, she was too kind and giving for that and still she tried to fulfill her duties. It was in that moment that Mishil realized her rage… still left her powerless. She’d fought off her cousins, left them each bruised and broken before leaving–their blood coating her bruised fists when she left. ❝ As I roamed, made my way here… I fought anyone who got in my way. ❞ She’d clawed, fought, slashed–the images of her mother and her clan’s abuse still fresh. Yet with each passing day… exhaustion and bitterness seeped in. ❝ Each night when I wasn’t fighting, I felt like howling or screaming. ❞ That’s the worst, isn’t it? Screaming into the void because it hurts to exist. ❝ When I met them—I must have looked monstrous. ❞ She wasn’t sure what to expect, wariness or rejection. However…
Kushina and Minato were kind. So kind and caring, that she found herself crying. Grieving for her loss and pain. ❝ I didn’t ask to be born, why must I be punished? ❞ The words are whispered, knowing full well the fox would hear her. She asked herself that so many times. Her memories filtering through her mind as she spoke, and gradually pushed away in memory of the kinder couple and the precious child she was raising–He was napping in his basket near her. ❝ Hatred is too cruel a name for you fox. Maybe in time, I can help you pick a new one when you’re ready. Something more proper. ❞
KURAMA DOESN’T REPLY TO HER STORY. trenhant maw opens wide in a yawn, the only answer she gets. how many centuries did he pretend to sleep, to be apathetic torwards anything but his own hatred. it’s difficult being a deity, you’re not supposed to have feelings. destruction && rage are blind, so kurama pretends he is too. ( that’s why he hates matatabi the most ) other than being his opposite, nothing escapes her golden eye. matatabi sees his pain, she knows his suffering. WORST OF ALL; she tries to tell him to not be a monster, that he is more. the kyubi used to be more. he used to be whole. he used to be a queen older than most stars. now look at him. a pet, a weapon, a prisoner. ❝ PATHETIC. ❞
he turns is face from her. they’ll see where that disgustingly good will goes when he makes her destroy && kill. wouldn’t it be delightful to find her hands wrapped around that brat’s broken neck. then he’d lay fire to konoha, then then
he’d roam the lands free, his one cause destruction. until he is being caught again. there is no escape to this madness, there is no reasoning. there is no torture device in hell worse than the faint needle of hope during times of despair. he wonders what could have been. . ? if he had been in chomei’s place, an embodiment of joy; in matatabi’s place, love given a voice. but instead, the only face he saw himself in was that pathetic, greedy racoon. kurama wants everyone to hurt like he did, become nothing but hatred like he is, lose everything like he had. he hates the world for enslaving his misery, he hates his siblings for making peace with them no longer being kaguya ootsutsuki, he hates hagoromo for betraying his mother && ripping her into nine pieces.
the bijuus as pokemon types:
SHUKAKU ground/ghost
MATATABI fire/lightning
ISOBU water/rock
SON GOKU is fire/ground
KOKUO is fire/water
SAIKEN is poison/water
CHOMEI bug/steel
GYUKI is water/fighting
KURAMA is flying/dark
onusanbu·:
It wasn’t that difficult to find the bijuu’s resting spot; even when attempting to be small, she was still a large flaming tiger in among the forest leaves. Kakashi comes to stand a few feet away— still cautionary, knew and respected that the beast tiger could snap him as easy as a twig.
Too many years of prejudice made him weary of the tailed beasts; his own encounters with her siblings less than favorable. But Matatabi had been more than amiable and helpful to Lee, and Kakashi wanted to improve his own feelings. Bridge the gap.
“Maa, I could see the dust trails. Much too nice a day for that sort of training.” He held up a wrapped bento box: an offering. “Could I spent some time with you?”
