During the day, Bai Ye and Mikoto accompanied Kushina as she went shopping and sightseeing.
After midnight, Kushina arrived at Bai Ye's room wearing very little.
"Bai Ye, can you really help me suppress the Nine-Tails!?"
Kushina asked Bai Ye, still somewhat doubtful.
Kushina knew the Nine-Tails inside her body very well. It was an extremely terrifying monster.
Even she, despite possessing powerful Sealing Techniques, didn't dare approach it carelessly.
Whenever she wanted to get some proper rest, the Nine-Tails would take the opportunity to leak out its Chakra and control her, making her go berserk.
That was why Kushina was so surprised to hear Bai Ye could solve the problem with the Nine-Tails.
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
"Now, take off your clothes!"
Bai Ye spoke to Kushina with complete confidence.
The Nine-Tails was a leek he could keep harvesting. How could Bai Ye possibly let such a good opportunity slip away?
He planned to visit the Nine-Tails every day, ruthlessly reaping benefits from it.
"All right..."
At Bai Ye's words, Kushina immediately revealed the seal on her stomach.
Bai Ye pressed both hands against the seal, and their consciousnesses suddenly grew hazy.
When they came to, Bai Ye and Kushina had already appeared inside the Nine-Tails' sealing space.
"You two!"
"Roar... You damn bastards! Drop dead!"
When the Nine-Tails saw Bai Ye and Kushina appear before it, it roared at them furiously.
Kushina and Bai Ye.
One had sealed the Nine-Tails, while the other kept provoking it.
Now both of its enemies had appeared before it at once. How could the Nine-Tails not be furious?
"Ah... How scary!"
Feeling the Nine-Tails' roar, Kushina fearfully hid behind Bai Ye.
"Don't be afraid! It can't hurt you anyway!"
"Just think of it as a really big dog..."
Bai Ye said to Kushina, who was behind him.
"A really big dog..."
At Bai Ye's words, Kushina peeked out from behind him and looked at the roaring Nine-Tails.
And, well, once she got over her fear and took another look at the Nine-Tails, she realized it wasn't scary at all. It was actually kind of cute.
"Hehehe... Bai Ye, you're right!"
"It's just a really big dog!"
"It really does look like a dog barking its head off..."
"Doggy, stop barking..."
Kushina looked at the Nine-Tails and spoke fearlessly.
"Bastards... Who are you calling a dog?!"
"I'm not a dog! You damn bugs!"
Hearing Kushina call it a dog made the Nine-Tails even angrier. It roared without stopping.
Unfortunately, the seal surrounding it was far too strong. No matter how much it struggled, it was useless.
All the Nine-Tails could do was rage helplessly.
In the days that followed, Bai Ye accompanied Kushina shopping and sightseeing during the day, then entered her body with her in the middle of the night to tease the Nine-Tails.
Half a month passed just like that.
After being teased for half a month, the Nine-Tails looked utterly hopeless.
Faced with Bai Ye and Kushina's provocations, it simply stopped responding.
"Hey, little doggy! Bai Ye and I are here again..."
"Why aren't you barking?"
Kushina came to the sealing cell and reached out to poke the Nine-Tails.
In response to Kushina's touch, the Nine-Tails flicked its tail in annoyance, knocking her hand away.
"Bai Ye, what's going on?"
"Why isn't it barking? Is it sick?"
Kushina asked Bai Ye in confusion.
Lately, Bai Ye had entered her body every night and teased the Nine-Tails with her.
It had become part of Bai Ye and Kushina's bedtime routine.
But today, the Nine-Tails wasn't making a sound.
"Sick? That can't be right!"
"It's a Tailed Beast. How could it get sick?"
Bai Ye came up to the sealing cell as well. He released Susanoo, forming a gigantic palm that swatted at the Nine-Tails.
"Hey... Nine-Tails, are you okay?"
"You're not really sick, are you?"
Bai Ye couldn't help asking.
The Nine-Tails was the best source of easy gains he had right now. Bai Ye couldn't let anything happen to it.
"Get lost..."
The Nine-Tails responded to Bai Ye with a single word.
"Bai Ye, it looks like the Nine-Tails really won't talk to us anymore..."
"What should we do now? This is so boring..."
Kushina said dejectedly.
In the past, Kushina would have been overjoyed if the Nine-Tails had just stayed quiet.
But after teasing it night after night, she wasn't afraid of it anymore. Instead, she treated it like a pet.
Now she couldn't sleep properly unless she teased the Nine-Tails first.
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
Bai Ye suddenly thought of a way to anger the Nine-Tails, then shouted at it.
"Hey, Nine-Tails..."
"Don't you want to be free?"
"I can undo your seal..."
Bai Ye shouted at the Nine-Tails.
"Undo my seal!"
"You'll really set me free?"
Hearing Bai Ye's words, the Nine-Tails immediately perked up and turned its enormous head toward him.
"Of course. But you have to promise that once I undo your seal, you won't attack us..."
Bai Ye looked at the Nine-Tails.
"As long as you set me free..."
"I won't attack you."
The Nine-Tails grinned as it spoke.
But would it really leave Bai Ye and Kushina unharmed?
Obviously not.
The Nine-Tails wanted nothing more than to kill those two damn humans.
They had been teasing it in the middle of the night every day and even called it a dog.
Even a saint had his limits.
The moment it regained its freedom, it would kill those two damn humans.
Of course, it couldn't show its murderous intent now.
First, it had to get the human to undo the seal.
"Bai Ye, are you really going to undo the Nine-Tails' seal?"
Kushina asked with some concern.
"Of course... Don't you trust me, Kushina?"
"I... Of course I trust you, Bai Ye. Go ahead and do what you want..."
Kushina was still a little worried, but she chose to trust Bai Ye.
"Nine-Tails, get ready!"
"I'm undoing your seal now!"
Bai Ye formed a hand seal, then directly pulled the tag off the cage.
Without the tag, the seal on the entire cage immediately stopped working, and the huge cage swung open.
