Tales of a Ninja Magician: Of What Defines Us

Assuming Shared Control

"W-What's wrong with that guy", Kiyomi uttered before taking half a step back in disbelief. The radiating aura and chakra of the Tailed Beast made the girl move back precautionary, on an instinctual level and completely obliviously to her own movements.

"He must've leaked out some of the Tailed Beast's power", Mana continued to stare in certain disdain and pity at the leaning forward on all fours Daidao, the young man kept dragging his right arm across the arena floor like a horse preparing to charge.

"It's so... Freaky, even I can feel it, he's partially... Someone else. Like he's possessed or something", Kiyomi grunted, jumping forward in frustration. By then she must've realized the instinctual fear that took over her and lashed out to compensate for the show of weakness. Judging from what Mana had seen all around her, pretty much everyone, no matter their rank or strength level reacted similarly. Eyes and body full of fear, then came anger and hatred for the being inspiring said fear.

"Tailed Beasts are essentially chakra itself, they're entities made of chakra and living embodiments of it. Letting some of its chakra to leak out means letting part of its consciousness take you over, their essence is inseparable from chakra", Mana muttered as she looked at Daidao with different eyes, realizing just how much rage was present in the eyes of people around her.

These people didn't hate Daidao and his like for something they did, they hated them for something the Jinchuuriki were – containment for the Tailed Beasts who were unequaled monsters in power. If all of the Tailed Beasts were put together in one spot, one would have essentially all of the chakra in the world in one room and chakra was the essential natural force that tied the universe together. In that manner, Tailed Beasts are forces of nature, indestructible and unkillable, forcing mankind to toughen up and deal with it differently than destroying it.

And, if Mana knew mankind, it was stingy about things it couldn't destroy, if needed.

"Wow, what a freak, just who should I root for now? I kinda want Meiko to win but that'd mean this freak would advance as well", Kiyomi sneered at the leaking with unnatural Tailed Beast chakra Jinchuuriki who still struggled to maintain his humanity and control himself right, now having two consciousness on the steering wheel.

Without acknowledging the hateful eyes staring all around him, Daidao darted forward like an arrow. Moving on all fours naturally, like it was his natural state. Just as the Five Tails' Jinchuuriki approached his opponent it froze in place. The awesome speed of Daidao had shocked Takemito who appeared to snap out from his persona just for a moment and looked at his opponent with eyes that were taking him completely seriously.

Like a trapped wild animal, Daidao began leaping around wildly, bouncing off of the very edge of the arena just to get to the other side and bounce off again. At this point the Jinchuuriki was just thrashing and rampaging around, still trying to share control with the entity inside of him right.

"Hey..." Takemito raised his hand up, trying to talk to his opponent when enraged Daidao appeared right in front of his face with a blunt force upwards hook. When the Jinchuuriki punched diagonally upwards, the leaking snow-white chakra of his Tailed Beast formed a bubbling square construct around his fist that looked like a hoof. Takemito cartwheeled aside, the suddenness at which he had to perform the dodge made the genin trip up and tumble over on his back.

The Jinchuuriki charged forward, aiming to stomp at Takemito just like he had been stomping Daidao around before but Takemito's feet shot upwards, throwing his opponent high up in the air before the boy's entire body threw itself up in pursuit. Takemito threw fist after fist, overwhelming his confused and struggling to maintain a consistent defense opponent and pummeling Daidao ruthlessly before flipping over in mid-air and smacking the overflowing with Tailed Beast chakra Jinchuuriki down to the ground.
