Next Day
"It's been a while since we've gone on a mission. This is the last mission on the list mom gave us, and it should take the rest of the time before the Chunnin exams," Takashi commented.
"So who gets the honor of reading the info on whom we should be recruiting?" Naruto asked.
"How about you Naruto, since you're the one to ask," Kyu quickly retorted.
"Fine I'll read,"
The first one listed is the only other demon host out their, the reason being is that all of the other demons had forced their ways out of their host effectively killing them. Your jobs are to track each down and try to convince them to join our village. The one you may have a problem with would be Orochi, if he doesn't want to join our village please leave him alone. DO NOT pursue him in joining the village as he is likely to try and kill you all.
First: Gaara
Bijuu: Shukaku the Ichibi (One-Tailed Tanuki Demon)
Power: Mini-Shukaku form ~ protective sand tanuki form, automatic sand defense
Drawbacks: If Gaara sleeps Shukaku can take control, holds Shukaku. Shukaku is a bijuu in the form of Raccon Dog. Before, he was a priest that lived in the Desert of Nara. Because of the dark power released by Yamata no Orochi, and under the heavy assault of wind and sand, he transformed into a raccoon dog. He has a playful and extravagant personality, resembling the Tanuki nature. Has a pretty active sexual life. Shukaku lives in the souls of people killed by the wind and sand. The violet (blue in the anime) tattoos represent his title of God of Wind.
Two Tail (Nibi), Nekomata
Nekomata is a bijuu in the form of cat, and possesses the power of death. His appearance is a black cat monster (depicted with huge, black angel wings). He's the Death God's pet. Nekomata feeds on dead people's spirits, and can summon these to fight for him. He uses a third eye at the top of its head to consume the spirits.
Three Tails (Sanbi),
Isonade
Isonade is a shark shaped Bijuu with a sharp horn on the forehead. It lives in the deep waters in the west of the Shinobi nations. Every few months, Isonade will swim to the surface of the sea from the deep waters, to breathe some fresh air. However, when he does this, storms erupt, oceans rage, and all ships will be swallowed by him as food. Isonade has a subordinate fish called Samehada. Samehada attaches itself to Isonade's stomach, and absorbs its food to create huge amounts of chakra, proceeding to send it back to its body. Samehada's power can enable Isonade to get 5 times the quantity of chakra it could originally get. Therefore, when Isonade battles, he will have unlimited chakra to receive from Samehada.
Four Tails (Yonbi),
Sokou
Sokou is a bijuu that looks like a reptile. It was a creature that lived near an active volcano. Because of the toxic gas and the volcanic ash, he was transformed into a half-rooster, half-snake monster. The Rooster and Snake are husband and wife in Sokou's body. Everything around it withers away or dies, because of its poison.
Five Tails (Gobi),
Houkou
Houkou is a bijuu which looks like a five-tailed dog. Each tail of this creature represents one elemental power: Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning and Fire. They can cause catastrophic damage when used. Houkou will willingly destroy the nature to obtain the power he desires from these elements. He was once badly injured when he and Nekomata challenged Kyuubi. Strangely enough, he is the god of Illusion. Houkou lives in a giant, ancient tree.
6 Tails (Rokubi),
Raijuu
Raijuu, a bijuu in the form of weasel, has four legs and very sharp claws. Its cry sounds like thunder. It was originally the god of Thunder, but because of Yamata no Orochi's power, it was transformed into a beast. Raijuu can release a huge amount of electricity for battle assistance.
Shichibi (Seven Tails), Kaku
Kaku is a bijuu in the form of badger. It has seven tails, and is the smallest bijuu out of the nine; though it is the most cunning and stealthy. Kaku hunts its prey underground most of the time. It kills by crumbling/destroying the piece of land that is under its target, making it fall right into his open mouth. Above land, whenever he is around he can transform into any type of creature, but he is unable to do it if he doesn't have clay.
Eight Tails (Hachibi),
Yamata no Orochi
Yamata no Orochi is a Snake bijuu. It has crimson red eyes, eight heads and eight tails (also depicted to having trees and vines growing around them) and has the power of the Demon world, a symbol of evil. Each head of Yamata no Orochi represents a symbol: Soul, Ghost, Evil, Devil, Monstrous, Kill, The Afterworld and Death.
Its powers were originally weak, the members of the Kusanagi clan, when attacking it, acted carelessly, using the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Oro's sword). Because of that, as a consequence, Yamata no Orochi takes the sword from them, absorbing the power contained inside, and becoming an incredibly powerful creature, and finally storing it in its body.
With the new power, Yamata no Orochi releases an insane amount of dark energy, awakening the other Bijuu and becoming arrogant. Yamata no Orochi proceeds to defeat many of the Bijuu, but when it battles with Kyuubi, it is defeated. The cause of this is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, making even a hole in the Kusanagi sword. As this happens, it shows how tremendously powerful Kyuubi is, deserving of the "King of Bijuu" title.
This mission will take you the duration of the year. Once all Bijuu have been located and/or convinced of becoming part of the village I want you three to return immediately so I can assign you your teams for the upcoming Chunnin exams.
"Hay Kyu, is this true. Did you really kill the Nibi?" Takashi asked.
"Yes I did, so you three don't have to worry about these demons. If anything starts to go down I'll show them that I'm still the King," Kyu said proudly.
"Now that that's settled, lets hit the rode and find our demons," Naruto announced while the group started to head for the first Bijuu, Ichibi also known as Shukaku and his host Gaara.
