Chapter 63: Chapter 63: A Bear Drooling at Him!
Gekko Chizan lay on the hospital bed, feeling the faint killing intent coming from both his sides, so intense he didn't dare move a muscle.
All he could do was silently open up his status panel.

The only gain was that his tailed beast transformation progress had reached 90%, meaning that at this point, he could fully transform into the Seven Tails while still keeping his consciousness intact. He was now the epitome of a perfect Jinchūriki.
The rewards were great, but the price was a bit too much.
Just look to the left—Fugaku practically about to draw his sword—and to the right, a pale-faced Minato glaring daggers at him.
Ah, what suffering.
"Chōmei, how long until my body recovers?"
"I'm not asking for a full recovery—just enough to move is fine!"
"I really can't stand staying here any longer."
Gekko Chizan pleaded bitterly with his loyal partner.
Hoping he could help him escape this pit of misery.
"Hm... There is a way, I suppose. After all, I am the Seven Tails."
"It's just... this method might not suit you very well. And it could have some side effects..."
Chōmei was thoroughly enjoying the drama playing out, but his little bro was stuck in it too. If he wanted to enjoy more drama in the future, he had to help his partner out.
"Screw the side effects. As long as I can get out of here quickly, I'll take anything!"
Gekko Chizan had made up his mind. If he could move, he would've already used Flying Thunder God to escape.
Even lying in a forest somewhere would be better than being trapped between these two guys!
"You know powder, right...?"
"Use that to numb your whole body. That'll reduce the effect of the meds on you. Then, in that short window, use Flying Thunder God to escape."
"Do you remember tailed beast transformation?"
Gekko Chizan jolted at Chōmei's words.
Right! How could he have forgotten tailed beast transformation?! As long as he transformed, the surge of his massive chakra would surely evaporate the lingering medicine in his body instantly.
"Great! Chōmei, that's a brilliant idea!"
"Quick! I can't mobilize my chakra at all right now. Lend me yours and help me with the powder!"
Hearing Chizan's excitement, Chōmei paused for a moment.
"Chizan, you have to understand—although you're my Jinchūriki now, tailed beast transformation is a process."
"If you lose control during your first time, we could both end up imprisoned by Konoha."
"I just got out of hell. I'm not going back."
Oh, so that's what he was worried about?
Right now, Gekko Chizan had already mastered 90% of his tailed beast transformation. One round of partial transformation was nothing.
Even if he didn't go full beast mode, just entering a partial transformation would be enough.
He just wanted to purge the medicine from his body quickly. And it looked like victory was close at hand.
"Relax, Chōmei. Just go ahead and use the powder. Leave the transformation to me!"
"With our bond, our synergy, a little tailed beast transformation is nothing. Don't worry a bit."
"You just get the powder in me. I'll handle the rest!"
Feeling Gekko Chizan's confidence, Chōmei didn't really get where it was coming from—but with a 100% affinity between them, he decided to trust him anyway.
"Alright then, Chizan. Watch your condition closely. As soon as you feel numbness coming on..."
"Activate Flying Thunder God immediately. I'll let the powder flow into you bit by bit. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll go into shock."
This powder wasn't something Chizan conjured—it came from within Chōmei himself.
Which meant it was far more potent.
The moment it entered his body, Chizan's tongue already felt numb.
"Ah... ah..." (You two idiots—I'm outta here!)
"Ah!!!" (Bye-bye!)
Uchiha Fugaku and Namikaze Minato watched as Gekko Chizan opened his mouth wide, yelling incoherently.
Their foreheads were immediately covered in veins.
"Bastard! You go mute or something? What the hell is that 'ah'?!"
"Yeah, can't you talk properly? What the hell are you yelling for?!"
The two of them were instantly furious. If not for the IV drip, they would've both gone over to land a solid punch on him.
But in the very next second, they froze.
Because Gekko Chizan had vanished—IV drip and all.
"He disappeared? No, wait, did he teleport using a technique?"
"Flying Thunder God? No way. I can't even mobilize my chakra right now—how did he manage that?"
Fugaku was stunned. Minato was speechless.
Ever since they started receiving IV fluids, it felt like their chakra had been locked. They couldn't use anything—much less ninjutsu.
And this guy—Gekko Chizan—actually just used Flying Thunder God to escape???
What the hell was going on!!!
...
Activating Flying Thunder God, Gekko Chizan teleported to the farthest marked location.
In a flash, he arrived in the Forest of Death.
"Damn, this forest is creepy and dark. Where is this?"
"Konoha actually has a place like this?"
Chōmei was startled to see the bright hospital room instantly turn into a gloomy forest.
The contrast in lighting was just too drastic.
"Ah..."
Gekko Chizan opened his mouth but found his tongue and lips no longer belonged to him. Drool was running down his cheek.
In frustration, he could only communicate with Chōmei telepathically:
"Don't worry about where we are. Just get ready for tailed beast transformation."
"This forest doesn't feel safe. I don't want to get ambushed by some bear..."
"Holy crap!! Chōmei, you damn bastard—get ready fast! THERE'S A BEAR!!!"
Right in front of Gekko Chizan stood a massive beast—brownish-gray fur, standing a full three meters tall.
It was a freaking bear!!!!!
And that wasn't even the worst part—the bear was drooling as it looked at him!!!
"Tailed beast transformation! Tailed beast transformation!!!"
"Chōmei, hurry up!!!"
Without hesitation, Gekko Chizan rushed to the seal and threw the gates open.
Chōmei's chakra surged out instantly.
