No One Should Object, Right? [Seeking Recommendation Votes]

# Chapter 5: Probably No One Will Object [Please Vote]

What kind of ridiculous names were these? Even the proud yet polite Two-Tails couldn't bear to listen anymore.

"Stop!! Little one!!

Your situation isn't good right now!! Do you want power?!"

The Two-Tails blew two puffs of hot air from its nose, sending Toneri, who had been practically clinging to the bars, flying backward.

Forcibly stopping his reckless behavior.

This little brat showed no fear of it at all, as if he thought that as long as he didn't cross those bars, it couldn't do anything to him!

Time to teach him a lesson!

To a certain extent, a Tailed Beast shared some thoughts and sensory abilities with its Jinchūriki.

And it didn't take much thought.

When the Two-Tails realized it was inside this little one's body, and that the seal imprisoning it wasn't as secure as it seemed, it roughly guessed the boy's situation.

His previous Jinchūriki, though not weak in Sealing Jutsu, had been at death's door back then and had only reached a passable level.

Reinforcing his own seal wasn't too much of a problem, but sealing a Tailed Beast into someone else's body—his ability fell short.

If the Two-Tails itself hadn't been severely injured, it could break the seal right now, take over Toneri's body, and be completely free!

This wasn't inside Kumogakure anymore. As long as it seized the Jinchūriki's body and gained full freedom, escaping into the mountains would make it much harder for Kumogakure to find him.

But even if it couldn't force its way out of the seal now, it still had methods.

Hearing the Two-Tails' tempting words, Toneri was stunned.

Then his eyes grew hazy, and scenes kept flashing through his mind—him, after gaining the Two-Tails' power, slaughtering all the Kumogakure ninja chasing him, then roaming the world freely with the Two-Tails' strength, punching the Third Hokage, kicking the Fourth Hokage, and reaching the peak of life. A beautiful dream.

From the Two-Tails' perspective, it saw Toneri standing there not far away, eyes vacant, as a wisp of cold Blue Flame slowly rose from beneath his feet, covering his ankles, knees, thighs, waist, chest, shoulders, lips...

Watching the boy being slowly enveloped, the Two-Tails lightly licked its lips, its eyes slightly excited.

This seal was much weaker than the previous one.

It couldn't forcibly break free in its current injured state, but the limit on how much of its energy could leak out had increased significantly.

As long as it covered this little one's entire body with its energy, then his body would become its own.

In fact, it wasn't just in the strange space of the seal. Outside, curled up inside the carriage, Toneri's body was also slowly being wrapped in pale blue energy, mixed with a few bubbles.

It looked like it should be extremely hot, yet nothing around him inside the carriage caught fire.

Just as the pale blue energy was about to cover Toneri's eyes, he jolted awake.

His eyes snapped open, shooting out two sharp gleams, then quickly faded.

"What?!! How is that possible?!! (Nani hodo?)"

The Two-Tails shot to its feet, eyes wide as it stared at Toneri, as if seeing him for the first time.

This was the first time it had ever seen such a thing!

Just one step away, and he woke up at this moment!

Just one step away, and this little brat would have gone berserk, giving it an opening!

Just one step away, and it could have broken free from this damned cage—the sky high for birds to fly, the sea wide for fish to leap!

It couldn't understand how this little one had pulled back from the brink at the last moment.

Toneri's eyes cleared. He looked around, confirmed his surroundings, let out a long breath, and muttered, "I knew it. There's no way it's that exaggerated. A Two-Tails wouldn't let me punch the Third and kick the Fourth..."

"What?"

The Two-Tails hadn't caught his muttering.

Toneri shook his head and looked up at the towering Two-Tails.

When it stood up, he seemed even smaller.

"Two-Tails, my situation really isn't ideal right now, and I do need power. But if it's power I can't control, I'd rather not have it!"

The tiny Toneri stared at the mountain-like beast, speaking each word clearly.

"Because it's uncontrollable power, so you choose to refuse?" The Two-Tails lowered itself again, its eyes hovering at the edge of the bars, staring intently at the little one before it.

It had seen countless humans. When they learned they could gain immense power without effort just by lowering their guard, most chose to compromise.

This was the first time it had seen someone so rational.

"But! Do you know what my power represents?! This is the power of me, the Two-Tails!!"

The roaring voice, carrying thick energy fluctuations, rang out and echoed through the space.

Then Toneri felt a powerful aura rushing toward him—this was the true presence of an ancient beast, the Two-Tails, famous across the ninja world.

"Exactly. Because it's your power, the Two-Tails', that's why I can't accept it."

Toneri seemed unaffected by the fierce aura from the Two-Tails' roar, his tone calm, only emphasizing the words "your power."

He was even a little relieved that the Two-Tails didn't have bad breath.

Otherwise, with such a huge breath, I'm really afraid I'd be directly suffocated and kick the bucket.

"You!!"

Hearing Toneri say this so matter-of-factly, Two-Tails was momentarily at a loss for how to express her emotions, stammering.

"Alright, alright, I know you're formidable, and I know Two-Tails is an incredibly remarkable Tailed Beast. I have no intention of looking down on you. It's just that right now, your heart is full of rejection toward me, and your mind is set on how to take over my body, so we can't communicate properly."

Toneri shifted to a tone as if soothing a child as he spoke to Two-Tails.

Because in his eyes, the roaring Two-Tails had suddenly turned into a soft, mewling little kitten, putting all her effort into an "ow-ow," yet posing no threat to him at all.

Hearing Toneri's words, Two-Tails froze in place.

What does this mean?

Talking to her like a child?

Toneri lightly clapped his hands. "I think I've more or less figured out the structure of this place. Let's end our conversation here for now. I'll come see you next time!

Bye-bye now, Big Beauty!"

As his voice fell, Toneri's figure slowly dissipated in this space, leaving only Two-Tails standing there dumbfounded.

After who knows how long since Toneri left, Two-Tails finally snapped out of it.

But she wasn't as angry as before. Instead, she shook her head with relative calm, and lay back down on the ground.

As she lowered herself, she even curled the corner of her mouth and slowly shook her head.

Since becoming a Tailed Beast, she had encountered so many humans and gone through countless generations of Jinchūriki, yet this was the first time she'd met such a curious little brat.

A mere kid, frail in body, devoid of any power, even somewhat malnourished, yet able to chat and laugh freely before her.

As if he didn't fear her much.

Without fear, her ability to stir his emotions couldn't achieve its desired effect.

Her past Jinchūriki, no matter how calm they appeared before her, would reveal their true nature the moment she lightly provoked them.

This little brat was the first one on whom neither her death glare nor her emotional manipulation worked.

After lying down, Two-Tails looked at the blue fur on her forelegs, stuck out her tongue, and gently licked her paw.

"This little brat is strange, but he sure knows how to talk.

I, Two-Tails, am the prettiest of all the Tailed Beasts. I doubt anyone would argue that...

Probably..."