❝ BE MY GUEST. ❞ her great body shifts, so he has a spot to snuggle up against her flaming furr. but she wouldn’t hold it against kakashi if he prefered to keep a safe && respectful distance. they had something in common, that one fateful night they both lost someone precious; though, however many years it took, isobu ressurected. ( he’s hiding in a great lake in the middle of the land of hot waters ) nohara rin, however, didn’t come back from her grave. && matatabi knows this lost must’ve weighed heavy. ❝ SURELY WE HEARD MANY THINGS ABOUT EACH OTHER, IT’S TIME WE FORMALLY INTRODUCE OURSELVES. ❞
after all she was the great tiger of the east; the land of lightning’s guardian deity. && he was the famed copy ninja, if rumors are to be belived, he mastered over a thousand jutsus. titles only mean so much, however. ❝ MY NAME IS MATATABI, PLEASED TO MEET YOU. LEE THINKS HIGHLY OF YOU. ❞
CHOMEI CAN MANIPULATE LUCK. into the positive && negative. before having jinchuriki he never really used this. he felt, however, that for having a tailed beast sealed into their body, being mistreated, put on the frontlines and fated to a, mostly short, life full of bloodshed, his jinchuriki should get something out of this. he gives them luck, from mundane situations to coincidental moments in battles that saved their life.
feeling anger torwards hashirama for caging his siblings and what every jinchuriki has to go through, the nanabi quite literally cursed the senju clan. bad luck followed them like a shadow. his petty revenge is also the reason why tsunade is fated to have bad luck unless something terrible is going to happen.
@feelsofhiraeth roared: With all the complications that came with this pregnancy, Mitsuri was surprised to see each day as it came. Issues with nourishing the baby, falling sick every other day- the swordswoman really thought she'd die before baring her child. But Matatabi was there, and Mitsuri was growing closer to the nibi. Whether it be the fact she saw the beast as a fellow mother, or the fact the great tiger's chakra coursed through her body, Mitsuri liked being near her. Whenever she was outside of her seal the pinkette was always close by. On this particular day, she had awoken with a nasty cold, unable to remain warm. So when Matatabi was out of her seal Mitsuri used the time the great beast used to nap, to join her. Curled up on one of her mighty paws, the dual-haired woman rested on her side, no longer able to lay on her stomach thanks to her eight-month baby bump. Being surrounded by the tiger's presence made her relaxed and happy, it provided a warmth that she needed.
LEE KEEPS PRESSING THEY’RE FAMILY. and wouldn’t you do anything for your family?? the amount of chakra mitsuri needs to ensure her ( they were told it was going to be a boy ) son’s survival was but a tiny fraction of the near endless amount of chakra matatabi had, MATATABI WAS. even if it wasn’t, the great nijuu would not hesitate to help where she could. this wasn’t limited to just offering chakra, it included cuddling when mitsuri was sickly. though in the nekomata’s opinion the young lady ought to belong in a bed, with a cup of steaming tea nearby. unfortunately matatabi does not fit within a house, let alone a room. her form looming over the even hokage mountain.
here they are, matatabi resting on her great claw, and on the same claw, snuggled against her cheek, is mitsuri. the tiger doesn’t dare move, as if a single movement would end this idyllic scene. lee’s a few miles away, sparring with gai. ( nothing could keep this man down, not even the gate of death and the loss of a limb ) perhaps after these two hot heads are done, they could all rest on matatabi’s paws, there was still plenty of room. ❝ I’M PROUD TO SAY I AM THE MOST COMFORTABLE TAILED BEAST. ❞
i updated my rules real quick bc there’s a detail i forgot. i’ll post it here so yall don’t have to visit my page again, i’ll delete this in a few hours.
she’s curled up; a boulder of flames. it’s as small as she can make herself when leaving lee. her jinchuriki && his father are out running laps around the village; and matatabi would not run with them. hell no. not when the weather is so nice. instead the great tiger lays in a field of grass in konoha’s forest. && she catches kakashi’s stench of dogs scent before he arrives. flaming head lifts from trenchant paws. ❝ IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR THE HOT HEADS, THEY’RE RUNNING LAPS AROUND KONOHA. ❞
❝ HAVE BEEN SINCE FOUR HOURS. ❞ @onusanbu gets matatabi.
