Chapter 11: You Think You've Got Me All Figured Out? [Seeking Recommendations]
The Kumo Ninja Anbu's curiosity wasn't diminished by Toneri's actions; instead, it intensified.
He saw Toneri's defensive movements.
He was certain that the other party hadn't initially reacted when he solidly kicked him.
However, after being kicked away, he immediately curled up his body.
To reduce the damage caused by the impact.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he understood that this kid could indeed see some of his movements, or at least a hint of them.
A normal person, seeing an Anbu Ninja's movements?
He stomped hard on the ground, maximizing his speed.
Directly closing in on Toneri, who was still flying backward.
Keeping pace with him.
A short blade of unknown material danced in his hand, and as white light flashed, spurts of blood blossomed on Toneri's body.
The Kumo Ninja Anbu never intended to finish off Toneri.
So these knife wounds, though numerous, weren't aimed at any vital points.
Bang!!
After quickly slashing dozens of times, the Kumo Ninja Anbu reached out and grabbed Toneri, stopping him from flying any further.
He grabbed Toneri by the collar.
Lifting him into the air as if he were a small chick, weightless.
His eyes, peering through the mask, coldly looked at Toneri in his hand.
Even if his reaction speed was surprising, he was still just a child without Chakra.
A little weakling!
At first glance, Toneri's appearance was extremely miserable, covered in blood.
His head drooped, utterly disheveled!
The Kumo Ninja hidden beneath the mask subconsciously curled the corner of his mouth.
No matter how special, he's just a kid!
"Little guy, looks like you're not in the best shape right now?"
Just as Toneri was silently enduring the pain from the dense wounds on his body, his consciousness reappeared in that familiar seal space.
Toneri's appearance in the seal space was no different from outside, covered in blood.
The Kumo Ninja Anbu was clearly very experienced with his knife, each wound only looking terrible but not fatal.
Toneri weakly raised his head and glanced at the Two-Tails, who was lying on the fence with a gloating expression.
"What... Beautiful, do you feel sorry for me?"
He really didn't have the strength; just saying these words made him feel like he had used all his energy.
"..."
The Two-Tails' playful expression froze.
He didn't expect that this kid in front of him, even in this state, still had the energy to tease him.
But soon, he put the matter aside for the time being, because there was something more important now!
"Now! Do you still want my power?
As long as you get my power, you can tear apart that garbage-like existence outside with ease!
Even, as long as you get my power, you can become one of the few powerhouses in this world in one fell swoop!
I can feel it, right now in your heart, you are filled with a desire for something called 'power.'"
The Two-Tails looked at Toneri, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse, his words full of intense temptation.
Toneri didn't raise his head again, but silently slumped to the ground.
The Two-Tails didn't bother Toneri to make a choice, quietly waiting for his answer with a smile on his face.
This is a sure thing!
Toneri had been coming in every day to chat with him for no reason, to understand him, which the Two-Tails knew very well.
But, wasn't this also the process of the Two-Tails understanding Toneri?
He thought he had almost seen through his personality.
All he did was to save his own life, and now, at this critical moment of life and death, the Two-Tails believed that the cowardly Toneri would definitely choose to compromise!
The entire sealing space was left with only Toneri and the Two-Tails' breathing.
Slightly hurried, panting...
Panting...
Toneri was tired, while the Two-Tails was a little excited!
Finally!
The chance to regain freedom was right in front of her!
Only one step away from freedom!
With the strength of the seal on Toneri, as long as she could get out once, she was confident that she could completely control this body!
"Sigh... it seems there's no way around it..."
After a moment, Toneri slowly raised his head, his back gradually straightened, looking at the delighted Two-Tails, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
"In that case, we'll just have to die together."
Thud--
Toneri instantly collapsed, falling backward, lying directly on the ground.
Life was hopeless!
The Two-Tails' two different colored eyes widened instantly.
Although she didn't know the meaning of the word "die together," the Two-Tails could roughly guess that it wasn't a good word.
What was he trying to do?
Give up resisting?
Toneri pursed his lips, trying not to expose his emotions...
Endure!
"What... do you mean?" the Two-Tails said in a deep voice.
Sitting up again, Toneri raised his head and looked up at the Two-Tails, who was much taller than him even when lying on the ground.
Spreading his hands, he looked very helpless, "You've seen it too, the opponent is a Ninja, a malnourished kid like me definitely can't deal with him.
I'm already covered in scars and have become the fish on his chopping board, at his mercy. What can I do? I'm also very helpless--"
"..."
The Two-Tails was silent.
"Anyway, even if I use your power, I'll only become your puppet in the end, which is no different from dying directly.
On the contrary, I might die a little more simply this way. Resisting desperately is too tiring!
Maybe...
The more I resist, the more excited he gets! I can tell he has the potential to be a pervert.
It's not worth it, not worth it..."
Toneri looked at the silent Two-Tails, unable to hold back, and continued, "But, have you ever thought about what the final outcome will be for me in my current situation?"
"Indeed, I might not die immediately, but be captured by the Kumo Ninja and severely tortured, even having my memories read to obtain the information they want. Such a development might make me wish I were dead."
"But, what about you?"
"As the Two-Tails, you are a weapon of war that Kumogakure will never give up. Once I'm captured, what will happen to you?"
"The best-case scenario is that they'll find another container for you, and it will be the kind of seal that's so tight, it won't give you any room to breathe. It'll be basically impossible for you to break free.
Even if you are a Tailed Beast, possessing powerful Chakra, I believe you've seen the power of Kumogakure."
"What about the worst-case scenario? You'll leave with me!"
"I know you Tailed Beasts are very special, you are carriers of special Chakra, and you won't really die. In three years, five years at most, you'll be fully recovered!
But how long can you be carefree? Kumogakure will definitely come looking for you again! This is your destiny, you can't escape!"
"Moreover, I learned from the old man who sealed you into me back then that you seem to be more unwilling to disappear from this world for a few years than to be sealed, right?"
"So, do you really think that my current situation has nothing to do with you?"
"Do you really think that if I'm not doing well, you'll be doing well?"
Toneri said a lot, without the half-dead look he had just had.
This place, in essence, is inside his body, not his real body, but a carrier of consciousness. It just looks a bit miserable, but it's not as battered as it is outside.
He might have been a little weak when he first came in, but he has recovered a lot now.
Listening to Toneri's words, the Two-Tails' smile gradually faded.
This dark sealing space returned to silence again.
Only four eyes, silently facing each other.
"So, you think you've got me figured out?" the Two-Tails' voice sounded cold for the first time.
